Chapter 11 Time
Of course, Wei Yi's words were pointed, Xu Xingwei looked at Xu Zixian with concern, for a child of a clan with aspirations, it was undoubtedly quite face-saving to be able to register words in an influential newspaper like Weekly.
There are also tangible benefits, celebrities who make a name for themselves in various major newspapers will gain more contacts and the attention of the gentry, appear in various high-level activities, and get the opportunity to integrate into higher-level circles.
Before this, Xu Zixian faced all kinds of pressure, and he wanted to explain to his father, of course, he also wanted to integrate into this kind of circle, but unfortunately he failed.
"I'm not going to write poetry anymore." Xu Zi first made a firm hand gesture and asked Wei Yi and the others, "How have those people in Fucheng been doing recently?" ”
"Shenwei General Liu Zili is going to get married, and after getting married, he will go to serve in front of the Zhangzhou Army, but he doesn't want to go, but the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion can't spare him."
"Xu Gongda, the son of the Marquis of Xinchang, was recently forced by his eldest father to go on blind dates, and he was miserable."
"The Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion caught fire, and the second son, Chen Jingfu, ran to the street in the middle of the night, trembling naked, and was laughed at!"
"Zhao Wangfu is still like that, there are endless guests every day, oh, Xu Ziwei is going to Beijing with Brother Zizhang, he is going to Beijing to be a personal guard."
Xu Xingwei interjected: "The family is the son of King Zhao, and he came up from Qipin Langwei, and he can't envy this." ”
The clan of this dynasty is restricted, but it is also to see the relatives are distant and close, the eldest son of Zhao Wangyan is actually Emperor Chongde today, but since he was a child, he was hugged into the palace, Xu Ziwei was originally the third son, and one of his brothers died early, so he became the eldest son. This is the person who will inherit the throne from the first rank in the future, the clan said that it was a generation to descend to a first-class lord, such as after the previous generation of King Zhao, this generation should have been the prince of the country, but the Zhao Wangfu was developed, Emperor Chengzong had no children, and the eldest son of King Zhao was brought into the palace to raise him, and later became the current Emperor Chongde, of course, King Zhao does not have to be demoted, and then at least two generations of kings can be attacked.
Why, the law of the clan stipulates that those who have great merit will be crowned kings and inherited for three generations.
Zhao Wangfu survived for Emperor Chengzong, that is, it made great contributions to the Great Wei and the clan, not only the current generation and the next generation are princes, but also the next generation, and then the fourth generation will begin to descend.
This method is also quite fair, Xu Xingwei is not saying sour words, but just sighing, after all, he is also a child of the clan, the first generation of ancestors is also a prince, his ancestor was named King Yan at that time, the first generation of kings, the second generation of dukes, the third generation of marquis, can be attacked for the third generation, and then down is to attack the general of Zhengdong, and then the general of Zhenwu, General Yangwei.
By Xu Xingwei's generation, he has become a sect, and there is no hereditary official position.
Xu Zixian raised his glass and said: "We are all husbands, even if we are rich and noble, it is meaningless to look up to our ancestors, and we should ask for wealth at home, I hope that my three brothers can not forget each other, poor and low, rich and noble." ”
Xu Xingwei and Wei Yi were both taken aback, and both of them raised their glasses and drank with Xu Zixian.
Wei Yi said: "I didn't expect to hear Mingda say such things today, it's worthwhile, it's worthwhile." ”
"I still have something to ask Brother Yanke for help." Xu Zixian smiled: "So I have to say a few nice words first, and coax you to say it." ”
Wei Yi laughed and said, "This kind of soup is very beautiful, just pour it if you have nothing to do." ”
Xu Zixian smiled: "How are Xu Gongda and Chen Jingfu?" ”
Wei Yi didn't elaborate, only said: "It's still like that bird, and it hasn't grown much." ”
The elegant collection of Zhao Wangfu, everyone has good and bad friendships, and they have always disliked Xu Zixian, and they are often targeted, that is, Xu Gongda and Chen Jingfu, Wei Yi said this, Xu Zixian understood.
……
In the evening, Xu Zi first set up a banquet in the house to entertain two friends, but this time he asked someone to take a serious rice wine, and the appetizers were stewed mutton, roasted duck with wine and vinegar, boiled razor clams, stewed swallow vegetables, steamed sea fish, and a few seasonal vegetables and vegetables.
Everyone was a gentleman, and they never treated themselves badly in terms of wine and food, but Xu Xingwei and Wei Yi saw that Xu Zixian's solemn hospitality was just these few home-cooked dishes, and the two nodded to each other, knowing that Xu Zixian was really very different from the past, these few months because the two knew that Xu Zixian had hurt face, so it was not easy to visit, but the letters continued, Xu Zixian's letters were more and more exquisite, there were often witty words, the level of writing did not see how to increase, but the magnanimity and mind were completely different from the past - from the current point of view, when it is not their own illusion, It's true that this friend's little brother has benefited.
Everyone in the audience was in a happy mood, and when they were young, they ate a lot of raw food, and they ate the dishes on the table cleanly.
Xiaomei, Xiuniang and the others were eating in another room, and it was not good to be in the same room with these young men.
After dinner, I went back to the study to chat, and when I talked about my future plans, Xu Zixian said: "Next year, I will take care of the family affairs and lay a good foundation. ”
However, the clan does not need to take the martial arts test first, but directly participates in the lock hall test.
There are normal examinations in the imperial examination of the national dynasty, and there is also Enke, which is to give some celebrities or ministers the opportunity to refer to later, Shenwei General Liu Zili is also in his early twenties, and he is also a person who everyone often meets in Fucheng, and the friendship is also gone, this time to serve in front of the Zhangzhou army, and to exterminate bandits, is to Bo a military meritorious background, and when the Enke is opened in the future, when the magistrate recommends it, there will be no rejection of this level of qualifications.
Then there is the lock hall test, which is mainly for the children of the clan, who can be directly admitted to the Jinshi, without showing off their talents, and raising their backgrounds.
This sect is to take a big advantage, as long as you win the jinshi, you can naturally be an official, this dynasty does not study martial arts, and the officials are rich, but it is much better than the treatment of the clan.
Of course, Nan'an Hou Mansion is also rare, one is not prosperous, and secondly, there are only six official villages that were given at the beginning, and the commission is too little, when King Zhao arrived in Fuzhou, there were more than 100 official villages, more than 3,000 households, and there were more than 100,000 yuan in taxes every month, more than one million dollars a year, and there were thousands of free forced labor, and the treatment was not worse than that of Zai.
Xu Xingwei said happily: "This is the best, when the time comes, Mingda, you and Yanke will go to Jingshi together, and the three of my brothers will be in the Jinshi together, wouldn't it be happy." ”
Xu Zixian smiled slightly, he remembered that Wei Yanke was proud of the spring breeze in Fuzhou Weekly and missed reading. Wei Yi seems to be a Jinshi after a few years, and after a few years of being a county magistrate, he was transferred to the magistrate of a county in eastern Zhejiang......
Xu Zixian said: "Of course we must do better in this life, no matter what, the fate of my friends and myself must be changed!" ”
……
In the early morning of the next day, Wei Yi and Xu Xingwei got up to say goodbye, Xu Zi saw off first, this time the little sister came out to see off the guests, Wei Yi and Xu Xingwei praised the little sister, and they were the best of each other, which was due etiquette.
Xu Zixian asked people to bring a handful of oranges, and said with a smile: "This is what I asked someone to buy, Yanke must still go to Zhao Wang's Mansion often, and when he saw Xu Gongda and Chen Jingfu, he said that I bought it for them." ”
Xu Xingwei said: "These people have always been not on good terms with Mingda, why do they want to be like this? ”
"As you get older, you don't have to worry about the past when you were a teenager." Xu Zixian smiled and said: "You have to look forward, if they have malicious intentions, I have my own way to cure them." ”
"Mingda is confident." Wei Yi hurriedly said: "If we are friends, we just need to help, and we don't ask any gossip." ”
The two friends hugged their fists and said goodbye, and rode back to Fucheng together, Xu Zi waved goodbye first, and the little sister was also blessed in the same place.
Xu Zixian said: "Wei Yanke kept grabbing words, and glanced at the little sister from time to time, this guy seems to be the little sister in the picture, well, the difference between the two is about four years old, but it is quite suitable, when people get married, if Wei Yanke is in the future, it will be hateful, it is actually Loli control...... The younger sister was originally married to Chen Jingzhong, the son of the Marquis of Jingyuan, and the two brothers were not in harmony with me and looked down on me, so that the relationship between the husband and wife after the marriage of the younger sister was not harmonious, well, this matter should be avoided in this life. Although his father made a promise when he was alive, as long as he never gave a dowry, he was not engaged, and it was okay to retire. It's just that this matter has to be discussed with the little sister, so don't be idle......"
"Little sister," Xu Zixian smiled, "My two friends are not bad, right?" ”
I thought that the little sister would taunt her, but she didn't like the friends Xu Zi made first, but the little girl smiled and waved her hand, and said: "Go, Brother Yanke and I praised you for a long time this morning, saying that you have really grown up, well, I am very happy." ”
Xu Zixian was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he was a good Wei Yanke, and he actually approached his little sister with the idea of praising me, which was really bold, and one day he would have to punish his crimes...... But don't be busy for the time being, for the sake of him praising himself in front of his little sister, spare it for the time being, and talk about it in the future.
Xu Zixian still went to run and practice archery as usual, which is a lesson that thunder can't move...... Then he changed his robe and went to the study, but he didn't look at the subset of scriptures and history, he wanted to take the Wujinshi test, and Dawei's requirement for Wujinshi was to be able to understand the art of war, and he could answer the right questions about the soldiers' books. It's simple, but in fact, the martial arts exam is not easy, otherwise this dynasty is one civil and military, and the two are equal, so everyone will go to the martial arts exam...... To test the art of war, policy questioning, as well as the march and camp camp, golden drum banner and other details, from the content of the martial arts assessment, there is both a strategic side, there is also a tactical assessment, Xu Zixian also knows that the combat effectiveness of the Wei army is not weak, the general dynasty in the last days, the corruption of officials, the army's combat effectiveness is very normal, such as the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty in history, it is normal for hundreds of thousands of Ming troops to defeat thousands of Jurchen soldiers.
And the equipment, training, morale, and restraint of the generals of the Wei army are not bad, but I don't know why the external performance is not good, this matter must be observed slowly, after all, in the previous life, trapped in Fuzhou, did not enter the circle of power at all, and did not have the opportunity to take charge of the army, but the inside story is unclear to the bystanders......
In addition, Wu Jinshi has to test riding, archery, strength, fighting, civil and military examinations, ordinary people are to go from martial arts to Jinshi, layer by layer, it is not as easy as imagined, and the poor are rich and martial, and the medicinal materials and nutrients needed by the body are not affordable by ordinary people, so from the perspective of the people, Wujinshi is much more difficult than Wenjinshi.
In addition to the military books, there are also miscellaneous studies such as laws and orders, and Xu Zixian also studies them every day.
It's a pity that I didn't study seriously since I was a child, and I didn't realize that there was a teacher at the time, but now I can't hire a real famous teacher to teach.
Before noon, Xu Ming would come in to polish the ink as usual, and then Xu Zi would write a big character for the hour first.
Words have to be practiced every day, the previous Xu Zixian dog, crawling words, it didn't matter at that time, basically the resume or something was printed out, at most you can sign the name of the dragon flying phoenix.
Now it is not good, the calligraphy of the pavilion body must be practiced well, the word is the face of the person, the face is ugly, how can there be a chance to be understood by others......
Before noon, the little sister went to Xu Zixian's study as usual, sat on the side and watched her brother practice calligraphy, drawing one stroke at a time, seriously.
The little sister's face has also become calm and calm, these few months, almost after the death of her father, the girl feels the most at ease of time, if possible, the girl really wants to keep this time, don't rush by.
