Chapter V: Qualifications for Children
Wen Houde's slightly chubby face is a little distorted, of course he can understand the poetry of this poem "Spring Night Rain".
In addition to writing about the beauty of the spring rain, it also alludes to the fact that when he was in danger, Lord Zhang helped himself like a timely spring rain. The artistic conception of this poem is incomparable to the other three.
At this time, no one spoke in the audience, and it was Lord Zhang who broke the silence.
This poem is very good, showing the color of spring rain, and can get the resources of children. ”
This is Mr. Zhang's evaluation, in an era of pen and ink culture, the qualification of fame is a symbol of status, Mr. Zhang's words, it shows that Lintian is no longer a low-level subordinate.
At this time, Lintian was less than ten steps away from Mr. Zhang, and just now because he was wholeheartedly composing poetry, he didn't pay attention to it, and only then did he see Mr. Zhang's face clearly, slightly strict, and his eyes were clear, making people feel that he was a bright and upright person.
Lintian bowed his hand: "Thank you, Lord Zhang!"
"Well, don't be polite, it's not easy to have such talent, since I promised you before, then I will give you a child qualification, don't live up to our expectations. ”
Subsequently, Master Zhang turned to Wen Houde.
He arched his hand and said: "Master Wen, this is your family affair, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere, but you have also seen this song "Happy Rain on a Spring Night", since there is something to say first, how about giving Zhang some thin noodles this time?"
Master Zhang's meaning is very clear, Lintian's talent is enough to protect himself, and a person with child qualifications is a talent of the country, at least for now.
"Oh, Lord Zhang's words are reasonable, please rest assured, just follow the adult. Wen Houde's face was a little ugly, but after all, he had been running a family for many years, and the city government still had this.
Wen San's eyes widened, he never expected that he should have killed Lintian, but he gave him a big opportunity by mistake. He wanted to step forward and say something, but suddenly saw Wen Houde's murderous eyes, so he retreated. At this time, his heart was even more uneven, and he looked at Lintian fiercely, "Hmph, sooner or later, I will kill you with my own hands!"
"In that case, then Zhang will thank the head of the Wen family, and when he returns to the capital, he will definitely go to your second brother, Lord Shangshu, to pay a visit. Master Zhang said politely.
"Haha, Lord Zhang is too polite, so Wen won't say anything, but ......" Wen Houde turned his words and looked at Lintian.
"In the future, Lintian will be expelled from the Wen family, and there will be nothing to do with it in the future, hmph! You can do it yourself, but you better remember that you can't always be so lucky!"
Lintian understands that even if Wen Houde doesn't say it, it will be impossible for him to stay here in the future, but he will face the revenge of the Wen family in the future.
Master Zhang stood up, "In that case, then let's end today, the three sons of the Wen family are worthy of their reputations, and they all have children's qualifications, and he will be recommended to the Liangfu Academy one day." ”
When Wen Houde heard this, his face softened slightly: "Haha, then thank you Master Zhang." ”
"You're welcome, then I'll take my leave, Lintian Xiaoyou, come with me. ”
Lintian's eyes lit up, this was obviously an opportunity for Master Zhang to give him, and at the same time, he could ensure his safety in the future. Hurriedly arched his hand: "Yes, my lord." ”
Then Lintian glanced at everyone in the Wen family, and followed Master Zhang to the gate of the Wen Mansion.
"Is this a salted fish turnover?"
"Hungry, sort of, I really don't know what kind of shit luck this is going to the sky. ”
The people in the house began to discuss.
Wen San stared, it was difficult to calm down in his heart, he now had the urge to go up and kill, but when he thought of Wen Houde's eyes, he still suppressed his arrogance and watched Lintian leave.
Lintian came outside, got into Master Zhang's carriage, and left in the envious eyes of many subordinates.
Maybe it's because Master Zhang doesn't smile, and in the carriage, Lintian is a little nervous.
"Although this Lord Zhang saved me, it is inevitable that there will be some plans, so it is better to be careful. But why didn't you speak when you got into the carriage?" Lin Tian muttered to himself.
At this time, Master Zhang seemed to notice Lintian's discomfort, looked at him, and said, "What are your plans for the future?"
Lintian hesitated a little, thought for a while and said, "I don't know yet, but since the adults have given me the next chance, I think I should try it!"
"Well, seeing that you are quite talented, and the way of fame is the right choice, you will live with me these days, and you will avoid conflicts with the Wen family. ”
Lintian saw that Master Zhang intended to help him, so he quickly thanked him.
In this era, the qualifications of children are selected by examination, and only when they get the qualifications of children can they embark on the road of fame and get the show. But because Tongsheng is only a symbol of qualifications, the threshold is not so high, most of the eunuchs and nobles almost do not need to go through this procedure, only a letter of recommendation is needed, 'Xiucai' is the real one, the beginning of the literati fame.
Lintian may not know that his "Happy Rain on a Spring Night" is already qualified enough in Mr. Zhang's heart, and he can even go directly to the Liangfu Academy to take the Xiucai exam.
After a short time, the carriage arrived at the mansion where Lord Zhang lived temporarily, got off the carriage, and came to the main hall with Lord Zhang in Lintian.
After Lord Zhang sat down, he straightened his face and said: "Lintian, you can stay with me for a few days, and when you are ready, I will give you a letter of recommendation, if you are really determined, go to Cangzhou, where the real Wenlu begins, and then the roadside depends on yourself." ”
Lintian got up and arched his hand: "Thank you for your help, I will repay it in the future!"
"Well, you're welcome, it's not too early, what's the matter, I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
After saying that, Master Zhang left, and Lintian also followed the servant to his room.
.........
At this time, there seemed to be some quiet in the Wen family's compound, Wen Houde dismissed the family, and only the three sons of the Wen family and the housekeeper were left in the courtyard.
Wen San thought that he would be scolded for his mistakes, but unexpectedly, it was not like this.
Wen Houde narrowed his eyes: "Hmph! I knew that I should have cut down the grass and eradicate the roots at the beginning, but now it has really become a scourge, does he know something?"
The housekeeper replied casually: "Master, this is impossible, it was done seamlessly, leaving no traces, besides, what can he know as a child?"
"Well, but after so many years, since the 'grave has been compacted', then get rid of it, although there can't be any major incidents, but it's better to be less troublesome, can't let him have a chance to get up, go back and give the second brother in the capital a letter to his family, that Lord Zhang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”
"Yes, little one understands. With that, the butler turned and left.
The third son of the Wen family stood aside respectfully, he had never seen Wen Houde so angry on weekdays, but for some reason, Lintian was able to let him use the power of the second uncle of the capital.
"The three of you should hurry up, with Tong Sheng's letter of recommendation, go to Cangzhou, where it has been arranged, you go to the Liangfu Academy, and strive to win Xiucai this year, I also want to ask the ancestors of the Wen family to ask for luck and blessings for you." ”
Wen San was a little anxious: "But father, it's ...... the sky."
Before he could finish speaking, Wen Houde interrupted him: "You don't have to worry about this, even if he has the qualification to be a child, I have my own arrangements......"
