The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 96: Daddy’s Promise to Get Marriage (2)
The days of waiting for the rankings to be released were extremely difficult, and scholars from all over the world invited each other to hold literary meetings, almost every day.Firstly, if we get to know each other, we can make many like-minded friends, and secondly, maybe we can meet the noble person we are destined for?If there are friends who will be promising in the future and become officials, many friends have many paths!

The location of the Wenhui varies, sometimes in the biggest tea house in the city, sometimes in a painting boat by the river, sometimes in a garden of a certain family, and sometimes simply in the brothel Chu Guan.

Wei Qingyuan is not very active in this kind of literary society. He especially doesn't like those people talking about poetry and papers while flirting with those brothel girls and kissing me. He also dislikes other scholars. After the scholar, he fawned on them.Therefore, after going there once, he stopped going and stayed in the room every day to practice punctuation and horizontal writing.

Wei Qingyuan is quite a self-disciplined person, he feels that time cannot be wasted, and participating in those so-called literary meetings is a waste of time.Not only did he not go by himself, but he also advised Zhao Shihua not to go too, leaving Zhao Shihua speechless.

In fact, Qian Rui is too lazy to deal with those who come to curry favor, and the really talented are often arrogant about their talents, he also doesn't like it.Of course, the most important thing is that Jiang Yang's popular oiran has been invited to add to the fun several times.He was young, well-born, and from a good family background, so he was often teased by other older scholars.He didn't want to leave a romantic impression in Zhao Shihua's eyes, so he had no choice but to keep a cold face, ignore those jokes at all, and keep a distance of at least six feet from those women.

Therefore, many scholars said behind Qian Rui's arrogance that he looked down on others, but in fact he was really wronged.In the end, Qian Rui didn't even wait for the list, and decided to go back early.Anyway, the state government will send the results of the rural examination to the county government as soon as possible.Moreover, he is very confident in this rural examination.

Wei Qingyuan heard that Qian Rui was going back, thinking of his wife and daughter at home, he also planned to go back with him.Zhao Shihua couldn't persuade him, hesitated for a while, and decided to stay.He also misses his wife and children, but Zhao Shihua knows that he was born in a humble family, he has no family to rely on, and he can only rely on himself for everything, and now is a good opportunity to make friends.

Qian Rui did what he said, and went to the Lin Xue government with Wei Qingyuan the next day to explain the situation, and set off to go home the next day.

Zhao Shihua goes out to socialize almost every day.He is a person who is good at communication by nature, he can always find something worth learning from different people, and he is good at understanding people's hearts, every compliment is just right, he made many friends very quickly, and became popular in the circle Very good reviews.

However, although Zhao Shihua and many people on the surface look like brothers and sisters, but in his heart, he is still close.He has only casual acquaintances with others, but there is one person who really makes him admire.

That was the third son of the He family, a prominent family in Jiangyang. His name was Miao, and his character was Minglang.Three members of He Minglang's family were working as officials outside, among them, his uncle was the Minister of the Honglu Temple of the fourth rank in the imperial court, his uncle was the magistrate of the fifth rank in Suzhou Prefecture, and his uncle was the magistrate of a county in Qianzhou.

He Minglang's father also served as the magistrate of Qipin County, but unfortunately died of illness early.Fortunately, he was protected by his family, who allowed him to study and become an adult, and his uncle made the decision to marry the prostitute daughter of an official family in Huzhou as his wife, and he had no concubines.He Minglang is 31 years old this year. He has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son is 12 years old, the second son is [-] years old, and the daughter is [-] years old.

The two met at a literary meeting. After talking, judging from each other's speech and behavior, they only felt that they were like-minded, and soon they both felt a little sympathetic to each other.Zhao Shihua admires He Minglang's proficiency in classics and history, and his ability to apply what he has learned. He is confident but not arrogant. He also has outstanding literary talent and good character. Looking at the students for reference this time, no one can match him.

And He Minglang also thinks that Zhao Shihua is modest and prudent, generous and honest with others, tactful in dealing with things, and has a wide range of contacts. In addition, he has been a teacher for others and has experience in handling government affairs. The only deficiency is that he is not familiar with classics and history.But after knowing Zhao Shihua's background, he understood that what was lacking, he could make up for it in just one year. Even if he failed this subject, he would surely pass the next one.

Sure enough, after the list was released, He Minglang really topped the list and became the leader of the provincial examination.And Zhao Shihua also did well in the exam, he got No.4 in the exam.

Seeing his and Zhao Shihua's names, He Minglang happily patted Zhao Shihua's shoulder and made an appointment to drink and celebrate together.

Zhao Shihua hurriedly said: "Brother He, don't be in a hurry, wait for me to find the names of my sister-in-law and Young Master Qian."

"Oh, I remembered, it was the two who came with you that time. It seems that Mr. Qian is also from Huzhou, right? Zhuo Jing is also from Huzhou."

Zhao Shihua nodded in yes, and quickly looked down, and soon found Qian Rui's name in the eighteenth position, but his brother-in-law Wei Qingyuan was indeed not listed, he looked carefully twice, still not there.

Zhao Shihua sighed secretly, his brother-in-law is not without talent, if he is willing to practice punctuation and horizontal writing, he might be on the list.With his talent and learning, if he is willing to follow Mr. Qian as a teacher for two years, he will definitely pass the next subject.I'm afraid he doesn't want to leave his mother, wife, daughter and adults to take up the post.

When the list comes out, some are happy and some are sad.After failing the exam, he left sadly, and then returned to his hometown one after another.

The successful applicants congratulated each other, some rushed back to report the letter, and some rushed to the Lin Xue government to thank their benefactor.He Minglang asked the servants who accompanied him to go back to the house to report the news, and then went to the Lin Xue government to thank his teacher with the acquaintances around him.The next day, they will also attend the Luming Banquet hosted by Lin Xuezheng and Li Zhifu.

Lin Xuezheng had been prepared for a long time and sent people to bring them in. Starting from No.1 He Minglang, he said a few words to everyone and gave them some encouragement.Of course, some say more and some say less.

For Xie Yuanhe Minglang, Lin Xuezheng naturally praised him well, asserting that he will surely pass the examination next year.Then, according to the ranking on the list, I also encouraged the second No.3.When he arrived at Zhao Shihua's place, he seemed very happy, and asked: "My official read your article on disaster relief and governance after the flood. It was quite good. I have already reported it to the emperor. It's just that you still have some shortcomings in the history of classics. That's why I set the fourth for you. Otherwise, just read the strategy, even Mingming's Jieyuan will also be given to you."
