Prime Minister

Chapter 98 Jianyang (Thanks~~Love!~~Shuangmeng,)
After the New Year, the Yu family prepared new clothes for Zhang Shi, Zhang Yue, and Zhang Qiu.

Zhang Yue is a new piece of robe. The armpits on both sides of this robe are not stitched, so it can be worn over a tee.

In the past, this Beizi was worn by people of low status, but in the Song Dynasty, all men and women of some status wore a Beizi over their clothes, and now Zhang Yue also has one.We are finally human.

It is said that the front of the robe is facing the front, and it is not tied with belts and buttons, so it is called 'uncontrolled quilt'.

After the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by Jin, Beizi took the blame, and if he did not make money, he would not cure the gold.

Zhang Shi looked at Zhang Yue wearing a robe, and couldn't help but say with satisfaction: "The third brother now looks more like an official. Madam, you look good in this robe, and when you meet Zhou Xuezheng, he I must think that the third brother is a good person."

Yu was very happy to hear her husband's praise.

Zhang Shi said again: "Have you found the place where Jianyang settled down?"

Zhang Yue said: "I've already found a place. I have a lot of dealings with a bookseller in Jianyang, the head of my Jingshengzhai. I'm going to Jianyang this time, and we happen to be staying at his place."

Zhang Shi said: "How good is this? I rashly disturb others. My father-in-law happens to live in Jianyang. The third brother went to Jianyang to stop by and take a break."

Zhang Yue glanced at Mrs. Yu, but he didn't answer when he saw her: "Brother, no need, I'm going to Jianyang in a hurry, I made a special trip to Kaoting to visit, I'm afraid it's too much delay, let me go to my sister-in-law's house in the future. A visit is."

Yu did not speak.

Zhang Shi said: "I don't want you to go to Kaoting, madam, doesn't Lao Taishan have a three-entry mansion in the city? No one lives there on weekdays, but only servants take care of it. It happened that the third brother went to Yun to live for him. lodging."

Yu was about to say something, but Zhang Yue already said, "Sister-in-law, I can handle the matter of going to the state school to find a school."

The sister-in-law nodded and said, "Sanlang, let me pack my luggage."

After speaking, my sister-in-law went upstairs.

Zhang Yue said to Zhang Shi in a low voice, "Brother, our family is already bothering my sister-in-law too much, and I don't dare to cause any more trouble."

"What do you know? I wasted my time." Zhang Shi was a little annoyed.

"Brother, what does this mean?"

Zhang Shi said: "My father-in-law has a wide range of contacts in Jianyang. Before you go to see Zhou Xuezheng, you should go to his house to meet him. Wouldn't he ask someone to help you? As long as there is a competent person for you In other words, not to mention going to Nanjing Guozijian, and even Bianjing can go there."

"Let's not talk about trouble or trouble, our Zhang family has made a fortune, won't we help him in the future? My father-in-law is a fine person and will definitely help you with this. So is your sister-in-law. She didn't speak, but you still helped Xi'er enter the clan school. This woman is easy to forget her kindness and vengeance.

Zhang Yue thought to himself that if he could help, Yu would have spoken long ago.

Zhang Yue said: "Brother, sister-in-law is a good sister-in-law, don't blame her. Otherwise, it will cool her heart!"

"I can save it."

Zhang Yue was about to go back to the north room to rest, but saw Yu's door open and come out from the south room.

"Sister-in-law!"

Yu nodded and said: "Third brother, there are some things that your brother was here just now, I can't say, but now I'll get to the bottom of it with you. My father and brother were already dissatisfied with Shilang, if they hadn't looked at Xi'er. Keep it up, I'm afraid it will be early..."

"I won't lie to you, since your brother came here, he made a lot of money, and he has to pay for your brothers and Xi'er to study. I have been using dowry money to subsidize the family. Last time, your second brother escaped marriage, and Zhao Yasi evacuated. In our family, the rest of my dowry was also swept away. I borrowed [-] taels of money from my father and brother."

"Now that the [-] pieces of money have not been repaid, how can I open this up to my father and my brother? I also want face in my parents' house."

Zhang Yue thought to himself that his brother used dowry money to subsidize his family. It would be too embarrassing to say it. No wonder his father-in-law and eldest brother-in-law had opinions.And a lot of these expenses are spent on myself and my second brother.

Now, don't you go to Jianyang and find someone else to scold you?
Zhang Yue said: "sister-in-law, I used to be the one who spent the family's money indiscriminately..."

Yu said: "I'm not scolding you for what you used to be. Now you can study and make progress, and you have raised money to reopen the shop. I don't know how happy I am. Your brother is messing with money, but it's good for me and Xi'er. All the money the shop has made in the past six months is in my hands.”

"It's just that I don't give the money back to my father without your brothers' consent."

Zhang Yue said: "I was raised by my brother and sister-in-law, and I don't have anything to say about how my sister-in-law should deal with the family's money, not to mention the eighty."

The next day.

Zhang Yue immediately carried his luggage and entered the county school.

Zhang Yue and Guo Lin together handed over the three historical policies to Hu Xuezheng for review.

Hu Xuezheng saw Zhang Yue's article and said with a smile: "It's well written, it's remarkable, I didn't want to help you, I wanted you to think about it yourself, but I didn't expect it to be so well written, to be honest, right? Have you asked Mr. Boyi to read it first?"

Zhang Yue looked stiff and said, "Xue Zhenghuiyan..."

Hu Xuezheng said with a smile: "Mr. Boyi is a famous Confucian in the world. I am too happy for him to change your article."

Zhang Yue said with a relaxed smile: "Thank you Xuezheng."

After finishing speaking, Hu Xuezheng read Guo Lin's article again and said, "Where's your strategy? Have your father changed it too?"

Guo Lin hesitated and said, "Yes, sir."

Hu Xuezheng looked at it and said, "It's also good."

Immediately Hu Xuezheng said: "But the three historical policies are just a passing scene. You should be careful when you see the state Xue Xuezheng. I heard that the state will elect a scholar, a scholar, and a student to go to Bian. Jing Guozijian, two jinshi, two subjects, and one student go to Nanjing Guozijian, both of you have a great chance.”

"But if you don't get selected, the state school will most likely invite you to stay at the state school. You must not agree to this matter. If you return to the county, the county school will exempt you from the five-year fasting money, and it will be a few years later. You can also get rations."

Zhang Yue and Guo Lin said yes together.

Zhang Yue and Guo Lin walked out of Hu Xuezheng's fasting house, in a different mood.

Guo Lindao: "I heard that Zhou Xue likes to go to each county school to grab people. No wonder Xue Zheng has changed from the original three-year fast to five years."

Zhang Yue said, "Aren't you sighing? In the past, people hated people, and dogs hated dogs, but now it's you who are vying for me."

Guo Lin smiled and said, "I definitely won't go to the prefecture. If I go to the prefecture, it will be difficult to go back to Wuxi to see my parents once."

"Then Bianjing, you are willing to go to the Imperial College in Nanjing, why can't you go to the state?"

Guo Lin sighed: "After all, it is easier to pay tribute to the Imperial College. If you study for a few years and pass the spring exam, your parents will not have to work at such an old age. But if you really go to the Imperial College, you will want to leave your parents. For many years, I was still reluctant."

Zhang Yue comforted: "Don't do this, the prison students can come back to visit relatives, but our home is too far from Bianjing and Nanjing."

The night before the departure to Jianyang, the two of them were over and over thinking about their thoughts, and they didn't sleep well.

This kind of mood is not only full of anticipation and longing for the road ahead, but also a little uneasy, as well as nostalgia for the family in my hometown. Mixed with such different emotions, it makes people feel ups and downs for a while.

On this day, Zhang Yue, Guo Lin, and He Qi bid farewell to Hu Xuezheng and went to Jianyang Prefecture to study together.

The three tried to walk along the stream first, then crossed the mountain, and finally reached the water's edge. It took a day's trek to reach Jianyang.

Jianzhou three things, Jianben, Jianzhan, Jiancha.

Among them, Jianben is located in Jianyang.

Zhang Yue, Guo Lin, and He Qi came to Chonghua this time, and they naturally had the feeling of being a scholar and worshipping the sage.The place where Zhang Yue stayed was also in the house of a bookseller in Chonghua.

The three of them arrived here, but they saw that there were more than [-] bookstores with hall names within a radius of the book area.When you come here, you can smell the fragrance of ink everywhere, and you can see the scholars brought by Eguanbo everywhere.

The three of Zhang Yue walked into a bookstore on the corner of the street. The bookseller's surname was Yu, and they had dealt with Zhang Yue before, and they were now entertaining the three of them to sit down and drink tea.

While feeling the noisy atmosphere outside the bookstore, Zhang Yue chatted with the bookseller surnamed Yu.

At this time, I watched the curtain move aside, as if someone was peeping from behind.

The bookseller surnamed Yu smiled and said, "This must be my niece. She has no parents since she was a child, so she was fostered here. Yun Ruo came out to meet the guests."

"This..." Guo Lin felt inappropriate at first.

The bookseller surnamed Yu smiled and said, "The women in our merchant's family don't have so many rules."

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a [-]-year-old woman came out.The other party is wearing a ru skirt, and her appearance is six or seven points. I don't know why she looks a bit pitiful, so her style adds a lot to her.

"These three are all scholars in Pucheng County. They met Xuezheng in Zhizhou. Now they are staying at our house. Come and see you."

The other party Yingying saluted: "The slave family has seen three scholars."

Zhang Yue and Guo Lin both stood up and saluted, while He Qi was a little slow.

Only then did the woman look up at Zhang Yue, Guo Lin, and He Qi.Zhang Yue was wearing new clothes, and he was tall and handsome. Guo Lin was wearing a cloth robe. Although it was washed cleanly, it was patched in inconspicuous places. As for He Qi, he was also extraordinary, but the other party's eyes were a bit sharp, which made people dare not dare. look at each other.

Yu Shushang said: "I have something important to do at the counter. Yun Ruo, you should talk to a few guests first. I'll go back when I go."

Having said that, Yu Shushang strode away.

Zhang Yue, Guo Lin and Yu Yunruo looked at each other and felt embarrassed, while He Qi was drinking tea by himself.

The three of them had a chat, but Yu Yunruo looked at Zhang Yue and asked timidly, "Jun Saburo, can you ask the slave family, what do your two brothers do for a living?"

Zhang Yue was a little cautious, and answered truthfully: "The eldest brother is running a restaurant, and the second brother is studying in Beijing, and we haven't heard from each other for a long time."

Yu Yunruo asked, "Why don't you get the news? Is there any difficulty with the second brother?"

Zhang Yue said, "I don't know that."

Yu Yunruo said with a smile: "Bianjing is thousands of miles away from Pucheng, and there is no business trip when letters come and go. I think there must be some reason for it. Lord Saburo need not worry, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge."

Zhang Yue smiled bitterly, where is there something wrong?

But Zhang Yue still said: "Thank you for the kindness of the lady of the Yu family."
