Chapter 93 A-character volume: friends with friends
Back home, Yun Shang sent two more famous invitations.
Han Qi and Wei Ruolan.
Feng Ziying was a little distracted for a moment.
Memories that were already somewhat fuzzy seem to be slowly starting to become clear again.
During the half year of studying at Zhongzijian in Beijing, Feng Ziying still had a few familiar friends. Han Qi, the son of Marquis Jinxiang, and Wei Ruolan, the son of Princess Jianyang, were two of them.
These two people are also prison guards like Feng Ziying.
However, Han Qi almost never came to the prison to study, while Wei Ruolan came from time to time, but it only lasted three days for fishing and two days for drying nets. According to his own words, he just stayed up and waited until the time came. He will be dismissed as soon as he arrives.
As the legitimate son of the eldest princess, Wei Ruolan was still able to find a noble idle position in the royal court, no matter how he was born as a prisoner.
Civil servants still have to give this little face to the royal family. As long as they don't enter the Sixth Ministry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they will naturally have a position in places like Longjingwei and Zongrenfu.
However, after returning from Shandong, Feng Ziying only went to the prison to fight one end, met Jijiu and Siye, and told Jijiu and Siye that she wanted to study in the academy, which made Jijiu and Siye quite happy.
Even though he is studying in an academy, his quota is in prison after all. If he is really selected to be a Jinshi in the future, it will be a bit of honor for him in the Imperial College.
The situation in the Imperial College is going from bad to worse now, which makes people like Jijiu and Si Ye anxious, but unable to change. If graduate students like Feng Ziying can work hard and get into the imperial examination, then of course they will be the face of the Imperial College.
After all, the tribute supervisors from various provinces rarely come to the prison every year. No matter how well they do in the exam, it can only be regarded as the title of each province, and no one will think that it is only the contribution of the Imperial College.
Only if these kind of Yinjian donated prisons can pass the examination and pass the examination, can they be regarded as the reputation of the Imperial College.
So when Feng Ziying proposed to go to the academy to study and take the scientific examination, Jijiu and Siye also greatly praised it.
Feng Ziying has been studying very hard in the past six months, and both Jijiu and Siye have noticed it. Now that he has such great ambitions, he naturally needs to support him.
Both of them encouraged him to study hard and strive to pass the exam. As for this aspect, it was not a problem. Even if he needed to go through things, there were other ways to adjust. In short, the scientific exam was the top priority.
Seeing that Feng Ziying was lost in thought while holding the post, Yun Shang didn't bother her and quietly went out, making tea for Feng Ziying and bringing it in. Feng Ziying woke up with a start.
Once she enters the academy, she is afraid that her original relationship will be severed. She only has one day off in these ten days, and Feng Ziying also hopes to completely put aside other thoughts and study hard. If not, if she wants to be admitted to the Jinshi, she will It's impossible.
After hesitating for a while, Feng Ziying finally felt that it was necessary to maintain the relationships that needed to be maintained. After all, studying is also for the purpose of being awarded an official in the future, and after being awarded an official, various connections are also needed. If it is broken at this time, it will be resumed in the future. Not so easy anymore.
It just so happens that my twelfth birthday will be in the next few days, so I might as well hold a small banquet at home and explain my whereabouts to everyone. I think everyone will understand.
************
"I really didn't expect that Ziying is really going to study in an academy, and it's Qingtan Academy!" The drunken boy in brocade staggered to the side of the carriage, held the carriage with one hand, and began to undress and take off his belt. Disregarding urination.
"Yeah, who would have thought that the Feng family would also have a scholar. It's really strange." Another young man with a jade belt on his waist and a face as beautiful as a crown jaded burped, vomited it out when the risk was more serious, and hurriedly avoided the limelight. , "I thought Ziying was doing it on a whim, but I didn't expect that he had already planned to study hard in the past six months."
“How many of our noble families have actually read books? I think Feng Dalang just wants to take this opportunity to avoid the limelight.”
The man who had already put one foot on the car's shaft was a few years older than the others. He climbed onto the car unsteadily, leaned against the door frame of the car, and squinted his drunken eyes.
"Didn't his father struggle a lot some time ago? I heard from Wang De that Dalang's father wanted to go back to Datong, but he got frustrated. Just in time, Dalang made some mistakes in Shandong. With fame, I feel like I have something to do, but I am afraid that people will say that my family is just showing off, so that’s why you act like this, right?”
This is a bit unkind.
You can say that we just came out of someone else’s house after having a drink. After all, we are still very friendly friends. Why did we just step out of the door and start whispering about someone behind his back, and even drag his elders in?
"Don't look at me like that. I'm an honest person and don't like to say nonsense. You don't know who Wang De is?" The older young man held the door frame of the carriage with one hand and supported it with the other. He said, "His father is the right minister of the Ministry of War. According to him, Dalang's father went to Datong to find his father, but in the end it didn't work out. Later, Dalang was in Shandong. When the news came back, Dalang’s father stopped looking for him. I heard that even the emperor knew Dalang’s name. What do you think this means?”
Although these people have all been in prison, their family backgrounds show that they are self-skilled in many things.
"Yejun, you mean the emperor..." Han Qi, the guy who peed on the side of the carriage, seemed to have sobered up a lot at this time and took a breath of cold air.
“That’s not the case.” Wei Ruolan’s expression also changed slightly, and she shook her head repeatedly.
Chen Yejun, the eldest young man, shrugged, "Who knows? Don't you think it's a little different that Dalang suddenly wants to study now?"
"Dalang has been studying hard since he came back from Datong. We all see this. We haven't seen him for several years before he came back. I heard that he has been hiring a private school to teach him in Datong. …”
Wei Ruolan was the young man in the brocade robe and jade belt, and he subconsciously defended Feng Ziying.
"Haha, what does that mean?" Chen Yejun said calmly: "Uncle Feng has already made plans. Forget it, let's not talk about it. It doesn't have much to do with us. It's just that Dalang went to Qingtan I’m afraid it’s hard to get out of the academy.”
The three of them, plus Feng Ziying, are all hanging out in the Imperial College. Chen Yejun is the oldest, already sixteen, Han Qi has just turned fifteen, Wei Ruolan is still close to fourteen, and although Feng Ziying is called Dalang , but the youngest.
Han Qi is the legitimate son of the Marquis of Jinxiang and will inherit the title in the future. Needless to say, Wei Ruolan is the legitimate son of the eldest princess, and Chen Yejun is the son of Hongwu General Chen Daoxian.
"If Dalang can really read, there is a way out. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive in the academy and will be kicked out in a few days." Han Qi changed the subject, "It's a pity that I'm not a material for reading, otherwise I really want to accompany Dalang to read a book."
"You go? Where did you get the letter of recommendation from Qingtan Academy?" Chen Yejun sneered, "Do you really think anyone can get this letter of recommendation?"
Chen Yejun's words stunned Han Qi, while Wei Ruolan was also thoughtful.
“That was Dalang’s opportunity, and he happened to meet Qiao Yingjia...” Han Qi said unconvinced.
"You are overthinking. Who is Qiao Yingjia? How can you easily recommend someone?" Chen Yejun narrowed his eyes slightly, no longer as drunk as before, "I'm afraid Dalang and his family have been planning for a long time, right?"
"No, didn't you mean that Wang De was saying that Feng Shishu always wanted to go to Datong?" Han Qi asked immediately.
"Hmph, maybe it was just a false shot? Or maybe they have already found a way out?" Chen Yejun's eyes became erratic, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he shook his head: "Let's break up, go back and rest early, After you get up from sleep, ask your family, maybe you can understand."
After saying that, he left directly.
Han Qi watched with some confusion as the sound of wheels disappeared into the street. He turned around and asked, "Ruolan, why is Brother Yejun so out of control today? I don't understand what he means by these blabbering words. Do you understand?"
Wei Ruolan has also been thinking about Chen Yejun's words. He was born in the royal family and has been exposed to more things, but the more he understands, the more frightened he becomes.
Chen Yejun's words were vaguely pointing to something, involving the Supreme Emperor and the current emperor, and even something deeper. He didn't dare to think too much about it.
To be precise, Han Qi, Feng Ziying, and Chen Yejun are all disciples of Wu Xun, and Wei Ruolan can barely be counted.
His father is a prince-in-law, but he can also be considered a son of Wu Xun. However, because his mother is the eldest princess, he cannot be completely considered a son of Wu Xun. Therefore, he has always been insensitive to these aspects in the past.
Chen Yejun's strange words today couldn't help but make Wei Ruolan think deeply. He even felt that Chen Yejun was deliberately revealing something.
But why he said it in front of the two of him, but remained silent at Feng Ziying's banquet, as if nothing had happened, is even more intriguing.
Suddenly, Wei Ruolan realized that the friendship between classmates that had been formed for so long in the Imperial College seemed to have been slightly pierced by something after this drink, and the relationship between them became bright and dark.
At the end of this volume, he will finally enter the academy career, which means that the protagonist will finally begin to enter the real political power system of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
