She turned her head to look at Zheng Hao and said with a smile: "Zheng Zhuangshi, it's okay to come with me to meet my father." ”

"It's good!" Zheng Hao nodded.

Get to know the county and let the county accept a great favor from him, which is good for his subsequent development.

Of course, Zheng Zhefan would like to meet Cheng Zhixian.

He said to Zheng Chong: "Brother Chong, you wait for me here, I'll come when I go." ”

"Brother Hao, go ahead! I'm just squatting here for a while. Zheng Chong said angrily.

"This strong man, why don't you go to my house to rest together." Cheng Fanglian sent out a not-so-sincere invitation.

Speaking of which, it was Zheng Chong who rescued her.

Zheng Hao just took a hand.

However, in Cheng Fanglian's heart, she still regarded Zheng Hao as a life-saving benefactor.

Without him, just because Zheng Hao was born handsome, and Zheng Chong was rejected ugly.

"No need, Miss Cheng, I'm a rough person, I met the county master, if I said the wrong thing, it would be bad." Zheng Chong waved his hand.

"Brother Chong, if you're hungry, you should go buy something to eat first." Zheng Hao admonished.

"Hey, hey! My stomach is really a little gurgling, since Brother Hao said so, then I'm welcome, first go buy a bowl of noodles to pad your stomach. Zheng Chong said that, turned around and strode towards a restaurant not far from the county office.

Although rice is the staple food in Wuxi, there are also noodles, such as this Wuxi local, there are three fresh noodles, beef brisket noodles and other noodles are popular, and traces of Nanjing's skin belly noodles can also be found here.

"Your partner is really a foodie, but it's also honest and cute." Cheng Fanglian commented.

"Don't look at him ugly, but he is very kind and sincere, loyal and honest, I like him very much." Zheng Hao praised Zheng Chong.

Cheng Fanglian took Zheng Hao into the small door of the back office, and came to the study where Cheng Zhixian was located.

"Daddy!" Cheng Fanglian entered the door and pouted.

Cheng Zhixian, who was writing a book at the desk, heard his daughter calling him, and promised to look up, but saw his daughter leading a handsome young man he didn't know to come to his case.

He frowned.

"Lian'er, who is he?" Cheng Zhixian pointed at Zheng Hao and asked.

"Daddy, he's my savior." Cheng Fanglian said.

"A lifesaver? What just happened? Cheng Zhixian was shocked. He knew that Cheng An, the old servant, took his daughter out to play, did he encounter any danger?

Zheng Hao smiled slightly, he felt that it was time for him to show his graceful demeanor and eloquence.

"My lord, Xiao Min can tell Miss what happened just now...... he told him everything that happened just now.

After finishing speaking, Zheng Hao frowned and sighed and said, "My lord, I think that there must be a force in this county that wants to target you now. ”

"Huh? Why do you have this idea? Cheng Zhixian raised his eyebrows, looked at Zheng Hao and asked.

"Because you are the parents of this county, you hold the supreme power of this county, and you have been in office for more than a few months, and all forces in this county have a very detailed understanding of your situation, even if there are some headless ghosts in the county who act arrogantly, under normal circumstances, they do not dare to rashly move your family's thoughts! Therefore, today's events will not happen by chance, but will be a long-planned atrocity! Zheng Hao said in detail.

Cheng Yuan listened to Zheng Hao's words, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

This kid doesn't look like he's thirteen or fourteen years old at most, right? I didn't expect the scheming to be so deep, and I can see things so thoroughly, what a genius!

However, Cheng Zhixian did not trust Zheng Hao.

Naturally, he wouldn't immediately say those heart-wrenching words to Zheng Hao.

He asked, "I haven't asked you what your name is?" ”

"Don't respect the surname Zheng, my name is Zheng Hao, Guan Er Zheng, Hao Hao!" Zheng Hao replied.

"Where's the home?"

"Back to my lord, the kid is from Qianguli Village, Xingning Township, this county."

"What does my father do for a living?"

"Back to my lord, I have always been in business, Chongzhen has passed away in seven years, and Xian Yan also died two years ago due to excessive grief, leaving only the boy to stand alone in the world." Zheng Hao said, his eyes were red.

"Hmm! I see! Mourning, mourning! Cheng Zhixian saw that Zheng Hao's tears were almost about to flow out, and hurriedly comforted him.

"Thank you for your concern!" Zheng Hao said with a salute.

"What is your spring and autumn this year?" The magistrate nodded appreciatively and asked again.

"The boy is thirteen years old." Zheng Hao said respectfully.

"Have you ever read or written?" The more Cheng Zhixian asked, the more interested he became in Zheng Hao.

"After six years of social studies, after the death of Xianyu, I dropped out of school and stayed at home." Zheng Hao said.

"Have you ever been a boy?" Cheng Zhixian asked again.

The children's examination is also the examination to obtain the qualification of the scientific examination, and there are three examinations, namely the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination. Only by passing the college examination and showing talent in the examination can you truly enter the scholar class.

This is also the only upward channel for the children of the poor family.

However, it is also extremely difficult to get into the show, and the admission rate is very low.

"No, I have read all the four books and the five classics." Zheng Hao said.

Zheng Hao heard what Cheng Zhixian meant, and he wanted to test himself.

In this chaotic era at the end of the Ming Dynasty, taking the road of the imperial examination, Zheng Hao thinks that it is useless, time-consuming and laborious, and it is better to use some means to develop his hard power.

However, when Cheng Zhixian asked him, Zheng Hao was also thinking about it, searching his stomach and recalling the memories of the Four Books and Five Classics that he had studied.

He studied ancient literature, and naturally read the Four Books and Five Classics very seriously, and even read a lot of various commentaries and the like.

Now that he thought about it carefully, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the "University", "The Mean", "The Analects", "Mencius", and the poems and books that he had memorized were firmly embedded in his mind as if they were vividly in his mind.

Not only that, but the commentaries on the scriptures and meanings of the great Confucians of the past dynasties that he read are also familiar with them.

In my previous life, I had never memorized these things so well.

It can be seen that this is the emergence of a crossing bonus.

"That's good!" Cheng Zhixian twisted his beard and said, "I'll take you a test, okay?" ”

Sure enough, consider yourself.

Zheng Hao nodded and said, "My lord, please ask the question!" ”

'Hmm!' Zi said: Disciple, if you enter, you will be filial, and if you go out, you will be cautious and faithful, and you will love all of you, and you will be kind. If you have more than enough energy, you will learn the text. Where does this phrase come from? Cheng Zhixian asked with a smile.

Zheng Hao replied without hesitation: "Lord Hui, this sentence comes from the sixth sentence of the Analects of Learning, and before this verse, it is 'Zi said: The country of a thousand times of the Tao, respect things and believe, use sparingly and love people, so that the people can be timely. After this sentence, it is 'Zi Xia said: Virtuous and virtuous; Parents can do their best; The king of things can cause his body; Make friends and keep your word. Although I have not learned, I will say that I have learned. ’”
