Chapter 239 Change the Habits of Businessmen

This is not implied, but explicit.

The reason why I didn't say it directly, but wrote it on the table with tea, is because the matters related to the scientific examination are relatively sensitive. If people, especially those scholars, find out, it may be a little troublesome.

The left servant of the Ministry of Rites...

After Shen Yi bowed his head and thought for a while, he thought of this person's name.

Wu Kan and Wu Qiongli.

At the beginning, because of Shen Yi pouring tea on Princess Izumo, His Majesty the Emperor made use of the topic and made a fuss in the court once, dismissing a prime minister of Zhongshu Province and two servants of the Ministry of Rites. He was transferred from Yushitai to the Ministry of Rites and became the left servant of the Ministry of Rites.

It was through Shen Yi, or through the emperor's light, that he was promoted.

And this promotion is definitely not for no reason.

If you think about it with your ass, you can imagine that this Wu Shilang must have been to the palace to show his loyalty to the emperor before he was promoted.

It can even be speculated that the reason why the little emperor was so angry and dismissed the two court officials of the Ministry of Rites in one breath, maybe it was to promote Wu Kan, one of his own.

But now, Wu Shilang is taking the exam again, and will soon be "full of peaches and plums", which may not be the little emperor's arrangement.

It is almost certain that this Wu Shilang must be the little emperor's own person.

However, Shen Yi didn't think that this Wu Shilang would "release water" on him.

Because if the chief examiner of the test will put water on him, then Sun Jin actually doesn't need to come here to "mark the key points" for himself today, and he will be admitted directly to the test.

And... this kind of focus is certainly useful for Shen Yi, but it doesn't have a particularly big effect.

Because usually after the new year, the candidates for Chunwei's main examination will be announced.

It is full of calculations, now until next year's Lantern Festival, it will only take two months. At best, Shen Yi has two months more preparation time than others, and he doesn't have to wait until next spring to go to the bookstore with those Juren lords. "Review materials" about Wu Shilang.

At that time, Wu Shilang's anthology, and even poetry anthology, and even Wu Shilang's information will rise sharply, so Shen Yi, who knows this in advance, can save a small amount of money.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi's eyes turned.

I don't know if it's a habit I developed in my previous life doing business. After receiving these messages in advance, Shen Yi naturally thought of a business to make quick money.

That is to take advantage of the two-month gap to engrave the engraving of Wu Shilang's anthology, and after the announcement of the candidates for the main examination next year, he can rely on Wu Shilang's masterpiece to make a fortune.

But after thinking about it, Shen Yi gave up the idea.

Because this approach is too commercial.

Scientific research is the most important and sensitive topic in this era. If someone finds out that Shen Yi went to print Wu Kan's anthology a few months in advance, even if it can be explained that it happened to be "hit" by chance, it might be rejected. Pointing at the back, besides, the emperor was involved behind this matter.

The emperor's "focus" on Shen Yi was not for you, Shen Yi, to make money, but for Shen Yi to pass the exam.

After Shen Yi pondered for a while, he secretly said in his heart.

"The businessman's habits in me must be changed in the future, and the layout should be bigger, and the eyes should be raised from the shopping mall to the court..."

There are many psychological activities in Shen Yi's heart, but in fact it is just a few breathing kung fu sons. He silently stretched out his hand, wiped off the writing on the tea on the table, looked at Sun Jin, and said silently: "Thank you, Eunuch Sun, Shen has already understood what is going on. meaning."

After a pause, Master Shen asked, "Is this the handwriting that His Majesty asked Eunuch to write, or the handwriting that Eunuch Gao asked Eunuch to write?"

"It's Eunuch Gao."

Sun Jin lowered his eyebrows slightly, and said in a low voice: "However, in this kind of matter, it doesn't matter whether it's His Majesty or Eunuch Gao."

Indeed, when it comes to things related to Chun Wei, not to mention a clever one, even the prime ministers of Zhongshu Province can't be the masters now. No matter who asked Sun Jin to write these words, it is the young man who wrote them. The meaning of the emperor.

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "Then please trouble my father-in-law to thank the emperor for Shen after he returns to Jiankang. Besides, when the father-in-law sees Gao Gonggong, or sees His Majesty, he will forward the report for Shen, saying that Shen will be sure next year." Going to Jiankang to participate in Chunwei will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations..."

"Yes."

Eunuch Sun smiled, looked at Chun Wei, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Master Shen is so young, he can let His Majesty take care of him personally, and he will have a bright future in the future."

"Eunuch is joking."

Shen Yi shook his head and said: "Even if you become a Jinshi next year and enter the imperial court, at most you will only be an eighth-rank official. If you say that the future is boundless, it is still you, father-in-law."

Sun Jin is usually a bit serious, but he has a good impression of Shen Yi, and now he has a smile on his face.

"Being a Jinshi and entering the Hanlin Academy is the chancellor of the imperial court. It is uncertain that Master Shen will be in charge of the center in the future."

He stood up and bowed deeply to Shen Yi.

"My maidservant congratulates Master Shen, Chunwei High School, on the gold list!"

"According to the father-in-law's auspicious words."

Shen Yi also bowed his hand to return the gift, and said with a smile: "When we arrive in Jiankang next year, if the father-in-law is free, we must find a place and have a good drink."

Sun Jin shook his head slightly and sighed: "Outsiders have always looked down on us and other palace people. Even if Master Shen didn't have such thoughts, and those scholars saw it, they still wanted to blame Master Shen behind their backs."

"Master Shen thinks highly of the servant girl, and the servant girl already remembers it deeply. As for eating and drinking..."

Eunuch Sun smiled very honestly: "Let's talk about fate in the future."

He bowed to Shen Yi and said goodbye: "Master Shen, the servant's errands are over, and I'm going back to the palace. If you have anything to say, or something to send to Jiankang, the servant can bring it to you."

"There's nothing else."

Shen Yi took a serious look at the young eunuch in front of him, and said sincerely: "Shen has never thought of looking down on anyone. If you want to get ahead in the palace, it will only be more difficult than outside, and it will not be easier than outside. Eunuch Sun is already very remarkable. gone."

Shen Yi's words are not flattering, because if you want to stand out among the tens of thousands of people in the palace, and climb to a high position, you can definitely not rely on your qualifications to make it up.

A person like Sun Jin must have something special about him.

Shen Yi patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You don't want to be a master, you can think highly of me, just call me Shen Qi."

"Don't dare."

Sun Jin still lowered his head respectfully, but he still looked up at Shen Yi and changed his address.

"Mr. Shen, see you in Jiankang."

After saying this, he turned around and left. Shen Yi personally sent him to the door of the house. After seeing him get on the horse cleanly, Shen Yi waved to him and smiled, "Good trip, father-in-law."

Sun Jin sat on the horse, looked back at Shen Yi, nodded silently, and rode away on the horse.

After Sun Jin walked away, two servant girls came out from the yard and stood beside Shen Yi. One of the servant girls, Ping'er, looked at Shen Yi and blinked.

"Isn't the young master going to the academy? Are you still going?"

Shen Yi glanced at her, then stepped out the door: "Go, why not go?"

After Shen Yi walked away, Ping'er turned to look at Qing'er, and hummed softly: "I've been there several times, and I haven't seen anyone take care of our young master once."

Qing'er glared at her.

"What does talkativeness have anything to do with you?"
