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

"Today, the Relief Department finally relaxed. You don't know, the recent drought in the northwest, they are almost busy, and they finally finished their work, and now they are wrapping up, so they have time to call you over for a meeting. See."

The clerk said while pulling Wang Yue, saying non-stop: "In fact, although your article is well written, it's not worth calling over to see it, especially the people from the Academy of Sciences, you should know They spend so much money every year, and it turns out that the results of the research still need to learn from a child's article. This time, they lost a lot of face. Those who wrote this article. Fortunately, this is only a minority, and most of them are more modest and willing to accept criticism. They also said that they will find an opportunity to communicate with you later, and it is said that the Academy of Sciences has already applied for it. Give you some of this year's bonus, don't look down upon it, but it's also an honor, isn't it?"

"It's not worth it. I just said it casually. Why is it worth getting a bonus?"

Wang Yue hurriedly humbled, the clerk just smiled lightly, and said: "You don't have to worry, of course there is a meaning of rewarding you, but it also means beating the insiders of the Academy of Sciences. In recent years, the Academy of Sciences has gained more and more glory. The people inside inevitably developed a sense of pride. In the past two years, many mistakes and omissions have been made. These mistakes and omissions are not serious, and they will not delay the business and cause any major damage. Therefore, it is not easy to punish them, but It’s not small, you know, scientific matters need to be careful everywhere, a little thing can cause a big mistake, and if you let it go, it’s just a small mistake now, maybe it will develop into a big mistake in the future, so The academicians of the Academy of Sciences just want to beat them, so that they know that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond others. You just gave them an excuse. After all, it is not as good as an eight-year-old child. It is a big deal for them who have always thought highly of themselves. Shame!"

"This…"

When the clerk said this, Wang Yue was even more afraid to accept the bonus. After all, taking the bonus would bring hatred from many people.

Seeing his hesitation, the clerk quickly comforted him, "Don't worry about that, those who can enter the Academy of Sciences are not only educated, but also decent in character. If you don't go that way in the future, it doesn't matter whether they complain or not. Besides, you are an eight-year-old child. If they are a little bit ashamed, they won't come to trouble you. Just rest assured about this bonus. Then there is."

The more the clerk said that, the more Wang Yue dared not accept it. After all, he had been in contact with the chaos of these highly educated people fighting for power and profit. The academic circle has never been as calm as the outside world thought. People are dazzled.

Although the clerk said that the people in the Academy of Sciences have a guarantee of character, Wang Yue doesn't believe it. These highly educated people pay the most attention to packaging themselves, and they all pretend to be human outside. As the saying goes, knowing people Knowing the face but not the heart, no matter how angelic the outside is, who knows if the heart is a devil?

But Wang Yue didn't dare to show his timidity, after all, it was too much to be so cautious at such a young age. In the eyes of outsiders, it might not be cautious, but timid as a mouse.

What's more, the clerk said that he was only here to pick him up, but he was the person he had the most contact with. If the people above wanted to know him, they would definitely ask the clerk. He naturally wanted to impress the clerk. Make a good impression.

Therefore, even though he was a little worried, he still pretended to be comforted, smiled and said: "I am relieved to say that, those adults who want to come to the Academy of Sciences are busy studying major issues related to the future of the country every day, How can there be time to imprison me as a child!"

The clerk also smiled at this, turned his head and said: "You don't have to worry when you go in later, the person who came is just a small clerk from the Relief Department, not a high-ranking official, although it is indeed our Ministry of Civil Affairs who summoned you The minister, but the minister has a lot of things to do every day, so he has no time to receive you. This person is just a routine questioner on behalf of the minister. After all, no matter how talented you are, you are only eight years old. It would be great if you were older. I must pay attention to you, and I will ask you to come to the ministry as soon as you pass the palace examination, and you are still at a disadvantage in terms of age."

After speaking, the clerk realized that what he said might hurt the child in front of him, so he quickly changed his words and comforted him: "But it's okay, you are so talented at such a young age, won't you be even more powerful after a few years? At that time, the Ministry must pay more attention to you, and you will have a higher starting point when you come to the Ministry, you don’t have to be like me, at this age, you are still a ninth grade.”

The clerk couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he said that, he lowered his head and sighed, just in time to see Wang Yue's ignorant smile, he smiled, and couldn't help laughing at himself, why are you talking these words to a child?

No matter how talented he is, it is probably only for reading. He is still a little immature in dealing with people and things, and he must not understand what he said.

And the child is so sensitive, if I show a depressed mood in front of him, it will be bad if it affects his performance later, wouldn't I become a sinner, so the clerk quickly showed him a hearty smile .

Seeing him like this, Wang Yue quickly returned a smile.

The office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is not too big. After walking for a while, we arrived at the destination. A clerk who followed Wang Yue squatted down to comfort him and said, "It's okay, just go in and ask a few words. Don't worry too much. Just act as usual."

Along the way, this clerk was extremely responsible, not because he was a child so he was perfunctory, but because he was a child, he took special care of him, and Wang Yue naturally wanted to take care of him.

"Thank you uncle, I see."

"go in."

The clerk stood at the door and waited for Wang Yue to come out. After all, he was a child. He was afraid that he would lose the child if he missed the person by mistake. What's more, this was also a good opportunity to be honest and lazy. Naturally, he would not be stupid to answer The Secretary is looking for a job.

Not long after, Wang Yue came out, and the clerk hurried up to greet him, gave him a piece of candy, and asked with a smile, "How is it?"

Wang Yue took the candy, nodded to him and said, "Fortunately, it's just like what uncle said, it's just a routine questioning, and everything is going well."

Wang Yue did make enough preparations before coming here, but he did not expect that the so-called questioning was just an ordinary questioning. The questions were only about his family situation, his views on the drought in the Northwest, and his views on the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I understand, it's like an interview.

The person who came to ask him was just an ordinary little official, not the big man he imagined, and he was not the protagonist who had the aura of domineering. Whoever writes something can attract any prime minister. His Majesty's.

The reason why he was able to attract the attention of the above was that Song Pingzhang had other intentions and recommended him to the above, and he happened to catch up with the severe drought in the northwest, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs paid attention to it, and did not dare to let go of any related suggestions. This is the chance to be summoned by the cabinet.

Fortunately, outsiders don't know the inside story, they only know that he is favored by the cabinet, at least no one dares to think about him now.

The pace of approaching the Wang family can also be slowed down a bit, because he rejected Wang Ziteng's proposal last time, even if he assuredly reminded Wang Ziteng of an important matter, there is still a grudge between him and the Wang family.

But he didn't expect that he would encounter so many things in a single limelight, it seems that he should be more cautious in the future!

The author has something to say: I really enjoyed drinking for a while, and my stomach hurts. I drank so much yesterday that I completely forgot that my aunt came. I drank a large glass of ginger syrup, but it was still uncomfortable! (???︿???) In the future, when my aunt comes, I really don’t dare to drink indiscriminately! !
