Chapter 10 Vow to fight for talents

"You and Xiaoyan have a marriage contract, I have always remembered this incident, and I have not forgotten it. Lin Donghai said.

Yan Weiqing immediately said: "Uncle Lin, don't forget, Lu Ming is a well-known poor sour in our Jiang County, but he is just a lucky gold list high school this year, in fact, he doesn't have much real talent and learning, I'm afraid this life will stop here, how can you agree to this marriage? I think it's better to give up!"

"Yan Weiqing, what nonsense are you talking about!", Lu Ming's face sank.

Yan Weiqing glanced at Lu Ming and continued: "And I am different, I, Yan Weiqing, am a son of the Great Yan family, and my distant relative is the first assistant of the dynasty, Yan Kun Yan, although I dare not guarantee what my career will be in the future, but at least I will eat and drink spicy food and clothing for the rest of my life, and only I can give her what she wants!"

Then he asked Lu Ming: "And what about you, what can you give him except a dilapidated house?"

"This ...... I ......"

Lu Ming's face turned red, and he had to use the action of drinking tea to cover up the past, without any will to argue.

Lin Donghai frowned, and then said: "Young Master Yan, I know your intentions, but this matter is a bit abrupt, besides, even if you love my little goose, my little goose may not be interested in you." ”

Yan Weiqing said sharply: "Uncle Yan, I am a relative of the first minister of the court, I don't care if Xiao Yan likes me or not, as long as I like her!"

"You ......"

Lin Donghai's face was furious, he didn't expect Yan Weiqing to use the name of the first assistant minister as a threat, he was just an ordinary scholar, he only had a civil position but no official position, and he didn't dare to offend the Yan family easily.

Lu Ming got up and said: "Yan Weiqing, aren't you forcing marriage! Let me tell you, when the first assistant of the dynasty is Yan Kun, it is not you, and Yan Shoufu cannot force Liang to become a prostitute for you, not to mention that you are just a branch of the Great Yan family, why bother here!"

"Presumptuous!"

Yan Weiqing said loudly: "Lu Qiansour, you pay attention to your tone for me, don't think that you are from Jiangxian University, I don't dare to touch you! You dare to insult my Yan family, I am worried that your life will not be guaranteed!"

"Okay, stop arguing, I'm not welcome guests who like to quarrel!"

As soon as Lin Donghai said this, Lu Ming and Yan Weiqing had no choice but to keep their mouths shut.

"Since you are all titled on the gold list, then I want to try your talent, I thought of a link-up myself, but after a period of hard thinking and meditation, I still can't go down, can you please match it for me?", Lin Donghai said.

"Okay!", Lu Ming happily agreed.

Yan Weiqing's face changed slightly, and he had no choice but to nod.

"My upper link is: the crescent moon is like a bow, the waning moon is like a bow, the upper bow and the lower bow. ”

"Good Shanglian! Uncle is really talented!", Yan Weiqing said toutingly.

Lin Donghai smiled and said: "Where is it, my Shanglian was standing upstairs looking at the moon a few days ago, and I just didn't know how to get it." ”

"Take local materials, feel it, this link is not good!"

While thinking about it, Lu Ming stood up and opened the window of the living room to look around.

Yan Weiqing secretly laughed: "The moon is a thing in the sky, do you also want to find something comparable to it in the mortal world? Besides, this is Uncle Lin's house, where will you find that theme?"

"The crescent moon and the waning moon are all a kind of appearance of the moon, but in fact it is still the moon, what kind of scene should be used for this couplet?"

"In the end...... What can be right?"

Lu Ming looked up and saw the sun, and laughed at himself: "Moon to sun? This is too far-fetched, you can't use a solar eclipse to a lunar eclipse, right?"

"Lu Ming, don't think about it, this is Uncle Yan's eternal absolute, but it's not something that you can match with just a scholar!", Yan Weiqing said with a sneer.

Lu Ming didn't seem to hear it, and continued to think there: "New moon, waning moon...... That's to the rising sun...... Chao yang...... Chao yang...... There you have it!"

Lu Ming's face suddenly turned happy, and he said: "I use Xiajing to match: the morning glow is like a brocade, the sunset is like a brocade, the Dongchuan brocade, the Xichuan brocade." ”

"Morning glow...... Sunset...... The sun is shining...... Ha ha...... Wonderful! Wonderful! Why didn't I think of using Kasumi?"

Lin Donghai was suddenly ecstatic, and couldn't help but pat the corner of the chair and laugh.

"Lu Ming, you ......"

Yan Weiqing's face was ugly, and he was very surprised, how much time had passed, and he actually had the next link, which was outrageous.

"It's unbelievable, Lu Ming has such a literary talent, he really deserves to be a talent at Jiangxian University, this person can't be kept, otherwise he will definitely become a big enemy!"

Yan Weiqing thought of this, his eyes revealed a strong killing intent, and there was also his infinite hatred.

"It's ugly!"

Lu Ming arched his hand, returned to his seat and sat down, and took a sip of tea.

Lin Donghai said slowly: "But then again, in fact, I understand the intentions of the two of you, but no matter what, I can only have a son-in-law, Lin Xiaoyan and Lu Ming already have a marriage contract, and Lu Hongxian's brother has passed away, the marriage contract cannot be changed without authorization, otherwise I will be sorry for his spirit in the sky." ”

"You ......"

Yan Weiqing gritted his teeth in anger, and only then did he realize that Lin Donghai seemed to be deliberately favoring Lu Ming.

"Why don't you do this? The first day of June this year is the imperial examination, if any of you can win the first name Maocai, then I will marry Lin Xiaoyan to him, and those who lose must not have any complaints, let alone retaliate, do you dare to make this bet?"

"Competing for the top spot?"

Lu Ming's face was shocked, the county examination was the easiest imperial examination, but only a top case leader was like climbing a mountain, it was difficult to step by step, and he missed himself.

If it weren't for the Yan family, the head of the case would definitely be Lu Ming himself.

Moreover, the imperial examination of the prefectural examination will be more difficult than the county examination, and countless scholars will participate in it every year, and there is only one Maocai, and the proportion of them is as astronomical.

What's more, Yan Weiqing still has Yan Dashoufu to support him, once Yan Kun comes forward, Maocai may be transferred to Yan Weiqing even if it is his own.

It's so hard to get to the bottom of it!

Lu Ming's face was very ugly, and he hardly had any confidence in himself.

"Haha...... Okay, I agree with the bet!"

Yan Weiqing laughed, his heart was overjoyed, and he thought in his heart: "God-given opportunity, I will not only be able to suppress Lu Ming in this year's government test, but also be able to win Maocai and win Lin Xiaoyan, double happiness is coming!"

"With Uncle Yan Kun supporting me, even if someone's literary talent is better than me, who would dare to compete with me for the top Maocai?

The corners of Yan Weiqing's mouth rose slightly, full of confidence.

"I agree. Lu Ming had no choice but to agree with a hard face.

"If you say it without evidence, you have to swear by your own position, and if you lose, you must be convinced and have no complaints!", Lin Donghai said.

"Good!"

Yan Weiqing immediately swore: "I, Yan Weiqing, swear to make a bet with Lu Ming today with my civil position, if I fail to compete for the top Maocai, I will give up my relationship with Lin Xiaoyan, and I am willing to lose the bet without complaining!"

"I, Lu Ming, swore a bet with Yan Weiqing today with my civil position, if I fail to compete for the top Maocai, I will give up my relationship with Lin Xiaoyan!"

After the words were spoken, Lin Xiaoyan's face outside the door was extremely ugly: "Stupid Lu Ming, he actually agreed to make a bet with Yan Weiqing to compete for the top Maocai, all the scholars in the world dream of it, Yan Weiqing is a prodigy in Jiangxian County, how can you rashly agree? Stupid! Stupid!"

"Stupid Lu Ming, if you can't compete for Maocai, then ...... I...... I won't spare you!", Lin Xiaoyan thought fiercely.

If someone violates the promise, it will be difficult for the light person to go further, and the heavy one will be directly abolished, and no one will dare to disobey the agreement.

Lin Donghai said again: "In addition, during your competition for Maocai, no matter what happens, you can't come to the Lin Mansion to see Xiaoyan, let alone ask her out privately, otherwise it will be regarded as abstention!"

"Good!"

Yan Weiqing happily agreed, while Lu Ming nodded silently and did not speak.

"Uncle Lin, I'll put the dowry at your house first, and my nephew will leave first!"

Yan Weiqing saluted, glanced at Lu Ming proudly, and walked out of the living room with a big smile.

Lu Ming also got up to say goodbye, but Lin Donghai didn't stay, and directly watched Lu Ming leave.

"It's hard to ...... It's hard......"

Lu Ming thought as he walked: "Every year after the county examination, the Fuwen Academy will recruit a group of new scholars to study in the academy, and since I want to take the prefectural examination, I must become a student of the Fuwen Academy!"

"But my family is not entangled, I'm afraid I won't be able to scrape together enough money for a while, and after I arrive at Shaoming Mansion, I will have to arrange my own accommodation......"

"I've got to figure out something!"

Unconsciously, Lu Ming had already returned to his home, raised his head slightly, and was stunned for a moment.

There was a man standing in front of him, wearing a white robe, and it turned out to be Han County's order there.

"Han County Order?"

"Lu Ming, you're finally back, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Han Xian Ling walked over, his hands behind his back, and smiled.

"Han County Order, do you have anything to do with me?", Lu Ming asked.

"The teacher said to me, you plan to go to the Shaoming Mansion Academy of Literature and prepare for this year's government exam, so I ordered me to write you a recommendation document for the county order, so that you can directly enter the House of Literature. ”

As he spoke, Han Xianling took out a document and handed it to Lu Ming.

"Recommendation paperwork, this is a good thing, thank you Han County!"

Han Xian Ling took out another money bag: "In addition, I have three hundred taels of silver here, you can use it as a coil!"

"I can't do it, it's useless, how can I take your money?", Lu Ming immediately resigned.

"This is my heart and that of my teacher, you can accept it, you are from a poor background, how can you go to Shaoming Mansion to establish yourself without money?"

"This ......"

Lu Ming hesitated, and after some rights, he still accepted the money, and said gratefully: "Thank you Han County Order, and please thank Zhenzhou University Scholar on my behalf!"

"This official still wants to check the people's situation, so I won't talk more with you, and I will leave!"

Han Xianling smiled and arched his hand, and then turned to leave.
