There is a prodigy, five years old enlightened, nine years old child, ten years old Xiucai, nineteen years old, twenty-five years old in the palace examination two A and two, the museum selected as a Shu Jishi.

He could have been lifted earlier, but at the age of fifteen, his father died violently. He received news on the way to the township test, and despite the persuasion of everyone, he resolutely returned home and kept filial piety for his father for three years.

After the museum was disbanded, he had to be awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing. Seeing that the future was bright, his mother unfortunately died of illness, and immediately returned to his hometown to keep filial piety for three years.

This has been the case to this day.

His name is Yan Song, a great filial son, and a great traitor!

A few months ago, Yan Song's filial piety expired and was invited by the prefect of Yuanzhou to compile the government chronicles. Not long after, the prefect left office, and Yan Song also lost his job.

Yan Song thought to himself, Lao Tzu is the editor of the Hanlin Academy, since the court has forgotten me, I have to go to the Ministry of Officials to report it.

So, after many years, Yan Song came to Beijing again.

Yan Song's family is poor, and it would be good to be able to make up enough money for the journey, so naturally he can't afford to live in a high-end restaurant. Staying overnight in a hotel outside the city, Yan Song got up early the next day, bought a steamed bun and went straight to the household.

Fortunately, the certificate of his Hanlin Academy is still there, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to enter the Chang'an Gate, let alone report to the Ministry of Officials.

The officials received Yan Song according to the rules, but that's all, make a record of the expiration of the Ding worry period for him, and let Yan Song go back and wait for the arrangement.

Yan Song wanted to visit his master again, but as soon as he inquired in the household department, Zhang Yuanzhen, the master had already died of illness.

That year's deputy chief examiner Yang Tinghe mixed quite well, but after Yan Song handed over the famous thorn, he couldn't even enter the door of the Yang family.

Yan Song turned to inquire about the whereabouts of his house master, and it was unfortunate that his house master was an official in another place.

What to do?

There's not much coiling on your body!

Since it is edited by the Hanlin Academy, it can definitely be reinstated. But there is no one in the court, and I don't know when I can be turned over, if I stay in the capital and wait, it is estimated that I will starve to death before I can be reinstated.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! Acta Physica Sinica! ”

"The champion Wang Erlang is the president, and the list of eyes and flowers is published!"

"The Longevity Festival is approaching, Your Majesty has given one hundred and twenty-seven righteous sons surnamed Zhu!"

"Yesterday's Keju League, Yongan team vs. Zhangjia team, who wins and who loses to buy the newspaper can be known!"

“……”

A child ran towards Yan Song, shouting something he didn't understand.

Yan Song beckoned and asked, "What are you selling?" ”

The boy raised the newspaper in his hand: "Physics Newspaper, do you want to buy a copy?" ”

"How much?" Yan Song asked.

The boy said, "It's not expensive, it's only three cents a piece." ”

Three cents is 0.3 dollars of silver, according to the advantages and disadvantages of copper coins, it is probably between dozens of dollars and hundreds of dollars, and Yan Song can still take out this small money.

Spreading out the newspaper, the quality of the printing made Yan Song frown, and he remembered the inferior engraved books he bought when his young family was poor.

At the masthead is the four big characters of "Physics News", which was written by Emperor Zhu Houzhao in the imperial pen.

The eyebrow is printed with the year, month and day, which was freshly released yesterday, and there are also words such as "the first issue of the first issue of the Journal of Physics".

Below the masthead is Zhu Xi's famous quote: "The extremes of physics are everywhere, and the knowledge of my heart is endless." ”

"What a big breath!" Yan Song couldn't help but sneer.

The first article was the founding message, written by Wang Yuan himself, explaining the purpose of running his newspaper, the pursuit of the school of physics, and so on.

The first two news sections are similar to the Imperial Court Newspaper, and Yan Song can take the opportunity to understand the current situation.

This is followed by Yang Shen's prose, Yu Ben's prose, and poems by Chang Lun, Jin Wei, Xi Yan and others. After that, there is a serialization called "A Chinese Ghost Story", the author column is: Oral narration of the King of Montenegro, compiled by the bright layman.

Yan Song actually watched it with relish, saying that in the chaotic times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a scholar named Ning Caichen who tried and failed. Both parents were forced to death by Hao, and they could only take refuge in the quasi-father-in-law who had set up a baby, and the beginning showed a picture of troubled times, Mengyuan officials were corrupt, wealthy businessmen and inferior gentry were in the fish and meat country, thieves and bandits were rampant, and Ning Caichen was in danger along the way.

finally came to the prospective father-in-law's house, but was sent dozens of copper coins, and then blasted out the door.

Divorce flow, never go out of style!

At least for Yan Song, he has a sense of substitution, seeing this, he is already angry for Ning Caichen, and only hopes that the protagonist will be able to hit his father-in-law in the face.

Unfortunately, no.

The serialization was blasted out of the door, and it came to an abrupt end, and there was a "I want to know what happened next, and listen to the next decomposition".

"It's really appetizing." Yan Song was quite depressed.

Looking at the back, there are a few humorous stories that can barely make people laugh out loud.

Yan Song couldn't understand the rest of the content, what is the improved version of the Tessie number, what is the physical routine experiment. Yan Song knew at a glance that the chopsticks used the principle of levers, and the principle of levers was also used to beat well water and return to the gun.

Seeing noon, Yan Song came to a small restaurant to eat noodles.

There were three scholars sitting beside him, who were also eating there. Judging by what he is wearing, he is not a rich child, a bit like a scholar from an ordinary family in the suburbs of Beijing.

"Wang Erlang's journal is doing well, but the physics behind it is too redundant."

"Yang Xiu's (Yang Shen)'s loose songs are wonderful, and his talent is amazing!"

"My favorite is A Chinese Ghost Story. Poor Ning Caichen is a scholar, his family is in the middle of the road, his parents were killed by Haoqiang, and he finally defected to his father-in-law after all kinds of hardships. The father-in-law was incorruptible and shameless, and he actually blasted his son-in-law out of the door! ”

"What's more, he also sent Ning Caichen dozens of dollars, and it was the worst iron money. How can my generation of scholars accept such food? ”

But Ning Caichen did not throw it away, but gave the money to the lame beggar on the side of the road. From this, it can be seen that Ning Caichen is not pedantic, but kind-hearted, and can be called a gentleman, but he is actually a man of my generation. ”

"You say, why is this called "A Chinese Ghost Story"? Is it a ghost story? ”

"Haha, it may still be the story of a beautiful female ghost. Ning Caichen must have encountered a beautiful female ghost, learned clever spells, and helped the weak in the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. ”

"No, I think it's Ning Caichen who has a female ghost to help, a champion in high school, and returns to his hometown in fine clothes, which makes his father-in-law so ashamed that he doesn't dare to see anyone."

"What is the use of the champion of the Yuan Dynasty? It's better to practice spells. ”

“……”

These scholars actually argued on the spot, and Yan Song secretly laughed when they heard it.

After eating a bowl of noodles, Yan Song went over and said, "A few friends are polite, contemptible Yan Song, the word is only in the middle." ”

After the scholars stood up and saluted and exchanged names, someone asked, "What year did Friend Yan go to school?" ”

Yan Song did not answer this question, but said: "Hongzhi eighteenth year Jinshi. ”

Those scholars suddenly stood in awe: "It turns out that the predecessors have official status, disrespect, disrespect!" ”

Yan Song smiled: "Don't be formal, I don't have an official position at this time." As soon as he was awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing, he returned to his hometown to worry about it until now. ”

God Hanlin Academy editing, those scholars were dumbfounded!

Even if he is hired as a Shujishi, he may not be able to do the editing of the Hanlin Academy, and Yan Song's background is too big.

Yan Song asked: "When I first returned to the capital, I heard many people mention Wang Erlang along the way, but last year's champion Wang Ruoxu?" ”

"He is a bachelor of king," said the scholars, "and he is both civil and military, and is widely loved by the people." I am a student of Benliangxiang County, and I was recommended by my teacher to study in Shuntianfu. If it weren't for Master Wang to take the lead and defeat the outnumbered, my hometown county would have been attacked by thieves. Bachelor Wang has the grace of life for the people of my good township! ”

"I see." Yan Song nodded.

Another scholar said: "Not only Liangxiang County, but also the people of the entire capital, who doesn't know Wang Erlang?" is a ruffian, and Wang Erlang is also respected. ”

Yan Song returned to his hometown and was worried, and he had been studying hard behind closed doors, and he really didn't know what was happening outside. He asked, "Wang Zhuangyuan took the palace examination last year, why was he awarded a bachelor's degree this year?" ”

Those scholars laughed: "With the merits of Bachelor Wang, if it weren't for the fact that the promotion of the Hanlin Academy couldn't be too fast, I'm afraid he would have already served as a waiter." ”

"Your Majesty trusts Bachelor Wang very much, and the house of the thief Liu Jin has been given to Bachelor Wang." Another gentleman said.

The officials of the Ministry of Officials will not talk nonsense, and Yan Song can learn more about the situation in the capital through these scholars.

It turned out that the emperor's most favored military officer was Jiang Bin, and the most favored civil official was Wang Yuan.

Since you can't see the majestic Yang Tinghe, why don't you visit Wang Erlang?

But Yan Song couldn't pull his face a little, after all, Wang Yuan was two Jinshi later than him, so he was really embarrassed to stammer.

Yan Song in his youth was hot-blooded, upright, and thin-skinned, and he was not the unscrupulous traitor in his later years.

Yan Song lay in the hotel, tossing and turning all night, always feeling that it was quite shameful to cling to the "juniors".

After a few days, it was almost enough to go home, and Yan Song finally went to the palace in the west of the city. He still doesn't want to talk to anyone, and he makes up his mind to talk about his peers, be polite and courteous, neither humble nor arrogant. If you can talk, you will be friends with Wang Yuan, and if you can't talk, you will immediately go back to your hometown to study.
