Chapter 220: Seeking Talent
"I didn't expect Mrs. Sister-in-law to be such a bold woman, I really didn't see it."
For such praise, Bai Qiaoshui is a little weak-hearted, she just likes ** beauties, why did she become bold?
"Eh, Brother Ciyuan, this is your mistake, Brother Yan Xiao said that Mrs. Sister-in-law is similar to me, why is Mrs. Sister-in-law bold when she comes to you, and I have become a good/womanizer?"
At this time, the man who was playing against Wen Yuan shook the folding fan in front of him and said slowly: "Who just said, what does the word bend and stretch that manly man mean?" ”
"Brother Mingyuan, isn't this sentence explained by Zidu, your memory has regressed again." Wen Yuan dropped the sunspot and lifted a white grain.
"Oh yes, Zidu, you said it yourself, and now you are going to be the first to violate this sentence?"
"Okay, okay, Brother Mingyuan is always reasonable, Mrs. Sister-in-law is bold, and her son admires her."
As he spoke, Zidu made a gesture in the direction of Bai Qiaoshui.
Bai Qiaoshui naturally smiled and replied with a bow.
This group of literati even likes to joke about Liang Zidu, and it seems that Liang Zidu is still quite popular among them.
The most suitable position for this kind of person is the military department secretary who is left and right, which can just replace Wan Qizhi.
It's just that the position of the secretary of the military department is still too high for a new section and a first-class officer, and replacing Wan Qizhi is a matter of only taking his time.
Liang Zidu is much better than Wan Qizhi.
It's just that I don't know if it's suitable to be an official.
When it was almost noon, everyone left, and Xiao Yan also left with Bai Qiaoshui.
When I went out, I deliberately glanced at the lake, and sure enough, the lotus picker was still in the boat on the lake.
But now it's time to start picking lotus flowers.
To the surprise of the two, Liang Zidu and Wen Yuan actually stopped by with them, and the five of them could even chat, and there was a distance of about seven or eight steps behind them, following Cheng Shu.
However, the current city is a little bitter in his heart, he didn't expect the two masters to sit in the building for so long before they came out, but he had to be taken care of by the sun in Yangzhou to turn into water.
What the? He didn't know to hide in the shade and wait for them?
Then you have to have a shady place for him to hide.
Who told his master to let him keep an eye on the lotus picker before they came out, and not let the lotus picker get close to the lotus picker?
In this way, he had to adjust the place where he was standing a little, and he couldn't stay far away from Shedelou.
And near where he is, there is really no big tree that can make him cool and cool for a while, and there are only trees about his height, this kind of tree, let him shade the shade of wool......
"Brother Zidu and Brother Wen Yuan are both rare talents, and now that the court is employing people, have the two of them thought about being officials in the court in the past? This year's imperial examination is less than a month away. ”
When he was about to arrive at the inn, Xiao Yu felt that the time was almost ripe, so he asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"This ......"
The two of them were a little hesitant about Xiao Yan's question.
"Brother Yan Xiao, let's not hide it, Wen Yuan has already participated in the imperial examination five times, but the water in it is too deep, I'm afraid I won't participate in it this time."
Speaking of this, Wen Yuan's eyes were full of pity and helplessness.
Is it because of the depth of the water?
"What does Brother Du think?"
"Zidu's family just wants Zidu to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, but in fact, he doesn't want Zidu to get involved in officialdom, Zidu's uncle was an official in the court before, but he was killed inexplicably."
"I heard that I took a bribe, it turned out to be such an upright person, and I was almost punished by the Nine Clans, but the water inside is deep, maybe the elders are afraid when they think of this......"
"What does that mean?" Xiao Yan asked this question very firmly, as if he would never give up without asking what he meant.
"Me...... Actually, if Brother Wen Yuan is willing to take the imperial examination again, then I want to go too, anyway, if there are acquaintances, the elders should be more or less at ease, and whether it is me or the elders, they believe in Brother Wen Yuan's personality very much. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Wen Yuan.
"If I really become an official, I must be a good official, definitely not like my uncle."
"Mrs. Yan, Fluttershy has one more word here, I don't know if it's okay?"
Xiao Yan and Bai Xiaoshui glanced at each other and nodded, "Miss Fluttershy, please speak." ”
"I know much more about the talents of Wen Gongzi and Liang Gongzi than you do, and Fluttershy thinks that she has read countless people, and the talents of these two are not under the top talents of recent years, but they are just unlucky."
At this point, Fluttershy pauses deliberately, looking at Xiao Yan and Bai Xiaoshui's eyes with a little more respect.
"And as soon as the two of you came in from outside today, Fluttershy intuitively felt that the nobles were coming, and if you think about it, the fortunes of Liang Gongzi and Wen Gongzi should also improve, and Yan Gongzi and Mrs. Yan really want something, please don't give up."
Fluttershy's earnest words are telling them that Liang Zidu's elders are not easy to deal with, and it is not like Liang Zidu himself said, as long as Wen Yuan goes to participate in the imperial examination, he can go.
Maybe even if he really went to participate, his elders would force him to resign from high school.
Moreover, Wen Yuan's thoughts were still wavering, the two of them really wanted to ask the real Magi to enter the court as officials, in a word-"Lu Manman's cultivation is far away", that's it.
Liang Zidu and Wen Yuan also heard some information about Fluttershy's words, but they looked at each other and didn't say anything.
After that, the three men started to talk about other topics, but it was nothing more than Xiao Yan who asked what these two people were good at.
"Brother Zidu has studied the art of war?"
"This is very loved, but the elders don't like it, once they find out that I read books related to the art of war, they will arrest me in the ancestral hall and reprimand me for a day, haha......"
"Brother Zidu's elders really want Brother Zidu to live an ordinary life."
Xiao Yan sighed like this, and then moved his gaze to Wen Yuan.
"I don't know what Brother Wen Yuan thinks of "Historical Records"?"
These inquiries are like the final imperial examination, but they are not as in-depth as the questions asked during the imperial examination.
Wen Yuan didn't expect Xiao Yan to ask him so quickly, and he was stunned for a moment before replying: "Sima Qianqi is upright and courageous, rigorous and fair, and is a model of modern literati, and we should respect and emulate him." ”
Regarding Wen Yuan's words, Xiao Yan smiled, originally for the question he asked, most people said what the "Historical Records" was, but Wen Yuan was separated from the entity of "Historical Records", and directly talked about the quality of Sima Qian's writing.
It seems that "the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth", but this is the answer Xiao Yan wants most, if a person can see other things through the thing itself, then this person's observation and analysis skills are also excellent.
"If you say it below, this imperial examination is much fairer and stricter than the previous ones, can Brother Wen Yuan try again?"
"This ...... Brother Yan Xiao, this, can you let Wen Yuan think about it carefully before answering? ”
"Of course, of course, if you think about it one day, Brother Wen Yuan must remember to tell me."
Wen Yuan nodded.
Xiao Yan glanced at the inn that was close at hand, and in the next moment, he asked the two of them for their respective accommodations, and then said goodbye to the three of them and entered the inn with Bai Qiaoshui.
Before going upstairs, Bai Wanshui turned his head and glanced at the three distant figures: "Xiao Yan, do you really want them to enter the court as officials?" ”
"Of course, such talents, the court is in short supply, if Wen Yuan and Liang Zi can be allowed to enter the court as officials, then Xiao Wei's guy is really much easier, even with this king and Su Wang is much easier." In fact, no matter whether there is such a person entering the court, he will not let himself be tired because of the things in the court...... Who called him an idle prince, right?
This time I came to Yangzhou mainly to accompany Bai Qiaoshui to tour the mountains and rivers, and to select talents...... It was meant to be incidental.
However, now, he seems to be a little reluctant to give up these two talents, so he......
"I see, under the banner of accompanying me to the mountains and rivers, it is true that you are recruiting talents everywhere." After saying that, Bai Xiaoshui gave him a big white eye, and then took a few quick steps forward and entered his room.
Xiao Yan also came in in the next moment, followed by Cheng Shu with an expression of "I'm going to be exhausted to death" on his face.
"Chengshu, what's wrong with you?"
Cheng Shu saw that he was named by Bai Qiaoshui as soon as he entered, raised his eyes and glanced at the lord in front of him with some caution......
Did this young lady deliberately want to kill him or something......
Sure enough, when he just raised his eyes, he saw that the smile on the corner of his master's mouth was a little gloomy and compassionate, and it was strange to see.
"Childe, young lady, my subordinates seem to have a little wind chill, in order to avoid infecting the two of them, my subordinates will stay outside first, you guys talk slowly, talk slowly." As he spoke, he stepped back and closed the door by the way.
"That's good, Chengshu, you have to remember to take medicine."
For Cheng Shu's performance, someone was very satisfied, and showed a very warm smile to Cheng Shu.
Seeing this smiling Cheng Shu from the crack in the door, his heart was dripping blood, it turned out that the master of his family, whether he was of the opposite sex or not, was inhuman.
He stood alone outside the building for so long, staring at the lotus picker for them, he was easy.
The reason why he went in just now was to have a sip of tea, but as soon as he entered, he was "bombarded" by his master because of a sentence from the "young lady".
And now, he has to show a very grateful expression on his face: "Thank you, childe......"
Cheng Shu, Cheng Shu, poor you, you can't get rid of this dog-legged image in your life.
When the door was closed and there was not a crack left, Bai Qiaoshui reacted.
Sitting on the stool, he poured two cups of tea, one of which was pushed in front of Xiao Yan and brought to his lips.
Looking up at the weather outside the window, it was obviously a big sun, how did the city get the wind chill...... It's magical.
Sure enough, the world is so big that there are no surprises.
This statement is always true.
Xiao Yan glanced at the tea on the table, he really didn't dare to drink it, he hadn't forgotten that Bai Qiaoshui's specialty was medicine, and it could be used quietly.
Bai Qiaoshui glanced at the cup of tea that didn't move, and suddenly understood something.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile: "Ouch, I sat in Shedelou for a morning just now, and my shoulders were sore." ”
Seeing this, Xiao Yan's face immediately appeared with a flattering smile that was more dog-legged than the city dream just now, and when he walked behind Bai Wanshui, he began to pinch Bai Wanshui's shoulder.
"Yo, why is His Royal Highness King An so attentive, did I really guess right just now."
Regarding Bai Qiaoshui's words, Xiao Yan was very smart and didn't answer, but just laughed dryly.
