The Heart of the Red Chamber

In the days that followed, Wang Ren lived very comfortably. Together with a few of his contemporaries, he paid a visit to his teacher, Fu Ting. According to Chen Jingrong, Fu Ting was talented and tactful. When he was in office, he was also the censor of Zuodu at that time, but he was too smooth and annoyed the Supreme Emperor, so he was finally sent to the Qingshui Yamen of the Ministry of Rites. After so many years, he also became the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. Being able to join the cabinet, there is not much hope in the future.It is precisely because of this that this person seems to be a bit of a good-natured person now, he has both sides, and he is unwilling to offend anyone. I hope that when he becomes an official in the future, he will look better, so that he will not be stumbling by others. Get fucked.

Therefore, Fu Ting was very angry with Wang Ren, who was obviously very hard on his background, and was about to write "There is someone above me" on his forehead. He praised Wang Ren so much that he suspected that the person he said was not himself.Of course, Wang Ren also showed an appearance of respecting his teacher, and presented an authentic painting of Mi Fu, plus a box of top-quality Mingqian Longjing, Fu Ting's Attitude could almost be described as attentive.

This kind of social activity lasted for more than a month before it gradually faded away, because Wang Ren's work needed to start preparing for the next year's general examination. Less than [-] people were admitted in the exam, the proportion was so small, so facing the exam half a year later, except for those like Wang Ren who planned to wait another three years, few others could calm down.

It's late autumn now, and the weather is getting colder. Feng Ziying posted a special post a few days ago, saying that she is going to go hunting in the western suburbs together. In fact, they are a group of second-generation officials who are bored at home and want to go out and indulge. .

"You boy, I couldn't see you in the past few days. You should be pulled out by us now!" Feng Ziying was riding on the horse, and when she saw Wang Ren coming, she greeted him with a big smile.

"Brother Feng said that, my younger brother couldn't help himself a few days ago!" Wang Ren said with a smile, "Besides, Brother Feng probably didn't have the heart to look for me a few days ago, I guess he didn't scold younger brother in his heart A meal is a good thing!"

Several people laughed. To be honest, none of them are very interested in reading. They were just dawdling in the Imperial College. This time, apart from Wang Ren, only Shi Guangzhu entered the examination room. For the sake of face, he barely got a ranking, and the rest of the people, the family also absolutely did not have such thoughts.However, if that is the case, seeing Wang Renshun successfully passed the provincial examination, and those parents looking at Wang Ziteng's proud face, they will inevitably have to teach their ineffective son a lesson when they go back. better off.

Wei Ruolan smiled and said, "My family didn't expect me to pass the imperial examination to become an official. I guess I will be like Ziying in the future. I will be a bodyguard in two years or even be in the army. I heard that in the past two years, the imperial court There have been some conflicts with Qianxiang Country, and when the time comes to earn some military merits, we can also earn a wife's shadow!"

"Wei Ruolan is looking forward to spring!" Shi Guangzhu teased at the side, "Why is he thinking about marrying a wife and having children right now?"

A group of people burst into laughter.

Wei Ruolan became angry from embarrassment: "What kind of spring do you miss, don't think I don't know, how many of you haven't eaten meat yet!"

Wang Ren was a little depressed, he was shot while lying down, he was always a pure boy!

Wang Ren was about to protest against Wei Ruolan's blood-spouting, when he suddenly saw a strange face in the crowd, he couldn't help being taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Feng, you haven't introduced me yet, who is this young master?" ?”

Feng Ziying looked at it and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, I forgot that you have never seen it before! This is Liu Xianglian, the grandson of Mr. Liu, Duke of Li!"

Liu Xianglian seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old now, but she looked handsome and unrestrained, she cupped her hands first, and said with a smile: "I've heard about the name of Mr. Wang a long time ago, and seeing him today, it's really not as famous as seeing him! "

"Thank you!" Wang Ren also smiled, "Since Brother Liu is familiar with Brother Feng and the others, he is naturally not an outsider, so don't be a prince or not, just call me by my name!"

Shi Guangzhu also said on the side: "Xiang Lian, don't be angry with Ah Ren, Ah Ren is the most straightforward, not a coy person!"

Wang Ren was a little uncomfortable with the name Ah Ren, but now he was almost used to being called, so he stopped refuting.

Liu Xianglian was also very straightforward: "Okay, Ah Ren will call me Xianglian from now on!"

Several people chatted and laughed, Feng Ziying came over and said: "Okay, I will have time to get to know each other in the future, and finally I have time to come out, so I can't just talk!"

Shi Guangzhu gave Feng Ziying a blank look: "Ziying, are you in such a hurry that you can't wait to admit defeat?"

Wang Ren was taken aback for a moment: "Could it be that there is still some bet that cannot be fulfilled?"

Wei Ruolan interrupted and said, "Just now, before you came, Aren, we were making a bet, whoever will gain the most today, and whoever loses will be invited to Zuixianlou for a month!"

Wang Ren waved his hand: "Don't count me in this matter, I may not be able to shoot with a fixed target so far. This is the first time I have hunted, and today I just come out to join in the fun!"

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "Little brother Ah Ren has always been a good boy, how could we bully you!"

Wang Ren cried out all of a sudden: "How many times have I told you, don't call me little brother!"

"Among us, you are the youngest, you are not a little brother, who is?" Shi Guangzhu also jokingly asked.

Wei Ruolan smiled and said: "Okay, you guys, you guys have offended Ah Ren, and I will have good fruit for you in the future!"

Wang Ren waved his fist at the right time, and snorted softly: "If you guys shout again, just wait and see!"

Feng Ziying knew very well that Wang Ren was always full of evil ideas and jokes should not be too harsh, so she quickly apologized: "It was a slip of the tongue just now, it was definitely a slip of the tongue!"

Shi Guangzhu also pushed Feng Ziying mercilessly: "It was just a slip of the tongue, and Feng Ziying just called out just now. He is the mastermind, and I am at most an accomplice!"

Wang Ren also didn't want to pursue this kind of matter, he said slowly: "Since it's a slip of the tongue, well, let's not make an example!"

Feng Ziying quietly made a threatening gesture to Shi Guangzhu, and said with an apologetic smile on her face, "I will definitely not be an example! Ren, it's getting late, let's go hunting! At this moment, the beasts in the mountains are fat and strong, waiting for you!" It's winter!"

"Okay, haven't you been delaying this all this time? Let's go!"

Several people brought their own servants, laughing and galloping towards the mountains and forests in the western suburbs.
