Sheng Changquan and Minglan have come to their own conclusions about what happened back then. As for who is right and who is wrong, that will have to be seen in the future.
As for Xiaodie, during this trip, she was not able to meet Minglan in the end, and just went back with Aunt Wei.
There was no way, before everything was over, Sheng Changquan could only try his best to keep Minglan away from old stories, so as not to affect his plans.
As for the mastermind behind that year, the two siblings also started their own plans at the same time.
…
After autumn, spring comes.
However, there is still half a year until this spring.
For some candidates who were lucky enough to pass the provincial examination, this is a good time to finally sharpen their skills in battle.
However, for Sheng Changquan, this is not the most important thing. What he values is the other two things.
First, he hoped to guess who the Chunwei examiner this time was so that he could understand his political views and writing style.
Of course, Sheng Changquan could not blindly cater to the examiner's temper and lose his edge. His original intention was just to know himself and his enemy.
The more important the exam is, the more careful you must be. If you flatter the examiner too much, then unless the two of you have a tacit understanding and no one explores it, the ending will be difficult to satisfy.
Some examiners will even deliberately ban test papers that "suit their liking" to avoid suspicion.
In short, the water in this matter is too deep and cannot be controlled by humans. Even if Pan Zi comes, he will have to be a gazi.
As for the latter thing that attracted Sheng Changquan's attention, it was his opponents, such as Li Yancheng, Yuan Shanjian, Lou Ben and others.
Of course, it's them, but it's not just them.
After all, these people are just opponents in the Bianjing Urban and Rural Examination.
The world is so big, and there are as many talented and beautiful people as there are countless stars in the world. How can Sheng Changquan, a man of Gou Dao, dare to look down on the people of the world?
To be honest, Sheng Changquan was somewhat confident that he could win the title of Jieyuan in the Zhongxiang Examination.
You know, before the exam, he went crazy against the examiner. Not only did he collect information about Mr. Zhai Jingnian from his father, brother, husband, and friends, but he even went to inquire about the official of the Ministry of Rites, trying to understand his fears. Temperament, political opinions.
Of course, not only the Shen family, but also Yuge's hometown, Sheng Changquan also shamelessly asked for advice.
Therefore, Sheng Changquan dared to say bold words to Minglan, saying that he would definitely pass the provincial examination this time!
As for Jieyuan, it was just luck.
This was already the case for Qiu Wei, let alone Chun Wei. Sheng Changquan took action early.
Since the imperial court had not announced who Chunwei's examiner would be, Sheng Changquan planned to go to Shen's house to find out if the "cunning fox" Shen Shouzheng had any suggestions.
After all, he is Shen Li's best friend.
They are the kind of beloved relatives and friends who have to pay more to sell them out!
However, before Sheng Changquan went to Shen Mansion, he had to go to Yu Mansion today.
After all, he had sent letters to both families before Qiu Wei, so he had to put an end to this matter.
…
"Tap tap tap!"
After a journey, Sheng Changquan arrived at the gate of Yu Mansion in a carriage.
"Um?"
However, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the scene in front of him.
"Why is the main entrance of Yu Mansion closed in broad daylight?"
"Is it possible that there is no one in the house?"
Sheng Changquan shook his head secretly.
impossible!
Even if Mr. Yuge and his family all go out, Tar, their servants still have to stay at the house, right?
Especially the concierge!
"Perhaps the concierge is lazy?" Sheng Changquan thought to himself.
After all, what could happen in the capital?
"Chang Qing!" Sheng Changquan turned around and said, "Go!"
Nodding towards Xu Changqing, Sheng Changquan motioned for him to step forward and knock on the door.
As for Xu Changqing, he had been prepared for a long time. He responded with an extremely considerate "Yes, Master!", and then immediately trotted forward.
Judging from his appearance, he is very dog-legged.
In fact, it's not that Xu Changqing was bad at things in the past, but that sometimes, his approach to small things was indeed a bit rough.
Of course, it's not that he can't be careful, but that he doesn't care.
Perhaps this is a common problem among generals' disciples: they are generous but don't pay attention to details.
If Gu Tingye hadn't experienced many setbacks and suffered repeated defeats, he might not be as careful as Xu Changqing!
These people can only say that they are not confused about big things and don't care about small things.
But for Sheng Changquan, who has been cautious since his mother's womb, this is absolutely intolerable!
However, as for Xu Changqing's problem, even though Sheng Changquan had trained him for six or seven years, it was still not effective and could not completely change him.
This guy always takes two or three days to remember a lesson, but after a period of time, it solidifies again.
If you don't change after repeated admonitions, it will be difficult to achieve results.
well!
In short, it’s hard to describe in one word!
Just like this time, Sheng Changquan just took the opportunity of the day when the results were released to "train" him properly.
However, he estimated that Xu Changqing's nature was difficult to change, and he was afraid that it would take several "several" methods before he could be completely changed.
"Button! Button!"
At this time, Xu Changqing took pictures of the Yu Mansion gate for a long time, but no one came out.
"Strange? Why is there no one in broad daylight?"
After knocking for a long time, no one from Yu Mansion responded at all, so Xu Changqing couldn't help but feel confused.
"Where is the concierge of Yu Mansion?"
Because Sheng Changquan had already sent someone to Yu Mansion to hand over a greeting card before today, so Xu Changqing was sure that the people in Yu Mansion knew that Sheng Changquan was coming today.
However, the current scene made him feel weird: "Is it possible that the Yu Mansion doesn't want to see us? Is it deliberately not seeing people?"
"wrong!"
Xu Changqing shook his head and laughed secretly: "How is this possible?"
"Even if a big shot like Mr. Yu Ge doesn't want to meet Sheng Changquan, he can't be so petty!"
Think about it, the dignified old man's mansion removed all the concierges just to avoid meeting one person?
is it possible?
Obviously not,
"Could it be that something happened to Yu Mansion?"
When he thought of this, Xu Changqing didn't dare to delay any longer and turned back directly.
"Master?"
"this……"
"Um?"
Sheng Changquan also frowned when he saw that Xu Changqing had been knocking for a long time and no one came out of the Yu Mansion.
"Chang Qing, when you handed over the greeting card yesterday, was there anything wrong in this Yu Mansion?" He began to doubt.
"Something's wrong?"
Xu Changqing thought about it carefully, and then replied after a long while: "Master, Yu Mansion was fine yesterday, there was nothing wrong!"
"you sure?"
"Yeah, sure!"
Xu Changqing nodded affirmatively, and then said: "Master, I also saw Mrs. Yu at that time!"
"She happened to be going out at that time, so when I handed in the post, I stopped by to say hello to the old lady. I didn't expect that she would still remember me!"
Because of the friendship between Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Yu, and the friendship between Minglan and Yu Yanran, Sheng Changquan and others became familiar with Mrs. Yu.
