Chapter 575: Visiting Relatives and Friends (1)

The residence of Taipingfang was purchased by Jiang Anyi when he was a member of the Ministry of Rites. Dong'er and Tong'er had been jealous here. Now both daughters have married him, and finally the merits have been fulfilled.

The feeling of returning home is always urgent. When you walk into the streets and alleys that are still familiar, the horse's hooves can't help but become rushing. You can see the red lanterns hanging in front of your door from afar. Perhaps when you hear the sound of horse's hooves, several people came out of the door. Jiang Anyi jumped off his horse and his eyes fell on the young man walking in front.

"Zhichang, are you Zhichang?" Jiang Anyi asked uncertainly. The young man in front of him was nearly an inch taller than him, and his still tender face looked a bit like a teacher-made master. The old half-baby was already adult.

"Zhichang has seen the master." The young man bowed to say hello. It was Fan Zhichang. Jiang Anyi helped him up and down with both hands, looked up and down, sighing, "After three years of separation, my teacher almost couldn't recognize you. He was taller than me."

He reached out and patted Fan Zhichang on the shoulder, Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "No, it's quite strong, not as weak as he looks."

Fan Zhichang bulged his arms and smiled and said, "The master taught Brother Shi Tou to practice martial arts. I also learned a few moves beside me. I practiced five-step boxing every morning and never stopped. An ordinary strong man is no match for me."

Jiang Anyi joked: "Shitou has become a family and is about to become a father. Zhichang, do you have a woman you like, so you can come to propose marriage for you while you are in the capital."

Fan Zhichang's face turned red and he didn't dare to say anything. The servants next to him came forward to greet him. Jiang Anyi saw two familiar faces and said a few words with a smile. Everyone entered the house with a smile.

The house is divided into front yards and back yards, with more than 20 houses each. The front house is cleaned and the bedding and utensils in the house are replaced. Jiang Anyi moved into his original residence, leaving behind the former residence of Dong'er and Tong'er. The other houses are for Park Tianhao and six personal guards to choose from.

Fan Shiben and his wife rushed to the front yard, and there was a chill. Fan Qiao smiled and said, "An Yi, after your family left, I will dismiss some servants. There may not be enough staff. You feel wronged for two days first. I will buy some from the tooth merchant tomorrow."

Fan Shiben returned home to meet his wife and children. Fan Qiao was happy to learn that her husband would not leave again when he returned to Beijing. Speaking of his son Zhichang's exam this year, he didn't know if he could win. Fan Shiben felt very guilty about his wife and children for three years. After reading his son's poems and essays, he nodded repeatedly and praised: "Chang'er's talent is much better than being a father back then, and it should not be difficult to pass the exam today."

Fan Qiao was both proud and worried, saying, "How to explain the "Examination" clearly? Even if Chang'er is talented and knowledgeable, he may not be able to win. This year is the first year of Jianwu. There are more than 10,000 scholars who came to take the exam. I heard that many of them have deep backgrounds. I heard that some people in Beijing sell "Examination Records". Do you think of a way to walk around?"

Fan Shiben smiled and said, "Chang'er's grandfather is still a famous scholar. One of the three masters is the top scholar who was ranked three years old, one is Tanhualang, and the other is the mountain chief of Zechang Academy. Even if he is almost a Jinshi, he is still a Jinshi. If he can't get to the top, wouldn't it mean that the examiner is blind?"

"With that being said, Chang'er is only eighteen years old after all. I heard Chang'er say that Deng Siye advised him to try again after the exam. Maybe he will win the top three, but Chang'er was anxious and insisted on taking the exam. He said that An Yi was also the top scorer at the age of eighteen, and even if he was not as good as his master, he could win at least. Alas, I, a woman, don't know what to say. Master, you are back, and you will have to pay more for Chang'er's business.

I'm hearted." Fan Qiao said.

Fan Shiben was silent. He couldn't be careless about his son's test-taking. However, he remembered that Jiang Anyi had told scholars about the test-taking strategy at Jimin Academy in Huazhou. Afterwards, some scholars compiled it into a book based on their memories, which was regarded as a treasure by scholars and did not copy it at random. Some people even spent a lot of money to collect records from different people, striving to get the most complete version.

This conversation record is very popular in Huazhou. Fan Shiben accidentally saw it from a student in the county school and was amazed at what Jiang Anyi said. As a person who experienced it, he had a deeper understanding of this conversation record. Jiang Anyi's analysis of the article in the conversation record was thorough. Fan Yanzhong might not be like him simply from the perspective of exams.

Of course, Fan Siben didn't know the existence of "Like Jiyun Collection" and thought that Jiang Anyi was extremely talented. No wonder he could be the top scorer at the age of 18. Since Junior Brother Jiang has this ability, he must first teach Zhichang, let alone Zhichang is still his disciple.

So when you saw Jiang Anyi, Fan Shiben said bluntly: "Chang'er will be taking the imperial examination soon. You, the master, teach him well these days. If Chang'er can't get the first place, it's embarrassing that you are the master. Don't blame my father for coming to you with crutches."

Today is March 29th, and it is only ten days before the meeting. Fan Siben thought that Jiang Anyi would be busy in Yongchang, so he simply said to Fan Zhichang: "Zhichang, time is precious, your Master Jiang's time is precious. Now you go and show your daily poems and articles to your master and let him give him guidance. Tomorrow your master will go out to do business, and you will think about it at home, and then tell your master what you have learned and what you have learned in the evening, so that he can continue to give advice."

Standing up, Mr. Fan said to Jiang Anyi seriously: "Anyi, I know you are busy, but no matter how busy you are, you have to take time to teach Zhichang. Brother Yu thanked me first."

As he said that, he bowed to the ground, what else could Jiang Anyi say? Senior Brother Fan gave up the comfort of Beijing and left his wife and children to help him in Huazhou. He should do his best to help him in terms of emotion and reason. He helped Fan Shiben up, Jiang Anyi said: "Don't worry, Brother Fan, Anyi must do his best to do his best and dare not delay Zhichang."

Jiang Anyi said this sentence with confidence. After all, the book "Like Ji Ji Yun Ji" took Zhang Hong to earn decades of hard work. Jiang Anyi and the next two exams were held. Jiang Anyi asked Tian Shoulou to copy all the articles of the third grade to him. Combined with the analysis method of "Like Ji Ji Yun Ji Yun Ji", he was still sure of the direction of the imperial examination.

After reading Fan Zhichang's article, Jiang Anyi began to guide his disciples. Fan Zhichang's solid foundation and extremely intelligent skills, and had a clear understanding of the tricks at one point. He understood it faster than the Fan Man next to him, which reminded Jiang Anyi of the situation when Mr. Fan taught him back then. Perhaps this was the passing of the martial arts. Looking at Fan Zhichang in his prime, Jiang Anyi's fingers smeared the short beard on his lips, and he was almost old.

When I woke up the next day, the sun was shining outside the window. Today is March 30th, and it was the holiday day. Jiang Anyi was going to visit Master Yu. Yu Zhijie had already learned about Jiang Anyi's entry into the capital in Zichen Hall yesterday. He thought he would come yesterday, but he didn't expect to be kept by the prince. This morning, Yu Zhijie sat waiting for his proud disciple to come.

At the end of the year, Jiang Anyi walked into "Youjie Zhai" accompanied by Yu Qinghuan and Yu Qingle. Although he changed his residence, the plaque and couplet of Youjie Zhai were not replaced. Yu Zhijie moved them to his new residence. Yu Qinghuan passed the examination in the 14th year of Fengle and failed the exam. Yu Zhijie knew his son's level, and it was very difficult to get the first place, so he wanted to find a job for him to live.

Emperor Shi Fangzhen

After learning about it, the Ministry of Personnel appointed Yu Qinghuan as the head of the head office (under the eighth rank) at the Sinong Temple, in charge of the matter of serving the imperial director to select rice and wheat. It is said that the officials of the juren mostly started from the ninth rank. Like Li Shicheng, who served as the head chief of the ninth rank, was four rank worse than the head office order. This was the contribution of the emperor to reward Yu Zhijie for doing his best to manage the Ministry of Revenue.

When Li Shicheng learned about it, he was very jealous and wrote several letters to his brother-in-law Jiang Anyi who was far away in Huazhou. The implication was that Jiang Anyi could speak for him and try to be able to transfer the order as soon as possible. Jiang Anyi was speechless about his brother-in-law, and he was used to pretending that he had not seen his letters.

As for Yu Qingle, he manages a perfume shop, and the supply of perfume is in short supply. As the open owner of the perfume shop, Yu Qingle is very popular and can be considered a vast friend in the capital. Yu Qingle gave birth to a daughter with Zhang Yuzhu two years ago, and Jiang Anyi raised his annual salary to 5,000 taels. This salary made many people jealous.

Yu Zhijie knew that Jiang Anyi was rich but did not refuse, but Zhang Yuzhu was very careful and gave Yu Qingle only five taels of silver every month, and the other money was searched. However, Yu Qingle was not worried about silver, and the perfume was sold tightly. Someone asked him to come to ask him for help. They were all rich people, and they got the 20 taels of benefits at random. Two or three hundred taels a month was enough for him to spend money. A beautiful life came from Jiang Anyi, so he learned that Jiang Anyi was coming today and stayed at home and waited.

At Jiezhai, Jiang Anyi knelt down and paid a visit to Yu Zhijie on a big week. Yu Zhijie received three bows from Jiang Anyi and signaled Yu Qinghuan to help the proud disciple. After three years of not seeing him, Yu Zhijie has grown much older and has gray hair. Jiang Anyi sighed sadly: "I haven't seen him for three years, Master Yu has grown much older. The Cordyceps and Black Chicken I sent me can nourish and maintain health. Master Yu must eat it regularly."

Yu Zhijie also took care of Jiang Anyi and said with a smile: "Anyi has accumulated short beards and looks much more steady, and has a bit of a dignity as a priest. I ate the Cordyceps you brought, and Zhicheng also sent me some wild mountain ginseng from Qianzhou. The effect was good after I took it."

After reaching out his hand and rolling his beard, Yu Zhijie sighed, "This white hair and beard is unforgivable for the years. My husband is already fifty-nine this year."

Jiang Anyi was shocked and shocked. Thirteen years had passed since he first met Yu Zhijie. The radiant Master Yu was already old.

Seeing that Jiang Anyi appeared in Qi Rong, Yu Zhijie smiled and said, "Anyi, my couplet before the veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterinary veterin

The three people said with great shame that Jiang Anyi felt aroused and bowed: "Mr. Yu taught him a lesson."

"There may be major changes in the court in the past two years," Yu Zhijie said slowly: "Chen Xiang is getting older and he may retire in a while. Now the government affairs of the Zhengshi Hall are mostly undertaken by Kong Xiang, and Ma Suizhen may become the prime minister."
