Chapter Twenty-Six: Wang Sheng's Promotion and New Year's Eve
Waiting outside the palace, Ouyang Rui took the waist card to enter, in the entire Hanlin Courtyard, Ouyang Rui also has a waist card, otherwise, generally with three grade officials, let alone three grades, is a first-grade member, if there is no emperor summons, it is also necessary to pay a shout before entering.
Took Wang Sheng to the south study unimpeded, at this time, the emperor heard that Ouyang Rui asked to see, he had been waiting in the south study for a long time, when entering the palace, although Ouyang Rui could enter the palace directly with the waist card, but he also needed to say what he wanted to do, and then the special guards went to tell the emperor, and then, accompanied by another guard, otherwise, the palace was not very unsafe!
Therefore, when Ouyang Rui came, the emperor knew what he said, and when he asked the guards to help him report, the guards said: "Lord Ouyang, please come in, the emperor has ordered, if Lord Ouyang comes, please go in directly!" ”
A small thing, but it reflects the emperor's trust in Ouyang Rui, Ouyang Rui has nothing on his face, but he feels very moved in his heart, touched by the emperor's trust.
After taking Wang Sheng in, Ouyang Rui bowed his head to see the emperor, Wang Sheng naturally followed the courtesy, after the emperor said that he was flat, the emperor said: "Ouyang Aiqing, you haven't come to me for a long time, this time, what is the so-called matter?" ”
Ouyang Rui said: "Your Majesty, Weichen came this time because he was worried about the emperor a month ago, well, I can't say that, I can only say that it is related!" ”
At this time, the court was still noisy, and there was no decision on whether to make this donation, and the emperor was having a headache about it. ”
Ouyang Rui said: "Actually, this time, Weichen is here for the frontline grain and grass. This new Hanlin editor. Wang Zixian began to think, since the emperor said it, thinking of the previous flood, even if the treasury is abundant, but this granary is not enough, so Zixian thinks that even if he can raise enough silver taels, he is afraid that he will have no land to buy grain, otherwise. There is a shortage of food in the market, which will inevitably lead to a rise in food, and this method is not feasible! Wang Hanlin thought of a method that Weichen thought was a clever plan when he heard it, but Weichen didn't say it very clearly, and he only listened to it a little. Why don't you tell it in detail by Wang Hanlin!? ”
Only then did the emperor set his eyes on Wang Sheng, with appreciation in his eyes. Said: "This is Wang Hanlin?" Not bad indeed. Young and promising, Wang Hanlin, and tell me what you think. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty! Weichen thinks that since the grain and grass in our country are not abundant, why not import them from abroad? As far as Weichen knows, although the two countries are at war. However, some businessmen can still continue to do business, and they use these merchants to travel between the two countries. When they go to the Holy Days, they can buy the grain and grass of the Holy Days, and then transport them back to the country, as long as they send more merchants to buy the grain and grass in different places in the Sun-Days, in this way, the reaction of the Sun-Il Kingdom will not be so fast, then, they will soon be able to buy enough of the grain and grass we need for the war, and they can also offset the grain and grass in the market of the Sun-Days, and the grain and grass of the Sun-Day Kingdom will be cheaper than the domestic ones, so that as long as we wait for the next year, it is not known what the situation will be, if the war has not stopped, it is not too late to buy grain and grass with this method! If the Holy Yen Kingdom has a way to resist, it is better to subdivide it further, and the Holy Yen Kingdom is also invincible. Although facing the emperor for the first time, Wang Sheng was not overly nervous.
After hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but admire Wang Sheng, is it really a hero out of a young man, this Wang Sheng's method is really good, now as long as the problem of silver is solved, how to buy grain and grass, it seems that it will not be a problem.
The emperor praised: "Ouyang Aiqing, it is really good at teaching, even the new Hanlin can teach so well, let me admire it!" ”
Ouyang Rui also said a little proudly: "That's right, but it's also the emperor's insight into heroes, if it weren't for the emperor's wisdom, such talents would not be assigned to the minister's subordinates!" ”
Listening to the mutual praise between the emperor and Ouyang Rui who were in a good mood, Wang Sheng didn't feel bored, for what Wang Sheng said, this was a kind of insight.
The emperor doesn't have to think about it to know that Wang Sheng's method is very good, and if it is to be really implemented, then it must be kept secret, otherwise, if there are many people involved, it will be easy to leak secrets.
If it is said that among the three princes, the most reliable for the emperor is the three princes, so, after thinking about it, the emperor summoned the three princes to discuss this matter, the emperor means to let the three princes pick up the beam to do things, and only need to strategize in the back, as for going in person, the emperor feels that it is exempt, and let the three princes send a henchman, after all, it is deep into the Holy Day Kingdom, and the emperor does not want to take this risk.
Of course, Wang Sheng's method finally touched the emperor and set a donation plan, so the next day, when the minister continued to bombard Lin Shijie, who had already taken up his post on patrol, and said all kinds of disadvantages about the donation plan, the emperor's will smashed everyone couldn't see the edge.
It's all melons on the spot, it's not that they can't keep up with the times, it's really that the times are changing too fast, it's just a topic that is still being discussed, why has it become a given result? The ministers sighed with emotion, but they also knew that since the emperor did not let everyone discuss it like before, he must have made up his mind, but no one was stupid enough to offend the emperor's name, and he was not a fool to be a member of the court, so he naturally thought freely in his heart.
And, as Wang Sheng showed his face in front of the emperor, Ouyang Rui also saw that Wang Sheng was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, and simply showed his satisfaction with Wang Sheng, and also cordially met with Wang Sheng's top boss at work, and chatted with him about Wang Sheng's performance at work.
And in the Hanlin Academy, although everyone was red and jealous, especially Chen Zihan and Liu Sansi muttered and thought that Wang Sheng was a righteous gentleman, who would have thought that he would be so despicable to shoot Ouyang Rui's sycophants, let Ouyang Rui hold him like this, you must know that this is the first person Ouyang Rui has praised since he came to the Hanlin Academy, everyone who used to show intimacy with Ouyang Rui is now a big official, at least an official of the third grade, and now, they are so satisfied with Wang Sheng's performance, which can't help but make them mutter what happened, Why did Ouyang Rui suddenly look at Wang Sheng so differently, could it be that Ouyang Rui saw that this Wang Sheng would become a big official in the future? And is it expensive?
The crowd did not know the true reason for this. But they might as well guess the result blindly, although this has nothing to do with Ouyang Rui's intimacy with Wang Sheng, but isn't Wang Sheng unspeakably expensive, as for what it is, do you need to say it, naturally it is the father and the daughter who are expensive.
If Ouyang Rui's direct appreciation made everyone look sideways, then the emperor's holy decree came down, which shocked everyone completely, and at the same time. Everyone also suddenly realized, no wonder Ouyang Rui was so intimate before, it turned out that it was because Wang Sheng had made a great contribution to Zhilu Dao, otherwise, how could he be suddenly promoted. Although it was only a small promotion, the position has also changed from the seventh grade to the sixth grade. But. I don't look at how long Wang Sheng has been in the Hanlin Academy, and he has actually taken the position of a historian.
This is not easy, it is seen that this position is not much different from that of the Zhengqipin editor, but for some officials who have no background, they have to be promoted. It's not an easy task, some people are just nine grades all their lives, and they are just nine rank sesame officials, and the higher they go, the more difficult it is to be promoted. Obviously, I didn't look at whose thighs Wang Sheng was holding, and there was no obvious faction, for example, Chen Zihan was obviously the person of the eldest prince, and Liu Sansi was the person of the second prince, what about Wang Sheng, it stands to reason that he should be the person of the third prince, but I heard that the third prince seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Wang Sheng and gave up, so the current situation, either the third prince is just pretending to be dissatisfied, or Wang Sheng has really made a great contribution on his own.
However, some well-informed people know that Wang Sheng really made great contributions on his own, and what the so-called thing is, but they don't know Lu Dao at all, and when the second prince and the eldest prince knew the news, they secretly regretted why they didn't choose Wang Sheng at that time.
In fact, if the second prince and the eldest prince can pull their faces to contact Wang Sheng now, Wang Sheng will not refuse even if he doesn't want to, but the eldest prince and the second prince can't pull their faces, after all, if they gave up Wang Sheng at that time and go back to eat back grass now, they will be very faceless.
Therefore, the eldest prince and the second prince just went through the idea of wooing Wang Sheng in their minds, discarded it, and comforted themselves: It's okay, Wang Sheng is shit luck this time, this Wang Sheng without a background is not as good as Chen Zihan/Liu Sansi with a strong background, and his thoughts are not wrong.
The eldest prince and the second prince gave up Wang Sheng because of this, otherwise, Wang Sheng was worried about how he would refuse these two people without offending each other, and now he looked at it, the two princes didn't have this mind at all, Wang Sheng generally laughed at himself for his lack of charm, thinking too much, but on the one hand, he was relieved.
These things all happened before the New Year, since December 28th, the Hanlin Academy has been on holiday, even the emperor has been sealing the pen since the 28th, and the year is about to pass.
Seeing the arrival of the New Year, Su Xiaomei seemed to have asked for leave from the Wang family for something, as if she was going to spend the New Year with someone, and the Wang family naturally tried her best to keep it, but because of this first New Year, Su Xiaomei said that she would trouble the Su family in the future, and this New Year was to be spent by herself, and she also wanted to worship her relatives, so that they could have a good New Year, and by the way, tell them that they were living well in the Wang family, so that they could rest assured.
Su Xiaomei originally said that she was leaving, but Wang Ya tried her best to stay, and said: "Teacher, don't go, teacher, if you leave, no one will teach me piano, chess, calligraphy and painting!" "That's too false.
Even if she was as serious as Su Xiaomei, she couldn't help but collapse, smiled, pointed Wang Ya's forehead with her finger, and said, "Miss, don't talk nonsense, the teacher is not going on a long trip, it's just a few days, and the teacher can see it, you are very happy!" ”
Isn't Wang Ya just very happy, no one cares about herself anymore, and those annoying piano, chess, calligraphy and painting don't need to be learned, wow, haha, I'm liberated, the smile on the corner of my mouth can't be suppressed at all, but Wang Ya tried her best to sip, pretending to be very calm, and said with some anger: "Teacher, don't say that, am I such a conscienceless person?" I'm actually very sad and sad that the teacher is going to leave me for so many days, and he doesn't want me anymore! Saying that, Wang Ya became serious and said: "Teacher, in fact, I can support you for a lifetime, really, you don't have to worry about being lonely in the future!" If it was before, Wang Ya couldn't say such a thing, but during this time with Su Xiaomei, Wang Ya really regarded Su Xiaomei as a teacher in her heart, Su Xiaomei's ability, even Wang Ya was amazed when she heard it. Wang Ya admired it very much, and Su Xiaomei's life was not smooth, so Wang Ya couldn't help but sympathize with Su Xiaomei, and Su Xiaomei is indeed a person worthy of admiration.
When Su Xiaomei heard this, she felt sorry in her heart, although since she taught Wang Ya, she has seen that Wang Ya has a lot of shortcomings, such as always liking to get something for nothing. For example, every day I always wake up and fantasize that I had an adventure last night, and then suddenly become a master of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting (look at these shameful things Wang Ya did!). As a result, there is no need to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting anymore. Or always ask yourself if there are any shortcuts, if there are any tricks that you haven't taught her. Otherwise. Why do you think that every time you finish learning, you think you are amazing, but there is always new content? Or, always going backwards without fighting, it's like not fighting for three days. The owner of the roof is always lazy and passive, and no one can watch it. It's still a very lazy girl, look at other girls, every day I think about helping my family share their worries, but when I get to Wang Ya, it doesn't work at all, and the thing I think about every day is how to let others help me do more things, so that I can be a rice worm, eat and wait for death.
If she hadn't been hired by the Wang family and promised Mama Rong, she wouldn't have wanted to recognize such an apprentice, it's really, it's too embarrassing? With such an apprentice, Su Xiaomei has a hunch that her reputation will be lost for a few lifetimes. I have never seen such a lazy girl, the Lord who can sit and never stand, who can lie down and never sit!
Also, Wang Ya is not rough, her movements and manners are rude, she likes to speak loudly, and she has a strange strength, she doesn't look like a normal girl at all. Of course, if the ring ruler is knocked down, Wang Ya will immediately become like a qualified lady, and the speed of changing her face is beyond Su Xiaomei's ability to bear, every time she looks at Wang Ya like this, Su Xiaomei can't help but twitch the corners of her eyes.
Su Xiaomei has never seen a lady who has become so fast, and Wang Ya has been in contact for more than a month, it is simply to overturn all her previous cognition, in Su Xiaomei's eyes, the real ladies are gentle and kind, smart and sensible, can help the family share affairs, filial piety, and self-motivation, and then proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, from time to time self-cultivation to play a while, and then, when eating, like a bird's stomach, delicately can't eat a few bites, and then softly tell everyone that she has eaten enough, Then maintain a good figure, when there is nothing to do, do needlework, do some needlework for your parents to show filial piety, and then a soft and boneless, weak body.
Look at it again, Wang Ya, that's just miserable, if you take the real lady show, Wang Ya is a disqualified, that is the negative teaching material of the typical lady show, I won't talk about the above before, just talk about the problem of eating, and the strength, three meals a day, the meal is not pulled, sometimes you have to add a snack or something, every time you don't get a meal, you shout hungry, at least three bowls of rice for a meal, five bowls of porridge in the morning, that meal is enough for yourself for three days, and that strength, Su Xiaomei once watched Wang Ya inadvertently crush the brush one by one, it was really broken, not broken, you read it right, is this the strength that everyone should have? Apparently not. There is also that small body, in fact, if you compare Wang Ya's appetite, the small body is actually quite small, but, dear, have you ever seen a round figure? In fact, in this era of thinness as beauty, Wang Ya's figure belongs to the normal standard healthy figure, of course, Wang Ya is only nine years old after all, a little more baby fat, naturally a little fatter.
Wang Ya has all this, in Su Xiaomei's opinion, there is no qualified place, speaking of Wang Ya's shortcomings, Su Xiaomei can really talk endlessly.
However, despite Wang Ya's shortcomings, Su Xiaomei still endured it, without him, one is that Wang Ya's talent is indeed good, which is manifested in memory, what she said, at most two times to remember, if you really learn, it is also very attentive, the degree of concentration is a normal child can not compare, moreover, Wang Ya's understanding is also high, if there is something you don't understand, at most you only need to say it twice, Wang Ya can understand, and quickly get started, compared to teaching other children, a lot of worry.
Of course, Wang Ya's intelligence is also shown on the other side, so that Su Xiaomei can't help twitching the corners of her mouth, that is, Wang Ya is fast, which leads to her being able to pretend, when Mama Rong taught Wang Ya etiquette, Su Xiaomei has also seen it, it is better than her own, and even she has to learn like Mama Rong, Wang Ya is also very fast, if you want to let you do a day's work according to everyone's beautiful style, Wang Ya can also do it, and she does it very well, I don't know how to do it, I definitely think this is a qualified lady, as long as Wang Ya is serious, Not to mention outsiders, even she and Mama Rong can't find anything wrong!
However, don't let Wang Ya relax, when there are no outsiders, Wang Ya begins to pay attention to behavior, the action is called a rudeness, and the behavior is called an unsightly behavior, just take the smile as an example, everyone is smiling without showing teeth, Wang Ya, laughing is called a sunny ah, Su Xiaomei wants to admit that such a smile is indeed very infectious, and people can't help but laugh, and the mood becomes better, but it is not a lady at all, there is wood?
Then, although Wang Ya was lazy and had no filial piety to her parents, Su Xiaomei knew that Wang Ya was just not used to showing it, although it was indeed very lazy and lazy, but what she should do was not ambiguous at all, and even her approach was better, not to teach people to fish but to teach people to fish, and very kind, the Wang family adopted those orphans, Su Xiaomei also heard that it is really rare for a kind-hearted family like Wang Ya to be like the Wang family, It's just that other people's kindness is manifested on the outside, but Wang Ya is shown in the heart, and she disdains to use such means to get praise from others.
This is also the reason why Su Xiaomei endured it, although Wang Ya has all kinds of shortcomings, but her advantages can cover all her shortcomings, so that Su Xiaomei finally endured the humiliation and recognized this apprentice, seeing Wang Ya saying that she would support herself for a lifetime, Su Xiaomei believed that what Wang Ya said was true, and couldn't help touching Wang Ya's head and said with a smile; "Miss, the teacher believes in you!" After saying this, Su Xiaomei, who was already very blunt, suddenly felt that this was too sensational, so she changed her voice and said: "However, even if this is the case, it is useless for you to bribe me, Miss, the study plan has been placed in the study, Miss can't slack off because of the New Year, and can't slack off because the teacher is not there, the teacher will check when he comes back, if there is something that is not done well, the teacher will be punished!" ”
As soon as Wang Ya heard this, the atmosphere that had been maintained suddenly disappeared, and Wang Ya couldn't help but wail: "Teacher, don't, it's hard for people to take a few days off!" ”
Wang Ya couldn't help but be coquettish to Su Xiaomei, just to see if Su Xiaomei could give some reductions, but Su Xiaomei was hard-hearted and left without looking back, and when Wang Ya saw the study plan, she finally missed Su Xiaomei from the bottom of her heart, mainly because when Su Xiaomei was there, she didn't assign so much homework, didn't you want Wang Ya's old life! Wang Ya only looks forward to Su Xiaomei this time, just don't come back so soon, otherwise, she will be unlucky!
However, Wang Ya insisted on doing her homework early and late, it was better to do it early, but she worked hard every day, or practiced the piano desperately, fortunately, in the past few days, Mama Rong was busy helping Wang prepare New Year's gifts for various mansions, and she couldn't take care of Wang Ya for a while, but let Wang Ya quickly complete the task of Su Xiaomei's plan, and the content of ten days made Wang Ya rush to work, but it took three days.
Wang Ya was completely relaxed at this time, at this time, it was also time for the New Year, on the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Wang family made several tables full of dishes, the next people unified a table, Mother Rong, Xiaoqing and Wang Sheng gave them a table, those new children, were also divided into two tables, everyone sat together, ate and drank, so happy.
The meals on the table are also very rich, chicken, duck and fish, because there are many people this year, and there are many people who help at the same time, so the Wang family is not busy preparing these things. (To be continued......)
