While he was talking to the rain, he saw the main master of the ball coming.

Surrounded by Jiang Feihu and the county lord, an older young man who was not good-looking, but dressed luxuriously, arrived at the center of the concert hall.

Many people have consciously walked over, but there are also most people who have not passed, and it is not a formal occasion now, and there are not so many requirements.

It's like Wang Lanling and Lichun Yushui chatting and dancing, it's just normal social interactions, and if it's too formal in this kind of place, it loses its original taste.

However, there will never be less sycophants at a party like a ball.

Lichun Yushui didn't get up, glanced over there and said: "That's Jiang Zhenhai, after the forty-fifth son of the current saint, the grandsons of the saint are all studying in the academies of various states, and those who have good political achievements will be transferred to Longzhou as officials." ”

Wang Lanling didn't have much interest in this Jiang family and the men and women around him, and it was very boring to see this person and the rest of the people talking beautiful words in the distance.

Fortunately, Jiang Zhenhai didn't talk nonsense all the time, and soon began to dance with his female companion.

Lichun Yushui said happily and nervously: "It's already started!" Let's wait and dance, now is not the time for us to dance. ”

Wang Lanling asked, "When will it be?" ”

Yushui explained: "After asking for three songs, the first song is mainly to cooperate with the emperor and his dance partner, and you can see that the rest of the people are very slow when they dance. ”

Wang Lanling looked at the dance floor in front of him, when Jiang Zhenhai and his fat dance partner were dancing, the handsome men and women around him were trying to make themselves not so glamorous.

Jiang Zhenhai is not very good-looking, and he has nothing to do with handsomeness, maybe he has been smoking, drinking, and playing with women for too long, and he needs to dress up with oily hair and flour to hide the vanity on his face.

As for the obese female companion, the feeling for Wang Lanling is average.

The marriage of the big man is also involuntary......

People's parents pointed to a fat pig with a noble birth, "Marry!" He can only marry.

Of course, the happiness of these superior people does not need to worry about their own inferior people.

Beauty, wisdom, and wealth are not easy to gather together.

"The second song is danced by the emperor and other women, it is estimated that it is the county lord, and then the third is just some people with status to have a good time, and then the atmosphere is relaxed, and there is a lot of freedom when dancing."

Yushui explained the rules of this ball, and when he saw Wang Lanling drinking hot juice, he suddenly remembered that he didn't know his name yet.

"I don't know your name yet?"

Wang Lanling finished drinking the wine in the glass and raised his hand to let the waiter who was in charge of distributing the drinks come over.

The waiters pushed a metal cart with heated porcelain flasks and glasses with juice in them.

After the cart was pushed, Wang Lanling picked up a well-kept juice from a hot water basin placed on the stove.

Yushui is not a clerk, but also an official, and she also took a drink, but it was not a juice, it was a red wine suitable for ladies, the cold kind.

Wang Lanling took a sip of juice and said, "My name is Wang Lanling, a native of Heishui County, Yunzhou. ”

The rain quickly connected the young man in front of him with the person in today's rumors, and said in surprise: "You are Wang Lanling!" ”

Wang Lanling said gently: "Well, it's me." ”

Yushui's understanding of Wang Lanling is mainly reflected in today, today is still the first day of school, Wang Lanling has caused a lot of things within the scope of this school.

"You're amazing, your name was remembered on the first day, and it's still okay."

Yushui doesn't think there are too many things, and he is more envious of Wang Lanling's fame.

Wang Lanling smiled and said quickly: "It's not a good thing, you don't know martial arts, right?" How is PE class conducted? ”

Xiao Wang's dog can't change it...... Dedicated to learning, it is in this kind of place where you should forget to study and relax, and you still remember the physical education class.

Yushui replied: "Physical education class must be done well, men and women are the same, as long as you finish the things asked by the teacher, it is not difficult." ”

A woman needs a good physical fitness to have a baby, plus people in this world are very powerful, so the requirements in physical education class are really not difficult.

It shouldn't be difficult for Wang Lanling, his physical fitness is also no problem, and the question is whether he can endure hardships.

Yushui didn't want to sit here until the end, but there was still a lot of time, so he continued to talk to Wang Lanling.

"There are a lot of students coming in this year, there weren't so many people in the previous two years, so we sat here for a while and left."

Most of the people who come in from the official school are official ladies and sons, which are not the same as those of college students.

Wang Lanling said: "I feel that among the people who came in this time, there are many college students, and the expansion of the official school is a very important opportunity for college students. ”

After hearing Wang Lanling's words, Yushui showed an unhappy expression, not aimed at Wang Lanling.

"Those people are different from us, either they are very arrogant, or they are disgusting, and they have bad intentions, you have to be careful of them."

Wang Lanling was a little confused, "Why do you say that?" ”

Yushui looked at Wang Lanling's puzzled look, and suddenly found that this kind of child who is younger than himself is particularly likable.

Soon Yushui explained: "Those people are not the same as us, and they will all grab our positions in the future!" ”

"Especially some positions in our pen department and the rite department, they can't grab the position of a man, so they will grab the position of our female officer, I haven't graduated for so long, they are the victim!"

Rain hates those college students very much!

Wang Lanling showed a thoughtful look, and it took more than ten seconds to analyze the reason.

Ashamed to say, Wang Lanling finally realized that he was recommended for admission, not admitted.

Relatively speaking, most of the people in this government school come in through the back door.

It's not that you go through the back door, it's that the way you enroll is like this, the young lady of the official family goes to the official school, what's wrong?

The enrollment of these college students is a clear stream of sewage and a violation of the rules.

In the past, this water flow was very small and small, and basically the quota was limited, and most of the people were related households.

These college students are not qualified to compete for official positions with the upper ranks, so in order to appease, the people above also gave some positions to these women.

In fact, some jobs are given to women from men, and the eldest ladies of each family are here for gilding.

Before, even if it was forgotten, the victims were a minority.

Now the emperor has asked the Jiang family from all over the country to recommend talents, and of course these people are given priority to recruit talents from the university to recommend them, but they are just pretending to deal with the tasks assigned by the old emperor.

The old emperor forced these people to recommend talents, and forced these people to discover talents, in order to hope that all talents in the world would be used by their Jiang family.

The essence of the matter is not the way of admission, not the opposition between recommended students and college students, but the fixation and distribution of resources, and at the same time consolidating the status and prestige of the Jiang family in various places.

When there are more students enrolled in the school, the pressure of competition naturally increases, so class antagonism and struggle have already begun.

This time, Wang Lanling's camp is a relational household, the kind that is incapable but related.

The college students who come in are the kind of people who have the ability but don't matter.

The problems of Wang Lanling and the rest of the officials are all minor problems and internal problems.

The problem of college students and government officials is the big problem.

Home and away, relative to the Jiang family and the servants of the Jiang family, those who come in with real skills are descendants.

It's just that most of the Jiang family members are confused now, and they can't find their own position.

"Hey! Why don't you speak? What do you think? Yushui saw that Wang Lanling was stunned, so he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Wang Lanling's eyes.

Wang Lanling has roughly understood his position, and his current position should be on the side of the relational household, and he is also a member of the poor student camp.

Because of his poor study and the fact that he is valued by the emperor, many people are not exclusive to Wang Lanling.

As long as he doesn't continue to stir up the conflict between Shanzhou and Tongzhou, or doesn't continue to be a Knight of Hell, then he has an excellent advantage of integrating into the atmosphere of Tongzhou.

His wife is a meritorious aristocratic system, and his concubine is a high-level intellectual in Longzhou, and she has been valued by the emperor several times, and she also has a certain reputation.

So from the very beginning, places like Tongzhou would not reject Wang Lanling, but would take the initiative to accept him.

Well, you can't be a Knight of Hell anymore, or you'll be treated as a traitor......

After understanding his situation, Wang Lanling stood up and stretched out a hand to Lishui Chunyu.

"It's a long night, so let's dance together and get to know each other better."

Lichun Yushui has been waiting for Wang Lanling to invite her to dance, otherwise why is this person sitting next to him?

After finally waiting for the invitation, Yushui nodded and stood up slowly and gracefully and reservedly, "I'm honored." ”

The two of them soon walked hand in hand to the center and began to dance, slowly swaying to the rhythm of the musicians around them.

Before the end of this ball, many men and women did not have the opportunity to dance, either unwilling to invite others, or no one invited them, and sat on the cold bench for half the night.

Not every official student can get a female companion, and some people who have problems with clothing, appearance, or language will be rejected even if they invite others.

Dancing with this kind of person is very cheap!

I'd rather sit until the end of the meeting than dance with those who are inferior.

***

Wang Lanling and Lichun Yushui danced three songs, and later ate something together to enjoy the snow and chat on the balcony.

Although many people leave together after dancing a dance, not knowing where to continue the aftermath, Wang Lanling does not have that kind of idea.

After feeling that the dance was almost over, Wang Lanling said goodbye to Yushui, and Yushui also went back to the dormitory with his girlfriend.

The prom is not a blind date, there is not so much attention, and it does not mean that dancing together is equivalent to determining the relationship.

Because he drank some wine and went home alone, when Wang Lanling left, Jiang Feihu sent a masked spy to send him back.

This is a guard for the female officials and students who participated in the ball, considering that Wang Lanling offended a lot of people, Jiang Feihu took care of it in order not to cause trouble for himself.

Wang Lanling walked in the snowy night, thinking about the struggle in the academy.

In essence, all discrimination is a practice of self-protection and self-promotion.

The official position is not as simple as a simple job, it is an honor and future, and it is also the product of hard work that the whole family will participate in and work hard.

Once there is no official position, everyone in the entire family will be affected and will decay.

The positions of officials are the head of the department, the county magistrate and the big officials in the city, and the official positions of the officials are the agricultural officials.

Not every official will become an official, only the boss of every department in a small county town is an official in the real sense, and the rest are officials.

The higher the rank, the greater the number of officials, and the greater the number of officials.

Anyone who does not participate in the struggle for promotion and high position is not an official.

Lichun Yushui's father is a farmer and mulberry official, which is definitely not the director of the agriculture and mulberry department, it is estimated that he is the deputy director who works for the director, or the rest of the titles who work in the yamen.

Otherwise, she would directly say that she was the director of the Department of Agriculture and Mulberry.

The competition between female officials and most of the female officials is basically a fixed position, and there is no room for these positions to compete with the rest of the positions.

These positions are a small portion of the cake, most of which have actually been decided a long time ago, and the rest is for a small number of eldest ladies to compete.

Fairness is such a thing, and it still needs to be talked about on the surface.

Even college students, I believe that most people will not have too high expectations of themselves, so the relatively stable part of the job will inevitably attract the attention of most people.

Positions with many women are actually very tempting for those from small families.

Wang Lanling felt that the two parts of the people would be more tolerant, and the upper class would accept the top lower class people, so as to divide the lower class people and make them lose their leaders.

But the essence of the problem can not be solved, in recent years, the imperial court has been reluctant to set up departments, has always been frugal spending, so as long as the official position can not be solved, the essential contradiction will only get bigger and bigger.

This kind of problem is not a problem, there have been such things in all dynasties.

The empire has a good promotion channel and talent selection mechanism, and the officials and students in the school are basically capable people, so there is no talent problem in essence.

Even if there is a problem, it will only accumulate after decades, not now.

How can this be accelerated?

Wang Lanling thought about it, and when he saw it, he went to the door of the dormitory, so he gave up this idea.

It's not easy to get your foot on the gas pedal and accelerate without hurting yourself.

Forget it.

Now that I'm already being watched, if I engage in Hell Knight and sow discord, I will really be focused on rectification.

Under the escort of the secret agent, Wang Lanling arrived at the door of the dormitory smoothly, and when he turned back, he found that the other party had disappeared.
