Su Jin had already thought about all kinds of things when she was taken into custody just now, and she felt that the punishment was inevitable, but she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, and when she heard about Le's two arrangements of capital crime and living crime, she was so frightened that she trembled all over, and she almost fainted in front of her.

Le Shi paused for a moment, and then said, "Now there is a third method. ”

The author has something to say:

Chapter 111: Chapter 110: Yaji

Su Jin was stunned, kowtowed to Le's and begged for mercy, she knew in her heart that whether it was killing or matching people at will, it would be a miserable end, and now she still looks at a glimmer of hope, no matter what it is, she is willing to give it a try.

Le Shi looked at her gaze but was quite disgusted, "There is an article here, you take it to Yan Jialangjun, tell him that the matter he explained is done, he can't let him see the abnormality, this matter is done, and you will be sent back to Pengcheng." ”

Su Jin nodded and agreed without thinking about it, although she would not have a good errand to return to Pengcheng if she lost her reputation as a betrayer, but she still had relatives there, and she could still take care of one or two in the end. With tears in her eyes, she took the two pages tremblingly, and said, "The maid will do it." ”

Le Shi glanced at Wei Jin, and said: "Your lady has never treated you badly, and the food is more refined than those ordinary family girls outside, I heard that I also intend to choose someone for you this year, why did you listen to Yan Jialangjun's words and steal the manuscript behind your back"

Su Jin's face was red with shame, almost dripping blood, biting her lip and saying, "Maid...... The maid did not want to marry into such a small family. ”

Leshi waved his hand for the servant woman to take Su Jin down, turned his head and asked Wei Jin, "Do you understand?"

Wei Jin frowned and nodded.

Le's said: "This maid is not young, she looks like a good look, it was originally left to you by the Liu family."

Wei Jin nodded again, Le's guess was not bad, Liu revealed this meaning a few years ago, but Wei Jin concentrated on studying, did not ask about foreign objects, and had a very close relationship with Liu, and had no intention of using Su Jin, Liu planned to arrange another person for Su Jin, who knew that this kind of thing happened.

Le Shi said: "Everyone has selfishness, even the people who serve you are no exception, there are a few people in this world who can withstand the temptation, and the subordinates can not be generous and excessive, but let people forget their status and humility, and the rewards and punishments are clear to be controlled." When you walk outside, you must have the heart of the embankment, and there is a way to be clever and benevolent. There are many people who are full of splendid articles, but what is the heart of the people can only be seen when they are in danger for a long time. You have no intention of harming others, and you must beware of others harming you. ”

Wei Jin said: "Mother's reminder should be kept in mind. ”

Le's said: "It's good to remember it with your heart." Only when you stand up will your children and brothers save some effort. ”

Wei Jin smiled faintly: "There is also a second brother." ”

Le's face suddenly darkened, and he waved his hand to let them leave.

Wei Ji said goodbye to her eldest brother and left in a hurry, as if there was something terrible behind her. Wei Zhao looked at her back, but Wei Jin didn't pay attention to it in a heavy mind.

Su Jin went out to catch up with Yan Si on the second day and handed him the article. Yan Si's eyes lit up, as if he had obtained a treasure, and repeatedly asked if this was a new article made by Wei Jin in the past few days. Su Jin smiled and glanced at him, "Is the ink on it new?" Yan Si grabbed her in no one and said, "After the Yaji is over, after a while, I will go and tell my cousin that you want to come over." ”

The two struggled for a while, and Yan Si said again: "There is one more thing you need to do." As he spoke, he whispered to Su Jin.

Su Jin was taken aback, "You are good friends with Jin Langjun, why do you want to hurt him like this"

Yan Si smiled on his face, but his eyes were cold, "Since you have already offended, you can only do things absolutely, and you can't give him a glimmer of hope to turn over, you are a maid in the back house, how can you understand this, listen to my orders." ”

Su Jin returned to the Wei family and was immediately taken to Le's by the servant, she did not hide all the reports in 1510, and Yan Si's last order was no exception.

"He asked me to find an opportunity to reveal my tone in front of Lang Jun the day before the Yaji, saying that my lady had been good with him and had a ...... There have been husband and wife affairs. ”

Le Shi sneered, Wei Jin was sitting on the side, and his face was so heavy that he could almost wring it into the water. Yan Si was so vicious, it was not enough to steal the manuscript, and it was even more important to make Wei Jin uneasy and make mistakes in Yaji.

Su Jin was taken down by the servant woman to take care of him, and Le Shi saw that Wei Jin's face was extremely ugly, and knew that he had grown up after this incident, so he didn't say anything more, only asked him to prepare well, and told him not to mention this matter to the Liu family for the time being, and wait for Yaji to talk about it later.

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, Lingshan Yaji, the scholars of the three nearby counties gathered, the scholars in the three counties have nine surnames, and there are also the children of the Hanmen Shu clan, which is said to be a cold family, but in fact, compared with the scholars, in fact, these clans are wealthy, and the ancestors have also been officials. Beneath the cold gate were the scholars of the common poor families, dressed in coarse cloth, and several of them rented ox carts to go up the mountain.

Early this morning, the Wei family was busy, Wei Shen and Le Shi saw off Wei Jin and Wei Jiao, and Wei Zhao and Wei Sheng also accompanied them.

Wei Ji came from the small gate of the courtyard, wearing a robe embroidered with a white background, her hair was all tied up, and her little face became more and more delicate and white, and her eyes were like stars. Le Shi pulled her and really praised her. Wei Shen solemnly told the two of them a few words, and a group of people watched them board the car and leave. Wei Ji always felt that there was a gaze stuck behind her, and she didn't have to think about it to know who it was, so she didn't even greet Wei Sheng alone, so as not to make people feel that she was extremely cold to Wei Zhao.

As soon as the sky dawned in the early morning, the scholars who participated in the Yaji had already set off, and the streets and markets of each county were all passing by the scholars and the people who saw them off, all the way like a stream flowing into the sea, and finally all converged to Lingshan.

At the foot of the mountain, the county officials guarded and also directed the placement of the ox carts. When Wei Ji and Wei Zhao arrived, the official heard that it was the frame of the Wei family, and with a smile on his face, he asked the coachman to park the ox cart on an open flat land.

Wei Zhao and Wei Ji got down from the ox cart, and many scholars nearby had already looked over, and when they saw that their ox cart was parked in a good position, they already knew that they were from the Shi clan, and then they saw Wei Jin handsome and graceful, Wei Ji had red lips and white teeth, like a jade man, and they were all stunned for a while. On the elegant set, appearance and demeanor are the first priority. The scholar has a bookish atmosphere when he reads books, but he is as good as the children of the Wei family, and he can see it at a glance in the crowd, of course, he has a big advantage.

The scholars couldn't help but talk secretly.

Soon Wei Jin and Wei Ji walked towards the mountain, the scenery of Lingshan is beautiful, there are many trees, Jiangxia is a place with a lot of water, there are rivers gurgling through the mountain streams, gathering the scenery of mountains, forests, water and so on. Along the mountain stone road, there is a small river, there is a stone bridge on it, and there is a pavilion when you cross the bridge. This is the first stop on the mountain, and there are many scholars around at the moment.

Yaji is a kind of assessment, but the pursuit of the court's free and elegant nature, if the Zhongzheng official is like the school examination, but it falls behind, so many scholars seem to be playing in the mountains and rivers, some are in the water to sing poems, some are painting in the pavilion, and some are two or three talking, anyway, they can't make a deliberate gesture to welcome the officials. It is in this seemingly natural state that the Zhongzheng official examines the critics.

As soon as the two Wei brothers walked through the pavilion, a person greeted them and greeted them with a smile, "Brother Bozheng, junior brother Yudu." ”

Wei Ji raised her eyes and saw that it was Yan Si. He also wore a new outfit today, with a light robe and a thin layer of □□ on his face.

This is also popular at the moment, even if you don't use it on weekdays, when you meet Zhongzheng today, it is the time for scholars to focus on performance, so there are really not a few people who have powder on their faces.

Wei Ji sneered and said, "Brother Yan, what did you put on your face today, why are you so white?"

There are a lot of grease and powder, everyone knows it, but few people expose it in person. But Wei Ji is young, almost the youngest among today's mountaineering scholars, and she said this innocently, which was unintentional.

Yan Si was annoyed, but he couldn't have a seizure, so he smiled and said, "I didn't sleep well yesterday, and my face was a little bad, so I covered it up or two." ”

Wei Jin is not good at acting, and when he saw Yan Si's face was solemn, he couldn't hide the boredom in his eyes.

Yan Si said a few words of greeting and saw that he had a cold attitude, and he didn't think that he thought that what he had ordered Su Jin to do had been successful, and he was even more secretly happy in his heart, even if you two brothers were outstanding, I was afraid that you would go down the mountain in disgrace, and you would never be able to raise your head again.

So he treated the two more and more affectionately, and also introduced the scenery to the two.

Wei Ji saw that this person's face was warm and thoughtful, so that people couldn't see that there was such a vicious heart hidden inside, and he was really a representative of the honey-bellied sword.

Wei Jin rarely spoke, so Wei Jin talked to him, intentionally or unintentionally, always pretending to be innocent and stabbing him.

Yan Si pretended to show goodwill, and told the two brothers a few ways to behave in front of the central magistrate.

Wei Ji said: "What the elder brother of the Yan family said is the Tao, why did he hesitate for many years, and he had not ordered a product in Pengcheng, but he wanted to come to our Jiangxia"

Yan Si's face sank for a moment, and then quickly regained his smile, "There are some difficult things at home. ”

Wei Ji smiled and said: "Brother was so serious just now, the powder on his face was spilled, so let's hurry up and make up for it while the Zhongzheng official is not here." ”

Yan Si: "......"

He didn't want to care, but for some reason, Wei Ji always glanced at him from time to time, which made him feel extremely awkward, and quickly found an excuse to turn around and leave, planning to find a target to see his face. In fact, he usually doesn't care so much, but the appearance of the Wei family brothers is too good, especially that little child, when he looks at him with a pair of wonderful eyes, Yan Si always feels that there seems to be something ugly on his face.

Seeing that Yan Si was finally gone, Wei Jin smiled faintly and said, "Naughty." ”

Wei Ji smiled and said, "It's all because he has too thick skin, and he always sticks to the left and right and refuses to go." ”

Both of them knew in their hearts that this was Yan Si's deliberate attempt to step on Wei in and out, so they were always with them.

Wei Ji said in a low voice: "He has a bad heart and a bad big brother mentality, and I also make him uncomfortable." ”

Wei Jin's heart warmed, and he felt even more guilty in his heart, which made his young brother so worried.

The two brothers stood by the river and chatted a few words, and Yan Si really came back to them.

Soon there was a commotion at the foot of the mountain, and the central magistrate climbed the mountain accompanied by the county order, followed by a group of guards. The Zhongzheng official is He Tai, who is over forty years old, with a thin face and long hair, and quite an elegant style. He first went to the Changting Pavilion in the middle of the mountain, looked around, bowed his head slightly, was satisfied with the performance of the scholars, and after whispering a few words with the county order, he went out of the Changting Pavilion and tested the scholars along the way.

Zhongzheng Hetai soon came to the river, there were many scholars along the river, and what he saw at a glance was the Wei brothers who were extremely outstanding in appearance.

The author has something to say:

Make up for yesterday's chapter, and one more in the evening

Yesterday I smirked for a long time, and I got a headache when I got home, ε=(ο'*)))) Alas, does the smirk affect the nerves thanks to the little angel who voted for me during 2023-02-09 23:33:13~2023-02-11 10:47:34~

Chapter 112: Chapter 11, Chapter 11

He Tai's eyes lit up, and he said to the county order: "Fengyi is handsome and elegant, scorching and dazzling, which Langjun is this?"

The county order mentioned the origin of the Wei family, and He Tai bowed slightly, "It turned out to be after Wei Jue." Beckoned Wei Jin Wei Ji to come over.

The scholars by the river sighed when they saw it, and sure enough. Yan Si's heart was also filled with irrepressible jealousy. He also grew up studying hard, convinced that he would get ahead one day, and when he met Wei Jin in Jiangxia, he found that he was superior to himself everywhere, and his jealousy gnawed at his heart like an ant. At this moment, seeing that the Zhongzheng official first treated the Wei brothers differently, he became more and more uncomfortable, but he felt that the decision to follow the Wei brothers was very correct.

He followed Wei Jin and Wei Ji to the front of the platform and saluted.

He Tai smiled slightly, and asked Wei Jin directly: "Self-denial is benevolence, what is the solution?"

Wei Jin said: "Ke Juyu is about to be, and the Jews are reversed, if you can make a self-covenant and thrift yourself, and return to the ceremony, then you are benevolent and ......."

His voice was clear and peaceful, and it was Luoyang Zhengyin, He Tai listened silently, and gradually smiled, obviously very satisfied. Wei Jin's answer is obviously a very deep study of the Analects and has his own opinions, which is very much in line with his heart.

After Wei Jin finished answering, He Tai asked him about the situation at home and what books he read. After asking, he looked at Yan Si, and also asked a sentence of discourse, Yan Si looked serious and talked eloquently. He also has real talent and learning, but he is inferior to Wei Jin, and his answers one after the other reveal the advantages and disadvantages. After finishing speaking, He Tai didn't say anything, and then looked at Wei Ji.

Today, the children of the Yajishi clan are seventeen or eighteen years old, and the children of the poor families are older, and there are many people in their twenties.

He Tai first asked Wei Jiao's age, and then also asked a question, "It is better to say the way of a gentleman, it is better to apply it to a thing, which article are you talking about?"

When Wei Ji heard it, this question was much simpler than the test of Wei Jin and Yan Si just now, and it seemed that the Zhongzheng official deliberately lowered his requirements because of her age. She stood upright and said: "The gentleman of "Analects for Politics" is not a weapon. There are clouds in the memory of etiquette, and the avenue is not a device. The two cannot communicate with each other for their own use......"

She has a crisp voice, and she is beautiful, standing by the stream, with long sleeves fluttering, like a fairychild.

The county magistrate and others couldn't help but admire in their hearts, and they deserved to be the descendants of Wei Jue.

He Tai, as Zhongzheng, nodded after listening to Wei Ji's answer. Wei Ji didn't just say the answer, but also discussed the "gentleman is not a weapon", revealing that of course she was also here to participate in the order, not just to accompany her brother to gain knowledge.

He Tai went up the mountain all the way, and along the way, he saw some scholars asking questions, and some of them simply ignored them.

This is the cruelty of Yaji's selection, if you don't get into the eyes of the central officials, you may not even have a chance to speak, let alone show your talent.

By noon, more than half of the scholars had already been asked. The officials quickly brought food up, and the scholars simply ate on the mountain. In the afternoon, the officials called more than 30 scholars to the pavilion on the mountain. The scholars understood that these people were promising. Many scholars also followed up the mountain, intending to watch the excitement around. Three years later, there will be an elegant gathering, and there is no harm in seeing more, and the guards and officials also know the mentality of the scholars, and there is no obstruction.

Wei Ji couldn't suppress her joy when she was called, and Wei Jin said in a low voice: "Yudu answered very well just now, let Lord He know that although you are young, you have learned a lot." ”

Wei Ji smiled and nodded, she was exactly that. There are advantages to being young, and doing the same thing at the age of fourteen and forty may be very different, but there are also disadvantages, and being young is easy to ignore. All she had to do was dispel the idea of seeing her as a child in front of everyone.

Yan Si was also in the list of selected scholars, he was ecstatic in his heart but forced himself to hold back, said a request to Wei Jin and Wei Jiao, and then went up the mountain together.

There is a pavilion on the mountainside, called "Wufang Pavilion", which comes from the meaning of the avenue without a square. He Tai was sitting in the pavilion at this time, drinking tea with the county order.

More than 30 scholars gathered outside the pavilion, He Tai put down the tea bowl in his hand, looked at everyone, and said: "Mencius has clouds, and it is better to believe in books, than to have no books." Reading a book is to read an article, and the other is to seek a wonderful understanding, just now I have tested your ability to read, and now you can each have your own topic, wonderful interpretation of the scriptures. ”

The children of the scholar clan said in their hearts, Hetai appreciates the novelty of the readers, and it is indeed so.

Among the more than 30 scholars, there are also those from poor families, but there are not many of them, only seven, and the rest are all after the Jiangxia scholars. After He Tai came up with the question, a child of the scholar clan spoke first. Then from where he was standing, they descended one after another, and because they were not limited to the topic, each of them expounded his own point of view. Soon it was Wei Jin's turn to take Yan Si's position.

Without waiting for Wei Jin to speak, Yan Si, who was a little later, preemptively said: "Jian said: "The child holds the object, why is it like this" Wang said: "The saint forgets his feelings, and he is the least affectionate; The love of the bell is "......" in my generation

Wei Jin's eyes froze, and sure enough, it was the article.

The article begins with the allusion to the death of the son of Wang Rong, the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, which is the metaphysical meaning of "the more famous and the more natural", and extends the discussion of Wang Bi's argument that the sage is affectionate and not tired. This article is a good work from Confucianism to Xuan, layer by layer. The more He Tai listened, the more surprised he became, and he sat up straight. Many scholars were also moved, and those who spoke in front of him felt that what they said was obviously insufficient, and those who had not yet answered the questions felt distressed.

Yan Si saw everyone's gaze, and became more and more proud, and was suddenly interrupted by the voice next to him.

Wei Ji said: "The intentions of the supreme people are like a mirror, they will not be welcomed, and they should not be hidden, so they can win things without hurting ......"

Yan Si paused.
