Chapter 1178 The frightened Zhu San
This "conversation" was completely beyond Li Xuanying's imagination and beyond his cognitive scope.
He always thought that he had "profound common sense" and a lot of experience, but he never expected that he would make such an "astonishing" discovery just once by proctoring an exam.
After a night of wandering around, Li Xuanying wrote several letters, addressed to his former husband, the emperor's closeness and...
He sent several teams to Anjiu Town to find out whether what Zhu San said was true.
If it is true, then consider the follow-up; if it is false, then someone needs to "explain" the matter.
Zhu San was unaware of Li Xuanying's actions. After he threw those things away and came out of the banquet, he was blown by the cold wind and his swollen head suddenly woke up - he regretted it. He seemed to be impulsive and said a little too much...
…
He only wanted to pave the way for Zhujiacun and his mother's ideas, but he forgot that the person standing in front of him was an unfamiliar "court official". How could he ensure that the other person was a good official who would benefit the country and the people?
What if the other party is a corrupt official or has ulterior motives?
"thump--"
"thump--"
"thump--"
Cold sweat instantly ran down his back. Zhu San couldn't sit still. For the first time, he was startled. He quickly returned to Zhu's Mansion and found Ye Yuran.
"Mom, I seem to have done something stupid!"
Ye Yuran looked at Zhu San, whose face turned pale, and was startled: "What's wrong? Did you kill someone, or did you let someone sleep with you?"
"ah?"
"Ah what? What on earth is going on?"
"That's it..." Zhu San was confused and didn't realize what Ye Yuran was talking about, so he simply explained what happened.
He emphasized that he said a lot of "shocking" things. If the academic scholar is a good official, that's fine, but if he is...
That's bad!
For them, it is definitely a fatal disaster.
At this time, he regretted it very much. If he had known that an adult would talk to him, he would not have drank so much.
Unexpectedly, he never missed anything. After drinking this wine, it reflected his mood at that time. He was a little forgetful for a while, but he said too much.
Ye Yuran breathed a sigh of relief: "It scared me to death. I thought you killed someone or let someone sleep with you. It turns out that this is the case... It's okay. Just say it. No matter how shocking the world is, you still said it."
, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come to cover it, and you will know when the time comes."
"Mom, what are you talking about? Why do you miss me so much?" Zhu San frowned, not knowing how his mother could think of those things.
Ye Yuran spread his hands with a look of helplessness on his face: "You can't blame me. If you suddenly ran back like that, then I can only deal with the worst case scenario. For example, you accidentally killed someone and was caught in the act; or something happened.
The little girl saw that you were handsome, so she used tricks to frame you, hoping that your daughter-in-law would ask her to come down... In the former case, our family has no help for the time being, and I don’t know who to ask for help; in the latter case, I would be very worried whether you change your wife or not.
Difficult."
Zhu San was speechless, but after being fucked like this by his mother, he was not so nervous anymore.
Since his mother is still in the mood to "talk nonsense", it means that this matter is not particularly serious, right?
However, he is still a little worried, what if the scholar...
"What's the 'just in case'? How many officials who can sit in that position are simple? No matter what official he is, there are only two reasons why he wants to attack us. One is that we block his way, and the other is that
We have touched his interests. What do you think we have done now?" Ye Yuran was very calm. There was nothing disrespectful to the royal family or the court in the words Zhu San said. He just regarded the academic master as a scholar.
He became a "good official" and wanted to pave the way for Zhujiacun's special situation, so he revealed something in advance.
Those things are said to be "shocking", but if you really think about it, they are not a guarantee of "hitting the target with one hit".
After all, Ye Yuran had been careful from the beginning, never recognizing the Zhu family as "businessmen" and never stopping attaching importance to and developing agriculture and education.
Now when you walk into Zhujia Village, you will definitely find that every household has a "scholar", but this "student" is still relatively young.
"It doesn't matter even if he isn't...?" Zhu San confirmed.
Sometimes people are like this, "I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain." No matter how smart Zhu San is, there are times when he is "blinded by a leaf."
Ye Yuran was very sure: "Even if there is a relationship, it is not now. Instead of worrying about this, you should worry about the college entrance examination in August. If you can pass the examination in August, then you will be able to become an official."
Speaking of recommending people, Zhu San remembered one thing, that is, when he finished talking to Master Xuezheng, they also told him to prepare well for the college examination in August. If he can pass, Master Xuezheng is willing to recommend him.
He is an official.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Ye Yuran blinked. She originally meant to comfort Zhu San, but she didn't expect that Master Xuezheng actually made such a guarantee. She said, "Besides, don't you think, since the other party
With this idea, no matter what kind of person he is, at least judging from the current situation, he values you very much and wants to pull you into his boat. In other words, you are safe for now.
"
Obviously, Zhu San also reacted. He stroked his forehead and felt that he had just stepped into a corner and actually scared himself.
Unexpectedly, someone who he thought was so smart could actually have...
Ye Yuran saw it and patted his shoulder with relief: "A horse may stumble, a man may make a mistake, it doesn't matter, and you don't need to worry too much about it. I think you should have been forced by the recent exam.
You're so nervous, and the banquet for college entrance examination is held so suddenly. It's the first time you've been called over by such a big official to speak, and you're not prepared at all... To put it bluntly, you're just scared by him."
Recalling the time when he and the academic master asked him to come over to talk, Zhu San had to admit that he was indeed a little scared.
It seemed that he calmly answered the "questions" and "challenges" of the academic master, but in fact he was a little panicked. He was always worried that what he said was not good enough or comprehensive enough, and the other party would take advantage of him and deal with it.
Unexpectedly, because I was too cautious, I exposed a lot of things, and then got into trouble...
"If you are still worried, you can talk to Mr. Xu tomorrow, and your seventh brother, He An, and the others will also talk together." Ye Yuran gave him an idea and said, "Mr. Xu is very knowledgeable.
Guang, he should know more than you; and He'an, he has connections in the capital, and if he is reliable here, you might have to tie him up."
Isn't that right? In this provincial examination, the examiners' preferences were provided by Mr. Xu, Yan and An. Obviously they knew more about officials than he did.
Yan He'an and Zhu Qi were classmates, and they were half "classmates" with Zhu San. When the Zhu family first arrived in Pushou City, they lived with Yan He'an and were almost tied to the same boat with him.
If Zhu San and Zhu Qi can pass the college examination, no matter whether they do the exams with Yan and An, and then go to Beijing to participate in the Jinshi, as long as they can pass the exam, they will definitely not be able to escape Yan and An's connections in the future.
Regardless of whether Yan and An are willing or not, they have benefited from Yan and An for so many years. As long as Yan and An encounter something that they can help with, it is impossible for the Zhu family not to intervene.
