Feng Ziying naturally didn't expect that the whole Jia family, which seemed to have little to do with him, would be plunged into chaos because of his Chinese style. Of course, he didn't have that much thought to think about it at this time.
After sending Ruixiang away to report the news, so that his mother and aunt could share his joy, Feng Ziying did not return to the house even though she was full of wine and food.
There will be a deer-crowing banquet tomorrow, and there are things to do this afternoon.
Qiao Yingjia and Qi Yongtai must visit them at home, and they must visit them as early as possible. This is the rule of respecting teachers.
Qiao Yingjia is not his master, but he is his master. In a sense, he is his guide on the road to being a scholar and civil servant, not to mention that he is now the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. history.
In both public and private matters, in matters of emotion and reason, he is the first person he needs to visit.
Even Guan Yingzhen vaguely reminded himself before leaving, and Feng Ziying was very touched by this kindness.
Qiao Yingjia is not the kind of person who is particularly broad-minded. Well, it seems that the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate are not very broad-minded, but Qiao Yingjia is not narrow-minded either, but if you want to ignore him or offend him, then you will definitely not There is good fruit to eat.
Qiao Yingjia was kind to him, and for this reason, Feng Ziying also wanted to respect him.
I didn't bring anything with me, so I just walked in empty-handed, but with the title of being the youngest person to be elected after the entire Great Zhou Dynasty moved its capital, it was the greatest honor and respect.
Feng Ziying has been to Qiao Mansion many times. Similarly, the concierge of Qiao Mansion has long known that this person is the master's favorite disciple. As soon as the name card was entered, the chief of the concierge ran out in a hurry. After passing through the countless people waiting outside, Feng Ziying went in.
A large number of officials who had arrived outside the door and were waiting to see him didn't know such a young man. They didn't know who this person was. They all asked each other to find out. After all, one or two came to know him well. Knowing Feng Ziying, it was inevitable to show off.
The youngest person to be elected since the Great Zhou Dynasty moved its capital to the capital. At the age of fourteen, he was also the youngest person to be elected to Beizhili in modern times! The key is actually the son of Wu Xun, the legitimate son of General Shenwu and the commander-in-chief of Yulin Town.
I have to admit that you are awesome. You will be a candidate at the age of fourteen. With such precocious intelligence, it is almost a sure thing to pass the Jinshi examination. Don’t talk about this subject, you will take the next subject, and even give you a few more years to take the exam. Before you are thirty years old Passing the imperial examination is enough to honor one's ancestors.
Seeing Feng Ziying come in, she bowed her hands respectfully, Qiao Yingjia showed a happy and satisfied smile on her face, raised her hand, "I'm glad Ziying is here, take a seat."
"This disciple was able to pass the Chinese style in Qiu Wei this time, all thanks to Master Qiao who introduced him to the school, and he was able to study at Qingtan Academy for two years. This kindness will be unforgettable for the rest of his life!"
Another deep bow.
Feng Ziying's words came from sincerity and from the bottom of her heart.
If Qiao Yingjia hadn't recommended him to Qingtan Academy, even if he could use other means to go to Chongzheng or Tonghui Academy, he might not have had such an opportunity, and he might not have been able to improve his scriptures so much in such a period of time. It is impossible to transform into a dragon in one fell swoop.
Qiao Yingjia was also very happy. On the one hand, he did not make a mistake. Feng Ziying's performance even exceeded his initial best estimate. On the other hand, he was also very satisfied with the respect and sincerity shown by Feng Ziying.
Seeing a new star rising, the fourteen-year-old Juren, even if he can't make it through spring next year, so what?
If you study hard for another three years and improve the meaning of the classics, you will definitely be able to pass the junior college in Chunwei. You are still only eighteen years old. Isn't the eighteen-year-old Jinshi enough to shock the world?
This is your own discernment of people, this is your recommendation of talents for the country.
"Sit down, Ziying." Qiao Yingjia walked over, patted Feng Ziying on the shoulder, and motioned for him to sit down, "I don't deny that I led the way for you, but after all, you walked this road by yourself. You have made it through your own efforts, no one can help you, and I am very proud of you."
"But what I am more proud of you is what you have done for the people of the capital last month. This is the unity of knowledge and action. Your "Epidemic Prevention Preparation" is now highly praised by Shuntian Prefecture. A few days ago, Mr. Xu, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, mentioned this matter to me..."
"Master Qiao is over-reputed, and it is not due to the disciples alone. The mountain chief, the headmaster, and many other students have contributed a lot..." Feng Ziying did not dare to take credit for God's credit.
Qiao Yingjia already knew Feng Ziying's humility very well. Although he was young, he was extremely mature and mellow in his behavior, which made Qiao Yingjia more optimistic about him.
I stayed at Qiao Yingjia's house for half an hour, which also broke the record of seeing guests in Qiao's house. Even if Qiao Gong's close friend came to the house, this was just this kind of treatment. Feng Ziying was just a small official, and she could enjoy it. With such an honor, it's no wonder that everyone in Duke Qiao's house is particularly attentive to Feng Ziying.
When Feng Ziying came to Qi Yongtai's residence, she deeply felt that it was very different from Qiao Yingjia's place.
Although there were a lot of people outside Qiao Yingjia's mansion, the attitude of those seeking an audience was relatively serious and sad. However, the situation was different at Qi Yongtai's side. The number of people was at least twice as large as that at Qiu Yingjia's side, and almost all of them were well-dressed. , it can be seen from the clothing, ranging from seventh grade to third grade.
Feng Ziying came on foot, so when he appeared in front of Qi Yongtai's mansion, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.
The handsome young man in a green shirt and brocade belt could tell at a glance that he was not in the official career, but this was the residence of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. If the person who came here to see him was not an official, then there was no one else. If he was a relative of Qi Yongtai, then that was it. You shouldn't go through the front door. There is a small corner door on the side, which is also used by Qi's family.
Immediately, a man in his forties came over calmly, "Young Master, are you coming to Qi Mansion?"
Seeing the other party's eyes rolling around and looking at her, Feng Ziying also felt funny. She guessed that her dress and the fact that she came on foot made her look particularly dazzling among dozens of carriages and sedans, which caused this incident. bit of attention.
"Yes." Feng Ziying nodded.
"First time?" the other party asked tentatively.
"Not really, I've been here once or twice." Feng Ziying shook her head, which made the other party even more confused. She's been here once or twice, what's the relationship? If it were a relative, he would never answer like this, and if he was a nephew, he shouldn't have such a calm attitude. He was obviously not an official, so it was hard to guess.
Qi Yongtai's house is notoriously difficult to enter. It's not that there are no visitors, but there are queues, and the reason must be stated in the name card. If there is no good reason, people will be sent away directly.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to see Mr. Qi today. Little brother, there are at least twenty or thirty people lined up in front of us." Still unwilling to give up and want to set up a relationship, the man speculated: "Are you from Baoding Prefecture?"
"No, from Shandong." Feng Ziying became even more funny. Qi Yongtai was from Baoding Prefecture, so the other party thought that she was from Qi Yongtai's hometown.
"Oh?" The other party is getting more and more confused. No matter how you look at it, you can't tell Feng Ziying's identity, and Feng Ziying's attitude also makes the other party realize that they don't want to be intimate with you.
The moment the post was handed over, the concierge had already recognized Feng Ziying, and without any hesitation, he directly accepted the post and invited people in. This made the people waiting behind to see the strange thing agitated. They waited until Feng Ziying entered before the concierge responded. Several minor officials who were a little angry said coldly: "This is the master's student, don't you know? In the morning, Shuntian Mansion Qiuwei Juren was elected. The youngest candidate in our Zhou Dynasty was fourteen years old. Haven't you heard of it?" "
Like a boulder smashed into water, causing ripples to spread in all directions, slight gasps of air, sighs and whispers spread one after another within a radius of twenty or thirty feet centered around the gate of Qi Mansion.
The youngest person to be elected? ! Fourteen! The child prodigy is precocious!
There are also some people who are better informed and quickly start to show off. General Shenwu, the son of the chief soldier of Yulin Town, a lone hero who traveled to Shandong, went into the tiger's den to defeat the bandits and turned the tide. The characters began to complement each other, and the image of a young hero with both civil and military skills quickly emerged on the page.
Feng Ziying did not expect that her image would be quickly deified the moment he appeared in front of the Qi Mansion. Rumors in the capital often fermented faster than people imagined, and it would even take another half an hour. It is estimated that Feng Ziying's many deeds combined with The gimmick of being the youngest person to be elected in the Great Zhou Dynasty can be spread throughout the capital city overnight.
"Well, you should also go to Brother Rujun. It will be of great help to Ziying in the future." Qi Yongtai didn't mind that Feng Ziying went to see Qiao Yingjia first. He still had this magnanimity.
In his opinion, without Qiao Yingjia's recommendation, Feng Ziying would not have come to Qingtan Academy. Maybe he and Feng Ziying did not have this mentoring relationship, and Feng Ziying has also put forward very good insights and opinions on many of his works in the past two years. , which gave me some newer understandings on many levels that I had never thought of before.
Besides, now that Feng Ziying has passed the most difficult provincial examination, it also means that perhaps in the near future, Feng Ziying may truly embark on an official career.
In comparison, the National Examination for Feng Ziying, Qi Yongtai felt that it might not be as difficult and dangerous as the Provincial Examination. After all, Feng Ziying's advantage lay in current policy theory. The only thing that was uncertain was whether Feng Ziying could achieve a good result.
"However, Ziying, you should try to go as little as possible to Ru Jun in the near future. He is also a figure in the limelight now, and it is not suitable for you to get involved in those incidents." Qi Yongtai pondered for a moment, "Maybe during the Spring Festival Competition After that, things will be much better on his side.”
"Master Qi, is this a matter of the Criminal Ministry's Heavenly Prison?" Feng Ziying also heard some rumors. This is probably Qiao Yingjia's biggest challenge after taking office as the right deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
