Chen Anbang laughed, "Wujin doesn't have to worry, his martial arts are very strong, my eldest son Chen Qing is his senior brother, listen to him, Wujin has the talent to learn martial arts, the wine Taoist only taught him for one year, he surpassed all the senior brothers, plus he is like a human spirit, the seniors don't have to worry about him." ”

Huangfu Bailing only then thought that Wujin was indeed a little slippery, and he was undoubtedly very strong, he thought too much, and he cared about it, and when he saw that it was not early, he stood up on crutches and smiled: "Okay then!" That's all for today, if you have anything in the future, you can come to me directly. ”

Chen Anbang got up and arched his hand: "The seniors have raised their father and son for many years, the Chen family is grateful, the great kindness of the seniors, please report later!" ”

"Hey! This is also fate, in order to receive the prince of Tianfeng, it is also the honor of our East China Sea Huangfu clan, the master of Chen Island does not have to be polite, and he has left! ”

Huangfu Bailing walked towards the door, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something important, so he turned around and asked: "I almost forgot, but Ming still doesn't know that Lord Chen is his uncle, do you want to ......?"

Chen Anbang understood what Huangfu Bailing meant, he shook his head, "I told Wujin, let him not leak this matter to Weiming for the time being, and I will keep it a strict secret, and it will never affect Weiming's career, please rest assured!" ”

Huangfu Bailing is worried about this matter, if Weiming doesn't come out, it doesn't hurt to know, but since he is going to embark on a career in office, if the court knows that Weiming's uncle is the leader of the Phoenix Society, Weiming not only has a hopeless future, but also has a surname to worry about, so this matter will never be leaked out.

"Then please ask Island Master Chen, you must not disclose this matter, including their life history, and don't tell their brothers for the time being, Tianfeng Gongzi has a last word, but he can know it when he is thirty years old."

"Don't worry, senior, I know it in my heart!"

．．．．．．．．． In the evening, Wu Jin came to the eldest brother's house, the eldest brother's house is very lively at the moment, today the sister-in-law Qi Xinlan's family also came to visit Wei Ming, Qi Xinlan's father Qi Kaifu is a professor of county studies, but also Wei Ming's teacher, his two sons Qi Pei and Qi Sheng are full of learning, Qi Pei is the last Gongjushi, and Wei Ming is the same age, is also preparing to enter Beijing this year to participate in the Jinshi imperial examination, the second son Qi Sheng is a person from the people, last year in the Ming Jing Department, he is two years younger than Wei Ming, now Pinghu County Ya as the director of Cangcao, Wei Ming was ready to recommend him to take over his position as head of Hucao.

In addition to their father and son, Qi Xinlan's mother and two sisters-in-law also arrived, they helped in the kitchen, and there were four nephews and nieces, plus Luo Luo Duoduo, all of whom were about the same age, and the six children played together.

In the room, Wei Ming was half lying on the bed, chatting with his father-in-law, two brothers-in-law and Wu Jin, recuperating at home for two days, plus the medicine was effective, Wei Ming's injury improved significantly, his complexion was also very good, and he was full of energy.

The Qi brothers are all very delicate, Qi Sheng is even weaker, and he speaks softly, he himself wants to enter Beijing to participate in the Jinshi examination.

"I heard that the rules have been changed this year, and those who have been admitted to the Ming Jingke are also eligible to participate in the Jinshi examination, and I also want to go to Beijing to give it a try, after all, the threshold for the Ming Jingshi is too low, and I can only go to the fifth grade as an official, so I think it is not good for my future."

Qi Sheng spoke in a very small voice, and he needed to prick up his ears to hear clearly, and Wu Jin also shook his head secretly, this person is a bit of a sissy, and he doesn't know each other very well, he actually doesn't give face to the eldest brother, can he take over the position of Hu Cao's principal? No wonder Su Hanzhen wanted to interview him, it is estimated that he will not mix well in Pinghu County, but at this time, the eldest brother Qi Pei spoke, his voice was obviously a little thicker than that of his brother, and he was more sensible.

"Second brother, it's not me saying you, you failed to take the tribute exam twice, let alone go to the Jinshi department, the strategy is originally your shortcoming, I think you can be admitted to the Jinshi may have a very small surname, and although the imperial court allows the Ming Jingshi to be admitted to the Jinshi department, the admission quota has not increased, or thirty people, so it doesn't make sense for the court to let go or not, the Jinshi branch is still the world of the tribute scholars, you don't go, listen to Weiming's arrangement."

"How do you know I won't be able to pass the test?"

Qi Sheng muttered a little unhappily, and their father Qi Kaifu next to him smiled and asked Wu Jin, "Wu Jin, don't just laugh, tell me your opinion." ”

Qi Kaifu has taught Wei Ming for more than ten years, he has known Wu Jin for a long time, and even taught Wu Jin to read for a few days, but he really gave up because Wu Jin was stupid, he heard Wei Ming say that Wu Jin went out for a few years and became extremely smart, and he was very surprised in his heart, so he wanted to take the opportunity to test it, can a fool really become smart?

Wei Ming understood what his father-in-law meant, so he smiled at Wu Jin and said: "Wu Jin, my old father-in-law taught you to read for a month. ”

Although Wu Jin was reluctant in his heart, since the eldest brother said it, he was not good at brushing the eldest brother's face, so he got up and bowed deeply to Qi Kaifu, "Boy Wu Jin, thank you for the old man's teachings back then, Wu Jin was stupid and let the old man down." ”

"No disappointment!"

Qi Kaifu stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, without Jin Zhili, it can be seen from this point that it is very different from back then, but he almost burned his beard back then.

"You go on, I'd love to hear your opinion, whether Sheng Er will enter Beijing, or stay here to be the head of Cao."

Wu Jin saw that Qi Kaifu was only in his early fifties, and he was in good spirits, and he heard that he was born as a Jinshi, with clear thinking, and was much stronger than his son, if he was willing to be the head of Hu Cao, it would be good, so he smiled slightly: "I think if Mr. Qi is willing to go out of the mountain, it will be a blessing for Master Su!" ”

"You mean the old man?"

Qi Kaifu smiled dumbly, "Weiming, do you think I can?" ”

Wei Ming had never thought about it here, Wu Jin made this suggestion, he thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but feel excited, with his father-in-law's seniority and prestige in Donghai County, if he was willing to go out of the mountain, it would really be a great help from Master Su, but he didn't express his position immediately, and smiled at Wu Jin: "Wu Jin, you go on." ”

Wu Jin quickly glanced at Qi Kaifu, and saw that he seemed to be joking with himself, but his eyes lit up, which showed that he actually had an intention in his heart, but he was embarrassed to fight with his son, so he had a plan in his heart, and continued to laugh: "Although it is excellent for Second Brother Qi to serve as the head of Hucao, but in the long run, it is still promising to be admitted to the Jinshi Department, I think with the talent and ambition of Second Brother Qi, if you stop at the five grades, it is really a pity, and whether the number of Jinshi admissions will expand this year is still too early to say, I think the imperial court is balanced, if all of them are tribute scholars, and there is no share of the Ming scholars, this will not have face for the imperial court, I personally think that it is likely to expand the number of admissions, of course, we should respect the second brother Qi's own wishes. ”

The eldest Qi Pei glanced at Wu Jin dissatisfied, he understood Wu Jin's thoughts, in order to let his father serve as the head of Hu Cao, he poured [***] soup into his brother, what level his brother was He didn't know? Two consecutive tribute exams have fallen to Sun Shan, and it is purely a fluke to be admitted to the Ming Jing Department, how can he be admitted to the Jinshi, and when he comes back, there is no chance for Hu Cao to be in charge, and the chickens and eggs are beaten, and more importantly, Qi Pei opposes his father's appearance, his father is already in his fifties, and he can still mix in the officialdom for a few years, can't he still see it?

But he couldn't say Wujin, so he said coldly to his brother: "Second brother, don't I know your level?" How can you possibly pass the Jinshi exam? ”

"Big brother, how are you talking about this?"

Qi Sheng's face was gloomy, Wu Jin's words just now spoke to his heart, he felt that although Wu Jin was young, he was far better than his eldest brother who could speak, and what he said was very pertinent, so that he could listen to it, unlike his eldest brother, it was really offensive to speak.

"Why can't I take the test, how do I know if I can't pass the test if I haven't taken the test? I think Wu Jin is right, the imperial court pays attention to balance, since the scope of candidates is expanded, the number of admitted students will definitely expand, I haven't lost my books in the past two years, why don't you give me this opportunity, besides, this is my own business, who can call the shots for me! ”

After he said this sentence firmly, he turned his head and ignored his eldest brother, Qi Kaifu saw that the two sons had a conflict, so he gave Wei Ming a look, meaning to let him make the final decision, Wei Ming understood what his father-in-law meant, but he had already agreed with Su Hanzhen, and this suddenly changed the candidate, will Su Hanzhen have any ideas, he groaned for a while, and it was difficult to answer.

Wu Jin said lightly: "Big brother, Master Su came to me in the morning and told me about Second Brother Qi. ”

Several people in the room were taken aback, and looked at Wujin together, and the Qi father and son couldn't understand that the dignified county assassin deigned to find a seventeen-year-old boy, what is this called? All three had shocked expressions on their faces.

Wei Ming knew it, so he hurriedly asked, "What did Master Su say?" ”

"Master Su said that I will talk to Second Brother Qi tomorrow, and then decide whether to appoint Second Brother Qi as the head of Hucao."

"Is that really what Lord Su said?" Qi Pei asked a little disbelievingly.

"If Brother Qi doesn't believe it, you can ask Master Su yourself."

"Humph! Do I have such a big face? ”

"Okay, don't fight."

Wei Ming stopped the two of them bickering, he understood what Wu Jin meant, that is to say, Su Hanzhen may have transferred Qi Sheng's evaluation, maybe the content of the evaluation made him not very satisfied, so he had to talk about it before deciding, at this moment he decided, and said to them: "You go out first, I want to talk to my father-in-law alone." ”

．．．．．．．． After dinner, the Qi family said goodbye, only Wei Ming and Wu Jin were left in the room, Luo Luo and Duo Duo regarded their uncle as a mountain, climbed up and down on him, Wu Jin played with the two children, and said to Wei Ming with a smile: "Big brother, I think Qi Sheng is not suitable to be the head of Hu Cao, it can be seen from what he says, he is not a good person, and his ability and intelligence are insufficient, Qi Pei is not bad, very shrewd, but he wants to be admitted to the Jinshi, then I recommend Mr. Qi, I think he is more suitable than his son, thirty old Ming Jing, Fifty young jinshi! There are many people who only enter the profession at the age of 50. ”

"Hmm!" Wei Ming nodded, "You did remind me that I talked to my father-in-law later, and he was very willing to do the work for me for a while." ”

Wu Jin shook his head slowly, "Big brother, you don't understand what I really mean. ”
