The peasant boy of crossing

When the four eyes met, Li Xinyi subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave, but his feet seemed to be rooted, and he couldn't move at all.

Wu Su walked up to him and said, "I passed the exam."

Li Xinyi took out the gift she had prepared and said, "The box contains pine smoke ink and inkstone, congratulations."

Wu Su took the gift box, smiled, and said, "You believe me."

Li Xinyi also smiled, and said: "If you fail, I wish you persistent efforts."

As he spoke, he thought of something again, and said, "I didn't hear the names of Brother Qiongzhi and Brother Peiling when we sang the list just now."

Wu Su also showed a regretful look, and said: "I checked back and forth twice, and there are indeed no them."

Li Xinyi looked around and said, "I don't know if the two of them have come, but haven't you already returned to Jingning? Or have you not returned at all?"

Wu Su said: "Go back, come back again, and now live in the Xianfu Inn."

Li Xinyi said: "Then are you going to attend the Luming Banquet tomorrow?"

Wu Su said: "Probably, I heard that invitations will be sent to the hostel where you stay."

Li Xinyi nodded: "That's good."

For a while, the air became quiet.

After a while, Li Xinyi said: "I haven't finished painting yet, so I'm going back first."

Wu Su said: "Wait, Xinyi, I still have something to say."

Li Xinyi looked into Wu Su's eyes and didn't know what he was going to say, so she said, "Then tell me."

Wu Su pulled his sleeves and walked into the teahouse, saying, "Let's go in and talk."

The two ordered a pot of green tea and a plate of pine nuts.

Amid the scent of tea, Li Xinyi lowered her head and slowly peeled off the pine nut shell.

Wu Su asked him, "Do you still remember the agreement we made when we were young?"

Li Xinyi thought about it for a while, and said: "Remember, you said that in the future you will become a Jinshi and become an official, so you will bring me here to be your guest."

Wu Su smiled, and said: "If we judge that only forty people were enrolled in Section B before, I will fail this time."

Li Xinyi looked at him suspiciously, and Wu Su continued: "But this time in Qiuwei, Zhejiang has added 40 people, because the Holy One wants his own people to fill the gap."

In the court, it is not a secret that the current emperor is afraid of the late emperor.

All the courtiers who were single-handedly promoted by the first emperor are now dismissed and assigned.

The courtiers who had been dismissed by the late emperor were recalled to the capital and re-appointed.

The mansion newspaper wrote the words of many old ministers with tears in their eyes, wishing to die in return for the grace of God.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, only a few people can stand in an unobtrusive corner at the court meeting, waiting for the day when the emperor thinks of them and sends them to places of bitter cold or hot summer.

These people knew in their hearts that the Holy Majesty did not like them, and even if they were willing to show their loyalty at any time and do their best as much as possible, the Holy Majesty would not trust them.

And the most indispensable thing in the world is people with unrecognized talents and unrewarded ambitions. After the examination is over, there are many talented people who want to serve His Majesty wholeheartedly.

Li Xinyi is not sensitive to the affairs of the court. He read the words in the mansion newspaper and can only sigh with emotion, "No matter what era it is, politics is not something simple-minded people can play."

In contrast, Wu Su is much more sensitive.

Perhaps it was the result of reading "Historical Records" and "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" for two years under the guidance of Master Ji. Wu Su had a steelyard in his heart to measure what kind of emperor was worthy of allegiance.

The current emperor ascended the throne at the age of eight, and the Empress Dowager was regent. Twelve years later, the Empress Dowager died, and the Holy One took charge.Another four years later, the Tatars invaded, and the Holy Majesty's royal conquest was made, but unfortunately he was captured.Three months later, the first emperor ascended the throne.In another eight years, the first emperor died and the sage was restored.

Today, another three years have passed since the Holy Majesty was restored.

Wu Su said to Li Xinyi: "I read in the mansion newspaper a few days ago that the magistrate of Songyang County wanted to resign and reported to the prefect of Chuzhou to give up the position of county magistrate to the county magistrate, but was rejected. Mansion newspaper According to the above, the order of a county must be from Juren or above."

Li Xinyi looked at him and said, "Do you want to be the magistrate of Songyang County?"

Wu Su nodded and said, "Yes."

Li Xinyi was a little anxious, and said: "What about the Jinshi? Are you not going to take the exam? Besides, as a juren, you may only be a small county magistrate or a prefect in a remote country in your life. You have been Familiar with poetry and books, Han Chuang has studied hard for more than ten years, and now that he has won the exam, it is even more important to move forward."

Wu Su smiled and said: "I'm not considered a poor student, and I don't think studying is hard."

Seeing Li Xinyi looking at him with reproachful eyes, Wu Su finally put away the inappropriate joke, and said seriously: "Xin Yi, do you still remember who my teacher is?"

Li Xinyi replied: "Isn't that Master Ji?"

Wu Su shook his head, and said: "There is also Mr. Wei, after all, I have studied under him, and he is also my teacher."

Li Xinyi was silent.

Wu Su said: "Mr. Wei is the elder of the two dynasties, and he is the minister of the first emperor. As his disciple, even if I am only an outer disciple, I will be disliked by the Holy One."

"Actually, as early as two years ago, I was ready. My third uncle was also a scholar. Now in Jingning, when you mention the accountant's name, there must be my third uncle's name."

"Master Ji is also from Juren. In the past few years he taught me, from time to time someone wanted to invite him to teach in the academy. It's just that he has his own choice. He often said that there is no place for him to worry about the vastness of the world. He taught me not to be constrained by the one-acre three-point land in front of me."

Li Xinyi said: "But with a Jinshi background, to be disrespectful, after hundreds of years of being a saint, you will have a chance to be reused by the new emperor. And..."

He lowered his voice and said, "Besides, His Majesty was ill for eight years before, and he was busy working on state affairs all day long. You are not yet a young man, and you still have a long way to go. Why would you ruin your future?"

"The Jinshi exam is not easy, but there are still many people who have passed the Jinshi exam. Give yourself a little more time, one more chance, and it would be a pity to give up."

Wu Su turned his head, looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree outside the window, and said, "But didn't you say that you won't see me again after half a year? And I begged you for this half year."

Li Xinyi smiled and said: "Why are you worrying about this? I always have your future in mind first. It's just a moment of anger to meet or not. You and I have known each other for so long, where is it? If you don't see it, you won't see it."

Wu Su also laughed, and said: "Then you are not allowed to say such angry words in the future, you don't know how long I have been worried."

Li Xinyi said: "Then I will replace wine with tea and apologize to you."

Wu Su said: "It's too outrageous to say that."

After drinking the tea, Li Xinyi said: "I have to go to Nanping Mountain tomorrow morning, so I will go first."

Wu Su said: "Then I will come to another courtyard to look for you in the future."
