Chapter 245 Seeking a Future!
On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, in the Shen family's mansion.

In addition to the two sons of Shen Hui's family, the two sons of the Erbo's family were also called back to Jiangdu from the next door, together with the two brothers Shen Yi and Shen Heng, the second generation of the Shen family's six brothers, after four or five years. Years finally reunited.

It is worth mentioning that the second generation of the Shen family has nine brothers in total, Shen Yi is the seventh and Shen Heng is the ninth.

It's just that the other three belonged to Sanbo's family. They went to the north with Sanbo in the early years and never came back.

That is to say, apart from Shen Yi's third uncle's family, the rest of the Shen family, except for a few girls married off by the second generation of the Shen family, are all here.

As the parent, Shen Hui was very happy, and spent a lot of money on banquets for several days. The family sat together and had a lively New Year's Eve.

It's just that Shen Hui occasionally sat with his fourth brother Shen Zhang, and the two brothers clinked glasses of wine, feeling a little downcast.

Of the four Shen family brothers back then, there were only two of them left.

After several days of excitement, the New Year's Eve finally passed, and it was the first day of the new year.

Shen Yi took Shen Heng together, carrying the New Year's goods, hired a carriage, and went to the academy to pay New Year's greetings to the gentlemen.

When they arrived at the academy, the two brothers moved things down from the carriage. The two of them first went to Mr. Qin's place to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Qin.

Mr. Qin is the common teacher of the two brothers, and he lives in the academy. After seeing the two brothers, he was very happy and talked with them for a long time.

At this time, Mr. Qin's family has a lot of people, and there are more than a dozen students who come to pay New Year's greetings.

After all, Mr. Qin has been teaching in the academy for nearly ten years. During these ten years, he has brought out a lot of students. Naturally, there are not a few people who come to him to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year.

After Shen Yi had a conversation with Mr. Qin, he came to Master Lu's house with the gift he had prepared.

Compared with Mr. Qin's place, Master Lu's place is much quieter.

One reason is that Master Lu doesn't accept gifts very much, and the more important reason is that Master Lu only gives lectures in the academy occasionally, not every day.

In the words of later generations, it is that he, the dean, does not "lead the class".

Without classes, there will not be so many students, so naturally not many people will come to the door.

After Shen Yi knocked on the door of the small courtyard of the Lu family, it was the old servant of the Lu family who opened the door for him. Shen Yi nodded and smiled at the servant, and then led him to Master Lu's study.

After entering the study, Shen Yi put down the things in his hands, and bowed to Lu Anshi who was sitting on the chair: "Teacher, Happy New Year."

Mrs. Lu also changed into new clothes this year, which should have been bought by Miss Lu. After seeing Shen Yi, he nodded first, and then pointed to the chair in the room.

"Sit down and talk."

Shen Yi did not sit down obediently, but came to the small stove in the study, and added a few pieces of carbon to the stove that was about to go out.

"The stove is turned off, and the teacher doesn't add carbon to it. The winter in Jiangdu is extremely cold this year."

Lu Anshi looked at Shen Yi who was squatting on the ground busy, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, Qing Que bought a new set of clothes for the teacher, and it is very warm to wear, and the teacher is not cold."

After Shen Yi added charcoal, he stood in front of Lu Anshi, reached out and took out an article, and put it on Master Lu's desk.

Lu Anshi was a little puzzled: "What is this? I remember that I didn't give you an article a few years ago."

"This is an article written by the Palace Newspaper Division's students."

Because of the cold weather, Shen Yi exhaled a mouthful of white mist. He looked at Master Lu and said, "The Di Baodi sent someone to Jiangdu to urge them. According to the students' estimates, after the Lantern Festival is over, this article The article may appear in the residence newspaper."

Only then did Lu Anshi become serious. He picked up this article and read it again. When he saw the two sentences "the two Huai Rivers are full of bones, and the coffin hangs from the mouth of the Dachen", this Jiangzuo scholar couldn't help frowning.

Finally, after reading an article, he silently put it aside without speaking.

After an unknown amount of time, he lowered his eyebrows and said, "It's a bit too much."

Master Lu looked at Shen Yi and sighed: "Although I dreamed of going north as a teacher, I wanted to return the old capital, but I have to admit that although the Northern Qi has declined a bit, the strength of the Qi army is still there, so the matter of going north You can only draw it slowly, don't be in a hurry, His Majesty is young, and at this time, this article is handed over..."

"In case His Majesty is in a hurry and wants to send troops to the Northern Expedition..."

Shen Yi shook his head and said: "Teacher, the students have met His Majesty. Although His Majesty is young, he is not that impulsive character. Besides, the late emperor's Northern Expedition is not far away. His Majesty should not be so impulsive. As for this article..."

"It was not written by the students, but His Majesty asked the students to write it. Obviously, His Majesty will not read this article by himself, but to show it to others, so that people will know that we, Chen Xinjun, will no longer shrink the first and the last. .”

Master Lu thought for a long time, then nodded silently, and said, "Perhaps what you said, Ziheng, is right. You are already old as a teacher. The older you are, the less courageous you are."

Shen Qi looked up at Lu Anshi, hesitated for a while, and asked: "Next year, there will probably be a personnel update in the hall. Do you want to be an official again, teacher?"

Zhao Changping, Zhao Dashilang, although he has a bright future and is Shen Yi's uncle, but no matter what, his uncle is not as popular as his own teacher. If Zhao Shilang pays homage to his prime minister in the future, the benefits he will give to Shen Yi will definitely not be given to Zhang Jian. There are many benefits.

Therefore, it is better to be a pro-teacher as a backer.

Master Lu had been an official before. At this juncture, if he is willing to leave the mountain, after Zhao Changping writes a letter to recommend him, the imperial court will not give him a low position. At that time, if nothing else, Shen Yi, a student, can also follow suit. Dip light.

Master Lu sat in his seat. After hesitating for a long time, he still shook his head slowly.

He only said one sentence.

"After I leave, who will host the academy?"

Ganquan Academy is the foundation of the Ganquan School, and also the cornerstone of the Ganquan School. Except for Lu Anshi, there is indeed no one in the academy who can control the place.

If Mr. Lu becomes an official, there is a high probability that the academy will only let Mr. Xie become the head of the mountain.

Shen Yi looked down on Mr. Xie very much.

So after he was silent for a while, he stopped talking.

Lu Anshi looked at Shen Yi, smiled and said: "Now, I can understand you as a teacher, why you have to rush to take the Chunwei exam, you are right."

"At present, the imperial court needs people to do things. If you can enter the imperial court earlier, you will have more opportunities. This year, if you take the exam well, even if you only get the top three, as a teacher, I will write to your Uncle Zhao to let him Arrange a way for you in the official department."

After becoming a Jinshi, there is still a process of making up for an official.

The best first-class Jinshi and the top two and second-class scholars will most likely enter the Imperial Academy, and they will not worry about making up for officials, but the remaining Jinshi will have to wait for the Ministry of Officials to select and make up for officials.

If you are lucky, you will be able to fill an official vacancy in half a year or a year. If you are unlucky, you will have to wait for several years, and even spend all kinds of money on relationships to fill an official vacancy. As for filling a "fat vacancy", then More relationships are needed.

However, Shen Yi is a disciple of the Ganquan School, and there are "people" in the court. He is not worried that he will not be able to get an official, but he is worried that he will not be able to get a "Beijing official".

After all, he wanted to enter the Dibao Division to be the official.

From the current point of view, Di Baosi, a government office that has not yet fully formed, may have a lot of room for growth!
But this kind of thing can't be said to Master Lu, nor can he be said to Zhao Shilang, he can only rely on him to fight for it from the palace.

As for how to fight for it, it is necessary to communicate with the people in the palace and the high eunuch after he arrives in Jiankang in the next year, it is best...

It's best to see the little emperor again!

And all of this, there is no way to tell Master Lu clearly.

Therefore, Shen Yi got up and thanked Lu Anshi.

After thanking him, Shen Yi said with a smile to Lu Anshi: "Teacher, you are busy here, the students are going to wish their junior sister a new year."

Master Lu looked at Shen Yi thoughtfully, then smiled and waved to Shen Yi.

"Go."
