Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 552

The aristocratic families these days are really called mothers who have milk!

Originally, they were not too enthusiastic about Qingzhou's occupation of these big Tu families in Liaodong, and they were even a little bit resistant, especially Wang Hou and other officials with more than [-] shi were beheaded, which made the distance even longer. He has occupied Xiangping for a full month. However, none of the gentry and village elders took the initiative to come to Zhendong General's Mansion to meet.

But as soon as the post about opening a course to obtain a scholar was posted, it seemed that there were still officials to do it. Wang Hou’s general’s mansion finally became lively. The servants lined up at the gate carrying the load.

And not only the Xuantu family, Liaodong County, which was annexed by Wang Hou before, even the Qingzhou gentry and Jinzhou gentry who went north from Jiaocheng, all bet on Wang Hou's door.

What made Wang Hou even more helpless was that he had to meet the past one after another without missing any one.

Nobility fame!What is gentry fame?In fact, it’s the same principle as making relatives in the countryside every day. I met and chatted with the elders of these big aristocratic families, and became familiar with each other to get closer to each other. It's the fame of the gentry.

But just chatter!Changing his name to Wang Hou, what he can't stand is that these guys are bragging when they have nothing to do!The Qingzhou gentry could still be better, knowing the temper of their own state shepherd, they took their children with a familiar face, put down gifts and left, but these local families in Liaodong, good guys, are better than each other!
Bringing the children of his own family, Wang Hou's mouth was twisted when he saw it, or he was ugly than him, or he looked like a bookworm, or he looked like a playboy, but in the mouths of these old natives , he became a child prodigy who looked like Pan An, who was capable of writing at the age of three, capable of martial arts at the age of five, and who was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the saint at the age of eight, just like Wang Hou who could get help from his son/grandson/eldest nephew, soared immediately and became the leader of the world. , he almost kicked Mr. Cao off his throne and assisted him Wang Hou to get on.

This is a tradition that Han scholars and bureaucrats have to carry out every time they choose officials, and Shilin is famous!It's all about blowing!Usually you blow me up, I blow you up, everyone is a celebrity, when it comes time to promote Xiaolian, then go to the magistrate to blow it up, whoever has the most famous reputation on weekdays, this issue of Xiaolian Whose it is.

Of course, family operations and all kinds of dark and dirty behind-the-scenes transactions are unavoidable. Even in the Tang Dynasty, when the imperial examination has officially become a national system, it is still so popular. Just like posting small advertisements along the street in later generations, send out your proud poems and songs in exchange for the appreciation and support of these big shots.

In addition, the children of the nobles of Longda are visiting uncles and uncles of the family, and they are constantly making connections secretly. Even the content of the imperial examination is not important. Fame decides.

Li Bai is a great anti-example. He has all the talents, but he is too crazy. He made the imperial concubine rub his ink, made Gao Lishi take off his boots, and he didn't even bother to write a letter to curry favor with the powerful. In the end, he let him write in the imperial examination Splendid Articles, is still afraid of death when it comes up, and its name will be lost to Sun Shan.

But in this time and space, the tricks used by these aristocratic families are not easy to use!
Finally, on the night before the imperial examination, Yang Zuo, the former envoy of Xiangping, and his genius nephew who "made a poem at the age of three" sent out the door, and Wang Hou finally got a long slack. Take a breath.

"It's time to start the exam!"

Fortunately, he vigorously promotes the use of paper instead of bamboo slips. Now on the wooden couch under his desk, there are piles of poems and poems tied up like a love letter written by a little girl in later generations to her favorite Ouba. There was a few hundred kilograms, and his wooden kang was crushed.

But following Wang Hou and watching Yang Zuo's dangling back, Xu Shu, who was born in a poor family and suffered repeated setbacks, hummed the nursery rhymes from the Huan Ling period with disdain.

"To be a scholar, one does not know the book. To be filial and honest, the father lives away. Han Su is pure, white and turbid like mud, and a good general is as timid as a chicken!"

This Xu Shu is really blind for not being a royal doctor. At this time, this kid is still a complete shit. Wang Hou, who was stretching his waist with ease, couldn't help laughing, and suddenly asked again with great interest. road.

"Xu Yuanzhi! Who do you like more in this imperial examination?"

"The hometown of Confucius and Mencius in Qingzhou, Zhuge Yu, Wang Jie, Tian Hui, etc. are all famous people for a while, Liaodong has been stained with dust for a long time, there are not too many outstanding people, only Wei Yan, Liu Pu is considered a talent, and the rest are mere generations. ! This time the open subject, the top list should not be these few people!"

Frowning, he had been pointing the country with Zhuge Liang for a long time. Xu Shu looked confident and spoke confidently, but after hearing his words, Wang Hou couldn't help frowning slightly.

The exam hasn't started yet!As one of the chief examiners, Xu Shu had already decided on the top list in his heart. Even if he didn't take a penny of bribes, it would still not be a good thing.

"Tomorrow is my first exam to get an official in Liaodong, and there will be a lot of trouble. Tonight, I have to trouble Yuan Zhi to think about the exam questions. The soldiers under Wei Yan's command will also be dispatched by Yuan Zhi. You must guard the exam papers." The content must not be leaked in advance!"

Wang Hou is also as strict as the college entrance examination in later generations. The teacher who writes the papers has to be confined for a long time before the exam. The ten staff who are responsible for choosing questions for him are still eating and drinking in a small courtyard!Xu Shu, who was the editor-in-chief like Ji Xiaolan, didn't go out for several days!Listening to Wang Hou's order, Liu Bei's first-class military adviser also clasped his fists with a serious face.

"My lord, don't worry, I'll save you as an official!"

Don't worry, it's all strange!Now the most worrying thing is you!After sending Xu Shu out, he pinched his chin and pondered for a while, when Wang Hou suddenly slapped his thigh again.

"Sakuragi!"

"Tiantian Yingji Yingji! I'm afraid my concubine will be forgotten by the master to the dust pile!"

During the yelling, Zhuge Ying, the little follower, did not come out. He was wearing bright red deep clothes, and he became more and more mature. The back room came around.

"Yingji went back to her hometown to visit her relatives, to appease your uncle, Mr. Zhugexuan. These days, my concubine is serving the master, and the master has to endure his dissatisfaction!"

"Aren't I reluctant to torment Madam, so I let that girl Ying Ji run errands!"

Seeing Cao Hongjie's delicate face flushed with flying vinegar, and her cute little mouth curled up slightly, Wang Hou's heart skipped a beat, and he began to laugh enthusiastically.

"I'll just open my mouth and say nice things, and the coaxed concubine is in a daze!"

He rolled his eyes again, but Cao Hongjie's smile was a little sweeter again, and he asked more charmingly.

"I don't know what the master has ordered!"

A duplicity man!When it comes to business matters, Wang Hou immediately straightened his expression, saying that he was not willing to toss about, but he gave an extra solemn order.

"Red Festival, boil a pot of paste tonight, and then cut some kraft paper for my husband. I will use it in the imperial examination tomorrow!"

"Master, don't worry, this concubine will do it now!"

In a good mood, humming a little tune, Cao Hongjie also went out gracefully, leaving only Wang Hou to look at a lot of papers written by himself, and the big villain laughed sinisterly.
