The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 189 Enlightenment Day
As soon as the March test was over, 290 people were selected. Originally, there were only 290 people. Later, "Fan Jiuban" was added, so there was one more person. However, the final ranking on the apricot list was still 290th.

There were 290 people who participated in the palace examination. Tongcheng Fangbao, who was originally ranked fourth, rushed back to Tongcheng because of his mother's illness and was unable to participate in the palace examination.

This time, of the two candidates from Tongcheng, one did not participate in the second and third rounds, and the other was unable to participate in the palace examination due to his mother's illness, but they both regretted it.

Of course, Mr. Zhang is the most regrettable, there is still no one in Tongcheng.

Shi Yunjin, Lu Baozhong, and Jia Guowei won the first prize again, continuing the glory of the test, and rode horses to the Golden Street.

After the palace examination, it was still so lively, but what everyone remembered was the bustle of news that exploded like thunder every day during the examination, and all kinds of strange things that happened this year.

Fan Xiu's sedan chair for the answer sheet, re-election, Zhang Tingyu's comments, Fan Xiu's nine and a half places, Dai Mingshi's superior talent and two or three missed exams, Fang Bao missed the palace exam, and the twists and turns facing Lin Zhijun ...

One person at a time, one person at a time who will leave a bright future in history...

They all passed in front of Gu Huaishu like this, and she didn't know much about them before.

There are 290 records of the general examination, 50 people participated in the palace examination, and [-] Shujishi were selected after the imperial examination.

Fan Xiu, Lin Zhijun, Wu Shiyu and others are all among them.

The new batch of people who came out were all Zhang Tingyu's disciples, and they called themselves "students" to Zhang Tingyu.

Because Zhang Tingyu made all the limelight during the test, everyone admired his talent, and saying "Old Mr. Zhang" was convincing and respectful.

A batch of new blood was immediately added to the Imperial Academy, plus half of the people who had defected to Zhang Tingyu, more than [-]% of the entire Imperial Academy had already fallen into Zhang Tingyu's hands.

This time, because of the mishandling of Fan Xiu's affairs, the Baye Party suffered heavy losses.

Originally, Fan Xiu himself was really nothing, but he was cheerful and eloquent, and he had the demeanor of a celebrity, and he had a wide range of friends. It can be said that all the candidates who were in the same year as Fan Xiu this year recognized him.

The Baye Party originally thought that Fan Xiu would not be able to get up this time, but Zhang Tingyu threw him down severely.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Tingyu turned around, he shamelessly refuted himself, and suggested that Fan Xiu should be placed between No.9 and No.10 in the article of refutation.

have to.

So Fan Xiu became the first nine and a half candidates in the test!

Is this okay?

Fan Xiu's reputation has been passed on again and again, which has completely exceeded the imagination of the Baye Party.

However, Fan Xiu loves to make friends very much. With Fan Xiu's current dislike of the Eight Lord Party, he can naturally get a glimpse of his essence of deceiving the world and stealing fame.Just throw it away like a bag.

How can someone who is on good terms with Fan Xiu be willing to be wooed by the Baye Party?
The eighth master Yinhu steals chickens but loses a lot of rice, and he is really sour.

Zhang Tingyu later told Gu Huaishu that he really loved Ba Ye.

Gu Huaishu immediately squinted at him, smiled and said nothing.

It's really distressing. After a test, almost all of my original advantages have been turned into disadvantages. Ba Ye is too hardworking.

Now the court is calmer than ever. Zhang Tingyu continued to walk in front of the "unnamed" Nanshufang after the examination, and his rank was lowered back, which made the ministers of the court dumbfounded.

Only now did everyone understand that the emperor worked very hard to save Zhang Tingyu's face.

It was already the end of July when the imperial examinations were completely over and the Jinshi who had packed up the new subjects.

The emperor went to Changchun Garden early to escape the summer heat, and Zhang Tingyu also went to deal with government affairs, but when he came back, he always discussed a problem with Gu Huaishu: what about the fat man's name?
Now everyone calls him Fat Brother Xiaopang. Seeing that the boy is eight or nine years old, he should have a big name and start to enter a school.

Recently, the little fat man's self-esteem has been severely frustrated, and he went out to play with his friends, who were all studying, and he was getting older, so he couldn't find other playmates.

At this moment, a child of his age has already gnawed on a book.

After learning from the pain, one day, Fatty didn't know where it was from his father, but he brought a book directly, looked at Gu Huaishu seriously, and said, "Mother, Fatty wants to read."

"..."

Then, the whole room looked at him silently.

After a long time, Gu Huaishu raised his hand to press the corner of his mouth, and seemed to press it for a while before he said: "I really want to go to a private school, but I'm an older child. I want to be like your father in the future, and I will study and write for the rest of my life." ..."

"Fatty is not afraid!"

The little fat man was afraid that his mother would not agree, so he said it decisively, and then wrapped around Gu Huaixiu's sleeve as if he had no bones: "Mother... just let me study..."

"Read, read, read! Don't beg me for mercy and complain when you come back. If you let me hear it, your father will beat you with a ruler!"

The most fearful thing about doing things is lack of perseverance, so Gu Huaishu can talk to him first.

So the little fat man cheered, threw the book towards the sky, raised his hands and jumped.

Then Gu Huaishu saw the boy's white and fat belly, shaking and shaking with the little fat boy under the vest...

She hid her face helplessly, although she saw that the little fat man was much thinner than at the beginning of the year, but compared with other children, he was still very...

Fat!

Speaking of which, it's time to change the name.

I still have to think about which gentleman to ask for enlightenment...

When Zhang Tingyu came back today, he couldn't get rid of his dryness even with a fan.

Just sitting down, I heard Gu Huaishou talk about the little fat man going to study, so he said: "That's exactly what I mean, it's going to be 47 years, and next year the emperor will go on a southern tour... I'm guessing, close It's not time to go online..."

"It's still talking about the little fat man, why did you let it go to that annoying Shen Qi?"

Gu Huaixiu frowned.

Zhang Tingyu said: "Didn't you receive the news that that person has already transported the salt out of the artesian well? Smuggling salt along the Yangtze River is very skillful... This year's smuggling between the Zhejiang Salt District and the Lianghuai Salt District There is more salt circulation, and there are piles of booklets in the South Study Room every day, but I think the emperor doesn't seem to care much. You know that the Jiangning weaving Cao's house is now the emperor's eyeliner. What does the emperor think about the private salt? Yes, we will have to wait for the Jiangning weaving mansion on the southern tour next year to pick him up, and then we will know."

Before knowing what the emperor was thinking, Shen Qi could not move.

His big net has been cast down for a long time, and he only keeps the fry in the net. When the fish is big, he can easily catch the fish in the net.

And Shen Qi was the fish in Zhang Tingyu's net.

It's just that the real fisherman is not Zhang Tingyu, but the emperor.Zhang Tingyu was just the one who cast the net back then. Now he has to stand behind the fisherman to guess what the fisherman is thinking, and then tell the fisherman at a time that is most beneficial to him that this net will definitely catch big fish.

The problem is that timing is hard to grasp.

However, why does Shen Qi have a little fat man?
There is no rush for this kind of thing.

Zhang Tingyu said: "I thought about a few words a while ago, let the little fat man choose by himself. On the day of the little fat man's enlightenment, I will spread invitations and invite friends to come, and the little fat man can choose the name on that day. I want to come. , Fat Brother won’t be called for long..."

It really won't be long...

because……

cough.

Recently, Gu Huaixiu is talking about Qiao Miaoniang coming in. She is Zhang Tinglu's successor, but Zhang Tinglu wants to give her all the courtesy that a regular wife should have.

It was rare for the whole mansion to have such a happy event. Along with Zhang Tingyu's promotion, his official career was prosperous, and his court went smoothly, things in the mansion seemed to start to improve.

After Peng Weixin's incident, there was no further movement of the Peng family.

There are four of them living on the left and right, but Zhang Tingyu knows how warm and cold he is like drinking water.

Gu Huaixiu only knew that there were two more concubines on the other side of the fourth room. After Peng made a big fuss, nothing happened.

His son was going to marry Xu Xian, but Zhang Ying was too old, so he simply threw back his silk screen from back then, and used it for their ceremonies.

After Zhang Tinglu's reunion this year, she will leave the capital with her fourth brother and go back to Tongcheng. While accompanying the two elders, she will prepare for the imperial examination at the same time, just like Zhang Tingyu back then.They came out of Tongcheng and headed for the capital, but when they became famous, they must also come out of the gate of the Zhang Mansion in Tongcheng.

Zhang Tinglu continued her strings in early July, and Fatty started at the end of July.

After Qiao Miaoniang entered the door, she was quiet and harmonious with Zhang Tinglu.

She didn't know before that the Zhang family turned out to be such a wealthy family, so she inevitably panicked for a few days.

However, seeing that the rules of the Zhang Mansion are still strict, leaving aside the attitude of the maids below, Zhang Tinglu treated her very well, and gradually stabilized.

She occasionally went to see Gu Huaishu, but because of her poor eyesight, she didn't go out often.

Qiao Miaoniang's younger brother, Qiao Zheng, and younger sister, Qiao Wanniang, also lived in Zhang's residence. Fortunately, the younger brother is sensible, and although the younger sister is very curious about the Zhang's residence, she dare not be troublesome.

Gu Huaishu sent a few reliable people to take care of the daily life of his brothers and sisters, just in case something went wrong.

At any rate, the days passed by without a hitch, and the end of the month was approaching in a blink of an eye.

July [-]th is a good day.

Zhang Tingyu originally only wanted to invite friends he knew, such as Nian Gengyao, who he knew in the same discipline in 39 years of Kangxi, Li Guangdi, who had always promoted him in the officialdom, and several others who were on duty in the South Study Room. Hanlin didn't want to invite anyone else, but all relatives and friends came.

It's just that the Zhang family is a scholarly family after all, and the child is going to be enlightened. The news spreads from ten to ten, and those people in the streets and alleys who have been taken care of by the little fat man all come to hear the news and hand over their own inexpensive congratulatory gifts. Watching the little fat guy grow up bouncing around, I also want to come and see the fat guy Kai Meng.

These people are well-intentioned, no matter what, they are all looking after fat guys on the same street, selling sugar, pouring sugar paintings, making dough, selling pastries...

It really had everything that one could expect. Seeing so many people, Zhang Tingyu simply asked someone to set up a banquet.

Seeing so many people inside, Gu Huaishu couldn't help but smile from ear to ear, and said repeatedly: "The fat guy is much more popular than his father..."

But soon, Gu Huaishu will take back those words.

Who made Zhang Tingyu accept many students this year?

Among these people, fifty were admitted to the Hanlin Academy, there were more than two hundred people who were not admitted to the Hanlin Academy, and seventy to eighty people were in Beijing. I didn't receive Zhang Tingyu's invitation today, and I felt that it was presumptuous for me to come here.

But after hearing that all the sugar sellers in the streets and alleys have gone, how can they, Mr. Zhang's disciples, not go?
So the most appalling thing in the entire capital finally happened.

No child from Kaimeng has ever had such a grand event. There are three champions alone. From the champion in the 39th year of Kangxi to the champion in the 45th year of Kangxi, all three of them went.

Nearly a hundred old gentlemen from the Hanlin Academy came, and more than a hundred Jinshi came.

As for Gongsheng?

Hehe, Mr. Zhang's son, Kaimeng, is only a Gongsheng student who has participated in the examination, so he has the nerve to come? !
Not to mention entering the door, but when handing over the name card, you are afraid that you will feel ashamed and flustered, right?
People in the streets and alleys, when they heard the posters at the gate of the mansion, their voices never stopped: "So-and-so Hanlin", "Jinshi so-and-so public", "So-and-so No. [-] scholar"...

All of them were famous figures in those days!
The enlightenment of a mere stinky boy actually attracted such a big battle!
Usually, when a Hanlin from the Hanlin Academy is brought to the street, there are countless people bowing to each other.An old man from the Hanlin Academy traveled with his own big name cards, and he didn't need to bring any money. Naturally, countless arty merchants handed over the money, in order to exchange name cards with the Hanlins of the Imperial Academy.But in fact, the Imperial Academy dismissed these people.

It can be seen from this that a Hanlin may not be considered anything in the Hanlin Academy, but if it is placed in the imperial court, it already has a certain influence. As for the public, all of them will cause a sensation!

But what's the situation now?
The Hanlin people rushed towards Zhang's mansion as if they didn't want money, and the high-ranking Jinshi almost bowed their heads when they saw the people around them.

Li Guangdi, an important minister in the court, has already arrived, who dares to slack off?
Zhang Tingyu, who is even more talented, sat in the hall, and on the left and right sides sat a number one scholar drinking tea. The three number one scholars gathered together, and the second place Tanhua on the side seemed to be overshadowed.

Seeing this, Qian Mingshi from the Qian's mansion next door couldn't help but think of his family Lang Geer's enlightenment, it was nothing compared to the Zhang's mansion!
Ordinarily, a family with a good family background is very good if they can find a candidate to enlighten their enlightenment. If they can find a Jinshi to enlighten their enlightenment, they are really proud of themselves.

But now, not to mention juren, Gongsheng couldn't enter Zhang's house, and it wasn't Zhang Tingyu who didn't want them to enter, but they didn't want to enter.

Why do you ask?

Isn't it too embarrassing?
The lowest ones are all Jinshi, the higher ones are Hanlin, and the top three in Dingjia are almost full, as well as honorable families and important officials in the court.

Mr. Zhang would definitely not say anything if a mere person went in, and it would be difficult for others to say.

What is a Gongsheng?
It just makes people laugh out loud.

During such a lively opening ceremony, Zhang Tingyu, as the head of the family, first worshiped the ancestral hall, and wrote Zhang Yingyuan's belief from Tongcheng to Fat Brother, admonishing him to learn and improve in the future.

Today's fat guy finally lives up to expectations. He has lost a lot of weight in the past few months. He looks much stronger than ordinary children. He looks healthy and has bright eyes. Standing in the family school, he already looks like his father .

Literate servants brought book boxes, a copy of the Four Books, the Four Treasures of the Study, and other things, and brought Dingsheng Cake and a plate of rice dumplings, which are homophonic for "high school".

Zhang Tingyu was also dressed quite grandly today, wearing a thick dark blue robe, which weighed down his entire aura.

The three champions sat high in the hall, with Li Guangdi watching, and the fat brother knelt down to pay homage to his teacher.

Everyone was terrified at this time!

Mr. Zhang's family actually wants to worship the three champions as teachers!
Unprecedented and unprecedented!

I am afraid that Zhang Tingyu is the only one in the world who can invite so many people to enlighten his children, right?
In fact, Zhang Tingyu didn't invite them, these people came uninvited.

Originally, I heard that Fat Brother was going to open Meng today, and the emperor also said that he would come to see the excitement, but the capital is hot, and Kangxi is getting old, so it is better to stay in Changchun Garden, so I just asked Li Guangdi to go too.

Coincidentally, Li Guangdi was also coming today, so he came to support him.

Zhang Tingyu sat in the middle and received the child's apprenticeship ceremony.

At that moment, he thought of Zhang Ying in a trance.

When he was very young when he was enlightened, Zhang Ying sat on that chair and looked at him with a smile.

Today, Zhang Tingyu also looks at Fat Brother with a smile.

Next to him was Wu Shiyu, Song Luo's family teacher, who volunteered to be the ceremony teacher, and when he saw that the apprenticeship ceremony was over, he shouted: "The apprenticeship ceremony is over—"

The fat guy knelt on the ground and kowtowed, looking at his father, who was also his husband.

Now that so many people are watching, the fat guy is also sensible, maybe the child starts to leave the arms of the parents at this moment, let the wings harden, and fly away step by step from the young eagle...

Gu Huaixiu could be seen from behind, she covered her mouth with a veil, tears streaming down her face for some reason.

Zhang Tingyu said: "Because your parents were worried about your early age and illness, they didn't give you a name for eight years. Now you are studying at home and know a little about numbers. Today, according to the family's seniority, you choose a name for yourself, Ade, Bring up the roster."

"Yes."

Ade responded, and put the copybook filled with suitable words on the high table.

The fat guy got up again, and only reached the table, and lifted the pen skillfully. Although he didn't study at home, he still remembered his father's posture when writing.

Everyone thought that Fat Guy was late, but now, looking at the gesture of holding the pen, he knew——

It's just that it's too late.

The fat guy still held the pen with his fleshy hand, looked around, circled one of the characters, and put down the pen.

Ade stepped forward to read it, took up the copybook, and showed it to everyone.

Zhang Tingyu also saw it, and his heart was also complicated.

Starting today, his son will grow up.

Zhang Tingyu couldn't hold back, and suddenly raised his palm to look at it, and then remembered his hair...

"My son's surname is Zhang and his name is Ruoai. He is a second-year student. He entered the family at 45 in [-] years. He was named Ai by himself, and it was revealed to the public."

From then on, he was called Zhang Ruoai.

He bowed again to all the gentlemen in the hall: "Student Zhang Ruoai, hello to all gentlemen."
