Chapter 126 Volume B: Shen Family (Ninth update!)
"Jun Yong, birds of a feather flock together, and although Chongzheng Academy has a good academic style, there are inevitably some dandy boys who are arrogant and coquettish. I still regret that I should send you to Qingtan Academy to endure hardships." The middle-aged man He shook his head, but times had changed, and it was meaningless to say this.
"Dad, I don't think Qingtan Academy is that good. Even the martial arts disciples can go there..." The young man was a little unconvinced.
“What a bastard!” The middle-aged man raised his thick eyebrows, “What do you know? How can an ignorant young man like you understand what the Feng family is doing in Shandong?”
Seeing that her father was angry, the girl quickly softened her cheeks and said, "Jun Yong, don't talk nonsense. Everyone in the Shandong Pingluan court was full of praise. If not for this, how could Zhang Fuzun of Dongchang Prefecture be promoted back to the capital, and how could his father go to Dongchang Prefecture?" ?”
Seeing that the young man was still a little unconvinced, the middle-aged man was also a little worried.
He also knows that although his son is very smart and has no problem studying, his age is there, and he does not have as much contact with current affairs as other officials' children. This is becoming more and more of a problem now.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man felt that he might have to give more advice in the next step. Looking at the adjustment direction of the imperial court's autumn and spring competitions, policy theory will become more and more important in the future. This is the general direction and trend.
There will be no big problem with my son's pregnancy in the autumn of the next year, but it is hard to say in the spring. We have to help him make up for it. Even if he fails to pass the exam, he still has to strive to win the Jinshi in the next exam. The children of the Shen family in Wujiang cannot be like their son. A generation has fallen into the trap of family tradition.
"Jun Yong, you can make good friends with Yang Wenruo, the Hou brothers, and others, and learn more from them." The middle-aged man sighed, "Chongzheng Academy has Fang Ge's guidance, which is not bad, but Qingtan Academy They are not bad in many aspects. Han Jing, Lian Guoshi and Xu Xie are not bad in any of them. They are all popular candidates for the top three in Chunwei of Xia Ke. They are not even inferior to Jinling Baima Academy and Chongwen Academy. Feng Keng can enter Qingtan Academy. , do you think it’s that simple? Brother Ru Jun is not someone who recommends people easily, there must be deep meaning in it.”
“Daddy?” The girl looked over with surprised eyes through the curtains of her hat.
Qiao Yingjia, Lin Ruhai, and Shen Ju are all from the same department, but Lin Ruhai is a third-class Jinshi, Qiao Yingjia is a second-class Jinshi, and Shen Ju is a third-class Jinshi.
Qiao Yingjia is from the north, but he doesn't have much prejudice against the southerners, so Shen Jue and Qiao Yingjia are from the same school and have some friendship. On the contrary, although Lin Ruhai and Shen Jue are from the same hometown in Suzhou, they have the same relationship with Shen Jue.
Although Gai Yinlin Ruhai was born in Sandingjia, he took a different path. Although he was favored by the emperor, he distanced himself from many civil servants who claimed to have character.
Everyone who patrols salt as censor knows what this means, and they have been working for many years and have won the favor of the holy family. However, it is a bit embarrassing that the new emperor has succeeded to the throne.
It would be a lie to say that Shen Jue was not a little envious of Lin Ruhai's situation before.
Since entering the official career, who doesn’t want to be promoted step by step to a higher position and do a bigger undertaking?
Being loyal to the emperor and the people and creating peace for all generations is the ultimate goal of being a scholar and civil servant, but sometimes it is beyond your control.
"Brother Ru Jun has the highest regard for this son. He said frankly that this son may have some shortcomings in the scriptures, but he may be able to be a housekeeper and a charioteer in the future." Shen Jue hesitated before saying this to his daughter and son.
Shen Jue also went to visit Qiao Yingjia after learning that he had been promoted to the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture.
Qiao Yingjia was still serving as the censor of the patrol at this time, but there were already rumors about his next move. There were rumors that he would go to the Ministry of Works to serve as the right minister, and there were also rumors that he would also serve as the censor of the left governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. There are also rumors that he is going to Nanjing to serve as the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Because Qiao Yingjia's collaboration with Li Sancai during this trip to Shandong to quell the chaos was well received, and Shen Jue was going to serve as the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture in the center of the civil unrest, so it was inevitable to talk about Shandong. When he arrived at Feng Keng, Qiao Yingjia was full of praise and impressed Shen Jue deeply.
How could Qiao Yingjia be so praised by an ordinary person? It was just his age that surprised Shen Jue.
Fang Qiao Shang Ren, what kind of evaluation is this? Needless to say, Fang Xuanling was the Prime Minister of the former Tang Dynasty, and Shang Ren was also a great scholar of the Jinshen Palace of the former Ming Dynasty and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He was a real cabinet elder. Such comments came from the strict-tongued Qiao Yingjia, which made Shen Jun feel uncomfortable. I can't believe it.
Shen Jue's words also shocked her daughter and son as soon as they came out. This comment was too exaggerated. Even if Qiao Yingjia admired this son, he shouldn't have made such a comment.
"Jun Yong, Wan Jun, I've heard these words before." Shen Jue pondered for a moment, "Although Brother Ru Jun is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to show that this boy is not simple. If Jun Yong has the opportunity in the future, he can also get to know someone." Fan."
"Father, this Feng Keng is a student of Qingtan Academy." Shen Zizheng couldn't help but said: "And he is also a disciple of Wu Xun."
"So what? Are you bound by your own opinions? Is your Chongzheng Academy so open-minded? Or are you short-sighted and narrow-minded?" Shen Jue couldn't help but said: "If that's the case, then it's okay not to read the books in Chongzheng Academy. "
Seeing that his father was a little angry again, the young man did not dare to speak any more. However, the girl comforted her father: "Dad, there is no need to be so angry. I wonder how the famous Chongzheng Academy can be so narrow-minded?"
"Well, people flock together and birds of a feather flock together. If you make friends with those who have lofty ideals, you will have the opportunity to make progress. Even if you have different political opinions, you can still treat each other as gentlemen." Shen Jue took a deep look at his family. Son, "I believe that people like Yang Wenruo and the Hou brothers will also agree with my point of view."
"Dad, let's go. I've heard for a long time that the vineyards of Dahuguo Temple are famous among the capital, but I haven't seen them yet. Today I finally fulfilled my long-cherished wish." Knowing that her father had high hopes for her younger brother, the girl smiled and changed this somewhat heavy topic. , moved lightly, following behind his father, followed by several servants.
Shen Zizheng made a face to his sister and breathed a sigh of relief. Whenever he felt embarrassed in front of his father, it was his sister who protected him. This had become a habit.
Two groups of people stepped into the Dahuguo Temple almost one after the other. At this time, the number of visitors to the Dahuguo Temple was gradually increasing.
Lin Daiyu and Tan Chun were a little overwhelmed after they stepped into the Dahuguo Temple together.
There are many people offering incense and praying at Dahuguo Temple. Most citizens go straight to the main hall to pray, but scholars and students prefer to visit the vineyards.
Fortunately, the vineyard is large enough, the weather is very good, and the grassy **** forest corridor next to the vineyard is also well planned. It is worthy of being a first-class temple in the capital, and it also attracts many tourists.
Tanchun soon noticed that the girl next to him was absent-minded.
She found it boring to offer incense and pray for blessings because there were too many people. She found it boring to chant sutras and worship Buddha. So what was the point of coming to Dahuguo Temple?
There isn’t much scenery in the Dahuguo Temple, except for the vineyard. But for the two of them, the vineyard seems a bit cold, right?
Some Sister Lin's thoughts could not be eaten, but Tanchun was very happy to slip out.
It's not that easy to come out of the house. The ancestors really cared about Sister Lin. If she wanted to come to offer incense, she would immediately ask the second sister-in-law to assign a vehicle. If it had been someone else, she would have had her ticket turned back. .
“Sister Lin, why don’t we go to the Vajra Hall to have a look? I heard that the Vajra Bodhisattva there is so powerful and ferocious that it is the best statue in the capital. Why don’t you go? The Heavenly King’s Hall is also quite interesting, huh?…”
Just walking leisurely like this, the small vendors over there saw the two ladies with their maids coming out, and they had already started shouting. The ancient cypresses surrounding the hexagonal stele pavilion were filled with people.
"This Shi Suan Ni is really majestic, but I don't know why it's leaning to one side? Sister Lin, why don't we eat some? This Ai Wo Wo is famous. I ate it all last year. It also has pea yellow and turns into scum in the mouth... "
Hearing the noise of the girl next to her, Lin Daiyu was also upset.
Brother Feng must have arrived, but how to get around this girl and Mrs. Xia behind them is really a troublesome thing.
I definitely don’t want to meet him from a distance like this. At least I want to talk to him for a while and ask him what life is like in the academy.
Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu was a little envious. No matter what, at least she could have a lot of classmates together, discussing classics and meanings, and debating current affairs. That kind of life would be much better than staying in the government all day long.
"You can eat whatever you want, don't look at me, haven't you always been unable to tell me how to spend your monthly allowance?" Daiyu glanced at the girl and said with a straight face.
"Sister Lin, with my little possessions, sometimes I have to ask people to go out to buy some pens, inks, paper and inkstones. There are not many left, how can I compare with you, sister." Tan Chun smiled and held Daiyu's arm. , "Just buy some, and I'll try some with your glory."
“You are greedy, and there are so many delicious foods in the house. Isn’t that enough?” Daiyu twisted her body, not wanting to pay attention to the brown candy, and curled her lips.
“Sister Lin, that’s different. The things in the house are the same every year, and the food in the back room doesn’t change. Besides, it tastes the same every year. After eating it for so many years, I’m tired of it.”
Tanchun looked at the dazzling variety of snacks along the way and drank them, emitting various aromas, and he was already extremely greedy.
Daiyu looked around and couldn't find a suitable reason to send this girl away. Moreover, even if she was sent away, Mrs. Xia was specially sent by Sister-in-law Lian to follow her because she was afraid of herself and Tan Yatou. No matter what happens, he will definitely not let himself get out of her sight.
"Zicuckoo, go and buy some snacks, plug this greedy girl's mouth, and also get some for Granny Xia and the others. We must be tired after walking around for such a long time."
“Hey, thank you so much for Miss Lin’s reward. The old lady caught up today and took advantage of Miss Lin and the third girl.”
Grandma Xia was so happy that she almost grinned to the back of her head when Lin Daiyu said "Grandma Xia".
It is said that Miss Lin is usually aloof and aloof, speaks sharply and does not use any curse words. In addition, she is favored by her ancestors and has a father who is a high official in her hometown, so the servants in the house are a little afraid of this girl.
Fortunately, the old lady came to Zijuan, and she was a kind-hearted person, so if anything happened, she would tell Zijuan first and ask Zijuan to help make peace. When we met today, Lin was a little surprised. Girls are not as difficult to deal with as imagined.
Zicuckoo naturally knew the reason why the girl was so generous and easy to talk to today, but she couldn't stop her girl's thoughts and could only accompany her step by step.
Fortunately, this is inside the Dahuguo Temple, and people come and go. Even if you bump into someone "by chance", it's normal, right?
It’s just that it may not be hidden from the shrewd third girl.
