Mr. Duan has never met Yu Pu, and all his knowledge comes from Chen Gui’s narration.
Hearing what Chen Gui said, she couldn't help but think more highly of this young man.
"If you have real talent and practical knowledge, it will be great if you can put it to use in the examination room." Xiao Duan sighed.
It is really not easy for students from poor families to get ahead.
They do not have an outstanding background and can only work hard on their own.
Not to mention that the teachers you can hire when you are young are very different, but even if you have learned some skills, the paths you can take are also different.
Like Lin Yu, he was able to meet the late emperor at a young age and speak frankly about what he was thinking. As long as he had real ability, he would not be afraid of being buried.
As for later staying away from the center and only serving as a sinecure in the Hanlin Academy, that was a personal choice.
If he changes his mind tomorrow and wants to show off his talents, there will be plenty of opportunities.
The children of official families are weaker.
However, with elders guiding the way, there are still many opportunities.
As for the children from poor families, they can only take the scientific examination.
If you have bad luck in the exam or if you perform abnormally, then even your extraordinary ability will be buried.
Lin Yunyan has great confidence in Yu Pu.
In the past, Yu Pu only had a mediocre official career, and was demoted from the capital because he worked for his father and his uncle's house, but he was named on the gold list.
"Don't worry," Lin Yunyan said to Xiao Duan, "Look back, we will see how many powerful people can come out of Laoshi Alley, and when the No. 1 Scholar comes out of the alley, you can just wait to collect the cash next year." p>
Xiao Duan laughed.
Speaking of money, she added: "I was worried before that Yu Pu would be angry when he saw the money."
She thought about being more roundabout, but this girl Yun Yan glanced at her again and again, which made her no longer interested in going around in circles. She whipped up her whip and asked the horse to spread its hooves as straight as she wanted. p>
Lin Yunyan smiled and said: "You know best how people's words can be feared.
It would be okay if there was no incident between the Liu and Zheng families. However, a while ago, how many people mentioned that Mr. Liu was a hero who saved the beauty back then. How can serious candidates nowadays dare to get such a reputation again?
You have good intentions to help, but you are asked to point fingers. You would not be happy if it were you. Of course, you can't give me duck and sausage."
Xiao Duan laughed and gave Lin Yunyan a light slap: "Duck and sausage, a happy New Year gift!"
Lin Yunyan also laughed.
It is indeed a good New Year gift for other families, and the third aunt is extremely thoughtful in her work.
But for Yu Pu, it is not as real as paper, pen and money.
"If he wasn't an honest person, he wouldn't have left his name anonymous that day," Lin Yunyan said. "You are honest, and Yu Pu is also honest. Sincerity is exchanged for sincerity, how could he be angry?"
Xiao Duan nodded.
Straight forward, she is still thinking and learning, but sincerity and sincerity have been with her for decades, and she is very familiar with them.
Xiao Duan said: "Let's talk to Yun Jing and her daughter later to reassure them."
Lin Yunyan agrees.
When she arrived at Qingpuyuan, she told the story.
Mrs. Huang was frightened that day, but she has been recovering these days. When she heard this, her expression became much more relaxed: "That's good, that's good. He's been kind to us. If we don't find him, I'd like to say thank you. I'll always be thinking about it."
”
Lin Yunjing also said: "It's a pity that I sprained my foot. Otherwise, when I went to each house to send thank you gifts, I should have gone together."
Lin Yunyan knew her temperament and said with a smile: "It's been a hundred days since my muscles and bones were broken, so it's important for my eldest sister to take a good rest. Calculating the time, it will be time to make an appointment in a hundred days. If Yu Pu is named on the list, eldest sister will just say thank you and congratulate her." Lin Yunjing glanced at her swollen ankle and said angrily: "You made the arrangement clearly."
The two sisters laughed and played.
On the side, Grandma Hong was also smiling from ear to ear, and then, with a thought in her mind, she turned to look at Mr. Huang.
Mrs. Huang had a smile on her face, and she was very happy that the sisters were close to each other, but Grandma Hong knew that Mrs. Huang was worried about her.
She is very anxious about her daughter's future.
Since breaking off the engagement with Su Ke, Mr. Huang has said this many times.
Don't be in a hurry, take your time and watch, you won't encounter those ghost-hearted people in human skin again.
Those are all true words.
But when she calms down and doesn't let the elder girl hear her, the second lady will also say a few words to her in private.
"There is definitely nothing wrong with renunciation, and we are reasonable, but there are some things that cannot be justified."
"After canceling a kiss once, and then asking for a kiss, other people will have some ideas."
"I know what you are going to say. Those who have weird ideas, we Yunjing don't want to join in and suffer the consequences."
"But I just thought, when will there be a good family?"
"If I can understand the truth, treat Yun Jing kindly, and Yun Jing can marry happily, I will be satisfied."
Grandma Hong understands that Mrs. Huang's eagerness but not daring to be anxious is exactly the mother's ardent friendship for her daughter.
There are similar families in Beijing who know the ins and outs of it, and if they have any intention of getting married, they would have revealed it long ago.
If you are an upstart...
Grandma Hong can't say whether the new scholars are valuable.
But she looked at Yu Pu. The young man was young. Not to mention how handsome he was, at least he had good features.
Thinking in this direction, Grandma Hong felt more and more that Yu Pu was good.
It seems that I need to ask Aunt Wang to come out and check Yu Pu's family carefully. Everything else doesn't matter, as long as there is no fixed marriage in my hometown.
That's really a lot of unnecessary things.
However, that’s all for later.
You still have to pass the exam first.
The princess's suggestion is very good. When the time comes, she will thank and congratulate her and ask the eldest girl to take a closer look at Yu Pu first.
If she could like it, she would mention it to the madam and ask the old madam to think about it.
In the evening.
Lin Yunyan changed into men's clothes and went out, finding a private room in a restaurant not far from Shuntian Mansion.
After drinking some hot drinks and sitting for a while, Xu Jian arrived.
Lin Yunyan looked him up and down and said, "Didn't Mr. Shan stop him?"
Xu Jianzhi knew she was joking.
He can come and go freely in Shuntian Mansion, and Shan Shen does not pay his salary, so who will care when he arrives and when he leaves?
However, since he said he would get the seal in Shuntian Mansion, he certainly wasn't lazy.
"After filling my stomach, I will go back to accompany Mr. Shan to approve documents," Xu Jian sat down and said, "It is indeed not as comfortable as in Taohe Zhai."
Lin Yunyan fully agrees with this point.
If anything happened before, she could discuss it with Xu Jian face to face by going to Taohe Zhai.
Xu Jian said: "Yu Pu came to the Yamen in the afternoon."
When Lin Yunyan heard this, she smiled and said: "There are people in the yamen who are easy to do things."
Xu Jian reported a few more names, all of which were famous on the list in the past, especially Dong Xuan, the number one scholar, who was familiar to Lin Yunyan.
"They all live in Lao Shi Lane?" she asked.
"No," Xu Jian said, "When the list is published, it would not be good to be too conspicuous."
Furthermore, there are indeed a group of very difficult candidates, and they must be accommodated.
The two talked about business for a while, and Lin Yunyan returned to the matter of Su Ke: "Wandering for three thousand miles, the Holy Lord will punish you very severely."
Heavier than she expected.
Xu Jian sipped her tea.
Ask him to say that Shan Shen deserves the most credit for such a result.
Mr. Shan wears many hats on others, and his kickbacks are accurate and ruthless.
"It's better to be harsher," Xu Jian said. "Judge someone else's son harshly, and then you can't sentence your own son lightly."
