prosperous age

Chapter 109 Chapter 109
Having something to do in the afternoon, Wei Guangde and Zeng Yuanshu hurried upstairs, waking up Wu Dong and Zeng Yuanrui, they were going out to buy clothes.

Both of them knew in their hearts that many of the scholars who had passed the examination of scholar this time would go to the tailor shop to see if there were any raw uniforms.

In just half a day, no matter how much money you pay, you can't make a single piece of clothing.

They didn't mean to ask Wu Dong and Zeng Yuanrui to get up and go with them, but they meant to wake them up and say something so that they wouldn't see anyone after a while.

Without waiting for them, Wei Guangde followed Zeng Yuanshu out of the inn.

Zeng Yuanshu is also a seasoned man. After going downstairs, he did not go directly to find a tailor shop, but asked the shopkeeper of the inn. After all, at this time of the year, there should be many new talents going to buy student uniforms. Go door to door.

The owner of the inn must know where there is a student uniform, so if you ask, you can save a lot of detours.

"Go to Zhuangyuan Bridge. When you get to the head of the bridge, you don't pass the bridge. Turn left and there is a clothing store. There must be student uniforms there. It's Wei Xianggong's, I'm afraid it's not suitable."

The shopkeeper knew their intentions, so naturally he knew everything.

But the meaning in the words is also very clear, Wei Guangde is a little short in stature, maybe there is no suitable clothes for him.

Naturally, he didn't care much about this small problem, so Zeng Yuanshu took Wei Guangde to the ready-made clothing store, which was already crowded with people.

Walking into the shop, there is a big circle first as usual. Nima is here at this time, only the students who are on the list this time, and scholars should put the word "li" in front of them wherever they go.

"Brother Lao, you are also there."

After saluting, I looked at the people in the shop. Well, Lao Kan and Zhang Ke are also there, and the other two are from Jiujiang Mansion.

"You guys are here too, haha, hurry up and find suitable clothes, Meng Xian is still changing in the back room."

Lao Kan saw that it was Zeng Yuanshu and Wei Guangde who came in, so he naturally knew their purpose.

The shopkeeper was right. Zeng Yuanshu went to find the owner of the shop, and then he picked up a suit of clothes and tried them on. When Wei Guangde arrived, the owner of the tailor stared at him for a long time before apologizing: "This Mr. I really haven't prepared any clothes that fit you, even the smallest size might be too big."

"Can you change it? Is there someone in your store, change it for me right away, and you will not lose the amount of money."

Wei Guangde thought about it on the way here, maybe there is really no one in the tailor shop that fits him well, and I'm afraid it won't look good in a large student uniform to go to the Gongyuan. Yes, as long as you can get by.

"This is fine, but the modified version is definitely not that good."

When the shopkeeper heard what Wei Guangde said, he naturally nodded immediately, but he also said the ugly words first, so don't change it and think it's not good.

"Don't dawdle, please hurry up and find someone to measure the size and change it for me."

Naturally, Wei Guangde did not hesitate, and immediately said to the shopkeeper.

"Sister-in-law later."

Wei Guangde and the others were busy with the procedure that they had to go through after being selected as a scholar, but not far from Jiujiang Fucheng, a fast horse was galloping.

Immediately there was a postman with a bamboo tube behind his back, constantly urging his horse to gallop.

He received an errand at noon yesterday, and he was assigned to send official documents to the north with another brother, but he did not draw lots well, he was going to Jiujiang Mansion, and the brother who was traveling with him had already delivered the official documents last night. Arrived at Nankang Mansion.

Soon, the postmen rode into the city, and the results of the Nanchang City Court Examination also spread to Jiujiang Mansion.

"Brothers, the garden is full of fragrance tonight."

At this time, on the avenue of Jiujiang City entering the city along the Xiaonan Gate, several noble sons were chatting and joking, arranging the nightlife for tonight.

"Da da da"

The horse's hooves hit the bluestone slab and made a crisp sound of hooves, and the young masters hurriedly sideways to get out of the way.

Well, I'm used to being arrogant in the past, and the few of them basically walked across the entire street.

However, when they came on horseback like this, even though their faces were full of displeasure, no one was stupid enough to hit the horse.

A few people hid on the side of the road, looking at the postman on the horse, but no one scolded a few words, it seems that to such a person, scolding is also dirty their mouths.

When the postman rode away on horseback, one of the young masters looked at the back over there and muttered: "The person from Xiaonanmen, it must not be the result of the trial in Nanchang."

"What Nanchang? What happened in Nanchang?"

"He said Nanchang's college exam, have you taken it?"

"If I want to pass the government test, I can pass it casually. If I don't want to, I'll just forget about the hospital test. I heard that the old man is quite serious, and he lost face for nothing."

"Someone in your family is going to take the exam? Your father's son who is outside."

"Huh? Hongfu, you still have a brother, haha"

The young masters were laughing and making a fuss by the side of the road.

"Go, go, what are you talking about, your Yu family is better off for yourselves, your uncle is not in Zhejiang, this time the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang are so fierce, be careful that your uncle will also suffer."

The person who spoke was naturally Zhang Hongfu.

In fact, the Zhang family’s thoughts are similar to the Wu family’s. Firstly, they are considered relatives. Secondly, for military generals like them, it is also a good thing to have relatives who study imperial examinations. It would be even better if Wei Guangde could enter the court as an official. up.

Now the Ming Dynasty is the voice of the civil official group. Even the emperor often has to consider the interests of the civil official. After all, the whole country is controlled by them.

And the one who joked about Zhang Hongfu just now is a member of the Yu family, a gentry family in Dehua County, and they are related to their Zhang family. A nerd, even if you ask him to come out to play, he won't come.

As for the Yu family who is now on the stage, it is naturally his uncle who Zhang Hongfu said just now works in Zhejiang, Yu Wenwen, a Jinshi in Jiachen List in the 23rd year of Jiajing, holds the position of Zhejiang Right Councilor.

"Hehe, thank you for your concern. My uncle is fine. Our family has received the news."

The young man who spoke continued to laugh.

"I didn't get to the point when I said so much. It can't be that your second uncle has a son outside."

Soon someone deliberately misinterpreted Zhang Hongfu's words, your father didn't have an illegitimate child outside, so could it be that your second uncle had one outside?

"Get out, do you want to kick your grandfather?"

Zhang Hongfu made a gesture to raise his leg to kick, but of course, this kick certainly didn't really kick.

"I have a little cousin who went to Nanchang Mansion this year to take the examination."

"Little cousin? From Wei Li?"

"alright."

"Oh, I see. This year, Wei Li announced a little Wenqu star, who looked like a 13 years old. I remember, it's true. Your aunt just married to Peng Ze. She's really your cousin." .”

"Go, go to the yamen and ask."

"That's my cousin's cousin, too, go, go and ask."

Zhang Hongfu thought about it and said, with the efficiency of the yamen, looking at the sky, even if the news is delivered, it may be tomorrow, so I just saw it, so why not go to the yamen directly to ask someone.
