At the market in Kaoshan Town, Mrs. Chen could not forget her second son, and half of the Qinhuai River was boiling under the Yingtian Bang.
"I come from a humble background. It would be great if I could climb high. However, how about you wait until I get home to discuss it with my wife?"
Under the Ying Tian Bang, a boy of thirteen or fourteen raised his lips and said these words happily.
After more than ten seconds of silence, there was a burst of laughter.
Amidst the laughter, the male-bearded butler, who had never expected that he was blushing and a little angry, came to capture his son-in-law on behalf of the family of a powerful third-rank official. How could he have thought that this young man would be so happy that he would be so happy? I agreed, but I didn’t expect such a result.
"You, hum!"
Amid the roars of laughter from the crowd, the red-faced butler with a red beard led more than a dozen servants to disperse.
Seeing the Gong Yanghu butler leaving in annoyance, Zhu Ping'an narrowed his eyes slightly. It was better to wear small shoes than to lose his head. This was something Zhao Wenhua, the son-in-law of Mr. Zhao, could never do. Others don't know what kind of crazy things Zhao Wenhua will do in the future, but he knows it.
This dear man's brain is so hot that he is shaking the world and weeping! I don't want to be implicated by him in the future.
However, it is said that this man was very accurate in judging people. When Yan Song was just a university president, this man saw that Yan Song would achieve great things in the future, so he called out two words that are similar to the modern "godfather", "adopted father" ". Sure enough, within a few years Yan Song rose to the rank of chief minister of the cabinet, one person below ten thousand people. This man's vision is evident.
Now this dear friend actually sent someone to capture his son-in-law. This made Zhu Pingan a little surprised. Could it be that this dear friend was sure that he would be extraordinary in the future? It's just that this is a bit ridiculous. This man only met me once in the scientific examination hall, and he was still a little difficult. Moreover, he was only at the end of the crane when he won the exam. I can't figure it out.
"You rejected such a good thing?! This is a third-level official. With this father-in-law, he will not be promoted to the third level in the future!" The fat man chattered in Zhu Pingan's ear, and then whispered in Zhu Pingan's ear. , "I know you're not married, how old are you!"
"The road under your feet is still steady. Asking for help is like swallowing a three-foot sword, and relying on people is like reaching the ninth heaven." Zhu Ping'an smiled lightly.
Hearing this, Xia Luoming seemed to have some understanding. He slightly distanced himself from Guo Ziyu and others around him, and looked at Zhu Ping'an with more respect.
“Buying fame and fishing for reputation!”
Guo Ziyu said sourly, with a mixture of envy, jealousy and hatred, and a strong feeling of underappreciated talent in his eyes. This guy is just at the bottom of the list. I am dozens of places taller than him and much more handsome than him. Why is it that he is the one trying to catch my son-in-law and not me?
Guo Ziyu and others left this place of right and wrong with deep reluctance.
On this day, under the Yingtian List, everyone remembered a name, Zhu Pingan. Although this is at the bottom of the list, it is a name that is more dazzling than the top one, Jie Yuan, because a third-grade official caught his son-in-law.
In the restaurant not far away, the two examiners were also paying attention to this scene.
"It seems that we have underestimated Zhao Wenhua!" Examiner Wang looked at the Yingtian list and said softly, and then looked at Examiner Zhang who was sitting opposite.
"How can you look down upon an eagle dog that is valued by Yan Song, but this look in his eyes surprised me a little." Examiner Zhang nodded.
"Then..." Examiner Wang hesitated.
Examiner Zhang stroked his beard and smiled confidently, "I have a clear conscience, and Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is in charge..."
After two son-in-law arrests under the Yingtian list, the crowd gradually dispersed. Zhu Ping'an and Fatty looked at the list again. Especially when Fatty saw his name on the list, he touched his belly with satisfaction and boasted that his belly was full of poems and books. , and then pointed to the deputy list and said that this name will be transferred to the Guipang next year.
After struggling all morning, the fat man was satisfied after looking at his name on the list. He shook his head and said he wanted to go back and catch up on some sleep.
Zhu Ping'an also thought about going back to pack his things and prepare to return home, so he followed the flow of people back to the inn. After arriving at the inn, Fatty went back to his room to catch up on his sleep. Zhu Pingan went back to his room to pack his things and prepare to return home someday after the incident here was over.
After the Deer Ming Banquet, there will be nothing to worry about and you can go home. The "Lu Ming Banquet" is a banquet stipulated in the imperial examination system. It started in the Tang Dynasty. On the day after the results of the provincial examination were released, new imperial examination candidates and internal and external officials were invited to a banquet to sing the "Lu Ming" chapter in the "Book of Songs". It was called "Lu Ming" feast'.
While Zhu Ping'an was packing his things, the male-bearded housekeeper in the Zhao Mansion told his master about the capture of his son-in-law with a red face and a jealous face.
"Sir, if you ask me, that boy is too ignorant of praise." Gongyang Hu butler added some words and concluded.
Zhao Wenhua sat on a chair and after listening to his butler's report, his face remained calm. He blew on the hot tea in his hand and said lightly, "Being proud of one's talents is a common problem among young talents."
Gongyang Hu butler was a little surprised by his master's reaction. As usual, shouldn't the master give that boy a good lesson and let him know that the sky is high and the earth is high? Could it be that my description was too bland?
"Sir, there is something unclear about this subordinate. This boy is just the bottom of the list. Is your lord too high on him?"
The male-bearded butler shook his male beard, bent down and asked boldly.
Hearing this, Zhao Wenhua gently placed the teacup in his hand on the table, squinted his eyes, and asked, "Exaltation? Do you know why I can be where I am now?"
Under Zhao Wenhua's gaze, Butler Gongyang Hu sweated slightly on his back and replied hurriedly, "Of course you are far-sighted and hardworking."
"Shit, that's all because of my eyes!" Zhao Wenhua sneered, "Back then, my adoptive father only offered wine to the Imperial College, but now... I don't believe that those who laughed at me for recognizing my adopted father can still do it now. Laughable.”
"How can he compare with the Chief Assistant? He is just at the bottom of the list." Butler Gongyanghu was very resentful of Zhu Ping'an and would give his master eye drops whenever he found an opportunity.
"This is why you can only be a housekeeper and I am a third-rank official!" Zhao Wenhua blew on the hot tea in the cup, took a sip, and said with a smug look, "You only saw the bottom of the list. Master, I have already seen an extraordinary young talent."
"Last of the list, do you know what it means to be a thirteen-year-old person?" Zhao Wenhua put down the tea cup with a little force, making a sound that startled the male-bearded butler.
"..." The male-bearded butler was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and his mind went blank.
"Don't talk about the far ones, let's talk about the near ones. You have always heard of the powerful Yang Shoufu. This is the thirteen-year-old boy! This kind of monster cannot be seen with common sense."
"Besides, sir, what I like about him is his strategy to control Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates that have become more and more violent in the coastal areas in recent years will be a highlight in the credit book in the future. Sir, I have been watching for many years... .." (To be continued.)
