One hundred and sixty-seven chapters from the same jinshi
The most important place in the world to be well-matched is not marriage but officialdom.
The seventh-rank official who is the prime minister's disciple.
What about the prime minister's son?
What grade of official is that?
This is really hard to say.
Wen Jifu has a handsome appearance, and his speech and behavior are both graceful and elegant. He is calm in manners and calm beyond his years. Such a man will inevitably play the role of the second male lead in women's novels.
One sentence: Living in Bianjing is not easy.
It sounds different to different people.
Some people talk like they are looking down from above, which makes people angry immediately. But when Wen Jifu said it, he considered you from the perspective of a friend, and he was very close to you.
Zhang Yue knew that the other party was right.
Housing prices in the Song Dynasty were surprisingly expensive.
The double-story building in the county town is worth 150 yuan. How much is the house price in Bianjing City? Zhang Yue had no intention of asking. Even in areas prone to waterlogging along the Bianhe and Caihe rivers, Zhang Yue did not consider it.
Passed.
Even big guys like Ouyang Xiu now have to rent a house, let alone buy one.
Zhang Yue thought for a moment and said, "As Mr. Liulang said, it is true that living in Bianjing is not easy."
Wen Jifu smiled at Zhang Yue's frankness, from the first meeting, to Wang Anguo's introduction, and finally to chatting with Zhang Yue.
Wen Jifu's evaluation of Zhang Yue can be said to have gradually risen all the way.
The fifteenth mother on the side was anxious. What does her husband mean by not showing any concern? Why don't you make it clear soon?
Wen Jifu said: "Sanlang, I am joking. There is no reason for a person's wealth. Since ancient times, it has always been the case that princes, generals, and ministers have the right to be with each other."
The fifteenth mother was anxious after hearing this. How could she say such a thing? She looked at a vase aside and put it down on the ground.
The sound of the vase rolling was of course heard by everyone present. Wen Jifu knew that his wife was dissatisfied and was urging him.
Wen Jifu smiled slightly. He knew his wife's temperament. She dared to make decisions and was decisive, but sometimes her vision was a little too far-sighted.
We cannot blindly emphasize that men should not be ungrateful when they become successful. They should also be respected when they are in humble circumstances.
Throughout the ages, Zhu Maichen has had many incidents.
However, when Wen Jifu thought about Zhu Maichen, he also felt that he recognized Zhang Yue. Sometimes, without too many words, you can tell whether this person is reliable or not.
Just by virtue of his frankness and his neither humble nor arrogant attitude, he already stood out from many people. Of course, he couldn't see the rest.
Wen Jifu said with a smile: "Sanlang, it's our first time meeting you here. It's really shabby here. I'll invite you to my house to talk to you in two days. I'll host a banquet in your honor."
Zhang Yue said: "Mr. Wenliu, you're welcome."
"Hey, what are Saburo's hobbies on weekdays? He's good at archery and pot throwing, so we can get together."
Zhang Yue said: "I know a little bit about it."
"Very good."
After hearing what her husband said, the fifteenth mother knew she was defending her husband. Her husband did not make all friends, and he always kept away from those who were greedy for wealth. But inviting Zhang Yue to his house showed that the other party recognized him very much.
Wen Jifu said with a smile: "Brother Wang will come with us then, and we will have a good chat."
Wang Anguo smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Liu Lang, but I'm busy with summer classes these next few days, so I won't disturb you."
Having said this, the servants served soup. Zhang Yue and Wang Anguo all stood up and left after drinking tea.
Wen Jifu smiled and said, "Let me send you two off."
After seeing off Zhang Yue and Wang Anguo, Wen Jifu returned to the pavilion and saw the fifteenth mother with a livid face.
"Madam, calm down."
"How can I calm down? I have watched Shi Qi grow up since I was a child, and I have been coaxed by others with a few frivolous words. Those are things that only happen in small families. How could you do it in your own home? You want me
How can I feel at ease?"
Wen Jifu knew in his heart that his wife and Shi Qi had been on bad terms since childhood, and now she was more concerned about the reputation of her Wu family. If something went wrong in Shi Qi's marriage, it would not only bring shame to the Wu family, but also bring shame to their wives.
A married woman will never be able to hold her head high in her husband's family.
Wen Jifu smiled and said, "Madam, sit down, take a sip of tea, and let me talk to you slowly."
The maid on the side served tea to Fifteen Niang.
The fifteenth mother was not in the mood to drink, but after taking a look at Wen Jifu's face, she took a sip from the tea bowl and said, "It's time for the officials to speak up!"
Wen Jifu smiled and said, "Madam, let me ask you, how do you and your three sisters treat each other?"
The fifteenth mother hesitated for a moment.
Wen Jifu then added: "Everyone of them is a shrewd and capable person. How can an ordinary man catch his eye with his little tricks? If he is really here to climb a high tree, I don't know? As for Seventeen, I have seen him a few times.
She is a very determined person, so maybe my perspective on people is not as good as hers."
The fifteenth mother said: "How do I know that even though the seventeenth...has been outstanding since childhood, she has been raised in a boudoir since she was a child, so how do I know that the people outside are sinister."
Wen Jifu said with a smile: "My lady is right. There are many women who are foolish when they encounter this matter, but I think Qi Qi is still very sensible. As for this chapter of Sanlang Jun, I just read it, although it only contains a few words.
But you know he is a talented person. Otherwise, why would I invite him to sit at home for a while?"
The fifteenth mother nodded and said: "I also told you to invite him to your home to interrogate him."
Wen Jifu said with a smile: "Why do you need to invite someone to your home to inquire about the details? Just send someone to check."
"That's right, it's rare to see you treat others like this."
Wen Jifu said: "Madam, I was just afraid that you would be impulsive. If you rashly went out to inquire and bumped into someone else, how would the sisters get along with each other in the future? Even if this person doesn't marry Shiqi, I don't think he has been under someone else for a long time, so I don't want to
It’s okay if you offend someone.”
The fifteenth mother then thought about it, Zhang Sanlang entered the imperial college at the age of fifteen, and if he had a good future, he would not be unworthy of the seventeenth one. Hearing what her husband said, she felt that he had thought carefully.
However, the fifteenth mother smiled in front of her and said, "The family tradition of your Wen family is so cautious. Your temperament is very much like that of dad."
Wen Jifu said with a smile: "No matter how close I am to my father, he is the one who sails the ship of ten thousand years carefully. But don't worry, madam, I will go and find out the details of Zhang Sanlang... Zhang Yue's name seems familiar."
"In the beginning, human beings are inherently good by nature. Their natures are similar... That's right. Isn't the three-character poem that has been passed down among the people exactly the one written by Mr. Sanlang in this chapter? I just didn't think of it."
Wen Jifu showed a look of astonishment.
Fifteen Niang had obviously heard of the name of this three-character poem and asked: "Is this the three-character poem that Li Taibo, who was in charge of Gou Taixue, said last time?"
Wen Jifu nodded and said, "Madam, you almost missed something important just now."
"After the three-character poem was presented, the officials handed the poem over to the Zhongshu officials for discussion. At that time, some people advocated giving the son a 'same background as the Jinshi', but they objected. He was young and could only be twelve or thirteen years old.
There must be some fallacy in this article. We should wait for verification to avoid making people laugh. My father once told me about this, yes, I still remember it." Wen Jifu said.
"Born with Jinshi?" It was Fifteen Niang's turn to be a little surprised.
What does it mean to be ‘born with the same Jinshi’.
As the name suggests, being of the same Jinshi origin means ‘not being a Jinshi, but being treated as a Jinshi’.
Those who were born as Jinshi were treated as Jinshi in the top three or four grades, and those who were born as Jinshi were treated the same as those who were born in the top three or four.
When Yan Shu passed the examination as a fourteen-year-old prodigy, the officials gave him the treatment of being "from the same background as a Jinshi".
But now the palace examination is not going to give up.
Therefore, the fifth-level Jinshi will all be given the gift of "being born with the same Jinshi".
The implication is that you people, who are at the bottom of the rankings, were not qualified in the original palace examination. But now that the palace examination no longer screens people, you will all be arranged to be "from the same Jinshi".
But now it has become first-class treatment in the officialdom.
If Zhang Yue receives this treatment, he can be an official, but the prerequisite is that he must be selected by the Ministry of Personnel.
Fifteen Niang didn't know that Zhang Yue had passed by someone who was "born as a Jinshi", but even if they had passed by each other, what about the man who could write this three-character poem in his teens?
The fifteenth mother was speechless at this moment.
Wen Jifu said: "Now I have to take back my words. Regardless of whether I have the same Jinshi background or not, it would be easy for this person to live in Bianjing."
The fifteenth mother said: "It's not that I look down on this man's background, it's just that the four sisters have joined high-ranking families. Wouldn't it be wrong if Shiqi married a poor family... Now I just want to know how Shiqi met this Sanlang? Could it be?
The last time we met on the way home, we met in the countryside."
Wen Jifu smiled and said, "You might as well ask Shi Qi yourself. Madam?"
When the fifteenth mother heard this, she paused and thought to herself, since she was a child, she had been competing with the seventeenth, how could she lose the battle with her husband?
"She is very brave. She fell in love with the right man, but she put aside the teachings of her father and mother, and even ignored us sisters? If something happens, I really don't know how it will end."
When Wen Jifu heard this, he couldn't help but secretly laugh.
However, Zhang Yue didn't know that his three-character poem almost made him "born as a Jinshi".
At this moment, he is still a sophomore in Taixue.
After a new round of supervisory examinations, new Taixue students have been admitted to Taixue.
Although there is insufficient funding for running schools in Taixue, the quota for Taixue students was increased from 450 to 600 last year. Among the 600 quotas, there are also quotas for 100 Jinshi and dozens of people to assist in scientific research. This time
Many people see the hope of a shortcut to Zhongnan.
Therefore, the well-connected people tried every means to force their children to come to Taixue.
Li Gou and Wu Zhongfu felt deeply that a large number of people would inevitably cause some inconvenience in management. Although they wanted to evade, the matter was not something they could decide. Therefore, after deducting those who left Laosheng and those who were released as officials last year, the number of Taisheng students reached 800 in one go.
Multiple people.
Therefore, all the residences in Taixue were full at once.
As for Zhang Yue's dormitory, three new students also came.
Zhang Yue now took over Liu Zuo's role and became the dormitory chief. Now he was going to see Li Gou to arrange the allocation of new students.
Zhang Yue and Huang Haoyi chatted all the way.
Huang Haoyi said: "Sanlang, Chief Liu won the first prize, and now the position of chief is vacant. I think you have a good relationship with Li Zhi, so why not talk to him. In the future, when you become chief, you will have your own opinions on everything.
, so that I can benefit from your light."
Zhang Yue glanced at Huang Haoyi and said angrily: "You must have taken advantage of the convenience of my captain to stay out all night and go in and out of the Imperial Academy under the name of 'Gan Feng'."
Huang Haoyi smiled sheepishly and said, "Sanlang, I can't hide anything from you."
