When the old man came back from the yamen, the old lady had basically arranged everything.

When he listened to the tail in confusion and learned that Shi Ding was going to collude with Shui Rong and contact the Tusi in the southwest to fight against the imperial court, he was almost so frightened that he closed his breath.

"Grandpa Tian, this is a big crime of the Nine Clans, was Shi Ding's brain kicked by a donkey?"

People who have never spoken foul language for most of their lives, for the first time, they really want to go to Goulan to learn a few rude words, so that they can greet Shi Ding's ancestors......

Forget it, that's also his mother's ancestor.

"Mother, Shi Ding must not stay, let alone keep Lan Yatou and them, even our family has to eat and hang up."

For three days, you should be impressed.

What's more, the political master is just a little roundabout, and he still has political acumen.

He sighed and raised his hand to rub Baoyu's brain.

"Baoyu, if you encounter these things in the future, you must tell your father earlier."

didn't take a big stick to take Baoyu, although his son was a little rougher, but his original intention was good. Worried that the old lady would not be able to stand it when she heard this, she was worried about herself for several days.

Finally, I have the responsibility of a man!

The growth of his son has made Mr. Zheng different, he did not hide in case of trouble like a few years ago, but took the initiative to take responsibility.

I saw that the old man pursed his lips and thought for a moment, and said to the old lady and the old man: "Although Son-in-law Liu is in the name of the Liguo Mansion, he is finally younger, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to suppress those arrogant generals in the southwest." I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning to meet me, and ask for an errand to go south together......"

"What? Cannot! ”

The old lady was shocked when she heard this, and immediately opened her mouth to stop it.

On the contrary, the old man pardoned his brother and nodded secretly, but he was unforgiving, and scared: "The second child, the son-in-law of the second girl is not going to the kind of flowery land in the south of the Yangtze River, he not only wants to dispose of Shi Ding and others, but also has to go to the 100,000 mountains in the southwest to negotiate with those toasts." Are you sure you're going? ”

For a long time in the prosperous area of Gyeonggi, the 100,000 mountains in the southwest are places where prisoners are exiled for the nobles of the capital.

Old Master Zheng's face turned pale when he heard this, but thinking that this matter was related to the second daughter-in-law's mother's family, and it was originally something that he should worry about in the second room, Master Zheng gritted his heart and nodded firmly.

"I'll go! I can't rest assured that this matter will be handed over to someone else. Besides, with me, the second-class member of the imperial court, the father of the imperial concubine, and the second master of Rongguo Mansion, those toasts can also see the sincerity of the imperial court. ”

These words made everyone look at the old man with admiration, and to negotiate with the group of toasts who rebelled at every turn, this is a really fatal errand, and others can't hide from it.

"Second brother, I won't stop you if you want to go, but you have to bring some people over......"

"Boss, you ......"

As soon as the old man said this, the old lady was anxious to reprimand with a white face, but after only saying three words, she sighed, leaned back in the chair again, and let the two brothers discuss it themselves.

She is old, and she doesn't know how long she can last, and her two sons can discuss and handle the affairs of the family together, isn't it exactly what she has always hoped for?

"You two are going to discuss it for yourselves, and there is only one thing...... Dick, you must come back safely! ”

Both of them nodded and said that their mother was relieved.

Master Pardon continued to talk about his plan, the emperor will not only negotiate to appease this hand, Yunnan can so quickly and smoothly implement the reform of the land and return to the stream, that is the deterrent of the army of Mu Wangfu.

Whether it is Guangxi or Guizhou, it has been the most powerful place in Tusi since ancient times, and the local health centers do not have much strength.

Therefore, for some people who are bent on following the path of the anti-thief, the emperor will never let them continue to live the life of the emperor.

"Tomorrow I will enter the palace with you, Your Majesty will definitely arrange for the army to secretly go south, and you must always pay attention at that time. You bring half of the soldiers in the house with you, and kill them when you should kill them, and you are not allowed to leave your hands behind......"

……

The old lady's letter and Xiangyun's letter were personally collected by Jia Cong on the second day, and they were brought to the Dragon Guard, which was secretly sent to Jinling through the special communication channel of the Dragon Guard.

The lord got up early in the morning and went to the palace with the lord.

Not to mention how the brothers talked to the emperor in the palace, I think the emperor will definitely be very happy that the Jia family is as loyal and interesting as ever.

After he left Cao Jiugong, he took a carriage to He's house to meet Baochai.

Today he is still busy, and the gods are counting the descendants of the mountain, waiting for them to kick the hall.

Just after the end of the day, the country was already crowded.

To be honest, Jia Cong has never participated in the poetry club and literary meeting, and he has no impression of Sun Shenxing.

But Sun Shenxing's reputation in Shilin circles and even among businessmen is still very great, especially businessmen, which firm doesn't need to be a scholar?

As long as the name of a disciple of the descendants of the gods is hung, the major trading houses are rushing to ask for it.

Jia Cong is okay, he is the marquis of the country, and he has the reputation of Liuyuan and Diwenqu, and the big guys are just talking about one or two, saying that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

But Baochai is different, although she has won the reputation of some talented women because she is in charge of the Xue family's family business, compared with Sun Shenxing, it is really too far behind......

"I'm betting on Sun Rusheng!"

"Okay, ten taels of Sun Sheng, buy it and leave...... One pays one into five, come, the bill is ready! ”

Belch......

Jia Cong looked towards a circle of people gathering, and sure enough, it was an old acquaintance, and the palace royal Shi Fang said quietly.

"Hey, Senior Fang doesn't have to sit on duty today?"

Crash!

Fang Jingyan looked embarrassed when she saw Jia Cong.

He swept all the gold and silver beans on the table into a pocket on the hem of his clothes, and then raised his feet and came to Jia Cong.

"Coincidentally, I took a leave of absence today when I had nothing to do, and came to see Yongfeng Hou's great power...... Earn some pocket money by the way. ”

I believe you're a ghost!

Jia Cong didn't believe half of this sentence, the position of palace imperial history, Fang Jingyan sat for ten years.

is obviously conscientious and conscientious, and his official reputation is good, but he just doesn't move his nest.

On the contrary, it is a sharp rise in the false title, and now he has been a ruler, a doctor in the middle of the court, and a big official from the second grade.

What about the imperial history?

The full name is the history of the palace servant, from the non-permanent official title of the seven products.

According to the ancient system, the palace imperial history is in charge of the ceremony of the palace worship.

Where the winter solstice, the Yuan Zheng Dynasty meeting, it will be served to ascend to the palace.

If the suburbs are worshipped and patrolled, they will be picketed in the halogen book and will be obeyed by the gate, and the cultural relics will be corrected if they are in deficit.

Wherever there are two capitals, they are divided into the left and right patrols, and each of them observes any lawlessness in his patrol.

In other words, Lao Fang is the shadow of the Imperial History in the Imperial Palace, he can manage everything, and he only needs to be responsible to the emperor, and he is stunned by anyone.

Thinking about it, this gambling saint dares to sit in the village and set up gambling on the Fengtian Palace, and share the spoils with the emperor, and it is normal for him not to be promoted for ten years.

After all, a proper imperial henchman.

"It's all your own people, don't hide it before Fang......"

Jia Cong took out the money bag and stuffed it into Fang Jingyan's arms: "I'll buy me and Sister Xue to win!" ”

Fang Jingyan's teeth hurt, this kid ......

"This time, Master Hou should not press it, a small business, I can't afford to lose!"

What are you kidding, others may have been bluffed by Sun Shenxing's name as a god operator, but who is Fang Jingyan?

What is the level of the country's arithmetic masters, and he knows best who is high and who is low.

Not to mention Jia Cong's wonder, this little daughter-in-law of the He family, that is a genius that Lin Ruhai admires.

Sun Shenxing? God Operator?

I'm afraid that after today, his abacus beads will never be turned again.

Fang Jingyan returned Jia Cong's purse, pulled it aside, and whispered: "Your Majesty asked me to keep an eye on it, the capital has been lively in the past three days, and a large group of people are going around in tandem, so they have to push Sun Shenxing to the position of the Minister of Finance." In today's competition, even if Hou Ye wins, they will find all kinds of reasons......"

"For example, the weather is too hot, which affects the abacus beads of the god operator?"

Burst......

Baochai covered her mouth and smiled, and most of the tension in her heart dissipated.

Fang Jingyan looked serious: "Master Hou, I'm not joking. I have heard a lot of news in the past few days, and they have already discussed it, if Sun Shenxing loses to Hou Ye, they will say that since Yongfeng Hou has won, then Yongfeng Hou should be in charge of the household. If His Majesty talks about Hou Ye's age, it is just right, Sun Shenxing can go to the household department first, and when Hou Ye grows up, he will abdicate and make way for Xian, which can be regarded as occupying the seat for Hou Ye first......"

Ha?

Good calculation!

The emperor and the lord never thought of letting Jia Cong enter the main household department and become the minister of finance in Great Xia.

Although the financial minister is a joke, it also bears a name.

Except for Ganluo, who in the past generations would let a young man worship him?

"If Sun Shenxing wins the Hou Ye, then Sun Shenxing will win the Great Xia Wenkui, who is born to know and who is a mortal scholar, who can be more suitable than Sun Shenxing for the title of Hubu Shangshu?"

Speaking of this, Fang Jingyan had to admire the shamelessness of this group of people.

They are both reasonable and beneficial to win or lose, how can Sun Shenxing be the most suitable financial minister, right?

"Heh......"

Jia Cong looked at the crowd gradually gathering on the side of the high platform from a distance, all of them were wide-sleeved robes, a group of elegant gentlemen.

"What they think is so beautiful, and they don't think about it, if Sun Shenxing loses to the Xue family's sister, does he still have the face to continue to say that he is a god operator?"

Baochai's face was stunned, to be honest, she was not sure.

"Brother Cong has so much confidence in me?"

Before Jia Cong could answer, He Chong, who had arranged his grandmother, mother and other family members, walked quickly, bowed to Fang Jingyan, and said with a smile: "Grandfather also said that Madame's chances of winning are not small. ”

"It's extreme, looking at it below, Sun Shenxing's arithmetic ability is more in books. Xue Yuanwai is more focused on reality, and practice can produce true knowledge! ”

Fang Jingyan was an official in the same dynasty as Sun Shenxing, and when Sun Shenxing was in the household department, instead of focusing on the errand of the household department, he mixed with the official every day, talking about misleading the country!

I'm afraid that Sun Shenxing's arithmetic, he himself has almost forgotten it.

was praised by three people in a row, and the nervousness in Baochai's heart was greatly relieved.

She curtsed to the three of them: "Then I will go out and fight once today, and it is not in vain that everyone trusts me so much." ”

Dangdangdang......

Several bells rang, and the noisy campus of Guozijian University gradually quieted down.

The person who presided over the competition today was Li Shouzhong, the priest of the country.

On the stage sat seven Gyeonggi Confucians, all of whom were famous, talented and of good character.

On both sides of the high platform are the three people who are going to fight today.

Headed by the left, there was an old man with gray hair, with a serious face, his eyes narrowed slightly, and after glancing at Jia Cong and Baochai, he turned his gaze to the clear blue sky.

"This old man despises us!"

It may be too much to say that he despises them, but Sun Shenxing definitely doesn't look down on the two of them.

Jia Cong took a pen and wrote four words on the paper and handed it to Baochai.

"Quick fix?" Baochai whispered.

Jia Cong nodded and explained: "I wanted to save face for him, but this old man is too proud to look at us." I am a prince, and Sister Bao is also a member of the household department, and she is an official of the imperial court, why does he look down on people? ”

"How can you solve it quickly? If it is a competition, there will naturally be people who will come up with questions, and there are no more than those kinds of arithmetic questions. He is a master of arithmetic, and it is impossible not to ......"

Baochai's worry Jia Cong naturally understood, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he whispered: "The first scene is an appetizer, and our focus is on the second game, asking each other's questions!" ”

……

Arithmetic, as long as it is a student who wants to participate in the scientific examination, is basically no stranger.

Guozijian has a Ming arithmetic department, and the textbooks in it have 12 arithmetic scriptures.

For example, "Zhou Ji Sutra", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Island Sutra", "Sun Tzu Sutra", "Zhang Qiujian Sutra", "Five Cao Sutra", "Five Classics of Arithmetic", etc., all have a very detailed summary of the arithmetic technique.

Sun Shenxing, who opened a college, naturally memorized the twelve arithmetic scriptures backwards, and the first arithmetic fifty questions, he could think of the source of this question at a glance.

Multiplication, conjunction, increase and decrease, multiplication, diameter (meridian) division, approximation, etc., these common questions in the Ming arithmetic subject are just changed numbers, and the answer can be basically calculated in the brain.

He picked up his pen and wrote the answer on the paper, but Jia Cong, who was accustomed to using Arabic numerals and addition, subtraction, multiplication and division symbols, had to translate the literary title before he could calculate it on paper.

I have to say that the ancestors are really good, and many of these questions are more difficult than the math papers of the college entrance examination in the previous life.

"Today there is a pond square, and the center of it is born. One foot out of the water, lead the leaf to the shore, suitable for the shore. Ask the depth of the water and the length of the water. ”

Jia Cong scratched his brain, the Pythagorean theorem, let's do the math!

Whew......

The next question: "Today, there is a bamboo high one zhang, the end of the fold to the ground, go to the three feet, ask the folder how high is it?" ”

It's the Pythagorean theorem again, it seems that the person who wrote the question was involved in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic"!

As long as the question is translated, Jia Cong's answer speed will be much faster.

Soon, he not only answered faster and faster, but also gradually caught up with Sun Shenxing, and overtook him in the final sprint.

When he finished answering the fifty questions in his hand, he rubbed his wrist that was a little sore, turned his head to look, and saw that Baochai had already placed the test papers neatly and was sitting on his lap.

Well?

Baochai saw Jia Cong looking at her in surprise, so he nodded at him and smiled.

The girl of the Xue family, how can she not learn arithmetic and learn the Twelve Classics?

She Xue Baochai slept with "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" when she was five years old!

Dangdangdang......

The question was issued by the teaching of the Guozi Supervision and Accounting Museum, and before today's competition, the test papers were stored on the third floor of the Guozi Supervision Library Building, and were guarded by several upright Confucians, so there would be no missing questions.

When the scholars and Confucian students in the audience looked at the first public test paper and scratched their brains, the three people on the stage turned in the papers in about the same time.

Good guys, how do these three people grow their brains?

While everyone was anxiously waiting, the seven great Confucians quickly finished reviewing the three papers.

Of course, the answer was prepared in advance, and the seven Confucians just reviewed the answer and gave a score.

"Sun Shenxing, forty-eight of the fifty questions are answered correctly and two are wrong!"

I saw Sun Shenxing frowning, quite dissatisfied, and I didn't know if it was for himself or the seven judges.

"Jia Cong, forty-eight of the fifty questions are answered correctly, and two are wrong!"

Well?

Am I going to get two questions wrong?

Jia Cong was a little unconvinced, although there were a few questions that were quite difficult, but it didn't make sense that he would be wrong after careful checking.

After a while, the judges will send the answers, and you must check them!

Jia Cong seemed to have returned to the exam in his previous life at this time, and began to wait anxiously for the answer, and Li Shouzhong finally took out the last test paper.

"Xue Yuwu, fifty ...... All right! ”
