Chapter 368: Philanthropist Shen An (for 'Guan Tangren')
"Don't give them too much learning?"
Wang Yan glanced at Zhao Zhongjun and said: "Most of those powerful children don't have much ability, if they are rejected by Taixue, they can only go to participate in the Kaifeng Mansion's release test, Kaifeng Mansion's release test...... That's a lot of talent! ”
Kaifeng Prefecture's liberation test has always been the top priority. Because of the large number of places, students from all over the world flock here just to be able to take the exam here.
This is probably a routine for immigrants in the college entrance examination in the future, as long as you meet the policy, you can participate in the Kaifeng Prefecture's liberation test.
A large number of places means that the conditions for admission are lowered. If you're talented, you're basically getting your hands on it. But with the gathering of candidates from other places in Bianliang, the difficulty is also rising sharply. If the children of the powerful want to get a piece of the pie, it will probably be much more difficult than attaching to the school.
Shen An saw that his sister was curious about the donation list on the table, so he took it and handed it to her, and then asked, "Guoguo is not happy......
Guoguo tilted her head, then nodded earnestly.
My sister is upset, so someone should be unlucky.
……
Zhang Banian returned to the palace all the way, followed by many people, and the momentum was not small.
There were many people standing outside the imperial city, and Zhang Bannian looked carefully and recognized that several of them were powerful people.
After the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin used gentle means to deprive many meritorious generals of their authority, and high-ranking officials Houlu let them go home to be chic.
This is the so-called release of military power with a glass of wine.
Today, the descendants of those people are gradually declining. But before it fell, they still had enough influence to do something.
For example, Empress Cao, her ancestor is the founding hero Cao Bin.
After these people saw Zhang for eight years, they all smiled, and when they saw that there was no Shen An behind, they wondered.
"Zhang Duzhi, what about Shen An?"
Zhang Ba Nian did not squint at the past.
"Didn't he run away?"
"yes, it must have run away."
"Then how much money did he have to take in bribes!"
"This is absconding in fear of sin!"
“……”
In the eyes of these magnates, Shen An was completely finished now, so they were in a relaxed mood, and one of them couldn't help but ask: "Zhang Duzhi, where is Shen An now?" Isn't Mo already out of the city? ”
"At home!"
Zhang Bannian dropped this answer and entered the imperial city.
At home?
"He said at home?"
A group of people looked at each other, and someone laughed: "Zhang Banian is joking, right?" ”
A powerful man in his fifties changed his face slightly, and said: "Zhang Eight-year usually doesn't care about people, let alone joke......
He looked at the man who had just spoken, and said, "He won't joke with us." ”
"Zhang Banian is the capital of the Imperial City Division, a member of the official family, and he is like a ghost all the year round. That face can stop a child from crying at night, such a person...... Who will he joke with? ”
We don't have the qualifications to make Zhang Banian joke.
Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere gradually became wrong.
Shen An...... What about gifts? Didn't the housekeeper at home swallow the gift privately? ”
"Yes! What about gifts? ”
"Tell someone to go back and ask."
A group of people originally wanted to see Shen An's jokes, and they also breathed a sigh of relief. But now I might be a joke.
In the palace, Zhao Zhen was discussing with Zai Fu, and seeing that Zhang had been here for eight years, but Shen An was missing behind him, and his anger was irrepressibly rising.
Zhang Banian saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Shen An is in the future, but the minister has obtained evidence." ”
The gathering of the magnates is a force, and Zhao Zhen can't ignore it, so Zhang Bannian didn't say it, just to let the officials privately consider how to deal with it.
He handed over the booklet, and Chen Zhongheng took it and sent it over.
Zhao Zhen took the booklet, suppressed his anger and said, "He feels that he has a lot of credit, can't I deal with him?" Then I'm going to ......."
What are you doing?
Zhao Zhen's words stopped, he looked at the page carefully, and then turned it down again......
The hall grew quiet, and only the sound of him turning the pages could be heard.
All he saw was a breakdown of donations.
The first donation took place in June of the third year of Jiayou, and it was two yuan.
Zhao Zhen remembered that it was not long before Shen Ancai got rid of the predicament at that time, and he got his first money by stir-frying......
But at that time, he was able to donate two pieces of money to Futian Academy.
He didn't want to look any further, but he barely flipped it.
The money and things in the back are recorded in detail, and Zhao Zhen believes that there is no mistake in these records, but he feels more and more guilty in his heart.
Later, Shen An's donations continued to increase, and after he made the fragrance, he donated thousands of dollars at a time.
This young man is so kind-hearted......
Zhao Zhen just estimated the large donation, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
There are about 30,000 of them?
30,000?
Zhao Zhen was surprised in his heart, and looked through it again from the beginning, and then roughly added it with his brain, which was still somewhat talented in mathematics.
That's right!
And he also saw that there was a batch of donated money with notes in it.
-- Gifts from the powerful, converted into two thousand three hundred and ninety-six yuan.
He slowly raised his head, and the guilt in his heart became more and more numerous.
I thought he was greedy and arrogant, and even asked Zhang Banian to go to the Shen family to get people......
He's terrified, isn't he?
Must have been frightened, and his sister.
If you have done a good deed but you have to be dealt with, how can you get rid of this grievance?
"I was wrong."
Zhao Zhen sighed: "The gifts given by those people, Shen An exchanged money, and all of them were given to Futian Courtyard......"
Fu Bi didn't expect it to be like this, and couldn't help but praise: "Ordinary people like to put it at home when they get a gift, but I didn't expect Shen An to be so indifferent to money, it's better to be a minister." ”
Zaifu who was present had a long career in the sea and was clear about giving and receiving gifts.
After receiving the gift, no matter who it is, there will be pride in the heart and feel that it is an achievement.
Then a kind of mentality of taking advantage came up.
I didn't spend a penny on these valuable things, and the refreshing feeling of taking benefits for nothing is really hard to describe......
Experiencing this refreshing feeling often, officials look at the people with more alienation and condescension.
What you dream of, brother can get without spending money, and we are not a level of creature at all, so you stay away.
Han Qi's back was straight at the moment, and he felt that his heart was big enough to fit the sea.
"Your Majesty, since this is the case, then it should be praised, and those who give gifts should be reprimanded."
Zeng Gongliang agreed: "It's time to praise and appease." ”
In their opinion, Shen An's actions are a manifestation of integrity, which is worthy of praise and encouragement.
But there is something wrong with this.
Everyone is a person in the officialdom, so it is naturally impossible to say that nothing will touch, and it is inevitable to welcome and send it to usher, let alone gifts.
In the past, everyone was used to it, and they felt that it was nothing, but Shen An operated like this......
Whoever receives the gift in the future will be dazzling!
Shen An's gift was reported, and then strictly investigated. If he hadn't donated it all, he would have been asked by the court today, probably going to be thrown into a county town to be a petty official or something, and he wanted to turn over again, five years later.
Five years seems like a long time, but in fact, it is a flick of a finger.
But the journey is long, waiting for no one!
Now that Shen An is exonerated from the crime, everyone finds that they are sitting on wax.
Will someone give a gift in the future?
Fu Bi said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, this matter is a little difficult to make a big deal about......"
Zhao Zhen just shook his head and sighed, feeling that Shen An's kindness was becoming more and more rare.
Half a year after he arrived in Bianliang, he began to donate money and materials to Futian Academy...... A total of more than 30,000 pieces. ”
"Can't ......"
Han Qi subconsciously said, "He is so kind? ”
Even Fu Bi couldn't believe it.
Zhang Bannian said: "Your Majesty, the minister has sent someone to Futian Courtyard to verify, and he will be there later." ”
"No need!"
Zhao Zhen raised his head slightly to look at the void and said: "He has money, but he doesn't enjoy it much, he has set a family affair, and he is only the daughter of Yushi, and he didn't take the opportunity to cling to the powerful, it can be seen that he has arrogance in his heart, which is rare!" ”
Hey!
Everyone didn't pay attention to Shen An's family affairs, but they more or less knew how hot this family business was.
A young man with an unlimited future, a rich family fortune, and simple family members......
Such a family affair is certainly worth fighting for.
Is it decided now?
……
In the Yushi Terrace, Yang Jinian stood outside in a daze.
Someone in the room in front of him was talking, and his voice was clear.
“…… said that he accepted bribes, and then let the children of those powerful people learn too much, and the amount is not small...... The official family was furious and asked Zhang Bannian of the Imperial City Division to personally take action to get people......"
"He's done now, and if he can't get it right, he'll have to ...... Hey! Last time, someone said that Shen An settled down, and the woman was from our Yushitai? ”
"That's right, it's just that everyone doesn't have a good impression of Shen An, so they all ignore it."
"Who?"
"Yang Jinian ......"
"He? Isn't he a noble man? How can you want to marry your daughter to that demon king......"
"Isn't it just Zhujingguan, don't say it, Yang Jinian must be uncomfortable at this moment."
"Whose business is it for him?"
The two of them felt a little bored when they said this, and walked out.
Yang Jinian was standing outside, expressionless.
"Oops! It's Yongjian! ”
The two of them felt a little embarrassed, but after all, the news had already spread.
Yang Jinian did not enter the house, he felt that entering was a sign of weakness.
A certain never shows weakness!
Those officials passed by one after another, and there were various meanings in their eyes when they looked at Yang Jinian.
"Poor ...... His daughter is afraid that it will be difficult to marry. ”
“…… It's hard to say, only then will you get married, and you can regret it. ”
"Repent of a bad reputation."
"Hey! Bitter his daughter! ”
"There is no way, many people wanted to tell Shen An about the matchmaker, but Bao Zheng found this for him...... That's fate! ”
These words kept drilling into Yang Jinian's ears, and he squinted at the sky in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, a small official hurried in.
“…… Shen An is fine......"
Yang Jinian's eyes were still looking into the distance, but his clenched fists relaxed.
He looks old-fashioned and tall, and he is not very close to his wife and children at home, but this is just a cover-up.
A father's love is always subtle, and even hidden in scolding and scolding in many cases.
His eyes twinked a few times, and he felt the air in his chest that had been stagnant with worry gradually dissipate.
He lowered his head, and the person in front of him was looking at him as he whispered.
“…… He folded all those gifts into money, and then donated them all to Fukudain......"
Yang Jinian's waist straightened in an instant, and then he went back with a cold face.
Only then did he realize that his feet were numb.
His steps were slow, but the joy in his heart gradually overflowed, and the amplitude of waving his hand unconsciously increased.
“…… Shen An has been donating to Futian Courtyard since the third year of Jiayou, and just now someone told those powerful people outside the imperial city that Shen An donated more than 30,000 yuan before and after......"
"More than 30,000? Oh my God, so much? ”
"How can he be willing to donate so much money?"
"He has a lotion business......
"Before, he was just stir-frying, didn't you listen to the donation from Jiayou's third year? At that time, he had only been in Bianliang for a long time! ”
"Is he a good man?"
"More than 30,000 yuan have been donated, how can he scarce those gifts, those people are villains in vain."
Yang Jinian's pace was abrupt and vigorous, and when he went up the steps, he jumped up.
This person is notoriously high and rigid, how could he ever have such a time to escape......
Someone also has a daughter at home, and he can't help but say with envy: "Shen An is so rich and honest, and his future is limitless!" ”
Only then did everyone think of this, and then they couldn't help but be depressed when they thought that Yang Jinian had found the wrong son-in-law.
How can this man have such a good eye?
……
The third is sent to everyone, good night.
