Wu Anshi felt a little depressed after leaving Li Taijun.
He was often scolded by Li Taijun on weekdays, but it was different today.
When Wu Anshi first met Zhang Yue, he was accompanying Chen Shengzhi, but he didn't take it seriously at the time. But later he learned that Chen Shengzhi valued Zhang Yue, and he immediately started to recruit him.
Wu Anshi and Zhang Yue got acquainted at the county school, and later went to Beijing together, where they first formed a friendship.
At that time, Wu Chong wanted to choose a son-in-law for Shi Qi. Although Wu Anshi thought Zhang Yue was good, he never thought that a descendant from a poor family could marry his Wu family.
Rather, it was his second brother Wu Anchi who recommended Zhang Yue to Wu Chong because of his relationship with Zhang Yue's classmates.
That day, Zhang Yue and Liu Ji arrived at the Wu Mansion.
Wu Anshi believed that Liu Ji was the best candidate for his sister-in-law from beginning to end. Although Liu Ji made a marriage contract in the countryside, he heard that he was from an ordinary family and could not be compared with his own.
However, although Wu Chong was satisfied with Liu Ji, he thought he was engaged and therefore vetoed it. Instead, he approved Zhang Yue.
Wu Anshi was dissatisfied at this point, but did not express any objection, because he had no say in the matter. Later, Liu Ji won the first prize, and Wu Anshi thought that it was because of his parents' short-sightedness that they missed out on a son-in-law who was the first prize.
Later, Wu Anchi asked Zhang to go over to his house to meet Wu Chong, and then asked Yang to express his intention to get married.
Finally, Wu Anshi was very dissatisfied and decided to settle for the next best thing. Liu Ji was a top scholar, while Zhang Yue was just a student from the Imperial Academy. Not to mention whether he could pass the Jinshi exam or not, even if he was to pass the examination, it was still a matter of doubt.
In Wu Anshi's eyes, it was very difficult for him and his brother to pass the entrance examination. It was not so easy for Zhang Yue, who had no official background, to pass the examination.
Therefore, his parents fell in love with Zhang Yue, which was already a great blessing. The other party could not help but burst into tears of gratitude to the Wu family, but Zhang Yue proposed to get married only after becoming a Jinshi.
this is not……
Therefore, Wu Anshi was very dissatisfied. Not only did she get rid of Tang Jiu, who had saved his life, but she was also very prejudiced against Zhang Yue. She even said to her mother that Zhang Yue was "unfamiliar" and even felt that Zhang Yue was "unfamiliar".
Alien mind.
At this moment, Wu Anchi and Zhang Yue were chatting.
Wu Anchi was very happy after Zhizhang Yue passed the third place in the high school exam.
He understood why Wu Anshi left and never returned. His brother had been unhappy with Zhang Yue for a long time, and he also knew the reason.
Wu Anchi felt uneasy and told a few jokes. Zhang Yue could pick up on every one of them. It seemed that he had no grudges in his heart.
Seeing this, Wu Anzhi was also relieved.
At this time, a maid wearing a blue armor came in and announced, "Aunt Wen and Auntie are here."
Wu Anzhi knew in his heart that this Wen Jifu was a shrewd and powerful man, otherwise he would have to come today.
Wu Anchi smiled and said, "It's just the right time."
Just after Wenji arrived, the fifteenth mother got off the carriage.
The fifteenth mother said: "I will go to my mother's seventeenth place first."
Wen Jifu smiled and said, "I know."
The fifteenth mother looked at Wen Jifu worriedly and said, "Don't wander around."
Wen Jifu couldn't help but laugh. He couldn't help but think of the handsome young man he saw in the Wu Mansion last time. He immediately walked into the hall.
Everyone in the Wu family knew that Wen Jifu was of high status and treated him with more care.
Wen Ji just walked into the guest room and met Ouyang Fa, Zhang Yue and Wu Anchi.
Wen Jifu looked at everyone and smiled and said, "They are all here."
They all saw the ceremony together. Wen Jifu looked at Zhang Yue and said with a smile, "I heard the news yesterday that he was ranked third in the Imperial Examination with a high degree. My wife and I are very happy, and I would like to congratulate him."
Zhang Yue cupped his hands and said, "This matter has actually reached the ears of my brother and sister-in-law. I'm really ashamed that I can't bear it."
Wen Jifu said with a smile: "How can I tell? When I first met Du at the Jinming Pond, I knew that he was an extraordinary person. Now I have really guessed him. Obtaining fame is like picking something out of a bag."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Zhang Yue felt that Wen Jifu was even more enthusiastic about him.
Everyone sat down and talked for a while.
At this time, Wenji Futu lowered his voice and said: "There is something that you need to keep quiet for now."
Everyone’s ears pricked up.
Wen Jifu lowered his voice and said: "After the results were released yesterday, someone reported it to Kaifeng Mansion, saying that this time at Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial College, there were examiners who were secretly communicating with the candidates for personal gain."
Zhang Yue was slightly surprised. Not even a day after the exam, something like this happened.
“This matter has alarmed the officials, and they are likely to order a thorough investigation into the matter.”
What is the intention of Zhang Yuexin Zhiwenji’s words?
If you have cheated on the test and left out the beginning and the end, then now you have to wipe your ass before the official orders a thorough investigation. This is what Wen Jifu meant when he leaked the news in advance.
However, Zhang Yue has done nothing wrong, so there is no need to worry.
Wu Anzhi said: "It is enough for ordinary officials to come forward. I am afraid that the Kaifeng government will come forward. In this case, the officials will investigate the matter strictly."
Wen Jifu said: "Although officials are said to be tolerant and have been lenient to their subordinates for a long time, there is no guarantee that they will suddenly become serious at some point."
Zhang Yue said: "In a few days there will be a deer-crowing banquet. It won't be before the deer-crowing banquet..."
"It's hard to say. Although Du Zhi is upright and is not afraid of slanted shadows, but you are the third one, there is no guarantee that no one will be jealous." Wen Jifu reminded kindly.
Zhang Yue thought, Wen Jifu was right, he was afraid of unforeseen disasters, or some people were just jealous, and it didn't rule out that some people wanted to make a big case to claim credit, and targeted people with no "background" like himself.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with being cautious. It is better to take precautions in advance.
Now that I have gained more experience, I can no longer look at things just at the moment, but also at the next few steps. Making friends should not be purely based on feelings, but also from a utilitarian perspective.
Although Wen Jifu is not a relative yet, he can make friends in advance, and he can know a lot of news in advance than many people.
When they were in private, Zhang Yue smiled at Wen Jifu and said, "Brother Zhou Han, I don't know if he will be free in the future. I'll treat you to a drink."
Wen Jifu looked at Zhang Yue and said, "Oh? Could it be that Sanlang has something to ask of me?"
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Nothing else, I just want to get close to Brother Zhou Han, and I would like to ask you to give me more advice in the future."
Wen Jifu said with a smile in his eyes: "Okay."
The two of them decided on a place.
Zhang Yue’s treat was not to repay a favor. A man like Wen Jifu never lacked a meal, even if it was delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Even if you are a good friend and someone helps you, the purpose is because you have something useful for the other person, and you can do them a favor when they ask for you in the future. Remember when Zhang Yue first came out of society, Zhang Yue always felt that just asking for a meal would be enough.
After repaying the favor, the dinner party is actually the beginning of establishing friendship.
Hence Zhang Yue's words, "Please give me more advice in the future." The implication is that the two of us have a long-standing friendship.
Wenji understood it as soon as he heard it.
As for what Zhang Yue had on him, Wen Jifu needed it.
Zhang Yue guessed that in the past, Wen Yanbo's eight sons, and Wen Ji as the sixth son, must have been under great pressure from competition, and there is still no Yin official.
Therefore, Wen Jifu received limited help from his father and preferred to seek help from his wife's family.
After that there was a family dinner.
Brothers Zhang Yue, Ouyang Fa, Wen Jifu, Wu Anshi and Wu Anchi shared a table. As for the female family members, they also shared a table, but in the inner courtyard.
Zhang Yue knew in his heart that the Seventeenth Mother must be among them, but she couldn't see her so close, which was really unpleasant. Zhang Yue also lamented that the guard between men and women in the official family was too strict, and they didn't say a word to each other.
, it’s really depressing that I can’t even meet face to face.
Everyone was talking at the table.
Zhang Yue heard Wu Anshi say that Wu Chong was about to move to Huainan as a transit envoy.
Huainan Road was one of the richest roads in the Song Dynasty.
Zhang Yue thought to himself, from the west of Beijing to Huainan, is this the rhythm of Wu Chong serving as the top local administrator in the Song Dynasty?
Wu Anshi had just received Li Taijun's lesson and said: "If Sanlang becomes a Jinshi and becomes an official in the future, he might as well go to the place where his father ruled and serve as an official. At least it can be regarded as a support."
Zhang Yue heard that Wu An's poem seemed to mean repairing, but it didn't sound like it.
Wen Jifu smiled and said: "I think Jingxi is very good. When Lao Taishan served in Jingxi, he was well-known by everyone in the court."
Wu Anshi liked others to praise him, and said happily: "Then I have to thank the Duke for taking care of him."
Wu Anshi suddenly sighed: "Nowadays, those who win the Jinshi have to be sent to other places, even if they are the number one scholar. As for..."
Wu Anshi looked at Zhang Yue's implication, so what if Zhang Yue won the Jinshi? Our Wu family is not in a hurry to get married, otherwise his sister would follow you Zhang Yue to a remote place to suffer.
Ouyang Fa and Wu Anzhi looked at Zhang Yue to see what he said.
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "I was lucky enough to get third place in the exam, but I may not be as happy as I want in the provincial exam. Now I am thinking about coping with the provincial exam. If I don't pass, I won't worry about it. I haven't thought about it in the future."
Hearing this, Ouyang Fa praised him and said: "Yes, one step counts. Even if you fail, it doesn't matter. You are only seventeen if you wait two years, and you will not be nineteen if you wait two years. Everything is worth it."
Wu Anshi was about to speak but stopped when he heard the words, and raised his wine cup.
Wu Anchi saw that Wu Anshi was silent and expressed his attitude: "You can wait, you can wait."
Wen Jifu said with a smile: "I can see that Du Zhi has a lot of beauty in his heart, but it is too shallow to measure it by a provincial examination. By the way, who among you could have imagined that Du Zhi would be ranked third in the first test in high school?
.To be honest, I didn’t expect it first.”
“But it’s not okay to refuse to accept it now. I don’t think anyone needs to worry about it.”
Everyone nodded. Even Wu Anshi thought to himself after hearing Wen Jifu's words. With his family background, he was able to be where he is now, which he never expected. In fact, his parents and Shi Qi are both discerning people and can recognize people in the rough.
Distinguishing talent in a humble way, only oneself...
Thinking of this, Wu Anshi also put aside his prejudice and advised: "Sanlang, come and have a drink."
Immediately, everyone stopped talking about heavy topics and started talking about light-hearted romantic affairs.
Zhang Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this. If the most astute group in the world is the mother-in-law, then the most difficult group in the world is the uncle.
But now... I can finally let go and eat and drink.
To be honest, the cooks in Wu Mansion are really good at cooking food and cook it better than those in Fan Lou.
So Zhang Yue swept the food on the table in a hurry. As for the appearance of the food, he never cared what others said. The old man said that what he could eat into his stomach was a blessing.
