The next morning, Lin Jue went to the Hangzhou government office to ask for an audience with Yan Zhengsu. Yan Zhengsu was busy, but he still took some time to meet with Lin Jue.
When Yan Zhengsun saw Lin Jue, his face was full of smiles. After seeing the ceremony, Yan Zhengsun smiled and said: "Sure enough, you have not insulted Brother Dunru's name, and it was beyond my surprise. I thought you had not passed the test.
It’s a question, but I didn’t expect you to get first place. I’m so happy and congratulated.”
Lin Jue hurriedly humbled himself and said: "It's just luck. The students from Zhejiang Province are hiding dragons and crouching tigers, and they are as strong as the forest. I don't know why they chose me as the first. To be honest, I still can't believe it."
Yan Zheng solemnly stroked his beard and chuckled: "The strongest among the strongest. I looked at your answer sheet and found that Jieyuan is worthy of his name. The poem "Bu Suanzi" is really well written. I think this poem is Dunru."
Brother must like it. 'Pick up all the cold branches and refuse to live on them, the lonely sandbank is cold.' A good sentence, with character."
Lin Jue cupped his hands and said: "Master Yan can tell at a glance that this poem was indeed written by me after experiencing Mr.'s character and situation. I have never had such an understanding based on my own experience."
Yan Zhengsun smiled and nodded.
Lin Jue then started to talk about the topic: "I came to see you today because I want to ask you to agree to something."
"What's the matter? Just say it."
"That's it. The Xuezheng Yamen issued a notice requiring all those who passed the autumn exam to gather in the official school, saying that this is necessary for next spring exam."
Yan solemnly nodded and said: "This is a rule. Chunwei is the final exam. You are no longer ordinary students, but tribute students of Chunwei. Xuezheng Yamen will naturally gather you together, not only to strengthen your lectures in a unified way, but also to actively prepare for the exam.
, and I want to teach you some rules for the Spring Palace Examination. The Spring Palace Examination is hosted by the Ministry of Etiquette. Important members of the imperial court and even the current emperor may come to the scene in person. Some etiquette things must be taught. Otherwise, once the etiquette is violated, not only the personal
If you do, it will also affect the road government where you are."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "I understand. However, I would like to ask Mr. Yan for permission to be absent because I want to leave Hangzhou for the capital in the near future."
"Going to the capital? Why?" Yan Zhengsu asked in surprise.
Lin Jue sighed: "I didn't even go to see my teacher and his wife off when they left Hangzhou. Now that the Qiuwei exam is over, I want to go to the capital to serve them for a while and fulfill my duty as a disciple. If it weren't for my teacher's cultivation, I, Lin Jue, would
How could it be today? Moreover, serving beside my mentor and listening to his teachings may be more helpful for the Spring Examination."
Yan Zhengsheng thought for a while and said: "Do you know that your husband is about to be awarded the post of Yushi Zhongcheng? I'm afraid I don't have time to teach you. Well, on the sixth day of next month, I will also leave my post and go to Beijing. If you really want to go, why not?
Just go with me."
Lin Jue hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, no, no, let's skip it. It's very inconvenient to go to the capital with the adults. Those who don't know may think that there is some relationship between the adults and me. It will inevitably attract some gossip in the future. I am
It’s nothing, but you can’t damage your honor.”
Yan Zheng smiled solemnly and said: "I'm not worried, but you are worried. That's all, I won't force it. In fact, what you said is right, spring is coming, I believe you will win the spring, go to Beijing with me, and you will be in the future
Damn it, maybe someone is really gossiping and saying some irrelevant things. Hmm...Brother Fang will definitely teach you about driving etiquette when you get to the capital, so don’t worry about it.
I agree, I will order someone to inform Ouyang Pu that you don’t have to go to Xuezheng Yamen to receive training.” At noon, Lin Jue arrived at Prince Liang’s Mansion. This was at the invitation of Prince Liang. After the results were released the day before yesterday,
Knowing that Lin Juezhong knew Yuan, King Liang ordered someone to invite Lin Jue to a banquet at the palace, saying that he wanted to celebrate Lin Jue. Lin Jue didn't want to go to the banquet, but he wanted to come to discuss things with Shen Tan today, so
I had to come.
During this meeting, Lin Jue felt that the prince and young prince seemed to have something different about him in their words and deeds. It seemed that they had some real respect and humility for themselves, which was something Lin Jue felt before.
Needless to say, the little prince Guo Kun has always acted like a arrogant superior in front of Lin Jue. After the incident with the little princess came to light, he became even more arrogant and insolent.
He was always shouting and killing, and there was no respect at all. Even though Lin Jue had done so many things for the palace, the young prince still acted like "you should serve us." But today
, there was obviously a hint of awe in Guo Kun's eyes.
Although Prince Liang is not as rude as Guo Kun, he is always smiling and polite when meeting Lin Jue. But Lin Jue knows that it is just an illusion. It is just the attitude that Prince Liang Guo Bing always treats others. His face
In fact, the smile on his face had nothing to do with his inner feelings. It was a false etiquette. But today, Lin Jue also felt that there was a hint of sincerity in Prince Liang's smile towards him.
Lin Jue knew very well in his heart that it was precisely because of the results of this autumn exam that the prince and his son understood one thing. That is, their future would be bright without relying on the support of the prince. They had completely underestimated themselves.
, the idea that he should work for them and become a staff member of the palace has probably been completely dissipated. This also proves that Lin Jue’s previous idea was right. Only by relying on his own independent enterprising can he win over this pair of royals.
The true respect of noble father and son.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lin Jue even saw a sense of crisis in the eyes of the father and son.
The atmosphere of the banquet at noon was very harmonious. Guo Bing encouraged Lin Jue more and spoke sincerely, just like he would to his nephew, giving people a feeling of spring breeze. Lin Jue naturally looked flattered. In any case, in the face of other people's kindness,
Even if you are just pretending, you have to pretend. Not to mention that I will definitely have more bonds with this father and son in the future.
At the end of the banquet, Lin Jue informed Guo Bing and his son of his decision to leave for the capital. Guo Bing and his son were quite surprised. Lin Jue explained for the same reason.
Guo Bing nodded and smacked his lips and said: "It turns out that I am going to serve the teacher, which is what I should do. I originally wanted to invite you to come to the house to talk more during this period, but it seems that it can't be done."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "There are so many opportunities. If the prince wants to meet me, it's not just a matter of saying a word."
The young prince Guo Kun suddenly said from the side: "Lin Jue, I'm afraid you won't have a place to stay when you go to the capital. My palace has several properties in the capital. Well, I have a house near the Daxiangguo Temple, and the environment is quite elegant.
, I gave it to you. It should be regarded as a gift from my palace to you as a congratulatory gift for your victory."
Guo Bing looked at his son with some surprise. His son was too generous. The house near Daxiangguo Temple was worth a lot of money. It was a house located in the most prosperous place in the center of Bianliang City. Guo Kun spent ten
The house he bought for ten thousand taels of silver and spent a lot of money on decorating it was the house he planned to return to Bianliang to live in. Unexpectedly, he was willing to give it to Lin Jue.
Lin Jue hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "Thank you for your kindness, young prince. I dare not accept such a heavy gift. I went to the capital to serve my husband and wife, so naturally I live with them. Lin Jue accepted the kindness of young prince."
Guo Kun frowned and said: "What? Don't you appreciate it? With your relationship with our palace, what's the point of giving you a house? We won't go to the capital anyway, so the house will just sit there. Isn't it bad to dislike the house? Father
The king has a former palace in the west of Bianhe River that was gifted by the late emperor. It's a pity that you can't live in it, otherwise what if you are allowed to live there?"
Lin Jue hurriedly waved his hands and said with a smile: "I don't dare, that's not what I meant. The prince and the young prince are sincere to me, Lin Jue, I don't know. But I just went to the capital to take the Spring Examination. I don't know if I can pass the exam.
If I don't pass the exam, I will have to go back to Hangzhou and be one of my ordinary people. What's the use of a house in the capital? Furthermore, even if I'm lucky enough to pass the exam, I may not stay in the capital. So it's not that I'm ungrateful, but that it's useless.
"
Guo Kun smacked his lips and said: "I haven't taken back the things I gave away, and I don't care to keep things that others don't like. If you don't accept them, I still have to give them away. Doesn't my girl often go to the capital to play? Give them away.
I will send her the house deed and land deed later. Lin Jue, no matter what, you have accepted this favor."
Guo Bing was even more confused. It was strange that Kun'er gave the mansion to Lin Jue, but Lin Jue didn't want him and actually gave it to Caiwei out of anger. This favor is still on Lin Jue's head, so what's going on? Kun'er didn't want it.
He must be drunk and talking garbled words. I hope Lin Jue won't feel unhappy.
But Guo Kun's words had a different meaning and were extremely shocking to Lin Jue. The house was given to Guo Caiwei, and the favor was attributed to him. Doesn't that mean that giving it to Guo Caiwei was equivalent to giving it to him? Contact Guo Kun
He knows everything about the matter between himself and the little princess, could it be said that Guo Kun actually means... that there is room for change in his attitude towards the matter between himself and the little princess? Could it be that just because he was in Xie Yuan, things happened
Such a big turn of events? Lin Jue couldn't believe this.
After the banquet, the prince and his son and Lin Jue drank some tea in the flower hall and chatted for a while. Lin Jue stood up and said goodbye to the prince and his son. Guo Bing ordered Shen Tan to escort Lin Jue out of the house.
After Lin Jue left the flower hall, Guo Bing couldn't help but ask: "Kun'er, are you drunk? That big house is worth more than one hundred thousand taels of silver, how could you be willing to give it to Lin Jue? Fortunately, Lin Jue confiscated it, otherwise
You will definitely regret it after you sober up. If you ask for it back again, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"
Guo Kun said in a deep voice: "Father, I really want to give it to Lin Jue. Don't you think we have to win over Lin Jue's heart quickly? I can see that this kid will definitely be a figure in the future. Before we
I wanted to invite him to be my royal palace staff member, but he just refused and stayed away from us. This autumn he won the first place, and there is a high probability that he will be a Jinshi next spring. Once he is a Jinshi, he will be even more out of our control.
Already."
Guo Bing frowned and said: "Yes, I don't want to win him over for my use, but this guy doesn't like me. As you said, he treats us aloof, and I feel like he doesn't want to be with us.
.”
Guo Kun said: "He can't do it if he doesn't want to. In the past, it was okay if he didn't want to, but now he can't let him go if he doesn't want to. Father, if he is just a commoner, that's fine. But now, we absolutely can't let him go. This person has extraordinary talents.
The birthday gifts, the suppression of bandits, and the oiran competition are all due to him. This is a rare talent. If we don’t use it, wouldn’t it be a big loss if it is used by others?”
