Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 33
Zhang Zhe looked at Huo Bingcheng with a sense of comprehension: "Brother Jiyuan, from your words, it is clear that you are not optimistic about Li Yulou's talent and learning, could it be?"

Huo Bingcheng said quietly: "Your brother is right and wrong. In terms of talent and learning alone, Zhou Ziying is indeed above Li Yulou. But Li Yulou is not a simple person. Brother Wei has always suspected that when he designed the Zhou banquet back then, There is this person's hand and tail in it. In addition, this person has always been impeccable in his work, and he has never done anything uncertain, but this time he was invited by the government to come to face Zhou Zi. If there is nothing in it, It must be unreasonable.”

"Song Jiaxu didn't eat vegetarian food and recite Buddhism, how could Li Yulou be allowed to do something like that? Brother Jiyuan is probably worrying too much."

"Brother Xian looks like he just wants to stay out of the matter, I think he has already guessed what he is asking for."

"Brother Jiyuan, I'm afraid it's difficult for some strong people to ask for this request. If you write some poems, you can still believe it for a while, but this kind of sage's learning is really not on the table."

"Before you believe me, don't be in a hurry to decline, let me let you finish the matter," Huo Bingcheng comforted Zhang Zhe, and immediately revealed another secret.

"Although the system of this dynasty is different from that of the previous dynasty, the affairs of students from all over the country are entrusted to the school officials. The local parents do not directly participate in it, but there is a saying that one is honored and the other is humiliated. Especially in this county, Ge County respect and My father and Han Jiaoyu have been together for more than ten years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are best friends. And Ge Xianzun's classmate and senior brother are Lin Tongpan, who was sent by Inspector He to mediate in the county this time."

"In this way, all the honorables in the county are leaning against the provincial observer, so what are you worried about?" Zhang Zhe relaxed, and was about to drink tea, but the cup froze in the air the next moment.

Zhang Zhe shook his head, he already understood the concerns of the county, he couldn't drink this tea anymore.

The several people in power in the county are all members of the He Observer, and Taolin County is particularly prominent among the seven counties in the prefecture, so no matter which of Zhou and Li gets the head of the case, they will be more or less involved The attitude of the observation envoy of China and Hebei Province in Shang Province has caused unnecessary misunderstandings, especially the position of Lin Tongpian who came to mediate will become extremely embarrassing.

So neither Zhou nor Li can come to take the lead in this case!

However, Zhou Ziying is the head of the county's talent and learning, and although Li Yulou is slightly inferior, he is good at planning, and it is still unclear who will win the battle between the two.

There were only two people in the county who were bright and bright for a while.Even if the county wants to find another person to point the case, I am afraid that it will attract doubts from many parties, and it will not be able to suppress the crowd.In case the good guy doesn't sell well by then, it will secretly offend both parties.

Therefore, they took a fancy to Zhang Xinzhi, who had become famous in the county during this period.Zhang Zhe even guessed that as long as his article is passable, the case must be his own.

In addition, except for the necessary Mo Yi in Tong's examination, poetry and essays are all within the testable range, so the big topic that Han Jiaoyu asked must be poetry.

Considering Huo Bingcheng's face, Zhang Zhe didn't immediately refuse, but waited for a while before shaking his head resolutely, even with ready-made excuses: "Brother Jiyuan, forgive me, I really can't agree to this matter. The Yue family is in trouble and is about to move far away." In the northwest, I don’t know how many things are going to happen at home. How can Xinzhi have the time to take this test? Besides, brother, have you never heard of the incident that the younger brother burned all the manuscripts at home in a gambling fight a few years ago? Haven’t read the words of the sage for many years , how can there be a meaningful article on this matter?"

Hearing Zhang Zhe's refusal, Huo Bingcheng laughed instead: "My father and others have already expected the concerns of the letter. If the younger brother takes the lead in this case, then the matter of the Meng family may not be able to turn around one or two. Neighboring province Bashanxi Daoxijiang County and Xilu Country are across the mountain, so it seems to be considered as the upper county."

Zhang Zhe didn't believe it. It wasn't that he looked down on County Magistrate Ge, but that the county couldn't intervene much in this matter, and might offend the Song family.

Unless..., Zhang Zhe immediately thought of someone.Only this person has this ability and face, and if this person does this, not only will he not offend both parties, but on the contrary, he will make both parties think of him well.

That's Lin Tongjue!

Xijiang County, Zhang Zhe has heard people say, it is a big county in the neighboring province that is not weaker than Wuling.

The Meng family, Meng Xiaowan?Zhang Zhe was fascinated for a moment.

With something on his mind, Zhang Zhe felt a little unappreciated during the meal at Youkeju.He never thought about taking part in any scientific examinations in the past. Although he didn't write stereotyped essays, he really didn't want to embark on this path.

When he came to this world, the biggest surprises for him were the pastoral and poetry, the beautiful little wife he heard from across the wall, and the Sanchi family who were like family members.

His biggest dream before was to buy more than [-] acres of land in Taowan, and then to tease and provoke his high-spirited and arrogant wife in his daily life.

Zhang Zhe hesitated between his life choice and Meng Xiaowan's fate choice.It wasn't because he was indifferent, or because he was a little displeased with Meng Xiaowan's cold treatment of her husband.After all, it was because he really didn't have much confidence in participating in the scientific examination.If she doesn't get the case at that time, she is afraid that Meng Xiaowan will mistakenly think that she didn't pay attention to the test, and plant a thorn between the two of them from now on.

"I regret that I pretended to be aggressive in front of my little wife!" On the return trip, Zhang Zhe was on the bow alone, with a wicker box at his feet, which contained gifts from "Brother Jiyuan" - a total of 26 books !

"Forget it," Zhang Zhe thought for a while, and finally decided to have an open and honest talk with Meng Xiaowan.It's just that the tone and words must be carefully considered. The female school bully Jia Wenqing has the most sensitive mind. If his wife mistakenly thinks that he is being held hostage by this matter, it will be very bad.

However, would Meng Xiaowan believe that she doesn't have much talent?

Feeling uneasy, the black-padded boat docked under the moonlight, where it had been waiting for a long time, Sanqi jumped aboard the boat.

"What good things did Lang Jun bring?" He joyfully picked up the willow box at Zhang Zhe's feet, and shook it gently.

"It's just some books, not food."

Originally Zhang Zhe thought that Sanqi would be greatly disappointed, but unexpectedly Sanqi trembled nervously, tightly hugging the willow box, with an overjoyed look on his face.

"My family finally has its own book again!"

"Could it be that Sanqi also reads?"

"Lang Jun teased me again. The words I know are all taught by him himself, but this time he won't use these treasures to gamble, right? Last time we were tricked by Huang Hu'er to win us." , ruined the whole family's books, and my mother cried secretly for more than half a year."

Zhang Zhe secretly sighed in his heart, if Sanqi and the others knew that these books came into his hands because of a gambling battle involving the entire Wuling County, what would they think?

After walking two steps, Zhang Zhe suddenly turned his head to look at another road. There were faint lights and sounds coming from there. That road was a small road leading from Zhang's small courtyard to the village. It was so late, who was still making noise there? ?
