Chapter 181: Door-to-door questioning
"Seat Master!" Liu Zhixian and Master Qian shouted in unison, excited. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, the master and the slave did not talk about it tacitly, but listened more enthusiastically to the affairs of the city.
Mingzhong knew in his faith that these two really thought of who that person was! And he did not dare to declare it. I just want to have a good relationship with him, a life-saver, and I will be able to use it one day in the future.
Hey, there is no fool in the officialdom, they are all as good as ghosts. Mingzhong shook his head in confidence.
The master and the slave were just trying to extract Ming Zhongxin's words and inquire about his subsequent contact with the adult.
When he heard Ming Zhongxin's narration, the adult later came to visit him in person, and also had a meal with Ming Zhongxin, drank and talked happily, and finally warned Ming Zhongxin not to let him publish the imperial examination book again.
This is a word of care and love! Liu Zhixian understands deeply.
As an old oilman in officialdom, how could he not know the pros and cons of publishing and printing books for the imperial examination? It's just that he has been stubbornly supporting the work of education and promotion all the time, and you don't see that he has also pulled Luti to study!
This also made his eyes brighter and brighter the more he listened, and the more enthusiastic he became about Ming Zhongxin.
As for not allowing the Ming Family Bookstore to publish books for the imperial examination, although Liu Zhixian regretted a little, he could no longer brush up on the work of education.
But compared to the appreciation of that adult, this is insignificant! Therefore, Liu Zhixian also acquiesced.
When Ming Zhongxin finished talking about the matter with the adult, the two of them actually had an unfinished intention.
Of course, Ming Zhongxin did not inform them about the donation of medicine, otherwise they would have fainted if they knew that the adult might actually come to Lingxian.
After that, Ming Zhongxin selectively talked about some travels, and Liu Zhixian and Master Qian were a little lacking in interest, so Ming Zhongxin didn't say more.
Liu Zhixian also knew that he was a little out of shape, and he didn't want Ming Zhongxin to feel his philistine, so he asked Ming Zhongxin about his studies and his future plans.
Liu Zhixian encouraged him a few words of encouragement for his studies, and then served tea to the guests.
Ming Zhongxin came out of the county government and said goodbye to Master Qian.
Master Qian apologized again and again for the gaffe just now.
"Master Qian, don't say it, the student is not a person who doesn't know the fireworks in the world, and he understands it in his heart." Ming Zhongxin was honest with him.
"Good, atmospheric!" Master Qian raised his fingers and praised.
"Master Qian, the student is estimated to be busy dealing with the affairs of the family in the past two days, and I would like to invite you to gather for a moment the day after tomorrow to thank you for your continued care and care. I don't know if it's possible? ”
"That's so kind! Don't break the bank! Master Qian was so happy that he excused himself again and again like a flower.
"If you don't go to the banquet, you just look down on me, then in the future, we will return to the bridge and the road to the road, and I will stay away from you!" Ming Zhongxin changed his face and said.
Master Qian seemed to have no choice but to agree.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and went their separate ways.
Ming Zhongxin returned to the Ming Mansion, but saw that the front door was full of people.
Looking at Ming Gui who came up, Ming Zhongxin asked, "What is this?" ”
"Don't you know, after you left, waves of people arrived one after another, and now the hall can't stay!" Minggui is full of joy and authentic.
Doesn't seem to be a bad thing! Ming Zhongxin stepped into the Ming Mansion.
"Brother Ming is back!" A voice caused a frenzy, and a group of children rushed out of the hall of the Ming Mansion.
Huang Ju nodded and came out with a happy face.
"Brother Ming, your classmates have come to bother you!"
Classmate? Ming Zhongxin was a little confused.
Oh, isn't this the child who passed the school exam this time? It turns out that those who have passed the government examination can enter the county school, and those who enter the county school are not classmates?
This is coming to ask for debt! Mingzhong said with confidence.
"There's no such thing as you! I have to pay off my debt on the day I come back, it's too unkind! ”
"Pay off the debt first!" Wang Qi coaxed.
"Okay, then let me take a breath first!" Ming Zhongxin didn't have a good airway.
"I've seen all of you!" Ming Zhongxin came to the front and gave salutes one by one.
"I've seen the head of the Ming case!" Others aren't as rude as the Huang Ju trio.
Ming Zhongxin took a look, hey, what a large group of people, there must be more than fifty numbers! It is estimated that all the candidates who took the prefectural examination came.
"Fu Bo, serve tea and pastries for everyone, serve them well, don't neglect everyone!" While instructing Fu Bo, he asked everyone for their sins, "Please forgive your sins, everyone wait, I will come when I go!" ”
"Brother Ming, please." Everyone gave a deep salute.
Then he went straight to the back house.
Ming Zhongxin went back to change clothes, and asked someone to go to Mingxuan Pavilion to arrange a banquet and send it to the Ming Mansion.
When Ming Zhongxin returned to the front hall, everyone sat in the hall drinking tea and tasting pastries.
"Brother Ming, this pastry and tea are really amazing, it is estimated that your food and drink here are the best in Ling County!" Huang Ju exclaimed to Ming Zhongxin.
"Even if you pat yourself on the back, I won't give you more!"
Looking at Huang Ju's embarrassed expression, everyone burst into laughter.
"Look, I'll just say it! Brother Ming, how can he be a sycophant who can be stunned, he should ask seriously! Yes, Brother Ming! Li Tingmei was mending the knife on the side.
"Don't try to please me, it's useless to please me, because there are no extra pastries!" Ming Zhongxin didn't appreciate it, and directly pushed Li Tingmei back with a word.
Li Tingmei was petrified instantly, this trick didn't work!
"However, as long as you stay, there will be pastries after the banquet!" Ming Zhongxin This is a change of direction to retain customers!
"Okay, you must try the Ming family's delicacies later!" Everyone shouted in unison.
After the joke ended, Ming Zhongxin returned to the topic.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's say goodbye, are you all okay?"
"Good!" Everyone should be in unison.
"Here today?"
"Everyone is here to ask for advice from you, the head of the case, who let you make your imperial examination book make a great effort in this government examination, which makes everyone want to stop. When I came back this time, I went to the Ming Family Bookstore to buy books for the imperial examination, but I heard that you stopped printing. No, I'm here to ask you about it! Wang Qi explained.
Ming Zhongxin looked at him gratefully, don't look at this Wang Qi like a stunned person usually, but he still knows to remind him at the critical moment.
"It just so happens that everybody is there, I'll explain. This matter is the order of the county lord, the imperial examination books published before today have been all the books stored in the Ming family bookstore, as for the other imperial examination books have not been compiled for the time being, the county is worried that everyone relies too much on these books, and the cart is turned upside down, causing everyone to abandon their studies. Not only that, but the county is also worried that other counties will come here to buy and affect the studies of students from other counties, so in the future, only students in our county will be allowed to communicate with each other. So, you get the idea! ”
Liu Zhixian consulted with him and promised to recite the book for him.
The people here are all smart people, and they will understand it as soon as they hear it, this is for fear that other counties will come to buy such books and wipe out the advantages of Ling County, so they must ban the circulation of this book in the market.
Everyone tacitly understands that you can't buy it, you can copy it by hand! Although this is also difficult, who doesn't have three or five friends, besides, isn't it to be here today to make friends with the head of the Ming case!
As long as you hand over the head of the case, are you afraid that you won't have to copy it? (To be continued.) )
