Every time I wear a book, I am forced to turn around

Yan Jinyun quickly replied to Sun Er's letter, the main idea of ​​the letter was: Disciple, your filial piety is appreciated by Master.If you come across a suitable opportunity, of course you can help clarify one or two things for the teacher.But this is not mandatory.We behave in an upright manner, and there is no need to pay attention to the rumors of the outside world in many cases, as long as we have a clear conscience.By the way, last time the teacher sent a boy to teach you how to read and write. How are you doing with him?The teacher will check your homework.

He also used an allusion in this letter.

Sun Er couldn't understand, so he had to ask Geng Rong for help.Presumably this was also in Yan Jinyun's calculations.Geng Rong knew more about the world than Sun Er, and explained: "We all know that your master is capable. It's a bit superficial to talk about his appearance outside. When you clear up the rumors for your master, just emphasize that he has strength." , don't talk about appearances."

Geng Rong also gave Sun Er an example: "If someone tells you, I heard that my master has a beautiful appearance, it really makes someone fascinated. You can say, no, in fact, what really fascinates me about my master is his craftsmanship, and It's not his appearance, but you are underestimating the master's appearance. It can also be said that as a disciple, how can I criticize the master's appearance? If I have to say it, the master's facial features are correct. Yes. But you can’t say, you’re wrong, my master is strong and dark. This is too much, you know? You can’t say that your master is ugly.”

Sun Er retorted: "My master is not black, he is whiter than me! He is not strong, anyway, he is not as strong as me!"

Geng Rong couldn't laugh or cry: "How can I compare with you. How is your master better than the four beauties in the capital? Are you darker than them? Stronger than them? Wait, I just said so much, this is not the point. The point is that you know how to speak in the future Yet?"

"Understood." Sun Er replied honestly, and then retorted again, "My master is not ugly. I mean, they praised my master as stunning, which is wrong. But my master also has facial features Correct."

"That's right! I want you to behave like this, keep it up. Just explain it to the outside world." Geng Rong said.

As far as Sun Er's kindness is concerned, it's exactly what Yan Jinyun needs.Yan Jinyun smiled and said to Wu Shen: "We know exactly what we look like. Sun Er is my apprentice. In this era when apprentices must never disobey the master, whatever he said to the outside world can represent what I mean. So, when Sun Er helped me clear up the rumors, he said that I was actually not that good-looking and definitely not a beauty, and outsiders would think that this was what I wanted to say.”

Even if Yan Jinyun's ultimate mission is to become the most beautiful woman in the world, this must not come out of his own mouth.He can't see outsiders all his life, can he?If he had personally said that he was extremely beautiful, after being seen by his admirers, he might face backlash.You look at the stars who used water armies to hype in later generations, of course they can create a persona, but as long as they set up a persona, they must ensure that the persona never collapses, otherwise they will suffer great backlash.

However, if Yan Jinyun's first beauty was imagined by others, his apprentice kept telling the truth when countless literati imagined him as the most beautiful beauty of all time.Ah, what you all said is too exaggerated. My master only has good facial features. He is definitely not a beauty. His cooking skills are truly commendable.

So, those who have never met Yan Jinyun will think so:

Mr. Gongliang is not only beautiful in appearance, but also very noble in character. He is such a humble person!

And those who have seen Yan Jinyun's true face will think so:

It turns out that Mr. Gongliang looks like this... Didn't he say that he is the most beautiful in the world? This is too disappointing to me.Wait, it seems that Mr. Gongliang has never said that he is beautiful, everything is my own imagination.Mr. Gongliang is such an honest person, I should not blame him, everything is my fault, I am sorry Mr. Gongliang!

Yan Jinyun is very clear that such methods will not work in the entertainment circle of later generations.In the information society, everyone is not a fool.If he does so, he will be labeled as "standing again and again", and will be ridiculed as a white lotus.But in this era, many literati demand themselves with the character of a gentleman, and his method seems very applicable.

The most wonderful thing is that as long as Yan Jinyun’s conduct does not make a big mistake, the literati at this time, they will use poems to praise a beautiful woman for her beauty, but they will not use poems to satirize a good conduct. people are not good-looking.

Because it is not the way of a gentleman to talk and talk!

If Yan Jinyun pretends to be pitiful again, pretending to be helpless, I also know what kind of reputation I have spread outside, but this is not my intention, I have been very distressed.Needless to say, he could receive a wave of sympathy in turn.

In this way, those who have never seen his true face will always think he is beautiful anyway, and those who have seen his true face will also be impressed by his character, and Yan Jinyun will hardly be backlashed.Even if there are one or two uncontrollable people who must go to the public and shout that in fact, Chef Gongliang is not good-looking at all, I'm afraid it will be regarded as jealousy.

Yan Jinyun will be invincible forever.

"That's right, your apprentice is really well received." Wu Shen nodded in agreement.

"But it's not enough... It's not safe enough. I have to do something more. I have to make sure that everyone will always regard me as a truly innocent white lotus. But there is no rush." ​​Yan Jinyun still smiled "Sun Er is a good apprentice. When I accepted him, I just wanted to repay the Sun family. They are all Gongliang Xiangrong's benefactors. But now it seems that accepting this apprentice is really worthy of the name." It was a wonderful move."

Wu Shen followed with a smile: "You are just too soft-hearted. I don't know what other taskers would do in your situation. But I guess, most of them must give money directly, A 100 taels is definitely enough to repay your kindness. Or if you have a better heart and consider more carefully, you will buy a yard and a few acres of land for the Sun family. Only you, who are not afraid of trouble at all, are willing to accept Sun Er as an apprentice, not only Polish him carefully, and arrange everything for him."

"Don't say that. I also accepted him because I couldn't taste the special effects." Yan Jinyun said hastily.

Wu Shen shook his head: "Isn't it easy to buy a servant to try special effects? You admit it, you just want to help the Sun family. If Sun Er masters a craft, the craft can be passed on from family to family. Even if the Sun family is completely up."

The reason why it is said that accepting Sun Er is rewarding is of course not because of Sun Er's "two", but because Yan Jinyun has already guessed Tang Ge's next plan.This coincides with Yan Jinyun's plan after Sun Er started cooking.When Geng Rong was successfully admitted to Juren with the help of their master and apprentice, Yan Jinyun thought about pushing Sun Er to the literati imperial examination circle.

Sure enough, in the new year, after Geng Rong sang triumphant songs all the way in Chunwei, first won the tribute, and then won the second place, and then was awarded the seventh-rank official position of the Imperial Academy, his past experience quickly spread among scholars. The media spread.

Naturally, there is nothing to doubt about Geng Rong's grades. Just think about who his father is, and look at his senior brothers. The imperial examination system in this dynasty is extremely strict, and you will know that he got the national No. 2 grades.

However, for such a national No.2, he was stuck for many years when he took the exam for a scholar!

"It is said that Geng Bangyan always had difficulty falling asleep for a month before the exam for some reason. Think about it, if he couldn't sleep well for a month, how would he be in a good state when the exam came? He wasted a lot because of this. Year."

"Why can't I sleep well? Could it be that I was cursed by the villain? Or is it that Geng Rong is in poor health?" So Geng Rong has successfully won the second place now, is it because the Geng family invited a powerful Taoist priest to break the curse, or invited a powerful Taoist to break the curse? The doctor got sick for Geng Rong?

"That's not clear. However, since the Geng family hired a chef, Geng Bang has eaten and slept soundly..." The man spoke with eloquence, as if he squatted under the Geng family's dining table every day Watching, lying under Geng Rong's bed watching.

Everyone suddenly realized that it turned out that the chef was invited to help, no wonder Geng Bang became second.

This chef is none other than Mr. Gongliang's apprentice!

In fact, the heat caused by Mr. Gongliang in Beijing has gradually calmed down in the past few months. After all, Mr. Gongliang lives in Huangzhuang all the year round and does not show up.But the longing in everyone's heart is still there. Who among those who claim to be talented would not want to taste the craftsmanship of Mr. Gongliang?Now, the chef who single-handedly promoted Geng Rong to the second place is actually Mr. Gong Liang's apprentice. As soon as the news comes out, scholars will go crazy again.

Originally, when some Juren who failed in the rankings in Chunwei heard about this, they couldn't help thinking sourly in their hearts, maybe I'm only short of a good cook from the second place in the rankings, and I'm no worse than Geng Rong. After taking the exam twice, he was admitted as a scholar. Geng Rong took the exam many times in a row, but now he has caught up with me and became the second place.It's a pity that I don't have the blessing of Geng Rong, and I can't afford to hire a cook if I can't.Some people deliberately guide public opinion and magnify their dissatisfaction.

At this time, someone summed up the list of previous scientific examinations, saying which year the number one scholar hired the chef from the Cheng family to take care of two meals a day, and which year the Chuanlu invited the Liu family chef to take care of him. Chef... In fact, the majority of scholars who can't afford to hire a dedicated chef, but once the list is released, it seems that their grades are inseparable from the chef.

Then came the whitewashing for Geng Rong—in fact, Geng Rong was quite white and had no black spots—the reason why Geng Rong hired a chef was mainly because he wanted the chef to make him a kind of white powder without special effects. Food, which does nothing but make sure he eats and sleeps well.That's all.But the chef of Cheng's family is best at cooking dishes that can make people think more clearly, and the chef of Liu's family is best at cooking dishes that can make people focus more... A few months before the exam, his thinking has been clearer than others , or when you read a book, you always concentrate more than others. Is this a little unfair?

In such an atmosphere, Tang Gelao wrote a memorial to the emperor in the great dynasty.The general idea of ​​the memorial is that it is recommended that the court set up a special canteen for the use of Chunwei.Candidates who participated in Chunwei moved into the canteen two months in advance, and the canteen provided meals uniformly.As for the cook, Mr. Tang Ge pushed Sun Er because Sun Er's food was delicious and had no special effects.

Around this playbook, the opposition and supporters rolled up their sleeves in front of the emperor and tore them apart!

Sun Er, a man who is about to evoke a bloody storm.
