Prime Minister

Chapter 215 Xia Yu
After Fu Bi left, everyone was shocked from the bottom of their hearts.

Knowing that Zhang Yue is so good, but he didn't expect to be so good, even in front of Fu Xianggong, he can speak freely and talk freely.

Before finally leaving, Fu Bi's words did not hesitate to make Zhang Yue famous.

See your article on the palace test!

Although this time everyone met as a foil.

Huang Lu didn't mind, anyway, seeing Fu Xianggong, it was enough to know what a prime minister was, and he couldn't force his appreciation or not.Zhang Yue was appreciated by Fu Bi, which was his good luck.Besides, Fu Bi's own sons didn't pass the Jinshi exam. If he really cared about him, he would definitely not be like this.So Fu Xianggong's words may not be so magical.

Huang Haoyi has long been convinced of Zhang Yue, but now he thinks that someone who is even admired by the rich Xianggong will definitely not have to run away in the future.Now Huang Haoyi is all about hugging his thighs.

Huang Haoyi's elder brother is related to Zhang Dun by marriage, and he and he are both fellow villagers and classmates. This friendship is not ordinary.In his opinion, if Zhang Yue succeeds in the future, his conscience will be too much for him not to give him a hand.

Guo Lin was not only happy for Zhang Yue, but also felt that he couldn't keep up with his junior brother in flattery, and he needed to work harder after returning home.

Only Sun Guo was a little bored.

He is Shao Yong's disciple, and his teacher is a good friend of Fu Xianggong, but Fu Xianggong and Fu Dalang didn't mention it, even if they were concerned.

Fu Xianggong was not thoughtful enough.

Just now Zhang Yue climbed up the stairs, in fact, he was suspected of being rude, Fu Gong didn't care.

Fu Shaoting stayed behind and said a few words to everyone, and then said to Zhang Yue: "Sanlang is so young, so talented and knowledgeable, it is really impressive. I wonder if he was married?"

Everyone on the side pricked up their ears.

Fu Shaoting's question was really meaningful.

What kind of family status is the rich family?
Fu Bi's eldest daughter and second daughter married Feng Jing successively.

Who is Feng Jing?

A handsome guy, not only the champion but also the third-round winner.

It is also an anecdote that Feng Jingzhong was the number one scholar. It is said that a minister wanted to make his nephew the number one scholar and asked Feng Jing how good he was, so anyone who bought Feng Jing as the chief examiner was eliminated.

After Feng Jing found out, he changed the name on the paper to 'Ma Liang'.

As soon as the champion came out, it was Ma Liang.

But after Feng Jing won three yuan and the first prize, the emperor's relative Zhang Yaozuo caught Feng Jing's son-in-law on the list and forced Feng Jing to his home, intending to marry his daughter to her.Zhang Yaozuo hosted a banquet, and personally tied a gold belt around his waist and said: "This is the emperor's intention."

How could Feng Jing like such a foreign relative, no matter what the other party said, he firmly refused to agree.Later Feng Jing became Fu Bi's son-in-law.

Feng Jing also left behind the story of "Two married the prime minister's daughter, the third leader of the world".

As for Fu Bi's other two daughters who were married to Fan Dacong and Fan Dagui, although the Fan brothers were surnamed Fan, they had nothing to do with Fan Zhongyan, Fan Yong, and Fan Zhen.Their grandfather, father Fan Yuan, and Fan Jun were not officials, but they had intermarried with wealthy ancestors for generations.After Fu Bi became prime minister, he did not dislike the poor and love the rich, so he let his two daughters continue to marry the Fan family.

Now Fu Bi's two sons-in-law are both honored by the prime minister's father-in-law, and they are both in the shadow of officials.

In addition, Fu Bi heard that he also has a grand-niece, who is now in his boudoir.

Faced with Fu Shaoting's question, someone else would have been thinking about it, but seeing Zhang Yue said without hesitation: "Zhang already has someone in mind, if there is a day in the future when he is a high school scholar, I will go to her home to propose marriage."

Fu Shaoting was a little surprised when he heard the words, and then said with a smile: "Very good, very good, I really don't know which girl is so lucky."

Zhang Yue didn't speak when he heard the words.

At this time, the servant on the side has already said: "Your Majesty respects you."

This already meant to see off the guests, and everyone got up to leave immediately after hearing the words.

After sending Zhang Yue out of the hospital, Fu Shaoting returned to the backyard.

But Fu Bi was already sitting in the hall, talking with his mother and his wife Yan Shi.

Yan Shi is Yan Shu's daughter. In fact, even though Fu Bi scolded his father-in-law in front of the emperor, he relied on the fact that he had always had a good relationship with his father-in-law.

Yan Shu has a good temper, and Fu Bi has this temper.It is estimated that Fu Bi will be fine after kneeling on the washboard for two days after returning home.

This Yan Shi is not an ordinary woman either.

After Fu Bi made his obeisance to the prime minister, Yan helped her mother-in-law into the palace and court, and the wives of other high-ranking officials wore pearls and jade.

But Yan Shi didn't wear it. Someone asked: "You are rarely the prime minister's daughter, but you are often the prime minister's wife. Why are you so frugal on weekdays?"

Yan Shi said: "Xianggong started as a poor scholar. Although he became a prime minister, his salary is enough. Now it is very good to wear a pair of vice-pins and elephant clothes. Don't take the lead in promoting extravagance."

By the way, this Yan family is also what many women in the Song Dynasty want to live their lives.

Yan Shi also had a good relationship with Empress Cao. During the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor gave a banquet to all officials in Xuande Tower, and Yan Shi helped her mother-in-law up the tower. Empress Cao looked at the left and right and praised: "There are women, so there are women. "

"It's Zhang Sanlang who made the Qingyu case?" Yan Shi said, "The crowd searched for him thousands of times, and suddenly I looked back, but the man was in a dimly lit place."

Fu Bi's mother nodded slightly: "How is a person?"

Fu Bi said: "He is a handsome and upright gentleman."

"Are you married?"

Fu Bi laughed and said, "Mom, you are worrying about Su'e again."

Yan Shi laughed and said: "The daughters of the prime minister's family are not easy to marry, and so are the grand-nieces. Su'e lost her mother since she was young, so my mother must help her take care of it."

On the side, Fu Shaoting said: "Reporting to grandma, I just asked, this chapter Sanlang said that he is already interested in someone."

"That's right."

Fu Bi said: "This man is Uncle Ouyang Yong's nephew and a student of Shiu Gu, but he did not hold the name badge of the two when he came to the door. Take a high look."

Ouyang Xiu is Yan Shu's student and has a good relationship with Fu Bi.In Shi Jie Fubi's rebellion case, Ouyang Xiu defended Fubi before the emperor.

As for when Chen Xiang was the county magistrate of Heyang, his boss was Fu Bi.Later, it was Fu Bi who elected Chen Xiang as the school manager of the secret pavilion and the Ministry of Judgment.

That is to say, because of his friendship with Ouyang Xiu and Chen Xiang, Zhang Yue can be regarded as someone on Fu Bi's line, but Zhang Yue didn't mention a word from the beginning to the end.

Fu Bi's mother said: "This is your man's business, I don't care about it. But why are good men in this world... hey."

After talking, Fu Bi's mother left on crutches, and Fu Bi personally supported her to leave.

Both Yan Shi and Fu Shaoting got up to see them off.

Yan Shi looked at Fu Shaoting and said: "It is the rule of our house that no matter how famous you are when you come to the house for the first time, you will not take it lightly if no one recommends you. How did you meet him?"

Fu Shaoting hesitated for a moment before saying: "Mother, it means Su'e."

Yan Shi heard the words: "The family is unfortunate, your father took pity on her loneliness, came from the countryside, and usually did not restrain her, let her show her face outside, but now she is so bold and reckless."

Fu Shaoting said: "It's rare that Su'e has someone she likes. If she is fulfilled, she will definitely abide by women's morals in the future."

Yan Shi didn't speak when he heard the words.

When Zhang Yue walked out from Fu Mansion, the scorching heat had dissipated, the weather turned cloudy, and there was going to be a heavy rain in the afternoon.

But neither in the morning nor at this time.

There are not many people in front of the prime minister's mansion.Even if the weather is about to change, these officials and scholars will still not leave.

The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the success of the world is for profit. This is the same principle from ancient times to modern times.

Zhang Yue glanced at the crowd, only to find that he was one of them.

Zhang Yue thought that the scholars were either as poor as Senior Brother Guo with a backbone, or as vulgar and valuable as He Qi.But most scholars look down on these two types of people, thinking all day how to stand up and make money, and finally fall into the secular world.

The more Zhang thought about it, he couldn't help but look into the distance.

"He Qi hasn't left yet?"

Huang Haoyi pointed to the front, and sure enough, Wang Kui and He Qi were standing at the entrance of the alley and watching from a distance.

Zhang Yue took a look and said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to them, let's find a tea shop to drink tea and avoid the rain."

As soon as everyone arrived at the tea shop, heavy rain came.

Everyone sat and drank tea while lamenting the heavy rain.

When Zhang Yue was in Fu Mansion just now, he answered clearly while seeing everyone's reaction clearly.He looked at Sun Guo, who had been silent all this time, and asked, "Did you mention Mr. Ling Shi, Mr. Shao, in the article you just wrote?"

Sun Guo's face flushed slightly, he had actually included himself in the paper as Shao Yong's disciple, but for some reason the other party didn't reveal it.

But Sun Guo said on the face: "Ashamed, I dare not mention it."

Zhang Yue patted him on the shoulder and said: "You might as well mention it, as the saying goes, the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys."

Sun Guo nodded, then looked at Zhang Yue and asked, "Master Zhai, you said that I work hard, can't I just rely on my talent and learn, and not flatter me to get ahead?"

Speaking of this, Sun Guo immediately regretted and said: "Chief Zhai, I have talked nonsense. In a letter from home, my father said that my second brother is going to get married when he is old, so ask me what I mean first. I am the elder brother, so don't delay the second brother. If you fail the exam, you will go back to Luoyang to get married."

Zhang Yue said: "That's a good thing. When you get married, you need to settle down first, and then study hard. It's the same. You don't have to start a career first and then start a family. You can also start a family first and then start a career."

Sun Guo was silent for a while.

Zhang Yue asked, "What?"

Sun Guodao: "Master Zhai, you also know that my family is poor..."

"how?"

"You have to get married, otherwise the family really has no money to support me and my two younger brothers' education." Sun Guo said in a low voice.

Zhang Yue was taken aback. The Tai student married, and the news spread, which made Sun Guo how to hold his head up in front of his classmates in the future.

Zhang Yue almost blurted out, I will help you.

But Zhang Yue was on the verge of talking, but then he thought, can he help?

It can be helped, of course it is not a big deal to support Sun Guo with his current wealth, but it is not enough to support Sun Guo for a while, but not for a lifetime.

If Sun Guo has not passed the next subject, do you want to help him continue?

People's hearts are unpredictable, sometimes good intentions can turn into malice, and wanton kindness is like hatred.

But this is not in a novel, where the main character gets married first, is looked down upon by others for a while, and finally gets out of the way.

Zhang Yue sighed and poured tea for Sun Guo and said, "Drink tea."

The rain was pouring down.

Huang Haoyi suddenly said: "That's right, Sanlang, have you heard? Brother Cai is an official in Binzhou, and was reported for accepting bribes..."

Cai did have an accident.

Zhang Yue said: "How do you know about this?"

Huang Haoyi immediately explained the reason to Zhang Yue.

Cai Que joined the army as a manager in Binzhou, and was in charge of the investigation of litigation and prisons in a state.Some people bribed Cai Que with money in order to get rid of the crime.

After Cai took the money, he was reported to the supervisor.

Cai Que immediately wrote to his neighbor and classmate Huang Haoqian, hoping to get rid of the crime with his connections.

After hearing this, Zhang Yue understood. Although the Song Dynasty's officials were corrupt and official corruption was a common phenomenon, it was as dark as it could be.But Cai really shouldn't be so careless.

Huang Haoyi said: "I heard from my brother that Brother Cai is the first official, but he has no connections at the top and no one with the market, so he rashly takes money. It's hard not to be accused."

"Senior Brother Cai at least waited until he became familiar with it and understood what money should be taken and what money should not be taken before making a decision. Senior Brother Cai must have not offended anyone in the officialdom when he first arrived, so if he is accused this time, he will accept it. Money that shouldn't be taken."

Zhang Yue said: "But senior brother Cai is not such a greedy and short-sighted person. Before he left, I told him to be cautious at the beginning and respect the end. The first official position does not seek merit but seeks no fault."

Huang Haoyi said: "That's right, I also heard from my elder brother that Senior Brother Cai should not talk about this matter. Even if he passes the test, it will be extremely difficult in his official career in the future. But Senior Brother Cai is also excusable, I heard Said that when he went to Binzhou to take up his post, he owed a lot of money."

When Zhang Yue heard this, he understood.

Jinshi and junior officials, some people go to the local government to serve as officials, use their relationship background to make some political achievements, and then they are promoted to a higher position before trying to develop or revealing their true colors.

Some people are...

Cai Que is indeed not such a short-sighted person, and the reason behind it can only be embarrassing.

Huang Lu cut it off at this moment: "Don't talk about it, Brother Cai won the Jinshi anyway, it seems that I have to wait in the examination room."

Sun Guo sighed, "I don't know when it will be the first."

Huang Haoyi glanced at Zhang Yue and said with a smile: "It will be tall soon."

During the meeting, everyone was in no mood to talk about the upcoming solution test.

Huang Haoyi talked eloquently. At this time, several singers came uninvited and came to sit beside them.

Seeing this scene, Huang Haoyi's face changed suddenly, and he immediately shut up, no longer the way he was joking just now.

Seeing this, Zhang Yue couldn't help laughing, and took out the money to send these girls who were already playing and singing away.

The thunder continued, without Huang Haoyi speaking, everyone lost their interest in talking for a while.

It was raining outside the teahouse.

Most of the pig's head meat on the tea table was eaten, and there were still a few pieces of sesame seed cakes left.

The spout of the teapot on the red clay stove by Dr. Tea is emitting white steam.

Zhang Yue looked at the continuous rain outside, and suddenly remembered the scene when he first saw Seventeen Niang at the Wanyeji Waterfall.

When the boat passed the two sides of the Huai River when entering Beijing, there were continuous reeds on both sides of the river and a market located by the water.

During the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, when he and Shi Qi Niang hurriedly looked at each other, there was a flash of emotion in each other's eyes.

Before the big exam, these unreasonable emotions stirred up his emotions like a dull summer rain.

The scholars in front of the prime minister's mansion fought for a chance for the future, as well as their longing for the future and anxiety about the future, as well as all kinds of troubles, just like boiling water in a tea stove, Zhang Yue's mood was extremely tense.

On the contrary, different emotions came to my heart at this time, the affection of classmates, the yearning of lovers, on the contrary, they are cherished even more at this moment.

After the trial, everything will change again.

At this time, the furnace water boiled.
