Chapter 68 Under the red candle, the heart of beauty
When Jiang Chaoge looked at Li Ge again, he found that Cai Wenji had actually stood up and left before Lu'er came out.
Is this okay?
Could it be that this is another world where faces are judged?
Although he had some doubts in his heart, Jiang Chaoge really wanted to meet the legendary Cai Wenji, so he bowed his hands to everyone, which meant that he gave in.
At this time, everyone stood up and congratulated Jiang Chaoge.
"Brother Jiang, you are blessed tonight!"
"Congratulations, Brother Jiang!"
It wasn't until Jiang Chaoge entered the cabinet under the guidance of Lu'er that everyone's faces darkened.
Tang Jiezhi was the first to speak: "Miss Wenji, this is nothing more than that!"
"Yes, although we also admire Mr. Jiang's talent, since we have decided on the title of 'Guoshi', we naturally have to judge the selection based on the title. Can a theory on river management be selected? Huh, this move is really a bit...
unfair."
"Haha, it's just that I have fallen in love with Mr. Jiang for a long time. The appointment of a national scholar is nothing more than a formality."
Li Zeguang also laughed at this time: "Don't be angry, everyone. Since this Cai Wenji has a false reputation, she doesn't deserve the praise I am waiting for. Why don't you go somewhere else to have a few drinks?"
"Okay, haha..."
"..."
Both Zhang Junqi and Xu Zhi remained silent. After all, they also did not agree with the 'river management theory' in their hearts.
How is it possible to take this exam?
Only Liu Hongyi was a little aggrieved: "What? You can't get the admiration of a beautiful woman, so you say that a beautiful woman is nothing more than this? I think that this river management theory... does not mean that you will not be able to take the test!"
"Really? Then Brother Liu might as well study some theories on river management to prepare for the provincial examination." Tang Jiezhi laughed: "We can wait and see how Brother Liu can get on the gold medal list with his theory on river governance, haha...
"
"You..." Liu Hongyi was a little angry.
"Okay, since we are colleagues, there is no need to talk to each other like this. Mr. Jiang is indeed talented in poetry, but he is still a little behind in national policy. And this Cai Wenji... Haha, I don't need to come again in the future, let's go.
"
"It's gone, it's gone!"
Everyone left.
Liu Hongyi and others did not stay any longer.
The last one to leave was the young man in black. He looked at the position of the cabinet inside, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then left the Nuan Pavilion.
…
Outside the Nuan Pavilion door.
As soon as the fair-faced book boy and the sword-wielding swordsman saw the young man in black coming out, they immediately went to greet him.
"Sir, it seems that you are in a good mood..."
"Well, that's good." The young man in black nodded: "This Young Master Jiang is indeed different from others. I really have some expectations for him."
"What about... Miss Wenji?" the book boy asked tentatively.
“True to the name!”
"In that case, do you want me to go..."
"No, let's go."
"yes."
…
Warm Pavilion.
Light a red candle inside.
Lu'er brewed a cup of wolfberry and ginseng tea on the table.
Jiang Chaoge glanced sideways, unmoved, ha... you think I can digest it?
Not long after.
The green gauze curtain was opened by two maids.
A girl wearing a white lotus skirt, rusty cloud-inch gold boots, and a purple smoke and white cloud belt tied around her waist walked out of it.
She looked at the young man at the table with a smile. His face was three parts beautiful, two parts elegant, and five parts tranquil.
She stepped lightly on the lotus steps and sat down in front of the young man. She lowered her head slightly and stared secretly with her almond eyes. In those five minutes of tranquility, there was another three points of pink.
"Mr. Jiang, please have tea."
With a pair of hands as slender as jade, she carefully handed the tea cup to the young man, turning her little oval-like face to one side.
Waiting for you to collect money.
So, Jiang Chaoge stretched out his hand, took the teacup handed over by the girl, and took a sip.
Sweet and delicious, with a lingering aroma in your mouth.
Then, he returned the tea from his stomach to his mouth and tasted it again...it tasted really good.
"Master Jiang seems a little confused?"
Cai Wenji slowly turned her head and looked at the young man with her almond-shaped eyes.
This Cai Wenji understands people's hearts quite well... Jiang Chaoge nodded: "I do have some doubts."
Cai Wenji nodded slightly: "Then let Wenji explain Mr. Jiang's doubts."
Having said this, she also picked up the tea cup in front of her and took a sip.
Then, he said: "Although Wen Ji is in a brothel, she often hears high-spirited talks, which are nothing more than rectifying the administration of officials, cleaning up corruption, cutting off the family, and standardizing speech.
However, although these high-minded talks sounded good, Wen Ji believed that they were just empty talk, empty but not real. Corruption in government administration has existed for thousands of years. It is not unclear, but it must be judged based on the time.
As for the family and speech... Wen Ji believed that this was not the work of one person, but that the superiors and ministers needed to work together, such as: Xiaogong and Shangjun, the emperors and ministers of the past met, and they were able to strengthen Qin and enforce the law!
But in today's Qin Dynasty, the king is still young, and everything in the court is divided between the three powers. There is neither a strong king nor a strong minister, so how can we talk about cutting down the family and common speech?
Therefore, Wen Ji only considered Gongzi's theory of river management as the best.
The scholars of the country should first understand the sufferings of the people, and the people are the same in the world. Although the poems of the prince are good, they are not as good as the ambition in the prince's heart and the heart of serving the people. Wen Ji admires her very much, so she invites her to join the cabinet. I wonder if the prince is doubtful.
untie?"
He actually guessed what I was thinking? Jiang Chaoge looked at Cai Wenji, and an inexplicable word came to his mind... Nuanbaobao!
In terms of beauty, although Cai Wenji is dignified, elegant and extraordinarily beautiful, she cannot compare to Ji Ruxue.
When it comes to strength, Cai Wenji is unlucky. She has not entered Confucianism and Taoism, so she cannot compare to Ji Ruxue.
However, in Cai Wenji, Jiang Chaoge truly felt the temperament of one of the "Four Talented Women".
Not bad, I like it very much!
So, Jiang Chaoge thought for a while and said: "My doubts have been solved, but the worries in Miss Wenji's heart have not been solved. How about I help Miss Wenji solve them?"
"Oh? What worries Wenji?"
"I just heard Miss Wenji play a piece of music in the pavilion. The music was gentle and melodious. The sound was like a thin willow and a clear spring. It was touching. However, there was a hint of sadness and sadness in the music. This sadness and sadness are not emotions or intentions. I
I guess... maybe it's Miss Wenji's ambition that cannot be extended."
"Mr. Jiang... I'm just kidding. Wen Ji is a girl, how can she have such great ambitions?"
"Yes, Miss Wenji entered a brothel because of her father's sins. She cannot take scientific examinations or serve as an official. Of course, she has no ambition to serve the country. However, Miss Wenji has studied literature since she was a child and is proficient in music.
, I thought Miss Wenji’s ambition was not to enter Confucianism and Taoism, and I have regrets in my heart, am I right?”
"Mr. Jiang, you..."
"It seems I guessed it right."
"..."
"Since Miss Wenji has ambitions for Confucianism and Taoism, she should also know that Confucianism and Taoism cultivate personal luck, but neither the imperial examination nor the official path can lead to success. Now there is only one way left, which is to write books and establish opinions."
Jiang Chaoge continued.
"Wenji is a brothel girl, who would read Wenji's book?" Cai Wenji asked.
"Well, so Miss Wen Ji needs a pen name."
"Penname? What is...?"
"To put it simply, that's it..."
Jiang Chaoge walked over.
Cai Wenji immediately responded and put her face close to hers.
So, under the red candle.
The handsome young man whispered softly into the shy girl's ear, and the girl became more and more excited as she listened. Her chest kept rising and falling, and her face was as rosy as a peach.
Lu'er next to him was dumbfounded.
What's going on? What's going on? The girl has always been aloof. Although she proposed to meet Mr. Jiang, she did not say that she would... behave like this?
