Xu Fan's group of people enjoyed the flowers and ate wine in the flower hall, which was a copy of Xu Jie's friends a few days ago.

Xu Yuanzuo went in to take a look and saw Xu Fan sitting in the main seat, but there was an inconspicuous young scholar sitting in the position of the guest of honor, above Mr. Zhong Jia.

"Yuanzuo, I heard that your mother and sister are here?" Xu Fan asked Xu Yuanzuo to sit very naturally, as if he was a familiar friend. When the others saw that he was young, they also looked at him with great interest.

Xu Yuanzuo didn't squirm, and responded: "It's a matter of the draft, my mother doesn't want my sister to be selected, but my father wants my sister to enter the palace, so I took refuge." ”

The young scholar sitting on the seat of the guest of honor took over the conversation and said angrily: "It is really hateful to cause trouble and disturb people's livelihood!" It was rude for him to interject at this time, which showed that he was angry in his heart, and he couldn't wait to vomit depression.

Xu Yuanzuo looked at the scholar and pondered his identity in his heart.

This person has a strong scholarly atmosphere, but he has no graceful atmosphere, and he is obviously not the son of a wealthy family. He has Xu Fan's respect, and he can make the confident Mr. Zhongjia willing to be in the lower position, if this person is not a scholar and a talented man, he is a person in the officialdom. Seeing that he is only thirty years old, he is called a "vertical castration" when he speaks, and he has obviously not been polished by officialdom.

"What the old parents said is very true." Xu Yuanzuo said.

Xu Fan's face was surprised: "I haven't introduced it yet, how do you know?" ”

The "old parents" who were less than thirty were also surprised: "Have you seen this official? ”

Xu Yuanzuo hurriedly saluted and said: "The old parents have outstanding temperament, and they are anxious to be anxious about the people, and the little ones are also lucky to guess." Under the rule of the grass people Xu Yuanzuo, the little man in the Xu Mansion, to meet the old parents. ”

"No courtesy, no courtesy." The young county lord stretched out his hand to help: "I came here in casual clothes today, regardless of the number of officialdom etiquette." ”

Xu Fan pointed at Xu Yuanzuo and said to Huating Zhixian: "Brother Lefeng, I said this son is interesting, right?" Mr. He was also happy to see the hunt that day. He smiled at Xu Yuanzuo again: "You can talk to our Baili Hou." Your father came to ask for someone, and my family couldn't stop it, but this county lord could do it. ”

Le Feng is the word of Zheng Yue of Huating Zhixian County. He smiled and said: "It is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, so it is better to hope that he will not be found." ”

Xu Yuanzuo said: "I'm not worried about my sister's entry into the palace. One is that she is really sorry for her appearance, and the other is that Zhang Jinchao is not good. ”

Mr. Na Zhongjia knocked on the folding fan and wondered, "What do you mean to look sorry?" ”

"I'm sorry for the disrespect."

The crowd burst into laughter.

Xu Fan panted with laughter, and said, "You have a very good way of arranging your own sister." ”

Zheng Yue was interested in the second half of the sentence and said, "How do you know that Zhang Jinchao is not good?" ”

"Because it's not the time." Xu Yuanzuo said: "Regardless of whether the heavenly family really wants to draft a girl, but now at this time, there is a lot of noise in Jiangnan Lake, and the streets are known and heard, which is simply stupid." ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. Zheng Yue sat forward, intrigued.

"Jiangnan is the silver field of the imperial court, and Huguang is the grain field of the imperial court, both of which are the most important places. October to winter is the crucial time for the collection of the deportation tax. He made such a disturbance to the people in a critical place at a critical time, and the court would never let him go. Xu Yuanzuo said: "What's more, what Zhang Xianggong cares about most in power is the amount of taxes. He is dead. ”

Although Zheng Yue is a magistrate, he can read the Di newspaper, and nodded: "It's good to have such knowledge." Are you a child in this county? He saw that Xu Yuanzuo was young, and he was a partner in the Xu family, and he didn't wear a scarf, so he was definitely not a student. But this son has an extraordinary export and has a bearing, and it is very likely that he has participated in the county test and tried to be a child.

"The boy is poor, drops out of school to work, and is not a child." Xu Yuanzuo replied.

Zheng Yue was stunned, looked at Xu Fan, obviously a little unconvinced, and said: "I only heard about the land of talents in Jiangnan, but I didn't expect to see eloquence like this, and even a child, isn't it?" ”

Xu Fan just laughed, but listened to Mr. Zhong Jia on the side and said: "The old parents don't know that there is a most unique strange thing in my Songjiang Mansion." ”

Zheng Yue looked over and waited for him to explain.

Mr. Zhong Jia opened the folding fan and said with a smile: "It is better to release the capital roads of the whole country, prefectures and counties, and it is the most difficult to take the government, so it is called the government pass." But not Matsue. ”

Xu Yuan Zuorao is known as a liberal arts tyrant, and he has read a lot of notes in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and he has heard nicknames such as "Fangpan" and "Futori". Only based on the context speculation, Fang Pan should be the first pass of the children's test "county test". The government is naturally the second level of the "government test".

"My Songjiang culture and education are prosperous, and every family recites it, even the children of the township can join the society to study." Mr. Zhong Jia said, glancing at Xu Yuanzuo, as if he was taking him as an example.

Xu Yuanzuo nodded slightly. He didn't know anything else, but he only said that Zhu Li, basically every child could go to the school to read and write, but there were very few people who gave lectures.

"There are more than 2,000 Mengtong children in Shanghai County, and nearly 3,000 in Huating County, but the number of places taken in the county examination is the norm, no less than 60, no more than 70. Old parents, look at it, 70 out of 3,000 people, but it's easy to take? Zhong Jia said with a smile: "It is difficult for foreign governments to get it, because there are only about 100 places in the government, and there are more than ten counties in one government, and seven or eight counties at the least, so it is difficult to get them." And Songjiang only has two counties, so as long as the county test is passed, the government takes things. ”

Zheng Yue's face was stern, and he said, "Sure enough, the customs are different. "Culture and education are second only to the important assessment indicators of the county, and the county is a network resource that cannot be underestimated, so Zheng Yue has to think about it.

Xu Yuanzuo listened to what Mr. Zhong Jia said, and felt more and more about the difficulty of the imperial examination at this time, and said secretly: The county examination only has a rate of 12 percent, and if it can't attract the attention of the county, it really has to be lucky.

And so on, the county test is presided over by the county, and sometimes the county can even interview the middle school children without looking at the papers.

Xu Yuanzuo vaguely guessed why the eldest young master called him.

This is to pave the way for him!

Xu Yuanzuo glanced at Xu Fan with gratitude, and saw that he was looking at him with a smile, knowing that what he expected was not bad, his heart moved.

If you pass the county test, the government will take two-thirds, and your own efforts may not fall into the bottom third. As for the Dao Examination (College Examination) after the prefectural examination, some people say that it is only the rank of the third-class students, and the quota is rarely dropped, so it is even more acceptable.

Zheng Yue obviously understood what Xu Fan meant, and said, "Yuan Zuo is early, you can give it a try next year." ”

Xu Yuanzuo immediately thanked him and said: "The old parents are wrongly loved, and the kid dares not to work!" ”

Zheng Yue said with a smile: "I also want to relax the quota next year, and I can't let the mansion be unrecorded." ”

Mr. Zhong Jia said with a smile: "If the old parents are like this, I am afraid that how many families in Huating County will set up an immortal tablet for you!" ”

Zheng Yue shook his head and said, "How can you afford it?" On either side, they just want to do something practical to benefit the people. ”

Xu Yuanzuo had a good impression of Zheng Yue when he heard this, and then thought that the first term of the county magistrate was only three years, and a person like Zheng Yue who came to be a guest of the Xu Mansion would definitely be promoted next. Then I have to urge my younger brother Xu Liangzuo, it is best to try the county in the hands of this Zheng Zhixian.
