Chapter 155 The First Boss

Zhang Jian's teacher, household servant Zhao Changping!

If Shen Yi's teacher, Lu Anshi, is a big boss hidden in the rural academy, then this servant of the household department is the real big boss of the court.

At the level of the six ministers, they are already considered senior officials in the court, especially the servants of the upper three, that is, the three ministers of rites, officials, and households. They have the greatest potential, because these three ministers are likely to step into Zhongshu pays homage to the Prime Minister!
Especially the minister of the Ministry of Rites, many prime ministers have stepped into the center from the position of the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites can be called the "Prime Minister".

And now, this servant of the household department... wants to see himself?

Shen Yi silently raised his head, looked at Zhang Jian, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Senior brother, you said last time that I can only see my uncle after I win the exam."

Zhang Jian has a humorous personality, winked at Shen Yi when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Jiankang Institute has passed the No. 2 exam, is it difficult to get one of the candidates?"

Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "Brother, others don't know, but I still know myself. My knowledge is here, and it's nothing to be a scholar, but it's not easy to be a candidate."

After saying that, Shen Yi turned his head to look at the bookshelves in Liquan Building, and said with a wry smile: "No, after being selected as a scholar, I still feel a little guilty, so I came here specially to look through the books."

"What's wrong with that?"

Zhang Jian looked calm, and said lightly: "Your fame is your ability."

He smiled mysteriously at Shen Yi: "Your senior brother, I passed the boy's test at the age of 14, and I was awarded the Jinshi at the age of 22. Everyone in Jiankang City calls me a child prodigy. Is it possible that I am really a child prodigy?" gone?"

Shen Yi stared at Zhang Jian with wide eyes, and did not speak for a long time.

Zhang Xianzun patted Shen Yi's shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I didn't cheat on my brother. I have been studying since I was a child. Although I don't have much knowledge, I have some knowledge. But if I came from a farming family, most of my knowledge is now That’s a talent.”

"The key to this is that when you step into the officialdom in the future, you will gradually understand."

After saying this, Zhang Jian patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, and said slowly: "Recently, the errands in the household department are finally over, the teacher will take a rest tomorrow, and you will wait for me in the Liquan building tomorrow afternoon, and I will take you to the teacher's residence." How about visiting the teacher?"

Seeing Shen Yi's hesitation, Zhang Xianzun's face became serious, and he said: "My teacher and your teacher are good friends in the same class and best friends in the same year. So far, the two of them have been writing letters. After I arrived in Jiangdu, even the Fuzun didn't Going to see him, I immediately went to the academy to visit Uncle Lu, after you arrive in Jiankang, shouldn't you go see my teacher?"

It's not that Shen Yi doesn't want to meet Zhao Shilang, but he just feels that his status is low, and it may not be appropriate to meet him. Hearing what Zhang Jian said, there is naturally no room for him to refuse. He nodded silently: "Okay, tomorrow At noon, I am here waiting for senior brother."

"it is good."

Zhang Jian smiled at Shen Yi: "After my teacher returns home from work on weekdays, it is difficult for ordinary people to see him, and you are an exception, Junior Brother."

The two teachers and brothers chatted a few more gossips, then Zhang Jian got up and left, while Shen Yi continued to study in Liquan Building.

In the afternoon of the next day, the two met downstairs in the Liquan Building. Zhang Jian jumped into a carriage, and then pulled Shen Yi into it. The carriage started slowly and drove towards Zhao Shilang's mansion.

Jiankang City is full of people coming and going, there are many carriages, carts and various means of transportation. When passing the carriage, there is a bit of congestion. It took about half an hour for the carriage to stop at the main entrance of Zhao Shilang. Zhang Jian jumped out of the carriage first, and then took Shen Yi together, striding towards the gate of Zhao Mansion.

The servants of the Zhao Mansion obviously recognized Zhang Jian, and when they saw Zhang Jian, they all lowered their heads and called "Master Zhang", and let Zhang Jian in without any hindrance.

Shen Yi followed behind Zhang Jian, and couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional: "Brother, you're so proud of yourself."

"It's not that I have a big face, it's that I have a thick skin."

While walking, Zhang Jian said in a low voice with a smile on her face: "The teacher back then agreed to come to my house to teach me because of my grandfather's face. He didn't like me to some extent, but I have a thick skin. The teacher was long and short. After I grew up, I would visit his house with some things every three days, and after a long time, he gradually fell in love with me."

Zhang Xianzun was holding something in both hands at the moment, he showed Shen Yi the gift he was carrying, and smiled: "The son of the teacher's family is not up to date, and my relationship with him will be better in a few years, say Maybe the family business can give me a share."

"..."

Zhang Jian is obviously very familiar with the terrain of Zhao's mansion, just like his own home, he led Shen Yi to walk left and right in the mansion, and asked several servants of Zhao's family, after confirming that Zhao Changping was in the study, he led Shen Yi straight He ran to the study and knocked on the door of the study carelessly.

"Teacher, I brought Junior Brother Shen to see you coming."

Although Zhang Jian had a witty temper, she was a little more honest now. After saying this, she obediently waited at the door without any further urging.

After a while, a Zhongzheng and peaceful voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Zhang Jian pushed the door open with a smile and walked in, while Shen Yi took a deep breath, followed Zhang Jian, and stepped into Zhao Shilang's study.

This is... the six servants.

Before this, Shen Yi had no contact with any high-ranking official, the biggest official he had met and talked to was Chen Yu, the prefect of Jiangdu.

Although Chen Yu is a fourth-rank official, and Zhao Changping, the servant, is only a third-rank official, and the difference in official rank between the two is only one rank, but the powers of the two can be said to be very different.

Even if Chen Yu stood in front of Zhao Shilang at this moment, he would probably be respectful.

Finally, Shen Yi followed Zhang Jian and came to Zhao Changping's study. Zhang Jian knew the way well, put the two paper bags in his hand on the table beside him, smiled and said to Zhao Changping: "Teacher, here's I bought pastries from Qingsu Shop."

Zhao Changping seemed to be writing a letter at the moment. After hearing Zhang Jian's words, he didn't even raise his eyelids, and still lowered his head to write the letter.

Shen Yi took this opportunity to take a look at Zhao Changping.

This Minister Zhao has a beard and a dignified appearance, which shows that he was also a handsome guy when he was young.

After a quick glance, Shen Yi bowed his head respectfully and bowed to the household servant.

"Jiangdu Shen Yi, pay my respects to Master Zhao."

At this time, it is definitely inappropriate to call Zhao Shilang. Only by calling him uncle can he appear closer.

After hearing Shen Yi's "unfamiliar" voice, Zhao Changping put down the brush in his hand. He looked at the respectful young man in front of him, nodded slightly, and asked, "Jizhong... has you been accepted as a student?"

Shen Yi still lowered his head and replied: "Back to Master, Master Lu has already accepted me as a student in private, but the student did not have any fame at that time, so this matter was not made public. After Jiankang finished the provincial examination this year, Regardless of whether they are successful or not, students will go back to formally learn from their teachers."

"Since Jizhong has accepted you as a student, it's my family."

Zhao Shilang pointed to a chair in the study with a calm voice.

"Sit down and talk."

　I just woke up and am making up for yesterday's update, Chapter 3 will be updated soon...
