Chapter 1037 Zhao Yunrang

"Senior brother! Senior brother! Won the first prize! Won the first prize!"

But the fat Ouyang Fa nimbly jumped into the house from the door, and then saw Fan Chunren and Feng Jing drinking tea together in the study, and then said, "The two brothers are also on the list, and they are the third brother in the world." Second, brother Yao Fu, congratulations!"

"I just said that the young master will definitely become a Jinshi and become an official." Xiao Dongliang did not rush to announce the good news to Ouyang Fa. He was two steps behind and leaned against the door, grinning sillyly.

Sheng Changbai didn't speak, but his speed was not slow. He was already writing on the desk.

Seeing Fan Chunren stretching his neck to look over, he smiled and said, "I want to write a letter home and tell my father and eldest sister that my brother-in-law will try to win the first prize, so that they can feel at ease."

"Oh, yes, yes, I also want to write a letter to my father. He will definitely be happy." Ouyang Fa nodded repeatedly and leaned over.

Seeing the two boys' irritable looks, several people shook their heads. Fan Chunren cupped his hands towards Wang Yan and Feng Jing: "Zi Yan, I am congratulations."

"Same joy." Feng Jing smiled happily, "Zi Yan is still very good. He will be nineteen years old in a few months. He has already won the Jinshi. I am afraid he is the youngest Jinshi in my country. "

"Going the long way is the right thing to do." Wang Yan said with a smile, "Dongliang, go get the kitchen ready. I'll have some food and drink. The stone in my heart dropped to the ground. I have to celebrate."

"Yes, Master." Xiao Dongliang responded, turned around and ran away.

Wang Yan also went to the table and started writing a letter. He also wanted to write to Sheng Hong, Sheng Hualan and Ouyang Xiu. In addition, he also wanted to tell Wang Fuli at home and some scholars in Yangzhou City to show their closeness to everyone.

Yangzhou is his basic base and must be maintained in all aspects. In the past, he relied on his talent and reputation, but now he has become a serious official and has a backer. He still has a great influence on the local ecology of Yangzhou, and his opinions must be consulted.

Of course, the letter was simple, just announcing the good news, saying hello, and talking about getting engaged when I got home, and everyone came to support me. It's almost like leaving a message for others. After all, after all this time, scholars and dignitaries from Liao, Xixia, and Dali all knew that Wang Yan's calligraphy was good. They also knew how expensive his calligraphy was, and many people even bought it at high prices. It's just that there is no market for it, and no one is selling it.

Unlike the letters to these local representatives, the letter to the Sheng family said much more. What I told Sheng Hong was to let him arrange the marriage, and they would get married after passing the imperial examination and returning home. What he said to Hua Lan was nothing shameful, and the conversation was very good.

As for Ouyang Xiu, he talked about the test results, and then said a lot of words of thanks and not forgetting the teacher's teachings.

Seeing Wang Yan writing vigorously, Fan Chunren and Feng Jing also came back from their joy. They also took paper and pen, found a place to start writing letters to their families, and wrote several letters at once, with the same fluency in writing. Revealing a happy mood.

The two of them are not as stable as they appear, and their little hearts are already pounding.

The palace examination determines the final ranking, and the destination is determined based on the ranking. After passing the general examination, they are already Jinshi. The moment the list is announced, they have already become an official.

They have been practicing calligraphy since childhood and studying the books of saints and sages. Let’s not talk about what kind of official you are. This is proof that you will succeed after studying for many years.

While everyone was writing letters in the study, the housekeeper walked in: "Uncle, several family members have come to post and invite me to a banquet in the evening. There are..."

"Tell them that they have to prepare for the palace examination in the near future and don't have time." Wang Yan said without raising his head.

"But they are..."

Sheng Changbai said: "Uncle Liu, go and send the message. Brother-in-law will make his own decision."

Seeing that Wang Yan was about to raise his head, the manager quickly cupped his hands and turned around to leave.

We have been together for a long time, and the manager has actually understood Wang Yan's style, so he is also sensible and doesn't talk nonsense at ordinary times, and he does whatever he is told. It's just that this time the people who came to invite them all belonged to wealthy and distinguished families, so he said one more thing. But obviously, he was worried a little too much. Wang Yan didn't care about dignitaries.

Feng Jing said: "Brother Ziyan, the person invited this time must be a dignitary in the capital. Are you really not going to the banquet?"

"Of course you won't go. You just want to get married with me. You may also want to find the fragrance formula and manufacturing method of my perfume shop. You also want to look like you have helped me a lot. It doesn't make sense to ask me to sacrifice my life in return. It’s really boring, isn’t it, Changbai?”

"Yes, yes, what my brother-in-law said makes the most sense." Sheng Changbai nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

He came here to guard Wang Yan with his biological father's mission. It's already here, nothing can go wrong.

Wang Yan smiled and said, "My two brothers, Yao and Fu, are also close at this time. They are expected to arrive soon."

"Let's wait until after the palace examination." Feng Jing said with a smile.

He didn't have any objection to this. After all, he didn't have Ouyang Xiu as his teacher like Wang Yan and had a lot of connections. His wife died of illness a few years ago and is single. If I can have a daughter-in-law who can help, of course there's nothing wrong with that.

Fan Chunren didn't say anything because he was already married but didn't have any children yet...

Ouyang Fa smiled and winked at Chang Bai: "Now your Sheng family has made a lot of money, and my senior brother has a bright future."

"I think you just have an itchy skin and need to take care of it. My father-in-law is generous and doesn't care about my recklessness in stopping Hua Lan in the street. He is even willing to marry the eldest daughter of the family to me when I am still penniless. "

"Senior brother is right. Uncle Sheng's family is magnanimous and visionary. He is not like ordinary people who flatter others and scorn others. He is a good person." Ouyang Fa nodded obediently.

"Write it to you." Wang Yan nodded with satisfaction.

Ouyang Fa curled his lips and continued writing letters home...

As expected by Wang Yan, the housekeeper left shortly before returning, saying that someone had sent a message inviting Fan Chunren and Feng Jing to a banquet that evening. They all excused themselves by preparing for the imperial examination.

The reason for the long-term prosperity of wealthy families lies in all-round control. Officials protect each other, collusion between officials and businessmen, and the wooing of talented players with humble backgrounds like Wang Yan and Feng Jing continue to strengthen the community of interests.

They are all Jinshi and officials. Sheng Hong worked for ten years before becoming a general judge. If someone helps to run it, even if he is not the top pick or third overall pick, or even if his starting point is not as high as Sheng Hong's, four or five or six years can still be enough to make a leap in promotion, which is much better than Sheng Hong's general judgment. More importantly, it takes less time and leaves a lot of time for follow-up efforts, which is precious political life.

When it comes to selecting the right people for promotion, there is a gap of three or four years, which is almost the tenure of one position, which is really a huge gap.

Of course, age is only one of the relatively important factors to consider, but other work experience, achievements, background, etc. are not included in the discussion.

It is precisely because of such control that many families are rich and prosperous. As long as they are not suppressed by other important people or have their whole family killed by farmers because of drastic changes in the social environment, it can almost be passed down for a few years...

Relatively speaking, the Song Dynasty was actually pretty good. Because of the boom in culture and education, the cost of studying has been reduced a lot, which to a certain extent has opened up access to the upper class. Even if there are not many real farmers, there is always a chance to make a comeback. After all, even if you are just a bookkeeper, you have already crossed a class.

Of course, generally speaking, no one should laugh at anyone in the ancient dynasties, they were all the same...

Faced with the posts that flew in like snowflakes, Wang Yan and the three of them rejected all of them. They just went to Lao Bao's house for a meal and listened to the instructions. Then he went to the Ministry of Rites to go through the palace examination procedures, and he could prepare for the examination at home with peace of mind.

For Wang Yan, this is the time to show his poise. He should be high-profile when he should be high-profile, and low-key when he should be low-key. After all, he has already pretended to be cool enough.

There were at least 20,000 scholars in the capital and those who came to the capital to take the exam. He preached to at least 5,000 of them. Another 5,000 people had seen him, and the remaining 10,000 people knew his name like thunder. And "Wang Yanshuo", which he wrote and printed by himself, sold more than 13,000 copies in that Sanwei bookstore. The remaining pirated books are countless. In short, I have seen everything that needs to be seen, and it has begun to spread to other areas. Not to mention what happened at Fan Lou that day, not to mention the masterpieces he published in the past six months, as well as his unparalleled calligraphy reputation. He won two yuan in the state and provincial examinations, making him the leader of this generation of scholars.

Now that you have determined that you want to be an official, you must be steady, so that people can feel at ease. Let people understand that he is not a hot-blooded young man with a twitchy brain, but a wise and outstanding figure of the generation.

Of course, he doesn't really stay at home. Occasionally he still goes out to eat in small shops in Bianjing, because there is really delicious food...

Unfortunately, on this day, he was in a restaurant that made delicious roast chicken. He brought Sheng Changbai, Ouyang Fa and Xiao Dongliang. Each of the four of them had a chicken. While they were hugging and gnawing around the table, one of them had gray hair. When it came to the beard, it was a bit rich, but it was not difficult to see that the strong old man walked to their table with his hands behind his back.

"cough~"

The old boy coughed.

Looking at the three and a half boys who looked over dissatisfied, the old boy smiled and just looked at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan shook his head and didn't let the three children move. He took the chicken and sat down at the other table.

This store is not low-end, and he came in the morning, a time when scholars did not go out on the streets. For other wealthy families, their servants would go out to buy whatever they wanted to eat. There were not many nobles at this time.

This old boy is dressed luxuriously and has a graceful manner. It seems that he has a background, which gives him some face. In ancient times, it was a basic understanding that old men with backgrounds should not be offended.

"Master, please sit down."

Seeing the old boy sitting down, Wang Yan asked politely, "I wonder why I'm looking for Wang Yan?"

"You have such a big face that you let me come to find you?" The old boy sat with a straight face. He snorted and said, "I just wanted to eat chicken today, and we just met here by chance."

"Dare you ask me your father-in-law's name?"

"I'm Zhao Yunrang."

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows, with a look of realization on his face. He stood up and saluted as if in fear: "It turns out that the Prince of Runan is in front of him. The student was disrespectful for no reason. The Prince must not blame him. Waiter, two more chickens and a pot of wine." ”

Zhao Yunrang is the next generation emperor, the biological father of Yingzong Zhao Shu. He was named the king of Runan County, worshiped Tongping Zhangshi, and was judged to be the chief minister of the great clan. He was the chief elder of the royal family. When Zhao Shu was young, he was adopted to Renzong. Later, when he had a son, Zhao Shu was sent back, but the name remained the same. Later, Renzong's biological son died, and Zhao Shu's importance was once again reflected.

Therefore, Zhao Yunrang's status was somewhat different. He did not have much power, but except for Renzong and several ministers in the capital, no one was easy to use. But fortunately, the old boy is relatively honest. He just spends money, sleeps in the concubine at home, and has a son, without causing any trouble. Maybe he is also angry with Renzong...

"Sit down."

Wang Yan cupped his hands, but didn't look outside. He broke off the chicken legs and took a bite. He asked curiously: "The prince seems to have some opinions on the student? But the student thought about coming to Beijing and has never interacted with the prince. But I don’t know where the student offended the prince?”

The old boy snorted coldly again: "You asked me to give you a hundred thousand yuan to go out. How do you think you offended me?"

Wang Yan had a sudden realization on his face again: "I never thought that Fan Tower was actually owned by the prince. The student would like to thank the prince for making it possible. Firstly, he made the student the best calligrapher in the world, and secondly, he showed pity for the children in the orphanage and gained something." To live, have food, and learn. To show your sincerity, after the palace examination, the student will write a poem to thank the prince. The student has some talent and will be remembered forever. "

"How dare you make fun of me?"

"How dare students, the prince is really righteous. The prince should know that Bao Zheng, the deputy envoy of the household department of the third division, has a good relationship with our teacher. Mr. Bao saw the matter of the orphanage and explained it to the students. If not Prince, if 5,000 guans out of 100,000 guans fall on the heads of those children, it is considered that the relevant personnel have a conscience."

Wang Yan did not lie. Although it was not suitable to start work in winter, the children in the orphanage all wore thick clothes. Of course they did not have enough to eat, but they were never hungry. There were also masters who enlightened men and women. Male workers and female workers taught Children do crafts, such as carpentry, arithmetic, and embroidery, which are all practical skills.

He had never cared about who was the boss behind Fan Lou before, but now that he saw Zhao Yunrang, he felt that it was reasonable. No one dared to touch this old boy's money. It would be good if he didn't steal other people's money.

"Okay, stop hating me. I thought you were a down-to-earth guy, but I didn't expect you to be so naughty."

"When a student takes over the family business before he is fourteen years old, he has no one to rely on. If he hadn't been naughty, he would have died long ago."

Zhao Yunrang nodded seriously: "You can achieve great things."

"I would like to borrow the prince's good words."

Suddenly, the old boy leaned closer and said, "You know that I am surrounded by spies, right? Aren't you afraid of delaying your future?"

"The student is not an official yet. Even if he is an official, he is just a minor official. The matter of reserve position has nothing to do with the students. Moreover, today's officials are broad-minded, and if the students have a small talent and reputation, the officials will definitely not bother to embarrass the students. "

At this time, the waiter in the shop came to serve wine and meat. Zhao Yunrang, just like Wang Yan, hugged the whole thing and took a bite: "You are a good eater. You can find it here. There are many people in Beijing who don't know." This is where it is.”

"I think the capital is too big and people move in an orderly manner, so it is difficult to know where it is. As long as I ask around, I can always find it. The sergeant in the capital told me about this place."

Wang Yan thought for a while and said, "Speaking of how to eat, the student figured out stir-fry dishes and some seasonings at home last year, and the taste is three points better than Fan Lou. The prince can send a chef to the Shengjia residence where I live, If you learn the method, the price of food in Fanlou will rise again, and the prince will invest more money to take care of the children in the orphanage. "

"I have been famous for your perfume shop for a long time. I knew it before it opened in Beijing. It costs hundreds or even thousands of coins at every turn, and ladies flock to it. I think you have made a lot of money. Why don't you waste money and make me spend money?" "

“Students’ money is put to good use.”

……

Looking at the smiling Wang Yan, Zhao Yunrang wanted to tear this guy's mouth off. What kind of nonsense did he say that his money would be useless?
"Aren't you afraid that I will cause trouble for you?"

"The prince is not a villain, and the money is not spent by the students, let alone the students. How can the prince blame me?" Wang Yan shook his head with a smile and raised his glass, "The students respect the prince and say It is admirable to do what is right and save money.”

Zhao Yunrang knew that Wang Yan was giving him a high hat, but he quite liked it. And it should be said that his money is really useless. It is just for the family's extravagance. It is better to spend it on those children and buy a good reputation. Of course, if he is allowed to eat bran by himself, he will definitely not do it. He will eat meat.

After communicating for a few words and understanding that Zhao Yunrang was really fine, Wang Yan started chatting randomly with the old boy.

We talked about literature, military affairs, and even business. Wang Yan spoke very restrainedly, but it also allowed Zhao Yunrang to see his level.

What he talked to Zhao Yunrang the most was to encourage the old boy to do more good deeds. He also talked about the relationship between various industries, trade, and the country. To sum up, it is some theories of production relations and productivity. The purpose is to let people like this who have money, time and strength invest money in research and bring some different changes to the Song Dynasty.

After all, this old boy can still live for many years. If you spend a lot of money, you can always get something out of it. It would be better if Wang Yan encouraged him to have the idea of ​​exploring the world. After all, going to sea is necessary, and sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. are all he needs to get. Without these crops, people would not be able to live well.

As for whether Zhao Yunrang really met by chance or was a fake chance encounter, he wanted to see in person how good he was, Wang, and to find a teammate for Zhao Shu. Or maybe he was really interested and just wanted to meet him. These Wang Yan are indifferent.

Just like he said, it's not his place to get involved in the Crown Prince's affairs, it really has nothing to do with him. Even if he enters the central government one day, as long as it does not delay his reforms, the emperor can do anything. He is confident in this, after all, Wang Da's deception skills are very strong...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
