Chapter 425: Go, Go
The name of a man, the shadow of a tree. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The name Jia Huan is a bit nonsense to say that it is a household name in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but in the Shilin of the Zhou Dynasty, it must be called famous.
Jia Huan has been in Jiangnan for more than a year, and a total of three world-famous poems have been circulated: when is the bright moon, the red lotus fragrance is still in autumn, and life is only as first seen.
The world-famous article has such communication and advertising efforts.
The two scholars who were "fighting" glanced at each other, sorted out their clothes, walked to the four scholars standing on the side of the blue brick road, saluted the youngest young man, and reported their names: "Tongsheng Shangyu in Xialuyi." ”
"Zhu Hongfei in Xialuyi."
Looking at a tall, thin, and sturdy scholar in front of him, Jia Huan, Gongsun Liang, Luo Xiangyang, and Pang Ze were speechless for a while.
Pang Ze asked: "Since you two are fellow villagers, why are you fighting in a foreign land?" Do you know that it is a joy in life to meet in a foreign country? ”
Zhu Hongfei was a sturdy scholar, with a medium stature and shabby clothes, glaring angrily at the tall and thin fellow countryman beside him, and said hatefully: "You ask him." ”
Shang Yu was thin and tall, with a blue nose and swollen face, a blue and black cheek, and a little dull, and said, "I came from my hometown to apply for Wendao Academy." In Dongzhuang Town, I heard that people could enter the academy by paying 10 taels of silver. I happened to be short of some silver, and when I met Brother Zhu in the town, I asked him to borrow silver. After giving the money to the man yesterday, he was never found again. ”
Zhu Hongfei snorted coldly, "Shang Yu, every penny of silver on my body was dug out of the ground by my wife." It's not as easy as your family to do business. If you want to be greedy for my money, don't use such clumsy excuses. ”
Shang Yu defended himself with a lack of energy: "I didn't..."
Jia Huan knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. Nine out of ten of this business classmate has encountered a black intermediary. waved his hand to stop the quarrel between the two, and said quickly: "How much silver did Shang Xiaoyou borrow from Friend Zhu?" ”
Shang Yu said: "2 taels and 5 coins of silver." ”
Jia Huan didn't have a small amount of silver on his body, so he took the broken silver from Pang Ze and gave it to Zhu Hongfei, and said: "The silver he was deceived has his own Dongzhuang Town Guards to recover it, but I'm afraid it will take some time." I will repay Friend Zhu's silver first for Shang Xiaoyou. He met every day, and then had a drink with Zhu's friends. ”
Jia Huan's inclination towards this dispute is obvious, but his words are very mellow.
Zhu Hongfei didn't feel much uncomfortable in his heart, after all, he got the silver back for him, and arched his hand: "I have heard the name of Jia's friend for a long time, the time is not right today, and I will drink it another day." Ladies and gentlemen, farewell. "He just had a dispute with his fellow countrymen, and he was not in the mood to have a drink with Jia Huan and others.
When the matter was resolved, the onlookers gradually dispersed. The slender and tall Tong Sheng Shang Yu hurriedly thanked Jia Huan and the others.
Shi Kuang, the captain of the Dongzhuang Town Guard, hurried over with five team members. Ichisui's black uniform, with sleeve frames and a wooden stick, is very recognizable. Seeing that Jia Huan, Gongsun Liang, and Luo Xiangyang were all there, they hurriedly came over to salute. These three are the real big names in town. The treasurers and directors of Xianheng Commercial Bank listened to them.
Jia Huan handed Shang Yu to Shi Kuang, explained the situation, and instructed: "Be sure to recover the money." ”
Shi Kuang assured: "Deputy Envoy Jia, rest assured, I will definitely track down the person and get the money back." ”
Jia Huan smiled, "My position as deputy envoy has long been returned to the imperial court." With a wave of his hand, he walked with his classmates to the south gate of the college.
A small episode, but it took more than ten minutes to deal with. The sunset of spring burns in the sky. It is a metaphor for good weather tomorrow.
Luo Xiangyang's face was a little unsightly. He was in charge of the enrollment work of Wendao Academy before. Wendao College does have an exam-free admissions pathway. But that's not something that can be done with just ten taels of silver.
For the children of wealthy families, the fee standard of Wendao Academy is 200 taels of silver for admission without examination.
This is, of course, Jia Huan's idea. and Ivy League and other private universities in the United States: the children of the rich, as long as their parents donate money to the school, their grades are floating clouds, and they will be admitted directly. This is available every year.
Pang Ze said: "Changwen doesn't have to be like this. This is true of the world and practice. Otherwise, where would the academy have the money to supply the children of the poor family? Dongzhuang Town is also difficult to develop here. Just clean up those deceptions...", he said and looked at Jia Huan.
Jia Huan added, "intermediary".
"Well, just clean up those scam intermediaries." Pang Ze patted Luo Xiangyang on the shoulder, he was very insightful in practice.
Luo Xiangyang was relieved in his heart, and nodded with a wry smile, "Leave it to them." We're leaving for Beijing tomorrow. ”
Will try soon.
…
…
The world-famous Jiaofang Division is located in the east of the inner city of the capital, and several alleys gradually become lively after dark.
Jia Lian has a lot of money left over because he is operating honeycomb coal and rouge in the capital, and tonight he feasts on acquaintances to drink flower wine at the Ningyun girl in Goolan Hutong.
On the second floor of the exquisite pavilion, Jia Lian, Feng Ziying, Qiu Liang, Shi Sheng, Shi Youren, the son of Boshi Guangzhu, the son of Ma Shang, Ma Bozong, and Hou Chong, the son of Hou Xiaokang, sat around the table of eight immortals, chatting, laughing, and eating wine. There is a beautiful beauty by his side.
The top girl, Miss Ning Yun, sat beside Jia Lian and flattered the second master. Jia Lian is destined to attack the lord in the future, and the people who come and go are the heirs of the noble mansion.
Now, Concubine Jia is being favored in the harem, and the pattern of noble power has changed. The four kings and eight dukes headed by the Jia family and the king of Beijing, as well as some noble families that intersected with them, the power of this system has greatly increased.
Like the Marquis of Ruyang and the Marquis of Xiangyang, the second batch of noble forces that were divided during the Taizong period have stopped a lot and are no longer jumping.
As for the major events of the dynasty, what is related to the nobles is that the Son of Heaven is tracking down the arrears of the past years, and many nobles have made jokes.
Of course, the second master of Jia Fulian has a treat today, and he is not talking about these gossips. I don't talk about who fights cocks and lackeys, and the interesting stories of sleeping flowers and willows. Instead, I will talk about the upcoming Ministry of Rites examination. This is a triennial grand meeting and big exam for readers.
Because, Jia Guifei personally praised the concubine of the Jia family, and now Jia Huan, who is famous all over the world, "My brother has the talent of a minister". What does this mean, can you not understand?
Feng Ziying, dressed in a jade-colored robe, looked handsome, hugged the beauty beside her, and said with a smile: "Brother Jia is the most ruthless, I made an appointment with him to have wine in the first month, but he went straight to the academy." ”
Shi Guangzhu also said: "Why am I not? ”
Miss Ning Yun is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman, with a melon seed face, beautiful and beautiful, and she smiled: "Mr. Jia has a lot of hope, of course, he has to study. ”
Several noble children all laughed very face-savingly. is not to give face to the famous prostitute Ning Yun, but to Jia Huan to save face.
Jia Lian is handsome, dressed in brocade and jade belts, in the outfit of the prince and grandson, holding a folding fan and pointing at everyone, talking and laughing, "Don't talk about your family, the water prince personally sent the big housekeeper to make the post, and the Huan brothers ignored it." ”
Everyone who said this smiled with relief and toasted with Jia Lian.
Jia Lian drank it in one gulp, and the cold wine entered his throat, which was very refreshing. Brother Huan is a sober and understanding person, who knows what is important and what is not.
Today is the evening of the 16th, and the 18th is the exam. I don't know if the ring brothers have returned to the capital?
Even if you don't come back, it should be soon.
…
…
Dongzhuang Town gradually returned to calm in the night. Even the pearl in the western suburbs of the capital is a large amount of silver and goods every day, but there is a very lack of entertainment activities at night.
This is related to the control of the Xianheng Commercial Bank. Qinglou, private squatters, and casinos are prohibited from entering Dongzhuang Town. These industries are very prosperous in the nearby town of Longquan, which is ten miles away.
After dinner, Jia Huan quietly read a book in the bedroom. The atmosphere of the big exam is getting stronger and stronger. As a former top student, how to adjust my mood during the exam is a very proficient thing.
At this time, don't think about what kind of scenery I will be after I finish high school. Don't think about how desolate and sad you will be when you end the exam. Don't think about anything. Just go through the knowledge points quietly in your mind over and over again.
In the thirteenth year of Yongzhi, the first session of the Ministry of Rites was held on February 18, the second session on the 21st, and the third session on the 24th. The content of each exam is the same as that of the township test. Heavy on the first scene, heavy on the four books and five scriptures.
Jia Huan, Gongsun Liang, and Luo Xiangyang's itinerary is to stay at a hostel near Qingyun Street in Gongyuan in Beijing tomorrow on the morning of February 17. Admission in the early morning of February 18. The accommodation problem has been arranged by Xianheng Commercial Bank a long time ago.
The delicate little girl Ruyi carefully helped Jia Huan prepare the exam basket in the house. Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, food, quilt. It's the middle of spring in February, but it's still cold at night and early in the morning. Turning his head to see Jia Huan put down the book, he said embarrassedly: "Third master, did I make a noise to you?" ”
Jia Huan smiled and waved his hand, "It has nothing to do with you." He got up and went to the table, brought himself a cup of tea, and took a sip of it.
He came to Dongzhuang Town to study for only one month. Qingwen didn't follow. Only Ruyi followed him. Caixia, he didn't bring it.
At this time, a servant woman at the door came in and replied: "Third master, Miss Ruyi, the shopkeeper of Lin in the town sent Miss Yu'er to deliver something." ”
The shopkeeper of Lin in the town is Lin Zhiyun.
Jia Huan nodded slightly, "Let her in." ”
As he spoke, he saw a petite and pretty maid come in with a food box, come in with a smile, wear a lotus-colored skirt, put the food box on the table with ease, and said: "Jia Gongzi, at this time, my girl made matcha mung bean cake with her own hands, it tastes very good, you can bring it into the examination room to eat." ”
Yu'er looks petite and delicate, only about 1.5 meters old, but she is actually sixteen years old this year. The skin is fair, the eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and the delicate facial features are very three-dimensional. Very beautiful girl.
It is said that when Lin Zhiyun bought her from the human tooth self, she was already a little beauty embryo.
Jia Huan looked at Yu'er, who could give at least eighty-five points, and said funny: "Your girl didn't tell her that, right?" He had correspondence with Lin Zhiyun in Jinling. came to Dongzhuang Town, and also went to her house to have a meal with her.
The idea in her heart is to regain the ancestral property of the Lin family, which is indispensable to conflict with the Jin Shang faction. On the same day, Lu Chengji, who bought the Lin family's business shop and assets at a low price, was a Jin merchant. Jia Huan supports her in this regard. In Yangzhou, Jia Huan raided the Zheng family and offended the Jin merchant group a long time ago. According to his understanding, when the Jia family competed for the position of concubine, Jin Shang and Ruyang Hou were somewhat involved.
Lin Zhiyun's temperament, he still understands: she is the temperament of the royal sister. Even if it's a friend, a very good friend, she won't say to bring her dim sum to the exam room to eat. Who is responsible for eating a bad stomach?
Yu'er stuck out her tongue delicately and said, "Master Xiao Jia's eyes are really like torches. ”
Jia Huan shook his head with a smile, accepted the snacks, sent Yu'er away, and continued to read the book.
…
…
On the morning of the 17th, the morning glow was full of sunrise, and the town of Dongzhuang was clothed with red makeup. At the intersection of the central road in Dongzhuang Town, several horse-drawn carriages waited for a long time.
At the north gate of Wendao Academy, Ye Hongyun, He Jingye, the lecturer of the academy, and classmates sent Jia Huan, Gongsun Liang, and Luo Xiangyang. This time, there were only three people in the academy who took the exam, and there was no big scene when they went to the township for the exam.
Gongsun Liang was full of energy, his demeanor was relaxed, he looked at his teacher and classmates, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Jia, this is more than when I saw off Luo Junzi and I in eleven years." "He's very relaxed.
Jia Huan smiled, "Whether we are famous in Huangjia or not, don't look at the number of people who see us off." Everyone laughed at this.
Ye Hongyun was nearly forty years old, dressed in a gray robe, described Qingxiao, smiled gently, and said: "Ziyu, Wenyue, and Changwen are all the heroes of my academy, and they are the choice of the moment. Today, I went to Beijing to compete with the world's scholars, hoping for a smooth journey, and looking forward to the name of the Wild Goose Pagoda. I'm waiting for good news. ”
Jia Huan, Gongsun Liang, and Luo Xiangyang bowed and saluted, "Mr. Xie's auspicious words." He once again bowed his hand to the people who came to send, "Thank you for sending off the teachers and classmates" and then boarded the bus and set off for the capital.
Danxia is like a brocade, and the continuous green mountains are dyed. The thirteenth year of Yongzhi's rite examination is about to begin.
…
…
At the intersection of Dongzhuang Town, on the second floor of the scholar's restaurant, two figures stood together, watching three carriages disappear at the end of the official road and disappear into the brilliant clouds.
Yu'er sighed and said, "Girl, why don't you go down to send Jia Gongzi?" ”
A tall and graceful girl, the golden red morning light reflects her face, which is as beautiful as promised. She shook her head slightly, wishing the junior high school in her heart.
