Xie Shen and his entourage came back from Shaoxing in a carriage, and as soon as they entered Yuyao City, they felt that the atmosphere was a little weird. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The once bustling streets are now deserted. Even the shops on the street are mostly closed, and the doors and windows are locked.

Wang Shouwen frowned and said, "Brother Shenxian, what's going on?" Could it be that the people of Jinyiwei turned around and came to Yuyao again? ”

Xie Shen put down the curtain and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't see it." That Qiao Zongqi was not very domineering when he was in Shaoxing Mansion, and he acted very low-key, even if he came to Yuyao, he would not put on such a big formation. ”

In Xie Shen's impression, Jin Yiwei acted extremely low-key, after all, he was doing shady things, and the fewer people who knew the inside story, the better.

"Let's go back to the house first!"

Wang Shouwen was obviously at a loss in his heart, and his expression was quite nervous.

Xie Pi on the side nodded and agreed: "We might as well go to Brother Shouwen's mansion to rest for a while, and ask the servants to go out to inquire about one or two to see what happened." ”

"Well, that's fine."

Xie Shen smiled bitterly and agreed to the proposal of the two.

The carriage rushed on the bluestone pavement, and after a short time, it stopped outside the Wang family's house.

Xie Shen jumped out of the carriage first, and Wang Shouwen, Xiao Lori and Xie Pi jumped down in turn.

At this time, it was noon, but the gate of the Wang family was closed. Wang Shouwen was quite impatient and stepped forward to knock on the door, and after a while, a door slowly opened the door and poked out half of his head.

"Third Young Master?"

"Open the door!"

Wang Shouwen waved his hand, looking quite unhappy.

The man didn't dare to say anything more, and immediately pushed open the door and welcomed the four of them in. As for the carriage driver, he was in a hurry to return to Shaoxing, so he did not follow into the Wang family's mansion.

To Wang Shouwen's surprise, when he was walking to the inner house, Menzi said more: "The eldest young master just returned from Beijing a few days ago, and he is in the study at the moment, do you want to visit the third young master." ”

After Wang Shouren failed in the test, he wrote a letter to Yuyao's family, saying that he would study for three years, but now he suddenly returned to Yuyao, which cannot help but make people suspicious.

Not only Wang Shouwen was a little confused, but Xie Shen was puzzled.

"Brother Shouwen, in that case, let's go and visit Brother Shouren first."

"Hmm."

Wang Shouwen nodded, then turned around and walked along the hand-copying verandah to Wang Shouren's study.

The eldest brother is like a father, and now his father Wang Hua is an official in Beijing, and the real manager of the Wang family is naturally Wang Shouren. Wang Shouren returned to Yuyao, as a younger brother, Wang Shouwen had to go to see him, otherwise he would have no brother and would not tolerate etiquette.

"Ahem, I have to bother this little brother to take this little lady to rest first."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

The man recognized Xie Shen and responded immediately. However, the little Lori looked at Xie Shen with some reluctance, so that the young man was not embarrassed.

"You go and rest for a while, and I'll pick you up later."

After finishing speaking, Xie Shen quickly followed Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi, and hurried along the hand-copying verandah.

After passing through a moon gate and bypassing a wall, the three of them came to Wang Shouren's study.

Wang Shouwen cleared his throat and said with a wry smile: "My eldest brother suddenly rushed back to Yuyao for some reason, you still don't talk for a while, if you have anything to say, I will say hello." ”

After speaking, Wang Shouwen took a step into the study.

On the table in the inner room, Wang Shouren was resting against a stack of books.

Wang Shouwen thought about it for a while, but stepped forward and patted Wang Shouren on the shoulder.

"Big brother, I'm back!"

Wang Shouren woke up in a daze, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and saw Xie Shen and Xie Pi standing behind Wang Shouwen, and said lightly: "You have come back from Shaoxing?" How was the college exam? ”

As soon as he mentioned the college exam, Wang Shouwen patted his chest with pride and said: "This time, the three of us are on the list of the college exam, and we have not disappointed the eldest brother." ”

The three of them have all read the annotation notes written by Wang Shouren, and to a certain extent, they can even be said to be Wang Shouren's "students", and Wang Shouren is naturally very happy to see the "student" college examination on the list.

"By the way, Brother Shen Xian is the first case in this college exam, and he is afraid that he will make a name for himself in the Yuyao Shizi circle after the third level of the exam."

Although the small three yuan is not as big as the township test, the meeting test, and the palace test, it is not so easy to obtain. Wang Shouren himself had never won this honor, so he still admired Xie Shen.

"Needless to say, your ranking is also the last, you should really learn from other people's cautious sons, implicit but not revealing, full of poetry and books but humble and polite."

"Brother Shouren has a good reputation, the kid is just a little luckier to get this little three yuan."

Wang Shouren waved his hand and said, "What does it mean to be lucky?" The reader reads the Confucian scriptures and writes the texts of the ruling world, and if he has not been to a place where people have been, Brother Shen Xian will not be selected by the great master as the head of the case. ”

After a pause, Wang Shouren continued: "After you pass the college examination, you will officially get the qualification of a student, and you can go to the county school to study." But you must not be complacent because of this. It must be known that the road to the imperial examination is long, and getting the fame of Xiucai is just the beginning. After that, you have to study hard in the county school, pass the annual examination and the scientific examination as soon as possible, so that you can represent our Yuyao to participate in the township examination in two years. There will be a test after the township test, and you must not learn to be a brother, and you will lose Jingzhou carelessly. ”

Wang Shouren's words have a hint of self-deprecation, and after experiencing the failure of the test, Wang Shouren must have mixed feelings in his heart.

"By the way, big brother, why did you suddenly return to Yuyao this time, didn't you just send home a book a few days ago saying that you want to go on a study tour?"

didn't want to continue to talk about this matter, so Wang Shouwen scratched his head and changed the topic.

"It's a long story, my father asked me to come back."

Wang Shouren sighed and said: "His Majesty intends to retry Lu Zhongjing's case, and my uncle is afraid that he will be involved." My father told me to come back and clear up the relationship and see if I could save him from prison. However, this matter is a little difficult to do, I heard that the Jinyi guard in the capital has been dispatched, I am afraid that it has now come to the ZJ This time it is the command of the commander Mu Bin and Lord Mu personally gave the order, naturally it is His Majesty's intention. ”

It is up to people to make things happen, but if his family is in trouble and Wang Shouren doesn't try to rescue them, then his conscience will definitely be condemned.

Hearing this, Xie Shenzhi was shocked.

Jin Yiwei?

When he was in Shaoxing, he saw Jinyiwei leave the Lu Mansion with his own eyes, and he only thought that Jinyiwei had something to do with Lu Yuan, and he never thought that Wang Shouren's uncle was also involved in the case of Lu Zhongjing, the salt transportation envoy.

"So, Jin Yiwei really came to Yuyao?"

Wang Shouwen's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief.
