At the Luming Banquet, Wang Kui drank several glasses of wine.
As the prince of the country, he naturally attracts the attention of everyone, and this scenery is unforgettable for Wang Kui.
He walked out of the Imperial Academy, looked back and thought, I learned poetry at the age of five, and my poems shocked everyone. Unfortunately, my family background is not obvious, and few people appreciate it. Now that the Imperial Academy is in the first place, so what if Zhang Du's gift is from the same three generations?
You are not allowed to toast in front of me or submit to me.
Now that I have become famous, I can comfort my parents and parents, and I can be prominent in the countryside.
Wang Kui walked out of Taixue and said goodbye to his classmates when he saw a woman curled up in the corner.
After Wang Kui looked at the woman, he looked around and saw no one. Then he went to the woman and asked, "Guiying, why are you here?"
This woman slowly stood up, her eyes full of grievances, it was Guiying.
Wang Kui took the other person's hand and walked to a deserted place in the corner of the alley.
Gui Ying said: "Kuilang, you haven't gone home for several days. I really can't wait to come here and want to see you today."
Wang Kui shook his head and said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you that I have been busy with social activities these days, so how can I have any free time? Besides, I have been living in poverty for ten years, and I am finally proud of myself. No matter what, I want people to see my glory today.
"
Wang Kui said to Guiying: "Don't worry, I will always treat you as before, and I will never boss you around. But you also know that I came from a humble background. I saw too much evil and suffered too much when I was young. It was not easy for me to survive."
It’s what it is today.”
Speaking of this, Wang Kui looked arrogant.
Guiying looked at Wang Kui and felt deeply that Wang Kui had won the throne. Although Wang Kui's temperament could not be said to have changed drastically, his words were much less submissive and more submissive than before... In the past, he had endured it for too long.
Guiying lowered her head and said, "Kui Lang, I know you have suffered a lot these years, but why didn't you tell your parents about us?"
Wang Kui was stunned and said: "You read my letter from home? Hey, why are you like this... I planned to talk about it after passing the provincial examination, but now you ask me to speak. Your background is not good, and the strict ruler in your family treats me badly.
You also know what you expect. If I tell them and they ask me about your origin, how will I answer it? I'm afraid it will break their hearts, so I plan to pass the provincial examination and win the exam with flying colors.
After I become a Jinshi, I will tell them clearly and then I will plead with them, but you still doubt me like this."
Guiying said guiltily: "Qui Lang, I can't make random suspicions. In the past, you often told me that you would marry anyone but me and that you couldn't live without me. But these days, you haven't heard a word of it. Now I want to hear you say it again."
.”
Wang Kui frowned and said, "I told you not to worry too much. Just have a good rest."
"The jade and the clouds are lost to my generation, and all the flowers and willows are men. If I succeed in coming spring, I can raise a pond of mandarin ducks. This is the poem you wrote to me at the beginning, and now I want to hear you say it again, and then I will
Willingly."
Wang Kui was silent for a while after hearing this: "You go back first."
After that, Wang Kui took a car and went to Fu Bi's house.
That's right, before the release of the examination results, Fu Bi made the decision and betrothed his grandniece, Miss Fu, to Wang Kui.
However, the rich lady has one condition: she must let Wang Kui, a Jinshi, and his wife agree to get married.
Wang Kui was of course very happy. He went to the rich family eight times if not ten times, and finally moved everyone in the rich family with his sincerity.
After this deer-crowing banquet, he also invited He Qi, which was also his intention to repay the other party.
He Qi and Wang Kui admire each other.
In his eyes, Wang Kui is a person who knows the warmth and warmth of others, can read people's faces, and knows how to hide his pride.
He was very polite to the servants of the rich family, and he had to spread some money from time to time, so the servants had a good impression of him after he came several times.
Of course it’s not bad for myself either.
Afterwards, the two of them came in. Wang Kui saw Fu Shaoting with a smile on his face and said, "I just went to the Luming Banquet today and came here to see my brother."
Fu Shaoting just nodded slightly to Wang Kui and said: "After the deer roaring banquet, why don't you take a good rest after the hard work of boating and traveling?"
Wang Kui said: "Wang depends entirely on the support of Mr. Fu today. I dare not forget this kindness."
Fu Shaoting said: "I don't dare to take it. It's all your own, Jun Min. How can we help you?"
Fu Shaoting thought to himself that he had contributed nothing, but Wang Kui kept blaming the blame for his success on the wealthy family. There was nothing he could do about it.
As the eldest son of Fu Bi, Fu Shaoting was well-informed. Wang Kui could tell at a glance that he was a man who climbed high.
Fu Shaoting didn't mind people climbing the branches, and there were many people who came to climb the branches of the rich family. Wang Kui was the most talented among them, and he could talk and was pretty good-looking.
Although he had the intention of clinging to her, it happened that the rich lady was of the right age to be unmarried, and Wang Kui was so interested that he revealed his intention to marry him several times. Finally Fu Bi agreed.
Fu Shaoting said: "The provincial examination will begin soon. Junmin will sit down and talk about it later."
Fu Shaoting asked Wang Kui to sit down. Seeing this, He Qi knew that they had something to say, so he immediately found an excuse to go out.
Fu Shaoting lamented that He Qi and Wang Kui were very shrewd, and it was hard not to have a favorable impression of smart people.
Fu Shaoting said to Wang Kui: "Junmin, let me ask you again, do you really have no wife in the countryside?"
Wang Kui was stunned and said: "Brother, I don't know where to start talking about this. I don't know where the unreal rumors come from. This really has never happened. Hey, I am now Guo Ziyuan. There are many jealous people who are jealous. It is inevitable that some people will fabricate rumors.
As for me, I usually don’t care about them, but I don’t know...it’s really intolerable.”
Fu Shaoting smiled and said: "We will be able to tell whether it is a catch-up or not. But regardless of whether it is true or not, some words still need to be said in advance."
Wang Kui said quickly: "Please give me some instructions, Mr. Dalang."
Fu Shaoting said: "I don't dare to take it seriously. My wealthy family values family tradition when getting married. Men go out and about in the alleys of fireworks and willows, and it is inevitable for them to act on the occasion, but it is good to stop it in moderation."
"But this is not the case in the past. Some scholars got married in Bianjing after high school and became Jinshi, but they didn't know that they still had wives in their hometown. As a result, people came to visit them. The whole family was disgraced, and word spread that they became the target of others.
The butt of laughter.”
“What is our rich family’s background? I don’t need to say more, Junmin also understands. Even if it is a trivial comment, my father will be treated ten times more strictly than ordinary people.”
"Of course, I'm not saying that you must be like this, Brother Wang, but as an elder brother, you have something to say. You know that my father has the most important reputation. You must not disappoint him."
Wang Kui said: "Yes, I remember it."
Fu Shaoting said: "There is another thing. It is not allowed to keep an outside wife privately."
Wang Kui felt a chill in his heart after hearing this, and said, "Aren't you even allowed to have an outside room? So..."
Fu Shaoting said: "I don't mean that Brother Wang is not allowed to take concubines, but Brother Wang, if you want to take concubines, you must be from an innocent family. Our rich family also keeps away from the children of merchants, for fear of being contaminated by the smell of copper. Why should people come in like this?"
We are talking about working together with the same husband in the future. Therefore, Junmin must have the permission of his mistress to take concubines in the future."
You are so strict about not getting married yet?
Wang Kui looked a little pale, and besides, he was not yet sure about convincing Guiying to become his wife, but now the rich family had given up even his last thought.
The day after the Deer Ming Banquet, what Zhang Yue was worried about finally happened.
It was Rizhang Yue who was studying in his studio when he heard noise coming from outside the door.
It turns out that Li Zhijiao and two doctors in the Imperial College were taken away by people from Kaifeng Prefecture early in the morning.
Not knowing the details, the imperial students saw that the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture wanted to arrest their teacher, so they refused. Several people stopped the officials. After such a delay, the imperial students from each dormitory also came one after another.
After learning about it, Zhang Yue knew that the Kaifeng Mansion would not come to Taixue to arrest people for no reason, and it must be related to the imperial examination scandal.
Students do not know how to block officials from handling cases indiscriminately, which will have bad results.
But if you don’t go, you will be said to be a lackluster person.
Respecting teachers and teaching is the creed of scholars. Regardless of whether it is justified or not, this occasion cannot be missed.
Zhang Yue replied to others, showing that he was extremely concerned. In fact, he washed himself in the studio, put on clothes, and finally went out feeling well.
But when Zhang Yue arrived, the imperial students had already confronted the officials, and several officials were beaten. It seemed that the government was still on the weak side.
Zhang Yue knew that there were many students with backgrounds in the Imperial College, and official officials would not be stupid enough to offend others.
Zhang Yue was in a very relaxed mood, as if watching the excitement. After all, Li Zhijiao was a teacher of various subjects and had never taught him.
There were also many people present who wanted to watch the fun.
At this time, a group of officers and soldiers came from outside the Taixue Gate, and Lu Zhijiao arrived here. With his prestige, he persuaded the students to disperse, and asked the people from Kaifeng Mansion to send Li Zhijiao and others
Taken away.
Zhang Yue went back to his studio to rest, thinking that this was the end of the matter, but unexpectedly Lu Zhijiao called Zhang Yue to the lecture room.
Lu Zhijiao said to Zhang Yue: "This time, if the Imperial College students obstructed the officials from handling the case, it would be better if we report it to Cai Fuyin and let the officials know about it. Our Imperial College will not be able to settle the matter."
“You are considered one of the chiefs who can speak well, so please follow me to Kaifeng Mansion and explain this matter to Cai Mansion Yin.”
Lu Zhi said that he always thought highly of Zhang Yue. He wanted to ask Zhang Yue for help, but Zhang Yue should not have shied away from it.
But Zhang Yue thought of his family's relationship with Cai Xiang, so he said: "It is your destiny to speak directly. Students should not refuse, but there is something that students must first report to speak directly."
“What’s the matter?”
Zhang Yue said: "Now that Cai Fuyin is the magistrate of Jinjiang, the government and the public are outraged, and the magistrate of Jinjiang happens to be a relative of me."
Lu Zhidao suddenly said: "That's right, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it, that's all, you better not go, I'll invite someone else."
Zhang Yue was of course extremely happy when he heard this. Just as he was about to walk out the door, he stopped Lu Zhi and said, "Yes, it was Examiner Li who insisted on getting your paper."
Zhang Yuedao: "It seems so."
Lu Zhi said: "You are in trouble. This time Examiner Li was accused of having something to do with a malpractice case. It just so happened that one of the candidates whose names were taken from him by the Kaifeng Prefecture misused the pronunciation and rhyme."
Zhang Yue thought to himself, this is a big deal.
Misuse of pronunciation is one of the fifteen inequalities in the examination room. The seriousness is higher than that of dotting. Once any candidate makes such a mistake, he will be dismissed directly.
But Li Dalin took such an exam?
Li Dalin is a well-known Confucian who is well-read in poetry and books. How could he be careless enough to make such a low-level mistake?
This is clearly...
Lu Zhi said with a sigh: "Now the Kaifeng Prefecture has to screen the candidates selected by Examiner Li. You need to be prepared in your heart."
