The Shuntianfu Township Examination is about to start.

The candidates entered the venue, as if Zhang Zhou was the main examiner of this township examination, so that there were many more people who came to take the exam than usual.

"Are there so many people in Jingshi?"

After Li Zhaoxian, he followed his family who came to send the exam, and when he arrived outside the Tribute Courtyard of Shuntian Mansion, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the scene of a sea of people.

The servant said, "Maybe you can take the exam, it's all here." ”

"Are there any other people who don't take the test? Just because the main examiner is Mr. Zhang this time, they all came to join in the fun? Are you from Guozijian and have all come? ”

The biggest difference between the township examination in Shuntianfu and other places is that there are many students of Guozijian in the township examination here, and there are many Yin Gong among them, and they are not very knowledgeable, such as Li Zhaoxian...... In the eyes of the orthodox students who have passed the children's examination and the academy examination, he can actually be equated with the second generation of officials who do not learn and have no skills.

As he was talking, a group of people came from the opposite side, and Li Zhaoxian saw it from afar and led people over.

"Middle." The person who came was Xie Qian's second son, Xie Pi.

Xie Pi is much younger than Li Zhaoxian, he has just turned twenty, and he is in his prime, while Li Zhaoxian looks very old because he has experienced a lot of vicissitudes of life.

Xie Pi was also very happy to see Li Zhaoxian, and said, "I never wanted to meet here, but there is news about the exam?" Let's take a look at it. ”

Even if the two of them usually know a lot of friends in the capital, they seem to avoid getting close to them before the exam.

It is also because both of them relied on their father's brilliance that they entered the Guozijian to study, and they did not pass the examination of the students, so they came to participate in the township examination.

Li Zhaoxian said: "Except for the main examiners are Mr. Zhang and Yang Hanlin, I don't know about it. ”

Xie Pi said: "I heard that Brother Li, you have met Cai Guogong before, it is really enviable, if this is the case, this big competition, do you want to get closer to the heart?" Will the article ...... Are they all the same? ”

Li Zhaoxian said with a smile: "Although Mr. Zhang is a master in mental learning, I believe that in the selection of talents, he will not be so biased, and we can do our best to do a good job." I wonder how well you prepared for the exam? ”

"It's okay, I've been bothered by family matters lately." Xie Pi said this, with a little regret on his face.

After all, Xie Pi has just gotten married, and there are a lot of things at home.

Young people, when it comes to dealing with emotional issues, are not as "experienced" as Li Zhaoxian, and Li Zhaoxian's attitude towards family affairs is basically one, that is...... Machismo, do whatever I want.

"Uchiko has been pregnant recently, and I'm also tired of family affairs." When Li Zhaoxian mentioned this, his face was a little regretful, but he couldn't help but smile.

"Congratulations." Xie Pi said, "Mr. Li will be very happy when he finds out. ”

"Yes, my father is also very relieved about this, saying that I have finally done a job, which makes me embarrassed."

The two chatted as if they were close friends, and walked in the direction of the Gongyuan.

I met a lot of classmates and friends along the way, and I just took a picture with them.

"Is this a dog's eye looking down on people? Why do I think they seem to look down on our learning? Li Zhaoxian cares more about the eyes of others.

Seeing that those classmates who are usually good, they will be very cold to them, and naturally they will be a little more dissatisfied.

Xie Pi said: "The world is like this, you and I are all because of our ancestors, and we are usually fine, but when we meet Dabi like this, how can they be willing to discuss too much with us?" If we can make the high school rankings, they will naturally change their eyes. ”

Li Zhaoxian sighed: "People's hearts are not ancient! Even if I wait, I'm afraid that I will be said that it is because of the relationship with the examiner, and all kinds of criticism will come. ”

Xie Pi said with a smile: "Iron still needs to be hard. Congratulations to Brother Li on your ability to make it to high school. ”

"Each other, each other."

Li Zhaoxian also repaid Xie Pi's kindness.

……

……

The two did not enter the same dragon gate after separation.

Li Zhaoxian's servant said: "Young Master, is the son of the Xie family really knowledgeable?" His reputation was not prominent before, but he seemed to be full of confidence when he was so young. ”

Li Zhaoxian said: "What, don't you think I have confidence?" ”

"The little one didn't mean that, it just said...... Before that, Mr. Xie was inconspicuous. The servant said.

Li Zhaoxian sighed with emotion: "My father once mentioned that Yizhong's knowledge is not shallow, and he has his own set of learning, saying that he may have a champion talent in the future, although I think this is more out of praise for Yizhong's father, but since there is a father who is the champion, how can there be a son who is a champion?" Good family background. ”

The servant said, "Then our family is also very good." ”

"It's different."

Li Zhaoxian obviously didn't think that his father was much better than Xie Qian in terms of talent and learning.

Although his father has a high reputation in the academic world, it is because his father likes these reputations and is willing to move between the scholars.

"It's inevitable that it's hard these days, and I can't leave the thick clothes for me, and I can't leave the tribute house in advance. If I have a three-long and two-short thing in it, ask someone to ask me and take me out. ”

After all, Li Zhaoxian was born in a sick number.

suddenly had to take the township examination one after another, and he knew that he might not be able to endure the hardships inside.

"Yes."

The servant answered.

Li Zhaoxian said: "If you can win this list, then in the future, Mr. Zhang can also be regarded as my teacher, and it will be easier to learn under him in the future." ”

"Young Master, you want to worship Cai Guogong, I'm afraid that the master will not agree." Servant reminder.

"Why not be taught by a learned man? My father won't ask me much about me, just leave me everything that should be prepared, and you can go back first. Remember to tell your family that everything is fine on my side, so they don't have to worry about it! ”

"Yes."

……

……

The Shuntianfu Township Examination was successfully held.

As soon as the questions came out on the first day, Zhu Youzhi got the questions of the first township test here, and then Zhu Youzhu asked people to send them to Wenhua Palace, so that his son Zhu Houzhao could participate in this exam at the same time.

"Father, what do you mean by this, let me write an article? Is it to help the seedlings grow? ”

Compared with the rigor of the Gongyuan examination, the internal examination of the Wenhua Hall was very loose.

However, the Gongyuan side wanted to cheat but couldn't, and Zhu Houzhao almost didn't have a chance to cheat, because the eunuchs around him couldn't help him write this article, and the cultural level of these eunuchs was not as high as him.

He tried to find someone to come back and be a gunman, but he couldn't find it.

Gao Feng said: "Your Highness, please answer quickly, say that before dark, why do you have to write two articles and hand them in." If you can't pay it......"

"Punished, aren't you?" Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips, "Love is not punished!" The master has been punished so much, and he has long understood the true meaning, that is, as long as he doesn't commit it in the hands of his father, even if I hand in an empty paper? Since there are no speakers here today, I will take it easy for a while, and then write a few articles for him after I have a nap at noon! Who's afraid of whom? ”

Zhu Houzhao was not in a hurry at all.

Isn't it just writing articles?

Anyway, the articles I write are not really going to take the exam, and if the writing is good or bad, I can be happy.

Did my old father think that I really had the ability to compare with those candidates?

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's better for you to answer first and then rest." Gao Feng hurriedly reminded.

"Who has the final say here? My father didn't force me to say that I had to finish writing today, they would take the first township exam, and they would have to take the exam for three days, so why should I finish it in one day? You can't be so strong, right? Take the map, I'll study the situation in the northwest again, I haven't made a name for it for so long, what is new, that's it! Wait for the master to go to the battlefield in the future, and make a big move for him in three days! ”

……

……

Jin Yiwei, Beizhen Fusi.

Guo Ang, the pacification envoy, was listening to Sun Shangqi's report, although Sun Shangqi was still Guo Ang's subordinate, but Guo Ang also vaguely heard that Sun Shangqi was going to replace him, so he didn't dare to despise this person.

“…… With the Huang family as a breakthrough, the Zhao family's sin has been basically given. However, the Cai Huang family also proposed to meet her mother's family, saying that there were some arrangements for Cai Guogong, and I wonder if she should be given some accommodation? ”

Sun Shangqi finally asked for instructions.

Guo Ang said: "What did Cai Guogong say? ”

Sun Shangqi said: "Before Cai Guogong entered the Tribute Academy, it was only easy for her to meet her father in prison, and she was not allowed to do other things, it is estimated that she wanted to master the Huang clan and wanted to stir up the wind and rain. ”

"Then you should consult Commander Yu Mou."

Guo Ang obviously doesn't want to make decisions on his own in this kind of matter.

"It's such a trivial matter, if you want to come here, it's better not to bother the commander of the army." Sun Shangqi means, you can decide this matter, I listen to you.

Guo Ang said: "Sun Qianhu doesn't have to be humble, you are Cai Guogong's person, or someone who has been injured for official business, you are a hero." What you say is good, if you think, the Cai Huang clan will not make any trouble, and you can decide a little thing yourself. ”

"That ......"

Sun Shangqi was a little hesitant.

Now the boss gives himself face, which is not necessarily a good thing.

It seems that he has a backstage, which will make his boss jealous, but Zhang Zhou is not his own person after all, he has just done something for Zhang Zhou.

"Over there in the East Factory, Gonggong Li also asked Sun Qianhu about you alone, and after learning that you are shrewd and capable, he also wants to promote you...... You're the only one. ”

When Sun Shangqi heard this, he lowered his head even more.

The so-called ability to do things is to be clever.

Ability to get things done...... That's the need to put your mind into action, which requires a deep background.

Guo Ang means, don't look at you as a subordinate, but your resources and background are much stronger than mine, and you have a higher voice than me in matters related to Jinyiwei's handling, and you decide things better than me to assert.

"Try to do things well and live up to the cultivation of Lord Guo." Sun Shangqi still has to show his respect for Guo Ang.

Guo Ang smiled: "Don't be like this, if you have something to discuss in the future, consult each other in detail, and if it involves the case, you will have to report to Cai Guogong in the future." Just remember to say a nice word to your brothers. ”

"Yes, in front of Cai Guogong, it is natural to make the credit of Master Guo clear." Sun Shangqi said.

"Let's go, the brothers have also wanted to have a banquet for you recently, but you Shenlong can't see the end of the head, it's rare to go back to Beijing, Cai Guogong is still in the Gongyuan, so let the brothers have the opportunity to express it to you, saying that the matter of Yongping Mansion still depends on your injury, and the tone is set. You are a great dedicator. Brothers, thank you well. ”

Because your grandson Shangqi was injured by an arrow, our Jinyi Wei followed him to drink soup.

Your grandson is our helper to make a fortune, and now we know that you have a bright future, so can we take the opportunity to slap you well?

……

……

That night, Sun Shangqi accepted the banquet of his colleagues.

At the time of the last watch, Sun Shangqi withdrew from the banquet and did not return home, but took his trusted Baihu, Hu Cong and others to a secret office of Jinyiwei in Beijing.

It is also a place where some of the prisoners are held.

And the Caihuang clan was already waiting at the mouth of the alley early, and there was only one stone bench to sit on, and when he saw someone approaching with a lantern on Sun Shangqi's side, Caihuang hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Master Sun." Cai Huang walked over to give a salute.

Sun Shangqi said: "What should be reminded, what should not be reminded, don't I need to say it?" ”

"Yes."

Cai Huang lowered his head.

Then the two of them arrived at the door together, and the people brought by Sun Shangqi went up and knocked on the door, and then the door creaked open.

When I entered the yard, it seemed very empty, and until I reached the backyard, I could vaguely smell some blood.

Because of the pungent smell, Cai Huang couldn't help but cover his nose.

Sun Shangqi said: "Next to it is a pig killing farm, don't think it's human blood, it's not so bloody here." ”

According to Sun Shangqi's meaning, if Jinyiwei wants to be tortured, he should also use it in a place like the Imperial Prison, and he can use it as he wants, and he will not go to such a place with a lot of corners to make small moves.

Inside, all those who saw Sun Shangqi stepped forward to greet him. ‘

It seems that they all regard Sun Shangqi as the big man of Jinyiwei.

"Those who bring people to see the prisoners have the instructions from above, and after reading them, they will leave." Sun Shangqi wants to explain his intention to the criminal officer in charge here.

Although they are all Jinyiwei, the people here are under the jurisdiction of the East Factory, and their status is high.

Or in the eyes of many people, it is better to do things for Zhang Zhou than to do things for Dongchang now.

A hundred households came over and said something in Sun Shangqi's ear.

Sun Shangqi said: "There should be a point, but Cai Guogong's side, don't you care about it?" ”

"Sun Qianhu, you're right." Baihu said, "The person you want to see is in the East Courtyard." Do you call me, or do you want to see you in the past? ”

"Call here." Sun Shangqi said.

"Then wait a minute."

Then the hundred households sent people in to call for people, and after a long time, they were called out.

A graceful woman of thirty years old walked out with a mother-in-law, and she was already very frightened when she saw men with knives around her.

"Come here."

Sun Shangqi said in a cold voice.

The woman walked over and saluted Sun Shangqi.

"Someone from your family is coming to visit, go and meet first, and by the way, someone will pack up your things for you, and follow!"

Sun Shangqi's words were for his mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law said: "To transfer people, there is a warrant." ”

Baihu scolded: "I don't open my eyes, I don't know if this is Sun Qianhu?" What is the rambling? Go in and pack up! Sun Qianhu, there is fragrant tea waiting next to you, please move. ”

"Hmm."

Sun Shangqi said, "Don't worry, let them go in first, they may have something to say." When I'm done, I'm going to go back here, and I've had a few drinks with Master Guo and them, I'm a little drunk, Cai Guogong is still in the Tribute Courtyard recently, and I still can't be light-hearted here. ”

"Sun Qianhu, your noble family is busy, so I will arrange it for you." Baihu said, waved his hand and said, "The room next to it will be empty first, let them go in first and talk." Bring out some good wine and tea and give Sun Qianhu a taste. (End of chapter)
