In the provinces, there are also major academies that go to Beijing to take the exam.

Xiuzhu Academy, as one of the top academies in Nanzhili, after so many years of training, there are quite a few people who can come to participate in the examination, Wei Ming has already received news from Ye Lanxiao, saying that he is about to personally bring all the students to Beijing.

After more than a year of absence, when Wei Ming saw Ye Lanxiao again, he almost didn't recognize him.

In the past, Ye Lanxiao looked closed and dull, with a sense of disgust with the world, but now, perhaps because he has stepped out of the haze and is in charge of the academy, the whole person is calm and powerful, and there is a mountain of momentum in his gestures.

When he saw Wei Ming, his eyes lit up, "I'm getting taller and taller, I'm only fifteen years old this year, and some of them are longer, they must be taller than me and other southerners." ”

It is not an exaggeration to say that Wei Ming is the height of a big man in Shandong, and the two laughed and talked about the old days.

Ye Lanxiao came to Beijing this time, and he also had plans to re-enter the office, but he was not in a hurry, there was no suitable person in the Bamboo Academy to replace him, and the situation in the court was unclear, Ye Lanxiao was more concerned about the students of the Bamboo Academy not getting involved in right and wrong.

As he spoke, he mentioned a person, "Mr. Bian who you recommended, I tested him, and he actually has the literary talent of a jinshi!" ”

Wei Ming really didn't expect it, he raised his eyebrows, "It's just that this identity ......"

Ye Lanxiao smiled at him, "What's so difficult about this?" Now when his surname is shi, his single name is a Lu character, Shi Lu is a person's identity, and Mr. Bian has his identity, which can't be said. ”

Wei Ming couldn't help but be surprised, Ye Lanxiao really had some means, and even the identity of the person could be obtained for Bian Xiaoqing, he said, "This is not a trivial matter, you are so sorry for your talents?" ”

Ye Lanxiao laughed, "Cherishing talents is cherishing talents, but I hope that he can stay in the Ye family." ”

As soon as he said this, Wei Ming immediately understood. It seems that there is someone in the Ye family who cherishes talents more than Ye Lanxiao, it is Ye Lanhui! The girl soaked in a poetry book.

Wei Ming smiled, Ye Lanxiao sighed, "Little sister is pampered, it is not easy to have a person who can be seen, although Shi Lu's identity is unknown, but I can see his character, I just hope that he can be smooth from now on." He is the material for learning, and if he can take over the bamboo courtyard from me in a few years, I will be relieved to go out. ”

Such a plan coincided with Shen Pan's plan for himself back then. It's just that Shen Pan couldn't have imagined that the road he had planned for himself back then would come full circle and fall to Bian Xiaoqing, who was almost irrelevant.

Wei Ming was very relieved, and told Ye Lanxiao about the news he heard at Cen Pu, Ye Lanxiao took people to the capital in early July, and there was also an exchange of news, and when he finished speaking, it was late, and Wei Ming rushed back to his residence before the curfew.

The place where he lives is a family he knew when he was in the capital in the past, and now he lives here, and it is also smooth. He left this address for Cui Zhi. Seeing Qian Shuang and Jiao Wen giggling behind the door from a distance, with a happy face, Wei Ming's heart moved, and he walked quickly towards the door.

What could make these two so happy? There must have been some little girl looking for it!

Wei Ming walked faster and faster, he hadn't seen him for two months, he hadn't communicated for most of the month, and he didn't know if this little girl wanted to miss him! That's a conscienceless, whether you miss him or not, it's really hard to say!

He stepped forward in three steps and two steps, "Girl......?" ”

"It's a girl!" As soon as Qian Shuang said this, Wei Ming laughed, and was just about to ask when he came, but he was about to enter the courtyard in a big stride, and he didn't want Qian Shuang to gasp and added, "The girl sent something!" ”

"Send something?!" Wei Ming paused.

Jiao Wen seemed to see that something was wrong, poked Qian Shuang, and said in a low voice, "The girl sent some food, drink, and play to Xie Yuan." ”

"What about her?"

“...... It was said that it would be half a month before it arrived. ”

Wei Ming's feet fell to the ground, and his face sank. In another half a month, it's time to enter!

Sure enough, it's a conscienceless!

*

In Guangxi, it rained for three days in a row.

Cui Zhi counted the days, and it was almost impossible to enter Beijing before the exam. She sighed lightly, and Qian Xiang came over to report, "Girl, Zuo Ye sent a message from there, and it was done." ”

"It's done?!" Cui Zhi immediately got up.

She and Zuo Xun went all the way from Henan to the west and then south to Guangxi, and found that it was too difficult to do business and open up the road, but in Daxing, there was a goods, and the business route was unexpectedly smooth, which was tobacco.

When Cui Zhi was looking for Li Chu in Xuzhou, he found that tobacco was very marketable in the army, and she came to Guangxi with Zuo Xun this time, only to find that tobacco was not only distributed in the army, but also involved in princes and nobles, because this trade route was unexpectedly smooth, and there were always people who reached out to clear the road for tobacco merchants.

Cui Zhi and Zuo Xun discussed it and prepared to start. But now the tobacco market in Daxing is very niche, the goods are in the hands of a fixed few people, and the two of them can't buy and sell in many ways.

Cui Zhi is convinced, she is an honest businessman, Master Zuo is different, people are rich, powerful and people, and they are not afraid of hard work.

Since last night, Master Zuo has gone out with someone, and at the end of today, the news came, "It's done." ”

It didn't take long for Zuo Xun to come back with someone, this master was full of murderous energy, and said to Cui Zhi, "Is it okay?" ”

Cui Zhi said really, "Your Zuo family is really fast!" ”

Zuo Xun smiled, he said that when his eldest brother was here in the past, he was so steady and ruthless, "This is the tradition of the Zuo family." ”

After he finished speaking, Cui Zhi gave him a thumbs up and reminded, "Master Zuo should go and clean it as soon as possible, I think, there will be guests coming to the door soon." ”

Zuo Xun glanced at her and understood what she meant. Covered in blood, he went back to the yard to clean up, and Cui Zhi also went to change into a man's clothes. Now Zuo Xun has grabbed the tobacco field, which means that he has the strength to enter this market and get the entrance ticket, so naturally someone will tell him where the door is.

She changed her clothes here, and sure enough, someone came to the door, and the person who came looked like a steward, saying that there was an invitation from the second master Hong.

The so-called Hong Erye, eighty percent is a pseudonym, but the pseudonym is not a pseudonym, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that this person is the person who controls the tobacco market.

The two soon met this Second Master Hong, Second Master Hong was in his forties, and when he saw Zuo Xun and Cui Zhi at such an age, they were stunned at first, and then laughed again, "It's really a hero from ancient times, what are you robbing this tobacco field for?" Buying and selling tobacco is no ordinary business! ”

When this Second Master Hong spoke, although he was smiling, he trembled three times, which made people uncomfortable.

Cui Zhi didn't say much to him, but said, "What you are for, we will be for, to put it bluntly, no matter what kind of business you do, those who can live there." ”

This Second Master Hong's face turned cold.
