The Transmigrated Life of a Salty Fish Family

Chapter 874 Three Prefectures Joint Examination

Pork skin jelly is here.

King Ying was faster than Yan Laoer and was the first to poke his chopstick in.

Suck.

I took a big piece of it into my mouth, it was cool and dispelled some of the drunkenness.

Originally, the King of England was not so persistent.

His father claimed to be sick, so he just had to wait patiently.

But he couldn't stand Yan Er nagging in his ear every day, saying that his second son was coming to the capital, and not only the second son, but also his wife and niece would come, but his eldest brother couldn't come for the time being, what a pity!

As Yan Er's family was about to be reunited, King Ying felt more and more unhappy.

His daughter was obviously closer.

"This time, my father has issued an order for the three prefectures of Guanzhou, Leshan, and Xizhou to hold a joint examination. Students from the three prefectures will gather in Yongning, and Mr. Ma, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, will be appointed as the chief examiner to rush to Guanzhou to supervise the examination..." King Ying pondered and said, "Yan Er, what do you think my father is up to?"

"My eldest brother wrote that His Majesty had this intention a long time ago." Yan Laoer had a rough idea of ​​the King of England. He had some of the qualities of a royal family's son, but that was all.

This person's path to advancement was cut off early on, and he basically returned all the books he had studied to his teachers. Although the essence is left, it is not much.

If it weren't for his elder brother pushing him hard from behind and acting as ferociously as a tiger, it's unclear whether he could have returned to the capital on his own.

But it must be said that the King of England is a man who listens to advice and is more honest than his brothers.

Yan Laoer still dared to speak in front of him.

"How far is it from the capital to our Guanzhou? Lord Ma is not young at all. I heard that he is a well-educated scholar. We haven't even arrived in the capital yet, but Lord Ma has already set off. It's a pity that we didn't meet him, otherwise we could have chatted..." He still felt a little regretful. This was the chief examiner. What if he could get some test questions out of him?

In the capital, the huge crowds of students who came to pay homage to their teachers could line up from one end of the street to the other.

"Although my eldest brother didn't say it explicitly, I'm thinking that there's something else going on when Lord Ma goes to Guanzhou. Is there some implication that His Majesty is optimistic about the prince?"

The King motioned for him to continue.

"Think about it, if you can really move up a level, then compared to the other big prefectures, wouldn't our three prefectures in the northwest be closer to you? If you want to do something in the future, it will be more convenient to use your own people."

Yan Laoer is different now. Although he is only a small captain and a deputy at that, among ten people who fall in the capital, eight have higher ranks than him. But after all, his position has been raised and his vision has developed. He can see a little further than before.

"If it is to pave the way for you, then Your Majesty wants to see if there are any good students in the three prefectures and train a few of the best ones, which is quite reasonable."

The King of England nodded. He thought so at first.

"But since the Emperor's palace banquet..."

Yan Lao Er interrupted him: "His Majesty didn't see you, but he didn't see anyone else either. From this point of view, he treated everyone equally and was very fair."

"Today I entered the palace, and guess what, the eunuch who led the way told me to run before His Majesty, show my face, and show my loyalty.

The women in the harem can still enter. The county lord has a natural advantage in this regard as she lives in the palace. But this matter is really not our county lord's fault.

It is better to have less trouble in the palace. Doing the right thing is what you should do, but if you do the wrong thing, you will be finished. There is no princess or even a prince in the palace. There is only our county princess in this generation. Well, I heard from others that our county princess didn't even have a serious study for a few days. It was all thanks to Empress Zhao's words and deeds.

Empress Zhao is the most low-key person, and our county lady is also a follower of hers. If we want her to go before the emperor, I'm afraid it will be really difficult for her."

Yan Laoer also has a daughter. If he puts himself in her shoes, he would go crazy if his daughter was kept in the palace like this, so he keeps urging the King of England to take the child back.

"Let's follow the discussion and take the county princess home. If His Majesty punishes you, you should take the initiative and be thick-skinned. Go to the palace gate and wait there, play the victim, and ask for a meeting. It will be different if we meet in person. We can also figure out more about His Majesty's feelings for you."

"I think we can't just sit there and wait. When will this end? Wait until my eldest brother comes?" Yan Lao Er shook his head and said, "After he finishes the exam, he will explain the things at hand. If he is hindered by something again... we have to find a way out ourselves."

The King of England has great trust in Yan Erduan.

Some people feel like old friends even after only a short time together.

Yan Er has an aura that makes people trust him from the bottom of their hearts.

He may not be smart enough or thoughtful enough, but he is kind to everyone from the bottom of his heart, honestly and directly, without any ambiguity.

"Our second child also said that we have to fight! Not the kind that gets us hurt, but we have to show our enthusiasm and let people see that we are positive." Yan Laoer tried hard to recall his eldest child's "nagging" and filter out useful words and phrases from it.

The King of England's eyes were filled with desire. He wanted to read Yan Er's family letter again. "That's... that's what!" Although Yan Er was drunk, he was still cautious and didn't blurt out the word "throne".

"Your Majesty, you should fight for it. If you don't, it would be a bit strange."

The King of England thought it was right and nodded deeply.

He drank the glass again and put it down heavily.

"Yan Er, from today on, if my unruly brothers send people to cause trouble for you again, you don't need to tolerate it anymore. I will beat them back!"

Yan Laoer’s pork skin jelly was already close to his mouth.

Pause for a moment.

Suck!

He couldn't help but took a sip.

Swallow it whole.

Yan Lao Er spoke cautiously: "Your Majesty, we really can't bear it? Fight with them? What if we get hurt?"

"Can't I afford the medical expenses?" The King of England rolled up his sleeves and pointed at the bruises on his arm and said, "Since they did it on the first day, don't blame me for doing it on the fifteenth!"

"Next time you go out, bring more people with you. If you catch them, don't hold back and teach them a lesson!"

Yan Laoer quickly wiped off his sleeves.

"Yes! With your words, my Lord, we know what to do!"

"You didn't tell your family, did you?" King Ying sighed, "If Xiaoer knew her father was being bullied like this, the Yan family army might just fly over here with wings!"

Yan Laoer said silently: Don’t mention Xiaoer, even if it’s his eldest brother, if he knew that his good younger brother came to the capital and was bullied, he would come to kill him.

Since he didn't say it before, he didn't plan to say it now.

Being far away makes people worry in vain.

Besides, his elder brother was about to take the exam, and the old emperor had set up a joint examination for three prefectures. The quality of the candidates in these three prefectures' examinations was immediately raised.

Yan Laoer has absolute confidence in his elder brother.

At such a critical moment, he can't let his little bump affect his elder brother's mood for the exam.

……

Yan Laoer slipped out by himself in the middle of the night, passed through several dog holes, and finally arrived at the meeting place where he had agreed to meet Master Ye.

He came to deliver a letter.

The contact with Mr. Ye must not be known to others. Yan Huaiwen cannot rest assured that anyone other than Yan Laoer will be safe.

"Please pass these on to Mr. Yan. We will meet here in the next ten days." The masked Mr. Ye whispered.

Yan Laoer grabbed his arm and said, "Yes! Yes! I will definitely deliver the letter. Lao Ye, don't leave in a hurry. I have something to ask you."

His brother once said that if he encountered any problems in the capital, he should ask Old Ye.

Yan Laoer then told the county lord how difficult it was in the palace. The King of England wanted to take his daughter home, but they wanted to take her away by force. There were also several princes who were very annoyed and always had their men cause trouble for the King of England's palace. The King of England had said that he could deal with them, but to what extent he could do so. Yan Laoer was a little unsure, so he thought of asking Lao Ye about the above questions as well.

Old Ye: ...

Before coming to Beijing, I never heard that I would have to worry about the household affairs of the British palace!

Looking at Yan Laoer's eyes full of curiosity.

Master Ye took a breath.

Yan Huaiwen: God bless you, if you are undecided, you can ask Mr. Ye~
Mr. Ye: Thank you, Old Ye~
Yan Laoer looked at it eagerly.

Mr. Ye: I am convinced! ~
