Chapter 73: The first case of the government examination
"Meng's case?" Wei Ming hadn't heard Cui Zhi say that he had seen Meng Zhongting, "When did you meet this person?" ”
Cui Zhi said that he and Duan Wanquan had deceived Tao Ping, "...... I looked at the Mengzhong Pavilion Mansion, and maybe, I can really point out the case. ”
Wei Ming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, Cui Zhi hurriedly smiled: "It's not that I doubt your knowledge, Lord Wei, it's just that you are from a big family in Qingzhou Mansion, my father and uncle are officials in the court, and the Qingzhou Prefect lives in the same city, so don't you sell your face?" ”
That's true.
Meng Zhongting's uncle Meng Yuecheng is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, his father is the governor of Taizhou, and the second uncle Meng Yueke on the second side of the second room is the sacrificial wine in Nanjing. At this time, the Meng family is no longer an ordinary scholar family who used to spin on the edge of politics, just wait for Meng Yuecheng to experience a few more years and calmly enter the cabinet, and the Meng family will be completely established in the entire Daxing Dynasty.
Such a person, an official who serves as a magistrate in Qingzhou, will not pay attention to it? Who to take to do this case is only in the prefect's thoughts.
Cui Zhi's question made sense, Wei Ming glanced at her deliberately, saw that there was some comfort on her immature face, and asked, "Do you want to persuade me to look away?" ”
"Yes!" Cui Zhi hurriedly said: "It's nothing if you don't get into the case, as long as it's over?" There is no difference between first and last place. ”
Wei Ming smiled and said, "The purpose of the government examination is naturally to pass, and the pursuit of ranking is indeed leisure." ”
When he said this, Cui Zhi was about to nod, and then heard Wei Ming say, "It's just that our Zhizhou is a person who attaches great importance to learning literature, and who he wants to take to commit the case depends on whether this person's article makes his eyes shine." ”
Cui Zhi was stunned for a moment, she remembered that Wei Ming said that Zhizhou was quite pedantic, and he had been in politics for many years, and he relied on a few staff members to do his work, but she didn't expect him to be obsessed with academics, if he was "pedantic" in academics, no matter how many in the political field, Wei Ming would have a chance.
Before she could speak, she saw Wei Ming smiling, and the willow leaves blowing in the wind fell on the placket of his clothes, and he twisted them up and played with them in his hands.
"Actually, I'd rather not be in the limelight."
Cui Zhi looked at the willow leaf in his hand, and suddenly felt that he was a big-tailed wolf.
That's right, it's the big-tailed wolf!

Qingzhou City falls into the Jade Fang, almost all of which are Meng's mansions.
The Meng clan has been rooted in Qingzhou City for more than 200 years, except for a few people who moved out of Qingzhou, most of them still live in Luoyufang. The Meng family is huge, with many heirs and many mansions, among which the best and largest houses are the east and west.
The east mansion is now the residence of the two brothers of the Meng clan, and the west mansion is the courtyard of the old lady in the second room. Meng Zhongting was the youngest of his uncles and brothers, line six.
His five elder brothers are all from Xiucai, and three of them are government trial cases.
“...... The case is not easy to do, our Futai does learning only according to his own preferences, if you want to get the case, just look at whether you cast his eyes, I advise you not to think too much, there is nothing wrong with not winning, or try again next time. ”
Meng Zhongting listened to his brother Meng Zhongliang flipping through the calligraphy, casually comforting, and silently clenched his hands.
His brother said that he was not close.
Meng Zhongliang is Meng Yuehe's eldest son, but the original match is born, and Meng Zhongting's mother is the continuation of the string. This year, he wanted to test the county government, and Meng Yuehe asked Meng Zhongting's mother, Yue, to return to her hometown in Qingzhou with her two sons. Meng Zhongliang is now a Xiucai, and this time he came back at the behest of Meng Yuehe to assist his younger brother in the Tong test.
But the relationship between the two brothers is not good, Meng Zhongliang came to Meng Zhongting's study to visit, firstly, he had just received Meng Yuehe's letter, so he naturally had to do some superficial work of brothers, friends and brothers, and secondly, he tried to do it in the hands of this mansion, and did not take the case, if Meng Zhongting also failed to win, he would be happy, on the contrary, he would be pressed by this step-room.
Meng Zhongliang is fifteen years old this year, four years older than Meng Zhongting, not too much, the two brothers almost grew up together, what does he think, Meng Zhongting knows it very well.
At the moment, Meng Zhongting said: "Fourth brother don't worry about me, whether you win or not, but with your ability, it is my brother who goes to Songlin Academy to study in the autumn, but he has to be more tight on weekdays, and those gentlemen in Songlin Academy are notoriously strict." ”
It's okay not to mention this, Meng Zhongting mentioned it at this time, and Meng Zhongliang's face immediately collapsed.
His father asked him to come back and tutor Meng Zhongting in the children's test, and the other was because he thought that he was playing too much with his local classmates in Taizhou, and he was not allowed to play in Taizhou anymore, so he was sent back to his hometown in Qingzhou, and he was also asked to study in Songlin Academy.
Songlin Academy is the first academy in Qingzhou, and with the status of their family, he is studying in the first academy in Jinan, which is not difficult, but it is just to let the eldest uncle pass a letter. But my father was unwilling, it was nothing more than that he felt that Mr. Songlin Academy was strict and wanted to control him well!
He is all married, why do you want Mr. to restrain him?!
Meng Zhongliang snorted coldly, and then looked at Meng Zhongting's gaze, as if he wanted to put a knife, "You better ask for more blessings first!" Don't be arrogant, and finally be compared to the kid from the countryside! ”
He said who the country boy is, of course Meng Zhongting knows, naturally it is Wei Ming in Anqiu County, and the Wei case is also eleven years old, last year because of the exchange of salt for rice, he has become famous, and many people are optimistic about Wei Ming taking the Zhongfu trial case, saying that this is called Tianzhong Wizard.
Meng Zhongting's subordinates tightened their grips, and their faces were tense and they didn't speak, until Meng Zhongliang came out of his study, and he slapped it on the bookcase.
Xiao Songyan was already waiting in front of the door, and now he hurriedly ran in after hearing the voice, "The sixth master should not be angry with the fourth master, you will have to try it in a few days!" How did you get it if you smashed your hand?! ”
Meng Zhongting's baby fat little face turned blue, and Songyan twisted a handkerchief to wipe his hands, "Don't be angry, the fourth lady is still waiting for you to eat, and when I look back, I see that you are angered by the fourth master again, it's time to be sad." ”
Meng Zhongting knew that Songyan was right, and his mother only had a sad part between him and Meng Zhongliang. On one side is the stepson, on the other side is the parent, and she must also level this bowl of water, the mother is too difficult.
"Change your clothes and go to my mother's place."
Meng Zhongting sighed, asked the little servant to change his clothes, and walked around the courtyard twice, feeling that his face was not as stiff as Fangcai, so he went to the Yue family's room.
Yue was pruning in the courtyard, and when he saw him coming, he smiled and said, "But you smell the smell of rice?" Sit down and eat a cup of tea, and the meal will be fine. ”
Meng Zhongting responded and walked towards Qianye Bai in front of Yue's body. Mother likes to make flowers and grass, especially love camellia, Meng Zhongting looked at the flowers and leaves cut by Yue's family, and his heart calmed down a lot.
But Yue still saw it, "But are you worried about the government test?" ”
