Chapter 277: Retest

After talking about helping Han Jian recruit a son-in-law, Huang Lie asked, "Brother Han came all the way to chase my cousin, where is he staying now?" ”

Han Jian said: "Dongcheng Yamen." ”

"No wonder." Huang Lie smiled and said, "Brother Han seems to be very interesting to my cousin, Brother Han, don't worry, I went back to find out the news, so I will come back to inform Brother Han that what you say this time will also help Brother Han and my cousin promote good things." ”

"I'm tired." Han Jian always felt a little uneasy when he saw Huang Lie's appearance. In the final analysis, Han Jian is a little prejudiced against Huang Lie, Huang Lie is the kind of person who does things without a proper shape, who knows if this kid will temporarily rebel against water, even if he doesn't oppose water, will it be a disadvantage to help?

"Huang Gongzi, I don't know if you have any silver on you?" Parting, Han Jian asked Huang Liedao.

"Silver?" Huang Lie took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and asked, "Is it enough?" ”

Even if he didn't see it very clearly in the dark, Han Jian didn't expect Huang Lie to be so "atmospheric", and the silver tickets were all stacked.

"Thank you." Han Jian was not polite, he took them all directly, not to mention asking where these silver tickets came from, since Huang Lieken "helped", Han Jian would definitely give him this opportunity, so he would laugh at it.

"Brother Han, there is something...... I'd like to ask you for a favor too. Huang Lie suddenly rubbed his hands and said as if he was embarrassed.

"What?" When Han Jian looked at Huang Lie's appearance, he guessed that it was not a good thing.

Huang Lie said seriously: "It's me and Miss Lin...... Oh, that is the Miss Yi, after you hug the beauty...... Can...... Help me to talk and make peace too? ”

Will Yi Die fall in love with Huang Lie? Han Jian thought to himself that these two people were not on the same path at all, even if Yi Die's background was not as prominent as Huang Lie. In Han Jian's opinion, she is also a high-ranking woman, and Huang Lie has no chance.

At this time, Han Jian naturally didn't say anything, and nodded: "It's easy to say." ”

"Then this matter can be left to you, Brother Han." After Huang Lie finished speaking, he seemed to let go of his worries, and did not enter the Dongcheng Yamen, but went directly in the direction of the General's Mansion. The Huang family has a respected status in the Nanwang Mansion, and Huang Lie's return home is not a big deal.

……

……

Han Jian returned to the Dongwang Mansion to continue sleeping, and in the early morning of the second day, the Dongcheng Yamen was still preparing for the second day of the selection of the Nanwang Mansion Zhaojun Horse.

The Dongcheng Yamen seems to be cautious. Actually, they know it. It is impossible for the Chenglong fast son-in-law of the Southern Prince's Mansion to be produced from these people of ordinary origin. Now in the territory of Nanwangfu, there are some young generals and civil servants, and there are also many unmarried people, many of whom are from noble backgrounds. And he is a young junior who is all-round in civil and military affairs. The reason why the Nanwang Mansion will widely publish proclamations to choose sons-in-law. In fact, it is just to create a kind of public opinion. Sue the empress that the king of Nan has already married off his daughter, lest the empress come to the idea of this family affair again. The second is to create an illusion of fair competition, so that the young talents of Nanwangfu think that they all have a chance.

By morning. Erzhu came back after a circle outside, and at this time Han Jian was about to go out and redeem the silver ticket that Huang Lie gave him, after all, he didn't buy large things, and it was useless to put the silver ticket on his body, so it was better to prepare and find a place to officially settle down with Erzhu.

"Brother Han, it's very lively outside, why don't you go out to see?" Erzhu came back with an excited look, Han Jian found out when he was out of Gong before, those candidates who had passed the primary selection had already fiddled with poetry and articles there before the re-examination began, doing a rehearsal for the re-examination.

"Brother Erzhu, maybe we have to move out first." Han Jian said.

"Huh?" Erzhu looked puzzled, "Isn't it good to live in the yamen?" It's not very convenient to go out, but depending on those people, what do you want to do when you want to go out, as long as you take a little care of those bad guys, you can go out. ”

"That's not the problem. Brother Erzhu forgot the purpose of our visit to Yuzhou? Han Jian asked.

Erzhu patted his head and said, "By the way, it's to help Brother Han find your wife." ”

"Hmm." Han Jian said, "Anyway, the retest will be held in the afternoon, so how about we go out and look for Neiko together in the morning?" ”

"This ......" Erzhu thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay." ”

Han Jian took the remaining silver from yesterday to pay the errand, he and Erzhu were able to get out of the gate of the Dongcheng Yamen, Han Jian went out of the Dongcheng Yamen, and directly looked for Qian Zhuang along the way. There are also a lot of money houses in Yuzhou, Han Jian didn't spend much effort to find one, went in and exchanged the silver and came out, Erzhu was simply dumbfounded, Han Jian didn't seem to bring anything when he went in, and he came out with a bag full of silver.

"Brother Han, you ...... Where did you get so much silver? Erzhu asked.

"You take it." Han Jian put the money bag on Erzhu and said, "Lest you put it on me and lose it again." ”

"Huh?" This time, Erzhu didn't respond quickly, mainly because he was worried, afraid that he would lose his money bag.

"You take it, and I don't blame you for losing it." Han Jian stuffed the money bag into Erzhu's arms, looked at the streets, and tried to find the direction of Nanwangfu, no matter what, Han Jian was also ready to find out the reality of Nanwangfu first, even if he couldn't pass the retest in the afternoon, he could go directly to Yang Li'er at night. He was confident that with his martial arts, it would not be difficult to get past the guards of the Southern Palace.

Han Jian inquired all the way about the direction of Nanwangfu, but saw crowds of people in many places on the road, as if something lively had happened.

Taking advantage of Han Jian's time to inquire about the road, the nosy Erzhu had already gone up to ask what those people were doing, and came back and said, "Brother Han, are you interesting?" Those people are betting on who can marry the second lady of Nan Wangye. ”

"Bet?" Han Jian didn't expect that the people in Yuzhou would live so richly, and even gambling would be so prosperous.

Han Jian squeezed forward to take a look, and sure enough, it was some gambling houses in Yuzhou City, in order to catch up with the trend, he opened a market to bet on who could be selected as Yang Li'er's county horse. Han Jian looked at several popular candidates, basically he didn't know him, but the most popular one at the beginning was the eldest son of Huang Lie and Huang who had some "hookups" with him yesterday.

"Brother Han, do you know how to read? This person buys the most, who is he? Erzhu asked with great interest in the name Huang Lie being bet on by many people.

"Huang Lie, do you know each other?"

"Huang Gongju? Recognize him, he is the grandson of General Huang Lao, and he is also General Huang Xiao of Yuzhou. Erzhu said excitedly when he heard this, "When I joined the army, I followed General Huang Lao, although I was only a patrolman, but when General Huang Lao came down to inspect, I also glanced at his old man." It is difficult for General Huang to be capable. ”

Han Jian really wanted to say that his grandfather was a capable person, but it didn't mean that his grandson was also capable. Huang Lie was born with a golden key, and what martial arts he learned was sparse and ordinary, but he was full of sloppiness. Fortunately, Huang Lie is quite down-to-earth and sincere, otherwise Han Jian simply couldn't find any merit from Huang Lie.

"Brother Han, since General Huang Xiao is going to be elected as the second lady's father-in-law, I don't think we have much chance." Erzhu said to Han Jian.

"What, you threw in the towel before you started?" Han Jian said, "Some things don't come to the end, but it's not sure who wins." ”

Erzhu looked disapproving, in his opinion, the second lady of Nanwangfu is a fairy-like character, and fairy-like characters will look at ordinary people like them?

Han Jian inquired about the exact location of the Nanwang Mansion and went to the outside of the Nanwang Mansion to check the situation in person. Han Jian asked Erzhu to wait on the side, and he walked around the Nanwang Mansion before coming back, although the Nanwang Mansion was not as big as the palace, it was much higher than the lintel of the Dongwang Mansion, and the land boundary was also very wide, and it took three or four miles to walk just one circle.

"Brother Han, didn't you say you were going to find your lady? How did you come to Nanwangfu? Seeing Han Jian coming back, Erzhu was also a little anxious to wait, and said, "Nanwangfu is not a place for us to come casually, if those soldiers think we are suspicious, maybe they will come over and take us down." ”

"It doesn't matter. Let's go back. Han Jian said.

Erzhu was a little surprised: "Just go back like this?" The lady of the Han brothers......"

"The first hour is almost over, let's go back to the Dongcheng Yamen first, and there will be a retest in the afternoon, let's pass the retest first."

Han Jian said that he had already taken a step, and Erzhu was a little inexplicable, but he felt that Han Jian seemed to be doing something very important. He didn't ask any more, but honestly followed Han Fitness, and the two returned to Dongcheng Yamen together.

"I'm back in a hurry, just in time for dinner." Erzhu said happily when he learned that the meal was open.

Han Jian didn't expect Erzhu to be so easy to satisfy, seeing that Erzhu was already a man in his thirties, he seemed to be very assertive, but in fact, he was very casual, and he was simply a man to the point of not pursuing. Han Jian thought to himself, since he asked Erzhu to help along the way, he naturally couldn't treat Erzhu badly, even if he brought him back to Dongwangfu and made him a petty officer, he would be worthy of Erzhu.

After lunch, a few people wearing official uniforms came to the yamen in Dongcheng, and as soon as they came, they asked the yacha to convene the people who had passed the primary election to get together, and the "Yuzhou talents" who had passed the primary election in two days added up to two or three hundred people, many of whom were children of large families, and it was just a chance to choose a son-in-law. In their opinion, if they want to be the fast son-in-law of the dragon in the Nanwang Mansion and the "county horse" that everyone envies, it mainly depends on whether the Nanwang can be eye-catching, and the others are all for nothing. Everyone will think that maybe they are the one who will be looked at by the king of the south, and then they will be able to carp and jump into the dragon gate.

When the officials gathered everyone together, the first thing they did was to take the re-examination. And the first item of the re-examination is not complicated, there are two stone piers in the backyard of the Dongcheng Yamen, each stone pier is almost fifty or sixty pounds, and the first item of the re-examination is to let all those who have passed the primary selection lift the two stone piers at the same time.

This was a source of embarrassment for those present. Most of those who passed the primary election were made of silver during the primary election, and even if they passed the test by their own ability, most of them just made a poem and passed the test by casually saying that they knew martial arts.

Now that you want to take the real test, many people are talking about it, thinking that this assessment is very unreasonable.

"It looks like it's heavy." Erzhu glanced at the stone pier in front of him and said to Han Jian.

Han Jian glanced at Erzhu with a smile, he had known Erzhu for a few days, and he hadn't seen Erzhu's strength yet. (To be continued......)
