Chapter 8 Case
In fact, Wang Fu doesn't understand the quality of wolf skins, but he can't act like he doesn't understand. Anyway, he is not completely unlearned, and it is not wrong to pick some beautiful words and say them.
Qin Chuan naturally echoed this.
Wang Fu asked the housekeeper, "In terms of market price, how much is the right price for such a wolf skin?" ”
As a scholar, he should not be disdainful, he can distinguish the good and bad of wolf skins, and as for the price of goods, he does not have to be so clear, otherwise he will appear to be a philistine.
Of course, if Zheng Tu came here, Wang Fu didn't have to care about this at all.
Qin Chuan is different, he can take the college exam at the age of sixteen, and it is only a matter of time before he is admitted to Xiucai.
"Twenty taels."
Wang Fu clapped his hands and said: "Brother Qin Xian and I hit it off at first sight, then add another ten taels, you take them to the checkout, and Brother Qin Xian and I go to the pavilion to drink two cups." ”
"No." The housekeeper received Wang Fu's instructions and took Zheng Tu and his wife, who were waiting outside, to the account room to get the money.
Qin Chuan saw that Wang Fu had added money, but he didn't say anything to excuse himself, and honestly followed Wang Fu over to drink.
Ten taels of silver is money that ordinary people may not be able to earn in a year, but for the children of a big family like Wang Fu, it is naturally nothing.
Not to mention this deal, there are also Zheng Tu's shares.
Knowing white and guarding black is also his style of acting.
Wang Fu's family is a large family, with an inner house and an outer courtyard. The pavilion where Qinchuan is invited to drink is in the outer courtyard, surrounded by pond rockeries.
Now it is the beginning of August, Lingzhou Mansion is in the south by the sea, the summer has just gone, this situation and this scene, is in response to a poem:
Away from the summer clouds, the cool breeze rises.
Wang Fu took out a jar of peach blossom wine, and asked his subordinates to prepare lamb meat.
Ying Ning and Shuzhen were on the edge of the pavilion, and the little girl was not noisy, looking at the lotus flowers in the pond, her expression was quite cheerful.
Wang Fu said embarrassedly: "Brother Qin Xian, I have been studying hard these days and sent all the servants to the old man's side. Otherwise, you will definitely find a servant to help you take care of the children. You are also hard enough, to take the hospital exam, and you have to take the child, what about my brother and sister? ”
He is a self-acquaintance, and he looks at Qin Chuan pleasing to the eye, so he naturally chatters with Qin Chuan.
If it weren't for the exam, with his character, where would he invite Qin Chuan to drink peach blossom wine, directly remove the peach word, and first pull Qin Chuan to listen to the music in the hook column.
Qin Chuan then explained the origin of Ying Ning, but hid the identity of the fox girl.
Wang Fu was a sentimental person, and he almost shed tears, "It turns out that this kid is so pitiful, but it's hard for you Brother Qin Xian." The Holy Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, and I have to ask someone to help you commend your deeds. ”
Qin Chuan naturally refused: "The little brother has been quiet since he was a child, he doesn't like to be lively, Brother Wang's kindness, the little brother understands it." ”
Wang Fu hates people who diligently seek fame, and feels that such people are hypocritical and pretentious, and they should not be deeply acquainted, Qin Chuan's words are very much in line with his temperament.
He was white, "I love to hear what Brother Qin Xian says, and I am not a person who likes to chase fame and fortune as a brother." However, I had no intention of being rich, but who knew that wealth was forcing people to come. My family has a big business, and for the sake of my ancestors and parents, I have to devote myself to the field and seek fame. It's just that I didn't want it in my heart, and I took the exam a few times, but I coped with things, and I failed repeatedly. This time, I took the exam at the same time as my brother, and I didn't want to fall behind my brother, so I was bound to win this college exam. You and I encourage each other! ”
He got a wolf's skin, and he should have passed the exam this time, so he let out big words. And he didn't pass the show nine times, he wasn't in a hurry, and the old man should be in a hurry, maybe he had already done a good job.
Anyway, I'll go to the old man tonight to express my determination and let the old man watch it.
When the time comes, put a few cruel words, and if he misses this time, he will not live. Don't believe the old man, don't arrange!
The two drank several glasses and staggered each other.
At this time, a servant came to his side and whispered, "Young master, someone from the school outside has come to pay a visit." ”
The school officer is the main examiner of the children's examination, and it can be said that the talents of a province are all from his disciples.
Wang Fu was thinking about this, and when he was drunk, he thought: "The old man really understands me too well, and knows that I don't like to do those eight-strand articles, so give me some advice as soon as possible." It's just that I haven't heard that the old man can have anything to do with the school? Is it bad to come over in broad daylight like this? Although I have the strength to show off my talent in the exam, if I pass the exam, isn't this gossiping? Forget it, forget it, the body is not afraid of the shadow, and people can't be seen when they come. ”
"Take me there."
Servant: "Young Master, people didn't come to you, they said that there was a guest from our house, but the head of the county test, and Lord Tixue was interested in him and wanted to see him." ”
"Who's that guest?"
The servant's mouth turned towards Qin Chuan.
Wang Fu was surprised: "Brother Qin Xian, you are the head of the county test, why don't you tell me." ”
Wang Fu's hometown of the scientific expedition fell in Guobei County, Huaning Prefecture next door. Guobei County and Lingzhou Mansion are next to each other, and Qinjia Village to Guobei County is actually about the same distance as going to Lingzhou Prefecture. It's not that he likes to be a person from Guobei County, but Nie Zhixian in Guobei County next door is his uncle.
Of course, he was able to pass the county test this time, all by his own strength. However, it just so happened that my uncle was also the prefect of Huaning Mansion in the same year, and he had a very good relationship.
Thinking that he is so outstanding in his family, it is impossible for my uncle not to mention it.
After all, drinking is something that needs to be talked about.
Wang Fu asked himself, he has always been the central figure in the family.
Regardless of whether the prefect of Huaning knows him Wang Fu or not, he will definitely be impressed by his literary talent.
It's just that he is a literary talent, and he is not the head of the county test, although it may be that his uncle lowered his ranking in order to avoid suspicion.
But Wang Fu felt that although his knowledge was good, there was still a gap between him and the head of the Lingzhou Mansion's government examination. Because Lingzhou Mansion is a provincial governor, the style of study is very prosperous, and it is the most difficult place to take the exam in this province.
It is not a simple matter to be the head of Lingzhou Mansion.
I didn't expect Brother Qin Xian to be a great talent.
Wang Fu's heart flashed with thought, and he sighed.
Qin Chuan replied to him slowly, "It's just luck, I hit the head of the case in a daze, it's really not enough to worry about it." What's more, after passing the hospital examination, it can be regarded as a talent. If you don't pass the hospital exam, you're just a child. ”
Wang Fu laughed: "Virtuous brother, don't be modest, how can there be a person who can't pass the first exam in Lingzhou Mansion, let's go and meet the people in Nati Academy first, don't make people wait for a long time." ”
Qin Chuan shook his head, "Brother Wang, no, please help me reject that person, just say that I don't know Master Tixue, and now it's the college exam, and I don't want to put Master Tixue and myself in a suspicious place." After all, people's words are terrible, and you must not be careless. ”
Before Qin Chuan woke up, he was naturally smart and studious, and his literary talent was indeed enough to show off his talents in the examination, and even raise people, but he was only the head of the county government test, and he was somewhat exquisite. It's unlikely to fall on someone of his origin. He can be the head of the case, in addition to the brilliant article and the ability to convince the public, there must also be some unknown games, and the head of the case falls on him.
At this time, suddenly someone from the school came to Wang Fu's house to invite him over, but I was afraid that it was not from the intention of mentioning the school, and even the person who came might not be the person who mentioned the school, and there would definitely be trouble when he saw it.
Even if you are successful in the exam, you will be taken out to talk about things.
If he doesn't see it, even if he really offends the school, he will at least give him a reputation for showing off his talent because of his scruples about Shilin Qingyi.
After all, mentioning school is a clear stream, and I have to pay attention to the reputation of Shilin.
Wang Fu also reacted immediately, even if he really sent someone to invite him, he couldn't see it, Qin Chuan saw it more thoroughly than him.
It seems that most of the people who mention this school are fake identities, who is so bold?
Wang Fu had to think deeply, for fear that this matter would implicate his family.
But the man must not see him, and even he cannot see him, so he sends a servant to call the butler, and explains it clearly, and must politely refuse the person, and even more so in public.
After Wang Fu finished instructing, let the housekeeper do as he said.
Looking at Qin Chuan again, his expression was calm, and he looked at the other party more and more in his heart.
Qin Chuan thought in his heart: Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are disputes in the world, after all, you can't escape, you still have to strengthen your own strength.
It would be nice to have another wolf.
