With the Qinhuai Silent Talk about the Setting Sun, which did not even have a title, Shen Yi of Jiangdu became famous and spread almost throughout the capital.
This reputation has even spread to the ears of some court officials.
For example, take Zhao Changping, the Minister of Household Affairs.
As the Minister of Household Affairs, Zhao Changping was busy with work on weekdays. Although he was born in the second place, at this time, Zhao Changping had no time to write or write, let alone pay attention to the Shangyuan Poetry Society.
Therefore, Shen Yi's poem never reached his ears.
Until Zhang Jian, the magistrate of Jiangdu, visited the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Originally, it was impossible for a county magistrate to enter the Hubu Yamen without an appointment from the Hubu officials. However, Mr. Zhang’s background was too strong. There was an old man who was the prime minister and a teacher who was the Minister of Hubu, so it was like this. He entered the Ministry of Household Affairs openly and came to the public house of Minister Zhao of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
At this time, Magistrate Zhang entered Zhao Changping's cell with two paper bags in his hand and smiled. He first put down the paper bags, and then bowed to Zhao Changping respectfully.
"Meet the teacher."
Zhao Changping was dealing with official business at the moment. After hearing Zhang Jian's voice, he raised his head and glanced at his student, then at the paper bag on his desk, with a faint smile on his face: "Yi An Didn’t you go back to Jiangdu to take up a post at the age of sixteen? It’s only been a few days, why are you back to the capital again?”
"Grandma is not in good health. Just a few days after the disciple returned to Jiangxi, she became seriously ill and had to come back for a visit. The student has already asked Chen Fuzun and the Ministry of Civil Affairs to take half a year's leave to spend more time with him in the capital. grandmother."
Zhang Jian's grandfather is one of the prime ministers of the Zhongshu Provincial Council, and his grandmother is naturally the first wife of Prime Minister Zhang.
After hearing these words, Minister Zhao frowned slightly: "Is the old lady okay?"
"The student came back early in the morning. After seeing my grandmother, she is much better now."
Speaking of this, Magistrate Zhang sighed slightly: "Since childhood, the old man has loved his disciple the most. When the disciple left Jiangdu, the old lady couldn't bear it."
Hearing that the old lady was okay, the expression on Zhao Shilang's face relaxed a little. He looked at the paper bag on his desk and said with a smile: "You are a seventh-grade county magistrate. You brought things upright and came to the Ministry of Household Affairs to give me a gift." ,Aren’t you afraid that the censor will interfere with you?”
"This is Jiangdu's square cake."
Zhang Jian smiled heartily and said, "I heard from Uncle Lu that the teacher likes this, so the disciple brought some over."
Minister Zhao nodded slightly, pointed to the chair opposite him, and said, "Pour yourself some tea, then sit down and talk."
Zhang Jian nodded quickly, got up and poured tea for Minister Zhao and himself, then sat opposite Zhao Changping and said with a smile: "I just returned to the capital and heard that our Ganquan Academy has another famous person in the capital."
Zhao Shilang had just picked up the tea cup. Hearing this, his movements stopped. He looked at Zhang Jian and asked, "Who is this famous person?"
Zhang Jian was very surprised: "Teacher, don't you know?"
Zhao Shilang shook his head slightly and said in a rather helpless tone: "At the beginning of the year, the Household Department was extremely busy. As you know, Liu Shangshu is getting older, and many things are weighing on me. During this time, I almost live in the household. I haven’t even been home a few times.”
Hearing what the teacher said, Zhang Jian smiled: "Old Liu is so old, and he still occupies the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I want my disciples to ask someone to beat this old man up one day.
He obediently resigned and returned to his hometown, handing over the position of Minister to the teacher, and the errands of the Ministry of Revenue will be relieved."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Zhao Shilang glared at his disciple who liked to joke, and then slowly said: "You just said that there is another famous person in our Ganquan Academy. What's going on?"
Zhang Jian then told Zhao Changping the whole story he had heard, then read the poem again and said softly: "Teacher,
When I was at home just now, my brother said that this poem has two endings, one ending was recited by the disciple just now, and the other ending was..."
"Who will lament the rise and fall?"
Zhang Jian said slowly: "But this second ending can only be heard among the officials and disciples in Jiankang City. It is hard to tell whether it is true or false, but..."
The Jiangdu County Magistrate smiled and said: "But this disciple Shen Yi and Shen Qilang have met him when he was in Jiangdu. He was still a student of Master Lu. At that time, the disciple saw that this man was honest and honest, and he didn't expect Shi Cai to be like this.
Well, as soon as I arrived in the capital, a poem caused a sensation in Jiankang, and even alarmed..."
"It alarmed His Majesty."
"Students from Jizhong..."
Minister Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, thoughtfully.
Jizhong is the cousin of Lu Anshi.
Zhang Jian also smiled and said, "When the teacher is free, would you like to meet this Shen Qilang?"
Zhao Shilang was silent for a while and shook his head slightly: "The household department will be busy for at least another month. During this time, there is really no free time for the teacher. Besides, since he came to Jiankang to take the exam, he has to prepare for the exam. See you later.
He's just a distraction."
"Let's wait until the hospital has tried it before we talk."
Zhao Shilang seemed to be thinking about Shen Yi when he said this, but as a disciple, Zhang Jian knew very well that if Shen Yi couldn't pass the college examination, he would never be able to meet Zhao Changping, his "fellow disciple".
Having said this, Zhao Changping looked at Zhang Jian, who was sitting opposite him, and said calmly: "But Yi An, you have some free time. If you have nothing to do, you can go and meet this Shen Yi."
Zhang Jian smiled and said: "Teacher, you think highly of me. Shen Yi now lives in Prince Jin's Mansion, which is not something that disciples can see if they want to."
Minister Zhao frowned again.
He lowered his head and looked at the pile of documents on his desk, and let out a long breath: "I am tired of the documents. I don't know many things in the capital anymore. It seems that I can't sit at this table every day."
On the case, otherwise your eyes will be completely black and you won’t be able to see anything.”
"Teacher is busy with work."
Zhang Jian is smiling.
"But I have a lot of free time. I also know a lot of people in Jiankang. If the teacher wants to know anything, I can ask you."
Minister Zhao stood up from his chair and stretched slightly.
"Since Yi An has nothing to do, let's try to figure out what your Majesty means."
………………
At this time, Shen Yi was still at the door of Xuezheng Yamen.
The entrance to the Xuezheng Yamen was crowded with people. Fortunately, after all, the results were not announced, but the exam time was announced. After Shen Yi spent some time, he squeezed to the front and saw the Xuezheng Yamen announcement.
This year's college examination, uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com, is scheduled for the fourth day of March.
That means there is still one month and a few days left.
Generally, the time for college examinations is in March or April in the spring. This time is considered a regular time and very reasonable.
At the same time, this exam is also very critical for Shen Yi now.
After passing this exam, he will be a scholar of this era. With some basic social status and life skills, his future survival pressure will be lower.
After finally squeezing out of the crowd, Shen Yi glanced at the crowded crowd at the entrance of Xuezheng Yamen and saw a few familiar people.
Or rather a few classmates.
The most conspicuous one is Chen Changming, the leader of this year’s Jiangdu Prefectural Examination.
However, Shen Yi saw him, but he did not see Shen Yi. He was still squeezed back and forth in the crowd.
After seeing a few classmates, Shen Yi turned around and left without saying a word.
Now he is considered a little celebrity in the capital. He needs to "travel low-key", but he cannot let his identity be revealed by these classmates, otherwise there will definitely be some trouble.
After finally squeezing out of the crowd, Shen Yi patted the shoulder of Xu Fu who was following him.
"Let's go, Xiao Xu, let's go shopping in Dongshi."
Xu Fuben was following Shen Yi. Hearing this, he quickly followed him, lowered his head and asked, "Master, are you going to Dongshi to buy something?"
Shen Yi glanced back at Xu Fu and rolled his eyes at the latter.
"It's not to buy something, but to see what we can sell in Dongshi."
