A box of various negotiable bills was thrown on the small table, Yang Zhuoxue raised her head, "Official, what is this?" ”

"Money."

Shen An sat down heavily, the chair creaked, and then said comfortably: "Someone else gave it, although it is used for flowers." ”

Yang Zhuoxue glanced at it, and a picture came to mind: several officials stood by the door with a smile, looking left and right sneakily, and then looked up and said, "Wait for the edict...... This is a little bit of the lower official's heart......"

Is my official corrupt?

"Official, yes...... Is it a bribe? ”

She couldn't help but blurt out, and when she saw that Shen An was stunned, she changed her words: "Official, our family is not bad for money......

Our family is not short of money, don't ask for bribes, shame.

What a place this is!

Shen An couldn't help but smile and said, "Our family has enough money, how can my husband and I take bribes?" ”

Yang Zhuoxue said suddenly: "The concubine doesn't know. ”

She said she didn't know, but the images kept coming up uncontrollably in her mind.

A man knelt in front of Shen An, holding a wooden box and crying: "Wait for the edict to spare his life, the villain is willing to take all the family property to atone for his sins......"

My husband......

Doesn't that seem to be more powerful?

According to the calculations of later generations, Yang Zhuoxue is still a girl at this moment.

Girls have some pink dreams, and Yang Zhuoxue's dreams are these.

Shen An didn't know that his wife was thinking about these strange thoughts, he closed his eyes and said lazily: "It's all given by those foreign merchants, don't do it in vain, you can enter it yourself when you go back, you can spend it as ......you want."

"So much?"

It turned out to be sent by a merchant?

Yang Zhuoxue counted it herself and said, "Official, there are thousands of them!" ”

"Officials ......"

She looked quietly, but Shen An was already asleep.

"Why don't you talk to me?"

Yang Zhuoxue pouted: "Thousands of guan were thrown to me like this, how to use it?" ”

She held her cheek with one hand, thinking about how to spend money with Guoguo, and gradually closed her eyes.

Time slipped away quietly, and after the middle of the year, Bianliang City became lively.

The provincial examination is imminent, and a lot of candidates from all over Bianliang City have come, and the shopkeeper of the inn is overjoyed, and the guys are busy and their feet do not touch the ground.

"These students dare to drink and compose poems when they are about to take the exam, and most of them are messing around."

After a guy finished delivering the food, he sat tired on the steps outside the door and complained.

"I wish my brother a high talent, when the prince was on Jiangnan East Road, he had a lot of praise for you, and today you have accumulated a lot of money, and this subject is a high school, let me wait for envy!"

"Brother, I salute you!"

"That's it, but so-and-so is not strong enough to drink."

There was a lot of commotion inside for a long time, and finally everyone came out with a young man in their arms.

The young man turned around and arched his hand: "Everyone, I will go back to review first, and say goodbye." ”

Everyone arched their hands and said, "Wait a few days, I will wait for good news." ”

The young man smiled and turned to leave.

He traveled all the way, but he went to a private house.

After knocking on the door, a man in his thirties appeared behind the door, and when he saw the young man, he was stunned, and then smiled: "It turned out to be Zhu Langjun, how did you know that the old man had come to the capital?" ”

The young man arched his hand and said, "See Mr. Cheng, before a certain person came out, my father took the word, which is called Yanzhong." ”

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "When you travel thousands of miles, you should have words to walk the world." Yanzhong is ...... this time Ah! I forgot to ask you to come in, come in. ”

The young man's name is Zhu Qing, who is from Jiangnan East Road, and is somewhat famous in the local area.

When I went inside, the room looked very clean, but it had just been sprinkled and cleaned.

"Mr. Cheng, I only learned the news of your return to Beijing yesterday......

Zhu Qing looked at Mr. Cheng with admiration in his eyes, "Later, I asked for a long time before I knew that you lived here, so I ...... for this."

He said with some disgust: "I drank with those people before. ”

Mr. Cheng said gently: "In the world, there are always some trade-offs. Since you have come to take the provincial exam, you have decided to face these ...... If you have decided to confront these things, why are you still disgusted and resentful? ”

Zhu Qing got up and arched his hand when he thought about it, "Thank you Mr. for your teaching, but I thought about it before." Since you're going to take this path, don't blame yourself for having things you don't like on this path. ”

Mr. Cheng stroked his beard and smiled: "That's exactly the reason, but since you're here...... The old man happened to order the food and drinks, so let's eat together. ”

Zhu Qing said: "Mr. is poor, but he is bothered." ”

Later, someone brought wine and food, and the two of them ate hastily.

After a meal, two cups of tea, relative meditation, this is a realm.

Zhu Qing put down the teacup, raised his head and said: "Sir, I heard that the official family is sick, but the court is still the same, I think the official family should have more checks and balances......

Mr. Cheng said calmly: "The old man returned to Beijing this time to supervise the imperial history. ”

Zhu Qingxi said: "You are just right, do the officials know your reputation?" ”

Mr. Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know." It's best to walk calmly. You're still young, and you're focused on your exams......"

Zhu Qing smiled and arched his hand: "Yes, I will be taught." There is also a saying, Mr. is a great Confucian in the world, what do you think of today's style of study? ”

Mr. Cheng said lightly: "The world is chaotic, just a good word." ”

"Sir, that's true."

Zhu Qing said: "For example, today everyone believes in that person's technique of questioning the sea, no one has studied it deeply, and all of them are people who are consumed by profit." Sir, in a few years, there will be no more pure land in this world. ”

Mr. Cheng squinted his eyes slightly and said: "Bianliang is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and there are many people with advanced knowledge, why does no one come forward?" ”

Zhu Qing smiled bitterly: "That person only learns this technique in Taixue, and he is a stealing teacher outside, so he can't be blamed." ”

Mr. Cheng nodded and said: "I know, I will take up a post in Beijing this time, and I will have many opportunities to meet him in the future, and I will admonish ......."

Zhu Qing got up to leave, and Mr. Cheng sent him outside the door, when someone on the side shouted: "But Cheng Hao?" ”

Mr. Cheng nodded, and the man said, "There is your letter, saying that it is your brother's." ”

Mr. Cheng took the letter, and then touched the money to deliver the letter to this person, and then smiled: "A certain person just came to the capital, this person must have chased all the way, it's difficult!" ”

Zhu Qing bowed and said, "So say goodbye." ”

Cheng Hao nodded and said, "Go ahead, I've read your article, it's excellent, if it's not good, it's weird." ”

Zhu Qing went to another place.

"I've seen the Maharaja."

Wang Anshi just went home from the palace, and when he saw him coming, he smiled and said, "Is it available for dinner?" ”

"A certain person is from Mr. Cheng's side."

"Cheng Hao?"

"Yes."

Wang Anshi said lightly: "That old man saw your article, and he was very smart, so he used Zhongyong's matter to warn him, can he be slack off now?" ”

Zhu Qing bowed his head and said, "Don't dare, I've been studying hard." ”

"That's very good."

Wang Anshi's skills in doing things are good, but his ability to speak is very bad, and there was a cold scene between the two of them in a few words.

"Prince, I want to ask about today's style of study."

Wang Anshi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Do you say the law of the sea?" ”

"Yes, I don't know what the prince thinks."

Wang Anshi said: "This technique has become popular in the world and cannot be controlled. ”

Nowadays, most of the scholars in the Great Song Dynasty are believers in the Dafa of the Great Song Dynasty, and if you want to forcibly ban it, it is not reliable, and people in the world can make you not human inside and out.

But people of insight are worried about this situation, such as Zhu Qing.

"I waited for ten years in the cold window, but I was defeated by the five years when they did not seek to understand, and in the long run, there will be no one to inherit the knowledge of the sages, isn't it sad?"

Zhu Qing said that he was aggrieved, but the truth was even more aggrieved.

Everyone used to read books to carefully scrutinize every sentence of the sages, and they couldn't find the avenue of heaven and earth from it.

But now?

Today's knowledge is summed up and memorized by rote.

“…… Do more questions, every day is a different topic, they say that after doing more, when they see the topic, an article comes out of their minds, and so on...... I thought it was blasphemy! ”

Zhu Qing raised his head and looked at Wang Anshi, and said sincerely: "Mr. is also a scholar, why don't you argue with that person?" ”

Wang Anshi is indeed a scholar, but his theory has not yet been formed, so he can only be regarded as a first-line person, not as good as Ouyang Xiu.

He glanced at Zhu Qing and said, "What are you fighting for?" Shouldn't you read like this? But everyone in the world reads it like this. ”

There are too many vested interests, and if you go out and block this now, you are the public enemy.

Zhu Qing lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "Is there no way?" Today, Mr. Cheng was quite angry. ”

Big guy, Cheng Hao is going to prepare to teach Shen An a lesson, what about you?

Wang Anshi said lightly: "This matter ...... You go to the exam. ”

Zhu Qingzheng was waiting with anticipation, but he was so stumped by this sentence that he wanted to vomit blood.

He didn't know that Wang Yan specialized in teaching miscellaneous studies in Taixue, so these words poked Wang Anshi's lung tube.

Lao Wang seems to be old-fashioned, but his status in the family is not high.

For example, his wife Wu, this cousin is as gentle as water, but she is quite skillful on the inside, and she is obedient to Wang Anshi.

As for his son Wang Yan, Lao Wang's relationship with him is more like a friend. Wang Yan even became his think tank in the future.

So you can mention anyone, don't mention Lao Wang's relatives, otherwise it will be a matter of minutes.

After sending Zhu Qing away, Wang Anshi was about to go to the backyard, and a servant reminded: "Lang Jun, Mrs. Xijie." ”

Wang Anshi sighed, and then went to wash his hands and clean his face.

There was no one to greet him all the way to the backyard, and Wang Anshi began to mumble in his heart.

"Is the lady sick?"

His pace quickened, and the servant said, "Lang Jun, the lady is not sick. ”

Wang Anshi's heart was relieved, and his feet were a little lighter.

Later, when I entered the house, my wife Wu was gone, but a woman got up shy and timidly to greet her.

"The slave has seen Lang Jun."

Nima!

Wang Anshi stumbled under his feet and almost hit the street on the spot.

"Who are you?"

He stood firm, and then looked to the left and right, but he did not see his wife.

The woman bowed her head, revealing a piece of her neck, "The slave was bought by the lady...... The husband of the slave was a warrior, and when he damaged the ship and the goods, and the loss of his family property was insufficient, he sold the slave ......"

This kind of thing will feel very strange in the future, but it is normal in the Great Song Dynasty.

The public property was confiscated by your baby, and you will be compensated, otherwise you will be held criminally responsible.

Wang Anshi frowned and said, "How much did the lady buy you for?" ”

The woman raised her head, her face was gorgeous, her small mouth was slightly open, and she was full of temptation: "Ninety times." ”

……

The third is sent, good night!
