Chapter 222: Snooping
Is it the same as the end of the world?
Hearing this, Liu Quan instantly became interested, he felt that he was miserable enough, could it be that there was something worse than him?
Seeing that the bearded man poured wine for himself, Liu Quan did not refuse again, but raised his glass and said: "May I ask my brother Taizun's surname, and I came here because I was in a hurry to take the exam?" ”
The mustachioed man also raised his glass and said, "Your surname is Wei, and this is the fourth time I have come to take the exam." ”
It turned out that he was really a candidate, and he had to take the exam four times, Liu Quan suddenly wanted to laugh, look at how old this person is over thirty, but he didn't expect that he was not even a child.
"Brother Wei, it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, maybe it can be done this time."
Fortunately, people also invited wine and food, even if Liu Quan was laughing in his heart, he had to be comforted and comforted.
Hearing this, Wei Tong shook his head, "Brother Liu's auspicious words, if it doesn't work this year, I'm afraid I'll have to put down my books." ”
Liu Quan was about to drink this cup of mellow and rich wine, but when he heard him call himself Brother Liu, he asked curiously, "How does Brother Wei know my name?" ”
He didn't seem to say it just now!
Wei Tong said with a smile: "Everyone in the Cangshan Academy, how can Wei not know. ”
When it comes to the Cangshan Academy, Liu Quan finally understands, Song Tian has been in the limelight recently, and even the Cangshan Academy with them is also famous, if this person is in the same inn as them, it is not strange to know his name, but he doesn't seem to have seen it before.
Of course, there are many people in the inn, and it is normal for him to not pay attention to the comings and goings.
Liu Quan was no longer entangled, and clinked glasses with Wei Tong and said: "I'm just a nobody in the Cangshan Academy, and I can't compare with the head of the Pingyang case with the top name." ”
He took the initiative to mention Song Tian, Wei Tong smiled and said: "Brother Liu, why is it that Brother Liu is here, then Song students can have this achievement at the age of fourteen or fifteen, it can be seen that your Cangshan Academy and his party will not be too bad." Don't dare to say anything else, this house test is naturally no problem. ”
When it comes to the government test, Liu Quan is still a little confident, but he said modestly: "The list has not been reported, and everything is not determined." ”
Wei Tong chimed in: "This is also the case. However, there is basically no suspense for the Song students, so it depends on how many they can be ranked this time. ”
Liu Quan also said enviously: "Yes, don't say anything about children, a talent is also proper." ”
He poured another glass of wine, thinking to himself that Song Tian was a half-sized baby, why was it so profitable, could it be that he was really talented, and Wenqu Xing was descended to earth?
Liu Quan couldn't figure it out and shook his head helplessly.
Wei Tong also said: "Brother Liu is right, it's not just as simple as showing talent, I'm afraid that next year's township test will also have something to do." I heard that he can have such a benefit, it is said that he comes from a certain scholarly family, and he has a good teacher and friend as a companion since childhood, so that he can have this ability. ”
A family of scholars?
Liu Quan smiled when he heard this: "That's all nonsense outside. Although Brother Song and his father are a child, they were also born as farmers, and now the family is just doing some business in the town. ”
Song Tian is already quite interested, if he has a good family background, he can't envy others to death.
As soon as he heard the phrase doing business in the town, Wei Tong raised his eyebrows, continued to pour Liu Quan a glass of wine and said, "I didn't expect that he also has a father who is a child, what kind of business does their family do?" Do you have a study? ”
"Hey, no, a cloth storefront, I heard that there are some embroidery girls on hand."
After a few glasses of wine, Liu Quan's face was already flushed, and he told everything he knew.
As soon as Wei Tong heard Buzhuang and Xiuniang, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he no longer talked to Liu Quan, put down the wine cup and turned around and left.
"Huh?"
Liu Quan was stunned, what did he just say?
At that time, after Wei Tong left, he went to find Jiang Zhi overnight.
He'd been wandering around the inn for days, and now he's finally found a chance to complete his mission.
I didn't expect that the Song family actually opened a cloth village, and invited the embroidery girl, so the supply of the Cao family's embroidery building became clear.
Jiang Zhi had already fallen asleep, and when he heard that Wei was coming, he also knew that the matter was very small, so he put on his coat and went to the hall to meet people.
Wei Tong was simple and clear, and told all the news he had found.
Jiang Zhi twisted his eyebrows, "You said that their family runs a cloth village?" ”
Wei Tong nodded, "Big shopkeeper, the father and son of the Song family mentioned that the family lives on land rent, and there is a discrepancy in the information at this time, and the incident must be strange, so it is better to let people go to that town to check." ”
In the past, they didn't know where the father and son were from Pingyang, but now that there is the Cangshan Academy, they can naturally know where the town is.
Jiang Zhi said: "Tomorrow, you will ask people to go to the town to investigate, and if there is anything, you will send news to Linjiang." ”
"Yes."
The next day, the Cangshan Academy and his party left for Qingyun Academy after breakfast.
This time, not only did they students go, but even Master Zhang also handed a post inside.
Since the poetry meeting, the entrance of the academy has not been quiet.
Zhang Fuzi and the students were lining up, and after a while, a young man dressed in the market came forward to ask if he wanted an invitation post, eighty taels and one post.
The invitation was still to be bought, and everyone was so dazed that they almost yelled loudly that the young man was a liar.
At this time, Zhang Fuzi explained.
Those invitations are genuine, of course, but they are released by people who pass but don't intend to go.
Nowadays, this kind of opportunity is very rare for students like them, but naturally there are also people with different aspirations, or they are more interested in money, and it is not new to take out posts for silver.
After listening to it, everyone knew that everything was inferior, only reading was high, as long as you have enough knowledge and ability, you will live a decent and prosperous life.
Listening to Master Zhang's meaning, this post is now eighty taels, and maybe it will rise later.
Eighty taels, think about how long it will take for their parents and relatives to save such a large sum of money when they farm in the village, and a small invitation post here is enough.
For a while, a few people in the team were moved, and it was good to participate in the poetry club to increase their knowledge, and it was very little that they might not be appreciated, and if they could get a post, they would actually take it out and sell it, so that the money for a few more years of reading would be enough to spend.
Several people can't help but fantasize in their hearts, but it's a pity that it's as simple as fantasizing about how to take the post.
Among the more than a dozen students in the Cangshan Academy, in addition to Song Tian and Hu Ke, and Master Zhangzi got the invitation, and the others could only watch.
The post of Qingshan Academy was sent by someone on a special trip, and when Song Tian and Hu Ke got the post, all the upstairs and downstairs cast envious glances, and after a while, someone came to the door to ask if the post was sold.
Song Tian naturally didn't sell it, Hu Ke shook his head after thinking about it.
Although he also wants silver, these things are related to his studies and future, and his vision is not so short-sighted, so he naturally knows the good and the bad.
