After sending the idiot away, Wang Qi's face suddenly drooped.

After mentioning the Xingwang Mansion, the "interest" of the Taoist idiot was not concealed at all, and his eyes were full of light. In Wang Qi's view, it was an ambition to cling to the power of the palace.

A concubine who has just returned home, and he is not very old, what does such "ambition" mean? Does it mean that he is full of resentment over what he has been abandoned? Do you want to take advantage of the power of the palace to take revenge on your mother and brother?

The concubine and the mother-in-law are on the same page, and they are not one or two families. However, it is mostly the mother-in-law who has the upper hand, unless the concubine can get ahead, or take advantage of the situation to oppress others.

Wang Qi looked up at the sky, and it was a rare melancholy.

He didn't want to offend the "villain" of the Taoist idiot, but he really watched San Lang being bullied?

But if you talk to San Lang about this now, it's strange that San Lang can believe it, and he will feel that he is sowing discord, and he is used to pretending to be honest before being an idiot.

It's so sad......

At this time, the Taoist idiot had already left the sect with Wang Qinghong and went to Mr. Zongxue's house to pay a visit.

The gentleman in charge of Zongxue is surnamed Ji Mingtai Chongkang, and his biological mother is the daughter of the Wang family, and she is an in-law who is attached to the Wang family. He achieved fame in his twenties, but he delayed the imperial examination because of his filial piety, and he did not win the examination until he was forty, and then failed to take the examination three times. The third time, he was in the same family as his eldest son, father and son, and he fell first, but his eldest son was on the list.

Although his eldest son is only in the top three, because of the help of the second master of the Wang family in Beijing, he was also awarded an official early.

Ji Tai saw that his sons had become talents, so he gave up his thoughts of taking the exam again and began to support the grass.

It just so happened that the third old lady in charge of Zongxue died of illness, and the patriarch personally came to the door, invited Ji Tai out of the mountain, and took over Zongxue.

Speaking of which, Ji Kang and Wang Qinghong are still cousins. Therefore, for Wang Qinghong to come to the door with his son, Ji Kang is quite close to each other, and he can also be called kind to Taoist idiots.

It's just that he heard that he only learned three hundred thousand words, and the four books and five classics were only roughly read, so his interest in the Taoist idiot decreased a lot, and all he said in his mouth was San Lang.

The implication of the words is that he is in favor of Saburo next year, and he is also very optimistic about his test results, but he does not agree with him continuing to take the test after the boys' exam. After all, Saburo is here at his age, and it is always good to study for a few more years and be down-to-earth in his schoolwork.

The best result is to pass the boy's test, enter the state school, and think of paying tribute. I studied and practiced in Guozijian for a few years, and I took the township examination in the next field.

This suggestion is exactly the same as what Wang Qinghong planned for San Lang.

Because of this suggestion, Wang Qinghong was a little more polite to Ji Kang, and the two became more and more close to each other.

While speaking, Wang Qinghong inadvertently mentioned the matter of the Zongxue examination.

Ji Kang frowned and said: "It's not a rumor, in the sect, it is necessary to take a centralized examination of the school, but it is not just a test of knowledge. Listening to the old lady's meaning, the candidate must not only be smart, but also have a good character and be calm. Otherwise, if you send someone to the palace casually, if you cause trouble, not only will you not be able to pull into the relationship between the palace and the clan, but you may also bring trouble to the clan. ”

Wang Qinghong somewhat understood why the old patriarch attached so much importance to this matter.

Since the Wang family selects the palace to accompany the children of the mean, most of the people who should be selected will stay with the prince and become officials of the palace when they grow up.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, there are two kinds of subordinate officials in the royal palace, one is of high grade, which is selected by the imperial court; One is low-level officials and petty officials, who can be appointed by the palace.

The Wang family is a behemoth in Anlu Prefecture, and the relationship with the Xing Royal Mansion is very important. Neither too flattering nor too distant.

This generation of King Xing, because he accepted the daughter of the Wang family as his wife, was quite friendly to the Wang family; The relationship between the next generation of King Xingwang and the Wang family may have to be tempered by the companion selected this time.

Thinking of this, Wang Qinghong really breathed a sigh of relief. Since it is chosen by the old patriarch, then there is nothing to worry about, Saburo has done his homework well, and Shiro has only gone home, so he is not a suitable candidate. Even if Shiro is enrolled now, the test results are good or bad, and it doesn't prove anything.

Regarding the matter of arranging Shiro's early enrollment, Wang Qinghong no longer hesitated.

The two of them were talking enthusiastically, and they didn't notice that the Taoist idiot next to them was listening with relish.

While listening, he was thinking about the age of King Xing's son in his heart.

King Ning rebelled, Xingwang Xu, Zhengde died, and the son of Xingwang who had succeeded to the throne became the heir emperor and entered Beijing to enter the Forbidden City.

can be regarded as a teenager by courtiers and **, which shows that Jiajing was still a minor when he entered Beijing. The children of the Ming Sect asked for a name at the age of five, asked for a seal at the age of ten, and got married at the age of fifteen.

This age of adulthood mostly refers to weddings. In this way, the major events mentioned above will happen within three years.

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty has always been the voice of civilian officials, and the military attachés and nobles have little room to speak.

Even if you hug the lap of the future emperor, if you want to rely on luck to get in and out, it will be difficult to get to a high position.

If you want to be confident, you still have to rely on yourself, and the imperial examination is a way to go.

However, there are restrictions on the place of origin of the imperial examination. If Xiao Jiajing enters Beijing, but he can only stay in Anlu to take the exam, how can he hug his thighs?

What Dad said to Mr. Ji is a more appropriate shortcut.

The idiot lowered his head, and he had already made up his mind with a conclusion.

When he returned home, the Taoist idiot went to Tongyuan to find Wang Saburo and made his request. He wanted to borrow Wang Saburo's notes to study the Four Books, the Five Classics, and the current texts.

When Wang Sanlang heard this, he nodded his head without hesitation, beckoned the idiot to follow him to the study, and pulled out two bamboo boxes from under the bookcase.

The box was opened, and it was full of Wang Sanlang's notes, and there were more than 100 books.

Seeing this, the idiot couldn't help but look at Wang Sanlang twice, and admired it.

I heard that Wang Sanlang was enlightened at the age of three, and calculated the time he had been studying, but it was only nine years. As an adult, it may not be uncommon to write down a hundred or so notebooks in nine years; But for a young boy who is only 11 years old, the perseverance and hard work can be imagined.

Wang Sanlang's hand groped for those notebooks, and his face couldn't help but have a look of remembrance.

Seeing this, the Taoist idiot said: "Third brother, don't worry, I will take these notes carefully, and I will definitely return to Zhao." ”

Wang Sanlang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Shiro, don't misunderstand, it's not that I am reluctant to take these notes, but I just think of the teacher in Nanchang Mansion, and I feel something." If you don't understand anything about these notes, you can come to me. Wait until the notes are read, and you don't have to send them back. When Goro is older, Shiro will leave these to Goro. After that, he didn't read that book anymore, but pulled the idiot to talk about the teacher he worshipped in Nanchang Mansion.

The idiot was also curious about Wang Qinghong's life in Nanchang Mansion, so not only was he not impatient, but he picked up a sentence from time to time, so that Wang Sanlang was interested in continuing to talk.

From Wang Sanlang's words, the Taoist idiot learned that Wang Qinghong's life in Jiangxi officialdom was not easy.

Fortunately when he was in the local government before, although Raozhou Mansion is the junction of three provinces and is busy with government affairs, Wang Qinghong is in the prime of life and can still be competent, otherwise he will not have a lot of achievements, and he was promoted from Zhizhou to Prefect, and then promoted from Sanpin to participate in politics.

But since he took office to participate in politics, he went to Nanchang, which is very different from the locality.

Ning Wangfu has been open in Nanchang for more than 100 years, and it has become a great clan domain. There were dozens of county kings, generals, and lieutenants who were separated from King Ning's mansion.

The power of Ning Wangfu was in the limelight in Nanchang for a while.

"The teacher Ding is worried about returning to his hometown, keeping filial piety is not out, except for his family and disciples, he rarely sees outsiders, and no one can pick out the bad, but Ning Wangfu is domineering, and he insists on inviting the teacher into the palace for a banquet, and the teacher returns the next day. and also took the beautiful maid out of the house. Shilin said that the teacher was lustful and greedy, and violated filial piety, but I knew that the teacher was not that kind of person, and he must have been forced. The teacher is from Nanchang, his wife and children are all in Nanchang, and if he doesn't give in to Ning Wangfu, what can he do? If you have a bad reputation, you can't tolerate it, so you can only rely on the palace. Wang Sanlang said so much in one breath, and in the end, he was already indignant: "Fortunately, Xingwangfu has only been opened for a generation, and the heirs are not prosperous, otherwise the people of Anlu Prefecture will suffer very much!" ”

The Taoist idiot listened, but his heart sank. is quite cautious about his cheap father, and he has nothing to do with Ning Wangfu; San Lang's cheap master has obviously rebelled.

Rebellion from rebellion, but it is a heinous crime, if others catch this story, whether Wang Sanlang can save his life is two words, and there is no hope in his career.

"Is the matter of the third brother's apprenticeship known?" Dao Idiot asked in a deep voice.

Wang Sanlang nodded, and said with a little astringency: "Teacher Ding Wei is the second product by the governor of the imperial history, and there are naturally more people who pay attention. Although my father didn't set up wine, most of the officialdom got the news and sent congratulatory gifts to the door. ”

The Taoist idiot listened to it and looked at Wang Sanlang, he was really speechless......;
