Chapter 25 The road ahead is bumpy (3000
"I'm here to meet my uncle and aunt. I wish my uncle good health! My family fortune will last for a long time!" When he arrived at the mansion, Qian Hua directly introduced Li You into the yard. The contemporary Changhua Bo Qian Sa and his wife were waiting in the main hall. Li You hurriedly stepped forward to pay a visit.
"It looks! It looks like it!" Qian Sa couldn't help but stay for a moment when he saw Li You raising his head, and murmured, "I remember when I first met your father, he was as handsome as you, and he was as handsome as you!" As he said that, the corners of his eyes became a little wet!
This made even Li You, a fake guy who didn't have much affection for the old master, was a little sad, and shed a few tears with the old master! Finally, Qian Hua came forward and said, "Father, the deceased has passed away, and now Brother Wenyang has become an adult; Uncle Li should feel comforted even if he has a spirit in the sky!"
Mrs. Qian, who was standing aside, also persuaded, "It's a great joy to see You'er today, why bother you to make people unhappy! You'er worked hard all the way, Huaer, you can take You'er to take a shower and change clothes first! Then let's talk well!"
"Thank you for your care! My uncle's old friendship really makes me grateful!" No matter what, this sincere friendship still made Li You admire very much. He also said a few words with the two old men before leaving with Qian Hua.
After taking a comfortable shower, changing his clothes, Li You came to the main hall again; Qian Sa was talking to Xu Guang about the situation along the way, and the gift list prepared by Xu Guang was now placed at Qian Sa's hand. After all, it was a family friend and there were not so many empty gifts. Qian Sa said directly when he came out, "If someone else gave him a gift, I wouldn't see him! But I am happy to receive your gift! I have also prepared some things for you to use in Beijing. Before leaving, I will ask Hua'er to deliver it to your boat!"
"Thank you for your kindness, my nephew is so disrespectful!" The other party simply Li You didn't feel embarrassed and agreed simply.
"Well, this is what Brother Li looked like back then!" Qian Sa was also very satisfied with his performance! He reached out to greet the housekeeper and asked him to prepare a banquet. "You'er and you have a good drink with your uncle. Mr. Xu also invites you to the table. Our old friends are gathered together, and there are not as many rules as outsiders!" He was very polite to Xu Guang in his words. Later, Li You realized that Xu Guang was very kind to Qian Sa when he was in the army.
After three rounds of drinking, they told each other about their recent situation at home. Qian Sa suddenly put down the wine glass and asked, "Are You'er sure you go to Beijing this time?"
"My nephew has never wasted his time over the years, and he is somewhat sure." The former owner of Li You's body worked very hard in studying. He also inherited the other party's memory. Besides, if he failed the exam, wouldn't there be any other way? "Mr. Xu also said before leaving that he would visit several elders after entering Beijing, and he thought that he would not waste his time without any effort!" Since the two families were so close, Li You told the truth and told him all his plans to use money to open the way.
Qian Sa has been in the officialdom for many years and has not much disgusted with such things. He hesitated for a moment and shook his head and said, "The elders should walk around more, but now it is not as good as before. If you want to succeed in inheriting the title, you can still stabilize yourself. You can't leave it behind, either poetry, books or archery and horses!"
Most of the nobles of the Great Wei Dynasty started their careers with military merits. In order to prevent the descendants of these noble families from becoming waste, Taizu opened two civil and military disciplines at the Imperial College, requiring these N-age officials to not only be familiar with poetry and books, but also have excellent martial arts. As for military tactics, it is a compulsory course. What they need is to prevent them from losing their ancestors' secret skills! If there is any problem in the court in the future, they will be useful.
However, like all policies, no matter how good the starting point is, they may still be strictly followed when they are first introduced, but they will gradually become dissatisfied over time.
When the Great Wei Dynasty was just established, most of the newly inherited nobles, Wen Neng, had become officials in the court and could lead troops to fight. Until now, most of them could only enjoy themselves while lying down. After all, they were smart and capable people like Qian Sa and Li You's father were only a minority!
Many people are old enough to go to the Imperial College for a few years, and then use the money to get the road smoothly! Those examiners won't make things difficult for these noble children with deep connections.
But after hearing Qian Sa say this, has there been any changes in the Imperial College now? It is related to the future of his own master. Xu Guang hurriedly asked, "Dare you dare to ask Mr. Qian, but there is any change in the court?"
"Yeah!" Qian Sa touched his beard and said, "I just got the news from the residence report today. Lord Lu Xiwen, the original priest of the Imperial College, has retired and returned to his hometown. The new priest is Wang Weizhen, the former priest of the Imperial College! Lord Lu was born in the Lv family in Lantian, and I am a noble family. I don't think he will blame you too much! But Lord Wang Weizhen is different. He was born in a poor family and was taken away by local nobles when he was young! Such bad sheep caused Lord Wang to have many misunderstandings about our noble children. If your homework is hindered, it would be difficult for you to pass this level!"
Unexpectedly, it was a disaster. When I recalled the news I heard at home a few days ago and what I saw along the way from Jiazhou to Qiantang, Li You knew that the party struggles in the Great Wei Dynasty are now harsh, and it is probably not that easy for him to graduate from the Imperial College to pass the exam and get a title!
But when he thought about so many classics, history, and his martial arts value at 23 o'clock in his mind, Li You still had some confidence in passing the exam! "Thank you, uncle, but I guess if my nephew's studies were past, then Master Jijiu might not be able to let my nephew pass the exam, right?"
"That's of course! Don't say that you can pass the exam. Even if you are not lucky, he will not let you inherit the title. Could it be that the nobles, we, the nobles, can't change the sacrificial ceremony? At that time, my uncle will definitely stand up for you!" Qian Sa's domineering spirit was revealed at this time. No one would be careless about such matters that are related to the vital interests of the nobles. Today he can block Li You's title, and tomorrow can't he get stuck? For such a major event involving the family inheritance, no nobles will stay out of the matter.
"But if you can pass the second civil and military discipline with your own strength, we can save some effort!" Qian Sa wanted to speak but stopped. I think that Wang Weizhen was not an easy person to deal with.
I think so. Since the poor group can push him to a vital position like the Imperial College Priest, the position is to make him block the noble family's path to inheritance and weaken the strength of the noble group. People who have few tricks in such a task are incapable of completing it! Thinking of this, Li You not only became worried about his life in the capital.
