Volume 1 Chapter 43 Who said I was going to cheat
Why did Yang Rong suddenly sit in the position of Yang Cong's successor and introduce the Yang family's assets to Yang Cong?
This move really didn't want Yang Conglei, he just came to tell Yang Rong that he wanted to take the entrance examination.
He never thought about taking over the Yang family's industry, at least he hadn't thought about it at this time, he just wanted to take the test for a show talent at this time, and first take down the first beauty in Hui'an.
In fact, Yang Rong was not on a whim, and suddenly thought about cultivating Yang Cong, and he decided to do so after careful thinking.
It is true that Yang Cong is his eldest son and grandson, but Yang Cong's previous performance made him very disappointed, and the whole thing was a pure loser, and he didn't think about bothering to cultivate Yang Cong at that time.
However, during this time, Yang Cong seems to have suddenly grown up and become sensible, not only has he been measured in what he says and does, but he will also take the initiative to make friends with powerful people.
Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng, and Tang Kekuan are all worthy of befriending the generals, and Xu Jie is a big man who Zhang Shen has to tie up.
Yang Cong was able to make friends with so many "useful" people, which really surprised him, especially Xu Jie, who was a shocking figure who might be in charge of the cabinet in the future!
This Xu Jie, I don't know for what purpose, actually called his grandson a brother, but no matter what the purpose, this kind of big man, as long as he can tie up, it is a great thing for the Yang family.
In these years, the official gentry is not so easy to stammer, Zhang Shen has spent tens of thousands of taels of silver on him, and on the surface, he introduces himself as a "confidant", but he ignores the marriage.
Yang Cong's performance in settling up with the powerful is even better than himself, and the cultivation of future successors can naturally be carried out in advance.
Yang Rong is cultivating Yang Cong as his successor at this time, so he will introduce the Yang family's industry to Yang Cong in detail.
However, Yang Cong didn't seem to have the surprise he imagined, he was stunned for a while, and then said, "Grandpa, this, grandson wants to tell you something." ”
Say something?
So solemn?
Does it cost a lot of silver?
Spending money is not a problem, as long as it is worth spending, it doesn't matter if it's tens of thousands of taels or even hundreds of thousands of taels.
Yang Rong nodded calmly and said, "Well, you say, what's the matter?" ”
Yang Cong explained with some embarrassment: "This, grandpa, here's the thing, last time I was in the Zhang family, Brother Zisheng told my grandson that as long as my grandson could be admitted to Xiucai, he would be able to persuade the Zhang family and let the Zhang family agree to the marriage between Sun Er and that Zhang Zhen." ”
Exam Xiucai?
This Yang Rong has naturally thought about it, and the Yang family has been working hard for several generations, and even he himself has participated in the county exam, question, this Xiucai is not something you can be admitted if you want to be admitted, the Yang family has failed for several generations, can his grandson be admitted to Xiucai?
To be honest, Yang Rong is not very keen on the matter of taking the Xiucai test, because the fame of Xiucai is not of much use, so it is better to spend money to donate an official.
Of course, he didn't mean that he wasn't keen on the imperial examination, if someone in the Yang family could be admitted to the imperial examination, it would be a big deal, and with the financial resources of the Yang family, he could use this to become one of the gentry class.
Question, the Yang family has not even passed the county examination in these generations, and the examination is not a dream?
Unless a genius suddenly appears in the Yang family, otherwise, it will be difficult to get through this imperial examination.
Therefore, he was really not very enthusiastic about the examination of Xiucai, and the Yang family did not expect anything about the imperial examination.
However, as soon as Yang Cong said this, he immediately became interested.
He is not interested in Xiucai's fame, but in marrying the Zhang family, as long as he is admitted to Xiucai, he can marry the Zhang family, this kind of good thing, naturally can't be missed!
No one in the Yang family can be admitted to the show, but it doesn't mean that the Yang family can't get the fame of this show, as long as you spend a little effort and some money, this show can still get the fame, but it was not much use to get a show talent in the past, and the Yang family didn't bother to get it, but now it's different.
He thought about it, then gritted his teeth and said, "Cong'er, do you want to try?" If you want to, grandpa can help you find a way, the county test and the government test are easy to say, spend some money and pass. The college exam is a bit troublesome, and it is definitely impossible to pass it directly, but it is not impossible, we can get the topic in advance, ask someone to make an article, and you will write it again, and this will be it. Just dictate, you should be fine, right? ”
I'm dizzy, who said I'm going to cheat!
Yang Cong was simply scorched by the thunder, he was stunned for a long time, then shook his head, and said curtly: "Grandpa, grandson doesn't mean this, grandson wants to take the test himself." ”
This time it was Yang Rong's turn to be stunned.
Do you take the test yourself?
He stared at Yang Cong up and down for a while, then shook his head and sighed: "Cong'er, people, sometimes you have to know how to be flexible, you want to study hard, this is a good thing, but this opportunity will not wait for you, if you work hard for five or six years, you may be able to be admitted to Xiucai, but the Zhang family can't wait for you for five or six years, you must get Xiucai as soon as possible, the sooner the better, you know?" ”
What kind of eyes do you have, do I look like I can't show off my talent in the deputy exam?
Yang Cong was slightly unconvinced: "This grandson knows that the grandson has asked the county to report his name, and after about twenty days, the grandson can participate in the county exam." ”
Yang Rong glanced at Yang Cong in surprise, and then nodded slowly: "Well, yes, Cong'er, you have really grown up, this thing is done well, if you don't say it, grandpa has forgotten, the time for this county trial registration has long passed, well, very good, the next thing will be handed over to grandpa to deal with." ”
I'm fainting, don't keep thinking about whether it's good to cheat, it's not right.
Yang Cong shook his head resolutely and said, "Grandpa, you don't have to worry about it, your grandson will take the test by himself, no problem." ”
When Yang Rong heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly: "Cong'er, why don't you understand, it's a good thing to be ambitious, but you also have to consider the actual situation, this time, we can't afford to lose, you know?" ”
Yang Cong nodded without thinking: "I know, as soon as my grandson came back, I borrowed a few articles from Mr. Yan, and studied them carefully for a night, and the next day, Mr. Yan happened to test the essay, and the grandson tried to write two, not only Mr. Yan praised his grandson for being a genius, but the county magistrates all said that in time, the grandson will definitely be able to be named on the gold list, and the ancestors will be glorious!" ”
When Yang Rong heard this, his face was full of disbelief: "Cong'er, didn't they accept your money and deliberately praise you, right?" ”
What are these words, Yang Cong cried and laughed: "Grandpa, really, my grandson also feels that the essays he made are similar to those of those talents." ”
When Yang Rong heard this, he couldn't help but say with a straight face: "Cong'er, it's not a good habit to brag about yourself. ”
Yang Cong was speechless, why did his grandfather not believe in himself so much?
Yang Rong's words really made him a little unconvinced, he suddenly stood up, ran out, and turned back and said: "Grandpa, my grandson wrote three articles yesterday, if you don't believe it, my grandson will show it to you." ”
Three?
Deceptive, right?
How could it be possible to make three test-taking eight-strand essays in one day, Yang Rong didn't believe it even more.
He has also participated in the county exam, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to write the standard eight-strand essay for the exam, not to mention doing three eight-strand essays a day, Yang Cong will be able to make an eight-strand essay that is about the same level as Xiucai in three days.
At this moment, he seriously suspected that this grandson was bragging!
