Chapter 170: Candidates for the Entrance Examination

A whole summer, in a blink of an eye, although this summer is hotter than in previous years, but it is very happy and comfortable with Diancui.

Due to the heat, Guozijian took a break several times one after another, and each time he rested, the six righteous brothers and Gu Guangyao all returned to live at home.

Wu is an extremely generous and hearty person, although the third master is not good at talking, but he is always willing to talk about poetry and books with a few descendants. Especially Brother Heng, now that his relationship with his own family is different, he is more and more pleasing to the eye.

It's only been more than a year, and the third master of Gui has never been very kind to see him, Yuan Zhiheng has become more and more respectful, calm, and polite in front of this prospective father-in-law, and has hidden all those unruliness and madness.

I'm afraid that I will delay the study and hard work of several brothers, so Dian Cui will not bother much except for sending food and occasionally boating and fishing with them.

In addition to his own yard, there are only four or five places to go every day.

The old lady now admonishes her less, and at breakfast, she will secretly instruct the small kitchen to make a few dishes that she loves to eat. Every time Diancui notices it, she doesn't hide her happiness, and she even has to open her mouth to order a few things she wants to eat, and her grandmother will eat it tomorrow.

She is so faceless and skinless, not to mention that the old lady is used to it, and the maids and women around her are also common, even if the old lady scolds her and says that she loves to eat or not, there are not a few things you want. A few subordinates were also free, and the second person brought them up in the morning, and asked the young lady to have a good time. The old lady scolded them on her face, but everyone knew that the old lady was actually conniving at the young lady in her heart.

People say that old children and old children, Diancui goes to a total of four or five places a day, and they have to coax two old children.

If you say that she has an awkward temperament, the old lady is no more awkward than Guo Lao, but fortunately, she can handle it.

Guo Lao is now incapacitated, but especially clean, before Dian Cui and the maid he found, he couldn't help but serve outside the yard, and now he has entered the house to serve food and clothing, Dian Cui is afraid that she can't take care of it alone, and picked a few young and strong daughters-in-law.

Guo Lao picked his nose and eyes, and finally picked out the two of them. These three people are quick with their hands and feet, and their temperaments are also calm, which can be regarded as Guo Lao's satisfaction.

In the summer, it was difficult, but Guo Lao was in a good mood, for no other reason, it was because of Diancui and Yuan Zhiheng who got married, although the title has not changed, that Yuan Zhiheng is no longer her rightful master. Now the only master of Diancui is his Lao Guo.

This little thing is enough for him to be happy for a long time.

"It's a pity that I can't do it, I'm afraid I can't wait for you to marry that Yuan boy, hey!" Guo Lao sighed: "When I left the palace, I still brought some top-secret solitary books, which were the secret books of the concubines in the harem, but unfortunately I was seriously injured at that time, and the burden was robbed by the gangsters." It's a pity, it's a pity! Knowing this, he said that those secret books were deposited in the money bank together with the silver bills. ”

A little embarrassed, where did someone deposit that kind of book in the money bank, the gangster was also unlucky, it was easy to grab it, go back and take a look, but it was a bag of lonely spring / palace that made people red-faced, and I don't know what to think.

"That gangster is dumbfounded, he definitely didn't expect to grab a bag of spring/palace from the hands of me, a eunuch!" After Guo Lao finished speaking, he laughed again.

"If you rob it, you will rob it, and it's not a silver ticket......" Dian Cui muttered.

"What do you know, now that I think that thing is worth more than a silver ticket, if I leave it to you, I'm not afraid that Yuan kid won't be obsessed with obeying you!" It turns out that Guo always has such thoughts.

Diancui sneered, the foxy methods she would have in her previous life were no less than those in the secret book, but what was the use? An Peiqing still didn't regard himself as a human being, and finally died tragically in Zhuangzi early.

"Hey, you kid, if someone else hears this, even if you are not really shy, you have to pretend to be coquettish and timid, you are good, there is no reaction at all. What an idiot! Guo Lao hated the iron and scolded: "It's just a little bit of wood here in the master's place, and in the future in Yuan Xiaozi's place, you can live a little more joyful and playful, those men love that mouthful, if Mu Mu is not the slightest love/interest, people might as well marry a salted fish and go back!" ”

Guo Lao's side of his body was no longer able to move, and he only stretched out one arm, and the orchid finger pointed at Diancui's head fiercely, and reprimanded him with hatred that iron is not steel.

"Master, don't worry, I'm happy!" Dian Cui was afraid of dodging him, and he didn't dare to dodge, so he had to suffer this orchid finger.

"Tell me, how do you live a happy life?" Guo Lao's eyes lit up, and he looked at himself expectantly, this may not be too helpless to save the closed disciple.

How do you live a happy life? Diancui tilted his head sideways and thought hard, and said:

"I'll take him to pick up wild duck eggs, and I'll also take him to dig lotus roots!"

"You...... With such a stupidity as you, if you don't have our family, you won't have any bones left to be bullied by Yuan Zhiheng's little fox! Guo Lao was so angry that he simply turned over, facing the wall, and refused to take care of some cui anymore.

Dian Cui was kicked out, but he was not annoyed, Guo Lao was anxious, and he couldn't tell him clearly for a while, and when he was angry, he would help Yuan Zhiheng say something good in front of him.

Although Yuan Zhiheng is a little different from ordinary men, he will never bully himself when he bullies anyone. This point, Dian Cui clearly understands in his heart.

The days on Diancui's side are busy day by day, but the Guozijian side is not calm, and it can even be said that the dark tide is surging.

"Fourth brother, the list of the person who will be tested this time has not yet been determined, if we make another effort, with your knowledge, we should not be selected." Li Sang said softly.

In the Guozi Prison, although the acacia flowers have fallen, the branches and leaves are still luxuriant. After Dian Cui sent them a meal, he returned, and after a few people had eaten, they discussed here.

"On the student's side, I and the eldest brother will take the lead, as long as the big guy has a high voice, I am not afraid of his personal vendetta against the wine sacrifice." Qin Juren is a representative of the students in the south, and Li Sang has the support of the poor students.

"A few teaching assistants and doctors, the second brother still needs to bother." Li Sang turned his head to Assistant Teacher Tang and said.

"Big brother doesn't need to say much about this, I'll do my best." Assistant Teacher Tang began to act as Yuan Zhiheng's selection as early as a few days ago, not only lobbied the assistant professor and doctor of Guozijian, but he also went to ask his father and brother at home, but unfortunately his father and brother have never paid much attention to him as a concubine, let alone to support/support him, and he will not say the grievances in front of several righteous brothers.

"Among the students, there are not a few sons and brothers in the capital, but most of them are from the Luo Jing faction, and most of the rest are only the sons of Yunqing, and there are only a few who are good friends with me, but I will try my best to fight for it. As for being in the court, my father also agreed to deal with the fourth brother. "Although the power of Gongzi Yue's family is not as strong as that of Luo Jing and Yunqing Gongzi, he can be regarded as famous in the entire Guozijian.

"Whether it is in the prison of the country or in the DPRK and China, all the baggage needed for circling and lobbying will be returned home by me." Gui Bonian said slowly.

Yuan Zhiheng was grateful in his heart, and stepped forward to take a deep look. He had suffered a lot since he was a child and became cold-hearted, except for Dian Cui, no one else allowed him to go sincerely. But since he met a few people to the end of his knees, his heart can no longer be cold, the ties have become more and more, and his life has not been so bleak and lonely.

Several people went separately, and returned to Bonian to go home to raise money, Wu listened to him, and without saying a word, he generously allocated three thousand taels to him.

Originally, everyone hid this matter from Diancui, but they didn't know how she knew, so they secretly thought about how to help Yuan Zhiheng.

It just so happened that Lu Man came to look for her, and Diancui politely mentioned it. Lu Man immediately understood, and without saying a word, he promised to pay attention to it.

This matter involves a few people above the Guozi Prison, although Qu Huashang is not very good friends with her, but the circle of nobles in the capital is so big, and there are even more people who can play together when they are almost old.

Qu Huashang prides herself on not losing to men, Qu Sacrifice Wine is also extremely pampered with her, some things are not hidden from her, and this Qu Huashang is a person who can't hide words, although Lu Man doesn't like to play with her very much, but this time he is willing to go around often and listen to some useful things to help a little Cui.

The girl's family is like this, whether to deal with it or not, whether you like it or not, as long as you look at each other, you can clearly understand it in two sentences. Moreover, Diancui's brother Gui Bonian is another extraordinary existence for Lu Man.

The few days when the brothers worked together for Yuan Zhiheng's affairs can be regarded as basically successful.

"Fourth brother, don't worry, although Qu Xijiu is in charge of our country's eunuch, he can't be a monopoly, and a few of our doctors and teaching assistants are quite respectable. If there is only one extra place left in this year's examination, they will definitely recommend you. ”

Assistant Professor Tang persuaded those doctors and teaching assistants that it was not very difficult, only because Yuan Zhiheng was really good at learning his mind every day, and almost every doctoral assistant who taught him was full of praise for him, and everyone thought that if he didn't become one of them, he really shouldn't be.

"Jiangnan students and poor students are also willing to help, it seems that the fourth brother can enter this place this time is inevitable!" Li Sang said with a smile.

"You can't take it lightly, after all, the decision of the Qu sacrifice wine still accounts for the majority, and the fourth brother can't take it lightly this time." It was the first time that Gongzi Yue was so preoccupied, Qu Saijiu had always been stubborn, and he had listened to some words among the students in the capital in the past few days, and that Yunqing Gongzi was actually going around to participate in this year's examination.

Originally, it was held once every three years, scheduled for the spring, but unfortunately last year, a fraud case was tried out, and the case involved a wide range of people, and the trial was not concluded until the end of spring this year. Nowadays, the courtiers in the country are all old ministers, and there have been no outstanding young talents in the past few years. This year is the second year, and the ceremony is scheduled to be held in the autumn without any further delay. Those people have been waiting for a year before, and this year there will be another scientific expedition.

The number of places to participate in the examination is limited, and some young newcomers this year have no foundation and no recommendation, so they have to wait for the next year, and if they don't succeed, they will have to wait for another three years.

Originally, according to the family background of Yunqing Gongzi, he could easily enter this place, but he himself didn't care about it and didn't ask for reference. Who knew that he heard out of nowhere that Yuan Zhiheng was trying his best to get this place, so he came to the spirit and had to fight with Yuan Zhiheng.

This is to blame others, except for the time when Yuan Zhiheng was in the limelight in front of Erlang Temple, there was no one among the leaders, on weekdays in the Guozi Prison, Yuan Zhiheng was still arrogant and flamboyant, although he would not take the initiative to offend people, but his high-spirited appearance was also excellent, but it was not as good as his young people, but it was very eye-catching.
