Huang Liuye left satisfied, and Wang Xianling also smiled from ear to ear.

Chen Ping, who watched the whole process, was shocked.

Although it is only in a small county town, a county magistrate who has not been promoted for seven or eight years, and a businessman who can only live in the local area for half his life.

The first encounter between them was so exciting.

This is not only a good person, but also a pretending to be crazy and stupid, it is simply a human heart!

Seeing that his disciple looked like he was in a state of disengagement, Ye Lao slapped Chen Ping behind his back.

"Hey! What a daze! ”

Chen Ping, who was frightened, jumped up on the spot, like a disturbed wild bird.

Chen Ping complained pitifully and complainingly: "Teacher, you are all old, and you are also a respected elder. But with such a temperament, how can you be more out of the way than Ye Chongwen. ”

Regarding the small complaints of the closed disciples, Ye Lao disagreed.

Instead, he said with a smile: "What the teacher expects most now is that you don't have to be so calm, and it's better to be more detached than me, an old man." ”

These words are really ridiculing Chen Ping.

You're a seven-year-old kid, and you're more of an old man than me.

"There are too many things on your mind, but not only will you be unable to sleep at night, but you will also be overwhelmed!"

Ye Lao's reminder and worry, Chen Ping understood.

But it's really hard to be like a child who doesn't care about the world and turns a deaf ear to everything around him.

Chen Ping did not think about it in this regard, but continued with his previous train of thought.

asked curiously: "To say that Huang Liuye, as a businessman, is naturally afraid of officials, so he repeatedly gave in to Wang County's order, it seems to make sense." ”

"But why, I just think there's something strange about this?"

"If you really want to be so afraid of officials, then how did he start from scratch and accumulate such a huge business before, it is impossible that he has never been saddened by the government before, right?"

Ye Lao wanted to interrupt his train of thought and not let him put too much thought into this kind of thing, this is not something that a child of his age can understand, nor should he understand.

This is just pretending to be joking, wanting to provoke his nature as a child, but I didn't expect him to be so calm.

But now, if he can't solve Chen Ping's doubts, I'm afraid he will have trouble sleeping today.

So, Ye Lao took Chen Ping to the back courtyard of the inner ya, and analyzed it while visiting the garden and enjoying the flowers.

"Actually, this Huang Liuye is not afraid of officials at all!"

Ye Lao's words directly made Chen Ping dumbfounded, and he was speechless for a while.

Huang Liuye is not afraid of officials!

Not to mention that he was just in front of Wang Xianling, and he couldn't wait to be like a licking dog, almost despicable.

Before that, Huang Liuye created a huge family business after making his fortune.

But he still took the initiative to come to the door, and cheekily went to cling to the Huang family's concubine, and didn't even dare to sort the children of the same generation as the concubine according to age.

What else can be said for all this?

Isn't it because the Huang family's house has a Huang Sanye who is in the county.

Chen Ping couldn't figure it out for a while, and looked at Ye Lao with a gaze for help.

Ye Lao smiled with satisfaction, the disciple is studious, which is the greatest blessing for being a teacher.

"This person is deep and cunning, even I can't guess it, but through his words and deeds, I can conclude that he is not afraid of officials."

"If you are really afraid of officials, how can you dare to offend Huang Xiancheng?"

"Could it be that Wang County Order, can he still be a county commander in Yongshun County for a lifetime?"

Although he was with Huang Xiancheng before, he did not offend Wang Xianling, and if Huang Xianling fell, he could still stay out of the matter.

But now that he is connected with Wang Xianling, the nature is different, if something happens to Wang Xianling, he will definitely die with cold lips and teeth.

Ye Lao didn't understand the reason, he just looked up at the dark clouds churning in the sky, and sighed lightly, "I hope everything is the same, and it's better for the small Yongshun County not to experience wind and rain!" ”

After that, without waiting for Chen Ping to continue to ask, he directly changed his appearance, and scolded with a straight face: "Where do you have the time to think about those who have it or not?" This level of things is not something you should ponder. ”

"You calculate, after coming out for so many days, how much homework has been missed!"

"This is what Wang Xianling specially found for you, the poems and articles made by the prodigies in the past generations, take a good look."

Ye Lao picked up the book on the stone table in the courtyard as he spoke, and handed it to Chen Ping.

was suddenly reprimanded, and Chen Ping was also extremely wronged.

In the past few days, he has been working hard for official business, helping Ye Lao and Wang Xiancheng to give advice, how many urgent needs have been solved, and there is no reward, how can I provoke a scolding.

Although he knew that Ye Lao did this in order to let himself spend less time on other things and concentrate on the preparation of the boy's move.

But Chen Ping still couldn't help complaining, "The teacher misunderstood me, since Chongwen sent all the lecture notes in the academy, I have worked hard every day." ”

Don't look at Chen Ping these days, he has been helping Ye Lao check and file account books, and occasionally come to the county government to prepare for donations.

But he really hasn't put down his reading for a day.

Not to mention that there is a teacher by his side, and he can't be idle for a day every day.

Even Wang Xianling, as soon as he had free time, came to teach Chen Ping cramming.

Under the two of them chasing and intercepting in turn, it can be said that in the past half a month, Chen Ping has done much more homework than when he was in the academy.

Ye Lao blew his beard and glared at him: "The homework I did before was to prepare for the county exam and to test the children. ”

"Now, you don't want to take the Tongsheng exam, but you want to go directly to the Tongziju exam!"

"Tongziju has to compete with the prodigies all over the world, the pressure is not less than the test, but it's not just enough to simply read a book, after facing countless famous children and eunuchs, are you really ready?"

Hearing this, Chen Ping's eyes suddenly straightened, and he really felt that he was covered with a thousand catties of heavy burden.

The matter of the boy's move was mentioned by Wang Xianling, but Chen Ping did not take it to heart.

Because he feels that this matter is still far away from himself, and the chance of successfully passing the selection is not too big.

As we all know, as a shortcut to the imperial examination, Tongziju has long been regarded as meat on a plate by wealthy families.

He is a poor boy from the countryside, and it is already a miracle that he can mix it up.

Their quota is not enough for themselves, where can they be allowed, a country child with a mediocre background can be mixed in.

Could it be that there has been progress in this matter?

As far as he knew, all Wang Xianling could do was hand over the initial selection list to the state capital.

After the state government has screened it once, it will be submitted upwards,

Finally, the prodigies from all states were convened to gather in the capital and pass the preliminary and re-examination of the Guozijian.

In the end, in front of the Son of Heaven, a palace test was held in order to obtain the Jinshi background.

Wang Xianling's recommendation is at most to let Chen Ping enter the primary list, which can only be regarded as having a slim hope.

With such a little hope, Chen Ping didn't have any hope at all, and at this time, Ye Lao suddenly brought it up, could it be ......

In fact, Ye Lao also had the same doubts before.

According to his original thoughts, he didn't plan to let Chen Ping participate in the boys' lift.

Because the name of a prodigy is essentially a burden, although Chen Ping is intelligent, he is not from a famous family and has no foundation.

Every scholar who bears the name of a prodigy, if it is a smooth journey in the imperial examination, it is fine.

If you encounter setbacks, you will inevitably suffer heavier blows and pressures than other peers.

studied in the academy safely, and then went to the county and government exams step by step with Ye Chongwen and them.

Although this road is a little slower, it is fortunate that it is stable, and I can take care of it myself.

However, in the past two days of the county government, after a detailed discussion with Wang Xianling, Ye Lao's attitude has changed somewhat.
