About half an hour later, Wang Ergou came with someone.

There were four men and ten women in total, and Wang Ergou stepped forward with a smile and said, "Qin Gongzi, four slaves, are responsible for running errands inside and out. Six servants, two cooks, and six were responsible for washing and sprinkling the courtyard. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Ergou leaned closer and lowered his voice, and said with a smile: "I specially selected two pretty personal maids for you, both of whom are sixteen years old and have beautiful appearances." They are all signed death deeds, and Qin Gongzi can do it at will. ”

Looking at his cheap appearance, Qin Guan still didn't know what Wang Ergou meant.

raised his eyes and looked, the two maids looked really good, although they were not stunning, but they were definitely two little beauties.

Qin Guan was very satisfied, let Erbao pay the money to get the deed of sale, and rewarded 5 yuan, Wang Ergou thanked him and left.

Qin Guan said to Erbao beside him: "Erbao, the young master has given you a task, you will be the chief housekeeper of this courtyard in the future, and you will be responsible for everything here." ”

Erbao was stunned for a moment, and said with some trepidation: "Young master, I, I don't understand it very well." ”

Qin Guan patted him on the shoulder, "If you don't know how to learn, besides, there's nothing to do here, at most it's a casual residence, I usually live at home." ”

If Qin Guan dares to move out now, it is estimated that his mother will immediately tell his father Qin Zhang, and maybe Qin Zhang will run back from Jinling and break his leg.

Father and mother dare to split the family, it is not filial, and it is light to break the leg.

Erbao had no choice but to bite the bullet.

The other servants went to clean up, Erbao commanded the work, and really looked like a big housekeeper, Qin Guan came to the backyard, sat in the pavilion, admired the lotus leaves and lotus, the breeze swept by, and wrinkled half of the spring water.

The two maids brought tea, Qin Guan didn't move, and asked, "What are your names?" ”

The two pretty little maids saluted in unison, and the taller one spoke first, "Young master, the slave's name is Ping'er." ”

The other shorter girl was even more shy, and whispered, "Slave ** Mei." ”

Qin Guan was a little stunned when he heard the name.

Is Lao Tzu going to change his name to Ximen Daguanren?

"Okay, you have changed your name now, you will be called Shuxiang in the future, and you will be called Moyun." Since then, the tall maid has changed her name to Shuxiang, and the shy maid has changed her name to Mo Yun.

It was getting late, Qin Guan didn't stay in the other courtyard for long, and returned to the Qin Mansion.

In the courtyard room, the two little maids secretly chatted about Qin Guan.

"I thought our young master would stay here tonight."

"Sister Scholarly Sichun."

Shuxiang slapped Mo Yun, "How can there be, but I think that the young master is different from the rumors." ”

"It's different, the outside world used to say that the young master was a gentleman, but now it doesn't look like it, and now the young master is a famous talent in Hangzhou, his poems are sung by the whole Hangzhou, I like that Queqiao Immortal the most."

"Mo Yun, in the future, we will serve the young master well, and it will be our blessing to be able to follow the young master."

"I understand, Sister Scholar."

Time is like a white horse passing by, in a blink of an eye, it has entered August, and the autumn township test has begun.

At more than two o'clock in the morning, Qin Guan was woken up, it was still pitch black outside, Qin Guan was blindfolded, and asked Rue Xiang to wait for him to dress and comb his hair.

When I washed my face, I was stirred by the cold water, and I was a little sober.

When he came to the living room, he found that the old lady and the eldest brother, the second mother, and the younger sister were also there, and the entire Qin Mansion estimated that he would get up the latest.

Mrs. Qin looked at her two sons, and was very happy in her heart, the eldest son has always been sensible and obedient, friendly in learning, and it is very likely to develop on the road of the imperial examination, the younger son used to be stubborn, but suddenly changed a lot, knowing that he was progressing in reading, and was admitted to Xiucai, and now he has a great reputation in poetry.

The eldest son once told her that Guan'er's poems are all masterpieces that can be passed down for centuries and thousands of years, and maybe in the future, their Qin family will be able to leave a name in the annals of history, and it will depend on Qin Guan.

With such two sons, what is there not to be satisfied with?

Mrs. Qin beckoned her two sons to eat, and instructed her subordinates to prepare things, and this time the preparations were even more complete.

The township test is different from the hospital test, this exam depends on two days and one night, and you are not allowed to leave the examination hall in the middle, and even the toilet is followed by a special person, and eating, drinking, and Lazar are all in the examination hall.

The place to sleep can only be that small examination room can not come out. It doesn't matter if you are the son of an official eunuch or a scholar from a poor family, there is no preferential treatment.

Fortunately, it's only August, and the weather is quite suitable, if it is scheduled for November, maybe an exam will come down, and those who are not in good health may not be able to survive.

Bacon, marinated vegetables, dried fruits, snacks, teapots, cups, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, in short, Qin Guan thought of what he couldn't imagine, Mrs. Qin thought of it, got a big box, and even prepared two thin blankets and a pillow. And these things are all put in the suitcase by Mrs. Qin's own hands, this is a care for the mother, and she is also afraid of mistakes through other people's hands, after all, this is a major event related to her son's life.

If someone really has a bad intention, he casually carries a piece of paper with words in it, and maybe it will ruin his son's life.

There is still a chance to participate in the examination in the hospital examination, but if it is carried during the township examination, the end will be much more visible, and the light ones will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination for life, and the heavy ones may be sentenced to exile.

After eating, Qin Wei and Qin Zhang came to the grandmother's room again, and the old lady had already gotten up, and when she saw the two grandsons kowtowing, she said kindly: "The most glorious moment for a man is when the title of the gold list is inscribed. ”

"My Qin family has been studying heirlooms for several generations, and your grandfather has been studying for 20 years. Your grandfather studied literature for 30 years, and finally passed the examination, filled the official vacancy, and became the county lieutenant of Anxi County. Your father studied hard, and he studied literature for 16 years and entered high school, at that moment, how glorious our Qin family was. ”

"Now that you are adults, you are the future of the Qin family, the hope of the Qin family, and when you embark on the road of the imperial examination, you must devote all your energy to a brilliant future and carry forward the Qin family."

When the old lady spoke, Qin Wei and Qin Guan had a feeling of blood boiling, and they were full of strength.

Don't look at the old lady who is usually very kind and doesn't interfere in the affairs of the family at all, but if she can teach Qin Zhang such a jinshi with her own hands, how can she be an ordinary old lady.

The two brothers worshiped the old lady again, and Qin Xi drove the two young masters to the examination institute, followed by Erbao and several other servants.

Before the group came to the examination hall, they saw that it was already crowded with people, full of candidates and family servants who came to take the exam, although it was only 5 o'clock in the morning, but Qin Guan estimated that there were no less than 3,000 people here, and there were people coming one after another.

Qin Guan searched in the crowd and found no Zheng Da. Zheng Da will also participate in the township examination this year, and before the exam, he was locked up by his father in retreat, except for the Qixi Poetry Club, Qin Guan has never seen him again.

But now it's noisy, it's hard to find someone, and it seems that we can only talk after the exam.

When the sky was just showing a touch of fish belly white, the gate of the examination hall opened, and a row of government soldiers came out on both sides, and there were as many as three or four hundred people.

The whole body armor stood there with a spear in his hand, and suddenly the playground of the examination institute that was originally chaotic was quiet.
