Chapter 171 Explaining the unbearable loneliness of the gentry’s brothel

Chapter 171: Understanding the unbearable loneliness of the gentry’s brothel

It can be said that the upcoming provincial examination has caused a lot of students to start studying internally without making any noise.

After the students who were involved in the internal affairs gradually came to the fore, a number of officials and aristocratic families also became involved.

After all, how can you grab good students without taking the exam?

No one is stupid. If your family doesn’t show sincerity, why should we have anything to do with your family?

So, roll it up!

If your family marries a daughter from a side branch, my family will marry a legitimate daughter;

If your family gives you a dowry, my family will give you a thousand acres of fertile land...

It can be said that, due to the "special situation" this year, the rankings were advanced by more than one and a half points, which was originally only available after the provincial examination or even the palace examination.

Any family that wants to find a suitable husband for their family will try their best.

Have no idea!

I don’t know who started the trouble first, but once someone takes the initiative, how can others sit back and watch.

After all, there are only a few who are truly top-notch. If they are chosen by others, what will they choose?

Therefore, everyone was forced to start involution.

However, no matter how you roll it, it’s really just that.

What big movement can really be made?

impossible!

Although this year's candidates may be a little more confident, how many of those who make it to the top are fools?

Yes, the risk of taking the exam this year is indeed a bit higher.

There is an elusive Mr. Hu, and no one can be sure what questions will be asked.

It seems that the future of many people has been invisibly clouded.

But in fact, what can these people do even if they fail in this subject?

The ink in their stomachs won’t escape!

Not only will their abilities not fade away, but they will become more profound as time goes by.

Therefore, they had already expected this, how could they decide their life-long events just because of this trivial matter?

Although the old saying goes that men are afraid of entering the wrong profession and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.

But in fact, any smart person or scholar who is interested in taking the imperial examination to achieve a class jump is extremely cautious about his marriage.

To put it bluntly, these four words, "well-matched", convey too much reality.

And just when the candidates were either busy thinking about the test questions or thinking about how to choose a pretty girl.

Xie Jin, who was also preparing to take the provincial examination this year, had already laid down early.

roll?

No need!

He, Jie Jinjie Dashen, was just a child who was asked by his father to participate in the imperial examination and get a taste of it.

Now that the boy test has been passed, the purpose has been accomplished!

effort?

What a waste of effort!

He will definitely take part in the provincial examination anyway.

But prepare, answer questions, and review?

No need!

Anyway, just taking a trip and trying the taste is enough to show off to the old father.

Nothing else!

After all, if you pass the exam again, you will have to become an official.

And his father didn't want him to enter officialdom early.

After all, the current Mr. Jie Jinjie is only fifteen years old.

No matter how precocious it is, in the officialdom where there is strife with each other, it is much more complicated than in the examination room.

If he plunged in accidentally and without thinking, even the bones would not be intact.

Therefore, regardless of whether it was him or his father, he had only one purpose for taking the provincial examination.

Enjoy it!

It means just taste the saltiness and savor the taste!

Nothing else is necessary!

Then... Mr. Xie Dashen got bored.

Mom, it’s really easy to live without reading or reviewing, but it’s also boring.

I don’t know what to do. Simply, I strolled around, pocketed some money and went out.

He seemed to be walking aimlessly, but when he heard someone greeting him and calling his name loudly, he looked up again.

Oops, Zui Feng Tower!

Oh my god, it's all my own fault.

This is just these two legs wandering around. Otherwise, why would we be here in a daze?

Forget it, no matter how you say it, it’s here.

It just so happened that I was hungry and my mouth was a little dry.

Then... it must be okay to have something to eat and drink!

Immediately, Mr. Xie once again sat in the box that he was accustomed to in the past, with two familiar beauties leaning against him.

Tea, wine, food, pastries...

The things he was most familiar with were brought over from the kitchen like water.

Hugging him from left to right and drinking wine down his throat, the sadness on Mr. Xie's face became more intense.

Ugh……

The bitter wine is hard to swallow!

It is really yesterday's flower now, the old friend is not here!

It would be lively if Brother Chen Jinnan and Brother Fang Xiaoru were here at this moment.

It's a pity that I'm the only one!

Mr. Jie, who was drinking bitter wine and holding the girl in his arms, was mumbling, but it didn't stop him from working around with his hands at all.

It wasn't until someone reminded him that curfew was coming soon that he staggered over to pay the bill.

He could live here on weekdays, a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold.

But not today. His father's instructions to him recently were to keep a low profile.

Therefore, the old housekeeper at home is keeping an eye on things like staying out at night and will not allow it at all.

Miserable!

It was obvious that I was leaning against the red and green just now, but now I have to go home alone in misery.

Walking on the street, when the cold wind blew, Xie Jin smacked his lips and began to feel something was wrong.

No!

No matter how you say it, I, Xie Jin, am a child prodigy with a good family background.

Why can’t someone like Chen Jinnan and Brother Chen, who has been around for so long, not be able to get a girl to fall in love with him?

Look at yourself, even if you have a drink, you still have to pay for it.

When Brother Chen came, the Madam Runniang had arranged everything so that she didn't want Brother Chen at all.

Tsk tsk, both are scholars, this difference is too big.

It seems like I have to find time to ask Brother Chen for advice.

Otherwise, this trip to the brothel will have to end sooner or later!

And while Xie Jin was still thinking about the brothel, Mr. Hu here was gritting his teeth and planning to make a big move for the candidates.

Don't blame Mr. Hu for being upset.

He originally wanted to just lie down, close his house, and cut off all contacts, even at the cost of damaging his own reputation!

As a result, when I looked back, I saw that my status was getting higher and higher!

The current situation could be settled, but the rising momentum had to be stopped no matter what.

Otherwise, how can we keep a low profile in the future?

Don't say anything else, just talk about his future identity.

He is not only the former prime minister, but also the uncle-in-law of Prince Zhu Biao!

At the same time, Mr. Hu also presided over the imperial examination and was actually the tutor of this year's candidates.

If this was not enough, he also presided over the tribute of Fan Bang, suppressed Fan Bang's arrogance, and improved Ming's status among Fan Bang.

These piles were put together one by one, and he was really worried now.

Could it be that even the merit of offering potatoes could not stop Zhu Yuanzhang from being suspicious?

What if Lao Zhu still can’t get over it and insists on messing with him?
