Red Mansion Jia Lan: Do you want to run away tonight to visit your relatives? Chapter Ninety-Nine: Gongyuan meets San Zhizao for the first time and leads the ceremony to meet Xuanhuang
Chapter Ninety-Nine: Gongyuan meets San Zhizao for the first time and leads the ceremony to meet Xuanhuang
Looking at the crowd of scholars who came forward to congratulate him with their own concerns, Jia Lan had mixed feelings in his heart. Looking around, he only knew Qin Zhong and another candidate from Diecui Academy.
Facing everyone's gaze, Jia Lan did not show any stage fright. He only smiled slightly, raised his hands and made a circle: "Nice to meet you all!"
When everyone in the venue saw this, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they could only hold their hands together and say: "Jie Yuanlang!"
One of them reluctantly saluted, and after that, he came over and looked at Jia Lan maliciously: "Are you Jie Yuanlang?"
Jia Lan pointed at himself and said with a smile: "How can it be false? Didn't brother just shout it himself?"
Everyone laughed.
The man's face turned red with anger, but he didn't know how to answer. Could it be that he was distracted just now, and his arrogance disappeared for a moment in embarrassment.
Jia Lan did not overly embarrass this person, and raised his hand: "I don't know your surname?"
This person was able to win the election, and his temperament was naturally not like that of Fang Tangjing. He quickly calmed down and replied: "I am Cao Runqiang, a member of the Daxing family in Shenjing. My father and ancestors are in charge of weaving in Gusu, the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this person announcing his family name. Some knowledgeable people looked at this person in a different way. Even Jia Lan was slightly surprised.
This person turned out to be one of the three weavers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The so-called three weaving offices refer to the three weaving offices in Jiangning, Gusu, and Yuhang that were established in the pre-Ming Dynasty. They were initially managed by the weaving eunuchs. After the founding of the Xia Dynasty, the three weaving offices were deposed for a short period of time. Taizu abolished the vassals of the pre-Ming dynasty.
, but felt that the southeast was an important financial and taxation area and had to exercise restraint, so he reopened the third weaving office and set up supervisors and treasury officials, who updated it every three years.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong, because Sanzhi Zao paid a lot of tribute and accounted for almost half of the revenue from the inner treasury, and also played the role of the emperor's mouthpiece in several major southeastern cases, Sanzhi Zao was upgraded to the title of Chief, and was actually given the title of governor of the former Han Dynasty.
As a result, Sanzhi became a position that concurrently held finance and taxation, rectification, internal affairs, and served as the emperor's eyes and ears.
Moreover, San Zhi Zao was appointed by the emperor's close confidant, and it was not easy for him to serve for more than ten years. The world regarded San Zhi Zao as the emperor's personal property.
The Cao family weaved in Gusu. In the early years of the imperial dynasty, he served as Taizu's personal soldier, was granted the title of baron, and later served as supervisor of Gusu. He was subsequently promoted to chief executive. During the Jiayou period, he was deeply trusted by the emperor.
He has been in charge for several generations and his family has not fallen into decline. No wonder Cao Runyan has a look of arrogance on his face.
It's just a fight in front of Jialan...
"It turns out he is the son of Cao Zhizhuo's family. No wonder he was born so handsome. My younger brother Jia Lan has no name. My father is a member of the Shuntian Prefecture. My ancestor served in the Ministry of Industry. My great-grandfather and great-grandfather was the founding auxiliary of the founding of the country.
Wu Chen Rongguo Gong..."
Jia Lan recited the family name seriously, and the long string of titles made Cao Runjing extremely uncomfortable, and the people waiting next to him couldn't help but laugh.
It's also because he was accustomed to being arrogant and suddenly forgot that Jia Lan was the direct descendant of Rongguo. Although the Jia family was in decline, the two generations of Rongguo dukes were so famous that even today people often praise him. He was just lifting a stone.
Smash yourself in the foot.
At this time, a clerk came to report that the examiner had arrived and invited the candidates to enter the inner courtyard.
Jia Lan didn't say much at this time. He cupped his hands and walked inside.
Cao Runxiang woke up and immediately quickened his pace to catch up, and soon walked in front of Jia Lan.
According to logic and convention, when new imperial examination candidates meet their masters, they should naturally be ranked first with Jieyuan as the leader. However, conventions are just conventions after all, and there are no explicit regulations. Cao Runqian took advantage of this loophole and walked in front of Jia Lan, simply because he wanted to be disgusted.
Just someone else.
Jia Lan didn't argue and just let him go first. Cao Runyan looked back at Jia Lan with a victorious expression on his face.
Soon Cao Runxian was in front, Jia Lan was behind, followed by Jing Kui, Ya Kui, and a group of Chinese-style officials crossed the threshold and entered the main hall.
All the examiners in the hall recognized Jia Lan from the previous extra examinations, and now they were all puzzled when they saw a stranger walking in front of Jia Lan.
The examiner, Mr. Yin Shenghong of Shuntian Prefecture, looked a little haggard due to the long days of work. When he saw Cao Runxi and Shi Shiran walking in the front, a meaningful look suddenly flashed in his eyes. He did not speak, but just looked at him with his eyes as the deputy examiner.
Tianxuezheng had some exchanges.
Shuntian was very upright in his studies and politics, and attached great importance to etiquette and order. He looked at Cao Runxiang with an unhappy expression: "Are you Jia Lan?"
Hearing the unhappy tone of Xuezheng, Cao Run groaned in his heart, because he had been studying under Dou's academy before, and he only knew Shuntian Xuezheng and had never met him, but he had heard people say this.
People are more traditional and know that they have violated taboos in order to stand out.
However, he relied on his Cao family background, and after experiencing a brief panic, he was not very afraid, so he had no choice but to report his family status.
"Absurd!" Sure enough, Cao Runqian's arrogance angered Shuntian Academic Affairs, and he immediately stood up and reprimanded him.
The examiner's reprimand in this class is no small matter. A formal reprimand is like a record in later generations and must be included in the file. It is said that "on a certain day in a certain year, so-and-so was reprimanded by so-and-so for something."
Today, the new imperial examination candidates will pay a visit to the examiners. There will be censors in the hall, so they can be recorded immediately.
When Cao Runqian saw this, his head started to sweat, obviously he also thought about this joint.
"Oh...it turns out to be the weaving Cao family. I have admired him for a long time..." Sheng Hong smiled weakly, helped Cao Runjian out of the siege, and then greeted the Cao family elders, pretending to be close to him.
Jia Lan on one side almost couldn't help but laugh after listening to Sheng Hong's words.
Obviously the examiner is also a Yin-Yang weird style, and Jia Lan is the most familiar with it.
Sheng Hong is obviously giving eye drops to Cao Runyan and even the Cao family. Even if he doesn't reciprocate, there must be the emperor's eyes and ears present. Cao Runyan's various performances today are expected to be heard by the emperor soon.
[I don’t know what grudges Sheng Hong has with the Cao family...]
Just as Jia Lan was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the hall quieten down. Knowing that it was his turn, he stepped forward, bowed with both hands, and said respectfully: "Disciple Jia Lan, I am leading a group of Chinese-style scholars for the Shuntianfu Township Examination this year to pay homage to all the examiners!" All the officials who followed Jia Lan also bowed and saluted together: "Disciple, pay homage to the examiners!"
One laurel list every three years.
How many people study hard for this moment, waiting for this greeting?!
There are three thousand scholars, and one hundred people can be promoted. People in the world often say that gold can promote people, and silver can promote people. Once successful, they will leap over the dragon gate like Fan Jin.
Suddenly, Jia Lan suddenly felt something in his heart and noticed that there was an abnormality in the aura around him. Because he was lowering his head at the moment, he was so blessed that he boldly visualized the "Beidou Sutra".
The spiritual sense unfolded, and the induction of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was transmitted without any hindrance. Jia Lan's body was shaken, and he saw a purple, black and yellow energy that he had never encountered before intertwined, and wrapped Jia Lan heavily. p>
Immediately, his consciousness surged, his soul swayed, and his body became ethereal in his sight, as if he could see through every part of his body.
Soon, Jia Lan was completely surrounded by this haze.
