Wei Yi's words certainly mean something. Xu Xingwei looked at Xu Zixian with concern. For a clan who has aspirations, it is undoubtedly quite respectable to be able to log in to the influential newspaper like the weekly newspaper.

There are also practical benefits. Celebrities who become famous in various major newspapers will gain more connections and attention from officials and gentry, appear in various high-level activities, and get the opportunity to integrate into higher-level circles.

Before this, Xu Zixian faced various pressures and wanted to explain to his father. Of course, he also wanted to integrate into this kind of circle, but unfortunately he failed.

"I won't write poetry anymore." Xu Zixian made a firm hand gesture and asked Wei Yi and the others: "What's going on in the city in the past few days?"

"General Shenwei Liu Zili is going to get married. After getting married, he goes to serve in front of the Zhangzhou army. But he doesn't want to go, and the Grand Governor's Office can't spare him."

"Xu Gongda, the crown prince of the Xinchang Marquis's Mansion, was forced by his eldest father to go on blind dates everywhere, and he was suffering a lot."

"There is a fire in the Jingyuan Marquis' Mansion. The second young master Chen Jingfu ran to the street in the middle of the night, trembling naked, and was attracted as a joke!"

"The Zhao Mansion is still the same, and there are endless guests every day. Oh, Xu Ziwei is going to the capital with Brother Zhang. He is going to be the personal guard in the capital."

Xu Xingwei interrupted, "He is the legitimate son of King Zhao, and he came up with the seventh-rank Langwei. I can't envy this."

The royal family of this dynasty was restricted, but it was also because of the distance. The eldest son of the King of Zhao was actually Emperor Chongde, but he was brought into the palace since he was young. Xu Ziwei was originally the third son, and one of his elder brothers died young, so he became the eldest son. This is the person who will inherit the throne of the first-rank prince in the future. The royal family said that one generation was surrendered to the first-class title. For example, after the previous generation of King Zhao, this generation should have been the Duke of the State, but the Zhao palace was developed, and Emperor Chengzong had no son, so he carried the eldest son of the King of Zhao into the palace for upbringing. Later, he became Emperor Chongde of the current emperor. Of course, the King of Zhao did not have to surrender to the first-class title, and he could at least two generations of titles thereafter.

Why, the law of the royal family stipulates that those who have great achievements will be granted the title of king and will be inherited by three generations.

The Zhao royal palace was in chaos for Emperor Chengzong, which means that it has great contributions to the Great Wei and the royal family. Not only are the kings and the next generation, but the next generation is also the next generation, and the fourth generation begins to surrender.

This method is quite fair. Xu Xingwei was not saying sour words, but just sighed that he was also a clan of the royal family after all, and the first generation of ancestors were also kings. His ancestors were named King Yan at that time, the first generation of kings, the second generation of dukes, and the third generation of marquis, who could be promoted to the third generation, and then he was appointed General Zhengdong, and General Zhenwu and General Yang Wei.

By the time Xu Xingwei's generation had already been released, and no official position had been hereditary.

Xu Zixian raised his glass and said, "We are all husbands. Even if we are rich and noble, it is meaningless. We should seek wealth and honor by our own family. I hope that my three brothers will never forget each other's poverty and honor, and share poverty and honor with each other."

Xu Xingwei and Wei Yi were both surprised. Both raised their glasses and drank with Xu Zixian.

Wei Yi said: "I didn't expect that if I could hear Mingda say such words today, it would be worth this trip, and this trip."

"I still have something to ask Brother Yan for help." Xu Zixian smiled and said, "So I have to say a few nice words first, and I'll coax you."

Wei Yi laughed and said, "It's so fascinating and beautiful. Just drink it for no reason."

Xu Zixian smiled and said, "How are Xu Gongda and Chen Jingfu?"

Wei Yi did not say in detail, but said, "It's still the same bird-like appearance, and hasn't made much progress."

The elegant gatherings of the Zhao Prince's Mansion, everyone has good and bad relationships. They have always disliked Xu Zixian and often targeted them, namely Xu Gongda and Chen Jingfu. After Wei Yi said this, Xu Zixian understood.

...

In the evening, Xu Zi first hosted a banquet in the mansion to entertain two friends, but this time he asked someone to get serious rice wine. The dishes were stewed mutton, duck with vinegar, razor clams, stewed oatmeal, steamed sea fish, and a few dishes of vegetables and vegetables.

Everyone was a playboy, and he had never treated him badly in terms of drinking and food. However, Xu Xingwei and Wei Yi saw that Xu Zixian was solemnly treating him, so they nodded to each other, knowing that Xu Zixian was really different from the past. In the past few months, because they knew that Xu Zixian had hurt his face, it was difficult to visit him. However, the letters continued to be kept. Xu Zixian's letters became more and more exquisite, and there were often witty words. The writing level did not increase, but the demeanor and mind were completely different from the past. From now on, it was not an illusion for one's own family, but it was indeed the friend who had benefited.

Everyone in the seat was in a happy mood. The young man had a strong appetite and ate the dishes on the table like a wind blowing the clouds.

But the younger sister, Xiuniang and others were eating in another room, so it was difficult to live in the same room with these young men.

After dinner, he went back to the study to chat. When talking about his future plans, Xu Zixian said: "Next year I will prepare the family affairs and lay a solid foundation. I will go to the capital to do the job of the title. In addition, I will take the exam for the Wu Jinshi."

The royal family does not need to take the martial arts exam first, but instead directly takes the lock-in exam.

The imperial examinations in the dynasty have normal exams and ethics, which is to give some famous scholars or famous officials the opportunity to refer to later. General Liu Zili, the Shenwei general, was in his early twenties, and was also a common person who met in the city. He had a friendship. This time, he went to work in front of the Zhangzhou army and wiped out bandits to gain military merit. When the entrustment is offered in the future, when the local officials recommend it, he will not be rejected if he has this level of qualification.

Another example is the hall lock test, which is mainly aimed at the children of the royal family. You can directly take the Jinshi exam without the need for scholars or juren.

This sect is a big advantage. As long as you pass the Jinshi, you can naturally become an official. Whether it is civil and military affairs, your official salary is better, but it is much better than the royal family's treatment.

Of course, Nan'an Marquis Mansion is also rare. One is that the population is not strong. Secondly, there were only six officials who were awarded the title, but it was too few. When King Zhao arrived in Fuzhou, there were more than one hundred officials and more than three thousand households. The monthly serious taxes were more than one million yuan a year, and there were also thousands of free laborers, so the treatment was no different from the prime minister.

Xu Xingwei said happily: "This is the best, but then Mingda, you and Yanke will come to the capital together, and my three brothers will be promoted to the Jinshi together, wouldn't it be a pleasure."

Xu Zixian smiled slightly. He remembered that Wei Yanke was proud of his spring breeze in Fuzhou Weekly and missed his studies. He did not pass the imperial examination this winter, so of course he could not take the Jinshi exam. Wei Yi seemed to have passed the Jinshi a few years later. After being a county magistrate for a few years, he was transferred to the magistrate of a county in eastern Zhejiang. When the Donghu soldiers headed south, they hanged their own robbers and died of their country...

Xu Zixian thought to himself: "Of course we must do better in this life. No matter what, our friends and one's own destiny must be changed!"

...

The next morning, Wei Yi and Xu Xingwei stood up to say goodbye, and Xu Zi saw him off first. This time, the younger sister came out to see him off. Wei Yi and Xu Xingwei praised the younger sister very much. They were the best friends and socializing. This was the etiquette and socializing.

Xu Zixian brought a handful of oranges and said with a smile: "I asked someone to buy this. Yanke must often go to the Zhao Prince's Mansion. When he saw Xu Gongda, Chen Jingfu and others, he said that I bought it for them."

Xu Xingwei said: "These people have always been incompatible with Mingda, why do they do this?"

"As we grow older, there is no need to worry about the past when we were young." Xu Zixian smiled and said, "You must always look forward. If they have malice, I will have a way to cure them."

"Mingda is confident." Wei Yi rushed to say, "We friends just help and don't ask about gossip."

The two friends said goodbye with their fists and rode back to the city together. Xu Zi waved goodbye first, and the younger sister also blessed her with a blessing.

Xu Zixian thought to himself: "Wei Yanke keeps talking and glances at my younger sister from time to time. This guy seems to be a little girl. Well, it's quite appropriate that the two are about four years apart. It's too early for people to get married. If Wei Yanke is a man in later generations, it would be abominable. He is actually a luoli... My younger sister originally married Chen Jingzhong, the prince of the Marquis of Jingyuan. The two brothers disagreed with me and looked down on me, so that the couple's relationship was dissatisfied after marriage. Well, this matter should be avoided in this life. Although my father had promised when he was alive, as long as he had never given a betrothal gift, it would not be considered engaged, and it would be okay to leave. But we have to discuss this matter with my younger sister, so we should not be idle..."

"Little sister," Xu Zixian smiled and said, "My two friends are not bad, right?"

I thought my younger sister would mock her, but she didn't like the friends Xu Zi made before, but the little girl smiled and waved her hand and said, "Go, Brother Yan praised you for a long time this morning, saying that she has really grown up. Well, I'm very happy."

Xu Zixian was a little dissatisfied. What a good Wei Yanke, who actually approached my younger sister by praising me. He was so brave. One day he would have to be poor and punished for his crime... But don't be busy for now. For the sake of his praise in front of my younger sister, let's spare it for now and let it go in the future.

Xu Zixian still went to run and practice arrows as usual, which was a lesson that could not be struck... Then he changed his clothes and went to the study room, but did not read the classics, history, and collections. He wanted to take the Wu Jinshi. The requirements of the Wei Dynasty for the Wu Jinshi were to be able to understand the military strategy and answer the right questions of the military books. It was simple, but the martial arts exam was not easy. Otherwise, the civil and military dynasty of this dynasty would be a good choice for the Wu Jinshi... It would be better to take the military strategy, strategy questions, and the details of the marching, formation, camping, and the golden drums and flags. Judging from the content of the martial arts assessment, there was both a strategic side and a tactical assessment. Xu Zixian also knew that the combat effectiveness of the Wei army was not weak. Generally, the last days of the dynasty, the government was corrupt and the combat effectiveness of the army was low. For example, in the late Ming Dynasty in history, it was normal for more than 100,000 Ming troops to defeat thousands of Jurchen soldiers.

The Wei army's equipment, training, morale, and constraints on military generals are not bad, but I don't know why the foreign record is not good, so I have to observe this matter slowly. After all, I was trapped in Fuzhou in my previous life and did not enter the power circle at all, nor had the chance to command soldiers. The inside story is that the bystanders are unclear...

In addition, the martial arts Jinshi need to take the exams of riding, shooting, strength, fighting, and civil and military. Ordinary people need to take the exams from martial arts to Jinshi, which is not as easy as imagined. Moreover, the medicinal materials and nutrition needed to be poor and rich in martial arts, and ordinary people cannot afford it. Therefore, from the perspective of the people, martial arts Jinshi is much more difficult than literary and Jinshi.

In addition to military books, there are also miscellaneous studies such as law and order, Xu Zixian also studied them every day.

The regret is that I have not studied hard since I was a child. I had a teacher but was unconscious at that time, but now I cannot hire a real famous teacher to teach me. Fortunately, I have the foundation of a time traveler. I can read the books at this time and learn from other books. I don’t have much difficulty in writing exams.

Before noon, Xu Ming would come in as usual to grind ink, and then Xu Zi would write a large letter for an hour.

The characters are practiced every day. Before, Xu Zixian had a dog and crawling, but it didn't matter at that time. Basically, the resume was printed out, and at most he could sign a name like "Flying Dragon and Flying Phoenix Dance".

But it is not possible now. You must practice calligraphy in the style of Guange. The characters are the face of a person. The face is ugly. How can you get the chance to be understood by others...

Before noon, my younger sister went to Xu Zixian's study as usual, sat aside and watched her brother practice calligraphy, stroke by stroke, and seriously.
Chapter completed!
