Chapter 67 of the Five-character Volume: Knowing things like a god (eighth update, please vote!)
"Humph, can you explain the two lines of Ziying's poem just now?" Shen Yixiu still pretended to be angry. She knew that her fiancé was a bold and reckless person. If she didn't show her anger, she would just I'm afraid I'll have to push myself even further next time.
"Wan Jun still needs me to explain?" Feng Ziying also noticed Shen Yixiu's good mood, "I hope that next spring I can have a life like the one in the poem. Don't Wan Jun look forward to it?"
Xia Fei's cheeks were amused by Feng Ziying's teasing words. Shen Yixiu understood more and more why many people said that his fiancé was wild and unrestrained. It was really the case. It was just that he was so good at coaxing girls, so why did they say that he was so unbridled? Not familiar with poetry?
According to Jun Yong, even several princes invited him to participate in poetry and cultural gatherings, but he refused.
Shen Yixiu naturally wouldn't ask Feng Ziying about these things. She just couldn't understand it. Feng Ziying's poetry level was definitely outstanding. Even though he only said a few words, he could write poems like this by touching the scene. It's more than enough for ordinary poetry and literary events.
Feng Ziying's words made her feel sweet, but her face still showed a sullen look. After snorting, Shen Yixiu took a step away from Feng Ziying while holding the scroll, pretending to read.
Feng Ziying didn't care about herself and kept a distance. It was fine to have this little fun between unmarried couples once in a while, but if it happened more often, it would be counterproductive.
However, Qingwen came up and asked with a smile, "What kind of tea do you want to drink?"
"Well, is there any tea that matches your girl's current mood?" Feng Ziying asked, tilting her head.
Qingwen blinked knowingly, "Are you trying to scare people?"
Feng Ziying couldn't help but praise Qingwen, with a smile on her face: "Qingwen still understands your girl, she is so scary!"
Shen Yixiu was also amused by this master and servant. No wonder Qingwen was so popular with Feng Ziying. Her agility and straightforward personality really made people reluctant to leave her.
The yard finally became quiet.
Today is the day of the Autumn Palace Competition.
All the people closely related to the Qiuwei Competition are looking forward to it.
Shen Yixiu is no exception.
When Shen Zizheng returned to his house, he found that his sister and future brother-in-law were already looking forward to it.
As a sister, although she has great confidence in her younger brother, she also knows how fierce the competition in the Autumn Games will be. If she performs poorly, she may lose her reputation.
Although Shen Zizheng works hard, how can others relax?
Shen Yixiu even thought about letting Shen Zizheng study at Qingtan Academy. After all, Qingtan Academy is more famous now, but she finally gave up the idea.
Not to mention whether this would damage Shen Zizheng's self-esteem, Shen Zizheng would definitely not agree. Such a transfer would also bring shame to Chongzheng Academy and cause Shen Zizheng a lot of trouble in the future.
"Jun Yong, how did you do in the exam?" When Shen Zizheng came back, Shen Yixiu couldn't help but step forward, his face full of anticipation.
Shen Zizheng nodded calmly, as if he had suddenly matured a lot after going through this exam.
"Sister, I did well in the exam. I think there should be no problem." Turning to Feng Ziying, Shen Zizheng had a little more complicated emotions. Although Shen Zizheng had accepted Feng Ziying as his brother-in-law for so long, but When I saw the other party, I still had a strange feeling, "Ziying, I still want to thank you. Without your reminder, I would not have gone so smoothly in this subject?"
"Oh?" Feng Ziying raised her eyebrows, "Why did Jun Yong say this?"
"The current policy review really examined the impact of river engineering strategy on the areas along the river in Henan. I did a good job..." Shen Zizheng took a breath. He had to admit the excellence of the other party. Although he just gave guidance, he actually did it. He was right.
Moreover, this question is beyond everyone's expectation. Although everyone has no understanding of this question, there are very few people who have thought about it in detail and depth. Fortunately, I am one of these few people.
"Oh, I really took the river engineering exam." Feng Ziying nodded, "It looks like Li San is about to join the cabinet."
"Ah?!" Shen Zizheng and Shen Yixiu shouted in surprise at the same time.
As the children of officials, they are not ignorant of some situations in the court. Li San is the minister of the Ministry of Industry. The cabinet is still short of a general assistant, but it has not been decided who will join the cabinet. In theory, Zhang Jingqiu, the minister of the Ministry of War, is the most popular Although Li Sancai is also popular as a candidate, he is not as good as Zhang Jingqiu.
"Why, is there anything surprising about this?" Feng Ziying smiled, "Master Li is quite favored by the Holy Spirit. River engineering and water transportation are particularly important to the current stable situation. In contrast, the rebellion in Western Xinjiang has been suppressed and the situation in Liaodong has not yet been revealed. I have a clue, my father has also taken office, and military affairs are not so urgent, so Mr. Li may be more suitable to join the cabinet now."
Feng Ziying said it very simply, and it seemed to be the same thing, but a major matter like joining the cabinet was obviously not as easy as he said. Of course, the factors he said must be true, but the specific inside story was not that Shen Yi was making peace. The two siblings Shen Zizheng can understand and understand.
It's fine for Shen Yixiu, but Shen Zizheng is doubtful.
He and Yang Sichang had always been on good terms, and Yang He, Yang Sichang's father, participated in suppressing the rebellion in Western Xinjiang last year. After returning, he was promoted to the right-hand censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Yang He had a close relationship with Chai Ke, the left minister of the Ministry of War, so these news are also Can be informed.
According to what Yang Sichang said, Zhang Jingqiu gained the emperor's trust more, so Zhang Jingqiu should be more likely to join the cabinet.
"Ziying, I'm afraid it would be a bit difficult to judge such a big event as joining the cabinet..." Shen Zizheng shook his head.
"Oh, Jun Yong doesn't believe it? Why don't we make a bet? If Li Sancai joins the cabinet, Jun Yong will remember to owe me a bet. If I offend your sister in any way, you will be responsible for speaking out for me. Well, if someone else joins the cabinet, I will lose a bet to Jun Yong. If there is an assignment in the future, I will just do it, how about it?"
Feng Ziying said with a smile.
Feng Ziying's bet was not easy to get, and his bet was not easy for him. Shen Zizheng judged that if he lost, the bet would be nothing more than a bet, but it could dampen the opponent's spirit and make him dare not Look down on the people in the world, so as not to keep others on top of you and make people unable to breathe.
"Okay, let's do it then." Shen Zizheng agreed enthusiastically, "Ziying must not break her promise."
Shen Yixiu really liked the way his fiancé and his brother interacted in this way. Although this was obviously a trick by his fiancé to bring the two families closer, and he was using himself as a ladder, Shen Yixiu was still very happy.
Feng Ziying smiled and said, "Jun Yong underestimates me. Am I that kind of person?"
One month later, on October 29, Li Sancai was appointed as the Grand Bachelor of Dongge.
