Chapter 68: Best Friends
The first update
On the day of the Queen Mother's birthday, Emperor Zhengyang took hundreds of civil and military officials to pay homage to his mother, and after the worship, the old Queen Mother went back to rest, and he and the queen feasted together. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info I also saw the picture of 100 longevity, and the huge picture of 100 years of life of the Shen family was not hung out, and the queen mother was very happy to see the embroidered screen presented by the queen just now, and deliberately stayed on the banquet for the ministers to watch. It is not easy for Emperor Zhengyang to think about it.
Emperor Zhengyang's eyes are not very good, and he usually takes a crystal mirror to look closely, and from a distance, he thinks it is a calligraphy, and he wonders, "It's a good writing, but what everyone wrote asked you to make a screen to protect." ”
The queen smiled 'poof', the screen was very large, and she couldn't be lifted down, so she hurriedly pulled Emperor Zhengyang over to look. Poor Emperor Zhengyang wore a crystal mirror and had to stick it on the glass screen, only to see clearly that this was embroidery.
The emperor has also been soaked in good things since he was a child, just to say that his dragon robe is the best in embroidery, not to mention, in fact, every piece of clothing he wears, and the things around him, are full of embroidery. His level of appreciation is also top-notch.
"This embroidery girl is good, but it doesn't look like the queen's commonly used Hui embroidery." Emperor Zhengyang couldn't help but boast. Emperor Zhengyang is a frugal person, and when his underwear is torn, he asks the concubines to mend and wear them, saving the money of the Internal Affairs Office.
What the queen gave to the queen mother, he naturally didn't want to be too extravagant. Although this embroidery uses money, Li Ping naturally can't really use gold thread, but uses golden silk thread. There was no mess around, which was very close to his eyes.
"Yes, this is embroidered by the wife of An Xiangye's proud protégé, and this word was written by that protégé. It is rare for the two couples to have a deep affection and cooperate with each other, otherwise it would be difficult to achieve this picture. "The queen can't let Li Ping embroider in vain, of course, she has to talk about the name of Old Man An's protégé.
"An adult's protégé, which lady of the Aiqing family has this skill?" Emperor Zhengyang was even happier, and the minister's wife embroidered it, not to mention spending money. I just turned around and praised it verbally, and I couldn't help but feel very happy.
This is the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, and the first-class ministers and close branches of the clan are also going to come in and kowtow. Old man An and his wife also sat very close, and as soon as Emperor Zhengyang spoke, Old Man An got up in a hurry.
"The emperor has forgotten that the old minister drove ducks to the shelves three years ago and reluctantly took the main exam. However, the old minister found a fool to come out. Reading and writing are not bad, but his daughter-in-law is good, she can cook, embroider, and have children. His dolls are so cute! Old man An smiled, looking funny.
"The boss is really, it turns out that he is a newcomer to Hanlin. Dare to ask who is the master? Emperor Zhengyang covered his beard and smiled, the two hundred and ninety-seven new recruits are all students of the old man, those who can enter the eyes of the old man, and those who can embroider things for the queen should be extraordinary.
The main reason is that I feel that this time I am afraid that even verbal praise will be saved, and the seven products of a small Hanlin Academy will be redundant to appreciate the vase. You must know that Emperor Chrysostom said that verbal praise is not really so light. When you turn around and make a mistake, you have to say, 'My wife was praised by the words of Chrysostom!' That's a shame.
"Zeng Fan, Zeng Zicheng, the emperor still remembers the review of the newly promoted Hanlin Academy." Old man An smiled and bluntly said Zeng Fan's name.
"Is it the second one in the exam?" Now the emperor still has a little impression of Zeng Fan, and he can personally mention him from the third to the second last year, and also said that this article looks quite stable and very substantial.
"Exactly, the old minister originally wanted to avoid suspicion and refused to put him in the top ten. However, I felt guilty that because of the old minister's selfishness, he could have entered the top ten, but he deliberately pressed him to the forty-eighth place on the second list. Old man An looked ashamed, but he also did it, this is really his proud protégé.
Emperor Zhengyang is also a student of the old man, and he still knows the old man. Hearing this, I also know that Zeng Fan was very happy with the old man. The old man is not the kind of master who can be liked casually, since Zeng Fan can be suppressed like this by the old man, he must be extraordinary, so he changed the title of Zeng Fan to editor.
Editing and reviewing are both seven grades, but the role of editing can be very different from that of review. The review is the compilation of history, and the revision is the emperor's secretary, helping the emperor to draft edicts and so on. Although this position is as irregular as the review, everyone will remain in office on a rotational basis. But this is also a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he has nothing to do with the Son of Heaven, this is a position that is easy to get the favor of the Son of Heaven. After a few years, where there is a vacancy, maybe it will rise all of a sudden.
As soon as this edict came out, it was a different scene in the Hanlin Academy. The good thing is naturally congratulations, but most of the same year who was admitted to the same year as him was only envious, jealous and hateful.
Everyone is in the same division, but I am afraid that they will greet Old Man An face to face, and Old Man An will not know them. They didn't dare to say that Old Man An was not, so they naturally wanted to half-truthfully congratulate Zeng Fan on having a good wife.
Originally, Zeng Fan often said this, but when these people said it, they had a rash all over their bodies, and they felt a little creepy. Fortunately, Xiao Jing and Hu Liang were also in the Hanlin Academy, and the two of them stood beside Zeng Fan and patted him together, and he asked for teaching, so that Fang scared those sour people away.
Hu Liang was a tanhua, and he was given the post of editor of the Hanlin Academy early, but there was no more improvement in the first year, even if the family is also a heavy minister, but the real family also understands that making his son too smooth is not love, but harm. So it's really suppressed a little harder.
Hu Liang can find a lot of friends, but in the end he went back to the academy and listened to Zeng Fan's class, Zeng Fan's calmness made Hu Liang calm down, Zeng Fan never persuaded him to do anything, the two of them studied together to do learning, talked about the questions raised by the students, and the two discussed together.
Hu Liang calmed down, he didn't have to make money by teaching, but when he had nothing to do, he went back to the academy and read and debated with everyone.
Zeng Fan's change to Hu Liang also made the Hu family look at it, although there was no more interaction, but on the New Year's Festival, Hu Liang's wife would also send gifts in person.
And Xiao Jing has always had a good relationship with Zeng Fan, at the beginning of going out, he didn't have any gains, following a group of noble sons, what can they see? Actually, you can't see anything. It's just a new reason to eat, drink and have fun outside.
Of course, at the beginning, he had a lot of fun, and the letter he wrote to Zeng Fan was also full of regrets, and he felt that Zeng Fan did not come, which was really a big regret.
Zeng Fan also replied and sent it to their next stop, and they picked it up by themselves. Among their routes, there are Zeng Fan who has been there, and Chen Fuxing who has been there. He will write down what he has gained, or what Chen Fuxing has gained, in the letter, so that they will not forget to feel a thing or two.
Zeng Fan said that he had been there, but he was just passing by on the way to Beijing, and in the spirit of not wasting it, when he arrived at a place, he stayed in the local area for a day, took the children to go shopping, ate some snacks, and then listened to local stories and bought one or two miscellaneous books such as local county chronicles.
What they felt everywhere was not the route that the noble sons would take, Xiao Jing read the letter, and naturally wanted to try it, and the others followed. What they see and think is actually very different.
When I wrote the letter again, there was a kind of sympathy between the two. After coming back, Xiao Jing was actually very different, and the three of them really became close friends.
