Prime Minister

Chapter 169

The most important place in the world is not marriage but officialdom.

The prime minister's disciple, the seventh-rank official.

What about the prime minister's son?

How many grade officials is that?

This is really hard to say.

Wen Jifu has a dignified appearance, and his speech and demeanor are both graceful and elegant, as well as the elegance of a scholar. He has a calm demeanor and a calmness that exceeds his age. Such a man is placed in a female novel, and he is also the role of the second male.

In a word, it is not easy to live in Bianjing.

Different people say it differently.

Some people say it in a tone that seems to look down on them from top to bottom, which makes people annoyed as soon as they hear it.But Wen Jifu said that he thought about you from the standpoint of a friend, it was first-class intimacy.

Zhang Yue knew that the other party was right.

Housing prices in the Song Dynasty were surprisingly expensive.

The two-storey small building in my own home in the county is worth 150 guan. How much is the house price in Bianjing?Zhang Yue didn't intend to ask at all, even in the Bian River, where the Cai River is prone to waterlogging, Zhang Yue didn't think about it.

Even a boss like Ouyang Xiu has to rent a house now, let alone buy a house.

Zhang Yue thought for a while and said: "As Liu Lang-jun said, it is true, it is really not easy to live in Bianjing."

Wen Jifu smiled at Zhang Yue's frankness, from the first meeting, to Wang Anguo's introduction, and finally to chatting with Zhang Yue.

Wen Jifu's evaluation of Zhang Yue can be said to be gradually rising all the way.

Fifteen Niang was anxious from the bottom of her heart, what does it mean that her husband is not at all?Why don't you make it clear soon?

Wen Jifu said: "Sanlang, I'm joking. There is no reason for people's wealth and honor. Since ancient times, princes and generals have always had kindness."

After hearing this, Shiwu Niang was anxious in her heart, how could she say that, she looked at a vase beside her and put it down on the ground.

The sound of the vase rolling, of course, was heard by those present, Wen Jifu knew that his wife was dissatisfied, and this was urging him.

Wen Jifu smiled, he knew his wife's temperament, she dared to make up her mind, she was decisive, but sometimes her vision was a little short-sighted.

We should not blindly emphasize that men should not be ungrateful when they make a fortune, and they must be respected when they are humble.

Throughout the ages, there have been many things about Zhu Maichen.

But when Wen Jifu thought about Zhu Maichen, he also felt that he had some approval for Zhang Yue.Sometimes it really doesn't take much words, you can tell whether this person is reliable or not.

With this frankness and neither humble nor overbearing attitude, he has leapt above many people, of course he can't see the others for a while.

Wen Jifu laughed and said: "Sanlang, it's really embarrassing to meet here for the first time. In two days, please come to the house to talk about it. I will host a banquet for you."

Zhang Yue said: "Mr. Wen Liulang, please be polite."

"Hey, what are Sanlang's hobbies on weekdays? Archery and pot throwing are good, so we can get together."

Zhang Yue said: "Know a thing or two."

"Great."

After hearing her husband's words, Shiwu Niang knew that she was defending her.His husband didn't make all the friends, and he always kept a respectful distance from those who were greedy for wealth and honor, but when he invited Zhang Yue to his house, it was known that the other party recognized him very much.

Wen Jifu said with a smile: "Brother Wang will also come together at that time, let's have a good chat."

Wang Anguo smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liulang, but I'm busy with summer classes in the next few days, so I won't disturb you."

Speaking of this, the servants brought soup, Zhang Yue and Wang Anguo got up and said goodbye after drinking the soup.

Wen Jifu laughed and said, "Let me send you two off."

After seeing off Zhang Yue and Wang Anguo, Wen Jifu returned to the pavilion, and saw Shiwu Niang with a livid face.

"Madam, calm down."

"How can I appease my anger? Seventeen was the one I watched and grew up with, and was coaxed away by some frivolous words. That's something that only happens in small households. How can it be in my own home? What do you want me to do?" Are you at ease?"

Wen Jifu knew in his heart that his wife and Shiqi had been at odds since childhood, and now she is more concerned about the reputation of her Wu family.If something goes wrong in Shiqi's marriage, it will not only shame the Wu family, but also make their married women never be able to hold their heads up in their husband's family.

Wen Jifu said with a smile: "Sit down, lady, have a sip of tea, let me talk to you slowly."

The maid at the side brought tea to Shiwu Niang.

Shiwu Niang was not in the mood to drink, but she took a look at Wen Jifu's face, took a sip from the tea bowl and said calmly, "This time the officials should talk about it!"

Wen Jifu laughed and said, "Lady, let me ask you how you and your three elder sisters look at people?"

Fifteen Niang hesitated.

Wen Jifu immediately added: "Everyone is a shrewd and capable person, but how can ordinary men's tricks catch the eye? If they are really here to climb high branches, I don't know? As for Seventeen, I have seen it a few times, and I have a very serious heart." For those who have a firm opinion, perhaps I am not as good at seeing people as she is."

Fifteen Niang said: "How do I know? Although Seventeen...has been outstanding since childhood, but he was raised in a boudoir since childhood, how would he know that the people outside are sinister?"

Wen Jifu laughed and said: "My lady is right. There are many women who are idiots when they encounter this matter, but I think Seventeen is still very well-mannered. As for this chapter, Mr. Sanlang, I just read it, although it is only a few words. , but it can be seen that he is a talent. Otherwise, I would not invite him to sit at home."

Shiwu Niang nodded and said, "I also said that you want to invite him to your home to interrogate him."

Wen Jifu laughed and said, "Why do you have to come to the house for interrogation? Just send someone to look it up."

"That's right, it's rare to see you treat people like this."

Wen Jifu said: "My lady, I was just afraid of your impulsiveness. If you rush out to inquire and offend him, how will the sisters get along with each other in the future? Even if this person does not marry Shiqi, I don't think he has lived under others for a long time, so don't offend him." It's good for people."

Shiwuniang thought about it, this Zhang Sanlang entered the Taixue at the age of 15, if he has a good future in the future, it is not that he is not worthy of Shiqiu. Hearing what her husband said, I feel that he has considered it carefully.

But Shiwu Niang said with a smile in front of her: "Your Wen family's family style is so cautious. Your temperament is very much like your father."

Wen Jifu laughed and said: "Where is Daddy, he is the one who sails carefully. But don't worry, lady, I will check Zhang Sanlang's details when I get back... Zhang Yue's name sounds familiar."

"At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Sex is similar... yes, isn't the three-character poem that has been circulated among the people recently written by Mr. Sanlang in this chapter? I didn't expect it just now."

Wen Jifu showed a sudden look.

Fifteen Niang obviously heard the name of this three-character poem and asked, "Is it the three-character poem that Li Taibo, who was in charge of Gou Taixue, said last time?"

Wen Jifu nodded and said, "Lady, you almost missed a big deal just now."

"After the three-character poem was played, the officials handed over the son to the Zhongshu for discussion. At that time, some people advocated giving this son a "beginning with Jinshi", but they opposed it. He was young, but how could he write it at the age of twelve or thirteen? There must be some fallacies in this article, let's wait for verification, so as not to make people laugh. My father told me about this, yes, I still remember it."

"Born with Jinshi?" Now it was Shiwuniang's turn to be a little surprised.

What is 'same Jinshi background'.

As the name suggests, Tong Jinshi origin means "not Jinshi origin but treated as Jinshi origin".

The Jinshi family background is the treatment of the top three and four best Jinshi, and the same Jinshi background is the same treatment as the top three and four top Jinshi.

At the beginning, Yan Shu was a 14-year-old prodigy who passed the examination, and the officials gave him the treatment of "same background as Jinshi".

But now the imperial examination is not given up.

Therefore, the fifth class of Jinshi will be given "from the same Jinshi background".

The implication is that you people are ranked last, and you are not qualified in the original palace examination.But now that the palace examination does not screen people, you will all be arranged to be "from the same Jinshi background".

That's the way it is said, but now it has become first-class treatment in the officialdom.

After Ruo Zhangyue received this treatment, he could be an official in principle, provided that he had to be selected by the Ministry of Officials.

Shiwuniang didn't know that Zhang Yue had passed by "from the same Jinshi background", but even if he passed by, what about the man who could write this three-character poem in his teens?

Fifteen Niang was silent now.

Wen Jifu said: "Now I want to take back my words. Not to mention whether or not this fellow was born as a Jinshi, it is easy for this person to live here in Bianjing."

Fifteen Niang said: "It's not that I look down on this man's background, it's just that the four sisters have joined the high school. If Shi Qi marries a poor family... I just want to know how Shi Qi met Sanlang? Could it be? The last time we met on the way back to Beijing, we met in the countryside."

Wen Jifu laughed and said, "You might as well ask Shi Qi yourself about that. Ma'am?"

When Shiwuniang heard this, she paused and thought, since she was young, she had fought against Shiqi in everything, so she would also lose in the fight for husband and son-in-law?

"She is very courageous. She fell in love with Mr. Ruyi, but she put aside the teachings of her parents, and even ignored us sisters? If something happens, I really don't know how to end it."

Wen Jifu couldn't help laughing secretly when he heard the words.

But Zhang Yue didn't know that his three-character poem almost gave him a "same background as Jinshi".

At this moment, he is still a second-year student in Taixue in a very salty manner.

After a new round of supervisory examinations, the new imperial students have already entered the Imperial Academy.

Although the funds for running the school in Taixue are insufficient, last year the number of students in Taixue increased from 450 to 600, and among the [-] quotas, there are still [-] Jinshi places and dozens of places to help Kemingjing. To the last hope of the South Shortcut.

So those with connections tried every means to send their children to Taixue.

Li Gou and Wu Zhongfu deeply felt that it would be inconvenient to manage if there were too many people. Although they wanted to shirk it, it was not something they could decide.Therefore, after deducting those who left the old students and Shi Brown as officials last year, the number of Tai students reached more than 800 in one breath.

Therefore, all the fasting houses of Taixue were full at once.

As for Zhang Yue's dormitory, three freshmen also came.

At this moment, Zhang Yue took over Liu Zuo's role as the head of the dormitory, and now he is going to see Li Gou to arrange the distribution of freshmen.

Zhang Yue and Huang Haoyi walked and chatted all the way.

Huang Haoyi said: "Sanlang, Chief Liu has won the first prize, and now the seat of Chief Chief Liu is vacant. I think you have a good relationship with Li Zhidao, so why not talk to him about it. In the future, you will become Chief Chief of the Pastry, and you will have your own opinions on everything. , so that I can be touched by your light."

Zhang Yue glanced at Huang Haoyi and said angrily: "You are taking advantage of my head of the fast, so that you can stay out all day and night in the name of 'Ganfeng', and go in and out of Taixue."

Huang Haoyi smiled embarrassedly: "Sanlang, I can't hide anything from you."
