Thinking of the Xiucai exam, Zheng Da's fat face had a sad look.

"Last year, before the hospital exam, in those six months, you don't know what kind of miserable life I lived!"

Zheng Fatzi looked like he was about to cry, and he snorted fakely.

"I was locked up in a separate hospital and ordered not to step out of the hospital. I don't have a single maid left, only a group of five big and three rough healthy women. ”

"My father invited three gentlemen for me, who took turns to teach me, a small test in three days, a big test in seven days, as long as there was no one, it was a board, during that time, my ass was not good for a day, and I could only sleep on my stomach every day."

Speaking of this, Qin Guan was horrified to find that Zheng Fatzi's eyes were already full of mist.

"Really, fake." Qin Guan asked in disbelief.

Zheng Da slapped the table and said loudly: "Of course it's true, I lived such a dark life, and I spent half a year until I took the exam." ”

"Fortunately, I passed the exam, otherwise, I would have to come back again this year, you don't know, that kind of day is really inhumane."

"And I studied like that, and I only got a middle and lower ranking, Brother Qin, do you think that someone like you, who has never studied, can be admitted to Xiucai, I advise you to forget it, go back and dig the lotus pond of your house a little deeper, swim a few times a day, and practice your swimming skills early."

In the end, Zheng Da did not forget to attack Qin Guan.

On the other side, Mrs. Qin was already writing a letter to the master.

After it was written, he didn't go to the post station, and asked his subordinates to take the letter and send it to Jinling, the capital of Zhao.

Jinling City Qinfu,

After Qin Gui, who was tired, gave a salute to his lord Qin Zhang and eldest son Qin Wei, he took out his wife's letter from his arms and presented it to his lord with his own hands.

"Thank you Qin Gui, go down and rest." Qin Zhang nodded and said.

"Don't work hard, master, Qin Gui has gone down."

After Qin Gui went out, Qin Zhangcai opened the letter and looked at it, and after reading it, he looked angry and said to his eldest son Qin Wei who was standing aside: "Your mother's letter, you can also read it." ”

Qin Wei took the letter and read it quickly, his face full of surprise.

"Second brother, he actually wants to take the imperial examination, it seems that he has grown."

Qin Zhang slammed the teacup on the table, opened his mouth and scolded: "He grew into a fart, didn't you see what your mother said, he bet with others that if he can't pass the Xiucai exam, he will jump to the West Lake, I really don't know what to say, and now he must have become the laughing stock of the whole Hangzhou City." ”

"Your mother said that he hit his head and had amnesia for two days, I think it's good that he really has amnesia, I can save some worry, no matter how much I change, it's much better than him messing around all day."

"I also have to write a letter to him for my father to be accommodating, let the prefect recommend him to take the college exam, and let my father accompany him to mess around. What is he doing in the imperial examination, such a child's play, even if he can take the exam, can he be admitted, it is not a joke in vain. ”

Qin Wei thought for a while and said, "Father, since the second brother has the heart to take the imperial examination, you might as well let him try, it's much better than him wandering around every day, even if he can't pass the exam, he can also sharpen his temperament." ”

Qin Zhang nodded when he heard his eldest son say this. "Yes, I'll write back to your mother, since he wants to take the imperial examination, let him participate, but in the past two months, let your mother control him strictly, and save yourself from going out to mess around again."

After Qin Zhang finished speaking, he spread out his pen and ink, brushed and wrote a letter to his wife, and strictly ordered Qin Guan to go out, since he had to take the exam, then read at home.

Spread out another piece of paper, thought about it, and then wrote again: "Brother Yunxia personally opened the ....." After writing, he picked it up and blew it, folded it and put it in the envelope, and said to Qin Wei: "Hangzhou prefect Lin Qi Lin Yunxia and I are the same year, I wrote a letter to the Hangzhou prefect, asking him to nominate Guan'er to participate in the hospital examination this year, you give it to Qin Gui tomorrow, let him take it back." ”

Qin Zhang took a sip of tea, and said to his eldest son: "Wei'er, you don't always stay at home to study, it's useless to study dead, the imperial examination is just a step to the body." ”

"Sometimes, some talents will make the examiner have a good impression of you, which will be of great help, you can go out and walk more, communicate with your classmates, and make more friends, it always doesn't hurt."

Qin Wei bent down slightly, "Yes, father." ”

Seeing his eldest son like this, Qin Zhang could only sigh secretly.

His eldest son, who is obedient and obedient, but his personality is too wooden and unsociable, Qin Zhang knows that even if he enters the officialdom, it is not easy to gain a foothold.

The open and secret battles in the officialdom and the deceit are really not something that Qin Wei can deal with.

The youngest son Qin Guan's personality is always with him, but unfortunately, he is too jumpy, and he is not well controlled, and he is doted on by his mother and wife, and he has become a complete gentleman.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel stuffed in my heart.

waved his hand to Qin Wei, "Forget it, I'm tired for my father, you go, let Qin Gui rest for one night, and go back tomorrow." ”

"Yes, father."

Qin Wei left the study.

Early the next morning, Qin Gui returned to Hangzhou with the master's two letters, these four days, Qin Guan has been looking forward to it, when he saw his father Qin Zhang's letters, he was relieved, he didn't want to wait for a year.

The chief housekeeper Qin Rong took Qin Zhang's letter to the prefect and knocked on Lynch.

After Lynch opened the letter and read it, he couldn't help shaking his head in his heart, who in Hangzhou didn't know Qin Guan's name, even if he was busy with official business, he had heard a lot of anecdotes about Qin Guan, no matter what else, there was definitely no knowledge.

Lynch was reluctant to let him participate in the hospital examination, because the quality of the recommended talents is also one of the criteria for considering local government affairs.

However, Qin Zhang was his same year, and it was difficult to refuse, so he hesitated for a while and threw the letter on the table.

Master Sun, who was standing next to him, glanced at the letter a few times, and said with a little surprise: "My lord, does this Qin Guan also want to participate in this year's college examination?" ”

Lynch leaned back, let himself relax, and said: "Yes, Qin Zhang's letter wants me to recommend his gentlemanly son to participate in this year's college exam, then Qin Guan I have also heard of it, if you don't learn and have no skills, how can you have any knowledge, Qin Zhang is also too spoiled, and he actually plays with him." ”

The master smiled and said to Lynch: "Master, you have been busy with official business in the past two days, maybe you don't know that in the past few days, Qin Guan has become famous again in our Hangzhou, and it is also related to this hospital examination." ”

As he spoke, he also pointed to Qin Zhang's letter on the table.

Lynch was intrigued, "Oh, what's the anecdote." ”

"It is indeed an interesting anecdote, a few days ago, a group of students invited Meng Xiangjun, one of the Oiran in Hangzhou, to hold a poetry meeting in Zhulinxuan, the annex of Jinling Temple in the south of the city, and Qin Guan also went to participate, during which Qin Guan was ridiculed by several talents for not learning and not knowing poetry."

"That Qin Guan said wildly on the spot, saying that he could make a good sentence for the ages casually, and then chanted a word, but it shocked the students on the spot."

Lynch is good at poetry, and his interest in hearing this has increased greatly, "There is the original text of Qin Guan's poems, read it and listen to it." ”
