Chapter 290 Volume B has a long way to go
Jia Baoyu and the other girls naturally couldn't understand Feng Ziying's bad taste.
They can only think that Feng Ziying felt that current policy theory that could play a greater role in his official career might be what Feng Ziying valued most, so he did not bother to mention his talent in poetry, lest it obscure the things he was better at.
This makes Jia Baoyu very regretful. If Brother Feng really likes poetry and poetry, then he can communicate more and show his talent in this area, but Brother Feng doesn't give him the slightest chance. He didn't even want to mention poems and songs, which made him very depressed.
Shi Xiangyun, however, was very smart and realized that Feng Ziying did not want to talk about this matter, so he took the initiative to change the subject.
"Brother Feng, you have passed the Jinshi exam now, what are you going to do next?" This is probably a question that several people here are concerned about. After all, it is said that after passing the Jinshi exam, you will become an official, but how to become an official? When it comes to being an official, a few people, including Jia Baoyu, are less clear about it.
"It's not what I plan to do, but what the court needs us to do." Feng Ziying was quite amused when she saw that Jia Baoyu actually looked concerned. Hasn't this guy always been dismissive of official career and economy? Why are you interested now?
“Brother Feng, what do you mean?” Jia Baoyu is not interested in official career and economy, but he also knows that his lack of interest does not mean that he can ignore it all.
Looking at how much your uncle, father, and even mother and ancestors value this Jinshi status, you will know how much change this Jinshi status can bring to a family.
The Feng family seems to be about to change because of Brother Feng's selection of Jinshi, so he is also curious, what will Feng Ziying do in the future?
Are you just like your father, going to the Ministry of Works every day to hang around?
For them now, the concept of being an official in the imperial court is obviously still a bit far away. It seems that they go to the ministry hall every day to discuss matters, which seems to be called an official, but they have no idea of the true meaning of being an official. What exactly is it.
However, it is definitely too early to tell a few young girls aged 12 or 13 the true meaning of becoming an official. However, Feng Ziying felt that it was still possible to properly popularize the purpose and meaning of becoming an official to them.
Feng Ziying briefly introduced to them the responsibilities of the Six Ministries, the Duchayuan, Dali Temple and the General Affairs Department, and then introduced the value and significance of the Hanlin Academy, and then talked about the essence of Jinshi's observation of politics.
Only a few people understand that there are so many ways to become an official, and they also understand that becoming an official does not mean that you can become an official just by studying. This requires continuous learning and tempering.
After staying at Feng Ziying's house for an hour, a few people left.
On the way back, Tanchun couldn't help but said: "I don't know if you feel it, but Brother Feng seems to have very clear plans and goals for his future. Well, look at when he introduced the institutional rights and responsibilities of various yamen in the imperial court. He knows very well what to do and how to do it well, and he can explain it clearly and clearly. It feels like he has already done it in there, but he has not even been to watch the government."
Shi Xiangyun also noticed this: "Tan Yatou is right. Brother Feng seems to have determined his whereabouts a long time ago. Well, didn't he say it? He will try to go to the library to select Shujishi, and then observe the government for one to two years. , if you want to become an official again, Brother Bao, you must learn from Brother Feng..."
One sentence made Jia Baoyu's mood drop. Jia Baoyu said sadly: "I can't compare with Brother Feng. I can't even pass the exam. The second-level Jinshi is like a dream to me. Well, I don't either." He likes to study classics and policy theory. Brother Feng obviously knows how to write poetry, but he refuses to admit it. He is just a..."
“Lu Li?” Shi Xiangyun smiled and filled in for Baoyu.
Jia Baoyu was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Lin Daiyu's face was already ugly, and Tan Chun still shook his head to express his disapproval: "Brother Bao may be OK when applied to others, but I don't think Brother Feng is such a person. Brother Feng and I have said this several times He said that the purpose of becoming an official is not to be an official for the sake of being an official, but to make the people's lives better, less painful and more beautiful. He especially hates and hates those officials who live a mediocre life..."
Jia Baoyu actually knew that he had offended Sister Lin as soon as he spoke the truth, but he did not expect that even his third sister would be so against him, and he felt even more depressed.
Moreover, the word "Lu Li" was also spoken by Yun Yatou. She just said it subconsciously and took it back without saying it. However, she had said many times that those scholars who went to take the scientific examination were Lu Li. The impression has long been formed in the minds of these people, so it is like this.
But now he couldn't explain it, so he could only keep his mouth shut and be unhappy.
Shi Xiangyun didn't expect that such a word could cause such a big trouble. It is estimated that Brother Bao, Sister Lin, and Tan Yatou were all unhappy with him. He rolled his eyes and immediately changed the subject: "You said Feng The eldest brother is only two or three years older than us, why does he know so much more than us? And in front of him, I always feel that he is much older than us. Well, you said that eldest brother Feng has also passed the Jinshi examination, isn't it necessary? Are you thinking about marriage?"
She didn't notice that after she said these words, Sister Lin and Tan Yatou both trembled slightly, while Jia Baoyu was also startled and murmured to himself: "At this time, I am afraid that many people in Brother Feng's family are looking for someone." Come to propose marriage?"
************
Feng Ziying really didn’t expect that she would be rightly told by Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu.
In the past two days, people have come to inquire about the situation one after another. Of course, they all want to know whether they are engaged and whether they have taken any concubines. This also makes the mother and aunt feel refreshed.
My son suddenly became extremely popular, and anyone who dared to come to visit me must have weighed the weight. I felt that I could match my son and the Feng family, so of course it would not be too bad.
Of course, we are still in the stage of inquiring and transmitting information.
According to convention, this type of marriage requires both parties to understand each other. Then if it is determined that both families have this intention, then it will enter the next stage, where the man proposes marriage to the woman. But before that, if the woman is particularly interested, she will also take the initiative to propose marriage to the man. Conveying some of your superior qualities to increase your attractiveness basically means that you are welcome to propose marriage.
Feng Ziying was called into the room for the fifth time in three days by the maid next to her mother. Feng Ziying knew that she would have to negotiate with her mother, otherwise she would be called in endlessly to talk about things. Although this was also a sign of respect for herself, but This happens too often and he can't stand it.
"Mother, I already know about this situation. I also sent a letter to my father. June is the election for the Shujishi Hall. You should know how important this is to me, so my son doesn't have much time to think about it now. , you can put everything aside for the time being and talk about it after the election of the Shujishi Hall in June, okay?"
Before he could say a word, his son poured cold water on himself, but Duan's interest did not diminish at all, "Brother Keng, I know that my mother must make a careful choice in this matter. I just came here to tell you something." , let our family know that there is a daughter who is not married yet, shouldn't we have more choices? I am asking for your opinion. What I mean is, do you need to ask your teachers for their opinions? "
Feng Ziying was quite surprised that her mother could actually think of this?
Seeing her son's surprised look, Mrs. Duan couldn't help but clear her throat, "Brother Keng, the people who have come here in the past few days are basically people from the families of some of your father's former colleagues. Well, their family backgrounds are also the same. Our families are pretty much the same, so we should be considered well-matched, right? But now that you have passed the Jinshi examination, your aunt and I are both thinking about whether it would be appropriate to get married to these families again? It’s just that we don’t care about those families in the capital. We don’t know much about it, uh, some people have asked, but we haven’t had any contact with those families, so…”
It seems that her mother has finally realized that now the Feng family, no, it should be that her identity is different from before, and she can no longer use the original Feng family identity to apply to herself, so she needs to be more cautious in marriage, or Feng Ziying felt a little funny in her heart when she said that she needed to have a more "long-term" plan, but she was also a little moved.
Parents always think about the best for their children. Even if their approach may not be the most correct, it is certainly the most appropriate.
"What do you mean by mother, do you want me to express my thoughts on marriage to some practitioners?" Feng Ziying suppressed her smile. This is a good excuse to prevent her mother from blindly looking for a marriage partner for her. It seems that My mother also understands that her future is closely related to several karma masters, so it is necessary to seek the opinions of karma masters on such important matters as marriage.
"Well, in fact, your father wrote to me after you passed the exam and told me that he should seek more opinions from your teachers, um, that also includes marriage. Of course, he just asked them to help think about it, or to find out whether it is suitable. Yes, it is ultimately up to your father and mother to decide..."
Mr. Duan was also obviously wary of her son coercing the emperor to order the princes. He really wanted to use the teacher's opinions to fool himself. Moreover, there was a high possibility that his son would do such a thing, so he had to guard against it.
