At the Zhang family banquet, the situation was no longer under Zhang Chengxi's control. Wu Fu jumped out of the trouble and immediately aroused the response of Zhang Haoran and others.

Tian Zepeng, Zhang Haoran, Shu Yuan and others had long discovered that something was wrong with Duanmuqiu. The girl next to Duanmuqiu was very strange and always came to Duanmuqiu's ear and muttered at critical moments. However, due to their identity as the master, it was difficult for them to point it out easily.

After all, if there is no evidence to investigate such a cheating, it will inevitably hurt the harmony. Once the harmony is hurt, it will lose the big picture. But now Lord Wu has stepped forward to preside over justice, so how could they swallow their anger and jump out to question Duanmu Qiu for a while.

With their youthful spirit, they still cannot see through the sinister intentions behind Wu Fu's leadership, and Wu Fu is determined to destroy Zhang Chengxi's platform. Even if Zhang Chengxi knows it well, he is helpless and helpless for a while.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Duanmu Qiu. Facing Wu Fu's doubts, Duanmu Qiu's expression remained unchanged at all, and he bowed:

"Mr. Wu said it well. I am really cheating. Today is a banquet for the Zhang family. As a woman, the sister-in-law cannot show her face in front of everyone. So she asked Caiyun to pass on the poem to me. Unexpectedly, Lord Wu will tell you in one sentence. I feel so ashamed!"

As soon as Duanmu Qiu finished speaking, Song Jin laughed and said, "Mr. Wu, you are too serious, right? Today's banquet is mainly to celebrate Lord Zhang's entry into an official position. We drink and write poems to cheer up and play. But I didn't expect that many talents in Xinhe County are all talented people who are very talented and learned. They were actually suppressed by a yellow-haired girl in poetry. It was unexpected!"

As soon as Song Jin said this, the audience was in an uproar. Zhang Haoran and others who were justified just now changed their faces immediately. They were all confused and wanted to find a crack in the ground to drill down.

All the talented men in Xinhe County and the Zhang family felt that they were blind, but they had nothing to say.

What Song Jin said is true. Indeed, Tian Zepeng and others were crushed by Duanmu Qiu just now and had no chance to win. From the perspective of Shicai alone, they were far behind.

Zhang Haoran was dissatisfied and immediately said, "Mr. Song, we were suppressed by a yellow-haired girl. Are you still the same students in Nanyou County and Dujiang County?"

When Zhang Haoran said this, Song Jin didn't say anything, but frowned slightly, with an unpleasant look on his face. Wu Fu said erectly: "Shut up! Do you think it's not embarrassing enough? Don't you see that Master Duanmu is just a joke? They originally wanted to be kind and cheerfully cheer up, but you guys who don't know the best of the world insisted on being aggressive. Because of their poor face, they asked a yellow-haired girl to teach you a lesson.

Hehe, you are not convinced after you have learned the lesson. Do you really need someone to strip you naked before you know the shame?”

Wu Fu suddenly turned his back, and his words were harsh, which made Zhang Haoran and others scream. What Wu Fu said sounded absurd, but in fact it was that, and the winner was not questioned.

Today's battle of poetry is a fact that the talented man in Xinhe County was defeated, and a little woman on the other side made Zhang Haoran and other talents helpless. What kind of face does Zhang Haoran have to question the talented man's poetry?

Zhang Chengxi looked at the scene and could spit out fire from his eyes. Wu Fu was really too bullying. His stabbing was so fierce that it could be said that all Zhang Chengxi's efforts were in vain.

I thought that Zhang Chengxi took office immediately, but Nie Yong did not give him any advice. Instead, Wu Fu gave him a lot of hard work, which made him feel painful.

Today, Zhang Chengxi suffered a small setback. The key is that so many talented men in Xinhe County were suppressed and their morale was too heavy. This time, the boy tried to find Zhang Chengxi's career and future, and there was no failure. Zhang Chengxi calculated everything but did not count that Wu Fu would stab him in the back.

"Old Cui, what should I do today?" Zhang Chengxi leaned over to Cui Da and lowered his voice.

Zhang Chengxi doesn't like Cui Da very much on weekdays because Cui Da is his elder brother Zhang Chengdong. However, at the critical moment, he could only ask the old fox to help him think of some countermeasures. Wu Fu's lesson was a bit profound. Zhang Chengxi felt that he should have hired a few disciples, otherwise he might have to fall apart in the future.

Cui Da's expression remained unchanged and said in a low voice: "Compared with poetry, Lu Jiazheng's brother can suppress this number one beauty in Yangzhou!"

Zhang Chengxi frowned and suddenly turned his head to look at Cui Da. His lips were tilted, and his heart was filled with anger. However, he did not spit out a word after all.

What is Lu Zheng? Zhang Chengxi is so generous, it is not a pity for Lu Zheng's talent, but he is now responsible for the boy test in Xinhe County. Lu Zheng is a student in Xinhe County, and the most famous and influential student in Xinhe County. In this case, Zhang Chengxi puts the overall situation first, so Lu Zheng can ensure safety!

In this case, Cui Da asked Zhang Chengxi to find Lu Zheng. Isn’t this destroying his power?

Seeing Zhang Chengxi's expression, Cui Da lowered his voice and said, "Second Master, Brother Zheng is a lucky star. If you use it, you can turn bad luck into good luck, but if you want to harm, you will turn good luck into bad luck. According to my old observation, it will be very fulfilled!"

When Cui Da said this, Zhang Chengxi couldn't help but feel a stern in his heart. Recently, there were similar statements in his ears. At first, he didn't care much, but after hearing it too much, he sometimes believed it a little.

Even Cui Da said this now, it is definitely not aimless. Cui Da, a slave, is the most cautious person. He lived to be in his seventies and has always been the main character of the Zhang family. He is definitely not a nonsense person.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Chengxi said, "Then do you bother to invite Brother Zheng here?"

Cui Dadao: "I can definitely go there, but I may not be able to invite you. Brother Zheng is busy with his studies and is deaf ears outside the window and is devoted to reading only the books of sages!"

Zhang Chengxi raised his eyebrows and wanted to get angry again, but finally he suppressed it.

Cui Da slowly retreated, greeted the two servants who were holding the lamp, and rushed to Xijiaoyuan.

...

In West Corner Courtyard, Lu Zheng had just returned from outside. It was snowing and it was very cold. It was frozen at night and the carriage could not move. Qi Biao wrapped the horse's hooves with brown. Lu Zheng sat on the horse. He was responsible for the lights. It took more than half an hour for the two of them to come back from Luo Guancai's house.

As soon as Lu Zheng entered the yard, the yard seemed to be fighting. Ying'er asked Si Qi to prepare hot water, Zamei was responsible for preparing meals, Xiaozhu was responsible for going to the study to make stoves, and Ying'er himself served Lu Zheng to change his clothes.

It was too cold at night. Lu Zheng was wearing a fur coat and the cotton socks inside the soap boots were cold. His frozen feet could not be oven-baked, so Ying'er asked Lu Zheng to soak his feet in hot water first.

Lu Zheng lay on the chair, enjoying Ying'er's careful service, and was not in a high mood.

Today, Zhang Chengxi took office, and his teacher Luo Guancai was in a low mood. Mr. Luo has been waiting for this shortage for so many years. Whether in terms of qualifications or talent, Luo Guancai is much higher than Zhang Chengxi.

According to normal circumstances, Luo Guancai had the identity of a juren, and it was natural for Nie Yong to recommend him. Moreover, over the years, Luo Guancai also provided a lot of help to Nie Yong, but the result was that Zhang Chengxi became the throne.

Lu Zheng could clearly feel the teacher's inner loss, and Lu Zheng felt extremely guilty about it, because he planned this matter from beginning to end.

The reason why Lu Zheng did this was for his own consideration. He offended the Zhang family and it became very difficult to gain a foothold. He even had life worries at any time. He needed to stabilize the Zhang family.

On the other hand, from Nie Yong's perspective, Nie Yong had just improved politically. The prefect, Lord Dai, left, and the mountain pressing on Nie Yong's head was moved away. This was when he was about to make political achievements.

In this case, Nie Yong and the Zhang family are approaching, and it is a great opportunity to win over Zhang Chengxi. With the financial resources and influence of the Zhang family, Nie Yong can easily manage Xinhe County!

Lu Zheng considered all aspects properly, but did not consider Luo Guancai. It was reasonable and he should recommend his teacher to Nie Yong, but in the face of real interests, he finally surrendered. This is the helplessness of life.

Perhaps after this setback, Luo Guan will regain his ambition to go to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination. The future is a blessing, but for Lu Zheng, his guilt is hard to let go of anyway.

Ying'er felt Lu Zheng's mood depressed, and she said, "Third Master, don't be sulking. If the second master doesn't invite you to the banquet, who will suffer a loss! I don't believe it. This time, the boy test, the county magistrate named Nie dares to wear small shoes for you.

If he dares to do that, Yangzhou will be in a state of chaos, and those talents who turn back in Yangzhou will not spare him."

"Huh?" Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and he immediately realized that Ying'er was wrong and thought that Lu Zheng was disappointed without attending the Zhang family's banquet.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "What do you know, girl? I am thinking about the homework the teacher gave me today!"

"By the way, tomorrow you can tell Sun San and ask him to send another cart of charcoal to Master Luo. Today, Master Luo gave me a lecture, and his body was trembling with cold!"

Luo Guancai was exhausted by Lu Zheng's teachings. He taught him all his life's abilities without reservation. Recently, he has strict requirements on Lu Zheng, which is equivalent to Lu Zheng having to participate in the imperial examination every day.

This model is similar to the tactics of the simulated test questions on Earth. Luo Guancai himself is a master of the test papers collected by his family. He has a room full of test papers, and there are many test questions he has recorded.

Through this high-intensity mock exam, Lu Zheng's time writing was greatly trained. Lu Zheng was making rapid progress, and he was full of gratitude to Luo Guancai.
