After coming out of Yao Guangxiao's Zen room, Wang Xian saw that Zhu Zhanji was a little distracted. He went over and called softly, and then he came back to his senses, "Come out, let's go back."
After getting on the carriage and leaving Qingshou Temple, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but ask: "What did I tell you?"
"Give me a tip bag," Wang Xian threw the tip bag to Zhu Zhanji and said, "Tell me to open it and take a look at it when it's most critical."
"What is so mysterious?" Zhu Zhanji now became interested and was about to break the seal.
"It's useless to say it starts early..." Before Wang Xian could finish his words, he saw that Zhu Zhanji had already torn open the bag of tips.
"Let's see what the connection is." Zhu Zhanji smiled and unfolded the piece of paper inside, and saw two words written on it, "Shangjiu," "What does this mean?"
"How do I know if you take it out now?" Wang Xian said angrily: "I told you that it would be useless to open it earlier."
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'll just give it back to you." Zhu Zhanji stuffed the piece of paper back into the bag and threw it to Wang Xianda, "I'm going to pay New Year's greetings to my aunt, will you go?"
"Stop playing tricks on me, okay?" Wang Xian rolled his eyes and said, "I'm going to my teacher's place for dinner."
"Then why did you come out?" Zhu Zhanji did not respond.
"I'm talking about the teacher, Bachelor Wei from Hanlin Academy." Wang Xiandao: "Not the old monk from Qingshou Temple.
"Okay, I'll send you there first." Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "Xueshi Wei is a good person. He has a good relationship with Master Jin and Master Yang."
"Oh..." Wang Xianxin said. Sure enough, people are divided into groups, and birds of a feather flock together. Teacher Wei, who seemed so out of place in Fuyang County, did not expect that he would become like a fish in water after entering Beijing. He couldn't help but secretly wonder which group and category he belonged to.
?
The former Fuyang Wei County magistrate, now the home of the Hanlin Academy's Compilation Scholar Wei, is located on the Wuyi Lane by the Qinhuai River, more than ten feet southwest of the Confucius Temple.
It means the city. Wei Xueshi's mansion is at the end of the alley. Although it is not luxurious, it is clean and spacious. Compared with his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy, it is excellent.
In fact, with only that pitiful salary, the family can barely make ends meet. Such a decent place is unimaginable... It was thanks to his good student Wang Xian that Master Sima came forward to occupy several shops in Fuyang.
They bought stocks, but half of the dividends would be transferred to Weizhi County's home. At this time, people didn't know that this was also an economic crime. Instead, they felt that it had the meaning of "a sage who cooks far away," and he didn't feel guilty at all for taking it.
.
Wang Xian had been here before, and all the servants of the Wei family knew him. They came over with smiles on their faces and congratulated him on the new year. Fortunately, Wang Xian had a handful of red envelopes prepared by Lin Qing'er in his sleeves, so he took them out.
After we were divided, we were welcomed in happily.
"My husband came at the right time," the steward of the Wei Mansion, a middle-aged man named Huang Liu, said while welcoming him into the main room: "Several of the master's friends are at the house," he said in a low voice:
"They are all distinguished men."
When Wang Xian heard this, he said, "You are really wrong. I came at the wrong time... Let him accompany a group of bitter scholars, it is better to fight with the old monk. But he can still turn around and leave?"
Bite the bullet and go in.
Entering the main room, I saw a few men in their thirties or forties, wearing casual clothes, and they seemed to be full of poetry and calligraphy, chatting and laughing. The person sitting in the master's seat was Wei Yuan, he was still the same, hung up.
With his signature iceberg face, he didn't even smile when he saw Wang Xian, he just nodded lightly.
It wasn't until Wang Xian bowed down and called him teacher that he finally showed a slight smile and said: "Get up. My dear friends, this is my useless student. I will have to ask a few friends to give me some advice in the future."
Then he introduced Wang Xian one by one: "This is Bachelor Jin from the East Palace, you must know him. This is Bachelor Shen, who is the best in the world in cursive skills; and this is Wang Xian from your hometown who is your teacher."
Bachelor."
After Wang Xian received the greetings one by one, he thought to himself that Guaiguai Longdi Cave, they are all bachelors, this is really a carrot meeting... Oh no, it is a gathering of elites. It is a pity that he has given back all his historical knowledge to the teacher, and he can't figure out the future of these people.
Is everything done?
Several bachelors looked at Wang Xian with smiles, and their eyes were very kind. The bachelor named Wang twisted his beard and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that today, I finally see the person who is determined to stay on the mountain. Xiaobenjia, this poem is written
Okay, this is writing about the integrity of our generation of scholars."
Wang Xian is so sweaty, he thinks that he is now my generation? Have you messed up your seniority?
"I like that one better. When spring comes, people in the world are like jade, and when the lamp is burning, the moon is like silver. The talent is endless." The young scholar Shen also praised: "I think Zhongde's talent is only the best in this dynasty.
Second only to Bachelor Xie!"
"Not bad, not bad. I wonder what other poems Zhongde has published?" Wang Xueshi said with a fan-like look on his face: "Can you let me wait and enjoy it?"
"I'm ashamed to say that my nephew has been busy with military affairs recently and has no interest in reciting poems or composing poems." Wang Xian said with shame, thinking that he wouldn't let me compose poems on the spot, right? No way, I have to plagiarize another one? Which ancient Chinese New Year poem is better?
Woolen cloth
When I was just scratching my head, I heard that Academician Wang didn't mean that at all. Instead, he said with an unacceptable look: "Busy with military affairs? To put it bluntly, Zhongde, are you a civil servant now?"
"I just won the scholarship last year..." Wang Xian couldn't help but said with shame.
"Do you plan to stop here for the rest of your life?" Wang Xueshi said with wide eyes: "Can a mere scholar be worthy of your eight talents?"
Wang Xianxin said, "The look in your eyes is really not good. I don't even have a fighting talent."
"Don't be offended by Zhongde. Brother Yi'an is so outspoken." Seeing his astonished expression, Young Scholar Shen hurriedly smiled and said, "But what he said is true. After all, you are a scholar, and a talented scholar. Do you want to spend your whole life trapped in the military?"
, dealing with those rough soldiers?"
"..." Wang Xian couldn't help but feel something strange. One was that the expressions of these guys were a little exaggerated, and one could see the elements of acting. At first glance, they were not acting like Zhu Zhanji; the other was a three-year-old who was older than the Chinese New Year.
We all know what to say for good luck, so why make ourselves sweat? Another thing is that Jin Wen is an official in the East Palace. He is leading troops for His Highness Taisun. How can others openly dig in front of him?
Where is the crown prince's corner? But they not only dug it, they dug it hard - then there was only one possibility, that is, Jin Wen had the same attitude as them and didn't want to let himself join the military camp anymore.
'Could it be that this guy wants to drive me out of the East Palace?' Wang Xian has always been willing to speculate on others with the greatest malice. His thoughts suddenly turned to him, and he thought about whether he seemed too capable in front of him and made this guy feel threatened? What if that's the case?
, this guy’s mind is almost as sharp as a needle nose.
Seeing that the two men were getting more and more persuasive, and finally reached the level of embarrassing their ancestors, Wang Xian was completely stunned. He didn't even notice that Wei Yuan had walked to him. Until his low voice came to his ears, Fang Yi
Ji Ling came back to his senses:
"Most of the emperor's edicts come from the hands of two bachelors. You are lucky today to have them earnestly advise each other. Why don't you quickly get lost and find your way back?"
Wang Xian was now completely sure that these people were working together to persuade him to change his ways. He couldn't help but glance at Teacher Wei and saw that he nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed. But he is not such an obedient student...unless you can guarantee it.
I won the first two rankings, otherwise how could I give up this promising job as a military advisor for my great-grandson?
Seeing that everyone was looking at him expectantly, of course he could agree first and not admit it later. But Wang Xian is no longer the gangster he was before. He is now a person with status. If he agrees in person, he cannot change his mind.
. So in the end he said softly: "Teacher, the army is about to go out. If I deserter, wouldn't I become a coward?"
"Who asked you to leave the army now?" Wei Yuan saw that there was something in his words, and he immediately said: "I mean, when you come back from the expedition, you tell the grandson that you still want to go to school and don't want to take the path of a military general.
, let Brother Shai'an talk to Taisun again, I'm afraid he won't refuse." At the end, he added: "Teacher, you are only a student, can I harm you?"
Wang Xianxin said, "Have you done too much harm to me? But I guess you will be rewarded based on your merits after going to war, and you will be able to live in a thousand households, right? When the emperor appoints an official, they can't stop you, right?"
"I just listen to the teacher..." Thinking of this, Wang Xian dealt with it easily.
"The child can be taught." All the scholars were as happy as anything, and said in unison: "Of course, the military officer position can make your children and grandchildren have no worries about food and clothing, but we, the scholars, should still seek the honors from the examination hall, so that we can complete them."
Only by achieving peace can we prevent this life."
After praising Wang Xian eloquently for a while, several bachelors got up and went to visit other people's homes. Accompanying Wei Yuan, they were sent to the door. When they turned back, Wang Xian said with a bitter face: "What kind of medicine is sold in the teacher's gourd?"
That’s all they say, you don’t know how much I weigh, if I go to take the imperial examination and pass the imperial examination, I’m afraid there will be no chance in my life..."
"If you don't have ambition, nothing will be difficult in the world, as long as you are willing," Wei Yuan put on the face of a teacher and scolded: "You just need to study hard and leave everything to your teacher."
"Uh." Even though Wang Xian was deaf, he could hear the confidence contained in these naked words. He couldn't help but widened his eyes and said, "What's going on?"
"Nothing happened..." Wei Yuan hesitated at first, but couldn't bear Wang Xian's questioning, so he entered the study with him, lowered his voice, and said half mysteriously and half proudly: "This year as a teacher was not in vain...
"
Wang Xian nodded and listened to his teacher Wei show off: "I entered the Hanlin Academy for one year, and I was accepted by them and became a member of the noble circle."
"What's the use of this circle?"
"Once Hanlin officials are sent to other places, they save money very quickly. In addition to having a high starting point and good qualifications, there is also a very important reason, which is that the senior Hanlin officials are taking care of and supporting each other, so we can do the job easily." Wei Yuan laughed.
Said: "There are many benefits that are hard to describe in just one sentence. In short, it will allow you to pass the examination."
