On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, in the Shen family mansion.
In addition to the two sons of Shen Hui's family, the two sons of the second uncle's family were also called back to Jiangdu from the next door house. Together with the two brothers Shen Zhang and Shen Heng, the six second-generation brothers of the Shen family were reunited after four years.
Finally reunited after five years.
It is worth mentioning that there are nine brothers in the second generation of the Shen family, with Shen Yi ranked seventh and Shen Heng ranked ninth.
It's just that the other three belonged to the third uncle's family. They went north with his third uncle in the early years and never came back.
In other words, except for the third uncle Shen Yi's family, the rest of the Shen family has already arrived.
As a parent, Shen Hui was very happy and spent a lot of money to buy banquets for several days. The family sat together and had a lively New Year's Eve.
It's just that Shen Hui occasionally sat with his fourth brother Shen Zhang, and the two brothers clinked their glasses with each other, inevitably feeling a little depressed.
At that time, they were the only two of the four Shen brothers left.
After several days of excitement, the New Year has finally passed and the time has come for the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Shen Yi took Shen Heng with him, carried the New Year's goods, hired a carriage, and went to the academy to pay New Year's greetings to the gentlemen.
When they arrived at the academy, the two brothers moved things down from the carriage. They first went to Mr. Qin's place to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Qin.
Mr. Qin was the brothers' common teacher and lived in the academy. He was very happy after seeing the two brothers and talked with them for a long time.
At this time, Mr. Qin's family had a lot of people, and there were more than a dozen students who came to pay New Year's greetings.
After all, Mr. Qin has been teaching in the academy for nearly ten years. During these ten years, he has brought out a lot of students. Naturally, there are not a few who come to him to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year.
After Shen Yi had a conversation with Mr. Qin, he came to Master Lu's house with the gifts he had prepared.
Compared with Mr. Qin's place, Master Lu's place is much more deserted.
Firstly, this is because Master Lu does not accept many gifts, and more importantly, because Master Lu only lectures occasionally in the academy and does not teach every day.
In the words of later generations, he, the dean, did not "lead the class."
If there are no classes, there won’t be that many students, so naturally not many people will come to the door.
After Shen Yi knocked on the door of the Lu family's courtyard, the person who opened the door was an old servant of the Lu family. Shen Yi nodded and smiled at the servant, and then led him to Mrs. Lu's study.
After entering the study room, Shen Yi put down the things in his hands and bowed to Lu Anshi on the chair: "May you have a happy new year, teacher."
Mr. Lu also changed into a new set of clothes this year, which must have been bought by Miss Lu. After seeing Shen Yi, he nodded first and then pointed to the chair in the room.
"Sit down and talk."
Shen Yi did not sit down obediently, but went to the small stove in the study and added a few pieces of carbon to the stove that was about to go out.
"The stove has gone out, and the teacher didn't add any carbon into it. This year's winter in Jiangdu is extremely cold."
Lu Anshi looked at Shen Yi who was squatting on the ground working.
He smiled and said, "Yesterday Qingque bought me a new set of clothes. It's very warm when I wear them. I'm not cold at all."
After Shen Yi added fuel to the fire, he stood in front of Lu Anshi, reached out and took out an article, and placed it on Mr. Lu's desk.
Lu Anshi was a little confused: "What is this? I remember I didn't assign you an article before."
"This is an article that the newspaper department in the palace asked students to write."
Because of the cold weather, Shen Yi exhaled a mouthful of white mist. He looked at Master Lu and said, "The Di News Department specially sent people to Jiangdu to ask for it. According to students' estimates, after the Lantern Festival is over, this article will be published."
The article may appear in the Di Di newspaper.”
Only then did Lu Anshi become serious. He picked up the article and read it again. When he saw the two sentences "The two rivers are full of bones, and the coffins are hung in the mouth of the river", this Jiangzuo scholar couldn't help but frown.
Finally, after reading an article, he put it aside silently and said nothing.
After who knows how long, he lowered his eyebrows and said: "It's a bit too much."
Master Lu looked at Shen Yi and sighed: "Although I dream of the Northern Expedition and return to my old capital, I have to admit that although Northern Qi has declined a bit, the Qi army's combat power is still there, so the matter of going north is
I can only draw it slowly, don't rush, your Majesty is young, and I am submitting this article at this time..."
"What if His Majesty is in a hurry and wants to launch another Northern Expedition..."
Shen Yi shook his head and said: "Teacher, I have met your Majesty. Although your Majesty is young, he is not impulsive. Besides, the late emperor's Northern Expedition to Yinjian is not far away. His Majesty should not be so impulsive. As for this article..."
"It was not written by a student, but His Majesty asked a student to write it. It is obvious that His Majesty will not read this article himself, but will show it to others, so that people know that our great Chen Xinjun will not abbreviate or truncate the article.
."
Master Lu thought for a long time, then nodded silently and said, "Perhaps what you said, Zi Heng, is right. I am already old as a teacher. The older you are, the less courage you have."
Shen Qi raised his head and looked at Lu Anshi. After hesitating for a moment, he asked: "There will probably be personnel updates in the court next year. Does the teacher want to become an official again?"
Although Zhao Changping, the great minister of Zhao, has a bright future and is Shen Yi's uncle, no matter what, the uncle is not as good as a close teacher. If Zhao Shilang becomes the prime minister in the future, the benefits he will give to Shen Yi will definitely not be given to Zhang Jian.
The benefits are many.
Therefore, it is better to have a supporter who is a teacher.
Mr. Lu has been an official before. At this moment, if he is willing to go out, after Zhao Changping writes a letter to recommend him, the position given to him by the court will not be too low. If nothing else, Shen Yi, a student, can also follow him.
Dazzle.
Master Lu sat in his seat. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly shook his head.
He only said one sentence.
"Who will be in charge of the academy after I leave?"
Gansuan Academy is the foundation of Ganquan Sect and the cornerstone of Ganquan Sect. Nowadays, apart from Lu Anshi, there is really no one in the academy who can control the situation.
If Mr. Lu becomes an official, then the academy will most likely have to let Mr. Xie become the headmaster.
Shen Yi looked down upon that Mr. Xie very much.
Therefore, after being silent for a while, he stopped talking.
Lu Anshi looked at Shen Yi and smiled: "Now, I can understand why you have to rush to take the Chunwei exam. You are right."
"Now the court needs people to do things. If you can enter the court earlier, you will have more opportunities. If you take the exam well this spring, even if you only pass the top three, my teacher will write to you, Uncle Zhao, asking him to
I will arrange a good connection for you in the official department."
After becoming a Jinshi, there is still a process of replacing the official.
The best first-class Jinshi and the first few of the second-class Jinshi will most likely enter the Hanlin Academy, and they will not have to worry about filling in their posts, but the remaining Jinshis will have to wait for the Ministry of Personnel to select and fill in their posts.uuReading www.uukanshu

If you are lucky, you can fill an official vacancy in half a year or a year. If you are unlucky, you have to wait for several years, or even spend money to find connections, just to fill an official vacancy. As for filling a "fat vacancy", then...
More relationships are needed.
However, Shen Yi is a disciple of the Ganquan sect and has "someone" in the court. He is not worried about not being able to get an official position, but he is worried about not being able to get a "capital official".
After all, he wanted to join the Di Di newspaper department and become the director.
Judging from the current situation, Di Newspaper Division, a yamen that has not yet been fully formed, may have great room for growth!
However, he could not say this to Mr. Lu, nor to Minister Zhao. He could only rely on himself to fight for it from the palace.
As for how to fight for it, he needs to communicate with the people in the palace and the high eunuch after he arrives in Jiankang later in the year. It is best...
It would be best to see the little emperor again!
And there is no way to explain all this to Mr. Lu now.
Therefore, Shen Yi stood up and thanked Lu Anshi.
After saying thank you, Shen Yi smiled at Lu Anshi and said, "Teacher, you are busy here, while the students go to wish my junior sister a happy new year."
Master Lu looked at Shen Yi thoughtfully, then smiled and waved to Shen Yi.
