After Zhu Hao's operation, the business he cooperated with Jiang Lun was officially launched.
It is equivalent to opening a department store in the city, and it is also like a collection of collapsed buildings and warehouses. It mainly deals with the business of Prince Xing's Mansion, because in the past, this business was handled by Zhu Hao, but now it has become Jiang Lun in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Hao in the
Dark, a lot of policy risks were avoided at once.
At this time, the situation was very different from when Zhu Hao took over the business in the winter of the 10th year of Zhengde.
It has been nearly two years since Huang Zan came to the court as the Minister of Household Affairs. Even Su Xigui has not set foot in Anlu in the past year. He dare not reveal any signs of doing business with Prince Xing's Mansion.
Zhu Hao can be responsible for the business alone.
Even if Su Xigui didn't withdraw from Anlu's business, Zhu Hao himself would cash it out.
In the past, he had to rely on running the palace's business, firmly controlling the relationship with the palace, and creating an indispensable connection between the palace and him.
But now this relationship is very stable. If he continues to have official business dealings with the palace, it will not be a good thing for him who is about to take the provincial examination or even the general examination and become an official in the court.
"Leave the business to Jiang Mengzai, and you will make a lot less money... Do you want to imitate me, Mr. Tang, and live in poverty and be happy?"
In this matter, Tang Yin was uncharacteristically not asking Zhu Hao why.
He was no longer like when he first entered the palace and needed Zhu Hao's advice on everything.
He could understand Zhu Hao's move to pull away, but he still made a joke in front of Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao just responded casually: "If I can be poor and happy, I'm afraid that no one will die when I grow old..."
Tang Yin was instantly embarrassed.
Jiang Lun is crying there and complaining that he has no money to get a concubine and give him a son. Is your Tang Yin's situation very good?
Jiang Lun may really not be able to give birth, and you, Tang Yin, are a typical example of someone who is capable but has no money to give birth. After all, you once had a son and a daughter. Although your son is dead now and your daughter remains in your hometown... But if you die again in old age,
If you marry a wife and concubines, you may not have to worry about the inheritance of your incest.
Tang Yin was shocked by Zhu Hao, and then he didn't want to pay attention to Zhu Hao's venomous tongue, and instead went to drink wine.
…
…
It's October in the blink of an eye.
As the temporary academic envoy sent by the Chief Envoy came to Anlu, the scientific examination was about to be officially held. For several days, Zhu Hao was busy studying. To outsiders, Zhu Hao was just doing it temporarily, so he had to replace Zhu Hao.
Tang Yin, who taught several children, knew that Zhu Hao was looking for a way to escape.
At this time, Zhu Youqi had been exposed to closed treatment for a period of time. The quack doctor, although the treatment did not improve Zhu Youqi's health much, he still took a lot of money and left.
The palace probably wants to convey the idea that don't worry about not being able to cure the patient. As long as you have the ability, you can give it a try.
This time the scientific examination is only two four-book essays. The examination location is still in the Gongyuan, but the subjects of the examination are the students who have passed the examination in the past years. The intensity and atmosphere of the examination are much easier than the three examinations taken by the children.
.
On this day, teachers and students Zhu Hao and Sun Ru entered the examination room together.
Everyone in the Confucian Academy knew the master and apprentice, and a group of people joked and laughed as they entered the examination room.
Two four-book essays...
The exam was not as formal as Zhang Bangqi's own questions. Zhu Hao didn't even need to think about who would be the examiner, he could just write whatever came to his mind.
When Zhu Hao handed in his papers at noon, he found that many people had already handed in their papers and left the examination room.
For ordinary students, it is not easy to write two four-book essays a day, and they have to consider the words and so on. But for a group of students, this is a bit childish.
Many of his classmates were old academics who had been immersed in academics for decades. Apart from anything else, they were absolutely sophisticated in writing articles. Compared with them, Zhu Hao asked himself that he might not be able to win the first place, or that he had no idea of winning the first place, and there was no such thing as this kind of exam.
The first point of the case is that as long as you can pass the first or second class, or get the top third class, you can securely obtain the qualifications for the provincial examination.
There was no delay and the results were released the next day.
Zhu Hao passed the first-class exam, and Sun Ru passed the second-class exam. They both successfully passed the examination, and their qualifications for the next year's provincial examination were finalized.
Jiang Lun insisted on Zhang Luo celebrating Zhu Hao, and even called Sun Ru out. After all, Sun Ru was his nominal son's junior fellow student. He kept pouring wine for Sun Ru while drinking, which made Zhu Hao and Tang Yin on the side very embarrassed.
This person Sun Ru...
He was very arrogant in front of strangers and his eyes were too high to describe his arrogance. In other words, Jiang Lun was so cheerful and good-tempered that even Tang Yin, the cheap master, wanted to kick this kid out the door.
"Did you see that? Jiang Mengzai is very wealthy now. In the past, he only picked up cheap drinks... I didn't expect that as the uncle of the prince, he had so much bitterness in the past."
After drinking wine, Tang Yin was still sighing with emotion when he returned to the palace with Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Mr. Tang, do you want to join the business?"
Tang Yin was a little moved, but still waved his hand: "Forget it, at this point in my life, I no longer think about the future... I have seen myself aging day by day in the past few years, and I will soon reach the age where I know my destiny. I still care about so many things."
What are you doing outside of yourself?"
Having said that, Zhu Hao could clearly feel that Tang Yin had people and things hidden in his heart.
Thinking that the coming year will be the year of King Ning's Rebellion in history, if nothing unexpected happens, the woman who is the last concern in Tang Yin's heart will die in the river...
Zhu Hao thought to himself, how about I find a way for you to fish a woman from the river?
I can only think about this matter. If I get involved with Prince Ning and rescue Princess Ning secretly, I will be in big trouble in the future.
But it seems that there is no solution, it just depends on whether you have the intention.
…
…
Zhu Hao successfully passed the scientific examination.
Mother Zhu was naturally very happy. She was relieved that Zhu Hao was studying in the palace, but she didn't know that her son was already playing the role of a teacher in the palace, and she didn't have much time to calm down and study.
Zhu Hao in the palace, after the scientific examination, became Zhu Si's husband full-time.
The New Year is approaching.
The fourteenth year of Zhengde, a magnificent period in history, is about to begin. This year is of great significance to Zhu Hao.
Not only was it probably his last year in the palace, it was also the year he took the provincial examination. According to the normal development of history, this year would also be the year Zhu Youqi died, the year Zhu Houcong became King Xing, and the Ning Dynasty happened.
The King's Rebellion brought about a year that changed the succession of the Chinese throne and the direction of history.
Although Zhu Houzhao died in the spring of the 16th year of Zhengde in history, his death began in the 14th year of Zhengde when he went south to personally conquer the rebellion of King Ning. He made a mighty expedition to the south of the Yangtze River and eventually fell into the water and fell ill.
But due to the butterfly effect, everything may not develop as it did in history. After all, Zhu Houzhao's death is extremely uncertain. It does not mean that Zhu Hao does not have direct contact with Zhu Houzhao. Emperor Zhengde will definitely follow the course of history.
Falling into the same body of water at the same time.
This is also what Zhu Hao is worried about.
His actions in Anlu have gradually affected this era.
From a broad perspective, if Zhu Houzhao had not personally conquered the country, he would not have fallen into the water; if he had not gone north to return to the court at the same time after the personal expedition, he would not have fallen into the water; all the times, places and people who appeared must correspond to each other.
Coincidences will happen that will affect history.
This is obviously impossible to imitate.
Although life and death are determined by destiny and success is determined by God, Zhu Hao always felt that he should do something to ensure that the historical trajectory would not cause major deviations.
…
…
Zhu Hao continued to teach Zhu Si years ago.
The New Year is coming soon.
Over the past year, Zhu Si has made rapid progress. He has written four essays and five classics at hand, and his writing has become more mature. According to Zhu Hao's estimation, it may be a bit difficult for him to take the college examination at his level, but he will have to pass the county examination and the government examination.
There are no more problems.
And more importantly, Zhu Hao cultivated Zhu Si's dialectical materialism. When teachers and students sat down to discuss Taoism, even Tang Yin sometimes felt a headache.
From the perspective of argument, Zhu Si will not be limited to the four books and five classics. His personal opinions are very in line with the current situation, and he dares to debate because he has Zhu Hao and Jinghong around him.
Although Jinghong still needs to improve academically compared to Zhu Hao, he has fulfilled his responsibility as a companion to the royal family.
In the spring of next year, Jinghong will also take part in the county examination.
This is a decision that Jinghong made carefully after discussing with his family in the middle of the year.
Compared with Zhu Si, Jinghong's ability to write articles does not have much advantage. Being smart when he was young may not guarantee that he will be superior in writing as an adult. With the same gentleman, Zhu Si is often taken advantage of by Tang Yin and Zhu Hao. Jinghong
It is not easy to maintain a certain advantage.
Zhu Hao also has high hopes for Jinghong.
According to Zhu Hao's estimation, Jinghong has a high chance of passing the county and prefectural examinations in the next year. If he can successfully pass it, he will be able to take the college examination in the fifteenth year of Zhengde...
Maybe there will be more young talents in the palace.
…
…
The course ended early today.
Zhu Hao called Zhu Si aside alone and told him a story.
Recently, Zhu Si has been begging Zhu Hao to tell him about opera. Other stories about strange things and martial arts novels are also Zhu Si's favorite content.
What Zhu Hao is talking about this time is a "poignant love story". It tells the story of an old scholar who was depressed and was later rescued by a lady from a wealthy family. They fell in love with each other, but due to their identities, they could not be together. In the end, they separated.
The young lady gave him a generous gift, and the old scholar lived in a foreign land...
It is a secondary creation based on the story between Tang Yin and Lou Suzhen.
Of course, in reality, the story between the two is most likely to be the unrequited love of "Prince Xiang is interested in the goddess but not the goddess". Even if Princess Ning has a bad relationship with her husband, she is still a married woman and will not be in a relationship with you.
What kind of spiritual love does the old man play?
But when you tell a story, it has to be engaging.
For Zhu Si, who was still ignorant about love and love, but at the same time longed for beautiful and pure love, this story was very pleasant to listen to.
"What happened next?"
Zhu Si hurriedly asked about this story without an ending.
Zhu Hao sighed: "The story has no ending, because the woman from a wealthy family will soon be convicted, her family will be imprisoned, and she herself will jump into the river and die... As for the old scholar, he can only bury this relationship deeply.
