Jinyi champion

Chapter 358 Apprenticeship or Trouble?

Fast forward to the end of February.

There was no news from the capital examination, but according to Zhu Hao's estimate, without his suggestions, Gongsunyi basically has no hope of passing the Jinshi exam, unless there is a god's blessing...or he gave Gongsunyi random questions, Unfortunately, he won again, but the possibility of this is basically zero.

That day Tang Yin had nothing to do, went out to listen to an opera with Jiang Lun, did not see Zhu Hao in the theater, and stayed leisurely in the private room until noon, when he saw Lu Song come upstairs.

"Mr. Tang, Uncle Jiang, something happened."

Lu Song was short of breath and looked terrified.

Jiang Lun frowned: "Why are you so panicked?"

Lu Song panted and replied: "The spring sowing started this year, and the seeds we sowed in the fields at the border of Anlu and Xiangyang were bulldozed overnight before they germinated, and the people on duty in the fields were even beaten. His body was covered in bruises, and the whereabouts of several people are unknown, they may have been taken away by the people of Prince Xiang's Mansion."

"Prince Xiang's mansion has eaten the heart of a bear, dare to fight against me, Prince Xing's mansion? Copy guy, let's go!"

Jiang Lun has a bad temper, and he rolled up his sleeves and was ready to do it.

Now that his status in the palace has soared, and he has gotten very close to Tang Yin, the celebrity beside King Xing, he feels that he is capable and can make decisions on everything.

But Lu Song obviously came to talk to Tang Yin, and you, Jiang Lun... just happened to overhear our conversation, so why talk nonsense?

Tang Yin got up: "Then I'll rush back to the palace immediately...Oh, by the way, Lu Dianzhan, have you reported to the higher-ups? What did King Xing say?"

Lu Song said: "Someone has already reported to King Xing, Yuan Changshi, and Zhang Changshi, and I was ordered to come to you."

When something happened, the people from the Wangfu Chief Shisi naturally believed in the two longshis, no matter how bad it was, there would be Zhang Zuo, but because the people from the Wangfu Yiweisi trusted Tang Yin's ability to command in front of the battle, they wanted to ask Tang Yin to call the shots whenever they encountered problems.

"Brother Meng Zai, you and I should hurry back to the palace, it's not good if we miss something."

Tang Yin greeted Jiang Lun to set off.

……

……

On the way back, Tang Yin thought, if he could find Zhu Hao at this time, it would be great to discuss the countermeasures.

Lu Song mentioned at the right time: "...Years ago, Young Master Zhu repeatedly reminded that Prince Xiang's Mansion would not let it go, and would rise up and attack. I wish I hadn't listened to him and sent more people. Now...the Palace has suffered a great loss."

Jiang Lun said: "First of all, we must make sure that the person is safe, and the seedlings can be replanted."

As they talked, the three of them entered the palace, and it happened that the Chengfeng Department of the palace also sent someone to notify Tang Yin, telling him to go see King Xing immediately.

Tang Yin quickened his pace, and asked as he walked, "Have you looked for Zhu Hao?"

Lu Song said: "Today is the twenty-ninth day, Zhu Hao went home to rest and take a bath, it's too late for a short notice."

"Ugh!"

Tang Yin actually sighed in front of everyone, meaning that it was a pity that Zhu Hao was not found. Lu Song and Jiang Lun were greatly surprised by this attitude.

Can Tang Yin really rely on Zhu Hao so much?

What do you want to discuss with Zhu Hao now?
……

……

Zhu Hao really didn't care about what happened in the palace all the time.

He stayed up late last night to record the experimental data, went to bed in the middle of the night, and got up early in the morning. Before he went to the workshop to check the situation of the new loom, Zhu Niang came to inform that the person who had blocked him before had come again.

"It's a scholar surnamed Sun. He said he knew you. My mother doesn't know why he is so persistent. He comes to ask every time. When you are not at home, he turns around and leaves. Today I know you are back. I want to see you desperately, the shop. There are a bunch of people watching at the door, and business can’t be done.”

Zhu Niang was a little angry in her words.

He probably thought that the man at the door should have been offended by his son and came to find fault.

Zhu Hao immediately thought of the person he had bet with Fan Yikuan back then, Sun Ru, a pedantic Confucian student from a wealthy businessman's family.

I thought, this guy came to the door on his own initiative?It's not easy!Is this self-motivated, or is it that I feel resentful to be discussed by others and settle accounts with me?

……

……

When Zhu Hao walked out of his shop, he saw a young Confucian scholar standing at the door. Even though he hadn't seen him for more than a year, he could still recognize that it was Sun Ru who went to the state to pay a visit to Fan Yikuan but got a bad nose.

"Don't talk! I don't want to see your face..."

Zhu Hao spoke first.

"you!"

Sun Ru immediately blushed.

"This is not a place to talk. You have affected my family's business here. Let's go to the side to talk about things!"

While Zhu Hao was talking, he called a few nurses to come and push away the crowd, while Sun Ru also brought a servant with him, and followed behind him step by step.

A few people wanted to leave, and the onlookers wanted to keep up. Some people pointed loudly on purpose, and it was Qian Chuanzi.

Zhu Hao stopped and asked loudly: "Qian Chuanzi, didn't your concubine just have a wedding? The one who was raised outside!"

"what?"

A group of neighbors all turned their heads to look at Qian Chuanzi.

This news was more explosive than when a scholar came to find Zhu Hao, and a group of people immediately surrounded Qian Chuanzi.

Qian Chuanzi hurriedly said: "When did I have a foreign house? Don't listen to that kid's nonsense!"

"No, Qian Chuanzi, I heard that you have made money recently. In this street, your business was suppressed by Zhu Niang in the past. Now Zhu Niang has switched to pen and ink business. You should be prosperous here, right? Really rich Marry a concubine?"

"Aunt Li, you can't talk nonsense."

"Who is talking nonsense? Hurry up and tell the truth!"

"fart……"

Qian Chuanzi was watched by a group of people eating melons, Zhu Hao took the opportunity to take Sun Ru across the street, and after crossing two streets, he found a restaurant and went up to the second floor, just in time to eat something good at the restaurant.

……

……

"Sit down, what do you want from me? If you ask the teacher, I can help you, but if you came to me to settle accounts because of the grievances between me and Fan Xuezheng before, you'd better not open your mouth."

Zhu Hao's attitude was a little cold.

Sun Ru sneered endlessly: "How talented am I? Do I need to ask you? Just say that you bet me with Fan and was laughed at. Do you know how much damage to my reputation has been caused?"

Zhu Hao thought to himself, to say that you are pedantic is really rotten wood that cannot be carved!
How many people want to worship me as a teacher, because I casually bet you with Fan Yikuan, you have this opportunity, you still don't take advantage of it, come here to blow your beard and stare at me?If you are more open-minded, maybe I will help you become a student, let you get a fame and honor your ancestors.

"Did you know that I have been admitted to the county's top case, and I will be a student after the hospital examination this year?" Zhu Hao asked.

"Naturally, what is there to brag about?"

Sun Ru sat down and stared at Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao said: "Then you must pass the hospital exam this year?"

Sun Ru proudly said, "It's natural."

"No, why did you come to me? You didn't come to bet with me, did you? How about this, you and I each put out a hundred taels of silver as a bet. If you can pass the entrance examination, the hundred taels I will give it to you for free, if you fail the exam, how about you give me a hundred taels of silver?"

Zhu Hao proposed.

"This...Of course not."

Although Sun Ru is pedantic, he has a bright mind.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Aren't you very confident? Then you should have a high probability of being admitted to the middle school, right? More than half of the chance, why don't you bet with me?"

Zhu Hao's purpose was naturally not for the one hundred taels of silver.

The purpose of the bet with Fan Yikuan is the same, if there is a bet, as long as this guy doesn't come to cause trouble for himself, even if this guy is really a high school student... Although the probability of this is almost zero, Zhu Hao can still afford to pay a hundred taels of.

"I'm not good at gambling."

Sun Ru held her head high, looking proud.

Zhu Hao nodded: "The character is quite upright... How about this, let's change the bet, if you can pass the entrance examination, I will still give you one hundred taels, but if you fail the exam, just give me ten taels of silver ...One pays ten, it should be okay now, right?"

"You... you insulted me?"

Sun Ru heard it again.

Zhu Hao clearly looked down on him, thinking that he must fail the student exam so confidently that he bet on him to lose with odds of [-] to [-].

Zhu Hao said: "I insult you? I'm giving you a chance to make money... Aren't you very confident? Why, you won't even accept a ten-for-one bet? How dare you tell me that I insulted you Afraid you are insulting yourself, right?"

When Sun Ru heard this, her face flushed red, she felt a sense of indignation at being so humiliated, and she almost jumped up to fight Zhu Hao desperately.

"Young master Zhu, calm down first."

The old servant who had been following Sun Ru came out, "It's like this, my young master came to visit specially at the old lady's order. I hope you don't blame me if I offended you before."

This is when even the servants can't stand listening, and start to tear down the platform of their own young master.

Zhu Hao said: "The old lady you are talking about is..."

"It's the high hall of my young master." The old servant said.

"Oh, what does the old lady mean... let your young master learn from me? Or come to bet against me? Or settle accounts with me?" Zhu Hao asked with a smile.

The old servant said: "My old lady hopes that the young master can get your advice, and get admitted as a student as soon as possible, so that my Sun family's lintel can be honored. If it is done... I thank you with generous gifts, even if my young master worships you as a teacher."

When Zhu Hao heard it, it's ok, boy.

Your old lady has far more vision than you!

If it weren't for you having a good mother, let's see how I amuse you today, so that you can't get along in the local shilin, believe it or not?

Since your old lady entrusted a servant to intercede, then I will spare you for the time being.

"That's right. I'm usually busy with studying, so I don't have much time to teach my disciples..." Zhu Hao laughed.

The old servant nodded and bowed flatteringly: "Young Master Zhu's background, we have all found out. You are the son of the Zhu family, a family of thousands of families in Jinyiwei, and your father is a loyal general who is loyal to the country. Although you did not inherit the position of military household, But you are studying in the palace, and you are guided by a famous teacher... Fan Xuezheng was a teacher in the palace, and I heard that even a scholar like Yuan Changshi praised your knowledge..."

Zhu Hao thought to himself, I am very careful in your investigation.

Did you know that Tang Yin is also teaching in the palace?
Seeing what you mean, he has the potential to be a Jinyiwei, and he has been so thorough in inquiring about the news.

"What my old lady means is that if you are willing to accept my young master as a disciple, my young master's studies will all depend on you in the future. Since you dare to boast that you have made a bet with Fan Xuezheng, if you think you have such confidence, my old lady is also optimistic and thinks that you can raise Point to my young master to successfully obtain the honor in the examination."

When it came to the end, it seemed that Zhu Hao was on the sidelines.

It probably means that if you don't accept it, your reputation will be damaged.
