Chapter 10 Words

Yang Lin didn't intend to let Chu Nan go, she watched Xian'er go downstairs angrily, rolled up her sleeves, showing her fair forearm, and called, "Ah, brother-in-law, I'm not feeling well recently, you can help me too." Let me have a look. Er, is this high enough? No, can it go higher?"

Chu Nan didn't dare to answer, so he could only smile at Yang Wan'er on the other side: "Wan'er is here too? I just need to go out more, because it's not good for my health to be bored at home all day." Yang Wan was the third child in the Yang family , has been extremely intelligent since she was a child, and she has become a well-known talented woman in the capital at a young age, but she has never had much contact with Chu Nan, and when she saw her in the past, she would just nod her head or say hello, and Chu Nan couldn't figure out why she came.

Yang Wan'er bowed obediently, and said softly: "Hello, brother-in-law, I'm tired of reading, and I'll come out with my second sister to get some air."

Yang Lin gave her a reproachful look, and Yang Wan'er immediately looked at Yang Lin with eyes asking for help. Chu Nan understood a little bit, and said weakly, "Um, Wan'er is looking for me for something?"

Yang Lin curled her lips and said, "Yeah, Wan'er has something to ask you, but she didn't dare to come, so she begged me to help. We went to find you early this morning, but I didn't expect you to be away. Hmph, no Thinking of you hiding here to tease other women, I must tell my sister when I get back."

Chu Nan was afraid of this tough sister-in-law, so he pretended not to hear her, took a sip of tea, and said to Yang Wan'er, "Wan'er, since you call me brother-in-law, we are considered a family, if we have anything to say, we can help you." I will definitely help."

Yang Wan'er faltered for a long time and couldn't say anything, but Yang Lin couldn't stand it, so she slapped her bitterly, and said, "Look at your soft temper, if you get it, I'll replace it for you." Say." Turning her head, she said to Chu Nan: "My third younger sister has recently seen scholars gathered in the capital, and I plan to participate in this autumn contest, no, I brought her to you to find a solution."

Chu Nan looked at Yang Wan'er in surprise, and exclaimed: "Wan'er is so ambitious, it really is a woman who doesn't give way to a man."

Yang Wan'er lowered her head shyly, and said softly: "I don't know if I was fascinated, but this idea suddenly came up, and then I kept thinking about it."

Chu Nan was a little confused: "Since the founding of Daliang, although there have been precedents for women to take part in the imperial examination, the system was not perfect at that time, and the imperial court didn't care much about the imperial examination. Now that Daliang is becoming more and more stable, it is also the time for employing people, and I want to check it." It’s also extremely strict, and it’s not easy if you want to get away with it.”

Yang Wan'er looked gloomy and said: "Wan'er also heard that His Majesty ordered Bachelor Wang and Master Su to be the chief and deputy examiners of this scientific examination. He must be planning to select some pillars from among the many scholars. There are also many scholars from all over the world. I went for the two Grand Scholars, after all, only those who pass the exam are regarded as the disciples of the two Grand Scholars, Wan'er has always envied sister Chu Yue to worship under the disciples of Grand Scholars Wang, so..."

Yang Lin said dissatisfiedly: "Brother-in-law, since we are here to find you, why do you still trust me like this? I've already secured a ticket for you, so hurry up and give me an answer. I'm too lazy to listen to such nonsense."

Chu Nan smiled wryly, what guarantee are you making for me, my surname is neither Wang nor Su.She lowered her head and thought for a while, then said to Yang Wan'er: "Don't be disappointed, Wan'er, this matter is not difficult. It's just to deceive people, you'd better dress up as a man, University scholar Su is the most rigid, and he always dislikes me. Go and ask Grand Master Wang to get you through the joints and get a fake identity. Well, three days, I will give you a letter of approval within three days."

Yang Wan'er came here to seek help from Chu Nan, except that she wanted to be a dead horse doctor, most of it was because of Yang Lin's stubbornness. Seeing that things were really interesting, she couldn't help but said happily: "Really, brother-in-law? Are you really Are you sure? I heard that Master Wang is also stern and not favoritism." The latter sentence clearly shows that he does not believe that Chu Nan can persuade Wang Yangming.

Chu Nan sighed and said, "Mr. Yangming owed me favors when he was a teacher in my house in the early years. I'm at least [-]% certain that I will go this time."

Yang Wan'er said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry brother-in-law, I didn't mean that. Well, it's settled like this, brother-in-law, please, I will wear men's clothes when the time comes."

Yang Lin giggled and said, "Pretending to be a man? I'm good at this, so let me cover it."

Chu Nan quickly waved his hand and advised, "Don't make any more trouble, okay? Even a technically blind person like you can recognize you as a Xibei product, but in the past, others were concerned about your lack of face."

Yang Lin jumped up angrily, scratched at Chu Nan, and said angrily, "Is he as miserable as you say? You can't tell!"

In front of Yang Wan'er, Chu Nan didn't want to get too close to Yang Lin, so he stretched out his hand and patted Yang Lin away, and said seriously: "Stop making trouble, did you remember to take off your earrings when you pretended to be a man? Did you remember to cover your Adam's apple? Did you remember to wash it off? The rouge on her face? This time the matter is of great importance, and I will personally help Wan'er put on makeup, and if something goes wrong, it will not be a trivial matter."

Seeing that Chu Nan said it seriously, Yang Lin didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, she wrung her fingers and sulked, but Yang Wan'er looked at Chu Nan with bright eyes, and said with a smile: "Second sister really is right, brother-in-law is really deep An expert who can't hide."

Chu Nan glanced at Yang Lin, sneered and said, "Don't be stupid, there are so many outsiders. Don't listen to her nonsense."

Yang Lin snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "It's really hypocritical, Amber who waited on grandpa told me, I don't believe that Amber would lie to me."

Chu Nan didn't go to see Yang Lin, and said to Yang Wan'er: "I know Wan'er's knowledge is not shallow, but the imperial examination is not as good as you girls' singing and dancing in ordinary times, it's best to find a familiar scholar to ask for advice. The rules are of great benefit."

Yang Wan'er was very conceited, she just said indifferently: "Thank you brother-in-law, Wan'er made a note of it."

Chu Nan couldn't see Yang Wan'er's dissatisfaction in her heart, it's just that some passers-by had to go through it by themselves, especially the eldest lady like Yang Wan'er who was raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child, she didn't bother to talk much, chatted with the two sisters, Seeing more and more scholars around them peeping at the three of them openly and secretly, they said hello to Xian'er, dropped a piece of silver and went downstairs.

The celebrity Wang Yangming in front of the emperor today is a well-known scholar in the world, a well-known capable minister, and the most important civil servant in the court. He usually follows the emperor to participate in politics at this time, but today Yangming Mr. is unwell and is recuperating at home.Those well-informed scholars took this opportunity to visit the palace, but except for a few well-known scholars and a few fellow villagers of Mr. Yangming, they were all blocked from the door, allowing those scholars to pester them in every possible way. The servants just won't let them in.With great difficulty, Chu Nan squeezed his way to the front of the crowd, pulled Wang Yangming's former bookboy and current housekeeper Xu Yunwen, and said, "Butler Xu, is your lord here? I have something to do with your lord, let me in quickly."

Xu Yunwen was no longer the conscientious little book boy back then, his face sank when he saw someone teasing him, and when he saw that it was Chu Nan, he smiled wryly and waved his hand to let the servant let him go, the friendship between his lord and the young man in front of him is very deep Ah, he didn't dare to say: "Young master Chu is trembling, I am not, but your lord is at home, I will order someone to take you in."

The many scholars who were making noise around them became even more emotional when they saw the housekeeper let another person in, and shouted loudly: "Didn't you say that the master has not seen any guests? Why did you let him in again? I want to go in, I want to go in too." Enter!"

Xu Yunwen had a headache even more, and began to explain earnestly again, who knew that those scholars became more excited as they talked, and began to squeeze in slowly.

Chu Nan was overwhelmed by the yelling of those scholars, so he pulled Xu Yunwen to his side, pointed at the scholars, and said, "Can't you think of a way to drive them away? What's the point of letting them block the door."

Butler Xu wiped the sweat off his face, smiled wryly and said, "You think I don't want to, but there's really no way to get rid of it. I've said everything I said and didn't persuade anyone to leave."

Chu Nan looked at him contemptuously, and said, "Isn't there a powerful nurse at home? Call a few, and knock down these weak-handed scholars, stuff them into a carriage and transport them outside the city. "

Steward Xu was sweating even more, and he grinned and said: "You don't know, since these people dare to come to see Mr., most of them are well-known scholars from all over the world, no matter what, they can't be beaten. Take a look, then It's Young Master Qi Mengchang from the Qi family in Shandong, that is the second son of the Shanxi Dao Observer, and that..."

Chu Nan spread his hands and muttered: "Why don't I know anyone? Forget it, let them make me upset. Master, let me drive them away for you."

Chu Nan walked up to the crowd and shouted "Shut up", but it was with the kung fu of a Buddhist lion's roar, which directly shook the head of Butler Xu who was beside him, and the crowd fell silent in an instant.

When everyone came to their senses and saw that it was the person who was put in earlier, someone boldly said, "Why can you go in and we can't go in?"

Chu Nan gave the man a cold look, and snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, you are still scholars, and those sages' books have been read into the dog's stomach? Tell me, which sage taught you to behave like this? I’m not afraid of embarrassing readers.”

A person came out of the crowd, bowed to Chu Nan, and said loudly: "Students have admired Mr. Yangming for a long time, and they have traveled for three months just to ask him for advice. Today, he heard that Mr. Yangming is not feeling well, so he came here specially to say hello. And ask Mr. Nengde for advice, this brother, please don't misunderstand me."

There was a voice of agreement from the crowd, and Chu Nan said disdainfully: "Yi Shui's bullshit logic. According to what you said, Mr. is not related to you, and it is entirely up to him to give advice. You block the door and make trouble, but Is it wrong to force him to give advice to you? This is one. Second, as you said, Mr. Wang is not feeling well, and you are making such noise. How can he recover from his illness? His illness is taken care of by his family doctor What does it have to do with you? Why do you need your greetings? Thirdly, you are so eager to see Mr. Wang, most likely because you hope to use his reputation to get a good future, and call it advice. Hmph, Confucius has a saying How to say it, a gentleman and a sick husband say that he must do it if he wants it, please teach me how to explain it."

However, Chu Nan underestimated the thickness of those people's skins, and saw them refute Chu Nan's words one by one by citing scriptures at the top of their voices, forcing Chu Nan to shock them with a lion's roar, and said impatiently: "With you guys! This kind of stupid scholar's reasoning makes my head twitch. Butler Xu, open the door and let the servants get out of the way, let Mr. Wang look at the appearance of these saint's children, and see if he will vomit blood with anger. "

Those scholars pestered the housekeeper and servant, but no one really dared to bother Wang Yangming rashly without knowing the etiquette.Seeing that those people hesitated for a long time and no one dared to go in, Chu Nan said softly: "That's right. That's it, since you are talented, you must bring your favorite works with you, forget it for me, and I will replace it for you." Hand it in, don't worry, sir will definitely read it."

Those scholars, Zi Nai, handed over their poems as they said, and after a while, Chu Nan's arms were full of rice paper manuscripts.A scholar handed over his poem, glanced at Chu Nan and muttered, "What is your relationship with Mr.? Why do you have such preferential treatment?"

Chu Nan sorted out the manuscripts in his arms, and snorted coldly: "I once went to brothels with Master Wang, what do you think we are related to each other?"
