Mrs. Peng smiled and stopped talking.

So the eldest aunt became more and more unforgiving: "Mrs. Tai also knows, when my third sister was alive, she personally chose the girl Herou to serve Lanting closely, people like us, can you still understand the meaning here?" Cao's mother also asked Mrs. Tai for instructions, and Mrs. Tai gave Herou permission to grow a month's money, this is the person in the house prepared for Lan Ting, but because Lan Ting had not married at that time, she had not crossed the Ming Road for a while, but Gu Niangzi turned her face and denied it, provoked unreasonable trouble, punished and scolded Herou, she was full of the prestige of the eldest grandmother, but where did she put the will of the high hall and the elder? The Taishi Mansion can tolerate such a jealous daughter-in-law, and he is not afraid to laugh and be generous. ”

The old lady finally spoke: "Mother Cao really said that? As far as I know, this is not the case. The day after Brother Ting's daughter-in-law entered Beijing, Cao's mother was anxious to let Herou serve tea. It is reasonable for Brother Ting's daughter-in-law not to accept tea, but she did not say anything that did not recognize the gentleness, as for drinking and scolding and punishing, it is even more exaggerated, although Mother Cao is Brother Ting'er's nursing mother, but acting so impatiently, how can it be the duty of a slave and maid? If Cao's mother really slandered her brother's daughter-in-law in secret, as her uncle and wife said, the Taishifu would not be able to tolerate such an arrogant subordinate. ”

"Mrs. Tai, is this a statement that believes in the Gu family?" The eldest aunt was furious.

"Mrs. Uncle don't be impatient, but don't misunderstand the old lady's meaning and hurt the affection between the in-laws." Mrs. Peng had to round the field.

Her words fell, but she heard a cold voice: "The eldest lord must have already said goodbye and left, and the court does not dare to stay with the eldest lady for a long time, so I would like to send it off here." ”

As soon as he came up, he issued an eviction order, not to mention the eldest aunt, even the old lady was stunned at this time.

"Lan Ting, what are you talking about, I'm dedicated to your good!" After more than ten breaths, the eldest aunt scolded angrily with a sharp voice.

"Spring is coming, the old lady and the eldest lord are worried about the fame of the big man in the house, so that the big man hurried back to discuss with the old lady, thinking that the big lady will also worry about the future of the big man in the house after today, so the private affairs of the court, I really don't dare to distract the big lady."

Spring Return: ......

What does Uncle Zhao mean? How does it sound like a bright threat to his aunt?

This must be an illusion.

But afterwards, Lan Ting personally admitted that the return of Chun was not an illusion: "I am threatening the eldest wife, if I don't restrain and interfere in my family affairs, then the eldest son she hopes for will probably fail to succeed in the school, and he will be ruined first." ”

"But the eldest aunt ......" Chun Gui looked at Lan Ting's expression, and changed his words in time: "I mean the eldest lady, she is an elder after all, and ...... talking like this" is too arrogant."

"Huihui doesn't need to worry about the Zhu family, in my eyes, they are even inferior to passers-by."

Spring Return: !!

How much hatred and resentment is this? Chungui only felt a scratch in his chest, and he was really curious why Lan Ting was so hostile to outsiders, but looking at Lan Ting's expression, it was really difficult to ask, and she wanted to summon the canal, but Lan Ting was present and she couldn't ask, she was really tormented.

Fortunately, Lan Ting's mouth is not a river mussel that can't pry open, and truthfully told Uncle Zhu of Chungui's intention: "The old lady of the mother's family is full of benevolence, righteousness and etiquette, but her secret conduct is despicable, and the descendants of the whole family are also deeply aware of his style, all of them are hypocritical and immoral fake Taoism, Zhu Qingyu is not without ink, and after three years of hard study, he will try to be able to win, but it is simply delusional for the high school club to be at the top of the list, let alone win the crown on the Golden Palace." ”

Chungui was shocked: "Don't you say that they plan to dance? ”

"When the first emperor danced was common, even if the case was discovered, the first emperor would not pursue it, which made the wind of dancing popular, and for a while, people who were full of learning stopped trying, and would rather not enter the career for the rest of their lives than end up, the eldest master also once wrote an article to denounce the people of the dance, but who would have thought that for the sake of fame and fortune, for the prosperity of the Zhu family, now he would also move the mind of the dance?" Lan Ting sneered: "If Zhu Qingyu is really confident, he will not prepare for the exam for three years after the township examination, he doesn't even have the determination to give it a try, which shows that he is not sure that he will be able to get the Jinshi in one fell swoop. ”

In fact, for ordinary Confucian students, as long as they can get in, it is not unacceptable to be a fellow Jinshi, although compared to the official career of a Jinshi, it is tortuous and bumpy, and it is not completely impossible to hold important positions, but the Zhu family has always prided itself on the scholarly fragrance of the generations, and it is absolutely intolerable that the eldest grandson is just from the same Jinshi, but the generation is not as good as the generation, Zhu Qingyu is indeed difficult to guarantee that it will be achieved overnight, and it is more secure to prepare for the exam for a few more years.

"If it weren't for Gong Zhizheng's sudden promotion to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he was internally designated as the president of the next spring examination, it would not have been so important whether I would take the exam with Zhu Qingyu, because Jinshi was not just one of me and him."

Spring return to support the forehead, Uncle Zhao's implication is that he and Cousin Zhu are not at the same level at all, Uncle Zhao's goal is to win the championship, and Cousin Zhu only needs to squeeze into the Jinshi team to be satisfied.

"But

It was precisely because Gong Zhizheng served as the chief examiner that the old lady saw the possibility of the eldest grandson Lianzhong's two yuan, which was enough for the Zhu family in the future, it was enough to shine on the lintel, and there was hope for what he didn't dare to think about, and where could he hold back his greed. Lan Ting snorted coldly.

"But...... Even if Gong Zhizheng is an old lady's confidant, it's not so easy to dance, right? Isn't it in order to put an end to the dance that the system of obfuscation and copying of examination papers has always been implemented? Chungui asked cautiously.

"Hui Hui still knows this?"

"After all, my father had also taken the test, and I didn't know anything about these rules." Chun Gui said with a smile, she really felt that Lan Ting's tone when he mentioned the Zhu family was a little scary.

The little girl must gag to lighten the atmosphere.

"But you only know one thing, these systems have been written as early as the time of Taizu, but the dance is still repeated, such as the time of the first emperor, why did the imperial examination not be vague and let the scribe re-copy the examination papers? However, as long as the transcriptionist is bought, the examiner can still know the test paper of the dancer, and although there is not only one examiner, but the president's opinion is generally the most important, such as Gong Zhizheng, who was transferred to a book by the Hanlin official, and has connections in the Hanlin, and most of the examiners are Hanlin, and his opinion will definitely win the majority support. ”

Lan Ting saw that Chungui looked eager to learn and concentrated, and was in a slightly happier mood, and was happy to explain to her in detail: "When the emperor was the first emperor, he didn't even need to buy the scribe at all, so that some money bribed the invigilator to memorize the two or three sentences on the test paper, and then secretly communicated with the examiner, and the examiner could also 'blindly select' the target candidate. ”

Of course, there is a limit to this way of masking, that is, the dancer should have some real talent and knowledge, and cannot be illiterate who can't read big words.

But in the past, there were indeed people who did not learn and did not know how to take the top prize, and the way used by such people was much more complicated, involving asking someone to take the exam on behalf of them, and even revealing a variety of skills in the exam.

Cousin Zhu is not illiterate, so he doesn't need such complicated skills, he only needs to buy off the examiner, maybe the examiner will personally come forward to coerce and lure the transcriptionist.

After listening to all kinds of dark facts and various ways of dancing, Chun Gui was very worried about Lan Ting: "So as long as Gong Zhizheng is still the president, wouldn't he encounter injustice and give up the title of champion to others?" ”

Bah! That Ministry of Rites Shangshu is the main exam, and he actually dances, and he has a face called "Zhengzheng"? It should really be called "improper" to live up to its name.
