Returning the Way (15)

The mat will be placed for seven days. In the name of the Jia family, it will be known to everyone in the capital?

What is this to do?

Help the Supreme Emperor slap the emperor in the face?

What do these people think about this? Do you know that Enko only took 138 people this time? Enko Enko, originally a scholar in Shi En, is generally admitted to Enko, more than a dozen or even hundreds of people than the normal imperial examination. This is called Shi En. Now, if there is no intervention from the Supreme Emperor, you will see the ghost.

The Huiyuan I ordered happened to be from the old noble Jia family. If Emperor Zhenglong had not met him before and had made an agreement in private, Emperor Zhenglong would be even more unhappy.

Of course, no one knows this. Then those who understand the two or three things behind the imperial examination should understand it. The matter here is not simple. The old Hanlins always advised the Fourth Master to be more low-key in their words. Because everyone understands that you must not attract the emperor's attention at this time.

Anyone with a hint of a glance would not come up with such a stupid idea.

The Fourth Master frowned: "This palace examination is right in front of you. Now it's so high-profile, it may be unfavorable to the palace examination. If the palace examination can win the championship again, it will not be too late to discuss it at that time."

Jia Zhen disagreed and said, "Now it is already two yuan for Jieyuan Huiyuan. Isn't it easy to call another top scholar to make up three yuan?"

The Fourth Master quickly said, "How can you guess the holy heart?"

Jia Zhen was just here, but she still disagreed with her face.

The Fourth Master said only: "Go back and say this to the Master, he must understand."

What do you understand?

At most, you understand that the holy heart is unpredictable, and nothing else can be imagined at all.

It’s only one day to congratulate, and it’s only a curfew for social engagements.

The next day, Lin Yutong responded, saying that he only accepted gifts and did not entertain guests. He said that he was preparing for the palace examination. No one could choose.

Jia Mu called people twice, but Lin Yutong didn't want to go. She just passed the exam with the Fourth Master. Now she is a person of the same year. There are 66 people who come to visit her and she has to entertain people at home. Therefore, she didn't care about it at all. The person who came to invite people was the servant in Jia Mu's yard. Lin Yutong asked her to follow her and asked her to see if she was really busy or fake.

After returning, the maid told Jia Mu: "...I always say that for families like us, there are not a hundred or eighty in a day. It's a blessing for a capable person like my second grandmother to take care of everything inside and out clearly. Now that I have gone to Mr. Heng's house, I know that the new noble family is not free. Their temperament is incomparable to ours, but there are still many trivial things. I came to visit and ask for articles in the same year, and invited tea parties, poetry parties and literary parties. I have to ask clearly who did it and where it was done. Some of them are considered to be unable to go. But some are not allowed to go. But there are no regular cases at home. Everything has to be done by myself. Whoever takes the gift is not considered a loss of etiquette, and whoever takes too much gift is afraid that they will think too much..."

Jia Mu understood that everything is successful in her family. The master said, and her servants prepared according to the regular rules. There were some unimportant things that the master didn't have to know, and she could understand the food by in charge. But there was a new portal there, and there was no such thing, so she had to think about it. She nodded: "I'm not thinking well. That's all. With everything, everything is from nothing to something." As he said, he taught his daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law a lesson, "Now our family lives with the remaining wealth accumulated by the ancestors, and we have to regret it." He also said Wang Xifeng, "In the past, only slap, they said that you can do it as much as you can, and it's fine to talk at home. If you really want to make trouble from nothing to something, you may not be able to do it well in someone's family."

Wang Xifeng laughed: "Old ancestors are really good at sending people. When will I say what I can do? I was originally a clumsy person, and I took the old ancestor's routine and did things or didn't understand it. There was also a wife who mentioned it. This is how old lady, you have sent me wrongly. Who would want to say that I can do it in the future? I won't be able to do it anymore. I just want someone to slap them." As he said that, he sighed, "I know that the old lady doesn't love me anymore, but now I'm afraid I regret asking me to come to our house. It's also our Lian Er's bad luck. If he had been born a few years later and a few years earlier, wouldn't this be a good marriage?"

Jia Mu smiled and said to Ping'er: "Come on the mouth of your master for me. How sooner or later can you say serious words?"

The house smiled and the matter was revealed.

Pian Baoyu interrupted: "The Taoist said, 'I regret that I was asking my husband to find a title'. Sister Yuan Tong came when she had time and was happy to talk and laugh with her sisters and sisters. Now that her husband has achieved fame, she is not at ease! Why bother to do this?" As she said that, she sighed again, very worried about Lin Yutong's unfairness.

After a moment of silence in the room, Aunt Xue said, "It's really a child's word."

Mrs. Wang's face looked better: "I'm really a villain, I don't know how sooner or later I'll grow up."

The room suddenly started to laugh again. Jia Baoyu leaped into Jia Mu's arms. Maybe he knew that he had said stupid things again, so he smiled. Xichun looked as if he was embarrassed. This incident was over.

It was noisy for half a month, and the time for the palace examination was coming.

During this period, more than 100 people were so proud. Many of them had pulled the past half month through their interactions. Generally speaking, Enko had basically not been dismissed at this point, so he was still relatively relaxed. He might think that interpersonal relationships were more important.

The Fourth Master is an alien here. He was so bored at home for fifteen days and didn't even leave the door.

On the day of the palace examination, I got up in the middle of the night. The Fourth Master went to bed since the afternoon, and woke up after midnight. Then I washed up and ate, but didn't dare to drink soup. I went to the palace for a day, so it was not very convenient to leave Gong.

Although it is warm now, I still feel a little cold when I wake up in the middle of the night. It is probably hot at noon. I have to be particular about dressing. In short, entering the palace and preparing to enter the palace are both a very uncomfortable thing. The Fourth Master and Lin Yutong have a deep understanding of this. It is also considered to be experienced. Lin Yutong showed off the enthusiasm of sending the Fourth Master to the palace back then, and put all the medicine in his purse, jerky meat, sour plums, and mint candy in his pocket.

The medicine is to prevent an unexpected disease similar to stomachache. The meat is dried to satisfy hunger, the sour plums do not quench thirst, and the mint candy is to remove the smell in the mouth.

Because they are all people with promising futures and scholars, there is no such thing as a search. The exams are not fake in public.

I arrived outside the palace gate early, and many people were already standing there waiting. The one said, "Brother Li, come early!" The one said, "Brother Wang, we are each other." The one said, "Brother Zhang, we will definitely be the first." The one responded, "How dare we do it?"

I could hear it, and I was very excited.

The Fourth Master didn't get off the car until the minute, so he sniffed in the car again. When he arrived at the gate, there was something going on. Someone came out to check their identities and then let the person in. The Fourth Master got up, wiped his face with a wet veil, got out of the car, moved in, moved, and moved over.

All processes are like others and he is like that. There is no trace of being taken care of by special care.

After entering the palace gate, stand and wait at the entrance of Baohe Palace.

From dark to dawn, and when red light appeared in the east, a red sun was about to jump out of the horizon, the sound of whips rang out. The gate of Baohe Palace creaked open, and Gao Sheng, an official from the Ministry of Rites, sang words like "The auspicious time has arrived." Only then did the small officials of the Ministry of Rites and eunuchs come over and lead everyone inside.

The seat after entering is not a casual seat. The eunuch at the door randomly puts the number sign. If he doesn't go to this point, he will not know where he will sit. It's completely random.

The Fourth Master's position is also considered to be in a normal manner. He will not sit under the emperor's nose if he is not in front, but he will not be in the back or in the corner, which will make people not notice it. It is the position in the middle.

One by one, one by one, and then a small round stool is placed on each table. The table table is made of a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

After everyone was finished, the chief examiner Lin Ruhai and the six deputy examiners stepped in. The candidate saw the invigilator's gift, and the whip sounded again. After nine sounds, he heard a sing: The emperor is here!

Yes! You have to get up and wait, waiting for the emperor to come in, then ascend to the imperial throne, and salute to the emperor again.

Following the emperor, several ministers from the court were also present.

It was about to come when it was even more leaky, and nine more whips sounded: The Supreme Emperor was here.

The Fourth Master saw that Emperor Zhenglong got up from his seat, and then the eunuch cleverly moved another chair and placed it on the east side.

Then the Fourth Master knelt down with Daliu and welcomed the Supreme Emperor.

He really wanted to look up at this process, but he could hardly curb this anxiousness. It was not until the Supreme Emperor sat on the middle chair and Emperor Zhenglong sat on the newly brought chair placed in the east. The Supreme Emperor shouted, and the Fourth Master stood up and then looked up at it.

But this glance also made his heart beat wildly.

At this time, he really had only one feeling, that is, he had his own fixed numbers.

Back then, the Emperor Ama deposed the second brother, and now, the second brother also called Emperor Ama to become the Supreme Emperor.

Is this the case?

It is a relative, but not a relative, and the Fourth Master's heart gradually calmed down bit by bit.

When I sat down, no one was talking nonsense. The test papers that were rolled up and tied into bundles came down.

Then there is the focus on reading questions, reviewing questions, thinking, and grinding them by the way.

He is familiar with his emperor and his second brother. If he alludes to this, in addition to his different identities, are his interests and preferences quite similar? If so, then their thinking patterns and views on the problem should naturally be similar.

If this is the case, then only exams can not be mixed with too many opinions. The things in the article must be those who can impress the Supreme Emperor and those who can impress the Zhenglong Emperor.

And this time the test questions were actually targeted at sea bans.

The Marquis of Jinghai moved the capital from Xihai Yanzi, which was a signal. Of course, in order to protect itself, the Marquis of Jinghai must have tried its best to promote this matter.

Yes! The coastal areas are unstable, and the court cannot afford to pay for the money to Jingbian. The sea ban will be temporarily safeguarded in the short term.

If it continues for a long time, this will inevitably be another policy of blocking the country.

Therefore, the Fourth Master took a compromise method, which was divided into two parts: short-term and long-term policies. He believed that within thirty or fifty years, temporary temporary maritime bans were feasible. In the long run, using these thirty or fifty years to rectify coastal defense, build strong ships and cannons, and train maritime masters were the methods of long-term stability.

When the Supreme Emperor is old, he must have advocated the sea ban. But if this hole is opened, Emperor Zhenglong wants to open the sea ban in the future, he will inevitably overthrow the Supreme Emperor's will. There are many disputes in the middle.

The Fourth Master’s article covers both ends. This is the examiner’s favorite article, no doubt about it.

Because reading the article and selecting good talents, is the tendency of this article also the tendency of the examiner? This is the same as forcing the examiner to take the team.

The Fourth Master’s article is reasonable and well-founded. In addition, both the Supreme Emperor and the Zhenglong Emperor now know that the set of clay sculptures in the palace were made by this man. So for a person who is proficient in strange skills, he must be somewhat sure to make such things as strong ships and cannons. Even such an idea is worth a try.

No emperor would think of being in a place.

If there is a better way, no one wants to go around at home and abroad. At the end of the article, no emperor is unmoved.

Therefore, after being encircled by seven examiners, this article was recognized by both the Supreme Emperor and the Zhenglong Emperor.

The Supreme Emperor looked at the name and called the Fourth Master to come to ask. When he heard that he was indeed a child of the Jia family. Without saying a word, he ordered the top scholar. After finishing the order, he played with the Emperor: "It's feasible?"

Emperor Zhenglong smiled on his face: "Since my father has already ticked it, my son should obey his orders."

I don’t know if it’s true or false, but the Supreme Emperor doesn’t care about this. He even ordered the second and Tanhua to the two tribute students who supported the ban. At the same time, he was awarded the title of official position to the three. The Fourth Master was appointed as the editor of the Hanlin Academy and the seventh rank.

Lin Ruhai looked at the Fourth Master with a little worried look. I wonder if this top scholar is lucky or unfortunate? If the emperor minds it, it would be better to have a future exam for an unknown person.

The candidates have not yet come out, and this list has been posted.

The top scorer in high school, wearing red and flowers, parading on horseback, can't be too overbearing.

This time, Lin Yutong was waiting at home. The Jia family seemed to be Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, who had come, Wang Xifeng and Youshi helped Zhang Luo. The male guest asked Jia Xia and Yuliang to help. The man from the Jia family almost filled the front yard.

Lin Yutong was helpless. What can we do if these people are like this?

Before time, the servants of the Jia family went to inquire about the news one by one. Therefore, when the letter from the top scholar was sent over, the family knew about it.

The Jia family's urinary nature cannot cause good things. Everyone in the world knows that good things happen and they want to be arrogant.

Jia Rong didn't know how much he had withdrawn, so he ignored how much money he bought. Anyway, he just pulled twenty carts of firecrackers in one go. Before the Fourth Master came back, Ning Rong Street was covered with a thick layer. Shao Hua was so scared that he stuffed cotton into the child's ears. The noisy child was shocked.

There were two more cars of copper coins scattered along the streets.

Lin Yutong hasn't spoken for almost a day today. What is the money that is too much spent on others, and they are happy to do so. What do you have to say?

This time, the Jia family must have a mat. They did not give the Fourth Master a chance to talk to Lin Yutong. On that day, the Jia family set up a mat on the street. When the Fourth Master came back, there were still many people from far away coming over to eat a good meal.

I don’t know what I was excited about there, but the opera troupe sang and they drank wine, as if the excitement was really theirs.

But in fact, as soon as the Fourth Master came back, Yu Liang and the Fourth Master said a few words and took Shao Hua and the children home. Lin Yutong asked her family to close the door, and the four of them had a simple reunion dinner at home. They all rested.

At night, you can still hear the sound of Shengzhu from Ningrong’s mansions from afar. Then the Fourth Master told Lin Yutong about the appearance of the Supreme Emperor, and then said the test questions today. He estimated what his personal position and what the articles were written, and then... he didn’t go back and went to bed.

On the third day, King Zhongshun took this matter as a joke and told Emperor Zhenglong: "... Too stupid to such an extent, he was also wronged by the top scholar."

Emperor Zhenglong smiled: "It's okay for this Jia family, but this Zhen family in Jiangnan..."

Jiangnan controls half of the taxes of the court, and the Zhen family is the emperor. The family's money bag is held by someone, what do you want to do
To be continued...
