I knew that Zhang Yue was a great person, but I didn't expect that he was so great that he could even speak freely in front of the rich Xianggong and sit down and talk about Taoism.
Before leaving in the end, Fu Bi's words were generous enough to make Zhang Yue famous.
I’ll see your article on the imperial examination!
Although everyone in this meeting has become a foil.
Huang Lu didn't mind. Anyway, it was enough to meet Fu Xianggong and know what the dignity of a prime minister was. As for appreciation or not, it was impossible to force it. Zhang Yue was appreciated by Fu Bi because of his good fortune. Let's talk about Fu Bi himself.
None of his sons passed the Jinshi examination. If he really cared about him, he would never be like this. Therefore, Mr. Fu's words may not be so magical.
Huang Haoyi has been convinced by Zhang Yue for a long time, but now he thinks that a person who is appreciated by even the richest husband will definitely not have to run away in the future. Now Huang Haoyi is full of ideas.
Huang Haoyi's brother is related to Zhang Dun by marriage, and he and he are fellow townsmen and classmates. This friendship is not ordinary. In his opinion, if Zhang Yue succeeds in the future, he will not be able to live with his conscience without giving him a hand.
Guo Lin was happy for Zhang Yue, but also felt that he couldn't keep up with his junior brother even if he was flattering, and he would need to work harder after returning.
Only Sun Guo is a little depressed.
He is a disciple of Shao Yong, and his teacher is a good friend of Fu Xianggong, but Fu Xianggong and Fu Dalangjun did not mention him or even express a word of concern.
Mr. Fu is not considerate enough.
Just now, Zhang Caiyue climbed up the steps. In fact, he was suspected of being rude, and the rich man didn't care.
Fu Shaoting stayed and spoke a few words with everyone, and then said to Zhang Yue: "Sanlang is so young and so talented, which is really impressive. I wonder if he has ever been married?"
Everyone on the side pricked up their ears after hearing this.
Fu Shaoting’s question is really profound.
What is the family background of a rich family?
Fu Bi’s eldest daughter and second daughter married Feng Jing successively.
Who is Feng Jing?
A handsome guy, not only the first prize but also the third prize.
It is also an interesting story that Feng Jingzhong won the first prize. It is said that a minister wanted to make his nephew win the first prize. He found out that Feng Jing was good, so he eliminated all those who bribed the examiner and had Feng.
After Feng Jing found out, he changed the name on the paper to "Ma Liang".
As a result, the number one scholar was Ma Liang.
After Feng Jing won the three-dollar prize, the emperor's relative Zhang Yaozuo captured his son-in-law and forced Feng Jing to come to his home to marry his daughter to her. Zhang Yaozuo held a banquet and personally tied a gold belt around his waist and said:
: "This is what the emperor means."
How could Feng Jing like such a relative? No matter what the other party said, he refused to agree. Later, Feng Jing became Fu Bi's son-in-law.
Feng Jing also left behind the story of "two marriages to the prime minister's daughter, three leaders to the world's Yuan".
As for Fu Bi's other two daughters, they are married to two brothers, Fan Dachong and Fan Dajui. Although these Fan brothers are named Fan, they have nothing to do with Fan Zhongyan, Fan Yong, Fan Zhen, etc. Their grandfathers and fathers are both Fan Yuan and Fan Jun.
He did not hold an official position, but he was married to his ancestors from a wealthy family for generations. After Fu Bi became prime minister, he did not dislike poverty and love wealth, and allowed his two daughters to continue to marry into the Fan family.
Now, Fu Bi's two sons-in-law have been stained by the glory of their father-in-law, the prime minister, and they have both become officials.
In addition, Fu Bi heard that he also had a grandniece, who was now waiting to be married.
Facing Fu Shaoting's question, other people would have already thought about it, but Zhang Yue said without thinking: "Zhang already has someone he likes. If he becomes a high school Jinshi in the future, he will go to her home to propose marriage."
Fu Shaoting was a little surprised when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "Very good, very good. I really don't know which girl is so lucky."
Zhang Yue said nothing when he heard this.
At this time, the servant on the side said: "Langjun respects you."
This was already the intention of seeing off the guests. After hearing this, everyone stood up and left quickly.
After sending Zhang Yue out of the hospital, Fu Shaoting returned to the backyard.
But I saw Fu Bi already sitting in the hall, talking to his mother and his wife Yan.
Yan is the daughter of Yan Shu. In fact, although Fu Bi cursed his father-in-law in front of the emperor, it was because he had always been on good terms with his father-in-law.
Yan Shu has a good temper, and Fu Bi has the same temper. I guess Fu Bi will be fine after kneeling on the washboard for two days after returning home.
This Yan family is no ordinary woman.
After Fu Bi paid homage to the prime minister, Yan helped her mother-in-law enter the palace and enter the court. Women of other high-ranking officials also wore beads and jade.
But Yan didn’t wear it. Someone asked: “You are the prime minister’s daughter and the prime minister’s wife. Why are you so frugal on weekdays?”
Yanshi said: "My husband was born as a poor scholar. Although he became the prime minister, his salary is not enough. Now it is good to have hairpins and elephant clothes. You should not take the lead in promoting the trend of luxury."
In other words, this Yan family is also what many women in the Song Dynasty have to live like throughout their lives.
Yan also had a good relationship with Empress Cao. During the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor gave a banquet to hundreds of officials at Xuande Tower. Yan helped her mother-in-law up the tower. Empress Cao looked at her left and right and praised: "Some are aunts, so some are wives."
"
"Is this Zhang Sanlang from those sapphire cases?" Yan said, "Everyone looked for him a thousand times, but when he suddenly looked back, he was there in the dim light."
Fu Bi’s mother nodded slightly: “What are people like?”
Fu Bi said: "He is a handsome and upright man."
“Are you married?”
Fu Bi smiled and said, "Mother, you are worried about Su'e again."
Yan Shi already smiled and said: "It's not easy for girls from the Prime Minister's family to marry, and the same goes for nieces and nephews. Su'e has lost control since she was a child, so her mother must help her look after her."
Fu Shaoting on the side said: "Reporting to my grandfather, I just asked, and this time Mr. Sanlang said that he has already found the person he likes."
“That’s it.”
Fu Bi said: "This man is the nephew of Uncle Ouyang Yong, and he is also a student of Shan Gu. However, he came to the door without holding the two people's famous thorns, and he did not want to take advantage of them. Such a young man is a good person no matter what.
You need to take a high look."
Ouyang Xiu was a student of Yan Shu and had a good relationship with Fu Bi. In the rebellion case of Shi Jie and Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu represented Fu Bi in front of the emperor.
When Chen Xiang was the magistrate of Heyang County, his superior was Fu Bi. Later, it was Fu Bi who recommended Chen Xiang to be the school manager of the secret pavilion and judge of the temple department.
In other words, due to his friendship with Ouyang Xiu and Chen Xiang, Zhang Yue can be regarded as someone on Fu Bi's line, but Zhang Yue did not mention it once from beginning to end.
Fu Bi's mother said: "This is your men's business, I don't care about it. But why are all the good men in this world...ah?"
After saying that, Fu Bi’s mother left with a cane, and Fu Bi personally supported his mother to leave.
Yan and Fu Shaoting both stood up to see each other off.
Yan looked at Fu Shaoting and said: "It is the rule of our house that if you come to visit us for the first time, no matter how famous you are, if no one recommends you, it will not be taken lightly. This Zhang Sanlang does not hold the famous invitations of Uncle Ouyang Yong and Shu Gu, so you
How did you meet him?"
Fu Shaoting hesitated for a moment and then said: "Mother, this is what Su'e means."
Hearing this, Mrs. Yan said: "The family is unfortunate. Your father took pity on her loneliness and brought her from the countryside. He did not restrain her on weekdays and allowed her to show her face outside. Now she is so bold and reckless."
Fu Shaoting said: "It's rare for Su'e to find someone he likes. If I can help her, she will definitely abide by the ways of women in the future."
Yanshi was speechless when he heard this.
When Zhang Yue walked out of Fu Mansion, the sweltering heat had dissipated, the weather had turned cloudy, and he saw that there was going to be a heavy rain in the afternoon.
But whether it is in the morning or at this time.
There will not be many fewer people in front of the Prime Minister's Office. Even if the weather is about to change, these officials and scholars will not leave.
Every bustle in the world is for the benefit of the future, and the bustle of the world is for the benefit of the future. This is the principle that remains unchanged from ancient times to the present.
Zhang Yue glanced at the crowd and realized that he was one of them just now.
Zhang Yue thought that scholars were either poor and courageous like Brother Ru Guo, or vulgar and valuable like He Qi. But most scholars looked down on these two classes of people and thought about how to stand up and make money all day long.
Finally fell into the world.
The more Zhang thought about this, he couldn't help but look into the distance.
“He Qi hasn’t left yet?”
Huang Haoyi pointed to the front. Sure enough, Wang Kui and He Qi were standing at the entrance of the alley, looking at this place from a distance.
Zhang Yue took one look and smiled and said: "Ignore them, let's find a tea shop to drink tea first to avoid the rain."
As soon as everyone arrived at the teahouse, heavy rain came.
Everyone sat and drank tea and lamented the heavy rain.
When Zhang Yue was in the Fu Mansion just now, he responded while clearly observing everyone's reaction. He looked at Sun Guo, who had been silent and said nothing, and asked: "Did you mention Mr. Shao, your master, in the article you just wrote?"
Sun Guo's face flushed slightly. He had actually included in the scroll that he was a disciple of Shao Yong, but for some reason the other party did not reveal it.
Dan Sun Guo said on his face: "I'm too ashamed to mention it."
Zhang Yue patted him on the shoulder and said, "You might as well mention that, as the saying goes, the smell of wine is also afraid of the depth of the alley."
Sun Guo nodded, then looked at Zhang Yue and asked: "Zhaizhang, you said that I work hard, can't I just rely on my talent to learn and stand out without trying to please?"
At this point, Sun Guo immediately regretted and said, "Zhai Chief, I'm talking nonsense. I received a letter from home. My father said that my second brother is getting married when he's old enough. Please ask me first. I'm the elder brother and I can't delay my second brother. If this happens,
If you fail the exam, you will have to return to Luoyang to get married."
Zhang Yue said: "That is a good thing. When you get married, you must first settle down and then study and make progress. It is not necessary to start a career first and then start a family. You can also start a family first and then start a career."
Sun Guo was silent for a while.
Zhang Yue asked: "What?"
Sun Guo said: "Zhaizhang, you also know that my family is poor..."
"how?"
“We need to get married, otherwise our family will have no money to support my two younger brothers and me in our studies.” Sun Guo said in a low voice.
Zhang Yue was shocked. The imperial student married into his wife, and the news spread, asking Sun Guo how to hold his head high in front of his classmates in the future.
Zhang Yue is almost blurted out, let me help you.
Dan Zhang Yue was about to speak, but then he thought, can he help?
If he could help, it would be easy for him to help Sun Guo with his current wealth, but he could help for a while, but not for a while.
If you fail to pass the next subject, do you want to provide financial support yourself?
People's hearts are unpredictable, and sometimes good intentions can turn into bad intentions. Giving kindness at will is like giving out hatred.
But this is not like a novel, where the protagonist gets married first, is looked down upon for a while, and then eventually gets out of the way.
Zhang Yue sighed, poured tea for Sun Guo and said, "Drink tea."
The rain was pouring down.
Huang Haoyi suddenly said: "Yes, Sanlang, have you heard? Senior Brother Cai is an official in Pizhou and was reported for accepting bribes..."
Something happened to Cai.
Zhang Yue said: “How did you know about this?”
Huang Haoyi immediately explained the reason to Zhang Yue.
Cai Que joined the army as a manager in Pizhou and was in charge of the prosecution and prosecution of the state. Some people wanted to get away with the crime and bribed Cai Que with money.
After Cai Que accepted the money, he was reported to the Supervisory Department.
Cai Que immediately wrote to his neighbor and classmate Huang Haoqian, hoping to use his connections to get away with the crime.
Zhang Yue also understood after hearing this. Although the official administration in the Song Dynasty was corrupt and official corruption was a common phenomenon, it was as bad as any. But Cai really shouldn't have been so careless.
Huang Haoyi said: "Listen to what my brother said, Senior Brother Cai is an official for the first time, but he has no connections at the top or the market. He rashly solicits money. It will be difficult not to be accused."
"Senior Brother Cai should at least wait until he gets familiar with it and understands what money should be taken and what money should not be taken before making a decision. Senior Brother Cai must have offended no one in the officialdom when he first arrived, so if he is accused this time, he will accept it.
Money that shouldn’t be taken.”
Zhang Yue said: "But Senior Brother Cai is not such a money-grubbing and short-sighted person. Before he left, I told him to be careful at the beginning and respect the end. When you first take up an official position, you do not seek merit but seek no fault."
Huang Haoyi said: "Yes, I also heard what my brother said. Senior Brother Cai will suffer a lot if he doesn't talk about this. Even if he passes the test, he will have many difficulties in his official career in the future. But Senior Brother Cai is also excusable. I heard
He said that when he went to Pizhou to take up his post, he owed a lot of money."
The more Zhang Yue heard this, the more he understood.
At the beginning of the scholar, some people went to the local official to use the background of the relationship to achieve some political achievements. Afterwards, they were promoted to a higher position to develop or be revealed.
Some people are...
Chai is indeed not such a short-sighted person, and the reasons behind it can only make people sigh.
Huang Lu said at this time: "Don't talk about it. Brother Cai has finally won the Jinshi. It's not like we have to suffer in the examination room."
Sun Guo sighed: "I don't know when it will end."
Huang Haoyi glanced at Zhang Yue and said with a smile: "It will be over soon."
During the dinner, everyone was in no mood to talk about the upcoming test.
Huang Haoyi was chatting eloquently. At this time, several singers came uninvited and came to sit beside them and have a drink.
When Huang Haoyi saw this scene, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately shut up and stopped talking like he was just joking.
Zhang Yue couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and took out the money to send these singing girls away.
The thunder continued, and without Huang Haoyi speaking, everyone lost interest in talking for a while.
It is raining heavily outside the tea house.
Most of the plate of pork head on the tea table was eaten, and there were a few pieces of sesame cake left.
The spout on the teapot on the red clay stove that Dr. Tea is holding is emitting white steam.
Zhang Yue looked at the continuous rain outside and suddenly remembered the scene when he first met Shichi Niang at Manyoji Waterfall.
When the boat passed both sides of the Huaihe River when I first entered Beijing, I saw the continuous reed bushes on both sides and the market located on the waterside.
At the Lantern Festival, when he and Qi Niang hurriedly looked at each other, there was a flash of emotion in the other's eyes.
Before this big exam, these unfounded emotions stirred up his emotions like a dull summer rain.
The scholars in front of the prime minister's house were fighting for a chance for their future, as well as their longing for the future, their anxiety about the future, and all kinds of worries, which were like boiling water in a tea stove, making Zhang Yue's mood tense to the extreme.
On the contrary, other emotions came to my mind at this time, the love of classmates and the yearning of lovers, which I cherished even more at this moment.
After the trial, everything will change again.
At this time, the water in the furnace is boiling.
