After Fu Bi left, everyone was shocked.
I knew Zhang Yue was great, but I didn't expect him to be so great. He could even speak freely in front of the rich man and sit down and talk.
Before finally leaving, Fu Bi's words did not hesitate to make Zhang Yue famous.
I’ll see your article on the imperial examination!
Although everyone in this meeting has become a foil.
Huang Lu didn't mind, anyway, as long as he saw the rich man and knew what it means to be a prime minister, he couldn't ask for appreciation or not. Zhang Yue was appreciated by Fu Bi because of his good fortune. Besides, none of Fu Bi's own sons passed the Jinshi examination. If he really cared about him, he would never be like this. Therefore, Mr. Fu’s words may not be so magical.
Huang Haoyi had been convinced by Zhang Yue for a long time, but now he thought that someone who was appreciated by even the wealthy husband would definitely not have to run away in the future. Nowadays, Huang Haoyi is obsessed with hugging everyone.
Huang Haoyi's brother and Zhang Dun are related by marriage, and he and he are fellow townsmen and classmates. This friendship is not ordinary. In his opinion, if Zhang Yue succeeds in the future, his conscience will not be able to live with him if he doesn't give him a hand.
Guo Lin was happy for Zhang Yue, but also felt that he couldn't keep up with his junior brother, and he would need to work harder after returning.
Only Sun Guo felt a little depressed.
He is a disciple of Shao Yong, and his teacher is a good friend of Mr. Fu, but Mr. Fu and Mr. Fu Dalang didn't mention it, or even express a word of concern.
Mr. Fu is not considerate enough.
Just now, Zhang Yue climbed up the steps. In fact, he was suspected of being rude, and the rich man didn't care.
Fu Shaoting stayed behind to say a few words to everyone, and then said to Zhang Yue: "Sanlang is so young and so talented, which is really impressive. I wonder if he has ever been married?"
Everyone on the side pricked up their ears after hearing this.
Fu Shaoting's question was really profound.
What is the family background of a rich family?
Fu Bi's eldest daughter and second daughter married Feng Jing successively.
Who is Feng Jing?
A handsome guy, not only the first prize but also the third prize.
It is also an interesting story that Feng Jingzhong was the number one scholar. It is said that a minister wanted to make his nephew the number one scholar. He found out that Feng Jing was good, so he eliminated all those who bribed the examiner Feng Jing.
After Feng Jing found out, he changed the name on the paper to 'Ma Liang'.
As a result, the number one winner was Ma Liang.
After Feng Jing won the three-dollar prize, Zhang Yao, a relative of the emperor, captured his son-in-law and forced Feng Jing to come to his home to marry his daughter to her. Zhang Yaozuo hosted a banquet and personally tied a gold belt around his waist and said, "This is the emperor's wish."
How could Feng Jing like such a relative? No matter what the other party said, he would never agree. Later Feng Jing became Fu Bi's son-in-law.
Feng Jing also left behind the story of "Two marriages to the prime minister's daughter, three leaders to the world's greatest power".
As for Fu Bi's other two daughters, they were married to two brothers, Fan Dachong and Fan Dajui. Although these Fan brothers were surnamed Fan, they had nothing to do with Fan Zhongyan, Fan Yong, Fan Zhen, etc. Their grandfathers and fathers Fan Yuan and Fan Jun were not officials, but they were married to their wealthy ancestors for generations. After Fu Bi became prime minister, he did not dislike poverty and love wealth, and allowed his two daughters to continue to marry into the Fan family.
Now Fu Bi's two sons-in-law have been stained with the glory of the prime minister's father-in-law, and they have both become officials.
In addition, Fu Bi heard that he also had a grandniece, who was now waiting to be married.
When faced with Fu Shaoting's question, others would have already thought about it, but Zhang Yue said without hesitation: "Zhang has already fallen in love with someone. If one day she becomes a high school Jinshi, I will go to her home to propose marriage."
Fu Shaoting was a little surprised when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Very good, very good. I really don't know which girl is so lucky."
Zhang Yue said nothing when he heard this.
At this time, the servant on the side said: "Lang Jun respects you."
This was already the intention of seeing off guests. After hearing this, everyone quickly stood up and left.
After sending Zhang Yue out of the hospital, Fu Shaoting returned to the backyard.
But Fu Bi was already sitting in the hall, talking to his mother and his wife Yan.
Yan is the daughter of Yan Shu. In fact, although Fu Bi cursed his father-in-law in front of the emperor, he still had a good relationship with his father-in-law.
Yan Shu had a good temper, and Fu Bi had the same temper. I guess Fu Bi will be fine after kneeling on the washboard for two days after returning home.
This Yan family is no ordinary woman.
After Fu Bi paid homage to the prime minister, Yan helped her mother-in-law enter the palace and enter the court. Women of other high-ranking officials wore beads and jade.
But Yan didn't wear it. Someone asked: "You are the prime minister's daughter when you are young, and you are the prime minister's wife when you are older. Why are you so frugal on weekdays?"
Yan said: "My husband was born as a poor scholar. Although he became the prime minister, his salary is only enough. Now it is good to have hairpins and elephant clothes. Don't take the lead in promoting the trend of luxury."
By the way, this Yan family is also what many women in the Song Dynasty want to live like throughout their lives.
Yan also had a good friendship with Empress Cao. During the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor gave a banquet to hundreds of officials at Xuande Tower. Yan helped her mother-in-law up the tower. Empress Cao looked at her left and right and praised: "Some are aunts, so some are women." "
"Is this Zhang Sanlang from those Sapphire Cases?" Yan said, "Everyone looked for him thousands of times, but when he suddenly looked back, he was in the dim light."
Fu Bi's mother nodded slightly: "What are people like?"
Fu Bi said: "He is a handsome and upright man."
"Are you married?"
Fu Bi smiled and said, "Mom, you are worried about Su'e again."
Mrs. Yan already smiled and said: "It is not easy for girls from the Prime Minister's family to marry, and the nieces and nephews are also average. Su'e has lost control since she was a child, so her mother must help her look after her."
Fu Shaoting on the side said: "Reporting to my grandfather, I just asked, and this time Zhang Sanlang said that he has already found the person he likes."
"That's right."
Fu Bi said: "This man is the nephew of Uncle Ouyang Yong, and he is also a student of Shan Gu, but he comes to visit without bearing the two's famous thorns, and he doesn't want to take advantage of them. Such a young man is a good person no matter what." You need to take a high look.”
Ouyang Xiu was a student of Yan Shu and had a good relationship with Fu Bi. In the case of Shi Jie Fu Bi's rebellion, Ouyang Xiu redressed the grievances of Fu Bi before the emperor.
When Chen Xiang was the magistrate of Heyang County, his boss was Fu Bi. Later, it was Fu Bi who recommended Chen Xiang to be the school manager of the secret pavilion and the judge of the temple.
In other words, due to his friendship with Ouyang Xiu and Chen Xiang, Zhang Yue can be regarded as someone on Fu Bi's line, but Zhang Yue never mentioned a word from the beginning to the end.
Fu Bi's mother said: "This is your men's business, I don't care about it. But why are all the good men in this world...ah?"
After saying this, Fu Bi's mother left on crutches, and Fu Bi personally supported his mother to leave.
Yanshi and Fu Shaoting both stood up to see each other off.
Yan looked at Fu Shaoting and said, "It is the rule of our house that if you come to visit us for the first time, no matter how famous you are, if no one recommends you, it will not be taken lightly. This Zhang Sanlang does not hold the famous invitations of Uncle Ouyang Yong and Shu Gu. How did you meet him?"
Fu Shaoting hesitated for a moment and then said: "Mother, that's what Su'e meant."
Hearing this, Mrs. Yan said: "Our family is unfortunate. Your father took pity on her loneliness and brought her from the countryside. He doesn't restrain her on weekdays and allows her to show her face outside. Now she is so bold and reckless."
Fu Shaoting said: "It's rare for Su'e to find someone she likes. If I can help her, she will definitely abide by women's ways in the future."
Yan was speechless when he heard this.
When Zhang Yue walked out of the Fu Mansion, the sweltering heat had dissipated, the weather had turned cloudy, and he saw that there was going to be a heavy rain in the afternoon.
But whether it is in the morning or at this time.
There will not be many fewer people in front of the Prime Minister's Office. Even if the situation is about to change, these officials and scholars will not leave.
Everything in the world is for profit, and everything in the world is for profit. This is the truth that has not changed in ancient and modern times.
Zhang Yue glanced at the crowd and realized that he was one of them just now.
Zhang Yue thought that scholars were either poor and courageous like Senior Brother Ru Guo, or vulgar and valuable like He Qi. But most scholars look down on these two classes of people. They think all day about how to stand up and make money, and finally fall into the secular world.
Zhang Yue thought of this and couldn't help but look into the distance.
"He Qi hasn't left yet?"
On the side, Huang Haoyi pointed forward, and sure enough, Wang Kui and He Qi were standing at the entrance of the alley, looking at this place from a distance.
Zhang Yue glanced at them and said with a smile: "Ignore them, let's find a tea shop to drink tea first to avoid the rain."
As soon as everyone arrived at the tea shop, heavy rain came.
Everyone sat and drank tea and lamented the heavy rain.
When Zhang Yue was in Fufu just now, he could clearly see everyone's reaction while responding. He looked at Sun Guo, who had been silent and silent, and asked, "Did your master, Mr. Shao, be mentioned in the article you just wrote?"
Sun Guo's face flushed slightly. He had actually included in the scroll that he was Shao Yong's disciple, but for some reason the other party didn't reveal it.
But Sun Guo said on his face: "I'm ashamed, I dare not mention it."
Zhang Yue patted him on the shoulder and said: "You might as well mention that as the saying goes, the smell of wine is also afraid of the depth of the alley."
Sun Guo nodded, then looked at Zhang Yue and asked, "Zhaizhang, you said that I work hard, can't I just rely on my talents and learn to stand out without flattery?"
At this point, Sun Guo immediately regretted and said: "Zhai Chief, I'm talking nonsense. I received a letter from home and my father said that my second brother is getting married when he's old enough. Please ask me what I mean first. I'm the elder brother and I can't delay my second brother. If this happens, If you fail the exam, you will have to return to Luoyang to get married."
Zhang Yue said: "That's a good thing. When you get married, you should first settle down and then study and make progress. It doesn't have to be to start a career first and then start a family. You can also start a family first and then start a career."
Sun Guo was silent for a while.
Zhang Yue asked: "What?"
Sun Guo said: "Zhaizhang, you also know that my family is poor..."
"how?"
"We have to marry into the family, otherwise our family will have no money to support my two younger brothers and me in our studies." Sun Guo whispered.
Zhang Yue was shocked. The prince's student married into his wife, and the news spread out, asking Sun Guo how to hold his head high in front of his classmates in the future.
Zhang Yue almost blurted out, "I'll help you."
Zhang Yue was about to speak, but then he thought, could he help?
If he could help, it would be easy for him to help Sun Guo with his current wealth, but he could help him for a while, but not for a while.
If I fail to pass the next subject, do I want to help?
People's hearts are unpredictable, and sometimes good intentions can turn into evil intentions, and giving random favors is like giving out revenge.
But this is not a story, where the protagonist gets married first, is looked down upon by others for a while, and eventually comes out.
Zhang Yue sighed, poured tea for Sun Guo and said, "Drink tea."
The rain was falling heavily.
Huang Haoyi suddenly said: "Yes, Sanlang, have you heard? Senior Brother Cai is an official in Pizhou and was reported for accepting bribes..."
Something happened to Cai indeed.
Zhang Yue said: "How did you know about this?"
Huang Haoyi immediately explained the reason to Zhang Yue.
Cai Que joined the army as a manager in Pizhou and was in charge of the prosecution and prosecution of the state. Someone wanted to get away with it and bribed Cai Que with money.
After Cai Que accepted the money, he was reported to the Supervisory Department.
Cai Que immediately wrote to his neighbor and classmate Huang Haoqian, hoping to use his connections to get away with the crime.
After hearing this, Zhang Yue also understood that although the official administration of the Song Dynasty was corrupt, official corruption was a common phenomenon, and it was as bad as it was. But Cai really shouldn't be so careless.
Huang Haoyi said: "Listen to what my brother said, Senior Brother Cai is an official for the first time, but he has no connections in the upper level and no market information. He rashly solicits money. It will be difficult not to be accused."
"Senior Brother Cai should at least wait until he gets familiar with it and understands what money should be taken and what money should not be taken before making a decision. Senior Brother Cai must have offended no one in the officialdom when he first arrived, so if he is accused this time, he will accept it. Money that shouldn’t be taken.”
Zhang Yue said: "But Senior Brother Cai is not such a money-grubbing and short-sighted person. Before he left, I told him to be cautious in beginning and respect the end. When you first take up an official position, you do not seek merit but seek no fault."
Huang Haoyi said: "Yes, I also heard what my brother said. Senior Brother Cai is going to suffer a lot. Even if he passes the test, he will have many difficulties in his official career in the future. But Senior Brother Cai is also excusable. I heard He said that when he went to Pizhou to take up his post, he owed a lot of money."
When Zhang Yue heard this, he understood.
In the early stages of becoming a Jinshi official, some people served as local officials and used their connections and backgrounds to achieve some political achievements. Later, they were promoted to higher positions and continued to develop or show their true colors.
Some people are...
Cai indeed is not such a short-sighted person, and the reasons behind it can only make people sigh.
Huang Lu said at this time: "Stop talking, Senior Brother Cai has finally won the Jinshi. It's not like we have to suffer in the examination room."
Sun Guo sighed: "I don't know when it will end."
Huang Haoyi glanced at Zhang Yue and smiled: "It will be over soon."
During the banquet, everyone was in no mood to talk about the coming exam.
Huang Haoyi was chatting eloquently. At this time, several singers came uninvited and came to sit beside them and have a drink.
When Huang Haoyi saw this scene, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately fell silent and no longer looked like he was joking just now.
Zhang Yue couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and took out money to send these singing girls away.
The thunder continued, and without Huang Haoyi speaking, everyone lost interest in talking for a while.
It rained heavily outside the tea house.
Most of the pig head meat on the tea table was eaten, and there were a few sesame seed cakes left.
The spout on the teapot on the red clay stove that Dr. Tea is holding is steaming white.
Zhang Yue looked at the constant rain outside and suddenly remembered the scene when he first met Shichi Niang at the Manyoji Waterfall.
When I first arrived in Beijing, when the boat passed both sides of the Huai River, I could see the continuous reed bushes on both sides and the markets by the water.
During the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, when he and Qi Niang hurriedly looked at each other, there was a flash of emotion in the other's eyes.
Before this big exam, these unfounded emotions stirred up his emotions like a dull summer rain.
The scholars in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion were fighting for a chance for their future, as well as their longing for the future, their anxiety about the future, and all kinds of worries, which were like boiling water in a tea stove, making Zhang Yue's mood tense to the extreme.
On the contrary, a different kind of emotion came to my heart at this time, the love of classmates and the longing of my lover, which I cherished even more at this moment.
After a while, everything will change again.
At this time the boiler water is boiling.
