It didn't take long for Zhang Shun to come.

Originally, he only came to the main courtyard to say goodbye to the old lady, but the Zhu family and Zhao Ruxi avoided them. But Zhao Ruxi's identity is different from before, she is no longer an ordinary female dependant of Zhao Yuanxun's family, but a person in the officialdom. So she stayed with the old lady and followed Zhao Yuanxun to receive Zhang Shun.

Zhang Shun didn't come alone, and he brought a young man with him.

Seeing this, the smile on Zhao Yuanxun's face faded.

Zhang Shun greeted the old lady and said, "This is my nephew Zhang Zhaode." When my eldest brother heard that I was coming to Master Zhang, he begged me to bring him and ask Zhao Zhuangyuan for some knowledge. If there is anything abrupt, please also ask Haihan. ”

The old lady saw that Zhang Zhaode was a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and saw that her son's face was not very good-looking, so she guessed Zhang Shun's intentions in her heart.

Since Zhao Ruxi became a painting master, Suiping Bofu has never been calm.

At that time, Zhao Yuanxun was still in the capital, so every once in a while, someone brought his children and nephews to visit Suiping Bofu, and also revealed the idea of getting married. Some of them were female dependents who came to the door and told the old lady and the Zhu family that they didn't have, the purpose was to marry Zhao Ruxi as their daughter-in-law or nephew.

The old lady was quite interested in Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu at first, and felt that if there was a good candidate, they could also be kept as the object of consideration, and then they would find an opportunity to arrange for Zhao Ruxi to meet each other. What if Sister Xi also takes a fancy to each other?

Who knew that when they looked at it, they didn't fancy anyone who was better than their own sister Xi. Even some cats and dogs have come to the door, and they don't have the slightest self-knowledge.

Thinking about what Zhao Ruxi said about not considering family affairs, they simply faded their minds. If you are not very familiar with it or have a relatively high status, you will find a reason to refuse politely, and you don't even want to see it.

Although the smile on the old lady's face remained unchanged, the enthusiasm in her eyes faded, and she said, "Master Zhang said that he was smiling." You are a Jinshi, and with your teachings, why do you need to ask others for advice in your knowledge? ”

"Besides, my sister Xi is a little girl, although she was lucky to win the champion, she didn't dare to give others advice. The world has always been contemptuous of women, and if someone uses the excuse of asking for advice to ruin the reputation of my sister Xi and spread bad rumors, it will be to slap the emperor in the face. We can only be cautious in our words and deeds. Mr. Zhang would not be like this, and it was just a kind word to think about it. But we still have to explain it clearly to avoid misunderstandings. ”

"Hahaha, it's us who are abrupt, I'm really sorry." Zhang Shun smiled dryly, "Zhao Zhuangyuan is a new science and technology scholar, better than everyone, everyone wants to ask her for teaching, but they forget that she is a woman." ”

He smiled at the old lady and said, "With such a promising son and grandson, the old lady is blessed." ”

"Haha, the blessing of the prosperous era of Tuochangming, the blessing of the emperor." The old lady also began to play "haha" with him.

Zhang Shun came today, in addition to wanting to maintain a closer relationship with the Zhao family, it is best to sell his nephew, and also wanted to inquire about Zhao Ruxi's foreign appointment.

He had given a list to Zhao Yuanxun at that time. I don't know if this favor has been implemented.

He said to Zhao Ruxi: "Since Zhao Zhuangyuan has won the first class, he has stayed in the Hanlin Academy, right?" ”

"No, I'm asking to be released." Zhao Ruxi said with a smile.

"Huh?" Zhang Shun looked surprised, but immediately gave Zhao Ruxi a thumbs up, "Zhao Zhuangyuan is really different from everyone, he cares about the people, is willing to understand the people's livelihood and suffering, and is a model for my generation." ”

"Lord Zhang has won the prize." Zhao Ruxi smiled.

"I don't know where Zhao Zhuangyuan let go?" Zhang Shun asked.

As he spoke, he also glanced at Zhao Yuanxun, which reminded Zhao Yuanxun of the list that Zhang Shun gave him.

Zhao Yuanxun also looked at Zhao Ruxi.

He only received the good news that Zhao Ruxi was admitted to the top prize. As for Zhao Ruxi's dispatch of officials, because of the tight time, they came to Gusu soon, and the Zhu family did not send anyone to Zhao Yuanxun again.

Zhao Ruxi's release of foreign office was said by the Zhu family who sent someone to report in advance and let him go out of the city to greet the old lady's little servant. Zhang Shun was in Yamen at the time and also heard it.

As for where Zhao Ruxi was released, Zhao Yuanxun himself didn't know.

However, the list that Zhang Shun gave him, he had already sent someone back to the capital. I don't know how Zhao Ruxi is doing.

Zhao Ruxi said: "Nanyang Prefecture, Linjiang Prefecture, Anzhou Province, Renzhou Tongzhi. ”

Zhang Shun and Zhao Yuanxun were stunned.

This place is not in the list given by Zhang Shun.

Zhao Yuanxun was a little anxious and asked: "At the beginning, I asked someone to send back a list, which was all the same year or classmates of Master Zhang. Not only does he know who they are, but he can also take care of you with this relationship. This Nanyang Prefecture is not on the list, right? ”

"Dad, you're kidding. Sending officials is the emperor's business, how can I go wherever I want? Besides, I am the champion, the official residence is from the sixth grade, and there are not many people in the local area who can be suitable for my level, and I can't be the chief official of a place right away, I have to start as an auxiliary official, that is, the state Tongzhi is the most suitable for me. ”

As soon as Zhao Yuanxun spoke, he also knew that his words were inappropriate. It's okay to say some things at home, but now it's inappropriate to say it in front of Zhang Shun's uncle and nephew. When it is rumored out, some people must say that their Zhao family wants to be the lord of the emperor, or there is a royal history to impeach Wu Huai Temple and recruit black for Wu Huai Temple.

"Yes, yes, dad, this is also a concern." Zhao Yuanxun said, shook his head, and said with a wry smile, "You don't know, as soon as I heard that you were admitted to the Gongshi, I was worried that someone would bully you when you became a magistrate, and it was completely out of proportion." ”

"Haha, Zhao Zhuangyuan, your father cares about you." Zhang Shun said with a smile, "It was also he who complained to me with a sad face, so I wrote a list to comfort him, I can't take it seriously, I can't take it seriously." The matter of sending officials is naturally where the emperor is sent, and whoever is sent is whom, so we naturally listen to the arrangements of the imperial court. ”

He is a good person, as soon as he heard Zhao Ruxi's words, he quickly answered, cleared everyone up, and expressed his attitude by the way - he and the Zhao family are grasshoppers on the same rope, so the list is still given by him. He would never leak what Zhao Yuanxun said just now.

After saying this, he couldn't help but glance at his nephew.

A glimpse of the whole leopard, Zhao Ruxi opened his mouth, he knew that this was a powerful person, definitely not an ordinary little girl, and her political acumen was even more powerful than Zhao Yuanxun.

But also, without this level, you can't get the top prize. You must know that the township examination and the general examination are the fairest exams. Although the palace test looks at the face, it is also based on the examination. And the emperor will never let a straw bag be the champion.

Compared with Zhao Zhiwei, his nephew is simply different.
