Six hundred and twentieth eight chapters effect Lu
The three of them looked to the side together. They saw a man in his mid-twenties, wearing a white silk shirt and holding a folding fan in his hand. His skin was quite fair, he was of medium height, he had a small nose and small eyes, and he looked extremely ordinary.
A person who disappears when thrown into a crowd has no special characteristics.
The man's bragging made everyone around him laugh. The man suddenly became anxious, "I'm telling the truth! My uncle's surname is Yu, and my two cousins are Chen Qing's concubines. They are rare couples. Could it be that he
Not my brother-in-law?"
Still no one around believed him. Some people laughed strangely and said: "My surname is Chen, and Chen Qing is my cousin!"
Everyone laughed loudly again.
"No noise!" the official who maintained order walked by and shouted, everyone fell silent. The man could only shut his mouth angrily, not daring to brag anymore.
Zhong Huan lowered his voice and said: "This person may be telling the truth, not bragging!"
Chao Qing and Su Ce looked at each other, and Chao Qing asked: "How do you know this?"
"My father heard Li Jong, the prefect of Chengdu, say last year that Governor Chen Xuan had a pair of girls by his side who would become his concubines in the future."
Chao Qing frowned, "Even if it's true, this person is too shallow! How can he publicly announce that he is the brother-in-law of Xuanfushi, and call him by his first name, without showing the most basic respect, and say that the exam is
Just going through the motions, doesn’t this publicly damage the reputation of the Xuanfu envoy?”
Su Ce sneered and said: "The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. It's normal!"
Not long after, they lined up through the gate. Registration was very simple. Each person filled out a registration form. Most people had already filled out the registration form. Almost every inn had a blank form, and the shopkeeper would give it to every guest.
In the hands of the son.
Then draw a test coupon on the spot with a seat number on it. Give the test ticket to the registration examiner. The examiner will register your name and place of origin on the test ticket on the spot, then fill in the test ticket number on the registration form, and finally notify you to visit the examination room.
time, the registration will be over.
The three of them walked out of the door and Chao Qing smiled and said: "Go have a drink, I'll treat you!"
"Why are you treating me? It's your turn to pay for it!" The three of them laughed and walked directly to Dongda Street.
The man who was bragging just now also signed up, and suddenly someone from behind slapped him hard, "Brother Lin Xian, long time no see!"
When the man turned around, he saw an unfamiliar face behind him. It seemed that he had never seen it before, but the other person knew that his surname was Lin.
"I've been reading too much lately, and my mind is almost turning into mush. Your Excellency..."
"You have forgotten that a month ago we were drinking together. My surname is Li, and everyone calls me Li Toutuo. Brother Jianqing even laughed at me practicing with my hair."
The man still had no memory at all. He probably forgot what happened a month ago! The other party actually knew that his name was Lin Jianqing, so he must have known him.
He laughed dryly and said, "So it's Brother Li. Are you here to sign up today too?"
"Yes! The registration just ended. It's been a long time. Let's go have a drink. I'll treat you!"
When he heard that the other party invited him to drink, Lin Jianqing immediately smiled and said, "Then I will be disrespectful!"
........
Lin Jianqing was the cousin of the Yu sisters. Although he was a scholar, he was greedy for money, lustful and drunk. He was very fond of taking advantage of small things and was extremely stingy. He always drank and ate without taking a penny. As time went by, his classmates and classmates no longer paid attention to him.
He, now he has almost no friends around him.
Suddenly he met someone who knew him well and invited him to drink. How could Lin Jianqing be in a bad mood? When he was in a good mood, he naturally drank a few more drinks and said many things that should be said and things that should not be said at once.
"Toutuo, I'm really not bragging. My two cousins are really beautiful, especially the little cousin. She is like the reincarnation of a vixen. That figure, wow! Any man would drool just by looking at her."
Li Toutuo, who was sitting opposite, filled another glass of wine for him and said with a smile: "Why don't you keep such a good cousin to yourself?"
"Hey! There was originally a woman who would be mine. Both families agreed back then, but they were too famous in their hometown. In order to climb up the ranks, the magistrate forcibly selected them as show girls. Both their parents died.
There was nothing my father could do if he refused, but somehow it fell into the hands of Chen Qing, and in the end it was no longer with me."
"It's not necessarily true! When Bianliang City was destroyed, those noble women who used to be high up in society did not enter the brothels or brothels. There were so many. If Chen Qing was unlucky, his wives and concubines would definitely be sent back to their parents' homes. Your chances are not good.
It’s coming.”
Lin Jianqing's eyes lit up. If Yu Ying and Yu Lian were sent back to her parents' home, wouldn't they just go back to her own home? She would get both people and wealth!
"Do you think there is any way to make Chen Qing unlucky?" Lin Jianqing couldn't help but ask again.
Li Toutuo chuckled, "We are just joking around at the wine table, but we can't take it seriously. If his spies hear it, our heads will fall off."
valley
Lin Jianqing's disappointment showed on his face, and he sighed, "You are right, he is the king of Sichuan and Shaanxi, how can his woman be something that a little person like me can care about?"
"Xian brother, since he is your brother-in-law, you should use this relationship to do everything possible to climb up. As long as you have power and money, are you afraid that you can't find a good woman? Don't talk about it far away, Tang Sisi, the oiran of Baihualou, you
You should have seen her before! If you know the state well, it will be easy to take her as your concubine."
Lin Jianqing had indeed seen Tang Sisi from Baihualou. It was said that one night's flesh and gold cost five hundred guan, which was not something he dared to think about. However, Tang Sisi was just more talented and had fairer skin, but her figure was a bit too thin. He didn't like it.
type.
He still likes his cousin Yu Lian. He has visited the brothels in Jingzhao and has seen countless beauties. But Yu Lian's figure really shocked him. No woman can compare with it. Yu Ying is almost the same. How can he
I never would have imagined that two skinny yellow-haired girls who had not seen each other for just six or seven years would actually turn into gods.
He felt regretful in his heart, but he also knew that Li Toutuo was right. He had a relationship like Chen Qing, and it would be a pity not to make good use of it.
"But... what should I do?"
Li Toutuo smiled and said: "Brother Xian also knows that my family is a wealthy family in Chengdu. They have money but no status. My father forced me to take the imperial examination. I know that I will definitely fail. I am thirty years old and I am not good at studying.
But I admire Lu Buwei the most. He invested in a foreigner and became the prime minister of Qin. If I invest in a good brother, I wonder what kind of gains I will get?"
Lin Jianqing was overjoyed. Someone was willing to spend money on him. It was like pie in the sky!
He quickly clasped his fists and said: "If I become prosperous, I will definitely report heavily, and at the very least I will recommend my brother to be an official. I can't guarantee how big an official he will be, but the county magistrate is fine. Maybe in the future we can advance and retreat together and hold high power.
"
Li Toutuo nodded, "In this case, you must listen to my every step of the arrangement. First of all, you must have a good image, be modest and eager to learn, self-disciplined and decent, considerate of orphans and children, and do not make friends with bad friends. I will arrange these one by one, and you will follow them."
I will teach you how to do it, and then I will spend a lot of money to let you pass the imperial examination. You have image, talent, and you are Chen Qing's brother-in-law. Of course he will reuse you. You listen to my arrangement. It won't take you two years.
You can rise to a high position. As for women, you don’t have to worry. I won’t let you be a monk. You will still enjoy what you should enjoy.”
Lin Jianqing rubbed his hands with joy, "Then what should I do now?"
Li Toutuo said calmly: "You go home now, change your clothes immediately, wear a blue cloth coat and a half-old plain scarf, and then stay at home and don't come out. If you come here at this time tomorrow, I will give you
You can memorize a few poems when you go back."
Li Toutuo took out another ingot of silver from his leather bag, about fifty taels, and pushed it to Lin Jianqing, "If you have any debts outside, go and pay them off immediately."
Lin Jianqing blushed, he really owed a lot of debt outside.
...........
Just by the window on the second floor of the same restaurant, Chao Qing and the others were drinking and chatting. Chao Qing held the wine glass and said with a smile: "Guess what the countermeasure questions will be in this imperial examination?"
Zhong Huan hesitated and said: "I guess it has something to do with the recent current situation. Could it be Xixia?"
Chao Qing and Su Ce both laughed. As expected of the Zhong family, they always thought about destroying Xixia.
"Why are you laughing? Isn't it possible?" Zhong Huan glared dissatisfied.
Su Ce smiled and said: "Old Zhong, think about it, if you take the Xixia exam, how many of these scholars can do the exam? They will all turn in blank."
Zhong Huan was right when he thought about it. Apart from himself, there was probably no one else who understood Xixia. He really didn't know how to think about Xixia, so he had no choice but to laugh dryly and stop talking.
"What does Xiao Su think the test will be?" Chao Qing asked again.
"I think it's the strategy of Sichuan and Shaanxi. I heard that Xuanfu attaches great importance to Bashu business. He initiated the establishment of the Tea Horse Market in the north of Chengdu. The business is booming. For the Western Army, military expenditures are a big part, so how to increase financial resources?
, must be what Xuanfu is most concerned about, and it is definitely right to consider the issue in this aspect."
Chao Qing gave a thumbs up and praised: "You are indeed a sensible person!"
"Look, that person is here too!"
Zhong Huan pouted toward the elegant room. Chao Qing and Su Ce looked together and saw two people walking out of an elegant room. The person in front of him was the man who boasted that he was the uncle of the Xuanfu ambassador in the morning queue, and the person behind him was
A tall and thin man, about thirty years old, with dark skin, put his hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him and whispered something to him. The two of them looked very intimate.
"The man behind is a practicing master!"
Zhong Huan said coldly: "You can tell by looking at his hands. He has worked hard on archery for at least ten years."
"Can you tell this?"
"You are all pure scholars, so of course you can't tell it, but I know it. I have been practicing for ten years, so I can tell it at a glance."
Chao Qing waved his hand, "Hey! Who cares, it has nothing to do with us. Let's continue guessing what the title of the poem will be?"
Su Ce was no longer interested, but Zhong Huan stared at the tall and thin man walking down the stairs. He felt that there was murderous intent in this man.
