In late autumn, it was dark a little early, and it was already a little dark when Zhong Hao woke up. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info raised his eyes and saw Wan'er looking at herself with her big watery eyes, Zhong Hao suddenly felt warm in his heart.
In any case, in this world, there are always people who remember themselves, and they are not alone.
Wan'er saw that Zhong Hao was awake, but she snorted lightly, and said angrily: "Hmph, you are awake, big villain Brother Hao, you don't even say hello when you go out for more than ten days, and you drink all day when you come back!" Hmph, just wait for your mother to clean you up! β
Zhong Hao couldn't help but sit up when he saw Wan'er's cute appearance of anger, scratched her nose dotingly, and smiled: "Brother is wrong, listen to Wan'er in the future, and never drink again!" Oops, my head hurts! Zhong Hao didn't pretend to be it, but he really had a headache, he didn't feel it when he was lying down just now, and he was in a hurry to get up, and he felt a little dizzy.
I'm afraid it's the sequelae of drinking too much at noon today. At noon this afternoon, I was listening to Xiang Xiaolou with Cui Ye and Xu Feng, and I really drank a little too much, and after the Cui family's carriage sent me back, I fell asleep on my head, and this sleep was an afternoon.
Wan'er looked at Zhong Hao covering his head, and couldn't help but snort angrily: "Brother Villain, you deserve a headache, who told you to drink so much wine!" You've been burning all afternoon, huh...... People shouldn't care about you! β
Zhong Hao found that there was a white iron basin filled with water next to the bed, and when he got up, he also dropped a towel on his forehead, no wonder Wan'er was staying by his side, it turned out that she had a fever, and she was applying a towel to cool herself. Zhong Hao's heart couldn't help but feel warmer.
Zhong Hao smiled and said, "Oh, my brother will listen to Wan'er in the future." If Wan'er doesn't let me drink, I won't drink again, I promise! β
Wan'er still said with a straight face: "Hmph, if you get drunk again, I won't care about you, and let yourself die of discomfort!" β
"Don't drink anymore, never drink again!" Zhong Hao covered his head and said. Drinking too much is indeed too uncomfortable.
"Hmph......" Wan'er showed an expression that counted her acquaintance, and she forgave Zhong Hao.
Wan'er went to the front of the table and brought a bowl of soup, handed it to Zhong Hao, and said, "Drink this!" β
Zhong Hao looked at the bowl of red juice, which didn't look very delicious, and couldn't help asking, "What is this?" β
"Hmph, don't drink and pull down! This is the Bazhen decanting soup that people have boiled all afternoon! Saying that, Wan'er made a gesture to leave. Wan'er's temper is very bad today, she is very angry at Zhong Hao's behavior of drinking too much in a row and not caring for her body at all.
"Oh, drink, I'll drink, I didn't say I wouldn't drink!" Zhong Hao hurriedly took it and muttered...... "Hey, it tastes good, sweet and sour." β
Hearing Zhong Hao's praise for being delicious, Wan'er was a little girl after all, so she couldn't help but boast to herself: "This is Bazhen decanting soup, but I boiled it with eight kinds of fruits such as lotus seeds, lilies, orange peels, ginkgo seeds, red dates, green plums, walnuts, and hawthorn for an afternoon, and it took a lot of effort!" β
"Hehe, it's still Wan'er who is good to me, my brother is grateful!"
"It's good to know!"
Zhong Hao drank the sobering soup, found his own Western medicine and took a pill, and by dinner, he felt that his headache was much lighter. Recently, he has been exercising regularly, and in fact, Zhong Hao's body has improved a lot. This time it is estimated that he has been frightened and scared in prison for more than ten days, and it is difficult to sleep and eat, and today he is listening to Xiang Xiaolou chatting with Cui Ye and Xu Feng speculatively, and he has to listen to Ye Yihan's wonderful song, he is too excited, he drinks too much, and under the great sorrow and joy, his body flashes a little.
The dinner was very rich, Zhong Hao hadn't eaten at home for more than ten days, so tonight Xu specially stewed a chicken, steamed a big carp, and made four stir-fried dishes. In the past, when Zhong Hao and the three of them ate, they usually fried two dishes. Obviously, because Zhong Hao hadn't eaten at home for a long time tonight, Feng specially prepared a sumptuous meal.
But Feng Shi has always kept a straight face to Zhong Hao. She has a lot of opinions about Zhong Hao's recent absence from studying at home and going out to fool around: "Da Lang, you work weekdays. But in the past ten days, I haven't been at home, and I've been out for a drink when I come back, which is really unusual! β
"Auntie, forgive me, I will study with peace of mind in the future, and there is one more thing I want to tell my aunt, I have been admitted to Songlin Academy!"
"Ah, really?!" When Xu heard this, Zhong Hao was admitted to Songlin Academy, and he couldn't help but forget to investigate the matter of not being at home for more than ten days.
However, Feng Shi immediately frowned again and said: "No, the examination period of Songlin Academy has long passed, shouldn't you go to Dengzhou to participate in the Wenhui at that time?" "Actually, Feng Shi had a straight face on Zhong Hao just now, and a big reason was because Zhong Hao quietly ran to participate in some literary meeting, and missed the exam of Songlin Academy.
"My aunt doesn't know, I went to Dengzhou to participate in the Wenhui with the third son of the Xu Shan family's family in Songlin Academy, and Xu Shan specially approved that I can take the exam later! I just went to Songlin Academy today to take the exam, and I was specially examined by Xu Shanchang, so I was admitted to Songlin Academy! Tomorrow Xu Sangongzi will come to visit our house, whether I will be admitted to Songlin Academy, my aunt will know when she asks! Zhong Hao said casually.
However, what he said earlier was false, it was true that he was admitted to Songlin Academy, and it was also true that Xu Feng would come to visit tomorrow. Today, Zhong Hao made an appointment with Xu Feng and asked him to come tomorrow to pick out a few antiques and elegant things with him, and Zhong Hao wanted to go to Cui Mansion to thank Cui Lao.
"Ah, really, my aunt has long said that with Da Lang's ability, he will definitely be admitted to Songlin Academy, and sure enough!"
"Brother Hao is the best!" Zhong Hao coaxed Wan'er just now, and Wan'er had already turned her anger into laughter at him.
Feng Shi said happily: "Then when will you enroll?" My aunt will prepare a school bag and stationery for you later. I heard that the students of Songlin Academy are going to live in the academy, and my aunt will prepare a futon for you later. β
"No, aunt, I'm in the hall of spontaneity, and I can go to school. As long as you go to class every Saturday every month! β
"Ah, how can this boneless hall be like this? I have three classes in January, so this hall is too neglected! Xu looked at Zhong Hao with some suspicion.
"My aunt didn't know that the Frank Hall was the highest level of the Songlin Academy, and it was taught by Xu Shanchang himself, and only the most talented students could enter. At this level, students are already very proficient in Jingyi poetry, and they don't need to sit in the hall every day to listen to lectures! β
"Oh, I see!" After listening to Zhong Hao's explanation, Xu was relieved.
Wan'er was afraid that Zhong Hao would go to Songlin Academy just now, and it would be difficult for her to see him, but when she heard Zhong Hao say that he could go to school and see him every day, she was also very happy.
After dinner, Zhong Hao chatted with Feng for a while.
Now that it is late autumn, Xu's fragrant drink business is no longer done, only doing snack business, in addition to soybean milk fritters, but also making soup cakes, stewed and other foods.
Nowadays, many food shops in Qingzhou have soybean milk fritters, but Xu's food shop, as the first food shop to invent soybean milk fritters, is considered by many diners to be the most authentic and authentic, and Xu's food shop is still very good.
β¦β¦
The autumn night was very cold, and Zhong Hao, who was lying on the bed in the east wing, couldn't help but wrap the quilt that covered his body.
After being imprisoned, Zhong Hao deeply discovered the helplessness of a flat-headed ordinary person at this time. In an official-based society, even if you are a rich gentleman and wealthy businessman with a lot of money, you can't bear the toss of a petty official. Only with power can we live a stable life.
Zhong Hao now finds that his idea of getting rich in business and living a good life is a bit naΓ―ve. Although the Great Song Dynasty attached great importance to commerce, this did not prevent bureaucrats at all levels from demanding money from businessmen. Just like the natural residence, just to deal with those officials and splashes who come to "fight the autumn wind" every month, it will cost more than a dozen yuan. If this is a restaurant opened by an official's family, which official or splash dares to go? The point is that there is no power.
Zhong Hao found that Cui Lao's words of persuasion were actually really right. At that time, he relied on a little knowledge of later generations to make a lot of money, and he was still a little complacent, and it seemed a little naΓ―ve to talk about business with Boss Cui.
Zhong Hao felt that if he wanted to live well in the Great Song Dynasty, he must be an official.
However, although Zhong Hao is now in Songlin Academy, he really does not dare to hope for the imperial examination. Although Zhong Hao felt that if he really threw himself down to study hard for ten or eight years, he might not fail the exam, but he really didn't have the heart to study hard.
After all, Zhong Hao is an adult who has experienced all kinds of prosperity and hustle and bustle in his later life, and it is really difficult to calm down and do something that may take ten years and half a year of hard work and may not be successful.
In addition to participating in scientific expeditions, in fact, Da Song has other ways to become a leader.
One is Enyin, but obviously Zhong Hao does not have a father who is a high-ranking official in the Great Song Dynasty, and Enyin is impossible. Of course, Zhong Hao felt that if he really had a high-ranking official as his father in this era, he would also be a ya, so why did he have to struggle, just wait to eat, drink and have fun.
There is also a kind of admission, which is to directly spend money to buy officials. But most of these officials are idle officials and have little power. This kind of official is not regarded as the right path, there is basically no chance of promotion, and once something happens, they are generally the first to take the blame. Many wealthy people donate idle official positions purely for the sake of making their names look better on the family tree or ancestral shrine after death. Zhong Hao felt that this kind of official was obviously not very attractive.
The last one is to recommend, that is, to vote under a certain high-ranking official, make some merits, and wait for the right opportunity to be recommended by the high-ranking official to the imperial court. Officials who work in this way will generally not be rejected by officials who are promoted to the rank of officer. Because of this way, people who become officials generally have real talent and real ability. In this way, he was born as an official, and his promotion is relatively fast, because there is a recommender as the backstage. Of course, the difficulty of becoming an official is no less difficult than that of the imperial examination.
The Great Song Dynasty is full of twenty or thirty high-ranking officials who have the right to recommend. In addition to the recommender, there must also be two high-ranking officials who are the sponsors. If something happens to the people who are being promoted, these three high-ranking officials are jointly and severally responsible. These high-ranking officials, ordinary people basically have little chance to meet. Even if they do, ordinary people may not have the talent or ability to impress them. And it is necessary to make some merits and recommend talents to the imperial court. In short, it is difficult to be recommended as an official.
But Zhong Hao felt that he could try this way of recommendation. Now the rich minister of Qingzhou is a high-ranking official with the right to recommend, and he may be able to copy good words and impress him with poetry. As for the merits, I have potatoes and sweet potatoes, and it will be a great merit to benefit all the people to dedicate these two crops to the imperial court.
Of course, now Zhong Hao is just thinking about it, and this kind of thing can only be done when the potatoes and sweet potatoes are about to be harvested next year. If Fu Xianggong does not see the high yield of these two crops with his own eyes, I am afraid that he will not recommend himself easily.
