After the two groups entered the main road of the capital, they went in different directions.
One is Yiwangfu.
One is Rong Wangfu.
Do not interfere with each other!
Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu returned to the mansion on the front foot, and a servant came to report on the back foot.
"My lord, Lord Shang asks to see you."
"Lord Merchant?"
After searching in my mind, is there such a person in the court
The young servant closed his waist and said, "It's the editor of the Hanlin Academy, he came here once yesterday, but you went to the suburbs, so I asked him to go back when I was young, and he will come again. "
Oh!
It turned out to be Shang Zhuo of Mingshan Academy.
The servant asked, "See you or not see the prince?"
It stands to reason that Shang Zhuo just took office not long ago, and now he comes to Wang Rong's mansion to walk around, it is inevitable that he will fall into the limelight.
But after all, there is also a one-sided relationship. Everyone has come, and they can't be driven out, right
Jing Rong glanced at Ji Yunshu, "What do you think?"
"He's been here twice, no matter if it's important or not, it's okay to come in and sit for a while."
"Um."
So, let people in.
After a while, Shang Zhuo came in with the servant who led the way.
He was dressed in plain clothes, holding a long box in his hand, and looked down.
It is vaguely visible that he is a courtier and respectful.
He walked into the house and bowed deeply, "See Prince Rong."
I haven't seen him for several months, and he has some official attire on his body.
"Sir, you are welcome."
"Originally, I should have come to visit the prince on the day he entered the capital, but because of many things, he came only yesterday after he was free. Unexpectedly, the prince was busy with the dry well case and was away from the mansion, so I came again today, hoping not to disturb the prince. "
Still, as always, humble and courteous.
Jing Rong scrutinized him up and down, "I haven't seen you for several months, you are already in high school, and this king is right to congratulate you."
"It was the blessing of the lord Hongfu that allowed the lower officials to enter the Hanlin Academy and the editor."
"You should be able to do it yourself!"
Jing Rong's words are not polite words.
Everyone knows what kind of talent Shang Zhuo is.
Good handwriting, good handwriting.
The post of editor of the Hanlin Academy is indeed a bit of a talent.
Shang Zhuo smiled, lowered his eyes, turned to look at Ji Yunshu beside him, and also gave a salute.
"I have seen Mr. Ji."
Ji Yunshu stood up and returned the salute, "Master Shang is polite."
"I never thought that I would be able to meet Mr. Shang in the capital. It is a fortune of Shang."
"When we parted from Mingshan Academy, I was confident that adults can go to high school. Now that I have succeeded, I really deserve it."
"By Mr. Xiang's words."
Shangzhuo is courteous.
Immediately, he handed the box he brought to Jingrong, and said, "I know that the prince never accepts court salutes, and the lower official brings a thought, and I hope the prince will not dislike it."
It's not the ceremony, it's the mind.
For this reason, people have to accept it!
Jing Rong took it and opened the box, which contained a scroll.
Unplug to expand.
It was a painting.
It's a bird's-eye view!
In the painting, the birds in the forest either play, spread their wings, or land on the branches...
lifelike.
Shang Zhuo, "I don't know what the lord likes, so I painted Xiaguan's best paintings."
Admiring the painting in her hand, Jing Rong couldn't help nodding her head in praise, "Sure enough, Master Shang's painting can be called a masterpiece. The objects in the painting seem to be reflected in front of us, and they are vivid."
"Thank you for your compliment, it's just a humble work, as long as the prince likes it."
"This painting, this king likes it very much."
He handed the painting to Ji Yunshu and let her appreciate it too.
The essence of the painting, even Ji Yunshu would sigh.
"I believe that in this world, you are the only one who can draw the white bird so vividly."
From the heart.
Shang Zhuo bowed his head in thanks.
Close the scroll.
She asked suddenly, "By the way, I don't know... How is Lin Shu now? I heard that he was the top scholar in high school and entered Xiuzhuan. You are in the Hanlin Academy with him, you should know something."
Speaking of that person, Shang Zhuo's expression sank.
He replied truthfully, "To tell the truth, sir and the lord, since the day the emperor issued a decree, Lord Lin and I have not been as quarrelsome and rambunctious as in the academy, and he and I... In the Hanlin Academy, but he is the editor and editor, and he is in contact with the royal family's copywriting, but I only edit and organize six things, so... there is very little communication."
There is something in the words.
Jing Rong said, "Is it because of King Yi?"
Pick it out directly.
Uh!
Shang Zhuo was shocked, "How does Wang Ye know?"
He is the prince, can you not know
"The affairs of the court can be seen by anyone with discerning eyes, and on the day this king entered the capital, Yu Shaoqing of Dali Temple said about Lord Lin. I think that he was able to be the champion in high school because of the grace of King Yi."
Jing Rong addressed Lin Shu as Lord Lin!
"It's true." Shang Zhuo sighed and was annoyed, "Just the day before the emperor decided to be ranked first, King Yi sent someone to take him to the palace of King Yi. I should have tried my best to dissuade him, but it's just Lin Shu's temperament. How, both the prince and the gentleman know that if he becomes stubborn, no one else will be able to hold him back."
"Everyone has their own choices, and they can't be forced. It's just... This king is worried that you have complaints."
"How do you say this, my lord?"
"In terms of talent and character, you will definitely come out on top, beat him by three points, and you should be the champion, but Master Lin was named champion because of the secrets of King Yi. There will inevitably be a thorn in your heart." Jing Rong said.
But Shang Zhuo smiled and said relievedly, "If you have a top talent, you are already satisfied, how can you complain? Even if there is a thorn in your heart, it's just an inconspicuous thorn, you can't do anything about it, and They are all officials in the court, trying their best for the court, regardless of their rank.”
Broad-minded.
There is no petty heart.
Jing Rong: "It's best if you can think of it this way. A name is just a name. If you really have the ability, even if you leave it in the mountains and forests, you can still use it."
"That's exactly what the lord said."
"This king really didn't see you wrong. You can put down your complaints and become an official with peace of mind. Few people can have such a character."
Shang Zhuo smiled.
Jing Rong waved his hand again: "Forget it, let's not talk about this."
After all, now that Lin Shu is a member of King Yi, it is meaningless to talk about it in private.
After the topic was over, the three exchanged a few words.
Shang Zhuo is inconvenient to stay longer because he still has business affairs.
Before leaving, he said, "If the lord needs a place where he needs to be appointed, just let him know, and he will do his best and spare no effort."
Take your stand!
After the people left, looking at the back, Jing Rong said, "Shang Zhuo has a stable temperament, and he knows black and white. Although it is currently only an editor of the Hanlin Academy, if it is used by the king, in the future, it will be the king's in the court. Right arm."
good review!
In fact, Jing Rong made this idea early on.
Of course, Ji Yunshu also agreed.
