Those who are involved in the officialdom are all talented people, so County Magistrate Zhao certainly understands the purpose of the governor showing him this article.

This is what the governor admires Xu Yan and instructs him to support this young man more!

In fact, even if Governor Zhu did not hint, Zhao County Magistrate was ready to train Xu Yan for a child.

With such a young age, he is gifted and his future must be limitless. Zhao Magistrate recommended Xu Yan at this time. Will Xu Yan still forget his mentor when he becomes successful in the future?

Besides, culture and education are also an important indicator for examining local officials. In terms of imperial examination achievements, Ningbo Prefecture is not as good as Hangzhou and Shaoxing. It is difficult for a seedling to appear, so naturally one must be cultivated carefully.

However, at this moment, what Zhao County Magistrate most hopes is that the governor can leave Dinghai County earlier. After all, there is such a big Buddha pressing on his head, and he has to be careful in every move. It is really boring!

Two flowers bloom, each with one branch.

However, Xu Yan was not impetuous and inflated after making a comeback in front of Governor Zhu Wan, but reviewed and read at home every day.

He estimated that the county trials that were postponed due to the Japanese attack will be held soon. If you want to go far on the road of imperial examinations, you must have enough strength in addition to having strong background relationships.

After his integration and summary over the years, he wrote many possible questions on the small cards. Taking a look at them in his spare time can help him better clarify his ideas. With Xu Yan's current strength, it should be no problem to deal with the county examination.

Of course, you have to take a break when you are tired of studying. Only by combining work and rest can you maximize the efficiency of reading.

"Young Master, open your mouth."

Taochun used a celadon spoon to deliver a peeled grape to his young master's mouth. Xu Yan opened his mouth and let Taochun put the spoon into his mouth very much. With just a sucking, he felt a refreshing coolness appear in his mouth.

There is an ice cellar in the backyard of Xu Mansion. It was midsummer grapes, watermelon and other fruits were all frozen, so the taste was excellent.

At this moment, Xu Yan truly realized how comfortable and beautiful this decadent life was as a young man from the feudal dynasty.

"Taochun, help me press my head."

The little girl responded lightly, ran to the basin to wash, wiped it with a handkerchief, and then took a few more steps back to Xu Yan.

At this moment, Xu Yan had adjusted his posture and closed his eyes and waited for Taochun to massage.

After Xu Yan's training for these days, the little girl has already gained a general understanding of the basic acupoints of the human body.

I saw her slender plain hands pointing on Xu Yan's temple, and then gently massaged it.

Unfortunately, Xu Yan was interrupted by an anxious cry before he had enjoyed it for a long time.

"Young Master, the master told you to go to the study room to see him quickly."

Xu Yan opened his eyes and saw that it was indeed a double happiness. He wondered what his father was looking for him at this time.

Parents should not ease their parents' destiny and not be lazy. This is a truth that children know. Although Xu Yan was a little depressed at this moment, he still stood up without hesitation and prepared to go to see his father.

If you want to say that Xu Yan's father Xu Huaiyuan is a complete workaholic.

After Xu Huaiyuan returned to Dinghai County, except for the first few days when the Xu family and his son were able to sit down and talk, he was basically busy with business matters and sometimes even slept directly in the shop. It was so difficult for Xu Yan to meet his father in the past half month.

Now Xu Yan has the opportunity and has to persuade his father. After all, money can be earned slowly, and it will be too unworthy if he gets tired.

But Xu Yan came to his father's cross-yard with a familiarity. Seeing his father standing in front of the study, he waved to him a few steps forward and bowed, "Son, please pay me a blessing to my father."

"Come on, come in and say."

Seeing that Xu Huaiyuan's face was a little haggard, Xu Yan felt very distressed and thought to himself that he would advise his father to rest more after a while.

But the Xu family and his son entered the house one after another. Xu Huaiyuan immediately closed the door and then sighed.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Xu Huaiyuan subconsciously swallowed and spitted.

"Son, something happened to your grandfather."

"What!"

Xu Yan couldn't believe his ears.

Xu Huaiyuan shook his head and said, "It's just now that your father has just received the news. Your grandfather has been falsely imprisoned for offending the eunuch of Hangzhou weaving. Your mother cried when she learned about it. Although her father was heartbroken, she couldn't help. After thinking about it, she still felt that she should tell you this news."

At this moment, Xu Yan's heart was in chaos.

His mother, Xu Chen, came from the Chen family in Qiantang, and his cheap grandfather Chen Han was a famous wealthy businessman in Hangzhou. Unlike the Xu family, the Chen family only does silk business and is an imperial merchant.

The royal merchants do look extremely glamorous, and the hidden risks are also extremely high.

Isn't something wrong now?

"Dad, don't worry, why did my grandfather offend the eunuch Sun? Is there room for improvement in the matter?"

Although Xu Yan was anxious at this moment, he still tried to calm himself down. After all, there was no way to solve the problem. Now only by understanding the truth of the matter can we respond in a targeted manner.

"This is a letter written by your uncle, please take a look."

Xu Huaiyuan took out a letter from home and handed it to his son.

Xu Yan took a deep breath, took out the letter paper and opened it to see it.

The letter was not long, but it was concise to point out that Chen Han had a disagreement with Hangzhou weaving eunuch Sun Qing because of the delivery time of a batch of silk, which angered Sun Qing and was falsely imprisoned.

After reading the letter, Xu Yan felt a little calmer.

"Father, if it was really as written in my uncle's letter, it would be easier."

Xu Huaiyuan was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "Son, your grandfather offended the eunuch in Hangzhou. Even if he gave away much money, it would be useless."

No matter whether it is the Xu family or the Chen family, they are among the best wealthy merchants under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang, if they have money, they have it. But in Xu Huaiyuan's opinion, this is not a problem of money at all.

Xu Yan shook his head and said, "Father, my uncle only said in the letter that my grandfather was falsely imprisoned, right?"

Xu Huaiyuan nodded.

"Since I'm just being jailed, without interrogation or conviction, there's still a chance."

Xu Yan paused for a moment and then continued: "My son begs to go to Hangzhou Prefecture with his father to deal with this matter."

"You have a way?"

If it were a few months ago, Xu Huaiyuan would definitely not believe it. But his son's actions in the past few months really surprised him. Even the county master and Futai Lord praised him very much.

In the current situation, he is more willing to believe that his son has a way to deal with this matter.

"I dare not say that I have a clear chance of winning, but I still have seven points."

Xu Yan said firmly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Huaiyuan's heart ignited hope again.

Lao Taishan treats him well. The Xu family’s ability to have today is related to Lao Taishan’s support. Now that Lao Taishan is in trouble, even if there is only a glimmer of hope for rescue, Xu Huaiyuan is willing to give it a try.
