Chapter 405: Speaking Ill of People in Person

Grilled fish is delicious, big mouthfuls of meat, big bowls of wine, unscrupulous, these are the days.

Shen An ate so much that Zeng Gongliang couldn't eat anymore. He groaned while touching his belly, saying that he would definitely gain weight if he went back.

The quarrel over there continued and became more and more intense.

Shen An took a big piece of fish and ate it, and said happily: "This island is great! If you can settle here, fish every day, and take a boat to visit friends around you in your spare time, it will be like a fairy life."

Zeng Gongliang smiled on the side and said: "If you can live on this island for five years, I will come to stay with you and never leave the island."

Is this old man so mean?

Shen An just said that it was okay to live on such a small island, but without computers and the Internet, people would go crazy.

There was still a quarrel over there. After Shen An had eaten and drank enough, he thought it would be better to go back and take a nap, so he said, "Mr. Zeng, shall we go back?"

Zeng Gongliang also felt that he was exhausted and nodded.

But there was a lot of noise over there, the faces were red and the necks were thick, and Zeng Gongliang couldn't suppress it even when he showed up.

Especially when there were a few old men around, Zeng Gongliang was afraid of making them angry, so he had to retreat with a wry smile.

Shen An didn't have a good impression of these people, so he said: "What are you arguing about? Small words and great ideas are useful, guiding, and lead people forward, but there is no need for everyone to figure it out, right? Even if it is to figure it out, according to what you are waiting for To preach the Dharma, you have to work hard and spend a lot of time pondering the words of the sages... What's the use of that?"

Those people were stunned.

Someone said angrily: "Of course it's useful. If you think about it thoroughly, it's... it's..."

"Just what?"

Shen An was a little angry.

The words of the sages should be pondered over, but is it interesting to ponder over them all your life?

"What is the benefit to the country and the people of trying to figure this out? Who can tell me what the benefit is?"

Shen An's momentum was so strong that those who opposed him were a little speechless. An old man said: "Only after he has figured this out, will he know etiquette, justice, integrity, and how to behave..."

Damn it!

"It's enough to know the etiquette, justice and integrity. This needs guidance, and you can even use the law to guide you. As for how to be a human being... the warnings and guidance from parents and teachers are enough. Learn, learn, and learn how to be a human being throughout your life. You can't even die. How to be a human being?”

Shen An said angrily: "I really thought there would be an afterlife!"

He felt that these people were hopeless, so he said: "Isn't the so-called small talk and great justice inconclusive?"

"Of course."

"Then what are you thinking about? Just teach it to those students. What else are you thinking about?"

Shen An said coldly: "It's boring and self-absorbed. I think it's noble. It's useless!"

He dropped these words and patted his butt and left. The old men were so angry that they were shaking all over, and some even fainted at the sight.

How vicious!

Only when you are extremely bored will you ponder these things, and you will be narcissistic and think that they are noble and useless.

Shen An's words directly revealed the true thoughts of these people. Zeng Gongliang's face was full of dark lines, but he could only comfort him with gentle words.

After finally calming down the old men, one of them said sternly: "This guy should be exiled and sent to prison. He will never be allowed to return to the Central Plains."

Another person said: "Prime Minister Zeng, you don't care about this kind of people? Just one word from you can make him lose his official position."

Zeng Gongliang thought that the young man had a reputation in the official family, and I couldn't let him lose his official position.

He could only mutter a few words, and then he was ready to go back.

An old man grabbed his sleeve and gasped: "Since Prime Minister Zeng refuses to take action, can you tell me this person's name? I also know some people in Beijing, so I can at least embarrass him."

"That's right! Everyone knows some officials more or less. When the time comes..."

Everyone thought that the young man was Zeng Gongliang's follower after all, and the threat was half gone.

Will Zeng Gongliang protect him?

Relying on his age, the old man grabbed Zeng Gongliang's sleeve and refused to let go, as if he would die by your side today if you didn't tell him.

When Zeng Gongliang saw that Shen An had already boarded the boat, he cursed the boy's cunningness in his heart, and then gloated: "You've been talking about Shen An for a long time, but the real person doesn't recognize it now..."

Shocked...

There was silence on the island, and everyone was dumbfounded.

We were chatting here for a long time with Shen An, who was sitting next to us, eating fish, drinking wine, and watching jokes.

Isn't this a joke?

Nowadays, Shen An can be regarded as an educator, but in Raozhou there are such a group of literati who failed to pass the Jinshi examination and are ridiculing him. This scene makes me laughable no matter how much I think about it.

And he was actually with Zeng Gongliang, so he went to Guangnan West Road?

He was also there during the great victory at Guangnan West Road, but did he make a contribution?

That young man was awarded a title for his military merits. If he achieves military merits again this time, it will be a complete achievement of both civil and military achievements.

The new education method, the previous sentence shocked people, this is the article.

Wu had a great victory in Fuzhou, and now there is another great victory in Yongzhou...

Who dares to say that he is not both civil and military, his face will be swollen.

"No wonder he said he couldn't write poems before. It's not that he can't write poems, but he thinks the poems we make are like children's. He is disdainful!"

As soon as Shen An's poem came out, everyone was stunned.

Just making a comparison, I feel that the poems I write are really like those of children.

Xie Wei's face was as red as a monkey's butt, and he felt that he could no longer behave as a human being.

Those who spoke ill of Shen An were even more embarrassed.

I was talking bad things about him here, but I didn't know that he was listening right next to me.

This is so embarrassing!

If word spreads, everyone will become a villain.

And just now everyone said that they would use their connections in the capital to deal with him.

That's Shen An! It is said that Shen An is highly valued by His Majesty. With our little relationship, can we deal with him?

Don't be ridiculous, I'm afraid he will turn around and deal with us when the time comes.

A group of opponents were blushing and embarrassed, but those supporters rushed over happily, and Shen An's tranquility was also broken.

"I've seen Taizhao, and I dare to ask Taizhao, what should I pay attention to when it comes to Tihai's method?"

"Taizhao, I have always wanted to see you in my dreams. I saw you today. I am so happy that I don't know what to say..."

"Is it time to get engaged? My sister-in-law is thirteen years old and in the prime of life..."

For a moment, Shen An was surrounded by people and couldn't laugh or cry.

Zeng Gongliang looked in the direction of Bianliang and murmured: "It's time for the palace examination to begin. If the Imperial Academy counterattacks again, Shen An's future... is limitless..."

…

For the palace examination today, Su Yan got up early, but Su Yi got up earlier.

The father and son made breakfast and ate it.

Su Yi looked at his son with satisfaction, "Dalang, the imperial examination does not depose anyone. You just go for the examination and don't worry about your ranking."

He felt that the sixth place in the provincial examination last time was a matter of luck, but the palace examination would definitely be different.

"The officials are going to test you personally. When you see the officials, you have to say hello and be polite..."

After some muttering, Su Yi sent his son out.

This area was full of poor families. When everyone saw the Su family and his son coming out, they all shouted, "Su Yan is going to take the imperial examination."

Immediately all the neighbors came out.

Envy!

envy!

All kinds of emotions are spreading.

Someone said: "Su Yan, you said you were taught by Shen Daizhao, then maybe he would let you pass the imperial examination?"

There was some jealousy in this statement.

People are like this. We were all in the same situation at first, but in a blink of an eye you are about to become famous, and we can't even see your back, so the jealousy will break out uncontrollably.

But these jealousies will gradually dissipate, and when Su Yan's official career goes smoothly, these jealousies will turn into worship.

This is human nature, and Su Yan doesn't understand it at this time.

But he said very seriously: "Yes, it is XX who is waiting for the imperial examination. Without the imperial examination, there would be no XX today..."

Seeing his sincerity, someone laughed and said, "Su Yan, a rich family has taken a fancy to you and wants to take you to be their son-in-law. Why are you unwilling?"

Later, when news of the incident at the dock came out, the neighbors felt that Su Yan was losing her mind and going crazy for rejecting such a good marriage.

"Are you still hoping to marry a princess?"

Su Yan shook his head and said: "No, the imperial edict says that people should not be frivolous when they are proud, but should be cautious. It is best not to do anything and wait until the situation cools down before making a decision."

"It's still Shen Daizhao! Su Yan, then Shen Daizhao is just like your biological father."

This was a bit too much. The speaker was scolded by an elder and ran back to his home in despair.

Su Yi said with a smile: "Nothing's wrong! I have been very kind to my elder brother. If he is willing, I would like to let him become his godfather, but my family has no face."

The adoptive father at this time is not the concept of later generations, but refers to the stepfather.

Su Yi said that he was shameless, which meant he was suspected of clinging to Shen An.

This is a simple man, and he cannot see the ferocity of trying to drown someone on the dock that day.

A group of children were playing in front, and the sound of singing floated over.

"Jasper is as high as a tree, with thousands of green silk ribbons hanging down. I don't know who cut out the thin leaves. The spring breeze in February is like scissors..."

Spring is everywhere in Bianliang, green leaves and tender grass are fragrant everywhere.

Walking out of the alley, Su Yan stopped and looked to the southwest, with longing in his eyes.

Su Yi was still thinking about the happy event that his son was going to meet the official family today, and almost bumped into his son's back.

He followed his line of sight and saw only a patch of spring light.

"Dalang, what are you looking at?"

Su Yan said: "When the imperial edict is in the southwest, if he knows that the child can go to the palace examination, he will definitely be happy..."

No one has ever been so kind to me.

He doesn’t dislike me for being stupid and stupid, nor does he dislike me for being a boy from a poor family. Instead, he pours more care into me...

Then I will work hard to make you proud!

A smile appeared on his lips, then he raised his head and walked into the examination room.

Imperial examination...

In the Chongzheng Hall, the examination room has been set up, and the candidates for the Jinshi Department are taking their seats one after another.

Su Yan lowered his eyes slightly, adjusted his breathing according to Shen An's instructions, and got rid of distracting thoughts in his mind.

The examiner above was preparing, and the hall gradually became quiet.

Someone was holding a placard with the title written on it and speaking loudly at the same time.

"The king has access to heaven, earth and human gifts..."

"Tiande Qingming Poems..."

"Water is as good as Taoism..."

After finishing the topic, Su Yan opened his eyes, then lowered his head almost piously and began to draft.

Waiting for the order, I will work hard...

A piece of clothing flashed outside the hall, and Zhao Zhen was looking inside.

His eyes turned and searched slowly.

"Guanjia, UUkanshuwww.uukanshu.net is over there."

Chen Zhongheng smiled flatteringly and pointed at Su Yan's position.

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "He is very calm, which shows that he is useful."

Although he didn't know who the official was talking about, Fu Bi behind him just wanted to vomit blood.

This hasn't come out yet, but you say that person is useful. How embarrassing is this for us prime ministers and assistants!

Zhao Zhen walked by from the side and said calmly: "I have someone send wine and food to the examiner."

Only the Song Dynasty could have such weird things. At the highest talent promotion ceremony in the country, the emperor actually invited the examiners to drink and eat meat.

He was looking at the southwest, with more hope in his eyes.

Shen An, don’t let me down!

…

First update, it’s the end of the month, please give me a monthly pass, it’s such a miserable monthly pass! Jazz is in grief and anger...
