Zhu Zhi's incident really set off a heated trend in Fengjing. The ladies from well-known families conducted careful investigations on their fiancés. At one time, four or five young men were found to have extramarital affairs, and their engagements were immediately annulled.
For a time, all the gentlemen and ladies of the right age in Fengjing were in danger.
Only the children who entered the courtyard for the second time were always leisurely and contented, with plans in mind.
"I don't know if Third Brother has received anything to eat or drink." Jiang Sheng tilted his head, "It would be nice if there was something I could talk to Third Brother directly."
"If there is something, it would be better to talk directly to the third brother face to face." Wen Zhiyun muttered while lying on his stomach.
Chang Yan glanced at them and said, "It would be better if there was something that could fly to Third Brother in half a day."
The three children looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
Zheng Ruqian curled his lips and said, "I think your brains are not reading properly because you are reading from the textbook. You are all thinking wildly every day instead of doing serious business."
He pointed at Xu Mo who was sitting upright reading, "Can you learn to be diligent from my elder brother?"
When it comes to diligence, Xu Mo is always the undisputed number one among the children. He has been sitting there since dawn and is still upright at noon.
"Brother, if you sit every day, will your butt get calluses?" Jiang Sheng suddenly whispered.
Chang Yan and Wen Zhiyun were thinking that this was not a good thing to say, when the eldest brother who was reading coughed slightly.
Jiang Sheng quickly buried his head in his sleeves, muttering in his heart: Big brother can't hear, big brother can't hear.
Xu Mo glanced back, a little helpless in amusement.
However, he did not study seriously today, but kept thinking about Zhu Sihuan's anomaly.
Judging from the depth of this person's scheming, he shouldn't lose his composure in front of Xu Mo. Once he shows something strange, there are only two possibilities for Chang Yan's analysis.
First, he really lost his temper and came to the conclusion that he cared about the Tao girl.
Second, he faked his gaffe, but his purpose must have been to lure Xu Mo into discovering his gaffe.
No matter what, Zhu Sihuan was eager for Xu Mo to take action.
If it were in the past, Xu Mo would be cautious, think twice, and consider the consequences.
But now, Zhu Zhi's carefree happiness deeply hurt Xu Mo's heart. He couldn't help but want to be bolder, even bolder, even if he wanted to steal the skin of a tiger.
"I want to cooperate with Zhu Sihuan." He said softly after thinking clearly.
Jiang Sheng, who was still embarrassed, Xiaosi Xiaowu who was whispering, and Zheng Ruqian who was picking his ears, all sat up straight.
"Zhu Sihuan must want to cooperate with me, so he keeps showing abnormalities in front of me." Xu Mo said softly, "I will fulfill his wish and accompany him for a while."
Since arriving in Fengjing, the brothers and sisters have been trapped in the quagmire of this bustling city.
We can only move forward, not backward.
For the sake of dignity, Jiang Sheng and Zheng Ruqian worked hard on the cured meat business, even if they didn't hesitate to offend the boss of Youranju.
He Xu Mo can also cooperate with powerful people for the sake of dignity and penetrate into the wealthy circles of Fengjing.
Overthrowing Zhu Zhi is only the first step, establishing a firm foothold in Fengjing is the top priority.
"Brother."
Chang Yan was the first to stand up.
Wen Zhiyun, Jiang Sheng, and Zheng Ruqian followed closely behind, looking over with four pairs of eyes, showing support and trust.
"Brother, no matter what you want to do, just let it go." Chang Yan said sincerely, "We will always stand behind you and go through fire and water for you, no matter what."
Zheng Ruqian, Jiang Sheng and Wen Zhiyun nodded in unison.
Some of the younger brothers and sisters are scheming, some are stupid, some are greedy, and some have weak personalities.
But no matter what, they all loved him so sincerely and supported him.
Xu Mo smiled lightly, a little moisture appeared in the corners of his eyes, but was quickly blinked away.
The next day.
Xu Mo took the initiative to find Zhu Sihuan and whispered in a quiet place, "Brother Zhu, if you need help, just tell Xu Mo."
Zhu Sihuan was startled. After looking around, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Xu, please don't joke. I am the legitimate son of the Zhu family. Do you need help?"
The so-called beating the master to death with a stick.
Frankly speaking will kill a scheming dog.
Zhu Sihuan was used to the back and forth, but he was hit hard by Xu Mo's blunt statement and subconsciously denied everything.
Xu Mo didn't care, smiled slightly and turned around to leave.
This time it was Zhu Siheng's turn to be anxious. He grabbed Xu Mo's sleeve and looked around again before he dared to whisper, "Brother Xu speaks so straightforwardly, I know it will scare someone to death."
"Really?" Xu Mo asked back, "It's pointless to go around and around. Brother Zhu can say it directly. As long as the interests are in the right direction, anything is possible."
Zhu Sihuan was stunned.
After a long time, he lowered his voice and said, "I want to become a Juren as soon as possible. I can't wait three years."
The Chongqing Dynasty's imperial examination was held once every three years. It was only held in April this year. The next time will only be three years later.
But Zhu Sihuan couldn't wait three years and wanted to become a civil servant. It was like walking from Fengjing to Northern Xinjiang and still living.
Xu Mo opened his eyes wide and walked away without saying a word.
Zhu Sihuan also knew that he was a little embarrassed, so he grabbed him again and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't be a Juren. I have to make people think that I will definitely become a Juren in three years."
In the final analysis, it is still because of the saying "A Tao girl only marries a master of Juren".
Zhu Sihuan threw away his cover, with a hint of urgency in his eyes, truly treating Xu Mo as a life-saving straw.
He knew that if he didn't work hard, the girl he loved would have no choice but to marry someone else.
After Xu Mo was stunned, he knew that he had made the right bet.
He gently pulled out the corner of his wrinkled sleeve and said slowly, "Leave this matter to me, Mr. Zhu."
It’s just a matter of getting famous, it’s never difficult.
Literati are a group of forces, people who use pens, and people full of talents.
But not everyone can stand out among tens of millions of students like Xu Mo and come out on top.
In order to balance the emotions of those who failed the exam and prevent them from shaking the country with their nonsense, the Dayu Dynasty set up "Wenchang Pavilion" in different cities, and held cocktail parties every Wednesday and Friday, inviting literati from all walks of life to write and spread their talents.
Some people made people laugh, and some people made great mistakes.
At present, there are three most famous people in Wenchang Pavilion. One is "Xiaoyao Gongzi" from Fengjing, one is "Fugui Sanren" from Huizhou County, and the other is from distant Anshui County, whose pen name is "Fufeng Gongzi".
These three were all amazing in Wenchang Pavilion. They conquered everyone with a poem and became unsurpassed existences in Wenchang Pavilion everywhere.
It is not difficult for Zhu Sihuan to become famous. He only needs to imitate the path of these three and amaze everyone at the cocktail party.
Xu Mo picked through the collection of poems he had written and found one that was most unlike his previous style. He gave it to Zhu Sihuan and followed him just in case, pretending to be a book boy.
It happened to be October 15th, and the two of them rushed to the reception at Wenchang Pavilion in Fengjing.
As the most prosperous and largest capital of the dynasty, the reception at Wenchang Pavilion in Fengjing is full of talented people. If you just take two steps, you can hear poems being recited, and they are all top-notch works.
Zhu Sihuan suddenly became nervous, "Am I really good at it? After I finish this poem, no one will doubt me, right?"
Xu Mo patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much, I'm here."
Just three words, like a spell, soothed Zhu Sihuan's heart. He acted like a noble prince from Fengjing and entered Wenchang Pavilion with great swagger.
Xu Mo followed him all the way to the center of Wenchang Pavilion.
This is where the "Fighting of Essays" is located. Literati post their most proud poems, and whoever is not convinced will challenge them until they are invincible and become today's "Essay Leader".
However, things like poetry are all indiscriminately in the eyes of individuals. Usually, each has its own readers and support. It is rare for someone to be so talented and brilliant that a poem comes out and shocks the whole audience.
The timing of Zhu Sihuan's appearance was very clever. The two people were competing in the literary arena, and everyone was holding their own opinions and applauding each other.
"I think Mr. Jiang's is better. The writing is beautiful and the rhymes are connected. It's even better."
"I think Mr. Yuan is better. He has a long and profound meaning."
A time when both sides were at loggerheads.
Zhu Sihuan coughed, took out Xu Mo's poems from his arms, and put his palm between the two of them, "You might as well appreciate this boy's works."
