In Qionglin Garden, Xie Yuan exchanged greetings with everyone and wanted to sit down in the corner again, but the second prince spoke again.

This time everyone heard that the second prince was deliberately trying to embarrass Xie Yuan. This time the scholars looked at Xie Yuan less eagerly than before.

Before entering the officialdom, he had offended a prince. Even if Xie Yuan was the top scholar, he would probably have no hope of promotion.

Faced with the second prince's difficulties, Xie Yuan looked as usual and calm, and he blocked the way with all his strength.

Mr. Shen Ge and Jiang Shangshu, who were sitting on the side, looked at this scene and looked at each other. Xie Yuan was really smart.

The eldest prince Song Cheng glanced at the deflated Song Min and stood up with the wine glass in a good mood.

"The Number One Scholar is truly a talented scholar. I'd like to toast you."

"Thank you, eldest prince."

Everyone looked at the two people standing together. Although Xie Yuan was disliked by the second prince, he seemed to have won the favor of the eldest prince. Well, we still have to wait and see whether he wants to make friends with him.

Next, everyone had different thoughts. While expressing themselves, they occasionally glanced at the small pavilion opposite, but they didn't eat much delicious food. This was an advantage for Sun Jing and Xie Yuan.

Sun Jing, in particular, had gained a lot of weight around his waist when he left. Thanks to Xie Yuan and Li Rui covering for him, no one noticed anything unusual.

Xie Yuan and Sun Jing separated and were about to go home when a servant came over and said, "Xie Zhuangyuan, please come over and talk to me."

Xie Yuan nodded, turned around and gave Zhou Bin a few words of advice before leaving with his servant. Xie Yuan was not surprised that Mr. Shen Ge would invite him, and he also guessed the reason why Mr. Shen Ge invited him.

In an elegant courtyard, Mr. Shen Ge looked at the people who walked in and said straight to the point: "With a policy article, you have caught the eye of the Holy Emperor. After a year of hard work in the Hanlin Academy, you can serve in the Sixth Department. "

Before getting married to his wife, Xie Yuan had planned this way. At that time, he had never thought about being an official, but it was different now.

"Thank you for your advice, but I don't plan to enter the sixth film for the time being."

Elder Shen Ge was somewhat surprised when he heard this.

"But your master has other plans for you?"

Xie Yuan nodded.

"where?"

"Yuanjiang Mansion." Xie Yuan did not hide anything from Mr. Shen Ge.

Mr. Shen Ge raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yuanjiang Mansion is rich and it is difficult to achieve political achievements. Why choose Yuanjiang Mansion?"

"Xianyun students are trying to hide it, and Mr. Ge will find out soon."

Hearing this, Mr. Shen Ge did not ask further questions, but changed the topic.

"You should keep a low profile at the beginning of your career, but once the opportunity comes, you must seize it as soon as possible, because some opportunities often only come once in this life."

Xie Yuan immediately saluted Mr. Shen Ge; "Student, thank you Mr. Ge for your guidance."

Mr. Shen Ge was implicitly reminding him that after entering the Hanlin Academy, he must be humble and low-key.

After all, he is this year's top pick and has been high-profile enough before. If he continues to be like this when he enters the Hanlin Academy, he will easily be disliked and ostracized by his colleagues.

But if the Holy One calls you, you must seize the opportunity. If you want to have a smooth career in the officialdom, you must be favored by the Holy One. Mr. Shen Ge's last words are a reminder to him to always be prepared.

Seeing that Xie Yuan understood things with just a few clicks, Mr. Shen Ge smiled while stroking his beard, thinking that no wonder his second brother would accept him as a closed disciple.

"It's very late, please go back!"

"Yes, students are resigning."

In Qingshi Hutong, in the study room, Jiang Mingyue was writing a letter to her parents. Suddenly, the courtyard door rang. She looked up and saw that Xie Yuan was back. She put down the brush for a while, stood up, and walked out while ordering: "Apple, I will sober up." Bring the soup."

Xie Yuan looked at his wife who was walking over, took out the food he had brought back from his arms, handed it to her and said, "I brought this specially for you, try it and see if you like it."

Jiang Mingyue did not expect that when he went to Qionglin Garden, he would not forget to bring her delicious food. If this was discovered by other Jinshi, they would inevitably be criticized.

"Thank you, sir!" Jiang Mingyue was extremely moved.

Xie Yuan took the hangover soup handed over by Apple and drank it: "There is wine on my clothes. I will take a bath and change my clothes first, and I will come back to accompany you and the child later."

Jiang Mingyue said 'hmm'.

"Do you need my help?"

"No, the alcohol is a bit heavy, don't let it get to you."

Jiang Mingyue watched the man enter the backyard and enter the study with food. She opened the oil paper bag and smiled at the pastries inside.

She picked up a piece of cake and continued to write letters while eating. However, she also told her parents about Xie Yuan's visit to Qionglin Garden to bring her food.

After a while, Xie Yuan came to the study and asked, "What are you writing?"

"I'm writing a letter to my parents, telling them about your high school experience and making them happy."

"Send hello to my father-in-law and mother-in-law for me."

"it is good!"

Jiang Mingyue wrote the last few words, put down the brush, reached out and hugged the man, and said in a soft voice: "The pastries are delicious!"

Xie Yuan gently touched his wife's black hair.

"As long as you like it."

"Nothing happened in Qionglin Garden today, right?"

In Xie Yuan's opinion, the fact that the second prince made things difficult for him was not a big deal, so there was no need to tell his wife. He picked some interesting things and told them to his wife.

In the palace, Song Ming finished giving instructions on all the memorials, took a sip of tea and opened his mouth.

"Tell me about Qionglin Garden."

Ryan came out of the darkness and spoke without any emotion.

The next day, Xie Yuan led the new Jinshi into the court to express gratitude. The moment he walked out of the palace, he breathed a sigh of relief and could finally rest for a while.

The day after he entered the palace to express his gratitude, the Ministry of Rites planned a family leave. Because Xie Yuan was from Wanping County, his home leave was thirty days. And because he was the number one scholar in the new subject, he was given the rank of sixth-rank official in Hanlin Compilation and Compilation. The important thing was His daily job is to compile the history of the country and record the words and deeds of the emperor.

On the fourth day, when the Jinshi plaque was delivered to Qingshi Hutong by officials from the Ministry of Rites, there was finally news from the Yang family and the merchant's in-laws. After Xie Yuan received the news, he told his wife as soon as possible.

Jiang Mingyue was shocked when she heard this.

"Did they take action?"

She had been a little anxious waiting these past few days.

Xie Yuan took a sip of tea and said: "These two families are quite smart and have good timing."

"How do you say that?" Jiang Mingyue asked puzzledly.

"Zhang Zhongyue's memorial arrived at the Ministry of War ten days ago, but because of the palace examination, the people from the Ministry of War did not submit it to the Holy Majesty. It was not until three days ago that under the operation of the eldest prince, his memorial was sent to the Holy Majesty.

After the Holy Spirit read the memorial, he gave it directly to the Ministry of Revenue and asked them to discuss and decide how much food and grass to give.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs have been fighting every day for the past two days. Now the civil and military officials of the entire court are paying attention to this matter. If the in-laws of the Yang family and the merchant choose to submit a letter at this time, they will inevitably arouse the attention of the princes in the court immediately. Pay attention to. "
