"Student Liu Ertiao, meet the teacher! Meet Shangshu-sama! ”

"Student Zhang Chuwen, I have seen Master Shangshu and Wang Changshi!"

That night, Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen came to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites together, and in the hall of the palace, the two of them bowed down to Wang and Wang Zhihong to salute.

"Hehe, the old man expected that you two slippery boys will definitely come to the old man tonight," Wang He smiled and waved his hand to signal the two of them to sit down, and whispered to Liu Ertiao and them: "How is it?" Were you frightened by those messy invitations? ”

Wang is also an old man who has passed the imperial examination, although he was in the former Sui at that time, but the situation of all generations is very similar.

After the imperial examination, you Liu Ertiao and their civilian students who have no family background and dependency objects, even if they do not enter the imperial list, once they get into the Jinshi, as soon as they step into the official career, they will almost become the most powerful factions in all aspects.

At this time, some of the choices made by these students are directly related to their future career prospects. There are many choices, but whether they can choose the right one depends on the individual's vision and whether they can withstand the temptation of those conditions given by all parties.

Wang looked Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen up and down, and now it seems that these two little guys have not made a choice yet, or they already have a plan in their hearts, but they are not in a hurry to show it.

It's good, at least, it's much more stable and calm than he looked back then. The performance of the two of them, the old man Wang, was very satisfied.

"Master Shangshu is serious, the kid and Brother Chu Wen came today, mainly to thank the teacher for his cultivation, if there is no guidance and teaching from the teacher, where will the students achieve such achievements today?" Liu Erjo bowed his hand, sloppy, and wanted to miss this topic, even in front of his mentor and monk. Yanagi Nijo didn't want to reveal his hole cards and thoughts too early.

"Huh. You stinky boy, you dare to play such a careful mind in front of the teacher," Wang Zhihong glanced at Liu Ertiao. chuckled and reprimanded: "According to the teacher, if you come here tonight, I am afraid that the mind of the teacher is only three points, and the intention to avoid those troublesome places is to occupy seven out of the people, right?" ”

"Third uncle! How can you say that?! Brother Nijo, he really came to see you and grandpa, Cai'er can testify! Seeing Wang Zhihong talking vigorously about her second brother, Wang Caiyi was the first reluctant to get up. A little disgusted stood up and whispered a word in disobedience.

"Oh? Hahaha" Wang Zhihong glanced at his precious niece and nephew with some astonishment, and then looked at his father, and laughed with the old man.

"This is really a woman's inauguration, hehe, our little Cai'er has also grown up. This hasn't even been done yet, and it's starting to be extroverted! The king stroked his beard, looked at his good granddaughter, smiled heartily, and pouted the beard on his chin.

"Grandpa" Wang Caiyi and Liu Ertiao. His face was red at the same time, but unlike Wang Caiyi's shyness and disgust, Liu Ertiao, this kid, was just cheeky, smiled, and accepted the words. There was also a slight smug look on his face.

"Alright, alright. The hour is almost up, Wang Tai. Go to the stove and start serving the food, there are no outsiders at home today, so let's eat in this inner house. Well, put on the two pots and three bowls that Liu Boy and they brought, and drink them tonight! Seeing that the night outside was already foggy, Wang opened his mouth and gave an order to Wang Tai, the housekeeper on the side, and then his subordinates began to arrange the tables and chairs, greeted by Wang Zhihong and Wang Caiyi, and let Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen sit down.

"Today is Erjo, and there is a happy day for Chu Wenxian's nephew Dengkezhongju, you two can drink more in a while," looking at the two pots of steaming wine served by Yahuan, Wang Zhihong chuckled and said: "On this wine table today, feel free first, don't be restrained." {First Reading}"

"Thank you, Nijo knows." Liu Ertiao respectfully saluted Wang Zhihong and replied lightly. However, he and Zhang Chuwen did not take Wang Zhihong's polite words to heart, and they did not pay attention to etiquette in the mansion of the Ministry of Rites, and the two of them were not the kind of people who lacked hearts and lungs. In this Chang'an City, who doesn't know that the most important thing in the life of the old man Wang is the way of etiquette.

"Okay, the dishes are all ready, let's all take a seat," waving his hand to signal his subordinates to pour the wine, Wang gently picked up the wine glass, glanced at the wine table, and said softly: "Let's raise a glass first, for the achievements of Liu Boy and Chu Wen Boy today!" ”

"Thank you, Lao Shangshu!" The old man with the highest rank raised his wine glass, except for Wang Caiyi, a girl on the table who is not suitable for drinking spirits, Wang Zhihong and Liu Ertiao did not dare to slack off, they all raised their glasses, touched the old man lightly, and then raised their heads and drank the wine in the cup.

"Well, let's all sit down," Wang waved his hand at everyone and chuckled, "The picture on the wine table is just festive and cheerful, so you don't need to be too formal." ”

Seeing that several people sat down lightly, Wang lifted the chopsticks, symbolically took the lead in holding a piece of soft red carp, and put it in his mouth, and Wang Zhihong and the others then began to move the chopsticks.

"Speaking of which," Wang put down the chopsticks and said softly: "In today's imperial examination, Ertiao and Chu Wen can get the middle jinshi, and they are all based on practical learning, thinking that the old man Wei, although he has a little temper and a little unforgiving mouth, but his personality is still very admired by the old man, and the two of you can stand out among the five hundred people, and it is not unrelated to him to serve as the main exam." ”

Although Wang often lives in the Ministry of Rites and rarely asks about foreign affairs, he is like a mirror in his heart in some officialdom. If it weren't for Wei Zheng's old man, it would be difficult for Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen to stand out among the five hundred. It's harder to be in the top 10 of the list. "Lao Shangshu said that it is our luck to be able to participate in the re-examination under the supervision of Lord Wei." Zhang Chuwen arched his hand lightly, he had participated in the imperial examination once, and Zhang Chuwen had a deeper understanding of this matter.

"Well," Wang Wei nodded, drank a glass of wine, and said: "But speaking of this poor student, the old man is in the Ministry of Rites today, but it is a pity that this person did not participate in the scientific examination this year, otherwise there will be one more poor student on this list." ”

"Oh? Which one is Daddy talking about? Wang Zhihong was the first to ask, and there are not many people who can be praised like their old man in Wang Zhiman's impression. Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen were also attracted by Wang's words, and both eyes looked at Wang Di's old face.

"Fengjie Liu Yifan!" The king put down his glass and said softly, "It is a teacher in the house of Governor Stitchon, and you must have heard of it. ”

"Write down the Mr. Yifan who is difficult to walk?"

"Mr. Diliu, who made those tunes of nightshade?"

"Has he come to Chang'an?! When did it come?! ”

With Wang's gossip, a lot of questions were raised on the table, that is, even Wang Caiyi, who had only been concerned about her two brothers, couldn't help but get excited, and pestered Wang to ask.

"Well, that's what you said and thought of Liu Yifan," I didn't expect Wang Zhihong and them to have such a big reaction, Wang Wen nodded with a smile, and said, "This afternoon, he has been ordered by the Ministry of Rites to come to Chang'an to learn the enlightenment of Hanyu Pinyin." ”

"That's a good kid!" Thinking that Liu Yiyi was a little arrogant in the Ministry of Rites during the day, Wang added another sentence: "But compared to the rumors that he is very modest and virtuous, what Liu Yifan showed today is a little sharp." There is a kind of vitality that young people should have, which is very good! ”

"To be praised like this by Lord Shangshu, I think that Mr. Yifan must have a lot of good points, if you have the opportunity, you should make friends with him." Zhang Chuwen drank a glass of wine and said softly. However, listening to the tone of his words, there seems to be a sense of wanting to compete with Liu Yifan.

Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, that is, Liu Ertiao, a young man who has become very stable, also has some waves in his heart.

"Hehe, you young people, it's not a bad thing to get together and communicate with each other when you have nothing to do," Wang's two old eyes showed a hint of a smile after the conspiracy succeeded, and inadvertently, he found two friends for Liu Yifan, or the opponent of the test.

Of course, with Liu Yifan's current sharp attitude, it is bound to arouse the competitive spirit in the hearts of Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen, and it is not bad to say that he has found a good opponent for the two of them. Young people, when they have endless vigorous vitality, like Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen, the two stinky boys, have only been in half a year, they have become more and more like an old man, low, hidden, this appearance and state are not good.

"Okay, the old man is a little tired, go to the inner hall to rest first, you can take care of yourself!" Knowing that with himself by his side, these little ones would not be able to let go, and they would not be able to eat and drink to their heart's content, so after drinking two glasses of wine, the king got up and left his seat on the grounds that he was unwell.

As far as the idea goes, the ticket will be smashed as far as it goes

Lao Liu begged for a vote gloomily
