Chapter 408, Xu Wei's Small Abacus

"Well, this is not a small matter! Come on, let's go to your father to discuss it!"

Xu Wei shook his hand and said: "Little nephew is like this, he doesn't dare to see his father. 【】Besides, my father already knows about this matter."

"Well!" Xu Shijie nodded and said: "Okay then. You can study at ease, your father will naturally deal with anything. If you have any troubles here, you might as well tell Uncle Third, maybe It may not be easier to deal with Uncle San."

Xu Wei pulled Xu Shijie away and said, "I really have one thing to ask my third uncle!"

"Do you want money?" Xu Shijie guessed seven or eight points from Xu Wei's appearance.However, he knew that Xu Wei's money was not spent indiscriminately, but was spent on the right place.If it wasn't for the eldest brother who has always kept Xu Wei tight, Xu Wei would not ask himself for money.

"Yeah!" Xu Wei nodded to confirm the third uncle's guess, and then said with a chuckle: "However, this time I want more. 300 taels."

When Xu Shijie heard that the price was 300 taels, he gave Xu Wei a serious look. Seeing that Xu Weishen was not joking, he couldn't help but ponder for a while before saying, "300 taels is a lot! I'm afraid the big brother of the ward will have to say something about it!"

"No, my dear third uncle! Give it if you can, and think of another way if you don't give it to my nephew. Don't tell father."

"What else can you think of?"

"There is always a way to think of it. At worst, take the antiques in my house to the West Market and sell them, and I will always get the money." Xu Wei seemed to have made a lot of determination.

Xu Shijie smiled slightly and said, "300 taels is nothing to third uncle! With our Xu family's family status, even if you do things with 3000 taels or 3 taels, it's not a big deal. The reason why your father restrained you was just that he didn't want you to learn those nonsense playfulness like the children of other aristocratic families. However, you are not that kind of child, so as long as you speak, Third Uncle will never restrain you again. How about this, you don't have to waste those things in your room anymore, you can spend the money with third uncle."

Xu Wei said happily: "If you want to say, it's better to be third uncle!"

"However, you have to tell Third Uncle, what are you using the money for!"

Xu Wei pondered for a while before he smiled and said, "My nephew is doing something big! If this thing is done, then father won't have to worry about the imperial examination. As for more specific matters, third uncle still Stop asking."

Xu Shijie's heart skipped a beat, but he slowly hid the doubts in his heart, and just said softly: "You are not young anymore. It is good to have the courage to do some things. However, before doing things, you must also think about whether to do it or not." Success, is there a need to do it yourself? If you don’t think about success, think about failure first. We can avoid things that will burn us if we can.”

"Yes! My nephew understands." Xu Wei knew that his third uncle had a lot of experience, so he was the most cautious.It is estimated that the third uncle guessed something, otherwise he would not have asked him so.

After sending the third uncle to the door, Xu Wei went back to his yard and thought about it alone.

The big thing that Xu Wei said was naturally to instigate Jinling to protest!

The imperial court attaches great importance to the selection of scholars, if all the candidates jump up against Su San as the chief examiner, even the arbitrary emperor of Qiankun will have to reconsider.Besides, he didn't believe it, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were so willing to let Su San get the limelight?

Don't Su San be promoted to the chief inspector of the Nine Gates, what a sight; behind the scenes, I don't know how many people have blocked the way and been hated by many people.The more Su Sanyue was in the limelight, the faster his downfall would be.If you are not an official, you will not understand the difficulties of being an official. In fact, being an official is not so easy to do.It is impossible to be a high-ranking official with a weak foundation, no foundation, and no one's popularity.

However, what Uncle San said is also very reasonable!I really need to prepare some backhands. In case something goes wrong and I am involved in this matter, and finally lose the opportunity of the scientific examination because of this, the loss outweighs the gain.

No way, Li Shu and Shan Shijie can only charge forward in this matter.Li Shu is hating Su San now, and there is no possibility of getting rid of this matter; Shan Shijie is a fool who can't help being provoked, and he is not afraid that he will rush to do things with his life.I heard that his family background is not very good, if he can see the actual benefits, maybe he will dare to do anything.

In the past few days when the Hanlin Academy started classes, Mr. Luo seemed to have bluntly said something about Su San's junior qualifications.It can be seen from this that the gentlemen of the Imperial Academy also complained a lot.Resentment can be used, I don't know if I can get support from the courtyard, if Qin Peisong can give some support secretly, then Li Shu and the others will definitely have the courage to make things big.

I want to point them in this direction, but I still find an excuse to withdraw quietly.Let them take all the ideas by themselves, and it's best for them to hide behind.If they succeed, I can get a share of the credit; if they fail, I can completely stay out of it.

Yes, that's it!

Secretly making up his mind, Xu Wei called for the housekeeper Wang Chong, gave him some instructions, and then quietly went out the door.First went to Yinzhuang to pay 300 taels of silver, then went to the restaurant to reserve a private room, and asked two young men to call Li Shu and Shan Shijie over in the name of discussing matters.

Everyone just broke up in the afternoon, and Li Shu and Shan Shijie didn't know why Xu Wei called them out again.After drinking for a while, he asked Xu Wei this question.

Xu Wei was waiting for the two of them to ask, and when he saw the question, he said seriously: "Huanzhi has thought about the matter discussed in the afternoon. Huanzhi thinks that if we want to do it, we should go to Dali. Small troubles, I'm afraid it won't be of much use. "

Li Shuying said: "How to do it in Dali? Besides petitioning, the only thing left is to pass the exam!"

After hearing this, Xu Wei responded vaguely: "It's not impossible!"

Li Shu was taken aback and said: "If it's done like this, it's really a big deal. It's really done, but it's okay to say, if it doesn't work, it will take a lot of responsibilities."

Shan Shijie said: "What are you afraid of? We have already contacted more than 100 people. When the time comes, as long as we raise our arms and kneel in the courtyard the night before the exam, the court will give us an explanation. This time we prepared more carefully and adequately, even Qin Peisong has nothing to do with us."

"But!" Li Shu hesitated!

It's one thing to bring people who are dissatisfied with Su San together to petition; it's another thing to organize a strike against Su San.If you fail to pass the exam, the organizer will be responsible; even if you fail the exam, there is no guarantee that the organizer will not be responsible.

Xu Wei glanced at Li Shu, knowing that Li Shu was born in an official family, and his brains were more sophisticated than Shan Shijie, so he hurriedly drummed while beating: "I heard that the gentlemen in the Imperial Academy are very happy to take the main examination for Su San. Dissatisfied. You must know that in the past, the position of chief examiner was the head of the Hanlin Academy. Huanzhi thought that Qin Peisong was happy with this kind of thing. He should be afraid that the matter would not be a big problem, and he would have to clean up the mess; When he grows up, he is happy to see it succeed."
