No matter how great Ayu's father thinks of Ayu, and no matter what Ayu's mother is full of expectations from her daughter-in-law and grandson, Ayu finally arrived in the capital before the heavy snow fell.

Outside the gate of Prince He's Mansion, Ayu stood very politely. This is the Prince's Mansion. Even if he is a Juren, he is not qualified to be invited to sit down and drink tea in a hurry. He can only wait at the door, waiting for the porter to enter. Sending the letter, the recipient of the letter is not the prince himself, this Ayu is not qualified, but the chief servant next to the prince, this kind of rules, Ayu already knew it clearly when he was in Huamanlou's house, this is the rank, This is the difference in status.

Fortunately, although Prince He is not very in tune with himself, his family's servants are not ordinary people who have no rules and look down on others. They are all very cautious in their words and deeds. There are even a few older ones who look at Ayu's posture In this world, it is very rare for a person from a poor background to pay respects to a prince in such a manner that he is neither humble nor overbearing, polite and proper, and they are even surprised. The gentleness and calmness in Ayu's eyes, facing the high-ranking family, did not dazzle or shrink back, frankly, it seemed that he had seen everything and didn't care about anything. With this aura, they all feel that this young man is not simple, and they are afraid that he will be able to make great achievements in the future. At this time, it is so simple and direct to look at people.

"It's really Ayu! Come in quickly, the prince happens to be at home, and the miscellaneous family will invite you to see him."

The one who came out was the eunuch in charge next to the prince, so he naturally recognized Ayu. Whether it was Ayu's first visit to the capital or in Jinan, he knew that the prince was very optimistic about this child, so naturally he would not be ignorant. He also called Ayu's nickname affectionately, which seemed even closer.

"I'm in trouble, father-in-law. How is father-in-law? The students brought some jujubes from home. They are our specialties. They specially honored the prince and left a copy for the father-in-law. It's just outside. The family is small and small. Yes, there is nothing that can be sold, so please don't take offense if you are a little less courteous."

Naturally, Ayu would not come to the door empty-handed for the first time, after all, the prince and the prince were really kind to him, but he didn't need to make any fuss, he was the prince, he hadn't seen anything, didn't he have anything?All the wealth of the family may not be able to attract people's attention, so I just use local specialties to pay homage, although it is thinner and shabby, but it is still considered to be a gift with a little affection!Ayu is still very good at planning.

Sure enough, the chief eunuch didn't look disgusted at all, or wouldn't put his disgust on his face, he just said happily:

"Jujubes are good! Shandong jujubes are the most nourishing for the body. In this winter, a bowl of jujube tea every day nourishes the blood and warms up the body. When it is really necessary, you are sensible and give it well."

During the conversation, the manager asked about Ayu's affairs during this period, and when he learned that Ayu had already won the Juren, he immediately looked at him differently.

"No wonder the lord always says that you are talented! Isn't that so! You have been studying hard for a long time, and you have even passed the exam. You should really show those people with gray beards who still pretend to be scholars. This is the ability, this is the real scholar."

It's strange to say this, is it possible that this father-in-law is angry with some scholars?That's right, from ancient times to the present, this eunuch has not been very popular with scholars, especially those who pretend to be noble, who despise the eunuch's status and want to step on it a few times to show their nobility.It's just that the specific reference is too obvious, what kind of gray beard, what kind of scholar, could it be that there is a specific target?

But this has nothing to do with Ayu, he is not interested in listening to the embarrassment of the chief eunuch, he just said with a hint of shyness and humility:

"It's just my luck. What a good skill there is, otherwise I wouldn't be just the last few. Thinking about it, it's really dangerous. If it weren't for the few articles of this exam, I am relatively familiar with it. You may not be able to pass the exam next time."

"What are you talking about? In a person's life, being lucky is a skill, and it is also your blessing. In the early years, when the miscellaneous family followed the prince to drive down to the south of the Yangtze River, I heard that there was a talented person with excellent articles. , but this luck was extremely bad. Fifteen or sixteen was a scholar, but during several consecutive township examinations, he was either sick or kept his filial piety. Another time, a thief stole the salute and even lost the examination ticket. He was already in his 30s when he was admitted to Juren. Tell me, because of bad luck, he was delayed for more than ten or twenty years. Why? It’s just bad luck, isn’t it!”

It is rare for this eunuch to find someone who can speak well, to show that he has a lot of knowledge, why would he stop, on the way to Prince He's study room, he studied the luck of the imperial examination with Ayu, and got Ayu Nodding repeatedly in praise, I liked Ayu even more in my heart.

The special human body of eunuchs is mostly weird due to physiological reasons, but there is one thing that is basically the same, that is, if someone is not pleasing to the eye, it will be displeasing to the eye for almost a lifetime. The knife is also willing, and it has a taste of extremism.Ayu doesn't know if it's the kind that the chief eunuch said was particularly good. Anyway, at this time, it's so close that even the eunuchs don't let it go. properties?This is really possible!

When he saw Prince He, the chief eunuch even licked his smiling face, praised Prince He fiercely, and said that the master has a very good eye, and he is also a great talent if he picks on a young man casually, no, this is a great talent I have become a juren, and I came to pay my respects to my master, and I also brought the most famous jujube from Shandong to make up my body. I am really capable and sensible, and my master is lucky!

This compliment is meant to be happy with the prince. I just feel that I have the ability to recognize people with discerning eyes. I even look at Ayu with gentle eyes, as if looking at my own junior. Don’t you Said, this is what these eunuchs are capable of. He looked at Ayu pleasing to the eye, and subconsciously spoke for Ayu. Although he praised his master throughout the article, he also put Ayu as a gifted scholar. Going to the humanoid, unconsciously satisfying Prince He, and giving Ayu a higher position.

Ayu is not one of those ignorant people who don't understand the world, nor is it those people who can't hear the words. Seeing the good things the chief eunuch said to him, he felt that he would divide the gift again at zero time and give it to this person. The father-in-law was overjoyed, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was clever and thought of an old saying that the king of Hades is easy to see, and the little ghost is hard to deal with. He thought that he had to report the letter to the door, so he had such an extra thought. Otherwise, at this time, I'm afraid There is no such good treatment.

Prince He was overjoyed and happy. Hearing that Ayu had won the Juren, he also felt radiant. After all, it was his own kindness that allowed him, a boy from a servant background, to take the imperial examination. If he could pass the exam, that would be him Knowing people with discerning eyes, this is a good story wherever you put it, can you not be happy!

Although I also heard Ayu explain that it was only the last few, but according to Prince He's intention, the last few are also Juren, right?According to his thinking, as long as he is a Juren, he can be an official. As for why so many Juren in the whole country can't be an official, I'm sorry, that's their problem, and it has nothing to do with him, the prince.

Ayu knew that there must be something arranged for him to go to Beijing with the prince, otherwise he would not have said that those who did not pass the exam would pass the exam, so he didn't talk about his own exam, but just said that he He came here following the orders of the prince, and only waited for the orders of the prince to do things. He seemed very obedient, and he was very satisfied with the prince. However, since he had already won the exam, he thought about it with the prince, and let him prepare for the test. , no matter what, it is always necessary to give it a try. As for other things, simply let Ayu do some trivial things for the time being, and talk about everything after the trial.

After the audience, Ayu has reported to the prince, and returned the 100 taels of silver given by the prince. When walking out, Ayu took out two large [-] taels of silver from the rewards. The ingot was given to the head eunuch, and he didn’t say anything about thanking him for his kind words just now. He just said that he would rely on his father-in-law to take care of him in the future. To the group of people I knew at the beginning, it can be regarded as a meeting gift for everyone when he went to the capital to pay a visit, and invited everyone for tea money.

This is no more, no less, just right, and the excuse has no flaws. No matter how you look at it, it is a posture of etiquette. For the 20 taels, if the father-in-law goes out for five taels, it is a fixed day, and the rest is his own. This tea money is not much, but it is not much. For a poor family, A Yulai, who is wearing a coarse robe Said, that's really a lot, what's more, he really saw it, the 100 taels of silver reward was the errand money that the prince deliberately gave Ayu to spend in the capital these days, and asked him to help with chores. I received my salary in advance.He was actually willing to give [-]% to him. It can be seen that he is willing to spend money, and he is really capable!Not simple, really not simple.

"According to the miscellaneous family, you have only just come to the capital, I'm afraid you haven't settled down yet! But live in an inn?"

Since he took the money, he wouldn't take it in vain, and immediately he would have something to point out.The manager squinted his eyes at Ayu, waited for Ayu to nod, and immediately clapped his hands and said:

"The young man in the car at the door has a wide range of people. Ask him to find you a place to live. It's okay to live in an inn for a day or two, but it's not good after a long time. It's too expensive. It's not easy for us to earn some money. You can save as much as you can, rent a house, it costs only two taels of silver a month, if you can have two neat rooms available, just find a new one later, it’s close to the mansion, what’s the matter, let’s Isn't it convenient for the master to find someone?"

Look, listen, what does this mean, that is to say, you'd better live closer, it is estimated that the prince will look for you from time to time, this is a good enough guide!The benefits of silver!And here lies his magic.

What else to say, Ayu naturally agreed.
