beautiful heart

"Crackling" approaching the night, the sky suddenly thundered, and it rained heavily in the blink of an eye. Xiaoyue, Huang Xi, and others were all in a hurry to go out. Ken didn't bring an umbrella, and he didn't expect The weather that was fine just now suddenly rained.

"Miss, it's raining heavily, let's go back and come back tomorrow" Xiaoyue said and anxiously used her hands to protect Shui Jialing from the rain, but the rain was so heavy that it couldn't stop it, dripping through the fingers and dripping into the water Jia Ling's face.

Seeing that Shui Jialing didn't answer for a long time, Huang Xi knew that she didn't intend to leave, so she quickly took off her coat and handed it to Xiaoyue, and the two of them pulled each other and held it above Shui Jialing, the rain was blocked and did not fall on Shuijia again Ling's body.

As soon as Ma Ren saw that it was going to rain, he asked a guard to run back to get an umbrella. He didn't expect the rain to fall so fast and there was no time to prepare. He and Wang Zheng could only work on the sidelines. Zhe Yu quickly followed suit, and even asked the accompanying guards to take off their coats.

Shui Jialing's mind has been blank ever since she found out about her master's death. She doesn't know what to do, and she doesn't know what to do. When she thought of seeing her master, she came here. Seeing the new soil and new stele in front of her, she couldn't stop crying. I don't know how long it has been flowing, and it didn't stop until dawn.

To Shui Jialing, the master is more like a father than a mother. He not only taught her medical skills, taught her how to be a human being, but also raised her from a young age. His love is naturally better than that of her father. The death of her father at the beginning of the year has already hit her hard. Unexpectedly, the master abandoned her again near the end of the year. And go, the blow is naturally quite big.

Shui Jialing knew when Xiaoyue and the others came here. They kept persuading her to leave and she knew it was because she was worried about her, but she didn't want to leave. She wanted to spend more time with the master, the kind and kind master, because he must There are still many things I haven't had time to say to myself.

Shui Jialingyu, who was completely immersed in the grief of her master's death, didn't even know that she had been kneeling for a day. She always thought that she had only arrived at the cemetery not long ago, but the moment the rain hit her face, she suddenly realized that a day had indeed passed , no matter how unwilling she is, time is still walking like a stubborn child.

"You guys go back." Shui Jialing said the first sentence of the day with her hands to remove the clothes above the rain. She needs rain, needs rain to wash herself, needs rain to recede her strong-willed disguise, needs rain to express her current state Feeling.

"Miss, I won't leave either." Xiaoyue threw away her clothes and knelt beside Shui Jialing, with a resolute face, letting the rain hit her face more fiercely. Miss treated her like a sister since she was a child. She never treats her badly, no matter whether she is a sister or a master and servant, she will never let the lady stay here alone, let alone Shi Yi and Bei Shanding's entrustment, even more so.

"Senior sister's filial piety touches heaven, and junior brother is ashamed. I would like to kneel together to fulfill my filial piety." Huang Xi had long expected that Shui Jialing would not accept it, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. Since the senior sister didn't want to leave, he wouldn't leave either.

"The subordinates are also willing to leave." Ma Ren, Wang Zheng and the guards also knelt down after finishing speaking, holding a knife in one hand to let the rain wash away. Their duty is to protect Shui Jialing, but they are more submissive to Shui Jialing personally, because As a princess, Shui Jialing is affectionate, righteous and filial, which is enough to make them surrender.

"You..." Shui Jialing was very emotional when she heard the words, she understood their intentions but she didn't want them to follow her in the rain, she turned around and wanted to order them to go back immediately, but before she could finish her words, her eyes went dark Just passed out.

"Miss……"

"Sister..."

"lady……"

Xiaoyue and Huang Xili were closest to Shui Jialing, one on the left and the other on the left. They quickly caught Shui Jialing who was about to fall to the ground. Although they caught Shui Jialing, they still couldn't relieve their anxiety and worry.

Along the way to the north, Shui Jialing had to rest and eat less in order to rush on the road. When she came back, she knew that her master had passed away and she hadn't even touched a drop of water. They are very nervous.

Different from the cloudy and rainy weather in the north, the south has been sunny for several days. The warm winter sun warms people's hearts. The woman who had long thought about drying the quilts quickly took out the quilts at home, and the whole trip The city immediately sprinkled white dots everywhere.

Bei Shanding, who had already recruited a group of talents, was in a good mood. He went to the Tranquility Palace to pay his respects to his parents as soon as he went to court. He also had a meal with the two elders by the way. Since the dinner that day, there have been talents coming to seek refuge for several days. She was afraid of neglecting the talents and didn't even have time to eat, so she had been busy for quite a while before she finally settled down.

In the past, the selection of talents was based on recommendation, such as filial sons or very talented people. However, with the continuous corruption of the government, the recommendation system was controlled by aristocratic families, resulting in the situation of "the upper class has no poor families, and the lower class has no noble families". , so that it is difficult for a talented person born from a poor family to occupy a high position.

In troubled times, although the powerful families have restrained themselves, the recommendation system is still controlled by them. For example, the Donghai regime, which relied on aristocratic families to make a fortune, is the Beishan family. The power of recommendation is controlled by the Wang and Li families. The heads of the family are Wang Cong and Li Lu, who are still in the court and are the oldest ministers in the court.

Although they admired Bei Shanding's poems at the dinner party, and they also understood Bei Shanding's desire to seek talent, they did not intend to give up their rights, so they joined forces with the courtiers to put pressure on Bei Shanding, but Bei Shanding didn't eat them at all. One set, she is not her father, how could she be threatened by them.

In order to evade the power of recommendation from the two great families, Bei Shan made a decree that anyone with talent can recommend himself to see her directly, that's why she was so busy, and Wang Cong and Li Lu reported illness the next day when pressure failed. At home, even their cronies are also on leave.

The government that could barely maintain was suddenly paralyzed because of their leave, but Bei Shanding was still not in a hurry, and gave them half a year's leave in a face-saving manner, allowing them to recuperate at home. Wang Cong and Li Lu, who were not sick at first, became really sick later. fall down.

Without the hindrance of the two great families, the sages really came to the East China Sea actively, and Beishan Ding did not neglect any of them. No matter where they are, as long as they are talents, they will be treated equally as guests.

As long as someone recommends herself to see Beishan, she will be interviewed at the first time. Once she just got up and was washing her face when she heard someone came to recommend herself, she immediately dressed hurriedly and went to the imperial study to let the sages who knew about the matter respect her again. After going up one floor, Beishan has become even more famous since then.

Meeting talented people in the Imperial Study Room is not just about family affairs, ambitions, and talents. Bei Shanding will not only ask them about their basic family conditions, but also ask them about their political ideals, and then test their talents and abilities. Talent is calligraphy, painting and poetry, and ability is the ability to do things.

There was no exam at all in the previous dynasty, and there was no such thing as this. Kitayama decided to set a precedent for the exam with poetry, calligraphy, painting and policy theory for the first time, which laid a solid foundation for the later imperial examination system. Kitayama just didn’t want talented people to fish in troubled waters. Unexpectedly, it made preparations for her subsequent reforms.

After a brief examination, Kitayama decided to grant appropriate positions according to their talents, and then let them take up the post immediately, and he sent someone to observe them from the dark. After a period of observation, if it suits Kitayama, let them continue to do it. If suitable, he will be dismissed.

The government, which had been paralyzed for nearly a week, finally resumed normal operation with the continuous gathering of talents. It is better to be influenced by one's ears and eyes than one who has just entered the official career.

Although within a period of time, Bei Shanding had recruited nearly a hundred talents, but there was only one person that Bei Shanding really admired. He was called Xu Fang, who was born in a poor family in Suzhou and used to be a small official in Suzhou. When he came to Xingcheng, Beishan Ding happened to make an order, so he recommended himself to see him with the mentality of giving it a try.

Although he didn't know this young princess of the East China Sea, he had heard of many of her deeds as early as in Suzhou. He already admired Bei Shanding's talent, but later learned that she succeeded in suppressing the rebellion at a young age. Later, admiration rose to worship.

Generally, talented people are very self-respecting, and Bei Shanding himself was born noble, and now he has become the overlord at a young age. He was worried that he would not reuse talented people, so he did not come to the East China Sea. Who knows the other three The Lord of the Land and the King of Jin are both unwilling to reuse people from poor families.

Xu Fang had no choice but to come to the East China Sea just now, but he didn't expect that Beishan Ding was far beyond his expectations. He was not only courteous and virtuous, but also very friendly. He would not look down on his humble background like other overlords, nor would he be arrogant and put on airs like other overlords , he finally found the Ming Lord he had been looking for but couldn't find, and secretly swore in his heart that he would swear allegiance to Bei Shanding.

Bei Shanding didn't know what Xu Fang was thinking, nor what Bi Heng and Zhu Man were thinking. She only knew that talented people should be reused. She was educated in modern times and naturally she wouldn't be as talented as ancient people. Among the deep families, it is her cognition that heroes do not ask where they come from.

Now Bi Heng, Zhu Man and Xu Fang have become Beishan Ding's capable subordinates. Most of the things Bei Shanding left to them respectively. Fortunately, they did not disappoint Bei Shanding. Although the work did not reach 100 % Satisfied, but can also get eighty points.

"What day is Hongye today?" Bei Shanding, who was writing the memorial, suddenly raised his head and asked, so that Xiao Jizi and Hongye, who were about to fall asleep, woke up immediately, "Master, today is already the ninth day of October." Usually, the lord remembers the day I know better than anyone, I must have been too busy recently and forgot.

"Really?" Bei Shanding said as if talking to himself, then lowered his head to approve the memorial, thinking in his heart that Shui Jialing had been in Suzhou for almost ten days, and it was estimated that in a few days, the beautiful lady would send a letter. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth widened.

"The lord Gu Mei and Chen Ping are asking for an audience outside the hall." Xiao Dongzi suddenly ran in from the outside to give a courtesy report, which made Bei Shanding, who had been busy dealing with government affairs, finally stop the brush in his hand, "Xuan".

Long before Shui Jialing left, Bei Shanding asked his senior sister, Gu Mei, to go out and run errands for her. He originally wanted to keep Chen Ping for reuse, but who knew that he wanted to follow Gu Mei wholeheartedly, so the two of them went to do errands together, which is why it took so long Neither was seen.

Gu Mei must have known about her admiration for Beishan, but she never thought of using Gu Mei to do things for her. This time, the matter was really important and she could not be entrusted to others, so she asked her for help. Unexpectedly, Gu Mei didn't even think about it. I agreed.

Although the master ordered the two to serve Beishan, they are her senior sisters and senior brothers after all, and the two of them did not say that she could not force them to work for her, so they are still her senior sister and senior brother until now. Thanks to their help this time, Bei Shan decided to find some time to have a private talk with them.

If they are willing to work for her, Beishan will naturally entrust them with a heavy responsibility, because she believes that the abilities of the apprentices taught by her master will not be inferior there. If they don't want to, she can't force her. She has been very pleased, and she will not force the rest.

It is very likely that Gu Mei and the original owner are in love with each other, but because of her arrival, everything is in vain, because she is not the original owner, and her hobbies, habits, and people she likes will be different. It's better than two people suffering for a lifetime in the future.

Fortunately, Gu Mei is stronger than she imagined, and she didn't get depressed because of this, nor did she become hate because of love. Between love and hate, Beishan must know that if a person hates because of love, he will be extremely terrible, because he I will try my best to harm you, and I will do whatever it takes.
