Chapter 61 This is not the Qin Wenyuan we know
"Tell me, if my husband fails the imperial examination, what should we do if he can't bear the blow?"
Changle was worried.
As the saying goes, worrying too much makes one confused. Changle was no longer able to deal with things rationally because he was too worried.
In her imagination, there was a high probability that her husband would fail the exam.
After all, others studied for a year, ten years, or even decades to take the imperial examination.
There is no way I can catch up with my husband in just seven days of hard study!
Xiao Lin at the side comforted him again: "No, you are so smart, you will definitely pass the exam."
As soon as the words fell, an inopportune voice sounded.
"Madam, where are you? I'm back." The owner of the voice was Qin Wenyuan.
Hearing this voice, Changle and Xiaolin were stunned.
"Xiao Lin, the imperial examination... the imperial examination will not end until three days later, right?" Changle asked uncertainly.
She suspected that there was something wrong with her ears and that what she heard just now was an illusion.
Xiao Lin replied: "That's right, three days, Master... How come Master came back so soon?"
As she spoke, Xiao Lin frowned, "Could it be that the young master was so overwhelmed by the test questions that he gave up the exam?"
"Miss, how about...how about we go out and take a look?"
Changle nodded and walked out with Xiaolin.
Outside the door, when I saw Qin Wenyuan's signature sunny smile...
Only then did Changle realize that it wasn't her ears that had a problem, but that her husband had really come back!!
"Husband, why...why are you back?" Changle was extremely surprised.
Qin Wenyuan said calmly: "I have finished the test questions, so I am back. Do you still need to ask this, Madam?"
"But this...but this..."
For a moment, Changle didn't know what to say.
She really wanted to say, we were only separated for an hour or two, how come you came back after doing well in the exam?
Could it be that he gave up the exam?
Changle really wanted to ask this, but when she thought that Qin Wenyuan might give up the exam and go home, she was afraid that asking this would hurt her husband's mentality, so she had to give up.
Changle tried hard to force a smile and said softly: "Well, since my husband is back, I will go make beef noodles for you! You take a rest first!"
Qin Wenyuan nodded.
Seeing this, Changle took Xiaolin to the kitchen to prepare to cook the beef that he had asked Xu Gou to secretly kill and bring back from Baiyun County a few days ago.
At this time, Changle's original anxiety was completely swept away because Qin Wenyuan returned home.
In her opinion, it doesn’t matter whether her husband can make the list or not.
I hope you can come back safely.
…
Qin Mansion.
Wei Zheng walked over to the address of the test questions.
"Excuse me, is this the manor of Mr. Qin Wenyuan?"
Wei Zheng asked a servant from the Qin Mansion in front of him.
Seeing Wei Zheng in his official uniform, the servant did not dare to offend him and said with great trepidation, "Your Excellency, this is indeed the residence of my young master."
"My young master moved to Chang'an seven days ago."
The words fell.
The corners of Wei Zheng's mouth twitched slightly.
In fact, when he saw such a magnificent manor in front of him just now, even though it was written "Qin" Mansion on it, he still couldn't believe that it was Qin Wenyuan's residence, and thought he had come to the wrong place.
Before he came, he thought that Qin Wenyuan was either living in a restaurant or temporarily staying in someone else's home. He never thought that Qin Wenyuan, who was penniless a few days ago, could now afford to live in a manor.
this……
Is this really the Qin Wenyuan that he, His Majesty, and even all the officials know?
Is this really the Qin Wenyuan who has trouble even eating? ?
Wei Zheng was in a state of confusion and had no idea what was true and what was false about Qin Wenyuan.
"Then please let them know that the chief examiner Wei Zheng wants to see Master Qin." Wei Zheng said respectfully, never daring to look down on Qin Wenyuan again.
The servant waved his hand, "No need, sir. My young master said that there might be officials from the imperial court coming over later. If they come, there is no need to inform them, just let them go."
"Please come in, sir."
The words fell.
Wei Zheng almost stumbled and fell. How did Qin Wenyuan know that a court official would come?
He was suspicious, but also felt even more in awe of Qin Wenyuan.
Wei Zheng walked in, and Qin Wenyuan had been waiting in the lobby for a long time.
When he saw it was Wei Zheng, he was also surprised.
"I didn't expect that it was you, Lord Wei, who came here." Qin Wenyuan stood up and said.
When they met for the first time, Wei Zheng looked at Qin Wenyuan carefully and thought to himself that he was indeed a man of great talent.
He cupped his hands, took a deep breath and said, "Master Qin, how did you know I would come?"
“It’s very simple.”
Qin Wenyuan said unconcernedly, "Since ancient times, people with eccentric behavior have always received more attention than ordinary people."
"And if I handed in my paper so quickly, it was inevitable that the examiner would notice it, and he might even open the paper on the spot to check my answers."
"Then, as long as someone reads what I wrote about the next day's test, there will only be two possibilities for their reaction. One is that they will sneer at my answers, and the other is..."
Qin Wenyuan looked at Wei Zheng deeply and said, "It is regarded as a strategy for governing the country."
"So, I asked my servants to prepare for the reception. The person who will receive me is an official like Lord Wei who regards my test answers as a strategy for governing the country."
The words fell.
Wei Zheng widened his eyes and remained speechless for a long time.
Qin Wenyuan, this completely guessed his every move!
How could this not shock him?
He was really sure that the Qin Wenyuan that he and His Majesty thought of before was just a illusion created by the other party and was not the real Qin Wenyuan at all!
Wei Zheng was a little excited and said, "Then... Mr. Qin, do you think that the business principles in your test questions can really be implemented in our Tang Dynasty?"
This is also the purpose of his visit.
As for the merchant's argument, such remarks were too shocking, so he chose to hide himself and first came to ask Qin Wenyuan for advice.
Otherwise, if he made it public so quickly, the imperial court, which was filled with the eyes and ears of the aristocratic families, would probably know about it immediately and would regard Qin Wenyuan as a thorn in their side, or even take action against him. This was not what he wanted to see.
He didn't want to see a truly talented person die in the vortex of conspiracy.
And if it can be implemented...
Then the Tang Dynasty will undergo earth-shaking changes!
When he thought of this, Wei Zheng became very excited.
He really wanted to hear "yes" from Qin Wenyuan, but unfortunately, he was disappointed.
Qin Wenyuan sighed, "I'm afraid it's not possible at the moment."
"If we want to reform, there must be a leader among the merchants. This leader's business empire must be strong, strong enough to rival the major families."
"But it's a pity, Lord Wei, now not only in Chang'an, but even in all parts of the Tang Dynasty, among merchants, the aristocratic families are respected."
