Chapter 87 A daughter of the Zeng family has grown up! (Please be the first to order!)

Zhang Heng fled in despair.

To be honest, what Zeng Gongliang said is really incompatible with his values.

In Zhang Heng's later life, the concept of marriage was based on monogamy without concubines, and he himself was more cautious about marriage. Because of this in his previous life, he was not married even in his thirties.

Now Zeng Gongliang suddenly told him that he had to use concubinage to control people. When this extremely realistic thing was placed in front of him, he was really unable to accept it and even felt a little at a loss.

"It's so outrageous! It's incredible! How can people do this!..."

Zhang Heng rode away like the wind on a little female donkey.

But he didn't notice that there was always a pair of eyes staring at him.

The owner of the eyes is Zeng Youwei.

There was no smile on the little girl's face and she looked quite cold.

Zhang Heng returned to Taixue.

He didn't think clearly about how to deal with this matter, so he put it aside for the time being and dived into studying.

The heavy rain finally stopped, the summer heat hit as expected, and Bianjing City fell into the hustle and bustle of summer.

This is not only the hustle and bustle brought by the weather, but also the preview of autumn.

As Qiuwei gets closer, there are more and more young talents in Bianjing.

Taixue is often visited by young talents from various places. The three brothers often hear various predictions about participating in the imperial examination this year, which is often speculated among Taixue students.

The most promising one should be Yang Chi (pronounced zhi) of the Imperial College. Yang Chi repeatedly ranked first in the Imperial College examinations, beating Wang Gui, Han Zhen and others, and was monitored by the Imperial College as the first.

As for those coming to Beijing from other places, Su Song from Fujian is considered capable of entering the top three, and Wang Anshi and others are considered to be the best in this class and may also aspire to be the top pick.

Of course, Zhang Heng is also among those who are favored.

Zhang Heng is famous for his poetry. It can be said that at a certain period of time, Zhang Twenty-Four was famous throughout Bianjing City and became the most famous celebrity in the entire Bianjing City.

However, after all, the imperial examinations were still different from poetry. As autumn approached, people began to pay attention to different things.

Over the years, the Imperial College has produced numerous talents. Although the Imperial College has always been criticized for its poor morale, in every year's scientific examinations, the Imperial College always has a large number of candidates, and they often occupy the top rankings.

Yang Zhi, Wang Gui, Han Jiang, Lu Gongzhu and others are all considered to be the best in this class, and they probably won't be too bad.

As for Taixue, because Taixue is not taken seriously after all, not many people pay attention to it. Fortunately, there is Zhang Heng who prevents Taixue from being completely lost. Taixue's direct lecturers are also promoting Zhang Heng's ideas.

The articles are first-class and excellent, but they always attract ridicule - poetry depends on talent, and policy analysis depends on experience. How can a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, no matter how outstanding he is, be able to compare with others who are twenty or thirty years old? He still has more accumulation.

Let’s talk about it in a few years.

The direct lecturers of Taixue were inevitably angry, but they had nothing to do. The key was not how Zhang Heng was, but how Taixue was.

After all, Taixue is attached to the Imperial College, and it has just started. Just like a newly established institution in later generations, if you advertise that your students are no worse than those of Tsinghua and Peking University, people will only laugh at you for not having seen the world.

However, Zhang Heng's reputation has indeed attracted many young talents to come here. It has made Taixue's name famous among students, especially some students with ordinary family backgrounds. I heard that Taixue can accept non-Qi students.

When Pinguan's children entered school, they had some thoughts.

After all, they are not sure that they will pass the exam. If they fail, it is a good choice to go to Taixue and wait for the next class. Some of them have younger brothers or sons at home and wonder if they can send them to study here.

Zhang Heng was quite interested in making friends at first, but after receiving some people, he deliberately avoided them.

It’s not that I look down on people, it’s mainly that it’s a waste of time, and not many of the people who visit may be qualified.

Some people came to visit, and they asked to see Zhang Heng by name. Zhang Heng also went to see him politely. The people who came raised their eyebrows and raised their eyes, and they wanted to compare or were unconvinced when they came. Some people were more polite.

But in his eyes and words, he also thought that no one in Bianjing would become famous.

Of course, there are also those with better qualities who politely express their admiration and politely make appointments for dinner and drinks.

But overall, Zhang Heng felt that many social interactions were ineffective. He was not sure whether he could pass the Jinshi examination. Judging from his previous life experience, if he could pass the Jinshi examination, these social interactions would be of some value. If not, then

These friendships are not of much value, so he might as well spend more time studying the questions and ensure that he is admitted to the Jinshi first.

So Zhang Heng went straight to the point where he explained the situation clearly, saying that he had to deal with too many social interactions in Taixue and had no more time to study and prepare for exams, so he took a leave of absence and went home to study.

Zhidao also had high expectations for Zhang Heng. After giving some instructions, he agreed to Zhang Heng's request.

Zhang Heng got the leave, but did not return to his home. Instead, he went to the Imperial College to find Zeng Xiaokuan and asked them to go to Zeng's mansion to prepare for the exam.

That's right, Zhang Heng didn't want to go back to his home, but wanted to go to Zeng Mansion to prepare for the exam.

When he returned to his own home, he had to clean and cook. If he had questions, was there anyone who could answer them? But it was different when he arrived at the Zeng Mansion. He just brought a mouthful there, and Zeng Gongliang could give it to him in the evening.

Lectures, these days are so comfortable.

As for whether he would be embarrassed to eat and drink for free, Zhang Heng... well, this person is thick-skinned. Although he is not like his second brother who only thinks about eating soft food, he still eats the food of his teacher Zeng Gongliang.

It’s justified - he is my teacher, eating his food and drinking his food is not a natural thing!

Zeng Xiaokuan was very happy about Zhang Heng's decision. After arriving at the Zeng Mansion, Zeng Xiaozong was also very happy. Of course, Mrs. Zeng was also very happy, Zeng Xiaochun was also very happy, and Zeng Youwei was also very happy, but the servants of the Zeng Mansion were not very happy.

, because their workload has increased.

But as long as the master is happy, it doesn't matter whether the servant is happy or not.

Zeng Gongliang was quite busy, and he didn't dare to relax in the third class courtyard, so he was much busier than before, and it was also late when he got home. However, he did not forget to give Zhang Heng and the other three tutors, read articles, and then

Change it.

There were chirping cicadas and occasional rain in the summer. Zhang Heng ate delicious food and drank spicy food every day at Zeng's house. He lived so freely that he almost felt like he didn't miss Shu.

It’s just that happy days will not last too long after all. Entering July, the weather has become hotter and hotter, and even people’s minds have become hotter.

Zeng Xiaozong and Zeng Xiaokuan were restless.

Zeng Xiaozong had taken the exam several times before, but failed every time. He probably had a shadow in his heart.

Zeng Xiaokuan had never passed the exam, but it was normal for him to be nervous since it was his first time.

The two of them were nervous, which made Zhang Heng nervous, so he couldn't help but answer some more questions.

The only way to relieve worries is to answer questions.

There is a very important festival in July, which is the Qixi Festival. People in the Song Dynasty called it Qiqiao Festival. It is a particularly important festival for little girls. There is a young lady Zeng Youwei in Zeng Mansion, so the whole family pays great attention to it. On this day, even

Zeng Gongliang came back early.

Early in the morning, Zeng Youwei pulled Zhang Heng and insisted that Zhang Heng accompany her to the market to buy begging items. Zhang Heng was reluctant to do so. Zeng Youwei pushed her hard, but Zhang Heng reluctantly agreed.

Zeng Xiaokuan and Zeng Xiaochun volunteered to go along, but Mrs. Zeng sent her away to buy other things.

There was a carriage in the Zeng Mansion, and Zhang Heng originally thought that the Zeng Mansion would send them a carriage, but Zeng Youwei pestered Zhang Heng and said that they would go by donkey cart, and Zhang Heng would be fine.

Zhang Heng experienced the Qiqiao Festival for the first time. The Qixi Festival in Bianjing City is quite grand. The market we went to today is a market dedicated to begging for skillful items. It is a market that specializes in begging for skillful items, and is known as the Qiqiao Market.

Zhang Heng immediately wanted to turn around and run away when he saw it, because Qiqiao Market was busy with traffic and people, especially today was approaching Chinese Valentine's Day. Qiqiao Market had become a sea of ​​people, and it was difficult for cars and horses to move. This grand occasion was no better than New Year's Eve.

Unfortunately, Zhang Heng could only call him "good guy".

The car couldn't pass. Zhang Heng had an idea and put the car outside. He and Zeng Youwei squeezed people and walked inside. There were too many people. Zhang Heng was afraid of being squeezed away, so he could only hold Zeng Youwei's little hand tightly, while

Use your body to help the little girl block the oncoming crowd.

He didn't have any ideas, but the little girl was so excited that she couldn't help herself.

After squeezing for a long time, the little girl finally bought something she liked and returned home satisfied. This made Zhang Heng breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhang Heng secretly made a decision that he would never go out on holidays again, let alone go shopping with the little girl. It was too tiring.

That night was the worship ceremony, but Zhang Heng and others did not need to attend. It was actually quite interesting to just drink tea and chat with Zeng Gongliang and others in the lobby, listening to the chirping of the little girls on the patio.

The next day, Zhang Heng was still busy - he was invited to attend the store opening ceremony of the shopping mall.

This cannot be pushed.

He has pushed the mall matter many times, but he still has to go when the store opens. After all, he is a shareholder of the mall. Zeng Gongliang was also invited. After all, he also has 10% of the shares, but Zeng Gongliang will not attend such a meeting.

For the event, just let Zhang Heng go on your behalf.

Zeng Xiaozong didn't want to go, but Zeng Xiaokuan wanted to go, but Zeng Gongliang scolded him not to go, and finally asked Zeng Youwei to go with him.

Zhang Heng didn't care. He wouldn't stand at the front desk anyway, he just attended.

But he didn't know that this trip, which seemed ordinary, brought about earth-shaking changes in his life. If he had known it earlier, he would never have allowed what happened on this day to happen, but how could anyone in the world have known it earlier.

However, when he saw Zeng Youwei's dress when she went out, he felt that something had changed, but he felt that he couldn't figure it out and could only let it go.

By the way, this was the first time Zhang Heng saw Zeng Youwei dressed up, and it was the first time he felt that the little girl had grown up...
