[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

The Qionglin Banquet was very ordinary. In fact, it was impossible for the Qionglin Banquet to have the kind of plots of picking faults and slapping faces in novels and TV dramas. On the contrary, it was extremely polite and boring.

This is easy to understand. If it is a lower-level state capital, some of the candidates may be able to suppress the examiner with their background, and they can do anything wrong without any scruples.

But at the Qionglin Banquet, the emperor, the crown prince, and the ministers of the court appeared. In front of these people, even a fool like Xue Pan would definitely restrain his temper and would never stand in a daze. Trouble on this occasion.

What's more, wouldn't finding fault with someone in this kind of place mean that you are not convinced by the ranking of the palace examination, which is a ranking appointed by the emperor. If you dare to say that, wouldn't it be that you are not convinced by the emperor's decision?

Furthermore, when it comes to this level, some small moves are useless. What everyone values ​​more is the competition of strength.

In fact, the lower one goes to the lower level, the more people like small actions, and the higher the level, the less such small actions. Everyone seems to become a good person in an instant, and there are very few times when they confront each other.

But apart from eating and drinking, the Qionglin banquet is undoubtedly a good opportunity to make contacts. In the officialdom, teachers and students have a very wonderful relationship with the same year. Undoubtedly, it is an excellent opportunity to get closer.

In the same way, under equal conditions, everyone will undoubtedly prefer their own age, and through this relationship, the relationship between the two parties can also be brought closer and a slightly stronger alliance can be formed.

In this regard, these imperial examination candidates who came out in the same year are natural allies in the officialdom. If such a good relationship is not used, it would be a waste.

Among the hundreds of new Jinshi, Wang Yue is undoubtedly the hot spot, no matter what else, just look at the attitude of His Royal Highness and him, others will know what to do.

Tu Hui also intended to associate with these people, not to mention, as long as his attitude is kind, these new scholars will give him a big publicity among the literati, and win him the reputation of a virtuous corporal.

Moreover, these people are all very outstanding talents, if he can win the allegiance of one or two of them, it will undoubtedly be a huge boost to him.Of course, Tu Hui would not be so stupid as to think that he was the prince, and these people would be loyal to him unconditionally. When he chose his subordinates, these people were also choosing the object of their allegiance. To show goodwill appropriately, these reserved scholars are willing to come forward.

Not to mention how many talents Tu Hui made through the Qionglin Banquet, and how Wang Yue found many friends with the same hobbies. It is only said that after the Qionglin Banquet, Wang Yue should have had a lot of leisure time.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, although the Xinke Jinshi will be assigned a position after passing the palace examination, enter the officialdom, and become a newcomer in the workplace, but the imperial court considerately gave everyone a period of family leave.

After all, becoming a Jinshi of the new department, whether it is a high-ranking official or a commoner, is undoubtedly good news, and it is also good news worth sharing with your family.

The imperial court is still very humane in this regard. According to the distance between each person’s hometown and the capital, there are also long and short family visits. For example, if you go to the northwest frontier or Hainan in the south, you can take up to two Many months of family leave.

And the short ones, such as the local ones in the capital, also have a half-month holiday.

Of course, since it was said that there should have been, it meant that Wang Yue's family leave was canceled for some reason.

This reason is naturally the spring hunting that Tu Hui mentioned earlier.

Tu Hui had secretly revealed to Wang Yue before that the emperor intends to take a few new scholars to the spring hunting, and the first few who can be selected are naturally the first few. Wang Yue is naturally qualified as a flower explorer.

The spring hunt will take place soon, and those who are qualified will naturally not be able to go home to visit their relatives. After all, the emperor and officials will not wait for them, new scholars, to finish their visits, and they also need to learn the rules of the spring hunt. , so as not to be unaware of the taboos of the imperial court, so as not to offend the nobleman.

Fortunately, the emperor's spring hunting tour is accompanied by important court officials and royal clans. They are just small fish among them, and they just follow along to join in the fun. Generally speaking, there will be no such thing as them So the people who came to teach them etiquette only taught them how to salute and retreat with the big troops, the various signs in the emperor's entourage, and warned them not to go out during the spring hunting, so as not to hurt them. Get yourself into trouble.

In addition, no one came to talk to them anymore, so they had a few days of leisure.

Others were looking for relatives and friends, or taking this opportunity to visit the capital, while Wang Yue had to socialize at home.

This time, not only relatives and friends from the same village came to celebrate, but also people from the four major families.

But the only thing missing here is Wang Ren, the current head of the Wang family.

It wasn't that Wang Ren didn't come on purpose, but that he didn't know it at all.Originally, Wang Ren was in Jinling City and had never heard of Wang Yue's name. After Wang Ziteng's death, as the only male in the direct line, he naturally wanted to come over to help Zhang Luo Wang Ziteng's funeral.

However, Wang Ren only pretended for less than a month, and then he showed his true colors. He just took the Wang family's money and squandered it outside, and he didn't even finish his uncle's filial piety. The shape of a big idiot is indeed a cousin.

Wang Ren only cared about money and good wine, so he didn't have time to manage the Wang family's connections. In his impression, Wang Yue was just a poor relative of the Wang family, so it was worth his time.

The staff of the Wang family who could remind him had already anticipated the future of the Wang family after Wang Ziteng's sudden death, and they all found excuses to leave the wrecked ship of the Wang family, but Jia Lian who should remind him was not even willing to see him face to face.

Wang Jianuo's wealth has only been squandered in Wang Ren's hands for half a year, and it is already a bit stretched, and he needs to find someone to fight the autumn wind.

As his biological sister, Wang Xifeng was naturally Wang Ren's first choice. Once or twice, Wang Xifeng thought it would be a favor in the relationship between siblings, but she refused to see her on the pretext of being sick.

Jia Lian is the most greedy of money, just like Wang Xifeng said when discussing with Ping'er that he still has money to spend in the frying pan, and it's too late for him to go out to eat, drink and have fun, so it will be sent to Wang Ren for nothing!

Jia Lian's wife-in-law is still like this, let alone others.Wang Ren still had some spare cash in his hand, and he was not yet in a desperate situation, so he spoke harshly with integrity, and then he never came to the door again.

Naturally, no one came to inform him of this kind of thing. Wouldn't it be too bad if he took the opportunity to cling to him?

This is the first time that the four big families have lost a corner when they went to the outside world, but it can also be seen that the four big families are in decline and no longer have the glory of the past.

Not to mention that the Xue family is now undoubtedly an ordinary merchant, and relying on the remaining prestige of the four major families, they will not be deprived of their qualifications as imperial merchants by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.The Wang family can no longer count on it. Historians have been keeping a low profile in recent years and are not conspicuous at all. As for the Jia family, without the empress in the palace, they will only have Mother Jia to support their face.

So this time when they came back to the Wang family, they no longer had the arrogance in their bones, and their attitude became more and more kind.

The author has something to say: Yesterday, the department had a year-end party, and the director treated me to a toast with another new doctor. He drank most of the bottle of white wine, and I drank most of the bottle of red wine. When I got home, I felt dizzy Yes, so uncomfortable!
