That day, when Cui Zhi went out of Lord Wei's door, his face was as red as a shrimp fished out of hot water.

Although Master Wei didn't move with her, he put his lips to her ear, Cui Zhi was so frightened by his breathing that he wanted to hide, but he was holding him tightly, and he couldn't run anywhere, he said, "I'm waiting for you in the capital." ”

Wait, wait, why are you so close? But he didn't let her go, he just snorted in her ear for a long time, and Cui Zhi's face was full of heat, and when he saw that his ears were also red, he let her go.

Cui Zhi ran away immediately and never spent time alone with him again. It's scary!

On the day Wei Ming left, Cui Zhi gave him a ride with everyone, and he rode on the horse and didn't forget to turn around and tell her, "Words count." ”

Cui Zhi thought to herself, she didn't say it, he said it himself. But under his eyes, she didn't dare to say that it didn't count, and even said "count, count", before sending this person away, Yuan Da put his arm around her and asked, "What?" What promise was made to Xie Yuan? The big boss tells you that don't give a man a random promise, you will regret wanting to swallow your tongue! ”

Cui Zhi swallowed and foamed, fortunately he just said that before he would try, he let him go to the capital to find him, and wrote her the address of the capital, which is not a difficult promise, right? Cui Zhi covered his liver.

Time is racing in the upcoming August exams.

The examination that was originally held in February was postponed until August, half a year later, and by less than August, the capital was already overcrowded.

There are not many people in Anqiu County who come to take the exam this time, Wu Li is really afraid that he will come back with a fellow jinshi, and he resolutely does not come to take the exam, he is like this, which also makes Wen Chuan and Ge Qing hesitate. Gui Zhiyu didn't force too much, but it was Liu Chunjiang, who failed to pass the exam in previous years, and this time he was on the same line with Wei Ming, while Hao Xiu, who had no ambition for the imperial examination at all, gave the two of them a ride, and after leaving Qingzhou, they turned back.

Liu Chunjiang laughed at him, "Even if you send it, don't you send it to the capital, send it to the capital tribute courtyard?" ”

Hao Xiu waved his hand again and again, "Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, I haven't turned the book in the past three years, forget it!" ”

Wei Ming hugged his fists with him and said goodbye, but saw someone running over quickly, "Songyan? ”

"Xie Yuan'an?"

Since then, Wei Ming has never seen Songyan, Meng Zhongting got married, and he just asked Wu Li to send something over, not wanting to see Songyan now.

Songyan said that the sixth master didn't come, "The sixth master didn't come over two days later, and the third master set off with the third master, and the sixth master saw Xie Yuan in Qingzhou City, and before he could say hello, let the little one come over to see Xie Yuan a ride." ”

Wei Ming said that it was okay, he thought that when he passed by Qingzhou City, he did see the carriage and horse of the Meng family, and he saw that it was the female dependents who were shopping, so he didn't pay much attention, but he didn't expect it to be Meng Zhongting. Wei Ming thought about it again and asked Songyan, "It seems that the sixth master and the sixth grandmother are in harmony with Ming." ”

Wei Ming saw the young woman at that time, dressed brightly, who was not Meng Zhongting's bride?

Song Yan was a little embarrassed, he said yes, "The sixth master respects the sixth grandmother very much. ”

"That'll be fine." Wei Ming smiled and raised his head, no matter what Meng Zhongting did to his wife, as long as it was good, Wei Ming was relieved. In the end, it is a Chumen girl, such a court background, it is true that Meng Zhongting is not a loss.

Songyan took out two more letters, one was the name of Meng Zhongting's father Meng Yuehe, which Wei Ming had also seen before, and the other was the name of Wei Ming's third uncle, Meng Yueqiu.

His third uncle had never been out of office in his previous life, but when it came to the life and death of the Meng family, he tried his best to turn the tide, although he failed to stabilize the situation of the Meng family in the end, but if there was no him, he was afraid that Meng Zhongting would dedicate himself, and he could only save his own life.

Wei Ming carefully accepted these two letters, this is Meng Zhongting's kindness, he thanked Meng Zhongting, "Stay in the capital, and meet again." ”

When Songyan heard this, his eyes lit up. After the incident with Cui Zhi, Meng Zhongting never saw Wei Ming and them again, at most he only saw Wu Li, he always didn't feel good in his heart, let Songyan come, just to see what Wei Ming meant, and now Songyan got Wei Ming's words, and immediately laughed.

"Xie Yuan, rest assured, our sixth master will definitely go to the appointment!"

Wei Ming, Liu Chunjiang, and several other people who went to Beijing to take the examination arrived in the capital on 1 August. This time, the test was held on the nineteenth, twenty-first, and twenty-third, and Wei Ming came a little late. Those students who have a heart will go to the capital in June and try to walk around the officials in the capital to understand the wind direction in Beijing recently.

It seems that Meng Zhongting was originally going to come early, but Meng Yuecheng didn't want him to try, and then there was a big wedding delay, and in July, at the request of his grandfather Yue Qiliu, and the support of the Chu family, Meng Yuecheng nodded and asked him to come to Beijing to try.

In contrast, Wu Tao's son, Wu Qi, entered Beijing in June. Originally, Wu Tao didn't dare to let Wu Qi try it this year, after all, they got this person, and they have been censored and scared half to death. It's more stable to shrink his head and be a man, but Wu Zi'an didn't know that his son was bought, and he finally got his senses, and he wanted to teach him personally, saying that he had to be called into the capital, even if he didn't take the test, he would have to see the world.

Wu Tao's mother and son couldn't be delayed, and Wu Tao was afraid that his son would be stupid and cause trouble, so he had to take his son into Beijing.

How can they be a dominant family in Qingzhou, and when they go to a place like the capital full of nobles and celebrities, they are just ordinary people, Wei Ming's Xie Yuan is a little more eye-catching than them, but the Xie Yuan in Shandong has no way to compare with the Xie Yuan in the west of Jiangsu, Zhejiang. In previous years, six or seven out of ten of the names of this Huihui Yuan were southerners, and they had little to do with northerners.

So Wei Ming didn't have a big bustle here, and he could quietly wait for some little girls to arrive, but because of the hurry, Wei Ming hadn't received Cui Zhi's letter for some time, he was waiting for her to come over, and someone was waiting for him early.

The chief examiner of the Shandong Township Examination, Cen Pu of Dali Temple sent someone to find Wei Ming and asked him to go to the mansion to talk about it.

After Wei Ming's township test, there was no obvious acquaintance, and the Meng family obviously threw out an olive branch, but Wei Ming did not respond, and everyone speculated that he was following Cen Pu, after all, Cen Pu and Meng Yuecheng had different political views, and Wei Ming, who was born in a poor family, could not be helpless, and must have followed the search volume to search for him out of the master Cen Pu.

Cen Pu is not alone in the capital, Wei Ming knows his situation well, just like Meng Yuecheng is Zhang Ge Lao's right-hand man, Cen Pu can face Meng Yuecheng, he must not be Zhang Ge Lao's person, but like Zhang Ge Lao, a capable general of Qin Ge Lao who aims at the position of first assistant.

As soon as Wei Mingfu arrived at Cen Pu's study, he had already seen a painting of flowers and birds hanging on the wall behind Cen Pu's bookcase, and the lower left was covered with Qin Ge's old seal.
