He Ben has been the Minister of Rites for more than ten years and has countless disciples, but he has rarely seen many people like Chen Wen who let go of his face and cried.
How could I have such a shameless disciple!
"Students are miserable!" Chen Wen didn't care what his mentor thought. Anyway, if he had to speak out about his embarrassment, he would have thought that his official position would be so easy!
"The admission of a female case manager is helpless. The Sheng family girl's answer sheet is placed there. It is said that academics and politics are upright and do not tolerate criticism. How can a student abandon a Sheng family girl and choose someone else in full view of the public?" Chen Wen said with a grimace. of complaints.
"Why have I ever been upset because you ordered the head of a female criminal?" He Benchu was stunned for a moment.
No matter how stupid he is, he can't let his beloved disciple do what he wants?
Just because the Sheng family girl's test papers attract the attention of the leader and the emperor, she cannot be the leader!
"Huh?!" Chen Wen was ready to continue his misfortune according to the draft he had written before, but when he heard his mentor's words, he was also a little confused.
No, it's not what he thought it was? !
It has nothing to do with Sheng Yuan being named the head of the case twice? !
Realizing this, Chen Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
Tell me earlier! If he had known this, he wouldn't have cried!
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Chen Wen noticed his mentor's "hating iron but not steel" look, and suddenly a look of confusion appeared on his face.
"Teacher, what is it about the student that makes you angry?"
He Ben was really puzzled when he saw this disciple, and asked him angrily: "For reference, you should know about the three daughters of Mr. Ge Laocen."
When Chen Wen heard this, he couldn't help but feel bitter in his lips and teeth: "Teacher, Cen Youniang is very good at studying literature. Everyone in the capital knows that Cen Ge Lao's daughter is a reference, but how many people pay attention to it? How can students help Cen Ge Lao practice favoritism? Woolen cloth!
Now His Majesty attaches great importance to scientific examinations and has ordered that candidates' test papers be released in installments for each exam. Cen Youniang's test papers are there. If students don't take them without any reason, I'm afraid their reputation in Shilin will be bad!
You can't say that you want people to laugh at you in the name of shaving your beard! You have always taught students not to cling to the cabinet easily, and Mr. Cen Ge has never given me any advice. How can students try to figure out the superior's intentions without authorization? "
Speaking of this, Chen Wen couldn't wait to burst into tears. It's really not easy for him to hold such an official position!
The emperor opened the imperial examination for women, leaving a road to the sky for all the girls in the world, but he put him, a loyal minister, on a rope suspended between cliffs.
When He Ben saw that this disciple had a tough head, he waved his hands angrily and helplessly: "This Shuntian Mansion actually tortures people like this? He was obviously smart in the past!... I didn't ask you to reject Miss Cen's admission, but you didn't She should be ranked higher than before the exam! Randomly select some small deficiencies so that her position is not advanced or backward, as long as she does not slip out!"
At this point, he was afraid that the student wouldn't understand, so he compromised a step further: "Even if you let her be in the top ten, that's fine! Bojia, you can't let her be in the top six! It's too conspicuous!
Although Mr. Cen Ge didn't pass the message, as a subordinate, you still have to get out of the way. You can't let him feel that you are slapping him in the face, or that you are ignoring him!
You are not a newbie. You should be clear that in the officialdom, if you don't cling to superior officials or participate in party struggles, it doesn't mean you can offend the other party.
Sometimes we take the initiative to give each other a little face and step down, which is good for both of us! Isn’t it great that many actions are left unsaid?
Bojia, my teacher knows that you are a person who always cherishes talents and pities others, but you should know that it is also good for Miss Cen to slightly move her ranking. "
Chen Wen listened to his mentor's teachings and nodded in response humbly and calmly.
Seeing that his attitude was sincere and sincere, He Ben thought that he had listened, so he nodded with satisfaction, stroking his beard and teaching: "Of course, the child test is still going on. The first two games are not a foregone conclusion. You still have a chance to make up for it... No matter Whether it’s the two college exams or the final overall ranking, the third girl Cen cannot be ranked high.”
"Teacher, what if you want to criticize her for academic reasons?" Chen Wen felt a little unbearable and dissatisfied, so he asked pretending to be confused.
"That's naturally different!" Unexpectedly, He Ben heard this and said without hesitation, "If Miss Cen San has the potential to lead the case, let Yan Xuezheng name her! If she has the ability to take down the case, Yuan, Huiyuan, and Zhuangyuan can directly enter the eyes of the emperor, so Mr. Cen Ge really can't stop her from Qingyun!"
"..." Chen Wen understood, sighed slightly, and secretly apologized to Miss Cen.
Back at home, Chen Wen was not in a high mood and walked straight to his study.
Chen Wen's wife, Mrs. Tu, was teaching her daughter to read at that time. She heard from the maid that the master looked bad, and she felt a little worried. She made the mother-in-law and the maid take a fancy to the young lady, so she personally took a pot of sweet soup on the stove and walked over slowly.
When she came to the study room, she ordered her maid and mother-in-law to guard the door. Tu raised the curtain and stepped in. She immediately saw her husband who was showing off her hair. She couldn't help but smile and said: "I see that the master is not in a high mood today, so I sent you sweet soup to relieve your worries." .”
When Chen Wen saw Madam, the worry on his face disappeared, and he smiled and said, "Thank you Madam."
Tu Shi came forward with the sweet soup, and his eyes slowly slid over the rice paper: "I see the master's handwriting now, and between the gestures... he seems to be crying, but I don't know who is being unfair and making you feel aggrieved?"
Speaking of this, Chen Wen didn't hide anything. He told everything about today's teacher's blame.
At the end of the sentence, I couldn't help but sigh: "I remember when I was studying, I was determined to be an upright and fair official, and I also had the intention to take up my post in Dali Temple. How could I have thought that now, I would have to change my ranking for Shangguan's family's private affairs! I didn't know that at this time, Retreat, how long can I stick to the bottom line of being a husband, or I will follow in the footsteps of those mediocre, stupid and corrupt officials in the future!"
At this point, Chen Wen suddenly felt that it was boring to be an official, so he might as well hang up his seal and leave, at least it would be worthy of the sage books he read!
Tushi didn't take his emotion seriously after hearing the end.
After studying hard for more than ten years, she, who was studying with her, didn't want to look back. It's strange that he was willing to let it go!
However, the husband's worries are not unreasonable. The bottom line is to retreat step by step.
For the sake of the future of his children and the future of the entire family, it is better for the husband to have some bottom line.
Thinking like this, Mrs. Tu had an idea. She put the soup bowl in her husband's hand and persuaded her gently: "I have also heard about the girl from the Cen family... You also said before that the girl from the Cen family Without the talent of the daughter of Marquis Sheng, she would not be the head of the case; in several government examinations, her ranking often hovered between third and fifth, which shows that she is not the best student."
"When it comes to talent, she also has first-rate qualifications. However, the Cen family girl's words are a bit sharp, and her articles are beautifully eloquent, which makes people read them heartily. However, this hearty feeling is inevitably overshadowed by a guilty conscience."
Chen Wen couldn't help but shake his head and sigh as he thought about the articles about Cen Youniang's house trial.
