"Ru Cheng has been studying hard for more than ten years, I originally thought that I would have achieved the merits of the Jinshi, but I didn't expect that this is just the beginning, and there are still so many ways to go in the future." Tan Yin sighed.

Zhao Xu Zhengse said: "How can the road to being an official be so easy, even the champions of all dynasties may not be able to become famous and become famous ministers, not to mention just being a fellow jinshi." There are as many as 150 Jinshi in each department, and this year there is also Enke Caixuan, Dazhao is full of talents, if you want to be reused, you need to continue to cultivate yourself and continue to experience. ”

"It's extremely rare for us to even take the exam there, and it's considered to be a good man, but there hasn't been one for more than ten years, I always want to be able to get a person to be a jinshi, and it's not worth living up to so many years of hard study, I didn't expect Rucheng to take such a difficult road to the eunuch. I always thought that he would be a college master like my father in the future! Tan Yin pulled a dog's tail grass on the side of the road, and brushed the ear in front of her, which was hard and painful.

"Ru Cheng has lofty ambitions, and he will not be satisfied with staying in your village to be a master of the academy."

Tan Yin smiled knowingly, "I also know his ambition, but I'm too cringe." ”

Looking at the dog's tail grass that was brushed up, Zhao Xu asked: "Countless people like to go to Beijing, saying that they would rather go to Beijing for a bed than a house in their hometown, they envy the prosperity and fashion of the city of the Son of Heaven, why don't you like it?" ”

"I don't like it, I just think that Shangjing is so big, there are a lot of people, things are so complicated, and it is not as simple as my hometown, so I have to be extra cautious in what I say and do. When I first arrived, I thought it was a novelty, but after a long time, I got a little tired. Tan Yin explained.

Zhao Xu comforted: "Don't be afraid, your cousin is your cousin, you are you, although the future is unknown, it will be better, and you can't always be nostalgic for your hometown." ”

Tan Yin nodded gratefully at him, in fact, she knew in her heart that she would go wherever Li Zheng was in the future. It is actually impossible to grow old with Li Zheng in his hometown.

"You'll stay in Shangjing forever!"

Yan Ting felt sorry for her little cousin, and once gave her a careful analysis of the future development trajectory of Xinke Jinshi.

Xinke Jinshi generally take up positions under the Sixth Department or the Hanlin Academy, slowly accumulate their prestige and contacts in the officialdom, stay for three or five years, and then be promoted, and then transferred out of Beijing. Since the beginning of the previous dynasty, the Hanlin Academy is a necessary place for everyone who goes to the temple to worship the prime minister, and only those who enter the Hanlin Academy can be convincing in terms of knowledge, and can go further in the officialdom in the future. Therefore, the new science and technology scholars all want to enter the Hanlin Academy, Li Zheng is no exception, he ranks in the last few of the top three, and he is now visiting fellow township officials everywhere to help Wang Shilang and other adults do things in the hope of having the opportunity to enter the Hanlin Academy.

Zhao Xu is different from Li Zheng, he is ranked higher, and his family prestige and the elders and officials in the clan naturally help him a lot.

Zhao Xu pondered for a moment and said: "I may stay in Beijing for one to two years to understand the operation of the various departments of Dazhao, and then I will travel and experience in various places." ”

Tan Yin was surprised: "Why do you think so? ”

"After I arrived in Beijing, I made countless friends, many people came to be officials, naturally hoping to enter high school, and then enter the sixth department of the Hanlin Academy, and then release to be an official, and finally return to Beijing, looking forward to one day to be able to worship the prime minister. There are countless examples of this throughout the ages. ”

"What's wrong with that?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that I see that Yang Che and the Xu family brothers have been training and traveling outside for several years, and their temperament and demeanor are completely different. Zhao Xu exclaimed.

Tan Yin remembered what these people said and did, and said with a smile: "You just said that Ru Cheng has lofty ambitions, I think you are more ambitious than Kunpeng, admire and admire." ”

"You have an overreputation, I just want to cultivate my self-cultivation and make meritorious contributions, I am still far behind!" Zhao Xu looked at her and said, "Li Zheng...... Li Zheng is okay with you? ”

Tan Yin nodded at him and said, "He is very good to me, but those adults have a lot of things to do and socialize, so they can't meet me often, and they are in a hurry every time they meet." ”

"Are you considered a penitent husband looking for a marquis?" Zhao Xu joked.

He has a solemn nature, this kind of joke is very rare, although Tan Yin is more familiar with him, he is embarrassed, "How can I let him find the marquis!" ”

Zhao Xu looked at her with shy eyes, her cheeks were crimson, and she smiled, "Okay, if he has something to do in the future, even if he tells me, I am familiar with your father and Yanting, and it is also fate." ”

He and Gu Zhijun are not like ordinary Confucian scholars, they are reluctant to get acquainted with businessmen, they have a very good relationship with Yanting, and they often ask about some general affairs.

Tan Yin smiled and nodded.

Zhao Xu thought for a while and said: "I don't know if I should say this or not, although Zhijun is familiar with you, but this proper etiquette can not be abolished, if there is any gossip, Zhijun still has to participate in the selection, Yanya's marriage has not yet been settled, so it is not beautiful." ”

Tan Yin looked at him and nodded slowly.

……

Tan Yin went back to find Yanmin and told her what Zhao Xu said.

"I think Zhao Xu means this, I didn't know about Gu Zhijun and Yanya before, it seems that Gu Zhijun and my eldest cousin didn't tell him. I don't think he agrees. ”

Yan Min was originally sitting crookedly, eating candied fruit without a pair, and when he heard this, he immediately sat upright, spit out the words, and thought for a while: "I can't talk to Yanya about this for the time being, I see that Gu Zhijun and Yanya get along very well, Zhao Xu doesn't agree with it, he is not Gu Zhijun's father, he can be the master for him, let's wait and see what happens!" ”

Tan Yin nodded and said, "If this thing really doesn't work out, Yanya is only afraid of ......"

Both of them knew in their hearts that if this thing didn't work out, it would undoubtedly be a double blow to Yanya.

"By the way, is there any news from Wang Mingzhu?" Tan Yin asked.

Yan Min shook his head, hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "I probed the last time we met, and the person was as slippery as a fish, you don't want to get any positive or negative news from her." I'll keep watching! ”

Tan Yin lay on the bed at night and couldn't sleep for a long time, repeatedly thinking about what Zhao Xu said today, what Yang Che had said, and all kinds of things that had happened in the past year or so. There was a glimmer of hope shining through the dawn, but now it seems to be about to be clouded, where is the road ahead? There seems to be nothing, looming.
