At the beginning of spring, Ye Xingyuan, a scholar, packed his bags and went to Fucheng first. =wwW.lwXS520.coM "≤ Ding" ≤ "≤ Xiao" ≤ said, he planned to meet Tang Shiyan first, and then make an appointment to go to the provincial capital to prepare for the exam together.

In the imperial examination, the competition in the provincial examination can be said to be the most fierce, even more difficult than the Beijing examination, I don't know how many heroes and heroes have failed in this pass, and can only be an old talent for life. Therefore, there is no room for sloppiness, and it must be taken seriously.

This time, Ye Xingyuan finally returned to being alone again. Ouyang Ziyu, who "broke the law", has returned to the Shushan faction, although the bitter master Huang Dian has become crazy, and he can close the case with Ouyang Juren's energy, but out of caution, Ouyang Juren has not moved for the time being.

As for Mrs. Mo, if she made such a big deal in Guiyang County, she also had to avoid the limelight and stay away from Ye Xingyuan for the time being, so as not to get out of the basket. Therefore, she said goodbye to Ye Xingyuan again, but Ye Xingyuan will not be fooled again this time, don't look at her as if she was parting with life and death, and then talk about it as a deaf ear.

Walking alone, facing the cold of spring, I don't feel a little lonely. In the past, I walked with two troublemakers, although they were both characters who couldn't be provoked, but at present, beauty is quarrelling, and I don't feel that the road is monotonous and boring, but now I am a little unaccustomed to it.

There was really nothing to say all the way, Ye Xingyuan went straight to Hanjiang Mansion, and went directly to Tang Shiyan's Mansion. I thought about meeting Brother Tang first, and then I had a plan.

When Tang Shiyan saw Ye Xingyuan, he was very happy and said, "I'm afraid that you will delay for a few days, so I have been hesitating to hire a boat." I'm afraid that the ships will be tight during the spring flood season, and you won't be able to hire them when you need them, so you will live in my house when you come, and you will board the boat together when you set off. ”

Hanjiang Province to the provincial capital, the mountain road is rugged and not easy to walk, but the waterway is a flat river, down the river, but a few days to arrive. Ye Xingyuan was still thinking about the road, since there was Tang Shiyan, an old horse who knew the way, it was even better.

Ye Xingyuan thanked a few words first. Then he said that he still went to the old house of the Zhou family to borrow it, after all, he was used to living there. What's more, when he left Fucheng, he left Lu Wei over there to watch the door, and he didn't know what was going on now, so he had to go and see.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a long time, and Ye Xingyuan was about to say goodbye, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He took a few glances at himself, but saw that Tang Shiyan's study was no longer Danqing Wen, but various sage classics, and former ink scrolls. I can't help but feel extremely weird.

It is not surprising that this kind of thing appears in the study, but Tang Shiyan is a prodigal genius who has no idea of fame, and he often slanders the sages on weekdays, so it is very incongruous!

Ye Xingyuan suddenly thought again, just now Tang Shiyan said "get on the boat together", and Tang Shiyan actually didn't drag himself to drink flower wine, which is really unprecedented, it is really puzzling.

He then asked: "The predecessors began to study hard, did they move the hearts of mortals? Also interested in trying your hand at the provincial capital?"

Ye Xingyuan meant most of what he meant by this joke, he just thought it was Tang Shiyan's whim. Unexpectedly, Tang Shiyan nodded with a straight face, "What the virtuous brother said is very true, although I am not as high-spirited as you young people. But you always have to keep improving yourself. Today's provincial test, since the hard work, so that we can live up to what we have learned in life!"

Ye Xingyuan was dumbfounded, you are not in love with landscape calligraphy and painting. Why did you suddenly want to participate in the imperial examination again?

Tang Shiyan's attitude towards life Ye Xingyuan couldn't be clearer, if something goes wrong, he is a demon, and he suddenly thought of fame. It's not going to be a midlife crisis, is it? Or is it a brain convulsion?

Ye Xingyuan complained very disrespectfully: "What the hell are you doing?"

Tang Shiyan said to Ye Xingyuan mysteriously: "You are not an outsider, I just said that I know you, but don't spread this word." Ye Xingyuan was also curious, "What made a person like a god like his predecessor moved?"

Tang Shiyan laughed a few times before he said: "Yesterday, a friend from the provincial capital wrote to me, saying that this provincial test is not trivial. Mu Million, the richest man in this province, claimed that he wanted to recruit a son-in-law on the provincial examination list, and anyone who was selected this time and was not married could be candidates. ”

It turned out to be the richest man recruiting a son-in-law? Ye Xingyuan was suddenly messy in the wind, this Brother Tang is more than thirty years old, and he still has this lot of thoughts?

After thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "What kind of person is the richest man in this province, his young lady must also be at the right age, and he always has to recruit a young man of the same age." After all, you have already passed and stood up, so it's better not to report too much hope. ”

As a traverser, Ye Xingyuan was used to hype, and subconsciously felt that this was a show activity, which was quite dismissive. The yellow flower daughter of a huge rich family is definitely not unable to get married, why bother to engage in such a famous hall? It is not an internal decision, but it is also demanding, but I didn't expect Tang Shiyan to be recruited even when he was old.

Tang Shiyan was unconvinced and said: "Although I am over thirty years old, I can still drink three buckets, two catties of rice and meat, and I am very young and strong." Besides, I have never been married, so I may not have a chance. ”

He pinched his fingers and calculated for Ye Xingyuan: "As long as you can be lifted, you have a great chance of becoming Mu Wanwan's son-in-law." After all, in the way of the imperial examination, the threshold for lifting people is extremely high, and there is no one in ten who can successfully pass the examination, and there may not be one hundred and eighty out of thousand.

Among these 180 people, most of them are old people who have taken the exam a few times, and the unmarried article has brushed off the vast majority of candidates, and how many qualified ones can be left in the end?

Seriously, you're my main competitor, brother. But if a character like my brother is really not limited to the provincial capital, how can he care about the daughter of a merchant?"

Tang Shiyan analyzed it like this, and Ye Xingyuan felt that there was some truth, not pure conjecture. There are few young and unmarried lifters, and those who are young must be ambitious, so why rush if they are unmarried?

It's better to go to the capital to fight, if you get the fame of Jinshi, then talk about marriage, and the Yue family is afraid that it will be a high-level figure in the court.

For example, Ye Xingyuan himself, if he is picked by this so-called Mu Million, he will definitely have to hesitate. If he is not willing, Mu Wan's family is only rich after all, not a prince and prime minister, and he can't play the trick of "catching a son-in-law under the list", and this marriage may not be successful.

Therefore, Tang Shiyan is so capable, not too old, and unmarried, there are really only a handful. It's no wonder that he is eager to try, planning to go all out, pick up all the books he used to look down on, and look forward to the blossoming of the old tree.

In this way, I wish my predecessors all their wishes come true. Ye Xingyuan thought that Tang Shiyan would not be a long-term way to continue like this, it was rare for him to have the motivation to make progress, and he was worthy of encouragement.

But the richest man in this province is really so rich, even the head of the four great talents of the Han River has moved his mind? Ye Xingyuan asked curiously: "What does this Mu Million do for a living? Why is he called the richest man in this province?"

Tang Shiyan was also interested, and said with his eyebrows fluttering: "I forgot that you are young, although you are extremely talented, after all, your knowledge is still shallow, I don't know the origin of this Mu million, and it is also a legendary story." ”

Mu Wanwan's family is poor, and he only struggles in the provincial capital, but it is said that he met immortals in the river and got a treasure of the town house. Since then, he has made money in any business, accumulated a net worth of millions over the decades, monopolized the timber business in the province, and was rich enough to rival the country, and there were countless pawnshops, all over the province.

The so-called "pearls are like earth, gold is like iron", that is, the luxury of their family. He is good at dancing with long sleeves on all sides, and is good at befriending the leading figures in the provincial capital, and his hands and eyes are all over the sky, and it is said that he also has a relationship in Beijing.

However, Tang Shiyan didn't care about this, he only drooled at the cellar in Mu Wanwan's house, "There is a plum forest in his house, and there is fine wine buried under the plum forest. When he gave birth to a daughter, Mu Million followed the folk customs and buried hundreds of jars of famous wine, and now more than ten years have passed, and when it comes to Kaifeng, the night of the wedding will inevitably be drunk with wine. ”

Ye Xingyuan suddenly realized that Tang Shiyan was suddenly so motivated, and he was afraid that this hundred jars of fine wine was also one of the important reasons. He laughed and laughed, he could only say that he blessed silently, and made an appointment to board the ship, and Ye Xingyuan went to Zhou's house again.

At the door of Zhou's house, I saw the Lu family's cousin and aunt standing at the door with joy, as if they were just about to leave. Seeing Ye Xingyuan, the two of them were very grateful. Ye Xingyuan was confused at first, but later he understood.

It turned out that after Lu Wei was brainwashed by the pure heart Shengyin, he never came out, he studied hard in Zhou's house, and he didn't even want to go home for the New Year, his father and mother were afraid that he was crazy, and they were always worried. Until the small examination of the government examination in the past few days, Lu Wei actually stood out and ranked among the best, and even the instructors were full of praise, saying that he was expected to take the government examination this time.

Uncle Lu heard Lu Wei say that he was influenced by Ye Xingyuan, so he was naturally grateful, and regretted the negligence of Ye Xingyuan when he came to visit him that day. I was thinking about going to Qianshan Village to contact this relative again, but I didn't want to happen to run into Ye Xingyuan today, of course, it was a flood of words.

Ye Xingyuan didn't expect that the mistake of the Pure Heart Holy Sound would have such an effect, but it could be regarded as an unintentional willow insertion. However, Lu Wei is still extremely misogynistic, even if he wins the show, it will be difficult to do family affairs in the future, and the cousin of the Lu family will have to worry about it at that time.

In any case, Lu Wei also had a landing, and Ye Xingyuan asked him to hurry home. Then Ye Xingyuan stayed in Zhou's house for two days, waiting for the day of departure, and went to the provincial capital with Tang Shiyan. (To be continued......) >
