The entire academy was grading papers all night long. They were all crowded in the academy library. The door was tightly closed. No one here was allowed to go out until the papers were opened and the roll call was called. The papers were randomly selected and no one was allowed to go out.
Knowing who the owner of the paper was, Yun Ye originally planned to copy the paper again, and Xu Jingzong agreed, but was scolded by Mr. Li Gang. Guarding against others is like guarding against thieves, which is the shame of a gentleman.
There seemed to be only two shameless villains in the academy, so these two shameless villains were excluded from the circle of marking papers. They had no choice but to stay outside the library and set up a small table.
, let the kitchen bring a few side dishes, and drink some wine to resist the cold air of early spring.
"Old Xu, thanks to you these years, I've been away a lot. If you hadn't been guarding the academy, the academy wouldn't be as grand as it is today. You have contributed a lot to it. Come, let's have a drink together."
The two drank the wine in one gulp, flicked the bottom of the cup, smiled, and took chopsticks to eat the food. After taking two mouthfuls, Xu Jingzong smiled bitterly and said: "Marquis Yun, tell me, we two have dedicated our lives to the academy, right?
Why are you called a villain today when everyone else is busy and you and I are the only ones sitting here drinking?"
"That's because the two of us are really villains. Don't be dissatisfied, Lao Xu. I've been busy making calculations all day long, trying to get money from everywhere. You've been digging around all day long, groping here and there, and calculating your budget carefully. I'm competing with others outside.
Douxun, you almost do it at home, tell me, do we two have a bit of a gentlemanly bearing?"
"Having said that, I always feel unwilling. Who doesn't want a good reputation, and who wants to have a bad reputation all day long." Xu Jingzong drank all the wine in his hand in distress.
Yun Ye peeled off a salted duck egg, put it in Xu Jingzong's bowl and said with a smile: "The Minister of Rites is a noble official, why doesn't Lao Xu go? He refused three times, which means he is determined not to go.
"
Xu Jingzong drank another glass of wine, knocked on the table and said: "Qinggui? Marquis Yun, you have been fighting in that circle for so long, and you still don't know? Where are the real Qinggui officials? You, an idle prince, are all here
The whirlpool is full of dangers. Once I, an idle official with no backing and no influence, get entangled, it would be strange if I am not shattered to pieces. Look, over the years, the officials in the court have been replaced like water. Who is not worthy of being an official?
I am frightened, I, Lao Xu, have a good place with no trouble, why should I hang out in the quagmire? Over the years in the academy, I have watched it gradually turn into a magnificent city. What should I be dissatisfied with? It’s not bad to stay there for the rest of my life.
When you die of old age, having a statue in the academy will be considered as a life spent."
Yun Ye scratched his head and said: "The current court is really not a place for people to mix. Except for the few big bosses who remain stationary, the rest rotate like a revolving door. One day they go to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and tomorrow they become officials of the Ministry of Works.
After a while, he will become the governor of the outside world. If he wants to calm down, it will take five or six years. "
"Forget it, Marquis Yun, I've looked away. Now I've gone to Yunzhou. I've heard good things about it. With the connections in the academy, I can always get through it. I'm already a seventh-rank official at a young age. I'm here
He doesn't have the ability at his age."
"Although your eldest son is not bad, compared with your old Xu, he is not even a little bit worse. Back then, when the eighteen bachelors in Prince Qin's palace had wine bags and rice bags? I just valued your ability, so I worked hard to get you there.
Academy, to be honest, when I heard you came to the academy, I felt like I was facing a formidable enemy."
"We also gave the students a holiday and made me stand in a daze in front of the empty academy for a long time." Xu Jingzong muttered and found this very interesting. He pointed at Yun Ye with his chopsticks and laughed.
A gentleman has the pleasures of a gentleman, and a villain naturally has the pleasures of a villain. The two of them cheated on each other and chatted happily. After a while, a jar of wine was consumed. As soon as he opened the second jar, Xu Jingzong covered his head.
Zhu Janzi said: "I am in high spirits today and have already drank a jar. There is something going on in the academy now, so I can't drink too much. People must know how to cherish blessings. This is also a truth I have only realized in the past two years. The highest mood is the happiest time, so drink more."
It’s not beautiful to be exhausted.”
Yun Ye cupped his hands to show that he had been taught, and ordered the servants to remove the remaining seats, and go to the academy dormitory to check the rooms. Today, the other gentlemen could not spare the time, so the two villains had to do it themselves.
The moonlight was cold, Yun Ye wrapped his cloak around his body, and walked along the path to check in the moonlight. When he saw the light of a candle in the room, he scolded him and continued to move forward until the candle was extinguished. Not long after, he came to the woman
In the academy, Lai Ying was guarding the concierge, dozing off little by little. Cheng Xin, who was sitting opposite, was embroidering enthusiastically, rubbing the embroidery needle on his head from time to time, looking indescribably weird.
Knocking on the table, Lai Ying woke up and saw Yun Ye lowering his head in embarrassment.
"How is it? Today is the first day for these children to move in. Is there anything you are not used to?"
"Master Hou, it's not bad. The little ladies fell asleep after playing for a long time. They were so happy that they always sneaked out to see what they wanted." After saying that, he covered his mouth and laughed, like a hen that had just laid an egg.
chicken.
Cheng Xin has no embarrassment at all. As long as he can find a place to use himself, he will be very happy. The past few years in the Yun family have been almost the happiest days of his life. No one bullies or discriminates against him. Even if he is
A few young ladies like to tease me, but they are just out of childish innocence and cannot be taken seriously.
Take some time to mix some spices and embroider some flowers. A few days ago, Mr. Hou got an auspicious peony picture from somewhere and wanted to embroider it himself. He said it was a gift for Mr. Qin’s birthday, which made him even happier.
, I have been thinking about how to embroider the charm of that painting these days when I have nothing to do.
"Rong Xin, you are doing a good job. You take your time and integrate into the crowd step by step. You have a rough life since you were a child. You have been looked down upon and ridiculed. Don't think too much. My talents are bound to be useful. You are always trying to figure it out for yourself.
Lu, this is very good. I find that you will definitely make great progress in embroidery, and it will not be inferior to your perfume-making skills."
Chengxin happily thanked Yun Ye for the compliment. Lai Ying then discovered that Chengxin was actually embroidering a huge picture. Just looking at the bright and beautiful appearance of the embroidered peony made her heart itch. After taking it over and looking at it carefully,
, I have to admit that what Yun Ye said makes sense.
Liu Jinbao swung the lantern towards the attic, and two women in green clothes suddenly appeared above. These were the female guards in the palace. There were eight in total here. Seeing that everything was normal, Yun Ye left the concierge. He would not do anything in the inner courtyard.
Go forward.
I could hear the sound of the drums at midnight, and the library was still very busy. Many servants came in and out to deliver soup. Xu Jingzong had arranged the kitchen to prepare supper for the gentlemen. The older ones even had ginseng soup, which was served from a distance.
I saw Mr. Li Gang sitting on a soft couch, talking to Yushan. There were rolls of examination papers in front of him. He was still working hard at such an old age.
Peace and stability are signs of a prosperous age. In the past, Yun Ye always blamed the demise of dynasties on the kings who subjugated the country. However, after coming to this era, he discovered that in fact, few kings were responsible for the demise. What really led to a
The reasons for the demise of the huge empire were very complicated, and it would be unfair to blame the emperor alone.
Even a fool knows that he can recuperate and recuperate with light corvee and small taxes. As long as the people have enough food and warm clothes, his dynasty will continue indefinitely. Louis XV's idea of not caring about his flood after death.
, there is not much market in China, and the idea of family world has been deeply rooted in the bones. Everyone wants to leave the best to their descendants as much as possible. As a holy king, he can be remembered by descendants forever.
In fact, the role of the head of the family is similar to that of the emperor. They are both responsible for their own families, but one is stronger and the other is weaker. The emperor knows very well that if the master is weak and the ministers are strong, the color of the world will immediately change. Therefore, the emperor is most worried about the powerful ministers.
Rather than the people, so taking the interests of the people to strengthen oneself becomes the only option.
The moon was sinking in the west mountain, and the moist air of spring moistened the heart and spleen. Yun Ye didn't know how long he had stood in the spring dew. The sky had turned white, and the pale yellow winter jasmine flowers in the academy were blooming in full bloom. Mr. Ye from the academy kept coming.
I came out of the library and stretched my stiff body in the open space in front. The busy day was over and I could have a good sleep today.
Xu Jingzong emerged from nowhere and walked up to Yun Ye and said, "The gentlemen have finished their work. Now it's our turn to get busy. I don't know how many people will be happy and how many people will be disappointed today.
There will definitely be countless invitations in front of you and me. This happens every two years, which is also when our academy is at its most prestigious. How many negotiable places will we have this year? "
Yun Ye smiled bitterly and said: "In this academy, we are the only two who can do the despicable and shameless things. Mr. Li Gang said, only thirty-one. One more will not do. I also want to do these things."
All unqualified people will be rejected. However, it is unrealistic. After all, the academy is living in the human world, and it is not possible to avoid the fireworks of the human world.
The royal family took away eight, which were requested by the empress, the prime minister took away four, and Prime Minister Du took away eleven places for the military. You and I are left with eight places. The old rule is that each person takes half.
."
Xu Jingzong said with a sad face: "There are eight in total, which is a little less. Regardless of our past, the local government, Jingzhao Yin, Dali Temple, the Forbidden Army, including Yaxing, are not enough."
"Nothing can be done. It's just eight. It's very difficult to do anything now. If it doesn't work, you can say that the Women's College can have ten more places. Yushan College must not have more places. There are only thirty-one. Mr. Li Gang can do it.
If there is one more person who is given to me against all the odds, the gentlemen will scold me and threaten me. If any idiot who doesn’t know how to count sneaks in, they will immediately kick him out without giving him any face. "
Xu Jingzong looked up to the sky and sighed deeply and said: "In the next term, I will be a gentleman to death. This villain has a reputation. Marquis Yun, you can do the hard work alone. I will stay up late to mark the papers, and you will do the chores." (To be continued.)
