Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 149 Children of each family (Part [-])
In view of the fact that the children invited to be selected today were all children aged seven to ten, the always benevolent Emperor Longqing didn't put on airs and asked a group of children to stand under the steps and wait, but let them rest in the side hall first.

Gao Yushi didn't wear Yesa today, but changed into a simple dark blue straight, with an ordinary white sheepskin waistcoat covering his head. Although the attire is not outstanding, it is also elegant.

At this moment, he has already greeted several other "candidates", and they have exchanged names. The big guys are not of age, so naturally they don't have names, let alone nicknames, so they can only use "Brother XX" commensurate.

After some greetings, Gao Wushi found out that Ge Shouli's second-in-command, Sun Gexi, had the closest attitude towards him. He always said "Brother Gao" and spoke steadily, not like a child.The second is Ma Ziqiang's second son, Ma Zhen, who is also quite close to Gao's pragmatic attitude, but this son seems to be a little reserved, or not good at speaking, and most of the time he doesn't talk much, and I don't know if it is because he is facing such an occasion for the first time. Can't let go.

Shen Yongmao is older than Gao Yushi, and he is ten years old this year. Although he is polite to Gao Yushi, his expression somewhat looks down on this "little brother"; Li Sicheng and Lu Xingzhou are not very friendly to Gao Yushi. Bad, there is no need to communicate more with a little compliment to each other.

The most interesting ones are Zhao Zuyin and Zhang Jianxiu.

Zhao Zuyin is also nine years old this year. He is the oldest among the group of children besides Shen Yongmao, and his physique is taller than the somewhat short and thin Shen Yongmao. He seems to have found self-confidence because of this, and has been sticking out his chest and belly , looking like he is looking forward to himself.

Gao Wushi looked at it, couldn't help curling his lip in his heart, and thought to himself: Your grandfather Zhao Zhenji looked forward to Zixiong in the cabinet, at least he has a bit of confidence, after all, he is known as one of the "Four Great Masters in Central Sichuan", and his literary name is at its peak.Coupled with the fact that you dared to be tough and tough Yan Song back then, you have a bit of arrogance, which can be regarded as a result of your character, but you kid has no talent, no ability, and no ability. You are really "who is the hero".

Li Sicheng is different.His temperament is not exactly like Li Chunfang.Li Chunfang sees everyone with a smiling face, and he is unwilling to offend anyone, even if the official position is much lower than his, he can smile at each other.I heard that just yesterday, Hai Rui probably received the news that Gao Gong wrote to Cai Guoxi asking Ying Tianfu to forgive the Songjiang Tianfu case, and wrote a memorial to the capital to scold people. That kind of "politeness", this time even pointed the finger at the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, saying that the Manchu Dynasty was all women.

At that time, no matter Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, or Chen Yiqin, they all turned black after hearing it, but they just held back and didn't speak.Zhao Zhenji looked at Li Chunfang with an even more angry face.Li Chunfang is the first assistant, others can keep quiet, but he can't, but after he was stunned for a long time, he smiled wryly and said: Since the court is full of women, I'm probably an old woman.

All the elders in the cabinet were stunned: I have seen such a cowardly person, but I have never seen such a cowardly person. This chief assistant is too useless.

However, Li Sicheng gave Gao a pragmatic feeling, but he was not exactly the same as Li Chunfang, the grandfather. Although he also smiled when talking to others, it was not a "sorry" smile, but a polite smile.What other people said didn't match what he meant, and although he didn't refute it, he never agreed.In short, in the high-practical observation, this person is probably the kind who was influenced by Li Chunfang, but still persisted.

Reminiscent of the history of Li Sicheng's 17-year Jinshi examination in Wanli with No. 26 in the second class, Gao Yushi felt that this person still needs to be taken seriously.

Not long after, several eunuchs came in, the leader of whom was highly pragmatic, Meng Chong, the No.And the person who was half a step behind him was not Yi Yi's generation, it was Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, and Feng Bao, the admiral of the East Factory.

Because Meng Chong was recommended by Gao Gong, he met Gao Yushi when Gao Yushi entered the palace with Gao Gong before, and when he saw Gao Yushi at this time, he even nodded at him deliberately, and then he stood still. Said: "The emperor announced that the children of all the ministers will meet."

Feng Bao then continued: "Everyone, please tidy up your appearance a little bit, and then follow me to the audience. Remember, don't lose your dignity in front of you."

For the sake of a few brats, the No. [-] and No. [-] and No. [-] personnel of the Labor Department and Ritual Supervisor came here in person. It can be seen that Emperor Longqing really took this matter as a big event, at least he gave it a lot of face—of course, in theory, this face must be Not for their children themselves.

All the children tidied up their appearance one after another, and then consciously walked in front of Meng Chong and Feng Bao according to their elders' official positions and seniority.Seeing Gao Wushi walking behind Li Sicheng, Meng Chong frowned, as if he wanted to call Gao Wushi to the front temporarily.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gao Yushi quickly shook his head slightly at him. Meng Chong's lips were already slightly parted, but seeing Gao Yushi's appearance, he gave up.

Gao Wushi heaved a sigh of relief, but just caught a glimpse of Feng Bao's nostrils moving on one side, as if he snorted silently, and couldn't help but said, "It's not so good, it seems that Feng Bao not only looks down on Meng Chong, but also Even with deep grievances, if I want to win him over, I'm afraid it will be very difficult.But... this Meng Chong really does not do things very well, so blatantly, I am afraid that a little mud will not be able to support the wall, which is a bit difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, nothing else went wrong, everyone followed Meng Chong and Feng Bao from the side hall to the main hall of Wenhua Hall, followed the most formal etiquette, without looking directly at them, and slightly bowed in.

The same is true for Gao Yushi, so he didn't see the specific situation of the temple.

But this problem was solved immediately, because he heard Emperor Longqing's gentle voice like an uncle next door: "Haha, all the young ladies are here, okay, okay, don't be restrained, all raise your heads for me to see Look."

All the children raised their heads after hearing the words, Long Qing looked at them carefully, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, all good."

I don't know what aspect of his "good" is evaluated. If it is only about appearance, there is indeed no one here who looks completely crooked, and most of them are at least above average. In terms of temperament, these All the children are civil servants, and with their family background, they are naturally not comparable to children from ordinary families - at least on the surface, they are always better.

Gao Wushi noticed that Emperor Longqing himself was sitting on the throne of the emperor in the palace, and there was one person in each of his left and right hands.As usual, the prince on the left is the crown prince. No matter how young he is, he is the heir apparent, so he must occupy the honorable position.On Long Qing's right hand side, sat a beautiful woman in a palace costume who was only in her early twenties, with phoenix eyes, willow eyebrows, and a nose with cherry lips.
