prosperous age

Chapter 49 Chapter 49

"Sir, let me go home and tell you, let's go to the county hall to sign up as soon as possible, and take this year's county examination."

Wei Guangde took the teacup, tested the temperature of the water, it was just right, so he took a deep sip, and then said to Father Wei.

"County test?"

Father Wei repeated in surprise.

The eldest son, Wei Wencai, also studied for a few years, and saw that he would be able to take the county examination after another two years, but his son stopped studying.

Father Wei has always been looking forward to his son taking the imperial examination and then going all the way to high school. It doesn't matter if he ranks first, as long as he is on the list.

Father Wei's request is really not high.

If the boss can read it, it doesn't matter if the second child can read it. If he can't read well, he will come back to attack the military.

However, when the result was about to be seen, the boss went home.

As for the second child, Father Wei felt that he would have to wait two years before taking the county examination. His current state of mind was both anticipation and worry. He was looking forward to his son being nominated for the gold medal, and worried because he was afraid of repeating the same mistakes as his elder brother.

So, when I heard the second child talk about going to the county test at the first glance, I suddenly felt sudden for no reason.

"Mr. Sun told you to apply for the county test?"

Father Wei felt that it was not safe, and he was afraid that he had misheard, so he asked again seriously.

"That's right, sir, you can't sign up at the county government hall the day after tomorrow. If you want to take part in this year's county examination, you have to go there to register your name in these two days. Sir, he will also tell his friends Alright, put my name on the guarantee document."

Wei Guangde also finished speaking in one breath. As for replacing Qin Jingchuan, he knew the other four classmates. After all, more than a dozen of them have been taught by the teacher together for more than a year. Just fill in the name and that's it.

If he wants to get the information of several other mutual protection students, the teacher will also entrust his friends in the county school to deal with it.

As for the good friend mentioned by Mr. Wei Guangde, he only knows that his name is Gao Xiang, who is a student of the county school, and only a student of the county school can be a guarantor for the boy.

Mrs. Sun is only a Zengguang student in the county school, so he can't directly guarantee the boy, he must be an entrusted student.

In the past, Mrs. Sun paid more attention to this status, but now that the imperial examinations have been taken seriously, naturally he no longer cares about this title.

"It's only been two days."

Father Wei only pays attention to the important point of time. If he can't go to the county government to report his name in these two days, his son will not be able to participate in the county examination this time. This is the most important thing.

"Is there anything else Mr. Sun said?"

Father Wei continued to ask.

"No, I just asked me to go to the county government office to report my name. I know all the students who are mutually insured, so just fill in the name. I also know the guarantor. It is Mr. Gao Xianggao, a student of the county school."

Wei Guangde replied.

"Well, you go to the backyard now, tell your mother, I'll get someone to set up a car, and today we'll go to the county to settle this matter."

Saying that, Old Man Wei couldn't sit still anymore, he got up directly, and while urging Wei Guangde to go to the backyard, he had already quickly left the gate to ask someone to set up a car.

At the end of Shenshi, that is, when the later generations are almost five o'clock in the afternoon, a carriage wobbled to Pengze County, but the carriage did not enter the city directly, but turned at a fork in front of the city gate, heading towards the pier go.

Naturally, the carriage did not go to the pier, but stopped in front of the Yamen of the Thousand Households between the county town and the pier. Then Wei Guangde jumped out of the carriage first, followed by Father Wei and Mrs. Wei Wu.

The carriage left the Bengshan Fort in the morning, and Wei Wencai and Wu Dong left all the family affairs to Wei Wencai and Wu Dong. Father Wei and Wei Wushi followed Wei Guangde to the county.

As for why they didn't go directly to the city, it was naturally because of time.

At this time, when I ran to the county government office, I was afraid that I might not be able to see the scribes doing business in the ceremony room.

As for the reason, it is actually simple, because the county government office, to be honest, there is really not much to do at ordinary times, and preparing for the county examination is their most important work in a year.

But in the past, at this time, there were already no students who came to sign up. The students who were going to take part in the county examination had already signed up a long time ago, so how could they wait until the last moment.

It was also for this reason that Father Wei asked the carriage to go to the Qianhu Office first, rest for one night, and then enter the county seat to register tomorrow morning.

Regarding the sudden arrival of his sister and brother-in-law, Wu Zhankui was surprised at first, and then amazed when he knew the purpose of coming.

"That's good, that's good. Guangde has made progress. Take the exam well. I'll live at my uncle's house two days before the exam. If you're afraid that it's inconvenient for thousands of households, uncle still has a small courtyard in the city. You can live in it. It's in the county government office." It’s not far away, just wait for the exam.”

Wu Zhankui was very happy to know that Wei Guangde had come to participate in the county examination at such a young age, he held Wei Guangde's little hand and smiled.

Seeing that Wei Guangde came to the county to sign up for the county examination, Wu Zhankui naturally reminded Wu Zhankui of his son Wu Dong, who was also like this three years ago. Failed.

To be honest, in the eyes of Wu Zhankui at the time, it was really a pity that he didn't have many sons, otherwise he really wanted to let Wu Dong take the imperial examination.

It's a pity, who can be blamed?

Born in a military household, without brothers, he can only be a military household for the rest of his life, waiting to succeed him, take over his post, and continue to be this ancestral thousand household.

Undoubtedly, Wei Guangde was lucky, he didn't need to be a military officer, and he could take part in the imperial examination as Yu Ding, without any more scruples.

After a night of rest at my uncle's house, my uncle and aunt arranged a sumptuous dinner for my brother-in-law's family.

As for why Wu Dong didn't come back with him, it's actually very simple, because Bengshan Fort is too close to the county seat, and Wu Dong can get home in half a day on horseback. In fact, he has to go home four or five times a month.

Now there are five horses in the stables of Bengshan Castle, two of which belong to Baihusuo, three horses belong to Qianhusuo, which are Wu Dong's horses, and two of them belong to two of his servants.

Early the next morning, Wu Zhankui accompanied them into the city to register at the county government office.

Although in this era, military officials are severely suppressed by civilian officials, in fact, middle and lower level officials, especially civil and military officials who are not affiliated with each other, get along well with each other.

County magistrates need military officers to help them stabilize the place, and military officers actually care about military preparations, civilian officials who manage money and food, for local officials, everyone is not in the same system, and they care about what you do.

It's just that the military officer doesn't want to offend the civil servants, so it's troublesome to sue you if you have nothing to do.

So in private, the relationship between Wu Zhankui and the county magistrate was just like that. They were polite in person, at least in face.

As for some civil servants who see military generals with their tails up and arrogant, they can only appear between superiors and subordinates or related people, and it is impossible to appear in Pengze County.
