Chapter 9 Destined Fame
(PS: It’s a new day, everyone has tickets in hand......)
"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old?!" Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, thinking that this monkey boy can really talk, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old is much better than nine thousand years old.Coupled with the fact that Wei Zhongxian was impeached by the Donglin Party members headed by Yang Lian just a few years ago, and almost lost his life, what Young Master Zhang said hit Wei Zhongxian's heart even more, so Wei Zhongxian asked happily: "Since You respect Eunuch Wei so much, so why did you bump into our sedan chair? Do you know who our family is?"

"I know." Young Master Zhang replied very honestly: "Just now they said that you are always nine thousand years old. Eunuch Wei is nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old, and you are nine thousand years old. You must be Eunuch Wei's subordinate. Originally, for the sake of Eunuch Wei, I should also respect you, but I was really in a hurry to take the No. 99 Scholar exam, so I bumped into your old sedan chair. You have a lot of adults, so don't take it to heart. I will pass the exam in the future If you are number one, I will kowtow to you in front of Eunuch Wei, who is 99 years old."

"Hahahahaha..." Wei Zhongxian was so comfortable being slapped by Young Master Zhang's tactful flattery, he couldn't help laughing and said, "The monkey boy is quite good at talking, but our family didn't take it seriously. But you just said that after becoming an official I am going to do two things, clearing up the grievances of the 99-year-old Eunuch Wei is the first, and what is the second?"

"The second thing is actually not something that I want to do alone, but something that everyone in the world wants to do." Young Master Zhang really couldn't bear it, and said brazenly: "After I won the first prize, I will have I have the qualification to submit a petition to the court, and at that time, I will submit a petition to the present Long Live, and ask the emperor to approve the construction of a shrine for the 99-year-old Eunuch Wei in honor of his achievements!" (Zhejiang governor Pan Ruzhen shouted: "You shameless thing, stole my invention one year and five months in advance!")
"Build a ancestral hall for me?" Wei Zhongxian was elated, saying that God opened his eyes, and finally a smart person thought of building a ancestral hall for me.Haha, maybe you can surpass them! ——No way, Wei Zhongxian himself is illiterate, superstitious about ghosts and gods, when he was not a eunuch before, he had to pay homage to Guan Erge when he entered the casino, but Young Master Zhang proposed to confess him as a god, Wei Zhongxian was not happy about it, it would be strange.

"Damn it, all the flattery that should be kissed has been kissed. Whether you can pass the test depends on Wei Zhongxian's next sentence." Young Master Zhang was calm on the surface, but he was really nervous in his heart.Fortunately, after Wei Zhongxian laughed secretly, he quickly ordered: "Come here, take our family's famous card (ancient business card) and send this candidate into the examination room. Our family wants to see, this monkey boy said that he Is it bragging to be among the top three?"

"Regardless of whether this monkey kid is bragging or not, and he entered the examination room with our family's famous thorns, the examiners will definitely not dare to stop him without showing our family's face." Wei Zhongxian thought in his heart, "The gang of rotten scholars from the Donglin Party are no longer at odds with our family. Together, this monkey boy is very talkative and sensible, if he really has such a great knowledge and can pass the top three exams, then our family will say a few good words in front of the emperor and let him enter the Imperial Academy, so as to contain and deal with that Help Fu Ru and their disciples. If he is not so educated and cannot pass the palace examination, our family will have nothing to lose."

"Thank you nine thousand years old." Young master Zhang knew Wei Zhongxian's wishful thinking, and said that Liu Baorui's short and fat man's cross talk played a role, and he quickly thanked and flattered him, "When I get the number one in the exam in the future, I will come to Jiu In front of Eunuch Wei, who is nine hundred and ninety-nine years old, you must speak more good words for Eunuch Wei, who is nine thousand years old, so that Eunuch Wei will praise you heavily."

"Hahahaha, the monkey's mouth is really sweet." Wei Zhongxian was even more joyful, and he explained a few more words in the sedan chair, and sent the first Jinyiwei Baihu to take his golden name spur to send Master Zhang to the examination room, and then ordered to continue. The bearers are on their way.Young Master Zhang quietly gave way to the side of the road. It wasn't until Wei Zhongxian's sedan chair walked away that Young Master Zhang found his servant Zhang Shitou leaning on the horse with an earthy face, as if he was so frightened that he couldn't even stand upright.Seeing the servant being frightened like that, as the master, Young Master Zhang couldn't help shaking his underwear soaked in cold sweat, and scolded disdainfully: "No prospect."

Ever since, by mistake, Young Master Zhang, who was already completely desperate for the number one examination, was sent to the examination room by Jin Yiwei's hundred households as if by fate.On the way, the shrewd Zhang Shitou was afraid of revealing his secrets, so naturally he didn't dare to ask Young Master Zhang anything casually, but the Jinyiwei Baihu who was holding Wei Zhongxian's golden name badge asked curiously: "Boy, your name is Eunuch Wei nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old. I really don’t know that Eunuch Wei is nine thousand years old?”

The Jinyiwei Baihu originally wanted to find out the truth of our young master Zhang, and find out whether young master Zhang is flattering or just talking nonsense to survive, but he never thought that young master Zhang whispered in his ear: "This general, what are you talking about?" Just talk about it in front of me, don’t talk nonsense in front of others—Eunuch Wei is nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old, if you say he is nine thousand years old, others will suspect that you want to curse Eunuch Wei for short life Nine hundred and ninety-nine years less life, if the report goes to Eunuch Wei..."

Young Master Zhang hadn't finished speaking yet, the face of the Jinyiwei Baihu was already paler than Zhang Shitou, and he hurriedly bowed to Young Master Zhang and said, "Thank you for reminding me, sir, I have to be careful when I speak in the future. Don't worry, young master, you will stay in the capital from now on." If you encounter any trouble here, even though you can come to Dongchang to find me, Xiao Chuan, Xiao Chuan will definitely do my best."

"Brother Xiao, you are welcome. I haven't thanked you for sending me to the examination room yet." Young Master Zhang is very good at being a man. He took out two 50 taels of silver tickets from Zhang Shitou's package and stuffed them into Xiao Chuan's hand, and said with a smile : "Just a little bit, invite brother Xiao to drink tea. Brother, I am a troublemaker, and I will have to trouble brother Xiao in the capital in the future."

"It's easy to say, easy to say, as long as the brother asks, Brother Yu will definitely help you.—Wow, 100 taels! It's worth more than half a year's salary! Mr. Zhang, you are so rich... When we two brothers hit it off, we just find a day to burn yellow How about paper worshiping brothers?"

"Why pick a date? Burn yellow paper today to worship your brother! Good brother, what do you think?"

"Good brother, good, good, worship brother today!"

While talking, our Young Master Zhang finally arrived at the entrance of the examination room of this subject. Young Master Zhang gave him a wink, and Zhang Shitou immediately stepped forward, knocking on the door that was destined for our Young Master Zhang...

………………

It is an important place for the exam, and the gate of the examination room is naturally guarded by heavy soldiers. Even if ordinary people want to get closer to the gate, it is impossible to get within ten steps—of course, it is different with the golden name of the nine thousand-year-old Eunuch Wei.So after Young Master Zhang's new elder brother Xiao Chuan, who is also a member of the Dongchang Jinyiwei Baihu, showed Wei Zhongxian's golden name, the soldiers and generals guarding the examination room immediately put away their businesslike faces, smiled, nodded and bowed to Young Master Zhang. Servant Zhang Shitou led him to the gate, and Zhang Shitou, who had been instructed by Young Master Zhang, was also unambiguous. He raised his fist and slammed the gate of the examination room.

The gate of the examination room was smashed, and the gate officer inside the gate naturally wanted to come out to check what happened. Xiao Chuan flashed Wei Zhongxian's golden name spur, and the gate officer had to rush in again. After a short while, the undergraduate who heard the news Zhang Ruitu, the main examiner, the editor of the Hanlin Academy and the servant of the Ministry of Rituals, ran to the gate of the examination room with a smile on his face, followed by three deputy examiners, each of whom looked around before they could see clearly what was outside. He yelled and asked: "Where are the candidates sent by Nine Thousand Years? Where is it?! The official so-and-so came to greet you, sir." ——Fortunately, the examiner of the [-]th room of the undergraduate course is in room No. Li couldn't escape, otherwise the scene would be even more lively.

"That's not right. Didn't the story about being promoted to three levels in a row say that there were only two examiners? Why did four come out? Could it be that history will change just like the legend?" Young Master Zhang was a little puzzled.Over there, Xiao Chuan directly showed Wei Zhongxian's famous golden thorn, pointed at Young Master Zhang and said, "My lords, there is an order from Nine Thousand Years, to let the humble Xiao Chuan send this Young Master Zhang to take part in the examination. It's a convenience for the deputy chief examiner." After finishing speaking, Xiao Chuan handed Wei Zhongxian's golden name stab to the chief examiner Zhang Ruitu.

"General Xiao, you don't need to be too polite. Even if you have the guts of a leopard, you don't dare to accept the famous assassination of the nine-thousand-year-old man." Zhang Ruitu waved his hands again and again, and dared not accept the other side. Glittering gold name thorns.Zhang Ruitu said flatteringly again: "General Lao Xiao will report back to Nine Thousand Years old. His old man's orders, the subordinate officials and others will definitely follow and satisfy his old man."

"That's good. At the end of the day, I will definitely convey the original words of the examiner." Xiao Chuan nodded, then cupped his hands to Young Master Zhang and said, "Brother, I have to go back to hand in the order, so I will take my leave first." Speaking of this, Xiao For the sake of Young Master Zhang's 100 taels of silver, he deliberately added, "When the brother is named on the gold list, the eldest brother will take the brother to visit his cousin-in-law."

"It's easy to say, elder brother go slowly." Although Young Master Zhang was a little surprised why Xiao Chuan mentioned his cousin-in-law, he still agreed with a smile on his face.Over there, Zhang Ruitu and the other four chief and deputy chief examiners all gasped. Those officials who are Xiao Chuan's cousin-in-law are all clear about it—that is Tian Ergeng, the current Commander of Jinyiwei!Zhang Ruitu and the other four couldn't help but thought together: "This Mr. Zhang is really good. Not only is he sent by the nine thousand year old Wei Zhongxian with a famous stab, he is also related to the Commander of Jin Yiwei. We must not offend him!"

After Xiao Chuan left, Zhang Ruitu and the three co-examiners did not dare to be negligent, and quickly and respectfully invited Master Zhang into the examination room. Knowing the development of history, Master Zhang was not too polite, and directly entered the gate of the examination room in a grandiose manner, but Zhang Shitou was trembling He didn't know whether he should enter the door, or Zhang Shitou cautiously followed him because of the wink from Young Master Zhang.Although the chief examiner Zhang Ruitu and the three deputy chief examiners felt that it was a bit inappropriate for the candidates to bring their servants into the examination room, they didn't dare to say anything because of Nine Thousand Years' sake.Ever since, our Young Master Zhang unknowingly created a piece of history—becoming the first and only examinee to bring his servants into the examination room in the 250 seven years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!
