Twenty words like this is definitely a good deal.
But Magistrate Zhu just watched him write quickly, and after a while, he filled a piece of paper.
On this piece of paper, it's all in small letters, with three or four hundred characters... Isn't this money too good to earn
"This is the county magistrate!" Shopkeeper Wei grabbed Yan Jingze and knelt down to salute himself.
"Sir." Yan Jing quickly came out from behind the table and was about to bow, but was stopped by the magistrate Zhu: "No need to be too polite."
"Thank you sir!" Yan Jing said.
"Are you a big talker?" The magistrate Zhu looked at the person in front of him curiously.
Officials cannot be officials in their own country of origin, and the magistrate of Zhu is not a southerner, but a northerner.
Northerners are all tall, but few are as tall as Yanjing. In addition, this man's face is cut like a knife, his eyebrows are vertical, his skin is dark, and he has a tough air. In short, he doesn't look like a scholar at all.
"Caomin Yanjing, people outside call me big." Yanjing said.
"It's better to meet you if you're famous... I didn't expect you to be so good at writing!" Zhu County magistrate asked, "I wonder who your teacher is?"
"Caomin learned it by himself." Yan Jing said.
Magistrate Zhu: "..." Did you learn such a good character by yourself
It was hard for the magistrate Zhu to believe it, but Li Xiucai and others said, "Sir, Mr. Yan has a talent that he will never forget!"
"As long as he has read it, he can write it well!"
"Sir, you can write a few words for him to learn!"
…
In the moment just now, Li Xiucai and others had already admired Yan Jingze and called him "Mr.".
If a literati is only slightly better than others, people may be jealous of him, but if he is too much better than others, everyone can only look up.
Yan Jing is now looked up to.
Hearing what they said, the magistrate Zhu immediately wrote a few words to Yan Jingze: "Can you write as well as me?"
Yan Jing was the best at imitation, and immediately wrote the exact same words, even more forcefully.
The magistrate of Zhu: "..." He will be tested once every three years, and only two or three hundred people will be selected as jinshi at a time. As a jinshi, he is also a bit arrogant. If nothing else, he will be all the elites and scholars in Donggu County. I didn't pay attention.
How many people have spent their whole life taking the exam, but they have never been admitted to the jinshi
But now seeing Yan Jingze... Even if this person is not even Tong Sheng, he doesn't dare to underestimate him.
The magistrate Zhu immediately asked about the others.
In these days, Yan Jing has already copied all the books to be tested in the scientific examination, and has memorized them all. He has also read a few annotations that can be bought in the bookstore.
Therefore, when the magistrate Zhu asked these questions, he could answer them, but only in general.
Such knowledge is really not worthy of his words... The magistrate Zhu asked, "How long have you been studying?"
"I just learned it for a few months." Yan Jing said.
Magistrate Zhu: "..."
Magistrate Zhu didn't know what to say anymore, so he asked after a while, "Why do you suddenly want to study?"
"Sir, I rescued Wei Lingxiu one day in the county seat. He told me about reading, and I became interested in reading." Yan Jing said.
The magistrate Zhu had forgotten about Yan Jingze and Wei Lingxiu before, but now hearing Yanjing talk about it, he couldn't help but ask, "You and the young master of the Wei family..."
"My lord! Caomin has been wronged!" Yan Jing said, "That day Caomin was going to discuss knowledge with Young Master Wei, but he never thought about the sky and daylight, but suddenly someone rushed in and said that we had done something unscrupulous, and we had to be arrested and used. The lynching, Caomin had no choice but to run away with Young Master Wei..."
When he first wore it, Yanjing only had the memory of the original owner, and he did things directly. He just wanted to take Wei Lingxiu away so that Wei Lingxiu would not be beaten.
But now that he has read many books, he knows that things are not so simple.
If nothing else, if Wei Lingxiu really has a bad reputation, it will greatly hinder his future.
Some things have to be covered up.
The magistrate Zhu didn't know whether he believed it or not. In short, he said: "So it is! It's really three people who become tigers, and rumors hurt people!"
Li Xiucai and others responded.
As for Yan Jingze and Wei Lingxiu, they took so many things with them when they left the Wei house. It doesn't look like they were in a hurry to run away... It's all rumors!
The county magistrate Zhu and Yanjing said a lot before they left. They also wished Yanjing good luck in the exam. They had a good impression of Yanjing. With his words, Yanjing had to take the county exam, so there was no obstacle. .
As for Wei Lingxiu... Yan Jing has another idea!
After the county magistrate left, Yan Jing counted the words he had written, and Li Xiucai and others also took out silver taels to pay.
They wanted to buy calligraphy treasures in Japan today, and they all brought silver taels.
Paying bills with silver taels is actually inconvenient. At this time, the fineness of silver taels is different, and the number of copper coins that can be exchanged is also different, and it needs to be weighed...
It takes a lot of work just to pay.
After receiving the money, Yanjing went to the market to buy things.
The restaurant in Donggu County also sells cooked food, the most famous of which are roast chicken and braised duck. Yan Jing bought six of each, and some wine, and went to the casino again.
He gave the wine to his former subordinates, and left behind five roast chickens and five braised ducks, as well as seven or eight taels of broken silver.
It didn't take long for some news to spread in Donggu County.
"Have you heard? That young master of the Wei family was not driven out of the Wei family because of his quarrel with Yan."
"It's the wife of the Wei family who can't stand the son left by the wife of the original wife, so she set up a bureau to drive him out!"
"No one is in their own home in the blue sky..."
"I heard that Wei Lingxiu's maternal uncle was originally an official, but now something has happened, and the Wei family wants to clear the relationship!"
…
Such rumors are still very much in the market.
Especially... Didn't they all say that the young master of the Wei family is incompetent? But recently, Zhao Xiucai always said that Wei Lingxiu was talented and smart, and even the questions raised by Wei Lingxiu were too difficult for Zhao Xiucai to answer.
It can be seen that the words of the Wei family are not credible.
So when Wei Lingxiu went out, he found that more people looked at him with sympathy.
Wei Lingxiu: "..." What the hell is going on here
What shocked Wei Lingxiu even more was that that night, Yan Jing was unexpectedly generous, and even took out half a chicken and half a duck to share with him.
"Brother Yan, have you made a lot of money?" Wei Lingxiu asked, while Yanjing was really saving money!
Yan Jing immediately talked about his own words and 20 essays, and also talked about the encounter with the county magistrate today, and finally said: "In the next two months, we will concentrate on preparing for the test, and we must do well in the test!"
Wei Lingxiu was taken aback: "My father wants to remove me from the genealogy... I..." The Wei family really wanted to do this, he couldn't go to the scientific examination at all.
"Don't worry, no!" Yan Jing said.
The matter of delisting was mentioned by Wei Lingxiu's younger brother before, but that ancestral hall is not something that can be opened if one wants to.
Generally speaking, each family will open an ancestral hall at the end of the year, and if there are more children in the family, or a man married a wife, the names of these people will be added to the genealogy.
Although the Wei family wants to remove Wei Lingxiu from the name, it has not had time to do so - it is not yet the time to worship the ancestors and open the ancestral hall at the end of the year!
Waiting for rumors to spread... The Wei family is not only the Wei Zhiyuan family, but also other people, and those people may not agree to remove Wei Lingxiu from the name.
The next day, after Yan Jing sent Wei Lingxiu to Zhao Xiucai, he went to buy a lot of things, including a bed.
God is pitiful, his house had no bed before, and he always slept on the door panel! Fortunately, many sheets and quilts were brought back from Wei Lingxiu's house. He later bought quilts, and the two of them were not frozen.
Of course, in addition to these, he also paid people to make himself a few clothes worn by scholars.
At first, when the businessmen in Donggu County saw Yan Jingze, they all had the expression "I'm going to be unlucky when I met this person." They wished that Yanjing would not come to his house to buy things, but a few months later, The situation changed, and when they saw Yan Jingze, some people greeted him with a smile.
This is the way the world is. A good person suddenly does a bad thing, which will make people's impression of him get worse, but if the bad person suddenly gets better... Everyone's impression of him can quickly get better again.
Yan Jing has never bought things on credit recently, and has been paying back the money owed by the original owner one after another, which flattered some businesses.
"Isn't that Yanda really changed?"
"He came to me to buy things recently, and he paid for it."
"Does he really plan to live a good life with that young master Wei?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I heard that Young Master Wei has nothing to do with Yan Da."
"I heard people say that Yan Da is still studying recently..."
…
When all kinds of news spread, someone in the Wei family was angry.
After Wei Lingxiu was kicked out, Wei Zhiyuan returned to Fucheng to teach, and only recently came back near the Chinese New Year.
He thought that after his eldest son was kicked out of the house, he would live in poverty, and it was not uncommon for him to die one day, but...
This guy has a good life, and went to study
That Zhao Xiucai, even complimented him in every possible way
And the rumors that spread... Wei Zhiyuan is hard not to get angry.
Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei were also angry, but Wei Lingxiu was at home, so they could manage it. Now that Wei Lingxiu was not at home, what should they do? He could only say that Wei Lingxiu was unfilial when he was going out for a party.
"Your eldest is only eighteen, and he's not married... Did he beat you or scold you for being unfilial?"
"Aren't people at such an old age studying, how can they do unfilial things?"
"Speaking of which, other people's children started seeing their daughter-in-law at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Before you, you were not worried about him at all."
…
In Donggu County, there are people who have a good relationship with the Wei family, and some who have a bad relationship with the Wei family. Wei Lingxiu... Ordinary people outside think that Wei Lingxiu used to eat and drink well, and he seems to be very favored by the Wei family. I don't think so.
I haven't seen the old lady of the Wei family and the wife of the Wei family. Do you never talk about Wei Lingxiu when you go out
Wei Lingxiu was eighteen, and he didn't care about his lifelong affairs at all.
It's that Wei Lingxiu and that Yan Dazhen have something... If something like this happened to their children, how could they shout? Wei Lingxiu is said to be like this, definitely because the Wei family doesn't care about him.
Mrs. Wei was so angry that she was speechless.
At the same time, Mr. Zhou, who had returned to his hometown because of filial piety in the next county, received a few more greetings.
These days, I don't know how many people send greetings to Lord Zhou, including Juren and Xiucai, and Lord Zhou is annoying.
Fortunately, he could reject all those talents outright.
"Who is it?" Lord Zhou asked.
The servants of the Zhou family said they didn't know each other, so Lord Zhou opened the post.
When this was opened, Lord Zhou was stunned.
The words on the pilgrimage... This word is too good!
"This... this... good word!" Master Zhou said, "Quickly invite someone in! Have someone serve good tea!"
Master Zhou held this invitation letter and didn't let go. He wanted to copy it immediately, but he wanted to meet the person who handed it in... He put down the invitation letter in his hand, took a deep breath, and opened another invitation letter to let himself Calm down.
And these people came together, he always looked at who they were.
result…
"This... this..." The words on this post are actually as good as those on the previous post! It's just that the ring is fat and Yan is thin, and each has its own characteristics.
Lord Zhou suddenly thought of something, and went to read the rest of the post.
The words on the remaining few salutations are equally outstanding!
The words on these prayers are different, but they are all made by everyone. What is even more amazing is that the owner of these prayers is only a scholar from Donggu County.
He hasn't returned to his hometown for a long time, and all the scholars in Donggu County next door are so powerful? !
