After arranging everything, Wu Jie handed Lian Sheng a tael of silver, asked him to buy medicine for his daughter, and asked the innkeeper to find a clean room for the father and daughter.

Even one of the three masters, but he does not have the arrogance of a master. In these years, civilian officials ruled the country. Everything is inferior, only the reading is high, and the status of the warrior and military households is lower than that of the peasants.

Lian Laosan is an honest man, and he got the charcoal in the snow of Wu Festival, and he couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude, and he was grateful for it.

Wu Jie was puzzled by Jin Yiwei's goal at him, and after thinking about it, Jin Yiwei must have come for Yang Zongzhi's book. However, I have nothing to do with this matter at all, but I am implicated, which is really worrying. Therefore, he decided to let Lian Laosan go to date the two of them, and by the way, he would find out.

It's a pity that the next day, even the third child said that Guo Gui and Niu Lichun had official business, as for where to go and what to do, Jinyiwei handled the case, and ordinary people naturally wouldn't know.

In this way, after a few more days, it was time to enter the examination room when I saw that Ming said.

The college examination is the last level of the children's examination, as long as you are admitted by the examiner, you can get the fame of showing talent, enjoy a series of preferential policies of tax exemption and exemption from forced labor, and initially squeeze into the ruling class of the Ming Empire, the mainstream society.

Not only that, as long as he has gained fame, Wu Jie can enter the county school or the government school to be a student. There are six buckets of rice living allowance to be obtained every month, and now Wu Jie has more than 100 taels of silver on his belongings, and he is at least a well-off family in Xinjin County, so he does not have to worry about his life in the next few years. However, after the boys' exam, it was immediately autumn, and then he had to rush to the capital to participate in the Jinshi department.

From Sichuan to Yanjing, it is a long way, and the cost is huge, and I don't know if this more than 100 taels of silver is enough. After being a child, there are no worries, at least psychologically stable.

The relationship is too big, and Wu Jie can't be careless.

If you say that the first two sessions of the children's test can also figure out the tastes of the examiners, and even go some ways. At this level, it is useless to have a human face. After the candidate's paper is completed, the government will find someone else to transcribe it, and then paste the candidate's name with paper, even if the examiner intends to let you go, you don't know whose paper you are reading.

Only after the ranking is arranged, tear off the seal, will you know if you have passed.

For this exam, Wu Jie was determined to succeed and started preparing half a month in advance. Fan Wen alone has prepared two sets, and he can recite them backwards.

But even so, because he was targeted by Jinyiwei, Wu Jie still felt a little messy in his heart.

On the first day before the exam, Wu Jie deliberately did not drink tea, so as not to lose sleep, and went to bed before dark, ready to recuperate. At this time, Lian Laosan came over and said that the two brocade guards had returned to Chengdu, and he had made an appointment with them to have wine in Furong Building, saying that he wanted to pay off their bills.

Wu Jie jumped up from the bed, ignored the moth's obstruction, hurriedly took an ox cart and rushed there, went to the second floor to find a corner tower, and waited for Guo Gui and Niu Lichun.

Furong Lou is very loud when it sounds like a name, but it is actually very ordinary. Although the second floor is a private room, it is only separated by a few screens, and there are no guests upstairs.

I ordered a pot of wine, a plate of cold chicken slices, and a plate of salt peanuts, and I couldn't sit for a moment before I heard the sound of the floor.

Looking out from the gap in the screen, I saw Lian Laosan hunched over Kuai and Niu Lichun and sat on the other side of the screen.

Because there was only a layer of screens, the voices of the three people could be heard clearly.

Lian Laosan asked two Jinyi guards to meet this time, and he had already received Wu Jie's guidance in advance, saying that he wanted to repay the two of them. Niu Lichun and Guo Gui heard that there was money to be gained, and they were pleased.

Even the third child didn't dare to sit down, stood aside and poured two rounds of wine for the two, and then took out five taels of silver from his arms and handed it over, and said carefully: "Brother Condition, Brother Niu, this is your silver." ”

Seeing that there were only five taels, Niu Lichun's face was difficult to look at, and he slapped the table: "Lian San, how can you do this, I remember that you owe us thirty taels." ”

Lian Lao San Ne said: "Two brothers, there is really no way to suffocate a hero with a penny." I've been busy for the past few days to make up this point, and the right is interest. The rest ...... The rest ...... The right to be forgiven a few times. ”

"Look at your cowardly appearance, you also deserve to call yourself a hero?" Niu Lichun still wanted to scold, but he waved his hand: "Forget it, even the third child, since you want to repay the interest first, it can be regarded as a good feeling, this time it is not your care, it doesn't hurt to give you a few days." ”

Even the third child thanked him a few more words, but he still didn't dare to sit down, so he stood next to him.

Besides, Gui and Niu Lichun didn't bother to pay attention to Lian Laosan, an old soldier, and ate and gossiped as if no one was around.

Wu Jie listened to it for a long time, but he didn't get any useful information, so he quietly looked over. The two elders stood aside with a simple face, and kept pouring wine for the two of them.

Wu Jie was almost so angry that he laughed out loud, this guy is so honest, he can't do anything well, I'm really blind.

Unable to bear it, and it was inconvenient to remind this stupid person, Wu Jie only sat next to him, and saw that the sky was gradually darkening.

I don't know how much wine I drank, but both Guigui and Niu Lichun were drunk.

The third elder seemed to have suddenly opened his mind, poured another glass of wine for Guo Gui, and said, "Brother Guo, a few days ago, I went to the guard to look for you, but I didn't find anyone. Otherwise, I will pay you an extra tael of silver. Hey, the little girl's body is too weak, and she gets two or three dollars of silver every day just for medicine. ”

"I mean, your daughter is such a loser. If someone else's daughter is married, she can still get a bride price. You leprosy ghost child, no one wants to put it upside down. When you heard that you had a tael of silver, she was unhappy and snorted.

"I don't know where Brother Guo went?"

"It's not far, it's in Xinjin, hey, fuck, I knew I was back two days earlier." Niu Lichun was also very annoyed: "It hurt our brother to stay in Xinjin for two days, and he put a lot of money into the house." Thousands of households have been in a bad mood lately, and they don't know when they will be able to write off their accounts. ”

Hearing that they had gone to Xinjin, Wu Jie, who was hiding on the side, was shocked and immediately pricked up his ears.

"What are you anxious about, when the case is handled, with the wealth of the Tang family, our brothers can stretch out their hands casually, and it will be enough to eat for a lifetime. If you handle a case, you have to handle this kind of big case. ”

Probably speaking of Xingtou, the two of them couldn't care about even the third child beside them.

"It's expensive, it's easy to say. Indeed, the Tang family has oil and water, but thousands of sons are sick like that, and he probably doesn't have the heart to solve this case. Niu Lichun looked around, with a look of fear: "It's expensive, let's talk about this matter privately, you say, is the precious son of thousands of households suffering from smallpox?" ”

Guo Gui: "It's not for sure, it's said that they are all quarantined." Thousands of households have not been pleasing to anyone for a while, and several brothers have been beaten by him. Also, the Lang Zhong invited by Lord Qianhu is the Gu doctor in Shawan, Beimen, who was all broken by Qianhu, and he couldn't get out of bed for half a year. It is estimated that it can't cure the disease and annoys the adults. ”

"That's it, it's definitely smallpox." Niu Lichun took a breath of cold air and muttered in a low voice: "Damn, I've been very tight lately, and I haven't gotten back the money I put out, which is a little difficult." I thought that after handling this case, I could make a fortune, but I didn't want to encounter such a bad thing. It seems that the only son of thousands of households will not survive this time. The next funeral or something, it will take more than half a month...... I can't make it through, hey, what's going on? ”

"Niu Lichun, don't worry, in my opinion, this case is clear, whether to arrest someone or not, when to arrest it, you have to have the final say. Perhaps, these two days are about to start. ”

"So scary?" Looking through the gap in the screen, Wu Jie saw Niu Lichun's body tremble, and his face changed color: "Yang Zongzhi is just a scholar with no fame, although he is very famous, he won't make such a big move." ”
