Chapter 125: It’s better to meet by chance than to meet in B-Zijuan (eighth update!)
The young man in white robe originally planned to just deal with it and leave, but he never thought that the other party would announce his name so solemnly, and the key is that this guy is actually Feng Ziying's guy? !
This guy's name is well known among the students in the capital during this period.
Not only because of his extraordinary courage during his trip to Shandong, he made plans to assist Li Sancai, Qiao Yingjia and Chen Jingxuan in defeating the White Lotus Rebellion, but also because this person actually went from the Imperial Academy to Qingtan Academy to study. What is even more incredible is that this person turned out to be Wu. Born in Xun!
No matter which way you look at it, this person should not go to Qingtan Academy to study.
The best place for this kind of people is to stay in the Imperial College and become an official, or to become a nobility in the future.
If you really have the perseverance and ambition to read a lot, your first choice is Tonghui Academy. It is the best place for military students, especially those from Jiubian Wei Town in the North.
The next most important place should be Chongzheng Academy, which was the headquarters for the children of officials and noble families in the capital.
Although Wu Xun's status in the eyes of civil servants was somewhat unfavorable, he was still considered a member of the official family, and it made sense for him to study in Chongwen Academy.
Only when it comes to Qingtan Academy, which has always been responsible for absorbing poor scholars from various provinces, it is a bit hard to accept.
It's just that this is not the time to think about these issues. The other party has announced his name, and it is obvious that he knows that the three of them are students of Chongzheng Academy. So if he wants to leave, I'm afraid it won't work.
In the future, word spread that Chongzheng Academy was afraid of Qingtan Academy, and the three of them became sinners of the academy.
The two brothers, the white-robed young man and the boy, both had a look of disbelief on their faces. How could they meet this guy here? It was really bad luck.
This guy won a good reputation in the imperial court with his trip to Shandong at the age of twelve. Now he is the center of attention. The key is that this guy was born in Wuxun. To put it harshly, he is just a dandy. Even if he is the three of them, what will happen to him? Even if you humiliate him, it's hard to gain much reputation, but if you accidentally overturn your boat in the gutter and get bitten by this guy, you will really lose your face.
Moreover, this guy happened to be the person Qiao Yingjia valued and recommended, and his father was serving as the censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. A few days ago, his father was still saying that Qiao Yingjia was very likely to be the right deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In other words, he might be his father's boss.
Although this department has a strong moral character and does not care about good taste, it is a different matter if it is a direct superior.
The young man in white robe didn't want to sign up, and the two of them were the same, but when people found out about his background but kept silent and ran away quietly, it would be really scandalous if this guy really publicized it in the future.
After pondering for a long time, the young man in white robe exchanged helpless looks with the other two, and finally sighed and said calmly: "Chongzheng Academy, Yang Sichang, Wuling, Huguang."
“Chongzheng Academy, Hou Xun and Hou Ke of Guide, Henan.”
Just when Feng Ziying and Yang Sichang were facing the Hou brothers, a carriage had quietly stopped. After getting off, two slender figures hurriedly helped two other pretty girls get out of the car.
Lin Daiyu frowned slightly, looking at the girl who got out of the car first, and for a moment she didn't know how to "deal with" her.
They were about to go out. I don’t know where this girl came from. When she learned that she was coming to Dahuguo Temple to offer incense, she insisted on pestering her and refused. Firstly, the relationship between the two had always been good. Secondly, she really couldn’t find her. Reasons to refuse, in the end this girl had to come together.
Lin Daiyu was thinking about how to get rid of this girl along the way.
Brother Feng will definitely not go to offer incense. The main hall and Buddhist hall are full of people coming and going, and there is no suitable place at all. Lin Daiyu also inquired in advance, and the only truly spacious and suitable place is the vineyard.
The vineyard covers an area of dozens of acres and is divided into many plots of different sizes. It has always been a good place for everyone to cool off in the summer, but now that winter has begun, there are definitely not many people in the garden, even if there are , such a big place, you can naturally find suitable meeting opportunities.
"Sister Lin, hurry up. I'm afraid you've never been here before, right?" The girl looked around and looked at the gate of Huguo Temple. "I've been here twice, but they all said that the incense here is not very effective. Maybe There are too many people worshiping, and the Bodhisattva may not be able to take care of them."
"Miss!" The girl who followed quickly pulled the sleeve of her lady's sleeve, "Don't say this here, lest the Bodhisattva will blame you."
"You girl, you are always good at talking." Lin Daiyu complained: "I can also control the people in this house? You, a serious master, don't say it, but you use me, an outsider, to offend others all day long, and you are not afraid that I will be punished in the future. Are people driven out by jealousy?"
"Hey, who doesn't know that my sister is the most loved by our ancestors? Whoever is blind and deluded dares to do this? That's really the courage of a tiger and a leopard." The girl's smart eyes rolled, "Well , if we want to be safe, if my sister enters the gate of our Jia family and becomes a family, then it couldn't be safer."
When Lin Daiyu heard this, her face immediately straightened up, "Tan girl, don't say such nonsense in front of people in the future. I am from the Lin family, but I am not lucky enough to enter your Jia family. Now I am just living under someone else's roof for a while. Maybe after staying for two years, my ancestors will get tired of it, so my father will take me back to Suzhou."
Seeing that Lin Daiyu was a little annoyed, Jia Tanchun didn't care. He held Lin Daiyu's hand with a smile and said, "Sister doesn't like to hear it. I just won't say anything in the future. It's a pity that my second brother..."
Lin Daiyu glanced at Tanchun coldly. Tanchun stuck out his tongue and stopped talking. Lin Daiyu's face looked better now, "Let's go. You've been chewing nonsense all day long. One day you have to go out. Then I will Do you still want to talk so much?"
Tanchun blushed at this sentence and pushed Lin Daiyu, "Good sister, I haven't even talked about you, so why are you talking about me?"
Lin Daiyu was a little surprised. Why did such casual talk make this girl shy?
But she didn't think much about it. Thinking that Brother Feng was already in the temple, Lin Daiyu became a little fascinated.
I haven’t seen each other for more than a month. I heard that he went to Qingtan Academy. Qingtan Academy is said to be a first-class and strict place in the capital city. I don’t know if he can eat or drink according to the rules?
Look at Brother Bao, just waiting for a few days to hire a tutor in the house. If he goes to Qingtan Academy, he will be suffocated to death?
Just as Daiyu and Tanchun got out of the car with the support of Zijuan and Shishu, Mrs. Xia and two maids who were following behind also got out of the car and caught up with them, surrounding the two girls and preparing to enter.
At this time, another carriage and a small sedan just arrived.
“Dad, we’re here.” A young man turned over and got out of the car, looking around excitedly.
"Hmm." A middle-aged man got out of the carriage, his eyes were calm, and he seemed to be feeling something, "I don't know how long it will take to return to the capital."
"Dad, you don't want to go to Dongchang Mansion?" The young man glanced at his father in surprise. As far as he knew, his father was appreciated by the official department because he did an excellent job as the head of the Criminal Department. , to fill the vacancy this time, the Ministry of Personnel recommended him to be the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture. This was also an extremely rare promotion, and many people were envious of it.
"No, you don't understand even if I tell you." The middle-aged man glanced at his son, "Jun Yong, my father went to Shandong. You must be careful in your words and deeds in the academy and study hard. I don't ask you. You can win the first prize in the spring if you just take the subject, but you have to strive for the next autumn."
“Father, don’t worry, my son doesn’t dare to be presumptuous, and my mother and sister are still in the capital...” the young man said solemnly.
“Dad, don’t worry, Jun Yong is already sensible, and the academic style of Chongwen College is very upright, and there are many talents...” The curtain of the small sedan was opened by the maid, and a slim figure got out of the sedan, with a curtain and net hanging down to cover his shoulders.
"Yes." Glancing at his daughter, the middle-aged man realized that her daughter was already fifteen. He originally said that he would find a suitable marriage for his daughter while he was in Beijing, but he has been extremely busy in the Ministry of Punishment for more than a year. Madam has never been able to adapt to the weather in the capital, and it was not until the second half of the year that she gradually settled down. She never thought that she would have to go to Shandong to take up a post, so she could only leave the family in the capital to avoid the trouble.
Seemingly thinking of something, the man frowned and asked, "I heard that Yang Wenruo is as talented as Han Jianyu?"
"Father also knows Yang Wenruo?" The young man raised his eyebrows and said quite proudly: "Brother Wenruo is very talented. Even though Han Jian and Han Jian are famous all over the Yangtze River, I don't think they can beat Brother Wenruo. Besides, besides Wenruo in the academy, Brother, he is as outstanding as the Hou brothers,..."
“But the son of the Hou Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites?” The man had obviously heard of the reputation of the Hou brothers and nodded slightly.
"Dad, have you heard of it? That's right." The young man was very excited, "These two brothers are not very old, but they have been studying since childhood, and have been highly praised by the academy master,..."
“How old are the Hou brothers?” The middle-aged man became interested.
"Ruogu is one year older than me, and Ruopu is one year younger than me." The boy has not yet reacted, but the woman next to him has already understood his father's thoughts. Her cheeks are hot. Fortunately, she has a curtain to cover her face. "Dad, !”
The middle-aged man also felt that he was a little impatient. He could come down and inquire about this matter slowly, but he needed to keep it in mind.
My daughter is extremely talented, and it is difficult for ordinary men to take notice of her. If not, she would not have wasted her time until now. Although fifteen years old is not too old, I am afraid that I will have to go to Shandong for another two or three years to come back to Beijing. If this drags on, It's been a while.
