marquis of jingan

Chapter 136
Following a poem by Qin Huai, who didn't even have a title in the poem, Shen Yi's fame spread almost all over the capital.

This reputation even spread to the ears of some court chiefs.

For example, Zhao Changping, the servant of the household department.

As the servant of the household department, Zhao Changping is busy with work on weekdays. Although he was born at the second place in the ranking, Zhao Changping at this time has no mind to write and write, let alone pay attention to the Shangyuan poetry meeting.

Therefore, Shen Yi's poem never reached his ears.

Until Zhang Jian, the county magistrate of Jiangdu, visited the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Originally, a county magistrate, without an appointment from the household department officials, was unlikely to be able to enter the household department's yamen, but Mr. Zhang's background is too strong, there is an old man who is the prime minister, and a teacher who is the household department servant, so it's like this He entered the household department in an open and honest manner, and came to the public house of Zhao Shilang, the household department.

At this time, County Magistrate Zhang entered Zhao Changping's classroom with two paper bags in his hand, smiling. He first put down the paper bags, and then bowed to Zhao Changping respectfully.

"Meet the teacher."

Zhao Changping was dealing with business at the moment, and after hearing Zhang Jian's voice, he looked up at his student, then at the paper bag on his desk, with a faint smile on his face: "Yi An Didn’t you go back to Jiangdu to take up a post when you were sixteen? It’s only been a few days, why did you come back to the capital again?”

"Grandma's health is not very good. The disciple just returned to Jiang for a few days, and her old man became seriously ill. I had to come back to see. The student has already asked Chen Fuzun and the officials for half a year's leave. I will spend more time with her in the capital. grandmother."

Zhang Jian's grandfather is one of the prime ministers in the Zhongshu Provincial Council, and his grandmother is naturally Zhang Xiang's original wife.

After Zhao Shilang heard these words, he frowned slightly: "Is the old lady all right?"

"The students rushed back early in the morning. After seeing my grandmother, she is much better now."

Speaking of this, County Magistrate Zhang sighed slightly: "From childhood to adulthood, the old man loves the disciple the most. The old lady can't stand the disciple leaving Jiangdu."

Hearing that the old lady was fine, the expression on Zhao Shilang's face eased a little, he looked at the paper bag on his desk, and said with a smile: "You are a seventh-rank county magistrate, bring things in an upright manner, come to the Ministry of Households to give me gifts , aren't you afraid that the censor will come to you?"

"This is Jiangdu's square cake."

Zhang Jian smiled heartily, and said, "I heard Master Lu said that the teacher likes this, so my disciple brought some here."

Zhao Shilang nodded slightly, pointed to the chair opposite him, and said, "Pour tea yourself, then sit down and talk."

Zhang Jian nodded quickly, got up and poured tea for Zhao Shilang and herself, then sat opposite Zhao Changping, and said with a smile: "Just after returning to the capital, I heard that our Ganquan Academy has produced another famous person in the capital."

Zhao Shilang had just picked up the teacup at this moment, and his movements froze when he heard the words. He looked at Zhang Jian and asked, "What celebrity?"

Zhang Jian was very surprised: "The teacher doesn't know?"

Zhao Shilang shook his head slightly, and his tone was rather helpless: "At the beginning of the year, the household department was very busy. You also know that Liu Shangshu is getting old, and many things are on the teacher. During this time, the teacher is almost living in the household. Department, and haven’t even been home a few times.”

Hearing what the teacher said, Zhang Jian smiled: "Old man Liu is so old, and he still occupies the position of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and does not move. I want my disciples to tell me that someday I will find someone to beat this old man, so that the old man will be punished." He obediently told his old man to go back to his hometown, and handed over the position of Shangshu to the teacher, and the errands in the household department were cleared up."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Zhao Shilang glared at his disciple who likes to joke, and then slowly said: "You just said, there is another celebrity in our Ganquan Academy, what's going on?"

Only then did Zhang Jian tell Zhao Changping the ins and outs of what he heard, and then read the poem again, and said softly: "Teacher, when I was at home just now, my brother said that this poem has two endings. , one ending was read by the disciple just now, and the other ending is..."

"Who will lament the rise and fall."

Zhang Jian said slowly: "However, the second ending can only be heard among the officials and eunuchs in Jiankang City. It's hard to tell whether it's true or not, but..."

The county magistrate of Jiangdu smiled, and said: "But this Shen Yi and Shen Qilang, I met when I was in Jiangdu. He was still a student of Uncle Lu. At that time, my disciple saw that this person was honest and honest. I didn't want to be like this Well, as soon as we arrived in the capital, a poem caused a sensation in Jiankang, even alarmed..."

"It alarmed His Majesty."

"Students of Jizhong..."

Zhao Shilang narrowed his eyes slightly, thoughtfully.

Jizhong is Lu Anshi's nickname.

Zhang Jian also smiled and said, "When the teacher is free, do you want to meet this Shen Qilang?"

Zhao Shilang was silent for a while, then shook his head slightly: "The household department will be busy for at least a month. During this time, I really don't have time to be a teacher. Besides, since he came to Jiankang to take the exam, he will prepare for it. See you now He just distracts him."

"Let's talk about it after the hospital has tried it."

What Zhao Shilang said seemed to be for Shen Yi's sake, but as a disciple, Zhang Jian knew very well that if Shen Yi could not even pass the college examination, it would be impossible for him to meet Zhao Changping, the "uncle of the same school".

Speaking of this, Zhao Changping looked at Zhang Jian who was sitting opposite him, and said calmly: "But Yi An, you have some free time. If you have nothing to do, you can go and see this Shen Yi."

Zhang Jian smiled and said: "The teacher thinks highly of me. Shen Yi is now living in Prince Jin's mansion, so it's not something that disciples can see whenever they want."

Zhao Shilang frowned again.

He looked down at the mountains of papers on his desk and let out a long breath: "Being tired of the papers, I don't know many things in the capital. It seems that I can't sit at this table every day." On the case, otherwise your eyes will be darkened and you will not be able to see anything."

"The teacher is busy."

Zhang Jian smiled.

"However, the disciple is very free. I also know a lot of people in Jiankang. If the teacher wants to know something, the disciple will ask you."

Zhao Shilang stood up from the chair and stretched slightly.

"Since Yi An has nothing to do, let's try to figure out what His Majesty means."

.....................

At this time, Shen Yi was still at the gate of Xuezheng Yamen.

The gate of the Xuezheng Yamen was crowded with people. Fortunately, after all, it was not an announcement of the results, but an announcement of the exam time. After spending some time, Shen Yi squeezed to the front and saw the announcement of the Xuezheng Yamen.

This year's hospital exam is scheduled for the fourth day of March.

In other words, there is still a month and a few days.

Generally, the time for the hospital examination is in March or April in the spring. This time is still a regular time, which is very reasonable.

At the same time, this exam is also very important for Shen Yi now.

After passing this exam, he is a scholar of this era. With some basic social status and life skills, the pressure of survival in the future will be lower.

After finally getting out of the crowd, Shen Yi glanced at the crowd at the gate of Xuezheng Yamen, and saw a few acquaintances.

Or a few classmates.

The most conspicuous one is Chen Changming, the head of the Jiangdu prefectural examination this year.

But Shen Yi saw him, but he didn't see Shen Yi, he was still squeezed in the crowd.

After seeing a few classmates, Shen Yi turned around and left without saying a word.

Now he is considered a little celebrity in the capital, and he needs to "travel in a low-key way", but he can't be called out by these classmates, otherwise there will definitely be some troubles.

After finally getting out of the crowd, Shen Yi patted Xu Fu on the shoulder who was following him.

"Let's leave Xiaoxu, let's go to Dongshi."

Xu Fuben was right next to Shen Yi. Hearing this, he hurriedly followed, lowered his head and asked, "Master, are you going to buy something in the East Market?"

Shen Yi glanced back at Xu Fu, and gave the latter a blank look.

"Not to buy things, but to see what we can sell in Dongshi."

Xu Fu nodded, he understood.

According to my son, this seems to be called...

market research?
