Chapter 75: Children from various families (Part 2) sodu777.net
Since the children invited and selected today were all children between the ages of seven and ten, Emperor Longqing, who was always kind and kind, did not put on any airs and let a group of children stand at the foot of the steps to wait, but let them rest in the side hall first.
Gao Pragmatic didn't wear a trousers today, but changed into a simple dark blue straight?, with an ordinary white sheepskin waistcoat over his head. Although his attire was not outstanding, he was still elegant.
At this moment, he had already greeted several other "candidates" and exchanged names with each other. They were all underage, so of course they didn't have a first name, let alone a nickname, so they had to call each other "brother"
proportionate.
After some greetings, Gao Jingshi found out that after Ge Shouli, Sun Gexi was the closest to him. He always said "Brother Gao" when he spoke, and his words were steady and not like a child. The second was Ma Ziqiang's second son Ma Zhen.
, I am also very close to Gao's pragmatic attitude, but this guy seems a little reserved or not good at words. He doesn't like to talk much most of the time. I don't know if it's because he is facing this kind of situation for the first time and he can't let go.
Shen Yongmao is older than Gao Jingshi, and is already ten years old this year. Although he is quite polite to Gao Jingshi, his expression is somewhat disdainful of such a "little brother"; Li Sicheng and Lu Xingzhou are not on good terms with Gao Jingshi.
Bad, they exchanged a few greetings but had no intention of communicating more.
The most interesting ones are Zhao Zuyin and Zhang Jianxiu.
Zhao Zuyin is also nine years old this year. He is the oldest among the group of children except Shen Yongmao, and his body is taller than the short and thin Shen Yongmao. He seems to have found confidence because of this, keeping his chest and belly out.
, with a look of looking forward to Zixiong.
Gao pragmatic looked at it and couldn't help but curled his lips in his heart and said to himself: Your grandfather Zhao Zhenji looks after Zixiong in the cabinet. At least he has some confidence. After all, he is known as one of the "Four Great Masters in Sichuan" and has a prosperous literary reputation. In addition, he was a famous scholar at that time.
Yan Song's courage to be tough and arrogant can be regarded as a result of his character, but you, a boy, have to be talented but not learned, and capable but not capable. It is really "whoever is domineering is the hero".
Li Sicheng is different. His temperament is not exactly like that of Li Chunfang. Li Chunfang always has a smile on his face and refuses to offend anyone. Even those with much lower official positions than him, he can smile at them.
Yesterday, Hai Rui probably received the news that Gao Gong had written to Cai Guoxi asking Yingtian Mansion to keep an eye on the Songjiang land withdrawal case, so he wrote a memorial to the capital to scold the emperor. The article was no longer as scolding Emperor Jiajing in the past.
"You're welcome", this time even pointed the finger at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, saying that all the people in the Manchu Dynasty were women.
At that time, no matter Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, or Chen Yiqin, their faces turned dark after hearing this, but they just held back and said nothing. Zhao Zhenji even looked at Li Chunfang with an angry look on his face. Li Chunfang was the chief assistant, so others could not speak, but he had to
After talking, he was stunned for a long time, then said with a wry smile: Since the whole court is full of women, I must be an old woman.
All the ministers in the cabinet were shocked: I have seen cowards, but I have never seen anyone so cowardly. This chief minister is too cowardly.
But Li Sicheng's impression of Gao Pragmatism is not exactly the same as that of Li Chunfang, his grandfather. Although he smiles when talking to others, it is not a "compensatory" smile, but a polite smile. When others talk,
If it is not in line with his intention, although he will not refute it, he will never agree with it. In short, this person is probably the kind of person who has been influenced by Li Chunfang but still persists in his high pragmatic observation.
Reminiscent of Li Sicheng's later history of passing the Jinshi examination in the 26th year of Wanli with the 17th place in the second class, Gao Pragmatic felt that this person still needs to be paid attention to.
Not long after, several eunuchs came in from outside. The leader of them, Gao Xiangshi, was the number one person in the inner court today, Meng Chong, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony. And the man who was half a step behind him was not Yi Yi's generation, it was Si.
The ceremonial supervisor Bingbi and the east factory supervisor Feng Bao.
Because Meng Chong was recommended by Gao Gong, he had met Gao Jingshi before when Gao Gongshi entered the palace with Gao Gong. When he met Gao Gongshi now, he even nodded to him specially, and then he stood still.
He said in a voice: "Your Majesty declares that all the ministers and disciples will come to see you."
Feng Baoze continued: "Please tidy up your appearance a little, and then follow us to the audience. Remember, you must not lose etiquette in front of you."
For the sake of a few brats, the No. 1 and No. 2 Superintendent of Ceremonies of the Labor Department actually came in person. This shows that Emperor Longqing really treated this matter as a big deal, and at least he gave him a lot of face. Of course, in theory, this face must be given.
Not for these children themselves.
The children arranged their appearance one after another, and then consciously walked to Meng Chong and Feng Bao according to their elders' official positions and seniority. Meng Chong frowned when he saw Gao Pragmatic walking behind Li Sicheng, as if he wanted to call Gao Pragmatic temporarily.
Road ahead.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gao pragmatically shook his head slightly at him. Meng Chong had already opened his lips slightly, but he gave up after seeing Gao pragmatically's look.
Gao Pingshi breathed a sigh of relief, but he caught a glimpse of Feng Bao twitching his nose on one side, as if snorting silently, and couldn't help but said: This is not good, it seems that Feng Bao not only despises Meng Chong, but also looks down on Meng Chong.
Even if I have deep resentment, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to win him over. But... Meng Chong is really not doing well in his work. He is so blatant that I'm afraid it's a bit too muddy to hold him up, which is a bit difficult.
Done.
Fortunately, nothing else went wrong. Everyone followed Meng Chong and Feng Bao from the side hall to the main hall of Wenhua Hall. According to the most formal etiquette, they entered without looking directly at each other and bowed slightly.
The same was true for Gao Pragmatic, so he didn't see the specific situation in the palace.
But this problem was solved immediately, because he heard Emperor Longqing's gentle voice like the uncle next door: "Haha, all the gentlemen are here, okay, okay, don't be restrained, just raise your heads and let me see
look."
When the children heard this, they each raised their heads. Long Qing looked at them carefully and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, all good."
I don’t know what aspects of his “not bad” evaluation are based on it. If we look at appearance alone, there is indeed no one here who looks completely crooked. Most of them are at least average-looking. In terms of temperament, these are
After all the children are civil servants and have good family backgrounds, they are naturally not comparable to ordinary children - at least on the surface they are always a little better.
Gao pragmatism noticed that Emperor Longqing himself was sitting on the throne of the emperor in the palace, and there was one person on his left and right hands. As usual, the left one was the prince. It didn't matter. No matter how young he was, his status was the prince, so he must occupy the honorable position.
.On the right side of Long Qing, sat a beauty in palace dress who was only in her early twenties, with pink and phoenix eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, and Yao nose and cherry lips.
