Chapter 25: Bumpy Road Ahead (3000 Collects and Changes)
"The little nephew visits his uncle and aunt, and I wish my uncle good health! Family luck lasts a long time! When he arrived at the house, Qian Hua directly introduced Li You into the courtyard, and the contemporary Changhua Bo Qian Sa and his wife were already waiting in the main hall, and Li You hurriedly stepped forward to meet him.
"Like! What a look! Qian Sa couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw Li You raise his head, and muttered in his mouth, "I think when I first met your father, he was also as talented and graceful as you!" As he spoke, the corners of the old man's eyes were a little moist!
This made a fuss, even Li You, an impostor who didn't have much affection for the old man, was a little sentimental, and shed a few tears with the old man! In the end, it was Qian Hua who stepped forward and said, "Father, the deceased is gone, and now Brother Wenyang is an adult; Uncle Lee should be comforted even if he has a spirit in heaven! ”
Mrs. Qian on the side also persuaded her, "It's a great joy to see You'er today, why do you want to make people unhappy!" You'er has worked hard all the way, Hua'er, you take You'er to bathe and change clothes first! Then let's talk again! ”
"Thank you for your care! The uncle's friendship is so deep that the little nephew is grateful! In any case, this sincere friendship still made Li You very admired, and he accompanied the two old men to say a few words, and then left with Qian Hua.
After taking a comfortable shower and changing his clothes, Li You came back to the main hall; I saw Qian Sa talking to Xu Guang about the situation along the way, and the gift list prepared by Xu Guang has now been placed in Qian Sa's hand. In the end, he is a world friend, and he doesn't speak so much, Qian Sa saw him come out and said directly, "If someone else gives a gift to the door, I won't see him!" But I'm glad I received your gift! I've also prepared some things for you to use when you enter Beijing, and I'll ask Hua'er to send them to your ship when you leave!" ”
"Thank you uncle for your kindness, but such a little nephew is disrespectful!" The other party simply didn't twist it, and simply agreed.
"Well, this is what Brother Li looked like back then!" Qian Sa is also very satisfied with his performance! Stretched out his hand and beckoned the housekeeper to prepare a banquet, "You'er has a good drink with your uncle, and Mr. Xu is also invited to the table, our old friends get together, there are not so many rules for outsiders!" He was very polite to Xu Guang between words, and later Li You learned that Xu Guang was also very kind to Qian Sa when he was in the army.
After three rounds of drinking, they told each other about the recent situation at home, Qian Sa suddenly put down his wine glass and asked, "Can You'er be sure to enter Beijing this time?" ”
"The little nephew has not wasted time over the years, and he is a little sure." The former owner of Li You's body studied very hard, and he also inherited the other party's memory, besides, even if he couldn't pass the test, wouldn't there be any other way? "Mr. Xu also said before leaving that after entering Beijing, he would first visit a few elders, and he didn't expect that his little nephew would be wasted!" Since the two families are so close, Li You also told the truth and told his plan to use money to open the way.
Qian Sa has been in the officialdom for many years, and he doesn't have much aversion to this kind of thing, he hesitated for a moment and shook his head and said, "The elders should move around more, but now is not as good as in the past, if you want to successfully attack the lord and stabilize yourself, whether it is poetry or bow horses, you can't leave it behind!" ”
In order to prevent the descendants of these noble families from becoming waste, Taizu opened the second department of civil and military affairs at the same time in Guozijian, requiring these officials N generation not only to be familiar with poetry and books, but also to have a strong martial arts, as for the art of war is a compulsory course, what they want is to let them not lose their ancestors' housekeeping skills! In the future, there will be something in the court that will come in handy.
However, as with all policies, no matter how well-intentioned, they may be strictly adhered to when they are first introduced, but they will gradually become unreassuming over time.
When the Great Wei Dynasty was just founded, those new noble sons and daughters of the lord Wen Neng entered the court as officials, and Wu Neng led the troops to fight, and now most of them can only lie down and enjoy, and people like Qian Sa and Li You's father are a few after all!
Many people are old enough to go to the country for a few years, and then use the money to open the way and get it smoothly! Those examiners will not embarrass these well-connected noble children when they get benefits.
But listening to Qian Sa say this, is there any change in the Guozijian now? Concerning the future of his master, Xu Guang hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask Gong Qian, but there is a change in the court?" ”
"Hmm!" Qian Sa touched his beard and said, "I just got the news from the newspaper today, the original sacrificial wine of the Guozijian Lu Xiwen Lu has returned to his hometown, and the new sacrificial wine is Wang Weizhen, the former director of the Guozijian!" That Lord Lu was born in the Lantian Lu family, and he is my noble lineage, so I don't think I will be harsh with you! And Wang Weizhen is different, he was born in a poor family, and when he was a child, he was robbed of his family business by local nobles! This kind of black sheep has caused Lord Wang to misunderstand our noble children, and if you get in the way of your homework, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to pass this hurdle! ”
Unexpectedly, it was a disaster, and then recalled what he heard in the Di Bao when he was at home a few days ago and what he saw along the way from Jiazhou to Qiantang, Li You knew that the party competition in the Great Wei Dynasty was harsh now, and it was probably not so easy for him to graduate from Guozijian smoothly and pass the exam to get the title!
But after thinking about so many subsets of scriptures and histories in his mind and his twenty-three points of force value, Li You still has some confidence in passing the exam! "Thank you uncle for telling me, but I guess if the little nephew's studies are in the past, then I'm afraid it's not good for the priest to let the little nephew pass, right?"
"Of course! Don't say that you can pass the exam, even if you are unlucky, he will not let you take the knighthood, can't I wait for the nobles to change the sacrificial wine? Uncle will definitely stand up for you when the time comes! "Qian Sa is domineering at this time, in this kind of matter related to the vital interests of the Xungui Group, no one will be sloppy, today he can be stuck in Li You's title, can't he be stuck in your family tomorrow? For this kind of major event involving family inheritance, no nobleman will stay out of it.
"But if you can pass the second civil and military department with your own strength, we can also save some effort!" Qian Sa wanted to speak and stopped, thinking that Wang Weizhen was not an easy person to deal with.
Come to think of it, since the Hanmen Group can push him to such a critical position as the Guozi Priest Wine, the position is to let him get stuck in the Xungui family's path to attack the lord and weaken the strength of the Xungui Group, such a task is not a few brushes people have no ability to complete it! Thinking of this, Li You was not only worried about his life in the capital.
I'm afraid that my trip to the country will not end so smoothly, right? In the future, I will inevitably have to deal with this Lord Wang Weizhen!
