Feng Ziying naturally did not expect that the entire Jia family, which seemed to have little to do with him, would be plunged into chaos because of his Chinese style. Of course, at this time, he did not have so much thought to think about it.
He sent Ruixiang away to report the news, so that his mother and aunt could share his joy. Feng Ziying was full of wine and food, but she did not return to the house.
There will be a deer-crowing banquet tomorrow, and there are things to do this afternoon.
Qiao Yingjia and Qi Yongtai must visit them at home, and they must visit them as early as possible. This is the rule of respecting teachers.
Qiao Yingjia is not his master, but he is his master. In a sense, he is his guide on the road to being a scholar and a civil servant, not to mention that he is now the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
history.
In both public and private matters, in matters of emotion and reason, he is the first person he needs to visit.
Even Guan Yingzhen vaguely reminded himself when he was leaving, and Feng Ziying was very touched by this kindness.
Qiao Yingjia is not the kind of person who is particularly broad-minded. Well, it seems that the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate are not very broad-minded, but Qiao Yingjia is not narrow-minded either, but if you want to ignore him or offend him, then you will definitely not
There is good fruit to eat.
Qiao Yingjia was kind to her, and based on this alone, Feng Ziying also wanted to respect him.
I didn't bring anything with me, so I just walked in empty-handed, but with this title of being the youngest person to be elected since the capital was moved to the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was the greatest honor and respect.
Feng Ziying has been to Qiao Mansion many times. Similarly, the concierge of Qiao Mansion has long known that this person is the master's favorite disciple. As soon as the name card was entered, the chief of the concierge ran out in a hurry.
After passing through the countless people waiting outside, Feng Ziying went in.
A large number of officials who had arrived outside the door and were waiting to meet him didn't know such a young man. They didn't know who this person was. They all asked each other to find out. After all, one or two came to know him well.
Knowing Feng Ziying, it was inevitable to show off.
The youngest person to be elected since the Zhou Dynasty moved its capital to the capital, the fourteen-year-old was also the youngest person to be elected in Beizhili today! The key was actually the direct son of a descendant of Wu Xun, General Shenwu, and the chief soldier of Yulin Town.
I have to admit that you are awesome. You will be a candidate at the age of fourteen. With such precocious intelligence, it is almost a sure thing to pass the Jinshi examination. Don’t talk about this subject, you will take the next subject, and it will even take a few more years for you to take the exam before you are thirty years old.
If you pass the Jinshi exam, that will be enough to honor your ancestors.
Seeing Feng Ziying come in, she bowed her hands respectfully, Qiao Yingjia showed a happy and satisfied smile on her face, raised her hand, "I'm glad Ziying is here, take a seat."
"This disciple was able to pass the Chinese style in Qiu Wei this time, all thanks to Master Qiao who introduced him to the school, and he was able to study at Qingtan Academy for two years. This kindness will be unforgettable for the rest of his life!"
Another deep bow.
Feng Ziying's words came from sincerity and from the bottom of her heart.
If Qiao Yingjia hadn't given him this recommendation to go to Qingtan Academy, even if he could use other means to go to Chongzheng or Tonghui Academy, he might not have had such an opportunity, and he might not have been able to improve his scriptures so much in such a period of time.
It is impossible to transform into a dragon in one fell swoop.
Qiao Yingjia was also very happy. On the one hand, he did not make a mistake. Feng Ziying's performance even exceeded his initial best estimate. On the other hand, the respect and sincerity shown by Feng Ziying also satisfied him very much.
Seeing a new star rising, the fourteen-year-old Juren, even if he can't make it through spring next year, so what?
If you study hard for another three years and improve the meaning of the classics, you will definitely be able to pass the junior high school in Chunwei. You are still only eighteen years old. Isn't the eighteen-year-old Jinshi enough to shock the world?
This is your own discernment of people, this is your recommendation of talents for the country.
"Sit down, Ziying." Qiao Yingjia walked over, patted Feng Ziying on the shoulder, and motioned for him to sit down, "I don't deny that I led the way for you, but after all, you walked this road by yourself.
You have made it through your own efforts, no one can help you, I am very proud of you."
"But what I am more proud of you is what you did for the people of the capital last month. This is the unity of knowledge and action. Your "Epidemic Prevention Preparation" is now highly praised by Shuntian Prefecture.
Some time ago, Mr. Xu, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, mentioned this matter to me..."
"Master Qiao has been praised too much, and it is not due to the disciples alone. The mountain chief, the headmaster, and many other students have contributed a lot..." Feng Ziying did not dare to be greedy for God's credit.
Qiao Yingjia was already very familiar with Feng Ziying's humility. Although he was young, he was extremely sophisticated and mellow in his behavior, which made Qiao Yingjia more optimistic about him.
I stayed at Qiao Yingjia's house for half an hour, which also broke the record for guests in Qiao's house. Even if Qiao Gong's close friend came to the house, this was just this kind of treatment. Feng Ziying was just a small official, and she could still enjoy it.
Given such an honor, it is no wonder that everyone in Duke Qiao's residence is particularly attentive to Feng Ziying.
When Feng Ziying came to Qi Yongtai's residence, she deeply felt that it was very different from Qiao Yingjia's place.
Although there were a lot of people outside Qiao Yingjia's mansion, the attitude of those seeking an audience was relatively serious and sad. However, the situation was different at Qi Yongtai's side. The number of people was at least twice as large as that at Qiao Yingjia's side, and almost all of them were well-dressed.
, it can be seen from the clothing, ranging from seventh grade to third grade.
Feng Ziying came on foot, so when he appeared in front of Qi Yongtai's mansion, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.
The handsome young man in green shirt and brocade belt can tell at a glance that he is not an official, but this is the residence of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. If the person who comes here to see you is not an official, then there is no one else. If he is a relative of Qi Yongtai, then so
You shouldn't go through the front door. There is a small corner door on the side, which is also used for the entrance and exit of Qi's family.
Immediately, a man in his forties came over calmly, "Young Master, are you coming to Qi Mansion?"
Seeing the other party's eyes rolling around and looking at her, Feng Ziying also found it funny. She guessed that her dress and the fact that she came on foot made her look particularly dazzling among dozens of carriages and sedans, which caused this incident.
bit of attention.
"Yes." Feng Ziying nodded.
"First time?" the other party asked tentatively.
"Not really, I've been here once or twice." Feng Ziying shook her head, which made the other party even more confused. What's the relationship after coming here once or twice? If they were relatives, they would never answer like this, and if they were children and nephews, they shouldn't have such an attitude.
Nong Rong is obviously not an official, but this is hard to guess.
Qi Yongtai's house is notoriously difficult to enter. It's not that there are no visitors, but there are queues, and the reason must be stated in the name card. If there is no sufficient reason, people will be sent away directly.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to see Mr. Qi today. Little brother, there are at least twenty or thirty people lined up in front of us." Still unwilling to give up and wanting to set up a relationship, the man speculated: "Are you from Baoding Prefecture?"
"No, from Shandong." Feng Ziying became even more funny. Qi Yongtai was from Baoding Prefecture, so the other party thought that she was from Qi Yongtai's hometown.
"Oh?" The other party is getting more and more confused. No matter how you look at it, you can't tell Feng Ziying's identity, and Feng Ziying's attitude also makes the other party realize that they don't want to be intimate with you.
The moment the post was handed over, the concierge had already recognized Feng Ziying, and without any hesitation, he directly accepted the post and invited people in. This made the people waiting behind to see the strange thing agitated. They waited until Feng Ziying entered before the concierge responded.
A few petty officials who were a little angry said coldly: "This is the master's student, don't you know? In the morning, Shuntian Mansion Qiu Wei was elected. The youngest person to be elected in our Zhou Dynasty was fourteen years old. Haven't you heard of it?"
"
Like a boulder smashed into water, causing ripples to spread in all directions, slight gasps of air, sighs and whispers spread one after another within a radius of twenty or thirty feet centered around the gate of Qi Mansion.
The youngest person to be elected?! Fourteen years old! A child prodigy with precocious wisdom!
There are also some people who are better informed and quickly start to show off their words. General Shenwu, the son of the chief soldier of Yulin Town, a lone hero who traveled to Shandong, went into the tiger's den alone to break up the bandits and turn the tide. In short, bit by bit, bit by bit, this large group quickly
The characters began to complement each other, and the image of a young hero with both civil and military skills quickly emerged on the page.
Feng Ziying did not expect that her image would be quickly deified the moment he appeared in front of the Qi Mansion. Rumors in the capital often fermented faster than people imagined, and it would even take another half an hour. It is estimated that Feng Ziying's many deeds combined with
The gimmick of being the youngest person to be elected in the Great Zhou Dynasty could be spread throughout the capital city overnight.
"Well, you should also go to Brother Rujun. It will be of great help to Ziying in the future." Qi Yongtai didn't mind that Feng Ziying went to see Qiao Yingjia first. He still had this magnanimity.
In his opinion, without Qiao Yingjia's recommendation, Feng Ziying would not have come to Qingtan Academy. Maybe he and Feng Ziying did not have this mentoring relationship, and Feng Ziying has also put forward very good insights and opinions on many of his works in the past two years.
, which gave me some newer understandings on many levels that I had never thought of before.
Besides, since Feng Ziying has passed the most difficult provincial examination, it also means that perhaps in the near future, Feng Ziying may truly embark on an official career.
In comparison, for Feng Ziying, Qi Yongtai felt that the National Examination might not be as difficult and dangerous as the Provincial Examination. After all, Feng Ziying's advantage lay in current policy. The only thing that was uncertain was whether Feng Ziying could achieve a good result.
"However, Ziying, you should try to go as little as possible to Ru Jun in the near future. He is also a figure in the limelight now, and it is not suitable for you to get involved in those incidents." Qi Yongtai pondered for a moment, "Maybe come to the Spring Festival Competition.
After that, things will be much better on his side."
"Master Qi, is this a matter of the Criminal Ministry's Heavenly Prison?" Feng Ziying also heard some rumors. This is probably Qiao Yingjia's biggest challenge after taking office as the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
