Chapter 76 Choice
Zhou Xining was a little surprised, is that so?Although there may not be much difference between the number one scholar and Tanhua, the emperor is too casual.

After a pause, Zhou Xining asked again: "What about the elder brother of the Lin family? What rank is he?"

"Why didn't you ask your eldest brother, but the Lin family?"

"Brother is too talented. If you play freely, you may be able to make surprises. You can make a proposition in the court..." Zhou Xining lowered his eyes. They failed to climb back to the capital.

Old Mrs. Zhou sighed, it was true.Even the emperor praised him for his talent in strategizing in the Gongyuan, but he became a fellow Jinshi at the end of the palace examination.

Even so, the old man Zhou was still happy when the two grandsons got the same grade, so he also talked about Lin Qingyuan.

"The first name in Erjia, I have read his article. Although the idea of ​​solving the topic is not novel, it has something unique." The old lady Zhou praised: "The child of the Lin family is very good, and he is able to answer the questions in front of the imperial court from the beginning to the end.

When teaching the prince, your elder brother sat with me a few times, and he was able to barely compose himself. "

Zhou Xining pursed his lips and remained silent. This is the profound heritage of a wealthy family, and it is also the part of experience that is missing in the life of a poor student.

The old man Zhou said again: "The future of this child of the Lin family is limitless. You must let your elder brother learn his ways of life. He has the character of a literati and is also very flexible. Not bad, not bad."

Zhou Shining followed suit and nodded. His elder brother was a man of high character and amazing talent, but he was too polite and easily suffered.

"Then brother, will he apply for the Shu Jishi examination next month, or will he enter the sixth department directly?"

Old Master Zhou cast a sidelong glance at Zhou Xining and asked, "If it were you, how would you choose?"

Zhou Xining: ...

Zhou Xining was stunned for a moment, since she would not apply for an official position, why would her grandfather ask her?But she still thought about it carefully in her heart.

At this time, Zhou Yanqing, who was traveling with Lin Qingyuan, was also thinking about this question.

Since the incident with the Chang family, Zhou Yanqing and Lin Qingyuan have often met, talking about the ancient capital is very congenial, coupled with the friendship with his grandmother, Zhou Yanqing has already called Lin Qingyuan one by one.

After Zhou Yanqing thought to no avail, he asked Lin Qingyuan directly: "How will my brother choose to enter the Six Divisions and apply for the Shujishi?"

Lin Qingyuan looked at Zhou Yanqing, and replied seriously: "Me? It would be best for me if I can be appointed as a parent officer. But you are different, you have more choices."

Zhou Yanqing asked in confusion: "What's the difference? We are from the same family, so how much difference can there be in Tan Hua Chuan Lu?"

Lin Qingyuan smiled, and then said: "The difference is that behind you are the grandfathers of the emperors of the two dynasties, and the entire Zhou family. But I have nothing.

So whether you want to enter the Sixth Ministry, or you want to apply for the Shujishi, or you want to be an official in a local area, it can be a way out.

As for me, I couldn’t make it to the Six Departments. If I want to stay in Beijing, I can only apply for the Shu Jishi, and then like my father, I will stay in the Imperial Academy for the rest of my life without getting ahead. Of course, this is also related to my father’s idle nature.

Qian Zhi, I still remember that someone in the academy once made you bitter, saying that if your surname was not Zhou, no one would take a second look at your writing no matter how good your article was.Although this statement is biased, it is not the norm in the world.

The scientific examination is fair, and everyone has to speak according to their true abilities.

But it is different to be an official and an official. There is a big difference between aristocratic family and poor family.

For example, you are born with more ways out than me, but they are also more difficult than mine.

Because your words and deeds will be noticed by everyone, and a slight mistake will be magnified.

If you are a gold medalist in high school, you will be taken for granted. After all, you are the son of the Zhou family and the grandson of the emperor's teacher.If you fail in the examination room, you will be insulted, have no family, have a false name, and the Zhou family has no successors, etc.

But I am different. If I get a title on the gold list, I will be praised as promising and shining on the lintel.Even if you fail the scientific examination, you will not be scolded, and some people will even comfort you by saying that the scientific examination is not the only way in the world.

But in life, how can there be no mistakes forever?How can everything go well? "

Lin Qingyuan's words can be regarded as heart-to-heart, Zhou Yanqing understood but didn't fully understand, because he felt that as long as he was willing to work hard, no matter if he was from a family or from a poor family, he could rise to the top.

Like my grandfather when I was young, like a great Confucian in the previous dynasty...

Lin Qingyuan glanced at Zhou Yanqing's appearance, and understood what he was thinking, and said again: "Qianzhi, I will only talk to you so much if you call me brother. These words are just my personal opinion, you don't have to be too serious. No matter which road it is, as long as it is what you want to go, I believe the old master will be able to give you the best advice."

"Oh, that's right." Zhou Yanqing suddenly remembered the old master Zhou's advice before leaving, "Grandfather asked me to take my brother home."

It's home.

Rather than seeing you in the house.

Lin Qingyuan's heart was warm, not because he was able to go to Zhou's house, but because in the heart of the old emperor Zhou, he was treated as a nephew in the next life.

When my father was in high school, the old emperor also asked him to talk to him, probably because he saw his father's temperament, so he recommended him to enter the Imperial Academy.

And Hanlin Academy is indeed the most suitable place for father.

Therefore, the grandmother's master-servant sisterhood is not only remembered by the grandmother, but also by the Zhou family.It's just that they kept a distance, and the Zhou family didn't approach them, and only offered some help at critical times.

Just like his father back then, just like him now.

Zhou Yanqing and Lin Qingyuan had just sat down in the Zuiyue Hall, before they drank the tea, the old man Zhou pointed to Zhou Xining and said, "Qing'er, your sister thinks it's best for you to apply for a good fortune, what do you think? "

Zhou Xining was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a straight mouth: "Grandfather said not to tell brother..."

Zhou Yanqing was startled for a moment, and then asked: "Then my younger sister, let me tell you why my brother can only apply for the exam for a good scholar?"

Zhou Shining's gaze wandered over the faces of the three people in the room, and then said: "This is what my brother asked me to say. After hearing that, my brother can't be angry, and he can't be angry with me, and he can't..."

Zhou Yanqing pretended to be annoyed and said, "Are you talking or not?"

Zhou Xining coughed, and said, "My little sister thinks that my brother is very knowledgeable, but he lacks experience in the officialdom and needs to grow up. Second, my brother is too upright in dealing with people, and he is easy to offend people and suffer dark losses.

Instead of entering the Six Parts and getting muddled, it is better to stay in the Imperial Academy, which can not only increase official experience, but also improve oneself, which is the right way. "

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xining glanced timidly at his brother again, seeing that he was calm and not really angry, so he was quietly relieved.

"What does Shen'er think?" Old Master Zhou glanced at Lin Qingyuan calmly.

Hearing Shen'er, Lin Qingyuan smiled.

Only family members call him that, and only family members remember his real name.

Lin Qingyuan's real name is Lin Shen, and the smaller characters are Qingyuan.Since everyone is used to calling him Lin Qingyuan, no one remembers his real name.

Shener?

Hearing this address, Zhou Yanqing was stunned. What's going on?Who is Shen'er?
