Chapter 472: Late
Since this Second Master Hong wants to see Zuo Xun and Cui Zhi, especially after the two robbed the tobacco field, this shows that he is afraid, afraid that two outsiders with unknown circumstances will ruin his affairs.
The more he tried to hold down the two of them, the more they couldn't be pressed by him.
Cui Zhi said this in turn, and while Second Master Hong's face was not good-looking, he also thought a little more.
Zuo Xun was naturally even more polite, and after Cui Zhi's words, this Second Master Hong's face was even more ugly, he hesitated for a while, and said: "The two of you don't know, the tobacco in this area is also divided into three, six, nine, etc., and the second one is sold to the small people of the military households, and the better ones are naturally bought by the officials and nobles, and then go up......
When he said this, Cui Zhi's nerves tightened, "Isn't it...... Entering the palace? ”
Second Master Hong's eyes widened, "How do you know?" ”
Naturally, she guessed, no matter how high the official eunuchs and nobles were, they could only enter the palace, she didn't respond to the question of Second Master Hong, so she asked, "How much time has Second Master Hong been doing this business and then going up?" ”
Second Master Hong looked her up and down, I don't know why this child, who doesn't look very old, is so calm?
He said that it was less than a year, and Cui Zhi tasted it a little when he heard it, and it was not a long time. If the people in the palace really take this kind of thing on a large scale, they will basically start to become addicted in a year, but it is unlikely to take it on a large scale, otherwise they will not take it from Hong Er Ye so vaguely.
She asked Second Master Hong again, but if there were other cigarette merchants who also supplied to the palace, and even asked who to supply, Second Master Hong could only make sure that no one else would supply to the palace again, because the cigarettes in his hand were the best, and he didn't know who to supply.
Cui Zhi and Zuo Xun looked at each other, and the two returned to their accommodation, both faintly excited.
Originally, the two just wanted to open up a trade route, but they didn't want to find such a golden road. They have now robbed the fields under the hands of Hong Erye, although Hong Erye is powerful, but the power of the Zuo family is even stronger, and they have no choice but to cooperate with the two, and this road to the palace is still unclear, and Cui Zhi and Zuo Xun do not dare to act rashly.
Zuo Xun said, "If Cui Dong's family enters Beijing immediately, outside the capital, it is difficult to find out about the affairs of the capital, the tobacco matter is not big, but it is not small, it is better to find out as soon as possible." As for the firearms, they are not yet missing, and I will continue to search for them. ”
Cui Zhi thought about it, and felt that it was appropriate, so he packed up his things that day, and when he left, he persuaded Zuo Xun, "Master Zuo doesn't have to be too tired, in fact, Ling Zun has so many people and family business as you, which is recognized." ”
Zuo Xun just smiled, he nodded to Cui Zhi, Cui Zhi didn't say much, and went north.
*
Sure enough, it was the day to enter the venue, and Wei Ming did not wait for her to enter Beijing, but only received Cui Zhi's third letter of apology.
The letter drew a Pegasus, and drew a capital gate, compared with the previous two apology letters, this one Pegasus has almost arrived at the gate of the capital. Wei Ming was also very speechless, it is estimated that this girl is afraid that he will write badly again, so he replaced it with a painting, but as everyone knows, the painting is even worse.
From the three children's examinations to the township test, Cui Zhi sent Wei Ming into the examination room in front of the door, and now he glanced at the crowd in front of the Gongyuan in the capital, without the chattering girl, he was still a little uncomfortable. Just thinking of the Pegasus who was still outside the city, Wei Ming chuckled lightly and turned around and entered the examination room.
The examiners who will take the exam this year are indeed among the nine Qings mentioned by Cen Pu, but compared with the young and powerful adults, few people thought that Liao Yiguan, the political envoy of today's meeting, would be the main exam.
Liao Yiguan sat and waited for Zhishi from Nanjing Hubu Shangshu, and was suddenly promoted to the post of general political envoy of Sanpin in Beijing, and now his term of office is less than a year, and he is now the chief examiner of the examination.
The chief examiner who was hand-picked by the emperor, which one is not a character recognized by the emperor? It can be seen that this Liao Yiguan boss has not been in the limelight in his life, and when he is old, he will become beautiful.
The candidates took out this article, and everyone in the court thought about it upside down several times.
Could it be that Liao Yiguan wants to enter the cabinet?
At present, there are three elders, the first assistant Wang Ge Lao, who is so old that his ears basically can't hear it, although it is the position of the first assistant, it is just a temporary position, and the other is Zhang Ge Lao and Qin Ge Lao, before the Peng family's accident, Zhang Ge Lao was a second assistant, but after the Peng family's incident, Qin Ge Lao was more stable.
Now if Liao Yiguan enters the cabinet, how should the elders divide the world? After the first assistant Wang Pavilion old Zhishi, who will take the position of the first assistant?
But these have nothing to do with the candidates in the Gongyuan. Wei Ming took the three exams, and he was not as relaxed as before, after all, it was a test, gathering talents from all over the world, he had to show ten percent of his ability, plus what he had heard from Cen Pu and Ye Lanxiao about the chief examiner Liao Yiguan's political thoughts, and answer every question well.
On the last day, Wei Ming did not leave the tribute courtyard until it was dark and the candles were lit. There were big red lanterns hanging high everywhere in front of the Gongyuan Gate, Wei Ming saw that there were servants from various families, or they went with them in the same year, he was looking for Jiao Wen and them, and he didn't want someone wearing a red dress to break into his eyes.
Wei Ming's spirit was shocked, he froze in place, and looked at her quietly, he hadn't seen her for two months, and he had lost a lot of weight. Wei Ming saw her running forward quickly, and the red clothes were as elegant as fire because of the running.
She came to his face, "Lord Wei! ”
Wei Ming looked at her and snorted lightly, "What?" Have you learned to wear red clothes with Master Zuo? ”
"Pounce!" Cui Zhi laughed out loud, "Lord Wei, am I a good omen for you to wear out of the Tribute Academy?" What does it mean to learn from him? What else can you learn from others about wearing clothes? ”
Wei Ming's heart was ironed when he said this, but he still made a straight face, "Why are you so late?" ”
Cui Zhi said, "How can it be late?" After dinner, I waited at the gate of the Gongyuan! You're late, Lord Wei! ”
She deliberately pretended not to understand, how could Wei Ming not see her careful thoughts, he lowered his head slightly and leaned into her ear, "Come so late, you should be punished." ”
Penalize? What is the penalty?! Cui Zhi was taken aback by him, and was about to ask for an explanation, but he pulled his arm. Cui Zhi followed Wei Ming's gaze, and there was another person in front of the Gongyuan Gate, it was Meng Zhongting, who had not seen him for half a year.
Meng Zhongting also saw them, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on Cui Zhi's arm that was pulled by Wei Ming, and then fell back to Cui Zhi's face. He raised his feet and was about to come over, when someone walked quickly past Cui Zhi, seeing that the clothes were a man, but there was a fragrance that only women had on his body.
The man took three steps and two steps in front of Meng Zhongting, and an undisguised female voice came, "Sixth Master, are you good?" ”
Meng Zhongting was shouted by this, so he looked away, "Yunfen, you're here." ”
The woman's voice was very soft, Meng Zhongting looked relaxed in her greeting, and he said, "There are two friends, just to meet." ”
