Chapter thirty-ninth brother-in-law looking at brother-in-law
Qi Run asked hesitantly: "But Mr. Liu Yucai from Class C?"
"My uncle has a keen eye, but the school my nephew attends is in Class C. As for Mrs. Liu's name, my nephew doesn't know."
"Well, although Liu Yucai is a bit of a scholar, he is still a famous scholar. It's not too bad for you to study under his sect. Autumn is coming this year. I wonder if my nephew is willing to participate? What if this year?
If you miss it, the next autumn visit will be three years later."
When Liu Mingzhi mentioned this, he felt a little guilty. He didn't know how much he weighed. It was fair to say that he had a few years of foundation in calligraphy, but this imperial examination was a black eye.
Since before the Qin Dynasty, the Shiqing Shilu system has been used to obtain official positions, and later, military merit was gradually used to confer titles.
In the Han Dynasty, the imperial court used the imperial examination system and the recruitment system to promote civilian talents. In the former, local officials recommended talents with both ability and political integrity, while talents recommended by prefectures and counties were called talents. Because the Han Dynasty, like the Qin Dynasty,
The system of prefectures and counties was implemented, so the talents recommended by the prefectures were Xiaolian.
As for the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the selection of officials was based on the ninth-grade Zhongzheng. Specific officials evaluated talents based on their origins and moral character. However, due to the strength of the clan, the selection of officials by the ninth-grade Zhongzheng gradually became dim.
As a result, there were no poor families in the upper class and no noble families in the lower class. This not only blocked the channels for people to obtain materials, but also allowed the nobles to control the candidates for the court.
Therefore, the birth of the imperial examination system greatly faired the way for civilians to enter the officialdom. The permanent subjects of the imperial examination included more than fifty kinds of subjects, such as Xiucai, Mingjing, and Jinshi.
Liu Mingzhi knew this, but he knew nothing about the content of the exam.
"To be fair to uncle, my nephew should be attending this autumn. My father has already ordered my nephew to attend."
"This is very good. I wonder if my nephew is sure of winning the election?"
Liu Mingzhi was stunned and laughed twice: "My uncle was joking. He doesn't know the difficulty of the test questions yet, and my nephew is not absolutely sure that he will win, so he can only go all out."
Seeing Liu Mingzhi like this, and thinking about what Song Shan had collected about Liu Mingzhi's past, Qi Run couldn't help but look at Liu Mingzhi. He didn't look like the Qilinzi mentioned by the emperor.
Although Liu Mingzhi behaved politely today, he still felt that there were some shortcomings, which was strange but could not be explained.
"In this case, the wise nephew needs to study more. Although the wise nephew now has the reputation of being a scholar, the scholar and the scholar are a big gap, and their identities are naturally very different. The only way to study hard is to study hard and be a good scholar.
Nephew, you must not be negligent."
"My nephew will definitely follow his uncle's teachings. When he returns home, he will turn on the lights three times and read at night."
"My son Qi Liang paid a visit to my father. My father, I heard that a dude named Liu came to visit me. Where is this person? I want to avenge my second sister."
A handsome-looking young man about sixteen or seventeen years old walked into the front hall angrily, shouting that he wanted to teach Liu Mingzhi a lesson.
When Liu Mingzhi heard the name Qi Liang, the image of the African boy appeared in his mind subconsciously. Liu Mingzhi thought to himself that it couldn't be such a coincidence. Qi Liang could be Qi Yun's brother?
However, Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qi Liang, who had a young complexion and fair skin. Not only was the Qi Liang in front of him not black, but he was as fair and healthy as a girl. It was probably just a misunderstanding of the same name.
However, Liu Mingzhi was embarrassed again because Qi Liang claimed that he was a playboy and wanted to take revenge on Liu Mingzhi who ruined his sister's innocence.
Future brother-in-law, do you believe me if I say that I touched your sister by mistake? Liu Mingzhi thought so in his heart, but he did not dare to say so, otherwise not only Qi Liang would be furious, but his future father-in-law would also whip him out of Qi Mansion.
I touched my nose in embarrassment, so I had to pretend to be deaf and dumb. I didn't hear what my future brother-in-law said, so I picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea to lighten the atmosphere.
Qi Run looked a little embarrassed when he saw his son rushing directly into the lobby without etiquette. You called Liu Mingzhi a dandy, and how could he have performed so well? Ignoring the hospitality of his elders and rushing directly into the lobby was not only rude, but also disrespectful.
It's rude.
Qi Run thought about Liu Mingzhi's every move since he entered the house, and then looked at his son. He felt that Qi Liang was not as knowledgeable about etiquette and etiquette as Liu Mingzhi. How could he say that other people's children were good? He was the same father.
In this way, if a son is good in many ways, one mistake will ruin everything; others are bad in many ways, but one good thing will cover up all the ugliness.
He snorted coldly: "You're rude, Young Master Liu is a guest when he comes to your door. If you treat a guest like this, you will learn all the poems and books from a dog. You little bastard, I will take care of you at night."
Liu Mingzhi snorted. As expected, he is a native of Jinling, and his cursing tone and words were almost the same.
Qi Liang glanced angrily at Liu Mingzhi, who was sitting at the side, with fire in his eyes: "Dad, this dandy ruined my sister's innocence in the misty pavilion, and everyone in Jinling knew it, what else can my sister do?
As a human being, I must teach him a lesson today."
Qi Run's face turned red, her eyes were bloodshot and she glared at Qi Liang fiercely: "Sir, shut up, get out of here and kneel in the ancestral hall. If I don't let you get up, you will have to kneel to death."
Qi Liang looked at his father dissatisfied: "Dad, you"
Qi Run said to Song Shan next to him: "Song Shan, push the young master down and make him kneel in the ancestral hall. No one can beg for mercy. Anyone who begs for mercy will be punished to kneel with him."
Song Shan looked at Qi Liang in embarrassment, his face red as if he was drunk: "Master, don't make things difficult for me. I'm angry now, so don't be stubborn."
Qi Liang flicked his sleeves and angrily followed Song Shan out of the hall.
"Song Shan, do you think there is a father like me? My daughter was bullied, and she actually got together with that person, drank tea and chatted. She actually helped outsiders speak and asked me to kneel down in the ancestral hall. This is not
The older you get, the more confused you become."
Song Shan sighed: "Master, you are really wrong this time. Anyone can discuss the scandal that happened in Misty Pavilion with Second Miss in private, but your Qi family can't talk about it openly or privately. Second Miss is the daughter of the daughter's family.
It is a taboo in the world to dress up as a man and steal away to the Fireworks Willow Alley. The master never mentioned this matter just because he wanted it to disappear secretly. You tell this matter today in front of the guests and servants.
, what’s bad is the second lady’s reputation.”
Qi Liang was stunned for a moment, recalling Song Shan's words, his face became increasingly ugly.
The reason why Qi Run was angry was because of this. Who didn't know that the second young lady of the Qi family visited a brothel privately, but due to the face of the governor, they could only discuss a few words in private. Although Liu Mingzhi said that he had defeated Qi Yun's innocence, but if
Other places will naturally be criticized verbally and writtenly, but the worst thing is what happened in the brothel.
In this era, it is natural for men to go to brothels, and it is a matter of course for women to go to brothels. It is against women's ethics, and no one else dares to talk about it. However, you, my brother, actually shouted out the four words "Misty Pavilion" openly and openly. You will not be punished.
Whoever kneels is punished by kneeling.
Liu Mingzhi laughed twice: "Uncle-in-law, how about my nephew come to visit me another day?"
After something like this happened, Qi Run naturally couldn't persuade Liu Mingzhi to stay, and nodded gently: "Young son is unreasonable, please don't take it to heart, my nephew. The door of my Qi Mansion is open to my nephew at any time."
"So my nephew, I would like to thank my uncle. I will take my leave."
"I'll see you off not far away. My dear nephew, please don't neglect your studies."
