"Rotten wood can't be carved!"

"I lack talent, and I'm half-hearted!"

"See for yourself, what bullshit has been written!

"At your level, let alone ten years, even twenty years will not be able to enter the Jinshi list!"

The reprimand had been going on for two quarters of an hour, and Qian Yuan put on an expression of listening to the teachings, muttering in his heart that this old man was in such a good spirit, and he didn't like to be dry!

The next moment, Qian Yuan saw Lu Shude, who was watching the excitement on the side, bringing a cup of tea to his brother......

Last night, Qian Yuan had something in his heart, the three articles and eight shares were all perfunctory, and this morning he tossed for a long time, and it was past noon when Qian Yuan returned to the "prison".

At that time, Lu Shusheng was eating what he thought was okay, but now he thinks it is a pig lunch.

But people are here to study, not to cook for themselves...... But Lu Shusheng, who was in an unhappy mood, immediately found a reason to vent his emotions.

Qian Yuan asked for leave yesterday, but he still brought back three questions, but he was restless and perfunctory last night......

After a tirade of reprimands, Lu Shusheng coldly dropped two words, "Redo!" ”

Lu Shude, who has been in prison since Qian Yuan lived in prison, picked up a piece of paper from the table, "Brother Yuan, there are still three questions today. ”

It's no way, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and Qian Yuan, who was locked in the study, scratched his ears and cheeks, and spent three hours to only do two articles.

However, Qian Yuan didn't just focus on the questions, but went to the kitchen very wisely after completing the two questions.

To eat lightly at night, Qian Yuan boiled a pot of porridge, baked a few scallion pancakes, and then served them with pickles, stir-fried a plate of diced radish, and took a few salted duck eggs brought from home.

I have to admit that Qian Yuan, who went to the sea to do business in his previous life, had a very keen sense of smell, and Lu Shusheng's face was much better than at noon after drinking porridge and eating scallion pancakes.

In the study.

Lu Shusheng carefully reviewed the two eight shares that Qian Yuan did in the afternoon, although he really didn't have any talent in writing, but he was stable according to the rules, if he was lucky, he could even pass the exam, and if he was unlucky, he would be able to grind for a few more years.

"Boss, let's have a cup of tea, this is the Ming Qian Longjing brought today."

Lu Shusheng frowned and looked at Qian Yuan who walked in, "Have you finished all four questions?" ”

"The juniors must work hard, tonight...... Don't sleep! Qian Yuan smiled and took a few steps forward, "It's just that I have something to ask to teach Pingquan Gong." ”

Lu Shusheng noticed the change in Qian Yuan's address to him, and after a moment of silence, he said: "If you only ask about Songjiang, the old man can still answer, if it is the ...... of the court."

"It's just a Huating matter." Qian Yuan's face on the side of the bookcase was reflected in the candlelight, looking cloudy.

"Uncle and the Xu family have a gap?"

Lu Shusheng resisted the urge to roll his eyes and asked you to ask about Huating, but you were asking Qian Zheng and Xu Jie...... Isn't this a matter between the DPRK and China?

"Yesterday, the juniors visited Mr. Gu Dingfang in Shanghai County." Qian Yuan added: "Mr. Gu is good friends with his uncle, but he doesn't seem to have a good impression of the Xu family......

This is the confusion that has been hovering in Qian Yuan's mind yesterday.

Xia Yan has the grace to support Qian Zheng, and Qian Zheng also resolutely wrote for Xia Yan.

Gu Dingfang and Xia Yan became friends, and after Xia Yan was abandoned in the city, he took the risk to collect his body.

And in history, Xia Yan also had the grace of supporting Xu Jie, and the two regarded themselves as teachers and students, and countless books mentioned that Xu Jie's endurance of humiliation and heavy burden to avenge Xia Yan.

That's not right...... Qian Zheng and Gu Dingfang, who are close to Xia Yan, are at odds with Xu Jie, you must know that in addition to their relationship with Xia Yan, these three people are still fellow villagers and should be regarded as the township party.

Qian Yuan thought deeper, Xu Fan is twenty-three years old this year, and he was a classmate only four years ago, and he didn't have much contact with him later, but the two have had disputes more than once or twice over the years, I'm afraid it's not just that the predecessor's mouth is too poisonous, right?

Although he knew that the young man in front of him was thoughtful, Lu Shusheng still couldn't suppress the surprise in his heart, and muttered to himself, "One leaf knows the autumn ......"

"What?"

"It's a long story to talk about." Lu Shusheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Your uncle is a straight-tempered man, and you used to be too, but after a stick was knocked on the head...... There are needles hidden in the cotton, which is unpredictable. ”

Qian Yuan dragged a chair and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and put on a posture of listening to a story, almost taking a handful of melon seeds.

"Your uncle is a Jinshi in the fourteenth year of Jiajing, that year Xia Yan was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the head of the Hanlin Academy, at that time he was quite favored today, the cabinet Li Shi and Zhai Luan occupied his position, and the next year Li Shi died of illness, Xia Yan jumped to the first assistant of the cabinet."

"Xia Guixi's temperament ......" Lu Shusheng sighed: "It was carved out of the same mold as your uncle, and the two of them are also teachers and friends......

After a pause, Lu Shusheng looked at Qian Yuan and asked, "Do you know why your uncle Qian Zheng was praised by Shilin?" ”

"Write a book for Xia Guixi?"

"It's not all." Lu Shusheng said faintly: "He also once shouted for another person. ”

"Who?"

"Nie Shuangjiang, who once served as the prefect of Huating County and the prefect of Suzhou, and is now the official to the Great Sima." Lu Shusheng said softly: "In the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, Nie Shuangjiang, when he was the prefect of Pingyang, was falsely accused of taking bribes, and Xia Guixi put him in prison. ”

Well, don't say that Gu Dingfang is a head iron, and his uncle is also a head iron, no wonder the friendship is so good!

Qian Yuan grinned, "Uncle went to the book to shout injustice for Shuangjiang Gong?" ”

"Yes, Xia Guixi was furious at that time, and there was a lot of discussion in the court." Lu Shusheng stroked his long beard lightly, "Shuangjiang Gong has also been imprisoned for two years because of this. ”

"Two years?" Qian Yuan keenly discovered this key point, "Twenty-eight years of Jiajing? ”

"Yes, that year Xia Guixi Zhishi, but Yan Fenyi rushed to kill him and put him in prison." Lu Shusheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, "The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are mostly silent, but your uncle resolutely went to the book, although he was degraded out of Beijing, but the name of honesty and uprightness spread all over Shilin." ”

After sighing at his uncle's head, Qian Yuan frowned and asked, "What does this have to do with Xu Huating?" ”

"What's the hurry!" Lu Shusheng seemed to be immersed in the past, glared at Qian Yuan, and continued: "Although Guixi was abandoned in the summer of that year, he had several ups and downs, and served as the first assistant of the cabinet for more than ten years, and his henchmen were all over the place. ”

Qian Yuan squinted, mentally comparing this information with the memories of his previous life.

"At that time, Yan Song couldn't cover the sky with one hand, and the cabinet Zhang Zhi and Lu Ben were doing nothing." Lu Shusheng's voice became ethereal, "So, Hua Ting wants to do something." ”

Qian Yuan understood this sentence and asked in a low voice, "When was Huating?" ”

"The secretary of the Ministry of Rites is also in charge of Hanlin affairs."

Qian Yuan nodded, "The Ministry of Rites is often a harbinger of entering the cabinet, but it has this qualification." ”

"Back then, hundreds of officials cried at the door, and how many backbones have been discounted by the court staff today, but even so, Xia Guixi's scattered party henchmen, as well as the officials of the Central Science and Technology Department, admired Qian Zheng." Lu Shusheng snorted, "So, Xu Jie recommended him three times in a row. ”

"But my uncle didn't agree." Qian Yuan reacted quickly, he knew about it, two years ago, it was Sun Chengen, who took over as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who recommended Qian Zheng to recover, the Sun family and the Qian family are in-laws, and this matter has nothing to do with Xu Jie.

"Not bad." Lu Shusheng nodded, "Since then, Yan Song has gradually taken control of the court situation, and now he is covering the sky with one hand, and Xu Huating can only barely support it. ”

"Tell me, how can the relationship between your uncle and Huating be harmonious?"

Qian Yuan sighed, it is true, Xia Yan was abandoned in the city, there was a power vacuum in the court, Xu Jie tried his best to climb up, but his uncle refused to cooperate......

Jiajing has been the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in the twenty-eighth year, but he did not enter the cabinet until the end of the thirtieth year of Jiajing, and it seems that his uncle has caused a lot of trouble to Xu Jie......
