Zhou Zhoulang was still arranging the things he brought back in the front yard. After he had arranged all the luggage, he ran over to Mr. Zhuang, "Sir, it's still early, so I'm going to ask Mr. Yang about the situation?"
"Go."
Zhou Zhoulang ran to look for Yang's mansion, but he couldn't find anyone, so he ran to the household department of the imperial city to look for him, and finally found someone.
Yang Heshu handed the admission notice and note to Zhou Zhoulang, and said: "You came back just in time, they just entered school yesterday, have a little rest today, and go to school tomorrow, too late, not only the gentlemen have a bad impression, but also the students It also ruins the image in front of you.”
Zhou Zhoulang responded, "It's really good."
Yang Heshu smiled. A picture of "Sage and Worthy Lao Tzu" that can be handed down from generation to generation, not to mention offering wine to Confucius, can go through the emperor's back door.
But in his opinion, it is easiest to go through the prince's back door.
There is no need for "Sage and Worthy Lao Tzu", because Mr. Zhuang has taught the prince over the years, as long as he speaks, Donggong will definitely be willing to sell him a favor, and Zhuang Jiran agrees with the situation, which is within the admission range of the Imperial College.
Donggong spoke, Guozijian would definitely not refuse again.
But Mr. Zhuang didn't want Donggong to intervene. For the students, he is wholehearted. .
This matter is not a secret in the capital. On the 25th, the Imperial College announced the list of officials' children who will be enrolled this year.
Zhuang Jiran was enrolled in Taixue, and he was considered very old among a bunch of young people aged 19 or 20.
And behind each person's name is also written their domicile, who they are from...
Zhuang Xun is now Prince Shaofu. As soon as his name appeared, everyone couldn't help paying attention.
This focus reveals the problem.
"This age... doesn't it mean that there are many students enrolled this year, and the children of officials who are above the age limit are all rejected?"
"This is the first time Zhuang Shaofu recommends someone to enroll, and he is the grandson of his first relative. Maybe the Imperial College will sell him off."
"Tang Prime Minister recommended a nephew this year, and his age is also above the limit. The Imperial College still refused politely. This is how it treats the Prime Minister, let alone Young Master Zhuang?"
"Did Dong Gong come forward?"
Everyone inquired carefully, and found that Donggong didn't show up, but Yang Heshu, and Bai Shan asked Yang Heshu to move.
Why do you know so much about it
Of course, it was because Kong Jijiu got the "Sage and Worthy Laozi Picture", and he was so excited that he invited his friends to visit him to enjoy it.
"This painting..."
When everyone saw the painting, their expressions went blank for a moment.
This is a very famous painting, so famous that before it appeared, many people in the world were looking for it, and after it appeared, many people were staring at it.
Some collectors even secretly wrote a biography, indicating that this painting is now in the hands of Bai Shan, the fourth house of the Bai family in Longzhou.
So when they suddenly found it in the hands of Kong Jijiu, everyone was shocked.
The first thought of the few friends who are close to Kong Jijiu when they saw the painting was, "Did you imitate it? It looks quite similar!"
Kong Jijiu was furious, "This is the real thing, really!"
"Isn't the real thing in Bai Shan's hands? I heard that Bai went back to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors during the incident, and he took fifty days off."
Kong Jijiu said with a serious face: "This painting is mine now."
"How did you get it?"
Kong Jijiu said: "My students gave it to me. It is only right and proper for students to honor your husband."
After hearing this, everyone remembered that Bai Shan was also a student of Kong Jijiu. After all, no matter whether it was in the Imperial College or Chongwenguan, the chief officer was Kong Jijiu.
"No, Bai Shan is not in the capital, if he sees you off before leaving the capital, can you bear to invite us to reward you together?"
"It was given to me by Changbo."
"Yang Changbo, Yang and Shu?"
Seeing him nodding, several people were surprised, and grabbed him and asked, "Did Yang Heshu beg you to do something, or Bai Shan beg you? Why are you willing to give the "Sage and Worthy Laozi Picture"?"
Kong Jijiu ignored them, and asked, "Do you still appreciate the paintings? If you don't, I'll put them away."
"Rewards, rewards, I didn't have friendship with Bai Zhishan before, so it's not easy to come to ask for a meeting, but today it falls into your hands, I have to be honest about what I say."
Then the list is announced, and everyone will understand after a little thought.
It is well known that Yang Heshu and Bai Shanzhou have a good relationship. It seems that this painting is still given by Bai Shan, so that Zhuang Xun's grandson can go to school.
Everyone clicked their tongues twice, but it was Zhuang Xun and Kong Jijiu who envied them.
A teacher can be so valued by his disciples; a teacher can also get benefits, envy.
For such a trivial matter, Zhuang Xun can just walk through the back door of the East Palace. How can a "Sage and Worthy Laozi Picture" be used to open the way
In the final analysis, Zhuang Xun didn't want to make things difficult for the prince, and Bai Shan didn't want to make things difficult for Zhuang Xun.
If you have a disciple like this, what do you want for a teacher
Everyone was envious, so Zhuang Jiran hadn't entered school yet, and his name had already spread throughout the Imperial College.
Everyone wanted to see what this grandson of Zhuang Shaofu was like.
Yang Heshu looked up at the sky, and said to Zhou Zhoulang, "I'll visit Mr. Zhuang after I leave the office." He had to remind Mr. Zhuang of some things face to face.
The wind in the capital is blowing so hard and so strong, who knows who is behind it and why
Zhou Zhoulang responded and went back to see Mr. Zhuang with his things.
Mr. Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the admission notice and note, "Did Master Yang say why Kong Jijiu agreed again?"
"No," Zhou Zhoulang said, "but Mr. Yang will come over after he leaves the office."
Mr. Zhuang nodded.
Zhou Zhou Lang got up and said: "Sir, I will call the kitchen to prepare dinner. You have been tired all the way, take a bath and sleep first, and I will call you when it is almost time to go to the office in the next afternoon."
Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, "You should also rest, you are in charge of this journey."
Zhou Zhou Lang said indifferently: "I'm young, I'm fine."
When Yang Heshu approached Mr. Zhuang, the most important thing was to remind him of the public opinion in the Guozijian, "The rumors in the Guozijian are going to be noisy for a while, and it will definitely be bad for the new students. The second son of Zhuang..."
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said: "Other people may be very distressed, but for my grandson, I'm afraid it won't be of much use. Don't worry, Mr. Yang."
Yang Heshu stopped talking, talked about Bai Shan, and asked with a smile, "He took fifty days of vacation, and thirty days have passed by now, where is he now?"
After counting the days, Mr. Zhuang said: "It should still be on the way to Shangzhou, but it will be soon."
Yang He wrote: "Not long ago, he wrote a letter to dredge the river and develop water transportation, which caused a storm in the Ministry of Industry and the government. He is quite comfortable, hiding outside Beijing, and seems to have nothing to do with it."
Mr. Zhuang smiled and asked, "This is a good thing, what's the trouble?"
"This is a fat job. Everyone agrees to dredge the river and develop water transportation, but there has been a debate about who will be responsible."
Mr. Zhuang was slightly startled, and asked, "What does Master Yang mean?"
"If Bai Shan writes a letter in Beijing, he can not only recommend candidates for this matter, maybe he can also be in charge of this matter."
After thinking for a while, Mr. Zhuang shook his head and said, "Since he chose to submit the letter at this time, it is obvious that he did not intend to do so. There are countless capable ministers in the court, so it is not difficult to find the person in charge."
It is not difficult, but it is not easy to win this errand.
