Chapter 37 The Dust Settles
Last night, there were so many guests that almost broke the threshold, but on the day of the ceremony, there were not too many guests, but each one was very important.

For one thing, Ji Zhan's health is worrying, and it is really not suitable to make a big deal of it.Secondly, most of the celebrities of Wu Shizhong's older generation have withered away, and there are not many people who are qualified to be invited by the Ji family to witness the ceremony.

Most of the dozen or so people present today rely on their own families to become famous, such as Gu Pi and others.The only exceptions are Lu Ye from Wu Jun and Zhang Kai from Danyang. Lu Ye is Lu Ji's cousin, and Zhang Kai is a descendant of the old Wu Zhang Zhao. Compared with the celebrities of Ji Zhan's generation, they are weaker. But compared to the backwardness nowadays, they can be regarded as old seniority.

Seeing the guests, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but feel the benefits of crossing a high starting point.Zhang Kai is the Da Zhongzheng of Danyang, and Lu Ye is the Dazhong Zheng of Yangzhou. It is even more difficult for ordinary people to meet this kind of Zhongzheng official who determines the future of a person, let alone perform in front of him.But now this group of scholars and masters all came to watch the ceremony for themselves.

It's just that Shen Zhezi felt a little regretful that he couldn't see Wu Xing Da Zhongzheng in this county.He vaguely heard that Wu Xing Dazhong was originally a member of the Kong family in Kuaiji, and because he was too strict in discriminating talents, he was driven back to his county by his father earlier.

Although Zhongzheng officials are all held by people with long-standing reputations, it is difficult to carry out work if they cannot get along well with the local powerful clan.In this kind of world, it is really a ghost to be able to select talents fairly and clearly.

Shen Zhezi is destined to become an official, and occasionally he fantasizes that he can be designated as a talent.

The Ninth Rank Official Personnel Law has been implemented until now, and the first rank is usually ignored. For example, the surname Wang Ge, Jiang Dong Gu Lu and other families can usually be classified as the second rank, even if they are unbearable, there are still third ranks.

According to Wu Xing Shen's previous reputation, Shen Zhezi felt that he was barely in the fourth and fifth ranks, and if he met a Zhongzheng official who wanted to disgust the Shen family, he might be in the sixth rank.If it is lower, it is poor.

But now that he has worshiped Ji Zhan as his teacher, Shen Zhezi will probably be able to get a third rank. In a few years, when his father's official career is smooth and prominent, it is not impossible to rise to the second rank.

According to the practice of lowering the rank of the village rank by three to four ranks to become an official, when Shen Zhezi officially became an official, he should start at the fifth or sixth rank, and he can already serve as a secretary, a scholar, and other Qing ranks.

Although the current morality has not yet reached the decadent level of later generations that "if you don't leave the car, you will write, and if you are in the body, you will be a secretary", but after a few years of serving as a high-ranking official, Shen Zhezi can probably find any county guard.If things go well, he will be able to rule a state in his 30s and rank as Fang Bo, and he will be able to enter the dynasty and rule Taiwan province in his 40s.

The evil old society, an eight-year-old boy can already foresee the official career experience of most of his life, black-headed three men.With such a stable and seemingly step-by-step official career, it is no wonder that the children of the gentry enjoy themselves at ease and lose their competitiveness.

"However, it's still a bit slow."

Shen Zhezi is not satisfied with this set of promotion trajectory, and he doesn't want to play according to the current rules at all. Being in charge of the military state at the age of 30 is already the lowest bottom line he has set for himself.

Putting back all the thoughts in his mind, Shen Zhezi, under the guidance of Ji You, greeted many guests in the hall one by one.The dozen or so people in the seat almost included most of the elite of Wu Shi, but almost all the noble families in the county were present.Even the Yu clan in Kuaiji, who wanted to follow his father's path, had a clansman sitting there to show respect for Ji Zhan.

This member of the Yu clan is named Yu Xi.Shen Zhezi vaguely remembered that this Yu Xi seemed to be an astronomer.

All the guests in the audience have extremely complicated feelings about Shen Zhezi. First of all, they are naturally not angry that Wu Xing and Shen's family are juxtaposed with him.But I had communicated with Ji Zhan before, and I probably understood the reason why Ji Zhan had to do this.If there is anything in this world that can make them change their faces, it is not the Xiongnu Jiehu who ravaged the north, but the chaos of the clan.

If the Wu Xingshen family really took refuge in King Nandun and became famous, it would undoubtedly send a signal to other inferior families that this way was feasible, and the situation would be out of control by then.At that time, these aristocratic families will not only have to bear the pressure of the overseas Chinese surnames, but also have to deal with the challenges of Jiangdong's native land. It is scary to think about it.

In view of this, even if I feel a little uncomfortable, I have to accept such a result.For example, Lu Ye, who had strictly restricted his clansmen not to associate with the Shen family before, now has the expression of his father who just died, which shows that he is not in a happy mood.

Shen Zhezi didn't care about the mood of this group of people. He only blamed the emperor and King Nandun for being impatient and gave him a big hole card.If it wasn't for this change, he might still be treated coldly by these guys.

But at least these guys are not confused to death, and understand the stakes.In history, it was the clan Sima Daozi who ruled in disorder, Fang Zhen repeatedly forced the central government, and then Huan Xuan usurped the throne, all the leaders of the poor family rose up, and finally buried this small court that was peaceful for a while.

The auspicious time had come, and Ji Zhan, who was still in good spirits for recuperation, was carried into the main hall by Jianyu, and handed several scriptures in gift boxes to Shen Zhezi.Shen Zhezi knelt on the ground and took it respectfully. The scriptures he taught include "Spring and Autumn", "Book of Songs", "The Analects of Confucius" and so on.

Of course, these cannot be all learned by Ji's family, they are just for the sake of ritual sense.Right now, Ji Zhan has no energy to preach and solve doubts, and Shen Zhezi never intends to die in vain.Rather than teaching scriptures, it is better to say that it is issuing qualification certificates.

However, in addition to these etiquette scriptures, there are also some dry goods.Ji's family specializes in exegesis, sound and rhyme. In addition to scriptures, there are also annotations recorded by Ji Zhan.With these, the Shen family can also claim to be an expert in this field in the future.

Next came a lengthy set of etiquette, apart from paying homage to Ji Zhan, there were also Shen Xian from the Shen family's Xizong, the elders of the Ji and Shen families, and all the guests watching the ceremony.

It took nearly two hours to complete a set of procedures.Shen Zhezi was dazed and didn't say anything, but he probably understood why he was not polite to ordinary people.Such a cumbersome and lengthy etiquette, remember to say something else, wasting such a long time, and still have time and energy to do other things?Probably only those who have nothing to do and have nothing to do will be keen to engage in this set of red tape.

After the apprenticeship was over, Shen Zhezi breathed a sigh of relief, insisted on seeing off the guests who witnessed the ceremony, and when he returned to the Ji Mansion, just after taking a few steps, his eyes darkened, and he fainted and fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked, hurriedly carried Shen Zhezi into the living room, and invited Ge Hong to treat him.

Ji Zhan, who had already rested, couldn't feel at ease after hearing the news, so he rushed here, and seeing Ge Hong frowning after the diagnosis, he asked anxiously, "Zhichuan, what's wrong with my disciple?"

He valued Shen Zhezi from the bottom of his heart, and thought that Xiao Lang could do something in the future, not because of his status and family background.

"Heart toil."

Ge Hong still used the same old saying, but he called Liu Meng, the soldier who had been following Shen Zhezi, and asked, "Has your young man had any illnesses before?"

Liu Meng was already a little flustered at the moment, since he went to Kuaiji, he followed Shen Zhezi all the way, and witnessed how this young man dealt with all kinds of parties, pulling the entire Shen family from the center of the disaster to a safe place little by little.Apart from the status between master and servant, he already admired Shen Zhezi from the bottom of his heart.

At this time, seeing Xiao Langjun fainted and unconscious, this mighty general who often drowned and beheaded in the chaos of the army could hardly keep calm, and said in a trembling voice: "Two months ago, Xiao Lang Jun suffered from a serious illness, and he has not recovered for a long time... "

Fearing that the description was not detailed enough to delay Xiao Xianweng's diagnosis of Lang Jun's condition, Liu Meng described in detail all the events during this period, so that Ji Zhan and others knew that the pale and weak boy on the couch had lived in the past period of time. Li actually did so many things.

"Zhichuan, please save my disciple! This is a talent bestowed by heaven, and it will keep my Wudi peaceful in the future!"

Ji Zhan held Ge Hong's wrist tightly, and solemnly entrusted him.

"This young man is aggressive on the outside and weak on the inside, his vitality is scattered, and he is tossing and turning, like fishing in a marsh, how can he last long."

Ge Hong sighed, and after seeing the earnest and anxious eyes of the old man, he thought for a long time before nodding his head and said, "I will do my best to prevent your disciple from dying early."

Hearing this, Ji Zhan was relieved. He knew that Ge Hong Xiang Wuqing promised, and once he made a promise, he was sure to do it.Then he pointed at Shen Zhezi who was sleeping on the couch with a smile and scolded: "I really feel uncomfortable for myself, and I have to recruit another concern when I am dying."

Ge Hong said angrily: "If you still complain, then who should I blame?"

"Haha, those who can do more work." Ji Zhan said with a smile, and with Ge Hong taking care of him, he left with peace of mind.

After sending Ji Zhan away, Ge Hong came back and said to Liu Meng: "If you want your husband to survive, don't let him worry about it. Wu Xing and Shen's family are considered prosperous, so there is no need for a child to work hard."

Liu Meng felt very ashamed and said yes repeatedly.

When Shen Zhezi woke up, it was already the morning of the next day.

He is also very clear about the reason for his sudden fainting. During the nearly two months since time travel, his spirit has always been tense and he has been under tremendous pressure for a long time.Even if it is an adult's body, running around, it will feel a little overwhelming.

Now the dust has finally settled and there are results. Although it has deviated from his original idea, it is still not out of control.It can be said that Wu Xing's Shen family has completely shaken off the haze of Wang Dun's rebellion, and has a good foundation.With a relaxed mind, the body that was originally supported by one breath finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Upon waking up, Shen Zhezi saw Ge Hong's cold face, and felt relieved.He is just weak, and has not reached the point where he is intractable. With the help of this little fairy, at least his life is safe.

Although he is not used to this kid, but since he agreed to Ji Zhan, Ge Hong still tried his best. First, he warned Shen Zhezi not to be brave, to rest carefully, taught him a set of methods of breathing and recuperation, and also adjusted his diet. It can be said that they are not dedicated.

If it wasn't forced by the situation, Shen Zhezi would be happy to rest.Now that the problem has been solved, he can stay in Ji Mansion with peace of mind.He had already laid a foundation, and he believed that his father's methods would never disappoint him.

　A plot has finally come to an end, and there will be a short transition period.In addition, regarding the age of the protagonist, it may be a slot for some book lovers, but for the author who has just passed his ninth birthday, it is still acceptable.The logic in a book can be self-consistent, but it is really difficult to cover everything in detail. Please forgive me and seek common ground while reserving differences. . .
