083: Lobbying!
The same rice raises a hundred kinds of people.
Cheng Qing's family was in trouble, some people wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, some people stood by and watched, and some people looked at jokes coldly.
There are also a few people who really want to help Cheng Qing, such as He Laowai, who likes Cheng Qing very much...... But this kind of big case that has attracted the attention of the whole court is beyond the strength of He Laoren!
All he could do was send some food.
The He family was not involved in the case of disaster silver embezzlement, and the old man He had a clear conscience, and he sent things only because he admired Cheng Qing.
As soon as the envoy of Dali Temple arrived, Old Man He couldn't send anything to help Cheng Qing's family.
The old man sighed at home all day long:
"Cheng Xiaolang is a promising, but it's a pity that ......"
He Wan silently picked up the second half of the sentence in her heart: It's a pity that her life is not good, and she completely broke her future before she waited for the day of her blockbuster.
He Wan suspected that Old Man He deliberately matched her with [Biqu Island] Cheng Qing, and because of this speculation, Cheng Qing was very awkward, and tried to find fault with Cheng Qing.
Short and not handsome...... It's always easy to find fault with a person.
But Cheng Qing is quick and wise and acts magnificently, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, He Wan remembered Cheng Qing.
It is impossible to say that she likes the other party because of Cheng Qing's quick wit, but she doesn't hate it.
Not to mention whether she wants to marry the other party or not, Cheng Qing's Xiaolang also deserves the opportunity to show her talents.
Just like her grandfather said, it's really a pity that she was admitted to Nanyi Academy!
"Grandpa, does the court really ask Cheng Qing's family?"
He Lao Yuanwai shook his head, "It's hard to say, looking at the current situation, the result will not be too good, even if the imperial court does not pursue Cheng Qing and his family, his own future will definitely be ruined, and the son of a criminal official will not be allowed to participate in the scientific examination." ”
He Wan was speechless for a while.
The women and children of Dawei all know that scientific examination is the only right way.
The saying of "360 lines, the champion of the line" is self-comforting, and nothing can compare to the champion of the imperial examination.
Letting a person whose ancestors have been officials for generations go into business is really insulting to his ancestors, and he has fallen from a gentry to a merchant, which is nothing to promising.
I heard that Cheng Qing worked extremely hard in Nanyi Academy, and he made progress in every exam, so how sad would Cheng Qing be if he didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the scientific examination?
He Wan muttered, "What if the imperial court finally decides that Master Cheng is not guilty? ”
"Wan Niang, this may be too small-"
He didn't want to hit his granddaughter, but that's the way it is.
He Wan refused to give up, "Who knows when the court will make a judgment, last year's case has not been concluded until this year, and if the judgment documents are not handed down for a day, Cheng Qing will be detained for a day, what is the reason?" Lock him up for five years, ten years, and release him from a vigorous teenager to a lifeless youth, and his future will be ruined! ”
Future?
The future is given by the Son of Heaven, and all the Jinshi are called 'protégés of the Son of Heaven', and it was Cheng Zhiyuan who betrayed the trust of the Son of Heaven first, and then Cheng Qing lost his qualification for the scientific examination.
He Lao Yuan didn't want to argue with his granddaughter, the little lady in the boudoir was always very naïve, and at this time, someone came to report that there was a Xiao Langjun surnamed Cui at the door who asked to see He Lao Yuanwai.
"Surname Cui?"
He Lao Yuanwai was puzzled, he didn't know anyone surnamed Cui.
“…… He said that he was a student of Nanyi College and a classmate of Cheng Qing. ”
He Wan's eyes lit up: "He must be here for Cheng Qing!" ”
"What can a student do?"
He Lao Yuan said this, but he did not hesitate to agree with Cui Yan.
He Laoyuanwai was the first person Cui Yan visited.
The old man is kind and charitable, and his reputation for righteousness is known throughout Nanyi County, not to mention that since Cheng Qing's family returned to their hometown, Old Man He also showed his appreciation and love for Cheng Qing.
Cui Yan just knew that the He family had also sent things to Yangliu Lane, so he came to the door.
After listening to Cui Yan's 'plan', He Lao Yuanwai frowned:
"Will this work?"
"I'll try it if I can do it, how can I know if I don't try, I just don't know if he wants to help-"
This is really the righteousness and sharpness that only young people have.
Before Old Soldier He spoke, He Wan, who was hiding behind the screen and eavesdropping, was already coughing in a suppressed voice, in order to remind Old Member.
Cui Yan just didn't hear the movement, he was waiting for the answer from Old Member.
He didn't disappoint him, and finally nodded slowly:
"Then try it, the old man has nothing to lose."
Cui Yan walked briskly when he left He Mansion.
This kind of thing is like doing business, the power of a family is too small, so it is necessary to hold together to grow stronger. First go to lobby the merchants who are easy to talk to, increase their own bargaining chips, and then negotiate with the more difficult merchants.
One after another, the more he talks about the end, the more chips he has, and the bigger the chance of winning!
He is the first target.
Master Cheng Wu is the second target.
Cheng Qing's kid is short, not good-looking, and has a good eye for people.
Cheng Qing once said that He Lao Yuanwai was an enthusiastic elder, and He Lao Yuanwai did not disappoint Cui Yan.
Cheng Qing also said that Cheng Wu's husband and wife really pity him in the entire clan.
"Cheng Qing, Cheng Qing, you must be right."
Cui Yan also had a faint pride, his roommate persuaded him to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, he plunged into this whirlpool desperately to get Cheng Qing ashore for what...... Isn't it because Cheng Qing said that everyone else is later, and no one can get close to them!
Therefore, Cheng Qing, this kid, looks at people very well, and he already knew that he Cui Yan values love and righteousness.
Cui Yan put a lot of gold on his face, and rushed to the fifth room with confidence.
The process of him asking to see the fifth master Cheng went smoothly, and the fifth master looked him up and down: "You are not afraid of delaying your county test, is it worth it to run for Cheng Qing like this?" Cheng Qing missed this year's county exam, and he can participate in it next year, but it is a year late, which is nothing compared to his father's case. ”
Cui Yan was excited.
A year late makes a big difference!
Cheng Qing will be fourteen years old this year, and Cheng Qing's eldest sister is eighteen years old, and the second sister and third sister are also sixteen years old.
Therefore, the effect of Cheng Qing's talent in this year's examination is completely different from that of next year's examination.
At the age of eighteen, the husband is older, and at the age of nineteen, he is even older, and the further he goes, the more he can't pick a good condition.
What's more, if Cheng Qing can participate in this year's county test, the state of house arrest will almost collapse, so if it drags on like this, it seems feasible to use the county test to test the attitude of Prefect Yu?
Cui Yan wants to persuade Master Cheng Wu to take care of his clumsiness.
Master Cheng Wu was a little surprised, shrewdness is not in appearance, nor does he look at his background, Cui Yan is really bold!
Turning his head and thinking about it, if he is not bold, how can he be friends with Cheng Qing?
A Cheng Qing, plus Cui Yan in front of him, and Meng Huaijin who had already gone to Beijing to take the exam, these three people actually got together, and they really attracted the same kind -
Cui Yan's method is not very subtle, that is, to pull all the power that can be borrowed onto the boat and petition to force the palace together.
This is the most taboo method for all His Holiness, even if he compromises temporarily, he will make a hard note to the initiator!
