Wei Hongchen didn't hold on, and politely thanked him. It involved a large sum of 700,000 taels, and it was a place where a whole family lived, so he really needed to think more carefully.
Since Liu Haotian gave him time, of course he would not refuse.
Without saying anything else, Wei Hongchen left. Ye Qian returned to the prepared house and saw an eleven or twelve-year-old boy waiting at the door with a red lantern. His appearance was very similar to Wei Hongchen's.
"Father is back. Mom asked me to wait for you to come back. It's up to you to decide where the guards and slaves will rest!"
When the boy with the lantern saw Wei Hongchen coming over, his face showed the joy he had been waiting for, and he spoke very quickly.
"This is Mr. Wei, the dog son..."
Wei Hongchen nodded expressionlessly, introduced the young man to Ye Qian beside him, turned to his dog and introduced:
"This is the disciple of the local village chief, Zhao Kai..."
"The dog is naughty. I'm here for the first time. I'm not familiar with the place. If there are any activities for the young people in the village in the future, please bring the dog with you and take care of it!" Wei Hongchen took out a red envelope from his sleeve and stuffed it into Ye Qian's hand.
With his hand, he patted Ye Qian's shoulder and continued: "It's getting late, brother, please rest early!"
"Thank you, Master Wei. Farewell!" Ye Qian took the red packet and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket with a smile. Mr. Wei, who was missing the lantern, handed it over and left.
This Wei Hongchen is interesting!
Ye Qian felt a little more vigilant. As a noble, he actually gave him a red envelope in person. Ye Qian didn't know how much money was in it, but this behavior was already amazing.
If he were a young man, he might have let down his guard and have an infinite fondness for this foreign family.
After a good night's sleep, the next day Mr. Wei of the Wei family, the young man who carried the lantern last night, found the Zhao family, carrying a jar of wine and a cake as a door-to-door gift.
In fact, Wei Junzi had nothing to do. He just came here for the first time and was rushed directly to Ye Qian by his father Wei Hongchen, who wanted to get familiar with the life circle in Donghe Village as soon as possible.
Ye Qian had no reason to refuse, so he simply took Wei Junzi around the village and then let him go on his own. He wanted to go to Tu Huo Tianzhang to practice Fulong Jue.
Until the evening, when the practice was over, Ye Qian was on his way home and saw Junzi Wei waiting outside the door with two jars of wine.
Ye Qian looked at Mr. Wei speechlessly, feeling that this guy was screwed up. The two of them had no friendship at all. He received him politely, and that was all. Even if he quickly blended into the local area, he should go to Liu Mingshan.
, after all, he is the son of the village chief Liu Haotian, why do you want to join him?
"Brother Zhao, do you want to drink? This is more than a hundred years old wine. My father brought it from my hometown!"
When young Wei Junzi saw Ye Qian's appearance, he immediately showed a big smile, ran to the wine jar and came to Ye Qian's side and said.
"Are you twelve years old?"
Ye Qian glanced at the wine jar in Wei Junzi's hand and couldn't help swallowing.
Ye Qian himself found it incredible when he said it. He had been here for so long and he had never had a drink.
If he were in the Immortal and Demon Continent or the Lihuo Realm, the wine of mortals for more than a hundred years would not be in his eyes at all.
It's a pity that this is the Xian Qin Empire.
Regarding drinking, the Ming Law of the Xian Qin Empire stipulates:
If a child under twelve years of age drinks alcohol, his father will be punished with a rod of one hundred taels and a fine of one hundred taels for one tael of wine.
"Of course we have passed. How about we find a high place and watch the sunset while drinking?"
Wei Junzi opened his eyes wide and suggested with excitement.
"..." Ye Qian couldn't help but look at the wine jar in Wei Junzi's hand again. He really wanted to drink. No one had mentioned it before. As soon as he was seduced by Wei Junzi, the wine bug started to make trouble. He didn't
He nodded consciously and said, "Okay, wait a moment!"
How could there be wine without food to go with the wine? Ye Qian turned back and asked Lingding to pack some side dishes to go with the wine, and walked with Junzi Wei to a place he knew was good for viewing.
Donghe Village is located in a valley, and there is a path dug by the villagers to reach a nearby cliff.
On the path, Ye Qian held the wine jar Wei Junzi gave him in one hand and carried the food to go with the wine in one hand. Wei Junzi held his own wine jar in one hand and two pairs of bowls and chopsticks in the other, following behind.
After a while, the two came to the cliff on the top of the mountain.
At this time, the sky is filled with sunset, and the setting sun reflects infinite red light.
Leaning on the rocks and looking at the sky, Wei Junzi rubbed his legs and asked as if unintentionally: "I heard from my father that you are preparing to take the state examination, and the second test will be a competition for results!"
Ye Qian glanced at Mr. Wei, deftly removed the mud seal from the wine jar, poured the wine and took a delicious sip.
He didn't know whether it was because he hadn't drank it for many years or because the wine tasted really good. The moment the wine entered his throat, he could feel the lingering spiciness in it, which made Ye Qian feel happy both physically and mentally.
He leaned against the stone next to him, relaxed his posture and said, "Yes, this competition is also my second attempt to enter the state school!"
"If I were still in my hometown, I should apply for state education..." Wei Junzi sighed, got himself a glass of wine, stuck out his tongue and took a sip, squinted his eyes happily and said: "You should lick and drink wine.
ah……"
"..." Ye Qian has black lines all over his head, and his eyes are filled with "You're teasing me," who licks them when drinking.
"Brother Zhao, do you know what is being tested in the second state exam?" Wei Junzi looked very casual, but asked something that Ye Qian was very concerned about.
You must know that when Liu Mingshan participated in the second state examination, it was also a battle for results. He defeated his opponent in the ring, but failed to pass the assessment. The state examiner did not even bother to tell him why he failed.
"Do you know?" Ye Qian also asked casually. He had some guesses, but the body of the soul wearer had a very special identity. The person who raised him was a man from the world, and he had some knowledge of imperial studies and the like.
, but not much.
"Most of the civilians are taking the military or Confucian exam. Brother Zhao should be taking the military exam..." Wei Junzi put his mouth on the edge of the wine bowl and licked the wine while saying: "The key to the military assessment is this.
Three, the first is success or failure, the second is means, and the third is pattern. If you meet two of these points, you will be able to pass. If you have all three, you will be an elite disciple when you enter the school, and the scope of choosing laws will be wider than that of ordinary disciples."
Speaking of this, Wei Junzi seemed to suddenly remember, and said to Ye Qian embarrassedly: "In our three northeastern states, the state academic assessment is basically like this. Here, it is not very clear. I think the difference should be
Not big."
"Thank you!" Ye Qian smiled and raised his glass to Mr. Wei. He suddenly mentioned what Ye Qian was most concerned about for no reason. Ye Qian didn't think it was said casually. He accepted the favor.
Ye Qian thought of Liu Mingshan at this time. Liu Mingshan defeated his opponent in the ring. If there was no accident, it should be because he failed to impress the examiners of the state school in terms of layout and methods, so he lost the election.
"We just happened to meet him, and I happened to know Brother Zhao!" Wei Junzi smiled lightly, looking unconcerned.
"It is only a matter of time before all three northeastern states fall, and the court will not make any concessions in terms of territory. To put it bluntly, troubled times are coming, and there are many opportunities. It all depends on what everyone wants to do."
Wei Junzi looked at the sunset in the distance and said:
"Brother Zhao will have to work harder if he goes to the state to study as a military strategist. In these troubled times, it is a great opportunity to make achievements. Maybe he can also be granted the title of marquis and prime minister, and he will honor his ancestors!"
"You don't want to?" Ye Qian could see the distress in Wei Junzi's tone.
"My family comes from a family of historians and aristocrats. Even if we go to the battlefield, we will still hold clerical positions!"
Wei Junzi shook his head and said with a slight smile:
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. You military strategists have established great achievements in the world, killed on the battlefield, protected your family and the country, and become famous throughout the ages. What we historians seek is to study the relationship between heaven and man through the ages, understand the changes in ancient and modern times, and achieve the success of our family.
I can’t say which one will be more famous throughout the ages, but it’s still a good way.”
"Sounds pretty good!" Ye Qian threw a peanut into his mouth, looked at the sunset, carefully ground the remaining food in his mouth with his teeth, and swallowed it slowly, Ye Qian sighed without surprise.
: "The idea of building a successful family sounds really wonderful. It's okay if you can give it a try. However, what I seek is longevity, meritorious service, and so on. It's not suitable for me. I go to the state to study only for the laws and exercises.
.”
"..." Ye Qian Ye Qian glanced at Wei Junzi strangely.
Is it because of his family background? This young man is only twelve years old, but he has a lot on his mind.
In the Xian Qin Empire, due to martial arts training, the twelve-year-old is no longer considered a child and is not as good as a teenager. Theoretically, one can be the head of a family, marry a wife and have children. Premature puberty is normal, and giving birth to children in one or two years is normal.
Fathers are very common.
But there are really not many people who can think so far and so clearly.
"Only Martial Immortals can see for a long time and shatter the void, but our Xianqin Empire has not had a real Martial Immortal for a long time. But I heard that there are still Martial Immortals in small overseas countries and deep in the Purple Immortal Mountain!"
Wei Junzi Yaoyao's head was filled with a little regret in his tone.
"Didn't I say that there are many martial arts immortals in the imperial court?"
Ye Qian frowned and said that the news he heard was not counted. As far as he knew, Guitu Wan Shanming was a half-step martial arts immortal. However, he was a demon in the world and could not advance to the level of martial immortal without a royal seal.
"What kind of martial arts are those?" Wei Junzi smiled and shook his head.
Ye Qian frowned, this was beyond his expectation, and couldn't help but ask: "Why, since there are other places, why is the most powerful Xian Qin Empire gone? Is there a big difference between Wuxian?
"
"Not only is there a difference, the difference is huge!" A trace of ridicule flashed across the corner of Wei Junzi's mouth, "The martial immortals of the imperial court are called gods. The immortals consecrated by the imperial court have the same fighting power as the martial immortals, and they can also live forever. It's just that
The void cannot be broken!
The void cannot be shattered, and with just one imperial edict, the emperor of the current dynasty can deprive the immortals of their rank and knock them into dust. However, martial immortals attribute their power to individuals, and there are no hidden dangers in this regard. This is the biggest difference between martial immortals and immortals.
