Prime Minister

Chapter 275 Why is it you?
According to the palace test, it was only a few days away.

Although Mrs. Zhuang has not officially posted with the Wu family.

However, he would not be able to hide it from someone who cared about his visits so frequently.The news of Zhang Yue's engagement to the Wu family gradually spread in Bianjing.

Although it was not specified which daughter of the Wu family it was, but all four of the Wu family's daughters were married, only the seventeenth lady who was waiting to be married was unmarried. Isn't that a logical thing?

In fact, Seventeen Niang and Ji have had several dignitaries and officials in Bianjing come to their door to propose marriage in the past two years, but the Wu family rejected them face to face, not even considering such a thing.

It has to be said that the Wu family is also a kind family. Although Zhang Yue passed the Jinshi examination before and did not know about the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Monkey, the etiquette is very clear.

There was a man who came to Wu's family to propose marriage, and he sighed for a long time after hearing this.

The name of this person is Wang Zhichen, he is the son of a famous official Wang Zhu, and his uncle is Wang Yaochen who is in power and minister of officials.

But after Wang Zhu and Wang Yaochen died of illness successively, although his wealth remained unchanged, his family background still plummeted.

Fortunately, Wang Zhichen was awarded the post of Supervisor Bo by virtue of his father's shadow.

But Wang Zhichen was ashamed of taking office as a shadowy official, so he studied at home. This time, he participated in the lock hall examination as an orderly officer and finally won the first place, and immediately participated in the palace examination.

After Wang Zhu's death, Wang Zhichen visited Wu Chong with his uncle Wang Yaochen.Wang Yaochen had intended to marry Wu Chong while he was still alive, so he brought Wang Zhichen to the Wu Mansion to meet Wu Chong.

Wu Chong expressed appreciation to Wang Zhichen.

However, after Wang Yaochen died of illness, his family plummeted, and there was no way to mention this marriage.

Wang Zhichen didn't pay attention to his studies, and when he happened to go to the temple to burn incense, he saw Shi Qiniang, and he couldn't help being astonished.

After many inquiries, Wang Zhichen found out that the other party was Wu Chong's youngest daughter, and immediately realized that the other party was the woman his uncle had intended to tell him.

Wang Zhichen felt that he was destined to wait for this life.

At this moment, he already felt that this was the only woman in his life that he would not marry, and after preparing for passing the examination, he went to the Wu Mansion to propose marriage in a splendid manner.Unexpectedly, although he passed this subject, he got ahead of others.

Wang Zhichen didn't know the inside story, so he thought it was just a marriage proposal. In fact, he could come to try it himself, but he was worried that he would lose face, so in the end he thought about it.

Wang Zhichen hadn't bothered to study in the past few days, drank too much wine, and at the same time wondered who Zhang Duzhi really was.

In addition, He Qi was also informed of this matter.

He Qi lingered in front of Wu's house all night. He had thought about meeting Wu Anshi, but it was not interesting to come to see him. Li Taijun didn't like him that day, and he didn't pretend at all, which made him fully aware that it was hopeless to climb up to Wu's house.

Especially after failing the solution test, He Qi was disheartened and lazy.

Although He Qi knew that he couldn't get a beautiful woman in this life, but he was in such a state of mind that he couldn't get it, so he wanted to say that there was something wrong with her, and even sneered, isn't she just a concubine, and he also likes it?

But now that he really knew that after Zhang Yue came to propose marriage, He Qifan couldn't help it anymore, a sense of despair emerged from the bottom of his heart.

After wandering around all night with red eyes, he originally planned to go in and make a desperate attempt to propose marriage to Wu Anshi, but in the end he went to the shop next door and spent all his money to buy a rich gift. Fan.

Wu Anshi was proud of herself, but on the surface she said: "Duzhi is a person who only knows how to read, if only he can be half as reasonable as Brother He."

He Qichang sighed: "What's the use of being reasonable? Those who can win the promotion now, if they don't use relatives, they use power, and if they don't use bribes, they use friendship. He has no mediator and no party, so he can't get promoted. I'm afraid there is no hope in this life.

Wu Anshi thought, didn't you get disqualified from the provincial examination because of bribery?Still say this.

However, Wu Anshi valued He Qi very much. He was very alert and could use him in the future.So Wu Anshi said with relief: "One moment and another, it seems that Brother He has waited for two years so what, it is purely tempered."

He Qi bowed and said: "He is so poor that Mr. Dalang will not give up. In this life, he is willing to hold the whip and pedal for Mr. Dalang."

Wu Anshi laughed out loud when he heard the words, he saw the gift He Qi gave him, and thought that it was not easy for this poor man to give such a generous gift.

Thinking of this, Wu Anshi gave He Qi a sum of money, which was more than the congratulatory gift he gave.

He Qiqian thanked him with gratitude: "Mr. Dalang, He will always remember this feeling in his heart all his life."

Wu Anshi smiled, but at this moment she saw a beautiful maid come in to serve tea and said softly: "Mr. Da Lang drinks tea."

Wu Anshi's eyes were fixed on this beautiful maid.

He Qi was contemptuous from the bottom of his heart, but at this moment he quickly got up and said, "Mr. Dalang, please leave first."

"Alright." Wu Anshi's mind was no longer on He Qi at this moment.

As soon as He Qi left, Wu Anshi said to the beautiful servant girl, "Come here and sit here."

Wu Anshi pointed to her leg.

Hearing this, the maidservant couldn't help but smile shyly.

He Qi walked out of the gate of the Wu Mansion, and glanced at the two stone lions weighing money in the hands of the gate.He Qizhi Wu Anshi's abilities are mediocre, but he likes to be big in front of others. The more respectful you are in front of him, the more you praise him, the happier he will be. people.

Thinking of Mr. Wu Dalang's complaints about Zhang Yue, He Qiman thought unwillingly, except that he was not as good as Zhang Yue in reading, how could I, He Qi, be better than him?But why is it him?
He Qizhi Zhang Yue is now the prospective son-in-law of the Wu family, no matter how much he poses to him, he will be retaliated by him, and now the only thing he can do is to help Wang Kui win the first prize and kill him for the limelight.

At this moment, Wang Kui was very depressed.

After the third provincial test, he had vowed to propose marriage to a rich family.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Fu Bi's mother died of illness, and everyone in the Fu family mourned very much. They were not happy to talk about his marriage proposal, but let's not talk about it for the time being.

Wang Kui asked the rich lady again, but the rich lady told him that although Fu Xianggong's mother was not his real grandmother, she raised her since childhood.She has to observe filial piety for three years, during which time no marriage is discussed.

After hearing this, Wang Kui thought, how can there be such a reason, although this matter is unexpected, there is no way to obey the power.

In the end, it was Fu Shaoting who came forward and told him that the rich family was in a mess right now, and his father wanted Ding You to resign, so there were still a lot of things to deal with in the officialdom, so the marriage was not discussed for the time being, until after his palace examination. discuss.

Hearing this, Wang Kui finally couldn't hold back his anger. He had been relying on the rich family before, but now that he is third in the provincial test, the other party still treats him like this.

But he didn't dare to turn against the rich family face to face, but went back and sulked himself.

To be honest, after Wang Kui won the third place in the provincial examination, there were quite a few people in Bianjing who flattered and flattered him, firstly because he got a good rank in the provincial examination, and secondly because he was the nephew of the rich minister. For the son-in-law's sake.

Before, a rich businessman bribed a fortune teller and threw another [-] yuan to say that he would be the champion in this subject, just to spend money to pave the way for him.

In addition, there are many means, and now in the streets and alleys of Bianjing, there are rumors that Wang Kui will be the champion.

Now after the palace examination, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Beijing who had a banquet for him had already lined up more than a dozen tables, waiting for the news of his high school champion.Wang Kui thought to himself, now that even a three-foot child in Bianjing knows that he is going to win the first prize, why is it that the rich family's attitude towards him has suddenly changed?
Wang Kui was puzzled for a while, and finally found out that the father of the woman he spoiled that day had come to his door, and now he was spreading news about him among his classmates.

Wang Kui was surprised, he kept his name incognito, who leaked the news?
In the end, Wang Kui thought about it and doubted Zhang Yue.

Once Zhang was more motivated, Zhang was the third in the test, and he was the first. Now Zhang is the second in the provincial test, and he is the third.

From the third in the solution test to the second in the provincial test, it is not easy.

Although Zhang Yue has outstanding literary talents, why can he overwhelm himself now?Did Zhang Yue go through the back door?
When it came to the palace examination, the two were rivals again.Therefore, he wanted to use this incident to beat himself so that he could not compete with him in the palace examination.

As for the rich family who knew about him, they must be angry with him, no wonder they put the marriage on hold.

At this time, He Qi came to him again and told him that Zhang Yue and the Wu family were talking about their marriage.

Although Wang Kui was unhappy in his heart, he said with a smile on his face: "This is really a congratulations, I'm really happy for him."

He Qi asked: "How is your marriage with the rich family?"

Wang Kui said indifferently: "It's not going well, but it's okay, I've passed the rank now, if I get the first rank in the palace examination, even if I marry a wife at the bottom of the list, how can I not have jewels and emerald ornaments, hairpins and silk flowers."

Wang Kui had a lot of thoughts about marrying a rich woman before, but now he has calmed down.

Fu Bi and Ding Wo are about to come, and hearing that Han Qi is not on good terms with him, most likely he won't fight for love, so the Fu Xianggong who resigned in this way will not help him so much.

With his status today, is he really afraid that he won't find a good relationship?
He Qidao: "Of course, as long as a man is successful and famous, why not have a wife?"

He Qi said again: "That's right, Mr. Lu has finally opened the way for you, and invited capable people from the Royal Medicine Academy to host a banquet for you in Fanlou tonight."

Wang Kui was taken aback when he heard the words: "The imperial examination is coming soon, if there is any entertainment now, I will push it as long as I can."

When Wang Quebec passed the exam before, he really spent a few days drinking and drinking, and he was also busy making friends with noble people.

Later, Guiying told him that only your pen and ink essays in the palace examination are serious, and the same is true when you do this entertainment again.

Wang Kui still listened to Guiying's words and prepared for the exam with peace of mind before the palace exam. Now he heard He Qi said that he invited someone from the Imperial Medicine Academy.

Of course Wang Kui didn't want to go.

He Qi immediately said: "Brother Junmin, you are so confused, confused."

"how you said that?"

He Qiyan said: "Where is the Imperial Medicine Institute? Apart from decocting medicine for the imperial family, it is also responsible for the printing of the test questions. This official Lu managed to draw the line and build the bridge for you. You Why don't you go if you don't go?"

Wang Kui suddenly realized that it was because of the test questions.

He Qi said in a low voice: "The imperial court's prevention of fraud is to solve the examination and save the examination, but the palace examination is not so strict. As long as the examination questions are obtained from the Royal Medicine Academy, it will take a few more days to prepare. Only then did he defeat Zhang Yue and Jiang Yan, and the number one scholar is in hand."

Wang Kui said happily, "Of course I have to go on this trip."

Wang Kui was very proud of himself, if he had the exam questions in hand, he would definitely surpass Zhang Yue and become the number one scholar in this palace exam.
