Volume B, Chapter 32: Shen (ninth update!)

 Jun Yong, things of the same kind gather people into groups. Although Chongzheng Academy has a good academic style, there are inevitably some dandy boys who are arrogant and coquettish. I still regret that I should send you to Qingtan Academy to endure hardships." Middle-aged man

He shook his head, but times had changed and it was meaningless to say this.

"Dad, I don't think Qingtan Academy is that good. Even the martial arts disciples can go there..." The young man was a little unconvinced.

"What a bastard!" The middle-aged man raised his thick eyebrows, "What do you know? How can an ignorant young man like you understand what the Feng family is doing in Shandong?"

Seeing that her father was angry, the girl quickly softened her cheeks and said, "Jun Yong, don't talk nonsense. Everyone in the Shandong Pingluan court was full of praise. If not for this, how could Zhang Fuzun of Dongchang Prefecture be promoted back to the capital, and how could his father go to Dongchang Prefecture?"

?”

Seeing that the young man was still a little unconvinced, the middle-aged man was also a little worried.

He also knew that although his son was extremely smart and had no problem studying, he was young and did not have as much contact with current affairs as other officials' children. This was becoming more and more of a problem now.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man felt that he might have to give more advice in the next step. Looking at the adjustment direction of the imperial court's autumn and spring affairs, policy theory will become more and more important in the future. This is the general direction and trend.

There will be no big problem with my son's pregnancy in the autumn of the next year, but it's hard to say in the spring. We have to help him make up for it. Even if he fails to pass the exam, he still has to strive to win the Jinshi in the next subject. The children of the Shen family in Wujiang cannot be like their own son.

A generation has fallen into the family tradition.

"You can make good friends with Jun Yong, Yang Wenruo, the Hou brothers, and others, and learn more from them." The middle-aged man sighed, "Chongzheng Academy has Fang Ge's guidance, which is not bad, but Qingtan Academy

In many aspects, they are not bad either. Han Jing, Lian Guoshi and Xu Xie are not bad in any of them. They are all popular candidates for the top three universities in Chunwei, not even inferior to Jinling Baima Academy and Chongwen Academy. Feng Keng can enter Qingtan Academy.

, do you think it’s that simple? Brother Ru Jun is not someone who recommends people easily, there must be deep meaning in it.”

"Daddy?" The girl looked over with surprised eyes through the curtains of her hat.

Qiao Yingjia, Lin Ruhai, and Shen Ju are all in the same department, but Lin Ruhai is a third-level scholar, while Qiao Yingjia is a second-level Jinshi, and Shen Jue is a third-level Jinshi.

Qiao Yingjia was from the north, but he didn't have much prejudice against the southerners, so Shen Jue and Qiao Yingjia were from the same school and had some friendship. On the contrary, although Lin Ruhai and Shen Jue were from the same hometown in Suzhou, they had a similar relationship with Shen Jue.

Although Gai Yinlin Ruhai was born in the top three, he took a different path. Although he was favored by the emperor, he distanced himself from many civil servants who claimed to have character.

Everyone knows what this means as a salt inspector, and they have been working for many years and have won the favor of the Holy Family. However, it is a bit embarrassing that the new emperor has succeeded to the throne.

It would be a lie to say that Shen Jue was not at all envious of Lin Ruhai's situation before.

Since entering the official career, who doesn’t want to be promoted step by step to a higher position and do a bigger career?

To be loyal to the emperor and the people and to create peace for all generations is the ultimate goal of being a scholar and civil servant, but sometimes you can't help yourself.

"Brother Ru Jun has the highest regard for this son. He frankly said that this son may have some shortcomings in the classics, but in the future he may have the ability to be a businessman." Shen Jue hesitated before saying this to his daughter and son.

Shen Jue also went to visit Qiao Yingjia after learning that he had been promoted to the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture.

Qiao Yingjia was still serving as the censor of the patrol at this time, but there were already rumors about his next move. There were rumors that he would go to the Ministry of Works to serve as the right minister, and there were also rumors that he would also serve as the censor of the Zuoqiandu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. There are rumors that he is going to Nanjing to serve as the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Because Qiao Yingjia's collaboration with Li Sancai during this trip to Shandong to quell the chaos was well received, and Shen Jue was going to serve as the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture in the center of the civil unrest this time, so it was inevitable to talk about Shandong. When he arrived at Feng Keng, Qiao Yingjia was full of praise and impressed Shen Jue deeply.

Who could make Qiao Yingjia praise him so highly? It was just his age that surprised Shen Jue.

Fang Qiao Shang Ren, what kind of evaluation is this? Fang Xuanling was the prime minister of the former Tang Dynasty. Needless to say, Shang Ren was also a great scholar of the Jinshen Palace and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in the former Ming Dynasty. He was a real cabinet elder. This kind of evaluation comes from Qiao Yingjia's words were so serious that Shen Jue couldn't believe it.

Shen Jue's words also shocked her daughter and son as soon as they came out. This comment was too exaggerated. Even if Qiao Yingjia admired this son, he shouldn't have made such a comment.

"Jun Yong, Wan Jun, I've heard these words before." Shen Jue pondered for a moment, "Although Brother Ru Jun is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to show that this boy is not simple. If Jun Yong has the opportunity in the future, he can also get to know someone. Fan."

"Father, this Feng Keng is a student of Qingtan Academy." Shen Zizheng couldn't help but said: "And he is also a disciple of Wu Xun."

"So what? If you are limited by the opinions of the family, don't you limit yourself? Is your Chongzheng Academy so open-minded? Or are you short-sighted and narrow-minded?" Shen Jue couldn't help but said: "If that's true, then you won't read the books in Chongzheng Academy. Whatever."

Seeing that his father was a little angry, the young man did not dare to speak anymore. However, the girl comforted her father: "Dad, there is no need to be so angry. I wonder how the famous Chongzheng Academy could be so narrow-minded?"

"Well, people flock together and birds of a feather flock together. If you make friends with those who have lofty ideals, you will have the opportunity to make progress. Even if your political views are different, you can still treat each other as gentlemen." Shen Jue took a deep look at his family. Son, "I believe people like Yang Wenruo and the Hou brothers will agree with my point of view."

"Dad, let's go. I've heard for a long time that the vineyard of Dahuguo Temple is famous among the capital, but I haven't seen it yet. Today I finally fulfilled my long-cherished wish." Knowing that her father has high hopes for her younger brother, the girl smiled and changed this somewhat heavy topic. , moved lightly, following behind his father, followed by several servants behind him.

Shen Jue naturally understood what his extremely intelligent daughter meant, so he said no more, nodded, and moved forward.

Shen Zizheng made a face to his sister and breathed a sigh of relief. Whenever he felt embarrassed in front of his father, it was his sister who protected him. This had become a habit.

The two groups of people almost stepped into the Dahuguo Temple with their front feet and back feet. At this time, the number of visitors to the Dahuguo Temple was gradually increasing.

After Lin Daiyu and Tan Chun stepped into Dahuguo Temple together, they were a little overwhelmed.

There are many people offering incense and praying at Dahuguo Temple. Most citizens go straight to the main hall to pray, but scholars and students prefer to visit the vineyards.

Fortunately, the vineyard is large enough, and the weather is very good. The grassy slope forest corridor next to the vineyard is also well planned. It is worthy of being a first-class temple in the capital, and it also attracts many tourists.

Tanchun soon noticed that the girl next to him was distracted.

She found it boring to offer incense and pray for blessings because there were too many people. She found it boring to chant sutras and worship Buddha. So what was the point of coming to the Dahuguo Temple?

There isn't much scenery in the Dahuguo Temple, except for the vineyard, but the vineyard seems a bit aloof to the two of them, right?

I was a little unsure of what Sister Lin was thinking, but Tanchun was still happy to slip out for a while.

It is not that easy to come out of the house. The ancestors really care about Sister Lin. If she wants to come to offer incense, she will immediately ask the second sister-in-law to assign a vehicle. If it had been someone else, she would have been kicked back. .

"Sister Lin, why don't we go to the Vajra Hall to have a look? I heard that the Vajra Bodhisattva there is so powerful and ferocious that it is the best statue in the capital. Why don't you go? The Heavenly King's Hall is quite interesting too, huh?..."

Just walking leisurely like this, the small vendors over there saw two ladies with their maids coming out, and they had already begun to shout. The ancient cypresses surrounding the hexagonal stele pavilion were filled with people.

"This Shi Suan Ni is really majestic, but I don't know why it's leaning to one side? Sister Lin, why don't we eat some? This Ai Wo Wo is famous. I ate them all here last year. It also had pea yellow and turned into scum in the mouth... …”

Hearing the noise of the girl next to her, Lin Daiyu was also upset.

Brother Feng must have arrived, but how to get around this girl and Mrs. Xia behind them is really a troublesome thing.

I definitely don't want to meet him from a distance like this. At least I want to talk to him for a while and ask him what life is like in the academy.

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu felt a little envious. No matter what, she could at least have a lot of classmates together to discuss the classics and discuss current affairs. Then her life would be much better than living in the mansion all day long.

"You can eat whatever you want, don't look at me, haven't you always said before every month that you can't go out and spend money?" Daiyu glanced at the girl and said with a straight face.

"Sister Lin, with my little possessions, sometimes I have to ask people to go out to buy some pens, inks, paper and inkstones. There are not many left, how can I compare with you, sister." Tan Chun smiled and held Daiyu's arm. , "Just buy some, and I'll try some with your glory."

"You're just greedy. There are so many delicious foods in the house. Isn't that enough?" Daiyu twisted her body, not wanting to pay attention to the brown candy, and curled her lips.

"Sister Lin, that's different. The things in the house are the same every year, and there is no change in the food in the back room. Besides, it tastes the same every year. After eating it for so many years, I'm tired of it."

Tanchun looked at the dazzling variety of snacks along the way and drank them, exuding various aromas, and he was already extremely greedy.

Daiyu looked around and couldn't find a suitable reason to send this girl away. Moreover, even if she was sent away, Mrs. Xia was specially sent by Sister-in-law Lian to follow her because she was afraid of herself and Tan Yatou.

No matter what happens, I will definitely not let myself get out of her sight.

"Zicuckoo, go buy some snacks, plug this greedy girl's mouth, and also get some for Granny Xia and the others. We must be tired after walking around for such a long time."

"Hey, thank you Miss Lin for your kindness. The old lady caught up today and took advantage of Miss Lin and the third girl."

When Granny Xia heard Lin Daiyu's words about Granny Xia, she was so happy that she almost grinned to the back of her head.

It was said that Miss Lin was usually aloof and cold, spoke with a sharp tongue and used no curse words. In addition, she was favored by her ancestors and had a father who was a high official in her hometown, so the servants in the house were a little afraid of this girl.

Fortunately, Zijuan was approached by the old lady, and she was a kind-hearted person, so if anything happened, she would tell Zijuan first and ask Zijuan to help make peace. When we met today, Lin was a little surprised.

Girls are not as difficult to deal with as imagined.

Zijuan naturally knew the reason why the girl was so generous and easy to talk to today, but she couldn't stop her girl's thoughts and could only accompany her step by step.

Fortunately, this is inside the Daigokoku Temple, and people come and go. Even if you bump into someone "by chance", it's normal, right?

But he may not be able to hide it from the shrewd third girl.
