There is no rush about the tea seedlings.

After Yuan Bao finished going to the latrine, he washed his hands in the basin prepared outside. Baozhu followed him, and then walked back to the restaurant.

Qiao Anhao's place to eat is on the second floor near the balcony. She has a good view, which she specially chose. However, there are several boxes on the other side, and there are many people sitting in one of the boxes.

Sitting in the center is Wu Jieshi, next to him are Wu Ziqian and Wu Wanqing, and on the other side are Zheng Yiqing, Zheng Wenyuan and Zheng Yiheng.

On the walnut table and chairs in front of them was a set of books with "Shui Jing Zhu" written on the cover.

Wu Ziqian was opening one of them and looking at it, with surprise on his face, he turned his head to look at Wu Cishi and said, "Father, it really is the set of "Shui Jing Zhu"."

After speaking, she looked at Zheng Yijing in surprise: "Uncle Zheng, how did you get this set of books?"

He told his father last night, and his father said that he would find a way, but it must not be so fast. He never thought that the Zheng family would send him a set today.

Not only Wu Ziqian was surprised, but Governor Wu was also flipping through one of the books, turned his head to the man beside him and said, "Yes, Yiqing, how did you get this set of books?"

"Yesterday Ziqian told me he wanted it, but I was still wondering where to find it, so you brought it here!"

Originally, he didn't want to come to this dinner party today, after all, such a big thing happened yesterday, but thinking that Ziqian was studying in the county school and living in the Zheng family, he still brought his children over.

I didn't expect such a big surprise gift.

Zheng Yiqing smiled gently, and just as he was about to speak, Zheng Wenyuan next to him had a smug look on his face: "It's my father, a good friend of his kept a set, and asked my uncle to pick it up and give it to me this morning. Ziqian."

Zheng Yiqing glanced at her son: "Speak up!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Governor Wu: "It's just a set of books, it's nothing."

Governor Wu could see that his son liked it very much, and was very happy: "Ziqian just wanted this set of books. You really sent me a pillow when you fell asleep."

"Although a set of books is nothing, I like this gift very much."

Zheng Yiqing smiled: "Following Mr. Wu, I still have some vision."

"Ziqian has now been selected for the final round of the direct disciple of Cui Shanzhang. He heard that Cui Shanzhang has always praised this set of books. With this set of books, Ziqian must have no problem with Cui's status as a direct disciple. .”

Governor Wu smiled: "That's not true."

"Cui Laode is highly respected and has many disciples, most of whom are the mainstay of the court. If Ziqian can become his direct disciple, he will have more people of his own in the court in the future."

Zheng Yiqing said: "My lord, don't worry, with this set of books, Ziqian will definitely have no problem."

Zheng Yiheng also echoed beside him and said: "Yes, my lord, Ziqian is smart, and this time he took the county school exam and came first. As long as Mr. Cui has good eyesight, he will definitely be chosen!"

Inspector Wu smiled: "Hey, although that's what you said, but Mr. Cui is Mr. Cui, so you can talk about it like this?"

Zheng Yiheng hurriedly said: "Yiheng made a mistake."

Zheng Yiqing glanced at his son, Zheng Wenyuan pouted, although he was not convinced, he also said: "Uncle Wu, don't worry, Ziqian has always been liked by his master in the county school, and his age is suitable. Our mountain chief must like him too."

Wu Wanqing didn't have much interest in this dinner at first, until she saw "Shui Jing Zhu" before she raised her eyes. Now hearing the members of the Zheng family boasting about her younger brother, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

"No, Ziqian has loved reading since he was a child. He is the youngest in our family but the best at reading. I believe that Ziqian must be the direct disciple of Elder Cui."

Wu Ziqian accepted others' compliments, but his own sister also praised him, so he said modestly: "Don't say that my sister is so perfect, how many people are selected in the final round this time?" !"

Zheng Wenyuan said from the side: "But the others, except for Xie Jinyan, are not as good as you, so you don't have to worry."

This sentence is not as good as you except that Xie Jinyan, which made the dinner at the dinner table a little bit awkward, and Wu Ziqian's expression froze, even showing a bit of displeasure.

Zheng Yiqing sat beside her son, glanced at him, her eyes were a little sharp, and smoothed things over with a gentle smile: "It's just a mud leg, how can you compare with Ziqian?"

"Wen Yuan, stop talking nonsense."

Zheng Wenyuan realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he could only keep his mouth shut, but he didn't think so in his heart. Xie Jinyan was younger than Wu Ziqian, and he was very popular with his master. This time he lost the test paper, and his master came forward in person. The chance was very good. big.

Governor Wu raised his head and asked, "Who is Xie Jinyan?"

This time it was Wu Wanqing who answered him: "That's Qiao Anhao's son, the one who was admitted to the county school with Ziqian and was in Class A together."

Speaking of this, she frowned slightly and raised her head to look at Zheng Yiqing: "But Young Master Zheng, didn't you agree at the time, don't let that Xie Jinyan enter the final round, don't let Mr. Cui see him, why did you go in? ?”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yuanbao who was passing by the door stopped when he heard his name and these words, and turned his head to look at the box, Elder Cui, Shanzhang?

Baozhu also heard this, her expression changed, she looked up at the box, Young Master Zheng?
Is it the Zheng family in the county?
How could they mention the young master's name and the head of the county school?

The two stopped, and Zheng Yiqing frowned slightly in the room, obviously understanding the matter very well: "This matter is due to the Zheng family's incompetence. I thought that throwing away his exam papers would prevent me from passing the final round, but I didn't expect Shan The superintendent noticed that kid's test paper and asked him to take the test again."

Wu Wanqing was puzzled: "Isn't the master responsible for the examination papers?"

"It's all right, why did the head of the mountain suddenly check?"

Zheng Yiqing shook his head: "The information I've heard so far is that the head of the mountain found out about it after he met a guest. The next day, Mrs. Qiao went to the county school. I heard that young master Lu accompanied him. !"

Wu Wanqing gritted her teeth: "It's him again..."

But seeing his identity, she turned ugly: "Father, is it possible that he still knows Mr. Cui?"

How did Governor Wu know about this kind of thing?
He just thought of the Lu family's power over the government and the overwhelming wealth, and he didn't have any doubts: "With the Lu family's family background, it's not surprising to know him."
