Chapter 163 The Date at Jiming Temple
In the next few days, Jiankang City was very quiet, and there were no changes that Shen Yi expected.

Originally, according to Shen Yi's estimate, if he splashed the princess of Northern Qi in the face, even if the men hidden in Jiankang of Northern Qi did not come to trouble him, the yamen of the Ministry of Rites might come to him.

It is even possible that the inner guards of the imperial court will send someone to look for him.

But in the next few days, not only did no one from the inner guard come to him, even the yamen of the Ministry of Rites remained silent, and even the Princess Izumo suffered a loss, and there was no reaction at all, as if nothing happened that day Same thing.

Of course, this matter still caused a small-scale impact in the follow-up.

For example, the fact that Shen Yi spilled Princess Izumo's tea that day was spread by the waiter in the teahouse. For a while, the word Jiangdu Shen Yi became popular on Dongshi Street again.

Other than that, there are no more disturbances.

And while Shen Yi was recuperating at home, the candidates for Hongde's six-year Jiankang Township Examination were finally settled.

The doctor of the Ministry of Rites failed in the selection, and Cao Qian, the former champion, successfully became the chief examiner of this year's Jiankang Township Examination.

For a while, the price of Cao Zhuangyuan's anthology soared in Jiankang City, and there were even scenes of queuing up to buy at the door of many bookstores.

Because of Zhang Jian, Shen Yi learned about the two candidates for the main examination of the township examination early, so whether it was the anthology of the doctor of the Ministry of Rites or the anthology of the number one scholar in the past, his family had a lot, so there was no need to compete with those candidates for books.

However, Shen Yi, who learned the news, also found Cao Zhuangyuan's anthology among his own pile of books, and began to read carefully.

There is no way, the exams in this era are all "liberal arts" exams, and it can even be said that they are all Chinese exams. Chinese exams mean that there is no standard answer, which means that the subjective consciousness of the examiner can decide too many things.

Even if Shen Yi wanted to take the Juren examination, he had to go to Haosheng to comprehend Cao Zhuangyuan's profound knowledge.

It is worth mentioning that this ex-convict champion seems to be very young. He is only 26 or seven years old this year. At this age, many scholars are still struggling in the stage of the childbirth examination, while Cao Qian has already won the champion. He has a bright future. , are slightly dimmed.

While Shen Yi was honestly studying Cao Zhuangyuan's anthology at home, an unremarkable sedan chair stopped at the gate of his small courtyard. After the sedan chair stopped, a small attendant beside the sedan chair came to the courtyard gate and rang Shen Yi's bell. courtyard gate.

At this moment, Shen Yi hadn't removed the gauze wrapped around his head. After hearing the knock on the door, he came to the gate of the courtyard with the gauze on. After looking through the crack of the door, he found two people standing outside the door. A young man with a white face and beardless face.

Although the two young men were wearing plain clothes, it could be seen that their bodies were slightly bent subconsciously, and it was obvious that they were used to bending on weekdays.

When the two characteristics are added together, the identities of these two people are not difficult to guess.

Shen Yi hesitated for a while, then stretched out his hand to open the courtyard door. He first looked at the two young men, then at the sedan chair behind them, cupped his hands and said, "Who are you two?"

"Is it Young Master Shen?"

A young man looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile, "Godfather has something to ask Mr. Shen."

After finishing speaking, the two young men stepped aside, and the car curtain behind them slowly opened, and a white-faced middle-aged man in his 40s and [-]s walked out.

Middle-aged people also don't need it, and if you contact these people with each other's names, their identities will be easy to guess.

More importantly, Shen Yi recognized this white-faced middle-aged man.

He had met Jin Wangfu before.

Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, then immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands at the middle-aged man and said, "Eunuch Gao."

Gao Ming, who had just stepped off the sedan chair, shook his head slightly, and said, "He came here in plain clothes to avoid attracting attention. Mr. Shen, you don't need to be polite, let's go in and talk."

Shen Yi nodded quickly, and led Gao Ming into his small yard sideways.

It was already hot at the moment, Shen Yi brought Gao Ming into the room, and prepared a bowl of herbal tea for him, after pouring the herbal tea, Shen Yi looked at Gao Ming, smiled cautiously, "I don't know if Eunuch Gao is here, what's your business? "

The people around the big boss are the most annoying.

Just like the secretary of the chairman is not easy to mess with, there is a reason.

After all, people follow the big boss every day, and sometimes a humble sentence can determine your fate.

This eunuch who doesn't look very eye-catching in front of him may have as much influence in the court as any prime minister in the meeting hall except Yang Jingzong!
Gao Ming lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then looked up at the gauze wrapped around Shen Yi's head, and said with a smile, "This is Mr. Shen's home. Why is Mr. Shen so polite? Sit down and talk."

Shen Yi just sat down.

After Shen Yi sat down, Gao Ming asked, "Is Mr. Shen's injury all right?"

"It's much better."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly: "Thank you, Eunuch, for your concern."

Gao Ming nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "It's good if it's much better. Mr. Shen is the best talent of our Da Chen Shicai in the past 20 years. If he hurts his head, it will be a big sin."

Hearing his gossip, Shen Yi was a little curious.

This Eunuch Gao cannot be said to be Da Chen's internal minister, but at least he can be said to be half of the internal minister. He must have a lot of things to deal with on weekdays. Why is he so free today? Not only did he come to condolence himself, but he also Gossiping in front of yourself?
However, the status of the two parties was very different, so Gao Ming could only say something, Shen Yi listened to it, and Shen Yi responded. After the routine was over, Gao Ming waved his hand and signaled the two young eunuchs to step down.

The two young eunuchs hurriedly lowered their heads and exited the main hall of Shen Yi's house.

After the two young eunuchs left, Gao Ming looked at Shen Yi, and said indifferently: "Mr. Shen is so talented, do you have any knowledge of Buddhism?"

Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "Elder-in-law, I am a Confucian scholar, and I read sage books, Buddhist scriptures and Daoist classics, and I don't have the energy to get involved for the time being."

Most of the great Confucian scholars in the past were proficient in the three religions and highly educated. However, these great Confucian scholars who are "proficient in the three religions" either retired and returned home to enjoy the blessings, or they did not become officials at all, so they have a lot of time and energy to devote When it comes to Buddhism, for young people like Shen Yi, only sage books are the only way, the way to reach heaven.

"Scholars should read the books of sages and sages, but they can't be stupid. When the time is right, they should go out for a walk and read some miscellaneous books, so that they can master the knowledge."

Gao Ming looked at Shen Yi, smiled and said: "Mr. Shen is not from the capital, so he may not know that there is a Jiming Temple in the capital, where incense is very strong. You are free, you can go to the Jiming Temple. It has a special flavor there."

Shen Yi didn't immediately understand the meaning of Gao Ming's words, but when Gao Ming mentioned Jiming Temple and expressly let Shen Yi pass, Shen Yi was suddenly blessed and thoughtful.

He looked up at Eunuch Gao, and asked softly, "May I ask Eunuch, when is the best time to go to Jiming Temple?"

"In three days."

Eunuch Gao said calmly: "Forget about the people of Qin Tianjian, it will be an auspicious day in three days, and it is suitable to worship the gods."

Eunuch Gao looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "At that time, Mr. Shen, if you have time, you can also go to Jiming Temple to worship the Bodhisattva together."

Shen Yi looked at Gao Ming and nodded slightly.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for your reminder. After three days, I must have time next time..."
