Qin Dewei's main job at the county government today was to write a letter, which also included a poem, and then urged Magistrate Feng to copy a copy.
In the afternoon, nothing happened, so I went home. While still in the yard, I heard Liu Yue and Xu Miaoxuan sitting in the middle hall talking.
Qin Dewei, who had gradually developed mentally and physically, rubbed his hands, turned to Hao Danian and said, "Buy some wine!"
Xu Miaoxuan had promised before that as long as the imperial examination was over, she would accompany her to have a drink, or even be more intimate.
Xu Miaoxuan heard Qin Dewei's voice and stuck her head out and said, "Don't worry yet."
Qin Dewei entered the room and said with a smile: "Sister Xuan is here to fulfill her promise? It's better to choose a different day. I think today is good."
Xu Miaoxuan, who had a straight face at first, suddenly laughed angrily: "Brother Qin, how dare you say this?"
Qin Dewei pretended to be cheerful and said: "Didn't our brother also pass the government examination? It's a happy event and it's worth celebrating! Why are you embarrassed?"
Xu Miaoxuan gritted her teeth and said, "You actually lied to me."
"What did I lie to you about?" Qin Dewei said pretending to be confused.
Xu Miaoxuan was a little annoyed: "I thought you wouldn't pass the imperial examination, and I feel very sorry for you."
Liu Yue said from the side: "My young master never said that he could not pass the government examination. It was you who misunderstood that he could not pass."
Xu Miaoxuan was stunned. After thinking about it for a moment, it seemed that Qin Dewei had never personally said that he could not pass the imperial examination. It was his own judgment that he would fail.
Xu Miaoxuan, who thought she was quite smart, was really angry, and accused her: "Then you knew you could pass the government examination, and yet you tricked me into agreeing to accompany you!"
Liu Yue replied on behalf of Qin Dewei: "My young master only said that he wanted to find Wang Lianqing. It was Sister Xuan who took the initiative to say that you wanted to accompany my young master."
Xu Miaoxuan was still making the final struggle and said to Qin Dewei: "I thought you were going to fail the imperial examination, so I agreed to you. In order to comfort you after the imperial examination."
"Sister Xuan, think about what you want to say." Liu Yue explained on Qin Dewei's behalf: "Look, the original agreement was after the government examination was over, not after failing, right?"
Xu Miaoxuan glared at Liu Yue and said, "You master and maidservant are colluding together to tease me, right?"
Liu Yue turned to Qin Dewei and said, "Young master! It seems that Sister Xuan is not happy, let's forget it? Don't embarrass Sister Xuan. Why make it difficult for Sister Xuan? Let her go."
What does "let her go" mean? Qin Dewei was speechless. You, Liu Yue, have been waiting for a long time, are you just waiting to say this?
"The slave family is just afraid that the young master and Sister Xuan will have a dispute and hurt their feelings. It's better not to force it." Liu Yue lowered her head and said.
Xu Miaoxuan looked at Liu Yue, suddenly smiled, and said to Qin Dewei: "Actually, brother Qin doesn't know something. I came here today to invite brother Qin to my place for a drink."
Qin Dewei was very surprised that Xu Miaoxuan actually took the initiative to prepare?
Xu Miaoxuan suddenly saluted Qin Dewei solemnly: "In any case, Brother Qin helped my younger brother to pass the county examination and the government examination consecutively. This is really a deep kindness and kindness. I am extremely grateful. I will always thank you."
Given the level of literacy in Nanjing, even though the county examination and the prefectural examination are the most basic examinations, the elimination rate is astonishingly cruel. Only one person out of ten who can pass the county examination and the prefectural examination in one go will survive.
Even if you can find the right path and have the opportunity to spend money to pass the level, you can't get there without two hundred taels. If you can't even pass the most basic exam, then the so-called road to fame is nonsense.
Not to mention, if Xu Miaojing, a child from a military household, wants to avoid being caught as cannon fodder in the military service, she must complete the Primary 3 exam before reaching adulthood at the age of 16. The time is extremely tight, and there are basically not many opportunities for trial and error to fail.
And now that Xu Miaojing has passed the government examination, she at least has the status of a child. Even if she goes to serve in the military in the future, she may still be assigned some paperwork.
Therefore, Qin Dewei helped Xu Miaojing pass two levels, which is indeed a great kindness. Xu Miaoxuan, who has experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships since childhood, cannot be so ignorant.
But Liu Yue said, "Sister Xuan, you pretended to be unhappy just now, which scared the slave family."
Xu Miaoxuan glanced at Qin Dewei and said thoughtfully: "Brother Qin, don't you like to go to the old courtyard to relax? I heard that some women in the courtyard are quite popular as they refuse to welcome you."
Liu Yue then suggested: "Young master has worked hard outside today, and it's really tiring to have to run back and forth. Why don't we just set up a bar here, it will be more lively with more people."
Xu Miaoxuan came closer to Qin Dewei, bent down slightly, lowered her head and whispered to Qin Dewei: "I have sent my brother-in-law to Mr. Zeng, I am the only one in the family."
"You don't need to say any more!" Young Master Qin Dewei's eyes brightened and he waved to Liu Yue: "It's rare that Sister Xuan is so sincere, so I'll just go over!"
Liu Yue said aggrievedly: "The slave family just feels sorry for the young master who is working so hard. He is not used to it there. He is not as comfortable as at home."
"I know, I know, I might as well do it!" Qin Dewei said a few words casually, added a few sips of tea, and then went out with Xu Miaoxuan.
Xu Miaoxuan's residence was found with Qin Dewei's help. It's not far away, just a short walk to the west.
Entering the main room, I saw a small wine pot on the table, as well as washed fruits, as well as some cooked meat and cold dishes. Although the food and wine were not very expensive, Xu Miaoxuan was poor, so it would be difficult to buy these.
Qin Dewei smiled and said: "Sister Xuan is very interested, but it is too expensive."
After sitting down, Qin Dewei held the wine glass and said: "Actually, I don't drink outside, even when I was at Wang Lianqing's place. But today I will make an exception."
Xu Miaoxuan also held a wine glass and replied: "I have heard a saying that wine is a matchmaker for sex. If others are drinking outside, they are also looking for sex.
And I think Brother Qin, you are bound to have Wang Lianqing take the initiative to embrace you, so there is no need to drink at all."
Qin Dewei was suddenly a little embarrassed. His pretense was exposed. So should he drink this wine? Doesn't drinking mean that he admits the thoughts of the "sex matchmaker"?
Xu Miaoxuan took the initiative to drink the wine in the glass and gestured to Qin Dewei.
Qin Dewei was surprised. He was not afraid of women, so what else was he afraid of as a man? He raised his head boldly and poured the wine in the glass into his mouth.
The two chatted about the government examination casually, after all, it was the hottest topic recently.
Xu Miaoxuan asked curiously: "What happened to the examiner? When did you collude with him?"
Qin Dewei was a little complacent. After drinking, he uttered the truth: "Do you all think that I just made a spur-of-the-moment idea? In fact, I started to make a conscious plan a year ago."
"A year ago?" Xu Miaoxuan didn't believe it and thought it was just nonsense.
Qin Dewei showed off: "Yes, it was a year ago! When Jiang Er came to destroy the house, I began to think about the issue of the imperial examination since I knew his identity as the Prince of Fuyin! I have thought of various methods and tried many
There are many ways, and the final one is He Tuiguan’s side!
Because when I went to the government office for Xingming official matters, I had dealt with He Tuiguan, who was in charge of Xingming. I knew him well and knew that he was about to leave office this year, so I had the prerequisite for cooperation!
I created public opinion to put pressure on Fu Yin outside, while He Tuiguan added fuel to the flames inside the government office, looking for opportunities to make suggestions to get Fu Yin to withdraw from the government examination, and then He Tuiguan took over the position of chief examiner."
Xu Miaoxuan suddenly thought of something and asked tentatively: "When you postponed the county examination for two months, was it also to postpone the government examination to get closer to the date when He was promoted to leave office?
In this way, He Tuiguan can quickly leave after the imperial examination is completed, without having to face the imperial governor directly, so as to avoid future troubles?"
Qin Dewei laughed: "How can we not, isn't it all to prevent our brother from traveling in the cold spring!"
After a few glasses of wine, everyone became drunk. Qin Dewei took the opportunity to pour the wine, pretended not to stand still, sat down next to Xu Miaoxuan, and leaned over.
Xu Miaoxuan did not run away, but turned her head away with a blushing face, not daring to look at Qin Dewei.
Qin Dewei's eyes wandered into his collar, and he said with the smell of alcohol in his mouth: "Sister Xuan, you surprised me today. I really didn't expect that we could be so intimate."
Xu Miaoxuan seemed to be more sober than Qin Dewei, and replied: "After all, I promised to accompany you to have a drink. Besides, isn't it also to thank Brother Qin?"
For some reason, Qin Dewei found these words unpleasant. "Is it really just to thank you?"
"Did Brother Qin drink too much? Of course it's to thank you." Xu Miaoxuan pretended not to understand what Qin Dewei meant.
Qin Dewei became more and more unhappy and asked dissatisfiedly: "Only thanks?"
Xu Miaoxuan supported her chin with one hand and looked at Qin Dewei sideways: "Yes, what else can there be for except gratitude?"
Qin Dewei suddenly felt inexplicably annoyed and shouted softly: "How much can you thank me for helping your brother so much?"
Xu Miaoxuan's eyes flickered for a few times, and she slowly said: "Then let's see how much you want to ask for, Brother Qin."
Her words sounded like she was submissive, but Qin Dewei felt very distressed. He stretched out his hand angrily and inserted it directly from her collar.
"What if that's the case?" Qin Dewei asked.
Xu Miaoxuan's eyebrows seemed to be frowning, and her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of smoke. She said softly: "Brother Qin, it would be better if he could be gentler."
Qin Dewei suddenly and roughly hugged her red neck, raised his head and leaned towards her, aimed at her lips, and kissed her deeply and deeply for a while.
Then he gasped and asked: "What about this?"
Xu Miaoxuan turned away and breathed lightly: "Brother Qin, just like it."
Qin Dewei seemed to be irritated, "Do you really think I can't do anything?" Then, using the strength of the wine, he tried to pick up Xu Miaoxuan and throw her to the bed in the inner room.
But when faced with a mature girl who was half a foot taller than him, Qin Dewei, who still had small arms and legs, swayed a few times but didn't move, and the atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.
Phew! Xu Miaoxuan suddenly burst out laughing, lying on the table, her shoulders shaking, laughing until she was out of breath.
"What on earth do you mean? I always feel that something is wrong with you today!" Qin Dewei, who was short and weak, became angry with embarrassment.
