Jing Chun, think about it or not? He Shi smiled and said: "The opportunity is later, then we can only wait for a few more years." /.ＱВ⑤、CǒМ/.***”

In recent years, with the gradual increase in the number of admitted scholars, the number of officials has increased exponentially year by year, and the emperor and the imperial court members are also aware of the hidden dangers of redundant officials, and they do not dare to frequently open courses to take scholars.

In fact, He Shi also has his own plans, originally worried that Chu Zhen would show his talent in the examination, he would not want to forge ahead, after thinking about it, he wanted Chu Zhen to participate in the tribute examination to see the difficulty of the imperial examination, but he didn't expect Chu Zhen to wake up so quickly, He Shi gave up his original plan, but now he is firm in his beliefs, since Chu Zhen feels that the imperial examination is difficult, then let him see it.

According to He She's thoughts, anyway, he participated in the tribute examination through a special way, and he participated in it with a knowing mentality, failure is a matter of course, and there is no need to feel ashamed, after more experience, he is no longer afraid, and he is not worried that Chu Zhen's confidence will be hit because of this, and he will not be able to pluck from then on.

How many years later? To tell the truth, Chu Zhen has already planned his future path, before the age of thirty, strive to be admitted to the Jinshi, for one term as an official, after the age of thirty, has not achieved this goal, then participate in the simple imperial examination, such as the Ming Calculation and the Ming Scripture, or simply change careers to become a big businessman, then Gao Shilin should already be a relative of the emperor, want to come to his friendship with him, with his protection, plus his own vision, the business will be extremely prosperous, maybe he will become a rich and rival the giant, but this is only the last choice, Although the Song Dynasty did not suppress commerce, and the social status of merchants was not so low, their reputation and treatment were not very good, and they could not be compared with officials.

"Teacher, what do you think the students should be?" After thinking about it for a while, Chu Zhen couldn't make up his mind, but he was a little moved, this is a tribute test, if his character suddenly exploded, his fortune was in charge, and he accidentally won the Jinshi, wouldn't it be more than ten years of struggle.

"The old man's intention is naturally to hope that you can participate." He Shi chuckled and said, in order to cultivate Chu Zhi into a talent, he took great pains to make an exception and ask for friends and relationships to get this letter of recommendation.

"Then the student obeys the teacher's instructions." Chu Zhen nodded and agreed, and carefully put the recommendation letter into his arms, it was just a tribute test, and participating in it would not lose a piece of meat for himself, but he could give himself a psychological preparation, just as he felt the hardships of the Jinshi exam in advance.

With the decision, Chu Zhen didn't say much about this matter, and He Shi also took the opportunity to encourage a few words, but secretly thought in his heart how to guide him to work hard and study hard after Chu Zhen fell off the list.

In the next few days, the teachings of the White Bird Academy ordered Dezhong Xiucai to return to the academy to study according to He She's instructions, and he must not be absent without reason, and the violators will be severely punished, with this shield, Chu Zhen can justifiably push the invitations to various banquets, although so, but Chu Zhen did not relax on this, but studied seriously in the academy, since he decided to participate in the tribute examination, even if he knew that the hope was not big, but Chu Zhen also wanted to try it, the result is not important, the important thing is to accumulate experience in this exam, in order to prepare for the future.

"Jing Chun." Gao Shilin said hello. Looking at the bookcase holding the book tirelessly. There was a hint of admiration in his eyes. I was secretly impressed in my heart. No wonder people can become the head of the show. When someone else gets a show. When the excitement is slack. People are still studying seriously. Compare yourself. Gao Shilin felt ashamed. Bite one's tongue.

"Caiqing. Say what's the matter? Sensing that Gao Shilin seemed to have something to say to himself. Chu Zhen put down the book in his hand. Said with a smile.

"It's not a big deal." Gao Shilin groaned. Under the urging of Chu Zhi's questioning gaze. Only then did he say, "My brother-in-law wants to invite you to his mansion as a guest." I wonder if you're available? ”

I saw with my own eyes that Chu Zhen used the regulations of the academy as an excuse. I pushed down a lot of invitations. Although he knew that Chu Zhen would definitely give himself a face. However, Gao Shilin was still a little apprehensive.

"Of course there is no problem." Chu Zhen did not hesitate at all. Immediately agreed. If it is Gao Shilin's treat. Chu Zhen will also push it. But I heard that it was Zhao Zongshi who invited him. Who would dare not give the ground to the emperor in the future.

"Then it's settled." Gao Shilinjun's face flashed with joy. Explained: "Jing Chun. My brother-in-law invited you to the banquet this time. In addition to congratulating you on your high school case. It also means to apologize for the rude thing when we met last time. I hope you don't get to blame. ”

Gao Shilin was also a little embarrassed, after all, he was entertaining guests in his own house last time, but the banquet had not yet come to fruition, but he was disturbed by his sister Gao Taotao, although Chu Zhen didn't care, but Gao Shilin was a little mindful in his heart, and now he heard that Zhao Zongshi was going to set up a banquet to entertain Chu Zhen and apologize, Gao Shilin was naturally very happy.

"Caiqing, aren't you seeing the outside world when you say this, will I still keep some small things in mind?" Chu Zhen pretended to be displeased and said, and then smiled: "I often hear that the thirteenth prince of the king of Runan is talented, especially

Home, I have learned a good word, and now I have the opportunity to see it

"Naturally, there are opportunities." Gao Shilin said with a smile: "Who in Bianliang City doesn't know that Jingchun's calligraphy is unique, and it has become a family of its own, and my brother-in-law has admired it for a long time. ”

"I don't dare to learn, but I really learn." Chu Zhen naturally has to adapt to show modesty.

Runan Wangfu is built next to the middle section of the Bianhe River in Bianliang City, covering an area of natural vastness, the pavilions and pavilions in the palace are luxurious and elegant, the green leaves are shady, the rockery is flowing water, just like the fairyland on earth.

"Wenyu, the palace is not as good as him, although there is a talented Qing by his side, but he must be careful in his words and deeds." Jumping down from the carriage, Chu Zhen said softly.

"Second brother, don't worry, I naturally understand." Chu Jue nodded slightly.

"But don't be nervous, just just do it as usual.

Chu Zhi admonished, seemingly a little uneasy.

"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Chu Jue's eyes blinked lightly, and he said with some confusion: "It's very different from your usual performance. ”

"Well, no matter how you say it, I want to meet with the nobles, and I am inevitably a little apprehensive." Chu Zhen whispered to himself, Chu Jue vaguely heard it, and was about to ask clearly, but found that Gao Shilin greeted him.

"You're here." Obviously, he intended to wait outside, otherwise he would not have received the news so quickly and came out to greet him, and said a few words at will, Gao Shilin smiled enthusiastically: "Come in with me." ”

The gate of the palace is naturally the extreme of majesty and luxury, the stone lions in front of the door sit awe-inspiring on both sides, the copper nails of the Zhumen are shining brightly, and the lacquered gold characters hanging on the lintel set off each other, dazzling and dazzling.

The middle door of the palace will naturally not be opened so easily, under the leadership of Gao Shilin, Chu Zhen and Chu Jue do not need to go through the guards' interrogation and inspection, they enter directly through the side door, as the saying goes, once you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, and the palace is not to mention, after a few corridors and courtyard thresholds, I don't know how many times I turned, and finally came to an elegant attic.

"Brother-in-law, Jing Chun, they've arrived." Before entering the attic, Gao Shilin had already raised his voice and shouted.

"A few sons, please." As soon as the voice fell, a few pretty maids came out of the attic, and their bodies were gentle and slightly saluted, and a burst of fragrant wind was heard.

"It's a pleasure to have friends from afar." A moment later, Zhao Zongshi's handsome and extraordinary face was revealed in front of the attic door, with a warm smile on his face, and his gentle and elegant atmosphere was revealed.

"I've seen the prince." Chu Zhen and Chu Jue bowed their hands and said, at this time, Zhao Zongshi had not yet been crowned king, nor did he continue the title of his father King Runan, even if Zhao Yun, the king of Runan, let the other heirs already have titles, Zhao Zongshi, who is the son-in-law, still did not get the title of Song Renzong, the actual reason is really intriguing.

"No need to be polite." Zhao Zongshi smiled slightly, and after returning the salute, he invited the two of them into the attic hall, and waited for the maid to serve the tea, and then waved back to the left and right who were serving beside him.

"Jing Chun, Wen Yu, sit down and talk." There were only a few people left in the hall, and Zhao Zongshi seemed to be a little relaxed and casual.

In the Song Dynasty, as long as it was not a pilgrimage in the Jinluan Palace, when meeting with the emperor, there was no need to bow down at all, and it was normal to sit opposite each other.

After chatting casually, the atmosphere eased, Zhao Zongshi showed a smile, got up and arched his hand slightly, and said softly: "Two, when we met last time, there was a slight misunderstanding and faux pas, please bear with me." ”

"Don't dare." Chu Zhen hurriedly got up and saluted: "The prince is serious, besides, the responsibility for that matter is not actually in Caiqing, the idea is mine, and the prince is not wrong to blame, it should be me who wants to apologize." ”

Zhao Zongshi smiled freely, thinking that Chu Zhen had a deep friendship with Gao Shilin, so he covered it up and didn't believe it at all.

"Okay, there is no need to take such a trivial matter seriously." Gao Shilin waved his hand and said with a big grin: "Don't you admire each other's talent to learn calligraphy, why don't you take this opportunity to learn from each other." ”

"Caiqing has a point." Zhao Guoshi agreed, didn't dwell on it any longer, chuckled, and then talked about the elegance of the stroke and the snow moon in the poems and songs.

In He Shefu, communicating with the ministers of the imperial court, often have to face this situation, when responding to Zhao Zongshi, Chu Zhen naturally behaved freely, advanced and retreated in a certain degree, without the slightest timidity, and Chu Jue did not attend the officialdom with Chu Luo on weekdays, and he was not clear about what Zhao Zongshi thought was at all, so there was naturally no pressure in his heart, although he was a little silent and said little, but he spoke clearly and reasonably, leaving a clear impression.

"Jing Chun, what do you think of my Great Song Guoyun?" Suddenly, Zhao Zongshi said softly, asking a question that had nothing to do with the topic just now.
