Brother Shou reviewed the friends he met today and talked about the new food he had tasted. Emperor Hongzhi listened with interest and was filled with wonder.
Brother Shou has hated studying the most in the past two years, and he has been impatient with the Hanlin officials who have entered the palace to study directly. Today, he can chat with a few academics. And what about food, Brother Shou has always been picky about food, and he has never been able to eat tofu dishes. As for food, I just boasted that tofu is delicious when grilled.
Brother Shou finished speaking in one breath, with a bit of pleading on his face.
Emperor Hongzhi looked angry and funny. He just came back and thought about going out to play next time.
"The new friends you met are students studying in the academy, so they don't have time every day. Even if you want to go out and play with them, they don't have time." Emperor Hongzhi said gently.
Brother Shou's eyes lit up and he said: "Father, they are on holiday on New Year's Day, so why don't we wait until the fifteenth child to play with them?"
Emperor Hongzhi touched his head and said, "Didn't you say that Shen Rui and He Taizhi are going to take the college examination, so they don't have time to hang out with their friends before the examination, right?"
Hearing this, Brother Shou was in low spirits: "Yes, I forgot about this... He Taizhi even said something about wanting to see you again next time, but that guy Shen Rui didn't mention it at all. He must be afraid that I would mess with him. It delayed his study..."
The detailed details of Shen Rui from birth to present have been written down in detail and are placed on the emperor's desk.
Emperor Hongzhi did not stop his son from dating again because of Shen Rui's diligence and studiousness. He hoped that Brother Shou would be affected and would no longer be so tired of studying.
In addition to the few new friends mentioned by Brother Shou just now, Shen Quan is unusual. He Taizhi and Mao Chi's father, one often comes to the palace to speak directly, and the other is the number one scholar appointed by Hongzhi. When mentioning the names of people, how can the emperor know? Don’t know?
Although I have never met those children, if I can be friends with Shen Rui, he must be easy to learn and improve.
Emperor Hongzhi had some hope in his heart and said: "Did they mention the scientific examination today? How are their homework?"
Brother Shou thought for a while and said: "I also mentioned a few words. Listening to what they said, Shen Rui was already the head of the case, and the court had tried and decided; He Taizhi didn't seem to be very sure, as if he was too sure. But there is a gap between two things. Mao Chi returned to his hometown after the Mid-Autumn Festival to prepare for the exam, and Shen Quan seems to be returning to Songjiang."
Everyone else was older than Brother Shou, but it was He Taizhi who surprised Emperor Hongzhi: "He Taizhi and Brother Shou are of the same age, if they can pass the college examination, they will be young scholars..."
Brother Shou was unconvinced and said: "I'm just a scholar, so what's the big deal? Scholar Yang passed the examination at the age of twelve, wasn't he even younger when he was selected as a scholar? Yang Shen, the eldest son of Yang, also passed the college examination at the age of twelve. I heard that his elder When I was not very young, I started to write poetry..."
Listening to these words, Emperor Hongzhi felt a little sad.
Among all the officials in the James Mansion, Brother Shou respected Yang Tinghe most.
Among the teachers who taught at the East Palace, Yang Tinghe's class was interesting and easy to understand, and he was indeed more careful than other teachers.
If it weren't for a gentleman like Yang Tinghe, Brother Shou would have become even more tired of studying.
Emperor Hongzhi felt that Yang Tinghe was good and prepared lessons carefully, but he did not want him to influence his son too much.
He sighed in his heart, touched Brother Shou's head, and said: "Yes, they are just scholars, so what's the big deal? Even if they win the Jinshi in the future, they will still be Brother Shou's ministers..."
Brother Shou was startled, grabbed Emperor Hongzhi's big hand, and said with a naughty face: "Let them be my father's ministers, and the child will quietly make friends with them. When they know the child's identity in the future, they will be shocked..."
Emperor Hongzhi thought about his body and became more and more sad. He raised his head and looked into the distance, his eyes a little confused and said: "It's all my father's fault. He didn't give Brother Shou some younger brothers and sisters, so Brother Shou was lonely. If it were you.
It would be nice if my second brother didn't die young, and you could have more arms..."
When Brother Shou heard this, his back stiffened, and his eyes showed a bit of horror and pain.
The fists in his sleeves were clenched tightly, and he raised the corners of his mouth, sneering in his heart.
If his good second brother had not died young, would he, the prince, have been able to grow up safely?
If he hadn't had other thoughts, how could he have deliberately arranged for the little chamberlain to be around him to make him mischievous? If his father hadn't really loved him and had only one son, he would have probably grown tired of him long ago.
God is wise, the second prince died young, and the princess who landed again did not stand still. He was still the only prince inside and outside the Forbidden City.
No matter what that person thinks in his heart, he must act like a loving mother in front of others and behind others.
However, the father was obviously aware of that man's selfishness and change of attitude. He changed all the attendants around him, and the father and son spent more time alone together...
Renshoufang, Shenzhai.
When the eldest master came back from the Yamen, Mrs. Xu told him about the reception at Shen Rui Garden today, focusing on Mao Chi.
"I was originally thinking about how Brother Rui thought of entertaining friends at home, but after meeting the boy from the Mao family, I finally understood. In terms of age and family background, the boy from the Mao family is not a good candidate? He is three years older than Sister Yu.
He is 2 years old and seems to have a gentle personality..." Xu said.
Mr. Shen naturally knew the number one scholar Mao Chi.
"You're sixteen, why haven't you passed the boy's examination?" The elder is still concerned about his academic qualifications. My parents are good, but it's useless if I don't live up to expectations.
"From what Rui Ge said, the Mao family didn't plan to register as a permanent resident, so they didn't go back to their hometown last year. They planned to go back at the end of this year, take the boy's exam next year, and pass the provincial exam the year after that. He is Rui Ge's deskmate.
Brother Rui said that his homework is three points better than Brother Rui. It will be fine for a boy to take the exam, even if he is not sure about the provincial exam, he can still expect it..." Xu said.
Since he was the son of the number one scholar and was recognized by Shen Rui in terms of knowledge, the eldest master nodded.
As for the fact that the ancestors of the Mao family are craftsmen, the eldest man is not picky about it. Even if he is a craftsman, so what? Ever since Mao Cheng became the number one scholar, the Mao family has changed its family. Mao Chi himself was a scholar, and the Mao family has only grown from generation to generation.
OK.
As for the matchmaking thing, the elder is not worried.
Although Wang Shouren is not here, Wang Hua is in Beijing. If that doesn't work, you can ask Bachelor He to help again.
As for the woman taking the initiative to mention the marriage, it is not a shameful thing. Marriage is a good marriage between two people. Even if you think your son-in-law is a good candidate, there is no need to put on airs and miss it.
As long as her father and brother are reliable and the dowry is decent, will the Mao family treat Sister Yu lightly?
I feel that the number of people is small, and I am worried that Brother Rui will not be able to help him in the officialdom in the future; the Mao family is not as good as the Shen family, does it not need more help?
"Shen Rui, come and play with me." The little boy in a golden python suit said proudly: "I am alone, and I don't even have any friends around me. I finally got to know you, and we are together..."
Shen Rui stood opposite the young man, his face seemed flattered, but his heart was faintly proud.
Just listen to the young man saying: "You should go to the palace to accompany the orphan, but you should purify yourself first..."
Several Jin Yiwei wearing Feiyu uniforms nearby came forward with cheers and restrained Shen Rui.
Shen Rui wanted to punch, but he couldn't withstand the large number of Jinyi guards, so he was pinned to the ground. Several beardless eunuchs next to him held eight-inch-long razors in their hands, chuckled, and came towards Shen Rui...
…
"No." Shen Rui was covered in cold sweat and woke up from the nightmare. He couldn't help but look down at his crotch. Although his little brother was wilted, he was still intact.
Shen Rui couldn't help but laugh, how could he have such a dream?
Du Yun said, "Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger." It seems that he behaved calmly and calmly when facing Brother Shou, but he was worried in his heart, fearing that something might go wrong and escape his control.
Today is an era when imperial power is supreme, and Brother Shou is a famously willful emperor in history. After all, he is not an ordinary young man. If Brother Shou becomes willful, how can he survive it? If he really causes trouble outside the palace, he will not be able to blame himself.
Just top the cylinder.
Now that I have such a connection, I will become a monarch and minister in the future, and I will also have an old relationship, and I am already much better than others. If I try to plan other things, I will be greedy.
Even though Brother Shou is young, the ninety-five-year-old man in the palace is not calculating.
It's better to hide your selfishness.
Anyway, he has become the son-in-law of the Yang family, and will have a backer for the Zhengde Dynasty in the future. It is better not to think about opportunism. Otherwise, if you accidentally leave traces, it will not be a blessing, but a curse.
Thinking of this, Shen Rui breathed a sigh of relief.
After entertaining guests this day, he was exhausted both physically and mentally. This was because he had desires and worried about gains and losses.
This doesn't look like me anymore.
Now that Shen Rui had made his decision, he gradually talked less about Gao Wenhu and Brother Shou, and began to study hard with books again.
He Taizhi was a bit naughty at first, but Shen Rui led him to become more competitive. Not only did he study at Shen's house every day, but even when he returned home, he had to study until midnight.
When Xiao Xu saw this, she felt very distressed. She tried to persuade her twice, but she couldn't persuade her.
"Cousin Rui won the county examination and passed the court examination. He refused to let go of the paper and didn't dare to relax for a moment. The child is not sure yet, how can he dare to be lazy?" He Taizhi said eloquently.
Mrs. Xu was pleased that her young son was sensible, but also felt sorry for his hard work. She complained to her husband: "He is only twelve years old, why is he so anxious? I don't want to dissuade him."
Scholar He shook his head and said: "This is what serious study looks like. Which of the poor people outside is not so hardworking? The waiter is a little clever. In the past, it was just a trick, and he did not concentrate on studying. Now with Brother Rui by his side,
After meeting the talented people, they started to study hard. If we don’t encourage them, how can we stop them?
Little Xu worriedly asked, "How can I heal my body and bones?"
He Xueshi said: "No need to worry, it's only for one or two months. With Xiao Er's current coursework, even if he is lucky enough to pass the college examination, he will not be able to pass the yearly examination. It will take several years for the provincial examination. Zhizi Mo Ruo Mu, Xiao Er's
You, a mother-in-law, don’t know your temper yet? You’re not a very energetic person, now you just stretch it out in one breath, and you’ll let it out after you pass the hospital exam.”
Mrs. Xu thought about her youngest son's temperament and found that it was indeed what her husband said, so she stopped talking about it and just looked forward to the hospital examination passing soon.
In June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the biannual college examinations are approaching.
Although Yang Tinghe had already tested Shen Rui's knowledge, he still called him home on his holiday.
Although the boy's examination is just the beginning in the imperial examination career, it is nothing, but Yang Tinghe still hopes that Shen Rui can get good results. If Shen Rui gets the "little three yuan", there is no need to worry about the annual examination, and he may not be able to take it next year
Rural examination.
The provincial examination is no different from the general examination. It doesn’t matter the ranking. As long as you pass it, it’s a good thing.
Instead, it is the general examination, because there is a huge difference between Jinshi and fellow Jinshi. If you are not completely sure, it is better to wait for the two subjects before finishing...
