137. Chapter 137 Reunion in the Year of Heavy Snow 1
Su Yin smiled and took a sip of tea.
What made her find interesting was that this Zhang University scholar did not shy away from hiding his contempt for Su Shizong.
This is what Su Yin didn't know. Nowadays, the political parties in the court are clearly divided. Although Su Shizong is the head of the civil servants, there are a group of veterans from Wenshang Pavilion who are eyeing him covetously and handing him a copy of the book every now and then, even in the court.
They also made no secret of the tit-for-tat confrontation. Although this could not shake Su Shizong's status in the court, it also played a role in making him act with more scruples.
Then, at Wang Shu's insistence, Zhang Yan quizzed Wang Zhiyi on some verses from the Book of Songs, and the latter answered them fluently, quite putting his father in trouble.
"I'm good at studying literature, but I'm just not flexible enough. If I can get the top spot in the Qingzhou Prefectural Examination, I will accept him as my disciple." It can be seen that Zhang Yan is still somewhat satisfied with Wang Zhiyi after the question and answer, but he is willing to train him but
He was not sure whether Wang Zhiyi was worth cultivating, so he set up difficulties.
Even so, Zhang Yan's promise to recruit disciples still exceeded Wang Shu's expectations. If he could learn from Zhang Yan, then the Imperial College would only gain qualifications.
"Kowtow to the bachelor!" Wang Shu stared, and Wang Zhiyi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Students must work hard to study literature and live up to the expectations of the bachelor!"
Zhang Yan stroked his beard and smiled, turning his head to look at Su Yin, "These words are also valid for you."
Su Yin smiled casually, she didn't have time to study literature.
Zhang Yan could see that she was absent-minded, but he couldn't hide the feeling of cherishing the talent in his heart. He just heard the meaning of Wang Shu's conversation with Su Ziyin. This child was born by a maid in the capital. Because he had no name and no status, he was sent to Qingbei City with his mother?
In this case, we should work harder and become stronger.
If she could be accepted as his apprentice, she could easily become an official in the court in the future. Wouldn't this solve her current predicament? Would it change her destiny? She had no reason not to agree.
But if it is said that this child is too young and immature in mind, Zhang Yan intuitively believes that this is not the case.
"This jade pendant is my personal accessory. If you come to Beijing in the future, you can use it as a token to meet me." Zhang Yan took out a jade pendant from his arms. The green jade surface is crystal clear, and it is of the highest quality.
It's really a personal accessory that stays with you even if you change into a bathrobe. Su Yin took it with a smile. In just a short time, he already had two jade pendants in his hand, and they were both high-status figures in the Yuan Dynasty.
Wang Zhiyi looked a little jealous, but he also knew that he behaved ungratefully today and was not appreciated as much as the bachelor.
In fact, Zhang Yan originally brought this jade pendant specially to Wang Zhiyi as an apprenticeship ceremony, but now its purpose has been changed.
"Since the bachelor appreciates it, I will be disrespectful. All expenses today will be recorded in my account. I'll pay." Su Yin stood up with a smile, then turned to look at Wang Shu, "Uncle will come back in the future, and all expenses will be signed by me.
On the account. I just forgot to explain that this Orchid Bathhouse is my nephew’s personal property and has nothing to do with the Su Mansion. There are still some things that need to be dealt with, so I will take my leave first."
After saying that, he nodded slightly to everyone, turned around and left quietly.
Looking at Su Yin's back, Wang Shu opened his mouth in shock and his old face turned red.
Zhang Laishun didn't even bother to exchange a few words of sympathy with Hong'er, and hurriedly followed Su Yin and left.
Outside, it was snowing heavily.
Su Yin changed into a set of red fur collar, white fox fur, and black brocade clothes in the Orchid Bath House. After going out, Zhang Laishun had already dressed and tidied the carriage and was staying there respectfully.
