Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 20
A large group surrounded Jia's mother and left Rongxi Hall. Jia Zheng sighed and remembered his mother's expression and eyes just now.

Unconsciously, he called the servants and asked them to go to the street to inquire about Shi Zhongkui's specific news.

Soon the nickname of Stone Nervous not only spread throughout the capital, but even the inner houses of Jia's mansion knew about it.

A group of girls and wives with different thoughts suddenly hesitated.

But Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng suspected in their hearts that Shi Zhongkui was probably playing stupid before.

Then the news that Shi Zhongkui had 20 excellent ancient fans in his hand reached Jia She's ears without accident.

It's a pity that Jia Amnesty asked the boy to look for him, but said that no one in the neighborhood knew where Shi Zhongkui had gone.

Moreover, the time is not right at this time, Jia Yucun is still the magistrate of Yingtian, and has no chance to target Shi Zhongkui in order to please Jia Amnesty.

After a few days, Jia Amnesty finally learned from several students on the day when the rankings were announced that Shi Zhongkui seemed to be returning to his ancestral home in Daxing to concentrate on his studies and wait for the examination.

On the same day, Jia Amnesty called his son Jia Lian to the East Wing Courtyard, and then Jia Lian took 20 taels of silver and led a few servants on horseback all the way to Daxing County to find it.

Before he got on his horse after leaving the back gate of Rongguo Mansion, Xue Pan came out from Lixiang Garden in the east with four or five servants.

"Second Brother Lian is going to do something?"

Jia Lian's heart was moved. Although the 20 taels of silver given by his master was indeed enough for a few days, if he couldn't find anyone for a while, the money would almost all be spent.

Not only will you not get any benefits, but you will have to eat a meal.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian hurriedly went forward to greet Xue Pan, and then said, "It's not that the old man heard that Shi Boqian had twenty good fans from his ancestors, so he insisted on asking me to find him."

Xue Pan hurriedly asked, "Second Brother Lian, did you ever find out where Shi Boqian is?"

"This,,,."

When Jia Lian heard this, he couldn't help wondering whether Xue Pan was also looking for that person?
And based on what I know about Xue Pan, although this guy is an overlord, he never tells lies.

"Brother Xue is also looking for this person?"

"Hey," Xue Pan sighed, "I don't know what my mother was thinking, she asked me to look for him the day before yesterday, but unfortunately when I came to look for him, there was no one who opened the door.

I asked several neighbors left and right, but they didn't know where the person had gone.

No, early in the morning, my mother drove me out again to look for someone. "

What Xue Pan didn't know was that it was not Aunt Xue who insisted on asking him to find someone, but Aunt Xue, after hearing Xue Baochai's words, felt that since Shi Zhongkui's family had fallen, and the imperial examinations were costly, she offered to sponsor him. thoughts.

And if the Xue family is not tempted, there will definitely be other businessmen or petty officials thinking of funding.

That being the case, the sooner you get acquainted with Shi Zhongkui, the greater the future rewards will be.

Let alone spending hundreds of taels of silver, the Xue family would be willing to spend even a few thousand taels.

From now on, Shi Zhongkui will pass all the way, and be a Jinshi in high school.

Just like Xue Baoqin's father, that is, Xue Baochai and Xue Pan's uncle, he supported Mei Hanlin when Mei Hanlin was down and down.

This is how Xue Baoqin got engaged to the son of the Mei family.

Aunt Xue thought for a moment before agreeing.

In the past, when Xue Pan's father was still there, there were the Wang family and the Jia family as backers, so Aunt Xue would not have such thoughts.

But his son Xue Pan suffered a life-threatening lawsuit in Yingtian Mansion in the south, and his family's business was not doing well day by day.

It would be logical to find an external force to help.

Dazhou Nanfang has already had an example of subsidizing scholars to take the imperial examination. Although the probability is very small, once the bet wins one, the return is quite large.

This forced Xue Pan to look for Shi Zhongkui.

Jia Lian laughed as soon as he heard it, just in time to catch someone who was taken advantage of, "If brother Xue is interested, then he can go to Daxing County with brother Wei."

After hearing this, Xue Pan yelled, "A sour scholar who suffered from the plague, why did I send so many people to inquire about it, but they couldn't find it, so it turned out that he hid in Daxing County."

Then, he took Lian Er's arm, "Let's go, let's go, Brother Lian, we'll go find him right now."

Everyone left the capital and rode all the way.

Ever since Shi Zhongkui saw the list of imperial examinations posted by the state government and knew that he had won the top case again, he knew that it was impossible to continue studying and practicing at home with peace of mind.

That being the case, it is better to go to the teacher's house, or find a forest or bamboo forest in Daxing to ask Yu Honggao for advice while studying.

In my spare time, I can also take the opportunity to understand and understand how the county government handles cases and operates at this time.

What's more, Shi Zhongkui vaguely understood in his heart that he was able to test the top case. Apart from writing a good article, there should be reasons for Yu Honggao.

Or maybe Yu Honggao went to find Liu Zhongkun, the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture.

Or what method was used to let Liu Zhongkun choose him as the leader of the case.

Before being a scholar, you have to go through the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination.

It can be said that the county examination depends entirely on the views of the magistrate alone. He is the one who writes the questions and examines the papers.

He said that your article is not good, and you have no chance to appeal.

Some people who submitted the papers too early were reviewed by the county magistrate on the spot and passed directly.

The prefectural examination is similar, except that the chief examiner is replaced by the magistrate from the county magistrate.

Only when it came to the hospital examination, the chief examiner was officially presided over by a provincial school, and there were 3 or 5 examiners to review the papers together, so it was not so easy to find a relationship.

But there is no way out of this, of course, the premise is that Shi Zhongkui is really talented, otherwise no official would make fun of his own future.

He followed Uncle Fu back to Daxing County and entered the backyard of the county government. Surprisingly, it was not Yu Honggao who picked him up.

Rather, a young man who looked more than 20 years old.

"Da Lang, this is the master's eldest son, Master Tongfu."

Hearing Uncle Fu's introduction, Shi Zhongkui hastily straightened his clothes, and saluted, "Brother Daxing Shi Zhongkui, Shi Boqian met Yu senior brother."

Seeing Shi Zhongkui directly calling his senior brother, Yu Tongfu's mouth twitched.

Thinking of the attitude of his own father and mother towards Shi Zhongkui, and how harsh his parents used to treat him.

Yu Tongfu felt that his son was not treated as well as his apprentice, so he felt a little unhappy.

Fortunately, no matter how he is, he is 24 years old, has a lovely wife and two children, and he won the Juren at the age of 18. Yu Tongfu finally stabilized his mind.

Smiling and clapping his hands back, he said, "Brother Xian is definitely back."

He took Shi Zhongkui by the arm and led him to sit on the first two seats of the four chairs on the left side of the hall.

"Father has been waiting for you all morning, and after lunch at noon, there is a case in the yamen, so I have to wait for my brother.

I also hope that my brother is not to be blamed. "

Shi Zhongkui instantly felt that this cheap brother was digging a hole for him.

How can there be a master waiting for an apprentice, and then the master kisses his son, but apologizes on behalf of the father.

He got up hurriedly, saluted Tong Fu, and said, "I blame my brother for being agitated for a while, and I was delayed on the road for too long. I'm lucky if the teacher and senior brother don't blame me. How dare I be disrespectful to the teacher and senior brother."
