Shi Wen became more and more reluctant to see the Jia housekeeper that the Yu family arranged for him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Yu family said verbally, "You don't have to be polite to him, even if you send him to do things." ”

But who doesn't know that this Jia Yuan is the younger brother of Master Yu's concubine, he is a lazy eater on weekdays, and the purpose of following Shi Wen to Beijing is not too obvious.

Thinking that when he arrived in the capital, he had to rely on the relationship between the Yu family to dredge, and Shi Wen was quite patient with him along the way, the two ate and lived together, and the little guy in the inn also thought that the two of them were going to Beijing together to catch the exam.

When they arrived in the capital, the two found a familiar inn, settled down and saluted, and Sven went straight to Wang's house.

Wang Kui, the head of the Wang family, and Professor Yu are old friends, and now they are almost old, and they are still working as a poor editor in the Hanlin Academy, but in the eyes of outsiders, they are "amazing" Beijing officials.

Before Shi Wen came to the capital, Professor Yu pointed out two ways to him.

The first one is to be an official, just in Shi Wen's arms, he didn't want to take the exam again, if he can make up for the gap in time, and quickly take office to make money. There are so many people waiting for a shortage in the capital, in addition to the hard door, the most important thing is to see the amount of money.

At this point, Shi Wen still has some confidence, the Wu family has prepared a full 20,000 taels of silver tickets for him, let's see if he can knock on the door of the nobleman.

The second is to continue the scientific examination, if you can't become an official, you have to take the normal channel, and when the time comes, it is good to take a little bit and choose a rich place to boil up your qualifications. Moreover, those who are born in Jinshi have more advantages as officials, and there is more room for promotion.

Because the time was still early, the door of the Wang family had not yet opened, Shi Wen looked at the couplet posted on the door: "The emperor's grace is happy to come to spring, and the glory of Wenzhi is getting newer", and he thought in his heart that this must have been written by Wang Hanlin himself. After lingering outside the door for a moment, I suddenly heard a "creak" of the door, and an old butler came out.

Shi Wen hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, held the name card to explain his intentions, and the old housekeeper let him to the concierge, took the notebook himself, and ran in (gifts to meet officials or elders).

After waiting for a long time and not seeing anyone come to invite him in, Sven was puzzled.

Shi Wen didn't know at this time that a poor Beijing official like Wang Hanlin could easily survive a three-year trip, so he was counting on a few more rich protégés so that he could pay off the old accounts and then make new ones.

After the year, there were new people who came to the capital to participate in the examination, and he also met a lot, often meeting Zhang San to listen to Li Si, and meeting Li Si to inquire about Zhang San.

The Yu family recommended Shi Wen's letter, he had already seen it several times, and knew that this Shi Wen had a rich woman and concubine, so he fell in love with him.

The old housekeeper trotted all the way, Wang Hanlin hadn't gotten up yet, he took the notebook with half-squinted eyes, saw that it was Shi Wen, and immediately woke up, and ordered: "Invite people to the study and make a bowl of tea." ”

Mrs. Wang had already finished grooming, and pretended to be casual and said, "Did you bring it in?" ”

The old housekeeper paused and handed the gift box and five taels of bags (rewards) to the maid.

Mrs. Wang took the silver and took it in her hand, opened the gift box one by one, and carefully groped for it several times, even the gap between the brocade cloths. didn't ask her to look for it in vain, and finally drew two silver tickets of one hundred taels in the bottom box.

Mrs. Wang said, "I have to have two hundred taels." ”

Wang Hanlin turned over and jumped off the kang after hearing this, didn't even have time to put on his coat, and turned the gift box over again, feeling lost in his heart.

Isn't there a rich woman in Shiwen's family, why is there only two hundred taels of silver? Looking at those gifts again, they were all worthless food and local products, Wang Hanlin's face suddenly changed, and he said to the old housekeeper: "I don't see." ”

Shi Wen waited for a long time but pounced, he didn't even get a bowl of tea, his heart was angry, and he didn't have a good face for Na Jia Yuan when he returned to his residence.

Jia Yuan didn't look down on him in his heart, but he thought that Shi Wen was an upstart after all, and maybe he would soar one day, so he lowered his head and coaxed Shi Wen to go back the next day.

For three days in a row, Shi Wen didn't see Wang Hanlin, and he became more and more dissatisfied with the Yu family in his heart.

I didn't want to be on the fifth day, Sven was bored to listen to a book, but he met him in a teahouse.

The seat was tight, and Sven wanted to share a table with someone, but when he saw two official-looking men drinking tea, he said something to disturb.

Wang Hanlin and Gao Gong didn't look at him in their eyes, Shi Wen introduced himself, and almost made Wang Hanlin angry, blocking everyone into the teahouse!

When Qinglan's family cleaned up the new house, Xiaobao and his father also went to the capital and came to Shu's house for dinner on the thirteenth.

"I really envy you." Xiaobao was thrown into the dormitory of Guozijian by his father, and he was quite resentful of this, "I am an adult, and they still treat me as a child." ”

Xiao Baoxu is only fifteen years old, and the capital is a world of flowers, and Master Ding is afraid that his son will live outside and study badly.

"I might have to live in a dormitory too." Qinglan comforted him.

"But for your Zhuangzi?" Xiaobao suddenly felt that he was not so miserable.

Qinglan nodded and said to Thirteen: "Brother He'er will trouble Wu Shi." ”

A few days ago, Zhuangzi, who Qinglan asked about the thirteenth, finally had news.

The best place is naturally around Huangzhuang, originally Thirteen wanted to buy all the land near his Zhuangzi, and then give some to Qinglan. But the land around him was either the emperor's uncle's family or the emperor's brother's family, so he had to go far away.

Qinglan asked him tentatively: "Xiao Tangshan... Is there anything nearby? ”

Thirteen glanced at her, and the Zhuangzi of Xiaotangshan also dared to think that the previous dynasty built the Royal Forbidden Garden there, and now it has become a palace, what do you say?

Qinglan flattened her mouth, and her disappointment was overflowing.

Thirteen turned to Emperor Jingtai.

"Two hot spring Zhuangzi?" Emperor Jingtai looked at his youngest son with a smile, you are the hot spring Zhuangzi of Xiaotangshan is cabbage, and there are two!

"Erchen doesn't want a birthday gift this year." Is it right to advance your birthday gift in advance?

Emperor Jingtai glared at his youngest son, don't give it, it seems that he is stingy as a father, give it, Emperor Jingtai has a headache, where to change two hot spring Zhuangzi for you, you must know that most of those Zhuangzi are from the royal family or the noble family.

"One." Emperor Jingtai deliberately pulled down his face, love or not.

"Done!" Thirteen agreed very simply, and when the time comes, he will go to the surrounding area to touch it.

Emperor Jingtai sent his youngest son away, brushed up the people who had annoyed him recently, and said to Shi Gong: "Call the Seventh Prince to see me." ”

The poor Seventh Prince, who has been quite honest since the incident, was scolded by Emperor Jingtai with his pigtails, and took back the coming-of-age ceremony given to the Seven Princes that year, the hot spring Zhuangzi, and gave it to the youngest son.

This Zhuangzi is the largest and best grange in the vicinity, with a gentle slope and a large field of land underneath, with a natural stream flowing through it.

Thirteen asked someone to collect some land from nearby retail households, and divided Zhuangzi into two, and he and Qinglan were one and a half.

"This..."Qinglan held the title deed in disbelief and looked at it for a long time, didn't she say that it was difficult to get a hot spring Zhuangzi?

Thirteen's unbeaten expression seemed to say: Who is the master, and what else the master can't do?!

"Our family only has 30,000 taels now." Or add those of Old Man Pan, Qinglan is afraid that she doesn't have enough money.

"No money." Thirteen is very generous.

"That's not good, my father and mother will scold me to death." Qinglan refused to take advantage of Thirteen.

"Just as I give you a birthday present." Thirteen thinks this excuse for giving gifts is very good, no wonder the ministers are old and have a birthday, their own lives, their daughters-in-law's lives, their fathers' lives... That's a lot of silver.

...... "My birthday is still early, and you see who gives a birthday gift as soon as it is a Zhuangzi, or a hot spring Zhuangzi!"

(Emperor Jingtai: I~\(^o^)/)

"When are we going to take a look?" Thirteen haven't been there yet, and I heard from the people below that the Zhuangzi is very good.

"Now?" Qinglan also can't wait to know what her Zhuangzi is like, this is her first time as a local master!

Zhuangzi is naturally good, the Seven Princes love to eat fruits, and there is an orchard on the mountain, which is an unexpected surprise.

Shu Lao Er praised the land for a good job, and he and Pan Erniang decided on the spot that they would come to live in Zhuangzi as soon as spring began and plan well.

On the return carriage, Pan Erniang kept talking about her plans, "... When the seedlings are ripe, raise chickens, I think the stream is very good, your father said that when the time comes, dig the pond that stores water and open it into a pond, and raise some fish, shrimp and crabs..."

Qinglan smiled and listened to her mother's plan, and gave some advice from time to time, suddenly, she thought of her three sisters and brothers, and asked Pan Erniang: "Mother, you and your father went to Zhuangzi, what should we do?" ”

Pan Erniang said: "Accommodation house, I have thought about it, you stay in the dormitory, Mingyu must have a place to live with Mr. Ji, as for Brother He, I can only trouble Mr. Wu (Wu Shi)." ”

"...... "Okay, Qinglan said in her heart: Mother, you have to hurry up when the time comes, I don't guarantee how long I can endure the collective life."

Shi Wen's urgency to urinate, but he didn't dare to move on the outside, this is a test that every official must endure. He secretly relieved himself, Sven, this opportunity was bought back for five hundred taels of silver, if you can't help it, this money will be blind.

It turned out that day, after Shi Wen reported to his home, he was ridiculed by Wang Hanlin in secret, and Shi Wen suddenly opened his mouth, it turned out that he thought that he had less money!

Thinking of the appearance of Wang Hanlin and the prince of the country, Shi Wen learned to be obedient when he came to visit him again, in addition to the gift of two hundred taels, there was also a silver ticket of five hundred taels stuffed in the brocade box.

The world is like money, and this time I really met Wang Hanlin.

Shi Wen made it clear that he was pleading, and Wang Hanlin was silent with his eyes down after listening.

He's settling accounts right now. wants to be an official, Wang Hanlin is disgusted that he doesn't have this ability yet, he just has a friendship with Gao Gong, so most of the people who come to him are studying.

Wang Hanlin looked puzzled: "This lack is not good. "Let's start with your low price.

Shi Wen smiled and said: "That's why I came to ask Lord Wang, who doesn't know your lord..."

Without waiting for Shi Wen's sycophants to finish, Wang Hanlin waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about those false ones." "Just tell me how much money you can pay.

Sven chuckled dryly and held out a finger embarrassedly.

In the past few days in the capital, he has seen the prosperity at the feet of the Son of Heaven, a bowl of noodles costs thirty yuan, and a pot of tea costs two taels of silver, which is enough for the next restaurant in Jinan.

Wang Hanlin sneered in his heart, but his face was even more grim, and he shook his head directly: "Impossible." ”

Sven was immediately disappointed, but he didn't want to give up just like that, "If, if the family thinks of a way, maybe we can get it..."

Wang Hanlin picked the corners of his eyes and was speechless for a long time.

Shi Wen was anxious and had some expectations, 20,000 taels was enough to buy a small house in Beijing.

Halfway, Wang Hanlin raised his eyes and said incomprehensibly: "I'll help you inquire first." ”

Shi Wen was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out a stack of silver tickets from his chest and presented them, "Lord Lao is bothered." ”

Probably thinking that he could succeed this time, Shi Wen also invited Jia Yuan to drink a meal after returning to the inn, and Jia Yuan was busy flattering him: "In the future, we will point to the master." ”

Shi Wen smiled silently, but said in his heart: When the master becomes an official, the first thing he will do is to send you away.

Early the next morning, Sven was woken up by the sound of gongs and drums, and he curled up the window to look out. Who knew that at a glance, he saw that the tall man was locked up by the official and went to Dali Temple, accused of bribery and personal gain!

Boom - Sven's mind went blank, this, how is this good!

On the eighteenth day of the first month, Qinglan and others went to Guozijian to report.

Guozijian looks the same as the one in the photo that Qinglan saw in the later generations, her favorite Chinese literati Wang Zengqi once wrote an article "Guozijian", at this time, in addition to the flashy Piyong, most of them are consistent with Wang Zengqi's description, but it is just a matter of time and use, it seems that Guozijian at this time is relatively "young".

Of course, at this time, Guozijian had not yet been "poisoned" by Qianlong, he was simple and peaceful inside, and the students who came to report were also gentle and moderate, and even their steps were light.

As the highest university, Guozijian does not have high requirements in cultural classes, but the comprehensive quality level of talents is very high, which may be the common characteristic of all excellent universities.

Those who come to study in Guozijian are generally "scholarship" students, who have a monthly allowance of eight taels of silver, and after graduation, they can be assigned to other places to be officials, but the official position is not high.

The current dynasty is relatively lenient in the management of these "scholarship" students, unlike the previous dynasty, and there are also "seniors" who were forced to starve to death and hanged.

Most of the students who come here are gilded, and the children of the nobles at their own expense have jobs with mixed diplomas, and the "scholarship" students can make a wide range of contacts, and then participate in the Spring Festival, and once they are in high school, they change their homes.

Qinglan and the three of them filled out the form, received their school uniforms, and went to Mr. Ji's residence to meet them.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I heard a woman's voice from the courtyard.

The three of them stood in front of the door and hesitated, would it be inappropriate to go in at this time?

"Why don't we come back later?" Xiaobao asked the other two quietly.

Qinglan checked her feet, she was just curious about who the woman there was, could it be... Master's Spring Has Arrived?

Thirteen glanced at Qinglan's expression, and knew that this kid's gossip mistake had been committed again. At this moment, there was a gentle sound of the piano in the courtyard, which was accompanied by the low singing of the gentleman!

The three children looked at each other, could it be that they were really "playing the piano" and saying love?
