When Tang Yin found Zhu Hao, it was February 21, and it was not far from the trial release list.

Zhu Hao was busy with the affairs of the laboratory, he opened a workshop in Beijing began to take shape, hired more than 40 female workers to come to spin and weave, the workshop was full of people, Zhu Hao did not personally go to the workshop to supervise, just stayed in the warehouse to check the quality of the cloth produced, and taught a few apprentices to use hooks to repair some small defects.

When Tang Yin came, he saw Zhu Hao, who was wearing an apron overalls and a cloth hat.

This look......

Tang Yin was amused for a while, and couldn't help but say: "I don't know, I thought you were a knitting girl, but you are my Ming person, so you don't care about your image?" ”

Zhu Hao handed the crochet to the apprentice on the side, walked out of the warehouse side by side with Tang Yin, did not change the overalls on his body, came to a room next to him, poured a glass of water for Tang Yin, and did not even put a piece of tea, Tang Yin really didn't want to drink this tasteless boiled water, and waved his hand to indicate that he was not welcome.

"I am not only a Daming Juren, but also the head of my workshop, I come from the family workshop to supervise and dispatch, do I need to care about other people's opinions?"

Zhu Hao's tone was calm.

Tang Yin thought about it, there was nothing wrong with this.

It's like saying that a person, no matter how much he has achieved in the court, is also a child born and raised by his father, and he is in a state of suppression as soon as he returns home.

The same person plays many roles in society.

Tang Yin said: "According to the rules, two days around February 25th, the list will be released, seeing that the time is approaching, why are you not in a hurry at all?" ”

"What's the use of being in a hurry?" Zhu Hao smiled and asked, "It's not every time the list is released on February 25, right?" Didn't Mr.'s trial release list drag on until the end of the month? ”

Tang Yin was full of displeasure, he wanted to say, the reason why it was delayed until the end of the month at that time was not to trap me? When the question case broke out, the imperial court had to re-examine every test paper.

But in the face of Zhu Hao, who was clear about everything, Tang Yin knew that it was useless to say anything, so he could only ask in a pastime tone: "Then are you not confident to be on the list?" ”

Zhu Hao sighed: "Where do people get so much self-confidence? I said that I can get into the Jinshi in one go, sir, do you believe it? I will try this kind of thing, not only to see the talent and learning, but also to see the strategy of governing the country, and I understand the truth before the test is over.

"Sometimes it's better to be pragmatic, just like my workshop, two months ago there was nothing, you see that after my hard work, I have been able to produce cloth, and I earn dozens of taels of ...... a month."

"Do you care about a few dozen taels a month?"

Tang Yin first taught a lesson with a straight face, and then frowned, "Can weaving make money like this?" ”

Zhu Hao smiled.

Say I shouldn't care, don't you Tang Yin do the same?

"Look at what Mr. said, who is not alive in the world? Seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, clothing, food, housing, and transportation do not cost money? It's useless to be high, and the less confident I am in the Jinshi exam, the more I have to focus on reality...... Forget it, don't talk about it, is there anything else that Mr. has? ”

Zhu Hao wanted to be reasonable, but is it useful to talk about life philosophy with an old guy who has lived for fifty years and is half in the ground? Even if you say everything, people will scoff at you.

What's the matter, I have no life experience as an old bone, so I need you kid to guide me? Even if you really know more than anyone else, do you think I'll listen to you?

Tang Yin chattered endlessly: "Shou Ning Hou and Qing Yun Hou fought in the capital in order to rob the shop, you also know about it, aren't you afraid that this business will be done and robbed by others?" ”

Zhu Hao shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid." ”

"Huh?"

Tang Yin thought to himself, you are a dead duck with a hard mouth.

A profitable business is not afraid of being remembered? Do you think you can withstand the persecution of the powerful with your own ability? Relying on Xingwangfu to support you is too much to take for granted!

"Sir, you see that my business is not only a technical job, but also a scientific and technological work...... If it were purely about technology, he would be able to support this business by snatching away my workshop, machines and craftsmen, but if it was about technology, he would never be able to do it without me. Zhu Hao smiled.

Tang Yin frowned.

What kind of science and technology work, technology work, why can't I understand it at all?

"The owner of the Su has found you......"

As soon as Tang Yin's words came out, he was interrupted by Zhu Hao's outstretched hand.

Zhu Hao said: "I know about his return to Beijing, and I have sent someone to tell him, what he asked me for, I have already given it to him, as for how Huang Shilang got comments in the official assessment, and what officials he will be in the future, it is not for me to interfere......"

"That'...... What's next for Huang Shilang? ”

Tang Yin asked with concern.

Zhu Hao shrugged: "I told you before that there are two possibilities, one is to stay in the Beijing Division and transfer to the sixth department of the left squire, and the other is to transfer to the southern household department." Now there is a third possibility, that is, Huang Shilang is also tired of the career of officialdom and retreats...... With the experience of the right attendant of the household, it is not bad to choose Zhishi, after all, he is not young. ”

Tang Yin took a breath and said: "In the past two years, the household has been well organized by him, and it would be a pity if he retreated." ”

Zhu Hao said: "Who said it wasn't? But you look at this court situation, there are faint kings and traitors, and there are powerful ministers in charge, do you think it is easy for a person like him who has no strong background to make a name for himself in the court? At this time, the situation is forcing the capable ministers to retreat bravely, and those with lofty ambitions, who wants to be an official? ”

Tang Yin almost spat out when he heard this.

You kid...... Does that mean you don't want to be an official yourself?

"Of course, Mr. may slander me, thinking that I squeeze my head and stab the court, duplicitous, but I am not a capable person in Mr.'s mouth, I have no lofty ambitions, and I want to be an official of the next dynasty, and some people want to be the elder of the two dynasties, the elder of the three dynasties or even more, and it is enough for me to be the official of the first dynasty for the prince."

Zhu Hao said with a smile.

Tang Yin rolled his eyes: "You really take it for granted...... It was you who told Concubine Lou that she was going to ...... in the next two years Well!? ”

Zhu Hao shrugged: "Yes, I also asked her to persuade you to let you stay by the side of the prince and do more things for the imperial court." ”

Tang Yin said: "Have you thought about it, if the new emperor does not ascend the throne in two years......

"No, no, what's the big deal? Give Concubine Lou a hope, let her inspire you to serve the country and the people, and have the courage to do things, did I do something wrong? She now lacks a goal in life, and you also lack the motivation to forge ahead, the two of you are also in the red dust, like duckweed, relying on each other and motivating each other, isn't it a win-win situation? ”

Zhu Hao's words made Tang Yin stunned for a while.

"Okay sir, I'll go and see it when the list is released...... The list of exams is different from the previous exams, I still want to witness it in person, and when the time comes, Mr. will be together, maybe God will bless me, and I will pass the test at one time? If you want to say that this is a jinshi...... It's really an ordeal, nine days is like going to prison, starving and cold, I don't want to come next time......"

Tang Yin was speechless for a while when he heard this.

……

……

Then Tang Yin also went by Zhu Hao, anyway, it was only a few days before the release of the list.

When Tang Yin went to teach Zhu Si, Zhu Si kept asking about Zhu Hao's current situation.

"Sir, Zhu Hao hasn't been here for a while, and I miss him a lot...... Didn't you say that he would continue to teach me after the exam? Why is there no one to be seen...... Also, my uncle told me that it won't be long before I can go back to Anlu, why is there no definite news yet? ”

Zhu Si's question was difficult for Tang Yin, he thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head and said that he didn't know.

After a class is told, the person who talks about it has no thoughts, and the person who listens is even more drowsy, and the old and young people pretend to hold on until the end of the class.

In the past, Zhu Si had already gone to play, but at this time, he was in a foreign land, and his spirit was much worse than before, and he didn't want to have fun even after class.

"Shizi, you can rest, you don't have to go to class for two days after tomorrow, you can arrange it yourself."

Tang Yin thought of Zhu Hao's previous reminder to him that he should pay attention to the changes in Zhu Si's mood and prevent this kid from going to extremes, so he took the initiative to beckon Zhu Si to go playing.

Zhu Si was absent-minded and said, "Staying here in the capital is not interesting at all." ”

Tang Yin said: "Isn't there an opera troupe singing? There are also crickets, cockfights, dogfights and so on outside......"

Zhu Si cried with a sad face: "It's not interesting to always play with those, I'...... I miss my mother, it's better to be at home. ”

Tang Yin thought to himself, he was really said by that kid.

Even if he lived freely in Jingshi, it could not hide the fact that Zhu Si was just a child, and such a child could not bear to be separated from his family for a long time, but Tang Yin immediately thought of Jinghong...... Jinghong's kid has been studying in a foreign land for so many years, how did he survive?

"By the way, Shizi, in two days, the list will be released, and then I will make an appointment with Zhu Hao and go to see the list together?" Tang Yin took the initiative to make an invitation.

When Zhu Si heard this, his eyes finally had a little brilliance: "It's good." Will Zhu Hao go then? ”

Tang Yin said: "He said he would go." ”

"Then why hasn't he come to see me for the past two days?" Zhu Si hurriedly asked again.

Tang Yin was speechless for a while.

Yes, why didn't that kid even want to see Zhu Si after the exam?

Busy?

No matter how busy you are, you can still find some time, right?

That kid has reminded him that Zhu Si is not by your side, and he will be psychologically extreme, and you are still hanging him like this? Quarreled? I haven't heard of it!

Tang Yin said: "Actually, Zhu Hao has been busy doing a big thing recently, I asked him, but he refused to say it explicitly, I guess it must be for you to be busy for the son." ”

Zhu Sixiao's eyes were shining: "I'll just say, Zhu Hao won't leave me alone, the big thing he did must be to help me become the emperor." ”

Tang Yin originally wanted to comfort Zhu Si, but when he said that casually, who knew that Zhu Si would take it seriously.

However, Tang Yin thought about it, and his analysis was not unreasonable.

He and Zhu Hao have known each other for more than a day or two, and when he finds out that Zhu Hao has made some abnormal moves, there must be a big conspiracy behind it, and even Tang Yin is used to this.

Since it is very abnormal for Zhu Hao not to see Zhu Si this time, is it wrong to analyze that he is doing a big thing in secret?

"When the prince sees him, ask for himself." Tang Yin said.

Zhu Si smiled and waved his hand: "No need, I believe in Zhu Hao, he will never harm me, when I was a child, he repeatedly saved my life, even my father and mother said that he is my lucky star, with him, maybe I can really become the emperor......

"Sir, you go and get busy, I'll find someone to fight cocks...... Hey, speaking of which, my black general hasn't been out in the sun for a long time, and I'm going to show my strength today! ”
