Chapter 62 The Little Black Room

"Zhang Tingyi?"

Lu Shusheng looked at Qian Yuan suspiciously, "What did you ask him for?"

Qian Yuan pointed to Di Bao, "Those who were born in Jinshi have outstanding military achievements. Are there any one who is the right person in Zhang Jingqi in the world?"

Lu Shusheng nodded after being silent for a while, "No."

Indeed, Zhang Jing became the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi as early as the 16th year of Jiajing to quell the rebellion of Yao people. Later, he pacified Ding'annan and quelled the rebellion of Si'en's nine chieftains and Qiongzhou's rebellion. He made many military achievements and advanced to the Right Minister of the Ministry of War.

"Zhang Tingyi returned to his hometown to mourn. I heard that Nie Shuangjiang recommended him to resign. Logically speaking, he was the former right assistant minister of the Ministry of War. This position happened to be a vacant one, but now Wang Minying emerged..." Lu Shusheng said slowly: "Transferred to the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing... Hey, this is a free position."

Nie Shuangjiang is Nie Bao, who was once the magistrate of Huating County, and now he is the Minister of War.

"Idle job?"

"With the Prime Minister Jiangnan Governor Ying Tian's tax and grain, the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing does not have much real power." Lu Shusheng explained casually, glared at Qian Yuan and said, "At a young age, do you really think you are an unparalleled national savant?"

Qian Yuan was a little nervous. Does Zhang Jing’s resumption mean that the large-scale Japanese turmoil is about to begin?

"Who is the Minister of War in Nanjing?" Qian Yuan asked tentatively.

"Fei Xiu, this year, he is already seventy-three years old and is bedridden all year round." Lu Shusheng was stunned and said slowly: "Tu Dashan, the Minister of the Ministry of War of Nanjing, has just been transferred to Governor Ying Tian..."

Although there were only a few questions, Qian Yuan outlined a clue with less obvious but distinct lines, from the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing to the Minister of War in Nanjing... Regardless of whether Wang Minying robbed the position of the Right Minister of the Ministry of War, Nie Bao had obviously had the intention to use Zhang Jing in Nanjing to fight against the Japanese.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Shusheng looked at the young man in front of him with a brand new look, "No wonder someone said... you are more than enough to be a master."

Qian Yuan smiled shyly and didn't say anything.

But the old man Lu Shusheng immediately exclaimed: "If you fail to pass the imperial examination, you will never make a name for yourself in your life. You are from Huating, not from Shaoxing!"

Is the reputation of Shaoxing’s master so bad?

"You are the turn to worry about the important affairs of the court? You are full and full!"

"For the Japanese pirates who may encounter, they will move their families together. They are both wise and brave. Is Zhenchuan blind? "

A fierce scolding echoed in Qian Yuan's ears. His hands drooped in respect, but his eyes were staring at the stick that was waving in the air from time to time... The old man had a poisonous mouth, a bad temper, and was very strong!

"What are you thinking about all day long now!"

"Say it!" Lu Shusheng paused and shouted outside: "Who is outside, come in!"

Looking at Lu Shude who was timidly retreating into the door, Qian Yuan rolled his eyes. He was really careless about making friends. He didn't say that he had escaped before, but he actually came to watch the fun. This guy probably wanted to see him be beaten!

Looking at his younger brother who was afraid of himself, Lu Shusheng snorted, "It's really the one who is close to the red and the one who is close to the ink and the one who is close to the black!"

Old man, are you unreasonable... Qian Yuan glanced at Lu Shude, did this guy use me to lead him?

But it was obvious that Lu Shude's attention was focused on Qian Yuan, who seemed to be unscathed. He boldly complained: "Brother is unfair!"

Lu Shusheng's hand holding the stick tightened. Are you trying to rebel?

"I used to be scarred, but now Brother Yuan..." Lu Shude's voice became lower and lower, "Brother, don't tolerate..."

Tolerate? Tolerate to raising rape?

Qian Yuan took a deep breath, "Don't come to me when you want to leave if you want to have a big stick in the future."

In Lu Shude's eyes, his brother's eyes became more and more dangerous. He wisely said in a hurry: "Brother asked Brother Yuan what he did all day long?"

"I know!"

"Hey!" Qian Yuan was anxious, but before he could cover this guy's mouth, he separated him and Lu Shude with a stick.

"Cooking for three meals a day, sometimes you have to serve the fields." Lu Shude spitted out everything, "Recruiting the guards to practice martial arts together, and just now running wildly on the street..."

Qian Yuan swallowed and forced himself to explain: "I left home for half a year and cooked to filialize my mother and served the fields in the same way as the old man and young..."

In Lu Shusheng's opinion, the Qian family is extremely talented, clever, and has a unique understanding of major affairs of the court. If they can be a Jinshi, their future will be far higher than their son-in-law.

But now it seems that this guy is walking a little bit crooked... Lu Shusheng sneered, "I'm not afraid of going wrong, I'll help you correct it."

Half an hour later, Lu Shusheng looked at the paper on the table in a wooden manner, his voice a little hoarse, "Brother Yuan, you think..."

"What?" Qian Yuan was worried. This was his first time writing and making art.

Lu Shusheng's voice suddenly became violent and he stared at Qian Yuan and said word by word: "Is it embarrassing to lose it?!"

"How did you pass the scholar? County, government, and college entrance examinations? So many examiners are blind?"

Lu Shude happily followed and took a few glances, praising: "The words are simple and quite wild..."

Qian Yuan's mouth twitched, this guy really knows how to curse people!

"The thick and messy ones are inappropriate." Lu Shusheng licked his dry lips and drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp. "How many hours do you have in the study in a day?"

Qian Yuan opened his mouth and wanted to say, Lu Shude beside him snatched: "I heard from the Qian sister that Brother Yuan got up at the moment."

Lu Shusheng's eyes were wide open. Scholars of this era all paid attention to morning reading. To put it nicely, they would be accustomed to going to morning court when they became officials in Beijing in the future. Generally, before the third hour of Mao, it was around 6:30 in the future, and at the time of Si... it was already past nine o'clock.

"By the way, I said the wrong thing just now, three meals a day... It should be two meals a day. Brother Yuan cooks." Lu Shude said with a smile: "You have to serve the fields, take a nap, and practice martial arts..."

"I'm a night owl." Qian Yuan defended with a sinister face, "I have at least three hours a day in the study!"

Three hours are six hours. Qian Yuan thought he was quite a bit self-righteous, and he was the head of the family, and he had some common tasks to deal with.

But Lu Shude suddenly laughed, "Three hours...hahaha!"

"No need to say it." Lu Shusheng waved his sleeves, "From tomorrow, we will be with He Cheng, study day and night, and can't write the eight-legged essay that satisfy me. Don't want to leave half a step!"

Qian Yuan was stunned. No, is there anyone who did this?

Why lock me up!

"I have already said that no one will discipline you, so I will take care of you." Lu Shusheng's eyes were bright, "You can entrust your uncle to deal with family affairs, you just need to concentrate on studying."

"Sir, but..."

"This is a good thing!" Lu Shude grabbed Qian Yuan who was about to come forward to argue, "Brother Yuan, if you don't make it to the Jinshi list, it will be the moon in the water after all."

It is indeed a good thing. If you can get the guidance of the famous Hanlin Academy, Mr. Pingquan, the chance of Qian Yuan succeeding in his career will naturally increase greatly, but you can't be locked in a small dark room!

Qian Yuan looked back at the sincere Lu Shude, hesitating.
