"Where is Mr. Qiao, the Censor of the Cao Patrol?" Feng Ziying pursed her lips and smiled.
"This trip to Shandong was a predestined relationship with Mr. Qiao. We weathered the adversity together and developed some friendship. After knowing that I wanted to study in the academy, Mr. Qiao took the initiative to recommend me to Qingtan Academy. I originally wanted to go to Tsinghua University.
Hui Academy or Chongzheng Academy, but Mr. Qiao directly recommended me to Qingtan Academy, so I couldn’t refuse."
Jia Lian and Jia Rong couldn't help but smack their tongues.
This is an opportunity. Of course, they cannot afford this opportunity before them. Qingtan Academy is not something they can study in, but this letter of recommendation alone immediately distinguishes Feng Ziying from other noble children.
.
This shows that Feng Ziying has gained the approval of the civil servants and nobles in the court, especially the censors and officials, who are the most difficult to deal with.
Of course, Qiao Yingjia cannot represent the entire group of censors, but he is undoubtedly one of the backbones.
He and Li Sancai jointly dealt with the Linqing civil uprising decisively, which was also well received by the court.
Not only did the cabinet praise them, but it is said that the emperor was also very satisfied, thinking that they had the courage to do their jobs and take on their responsibilities, which means that Qiao Yingjia may have room for advancement in the next step.
And Qiao Yingjia has already become a censor. If he wants to be promoted again, unless he is not in the Metropolitan Procuratorate system, then he can only hold those positions.
It is not possible to have the left and right censors at the moment, but if you have the left and right deputy censors and the left and right censors, then the chances are very high. They are real high-ranking members of the imperial court.
Feng Ziying won his favor, which was a rare opportunity.
"Da Lang, are you really planning to go to the imperial examination?" After all, Jia Lian is a few years older and thinks about things in a longer term than Jia Rong and Jia Baoyu.
Although they are a little jealous, Jia Lian and Feng Ziying both know that the foundations of the Feng family and the Jia family are incomparable, especially now that Feng Tang is at home.
If this continues, I'm afraid it won't be Feng Ziying's turn in twenty years, and I'm afraid it will be in decline, so it's normal for people to have various ideas.
"Second brother Lian, you also know that my father is trying his best to return to Datong. It is certainly comfortable to stay in the capital, but with such a big family, our family does not dare to compare with your Rongning second family. My father will
For a short-term Shenwu general, what kind of Lumi is enough for a year?"
When Feng Ziying saw Jia Lian asking about it, she felt happy.
This was just the right time to pass on the message. The second generation of Rongning House was ineffective, but it still had contacts with the other four princes and eight princes, so it happened to be a good channel to pass it on.
"My father originally wanted to go back to Datong. After all, we are familiar with each other, but now it seems that he can't go. Seeing that my father is getting older, I can't just hang around in this prison forever, can I?"
Feng Ziying was very calm, "I originally thought that if my father could return to Datong, I would hang out in prison for a few years and live a peaceful life in the future. But now I have to rely on myself. I thought that I might not be able to hang out like this. I have to
Find a way for yourself, right? You can’t wait until I get married and start a business, and all that’s left is the light archway of General Shenwu, right? That can’t be used as food, right?”
He said it very casually and naturally, but it sounded like the truth, which made Jia Lian, Jia Rong and even Jia Baoyu feel that it made sense.
General Shenwu sounds awesome, but in fact it is just a false title. There are at least dozens of these miscellaneous generals in the capital. Among the noble groups, they rank in the middle. If they have no military merits and are attacked and surrendered, they will decline very quickly.
Quick thing.
Jia Lian, Jia Rong and the others don't know what the Feng family's background is like, but looking at the size of General Shenwu's mansion and the appearance of its courtyard, they can figure it out. It's quite different from Ning Rong's second mansion.
"But you all know that the prison students who seek official positions can only go out of the capital to the lower state capitals, so go ahead. But they can only work as assistants and miscellaneous officials. They will never be able to look like a person in their lives. I think at my age,
No matter what happens, I have to give it a try. If I pass the exam, I will be able to get a sixth or seventh grade official in the capital, right?"
Feng Ziying's words naturally didn't have much impact on Jia Lian, Jia Rong and others, but to Jia Baoyu, they were undoubtedly a tease, intentionally or unintentionally. At least Jia Lian and Jia Rong looked at Jia Baoyu with a little more "no" in their eyes.
Bring out the flavor.
Of course Jia Yun didn't dare to be like Jia Lian and Jia Rong, but she was still thinking about it in her heart.
Second Master Bao is quite prosperous now, but everyone knows that it is because of the favor of his ancestors. Once the ancestors pass away a hundred years ago, it is inevitable that the eldest and second bedrooms of the Rongguo Mansion will be separated. Jia She and Jia Lian will naturally take over the title.
, but what should Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu do?
Once Jia Zheng becomes an official, what will Jia Baoyu do to support the livelihood of the people with two houses and one house?
No one believed that with Jia Baoyu's current virtue, he could afford to endure hardships and go to Xia Bianzhou County to serve as a miscellaneous official. But how could he stay at home and play with his sisters and maids all day long for the rest of his life?
Jia Baoyu also had complicated feelings.
He didn't think that Feng Ziying was targeting him, but there was no doubt that the other party's gesture was in contrast to his own.
Counting it all together in Rongguo Mansion, apart from myself, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, and probably Jia Cong, the only people who can study or are at the age of studying.
Jia Baoyu knew that Jia Huan was probably useless, but Jia Lan and Jia Cong didn't know if they had the confidence and perseverance to study.
He is the legitimate son, especially since there is an elder brother Jia Zhu who is a successful scholar and was awarded the title of Scholar at the age of fourteen. Therefore, everyone has high hopes for him and thinks that he is a scholar. This view
The look of anticipation was driving him crazy.
He doesn't like reading at all.
If he was reciting poems and writing poems in an arty manner when playing with his sisters, he could still try his best. But now in the provincial examination, the examination does not rely on poems and poems. Classical meaning and policy theory are the foundation, especially policy theory.
The importance of scientific examinations has become more and more important, and poetry and poetry have become a kind of embellishment.
How to control floods, how to develop agriculture, how to guard borders, how to conduct maritime trade, how to educate the people, how to moralize merchants, how to tame barbarians and deal with border troubles...
Since the Emperor came to the throne, policy examinations have become more and more complicated, and they have increasingly changed with the changes in the government and the times. The questions have become more and more difficult, and even the emperor and cabinet ministers have to personally participate in the judging.
But these "miscellaneous chores" that were "vulgar" in Jia Baoyu's mind became the focus of policy discussions. He felt a headache when he saw them. He was tired of even the Four Books and Five Classics, let alone learning and familiarizing with these miscellaneous chores.
.
Jia Baoyu didn't understand, how could Feng Ziying have the confidence to study at Qingtan Academy?
You must know that the ethics and academic rules of Qingtan Academy are better than those of other academies, and the Imperial College is even more incomparable. How could he, Feng Ziying, dare to go there despite his virtue?
Maybe after ten and a half months, I'm afraid I'll be kicked out of the academy? Or maybe I feel like I can't bear it, so I sneak back in despair and die out?
Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu felt a little relieved.
Feng Ziying may be taking advantage of the limelight to show off and show the outside world that she strives to make progress, but she doesn't think about whether the book is so easy to read? Is the provincial examination so easy to pass?
Brother Lian and Brother Rong didn't even dare to mention studying. I had also heard how my brother studied all night long when he was still alive. If not, how could his body and bones be broken and he would be young at such an early age?
Pass away.
Now I'm talking about it happily. If I actually go into the academy and stay there for a few days, I'm afraid I'll know the taste. I really think that hanging out in the Imperial College is called studying.
"Brother Feng, I heard that life in this academy is very hard, and you have to study for several years. It is not as easy as in the Imperial College." Jia Baoyu pretended to think about Feng Ziying, "The Qingtan Academy is even more strict, listen.
It is said that the professor often punishes students with a ruler or claustrophobically confines students. I heard that many students could not bear the pain and escaped. I feel that if the intimidation is too much, Brother Feng still has to put his own body first, but don't...
…”
Seeing the big, round face in front of her with a smile on her face, Feng Ziying had to admit that Jia Baoyu was quite confident in being able to win the favor of the whole family.
With this appearance, even if Jia Lian is as handsome as Jia Lian, she is a bit more worldly and flashy, while Jia Rong is too feminine, and Jia Yun is a bit less splendid and wealthy, there is really no one in Rong Ning's second house who can compare with her.
Yes, it’s no wonder that people in Rong Ning’s second mansion can get everything they want.
Feng Ziying could roughly guess this guy's intentions. It was difficult for a child to hide his plain thoughts in front of her.
I am full of envy, jealousy and hatred that I want to go to the academy, but I also feel that I can't bear the hardship if I want to go, so the best result is that the other person can't stand the hardship and escapes after going, especially if he is expelled.
It just couldn't be better.
This kind of mentality of wishing people to be poor and hating others to be rich is normal, and Feng Ziying can understand it.
Especially people like Jia Baoyu, who are particularly sensitive in certain aspects, have particularly delicate emotions and can be keenly aware of the pros and cons of certain things for themselves.
A specific encounter like this between Feng Ziying and Lin Daiyu may have posed a huge influence and threat to his hope of winning Lin Daiyu's favor and love. He was aware of it, and then hoped to use some small tricks to eliminate these "threats."
.
For example, if he wanted Feng Ziying's image to return to "realness", Jia Baoyu had never believed that Feng Ziying had such abilities.
Of course, Feng Ziying was aware of Jia Baoyu's emotions and thoughts last time, but he didn't care too much.
Lin Daiyu is no longer the Lin Daiyu who is as helpless as a seedling that has not experienced the wind and rain. The adventure of the Linqing Civil War probably left a very deep mark on Lin Daiyu's heart. I am afraid that this cannot be worn away by ordinary rubbing or sweet words.
dropped.
What's more, certain impressions have been solidified by him. It is estimated that Jia Baoyu will not even have the opportunity to talk and talk sweetly. This impression may even become worse because of Jia Baoyu's illegal entanglement.
