(Work overtime tonight, change after regular routine)
…
"hehe!"
At this time, Sheng Hong was not in a hurry to answer. He just turned his head, looked at Sheng Changbai beside him, and asked sarcastically: "Changbai, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Sheng Changquan also turned to look at his second brother, looking forward to his answer.
However, at the same time, he himself was secretly analyzing it in his mind, constantly trying to figure out the answer to this question.
"Father!"
Sheng Changbai still looked serious. He put one hand in front of him and the other behind him, and said unhurriedly: "Actually, my son thinks that the examiner of this provincial examination may be Mr. Zhai!"
"oh?"
Sheng Hong raised his thick eyebrows, looking a little strange.
"Changbai, how did you know?"
After hearing Sheng Hong's words, Sheng Changquan understood instantly.
"It seems that the examiner of this provincial examination should be Bachelor Zhai from the Hanlin Academy!"
Sheng Changquan thought to himself.
The real name of Zhai University Scholar is Zhai Jingnian. He was a Jinshi in the year when the late Emperor Yujia personally campaigned. He did not enter the Central Committee and did not care about the disputes. He just immersed himself in the Hanlin Academy, edited and compiled books, and attempted to write a book and biography, leaving a mark in the history of the Qing Dynasty. A thick step.
But no matter what, Mr. Zhai Jingnian can be regarded as a veteran of the two dynasties. Although he does not hold any important power, he still has a considerable reputation in the literary world.
Although a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is only a third-rank official, with a low official rank and little power, he is extremely noble and highly respected by the world.
Sometimes, Mr. Zhai dared to tell clearly in the court what others did not dare to say, and said some things that others did not dare to show to the officials.
Because he did not interfere, or rather rarely interfered, with the disputes in the court, whenever there was such an important moment, the monarchs and ministers above the court would often let him come forward with a tacit understanding.
Of course, some people may ask, if this is the case, why not let Liang Jijiu take the exam?
In fact, there is another reason.
Gein, there are a lot of references from Imperial College students in this provincial examination. Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, it will be difficult for Mr. Liang to be selected.
In fact, in the previous imperial examinations, no Imperial College Imperial Examiner has ever served as chief examiner. Since the founding of this dynasty, they have only served as deputy examiners. Otherwise, that is purely delusional.
"Father!"
"In my son's opinion, if we talk about who is the most suitable to be the examiner, among these three adults, Mr. Zhai is really the most suitable."
While Sheng Changquan was analyzing in secret, Sheng Changbai also began to explain his reasons.
"Although the officials elected these three adults, it is simply impossible for Mr. Liang!"
"As we all know, there is no precedent in this dynasty for Lord Jijiu to serve as the examiner. Therefore, Lord Liang!"
Having said this, Sheng Changbai shook his head and immediately rejected Lord Jijiu.
To be honest, the imperial wine ceremony was quite miserable.
Because every time it is the turn of the provincial examination or the general examination, they will always be selected as candidates for the examiner at the first time. However, in the end, they will often be eliminated at the first time, and then they can only Serve as deputy examiner.
In short, their position is dedicated to accompanying runners.
"Um!"
When Sheng Changbai said this, Sheng Changquan nodded in agreement, feeling that what he said was indeed reasonable.
"As for Mr. Sun!"
When talking about Sun's trip to the Ministry of Personnel, Sheng Changbai paused slightly, and his expression couldn't help but become more serious.
It can be seen that Sheng Changbai is full of feelings of fear towards Sun Zhixing.
"Master Sun is at a critical juncture at this time. If he wants to enter the cabinet, he will definitely not have the time and thought to serve as the examiner of this rural examination. Therefore, after all calculations, Master Zhai has the best chance! "
I don't know what Sheng Changbai was thinking when he paused, but after he recovered, he casually focused the topic on the examiner of the provincial examination, and continued: "And!"
"I remember that when Mr. Zhai was in the Hanlin Academy, he often said that he was short of manpower. He seemed to want to find more people to supplement the manpower of each yamen."
"So, I think this provincial examination is the best opportunity for him to recruit people."
Sheng Changbai is now the editor of the Hanlin Academy, which means that Mr. Zhai is his boss. Based on the actual situation he has learned, and through such calculations, the conclusion he draws is not outrageous.
"Not bad!"
When Sheng Changbai finished speaking everything, a flash of appreciation suddenly flashed in Sheng Hong's eyes.
He even showed a rare smile.
While Sheng Hong was stroking his beard, he looked at Sheng Changbai with relief, his face looking peaceful.
"Changbai, you have looked at these issues very comprehensively and analyzed them very well!"
"It seems that your training over the past few years has already yielded some results!"
Sheng Hong's praise made the two brothers Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changquan feel a little embarrassed. After all, this was a scene that had never been seen in a thousand years - Sheng Hong praised his son in person!
"Father, you are so flattering!"
Facing Sheng Hong's "kindness", even Sheng Changbai felt a little uncomfortable.
He awkwardly put down his hands that were placed in front of him and behind him, and said in a tone that was as calm as possible: "My son is just thinking nonsense. In the end, I still need to ask you to make the final decision!"
"Ahem!"
After this reminder, Sheng Hong quickly came to his senses, so he quickly retracted his smile, straightened his face, and returned to the "strict father" that Sheng Changquan was familiar with.
"hehe!"
Sheng Changquan smiled secretly in his heart, but he pretended to lower his head, avoiding Sheng Hong's embarrassing moment.
"Long right!"
Seeing his embarrassing moment when "no one knew" in the room, Sheng Hong finally said with confidence: "Your second brother's guess is correct. The examiner of this provincial examination is indeed this Bachelor Zhai!"
Although I don't know where Sheng Hong got the news, but if the old man dares to say this, it must be true.
He calmly walked to Sheng Changquan, continued the previous topic, and said: "Changquan, you have to remember!"
"In the next few days, you will ask your second brother for advice and remember the temperament of this great scholar Zhai. What is his favorite writing style?"
"Keep these things in mind so that they can be used later!"
Sheng Hong sat down again and said: "Chang Quan, this is not the first time you have referred to this. I believe you understand these things!"
"Yes, father, my son understands!"
Sheng Changquan stood up and bowed respectfully to show that he understood.
"Um!"
Seeing that he had already said everything he wanted to explain, Sheng Hong couldn't help but nodded secretly.
"In that case, then go back first!"
Seeing his two taller sons standing next to him, Sheng Hong couldn't help but feel a little relieved. He waved to the two sons and signaled them to leave.
"Yes, father!"
After Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changquan looked at each other, they simply chose to leave.
However, when the brothers Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changquan were about to exit, Sheng Hong spoke again from behind and warned.
"Chang Quan, the provincial examination is about to begin. You must not delay your future because of the Shen family's affairs!"
Sheng Hong was worried that Sheng Changquan was putting the cart before the horse and putting the affairs of Shen Shouzheng and the Yu family above the provincial examination, so he said this.
"Yes, father, the son can save it!"
Sheng Changquan responded with an affirmative look.
In fact, there was no need for Sheng Hong to explain. Sheng Changquan naturally knew the importance of this. If he hadn't been sure that he could quickly resolve the letter from the Shen family, he wouldn't even have accepted the matter.
"well!"
"It's a pity that Chang Feng is not here today. Otherwise, he should be allowed to learn more!"
After Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changquan left, Sheng Hong stood alone in front of the table in Hanhaitang and expressed the following emotion.
By the way, after more than six years, Sheng Changfeng still failed to pass the entrance exam. He took the exam twice, but both ended in dismal results.
Now, Sheng Changfeng will no longer talk about his sure success. The sinister society has taught him how to be humble!
Moreover, because Sheng Changfeng is getting older, so this time, next spring, whether he can survive or not, Sheng Hong is ready to find him a wife and let him start a family.
…
Outside, the two brothers Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changquan walked back together.
"Xiao Qi, thank you so much for your gift this time!"
Sheng Changbai turned his head and thanked his younger brother.
Because of the study tour, when Sheng Changquan returned, he naturally had to prepare gifts for everyone in the family.
Among them, because Sheng Changbai had a child, he gave them the most and most precious things in the courtyard.
"Hmm! Second brother, what are you talking about?"
Sheng Changquan shook his head, pretending to be unhappy, and retorted: "Second brother, we are all a family. What's wrong with me, the uncle, giving a small gift to my niece?"
"Is it possible that you still want to refuse such a small thing?"
"little things?"
Sheng Changbai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Xiao Qi, those things you sent are not small things at all!"
In fact, in addition to the jade pendant, Sheng Changquan's gift to Zhuo Jie'er also included a string of dzi beads that had been consecrated and blessed by an eminent monk.
And this Dzi Bead, not to mention the raw material itself, is extremely precious. It is a very strong and yang thing buried deep in the earth, nurtured in the most yin and cold places.
As the saying goes, the yin pole generates yang, and the Dzi Bead itself is a spiritual material born from such mysterious creation.
After that, not to mention that they have all been consecrated and blessed by eminent monks and great virtues. After these operations, their own value has made several qualitative leaps!
"snort!"
In response, Sheng Changquan just snorted slightly, but didn't even want to say more.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Sheng Changbai was dumbfounded by Sheng Changquan's reaction: "Xiao Qi, it was the second brother who made the mistake this time!"
"I shouldn't be so separated from you and tell you this!"
But in this regard, Sheng Changquan still ignored him.
"Xiaoqi..."
There was no other way. In the end, Sheng Changbai had no choice but to follow Sheng Changquan and apologize to him honestly. After a long time, Sheng Changquan reluctantly forgave him.
In fact, this was because of the good relationship between the two brothers. If it had been Sheng Changfeng, this scene would not have happened at all.
"correct!"
After coaxing Sheng Changquan, Sheng Changbai suddenly asked: "Xiao Qi, when you saw Zhong Huai, was he in good condition?"
Sheng Changbai and Gu Tingye were really good friends. At this time, after everything had calmed down, Sheng Changbai finally started to care about his good friends.
"Second Uncle Gu?"
Sheng Changquan thought for a while in his mind, organized his words and said: "Actually, Uncle Gu's life is pretty good at Caobang. Although he is a little tired, I feel it is better than what he had at Ningyuan Hou Mansion. Much happier!"
"I think this wandering life is the kind of freedom he hopes for!"
Sheng Changquan opened his eyes and wrote an evaluation of Gu Tingye's life based on his own feelings.
"Yeah?"
Sheng Changbai was a little confused: "Does this guy Zhong Huai like to wander around the world?"
"However, I have heard him say before that what he wants to do most is actually to come back in a high-profile manner, and then let the Gu family personally beg him to return home. Why now?"
Sheng Changbai secretly wondered in his heart whether Gu Tingye had changed.
In fact, this was Sheng Changbai's misunderstanding. What Sheng Changquan said were all his own subjective thoughts.
If Gu Tingye were by Sheng Changquan's side right now, he would probably pick up the small gun given by the official and stab Sheng Changquan straight away!
I can't help it, who told him to talk so irritatingly!
…
(Change first and then change)
…
"Um?"
Hearing Sheng Changbai's whisper behind him, Sheng Changquan paused, with a little embarrassment on his face.
Fortunately, Sheng Changquan walked quickly. At this time, Sheng Changbai, who was sitting behind him, could not see the strangeness on his face. Therefore, in order to prevent some inappropriate scenes from appearing on the scene, Sheng Changquan quickly changed the topic and brought With Sheng Changbai, the conversation went in another direction.
"By the way, second brother, didn't dad ask you to teach me?"
Sheng Changquan turned around and grabbed his second brother, urging him: "Now, let's quickly find a quiet place. Tell me carefully, what kind of articles does Mr. Zhai like best?"
"What are his political views?"
"ah?"
Poor Sheng Changbai was still immersed in doubts about his friend, so he was directly grabbed by Sheng Changquan and dragged him far away.
"Huh? Huh! Xiao Qi, please slow down! Please slow down!"
