Wang Xian first said hello to his mother, because he had a guest, and he just wanted to go back after sitting down for a while. Aunt Wang didn't see her son for a while, and when she saw that his buttocks were not getting hot, she walked away. Naturally, she complained unhappily, so Wang Xian had to ask his mother.
I promised that I would come back to talk to her later, and then I let her go.
The Wang family's house was personally selected by the grandson and bought from a high-ranking official. The previous owner was from Suzhou. His family was wealthy and he had extraordinary taste. He had managed the garden beautifully and he had lived there for only a few years.
For some reason, he retired early, which ultimately gave Wang Xian's family an advantage. To be honest, most of this family must improve their appreciation level, otherwise living in such a beautiful garden would be a bit of a waste...
Wang Xian walked along the cobblestone path for a while, and all the servants he met along the way stepped to the side of the road, bowed their heads respectfully, and entered a flower gate, which was the west courtyard where he and Lin Qing'er lived.
There were three flower halls, with green gauze curtains hanging in front of the doors, and a pair of maids with pretty features standing at the foot of the steps. Seeing him coming, one of them called out loudly, and the other opened the bead curtain and invited the second master to come in.
In the flower hall of the west courtyard, Wang Gui was greeting the guests for Wang Xian. Because Lin Qing'er was pregnant and could not bear to sit for a long time, and there were male guests, she had already gone back to her room to rest. Meanwhile, Chai Che and other local officials were accompanying him on his northern tour.
So Wang Gui had to take over. Fortunately, Wang Da is no longer the Wang Da he used to be. He has been doing business for several years and has seen a lot of people in the world. Although he cannot have in-depth exchanges with these new scholars, at least he will not be indifferent.
.
When Wang Xian came in, only one gentleman stood up to greet him... In addition to Wang Gui and Lin Rongxing, there were also Li Yu, Wang Han and other new scholars who were lucky enough to escape and were named on the gold list.
"Haha, I apologize for keeping you waiting for so long." Wang Xian bowed his hands to everyone and apologized: "I thought I would be back at noon at most, but the delay is really my fault."
He apologized profusely, but no one dared to blame him. Li Yu smiled and said, "Your Excellency is busy with official duties, but we are the idlers who are bothering you."
"What you are saying is pretentious," Wang Xian scolded with a smile. He sat down next to his eldest brother and said, "You are now a second-ranked Jinshi and a disciple of the Emperor. You are about to be selected for the imperial examination. You must not be like this idle person."
Let’s get involved
The so-called library selection is an examination organized by the Hanlin Academy for new scholars. Those with excellent scores can sit in the library to study and become common people. With this extremely noble qualification, it will be easier to become an official in the future and the speed of promotion will be faster.
Being far ahead of others is a good thing that all Jinshi dream of.
"I won't show off my ugliness." Li Yu waved his hands and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Others don't know about me, and you don't know about me either? I feel like being a Jinshi is like a dream. How can I dare to hope for a commoner?"
Everyone laughed and said, "There are not many experts in this subject. You might be able to do it if you try."
"I am always happy when I am content with my content." Li Yu was determined not to be moved. In fact, he knew that it was not that the Tongjinshi did not choose Shujishi, but that would only be possible if the articles were exceptionally beautiful. With his own little ability, it was impossible.
Those who can gain the discernment of those Hanlin seniors.
"Just be content," Wang Xian said with a smile. "Although it's not as good as the tiger class, the so-called distribution of supplementary supplies to various provinces is just a formality, and it makes no difference." Shu Ji
A scholar has been in office for three years. After disbanding, if he becomes a magistrate of a county or a prefecture, he can take the vacancy out of the capital and is called a "tiger class". He will be appointed immediately when he arrives at the place without waiting for a vacancy. However, he will be appointed as soon as he is ranked down, but there is no need to wait for a vacancy.
Jinshi who are selected as Shujishi are directly assigned to various provinces to wait for vacancies. They often have to run in the superior Yamen for a while before they can fill in the county magistrate. As for how long this period of time lasts, it depends on personal luck and ability. If not
Luck and ability come with being on the bench for three years.
However, there is someone in Li Yu's family who is in the court. His uncle is already a second-rank chief envoy, so he will not be kept waiting for a long time.
Wang Xian looked at Lin Rongxing and Wang Han and said, "What about you?"
"We still have to try our luck." Several people laughed and said, "This time none of the experts from Zhejiang and Jiangxi are here. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to give it a try, we will regret it for the rest of our lives."
"Yes, if we still fail to win this time, we have nothing to regret. It's really because our skills are not good..." Everyone burst out laughing, really calling Qia a classmate young and in his prime.
Seeing their high-spirited looks, Wang Xian felt strong envy in his heart. He really wanted to exchange his fourth-grade official uniform for them, if for no other reason than that they could stay away from the torrent and whirlpool that would follow and enjoy a new period of science.
The success of the number one scholar...
Seeing that he was a little distracted, the laughter of the Jinshi gradually died down, but Wang Xian reacted quickly and quickly came back to his senses: "It just suddenly occurred to me that Mr. Liang Qianliang, the original Hanlin scholar, was supposed to be your seat teacher.
of……"
Everyone sighed. Liang Qianliang, the examiner, was demoted to a civilian because of a fraud case in the examination room. He has sadly left Beijing. Half his life's hard work has been in vain. It is really pitiful. But for Li Yu and others, if the examiner had not been changed, they would
He couldn't win, so he didn't feel much towards Liang Qian.
"But even though Liang Qian left, the Hanlin Academy today is still dominated by people from Jiangxi." But it was obvious that Wang Xian was not just sighing. He said calmly: "Mr. Hu Ge owes me a favor."
Everyone immediately understood that if Wang Xian had not turned the tide on the examination fraud case, Hu Guang's head would have been moved, and the entire Jiangxi gang would have been beaten. So Wang Xian was really humble when he said that Hu Guang owed him a favor.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is the benefactor of the entire Jiangxi Gang.
The selection of the academy is not as serious as the imperial examination. There are no rigid standards for who should be selected and who should not be selected. As long as Wang Xian makes a little gesture, those in the Hanlin Academy will definitely give him face.
Everyone was ecstatic when they heard this. This had nothing to do with moral integrity. After fighting in the examination room for so many years, they had long understood that the examination room was a battlefield, and heroes were judged by victory or defeat. No matter what method you use, as long as you don't get caught, you are a hero.
Hearing this, Li Yu said with saliva on his face: "After hearing what you said, even I want to change my mind and take the exam."
"Save it for yourself." Wang Xian rolled his eyes at him and said, "If I really ask you to sit in the office for three years, revising history and compiling books every day, will you be able to bear it?"
"Forget it, life is short, there are only three years left, so I'd better enjoy myself while I can." Li Yu shook his head like a rattle, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
"You can take it easy," one of the same year said with a smile: "I heard that after becoming a county magistrate, there are two things you must do. They are to get an IM number and get a small number. It doesn't matter what number you choose. The key is to get a small number. But
You must be restrained." Everyone burst out laughing again.
"Anyway, prepare for the selection of the museum. You don't have to worry about anything else." After laughing, Wang Xian suppressed his smile and said sternly to everyone: "This is a matter of selection of the museum. If you win, you will be regarded as a common man. If you don't win, you will be a good person."
When you become a Bailihou in the local area, if you have any ideas or encounter any difficulties, just talk to me. We are close brothers. In short, I will try my best to help."
"Thank you, sir." Everyone said respectfully. They were not surprised by Wang Xian's attitude, because he always took care of his fellow villagers in this way, and he could do his best for those who were absent from the examination. Naturally, he would not treat them like the new Jinshi.
Poor... Nowadays people say that Wang Xian is more popular among his fellow villagers than Fang Bin Fang Butang, and it is not unfounded.
All the Jinshi had dinner at Wang Xian's place and then left one after another. Wang Xian sent them away and went to his wife's place to report first. He planned to have a chat with her and then go back to see his wife, but he did not sit down in the main room.
It didn't take long for him to realize that his mother had a bad look on his face, and his father also looked bad on his face.
"Mom, if you have something to say, just say it." If you extend your head, it will be a knife. If you shrink your head, it will be a knife. Wang Xian said with emotion: "My son, if you do something wrong, I will hit you or scold you. Even if you want my head, I will kill you."
No ambiguity
"What do I want your head for? To play football." I rolled my eyes at him angrily and said, "Let me ask you, is your sister's old relationship with that Yu Qian... rekindled?"
"Is this it?" Wang Xianxin said, so that's what happened, so he wanted to go over vaguely and said: "What did Yin Ling say?"
"She said, she said..." I rolled my eyes in anger and said, "She has identified Yu Qian. No matter how good the grandson is, there must be a first-come, first-served..."
"What Yin Ling said makes sense..." Wang Xian stroked the short beard on his chin and said, "She is indeed a good girl who values love and justice."
"Okay, you big-headed devil." When Aunt Wang heard what he said, she knew that he had been pulled over by the silver bell. She was so angry that she raised her hands and said: "She is not sensible and neither are you. Your Highness is the future emperor. You
I heard who dares to steal something the emperor likes?"
"Mom, Yin Ling is not a thing..." Wang Xian persuaded him earnestly. After saying this, he felt that the words were really unpleasant. He quickly changed his words and said: "I mean, Yin Ling is a person, a living person. It is true that my grandson likes her."
, but she also has someone she likes." She sighed and said, "It's not sweet to be strong, so why would you embarrass your most beloved daughter?"
"Why am I embarrassing her?" I was trembling with anger. She poked Wang Xian's forehead with her index finger and said, "Isn't it because of you? You will be under the hands of your grandson for the rest of your life."
"I believe my great-grandson is not that kind of person," Wang Xian said calmly: "Even if my great-grandson is that kind of person, I will not trade my sister's lifelong happiness for my own future."
"How do you know that Yin Ling will not be happy when she marries her grandson?" I said angrily.
Of course Wang Xian can't say. I know that Xiao Hei's life span is less than forty years old, and Yu Qian lived to be sixty years old. He still eats delicious food and is in great health. If it hadn't been for Xiao Hei's eldest son, he would have lived to the age of sixty.
Eighty is not a problem... Wang Xian simply can't imagine what if Yin Ling marries Xiao Hei and the prince they give birth to is named Zhu Qizhen? Then his nephew personally kills the national hero who turned the tide and his good brother.
