Reborn Houmenhufu
Chapter 20 The Imperial Examination
Button button ...
He was immersed in his own thoughts, not long after the door was knocked, Qingmei's voice sounded outside the door, he opened his mouth to let someone in, and saw Qingmei's face was happy, as if something good had happened.
Before he could guess, Qingmei's voice sounded.
"Young master, it's a great thing. The second lady and the third lady sent someone to bring over some things, and said that if you lack anything in the past few months, just tell them."
Compared to Huang's stinginess, his second and third aunts are quite up to the mark, knowing that the reason why they got the housekeeping right today is all because of him, so why don't they send someone over to sell it immediately.
Although Wei Yan didn't just buy it off with such a small favor, it was a good thing for him that the other party was able to do so well, so he nodded to Qingmei and said that he knew.
Sure enough, in the morning of the next day, his simple breakfast changed into a porridge with bird's nest and white fungus that only the favored people can enjoy on weekdays.
Wei Yan didn't care much about eating, but he didn't mind if he could eat well. He didn't take good care of his body in the prime minister's mansion these years, and he was still a little weak now.
After eating breakfast, Qing Mei hurried in, holding a pile of very bright clothes in her hand, she didn't need to think that it was sent by the second and third wives.
He didn't hesitate to take the clothes and put them on, and then went out with the green bamboo.
Strolling on the roads of the capital, watching the crowds coming and going, Wei Yan suddenly realized that the three-year imperial examination was coming soon, no wonder there are so many scholars in the capital, and they all came to the capital in advance Get used to it here, let's get good grades in the imperial examination later.
He was going to Lin Zhi when he went out this time. Although he remembered the incident that he had ignored, he still went to find Lin Zhi.
Stepping into the small courtyard he rented for Lin Zhi, his eyes fell on the young man in Tsing Yi sitting under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, silently reading a book.
It was rare to see the other party so serious, Wei Yan stepped forward quickly and teased with a smile.
"You're in such a good mood today, you're actually reading a book."
Hearing Wei Yan's voice, Lin Zhi, who was originally immersed in the world of books, raised his head and smiled with raised eyebrows.
"Have you ever heard a saying that if you don't sharpen your guns before the battle, you will lose it. I just saw that the imperial examination is coming soon, so I decided to give it a try and get the champion back, so I can take care of you in the future!"
The other party elongated his tone. If he didn't have a fan in his hand at this time, he would have shaken the fan and stretched out the handle to pick the other party's chin. As soon as Lin Zhi's words fell, Wei Yan burst out laughing. Looking immature, with such a smile, two small dimples appeared on the cheeks with a little baby fat, and Lin Zhi, who was standing by the side, poked her meanly.
As soon as he made such a movement, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his hand. For a moment, he shrank his eyes, stepped back suddenly, and let out a low drink.
"Who?"
If he didn't feel wrong, there must be someone watching them, otherwise, why would his hand hurt for no reason?
"what happened?"
First, the cheek was touched innocently, and before he could say anything, Lin Zhi jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and yelled, so he couldn't help but ask.
Lin Zhi didn't answer his question, instead, his dark eyes fixed on the position where the thing that hit the back of his hand just now flew, but he looked around but didn't find anything unusual.
Wei Yan couldn't help raising his eyebrows and laughing when he saw his gossip. "I said you looked like you were making a fuss. Could it be a mistake?"
Lin Zhi frowned and said nothing but stared at the ground for a while, and suddenly saw a green walnut not far from him.
He walked over to pick it up, and the next moment he looked at the walnut tree in the yard, he saw a fluffy little squirrel jumping out from the branch of the tree and standing on the branch staring at them.
Wei Yan looked at the walnut in his hand and the pine tree on the tree and said suddenly.
"Aren't you just a squirrel?"
"Yeah, isn't it just a squirrel?"
At this moment, Lin Zhi felt that he seemed to be making a fuss, he was just a squirrel, he thought he was being spied on.After finishing speaking, he threw the green walnut aside, clapped his hands and said.
"Tell me, you didn't come here just to catch up with me, did you?"
Lin Zhi knew that his attitude towards Wei Yan was a bit casual, at least he was taken in by him, but he just didn't want to show any respect to him, and he thought that was probably the reason why he fell in love with him at first sight.
Wei Yan didn't know what he was thinking, but instead gave him a sideways glance, "Are you going to let me chat with you in the yard without inviting me in for a cup of tea?"
"It's just a cup of tea, come in."
After finishing speaking, Lin Zhi took Wei Yan into the house.
After entering the door, he poured Wei Yan a cup of tea with his own hands, and then smiled. "Now we can talk."
"Actually, what I want to talk about is the imperial examination."
Yes, he has had such thoughts ever since he saw the people coming and going on the street. He undoubtedly wants to seek revenge from King Yan, but he also knows that even if the other party is an unfavored prince now, he is not something he can compete with. Well, now that he got the money from An Tianyi, there are many things he can do, but the prerequisite for doing those things is that he has status.
He is a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and many people may think that his status is quite high, but only he himself knows that his identity is useless at critical times. He cannot do things in the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so there must be something behind it. A man in his early years.
Who else is more suitable for this person than Lin Zhi, his good friend in his previous life, whom he has met in this life?
Naturally, it was impossible for Lin Zhi to know the twists and turns in Wei Yan's heart at this time. He heard that the other party was going to tell him about the imperial examination, so he smiled and said indifferently.
"Are you going to take the imperial examination?"
"There is such a decision."
He was joking but when he heard such an answer, he couldn't help staring at Wei Yan with wide eyes in surprise. "Are you kidding me?"
"Why should I joke with you? Not only me, but you also have to take part in the imperial examination this time."
"why?"
Lin Zhi looked at Wei Yan with a pensive look in his eyes. He didn't see ambition in the eyes of this person in front of him, but he actually said that he was going to take the imperial examination?
When asked this question, Wei Yan sighed.
"We're too weak. In this capital, where ten people can hit seven or eight nobles with one blow, don't you want to live a better life?"
After getting along with him in the previous life, Wei Yan knew that his friend didn't have much ambition, so if he wanted to get the other party to agree with him, he had to start elsewhere?For example, if it can avoid some troubles, he believes that the other party will be tempted.
Sure enough, hearing his words, Lin Zhi fell into deep thought, and after a while he raised his head and said.
"Have you really decided?"
Being stared at by the other party's dark eyes, Wei Yan took a deep breath and said affirmatively.
"Naturally, I know you hate trouble, so we just need to pass the Jinshi exam."
The imperial examination is held every three years. Although there are only a hundred or so people who win the exam at a time, there are only so many positions in the entire Daliang court. There are many people who have passed the examination and have not become officials. If they don’t want to be officials If that is the case, it is enough to be inactive at that time, and no one will force them?
In fact, Lin Zhi had only been in the capital for only a few months, so he didn't know much about it. After listening to Wei Yan's explanation this time, he suddenly understood.
It turned out to be okay, but the imperial examination is not bad, no wonder so many families went bankrupt and wanted to raise a son who could study.
Seeing that Lin Zhi was tempted, Wei Yan continued.
"When you have fame, no matter what you want to do in the future, it will be very convenient. I still need your help."
"Okay then, let's prepare for it these days, but I haven't passed the test, so I don't know what to do?"
This may be troublesome for Lin Zhi, but it is not a problem for Wei Yan, he said.
"Just hand over your guide to me. I'll help you handle the household registration in the capital. When the time comes, put some money into the Imperial College and you will be able to get a place as a child student. You don't need to take the child student examination. Just do it."
In his previous life, he followed King Yan for almost ten years. Leaving aside the difficulties, he has learned a lot. Back then, he helped King Yan sort out the secrets of the court officials. A little out would put those people in a situation beyond redemption, and it would not be an exaggeration for him to use it now.
Lin Zhi heard Wei Yan say this matter lightly, but he is not stupid, he knows how difficult it is, thinking that he and Wei Yan have only known each other for a while, and the other party is so helpful to him, his I was very moved in my heart.
Thinking of this, he took out the only thing he had with him after he was driven out of the rental that day.
As soon as he took the thing out, he brought out another thing.
Wei Yan has been looking at him, and suddenly saw him take out the guide and another thing from his body, but his eyes were firmly glued to the thing he took out by mistake, and then his expression slowly became shocked stand up.
He was immersed in his own thoughts, not long after the door was knocked, Qingmei's voice sounded outside the door, he opened his mouth to let someone in, and saw Qingmei's face was happy, as if something good had happened.
