Sincerity Uncle Liu Yu has a clear appearance, a long beard under the chin, and a fairy wind and bones. After listening to his son, he was silent for a long time, sighed, and said, "Ah Nian, do you want to participate in the school review?" ”

Liu Nian is his youngest son, he has been smart since he was a child, but he doesn't like to read, and when he is a little older, he mixes with An Xiangbo's lawless only son, and fights all day long.

They are the outliers among the sons of the nobles.

Liu Yu was worried that his youngest son would become the scum of the family in the future, but fortunately, he was pure in nature and had never suppressed the good, otherwise he would have expelled him from the house while he was alive, so as not to cause trouble for the family.

The youngest son is so abnormal today, he won't fall for anyone, right? No matter how smart he is, how young is he, who is the opponent of those old treacherous and slippery people? Liu Yu couldn't help but go deeper, and he repeatedly handed over the chapter to ask his eldest son Liu Shiyan to be the son, but he was like a stone in the sea. The emperor's refusal to confer the title of Count of Sincerity is really puzzling, whether he wants the title of Count of Sincerity to end here, or whether he is dissatisfied with Shiyan.

To deal with the Sincerity Bofu, the best breakthrough is Liu Nian. If you change to Liu Yu, you will also choose Liu Nian to start.

The Cotai Strip is right in front of you, and you are not a useless waste, not a rice bucket that eats and waits for death all day long. Liu Nian's heart was excited, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Exactly." Father, please make it clear that your Majesty wants to be a state with the Tartars, or does he intend to send troops against the Tartars? ”

Along the way, he thought about it again and again, and there were only two possibilities.

Liu Yu smiled bitterly: "How do I know? ”

He is idle at home, relying on Yulu and a few shops to support himself for a long time, how can he see the face of the sky, and how can he know the emperor's thoughts?

Liu Nian said: "Why doesn't my father know? The last time my son saw the swaggering of the messengers of Warat on the street, everyone avoided them, and A-Ning was angry and wanted to fight with them, but I stopped him. Father, the envoy of Warat enters Beijing several times a year, how to write this policy? ”

Don't ask me about such a sensitive diplomatic issue. After a long time, Liu Yu said: "You go and call A-Ning over, I have something to ask him." ”

"A-Ning will never lie to me." Liu Nian's chest was held high, and he said sonorously.

"He won't lie to you, but what if he is deceived? An Xiangbo has been guarding Datong for many years, and I don't know how many people are red-eyed. Liu Yu smiled bitterly, did not say that Datong is a pass, now that Daming and Warat are on good terms, Warat enters the customs several times a year to pay tribute, will there be no oil and water in this pass? Who believes?

"Uncle Zhang is fighting on the battlefield, his life is on the line, what is there to be jealous of?" Liu Nian was puzzled.

It's really not a family that doesn't know that oil and rice are expensive, do you think you don't need silver taels to call slaves and maids? Three meals a day plus snacks fell from the sky? And where did the new clothes that had to be purchased in order to support the façade, the carriages that were always maintained, and the horses necessary for the nobles' families, come from? Which one doesn't need silver taels?

"Son, you are still young, and you don't know how sinister people are." He touched his son's head and said earnestly: "If you go in person, you will say that your father invited him to come to the house." ”

Father wants to ask him himself, to confirm that the title is really these two words? Liu Nian said: "Okay." ”

…………

It was not early, Qing'er came in to light the lamp, and said, "Son, it's time to eat." ”

Zhang Ning glanced up at the window, the courtyard was shrouded in gray, and the air dead wind lamp under the porch emitted an orange light. It's time to eat.

He said, "I'm not hungry, I'll talk about it later." After eating a few plates of dim sum before, my stomach was still very full, so I motioned Qing'er to step back, picked up the brush again, and wrote.

He remembered reading in a book that there was a bud of capitalism in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, but it was only for a very short time. Does this mean that the Industrial Revolution was suitable for the Ming Dynasty? Is it feasible to develop the economy, focusing on the development of industry?

How to develop the economy? The historical knowledge he learned in class combined with the miscellaneous books he read in his spare time, and he wrote down his thoughts on paper. Of course, just ideas, if there is no emperor to support them, these can only be thrown into the wastebasket in the end.

While writing stopped, the door was pushed open and a person entered.

Zhang Ning didn't raise his head and said, "Qing'er, knock on the door first when you enter the room in the future." ”

The little girl must be taught to knock on the door, otherwise she will often rush in coldly, who can afford it?

Two voices sounded at the same time, and Qing'er's voice was outside the door: "Childe, not a slave." Liu Gongzi didn't need to be reported by the slave maid, and went straight in. "Liu Gongzi is not good at this, and Gongzi doesn't talk about him.

"It's me." Liu Nian said: "My father invited you to come over." You didn't have dinner, and you can eat together by the way. "When you talk to your brother, you don't have to think about the wording.

Zhang Ning put down the pen, dried the ink, folded the paper and put it away, and said, "Uncle Liu has something to do with me?" ”

The original owner often goes to the Sincerity Uncle's Mansion to play, but rarely sees the Sincerity Uncle, even if he meets by chance, his nose is not a nose, his eyes are not eyes, why do you suddenly want to see me? Zhang Ning muttered in his heart.

"My dad doesn't believe we'll make it through." Liu Nian had a lot of eyes, and did not directly say that his father did not believe Zhang Ning's sources, but said that he did not believe that the two of them had the ability to pass the review. The two of them are not reading materials, and the elders in the family look down on them, isn't it normal?

How did you mess up and make such a bad impression on your father? Zhang Ning complained silently, and decisively refused to admit that the unreliable things that the original owner had done had a copper plate relationship with him. After a few breaths, he said, "Let's go." "By the way, rub the rice.

There was a curfew in the capital, and the two met the captain who checked the night on the road, and Liu Nian showed the waist card of the sincerity of the Bofu and was able to pass. When I arrived at the Sincerity Mansion, the drums were already sounding.

Liu Yu was reading a book in the study, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he put down the book and accepted the two of them safely, and said with a smile: "A-Ning has grown taller again." ”

The attitude has changed 180 degrees, how could you have been so kind before? Zhang Ning complained silently again, revealing eight big white teeth and said, "Uncle, I want to ask where the questions for proofreading come from?" It's inconvenient for the little nephew to say, but the news is conclusive, and the uncle can rest assured. ”

The news came from the emperor, but it couldn't be said, otherwise once it leaked, the consequences would be unpredictable. But there is one thing Zhang Ning is very sure of, Zhu Qizhen will not only deny leaking the question, but also change the question, he will become a direct victim, and the advantages he has worked so hard to gain will be gone.

This kid is a little different from before, as if he has suddenly grown up. Liu Yu looked at Zhang Ning carefully, his eyebrows and eyes were the same, but he felt like another person.

What's going on? He glanced at his son, and when he saw his son looking at him eagerly, he couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Silly son, people are starting to plan for the future, and you are still not doing your job every day." ”

"The facts are significant, how can you tell the difference?"

The school review is related to the future of the noble children, and all the nobles are watching it.

Zhang Ning said: "I have already signed up. Does my uncle think I'm going to take the risk myself? ”

Liu Yu's face changed slightly. When was the last time he saw this kid? A year ago, or half a year ago? Why is he so calm? Just this stability, his son is much worse than him.
