weak to him

The gate of the Lin Mansion is not very grand, it can only be regarded as ordinary. When Wei Han explained the purpose of his visit, the concierge smiled and said: "My master knew that the young master was coming, and specially told me that if the young master comes, please go in directly."

Wei Han was sweating a little on his back, but luckily Wei Liao reminded him, otherwise he would have offended a scholar of the Imperial Academy without knowing it.However, Lin Juefeng's hand was really beautiful, and Wei Han couldn't help but feel a little smug about treating such a small Juren with his identity.

What happened next made Wei Han feel that Lin Juefeng was an old fox even more, because the servant directly led Wei Han to Lin Juefeng's study.The study room of the ancients was a more private place than the bedroom. There were wives and maids who could enter the bedroom, but only you and your trusted book boy could enter the study room.Lin Juefeng chose to meet Wei Han in the study, which means he didn't treat Wei Han as an outsider.

The servant knocked on the door and said, "Master, Mr. Wei has arrived."

Lin Juefeng's voice came from inside, "It's Satomi, come in."

The servant turned to Wei Han and said, "Master let the young master go in."

Wei Han pushed the door open, and saw Lin Juefeng sitting at the desk looking at him with a smile.Wei Han hurried forward to salute and said, "Disciple, I'm impolite. I only came to see the teacher at this time."

Lin Juefeng laughed loudly and said, "Satomi is really a well-behaved child, but fortunately you only come in the afternoon, if you come in the morning, the old man hasn't woken up yet."

Wei Han immediately pretended to be embarrassed and said, "It's good that the teacher is not angry."

Seeing Wei Han's embarrassment, Lin Juefeng was even happier, he said: "Satomi, you can pass the examination at the age of 16, you are really better than the old man, it is amazing for the old man to have you as a disciple good luck."

Is it a bit too much to boast about yourself?Wei Han's face was almost red, Wei Han said: "How can the disciple compare with the teacher, the teacher passed the exam back then to understand Yuan, the disciple is still far behind."

"It's a good thing to be young and mature." Lin Juefeng stroked his beard and said, "I was afraid that you would lose your true nature when you were young."

Wei Han said: "My disciple has been weak and sick since he was a child. He can only read books when he has nothing to do. It seems that he works harder than others. This time he only got fourth place. There is really nothing to be proud of."

Lin Juefeng raised his eyebrows and said: "It seems that you are very dissatisfied with getting the No. 4 Asian Yuan in the exam? You are very ambitious. Why don't you come to my house to study before you can take the exam. Your brother is also a teacher. Not yours."

If I come to your house to study, then I won't reveal my secrets?Wei Han immediately said: "No, no, that... this disciple is weak, and seeing that the weather is getting colder, it is not suitable for me to go out."

"Oh." Lin Juefeng also sighed regretfully: "Your body is a troublesome thing, since that's the case, let it go."

Lin Juefeng asked Wei Han to sit down and taste tea with Wei Han. He said, "This is the Longjing tea from Ming Dynasty sent from Hangzhou this year. You can try it."

Wei Han picked up his teacup and took a sip, but it didn't taste any different from other teas.It's as if he would never be able to tell the difference between a wine worth tens of dollars and a wine worth thousands of dollars when he drank.

But fortunately, Lin Juefeng had already told him what kind of tea it was before drinking, otherwise he wouldn't dare to talk nonsense.Wei Han narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a look of aftertaste: "This tea has a strong aroma, glycosides and refreshing taste."

He opened his eyes to look at the tea leaves again, and praised: "The color is emerald green, the shape is like a sparrow's tongue, it is really the best Longjing tea."

"Hahaha, it seems that Limei is also a tea lover." Lin Juefeng said with a smile: "This Dragon Well tea is this year's tribute tea, and the old man got it from the emperor's gift. I wonder if General Wei likes to drink this tea?"

That guy Wei Liao usually drank plain water, Wei Han said: "My brother is a rough man, he doesn't pay much attention to tea."

"Oh." Lin Juefeng drank tea with a smile, and asked casually, "The Emperor has rewarded King Wu a lot of tea. I heard that King Wu and General Wei have a good relationship. Didn't he give some to General Wei to try?"

Wei Han felt that there was something wrong with his words, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with it, so he said, "This disciple doesn't know, I have never drunk this tea at home."

After that, Lin Juefeng stopped talking about this matter, but chatted with Wei Han with a smile on his face. Thanks to him, Wei Han was no longer so blind to the court affairs.

He rejected Lin Juefeng's invitation to have dinner together, and returned to the Wei Mansion exhausted physically and mentally. He was too tired talking to that old fox, and he would reveal his secrets if he was not careful.

At dinner in the evening, Wei Liao picked food for Wei Han and said, "Isn't it just to drink tea and chat, why do you look like you have fought with someone for [-] rounds?"

"It's just three hundred rounds of fighting." Wei Han sipped the vegetable soup and said, "It's too much effort to talk to that old fox Lin Juefeng, you have to guess, you can't just listen to his superficial words."

Wei Liao put down his job and said, "Really? What did he say?"

"He asked me if King Wu gave you tea." Wei Han stroked his chin and said, "The key is that he didn't ask directly, but asked in a roundabout way. I think he is very suspicious."

"It's really suspicious." Wei Liao said: "Everyone in the capital knows that since the death of the crown prince, Wu Wang and Yan Wang have been secretly fighting for the position of heir. I didn't want to get involved, but Wu Wang always showed me favors. The last time I went to Wu Wangfu to see you was also dragged away by his henchmen."

"So that's how it is." Wei Han rolled his eyes and said, "Is Lin Juefeng a member of King Wu?"

"No." Wei Liao said, "Lin Juefeng has always been very shameless about King Wu's raising male favorites. He even joined King Wu in front of the emperor. He is definitely not from King Wu."

"That's King Yan's man."

"Not really." Wei Liao frowned and said, "I didn't see how good his relationship with King Yan is."

"People who are not from King Yan, why do you want to inquire about your relationship with King Wu?" Wei Han said, "I think it is impossible for you to remain neutral. Draw it to your side."

Wei Liao poured himself a glass of wine and said, "If I really take refuge in someone, then my death will come soon, the emperor can't let me participate in the seizure of the heir apparent."

Wei Han smiled and said: "The reason why Lin Juefeng showed his favor to me is probably to win you over through me. You don't have to worry too much, what I am best at is talking to people and talking nonsense, he can't What will you do to me?"

In the following days, Wei Han declared to the outside world that he was ill, and that he was seriously ill, unable to go out or meet guests, and blocked several invitations and visits.

This feigning of illness lasted until the spring of the second year, when Wei Han spent the first Spring Festival since crossing in Wei Mansion.At that time, he was thinking that if he hadn't bribed the housekeeper of Wu Wang's mansion, and the housekeeper wouldn't let him serve in the living room, then he wouldn't have met Wei Liao.Then at this time, he might still be in the backyard of Prince Wu's Mansion, betting and gossiping with those male pets all day long, and still thinking wholeheartedly about how to make money and how to escape.

Wei Liao entered Wei Han's room with a chill all over his body, and he opened his mouth and said, "I'm going to try it in a few days, do you want to prepare something?"

Wei Han closed his eyes in pain, and said, "I want spices, lots and lots of spices."

Wei Liao: "...OK."

The scene at the gate of the Gongyuan this time is similar to that of the rural examination, the only difference is the people.The candidates for the provincial examination were all from the vicinity of Kyoto, but this time the candidates for the general examination were gathered from all over the country.Each of them is a juren and can be a parent official.

Looking around, young men have it, and pulsatillas also have it.Some people have been taking the imperial examination for a lifetime, and finally pass the exam when they are old, and some people can't pass the imperial examination all their lives.Wei Han felt a little heavy, he jumped off the carriage and said to Wei Liao, "Go back, I will take the salute myself."

The previous inspection work was similar to that of the original rural examination, and it was not the first time for Wei Han, let alone this is his home field.After he entered, he was issued an examination number, Que No. [-].

Well... it's further back than last time.
