"I heard that Brother Seventh is very close to you?" Qingtai thought about it and decided to ask.
Yuzhu told every detail of his relationship with Brother Seven.
After hearing this, Qingtai narrowed his eyes and chuckled: "It's funny, your Mafa is an open party. I only get close to the fifth elder brother. Your Ama and the eldest elder brother have a good relationship.
You have won the favor of Seventh Prince. Hehe, that’s wonderful.”
Yuzhu smiled and said: "Eighth uncle, my nephew heard that the fifth elder brother speaks Mongolian very well?"
Qingtai smiled knowingly and said: "Although the fifth elder brother was also born to Concubine Yi, he was raised by the Empress Dowager. When it was time to enter school, he spoke fluent Mongolian, but his Mandarin was a mess.
, and could not speak a word in Chinese, but the emperor was very anxious. However, the emperor did not say a word and let him go. In addition, when the emperor personally went to Junggar a few years ago, the fifth elder brother went with the army but failed.
I accidentally fell off my horse and my face was severely bruised. Oh, what a pity."
Yuzhu blinked and said: "Uncle Eighth has a foresight. It is just right for such a fifth elder brother to follow me around."
Qingtai said with a smile: "Your eighth uncle and I have very limited abilities and no ambitions. We only care about living a stable life, and that's enough."
These words are quite mysterious, vaguely implying that Longkodo is actually a very ambitious guy.
The son didn't say anything about his father's fault, Yuzhu deliberately pretended to understand and pretended to be confused.
Seeing that Yuzhu didn't say anything, Qingtai put aside Longkodo's matter and said with a smile: "The fifth elder brother has an injury on his face, and the seventh elder brother was born with a crippled leg. You, my uncle and my nephew have thought of it together." p>
Yuzhu showed a knowing smile, but still didn't say a word. It's better to be silent than to say anything. Why bother to say something clearly?
The fourth elder brother, Yinzhen, was able to have the last laugh, didn’t he just hide his ambition very deeply?
When everyone was caught off guard, Si Age took advantage of Longkodo's military power, made extraordinary moves, and sealed his throat with a sword, forcing everyone to surrender.
That night, Qingtai and Yuzhu chatted for a long time. Qingtai told a lot of secrets of wealthy families under the influence of wine, and Yuzhu listened with interest.
When chatting started, Qingtai ordered people to bring wine and food. He and Yuzhu drank while talking about themselves.
On the morning of the next day, after Yuzhu accompanied Qingtai and Guarjia to have breakfast, they boarded the car and left the General's Mansion and went to Jiangning Pier.
Jurong County is in the southeast of Jiangning Prefecture. You can take a boat along the Qinhuai River and directly reach the dock of Jurong County.
Sun Chengsi went directly to Hangzhou and Suzhou under the pretext of purchasing wedding supplies. When Yuzhu returned from Jurong County, the two of them returned to Beijing together.
In order to facilitate Yuzhu's work, Qingtai specially sent a confidant from the Xiaoqi camp, Martai, the Xiaoqi academy, and asked him to take a few Goshiha and take the name card of the general's palace to handle Yuzhu's affairs along the way.
The garrison of the Xiaoqi camp is directly under the general or the deputy commander. The Xiaoqi school, also known as Fende Bashiku, is the deputy of Zuoling and is the sixth grade.
The boat traveled for three days and arrived at the Jurong County pier.
Yuzhu knew very well that academic officials in this era had bad tempers, and He Zichang, the academic administrator of Jiangnan, would definitely not like him bringing a large group of people to make trouble.
Therefore, he arranged for the chief steward Hu Biao to arrive in Jurong County in advance and rent an inn in the city to accommodate the people he brought.
After arriving at the pier, Yuzhu only led Wu Jiang and Wu Sheng to walk to the Xuezheng Yamen next to the county government office.
The Admiral Jiangnan Academic Affairs Office is resident in Jiangyin, and Jiangnan's academic examinations are also held in the Confucian Temple in Jiangyin.
However, in addition to presiding over the college examinations, the academic supervisor also needs to tour various places in Jiangnan Province to preside over the annual and scientific examinations of the students.
The first year of academic administration in each province is the annual examination, and the second year is the scientific examination. All prefectures, prefectures, and counties with attached students, secondary students, and rural students must take the examination.
The annual examination is the main examination for academic administration and is limited to December. The scientific examination is the examination for the provincial examination.
Jiangnan Province includes Anhui and Jiangsu, which is really huge. In order to facilitate Jiangnan students in Anhui and other places to take the annual examinations nearby, the imperial court also set up a touring academic and political office in Jurong County.
When Yuzhu arrived at the door of Xuezheng Yamen, Wu Jiang stepped forward and handed Tang Bing's name card in. Soon, word came from inside that the master was meeting guests in the study.
He Zichang, the admiral of Jiangnan Academic Affairs, and Tang Bing, Yuzhu's teacher, were brothers in the same school.
Both of them studied under Li Bai of Mei County, one of the "Three Li's of Guanzhong", a great scholar of Neo-Confucianism at that time.
Li Bai of Mei County, Li Yindu of Fuping and Li Yong, the "great scholar in the country", are collectively known as the "Three Lis of Guanzhong" and are admired by scholars all over the world.
None of the three Lis in Guanzhong served as officials in the Qing Dynasty. However, most of their disciples became officials in the Qing Dynasty.
Studying, not for becoming an official, is it really for cultivating one’s sentiments?
When Yuzhu entered the door, he saw a middle-aged man with a pale appearance, wearing a gray robe, sitting upright in the hall.
"Disciple Yuzhu, I would like to pay my respects to Master Uncle." Yuzhu, who knew the etiquette very well, bowed to the ground and performed the master's ceremony.
"Well, get up." He Zichang said calmly without any joy on his face, "I have no intention of teaching you. It's just that I owed Master Ru a favor back then and I must pay him back."
Yuzhu knew in his heart that what He Zichang said was true and there was no doubt about it.
However, Yuzhu came to study not because He Zichang liked him, but to learn the secrets of becoming a Jinshi.
According to Tang Bing, He Zichang was one of the top two from the county examination to the general examination.
However, during the palace examination, because He Zichang's teacher was the stubborn Li Bai, he was forced out of the throne of Sandingjia by the Grand Scholars Mingzhu and Suo'etu, and became Chuanlu who ranked first in the second level. p>
This kind of super academic must have unique exam-taking experience!
"The favor that a disciple owes to his uncle will be repaid one day." Yuzhu was also very direct and did not lie about being a master for a lifetime and a father for the rest of his life.
"No need." He Zichang obviously had resentment towards Tang Bing, so he blocked Yuzhu's mouth.
Yuzhu has long since become a master, his face is much thicker than the city wall, and he is not afraid of scolding at all.
He cupped his hands and said: "It is the duty of a human being to never forget to repay kindness."
"Now, this is my letter of recommendation. You can take it." He Zichang said very rudely, "My affairs here are extremely busy and the territory is narrow, so I won't keep you. The mountain director of the local Jiuhua Academy is
He is an old friend of mine, so you should go and study with him for a while first."
Yuzhu understood as soon as he heard it. He Zichang wanted him to accept the test of Jiuhua Academy first, and then decide based on the situation whether he should teach him or not?
Literary men like to engage in tricks like deliberately making things difficult for others. Previously, Yuzhu had learned a lot from Tang Bing.
"Thank you, uncle." Since He Zichang deliberately wanted to make things difficult, Yuzhu didn't want to pretend to be a grandson anymore, so he just accepted the challenge. Who is afraid of whom?
He Zichang picked up the tea cup, but did not drink it. He was obviously going to serve tea as a farewell to the guests.
Yuzhu was not angry at all. A capable scholar would inevitably have a bad temper, which was completely tolerable and acceptable.
People who want to be officials are not thick-skinned and can't bear to be angry. It's better to stop worrying about becoming an official as soon as possible. It's better to go home and plant sweet potatoes.
Yuzhu had long been advised by Tang Bing to give money to beauties, but He Zichang would definitely not accept it.
Therefore, the gift that Yuzhu brought out was a Song version of "The Later Han Dynasty". The book has handwritten annotations by famous writers such as Lu You, Liu Xuxi, and Xie Dieshan, which is extremely rare.
After He Zichang saw the gift clearly, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said: "No reward for no merit, just take it back."
Yuzhu said respectfully: "This is not a gift from my disciples. My teacher Tang Gong said that I will temporarily lend it to my uncle for you to watch in March."
It's a loan, not a gift. He Zichang thought about it for a while, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of rare books and said nothing.
As long as He Zichang accepts it, Yuzhu has plenty of ways to make him stay.
