Wear ancient times with a house

Chapter 304 Situation

After hearing such news, everyone lost their minds about playing. Those present were either civil servants in the political center, or future civil servants with relatives in the battlefield at home. There is still some sensitivity to this. When you can’t buy flowers, go early Going back to inquire about the news is the right way.

In fact, since the palace examination, the prospective Jinshi who completed the task began to call friends and make friends in the same year. It was nothing more than grouping according to background, hometown, and grades, and it was also mixed with testing each other's talents and learning abilities.

After Song Nian went to one or two games, he didn't go there very much. After deciding to spend a few days with his family, he concentrated on preparing for the Shuji selection exam.

That's right, you still have to take the test.

It's not that everything will be fine if you pass the Jinshi exam, it's just the beginning of your official career.In fact, the selection exam and subsequent assignments are the most important.

The best would definitely be to go to the Hanlin Academy. The three of the top three, as the academic gods among the top scholars, can directly enter the Imperial Academy without taking the exam.

If other people want to fight for it, they have to pass this selection test, perform well, have good enough grades, and show a sufficiently deep level of learning before they can enter the Imperial Academy.

Song Nian didn't want to enter the Hanlin Academy. He had no power, influence, or connections, and he didn't have enough skills to make a living. Getting in was purely a matter of making up numbers. Being safe was safe, decent and decent, but there wasn't much room for advancement.

Moreover, the whole family lives in the capital, and the salary is so little, I am afraid that they will have to work hard all their lives like Zheng Hanlin, and they can't even earn a big house in the capital when they are old.

It's just that if you don't want to enter the Imperial Academy, it doesn't mean you can paddle in the selection exam. After all, if you want to find a better real job, you have to show your ability.

Then put your life on the test, show what you can do, and then make friends with others, then you can get twice the result with half the effort, otherwise it would be useless to spend a long time brushing your face and pulling your hips when doing things.

However, Song Nian felt that preparing for the next exam was more important than socializing at this time, but if he wanted to inquire about news, he really had to go there.

After all, with so many people coming and going, you don't know what abilities they have at home or what sources of information they have.

Now that the military situation has arrived in Beijing, I am afraid that all eyes will be on the war thousands of miles away in the past few days.

Even if there is a difference between civil and martial arts, a group of people who have just been admitted to Jinshi must pay more attention. As long as Song Nian goes with his ears, the news will naturally be stuffed into it for free.

Song Nian inquired about it, and learned that there was a flower viewing party on the second day, and it was the kind that most people would attend in the same year, so he decided to join in the fun.

For someone like Song Nian who is indifferent, has no outstanding talents, and has no one to help spread his reputation, others don't care too much whether he goes or not, but if he wants to go, no one will stop him.

Early the next morning, Song Nian, Wang Qi, and Zhao Yanlin brothers went to the flower viewing feast.

He was not the only one who went out early and was sent home only after being drunk, Wang Qi was also like this.

This is so strange, Song Nian is not a person who doesn't drink alcohol. When he has nothing to do, he will have a few dishes and drink some wine to relieve fatigue, but he rarely gets drunk. He will not indulge himself to get drunk.

He couldn't ask anything to the drunk person, but it could be seen that he was not in a high mood and was a little dull.

Shen shi boiled the wine soup, poured a thick bowl for him, changed the dirty clothes for him, and put him on the bed to sleep.

Then she went to Song Yun's side, and saw her daughter lying on the bed turning left and right, but she just didn't sleep, a smile appeared on the corner of Shen's mouth, and then disappeared quickly.

Song Yun was actually secretly reading a novel, so he tossed and couldn't sleep, and didn't even notice that someone came in.

But when Shen Shi approached, her gaze was still on her body, no matter how slow Song Yun was, she noticed it, and when she turned her head, she saw that her mother's face was a little sad.

What's going on here?
Thinking about the state of his father's return, and thinking about the reason why he went to the banquet, could it be that there is something wrong with Xu Zhiqing?
But he is an ordinary civil servant, even if there is something wrong with him, he will not be specifically mentioned in the emergency military situation, right?

Unless it is death, you have to die for the country or die by defecting...

Song Yun sat up and asked hesitantly:
"Mother, what's the matter? Could it be my uncle..."

Shen quickly waved her hands, it's not good to say, Xu Zhiqing was already in a dangerous place, and it would be unlucky to say something wrong with him at this time, she replied:
"That's not true. Your father didn't say anything, and he was very drunk. I just think that it's rare for him to be so drunk. Did something happen?"

It is true that something has happened. How much does it have to do with the Song family at this time? It really doesn't, at least it doesn't have a direct relationship.

Even this matter is good news in a certain sense, but the problems revealed behind it make people unable to cheer up.

From November last year to May this year, the war that lasted for half a year has come to an end, with a narrow victory and a miserable victory.

No one thought of this.

The Zhou family, that is, the grandfather's family of King Jin, has been stationed at the border from generation to generation since the founding of the Wei Dynasty. Apart from a big victory at the beginning of the founding of the country, although small frictions have continued, overall the situation has been stable.

In the decades of peace, too many people have forgotten the aggression from the nomads, and too many people are proud of the strength of the dynasty. It is inevitable to be shocked to be so aggrieved suddenly.

Officials in the court, the first reaction is naturally to pursue responsibility, to pursue the responsibility of the guard.

Especially in such a situation where the storage position has not been determined, the muddy water is stirred up even more muddy, and a few mud spots are splashed on the people watching from the other side from time to time.

This is an aspect that worries Song Nian. It just so happens that he is going to be an official at this time. Isn't he caught in the ocean of partisan struggle every minute?

The second is the problem reflected in the booklet sent by the border.

The nomads in the north consisted of several ethnic groups and several small regimes. For the people of the Wei Dynasty, they were collectively called Hu people.

And people of insight will more or less understand one thing, that is, Hu people are not one with Hu people.

But now, what is absolutely unexpected is that they have really become one.

For the Hu people, this may be a good thing. A hero who is rare in a century has appeared, and quickly united small tribes with different interests and different demands to fight for a common goal:

That is to rob money, food, territory, and everything they covet in the Wei Dynasty.

But for Wei Chao, it was a bolt from the blue.

As a person who has been educated in Confucianism for so many years, Song Nian has more or less feelings for the country and the people. Hearing such things, how could he not be worried?
What's more, not only did the situation change, Song Nian and Wang Qi were also caught off guard.
