Surprisingly, Brother Zhen refused without hesitation:
"There is no need to spend such unjust money. The scholar-gentleman is upright and upright. He will not select people based on personal happiness and anger. He can be selected as long as he has good literary talent. Instead of engaging in these heresy, it is better to spend more time studying."
The muscles on Ye Shiming's face twitched slightly, and he was obviously angry and embarrassed, but he showed a pretentious smile and persuaded earnestly in the tone of someone who had experienced it:
"Brother Zhen, you are still young. You have never taken the scientific examination and don't know the twists and turns. There are many talented people in the world, but few of them pass the examination successfully. I was like you when I was young.
After many detours, I now understand that the scientific examination is not only about personal talent, but also about the preference of the examiner. Brother Zhen, listen to my advice and buy some information together."
Cui Weizhen used to disdain to deal with villains like Ye Shiming, and he only tried to persuade him because he was Ye Zhenzhen's second uncle. Now he just thought he was stupid and noisy, and he frowned slightly:
"My family is poor and I have no money, so my uncle can buy it himself."
This is indeed an irrefutable reason.
But Ye Shiming knew that the Cui family had some wealth, so he sold the jade bracelet on Aunt Cui's hand, which was marketable and priceless. He did not give up and wanted to continue to instigate.
Ye Zhenzhen saw that something was wrong. Her second uncle had no profit and couldn't afford to go early. He had many friends and friends. He wanted to join in and buy information. Why did he insist on dragging Brother Zhen along?
She was suspicious and asked calmly, "Second uncle, how much money does it cost to buy the news?"
Brother Zhen frowned at her, and Ye Zhenzhen winked at him quickly, not sure if he understood it, but she didn't intervene anymore. Ye Shiming also misunderstood like Brother Zhen, thinking she was moved, and his face lit up with joy, and he couldn't wait.
said:
"Ten taels of silver!"
The two of them shared ten taels of silver, but it was still expensive. People who relied on fields and forests to support themselves could not spend more than five taels all year round.
Unexpectedly, Ye Shiming added another sentence: "It's 10 taels per person after sharing. This is already discounted because of my face."
Oh, what a great honor.
Ye Zhenzhen really wanted to curse people, was Ye Shiming deceiving them as fools who had never seen the world?
Is the information revealed by a member of the Xuezheng tribe worth twenty taels? One tael of silver is too expensive!
"What news is worth twenty taels? Did the second uncle find out? I only talked about Master Xuezheng's preferences. This is very broad. If someone tells you that Master Xuezheng likes to eat eggs, sleep and grind his teeth, does that count? Yours
Should I pay the money or not?"
A smile flashed in Cui Weizhen's eyes.
But Ye Shiming blushed and accused her angrily:
"It's insulting to politeness! What do you, a woman, know?"
"Although I am a woman, I still understand what I should know."
Ye Zhenzhen was also educated for exams, and she knows the rules of exams very well:
“It’s right to inquire about the examiner’s preferences before taking the exam, but you also need to look at what the preferences are. For example, what is the examiner’s personality like? Is he plain or radical? What are his political opinions? What books have he written? What fonts do he prefer? Does he prefer pragmatism or literary talent?
Remarkable? How are the recent affairs of the court? Waiting for these are the most important things to pay attention to."
She glanced at Second Uncle Ye's pig liver-colored face and continued to add: "Second Uncle, you hurriedly donated money to people without asking clearly. The money at home didn't come from strong winds. It's just selling blood and meat."
It’s not enough for you to fill it in.”
She didn't believe that the friends who dealt with Ye Shiming could get any valuable information.
Cui Weizhen, who was listening to the farce casually, finally showed his serious face. Scholars who were not mentioned may not understand these imperial examinations. How did Ye Zhenzhen, a farm girl, understand this?
Just look at Ye Shiming, he is an example. He is looking at Ye Zhenzhen dumbfounded and asks in disbelief,
"How do you know this?"
Oops, the secret was revealed when I got excited.
Ye Zhenzhen subconsciously looked at Brother Zhen, and saw the familiar scrutinizing gaze. Apparently he was also suspicious.
The time-traveling heroine in the novel is omnipotent and can attract a group of idiot fans called 666 even when she sings a song. Why does she arouse suspicion when it comes to her?
Isn't she the destined heroine?
This is embarrassing.
She was still worried about how to explain it, but the mother came out to defend her daughter. Now she felt proud and started to brag without thinking:
"The eldest girl in our family has been smart since she was a child. She can learn everything quickly and can cook at the age of six. Now that she is married to Brother Zhen and has absorbed his culture, what's the fuss about knowing this? She can still cook in the future.
To be able to read and write, to be an official's wife, this is a natural blessing that others cannot ask for."
She glanced at her sister-in-law Li Cuier and Erya triumphantly, and her dissatisfaction because her daughter could not marry her maternal nephew also dissipated.
Seeing that Brother Zhen is capable and will not starve Daya, and Daya seems to be much more sensible and smart after getting married, she is very happy.
This daughter of the Ye family is not just Erya who has a future.
Ye Zhenzhen was so moved by Aunt Ye's protection.
She immediately became confident:
"Mom is right! I am naturally smart and have a flexible mind. I can understand many things with just a little thought. What's so difficult about knowing how to take an exam?"
Ye Zhenzhen's deception was so deceptive that the Ye family felt it was quite reasonable. Especially Siya and Huwa, their eyes were almost filled with stars when they looked at their eldest sister. They felt that the married eldest sister had become
Very old.
Mary Sue's aura is in full swing, and she has gained two crazy fans again, which is gratifying.
It's a pity that the halo didn't shine all over Brother Zhen, and he was still doubtful.
But he couldn't find the reason, so he could only suppress his doubts in his heart, so as not to pay more attention to Ye Zhenzhen.
Of course, there are those who don’t believe it, and there are also those who believe it but are unwilling to accept it. For example, Ye Shiming started to find fault with,
"It's an insult to politeness! What a noble status a scholar has. It's so ignorant!"
It seems that belittling her like this can help him find a sense of superiority. But Ye Shiming is a person who deceives the world and steals his reputation, and his existence is polluting the environment.
Ye Zhenzhen rolled her eyes greatly:
"Second uncle has not yet achieved fame, but he is quite dignified. The book also teaches people about etiquette, justice and integrity. How can second uncle follow suit and learn from it?"
