Baohua Tower in Wufeng County is a place frequented by low-level officials. It is not as high-end entertainment venues as other high-end entertainment venues, but it is still much better than various large restaurants facing the street.
There is less noise, no fireworks, and there is still style.
Therefore, many retired officials who have no time at home, as well as those who have no official career in the local area, are often willing to drink tea and relax here.
"It's a disaster. The boy surnamed Wei actually did a great thing and made outstanding achievements many times. Wutan County even retained him as an inspector. The former army governor's office also spread the word that he was in the Longxiang Army.
Got a right hundred households..."
"What are you afraid of! He is noble and great, and he will not accept resignation! I have heard about it a long time ago!"
"He is planning to pass the provincial examination..."
"If a person who is good at arithmetic succeeds in passing the exam, what will happen?"
"Arrogant! As long as it's a case, you can report it, and you don't have to worry about being dismissed. At this time, don't worry about Jinshi and Mingshu. He is a Mingshu, even if he just goes to Simen Elementary School to be a teaching assistant in the future.
I also have this power!”
"..."
Finally, one person shouted angrily, causing all the accompanying gentlemen to shut up.
Contempt for the enemy will not change the status quo.
"What if he fails to win?"
"Can you stop him from taking the exam? He is the enemy of a hundred people. Even the most reckless people are not his combined strength. How can you stop him?"
"I wonder who came up with the question this year?"
"Don't even think about it. This year's math test will be written by Mr. Ge Xianggong, so you can't touch it."
"This won't work, and that won't work either, so what should I do? Wait for that wolf-like little beast to be convicted, and watch him go to the prosecutor to report him? With his current reputation, the prosecutor will definitely be strict..."
"There is always a way."
In the room, the leader, Juren, had a serious look in his eyes. After his official career failed, it was just a matter of course to pursue a family business in Wufeng County.
This is the customary tradition of the elders of the past dynasties, but it happened that Wei Hao, a bastard like Wei Hao, dared to resist!
How abominable!
"any idea?"
"After all, we still lift people, shouldering the fate of the country and its literary charm. Although our reputation is now worse, we still lift people..."
Hearing this, several officials shrank their eyes and said in trembling tones: "Brother Deng...could it be that he wanted to use his fame..."
"Be careful, the walls have ears!"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
Juren wiped the sweat from his forehead with fear. In addition to social privileges, Juren's fame is more fragrant food in the eyes of demons than scholar's fame.
Just as Wei Hao couldn't bear to part with Ba Erlang's two giant crab claws, no little monster would let the flesh and blood of a human being come to his lips.
The few civil servants here have exhausted their privileges in the humane society based on their reputation as civil servants. It is no longer possible for them to seek more substantial power.
Although Wei Hao was not allowed to resign, he had served as an official after all. The inspector was an official, and the hundreds of households officials were also officials.
That is completely different. It cannot be challenged by just a few candidates, because "official" represents power; officialdom is a collection of power.
How can we challenge the entire system when no one is admitted?
Therefore, the only way is to introduce external forces to break the situation.
There is no way.
"I have a friend who said that recently there was a 'White Immortal' in Dry Bone Mountain by the river, which was very efficacious..."
Deng Juren didn't finish his words, he just picked up the tea cup and took a sip without saying more.
Half of what I said, but I said it all.
The atmosphere in Baohua Tower was still relaxed and leisurely, but the few lords who had dispersed for the day had solemn expressions on their faces and had no interest in tasting the fragrant tea.
In a high-end government-run entertainment club, several college students were bragging with friends from other counties.
"Brother Elephant has resigned from being an official in hundreds of households, let alone an inspection tour? Everyone, I, the scholars of Wufeng County, are all noble-minded people who treat fame and fortune like dirt..."
"The oiran's maid is out!"
"Where? Where? Where?"
"..."
As soon as there was a buzz, I heard the little maid at the stairs say with a smile: "You are all great talents. My lady said that as long as you compose a poem, if you like it, I won't charge for tea today."
"Okay! I, 'Qilin Academy', am a master of poetry and poetry. There must be no need for this kind of competition, right? Everyone, give me some face, I..."
"Give it to your mother! Beat him!!"
"Hit! Beat! Beat him -"
As soon as he finished speaking, the scholars who came to spend money picked up their benches and began to fight. They smashed all the wine bottles and dishes that could be smashed.
I saw students from five academies fighting together. It was really a blue dragon fighting a white tiger, a red bird fighting a basalt, and then there were guys from the four schools fighting with the "Qilin'er" people...
This scene made the scholars from other counties stunned.
Although people in my hometown are also so jealous and jealous, it is really rare to see such fierce fighting like here in Wufeng County.
Autumn is approaching, and the scholars who think they will not pass the Jinshi examination are particularly enthusiastic, and they are determined to beat those who study well to death.
Based on the idea that if I can't pass the exam, you shouldn't think about it, so I have spent all my energy here. As for whether I can kiss the oiran of Beiyang Mansion, I don't have the energy to think about it.
At that moment, someone suddenly came from outside and shouted to the dozens of students fighting in groups: "Stop fighting! The elephant is back——"
"ah?!"
"You're back now?!"
"Hahahahahaha..." One person laughed and shook his hair very proudly, "This courtesan is from my 'Suzaku Academy' who came first -"
While shaking off the debris on his body, this person said loudly: "Today's loss belongs to me, Chen Mengnan!"
After that, he threw a piece of gold cake to the old bustard who was hiding under the stairs: "Oiran, keep it for my brother Elephant!"
Just when the oiran in the pavilion wanted to give some instructions, he heard a commotion downstairs and all the scholars had left, leaving behind a mess on the ground and an empty pavilion.
What is the meaning of being an oiran or not? Isn’t it just for fun?
How could it be interesting to see the majesty of Wei Elephant in person?
"elephant!"
"Brother Elephant!"
"Brother Wei!"
"Brother Wei, you have worked hard all the way!"
"Brother Elephant."
Scholars from several academies all came over to say hello with a smile, fighting was a fight, and they were jealous, but most of the scholars from the five major academies were very convinced of Wei Hao.
Not only because Wei Hao can fight, but also because Wei Hao dares to fight what they dare not fight.
When a scholar is angry, he can only rely on his words, which makes him somewhat regretful and somewhat unhappy.
"Haha, you brothers are probably jealous again, right?"
When Wei Hao saw their poor image, he guessed correctly.
"Hey! If I hadn't heard that you were back, I was about to decide the winner."
Chen Mengnan stepped forward and nudged him with his elbow, and said with a smile, "Oiran from Beiyang Mansion, do you want a kiss?"
"It's not a blessing to enjoy it, but you guys should enjoy it, Brother Chen. Autumn is coming soon, and I'm going to retreat to do my homework. I won't play with you in the past few days."
"Hey, what's the matter? When you get to high school, I'll hire some courtesans to come over and play. I'll cover all the expenses."
Chen Mengnan patted his chest and was even more enthusiastic about Wei Hao. Before, it was just a friendship between classmates, but now it is different. This is a classmate who has been an official, so he has to spend more money to run the business.
