While Zhao Mu and others were sitting aside, a few young masters glanced here, rushed over, sat next to him, and asked with smiles on their faces.
"I wonder what your surname is for this young master?"
"Zhao Mu."
"Haha, it turns out to be Mr. Zhao. I'm glad to meet you. My little brother, I don't need your surname to be Song.
I see Mr. Zhao is unfamiliar, is this your first time attending this rally this year?"
"That's right, this is our first time participating this year. It's the one who brought me in!"
As he spoke, Zhao Mu pointed at the people chatting there.
"Mr. Zhao, do you know Mr. Zhou?"
As he spoke, his eyes changed. They were duller than before and became even more excited.
"Hmm? Is this Mr. Zhou very powerful?"
"Young Master Zhao can't say that. Who in Chang'an City doesn't know that Mr. Zhou is the brother-in-law of the son of the Minister of Industry.
The concubine of the son of the Minister of Industry was her biological sister.
Relying on this relationship, the Zhou family prospered in Chang'an City.
What is the concept of Minister of Industry? You don’t know, right?
In the Ministry of Industry, the position is second only to the Minister of Industry, and he is the second-in-command in the Ministry of Industry.
Generally speaking, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is the boss in the Ministry of Industry, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is the second eldest son in the Ministry of Industry.
Even if he is the second eldest son, this official position in the entire court is personally appointed by His Majesty.
This position is enviable, and you can become friends with such a young master.
If you can reach a higher level and get the recommendation of the Minister of Industry, your official career will be a smooth one.
But unfortunately, if you want to have a conversation with someone, because of your status, they won't even look at you.
Looking at Zhao Mu again, he felt envious.
I'm really envious that people can have such friends.
The imperial examination system that emerged during the Sui Dynasty was ultimately short-lived.
In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, the recommendation system adopted before the Sui Dynasty was continued.
This also led to the fact that some truly talented people, even if they had great talents, could not become officials in the court because I did not recommend them.
It also led to the rampant clan bureaucracy and the intertwined landlord class below.
This is why there is such a thing as the Seven Great Families of the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, the so-called seven major families are just the extension of each clan and are the inevitable result of this recommendation system.
"You want to become an official in the court and get to know the son of the Minister of Industry through him.
Then through his son, he gets to know the Minister of Works, and then the Minister of Works recommends him. Is this what you mean?"
The man named Song nodded, secretly happy in his heart.
After hearing what Mr. Zhao said, he was not as unruly as other Mr. Zhao. I hope he can help me!
Zhao Mu shook his head.
"If it's about other things, I can say a few words, but I'm not familiar with that young master."
ah?
"Do you think I need to joke with you?"
"Guys, let me introduce you to a new friend."
"Hahaha,
Since we are friends with Mr. Zhou, we naturally want to see him."
Said that these people got up and left, watching Zhao Mu who was sitting aside and rushed over calmly.
"Everyone, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Zhao.
I met him in Chang'an City today, and we became friends after meeting each other."
Hearing what Mr. Zhou said, the men around him cast envious eyes, but they also muttered quietly in their hearts.
These young men just like to play tricks on others. They are all friends, so they have to say this?
If you want to help, you can just say that you don't want to help and don't force yourself. There is no need to do this.
My impression of Zhao Mu is directly classified as a kind of person.
"Everyone, this Mr. Zhao is very capable.
Today I was participating in a lantern riddle competition outside. I had a competition with Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Zhao answered all 50 riddles one by one.
This Mr. Zhao is the most powerful person I have ever seen in my life.
His ability is only above us, not below us.
Everyone, I think Mr. Zhao must be the protagonist of the entire first floor tonight.
As for us, I’m afraid we can only play supporting roles tonight.”
As he spoke, he sighed helplessly.
His words were so loud that they could be heard throughout the floor.
Everyone's eyes were turned over, their eyes full of evil.
Even in Chang'an City, no one from the big families who come to Hua Man Lou every time to recite poems and have fun dares to say that they are the protagonists and others are supporting roles.
This so-called Mr. Zhao actually dares to say such arrogant words. He simply does not take everyone into consideration.
Many people looked over, and some got up and came here.
But I want to see for myself who this so-called Mr. Zhao is.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that what Mr. Zhou said was completely ironic.
In fact, it is flattering, but secretly it is digging a hole.
And the man who had been chatting with Zhao Mu just now, when he saw this, he greased the soles of his feet and ran faster than a rabbit.
I'm afraid that something big will happen soon and I will be implicated.
"Brother Zhao, if there's going to be poetry, poetry, and poetry, don't be stingy.
Just perform according to your normal abilities. You must not say that you are afraid of being too strong, so you are accommodating to us.
As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. We are all literati, and literati will also have the arrogance of literati.
If Brother Zhao just gives in to us for a while and doesn't show his true level.
This means not taking all of us seriously."
Those words were obviously compliments, but in fact they were like knives piercing Zhao Mu's body.
It makes you unable to resist, so you can only force yourself and charge forward.
The so-called conspiracy was laid out naked in front of him.
If you retreat now, it means you look down on all of them.
"Master?"
Linglong knows the young master's temper. In other words, no one dares to let the young master do something he doesn't like.
Seeing his actions, Zhao Mu shook his head this time.
"It doesn't matter. Since Mr. Zhou wants me to show my true strength, I will definitely not be humble."
Seeing that his plan succeeded, Mr. Zhou laughed out loud.
You, a little person, still want to fight with me, I'm sorry, I'm afraid you won't have this chance!
