Chapter 437 Syndrome before the announcement

When Tang Yin found Zhu Hao, it was already February 21st, and it was not far away from the release of the results of the examination.

Zhu Hao was busy with laboratory matters. A workshop he opened in the capital was beginning to take shape, and he hired more than forty female workers to spin and weave. There were people coming and going in the workshop, but Zhu Hao did not come in person.

The workshop supervisor only stayed in the warehouse to randomly check the quality of the output cloth, and taught the few apprentices following him to use crochet needles to repair some small flaws.

When Tang Yin came, he saw Zhu Hao wearing an apron, overalls and a cloth hat.

This look...

Tang Yin was amused for a while and couldn't help but said: "I don't know, I thought you were a knitting girl. You are the official of the Ming Dynasty, so you don't care about your image so much?"

Zhu Hao handed the crochet hook to the apprentice on the side and walked out of the warehouse side by side with Tang Yin. He didn't even change his work clothes. He went to a nearby room and poured Tang Yin a glass of water without even putting a piece of tea. Tang Yin really didn't want to drink this.

I drank tasteless boiled water and waved my hand to say you're welcome.

"I am not only a member of the Ming Dynasty, but also the head of my workshop. I come from my workshop to supervise and coordinate the work. Do I need to care about other people's opinions?"

Zhu Hao's tone was calm.

Tang Yin thought for a while and realized there was nothing wrong with what he said.

It's like saying that no matter how successful a person is in court, he is still a child born and raised by his parents, and will be suppressed as soon as he returns home.

The same person plays many roles in society.

Tang Yin said: "According to the rules, the examination results will be released two days before and after February 25th. Seeing that the time is approaching, why are you not in a hurry?"

"What's the use of being anxious?" Zhu Hao asked with a smile, "The list is not released every February 25th, right? Sir, the list was released on a trial basis at that session, wasn't it delayed until the end of the month?"

Tang Yin was very dissatisfied. He wanted to say that the reason why it was postponed until the end of the month was to trick me? The problem broke out and the court had to re-examine every test paper.

But facing Zhu Hao, who knew everything, Tang Yin knew that it was useless to say anything, so he could only ask in a recreational tone: "Then you don't have the confidence to be on the list?"

Zhu Hao sighed: "Where do people come from so much self-confidence? I said I can pass the Jinshi exam in one try. Do you believe me, sir? Being able to take the test depends not only on talent and learning, but also on the strategy of governing the country. I understand even before the test is over.

The truth behind this.

"Sometimes it's better to be pragmatic. Just like my workshop, which had nothing two months ago, you can see that after my hard work, I have been able to produce cloth and earn dozens of taels every month..."

"Are you someone who cares about tens of taels a month?"

Tang Yin first scolded him with a straight face, then frowned, "How can you make money by weaving?"

Zhu Hao smiled.

If you say I shouldn't care, wouldn't you, Tang Yin, do the same?

"Look at what Mr. said, who is not living in this world? Seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all free of charge? It's useless to be arrogant. The less confident I am to pass the Jinshi examination, the more focused I must be.

As for reality...forget it, if you don’t talk about this, do you have anything else to do, sir?"

Zhu Hao wanted to be reasonable, but is it useful to talk about the philosophy of life to an old guy who has lived for fifty years and is half dead? Even if you explain everything comprehensively, people will sneer at you.



Why, I am an old man with no life experience, so I need your advice? Even if you really know more than others, do you think I will listen to your nonsense?

Tang Yin kept chattering: "You also know about the fight between Shouning Hou and Qingyun Hou in the capital to rob shops. Aren't you afraid that the business will be done and someone will take it away?"

Zhu Hao shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid."

"Um?"

Tang Yin thought to himself, you are so stubborn.

You are not afraid of being noticed for your profitable business? Do you think you can withstand the persecution of the powerful with your own abilities? It is too much to take it for granted that you rely on Prince Xing’s Mansion to support you!

"Sir, look at my business, it's not just about technology, it's about science and technology... If it's just about technology, if you take away my workshop, machines and craftsmen, he can completely support this business.

But if it involves technology work, he definitely can’t do it without me." Zhu Hao said with a smile.

Tang Yin frowned.

What kind of technical work, technical work, why can’t I understand it at all?

"Dongzhu Su has been looking for you..."

As soon as Tang Yin finished speaking, Zhu Hao interrupted him with his hand.

Zhu Haodao: "I know about his return to Beijing, and I have sent someone to tell him. I have given him what he asked for from me. As for Huang Shilang's evaluation in the official examination and what kind of official he will be in the future,

It’s not something I can interfere with…”

"Then...what will happen next for Mr. Huang?"

Tang Yin asked with concern.

Zhu Hao shrugged: "I told you there are two possibilities before. One is to stay in the capital and be transferred to Liubu Zuoshilang, the other is to be transferred to Nanhubu Shangshu. Now there is a third possibility. Even Huangshilang is tired of the intrigues in the officialdom.

Career, I have the intention of quitting... With the experience of the right minister of household affairs, it is not a bad choice to become an official, after all, he is not young."

Tang Yin took a breath and said, "He has managed the household department in such a good order in the past two years. It would be a pity if he just quits."

Zhu Hao said: "Who says it's not the case? But look at the situation in this court. There are cowardly kings and sycophants at the top, and powerful ministers at the bottom. Do you think it is easy for someone like him without a strong background to make a name for himself in the court? This

The current situation forces capable ministers to retreat in a rapid fashion. Who among those with lofty ambitions wants to be an official?"

Tang Yin almost spat out his saliva after hearing this.

You kid...do you mean you don’t want to be an official?

"Of course, sir, you may slander me and think that I'm duplicitous when I squeeze my head into the court, but I'm not what you say is a capable person, and I don't have any great ambitions. Besides, I want to be an official in the next dynasty, and some people want to be two."

A senator of one dynasty, a senator of three dynasties or even more, it is enough for me to serve as an official for the prince for one dynasty."

Zhu Hao said with a smile.

Tang Yin rolled his eyes: "You really take it for granted... You told Concubine Lou that in the next two years it will be... Huh!?"

Zhu Hao shrugged: "Yes, I asked her to persuade you to stay with the Crown Prince and do more for the court."

Tang Yin said: "Have you ever thought about it, if the new emperor does not ascend the throne in two years..."

"No, no, what's the big deal? Give Concubine Lou a hope, let her inspire you to serve the country and the people, and be brave in doing things. Did I do something wrong? She lacks a goal in life now, and you also lack the motivation to make progress. You guys

Two people who are both living in this mortal world are like duckweeds, relying on each other to encourage each other, isn't it a win-win situation?"



Zhu Hao's words stunned Tang Yin for a moment.

"Okay sir, when the results are released, I will take a look...the results will be different from the previous exams. I still want to witness it in person. Then I will ask you to go with me. Maybe God will bless me and I will pass the test in one go.

?To say that taking the Jinshi exam...it's really a torture. Nine days is like going to jail, suffering from hunger and cold. I don't want to come next time..."

Tang Yin was speechless for a while after hearing this.





Then Tang Yin left Zhu Hao alone, since it was only a few days before the results were released.

When Tang Yin went to teach Zhu Si, Zhu Si kept asking about Zhu Hao's current situation.

"Sir, Zhu Hao hasn't been here for a while. I miss him very much... Didn't I promise that he would continue to teach me after the exam? Why is he missing... Also, my uncle told me before that using

It won't be long before I can return to Anlu, why is there no definite news yet?"

Zhu Si's question was difficult for Tang Yin. He thought about it carefully and finally shook his head to express his ignorance.

At the end of the class, the speaker was not interested, and the listeners were even more drowsy. The young and old just pretended to hold on until the end of the get out of class.

In the past, Zhu Si would have gone to play a long time ago, but now he was in a foreign land and his energy was much worse than before. He didn't want to have fun even after class.

"Your Majesty, you can rest now. You don't have to go to school for the next two days. You can make your own arrangements."

Tang Yin thought of Zhu Hao's previous reminder to him to pay attention to Zhu Si's emotional changes to prevent this kid from going to extremes, so he took the initiative to say to Zhu Si that he could go play.

Zhu Si was absent-minded and said: "Staying here in the capital is meaningless."

Tang Yin said: "Isn't there a troupe singing? There are cricket fighting, cock fighting, dog fighting, etc. outside..."

Zhu Si cried with a sad face: "It's pointless to play with those things all the time. I...I miss my mother. It's better to stay at home."

Tang Yin thought to himself, he really was hit by that.

Even if he could live freely in the capital, he could not hide the fact that Zhu Si was just a child. Such a child could not bear to be separated from his family for a long time. However, Tang Yin immediately thought of Jinghong... That boy Jinghong had been studying in a foreign land for so many years.

How did you get through it?

"By the way, Your Majesty, the examination results will be released in two days. How about making an appointment with Zhu Hao to watch the results together?" Tang Yin took the initiative to invite him.

When Zhu Si heard this, there was finally some light in his eyes: "Very good. Will Zhu Hao go then?"

Tang Yin said: "He said he would go."

"Then why hasn't he come to see me in the past two days?" Zhu Si asked hurriedly.

Tang Yin was speechless for a moment.

Yes, why didn't that kid even want to see Zhu Si after the exam?

busy?

No matter how busy you are, you can still spare some time, right?

That kid has already warned Zhu Si that without you by his side, he would go to extremes psychologically. You are still ignoring him like this? Did you have a quarrel? I didn’t hear about it!

Tang Yin said: "Actually, Zhu Hao has been busy doing something big recently. I asked him, but he refused to say it clearly. I guess he must be busy working for you, the crown prince."

Zhu Si's little eyes were full of energy: "Let me tell you, Zhu Hao will not leave me alone. The big thing he does is to help me become the emperor."

Tang Yin originally said this casually to comfort Zhu Si, but who knew that Zhu Si actually took it seriously.

However, Tang Yin thought about it and realized that his analysis was not unreasonable.

He and Zhu Hao had known each other for more than a day or two. When he discovered that Zhu Hao had made some abnormal actions, there must be a big conspiracy hidden behind it. Even Tang Yin was used to this.

Since it was unusual for Zhu Hao not to see Zhu Si this time, the analysis said that he was doing something big secretly. Is it wrong?

"When the prince sees him, ask him personally," Tang Yin said.

Zhu Si smiled and waved his hand: "No, I believe Zhu Hao. He will never harm me. When I was a child, he saved my life many times. Even my father and mother said that he is

My lucky star, with him here, maybe I can really become the emperor...

"Sir, you go and get busy. I'm looking for someone to fight cocks... Hey, speaking of which, my black general hasn't been out in the sun for a long time. He's going to show off his glory today!"
