Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

It turned out that according to the rules of the imperial examination field, once a scholar is admitted, he should bring a gift to meet the teacher as soon as possible, which can be regarded as a formal worship under his family.

And the examiner can get a lot of income while recruiting disciples and building political contacts for himself.

The poor officials in Beijing, especially those in the Hanlin Academy who have no real job, only have a few dozen taels of salary every year.Fortunately, the main task of the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy is to go to the local area to preside over the imperial examinations. Every time they go down, they can still get a few thousand taels of silver, which is also an unspoken rule in the officialdom.

It has been four days since the announcement of the rankings, and it is a great disrespect for me not to thank my teacher because I am busy.

Moreover, Su Mu also knew that Yang Tinghe would be the chief assistant of the cabinet in the future, and it was a great opportunity for him to be his disciple.But this person has a strong personality, if the future Yang Shoufu misunderstood because of being late, it would be a hindrance to his future career.

So, the next day, Su Mu woke up early, and hurried out of the palace, and went to the shop to exchange gold leaves for cash.I packed 20 taels, wrote a post, and went straight to Yang's mansion to meet.

Unfortunately, it was too late.After reading the post for a long time, the concierge smiled and said, "It turned out to be Master Su. Unfortunately, my master has gone out of Beijing on business."

Su Mu was a little disappointed, and asked Master Yang when he could return home.

Before the concierge could answer, someone in the room snorted coldly: "I don't know, maybe three or five days, maybe seven or eight days, you are Su Mu?"

Su Mu looked intently, and saw a young scholar sitting in the corner of the room.This man was handsome and unrestrained, with an indescribable arrogance about him.In terms of appearance and temperament, it is somewhat similar to Su Mu.However, unlike Su Mu's easy-going, this person has a strong sense of nobility.

Seeing Su Mu's expression was quite disgusting.

Su Mu didn't understand why this person hated him so much, so he cupped his hands and asked, "It's Su Mu, and I'd like to ask Mr. Gao's name."

The concierge smiled and was about to introduce.The scholar suddenly stood up, grabbed the post and threw it out the door: "You don't need to know who I am, just go back!"

Su Mu was also a little annoyed, and just about to explode, the porter rushed up, arched and apologized, and said a few good words, which made Su Mu calm down.

The scholar didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, only sneered slightly.

When Su Mu left, the concierge smiled wryly and said, "My lord, you still can't change your temper. This Su Mu is someone that the master values. These days, the sky is always asking if Su Mu is here."

If Su Mu was here, he would definitely gasp when he heard this sentence. It turns out that this person is Yang Tinghe's eldest son, Yang Shen and Yang Yongxiu, one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty.

"Arrogance, this man is talented, and even I, Yang Shi, admire him. It's a pity that his character is poor. You really think he is valued by his father, but he is not... Huh, it has been five days since the list was released, so I just think about it." Come to worship the door, I really thought that if I climbed a high branch, I would be defiant, just a villain!"

Yang Shen's face was full of resentment: "If he is not a guest today, he should be humiliated severely, so that I can vent my anger."

**********************************************

The family style of the dignified Hanlin Academy's bachelor, the future chief minister of the cabinet is really not very good!

After leaving the Yang Mansion, Su Mu couldn't help shaking his head.

Because of the late visit, Su Mu felt a little regretful.

I can't pay homage to the teacher, but I have to go to the teacher's place.

This time he managed to get out of Xiyuan and got a sum of money, so he naturally wanted to go home to have a look and send the money back.Otherwise, in two days, Xiaodie and Wu's father and daughter will starve.

After returning home, Xiaodie has already moved to Miss Wu's room.

Everyone was naturally happy to see Su Mu, and even Wu Juren rarely went to the hall to talk to Su Mu.

Su Mu handed over the money to Xiaodie, and told Wu Juren about it, asking if it was still too late to visit Master Fang, and what was the point.

Wu Juren said heartbrokenly: "Su Mu, Su Mu, you are so confused. It is disrespectful to have not gone to apprentice for five days after the announcement. What kind of person is Mr. Yang? In the future, he might be a member of the Six Departments. The impression you left on people this time is really bad, but it will greatly damage your official career."

Su Mu also sighed: "I regret it too."

Miss Wu looked at Su Mu worriedly.Then he quickly went back to the house.

Wu Juren cheered up: "Since this is the case, don't think too much. No one can tell what will happen in the future. Let's take a step and see it?"

Then he sneered and said that Mr. Yang didn't seem to have a good character, maybe the student came to the door a few days late and didn't send money, so he made the doorman put on a cold face, he is not a gentleman.

When it came to the excitement, he cursed loudly.

Su Mu knew that the old man was a pedantic teacher, so he got dizzy and was about to get up and leave when Wu Juren said again: "Su Mu, you don't have any money, and there are many housekeepers, eighteen house, if you give money, who can bear it. In this way, one person pays five taels of silver, and then buys some elegant objects such as the Four Treasures of the Study. In fact, it is just a wish, the house teacher values ​​the future of the students, and does not care about money."

"The old man is right, I'm going to prepare now."

For the next whole day, Su Mu bustled around the capital to visit his master, and his feet grew bigger.

In this way, only six families left.

In the evening, Su Mu went back to live in Xiyuan, and then talked to Liu Jin.

Continue to worship the teacher on the second day.

In this way, it took three days before the eighteen house masters were worshipped.

Among them, it goes without saying that the key is that money can't stand it.

When everything is settled, the twelve taels of gold leaves will also be in full bloom.

Su Mu was speechless inwardly: Studying is indeed a costly thing, the money spent on apprenticeship is enough for ordinary people to eat for ten years.

After the apprenticeship is over, the next step is naturally to have a reunion with the same year, lesbian relationship or something.

This matter is not in a hurry, the matter of the emperor's relocation in Xiyuan has finally been settled, and the prince will start classes as scheduled.

Walking in the East Palace, Su Mu's job is to accompany the prince to study.

The classroom was set in a room in a secluded courtyard in Xiyuan. Early in the morning, the ground dragon was burned in the room, and it was so hot that people were sweating all over.

There is a long table in the middle of the room, which is the desk of the prince's master.

Opposite the long case is a small table, which is the seat of the prince.On both sides, there is the position of the apprentice and the seat of Su Mu.

I heard from Liu Jin that when I came to teach the prince today, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Jiao.

When Su Mu heard this, he was startled. This Mr. Wang is a first-class master of ancient prose in the world, and he won the first prize when he participated in the examination.If talking about his attainments in stereotyped essays, if he claimed to be second, no one would dare to call him number one. He is an idol in the reading world and a figure of national treasure level.

It is also my luck to listen to his lectures.

Su Mu was looking forward to it.

After entering the room with the prince and sitting down for a while, Wang Zhi came in. He was a skinny old man in his sixties, and he looked like a bookworm with a low EQ.Otherwise, with his status as the No. [-] Scholar and having been in the officialdom for so many years, he should have joined the cabinet long ago.

When Zhu Houzhao saw that it was Wang Zhi, he was happy in his heart. This man is a well-known good gentleman, and it is easy to take his class. If it were Liu Jian and Xie Qian, life would be difficult.

He hurriedly called out with a smile: "Master Wang."

"I have seen the prince." Wang Jia nodded, returned to the main seat, started to flip through the book, and then yawned unceasingly, looking very listless.

"Old man Wang certainly didn't sleep well yesterday." Zhu Houzhao whispered to Su Mu.

"Of course, I can see that."

Zhu Houzhao: "Zi Qiao, you don't know that this Lord Wang is very lustful. He married a six-bedroom concubine at home. I heard that he often invites a doctor to come into the house to give him a son... Ha ha... This Lord Wang is not a good man... By the way, Ziqiao, don't these heroes in the Jianghu only care about their muscles and bones, but don't care about women's sex?"

Su Mu couldn't help laughing, and was about to laugh when suddenly Liu Jin called out: "The Imperial Academy attendant has arrived."

Both the crown prince and Su Mu became quiet and looked back at the same time.

Speaking of which, like Su Mu, the Bachelor Attendant also accompanied the prince to study.

Su Mu was a little curious about this actual colleague of his, but he was stunned when he saw it. This person looks familiar, where did he meet him?

It was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a red official robe. He looked like all civil servants in the Ming Dynasty. He was tall and long, with a Chinese character face, and his eyes were wide. traveled.

Just thinking about it, the bachelor was also taken aback when he saw Su Mu, and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here?"

As he spoke, his complexion changed and was covered with frost.

"My lord, Yang Tinghe, this is Su Mu walking in the East Palace, and the emperor asked him to come and read." The prince introduced with a smile.

"Ah, teacher!" Su Mu was taken aback. No wonder he looked so familiar. He remembered that when he was in the Tongzhou examination room that day, he had seen Master Yang from a distance.

"Who is your mentor?" Yang Tinghe yelled angrily, "I, Yang Tinghe, am not so lucky to have such a humble student as you!"

Master Yang was outraged this time. When he presided over the township examination last time, he deliberately tried to get Su Mu down.But he didn't want to, by mistake, he still took the sumu.

That being the case, this is God's will, Master Yang is also killed.

After coming down, I heard people talk about the poetry competition between Su Mu and Long. When I read the sentence "The green hills are still there, and the sunset is red for a few times", my heart was moved: This poem is magnificent, and it is beyond human feelings. Seeing through the world, a person with a big heart can't do it.Viewing people with poetry, those who can write such poems must have a very good mind.

Maybe I misunderstood Su Mu, seeing him getting close to the prince, I preconceived that this person is a man who climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix, and opportunistic.

Young people, if they are not upright, they will inevitably make mistakes.If you know the shame, you may not be able to hone into a useful person.Talent is rare, if you miss it, it would be a pity to let him go down the evil path.

Anyway, after the announcement of the rankings, all the candidates who are admitted will come to apprentice and have a good talk with him when the time comes.If this son can be cultivated, I, Yang Tinghe, can also get a good disciple.

For this reason, Yang Tinghe even wrote an eloquent Qianwen, which roughly means that everyone loves fame and wealth, and a gentleman must make a difference, so he does not deny it.However, one cannot sacrifice great righteousness for small gains, as the saying goes: It is better to seek from the straight than to seek from the melody.

To be honest, Yang Tinghe was very proud of this article. He could even imagine the situation when Su Mu read this article, cried bitterly, repented, and worshiped in front of his seat.

At that time, I will inevitably have some sincere teachings.

In the end, the teachers and students had a good time and made a good story.

But Zuo waited for Su Mu not to come, and waited for Su Mu not to come, five days passed in a blink of an eye, but Yang Tinghe still did not see Su Mu's shadow.

I feel that this article has no place to implement it, as if I have punched the air, and I feel an indescribable discomfort in my heart.

Today, I saw Su Mu ostentatiously sitting next to the prince, blatantly entering the room, Yang Tinghe understood completely in a flash: what a villain Su Mu, he is really good at making money, and he actually became the prince's accompanying student.If you enter the court in the future, you can pay it back.

This person has a peerless talent, his articles are first-rate, and his poems are No.1 since the Kingdom Dynasty.

But a villain may not be without talent. For example, Cai Jing, Cai Yuanchang, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, was not only sophisticated in his writing, but also opened up a new style of calligraphy. He ranked fourth among Su Huang Mi Cai, and he was a master craftsman.

But the more talented the villain is, the more he will harm the country.

Thinking of Cai Jing's name, Yang Tinghe felt cold sweat in his vest.

Su Mu didn't expect Yang Tinghe to get angry at him. While he was puzzled, he was also annoyed: Isn't it just a few days late to go to apprentice, as for cursing people when they meet?

"Huo!" He stood up with a bang, and slightly cupped his hands: "I've seen Mr. Yang!"

The tone was already very impolite.

Yang Tinghe ignored him, and shouted loudly at the prince: "Prince, I ask you, what qualifications do you need to be a servant in the Eastern Palace?"

Zhu Houzhao was amused when he saw Yang Tinghe and Su Mu clashing.He is a person who longs for chaos in the world, so he said with a smile: "Born as a Jinshi, studying in the Imperial Academy, that's all there is to it?"

"Okay, well said. Then, I would like to ask the prince, what is Su Mu's fame, but he can be ordered by Hanlin?"

"no."

Yang Tinghe's voice became high-pitched: "The system of the imperial court cannot be abolished, a mere juror, why should he serve as the servant of the Eastern Palace?" Speaking of excitement, he grabbed Su Mu's arm and was about to wring him out.

The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were short-tempered when they came out, and they also liked to fight, and dared to beat people if they disagreed with each other.

Later, during the great ceremonies of the Jiajing Dynasty, Yang Tinghe's son Yang Shen got involved with a group of civil officials and planned to ambush Huo Tao at Zuoshunmen, intending to beat him to death directly.If it wasn't for Huo Tao and the others running fast, they would have been beaten to death for nothing.

In this era, it is common for civil servants to fight with each other. Others not only don't think there is anything wrong when they see each other.On the contrary, they will praise both parties: strong and strong, high quality and clean conduct, jealous like hatred, a real gentleman, a real man.

Sometimes, Su Mu doubted whether the style of fighting in Taiwan's political arena was inherited from the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing Yang Tinghe move his hands, he was also annoyed: Anyway, I don't have a teacher, and we don't count as a teacher-student relationship.If you really bully me, I, Su Mu, are not easy to bully.

With a flick of his sleeves, Yang Tinghe is old after all, how can he handle it.

"Bump!" It hit the table with a bang.

The Four Treasures of the Study were scattered all over the place.
