Mr. Lu looked at Zeng Yu with jealousy, thinking that this kid was really lucky. He gave A Miaozhi a sha at Luting and climbed up to Yan Shifan's high branch. He thought that he had invested a lot of money to curry favor with Yan's father and son, and sent out his two beautiful nieces. This made his eldest son Lu Xu move to the commander of the Nanjing Jinyiwei. His second son Lu Shu was promoted to the magistrate of Raozhou Prefecture within six years after he was appointed as the chief magistrate, and he was considered a prosperous official.

What's annoying is that A Miao scratched Yan Shifan's eyes ten years ago, which was a disaster that came from the sky. Fortunately, Yan Shifan did not blame his Lu family, but only sent A Miao and Xiaozi back to Qingtian. Now, for some reason Yan Shifan asked A Miao and Xiaozi to come to Fenyi. Alas, A Miao is still so ignorant and offended Yan Shifan again. It's such a disaster for beauty. But this scholar named Zeng met halfway and got such a big advantage for nothing.

"Young Master Zeng, why don't you thank Lord Yan quickly." Seeing that Zeng Yu was still stunned, Lu Yuanwai urged: "Your Majesty Yan has a good eye for you. Entering Yan's house as a companion is not comparable to the Western Conference of other officials. Cough cough cough, Mr. Zeng has met a great nobleman."

Yan Shifan smiled and looked at Zeng Yu's expression and behavior. He liked to do things that change others' destiny, squeeze into the abyss or achieve his wishes. The feeling of turning his hands into clouds and rain was very pleasant. He did not believe in destiny, nor did he believe in ghosts and gods. He only believed in his own wisdom and ability. Even if he did not respect Emperor Jiajing, he was just a suspicious, suspicious, and delusional old pervert. He gave the order to deliberately vaguely and vaguely, and asked the cabinet ministers to guess. Whoever guessed correctly was the order. How could Emperor Jiajing hide his thoughts? In fact, as long as you remember the selfishness of Emperor Jiajing's personality, protect your shortcomings, and do not change these three points. Looking at Emperor Jiajing's hand decrees, you can basically understand the holy intentions.

"I am now returning home to mourn my mother. My father is on duty alone in Xilu. Without me as his counselor, I wonder if his Qing Ci memorial can be called the holy one?"

Yan Shifan thought this way, looked at the wooden wall on the west side of the guest room, and was scolded at Lu Miaoxiang just now. It was really exciting. He was obviously a little impressed by Lu Miaoxiang, a little bit of aspirations. The three armies can take away the commander but not the will. There are really such people in the world, and Lu Miaoxiang is still a woman. Then he thought: "Only women are less concerned, and do not take into account the interests of their actions--"

Seeing that Zeng Yu was still thinking, Yan Shifan stood up and said, "Why, Scholar Zeng refused to condescend?" His tone began to feel a little unkind.

Zeng Yu bowed and said, "Mr. Yan said, when he was fourteen years old, his family Yan passed away. Now he is a widowed mother and young sister depend on each other. This time, his family Ci told me that he would return home early regardless of whether he passed the exam or not. Although Lord Yan gave his eyes to his young son, he thought he would be a noble son to study with him, but his family Ci leaned on his neighbor and was eager to return. The young sister missed his brother, so how could he bear it if he was young?"

Yan Shifan smiled and said, "You are not only a poor scholar, but also a poor scholar with a poor life. Don't believe in your life. Rely on yourself. Let me ask you, where is your family?"

Zeng Yu could not hide it and replied: "I am living in Yongfeng County, Guangxin Prefecture, after I was born late."

Yan Shifan asked with a "Oh" and said, "Why did the Guangxin Mansion come to Yuanzhou for examination? His ancestral home is Yuanzhou?"

Zeng Yu really didn't want to say that he was here for a make-up exam, but deceiving it obviously wouldn't work, so he told him the truth now.

Yan Shifan laughed loudly, looked at Zeng Yu with great interest, and said, "You are really eager to seek fame. If all the children think they are as talented as you, and they chased the Master of Tixue along the way and shouted that they would take the make-up exam, what's the rule?" Seeing Zeng Yu feel a little embarrassed, he said, "Of course, you do have some literary talent, but there are so many talented and wise men in the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and how many eight-legged article masters are. Even if you are a erudite scholar, it is extremely difficult to seek the first place. Some have spent most of your life to get the yellow list, but your hair is white. You are young, why dare to ask for the make-up exam? Can Huang Dixue be sure of you?"

Mr. Lu, who was on the other hand, found out Yan Shifan's intentions and said to Zeng Yu: "If Minister Yan is willing to help you, your difficulties will be solved."

Zeng Yu cursed the fat man again in his heart. He finally got Huang Tixue's promise to give a re-examination. He was most afraid of the ups and downs during this period. He was really afraid of what he would come. Yan Shifan actually wanted him to be a companion. Didn't Yan Shifan see through the moral articles and the hypocrisy of the imperial examinations? He also asked his son to read something. He replied with a mercy: "Wan Sheng asked for the recommendation of the local genius in this county. He wrote another letter of sincerity. He waited in Fuzhou for several days and finally presented the letter to Huang Tixue. Huang Tixue was moved by my sincerity and promised to give Wansheng a chance to take the re-examination. So Wansheng hurried to Yuanzhou. Please understand it by Lord Yan."

Yan Shifan said in surprise: "You are quite capable, and you really want to get a chance to take the make-up exam. It seems that I don't need my help anymore." When he said this, his mind was changing. Would this young scholar have a happy first and then a sad one?

Yan Shifan was moody. It was really unhappy to have fate in the hands of others, but he could still fight in a curve. Zeng Yu bowed and said, "Mr. Yan wants to be a companion for the son of his son. How dare he not obey the order? After the son of his son attends Yuanzhou, he will return to his hometown to report his mother and come here to study for the son of his son." Now he can only agree to this matter first and try to get out after the exam.

Yan Shifan saw Zeng Yu agreeing and nodded, "Well, you finally got such an opportunity. How could you be willing to go to the exam if you don't go to the exam? But today you go to Jieqiao to meet my son to see if it's a good match - don't worry, Yuanzhou Academy exam is still early, you can catch up."

Zeng Yu had no choice but to stay at Qianshan Inn and wait for Yan Shifan and Lu and his group to set off. Yan Shifan attached great importance to Lu Miaoxiang and sent someone to ride a fast horse to Yichun with his famous letter to invite a famous doctor named Xue to treat Lu Miaoxiang. Zeng Yu prescribed the prescription yesterday and tried to take two more doses, and healed the sha first.

At the second hour of the Chen Shifan, Zeng Yu's servant followed Yan Shifan and Lu and his party to Fenyi County. When they were just paying the house, the owner of the Qianshan Inn heard that Zeng Yu wanted to be the companion of the young master of Yan's mansion, he refused to accept the house and said, "Yan Ge's father and son are in the hometown. The people of Fenyi know that you can't accept your house. It's not to curry favor with Yan's mansion. I am really grateful. Wannian Bridge outside the east gate of Fenyi County was built last year, which is so convenient for local people to travel between Yuanshui and the two sides of the river. This was built by Yan Ge's own donation of more than 20,000 taels of silver. It was not used to be a penny for the government and local people. In addition, Yan Ge's school was also funded by Yan Ge's school. Yan Ge's care for the people in his hometown. You can't tell me if you think you can accept your house money?"

Zeng Yuxin said, "Brother Sanchi said that he must not say bad things about Yan's father and son in Fenyi, otherwise you will be beaten. This is not a joke. Human nature is really complicated. Yan Song is a well-known treacherous minister, but he is really caring about the people in his hometown. When he asks someone in Fenyi, he must say that Yan Song is a loyal minister. Yan Shifan is definitely not the second generation of officials who rely solely on his father's sage. He has a keen sense and a powerful character."

After leaving Qianshan Town, the rising red sun was already showing its inflamed power. Zeng Yu and Si Xi both wore sunshade hats. Yan Shifan, Qi and eight followers were riding horses. Don’t look at Yan Shifan’s fat and whiteness. He was nearly fifty years old, but he was quite agile. He was half drunk last night and galloped here forty miles. He didn’t rest and had to ride back again, but he didn’t look tired and tired. He was really energetic. No wonder he was so lustful-

Because the carriage was bumpy, Yan Shifan arranged for Lu Miao to change to a sedan chair, and the girl Xiaozi accompanied her, and the two sedan chairmen walked very vigorously.

Zeng Yu followed Mr. Lu’s carriage and talked to Mr. Lu while walking. Mr. Lu was no longer as secretive as before. He opened his mouth and talked endlessly. Zeng Yu learned a lot about the situation in Yan’s mansion:

Yan Song had only one son, Yan Shifan. Yan Shifan first married the daughter of Xiong in Nanchang, but he had no children for more than ten years after marriage, so he only gave birth to a daughter. When Yan Shifan was 31 years old, Xiong finally gave birth to a son for Yan Shifan, named Yan Shaozhong, and his concubine Cao also gave birth to a son. Yan Song, 64 years old, had two grandchildren, and was so happy that he wrote poems to celebrate. However, the son born by Cao died in just a few days. Xiong then died of postpartum fever, and the eldest grandson Yan Shaozhong also died of pimples when he was five years old.

Yan Shifan continued to marry the daughter of Liu Xun, the Marquis of Anyuan. The Liu family did not have children in the first two years after their marriage. In desperation, Yan Shifan had only adopted two sons from his clan, named Yan Hong and Yan Hu. He is now a hundred households of Jinyiwei. It was not until the 25th year of Jiajing that Yan Shifan was 34 years old when he was 30 years old. The concubine Cao family gave birth to another son named Yan Shaoqing. Then his wife and concubine gave birth to five sons in a row. The one who wanted to be a fisherman was Yan Shaoqing, who was fifteen years old. Although he was born in a vassal, he was Yan Shifan's eldest son. Yan Song had such a grandson when he was almost seventy years old. Yan Shaoqing's status was naturally different.

The wheels were rumbling, and Mr. Lu coughed and said, "The deceased Mrs. Xiong has a daughter who married the 64th generation Yansheng Gong Kong Shangxian four years ago by the emperor as a matchmaker. Cough cough, this is really a great favor. Mr. Yan summoned Xiaozi back this time, and he must have married Xiaozi's children to the nobles. Cough cough, a happy event."

Zeng Yu didn't think this was a happy event. Yan's fall was about to fall, and the fate of the girl Xiaozi was worrying. And Lu Miao thought, is she really a beauty in her life?

Looking up, the plain curtained sedan chair was slowly advancing in the midsummer sunshine.
