Chapter 3

3.20 The grand banquet and martial arts competition are approaching

"Come on, my virtuous brother must drink a few more cups. We, the disciples of Wu Xun, have always been dismissed by those poor people as 'unlearned and incompetent'. Unexpectedly, my virtuous brother can pass the county test today.

Brother and others can't help, and I won't be stingy with a banquet. "It's still a VIP courtyard in Tongfu Inn, Jia Lian smiled and picked up the wine glass.

There is no way, it is still within the theoretical prohibition time for banquets, and it is definitely not allowed to drink in the capital. Although it is against the rules to go out to drink, but everyone does it like this, so they pretend to be stupid together.

The same is true for the others, except for Wei Ruolan, all the heirs of the Eight Dukes Group set up four tables in the yard to celebrate Wei Xu's passing the county examination.

"Everyone is really..." Wei Xu didn't know how to explain it to them, because the county test is actually an entry-level qualification test, and only those who pass it can take the government test.

That's all, not to mention that he is only No.9. Although he is regarded as "the top ten in the county" and has an honorary title, he cannot "go to school as usual" like the "county chief" and be directly regarded as a scholar.

Of course, there is one thing he will never say, that is, except for reciting subjects such as filling in the blanks, the article question in it happened to be the same as the question of a certain county in the Qing Dynasty stored in the jade pendant. He copied it directly, but changed some things that did not match The place.
Cough!

"Brother Wei, you don't need to be modest. Anyway, we old men don't understand, so just drink it!" Niu Ben laughed and picked up the wine glass and drank it down. By the way, he lit the bottom of the glass.

Wei Xu pointed at him speechlessly, and drank three cups in a row before the applause passed.

"Brother Wei, since you have passed the county exam, you must have mastered the government exam?" Finally, a knowledgeable person came, Liu Dong asked with a smile.

"Who dares to say that!" Wei Xu smiled wryly and shook his head, "I don't even have a teacher, and I only know the basic rules of the exam. Whoever dares to say it will definitely pass?"

As soon as these words came out, there was no one on the scene who could answer.

Just like all kinds of examinations in modern times, in fact, the imperial examinations also have different levels of rules. Many of the candidates who passed down the poems and books can be improved through family experience.

Even if the family tradition is not so strong, you can learn from the teacher and improve from the teacher. Therefore, the teacher-student relationship in ancient times is very serious and reliable, even more exaggerated than father and son.

In the entire feudal history, there were not many cases where father and son turned against each other because of political disagreements or other reasons, but there were not many cases where teachers and students turned against each other, and most of them were recorded in history books.

Unfortunately, because of Wu Xun's background, Wei Xu couldn't even find a master who was willing to accept him, not just him, but the entire Wu Xun Group.

Otherwise, Jia's clan studies would not have arranged for Jia Dairu, an old boy who didn't even have a reputation as a scholar, to be the top leader. What can this teach?
By the way, Jia Zhu's father-in-law Li Shouzhong contributed a lot to Jia Zhu's winning of Juren, and even Li Wan provided a lot of help.

"We brothers can only raise a glass together. I wish brother Wei a smooth exam!" Feng Ziying stood up with a smile and picked up the wine glass, and the others immediately followed with laughter.

Wei Xu took a glance, smiled and picked up the wine glass to drink. It seems that Feng Ziying can make such a good reputation and have such a wide range of contacts.

"Okay, brothers can talk about the imperial examination, but I have to mention another matter here, which is actually that matter.

Jiannu's mission didn't leave all the time, so they stayed at the hotel in Lifanyuan. Although no one paid attention to them these days, they didn't miss out on eating and drinking.

At first we all thought the matter was over, Brother Wei told us to be careful before, but no one really took it seriously.

But unexpectedly, this group of Jian slaves really found a reason. The cancellation of the last martial arts competition was because of the royal affairs, and the timing was inconvenient. Now that the matter is almost over, it will naturally continue.

Not to mention that they have already let us know that if we don’t pick up, we must be scared. They don’t ask too much, just let us send someone to take them out of Shanhaiguan.I really think my life is too long. " Niu Ben said angrily.

"It makes sense." Wei Xu really didn't take the so-called "martial arts contest" seriously. With his current skills, he would be an enemy of hundreds of people on the battlefield." What I said last time was to postpone the date.

However, it is probably tricky for this group of Jiannu to come up with this. If there is no accident, there must be someone capable of it, right? "

"This." Liu Dong looked very embarrassed, "We also found out later, a handyman in the Lifan Academy sent letters many times, and when we found out, they had already made arrangements."

"Don't say that these things are all assigned by this handyman." Wei Xu said angrily.

"Ah..." Jia Lian's expression became even more embarrassed, "This handyman is considered a remote branch of the Rongguo Mansion, and was arranged by the mansion back then.

He committed suicide after the accident. In order to appease his family, we did not pursue it seriously. However, according to our intelligence, he did mention it accidentally when chatting with Jiannu.Furthermore, he had a quarrelsome relationship with a servant of the Lian family, Wang Feng, Prince of the Ministry of War, and the two often drank together for many years. "

"Comfort the family?" Wei Xu was stunned for a moment. He didn't remember Rongguo Mansion having such a humane rule, "Second brother Lian, are you trying to appease that family member directly in the room?"

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on the past. Jia Lian's hobby is really quite famous.

"Uh, this." Jia Lian stammered, "Brother, I'm not... just a female family member, just give me some money."

"Okay, I understand." Wei Xu shook his head speechlessly. This person is known as "pulling all dirty and smelly things into the house". Word of mouth, or a real letter?"

"The letter, although we didn't see anything substantial, it was indeed a handwritten letter." Liu Dong said with certainty.

"Where's the font?" Checking handwriting is basic common sense, and Wei Xu doesn't think they will forget it.

"It's very neat in lower case. I haven't found a corresponding person in the Lifan Academy." Jia Lian shook his head.

"Zanhua Xiaokai." Wei Xu let out a long sigh of relief, "Unfortunately, it's too late."

"Brother Wei, you mean that little widow?" Liu Xianglian interrupted abruptly, causing everyone's expressions to change.

"The dead one has a good relationship with the servants of Wang Zilian's family?" Wei Xu shook his head, "I'm afraid there is a prairie above his head.

This little widow is not simple, sleeping with three men with just one leg, if I guessed correctly, those two dog slaves who can't even read words never thought it would be like this.

There's no need for the two of them to check, they must be just tool people who help run errands, even if they are not dead, they can't say anything. Only big families can cultivate literate women.

She should be the dark child that those poor people have planted long ago, and it will be used at this time depending on the situation. Brother Lian, if the younger brother guessed correctly, you got up from her bed this morning, right? "

Jia Lian's face was completely pale.

"Brother Wei, isn't it so exaggerated?" Shi Meng asked stupidly. This scholar who came from a martial arts background still doesn't believe that society is so dark.

"Don't you know if you check it?" Wei Xu shrugged, "Don't take it too seriously, the second brother Lian must have already told about our meeting today.

As long as you confirm whether the little widow is still there, it will take less than an hour to go back and forth, and the message will be delivered quickly. "

Since Anzi had already been used, he had to either put it away or destroy it directly. He would never put it in the same place and wait for others to follow suit.

"There's no need to check." Jia Lian murmured, "She said that there was something to do with her natal family today, and she wanted to go back and have a look. I also gave her ten taels of silver."

"Wang Zilian!" Hou Fei slammed his fist on the table.

"Okay, everyone, prepare carefully. Although my younger brother said that he will continue to prepare for the imperial examination, he has never let go of his hard work, and he will never miss it when the time comes.

If there are no accidents, everyone's skills should have been spread, and the other party must fully understand our situation, right Brother Lian? "

Jia Lian was so blocked that he couldn't speak. When he and the little widow Happy, the situation of the five contestants had already been revealed.

"Although Jiannu understands our strength, we also understand them!" Niu Ben said puzzled, "It's nothing more than two-way transparency."

"Although this group of Jian slaves have not left, it is not difficult to change people in the middle. Presumably our opponents have been replaced, and all the previous information has been scrapped." Wei Xu shrugged, and a word made them all change their faces drastically.

"Brother Wei, how long do you think it will take?" Liu Dong asked seriously.

"It should wait until I finish the government exam." Wei Xu smiled lightly, "Here I am busy studying, and I am exhausted after the exam. Another martial arts competition will save me a lot of trouble."

There was no sound at the scene.
