Chapter 46: Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!
As soon as the decree came out, everyone fell to their knees and did not dare to raise their heads.
Steward Zhao behind the door also knelt down, and soon stood up again, and ran towards the hall, only after walking a few steps, he saw the host master coming in a hurry from a distance.
The host master straightened the crooked hat on his hat and hurriedly said, "What's the situation?" ”
As soon as his words fell, Qian Zhaozhi's voice sounded outside, the words were sonorous and powerful, and the rendering ability was full, making the people around him cry and the listeners sad.
"Master Host, my father can't understand your good intentions for Daqian, but I understand your hard work!"
"Daqian is now in a stormy time, the imperial court urgently needs fresh blood to enter, and it also needs you as an upright and unafraid examiner!"
The host master's beard trembled slightly, he didn't expect that Qian Zhaozhi would mention Emperor Qianxing's denial of him in front of so many people, and she stood firmly on his side.
Emperor Qianxing has passed away, and Qianzhaozhi said that the first emperor was wrong, which was disrespectful to the first emperor.
What's more, the host master had already heard that Sheng Jingming was going to push Qian Zhaozhi to the throne, and she had taken the lead in the imperial examination for the court these days.
I'm afraid it's exactly as the rumors say.
As expected, the crowd was deadly silent, so quiet that even a pin could be heard clearly.
Great disrespect!
What a disrespectful remark!
The host master clenched his palms hard, and said in a dumb voice: "Open the door, please Your Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
The heavy wooden door creaked open from the inside, and the maids and maids stood in two rows, looking at the figure of Qian Zhaozhi half-kneeling on the ground with admiration.
"Eldest princess, the master is invited."
Steward Zhao saluted respectfully and hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up.
Qian Zhaozhi's whole little face was red from cold, and he stood up with the strength of Steward Zhao, and his eyes fell on the host master first.
When he saw the eyes of the host master, Qian Zhaozhi already knew in his heart that there was a chance that he could succeed this time!
Qian Zhaozhi walked towards the main hall under the leadership of Steward Zhao, the ginger tea hand stove had been prepared, and she was completely entertained as a guest of honor.
"Wait a minute, the eldest princess, the master will get something in the study, and I'll come in a moment."
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry."
Qian Zhaozhi held the steaming tea soup bowl and smiled softly, his eyes wandered in the hall, and the more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong.
These days, she went out of her way to check the property in the name of the host master, and filed a lot of taxes on time every year, so it seemed that they were all transactions that could make money.
A lot of money should be a problem.
It's just that why aren't the ornaments you see along the way valuable?
Steward Zhao noticed Qian Zhaozhi's eyes and explained: "Don't hide it from Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the master has a lot of money every year, but he can't help spending a lot. ”
The host master has been away from the court for many years, but he has always remembered the ordinary people at the bottom in his heart, so after making some achievements in trading, he gave back more silver to ordinary people.
The restaurants in each town under his name have set up a small corner with poems written by poor students passing by.
It's a long way to go.
There are often many students who are not entangled enough, so the host master's restaurant has helped many poor students to a certain extent.
In addition, the host master is a scholar, and he can understand how heavy a burden studying is for a family.
As a result, the host master set up schools in many poor villages, where many children of all ages would take classes.
Whether it is civilized literacy or teaching and educating people, it is a very valuable thing for these children.
A pen, an item, is a lot of money.
Steward Zhao joked: "Every time before the imperial examination, the business of the restaurant will be exceptionally good, and the students will make poems in exchange for a soup, and we are even more looking forward to the students being able to be named on the gold list." ”
"In this way, the name of our restaurant will be resounding throughout the whole world!"
Over the years, there have also been quite a few people on the list.
It's a pity that the people with the title of the gold list have long forgotten this small restaurant that once helped them.
Qian Zhaozhi was stunned by the information revealed in Steward Zhao's words, she didn't expect that there was such a thing in it at all, and she didn't expect the host master to do so many things behind his back.
All of them are good deeds for the well-being of the people.
Before Qian Zhaozhi could say anything, he saw a family member walk in through the door and said nervously: "Eldest princess, the master invites you to the study." ”
She nodded and followed her to the study.
The door of the study was pushed open, and Qian Zhaozhi stepped in without hesitation, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the host master standing in front of the huge text picture.
He said: "You have come here many times, and you have understood my thoughts, so we can talk straight to the point in the next conversation." ”
The host master is right.
The reason why Qian Zhaozhi was able to visit outside the door many times was because she decided that the host master would not be willing to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and after the conversation with Steward Zhao just now, she was even more convinced that her choice was correct.
If the host master really wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, he would not choose to be at the foot of the imperial city at all.
"I have participated in the imperial examination three times, and I have won the title of champion every time, but I have never ended well." The host master turned around and looked at Qian Zhaozhi with fierce eyes, "All this is thanks to your father!" ”
The various choices made on the battlefield, the host master dared to act boldly, and he was never afraid of infamy.
It's just that the host master is not reconciled!
The host master raised his hand and pointed to a few big characters on the wall, his whole body was trembling with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Study for the rise of the Great Qian." ”
"These words are all the motivation for me to work hard, but my motivation to move forward was completely broken after meeting your father, the emperor!"
Qian Zhaozhi listened to the host's master's accusations against her father, and felt a burst of joy in her heart for no reason, so she didn't refute his words at all, and even wished he could say more.
That year, Emperor Qianxing stood on the high hall and angrily scolded the host master for not being worthy of being a courtier, and angrily scolded him for being the scourge of Daqian!
What a serious word, cruelly falling on a minister who is fiercely loyal to the great cadres, you can imagine how sad it is.
The host master came back to his senses from the past memories and said, "Back then, your father and the emperor knocked me out of the main hall, and I vowed not to work for the emperor of Daqian. ”
"I am willing to support the people of Daqian, but this does not mean that I am willing to continue to enter the court as an official."
The words were too dead, so Qian Zhaozhi still saw hope in it.
She walked up to the word screen, raised her hand and stroked the two words Daqian, and suddenly said softly: "The master forgot one thing, Daqian is not the emperor's alone." ”
Isn't it?
