062 Future layout
Chen Yichen took the money to buy a pot of rice wine and some meat, but hesitated on the way back and returned to Chengguo Gongshu, waiting for Zhao Hongjie and others who were about to finish school.
Although Chen Yichen's personality cannot be fully integrated into the world of this group of half-baby boys, friendship has nothing to do with age or identity. Over the past six months, he can personally feel Zhao Hongjie's emphasis on himself.
In addition, although there were some frictions and barriers in the early stage, they have basically been resolved. Even if they didn’t deliberately make friends for the sake of the connections of generals, Li Da also has the advantages of credit, loyalty, etc., and is considered the more reliable group among the second generation of officials.
Besides, I have become the nominal boss of this group of people. I don’t tell them about this kind of thing during the trial, and it’s unreasonable to invite them to have a celebration banquet at home.
Before waiting for a long time, there were children from the outer courtyards and private schools walking out of the corner gate of Duke Cheng’s Mansion. When Zhao Hongjie and others saw Chen Yichen standing in the alley, they first showed a look of surprise, and then surrounded him.
"Boss, aren't you taking the exam for the government? Why are you here at the private school?"
"Yichen, why are you doing with food in your hand? Could it be that you didn't go to the exam?"
"Impossible, my brother is the head of the case. There is a high probability that the government test will be scored. Why not take the exam?"
"Boss, listen to me. We were all planning to go to the examination room to help you cheer, but Mr. He didn't approve us of the fake, which is so regretful!"
Faced with these verbal comments, Chen Yichen believed the other words, just that he wanted to ask for leave to help him cheer him up, but he was extremely unbelievable.
If we can really take leave successfully, it would be strange if these guys don’t go out to play by themselves!
"I handed in the paper in advance by the prefecture test, and the prefect has been picked up by the prefecture. I am here to invite you to the celebration banquet."
When they heard Chen Yichen take the lead in advance again, the group of people were stunned. Because the county exam was selected as the head of the case, it was beyond their imagination. This time, his brain was overloaded.
"Really or not?"
"Dare you dare to question your elder brother? You won the winner if you say you won the winner!"
"Brother is very talented. What can I do if I take the test for a small mansion?"
"That's right, even if you win the No. 1 pick, you have to believe it now!"
After reacting, the group of young men from the outer courtyard began to talk and praise again, but this was heard in Shen Yichen's ears. Why do you feel that these guys are blaming themselves for high-level...
Chen Yichen was too lazy to explain more to them, so he turned around and walked towards the exit of the alley. When he saw that the boss had left, he naturally came to an end to the end of the discussion and flattery. A group of people immediately followed.
In Chen Yichen's small villa, the aunts next door have already started to help Shen set up tables.
Over the years, there has never been any wedding banquet in the courtyard, nor has it been as lively as it is today. Shen saw it and sighed a lot.
"Mom, maybe I have to set up an extra table, so I brought some classmates to celebrate."
Hearing Chen Yichen's shouting outside the courtyard gate, Shen looked up and found that his son had returned with the bought rice wine and food, with six or seven classmates following him.
"Okay, come in and sit quickly. Mom will go and prepare now."
Shen's face was filled with joy. Not only was there a guest at home, but she was even more happy that her son could make friends in the private school, and was no longer the isolated one.
Because Chen Yichen has never brought other classmates to the house except Zhao Hongjie. Shen has also stayed in the courtyard of the high house, and he knows very well why his son's identity is incompatible with those relatives and the children of officials.
Now that so many classmates come to their house for drinking, it naturally means that Chen Yichen is accepted by everyone. How can he be unhappy as a mother?
It was just the next scene that made Shen realize that his son was probably not just accepted...
Li Da, Zhao Hongjie and others stood in front of Shen after entering the courtyard, and then bowed and shouted: "Greetings to Aunt!"
If you don't know this attitude, you would think that you recognized your elder brother in later generations of young and dandy movies. It really scared Shen Shi, and her eyes looked at Chen Yichen with mixed joys and sorrows.
Chen Yichen next to him also felt a headache when he saw this.
After all, they are old school children who have been studying for several years. Why can’t they see a little bit of literati and elegant atmosphere? They are completely in a social style. It seems that the fathers of this group of people asked them to learn literature may be the most wrong decision in their lives!
"Okay~ OK~ OK, sit down quickly, Chen'er, please call your classmates too."
Shen quickly waved his hand to signal Li Da and others to take their seats, and don’t scrub the row of stations together. Others who don’t know about it thought that their home was at the top of the mountain.
At the same time, Shen also vaguely understood why his son has not passed the exam for so many years. Could it be that this is the legendary person who is close to Zhu, and the person who is close to Mo is black?
After taking the seat, with the help of the aunt next door, the dishes were served very quickly, and soon the guests on both tables started to eat and drink happily.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Da suddenly came to Chen Yichen's ear and said, "Brother, today I will tell you good news. My father at home agreed to join the army in the capital and may be about to set off soon."
Listening to Li Da being the eldest brother and for his brother, Chen Yichen understood that this kid must have been a little drunk. However, he could still remember the incident of going to the capital to join the army. It seemed that he had always dreamed of joining the army.
"Then I wish you all the best here and see you in the capital in the future."
This time, Chen Yichen did not have any complaint mentality, but was moved to true feelings. In ancient times, the roads were far away, and I don’t know when and when we meet again today.
After saying that, he raised his glass and sipped it all.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to go to Beijing to take the exam, and I'll set foot in the Golden Palace in the future!"
Li Da was also in a state of emotion, and he picked up the wine glass on the table and stuffed it.
"Yichen, what if I join the army too?"
When Zhao Hongjie heard Li Da say that he was leaving, he felt a lot of emotion. Now that the three musketeers at the bottom of the school in the outer courtyard are the only one of them. It is not enough to continue in such a daze. He has to think about a way out.
Don’t wait until you look at the school in the future. There are all unfamiliar backward students, and there are no more familiar figures.
To be honest, although Zhao Hongjie is also a son of a military general, Chen Yichen is not very optimistic about him when he wants to join the army.
Now that the Ming Dynasty's garrison system is gradually deteriorating, only the north and the Beijing camp are left to see, and their combat effectiveness has also declined sharply. Especially in the 14th year of Zhengtong, the Ming Dynasty's army would encounter a catastrophe. With Zhao Hongjie's personality and physique, it is a problem whether he can return from outside the pass alive.
But on the road to the imperial examination, Zhao Hongjie was even more desperate. He has not even learned the content of elementary school for so many years, which is even more unreliable than joining the army.
The best result is nothing more than his father Zhao Tongzhi's success, to see if he can be grateful to the students. The key is that Zhao Hongjie is a concubine son, and he has many brothers, so he doesn't have so many places to honor.
Chen Yichen thought about it carefully and said that he was on the road of joining the army, but he did not have to fight a war with a low risk factor.
Soon Chen Yichen's mind suddenly appeared and he wanted a path that met the requirements. However, whether Zhao Hongjie could adapt, he was out of reach.
"Zhao Hongjie, what if you join the army and enter the North and South Governors and Fushi?"
"Embroidered Uniform Guard?"
When Zhao Hongjie heard the name of the Fufu Department, he immediately thought of the term Jinyiwei.
During the orthodox period of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, it happened to be in the stage of the rise of power of the Jinyiwei, and its scope of power began to expand. It was able to report to the emperor directly without passing through other departments, becoming a complete personal army of the emperor.
But the problem is that the reputation of the Jinyiwei in the folk is not very good, especially the imperial prison under the jurisdiction of the Beizhen Fushi Office, which has always been known as the destruction of loyalty and kindness. The Hanlin scholar Liu Qiu died in the imperial prison last year?
"Yes, Jinyiwei."
"This...this is not suitable for me, right?"
When Zhao Hongjie thought of the bloody scenes of execution and execution in prison, he couldn't help but tremble. Although he was a child of a military general, he really didn't have the courage.
If anything, Li Da wouldn't have been despised for so long.
"If you are afraid, you can enter the Nanzhen Fu Office and be in charge of the law, military discipline, and supervision responsibilities."
Chen Yichen naturally understood Zhao Hongjie's character. The factory and security methods of the Beizhen Fushi were indeed not suitable for him.
Relatively speaking, the Jinyiwei of the Nanzhen Fushishi was more similar to the "gendant police" and became a idle position in the later stage, and there was basically no big problem.
Of course, from the perspective of selfishness, if Zhao Hongjie joins the Beizhen Fushi and has his own familiar old friends in the spy agency in the future, the help he will bring is immeasurable.
But Chen Yichen would not use his friends as chess pieces to lay out, because such people would usually betray everyone in the end, and no one was trustworthy. Therefore, the choice is still in the hands of Zhao Hongjie, and he still has to decide how to go about the future.
"I see."
Zhao Hongjie did not say how he made a choice, but after he finished speaking, he also poured a big glass of wine.
The celebration meal was eaten until night fell before the end. Just as Shen Yichen was about to pack up the tables and chairs, he found that Aunt Yang, next to the gate of the yard, had not left, and her son Zeng Aniu was standing next to her.
"Aunt Yang, what else do you have?"
Chen Yichen walked over and asked, it was obvious that he had something to say.
Sure enough, facing Chen Yichen's inquiry, Aunt Yang showed an embarrassed smile on her face and said hesitantly: "Yichen, you are promising to become a Wenqu star now, and I also want to trouble you to help me with some things."
"Aunt Yang, but it's okay."
Chen Yichen did not refuse. Over the years, the mother and son lived in this yard. To be honest, the neighbors helped a lot. Even when he was a child, his mother was too busy selling cloths, so he often had dinner at Aunt Yang's house.
A drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water. Don’t say that you have not yet turned over, even if you return home in glory today, Chen Yichen will not forget the kindness that has helped you.
"It's my son A Niu. He is about to be twenty next year. He has no other ability except to farm and has no other ability. Now his wife has not been asked for it."
"Yichen If you know any great official, I will give you a hand. As long as I can find a wife, I will feel at ease."
Hearing this, Chen Yichen laughed silently. What are the requirements? I am a bachelor myself, where can I help your son find a wife?
What are the names of Wenquxing among literati as polite? Aunt Yang may really regard herself as a "Wenquxing"...
