One hundred and thirtieth chapters catch a son-in-law
Master Yan didn't sleep all night last night. He kept his eyes open and waited until dawn.
As soon as the door to the house was opened, he immediately walked out of the room.
As soon as he went out, the landlord who lived next door came over and asked him: "Mr. Master, it's time for you to pay next month's rent!"
When the master heard this, his cheeks twitched, and he touched the last few coins in his pocket.
Obviously, those few dollars, not to mention paying rent, even eating, will have problems!
But looking at the landlord's worried and distrustful face, he nodded hesitantly: "Wait a moment, I will borrow some money from a friend and I will definitely pay the rent today!"
Who can I borrow money from?
Zhou Yi?
Master Yan shook his head in his heart. He was unwilling to speak to Zhou Yi unless he had to. Master Yan had a strong self-esteem and was particularly unwilling to expose his shortcomings to his friends.
"I heard that Zhang, a big businessman from Linzi, has property in Chang'an. If you don't pay me a visit before posting, I think you can get some gifts!" Businessmen in this era liked to make friends with literati, and would often sponsor some obscure people.
In the past, Zhu Fuyan traveled all the way from Qi to Zhongshan, Yan and Zhao, relying on the financial support of Qi merchants who were merchants all over the world.
I already have some ideas on how to get some living expenses.
So, after asking around, he found a shop in the east city of Chang'an City. After entering, he submitted a greeting card and waited quietly for the owner to come out to greet him.
Unexpectedly, half an hour after the invitation was put in, there was still no one coming out to greet him. The owner's father Yan stood at the door and watched the clerks coming and going in the store, and his stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
So, he shamelessly walked in and asked a waiter: "May I ask, has your lord asked me to go and see him?"
The waiter squinted his eyes and glanced at the master's father with disdain. He curled his lips and said, "My master can't see you!"
The master's father Yan's heart was bleeding when he looked at him.
As a scholar, he thought he was superior to others, but unexpectedly, he was despised by a humble shop assistant!
The master's father clenched his fists tightly, thinking that this was just the waiter deliberately making things difficult for him, so he said: "I am a scholar in this examination. Does your master know?"
The guy raised his eyebrows and sneered: "I know... I'm from a political family..."
These days, this guy is used to seeing scholars come to visit under various pretexts. Previously, when these scholars came, he and the owner of his family took good care of them, treated them to a sumptuous meal, and packed some
Money. But as more and more people came, the attitude of his master changed. Except for the famous and talented people, no one else was seen!
What does it mean to be a talented person with a good reputation?
Of course he is a Confucian disciple of the first school in Qilu!
…………………………………………
The master's father walked out of Dongshi in a daze, with the boy's words echoing in his ears: "I am from a political family..."
This sentence deeply hurt his feelings and made him feel like someone was pointing his nose at him and scolding him.
Walking on the street, he even felt like he was about to be abandoned by the whole world.
There was only a few dollars left in my pocket. At most, it was enough for a meal of corn rice with pickles. Maybe I could add some seasonings, but that was it.
But if he was asked to ask Zhou Yi and other friends for help, he didn't know what to do.
"When will the results be released?" Master Yan sighed.
Thinking like this, suddenly the crowd in front began to commotion. Faintly, the host father heard someone shouting: "The results are released! The results are released!"
Zhu Fuyan suddenly felt his eyes light up. He immediately followed the surging crowd and ran towards the nearest piece of cloth.
As he got closer, he heard several big men shouting out names one after another.
“The leader——Jinan has a different look!”
"The second best - Chen County Zheng Shi!"
“Secondly—Nanyang Ningcheng!”
Every time a name was announced, the crowd let out a roar of applause and cheers, and then many people ran non-stop in all directions, apparently preparing to announce the good news and make money!
Master Yan reluctantly squeezed into the crowd. He stood on his toes and looked forward. He saw two pieces of cloth hanging under the exposed cloth. One was golden and the other was silver.
At this time, he heard a voice: "The seventh place - Linzi Lord Fu Yan!"
“Seventh place—Linzi Master Fu Yan!”
“Seventh place—Linzi Master Fu Yan!”
This sound was like a meteorite smashing into his mind. It kept echoing and roaring, making his whole body's emotions suddenly burst out. He covered his face, sat down on the ground, and cried loudly.
Got up.
When I was in Linzi, I was ridiculed by the Confucian scholars. They all said: "You are just talking fast, you are a villain!"
The children in Linzi chased after him, dancing and singing songs: "Master Fu Yan, seventeen years old, learning vertical and horizontal, length cannot be combined, size cannot be controlled..."
When he arrived at the land of Yan, King Yan just took one look at his resume and kicked him out of the palace.
"Sir, why are you crying?" Someone found him and asked.
"I am Master Fu Yan..." Master Fu Yan stood up, wiped his tears, and solemnly introduced himself: "I teach to Uncle Fan's fifth generation grandson Fan Jia!" He used to be ashamed of this identity and did not dare to tell him directly.
Others, but now that he has succeeded, he can proudly and fearlessly tell everyone that he is the descendant of the Zongheng School, and he is proud of his own school!
"Master Fu Yan?" The man's eyes lit up and he asked in confusion: "But Master Fu Yan in Linzi?"
The master's father nodded blankly.
The man laughed loudly, waved his hand and said, "Boys, catch him!"
Seven or eight strong men suddenly appeared from the crowd and grabbed the master's father.
"What are you doing? Help!" How could Zhufu Yan deal with the seven or eight big men? He was immediately pushed to the ground and then lifted up with his limbs.
But the man laughed: "My dear son-in-law, don't panic. I am from the Anling family in Chang'an. I have a daughter who is twenty-eight years old. She is a good match for my dear son-in-law!"
After hearing this, the master's father calmed down.
Of course he had heard about the Anling family. This was a wealthy family in Guanzhong with a prominent family reputation.
The man laughed heartily: "Originally I just wanted to catch someone on the list, even the silver list would be fine, but unexpectedly, I caught the seventh person on the gold list. Haha, I am really far-sighted!"
The so-called gold list and silver list naturally refer to the list of candidates' names recorded on two cloths of different colors.
The people of Chang'an have infinite wisdom, and they immediately named two lists when the list appeared.
Gold ranking is the most valuable, silver ranking is second.
The man then ordered the servants: "Go quickly, otherwise if the Chehous react later, we won't be able to leave!"
Who doesn't know that the nobles and nobles of Chehou in Chang'an are sharpening their swords now?
For aristocratic powerful people, if their nephew fails to pass the exam, it is easy to find someone who can pass the exam to be his son-in-law. Anyway, who doesn't have ten or eight daughters?
For a time, under more than a dozen pieces of exposed cloth in Chang'an City, all kinds of chickens and dogs were jumping around. The landlords and powerful men who were hiding in the crowd with their men and horses were waiting for the candidates to appear in the high school entrance examination. When they found one, they immediately arrested each one. There were even greedy ones who immediately arrested each other.
I caught four or five and took them home... Anyway, there were many daughters, so it was just a dowry...
