Because the Guochao examination areas are different, if you are lucky, you can get several small Sanyuan exams in a year. However, the big Sanyuan Guochao exams such as Jieyuan, Huiyuan and Zhuangyuan may not be able to produce the same one every three years.

The probability of a Big Three Element appearing is very low. Wang Zhiyao also heard that one appeared two hundred years ago.

Earlier, Wang Zhiyao was already very happy when Gu Sanshao was able to give Wang Duanchun to the Imperial Academy as a libation and apprentice.

Now that she has become a disciple of Yin Boyi, who may become the chief minister of the Pavilion in the future, Wang Zhiyao doesn't know how to thank Third Young Master Gu.

In the officialdom, the strongest political capital is the master and apprentice.

Once a teacher, always a father, there is a master with a bright future. As long as Wang Duanchun is promoted step by step, no one dares to plot against him.

Wang Zhiyao also got to know Yin Boyi's character from a side perspective, and carefully studied his promotion route. She could see that this man was very deep in the city, and he also knew how to be a minister, and knew how to compromise and strive for.

Moreover, the influence of the connections and factions behind Yin Boyi is also considerable.

From this point of view, the possibility of Yin Boyi being unlucky in the future is very low. If he worships a master who does not know how to restrain himself and is too upright, no matter how high his status is, Wang Zhiyao will not agree.

Wang Duanchun's brain is already dull enough. If he is taught by his master that he cannot turn around anymore, he will probably be cannon fodder in the future.

As a disciple, if he betrays his master, then this disciple will not be able to stay in the officialdom.

Chiang was also very happy that Wang Duanchun became a disciple of the Imperial Academy, and prepared a complete apprenticeship ceremony in accordance with customs.

She originally planned to accompany her son tomorrow, but she learned that Mr. Yin was taking the exam against Wang Duanchun in the Hanlin Academy. Jiang and Wang Zhiyao had different ideas and did not want to see Wang Yixin who was an official in the Hanlin Academy again.

She didn't know what to say when she saw Wang Yixin.

Wang Zhiyao promised Jiang that she would accompany her brother throughout the whole process. Wang Zhiyao was not happy for Jiang to see Wang Yixin again.

The banishing of the Immortal King's translation letter was too destructive to the Jiang family. The Jiang family finally calmed down, and Wang Zhiyao would cry if she was seduced back by Wang's translation letter again.

Besides, she planned to appreciate Wang Yixin's miserable appearance in the Hanlin Academy, so naturally she didn't want Jiang to be present.

Early the next morning, Wang Duanchun was wearing a Confucian shirt, a square scarf on his head, a jade necklace hanging around his waist, and a chinchilla fur coat. He had the elegance of a scholar and a certain nobility.

Although he is not as handsome as Wang Duanhan, his parents also inherited good looks from him. After Gu Sanshao's influence, Wang Duanchun's low self-esteem and timidity became much less. During these days, he has slowly adapted to walking around in the capital.

.

He does not have the background and identity of Third Master Gu, but at least he will not think that he is inferior to everyone he meets.

"Sister, are you going with me?"

"Um."

Compared with Wang Duanchun's elaborate dress, Wang Zhiyao's clothes are much simpler, wearing only an ordinary crane fur coat. She wears a long braid, which is slightly tied with a pair of pearl hairbands, and her fair face is slightly rosy in cheeks.

The corners of her lips were raised and she was smiling, making her look extremely clean and kind.

"I won't embarrass my brother."

"It's not that you're embarrassed..." Wang Duanchun was a little nervous. "It's not that you're embarrassing me... it's that... I..."

"Okay, brother. Let's go."

Wang Zhiyao urged her brother to get on the carriage. She asked the little book boy to carry the gifts in. She turned back and smiled at Mrs. Jiang. She also got into the carriage and said, "Go to the Hanlin Academy."

It took a long time after the carriage left the Marquis before Mrs. Jiang came back to her senses. A bitter smile appeared on her lips. How long would she have to let Yao'er worry about her?

In the Jiang family, Mrs. Jiang naturally has a lot of good things. Her brother and sister-in-law love her very much and send her all the good things. Her nephews are also very sensible. When they see her, they are before her aunt, after her aunt, and after her aunt.

She wasn't happy...but she didn't dare to let anyone know.

She forced herself not to ask about Wang Yixin's current situation and whether he had any regrets.

Mrs. Jiang also understood that it was impossible for Yao'er to forgive Wang Yixin. Mrs. Jiang sighed silently, since she could no longer fall in love with anyone, just live for her children.

…

The Hanlin Academy is located in the northeast corner of the palace, very close to the place where cabinet ministers conduct official business. Compared with the six yamen, the Hanlin Academy is closest to the palace.

Wang Zhiyao followed Wang Duanchun and got off the carriage early.

Wang Duanchun seemed very excited. The biggest dream of a scholar is to enter the Hanlin Academy. Every year, only the top three Enke students can enter. Of course, there is also the Shujishi exam, but not every year.

"Why don't you walk in the middle?" Wang Zhiyao didn't understand why Wang Duanchun pulled her to walk against the wall. The road in the middle was very clean and wide.

"Every year after ranking in the imperial examination, isn't there a parade on horseback? Only the number one, number two, and the most beautiful woman can walk in the middle when they go to the palace to thank the emperor. Normally..."

"Hey, there is the sound of horse hooves."

Wang Zhiyao turned around and saw Gu Sanshao dressed in military uniform and riding a horse roaring past in the middle of the road. Under Wang Zhiyao's sly eyes, Wang Duanchun couldn't explain anymore and murmured back: "Who can compare with him?"

"Too."

Wang Zhiyao nodded, watching from a distance as he dismounted at the palace gate, led people into the palace, and sighed: "There is only one Third Young Master Gu in the world."

"Little sister..."

"What?"

"Between you and Mr. Gu..."

Although Wang Duanchun is a little dull, he has been back to Beijing for so long, and he also knows the status of Gu Sanshao in the dynasty. Only the daughter of a noble family and the legitimate daughter of an important minister can be worthy of Gu Sanshao.

Wang Zhiyao didn't need others to remind her of the status gap between herself and Gu Tianze, "Brother, don't think too much, we just know each other. For grandpa's sake, he will help."

"It's my fault. If my knowledge could be better, maybe..." Wang Duanchun firmly decided to study hard. Recently, because he was with Gu Sanshao, he didn't study much. "If I can become a disciple of Mr. Yin, I can

I will definitely study hard."

Wang Zhiyao shook her head, "Brother has already studied hard enough. You don't need to worry about me. Even if you are the top scorer in high school, there is a huge difference between him and me."

"Little sister."

"It's like he can ride his horse and walk in the middle, but I can only stand on the edge and watch him pass by."

Wang Zhiyao smiled faintly and urged her brother to come in quickly, "Don't be too nervous. Since Mr. Yin has agreed to accept you, you don't need to worry too much about the test."

After entering the Hanlin Academy, Wang Zhiyao found that Wang Duanchun was very nervous, his hands and feet were slightly stiff, and his breathing was a little short.

Wang Duanchun reluctantly smiled back at Wang Zhiyao. How could he not be nervous?

He was about to face the head of the Hanlin Academy, the number one scholar who won three prizes in a row only once every two hundred years.

What should we do if his performance does not satisfy Mr. Yin?

Wang Duanchun regretted a little. He shouldn't have gone to bed early last night. He was not Mr. Gu. His enlightenment teacher was the most eminent scholar in the world. He...should have stayed up late and read.

Wang Zhiyao handed an amulet to Wang Duanchun, "I asked for it specifically at Yanshenggong Kong's house. You take it with you."

"..."

Even after being trained by Third Master Gu, Wang Duanchun would still be swayed by the name of the Kong family.

These are just legends, high-ranking big shots paying attention to him.

Wang Duanchun put away the amulet, stabilized his heartbeat, and said: "I remember that the place where the Imperial Academy handles official business should be on the east side... you have to bypass the Plum Grove Pavilion."

The Hanlin Academy occupies a large area. If Yanshenggong Mansion is the holy place for scholars in the world, then the Hanlin Academy is the holy place in the hearts of all scholars who become officials.

Even though the Hanlin Academy is the most leisurely department among all the yamen in the capital, not everyone can enter the aristocratic Hanlin Academy.

When they were at the door just now, the Wang Zhiyao brothers and sisters were still questioned for a long time even though they reported their names to Master Yin. Master Yin got the news and sent his entourage to follow them, and they were able to enter the Hanlin Academy gate.

Wang Zhiyao thought that if Gu Sanshao was here, it would not be so strenuous.

Because Emperor Qianyuan did not appoint a prince, the prince's Zhanshi Mansion was naturally vacant, so officials who had passed the qualifications on the 40th and 50th day served in the Hanlin Academy.

They most hope that the emperor can appoint a heir as soon as possible. In this way, they can directly enter the Zhanshi Mansion from the Hanlin Academy to assist the future emperor.

People with such thoughts are ambitious and they are definitely not like Wang Yixin who is just hanging around in the Hanlin Academy.

However, Emperor Qianyuan may have had no intention of being crowned prince in recent years, and the officials will have to continue to wait.

Along the path, through the plum grove, a pavilion was built in the middle of the plum grove. It is now the midwinter season, and the plum blossoms are in full bloom. Hanlin, who is noble and idle, often enjoys the scenery and recites poems in the pavilion.

Of course, most of the Hanlins who are able to be so leisurely during working hours are at the bottom of the Imperial Academy. They have no ambition, no connections, and no foundation. They have nothing but the noble reputation of the Hanlin.

Among this group of people braving the wind and snow to praise the winter plum blossoms, Wang Zhiyao discovered Wang Yixin's aloof and thin figure.

He really didn't do well.

Wang Yixin is much thinner than before, and among this group of people who don't mix well, Wang Yixin doesn't seem to be the leader... Wang Zhiyao's lips curled up slightly, she was so happy.

Why are you so happy when you see Wang Yixin in desolation and his official career is bleak?

Wang Yixin and his colleagues discussed poetry. In the past, he did not need to attend such gatherings. After Jiang and him separated, Wang Yixin could feel the mocking eyes of his colleagues, and his status in the Hanlin Academy was also plummeting.

If he hadn't been able to go to the palace to read to Emperor Qianyuan from time to time, he might have been excluded from the Hanlin Academy long ago.

"Master in charge, you are leading people in? Are you still holding a gift box?"

"Why is there another young lady?"

"That lady looks quite cute..."

Colleagues are talking a lot, and only Master Yin, the head of the Hanlin Academy, can allow outsiders to walk in the Hanlin Academy.

Wang Yixin originally had his back to the path, and the voices of his colleagues were getting louder and louder. He followed everyone's gaze and looked back, and met Wang Zhiyao's smile.

She stood under the plum blossom tree, with branches full of plum blossoms just above her head. The snow-white plum blossoms made her face whiter and more crystal clear. Although her dark eyes were smiling, Wang Yixin could detect a trace of ridicule.

.

Is she laughing at him?

Wang Yixin straightened his waist subconsciously. In the Hanlin Academy, he did not need to wear official robes, so he was wearing a moon-white gown and a crane fur cloak. His thin figure did not affect Wang Yixin.

Wang Yixin instinctively did not want to be underestimated by Wang Zhiyao.

Although the clothes on his body have not been changed for several days.

When the Jiang family was still in the Wang family, this was an impossible situation. Wang Yixin was very well-groomed among his colleagues. Now the number of servants serving him has dropped sharply. Wang Yixin can only do many things by himself, including washing clothes and other mundane things. , even if he wants to do it, he can’t do it.

"he is?"

"Coming towards us."

The people in the pavilion held their breaths and concentrated. Those who could be invited to the Hanlin Academy by the master were either rich or noble. Moreover, the girl who came had an outstanding appearance and an air of grandeur. She looked like she had seen the big world and was in the Hanlin Academy. The hospital remains calm.

"Good morning, Father."

Wang Zhiyao bent her knees slightly and took the initiative to greet Wang Yixin.

Everyone opened their mouths in surprise. Is the young lady in front of me Wang Yixin’s daughter?

Didn't you hear Wang Yixin say that his daughter is stunning?

Although Wang Zhiyao has a good background, she is still far from being stunning.

Wang Yixin knew that Wang Zhiyao did it on purpose, and his face seemed to have a fever, "What are you doing in the Hanlin Academy?"

Someone who knew the situation of the Wang family quietly said to colleagues, "She should be the legitimate daughter who lives with Mrs. Chiang. She is the seventh lady of the Wang family."

"Is it Miss Wang Qi who was praised highly by Mr. Liu for playing the piano at the hairpin party?"

"That's right."

Hearing this, Wang Yixin felt even more embarrassed. He didn't feel proud of his daughter at all. "The Hanlin Academy is an important place of the imperial court. You can come and go at will?"

Wang Yixin touched his chest subconsciously, and the dull pain disappeared. Every time he met Wang Zhiyao in the past, he always felt uncomfortable. His heart seemed to be surrounded by deep guilt.

"Master Wang doesn't know something."

The entourage who led the way replied with a respectful look on his face: "Your Majesty, Your Excellency, invited you to the Hanlin Academy. Today, your Majesty, you will be my master."

"What..." Wang Yixin blurted out, horrified: "How is that possible?"

Wang Zhiyao smiled slightly, raised the corners of her mouth, and looked at Wang Yixin jokingly, "How is it impossible? In your eyes, my brother is not good in any way, and cannot be compared to your beloved bastard. But in the head of the hospital, Yin In the eyes of adults, my brother is worthy of being educated. He plans to take my brother under his tutelage. Today I am accompanying him to the apprenticeship ceremony, and I even brought gifts."

Wang Yixin's shocked eyes glanced at Wang Duanchun, who was standing next to Wang Zhiyao and looked a little anxious, "Chun'er, are you here to become a disciple?"

"yes."

Wang Duanchun's salute was much more sincere than Wang Zhiyao's. He bowed deeply and said, "Returning to my father, I thank Mr. Yin for your unwavering willingness to teach your son to study and make progress."

"Is it your grandpa?" Wang Yixin shook his head when he said this. It couldn't be Jiang Dayong. The Marquis of Xining didn't have such a big face.

Why would Mr. Yin, the head of the academy, allow Wang Duanchun to be accepted?

It's not that he's partial, Wang Duanchun is not a good reader, and his head is a little stiff. It's really... that this opportunity was wasted.

Wang Zhiyao asked lightly: "Have you thought of Brother Han?"

"Ah." Wang Yixin shook his head quickly. Even if he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it in front of his colleagues. Besides, he was so surprised that he didn't even think about Wang Duanhan at this time. "Chun'er can get Yin Zhangyuan's teachings." , Very good, Chun'er, you have to study hard, and your father will be waiting for news about your high school."

Wang Duanchun received little attention from Wang Yixin, and his face turned red with excitement.

Wang Zhiyao had long since given up on Wang Yixin and replied calmly: "As the saying goes, great teachers make great disciples. I think the brother you don't value much will probably go to high school earlier than the brother Han you value."

Wang Yixin's face was even more embarrassing. Wang Duanchun came to be his disciple, but Wang Zhiyao obviously came to make him angry.

Moreover, Wang Zhiyao was so angry that Wang Yixin's chest was so tight that it hurt. He couldn't teach Wang Zhiyao a lesson in front of his colleagues, so he could only feel depressed and aggrieved. If he continued, Wang Zhiyao might be so angry that he vomited blood: "You go see Mr. Yin first.

, I’ll be there shortly.”

Wang Zhiyao glanced at Wang Yixin in surprise. In the past, the Immortal was not so good at building relationships. Didn’t the Immortal despise fame and fortune? How could he have the intention to get close to Master Yin through Wang Duanchun?

"I don't dare to delay your appreciation of the snow scene. Neither my brother nor I are good at poetry, so we can't cater to you with poetry. It would be great if Fifth Sister and Brother Han were here. They would accompany you on either side. They could exchange poems with you and drink with you.

Appreciate the plum blossoms, and Fifth Sister can also hold your arm and act coquettishly...I can't do any of these, no wonder you don't like us."

Everyone looked at Wang Yixin with a bit of ridicule. It seemed that the idea of ​​doting on concubines and killing wives was not only a rumor created by the Jiang family. If the Jiang family had no actual evidence, how could they force the Wang family to be deprived of their titles?

It is impossible for the Wang family to let their grandchildren live with the Jiang family, and the concubine is holding her father?

"May I ask, Mr. Wang, how old is your concubine?"

"My fifth sister?"

Wang Zhiyao said innocently: "I can't tell you the age of the fifth sister. Anyway, she is older than me."

Wang Yixin really wants to sew Wang Zhiyao's mouth shut. You don't need to state the facts "naively".

"Xuan'er is just more lively and usually very polite."

"Oh." Colleagues said in a long voice.

Wang Zhiyao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, my fifth sister is really lively. Every time you come home, she always pounces on you... She also often accompanies you to study in the study."

"Yao'er, Lord Yin is still waiting for you." Wang Yixin interrupted Wang Zhiyao directly, pretending to be thinking about his son, "Go quickly. Don't keep Lord Yin waiting."

Wang Zhiyao knows how to stop. If she steps on Wang Yixin twice more, although she will be relieved, it will not be a good thing for her reputation. After all, in an era when filial piety is the most important, it is really unwise to lose her reputation for Wang Yixin.

.

There will be a chance, just take it slowly.

Wang Zhiyao had long planned to eliminate the things that Wang Yixin cared about most step by step, first the title, and then Wang Duanhan's career in the imperial examination.

"My brother is able to study under Mr. Yin mainly because Mr. Yin regrets that his talent has been delayed and feels sorry for his hard work in studying."

Wang Zhiyao will never allow Wang Yixin to use this relationship to get into Master Yin. It would be best for Wang Yixin to stay at the bottom of the Hanlin Academy, "Once you go to see Master Yin. He is your immediate boss, it will not be good."

Teach my brother. You should feel sorry for your brother, or just respect Mr. Yin as your boss. My brother doesn’t need you right now... If you continue to be busy, you are giving your brother the greatest support. When your brother and I needed you, you were with us.

Teach Fifth Sister and Brother Han, so today, my brother has become a famous teacher, you’d better...it’s better to pay more attention to the people you need to care about."

Wang Zhiyao knelt down and saluted, and left together with Wang Duanchun who still wanted to say something.

Wang Yixin's face turned red and pale for a while. Wang Zhiyao's few words poked several more holes in the broken mask. He had no authority from his father at this time.

"Brother Wang Nian, you...hey."

Colleagues who were familiar with Wang Yixin could not continue talking, shook their heads, sighed, and walked out of the pavilion.

Although the legitimate son and the concubine are both biological sons, no one will say anything if they pay too much attention to the legitimate son and mistreat the concubine. After all, it is related to the face of the wife's family. The status of the legitimate son is always very high, but if you pay too much attention to the concubine and despise the concubine, then

You will be regarded as a confused person.

In the past, Wang Yixin often mentioned Wang Duanhan, and did not say whether he was his legitimate son. His colleagues also regarded Wang Duanhan as Wang Yixin's legitimate son. Later, they found out that Wang Duanhan was actually the son of an official slave, and Mrs. Jiang did not recognize him at all.

Bastard!

Wang Yixin had a true love for his aunt, an official slave, so Mrs. Chiang separated from him.

People who are familiar with Wang Yixin don’t know what to say.

In front of the door, Wang Zhiyao raised her head and said to Wang Duanchun: "When we need him, he only cares about his son and daughter. When we have a good opportunity, we don't need to consider him anymore."

Wang Duanchun nodded silently and walked in holding the gift.

Wang Zhiyao stood outside waiting. She didn't hear any sound for a long time. She twisted her handkerchief anxiously. With Gu Sanshao's arrangements in advance, could there be any accidents when becoming a disciple?

If an accident occurs, Wang Zhiyao must argue with Gu Sanshao!

After another cup of tea, Wang Duanchun came out of the room. Wang Zhiyao greeted him: "What?"

"Little sister, master has accepted me."

"great."

Wang Zhiyao's face bloomed with a bright smile, and Wang Yixin, who was standing in the distance, looked at it... The intention to teach Wang Zhiyao a lesson became much lighter. It seemed that he saw Wang Zhiyao smiling happily for the first time, and Wang Yixin didn't have the nerve to go ahead and enjoy it.

The legitimate son was overjoyed to become a disciple. When he saw his colleagues coming up to congratulate his immediate boss, Mr. Yin, who walked out of the door, Wang Yixin turned around and left quietly.

Mo Xiang, who was driving the car today, was ill, so Wang Yixin walked back to Wang's house.

Because the hereditary marquis was removed, many things in the Wang family mansion could no longer be displayed. As soon as Wang Yixin entered the palace, he was called to the study by the old man. Because of the title, the old man paid more and more attention to the homework of his grandchildren, and sent several grandsons who would take the imperial examination next year

Watch very closely.

In the study, there were not only the old man, but also Wang Yixin's two elder brothers and fifth brother in the capital. Only the third brother, who was born as a concubine, was in charge of the Wang family's business in Jiangnan.

The old man's face was old and morbidly frail. He handed the article in his hand to Wang Yixin, "Brother Han did a good job. I think he is really good. He is Xiao Sanyuan and a young man. Maybe next year he will be able to find a solution."

Yuan is back..."

Wang Yixin took the paper and read it over. Seeing Wang Duanhan's somewhat arrogant look, he said, "He still needs to work harder."

"What? The article is not well done?" The old man called Wang Yixin here not to let him pour cold water on it, "Can you tell me what's wrong?"

Wang Yixin casually pointed out several mistakes in solving the questions, "It is an improvement compared to before, but if you want to win Jieyuan, I'm afraid... However, Brother Chun paid homage to the director as his teacher today, and I think he will be able to take the imperial examination next year."

, he will gain something."

"Wang Duanchun became the master of the Hanlin Academy?" the old man asked sadly.

"Yes." Wang Yixin nodded, "Today I can perform the apprenticeship ceremony."

The old man's eyes widened, and excitement flashed in the eyes of several members of the Wang family.

"Fourth brother, since you can allow Brother Chun to become your apprentice, why don't you take care of your nephew? Why did the Wang family lose their title? I think you also know that Brother Chun is rigid in mind. Isn't this opportunity wasted in vain?"

"Brother, do you think I have the capital to let Lord Yin accept a disciple?"

"Not you?"

"no."

Wang Yi Xinyao shook her head firmly, "Maybe the Marquis of Xining asked Duke Yan to come forward. I heard that Duke Yan and the Jiang family are close friends. I had never heard of it before. I didn't expect that the Marquis of Xining had hidden it deeply enough.

of."

The old man's eyes dimmed a bit. Since he is going the way of Xininghou, the Wang family can't even think of becoming a disciple of Mr. Yin again. "How is Brother Chun's education? Is there any hope of high school?"

"Even if Brother Chun's high school is the one who benefits, it's the Jiang family that benefits. Didn't you see that the four younger siblings live with their children in the Jiang family? They are obviously the grandsons of my Wang family..." Uncle Wang said angrily: "Why don't you let others

Tell me about Brother Chun? I think Brother Chun is a filial man. Maybe he will agree to introduce our cousins ​​to Mr. Yin. We don’t ask to be accepted by Mr. Yin. As long as we can get some advice from Mr. Yin, I think they will

Your career will be much smoother."

The most important thing is that you can gain a relationship with Master Yin through this.

Although Uncle Wang is just a small shrimp in the court, he is still well-informed. Master Yin is in the heart of the emperor and will definitely have a great future in the future. If he can gain connections at this time, he will be of great use in the future.

Wang Duanhan's eyes were also bright. Regardless of whether his father agreed or not, he decided to meet Wang Duanchun... He had taken good care of his brother Chun these years, and it was time for him to repay himself.

He is more suitable than Wang Duanchun to be a disciple of the Imperial Academy.
Chapter completed!
