Chapter 1863 What is the identity of classmate Bao?
After the forum ended, Mr. Chu wrote down the names of several people and gave them to Baozi, saying: "These people, regardless of whether they have high school rankings or not, you can pay attention to them."
When I opened the bun, I saw five names written on it: Zhou Mao, Sun Kutian, Liu Yipeng, Wu Chaomin, and Li Baiqing.
By coincidence, this happened to be the person he was interested in.
Baozi smiled knowingly and said, "Thank you very much, teacher!"
Mr. Chu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take them to see Mr. Chu another day."
"yes!"
Baozi agreed, but thought for a moment, "Would you like to see us after the exam?"
"That's not necessary, just bring them secretly. This is the last step in investigating them."
Mr. Chu smiled meaningfully.
This is a test of human nature.
If you have seen them and they go out and say that they have seen him, or if they feel that they are about to be promoted during the exam and are proud and complacent, then discard it.
Because people who are impetuous and proud and don't know how to be patient will be able to use it but not be able to use it very much.
After meeting him and the Supreme Emperor, you can return to your original intention as a candidate before you can consider it.
It's just a matter of consideration, because the imperial court is very strict in selecting scholars, and there are many people who are better than them. The reason why they are considered is because they want to build the prototype of Bao'er's team.
Some of them have bold ideas and can give the prince some unexpected or bold suggestions.
Baozi thought about it and understood what Mr. Chu meant, so he smiled and said, "Then where can I take him to see you?"
"Prince Su's Mansion, I am now living in Prince Su's Mansion with your Auntie Xi."
Mr. Chu said quite proudly.
"Isn't that why I met my great-grandfather?"
"Tell him to take a look and look at people. Your great-grandfather has a more vicious eye than anyone else."
Mr. Chu was quite proud when he talked about his old friend.
Baozi was very touched. The three old people actually cared about him. Maybe his great-grandfather also knew why Mr. Chu came this time.
I guess it was my great-great-grandfather who told me to wait until the forum was over, and if there was anyone suitable, I could bring him over to have a look.
Two days later, Baozi sent a message to the five of them, inviting them to visit a place. Naturally, he did not mention Prince Su's Mansion for the time being.
The other four agreed readily, but Zhou Mao said he had to prepare for the exam. Autumn was coming soon, the exam was coming, and he couldn't go out to play all the time, so he refused.
After the person who sent the message came back to report, Baozi asked someone to send him another message and told him that this time he was going to his home. There were elders in the family who had been officials in the court. Now they are at home, but they like to interact with young people.
People talk.
Zhou Mao always dreamed of meeting officials, even those who had already served.
Moreover, the seventy-year-old official in the imperial court is now in his prime. This old man is already very old, but he is willing to listen to the young people. It is really rare that he agreed to go immediately.
The next day, Baozi sent a carriage to greet him.
Although the carriage is not extremely luxurious, it is spacious and comfortable. The summer curtain is lifted, and the interior is covered with blue soft satin seats and backrests, with a few books placed in the corners.
They are all scholars. Seeing a book is like a businessman seeing money. He unconsciously picked it up and flipped through it in his hands.
These books are all chronicles of local customs and customs, and were compiled by Dongfang Shanzhu, a famous scholar in the Northern Tang Dynasty.
Naturally, they had seen it all, but after a brief look at it at the time, they finally concentrated on learning. As for the scenery, they could always cover it with their legs.
Young people always think like this, thinking that they will travel all over the world in the future.
"By the way, do you know what Mr. Bao does at home?"
Zhou Mao suddenly asked.
"I don't know, I haven't heard him say it."
Sun Kutian shook his head, "I guess you are doing business, right?
I see that he is very generous in treating guests sometimes."
"It's not like that!"
Zhou Mao said.
"How can I see it?"
Everyone looked at Zhou Mao.
Zhou Mao looked at the spacious carriage and said, "This carriage can accommodate five of us, and there is a summer curtain in front of the carriage. It shows that he is from a high background, and his family is definitely not doing business."
The merchant's carriage, no matter how spacious and luxurious it is, cannot be painted in five colors and can only be hung with bamboo awnings.
Liu Yipeng chuckled, "What's so strange about this?
Many merchants' carriages in various places have been painted, but now the control is not strict, and everyone in the country acquiesces to it."
Zhou Mao said sarcastically: "You also say this is your hometown, but this is at the foot of the emperor. You have been in Beijing for so long, how often have you seen merchants' carriages painted?
The more important the capital is, the more particular it is."
Everyone thought that what Zhou Mao made a fuss about was just a carriage, and the rules of this dynasty were not that strict. The status of merchants had already been raised during the great commercial boom.
Didn't we say before that people couldn't use cloud satin and Shu brocade, but if we have money, don't we still use it?
