All Hail Cousin Brother

Zhou Linghuai took it seriously: "It will take more time and money to continue the test, and I don't know if I can pass the test next time, so there are many people, from the young test to the old man, who only have a cavity of grief and resentment, and donate to the government office. It takes a lot of money to manage, not to mention whether you can afford it or not, even if you can afford it, if you take the road of donating officials, you will basically end your future."

Donating energy to the seventh rank has already topped the sky.

Officials of the seventh rank and above must be evaluated every three years, which is the key to promotion.

The first part of the evaluation is the origin.

Tongjinshi, Jinshi, Shujishi, etc., are the key to the evaluation. Those who donate to officials are not eligible for the evaluation list, and it is impossible to go further.

But!

Han Chuang has been studying hard for ten years, and everyone has ambitions for the imperial examination. How many people are willing to be trampled under their feet all their lives and cannot turn over?

Yu Youyao sighed softly: "The most cruel thing is not the scientific examination, but after the examination, there is no background, no connections, and no channels. What other way out is there after entering the dynasty? If at this time, the rich and powerful take the initiative to hand over the olive branch, not only Guaranteed to pass the test and get it after passing the test, the support of the other party, and the truth of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, everyone understands."

It is really not easy for ordinary people to give up an official.

Just like Concubine Jiang, the family has many acres of farming and reading families, and has cultivated a fellow jinshi, the master bookkeeper of Jiang, who has already burned high incense from his ancestors.

But after passing the Tongjinshi examination and successfully entering the court as an official, is everything really good?

Take a look at Jiang's master book. After taking the position of the sixth-rank master book, you should know that after passing the exam, you will only need more money, contacts, and channel management.

Don't a big family like the Yufu also need the money, connections, and channels of the Xiefu?

The key to the family background is also revealed.

Zhou Linghuai nodded: "Fraudulent in the scientific examination, lax enforcement of the prohibition, no dynasty or generation can avoid it. The examiner of this meeting, Huang Zhiyuan, is currently a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. It's him."

Yu Youyao asked quickly, "I heard that the president of this meeting is Master Tang, the master of the Hanlin Academy. Will he be implicated?"

The Tang and Yu families are long-term friends. I heard that when my grandfather was there, the two families got closer, and their relationship was even closer than that of the Marquis of Zhenguo.

Also after my grandfather passed away, my grandmother was a widow and seldom went outside. Many familiar families gradually faded away.

Later, Yu Zongzheng and his second uncle entered the court one after another and became officials, and the two families moved around again.

It's just that the grandmother doesn't look down on it. Master Tang, the academician of the academy, that is, Miss Tang Wu, Tang Yunxi's father favors the concubine and destroys his wife, and does not like Mrs. Tang's temperament to seek profit and avoid harm.

The two are still far apart.

It's just that the interests of the relationship are closely related, the bones are broken, and the tendons are connected. As long as you don't make up your mind to break the muscles and bones, it doesn't mean that the group can be broken up.

Zhou Linghuai said in a low voice: "It is inevitable that he will be implicated, but Madam Tang's mother's father is the Zhan Shifu of the Zhan Shifu, and the official position is not large, but the Zhan Shi is in charge of the government affairs of the government, the workshop, and the bureau. Just for this point, many people in the court will plead for Lord Tang, and the Hanlin Academy is an important place for the court to select talents. If there is a mistake in the Hanlin Academy, it is the country and the country that will be shaken, and the courtiers do not want it. The involvement is too big, and Master Tang will most likely be able to get out of the way, but it is necessary to be exempted from officials."

Yu Youyao's eyes moved slightly: "It's just that the official is exempted, and the family will not be implicated. Mrs. Tang's family has a wide range, and Master Tang still has a chance to recover."

Whether Master Tang can be revived depends entirely on Madame Tang's family. As a result, Madame Tang's status in the Tang family is also rising.

Madam Tang is a person who can fight a big battle in a silent voice, and will never let this opportunity pass, so there should be an explanation for the matter of favoring a concubine and destroying his wife.

No matter how favored a concubine is, can it be as important as the future of Lord Tang?

Really good reincarnation.

Zhou Linghuai smiled: "That's right."

After hearing this, Yu Youyao knew about the calamity of fraud, and he couldn't reach the Yu Mansion: "When will Brother Fang be released from the prison? The investigation of fraud has nothing to do with him, and will it affect his future?"

Zhou Linghuai shook his head: "His ranking is not high, and his classics and strategy questions are also in the standard. A candidate like him, after entering the prison, only needs to find out his interpersonal contacts after he entered Beijing, and confirm that there is no suspicion. Basically, I won’t suffer too much, there will definitely be forced confessions, and I won’t be tortured by severe torture.

Yu Youyao breathed a sigh of relief, and understood the meaning. His eyes widened: "You mean that the people at the top of the ranking are almost tortured? Isn't Song Shizi..."

Zhou Linghuai raised her eyebrows, and Yu Youyao swallowed the words behind her consciously.

She suddenly mentioned Song Mingzhao, but she just said it casually, without any other meaning, but her cousin obviously didn't like her mentioning Song Mingzhao, so she just didn't mention it.

Zhou Linghuai's eyes were slightly deep: "Yaoyao——"

"Huh?" Yu Youyao looked suspiciously at her cousin,

The little girl's eyes were innocent and bright, like a lake, and it was sparkling. Zhou Linghuai's expression softened without realizing it, but her tone was slightly calm: "I'm not a generous person."

Song Mingzhao's drunkard's intention was not to drink wine, but his coveting Yu Youyao made him like a stinger in his throat.

Yu Youyao was stunned when she heard it, what does cousin mean?

What does Ming Zhao have to do with his cousin?

The little girl blinked lightly and looked at him puzzled. Zhou Linghuai laughed dumbly: "Even if you don't understand, it's not a very important personnel matter after all."

Now Yu Youyao understood, and nodded again and again: "I was also an irrelevant person, so don't bother."

Zhou Linghuai smiled again and looked up at the little girl. The tassel Buyao he is wearing today was made by him some time ago when he had nothing to do. He is proficient in carving, and it is not a problem to carve a hosta, but the craftsmanship of tassel jewelry is very cumbersome. , He thinks Yu Youyao looks good in tassel, and he specially found a book to learn how to do it, which took a lot of effort.

Now it seems that the little girl is wearing the jewelry made by him, and it is worth it.

The whole body of jade white and white hosta is carved into a cluster of hosta patterns. The hairpins are on the side of the little girl's temples. The lengths are different. Under the tassel, it swayed lightly, making the little girl look delicate and elegant.

Yu Youyao raised her cheeks: "Cousin, is this the dead end you arranged for Ning Yuan's Mansion?"

Involved in scientific examination fraud, the emperor could not protect him.

Zhou Linghuai smiled, "It's just Xiang Zhuang dancing the sword."

Yu Youyao's eyes widened. What his cousin meant was that although he pointed at Ning Yuanbo, he actually had other intentions?
