After the exam, Wang Kui, He Qi and several wealthy businessmen from Bianjing and the singer were drinking wine.
Wang Kui studied at Daxiangguo Temple for several months. During this period, he could not help but feel lonely several times, and wanted to sneak away to the fireworks alley to have fun. After all, he had experienced it in the romantic field, but in the end he was able to endure it.
But now that he had made the test, he no longer had any scruples. He Qi knew his intentions and immediately arranged a fireworks place for the other party to have fun.
A wealthy businessman raised his glass to Wang Kui and said with a smile: "Master Wang, I would like to congratulate you in advance on your great success."
Then another wealthy businessman said with a smile: "Not only will you be successful immediately, you will need to take a third-level exam, so that you can match the talent of a high-ranking official."
Wang Kui smiled and said: "I don't dare to hope for the third class of manufacturing. Except for Duke Wu Zhengsu, no one in this dynasty has been admitted to the third class. Wang really doesn't dare to hope for it."
He Qi smiled and said, "You see, senior officials are so humble, don't they?"
A big businessman said with a smile: "With your rich husband's face, how dare any of the examiners not to sell your face."
Another person smiled and said: "Yes, if you are admitted to the high-ranking official system department this time, you don't have to leave the capital. You can be directly awarded the official position in the capital."
Wang Kui smiled reservedly and said nothing.
The two businessmen laughed when they saw this. Just as they were about to expose it, Wang Kui lowered his voice and said: "To be honest, Mr. Fu did promise before the exam that if you get into the fourth class of the system, you can stay in Beijing. If you get into the fifth class, you can stay in Beijing."
After being away for two years, I will return to Beijing on my behalf."
The two businessmen looked surprised and said, "So we will have to rely more on senior officials in the future."
He Qi said with a smile: "You see, we Wang Daguan are very cheerful people. We even told you about our private affairs with the rich husband."
The two businessmen said quickly: "I know, I know. We are both strict with our words and will never reveal it to outsiders."
Wang Kui smiled and said: "I still trust you two, but it's better to stay in Beijing if you can."
A businessman rubbed the singer next to him and said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Wang, you think Bianjing is better. The women in Bianjing have skin as smooth as silk. Where can you find it outside?"
After saying this, the singer next to her also smiled coquettishly.
Everyone laughed when they saw this.
After drinking for three rounds, Wang Kui said with some hesitation and contentment: "Okay, there is no need to gossip. Since we meet, we are destined to meet each other. Our table is always full of guests, and the wine is not empty."
Several people laughed and said, "Master Wang is really cheerful. Drink, drink."
Everyone immediately stopped drinking and the two businessmen left.
Before leaving, the merchant not only paid for the wine, but also gave each of them twenty taels of silver.
Wang Kui looked at the money and said to Wang Kui with some worry: "Being polite, people must ask for something. They won't ask me to ask my rich husband for anything."
He Qi laughed and said, "Brother Junmin, what can twenty taels of silver accomplish? Not only have you underestimated Mr. Fu, but you have also underestimated yourself."
Wang Kui said: "It's just that this free wealth is always a bit unreliable."
He Qi said with a smile: "Brother Junmin, don't worry, how can I harm you? Just now, the businessman surnamed Wang was engaged in cotton business, and now there is a businessman surnamed He blocking his door everywhere. He was thinking
Find a way in the government to kill the other party. As for the businessman named Fang, he is fine, but he also has a lot of business in Bianjing, but he also wants to make more friends with officials on weekdays. "
"Don't worry, they won't ask you for help before you get married to a rich family. This meal is just a way for them to recognize their family and show their good will to you. They will wait until you become the son-in-law of a rich family and then ask you for help.
Help. There is absolutely no reason in this world to ask for help when trouble comes. We all pave the way slowly first. Don't worry, these wealthy businessmen are all talented people. They are well-trained in asking for help and giving gifts, and they have their own sense of propriety.
.”
When Wang Kui heard this, he said with relief, "I'm relieved now. I'll get twenty taels of silver in this way, and it's so profitable. Brother He, I don't have any other intention. I'm just afraid of trouble in the future."
He Qi's expression changed slightly. He knew that Wang Kui's words were hurting him. He arranged to get twenty taels of silver, but Wang Kui actually thought he had taken too much?
He Qi said calmly: "Brother Junmin, I have never traveled abroad, so I don't know that these Bianjing businessmen are very generous. In Bianjing city, one hundred thousand yuan is not considered rich, but there are millions and millions of them."
"Money is everywhere, you just have to find a way to get it. But if Brother Junmin is worried about getting into trouble in the future, I will help you avoid it."
Wang Kui said hurriedly: "Brother He, you also know that I am not good at socializing with these businessmen. Now you and I are in the same boat. But you also know that I have too many things on my mind. The matters before the palace examination have not been settled yet, so it is inevitable
worry."
He Qisha smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, the plan for now is for a rich woman to get married. If you get married to a rich family, except for the serious crime of treason, all major things can be handled for you. What you said before is not spread in Bianjing."
There must be an uproar, why no one has troubled you so far, just for the sake of your rich husband."
Wang Kui sighed after hearing this.
He Qidao: "Brother Junmin, what are you doing?"
Wang Kui sighed: "You are right, but for some reason, the rich lady treats me much colder. I am afraid that there will be changes in the marriage."
He Qi consoled him: "As soon as the news about your entrance into the matriculation system comes out tomorrow, the wealthy family will look at you with admiration."
"What if not?" Wang Kui asked.
He Qidao: "No, brother Junmin, you have no choice but to leave the capital as soon as possible and take up the post, and avoid the limelight first. By the way, I heard that there was a king who favored you very much during the imperial examination?"
Wang Kui said: "You must be talking about Wang Jiefu. He is very fond of my articles. But after the imperial examination, I visited him twice, but he ignored me. I heard that this person is unkind. He was originally with Ouyang
Uncle Yong, Zeng Gong and others are good to each other, but because of their bad relationship with Han Xianggong, they have become estranged from them. Now they only associate with some people who have no aspirations, which seems to be okay."
He Qidao: "Brother Junmin, I think you must have a deep meaning in promoting Wang Waizhi. I have read his articles and he is very talented. I have often heard others talk about his talents. Now that he is an official of the two systems, he
I might even pay him a visit to the Prime Minister in Japan. Brother Junmin, don’t miss this opportunity.”
