Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 22
(PS: There are two updates today, and the first one will be delivered.)
After the battle between the Guozijian and the Donglin Party, our Young Master Zhang deservedly became the leader of the Wei Party and the uncrowned king among the candidates for this subject. It is needless to say that Lu Wanling and other supervisors flattered Young Master Zhang in every possible way. The officials of the Imperial College, such as offering wine, Jiancheng, Dianshu, and the unnamed officials of the Ministry of Rites also ran to Young Master Zhang, nodding and bowing their heads, flattering, their words were so nasty, and their expressions were so flattering, that our Young Master Zhang felt a little embarrassed. Don't rush to say goodbye, lest goose bumps will fall all over the floor.But even so, hundreds of Jinshi and officials of all sizes sent Young Master Zhang out of the Guozijian like stars, and sent him to the official sedan chair personally arranged by the Guozijian Jijiu, and said goodbye to Young Master Zhang with tears.

"Oops, we seem to have forgotten one thing." When Young Master Zhang's sedan chair turned around the corner, Ye Tingxiu, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, suddenly exclaimed, and asked other officials of the Imperial Academy: "Have you notified Zhang Tanhua to let him Review your homework and prepare to take the palace exam on March [-]th?"

All the officials of the Imperial College shook their heads together, saying that they did not tell Young Master Zhang about this matter.Guozijian was in a hurry to sacrifice wine, and was about to go after him on horseback when Jian Cheng of Guozijian said, "Master Jijiu, don't worry, after the general examination, you have to take part in the imperial examination to rank. Impossible to know? Besides, He Siye is responsible for arranging the registration of candidates today, and he must have notified Zhang Tanhua when he registered." Ye Tingxiu was relieved, and because there were too many Jinshi tribute students reporting to the Imperial College today, she got busy Soon I completely forgot about it...

Returning to the Liansheng Inn in a sedan chair, Zhang Shitou, the loyal servant of Young Master Zhang, was already waiting impatiently at the door of the inn. As soon as he saw Young Master Zhang get off the sedan chair, he rushed forward and knelt down on one knee to pay his respects. , said with a grin: "Young master welcomes you back to the store, Master Zhang, is it going well to report to the Imperial College today?" Young Master Zhang nodded, then knocked Zhang Shitou on the head, and shouted: "Don't call me Master, Master! I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, so don't call me old, or call me young master as before, do you understand?"

"Understood, Master." Zhang Shitou agreed with a smile, and then leaned into Young Master Zhang's ear and whispered: "Master, go back to the room, someone has been waiting for you in the room for a long time."

"Who? Is it Xiao Chuan? He wants to play the autumn wind again?" Young Master Zhang who had no friends in the capital asked casually.Zhang Shitou shook his head with a lewd smile, and said, "It's not him. As for who it is, young master, you'll know when you go in and have a look."

"Still playing mystery with me?" Young Master Zhang kicked Zhang Shitou again, and shouted: "Okay then, lead the way."

"Little one obeys." Zhang Shitou's small face immediately turned into a flower with a smile, and hurried forward to lead the way, nodding and bowing, leading Young Master Zhang into the shop.When he was about to reach the room, Zhang Shitou suddenly and mysteriously signaled Young Master Zhang to slow down and not to make a sound. Young Master Zhang vaguely guessed one or two, then walked lightly to the door of his room, and walked through the crack of the door. Peeping in the room, it was as expected - Xiong Hu in a coarse cloth dress led the beautiful maid Xiu'er, sitting in Young Master Zhang's room and whispering something!Young Master Zhang was ecstatic in his heart, but when he took a closer look, Young Master Zhang was a little dumbfounded——Xiong Hu and Xiu'er were blushing admiring the spring painting fan that Young Master Zhang left in the room!
"Sure enough, it's not a good thing. No wonder he never leaves this fan. All the paintings on it are like this." Xiong Hu scolded shyly.Xiu'er nodded in agreement, and also blushed and scolded in a low voice: "And his servant, not to mention he is not a good guy, just now he has been staring at you, miss, and he doesn't know what to pretend in his head."

"My boy, your courage is really getting bigger and bigger." Young Master Zhang was furious, and he rolled up his sleeves and was about to beat Zhang Shitou.Fortunately, Xiong Hu cleared up Zhang Shitou's grievances in time, "Xiu'er, if you want to say that Zhang Shitou has been peeking at you, just say so, there is no need to push me out of the tank." When he got up, Young Master Zhang stopped the fist that had hit Zhang Shi's head, and hummed: "You are smart, if you dare to harass your future young mistress, I will not spare you, Master!"

"Who? Who?" Eldest Young Master Zhang's voice became louder. Xiong Hu and Xiu'er, who were peeping at the Spring Palace paintings in the room, turned pale with fright, and hurriedly put Young Master Zhang's Spring Palace painting fan back to its original place. .Young Master Zhang smiled wickedly, knocked on the door, coughed and said, "Miss Xiong, don't panic, it's Xiaosheng Zhang Haogu."

"Yuan... so it's Mr. Zhang. Please come in, Mr. You are welcome." It would be a lie to say that Xiong Hu was not in a hurry. tone of voice.Fortunately, our young master Zhang has always been a polite and modest gentleman, and he politely agreed: "Thank you, miss, that Xiaosheng offended you." Shi Shi also brazenly followed in, his eyes stared at the servant girl Xiu'er and he didn't let go, Xiu'er was so ashamed that she quickly turned her face away, not daring to vent her anger.In the end, Young Master Zhang couldn't stand it anymore, and hummed: "Shitou, you have tea with Miss Xiu'er, I have something to discuss with Miss Xiong alone."

"Of order." Zhang Shitou happily agreed, and rushed to Xiu'er to make an inviting gesture, "Miss Xiu'er, please." She was even redder, but after thinking about it, Xiong Hu nodded and agreed, and Xiu'er shyly followed the dancing Zhang Shitou out of the room, leaving the poor beautiful sheep Xionghu and the big gray wolf Young Master Zhang alone in the room . (Master Zhang: It seems to be the opposite, right?)

After driving away Xiu'er who was in the way, Xiong Hu soon regretted it so much that her intestines were almost green - because after there was no one else around, Master Zhang's thief eyes rolled around her face even more presumptuously, and the smile on his face became even stronger. The more obscene, the more shameless Xiong Hu felt, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.In the end, Xiong Hu couldn't bear it any longer, and forced a straight face and hummed: "What are you looking at? It's not the first time we met, haven't seen enough?"

"Of course I haven't seen enough, even if I watch it for a lifetime, I still can't get enough." Young Master Zhang replied with a lewd smile.Xiong Hu was ashamed, wanted to hold down Young Master Zhang and beat him up but felt embarrassed, so he could only turn his face away and hummed: "Congratulations, I don't know if the examiner of the undergraduate course is blind or took your money , it really made you a fool."

"Conscience of heaven and earth, I, Zhang Haogu, swear to the heavens, if I send a tael of silver to the examiner!" Young Master Zhang became anxious when he heard this, and swore, "Then let me die with an arrow piercing my heart, or call me I won't be able to marry you for a lifetime, and I will be a bachelor for the rest of my life."

"Bah, dogs really can't spit out ivory." Xiong Hu blushed and asked, "Who said I'm going to marry you?"

"If you don't plan to marry me, then why are you coming to this inn?" Eldest Young Master Zhang asked with a lewd smile, "Could it be that Miss Xiong came to Xiaosheng's room just to appreciate Tang Bohu's famous paintings?" His pink face suddenly turned into a red cloth, he stood up and walked out, angrily said: "If you talk nonsense again, I will leave now."

"Don't." Young Master Zhang hurriedly stopped Xiong Hu, and said with a playful smile: "Miss Xiong, don't be angry, Xiaosheng is just making a harmless joke."

Xiong Hu gave Young Master Zhang a white look, and said in a low voice: "Is this a joke? If it was the past, who would dare to say such a frivolous thing in front of me, I would knock out his teeth!" Zhang Da knew that Xiong Hu would do what he said. The young master shivered, touched his lips subconsciously, the exaggerated reaction made Xiong Hu laugh, and couldn't help smiling: "Don't worry, my temper has changed a lot now, as long as you don't talk glibly, don't... Move your feet, and I won't argue with you."

"Then what if you do something to me? What do you say?" Young Master Zhang asked.Xiong Hu was so angry that he almost gave Young Master Zhang a slap in the face, clenched his fists and said angrily, "If you say another frivolous word, I will really leave." Young Master Zhang was afraid that Xiong Hu would really be angry, so he hurriedly transferred The topic said: "Okay, no kidding, Miss Xiong, you came to the inn to find me today, besides thanking me, do you have other things to do?"

"If there is no business, can I come to congratulate you, a rascal?" Xiong Hu muttered in his heart, nodded and said: "That's right, the little girl came here today to ask to see the young master, it is indeed to ask for something."

"Miss Xiong, please tell me something." Young Master Zhang agreed with a smile—of course, if Xiong Hu asked Young Master Zhang to save Xiong Tingbi, our Young Master Zhang would naturally offer an exchange immediately, otherwise Young Master Zhang really didn't want to take that risk.However, to the surprise of Young Master Zhang, Xiong Hu suddenly held a document from his arms, held it in front of Young Master Zhang, lowered his head and choked up, and said, "Mr. This is an opportunity to get a glimpse of the sky, my little sister would like to ask you to present this pleading paper to the current Holy Majesty at that time."

"Submit this pleading paper to the Holy One?" First Young Master Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately understood - it must be a pleading paper to appeal to Xiong Tingbi.

Thinking of this, Young Master Zhang immediately showed a sly smile, and bowed his head in front of Xiong Hu, intending to ask what terms to exchange.Unexpectedly, at this time, someone outside the window suddenly shouted: "Brother Zhang, don't answer it, it will only delay your future." Amidst the voice, the window was opened, and Master Zhang's elder brother, Jin Yiwei Ten Xiao Chuan, one of the three Taibaos, jumped in, grabbed Eldest Young Master Zhang and said, "Brother Zhang, it's for your own good, you can't accept this pleading paper."
