The fat man was confused and confused, and chased Zhu Ping'an upstairs.
After arriving upstairs, there was no one around. Under the fat man's constant questioning, Zhu Ping'an said calmly, "Bring more gold and silver to his home to ensure that you pass the exam without any problems."
There were too many people downstairs just now, so it was difficult to speak out. Now that it was just me and the fat man upstairs, our voices were low, and we were not afraid of any ears through the wall, so Zhu Pingan spoke lightly.
"ha?"
After hearing the answer revealed by Zhu Pingan, the fat man was so surprised that he could swallow a fist. What's going on? Just now you didn't know that our academic advisor has been replaced by Mr. Zhao. Now you have heard Mr. Zhao's name.
, you came up with the idea that I should send gold and silver to bribe the exam. Are you talking nonsense and boasting?
"I went out to read this morning and met Mr. Zhao's groom. He was so domineering that he almost hit me." Zhu Pingan sat on the table, poured a cup of tea, took a sip and said slowly.
"What does that have to do with your suggestion?!" the fat man complained.
"Because it was about to hit me, I could see clearly that Mr. Zhao's carriage was not ordinary. It was made of elm trees and blended with spices. Moreover, the curtains of the carriage were made of silk, with gold lines and pendants on it.
It’s worth a lot of money,” Zhu Pingan said lightly with the corners of his lips curled up.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether Mr. Zhao’s carriage that he met in the morning was Mr. Zhao Wenhua or Mr. Zhao. This was just an excuse for him to convince the fat man. Anyway, Zhao Wenhua in history was famous for his greed for money, and this Zhao Wenhua was greedy for money.
Master to the extreme, this is a ruthless person who even makes money from the emperor. It would be strange if he is not greedy in the scientific examination. The quota for the back door of the scientific examination is not as good as that of the fat man.
Hearing this, the fat man's eyes lit up, "You mean?"
"What did I say? I didn't say anything." Zhu Pingan shrugged and said seriously.
"Hahaha, I understand, I understand. Thank you very much, Brother Zhu." The fat man put his two fat paws together and kept expressing his gratitude to Zhu Pingan.
"It's possible for the scientific examination, but not for the provincial examination. You'd better read more books during the period before the provincial examination." After Zhu Pingan took a sip of tea, he said sternly to the fat man Xue Chi.
The scientific examination is an examination presided over by the academic officer to determine the suitable candidates for the provincial examination. The right to select students to participate in the imperial examination is entirely in the hands of the academic officer. This is not the case with the provincial examination, which is selected by the imperial court.
, cabinet bachelors went to various provinces to serve as chief and deputy examiners, presiding over. There was almost no room for sand.
"Brother Zhu, don't worry, brother Fool will definitely have a thorn in his butt," the fat man assured with a lot of nonsense.
"You can take care of yourself, I still want to read." Zhu Pingan put the tea cup on the side of the table and said calmly.
"Okay, Brother Yu, I will go back and get ready." The fat man said goodbye wisely, and couldn't wait to go back to prepare the gifts. There is not much time left before the scientific examination, and there are not many places for the scientific examination. In order to be fair,
There are very few places left for the back door, so gifts must be given as soon as possible to avoid being preempted by others.
In the afternoon, Zhu Ping'an sat at his desk in his room, practicing eight-part essays and strategies, writing an essay by himself, reading similar papers he had read in the past and dictating them, comparing them and looking for deficiencies, and then making corrections and improvements. Best
, and then burn these No. 1 Scholar scrolls. These No. 1 Scholar scrolls that have never appeared before should not have appeared in this dynasty. Zhu Pingan did not want to leave any clues to others. Only by being cautious can the fittest survive in this dynasty.
Early the next morning, when I walked outside, I could still see the moon in the sky. The moon hanging in the sky was so weak, so pale, and so weak. It looked like the face of a person who had just recovered from a serious illness, glowing with a light white light, very graceful.
, like the Song lyrics written by Li Qingzhao.
Under the cool moonlight, Zhu Ping'an held a black wooden board under his arm and slung his schoolbag across his body. He walked slowly from the inn to the woods where Japanese people used to practice calligraphy.
While Zhu Ping'an was filling the bamboo tubes by the Qinhuai River, a room on the other side of the Qinhuai River was gently pushed open. A girl of seventeen or eighteen looked out through the gap and could vaguely see the bank of the Qinhuai River.
There is a vague figure of a student.
After seeing this, the girl gently closed the window and tiptoed to the dressing table to quickly touch up her makeup. She also drew on her eyebrows and eyeliner. Her eyelashes were also carefully lengthened with small clips. She also used rouge and gouache.
I was reluctant to part with a box of more than ten taels of silver. Finally, I took out a piece of red paper, put it between my lips and held it gently, dyeing the corners of my lips red.
In the mirror, a young girl smiled shyly.
After packing up, the girl quietly walked out wearing gauze clothes. When she opened the door, she made a slight sound, which alerted another girl lying on the bed.
"Sister, what are you going to do?"
The sleepy girl with a ponytail on the bed rubbed her eyes and looked at the half-awake girl who opened the door and asked.
"Sister, please say hello to me. Sister, please go on to sleep. We can take a nap today." The girl at the door coaxed softly.
"Oh." The girl with her ponytail lay down again and went to sleep. Her sister chatted with her for a long time last night and she slept very late. She is still very sleepy now.
Seeing that the girl on the bed fell asleep again, the girl at the door breathed a sigh of relief, then gently closed the door again, walked downstairs quietly, and walked towards the other side of the Qinhuai River.
Zhu Ping'an was in the woods, concentrating on practicing calligraphy, and did not notice at all that a girl covered in gauze was walking towards him.
"Master Zhou?"
When Zhu Pingan was practicing calligraphy, he suddenly heard a slightly inquiring female voice. Zhu Pingan was startled. When he raised his head, he was even more startled. A female ghost in white?
"He is really my benefactor, Hu'er thought he had seen it wrong." The female ghost in Zhu Ping'an's eyes covered her lips with a slender hand and let out a sweet smile, her big watery eyes full of surprise.
"Who are you?" Zhu Pingan narrowed his eyes.
"Young Master Zhou is such a noble man and forgets things. That day you even wrote about White Fox for our sisters. You are really talented. Thanks to your benefactor, our sisters were able to win the third prize in the selection of oiran. Our sisters' life is much better than before.
Here." The girl of seventeen or eighteen said as she walked towards Zhu Pingan.
It turned out to be them, and then Zhu Pingan remembered what happened.
"Ah, the young master is already sweating." The girl walked to Zhu Pingan and suddenly let out a sweet cry, then took out a scented handkerchief from her arms and wiped it on Zhu Pingan's face.
sweat?
Are you kidding me? It's still a bit chilly early in the morning. Why are you sweating?
Furthermore, the scent of this handkerchief was too pungent. Zhu Pingan subconsciously turned his head to avoid the handkerchief in the girl's delicate hand.
The girl's face was rosy. She took back her slender hands, blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Zhu Ping'an, and said coquettishly, "What are you hiding from my benefactor? I'm not a tiger. I can still eat my benefactor."
No
Zhu Ping'an looked at the girl's shy appearance and was speechless for a moment. Let's make some yarn, my friend is still young! (To be continued.)
