Chapter 22: A Good Relationship
"Everything is in order, even the scholar is ready, Yan'er, you can rest assured to learn. ”
In the living room, Zhou Yuanxiong looked calm, looking like he was "under control".
Zhou Yan was also happy in his heart, his father had finally done a reliable thing, it was extremely difficult to enter the Taixue Palace, the rules were strict, and he didn't know where he could find a way.
"Wait... Scholar?"
Zhou Yan quickly grasped the key information and said in a daze: "You can also take the scholar in?"
Zhou Yuanxiong smiled deeply, patted Zhou Yan's shoulder, and said with a confident smile: "Yan'er, although you are very good, in terms of experience, you are still much worse than your father. ”
"Although the rules of the Taixue Palace are strict, those Confucian celebrities are also very particular, and there are all kinds of scholars and servants. ”
"But I think you don't want to be too high-profile now, the servant won't arrange it for you, the scholar is a must, after all, you are the eldest son of the Zhou family." ”
Zhou Yan nodded again and again, Dad's words are at least right, there is a scholar to follow, and there is usually a person who calls, which is not bad.
Zhou Yuanxiong said: "By the way, are you still satisfied, scholar? This is an excellent talent selected for your father." ”
"Huh?"
Zhou Yan said: "I haven't seen it, how do I know that I am not satisfied." ”
Zhou Yuanxiong glared and said, "He's been standing here for so long, haven't you noticed?" Yan'er, your mind is not careful enough." ”
When the words fell, Uncle Kang, who was wearing Confucian clothes, stood up and said with a smile: "Young master, I'm here." ”
Zhou Yan suddenly opened his mouth and said in a daze: "You, the scholar, are you?"
"yes!"
Uncle Kang rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Although I am not a child, and I have not read a few books, but practice makes perfect, step by step, I still have potential." ”
"You're seventy-eight years old, and you're about to go into the ground, what a fart of potential!"
Zhou Yan was angry, and hurriedly said: "Dad, Uncle Kang can't do it, this old thing has always been unreliable." ”
"Nonsense!"
Zhou Yuanxiong's face suddenly sank, and he said solemnly: "How can you talk to Lao Kang like this, he has been in our Zhou family for decades, and he is loyal, what does it mean to be unreliable?"
Zhou Yan waved his hand and said, "Anyway, it's not suitable for him to be a scholar, how did you think of him?"
Zhou Yuanxiong said: "It's Lao Kang who volunteered, he said that there are many female students in Taixue Palace, and he is afraid that you will be deceived, so he will follow you, on the one hand, to help you do something, and on the other hand, to prevent female classmates from bewitching you." ”
yes, you're waiting for me here!
What do you mean by preventing female classmates from bewitching me? He is clearly cowardly, with the same purpose as Xiaowen.
Uncle Kang leaned over, seemed to know what Zhou Yan was thinking, and said in a suppressed voice: "Young master, don't get me wrong, I'm really not here for female students, it's too dangerous in the house, I also want to go into the Taixue Palace to hide, save a dog's life, young master help!"
Zhou Yan sneered, this old dog really thinks the same as Lao Tzu, such a greedy person who is afraid of death, will sell Lao Tzu sooner or later by Lao Tzu's side.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan said directly: "No, I don't need Uncle Kang to go with me, such an excellent talent, Dad, keep it for yourself." ”
"Alas... Master... I'm old and useless..."
Uncle Kang choked up, tears were about to fall, clutching his chest and panting, looking like he couldn't bear the blow and wanted to die.
Zhou Yuanxiong really raised his eyebrows, and said loudly: "Lao Kang, Yan'er is young and ignorant, don't worry about it." You will always be the best housekeeper of the Zhou family!"
After speaking, he looked at Zhou Yan and said, "This matter is settled, Lao Kang is your scholar, I believe he can do it well." ”
Zhou Yan glared at Uncle Kang, extremely annoyed in his heart, this old dog is too powerful, and he will get rid of his father as soon as he sells it miserably.
For this reason, Zhou Yan could only turn his gaze to Bei Shaking Mingyue, hoping that she would persuade her, after all, Daddy still attaches great importance to her opinion.
"Uncle Kang... Pretty good. ”
Bei Shake Mingyue nodded and said: "Be smart and not rigid, it may have a miraculous effect at a critical time." ”
"Thank you for your trust!"
Uncle Kang immediately clenched his fists and bowed, and said excitedly: "I will definitely live up to your trust and promise to complete the task." ”
Zhou Yan smiled angrily, this old dog is so shameless, the young grandmother barked.
But he quickly reacted again, and wondered, "Uncle Kang has looked for you?"
Bei Shao Mingyue said: "Well, he came to me in the morning and analyzed the current situation and the situation in Taixue Palace, I think what he said is reasonable, and he is very suitable to be your scholar." ”
Wow, this old dog has made so many preparations in advance, it seems that he is determined to win.
Uncle Kang glanced at Zhou Yan with some shame, and said with a smile: "Young master, the overall situation has been decided, and there is no change of people, let's go." ”
"Count you ruthless. ”
Zhou Yan suppressed his voice and roared, so he followed Uncle Kang straight towards Taixue Palace.
Taixue Palace is located in the center of Qingzhou City, covering an area of more than 1,000 acres, luxurious and magnificent, profound heritage, and has produced many talents.
It is said that the current city lord of Qingzhou is a well-known alumnus of Taixue Palace.
When he came to the square in front of the Taixue Palace, Zhou Yan saw a long queue of at least four or five hundred people, all holding a wooden sign in their hands.
Uncle Kang also took out the wooden card in his arms and walked to the end of the crowd and lined up.
Zhou Yan was stunned and said, "You... What are you lining up for?"
Uncle Kang said: "Help you line up, how can you interview if you don't queue up?" ”
Zhou Yan couldn't help but say, "Didn't my dad find a good relationship? Why do you still need an interview?"
Uncle Kang scratched his head, checked the sign in his hand, and said, "This is the relationship, the master spent a full thirteen taels of silver to buy a scalper ticket, otherwise it would have to wait until three months later." ”
"After all, this is the Taixue Palace, and only six hundred people are interviewed every month, and the tickets have long been sold out. ”
Zhou Yan took two steps back, glared and said, "This is what he called a proper arrangement?"
Uncle Kang nodded and said, "Usually it only costs one or two pieces of silver, but it costs thirteen times." ”
Damn it... Daddy, you're so reliable!
Zhou Yan didn't fight anywhere, fortunately he had a little ink in his stomach, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to get in.
He secretly remembered that Dad and Uncle Kang were unreliable, no matter what the situation, don't have any hope for them, otherwise they will be disappointed.
Just thinking about it, an old man suddenly leaned over and said in a suppressed voice: "Classmate, do you want an exam ticket for the Taixue Palace?" ”
Another scalper?
Zhou Yan waved his hand and said, "No, I have." ”
He pointed to Uncle Kang, indicating that this was his scholar.
But soon, he reacted and exclaimed, "How much do you say?
The old man's face turned red, and he hurriedly sneered: "Ahem... That one... Classmates are really not good at fooling, okay, two taels of silver. ”
Zhou Yan's expression was complicated.
The old man said helplessly: "Classmates, don't bargain, two taels of silver is the lowest price, even if you queue up to buy a ticket, you have to pay one or two silver." ”
"Nima..."
Zhou Yan was almost so angry that a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Daddy really has a hard enough relationship! Find a scalper and be cut thirteen taels of silver! Is this like a word!
But Zhou Yan suddenly felt that things were weird, how could his father come to buy tickets in person?
After thinking about it, he looked at Uncle Kang, squinted his eyes and said, "Uncle Kang, you came to buy the ticket, right?"
Uncle Kang turned around and smiled embarrassedly: "I earned the difference of eleven taels of silver, and I will divide you five taels and a half later, don't tell the master." ”
Zhou Yan took a deep breath and was completely speechless.
