When I returned to my apartment alone, the scholar was still there! In addition to his simple clothes, I saw that he was also carrying a bamboo book basket. The book basket was also a little worn out. There was a broken umbrella on it and a walking lantern hanging on the side.
This image reminded Lin Linyou of Ning Caichen.
"Who are you looking for?" Lin Linyou lightly kicked the scholar on the butt.
The scholar was startled, turned around, rubbed his butt and said: "Sir, please respect yourself..."
"Little scholar, I recognize you." Lin Linyou remembered, wasn't this the scholar Jiang Jianxue who was looking at Yue Rong on the boat with reluctance that day in front of Hanshan Temple in Suzhou?
"Sir, Xiaosheng also recognizes you." Jiang Jianxue said, "But I am no longer a scholar, but a scholar."
"Ah! Congratulations." Lin Linyou cupped his hands and said, "Doesn't that mean you can become an official?"
"How can it be so easy to become an official?" Jiang Jianxue looked a little lonely.
Also, with the development of the imperial examination to this day, candidates can only be said to be qualified to be officials, but they are not assigned to be officials. In the ten years of poverty, some people have risen through the ranks to turn their fortunes around and realize their dream of being a noble son from a poor family; some people have been involved in party disputes as soon as they entered the official career before even wearing official uniforms, and even lost their lives; some people have read that the career of a crazy official is ultimately a reflection of the mirror and the moon. In the dream, someone passed the exam but once saw through it all, he returned to his hometown to live in seclusion and farm.
There are risks in the imperial examination, so you must be cautious when you are an official!
"Is Miss Rong here?" Jiang Jianxue saw Lin Linyou pushing open the courtyard door, so he took a step forward and mustered up the courage to ask.
"Are you here to see her?" Of course Lin Linyou had already guessed that he was here to see Yue Rong, so he lectured like a dean, "When you study, study hard and don't think about love and love. "
Jiang Jianxue blushed: "I didn't..."
"Come in!" Lin Linyou is not a teaching director after all, and he doesn't want to end up becoming someone he hates.
Jiang Jianxue nodded in thanks and stepped forward to the threshold with some restraint. Looking around curiously, she didn't pay attention to the front and bumped into a fat body with a "bang".
"Who is this?" Zhang Bi stood in front of Jiang Jianxue.
Jiang Jianxue apologized hurriedly.
"Just, that scholar...brother, you have seen him before." Lin Lin said.
"Why are everyone being brought in?" Zhang Bi muttered in a low voice, "Do you think we are an almshouse?"
…
Yue Rong was in a bad mood and hiding in her room. Of course Lin Linyou would not disturb her just because she was a scholar.
The two of them first arranged for the scholar to sit on the floor in the living room.
"Where's Miss Rong?" Jiang Jianxue put down the book basket and asked impatiently.
"Are you still crying?" Lin Linyou ignored him and asked himself about Zhang Bi.
Jiang Jianxue asked anxiously: "What did you do to Miss Rong? Why did you make her cry?"
"How do you talk?"
"The scholar's words are so indecent."
Jiang Jianxue realized that she had lost her composure and scratched her head in embarrassment, dandruff falling like snowflakes.
"Brother Jiang, why do you smell sour? Have you read too much? It's all fermented!" Lin Linyou smelled the smell of Laotan pickled cabbage filling the air.
Jiang Jianxue's face turned even redder: "I... haven't taken a bath for a long time. Can I..."
"The kitchen is over there. Boil the pot and boil the water yourself!" Lin Linyou pointed to the back, "You came to see Miss Rong and you didn't even tidy up?"
"I..." Jiang Jianxue stood up and muttered, "I don't have a change of clothes..."
Damn...
Zhang Bi: "Don't look at me! He can't wear my clothes."
Having no choice but to dig out a set of old clothes, Lin Linyou threw them to Jiang Jianxue.
A group of royal guards came towards Zhang Bi's apartment with chaotic steps...
Zhang Bi and Lin Linyou were completely unaware and were bored. Lin Linyou looked through Jiang Jianxue's book basket: "Look at what books these scholars are reading now!"
They are just the "Four Books", "Five Classics", "The Analects", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Great Learning", "Mencius", etc., which are familiar but have not been read, and there is also Zhu Xi's "Commentary on Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books", which is a textbook approved by the Ming Dynasty and No wonder the standards of the imperial examination were ruined by Jiang Jianxue.
"At that time, we had many more subjects to take exams than now." Lin Linyou said with a smile, "But the one I read the most was the "Five-Year and Three-Year College Entrance Examination Simulation". That is a sacred book!"
"Wrong." Zhang Bi said, "At that time, if you passed the college entrance examination, you were just equivalent to a scholar today. You were not even considered to be a candidate. If you want to be an official, you have to take the application and performance test."
"That's right." Lin Linyou said, and pulled out a book from the bottom of the book basket. The apricot yellow cover was different from other books. On the cover were written the six characters "White Lotus Morning Confession", "This... Do they still take this test now?"
"..." Zhang Bi took the book with confusion on his face, and slowly his confusion turned into shock.
"Bang!" The courtyard door was violently knocked open.
The first ten captains of the school crowded in, and then Wang Qian from the Qianhu Office, accompanied by Wu Yao from the Baihu Zhuangjing General Banner, walked in slowly.
"Wang Qianhu, what are you..." Zhang Bi stood up and went up to him with Lin Linyou, "You broke the door of our courtyard, you have to pay for it!"
"Brother Zhang, don't blame me. This is also my responsibility." Wang Qian said, "Yang Xiaoqi isn't here?"
"Are you looking for Yang Fang?" Zhang Ben said, "There's no need for such a big battle, right? I almost thought you were here to ransack the house!"
"You guys wait here." Wang Qian turned his head slightly and said to Zhuang Jing and Wu Yao on his left and right. Then he raised his head to Zhang Bi and said, "I'll take a step to speak."
Zhang Bi then led Wang Qian into the living room and closed the door. Lin Linyou was also there.
Wang Qian glanced at Lin Linyou and had no intention of letting him avoid him. Originally, what he was talking about was about their brother Yang Fang. Avoiding everyone was also to save some room for face when he broke in. After all, they would get along with each other in the future. The days are still long!
"Yang Fang, what did you do?"
"Your brother, Yang Xiaoqi, and Li Xiangnan, the guard of thousands of households at Jubaomen, hid the gold and silver goods of the silk merchant Zhang Mingguang and others." Wang Qian said, "At this time, I heard that Zhang Mingguang and others asked my Zhang Yushi to prepare Submit a memorial to impeach!”
"Really? I really don't know about this." Zhang Ben murmured.
I really didn’t expect Yang Fang, who is usually honest, to be so capable in private?
Wang Qian said: "Fortunately, I received the news and immediately sent people to the elephant training center, but there was no trace of Yang Xiaoqi... Did he really not come back?"
Lin Linyou was very unhappy with his behavior of breaking in, and his speech was not so polite: "No. Is it possible that Mr. Qianhu still suspects that we have hidden him?"
Wang Qian smiled and said, "That's not what you said. If this matter comes to the ears of His Majesty, it will tarnish the reputation of our Imperial Guard. I am doing this for the good of all of us. Besides, it will be Yang Xiaoqi who will be punished."
The Nanshilou Jubaomen area is the site of the Jinyiwei Zhongqian Qianhu Institute. After Li Chun's incident, most of the official schools in the Zhongqian Qianhu Institute were transferred to the Zhongqian Qianhu Institute. At present, Wang Qian is mainly a member of the Thousand Households in the Middle and Later Thousand Households Office, and temporarily replaces the missing Thousand Households in the Front Thousand Households Office in the Middle School.
Therefore, what happened to the front thousand households was of course under Wang Qian's charge.
Zhang Bilin Linyou has stayed in both the front and back Qianhu Houses. Now he is in the Zhongzhong Qianhu House and he is familiar with the whole capital. They are also familiar with Qianhu Li Xiangnan, the guard of Jubaomen, but they don't know when the third brother hooked up with him?
Just as he was talking, he heard a commotion outside, and one person shouted: "How can you, the royal guards, be so rude!? At least, let me put on my clothes..."
Lin Linyou opened the door and saw a school captain dragging the naked and wet scholar Jiang Jianxue out of the kitchen and dragging him to Zhuang Jing Wu Yao: "Two adults, they found someone behind the house, but they didn't know it was Yang Xiaoqi. ?”
