The palace exam was imminent, but Ye Huaixin had trouble posting. After thinking about it, he decided to come to Ye Huaiyang to discuss.
Since the founding of the state of Chu, there has been an unwritten rule in the imperial examination systems. Those who are judging scholars and palaces must choose three masters as their teachers or disciples of the emperor. The ministers despised.
It is said that the predecessor of this rule was the system of meritocracy in the prosperous period of aristocratic families. Later, with the rise of poor families, these poor rules gradually evolved into another means of forming a party for personal gain. New scholars need to be recommended by teachers in order to gain a firm foothold in the court. And teachers also need fresh blood to strengthen their power.
However, there are also Qingliu among them, such as the leader of the poor family - Zhongshu Ling Yue Ting has only one student, and it is only because of his virtue and knowledge that he is in his eyes. He is not the only one like this, but he is a minority in the imperial court.
For the children of aristocratic families like Ye Huaixin, posting as a teacher is just a formality. After all, there is a huge Ye family behind it, and the eldest brother who is the commander-in-chief of Guanzhong is in the court. Even if you don't do this, who would dare to give What does his face look like? It's just that he wanted to find a teacher to learn something seriously, so he hesitated until now.
"Sister, who do you think I should vote for this post? Looking at the court, all the powerful and powerful are Wang Xie and his like. Although Yue Ting is what I want, he will never accept the children of aristocratic families as students, which is really annoying. Headache… "
Ye Huaiyang raised his head from the desk, the corners of his lips curled slightly, "How do you know it's impossible if you don't try?"
"Is this still worth trying?" Ye Huaixin had some doubts.
"Yue Ting is a great scholar in the world. If you have a glimmer of hope, you should try it. It doesn't matter if you are rejected. The Ye family can still handle this matter. Besides..." Ye Huaiyang's voice paused slightly, and the bottom of his eyes raised a strong feeling. "I don't believe it if you say that you are not as good as Pei Yuanshu."
Pei Yuanshu was Yue Ting's only student.
Ye Huaixin also smiled. He was not lacking in courage and intelligence, but he was a little worried that if the news spread in the court, it would have a negative impact on the Ye family. Ye Huaiyang's encouragement gave him a reassurance.
"Okay, then I will go to Yuefu to post tomorrow!"
After saying that, he went back to the room by himself to prepare to go. When he went out, he happened to bump into the crescent moon. It was only Xie Yun who came to visit and was waiting in the pavilion. Ye Huaiyang raised his eyebrows when he heard the words. she is.
When I came to the pavilion, the surrounding flowers were splendid, and a touch of light blue came into view, like a willow on the bank, and it was suitable for movement and stillness.
"Sister Yun, it's been a long wait."
Ye Huaiyang said hello in a low voice, without too much politeness or hypocritical greetings, Xie Yun seemed to be very comfortable with this way of getting along, and she stood up and saluted naturally: "I came uninvited and disturbed my sister. "
"Where is it, please sit down, sister."
The two sat on both sides of the round table one after another, separated by an arm's width. Ye Huaiyang personally held the pot to make tea, and the white smoke came out of it, like a cloud, and before it dispersed, she raised her eyes and looked at Xie Xie. Yun, the tip of her eyebrows is like a tender bud in a celadon tea cup. One moment, it was high and angular, and the next moment it stretched out in a pool of green water, so fast that people could not notice it.
This Xie Yun has been silent since the last time she asked her about raising pets. Today, she suddenly came to her private mansion. She must have another purpose. See what Xie Yun wants to do.
"I heard that this year's test questions have stumped many talented scholars. I'm really happy for Huai Xin to pass the test."
"He's just lucky." Ye Huaiyang smiled lightly. Although he said it lightly, the pride in his eyes did not hide.
Xie Yun smiled and said: "Luck is also a part of strength. Besides, my brother saw Huai Xin's strategy when he was assisting Lord Feng to sort out the papers. He has a unique point of view and is well organized. ?"
The imperial examination was attended by a large number of people, and the officials were very busy. Her elder brother Xie Miao was a student of the minister of officials, so she was also among the assistant managers.
"He usually hangs around, and my sister must have heard of it. Since he has been elected, I have nothing to say. If I am fortunate to be an official in the court in the future, I don't say that I can help the society, as long as I can grind his presumptuous temperament. OK."
The crescent moon next to him almost didn't laugh when he heard this.
Hearing the prince angrily scolding Miss for being presumptuous all day long, the eighth young master is nothing compared to her, but now she is actually saying such things without blushing or panting, which is really funny.
"If there is a teacher who teaches carefully and thinks it will not be a problem, I don't know who the post of Huaxin will be posted to?"
Ye Huaiyang sighed slightly, and seemed to have a headache, "He hasn't made up his mind yet, and I can't make up my mind when my eldest brother is not at home."
Seeing this, Xie Yun suggested: "In my humble opinion, the Censor Gu Yong is a good candidate. Even though he has a hot temper, he is an honest and upright official. less stuff."
As soon as these words came out, Ye Huaiyang was really stunned for a long time.
She deliberately said that just to see what Xie Yun wanted to say. If she left an olive branch for the Xie family, the purpose would be self-evident, but she actually asked her to choose Gu Yong, who came from an aristocratic family. When he got up, he completely ignored the clan and faction disputes. In the 20 years at the Censor's Desk, he did not know how many officials who had committed crimes. A rare optional person.
From this point of view, Xie Yun's suggestion seems quite sincere.
"Sister said very much. When I look back, I will tell Huaixin to listen to him and let him think about it."
Xie Yun nodded, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and put it on the table, then slowly pushed it in front of Ye Huaiyang, "My father used to be close friends with Master Gu, if Huaixin is interested, you might as well post this, Gu. When you receive it, the adults will understand it, and I hope my sister will not refuse, just take it as my little intention."
Ye Huaiyang stared at it for a while, then smiled, and immediately asked Crescent Moon to bring the brocade box and put it away, and thanked Xie Yun: "Thank you, sister, for that."
Xie Yun smiled lightly, her eyebrows raised lightly, showing a soft light, as gentle and elegant as the neighbor's elder sister.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a long time. When it came to the pets at home, Xie Yun became interested. Ye Huaiyang invited her to the backyard to see Lanlan. She went there happily, but what she saw surprised her.
Lan Lan is making trouble, to be precise, making trouble for Prince Lan's mansion.
He has fallen in love with this sport since he climbed over the wall last time. Although the walls of Prince Lan's mansion have been built high, it has grown a lot taller in the past few months, so it is not difficult to climb up. Now he is clinging to the wall with his butt. Facing Ye Huaiyang and Xie Yun, they were about to turn into the courtyard of the palace again.
"Lanlan, come down!"
Ye Huaiyang gave a light reprimand, and it turned back immediately, but instead of shrinking back, it raised its paws and shook them at them.
It also has a snake in its hands!
Ye Huaiyang saw that Xie Yun seemed to be frightened, so she chuckled and said, "Sister, don't be afraid, Lanlan won't throw the snake here."
Xie Yun said worriedly: "Even so, the snake was thrown dizzy by it, what if it bites it?"
"Don't worry, don't look at Lanlan's cumbersomeness, she can move flexibly, and the snake won't be able to bite it." Ye Huaiyang was very sure, but seeing Xie Yun was still worried, he explained slowly, "Back then, the yard was I bought it in a hurry, and built a nest for it in the backyard without checking it. Who would have thought that every few days, a snake hole would be pulled out. The group of snakes were actually afraid of it, and gradually they all fled, and today it is rare to get caught by it again, no matter how much you train it at this moment, I am afraid it will not stop."
"But now it's thrown at Lan Wangfu..."
Ye Huaiyang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xie Yun's fingertips. The snake rolled around in the air like a boomerang, and then fell into Prince Lan's mansion, followed by a scream. Without realizing it, he patted the bricks and tiles on the eaves with all his might, as if he was quite excited.
"Lan Lan, come down quickly!"
Ye Huaiyang raised her face, as if she was really angry, Lanlan glanced back at her, and began to slowly slide down the wall, seemingly reluctantly, Xie Yun laughed and her shoulders trembled, All that fear was gone.
"Sister, how did you tame this pet? It's really..."
Before she could finish her sentence, someone on the other side of the wall suddenly shouted in a loud voice, "Bold! Who lives next door? In broad daylight, he dares to pamper himself and commit murder, you know where this is!"
Ye Huaiyang hadn't spoken yet, when a cheerful male voice sounded again: "Why, Lanlan throws something here again?"
Xie Yun froze suddenly when she heard the sound, and a crack appeared on her face that was always calm as water, revealing many emotions that others could not understand.
Ye Huaiyang was too lazy to pay attention to it. She hugged Lanlan and was about to leave, but when she turned around and found that Xie Yun was stuck there like a lost soul, a light flashed in her mind, and it was too late to catch it.
"Miss Ye, your pandas are getting more and more naughty. They crawl here every day, so they can be raised in the palace."
The two returned to their senses, one was busy covering up his gaffe, and the other rushed back lazily: "Dr. Lu pays so much attention to Lan Lan, could it be that he has changed his career to become a veterinarian?"
"What's wrong with veterinarians? At least animals know who is good to them, but not necessarily people. I just healed an arrow wound a few days ago, and they don't recognize people when they turn their faces."
Ye Huaiyang heard that Lu Heng was mocking her, but she was not angry, she just snorted: "Doctor Lu is so eloquent, being a doctor is a waste, it's time to tell stories." After that, she let Lan Lan go. Entering the nest, pulling up Xie Yun and walking back, "Let's go, sister, I'll let you see a joke."
Walking to the promenade, there was no sound from Prince Lan's mansion, and there were no servants around. Xie Yun and Ye Huaiyang were talking one after another. Although their expressions were as usual, Ye Huaiyang could still see the slightest absent-mindedness. .
Before leaving, Ye Huaiyang escorted Xie Yun out of the mansion, and Xie Yun asked casually, "My sister is familiar with the people from Prince Lan's mansion?"
Ye Huaiyang smiled and replied nonchalantly, "How could it be, how could I be able to climb high, my lord? I just dealt with that Doctor Lu a few times."
Xie Yun held the handlebar tightly for a moment, but didn't say anything, she just nodded to her to say goodbye, she looked at each other, and a hint of interest appeared on her lips until the carriage drove away from her sight.
This drama seems to be getting more and more interesting...
