The past life is cold and the present life is warm

Chapter 245
After hearing Su Wanqiu's words, Mr. Wen was slightly taken aback, and said with some surprise: "Didn't you say that your clan brother was sent out by your clan uncle to practice? Why did it become driven out again?"

Su Wanqiu showed her white teeth, smiled, and said mischievously: "Yes, from the outsiders' point of view, they are indeed sent out to travel. But in my opinion, isn't that just being kicked out by the clan uncle?"

"At that time, the clan brother told me that when the clan uncle drove him out, he said that he had lost his book bag and would only talk on paper. He thought he was so great and capable. Don't walk around in this world and suffer a little bit. Knowing what is theory is greater than practice. What is learning and applying it. So my brother told me that when he went out, his uncle gave him 100 taels of silver. The ancestors of the family secretly gave him 1000 taels of silver notes .”

"My brother said, if it wasn't for the 1000 taels of silver, it is not certain whether he would be able to live in the Hui family. At that time, brother Zu joked to me. If he was too hungry to practice outside, he would go to the I have been staying in my hometown. I will not go back to the capital, and I will go into business directly. In this way, Uncle Zizu will definitely not say that he is stupid in studying."

Mr. Wen Yanwen stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "It's still a child's heart. It doesn't look stupid to study like this. I don't know when your clan brother will return to Beijing? The old man is really more and more curious and wants to meet him. .”

Hearing what Mr. Wen said, Su Wanqiu was overjoyed.Unexpectedly, I helped my brother get Mr. Wen's attention.If my brother can pay homage to Mr. Wen when he returns to Beijing this time, then his future official career will definitely be much smoother than his father's.

Although Su Wanqiu thought so in her heart, she felt a little helpless.She sighed and said: "To tell the truth, Mr. Wen. I don't know. The last time I saw the clan brother was three years ago. At that time, the clan brother had just left the capital. I went back to the clan first. , I am the elder brother I saw at that time."

"I also asked Uncle Zu about the brother's situation when I came to Beijing this time. Uncle Zu also said that it was two months ago that I received Brother Zu's letter. Brother Zu said in the letter that he heard that the people in the south were displaced by the flood. The articles I wrote when I left home were for the purpose of fighting disasters and reassuring the people. So in order to verify my articles, my clan brother took his entourage to the south. Since then, the letters have been broken. To be honest, my clan uncle is also very worried."

Mr. Wen couldn't help stroking his beard when he heard the words, and said: "Your clan brother is a good person. He worried about the country and the people at a young age, and he will be a great talent in the future. If one day, Xiaoyou clan brother returns to Beijing, and You are still in Beijing, remember that you two must go to the old cottage for a cup of hot tea!"

Su Wanqiu happily agreed.When I agreed with all my mouth, I felt that the little donkey cart stopped slowly.The little boy who was driving outside said softly: "Sir, Young Master Ying Tianfu has arrived." Su Wanqiu hurriedly moved out of the car, and then reached out to help Mr. Wen.

Su Wanqiu helped Mr. Wen into Yingtian Mansion.I happened to see Sun Xiaotian strolling around in Yingtian Mansion and said to Bai Jin, "This Yingtian Mansion looks no different from ordinary mansions. It's just that there is an extra lobby in front. It's not as gloomy as those dramas say." Scary."

Bai Jinyan said expressionlessly: "Why do you want Mr. Cai to take you around the prison?"

Sun Xiaotian quickly waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I'm afraid I'll have nightmares when I go back at night."

Song Shi'an was a little surprised to see Master Cai Hulala bringing back such a group of people.He originally thought Master Cai was just going to help mediate a dispute and be a witness by the way.I didn't expect to pick up such a thing all at once in the end.If the case of cheating in the exam is not handled properly, it is estimated that there may be a big trouble.

He listened to Master Cai's words.Don't dare to delay and let the document take notes for everyone first.After apologizing to everyone, he hurriedly changed into his official uniform and went to the Ministry of Rites to find Master Yan.

Master Yan in the Ministry of Rituals was holding a tea bowl, gently fiddled with the tea leaves with the lid.He lowered his eyes and listened to his subordinates reporting on the use of the Guozijian and the deployment of personnel during this period of time.

Then I heard someone come to report that Song Shi'an from Ying Tianfu had something to see.Master Yan frowned, waved his hands to let his subordinates back down, but he was thinking in his heart: What did Ying Tianfu ask him for?He didn't want to deal with Ying Tianfu.In his mind, dealing with Ying Tianfu and Dali Temple is the same.Very unlucky.

He asked the person who notified him, "Did Mr. Song say what he came to see me for?"

The person who notified replied: "Sir Song said that someone cheated in the exam in Qiuwei this year. I didn't find it at first, but it was discovered by others when Ying Tianfu sent people to mediate a dispute today. This matter itself is a trivial matter. I used other people's articles. But when the incident happened, there were too many literati and students watching. So I came here to let you know."

Lord Yan frowned and continued to ask: "Who is this cheater?"

The person who informed him shook his head and replied: "This villain doesn't know, Mr. Song didn't tell the little one."

Mr. Yan thought for a while: Since Song Shi'an came here in person instead of someone concerned, he probably wasn't someone with background.He even asked himself to come out in person.So he waved his hand to the informer and said, "Okay, I understand, you go down first. Treat Song Daren well in the front hall. I'm going to change clothes, and I'll be here soon."

Song Shi'an waited for about a stick of incense before he saw Mr. Yan came to the living room unhurriedly. He quickly stood up and bowed to salute, "I have seen Mr. Yan."

Master Yan waved his hands and said with a smile on his face: "Master Song is polite. I don't know that Master Song is here to see Yan. What's the matter? If it's just a trivial matter, Master Song will send someone to speak. Why bother to come in person Come?"

Song Shi'an hurriedly replied: "Master Yan is being polite. The main reason is that something happened today. It has something to do with your Ministry of Rites. I think it's better to come and tell Mr. Yan."

Master Yan pretended to be confused with understanding, and asked with a puzzled face: "Master Song, why does Ying Tianfu need to inform our Ministry of Rites for hearing the case? It sounds good. Our Ministry of Rites is one of the six departments. But it is also one. Not too much." It’s just an important department that attracts people’s dislike. How can Master Song treat it with such seriousness.”

Song Shi'an was a little suspicious.Didn't the person who sent the message just now explain his purpose of coming to Mr. Song?Why is Mr. Yan so strange to himself here?I didn't offend him either.But he still said respectfully: "Master Yan, you are really joking. The Ministry of Rites can be listed as one of the six departments. It is because it is also extremely important. The Ministry of Rites is an important department that transports talents to and from the whole country of Daji. So how Who would dare to despise the Ministry of Rites?"

Master Yan was not given a chance to continue speaking.Song Shi'an said directly: "The reason why the officials came to Mr. Yan this time is because it has something to do with the scientific examination. After all, the Ministry of Rites is directly responsible for this matter. If there is a problem, you should always inform Mr. Yan."
