However, this matter does not have much impact on Eruri, but it is just a matter of eating a trench and growing wise. Eruri, who is smiling all day long, is getting more and more popular in this position, coupled with his literary brilliance, and slowly his practical chores are as clear and thorough as those who have been working for decades, so that the seniors of the department have even developed a ' If the petty officials are confused, they will ask Eruri's habit, which is really a bit of a reserve cadre trained by the state as an intern, and the idea ability of the scribes is no longer in Eruri, plus it is estimated that the literati old-timers take a lot of care of Eruri's seedlings, and they actually divide Eruri's own division to avoid his business robbery going too far. And the beautiful thin gold body outside the calligraphy body of the Eruri answer sheet has been appreciated by the superior cultural people, so the life of Eruri is quite nourishing. However, Erluli classmates also don't want to be seen, that is, those princes who are awesome and shining, and they are crunchy all over their bodies, especially the eldest brother, of course, maybe this is the result of Qi Shi's thousands of instructions - son, they are not good classmates, let's stay away.

One day in November, Kangxi asked Li Yushu next to him as usual: "I remember Erluli, last year's champion, how is it in your Hanlin Academy?" ”

Li Yushu took a look: This is the emperor who asked me to evaluate talents, these years have not been peaceful, there are always some people forcing people to line up, but Erluli This kid is good, and his background seems to be very good, well, he looks good, he is a ...... In an instant, the mind turned back to the words: "Erluli himself is talented, but the young man is ambitious but not arrogant, diligent and humble, and willing to practice...... quite his father's style. ”

Kangxi listened very well, Li Yushu commented on a person It seems that this child is good, but the last sentence suddenly raised Kangxi's nerves, remembering that Eruri's Ama is not Qi Shi, this emperor is also for a while, Kangxi is here to turn over the music and think, Li Yushu no longer said much, he just reminded Erluli who is the son, don't need the emperor to think about it, when something happens, don't leave the handle.

At this time, the eunuch submitted the documents that Erluli was responsible for, and Kangxi flipped through them on the spot and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't know that Erluli was not only quite charming but also wrote such a high-quality thin gold, which is not easy with his young age." ”

The more Kangxi flipped through the documents, the more he felt that Erluli was really talented, and discussed a few more words with Li Yushu, and praised these documents. So soon after, Kangxi rewarded Erluli with a promotion, and in January of the 33rd year, he was promoted to Erluli and a half-grade, and was promoted to a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and a companion of the Ten Princes.

After Qi Shi heard about Erluli's promotion, it was like a bolt from the blue, and he wrote three times in a row to impeach his son for his young age, and he was still an official for a short time, and his knowledge was shallow, so he was not worthy of this promotion. His words are sharp and sincere, if you don't know, you still think that he has a feud with Eruri.

When the emperor generally likes to do things against people in this situation, in order to show his imperial demeanor that is different from mortals, sure enough, Kangxi replied to refute Qi Shi's excerpts, and taught Fan Qi Shi a very stern lesson, how can he wear colored glasses to look at people because Eruri is young, relying on his own Lao Tzu? It's good to look at Erluri.

Qi Shi sighed, so he had no choice but to tell his son to 'get out of the mud without being stained, and clear ripples without demons'. Although Kangxi criticized Qi Shi, he still liked Qi Shi's spirit of not fighting for the limelight, so Kangxi promoted the spirit of Qi Shi to others: "Being honest is not good for the limelight, and it is worth learning from all of you." ”

Forbidden City, a corner of the upper study

A children's voice that seemed to have been heard somewhere sounded in a low voice in a residence, "Old Ten, what are you angry about!" Huang Ama pointed you to a companion, not for your own good. Tian Tian's Tongyin said a little sourly: "Besides, don't the starlings and the brothers above have a lot of this kind of learning guidance!" ”

"Brother Jiu, you don't tell your master that you have these things, and you don't know that you don't know that your brother has a headache!" Originally, this tuning perfectly interpreted the hearty temperament cultivated in luxury, and the crisp voice of a boy was particularly flattened: "Besides, what is that Eruri, I don't know how to coax Huang Ama, I don't even have a hair on the side of my mouth, and I still want to be the master's companion, so I have to teach him a lesson." ”

"Tenth brother, Eruri is Hajlan's elder brother, didn't you say that Hajlan is his sister? …… It would be great if Eruri was the master's companion! The sour voice came again.

The sweet children's voice immediately rose in sweetness because of excitement: "Ah, since Brother Jiu said so, I won't bother with Eruri, hey, reading, reading, it's very painful!" Brother Jiu still needs to be informed of anything else, and my brother will do it! ”

"Tell me, do you have something to ask me for?" The voice, which should have been a little sour, seemed to be twitching too much.

"Hehe, sure enough, Brother Jiu understands me. Aren't my brothers going to get married, and I don't have the money to follow them—" Brother Ten said with a little flattery in his hearty voice.

"I don't have any money!" Brother Jiu interrupted in one breath: "Didn't you tell your grandfather that Concubine Wen gave you silver, didn't your uncle also stuff you with some money, and he said that he had no money in just a few days!" ”

"Isn't all my money handed over to my subordinates to take care of, there are many people in this palace, so I have to give a reward." Brother Ten explained indifferently.

"Tip you! The slave calculates the money for the master, and you can do it - let the slave calculate the money. Brother Jiu changed the tone of his brother's accounting, and out of nowhere, he actually turned out a pocket abacus and pulled: "You have no money, you have no money, and you have no money, and you will calculate how much silver you owe to you in a year, and on the first day of the new year, you and your master asked for two taels of silver to send a slave out of the palace to buy a sugar gourd, and you actually bought one back・・・・・・ in April, you broke the third brother's Tang Dynasty three-color dragon handle pot, it was the master who gave you thirty taels to buy a fake and put it back for you, my manual fee is not counted, but you-"

Brother Ten hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the abacus in Brother Jiu's hand, "Brother Jiu, what do we brothers do so clearly!" Besides, how can you have no money, didn't your grandfather come from Shengjing at the beginning of the month? ”

"I borrowed it from the fifth brother with the prince's wedding before my son, isn't this repaying the money, I would have known that I wouldn't give it to the fifth brother first." Brother Nine changed his tone, I really want to lend you money, but unfortunately I can't do it, and then sighed helplessly: "You should have told Brother Nine earlier." ”

But the tenth elder brother suddenly got angry: "You just want to do it!" If you don't borrow, you won't borrow and use the fifth brother as a disguise, you've been using this trick for half a year! You're not annoyed and tired, you're still tired, you're not going to be with you, you're not going to be with you! After saying that, regardless of a brute force, he threw the abacus back to Brother Jiu, this force was like throwing a hidden weapon, fortunately, Brother Jiu was clever and grabbed it with his backhand so that he didn't hit his body, and he was not annoyed and raised his eyes to look at the tenth elder brother who was still standing in place and huffing.

Sure enough, Brother Ten then stretched out his finger and began to calculate: "When I was five years old, we fought crickets, and you tricked my Changsheng general into feeding wine, and the general died." On my sixth birthday, my uncle gave me a pair of canaries, and you tricked me into selling them for money. When you were seven years old, you once delayed your homework because you were playing with carved seals, so you handed in my essay, and I was scolded by Huang Ama-"

Speaking of this, Brother Jiu interrupted helplessly: "It's not because you wrote too badly, it's okay that you were scolded, I was punished for kneeling for one night." Come on, I'll serve you, Ming'er, you can find Ruizhu to get the silver. Then seeing that the tenth elder brother thanked himself happily, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Let's go, go back to the study to study, otherwise we will be caught by the master and we will desert......"

The two walked out of the corner and walked gently to the study, reading a book.
