Chapter 32 Imperial Examination
What happened in Xiding Villa spread to the ears of the Liu family the next day. Liu Bin just smiled, thinking he was a child.

No matter how talented Xingshu is, Cheng Jinzhou's 13-year-old appearance will only make people more impressive.

Liu Qingshuang asked in more detail, and did not get much meaningful judgment. The nobles of the Great Xia Dynasty had been out of production for too long, let alone a child.

The little girl explained everything she had heard in detail, and then said with a smile: "Miss, I heard that the little prince of the county prince's mansion also cleaned up a garden in Shaonan and transplanted many big-leaf osmanthus trees. It's the season of flowering..."

"What benefits did you receive, didn't you?" Liu Qingshuang raised her eyelids, her long eyelashes flickering.

"I heard that the Ladies' Meeting in Shaonan City is held in Danguizhuang, and the little princess of the Prince's Mansion is the initiator. We're new here, so we always have to pay a visit."

Liu Qingshuang said with a smile: "We may not stay in Shaonan, not to mention, without an introducer, how can we go to such a party."

"Several young ladies from the Cheng family will come to invite you." The maid always speaks casually.

"Then we have to wait for someone to invite us..."

While talking, another girl quickly ran in, and the little girl next to her laughed and scolded: "Yan'er, why are you so anxious, if you fall and hurt your foot again, let's see who will help you."

"It's the master who invited the new uncle to my home." Yan'er wore pigtails and was younger than Liu Qingshuang.

"Go and have a look?" The older girl immediately jumped up.

The three looked at each other and tiptoed forward.

……

Liu Zhuanyun's living room will never be idle, and today is no exception.

Not only local gentry visits, but also officials who are good at drilling business will do everything possible to make a trip. Transshipment makes the Yamen full of fat jobs, and seizing an opportunity may be a leap forward.

Liu Bin never refuses anyone who comes. He has been a guardian envoy for many years, and most of the people in his entrainment are military and political. Not many people are purely civil.Especially in southern states like Shaonan, there are many different ways of doing things.

When Cheng Jinzhou entered, there were two people sitting in a corner of the reception room. They both looked about 40 or [-] years old, had white faces and long beards, and were standard reading officials. They were quite different from Liu Bin's subordinates.

Your Excellency the transfer envoy obviously did not regard Cheng Jinzhou as an outsider, as if he was really introducing friends to his son-in-law: "This is Cheng Zhongming from Dongxi County, and this is Zhou Dequan from Shaonan."

"The Cheng family?" Cheng Jinzhou asked involuntarily.

"No." Cheng Zhongming was a little resentful, and his face blushed a lot.The Cheng family mentioned by Shao Nancheng is only counted as four branches of the main family, and those who have been separated for too long only leave their surnames.This brother Zhong Ming obviously didn't enjoy himself very much.

Cheng Jinzhou was also a little embarrassed. As a time traveler, he didn't really care about his family background, but the question "Cheng's family" has become an ordinary greeting, and he blurted it out without paying attention for a while.

Zhou Dequan, who was sitting on the other side, joked half-seriously: "Today there is only one and a half Cheng family members, and there are many people with foreign surnames."

He also saw Cheng Jinzhou's jokes when he was young. In fact, Zhou Dequan has the status of a nobleman. Although he is an insignificant lord, he is better than Cheng Zhongming who has not obtained the title of Jinshi.

Liu Bin was a noble man, he didn't care much about smoothing things over, and said with a smile: "Jinzhou, Mr. Zhong Ming and Mr. Dequan are from Sibo. This time, I'm going to take them to Hexi to meet and get acquainted with you, and let them know each other. Look at one of the perfecters of the method you use."

Apparently, these two people were the officials whom he took a fancy to and were going to survey the land.

Cheng Jinzhou greeted him politely, with standard actions, and never made any mistakes.

Liu Bin nodded in satisfaction.Zhou Dequan also put on a new expression because he was surprised. Both of them failed to learn astrology since they were young, so they had to retake the imperial examination and barely got the position of a prefecture-level finance minister. Can work out.

It can help fourth-level star warlocks to check for omissions and fill in gaps, and even improve it further. This kind of talent can no longer be described as excellent.

The awe-inspiring expressions of the two made Cheng Jinzhou feel refreshed as if he had eaten ice cream. To be honest, he was far inferior to many talented star warlocks in the Great Xia Dynasty, but compared to the reserve of knowledge, this was a complete bully. .

However, talent is to store knowledge, just like excellent earning ability is to make money, the advantage of warehouse is very strong.

"What are your plans for the future?" Liu Bin asked abruptly while speaking.

"I still hope to develop in astrology." Cheng Jinzhou shouted without daring to use the slogan "Food King".

Knowing Cheng Jinzhou's answer, Liu Bin snapped his fingers smartly and said, "Learning astrology is an expensive process, but I support you."

A group of maids came up with long satin-covered trays.

Naturally, there were neatly stacked ingots on the plate.

Cheng Zhongming and Zhou Dequan almost turned their eyes straight. As middle-level officials of the entire country, their private property is far from comparable to that of a veteran noble like Liu Bin.

What's more, guarding is a bit hard, and the money will never be less.

With the sound of the cannon, ten thousand taels of gold.No matter how peaceful the year is, there will still be wars on the border. If not, how can they show their value?

Liu Bin's wealth is not surprising at all.

Cheng Jinzhou's heart was pounding.

A total of 6 plates were brought up, silver ingots the size of a child's fist, upturned and rounded, as delicate as a baby's skin.

There were 6 ingots of silver in a plate. The maids knelt on the ground and brought the silver plate to the eyebrows. Several people actually looked at the silver without looking at the little girl's face first.

The big maid who was hiding behind the screen whispered in Liu Qingshuang's ear, "Miss, this is 20 taels of Jingku silver. The master is really willing."

720 taels of silver is enough for an ordinary noble family to live for a month or two.

Liu Bin was more or less a resolute person trained in the frontier. He pointed at the silver and said with a smile: "My son-in-law has four plates, and you two have one plate each. I am a little partial, so it is not unfair."

"Mr. Cheng Xiao is good at mathematics and science, and the improved method can save everyone a lot of effort, as it should be." Sending money together with the boss's son-in-law, how friendly the two are, how can they compare how much.

Cheng Jinzhou just went to visit Xiding Villa yesterday, and now he wants to take money again, so he said softly, "With a little achievement, the gift of Zhuangzi that day is already several times..."

"It's not just compensation for you." Liu Bin interrupted him and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow. The original gift list was for fear that you would waste your money if you didn't manage well, but now I think you have your own ideas and have more on hand." Living money is much more convenient."

This sentence is kind, just like Weng's son-in-law.

Cheng Jinzhou was a little moved, and because he really needed money, he no longer refused, and nodded lightly: "Then I will have more transfer envoys."

"kindness?"

"Father-in-law!" Cheng Jinzhou sweated in his heart.

Liu Bin laughed loudly, waved his hands and said: "Go ahead, go ahead. In addition, don't put down your homework. No matter which step you take, classics is useful. If you can, you can try to take the imperial examination next year and become a star warlock." , you have to be patient, before that, it will be much more convenient to have a title."

This is a really old-fashioned saying, Cheng Jinzhou didn't taste all the flavors until he went out.Compared with the taciturn father Cheng, this father-in-law who "falls from the sky" is closer to reality.

It is inevitable for astrologists to have difficulty achieving results. From learning the basics of mathematics and science, to training their ability, and then piercing the star array, it will take more than ten years. It is not uncommon to waste three to forty years. During this period, due to external factors, the Learning is by no means uncommon.

Rankless star warlocks who are studying are very popular because of their potential, but once the study is interrupted and the road to promotion is interrupted, it is like a student being dropped out of school and completely loses value.

It costs money to practice astrology, it costs money to eat and study, and it costs a lot of money to stab star formations. At least, if the family behind cannot see hope and is unwilling to support it, it is very likely to stop there-and the support of the family often depends on blood relationship and struggle within the family.As time goes on, the chances of blood relatives losing power or dying increase, and the chances of disgruntled relatives gaining power increase...  

At this time, a worthless fame in the eyes of astrologists will have a great effect-this is a retreat that most astrologists are unwilling to take, but it can deter most dissatisfied gentlemen.

The Cheng family is a standard aristocratic family.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't have a good impression of the imperial examinations, but starting from reality, it seemed a wise move to study Confucian classics as well.

Walking out of the room, he looked at the withered and yellow leaves unexpectedly, it was already the end of October, and there were only three or four months until next year's hospital examination.
