marquis of jingan

Chapter 169

In Lu Anshi's study of Ganquan Academy, Master Lu, who was staying up all night annotating books, looked at Shen Yi's letter and was filled with emotion.

He knew that Shen Yi had something extraordinary.

For example, Shen Yi, who is young but thinks a lot, and has some skills in doing things, is far superior to his peers in terms of ability.

Because of this, Shen Yi was able to slowly enter Master Lu's eyes, and was finally accepted as a disciple by Master Lu, becoming one of the core students of Ganquan Academy.

But what Master Lu never expected was that within half a year after Shen Yi went to Jiankang, he would be able to meet the emperor as a student and get a job in the hands of the emperor.

Lu Anshi took Shen Yi's letter and read it many times. After reading Shen Yi's letter, he sat on his chair again and prepared to reply to Shen Yi's letter.

But when he brought up the pen, Master Lu was still unable to write.

Not because there is nothing to say, but because there is nothing suitable to write.

Just like that, Master Lu sat at his desk, picked up the pen, put it down, and then picked up the pen again.

It wasn't until early in the morning that the head of Ganquan Academy wrote the first line with ink.

"Brother Changping, seeing words is like meeting..."

After writing this line of words, Master Lu kept his brush and wrote a letter of nearly a thousand characters in a short while. He carefully stuffed the letter into the envelope, and after writing the envelope, he put the letter aside , began to write the second letter to Shen Yi.

It wasn't until the sky was about to light up that the two letters were considered finished. After Master Lu finished writing, he sealed the envelope, looked up at the sky that was about to light up outside, got up and stretched.

He did not go to bed to rest, but sat on his own chair, closed his eyes and meditated for a while. After the sky was completely bright, he opened the door and walked out of the study, called the old servant at home, and delivered the two letters. In the hands of the old servant, he ordered: "Send it to the official post immediately, and tell the postman to send the horse to Jiankang without delay."

The old servant quickly lowered his head, turned around and sent a letter to Lu Anshi.

As soon as the old servant of the Lu family left, there was a sound of footsteps from the side. Master Lu turned his head and saw his daughter walking over with a food plate. After Miss Lu came to her father, she looked at it with some complaints. Glancing at Master Lu, he said softly, "I heard from Lian'er that you were in the study yesterday, and you didn't turn off the lights all night, and you didn't go to bed all night."

Master Lu rubbed his temples, and explained with a smile: "I've encountered something, don't worry, Qing Que, after eating something for my father, I'm going to sleep."

Miss Lu looked at her father who already had some gray hair, and sighed: "Father, it is your hobby that you annotate books for sages, and my daughter has never cared about you, but you are 50 years old this year, so you can't stay up late anymore .”

Miss Lu's eyes were a little red, and she whispered, "Father, if something happens to you..."

When Ms. Lu was very young, her mother passed away. Mrs. Lu brought her up all these years, and the relationship between father and daughter is very good.

Therefore, Miss Lu is very dependent on her old father, for fear that something will happen to him.

Seeing that his daughter's eyes were red, Mrs. Lu shook his head helplessly, stretched out his hand and patted Miss Lu on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Qing Que, I will sleep well for my father in the future, and stop staying up late, okay?"

Only then did Miss Lu nod her head: "Okay, eat something, then go catch up on sleep..."

Lu Anshi looked at his daughter, suddenly smiled, and said, "Qingque, has Shen Yi written to you in the past few months since he went to Jiankang?"

Miss Lu blushed, lowered her head and said, "Father, what nonsense are you talking about? He wrote me a letter for no reason?"

Master Lu chuckled, and said, "Just a random question."

"This kid is in Jiankang, but there is a lot of trouble. He sent a letter back yesterday and came to ask my teacher for advice..."

…………

Master Lu is a second-class Jinshi of the imperial court. Before he resigned in the early years, he was also an official of the fifth rank of the imperial court. In addition, he is now a great Confucianist in Jiangzuo. Naturally, Jiangdu Station did not dare to neglect his letters. After the master's letter, the station sent it to Jiankang as quickly as possible.

Jiankang was less than [-] miles away from Jiangdu, and the postman who delivered the letter was familiar with the route. The letter departed from Jiangdu in the morning, and it was delivered to Shen Yi in the evening.

At this time, Shen Yi was still in his study, thinking about how to write a sample for the emperor's residence.

He has seen newspapers, and he has seen many newspapers. He has seen big newspapers, and those small newspapers that are relatively unorthodox or even eccentric. Originally, with his knowledge, he wrote a template for a newspaper casually. It won't be a problem, the problem is that he doesn't know much about the court and the royal family.

Therefore, he didn't know what could be written, what could not be written, and what he needed to write before he could send it to the emperor.

It is precisely because of these particularities that Shen Yi did not write, but wrote a letter to Lu Anshi and asked his teacher for advice.

And when Shen Yi opened Master Lu's reply letter, he found that there were two letters in the envelope.

One of the letters had a blank cover, while the other said it was received by Shen Qilang.

Shen Yi opened the letter to himself, took out the white paper in the letter, and wrote a few lines of very chic and elegant cursive on the paper.

"My teacher has been away for a long time, and I can't teach you about the affairs of the court. You take my faith and go to Jiankang Chengyefang to visit Brother Changping. After Brother Changping reads the letter, he will do his best to help you."

At this point, the letter is finished, only a thin piece of paper.

Shen Yi picked up another letter, and saw that although there was no title on the letter, it was very thick, with at least five or six pieces of letter paper.

Shen Yi was somewhat moved in his heart, and after holding Master Lu's letter in his arms, he got up and walked towards Chengyefang.

He has been to Chengyefang and Zhao Shilang's residence.

Although Zhang Jian took him there last time, Shen Yi already remembered the path. When it was about to get dark, Shen Yi arrived at the gate of Zhao Shilang's mansion. He knocked on the side door of Zhao's house and alarmed Zhao's concierge , Shen Yi handed Master Lu's letter over.He opened his mouth and said, "This is a letter written by Mr. Jizhong of Jiangdu Ganquan Academy to Zhao Shilang, please pass it on."

All the servants in the Zhao family knew that their master had a very good relationship with Lu Jizhong of Jiangdu. When they heard that it was Mr. Lu's letter, the concierge didn't dare to neglect, and directly took the letter and sent it for Shen Yi.

Shen Yi waited at the gate of Zhao's house for about a stick of incense, and was invited into the Zhao's house by the servants of the Zhao family, and then brought directly to Zhao Shilang's study room, where he saw this man again. A court chief who has almost taken charge of the household department.

When Shen Yi walked into Zhao Changping's study, Zhao Changping was reading the letters sent by Lu Anshi one by one. After he had read them roughly, he put down the letters in his hand, looked at Shen Yi, and said silently: "Sit down .”

Zhao Changping has been in a high position for a long time, and he has an extraordinary natural bearing. With his words, Shen Yi sat down obediently, honestly.

Zhao Changping looked at Shen Yi and asked, "You go to Jiming Temple to see His Majesty, why didn't you come to see me first?"

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "Uncle, the officials in the palace have told you that His Majesty's whereabouts are not allowed to be revealed, and uncle is busy with business, so my nephew did not dare to disturb you."

Zhao Changping looked at Shen Yi, and asked again: "Your Majesty...do you know that you are a student of Ganquan Academy?"

Shen Yi said in a low voice: "Your Majesty didn't ask, but the inner guards have checked on my nephew, so Your Majesty should know."

"So, things make sense."

Zhao Changping sat on his chair and closed his eyes slightly: "Issuing the world's residence newspaper..."

The household servant thought for a while, then looked at Shen Yi, and said slowly: "Since His Majesty has entrusted you with this job, I will try my best to help you with it."

"Although I will help you, you have to put your heart into it and do this errand well. If the errand is done well, not only will it be good for you, it will also bring glory to our academy's face."

Zhao Shilang spoke meaningfully. He looked at Shen Yi and smiled for the first time.

"If you have anything to ask, ask now."
