"If you talk about the article, I'm far away, I still have to be our left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Cheng You, Lord Wencheng!" Wu Qingxi saw that it was a silver ticket of 1,000 taels, so he also smiled, "Back then, his boss was the eye of the palace test, and the article was called a ball of splendor, and it is said that the emperor ordered someone to copy his handscroll, and he always took it out to watch it." ”

"That's it, I see that you are still clever and sensible, so I will teach you a good one, Ming'er will go to worship Lord Cheng Youwen, he is the real Buddha, and he will be effective when he asks for it, hehehe......" Wu Qingxi pushed it to Cheng Youwen again.

"Master Cheng will want to study politics in the future, and he will be the prime minister, and he will worship him in his later life, but I am afraid that he will not be able to take the time to see him." Lin Qi said.

"Well, it's very difficult for you to see him, so I'll write you another word, go to his lord's house, and hand it in." Wu Qingxi said.

"Thank you so much, sir!" Lin Qi looked overjoyed.

It's really just a few words, only a strip wide of a finger, which cost a thousand taels of silver to polish the pen, and the gift is not counted......

But it's not worth it.

In fact, Xiao Chen had already told Lin Qi to go directly to Wu Qingxi and mention his and Zhao Yu's names.

But Lin Qi felt that either he didn't do it, he would do it confidentially, although Wu Qingxi was an undercover person, but he couldn't guarantee that he would leak the news......

Xiao Chen said I don't care about this, you can do it yourself.

So far, it has been done well, Wu Qingxi has no doubts about his identity at all, otherwise he would not have written a note for him to pave the way, but it just spent some extra silver.

Fortunately, Brother Xiao Chen said that silver is not a problem, he will give as much as he spends......

Brother Xiao Chen, this person is really interesting.

It was easy to see Wu Qingxi, but it was difficult to see Cheng Youwen, and the next day Lin Qi arrived at Cheng Youwen's house, and saw that the cars and horses at the door were lined up on the street and turned around......

I won't be able to see this for a day!

Fortunately, there is Wu Qingxi's note, so I don't know if it's good or not? Can you cut in line?

immediately walked to the door, caught a doorman, directly gave him five taels of silver, and took out Wu Qingxi's note to show him.

The man smiled after a glance, "Tiaozi, there are big guys, and there are not a few who are bigger than this Lord Wu Qingxi...... But I see that you are not a bad person, so I will go in and give you a gift to the seventh master, and see if he has time to see you? ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Lin Qi knew that this so-called 'Seventh Master' was Cheng Youwen's housekeeper Cheng Qi, the so-called Prime Minister's Seventh Rank Official, although this Seventh Master had no grade, he was definitely more spirited than the Seventh Rank Official.

Not to mention that he really did something after receiving money, he ran out and waved at him after a while, took him in from the side door, and came to a tea room, where stood a middle-aged man who was not like an official and a middle-aged man who was not like a people.

If you say that he is an official, but he is wearing a green coat and has no crown belt, if you say that he is not an official, but when you go here, Yue Zhiyuan's steadiness, his expression of smiling but not smiling, and his momentum of horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes, even if he is a five-grade official, it is far inferior to ......

Naturally, it is Cheng Qiqiye's own deity.

Seeing Lin Qi saluting him, he just smiled slightly, raised his hand slightly, and invited Lin Qi to enter, but he should go in first, saying that if there was no Wu Qingxi's note, Cheng Qiye would not have greeted him at all......

Take a seat and serve tea.

"Master Cheng, I am here ...... late" Lin Qi saw that he had seen a lot of this kind of people, so he knew what they liked to hear, so he said anything.

"Huh! How is this said? Cheng Qi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "We're just grass people, but we don't dare to call ourselves adults, and we don't deserve the humility of your brother Lin, a late student." ”

"I've heard of Lord Cheng's name for a long time, isn't it you who is known as the Three Uniques of Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting? Adult, you are just playing in the world, hidden in the city, and you don't want to be famous, otherwise you would have won the Toad Palace a long time ago, and the title of the gold list would have been inscribed! "Lin Qi had also done his homework before he came.

Knowing that this guy is a layman, but he prefers to be vassally elegant, he is obviously a housekeeper, but he always likes to think of himself as a hermit, Lin Qi's words can be regarded as scratching his itch.

Lin Qi wanted to ask him for a painting again, and he wanted to ask for a poem, which made him even more happy, and when Lin Qi took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels as a pen polishing fee and presented it respectfully, Cheng Qi's mouth was already grinning behind his ears.

immediately readily agreed, and took the initiative to ask Lin Qi what he wanted to do here?

Of course, Lin Qi said that he wanted to meet Master Cheng Youwen, but Master Cheng was busy with state affairs, so he must not be able to see him, but it was worth the trip to meet Master Cheng......

Just ask Lord Cheng to help you present the prayer slip and gift list.

Cheng Qi directly opened the worship post in front of him, and this extremely rude behavior showed that he was Cheng Youwen's confidant.

"It turns out that Brother Yumen is a person from Langya County, but he can also recognize Governor Duan?" Cheng Qi looked carefully and thoughtfully.

Lin Qi didn't recognize him honestly, just because he was originally from Jiangdong, he had only arrived in Langya County not long ago...... took the initiative to expose his flaws to Cheng Qi to reassure him.

Because of his change of nationality, if people investigate it deeply, they will directly deprive him of his qualifications for the examination and cancel his status as a son......

Cheng Qi was actually extremely cautious, and immediately interrogated him carefully, Lin Qi had already prepared and answered like a stream.

Of course, the words also revealed that his family has strong financial resources, and his desire to be named on the gold list very much, as well as the meaning of being willing to drill into the camp......

Naturally, it's not all explicit, as long as Cheng Qi can comprehend it.

"If you want to claim fame, you have to take risks." Cheng Qi suddenly smiled weirdly, "You are young, but do you know how deep the water in our Fengyang City is?" ”

"The late students only know that they can be the protégés of Master Cheng, that is, the glory of the ancestors, the lintel of the light gate!" Lin Qi said, "Late life is also the son of an official eunuch, there are some rules that can be said or not, but I also understand, not only did my father teach him earnestly before I came, but even Lord Wu Qingxi also gave me some advice." ”

"It's good to understand, but you also have to keep yourself clean." Cheng Qidao, "For example, some time ago, a Jiangnan juzi, who was the same age as you, was also smart, but he was greedy and lustful, and he was beaten to death by others because he was drunk and talked nonsense in a kiln before, and he was beaten to death by others, and the murderer has not been caught so far, hehe." ”

"Late life remember!" Lin Qi was terrified.

"Well, I've been busy lately, and I don't have time to write poems and paint, so I only have an old work if you like it." Cheng Qi got up and took out a painting from the inner room and handed it to Lin Qi, and said with a smile, "But everyone who comes to catch the exam likes to draw auspicious pictures, and the name of Qingyun Pavilion is not bad, you can also go and please it, the boss is familiar with me......"

The small two thousand taels of silver were spent, and Lin Qi arrived at Qingyun Pavilion.

With Cheng Qi's calligraphy and painting, the fat boss didn't see him, and negotiated it in a few words, and Lin Qi also happily paid a deposit of 10,000 taels of silver.

The first step of the task was successfully completed.
