Although Chen Shihong has this thought, because he is now in an official position, it is inconvenient to go to Hailan City, so he can only let go of this thought.

Lin Duowen and Chen Shihong talked for a while, had dinner, and then went back to the academy.

After returning to the academy, after asking Chen Jingjing for peace, he went to Yin Lihua to say goodbye.

Yin Lihua asked how Chen Shihong was? Lin Duowen said that Chen Shihong was the last talent.

"I heard a lot, I was asking you about this political aspect."

"The child doesn't know this, but listening to his extraordinary conversation, the child thinks to himself, this person should be good."

"I heard a lot, there are many Confucian scholars, and they are good at talking, but when they get things done, they don't have any rules. Forget it, you don't care about these things, and you don't understand them. ”

Yin Lihua was a little disappointed, and sighed that Lin Duowen was fortunate to have no official position, otherwise he would be deceived by the officials at that time, and it would ruin Lin Quan's reputation.

Lin Duowen Nuonuo said, after staying at home for a few days, Lin Duowen went to Hailan City on the grounds of the Wenhui.

Although Lin Duowen has not been edicted and is not allowed to leave here, Chen Shihong will not play, the prefect also turns a blind eye, and the officials of the imperial court are thousands of miles away, so naturally they cannot be impeached.

Lin Duo smelled Hailan City, and immediately someone came to pick up the wind and wash the dust, these scholars can't write well in the text, the name of the subject is hopeless, and they are happy to be given words, and now they meet Lin Duowen, an uncle who loves words, is naturally entertained, and I hope that in the future, with this uncle, I can make steady progress.

Lin Duowen set up a cultural meeting on the second day of the second month of February, and also invited Cao Xixiong to come, this Cao Xixiong was humiliated by Lin Duowen the day before yesterday, and he was a little reluctant to come, but he thought that Lin Duowen was a nearby snake, if he offended him, he was afraid that it would be difficult to gain a foothold in Hailan City in the future, so he participated in the cultural meeting with his brother-in-law, Yang Ke.

This article will naturally be matched with a beauty, and this beauty is also a famous beauty in this capital.

Last time Cao Xixiong was in charge, please don't move this beauty, but now with Lin Duowen's blessing, I finally saw it.

When the beauty was toasting, Cao Xixiong asked, "I don't know the girl's name." ”

"Little Girl Worm Two."

Cao Xixiong shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, there have only been heavy nine, where did the worm two come from." ”

When the worm came here, he had already asked the maid to find out the bottom of these people, thinking that this Cao Xixiong was still the son of Hanlin, and he was so babe.

She didn't dare to offend, and said with a smile: "The name of the concubine body was given by Uncle Xinwu, and Uncle Xinwu said that the appearance of the concubine is marked, and the wind and moon are boundless, so he married the concubine with such a name." ”

Cao Xixiong came to his senses at this time, and it turned out that the word "Fengyue" was taken from the middle. (In the middle of the ancient wind is a worm word)

However, Cao Xixiong is still a veteran of this way, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, but this Chongjiu is not wrong, and the girl also happens to be in the Double Nine Year this year." ”

"Cao Gongzi is really good at talking, and he will accept your old auspicious words."

Worm Er poured wine for everyone again, and then the Wenhui began, first Lin Duowen said: "Today, we will make a wine order first, first of all, it must be related to the feast, and the sentences in the "Four Books" will be published. ”

Everyone said yes, Cao Xixiong was quite reluctant in his heart, if he wrote poems, he could make a few poems, and he couldn't even remember the sentences of the four books.

However, he is not to be outdone, he can only take one step at a time.

He didn't know that Lin Duowen didn't have much more knowledge in his stomach than him, but he could still memorize the four books.

"As the master, I ordered it in advance, and I don't know the taste of meat in March."

After Lin Duowen finished speaking, Worm Er poured a glass of wine for Lin Duowen and said to Lin Duowen: "Amitabha." ”

After Lin Duowen toasted, he said to Worm Er: "Good girl, why do you recite a Buddha name." ”

"Lin Gongzi, you don't taste meat in March, and you eat vegetarian food, so I naturally want to recite a Buddha name."

Lin Duowen smiled and said to Worm Er: "Good girl, you are exquisite. ”

Worm Er smiled, and then some of the beings said it, and some couldn't say it, so they punished themselves with three cups.

When it came to Cao Xixiong, when Cao Xixiong was in trouble, at this time the servant sent soft-shelled turtle soup, he suddenly thought of a sentence, and said: "Why is it disrespectful?" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present burst into laughter, and Lin Duowen slapped the table with a smile without grace.

At this time, Worm Er poured three glasses of wine for Lin Duowen, and Cao Xixiong said unconvinced: "Isn't there a turtle on this table?" Ladies and gentlemen, why punish me? ”

The second insect covered his mouth and smiled, and told Cao Xixiong that this sentence was not a turtle, it was a separation.

After Cao Xixiong listened, he drank the three cups with a red face, and then, after the first round was over, Lin Duowen waited for the second insect to finish pouring the wine, and said to the second insect: "Good girl, you haven't made an order yet." ”

After hearing this, the worm smiled and said, "Uncle, the little woman can't come to this Yaling, why do you always embarrass the concubine?" ”

"You are also here to attend the cultural meeting today, if you don't give the order, it will be a bit of a disappointment."

"Since the uncle has said so, the little woman can only travel for a simple order, and the same as the uncle, just say meat." Worm Er said, drank a glass of wine, and then said, "Meat is not polite." After saying that, Worm Er drank two more glasses.

Everyone knew that she deliberately learned from Cao Xixiong and said that people don't know etiquette as meat doesn't know etiquette, so they all laughed.

With the assistance of Worm Er, Wenhui was happy, and when Lin Duowen said goodbye to Cao Xixiong and Yang Ke, he told Cao Xixiong that this Cao Xixiong had returned from the capital, and he had not paid a good visit, and he was going to visit Cao Xixiong tomorrow.

Cao Xixiong naturally agreed, and when he and Yang Ke went back in the carriage, Cao Xixiong said proudly: "This Lin Duowen will also sell me some face." ”

"I'm afraid that he doesn't value your brother-in-law, but your sister-in-law."

After Cao Xixiong heard this, he groaned for a while, and said to Yang Ke: "It's not bad for my sister-in-law to marry into his family, but my sister-in-law has always been arrogant, and she doesn't marry if she is a talent." ”

"Who can be called a genius in this Canghai Mansion except for Xin Wubo? Brother-in-law, you have to make arrangements tomorrow. ”

Cao Xixiong had a calculation in his heart, nodded, and then said to Yang Ke: "This year's spring, the next year's autumn, eldest brother, I don't know if you can help me get someone to be the leader." ”

"It's not difficult to lift people, only a thousand taels of silver, but if my brother-in-law really wants to be this Xibei lifter, it is better to be a Xibei Jinshi."

"It costs a thousand taels of silver to lift people, wouldn't this Jinshi cost tens of thousands, I have these tens of thousands of taels of silver, it is better to be a peaceful man, guarding the fields and residences, isn't it much better than giving it to others."

When Yang Ke heard this, he shook his head and said, "This is your brother-in-law, you want to fork in, your ten thousand taels of silver, put it on the road, there will be a few people who will call you a master." If you keep this 10,000 taels of silver at home, there will be a few people who will look up to you. If you are a jinshi, dredge it up and make up for a county, the people of this county, who is not afraid of you, and who does not call you a master. ”

When Yang Ke said this, he whispered: "When the time comes, I will receive the paper, and I will approve ten taels of silver here, and twenty taels of silver there, and in less than a year, there will be ten thousand taels of silver." ”

For this way, the Yang family can be said to be familiar with the road, and told Cao Xixiong about the doorway, Cao Xixiong was quite moved after hearing it, and said to Yang Ke: "This person can buy it, so can Jinshi buy it?" ”

"Money can be channeled, as long as there is money, the upper and lower levels are connected, how can Jinshi not be able to buy it. Even if you take 10,000 steps back, if you really can't buy it, the silver will still be there at that time, and if it is the same now, what will it hurt you. ”

Cao Xixiong originally just wanted to buy a person to act as a façade, but when Yang Ke said so, he had this thought, so Cao Xixiong said: "In this way, those people have been studying for ten years in vain? ”

There is a sentence in these four books, why bother reading and then learning. What is said in this book is clear, but those poor people don't understand. ”

Yang Ke looked at Cao Xixiong who was puzzled, and then remembered his brother-in-law, who was not familiar with the four books, so he had to make an analogy: "Wen Changjun in this temple, brother-in-law, you often go to see it, this Wen Changjun is holding a pen in his left hand and an ingots in his right hand, what do you think it means?" If this pen can't take fame, use ingots to take it, the ancients made this statue of the god, there is a reason in it. ”

After Cao Xixiong heard this, he really suddenly became enlightened and made up his mind to buy a Jinshi, but there was a difficulty, there was not so much money left by this Hanlin. It's more than enough to buy a lifter, and to buy a jinshi, that's still a lot of debt.

Yang Ke said that he could sell these fields, and when Cao Xixiong became the magistrate of the county, it was not a matter of one sentence to want to buy the fields, if he wanted to buy them, who would dare not sell them?

Cao Xixiong thought that this was also the case, and his heart was itchy, he said that he hadn't met Yang Ke earlier, otherwise he would have been preparing for the spring festival now, and in the second half of this year, he would be able to take office and become a county magistrate.

"Brother-in-law, you are a family of gentry, different from my family, this is to talk about the doorway in the book, this official is far better than the official, but when it comes to the doorway in this officialdom, this official is far worse than the official. To put it mildly, there are so many counties in the world, which one does not rely on officials to deal with a county. ”

Cao Xixiong is not a stupid person, saying that if he is really selected, he will definitely ask Yang Ke to help deal with government affairs.

Yang Ke's purpose is this, telling Cao Xixiong that if Cao Xixiong is not willing to use ten thousand gold, he will marry his sister to Lin Duowen at that time, and wait until the inspection is opened, and let Lin Duowen help recommend, when the time comes, let alone a county, he may still be an official in China and North Korea.

Cao Xixiong shook his head and said: "To be an official above the court, it is better to be released, this day is far away, and there is something to do." "Cao Xixiong has been in the capital for a while, and he has not heard of the affairs of the imperial court.

"What my brother-in-law said is also right, if my brother-in-law orders the magistrate here."
