Chapter 299: The Beginning
Qian Yuan didn't have any expectations for Shu Jishi, he didn't have any interest in entering the Hanlin Academy at all, even if he could pass the exam...... Well, the point is that he can't get into it at all.
The election of officials is not in a hurry, Qian Yuan hopes to see Li Mo and Yan Song fight to the death, and after Xu Jie, he will also intervene.
However, Xu Jie is about to start attacking Yan Song, Qian Yuan can't remember the specific time, but he remembers the names of people, Zou Yinglong, who was kicked twice by himself, and Lin Run, a famous minister who delivered a fatal blow in history, are also Jinshi of this department.
Qian Yuan put down the teacup, picked up the quill pen, and Xiangling, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly studied the ink, and asked with a smile: "Young master, stay in Beijing or go to other places to serve as officials?" ”
"You want to stay in Kyochu?"
"Follow the young master, it doesn't matter where you go."
"Maybe I want to go to Yungui to be a county magistrate, tsk, there is rampant toast, and there are cannibalism, like you, neither of them is enough for one meal."
"The young master is scaring people again!"
Qian Yuan laughed a few words and then pointed to the back room, "Go, young master, I still have something to do." ”
Although it was already March, Qian Yuan still felt too cold, and he was willing to sleep every night until Xiangling warmed the quilt......
Dipping a little ink, Qian Yuan picked up a pen and wrote a few notes on the paper, which is a habit he has maintained until now, first to determine his goals, and then to consider the plan.
When he first entered Beijing, Qian Yuan first wanted to save his life, followed by Hu Zongxian, and then he was admitted to the Jinshi, and he was lucky enough to achieve his goal perfectly.
Now Qian Yuan is thinking about it, first of all, Yuwang will hook up with ...... To be precise, it should be hooked up with Gao Gong, which was originally no problem, my uncle had already hooked up, but unfortunately he married Xu Fu, and this line had to find a way to maintain it.
The second is the election of officials, there is a secretary who looks at himself so unpleasantly, Qian Yuan believes that this guy is very interested in sending himself to Yungui, so drag it out, it's really not a big deal not to elect officials.
And Li Mo may not be able to last long, although history has changed, but the general trajectory has not changed, the more Li Mo dances, the greater the possibility of Yan Song and Xu Jie joining forces.
Again, it is the Shaoxing scholars headed by Xu Wei and Tao Dalin, for various reasons, they are regarded by the outside world as one with Qian Yuan, and even have been called so in the same year, "Suiyuan Shizi".
Qian Yuan believed that at least half of these fifteen people could be useful, which was his confidence after Gao Gong ascended to the throne.
He also wrote seven or eight articles in a row, opening the sea and prohibiting trade, a whip law, getting along with Gao Gong, maintaining contact with Zhang Juzheng, and the relationship with the Xu Mansion and the Yan Mansion, etc., but these are secondary or long-term goals.
Some Qian Yuan has already considered it, but some still need to be reconsidered, and many things are not good to say now, and they need to be revised or even changed at any time according to the changes in the future situation.
Just as he was about to put down the pen, Qian Yuan was stunned, dipped some ink and wrote three words at the front, "marry a wife".
This is Qian Yuan's current fateful matter.
At this time, Ke Qing lifted the curtain, "Young master, second master, second lady is here." ”
Qian Yuan pulled up the paper and stuffed it into his sleeve before he hurried out, "Uncle, uncle, why do you have time to come to Suiyuan tonight?" ”
Qian Zheng's face was not very good-looking, and Lu's face was happy with a smile, "Yuan'er, did your mother reply?" ”
After the trial list, Qian Yuan sent a letter back, wanting his mother and little sister to go to Beijing and get married by himself, so he couldn't be his mother not present.
"Not yet." Qian Yuan frowned slightly, turned his head and ordered, "Keqing, make three cups of tea and go to the study." ”
The three of them sat down in the study, and Lu asked with a smile: "Three days later, I will choose Shu Jishi, how are you preparing?" ”
"Hmph, don't even think about it." Qian Zheng knows the true level of his nephew Jingyi well, and he can be in the Jinshi, which is the great-ancestor Hetan Gong's manifestation!
Lu ignored her husband's frustrated words, and whispered: "The Xu Mansion handed over the message, and I want to catch up with the selection of Jishi." ”
"Huh?" Qian Yuan's eyes narrowed, "Didn't you say that it was good to choose a Jishi?" ”
Lu wanted to say something, but Qian Zheng rushed in front and said: "I have been shirking it before, and I still refuse to explain it, but now it's okay...... The words were handed over there, and the words were quite tough. ”
"It's no wonder that the words are hard, since that time, Yuan'er, you haven't been to Xu's Mansion once, not to mention after the palace test, even after the test list, you haven't been there." Lu Shi paused, leaned forward, and then said: "The selection of Shu Jishi is not only to test the scriptures, but also to look at age, appearance, etc., Xu Ge may be able to ......."
"That's what you intended?" Qian Zheng stared at his nephew suspiciously, he now understands Qian Yuan's style of acting, and he can really do this kind of thing.
"How is that possible?" Qian Yuan denied it, pondered in his heart, maybe Xu Jie sensed something, so he would resolutely hand it over, he didn't think it was Zhang's idea.
Now it's time to make a decision, Qian Yuan suddenly got up and asked Keqing to call someone, and Yang Wen, Zhang San, and Zhou Ze quickly came.
"The plan has been explained before." Qian Yuan walked to the door of the study and whispered, "Let's start, Yang Wen will go first tonight, and the two of you will wait for news." ”
Yang Wen should have given it up, Zhou Ze frowned and wondered in his heart whether the plan was thorough, and Zhang San was about to move...... He was the most restless one, forcibly assigned to the horse steward as his deputy, and was idle all day long.
Looking at the backs of the three of them walking away quickly, Qian Yuan was a little nervous...... Outside Jiading City, Lu Bin was about to be defeated, and after he led his troops out of the city first, this kind of nervousness has been lost for a long time.
Even if it was the township test and the meeting test, even if he was surrounded by Xu Hai in Chongde, even if he was taken away by the Japanese invaders, Qian Yuan did not feel nervous...... But this time, it's not just about Qian Yuan himself.
Back in the study, Qian Yuan licked his lips and drank the remaining tea, took out a few poems that had been prepared a long time ago from the desk and handed them to his uncle.
It was explained clearly in just a few words, and then there was silence in the study, and after a while, Keqing outside heard the sound of slamming the table, and Qian Zheng's angry scolding.
Lu covered his face and turned his head, Qian Zheng stared at his nephew with round eyes, lowered his voice and scolded angrily: "You're not joking?!" ”
"No kidding, really." Qian Yuan took half a step back.
Qian Zheng gasped and was stunned for a while before asking, "When did you know?" ”
"It's been a while......"
"I think I will know soon after we see each other." Qian Zheng snorted, "No wonder you have been lukewarm since you looked at each other, every time you asked, you always pushed the words back, from the trial list all the way to the selection of Ji Shi......"
"Do you know that from Xu Jie's daughter to ...... Becoming a granddaughter, for Xu Fu, this is simply humiliating! ”
"Do you still expect Xu Fan to marry her daughter to you?"
"Even if Xu Fan is willing, Xu Huating will never let go, and the Zhang family hates you even more!"
Qian Zheng scolded until his mouth was dry, took the teacup handed by his wife and drank it, only then did he remember the three of Yang Wen before, "Yuan'er, what do you want to do?" ”
"Married." Qian Yuan spread his hands and looked at the Lu family, "Uncle, you have to help me with this matter, my nephew will not marry her." ”
The Lu family was also speechless, no wonder he didn't have an accurate word before, from an aunt to a niece, this Xu family ...... If the Zhang clan is angry to death, then it will be a big fuss.
Seeing that the Lu family refused to let go, Qian Yuan put the pieces of paper in front of Qian Zheng with a sad face, "Uncle, you also know that the reason why my nephew wants to marry Xu Fu is because of those two residual poems, Luohong is not a ruthless thing, and turning into spring mud is more protective ...... flowers."
"Look at these poems...... Don't let Yi'an Jushi! ”
Saying this, Qian Yuan felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach and wanted to vomit...... Who else uses poetry to use this kind of place in the traverser?!
Qian Zheng looked down carefully, his brows gradually loosened, and only after half a sound did he sigh, "Since three years ago...... You have changed a lot, you are thoughtful, ruthless, long-term, and you must be ready to act. ”
"Don't dare to hide it from my uncle, my nephew did make some preparations."
"Don't you dare to hide it?" Qian Zheng sneered: "Say it." ”
Qian Yuan laughed dryly, "Wait for Yang Wen's news to come, please ask my uncle to visit someone." ”
"Who?"
"Taichang Siqing, the official of Yuwangfu, Henan Xinzheng Gao Suqing."
Qian Zheng fell silent, and after thinking for a long time in his heart, he raised his head and stared at his nephew, with doubts and relief in his eyes.
As early as two months ago, Qian Zheng was extremely dissatisfied with the marriage with the Xu Mansion, and tonight he just used this to vent his anger...... He looked down on Xu Jie, he had long been eyeing the desire behind Gao Gong, he had already hooked up with Gao Gong, and he tried to use Gao Gong to show his ambitions.
And on Chinese New Year's Eve last year, Qian Yuan's analysis was clear, Gao Gong and Xu Jie will have a battle in the future, if the Qian family and Xu Fu marry, how can Qian Zheng face Gao Gong, and how can Gao Gong trust Qian Zheng?
Qian Yuan bluntly asked Qian Zheng to visit Gao Gong, which can only mean that Qian Yuan does not intend to climb Xu Jie after marrying Xu Fu and put aside the line of Gao Gong.
After listening to his nephew explain the plan in detail, Qian Zheng's face looked a little better, and he hesitated and asked in a low voice, "Do you have to marry?" ”
Seeing that Qian Yuan was silent, but his eyes were firm, Qian Zheng sighed and asked again, "Who did Yang Wen go to see?" ”
At this time, Yang Wen, who was walking alone, knocked on the side door of a family in Dongcheng.
The master greeted him with a smile, "Brother Yang, why did you come to the door so late?" ”
"I don't dare to be called a brother of Huang Qianhu." Yang Wen bowed, "I've heard of how many blacksmith shops?" ”
"Five." The master smiled and stretched out a hand, "Don't dare to make too much trouble, the provincial brother nags." ”
"It's good to be careful." Yang Wen took a few steps closer and said in a low voice: "I heard that the Huang family is raising money?" ”
"A few months ago, a flash flood broke out in my hometown and washed away a bridge......," the owner shook his head and sighed: "My brother wants to accumulate virtue and do good, but my identity is ...... There was no silver in his pocket. ”
"Little things, it's all wrapped up in my young master."
There was no joy on the host's face, but full of doubts and suspicions.
"Don't worry, even if it's known, it's not a bad thing, how about going in and talking about it in detail?"
"Okay, please!"
