Liu Mingzhi patted his slightly stiff thigh and let out a breath: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, isn't it just seeing your future father-in-law, young master, you haven't seen such a big storm."

"Master, the post has been sent by the servants, and there will be news in a while."

Liu Mingzhi took a breath in fright, didn't he see that the young master was brewing feelings: "Got it, shouting so loudly is killing me, go and bring the gift."

Qi Run was guessing the emperor's will in the study, and was told that Liu Mingzhi came to pay homage.

Putting down the silk book in his hand, Qi Run asked Liu Mingzhi to wait in the front hall. Qi Run subconsciously glanced at the sky and sneered, "You still know the rules of etiquette, so let this old man see what Liu Mingzhi is like."

"Liu Gongzi drink tea first, my master will be there soon."

Liu Mingzhi nodded indifferently: "Thank you."

Qi Yong stood aside consciously, but glanced at Liu Mingzhi from time to time, showing a curious look.

"The old man is busy with some vulgar things, but I have made my nephew wait for a long time. I hope that my nephew will not take it to heart." Qi Runren has not yet arrived, and the voice has come from a distance.

Liu Mingzhi got up in a hurry: "Liu Mingzhi, the little nephew, sees his uncle, and he asked Haihan to disturb him when he first saw him. I didn't expect Uncle to be so full of anger. It can be said that he is old and strong."

Qi Run looked at Liu Mingzhi and walked to the main seat: "Nephew, don't be too polite, take your seat, nephew is indeed a talented person, and he is dignified."

"My uncle praised me, I am an outstanding person in the south of the Yangtze River, and my little nephew is not a good-looking person."

Seeing that Liu Mingzhi was humble and polite, and his advance and retreat were well-founded, Qi Run was both puzzled and satisfied, and looked at Liu Mingzhi carefully, wondering if the rumor was wrong or if Liu Mingzhi was pretending.

Liu Mingzhi was calm and calm, sitting on the chair, the surface was normal, but he was nervous like ants crawling around.

"Nephew, do you know what the old man called you to come this time?"

He sighed: "Reporting to my uncle, my father told my little nephew that my uncle has something important to meet with my little nephew, but my father did not tell my little nephew what the matter was, but according to my uncle, my little nephew naturally did not dare to slack off."

Qi Run was satisfied after hearing this. It can be seen that Liu Mingzhi is very good at Tai Chi. I will tell you clearly that although I don't know if it is important that you are looking for me, I will respectfully come to listen to your teachings.

"Liusong, bring something."

Liu Song trembled and handed the things to Liu Mingzhi: "Uncle, it's the first time to visit the door, a little courtesy, but it's not a respect."

Qi Run hesitated for a moment: "My nephew, let's take it back. This old man never accepts gifts."

"Uncle misunderstood. This is not my nephew's intention to bribe my uncle. This is a little respect from the younger generation to the elder. How can my uncle refuse to accept this gift?"

"In this case, the old man will not refuse, otherwise, it would not be beautiful to refute the good intentions of the nephew."

"Qi Yong, take Liu Gongzi's gift to the back hall and go to the second lady to tell her, saying that Liu Gongzi came to visit, ask her to dress up, and come to the front hall to meet the distinguished guests."

"My nephew, how are your studies now?"

"Reporting to my uncle, my little nephew was a little playful in the early years, and his studies were a little abandoned. Fortunately, I followed my father's instructions and went to Dangyang Academy to study."

"Which master do you worship under?"

"Master Liu."

Qi Run asked hesitantly: "But Liu Yucai from class C is Master Liu?"

"Uncle has a good eye, it's just that the school where my little nephew is in is the Class C. As for Master Liu's name and little nephew, I don't know."

"Well, although this Liu Yucai is a bit of a sour scholar, he can be regarded as a celebrity. It's not too bad for you to worship under his school to study academics. This year's autumn is coming. I don't know if my nephew is willing to participate? If this year If you miss it, the next autumn will be three years later."

When Liu Mingzhi mentioned this, he felt a little guilty. He didn't count how many pounds he had in his heart. If he had to say that his calligraphy had a few years of history, he could see through it, but the imperial examination was smeared.

Since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, the system of Shiqing and Shilu was adopted as the way to obtain officials, and later, military merits were gradually used to confer nobility.

In the Han Dynasty, the imperial court used the inspection system and the expropriation system to promote civilian talents. The former was recommended by local officials for talents with both political integrity and ability, and the talents elected by prefectures and counties were scholars. Because the Han Dynasty was the same as the Qin Dynasty, The implementation of the county system, so the talent elected by the county is Xiaolian.

As for the Wei and Jin Dynasties, officials were selected by Ninth-Rank Zhongzheng, and talents were evaluated by specific officials based on their background and morality. However, due to the strong clan, the selection of officials by Ninth-Rank Zhongzheng gradually became dim.

As a result, there are no poor families in the upper class and no nobles in the lower ranks, which not only blocks the channels for folk sources of materials, but also allows the nobles to control the candidates for the imperial court.

Therefore, the birth of the imperial examination system has greatly faired the way out for common people to enter the officialdom. The permanent subjects of the imperial examination include more than 50 kinds of subjects, such as scholar, Mingjing, and Jinshi.

Liu Mingzhi knew about this, but he knew nothing about the content of the exam.

"To be honest with my uncle, my nephew Qiu Wei should attend this year, my father has already ordered my nephew to participate."

"It's so good, I wonder if my nephew can be sure of it?"

Liu Mingzhi was stunned for a moment, then sneered twice: "Uncle is joking, but he doesn't know the difficulty of the test questions, and the little nephew has no absolute certainty and dares to say that he will do the best, so he can only go all out."

Seeing Liu Mingzhi like this, and thinking about all the things Song Shan had collected about Liu Mingzhi's past, Qi Run couldn't help but examine Liu Mingzhi, who didn't look like the unicorn mentioned by the emperor.

Although Liu Mingzhi's performance was courteous and courteous today, he always felt that there were some deficiencies, which were strange but could not be explained.

"If that's the case, then the good nephew needs to study a lot. Although the good nephew has a reputation as a scholar now, but this person and a scholar are in a big world, and their identities are naturally very different. The only way to study is to study hard. Your nephew must never be neglected."

"My little nephew must follow my uncle's teachings. When I return home, I will keep the lights on and read at night."

"Boy Qi Liang pays a visit to my lord father, my lord father, my boy heard that a dude surnamed Liu came to visit, where is this person? My boy wants to avenge my second sister."

A handsome boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old walked into the front hall angrily, shouting that he wanted to teach Liu Mingzhi a lesson.

When Liu Mingzhi heard the name Qi Liang, the image of the African boy appeared in front of him subconsciously. Liu Mingzhi thought to himself that it would not be such a coincidence, that Qi Liang could be Qi Yun's younger brother?

However, Liu Mingzhi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Qi Liang with an immature complexion and a fair and clean face. The Qi Liang in front of him was not only not black, but was as fair and healthy as a girl, presumably it was just a misunderstanding of the same name and surname.

However, Liu Mingzhi was embarrassed again, because Qi Liangkou claimed that he was a dummy and wanted to seek revenge for Liu Mingzhi who ruined his sister's innocence.

Brother-in-law in the future, do you believe me if I say that touching your sister is a misunderstanding?Liu Mingzhi thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, otherwise not only Qi Liang would be furious, but also his future father-in-law would whip him out of the Qi mansion.

Touching his nose in embarrassment, he had no choice but to pretend to be deaf and dumb. He didn't hear what his future brother-in-law said, so he took a sip of tea from his teacup to ease the atmosphere.

Qi Run saw his son rushing into the lobby without courtesy, and his face was a little embarrassed. You said that Liu Mingzhi was a playboy, and his performance was good. He ignored the elders and treated guests directly. It is not only rude, but also rude. is rude.

Qi Run thought about Liu Mingzhi's every move since he entered the mansion, and then looked at his son, but felt that Qi Liang couldn't compare to Liu Mingzhi's understanding of etiquette, otherwise he said that other people's children are good, and they are all fathers. In this way, the son is all good and the wrong one destroys everything.

He snorted coldly: "The boy is rude, Liu Gongzi is a guest when he comes to the door. If you treat guests like this, you are full of poetry and books. You have learned from the dog, and the little bastard is cleaning you up at night."

Liu Mingzhi snorted, as expected, one side supported the other side, and they were also from Jinling, and the tone of curse was not far from the same.

Qi Liang angrily glanced at Liu Mingzhi, who was sitting on the side, with fire in his eyes: "Father, this scoundrel has ruined my sister's innocence in the Yanyu pavilion, and made everyone in Jinling know, what can I do with my sister? As a human being, I have to teach him a lesson today."

Qi Run's face turned red, his eyes were bloodshot and he gave Qi Liang a vicious stare: "Nizi, shut up for me, and immediately go to the ancestral hall and kneel for me. If you don't get up, you have to kneel to my death."

Qi Liang looked at his father dissatisfied: "Father, you..."

Qi Run said to Song Shan next to him: "Song Shan, press down the son and let him kneel in the ancestral hall. No one can beg for mercy. Whoever begs for mercy will kneel with him."
