Chapter 9 Two Little Guesses

"Shen Shixing has come over today......"

Shen Shixing and Zhang Siwei both worked in the Hanlin Academy, but Shen Shixing's family room was better, and he had always been close to people, so now he has entered the palace as the left concubine and is in charge of the Hanlin Academy.

asked about Shen Shixing like this, but because he hadn't seen him for a while, he intended to come to talk about it, after all, when he was in Suzhou, Xu Shangzhen also helped him a lot.

This year, Xu Shangzhen sent a scholar to return to his hometown to care for the elderly, the old man has been indisputable with others all his life, so he is also the first assistant throughout his life, and now Shen Shixing is the champion talent, although he is an adopted son, but after all, he has great expectations.

Zhang Siwei paused for a moment before he hurriedly said, "Shi Xing is in the Hanlin Academy today...... The deadline for the examination is getting closer and closer, and he rarely has time to come......"

Shen Wuyan answered, and then didn't ask any more questions, and then the party walked into the Guozi Prison.

The sound of reading in the prison burst into his ears, sweeping through the classrooms, Shen Wuyan couldn't help but show a smile, and said lightly: "I am afraid that the group of people back then are now like officials in the court and serving the country...... As for those teachers, they have all gone back to their hometowns to care for the elderly. ”

Zhang Siwei knew the past of the scholar next to him, so the other party was not too surprised when he talked about it like this, until he stopped in front of the Guozijian teahouse, Shen Wuyan looked back at Zhang Siwei and sighed lightly: "I heard that the current Guozijian sacrificial wine is the old minister Lu Tiaoyang......"

Lu Tiaoyang was the leader of Jiajing for 29 years, and then his parents died one after another, so that he was always worried at home, and he did not return to Beijing to be an official until a few years ago, but now he has also become the priest of the country.

Although his official career is a little bumpy, he is upright and upright, and few people in the court dare to offend.

Shen Wuyan came over today to arrange Shen Tianjun to study in the Guozi Prison, which is indeed not in harmony with the law, if the sacrificial wine is not allowed, it is really a difficult thing to do.

Seeing Shen Wuyan's embarrassed face, Zhang Siwei couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly said curiously: "Could it be that Mr. Shen has a holiday with Master Lu...... Lord Lu is also a loyal and upright minister, and he will definitely not think of personal enmity. ”

Shen Wuyan shook his head, then pointed to Shen Tianjun behind him, and said with a wry smile: "The little girl has also reached the age of studying...... Although both of my husband and I can teach a little bit of it, they are not as good as my husband...... So ......"

Zhang Siwei suddenly understood, just looked at the young Shen Tianjun, and couldn't help but sigh bitterly: "Tianjun, this kid...... It's a little young, otherwise...... It's still up to Lord Lu to decide......"

As they spoke, the two walked into the tearoom.

In the hall, I saw an old man with gray temples turning over the scroll in his hand, explaining to a young man next to him, and he explained it in real detail, and even explained some important points many times.

If he encountered too many difficulties, he could also inspire students to think, and then the two of them solved the problem in conversation, which surprised Shen Wuyan and praised him in his heart.

Since the old man was explaining, Shen Wuyan and the others sat on the chair on the edge of the tea room, and it was not until after the young man left that he got up and bowed to the old man, and said, "I have seen Mr. Lu." ”

The old man nodded slightly and motioned for the two to sit down. Then he glanced at the cheerful boy who was playing with a girl on the side, and hurriedly got up and saluted Zhu Yijun, and said, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhu Yijun's face was a little impatient, but he still broke free from Shen Tianjun's pursuit, and then tidied up his clothes, and when he was calm, he returned the salute to the old man and said, "I've seen Mr. Lu." ”

Seeing that the teenage child in front of him was so lawful, Lu Tiaoyang nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Zhang Siwei and said, "The prince went out of the pavilion to study...... Mr. Bai will be ...... for a while And the deliberations are complicated, whether the prince is willing. ”

It is an extremely important thing to go out of the pavilion to study, which is called the scripture feast, and the scholars of the Hanlin Academy serve as lecturers, or the learned officials lecture on the subset of the scriptures and history.

As for the link of worshipping Mr., it is required by Li Guifei, so that Zhu Yijun can remember every gentleman, which can be regarded as a state of respect for teachers.

Of course, the officials also know in their hearts that the so-called respect for teachers is nothing more than bringing these gentlemen closer to the prince, which is equivalent to making the prince's position more stable.

"The Hanlin Academy has already worshipped, and the Ministry of Rites has also gone around...... But I'm familiar with it, and it probably won't be a problem......"

Regarding the etiquette, Shen Wuyan also knew something about it before, so after seeing Zhu Yijun's sad face, he knew that he was actually unwilling, but since it was requested by Concubine Li, it could not be changed.

So he groaned for a while, and hurriedly quipped: "If you want to say Mr. Bai...... But you should worship me first......"

Zhu Yijun, who was on the side, heard this, and immediately rejoiced, and only said: "Mr. Shen naturally wants to worship...... But I still have to bow down......"

Shen Wuyan turned his head and snorted softly, "Mr. Shen is not dead...... What to worship ......"

Listening to Shen Wuyan's yin and yang strange words, he immediately made Zhu Yijun happy, he hated this complicated etiquette, and at this time, when he heard Shen Wuyan say that he was worshipping the dead, he suddenly felt very happy.

It's just that as soon as Shen Wuyan's words came out, Lu Tiaoyang's face suddenly turned black, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Bai shows the gift of the prince's respect for the teacher...... You are so insulted...... Shen Wuyan, the plaque outside the Guozi Prison has not been taken off yet, why don't you have a long memory? ”

was suddenly reprimanded like this, and before Shen Wuyan could react, Zhang Siwei hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "Mr. Lu...... Mr. Shen was just joking, after all, the prince was also young, and he was tired of these things......"

"It's because of his young age that he shouldn't ......teach him like this," Lu Tiaoyang snorted lightly, and said angrily: "In the past, I have heard of Shen Wuyan's great name, and when he was in Guozijian, he stirred up the smoke and miasma of Guozijian, and made the cholera in the capital's literary world unorthodox...... Yesterday I saw the prisoner reading some of your words in private, which is really vulgar......"

Shen Wuyan just looked at Lu Tiaoyang with a smile, looking like he was humbly asking for advice, until Lu Tiaoyang was out of breath when he finally finished speaking, he said lightly: "Mr. Lu taught ...... lesson."

The other party did not refute himself, which made Lu Tiaoyang a little unexpected, but the anger in his heart still did not subside, and then he sneered: "Yesterday, Shen Shixing came to intercede, saying that he wanted Miss Shen to enter the country to study...... I guess you also informed it. ”

Shen Wuyan was really a little embarrassed to be broken through the back door in front of him, but fortunately, everyone in the room also knew what was going on, so he was not so ashamed.

It's just that there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the matter of going through the back door will be told one day.

So Shen Wuyan hated going to a good school more and more, and couldn't help but secretly scold the old guy hundreds of times in his heart, but on the one hand, he admired him very much, and couldn't help but get up and hug his fist towards Lu Tiaoyang, and said, "Since that's the case...... That is under the farewell ......"

"Wait......" Zhu Yijun, who was sitting on the side, also heard the meaning of this, he was not very old, only a few years old, but he was also young and old, and he was well versed in this matter.

It's just that after all, he still prefers Shen Wuyan, even if he knows that the other party is not good like this, he still says: "It's nothing more than letting the Heavenly Monarch enter the country to study...... Mr. Lu agreed to Mr. Shen. ”

Lu Tiaoyang frowned slightly, slowly got up and saluted Zhu Yijun, and said respectfully: "The prince doesn't know that the state has national laws, and there are regulations in the prison...... Miss Shen is not allowed to study in prison. ”

Being questioned like this, Zhu Yijun was really unhappy, a little annoyed, and said angrily: "If Mr. Lu is not allowed...... Then I won't worship Mr. ”

"This ......" Zhang Siwei suddenly looked sad.

Before Lu Tiaoyang, who was in a dilemma, could speak, Shen Tianjun, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said: "There are regulations in the prison that you can take the exam and enter the prison...... Then please ask Mr. Lu to ask for the question, and I will take the exam. ”

"You're here for the test?" Lu Tiaoyang frowned slightly, and said softly: "The questions of the prison examination are all prepared for Gongsheng Juren...... Those are all hard readers, you ......"

In fact, there are various ways to enter the country's prison, except for those whose parents are officials in the court, they can borrow the grace of their fathers to enter the country to study, or donate money from their families, or they can also enter the country's prison.

It's just that these are not as good as Gongsheng's treatment in prison after all, so Shen Wuyan didn't choose those.

Now Shen Tianjun is coming to the exam, which is indeed beyond his expectations, remembering that he was counting his age just now and breaking his fingers, but now he is coming to the exam, but he is a little worried. Just looked at the girl's resolute gaze, and no longer dissuaded.

Lu Tiaoyang groaned slightly, seeing that the other party was so firm, he had to shake his head and say, "The little girl is also a little courageous...... It's not like your father who still has to look for Shen Shixing...... He Shen Shixing is from the Hanlin Academy, not from our country's sub-prison ......"

……

Guozijian's examination is probably not the purpose of the imperial examination, it is nothing more than a subset of the Eight Strands of Scripture and History.

Shen Wuyan didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns when he came over today, but since he had to take the exam, he would take the exam.

Sitting on a chair outside the garden, looking at the classroom in the distance, but six-year-old Shen Tianjun was holding a pen to look at the sky and the earth from time to time, and never started writing.

So he was a little anxious, but there was no way, but Zhang Siwei on the side quipped: "Mr. Lu probably didn't expect this to happen...... But it's a bit of a hassle. ”

Shen Wuyan sighed lightly and said with a wry smile: "I haven't taught her to pay attention to exams in the past, but today...... But it was a little difficult for her. ”

Zhu Yijun couldn't help but poke his head out to watch, his eyes were full of concern, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "That Song Siqian that Tianjun said...... But I don't know who it is. ”

"Song Siqian......" Shen Wuyan couldn't help but smile bitterly, waved his hand and said, "It's about the same age as you...... is also a child, and now he is studying in Liaodong......"

"Tianjun often mentions him......" Zhu Yijun was obviously a little unhappy and muttered.

Shen Wuyan was stunned and whispered, "Don't worry...... Tianjun has never seen Song Siqian......"

Hearing this, Zhu Yijun was immediately overjoyed, and said loudly: "What Mr. Shen said is true......
