Femme Beauty

When Jia Lian entered the examination room in spring, Wang Xifeng didn't worry about it.In her opinion, Jia Lian did not have the fate to be the number one scholar.Therefore, don't worry about what the exam looks like.Those who can enter the prostitution, relying on my uncle and Lin Ruhai, at least they are also Jinshi.At this time, in the Wenen Hall, the students were writing their test papers quickly.The same is true for Jia Lian, but compared to the nervousness of those students, he is quite relaxed.As Wang Xifeng thought, what he thought was not too far off.He pondered, no matter what he did, seeing Lin Ruhai's face, being the eldest son of Duke Rong, his father and his uncle's ability, how could a Jinshi have it.

So he splashed ink in a calm state of mind, with an attitude worthy of today.He didn't care about rankings, he just wrote what he thought and what he thought, stroke by stroke.As for the ending... It is enough for him to be worthy of his previous efforts.

In the evening, the servant came to collect the papers.The obfuscated name was copied by the waiting inner government decree, and then presented to the emperor for personal review.Because there were not many people taking the spring exam this time, and Lin Ruhai and Wang Ziteng wanted to avoid suspicion. They didn't know how Jia Lian did in the exam.They just arranged for someone to watch him walk out of the palace wall and send him home properly.

After Jia Lian came home, he took a hot bath and went with his daughter-in-law, Meng Zhou Gong.Unbeknownst to Mu Chengze, the test paper he wrote caught Mu Chengze's eyes.

Looking at the copied content, Mu Chengze smiled and handed it to the emperor who was paralyzed on the bed: "I don't know whose child this is, but you can see the truth in every word."

The emperor took the paper, glanced at it, and grinned happily: "He understands his position quite well. Looking at the writing, Anbang Dingguo thinks he has no such ability. Xingguo eliminates traitors and thinks it is not his job. Face to face For the present, I just know that there are many problems, but I list them one by one, but I don’t say the solution. I also know that the flattery says that only the emperor can do it. But looking at it, it’s the truth. These things, really only the emperor can solve them .He is a down-to-earth person!"

"Yeah!" Mu Chengze nodded: "The literary talent is not very good, but I like it. Give it the number one, I'm afraid some people will not accept it. How about the second place?"

The emperor glanced at Mu Chengze, stretched out his hand to flick the paper: "This kid is probably Lin Ruhai's apprentice."

"How do you see it?" Mu Chengze was a little surprised by his father's speculation.

"Look at the above. It said that he himself is worthy of the emperor's favor after his meritorious deeds. He is not diligent and can inherit the fame of his ancestors. Look, I guess it should be the group after he passed. The family is miserable. Therefore, after getting married at a young age, there are only famous teachers to teach one or two. From this point of view, among this batch of candidates, only that kid is qualified for this." The emperor pointed out the self-recommended part of the paper to Mu Chengze, and Mu Chengze read it and thought about it. It's possible.He quickly called Joan to see whose paper it was.

After Qiao An investigated, it was confirmed that it really belonged to Jia Lian.The two were immediately happy after hearing this.Mu Chengze took the paper, stroked it with the vermilion pen tip, and finally dropped a three-character.

After painting this, he smiled and said to the emperor: "Since you are Lin Ruhai's apprentice, let's continue to explore flowers!"

Jia Lian woke up early the next day, three days after the imperial examination was the day when the list would be released.So today he is not in a hurry.He just silently wrote a copy of his own examination paper, and then took this paper to the Lin Mansion after lunch.

Lin Ruhai knew that he would definitely come back today, so he asked for leave and waited at home.It was only at noon that I saw him coming.Thinking about it in my heart, I am afraid that I am very sure.But when he saw Jia Lianmo's test paper, he didn't know what to say about this young man.He repeatedly raised the paper and put it down gently.With a final sigh:

"I asked you to keep a low profile, not to fool you!"

"I'm not fooling around, every sentence is from the heart." Jia Lian said with some grievances: "Master doesn't know something, the emperor's question this time is: What is the national policy. If I write down what I talked with you in the past, the emperor will see it." I must think it is your words. But if it is an official speech that seeks stability while seeking stability, I am worried that in the future when I become a Jinshi, someone will use this to participate in business with you. These two things are not easy to go. If you are unconventional, you will only It seems that I am too prominent and does not conform to the rules of the officialdom. Therefore, I think it is better to be kind and honest. Besides, the way of narration is not so common."

Hearing what he said, Lin Ruhai sighed and dropped the paper, leaned on the chair and looked at him, not knowing what he was thinking.Jia Lian himself was a little trembling, and it was even more difficult to be stared at by him this way.After finally standing there for half an hour, Lin Ruhai folded the paper a few times and threw it to him: "Show it to your father-in-law, he is probably going home right now. Hurry up and come back, I asked your aunt to call you early." Daughter-in-law, come over and have a reunion dinner today."

"Hey!" Jia Lian took the paper honestly. Because he stood for a long time and his whole body was tense, he almost fell down due to the numbness of his legs. He moved his hands and feet carefully and quickly left.Lin Ruhai looked at his somewhat embarrassed back, thinking about the way to be his apprentice in the future.

Thinking about it, he felt a headache.Annoyed and stuffy, he took a sip of the tea, and the warm and cool taste entered the stomach from his throat and calmed his heartstrings.He suddenly felt that he should not worry about this problem alone.After all, I am the master.Master master, teach and educate people.Those who should be educated have been educated, and as for the future path, it is beyond the control of my master.It should be his father-in-law and his father who are responsible.Thinking of this, he tidied up his clothes and decided to enter the palace.

Mu Chengze looked at Lin Ruhai who was sitting on the side after kneeling.At this time, he set up wine and food in the warm pavilion, and wanted to have a drink alone for a while.But he didn't want Lin Ruhai to enter the palace, so he took a sip of his wine and looked at Lin Ruhai: "Are you here for that apprentice of yours?"

His tone was light, and he didn't feel any surprise.Lin Ruhai nodded without hiding anything.Mu Chengze picked up the wine glass and curled his lips: "You have accepted a funny student..."

Fun?Lin Ruhai frowned, how is that little bastard so funny?

Mu Chengze nodded: "You don't know, this is the first time that my father and I have seen such a cunning and honest father in these years. Father ordered him a Tanhua, and the two of them are quite... Okay, isn't it?" He pursed his lips and smiled, took another glass and poured a glass of wine to Lin Ruhai: "Have a drink! It's my congratulations to you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Ruhai took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.The wine is rice wine, and the cup is very small with only a small amount.Although his alcohol capacity is still not good, but this does not affect it.

Seeing his face turn red, Mu Chengze drank his cup: "What are your plans for that kid?"

Lin Ruhai put down his wine glass, lowered his head and thought for a while, "I didn't ask him to take any exams at first, but it was enough to be admitted to Jinshi. After that, it would be better to stay in the Imperial Academy for three years. But Tanhua..."

"Tanhua can also enter the Imperial Academy." Mu Chengze thought for a while, and indeed there is no suitable position in the imperial court right now.The number one scholar is going to enter the cabinet, and the second place is in the six departments.Originally, Tanhua was sent around after following the second place, just like Lin Ruhai back then.But right now... Holding chopsticks in his hand, he picked up two silver silk pig ears for himself, chewed slowly and then nodded: "I also think that this is the only way to do it right now. The first prize is the eldest son of the Zhang family, and the second place is from Jinling." The one who played the shocking drum. These two are installed, enough to cause trouble in the court. You are one who cherishes feathers, and Wang Ziteng is also cautious. The Imperial Academy is very good!"

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai kowtowed his thanks.Mu Chengze nodded and waved him away.

When Jia Lian came out of Lin's mansion, he saw his carriage preparing to enter the Lin family's stable.He got into his carriage and was sent to Prince Teng's mansion.

Wang Ziteng also came back early, but he knew that Jia Lian would be the first to see Lin Ruhai.So he wasn't in a hurry.After washing his hands and eating, he slept for a while before he heard the porter say that Jia Lian had arrived.After tidying up his hair, he entered the study and watched Jia Lian standing there honestly waiting.

"What? Did you get scolded?" He smiled and gestured, stretching out his hand to signal Jia Lian to sit down.

Jia Lian presented his silent paper to Wang Ziteng and sat opposite Wang Ziteng: "Master is not very satisfied."

After carefully reading Jia Lian's paper, Wang Ziteng threw it aside and covered his mouth with one hand and smiled muffledly. He seemed to be in a good mood.Seeing the prince laughing, Jia Lian let out a sigh of relief with the shrugging shoulders.Finally, this pass is over.

Wang Ziteng laughed enough before speaking.He cleared his throat, picked up the teacup and squeezed the lid to shake the tea soup: "What do you think? I thought that Lin Ruhai might have made you an idiot after teaching you for three years. It's okay, I still know What do you want?"

Wang Ziteng is very satisfied with Jia Lian's paper.After meritorious service, he is the king of Jinling in Jia Wang Shi Xuezhong, and he is not just talking.Although Jia's family is in chaos right now, there is no success; Wang's family has been so defeated that they avoided the capital; He secretly gave half a bottle of Tianlu to his brother-in-law Xue, fearing that the orphans and widows would also be defeated.

For the imperial examination, Wang Ziteng always thought that he just wanted to get on the ladder.As for the hatred of the country and the family, the rise and fall of the country has little to do with him.Could it be that the ancestors assisted the Mu family to ascend the throne for the so-called world?Don't be kidding, their Wang family is not for that.If it hadn't been necessary to do it back then, the Wang family would not have taken the risk.Without sufficient interests, no ancient gentry is a fool.

It is a good thing that Jia Lian was not dazzled by those subsets of the Book of Songs.Choosing such an answer sheet can make yourself look stupid.Second, you can also highlight yourself in a low-key manner.This is a good thing!Of course, this is inappropriate for Lin Ruhai's sour clerical family.

Seeing that Wang Ziteng agreed with him, Jia Lian pursed his lips and smiled happily: "I used to have another way of answering the questions. But now among my group of people, I see several children of Confucianism who are civil officials. They are all Noble and first-class character, if the topic is the same as theirs, I am afraid it will be covered up. This is inappropriate for the master. No matter what, I am a disciple under his name. But if a sudden rise , I am worried that the officialdom will not go well in the future. I am afraid that someone will say that I am rebellious and playing with my innocence. Simply, I wrote this. After all, my father was with the emperor before, and he was also a smart and foolish person who was honest and honest. "

Wang Ziteng took a sip of tea and nodded: "It's good for you to do this. After all, Lin Ruhai is from the same line. Although you want to change your family style, you are not in the same way as him. It's just that, based on what I know about the emperor, I'm afraid I can't say it." I can get a Tanhua Lang."

What Wang Ziteng said was full of ambition, but Jia Lian felt that it was exaggerated.He waved his hand: "This is just an opportunistic way to match one's preferences. After all, there are too many talented people. How can you choose me as a candidate? Father-in-law's words... It's over."

"But not!" Wang Ziteng put down the tea bowl, and explained the way to Jia Lian seriously: "If talents who can govern the country and the country can be selected from one imperial examination, then any ruler will not be a talent. I hesitated. In fact, the civil service examination is only based on personal character. Human character is the emperor's first choice. After all, those who can pass the first two exams are basically of the same level. The articles you can write, Others can also write. If you can use words, others can use them. The words are gorgeous, which has the advantage of being gorgeous. The content regulations are clear and well-organized. But in terms of employing people in the future, you have to look at three aspects. "

Wang Ziteng clenched his hands into fists and continued: "First, does this person really have real talent and learning? The real talent and learning that the emperor wants is not the kind of verbal, but solid knowledge of what he has learned. Such People will be selected as Jinshi;

Second, whether there is enough facade support behind this person.For example, master-student relationship, family style, father-son inheritance, etc.For example, you are the son-in-law of Wang Ziteng, a student of Lin Ruhai after Duke Rong.Inevitably, no matter whether you can impress the emperor or not, the Jinshi status will be given to you;

Third, what is the character of this person.If you don't have the second point, just be well educated.Then you need to have a good character.There is no need to be high-spirited, the emperor doesn't look at that.Whether you are greedy for ink is a matter for the censor and the inspectorate.What the emperor read is a real word.Are you honest and faithful.If you are a person with lofty likes and dislikes, then if you become a courtier, wouldn't you use the pillar of the main hall as a wooden fish and knock it off with your head every day?If you are a scumbag, who is your master?It must be whoever gives you the most money.

In my opinion, you have all three points.Right now, those who are in the same subject as you have meritorious deeds.There are also a few poor children.Let you be the number one scholar, your literature is not enough.If you don't have enough literary talents, you can't be the number one scholar.Let you be the second place, and many people are staring at it right now.Moreover, at this time, I was not the only one among cabinet relatives who participated in the scientific examination.Both Lin Ruhai and I avoid suspicion, it doesn't mean that this face is not there.Similarly, the second place will not give you.

But your papers are well written, and your father left a good impression on the emperor.Honest man, some brains.Loyal enough, but not pedantic.You are the right person and available.At the same time, you are Lin Ruhai's disciple, and Lin Ruhai, the Tanhualang, has been in the Yanzheng position for six years.The confidants of the emperors of the two dynasties, compared to other cabinets, you are closer to them.At the same time, you are the son-in-law of my prince Teng.In terms of generals, although the Rongguo Mansion has fallen so far, it is still a skinny camel that is bigger than a horse.

It is true that there are many people who participated in the scientific examination, but if you order other people's Tanhua, you will not be given one.The emperor can't justify it to the outside world.But if it is given to you as the No. [-] or No. [-] pick, it is not appropriate.In addition, it is an honor in itself for the two masters and apprentices to explore the flowers.For the emperor, it is not bad to exchange a good reputation for a third position. "

Hearing Wang Ziteng's explanation, Jia Lian got up and bowed and sat down: "Thank you, Yue Shang, for your suggestion. Speaking of which, I didn't have much thought about it. The purpose of participating in the scientific examination was to get out of the original situation. You also know that, The situation when I married Brother Feng back then. I just hoped that my wife and children could live a more comfortable life in the future. Later, after your recommendation, I worshiped Uncle Lin as a teacher, and it was more to pave the way for the future."

Hearing Jia Lian's truthful words, Wang Ziteng nodded: "I originally arranged it like this. Most of the meritorious generals, but now the Rongguo Mansion will follow the route of military generals. I'm afraid it won't work. Although your grandfather has gone through the battlefield , but almost all the old people went down. Those who stayed in the barracks were all new generals. They were about the same age as me, and some were even younger. After all, your father was away from those years and had never participated in it. , Right now, the emperor is holding on to meritorious deeds and waiting to start. If you take the route of a military officer, I am afraid that you will not be much better than Jia Jing in the end. Therefore, when you said that you want to take the martial arts exam, I advise you to go south to take the essay."

Jia Lian nodded: "I was also worried about this at first. Although it is said that the Jia family started with military exploits, after all, our family has been away from those generals for some years. I may not know much about my father. At the same time, looking at I have always been worried about the extravagance of the old ladies in those families with the same martial arts. They are all in the name of ancestors and emperors, and they use their old faces to support their facades. But think about it in another position. If I am I don't like the emperor either. I've been worried that if I don't go well, the whole family will be hurt. It's better to be a rich man at home. But right now, if I really become a rich man..."

Speaking of this, he clenched his fists under the table: "If I really become a rich man, I'm afraid I won't have any face when my children and grandchildren grow up. When my father is around, the old lady can do that. If I If my father continues to be confused, then it is unknown whether I will have a grown-up son. Let alone. I am just a little fifth-rank official who bought it. Does anyone care about me? Who knew that I, Jia Lian, was the owner of the Shezao Rongguo Mansion? Who knew that all the relationships in that mansion should belong to me? I'm afraid I only remember, my uncle and aunt, remember the old lady .”

Wang Ziteng nodded: "Okay... there is no need to talk about these. What you have to do now is to stabilize yourself as much as possible and not to worry. Lin Ruhai and I have already discussed that no matter what your ranking is, you will enter the Imperial Academy An editor. After three years of editing, I am afraid that all the chaos will be a foregone conclusion. At that time, I will find you an outsider, starting from the bottom county magistrate. It is safe to go."

Jia Lian got up again and thanked him. He knew this was the best way.It is also his most hoped way.

The author has something to say: Regarding the imperial examination, I hope that the textual research will not be too serious.

I didn't choose the routines that are commonly used, but simply brought some.

Therefore, if you are entangled in detail, you will lack the meaning of reading the text.

After all, I am not writing about how to be literary, but how brilliantly I write.

I'm just explaining the matter between the imperial examinations.
