Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 36 A great joy in life
  Guozi studied on Jiqing Road.

It has become Su Guiyuan's obsession to let his son go to Guozi school!
  If it hadn't been getting late now, Su Guiyuan would have taken the opportunity to find a way out.

Looking into the distance, he could see the homes of doctors and even teaching assistants that he knew well.

He actually remembered the past.

Su Guiyuan still had some connection with Guozixue.

He was the only scholar in the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty. Although his fame was not very high, he was highly valued.

At least as long as Zhu Yuanzhang no longer holds imperial examinations, even the lowest-level children will be valuable.

At that time, many people who were in the same class as Su Guiyuan have now become teaching assistants in Guozixue, and even have Ph.D.

He used to go through doorways, and he also met these people, but he couldn't even get in to the concierge.

Even if you manage to lose face and give some benefits to the concierge, after you actually get in, you will be rejected with reasons such as "no quota", "there are rules above", "come back next time", etc.

however.

This time, Su Guiyuan was full of confidence. He looked at the "place of old friends" where he had gone before and resisted the idea of ​​going there now.

At the very least, I have to go back and wash away all the bad luck. Tomorrow, I will take Xian'er with me immediately, prepare some generous gifts, and come visit again tomorrow.

just.

Su Guiyuan still underestimated the value of him as the only person in the Kong motion who escaped death, and who was also promoted to the Zhongshu Province.

As early as the moment he said goodbye to Zhang Guance.

All interested parties are paying attention to his whereabouts.

Therefore, from a distance, he just glanced in the direction of those old friends, and was ready to turn directly at the next intersection and go home.

suddenly!

"Brother Su Xian, what a coincidence? Did you just come out of Zhongshu Province? Haha, congratulations to Brother Su on your promotion. Brother Su is probably too frightened these days and should go back and take a good rest."

At the entrance of the alleyway, there was an elegant man with a beard, who seemed to have just come out of the alleyway and wanted to do something.

When he saw Su Guiyuan, he immediately shouted out in surprise.

"Brother Hanwen..."

Su Guiyuan's eyes lit up. This person was a doctor of Chinese studies. He had just been thinking of visiting him tomorrow... It was such a coincidence that he met him.

"It's true that I just came out of Zhongshu Province. I didn't expect that we are so destined. I was just thinking about visiting Brother Hanwen again tomorrow..."

Su Guiyuan didn't react for a while. Although he was determined to get ahead in the officialdom, human nature is not so easy to change.

Just like now, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to express his inner thoughts.

However, I was still troubled in my heart, just when I was about to say it.

"Hahaha, what are you doing to visit Brother Wei? Brother Wei should be visiting you. We have agreed that Brother Wei must go to your promotion banquet this time. Wan You must never forget your brother."

Su Guiyuan laughed naively, "It's just a lucky chance to survive. How dare you hold this banquet, let alone the eighth grade..."

"Ha, you can't say that. My virtuous brother left the Kongyin case. The Holy Master personally said that my virtuous brother has a Qilin son. My virtuous brother has entered a noble place like Zhongshu Province and has made a smooth career. If we don't entertain guests this time, Is it possible that after my dear brother really ascended to heaven, he forgot about me and other old friends?"

"Where?" Su Guiyuan waved his hand quickly.

"So, dear brother, don't refuse. This promotion banquet must be held. Even if you have to pay for your brother, you must hold it for your dear brother..."

Su Guiyuan quickly waved his hand, "No, absolutely no, but my son..."

"Hahaha, my dear brother knows exactly what he wants to say."

Guo Hanwen laughed loudly, and then slightly arched his hands in the direction of the palace.

"Your Majesty opened the Guozi School, and not only accepted the children of officials, but also the world's best talents. Now His Majesty has personally said that Brother Su's son is Qilin'er. How can he not join our Guozi School?"

"It's time to enter! It's time to enter! My country is very lucky to learn!"

Guo Hanwen patted his chest and reassured Su Guiyuan.

really.

This has always been Su Guiyuan's worry. At this moment, a smile quickly appeared on his face, "Thank you so much, Brother Hanwen..."

"Hahaha... No, no, Brother Su, please say some kind words for me in front of Mr. Hu!"

Su Guiyuan's smile faltered, but the expression only paused for a moment, and then he continued to smile.

……

Farewell to Guo Hanwen, Su Guiyuan clenched his fists.

It’s different!

It’s really different…

There are five grades of doctors and seven grades.

Gao Hanwen is a fifth-grade doctor, and he is considered a noble person among Guozixue, but now he has to join the sect of Prime Minister Hu.

Su Guiyuan once again felt the overwhelming power of this prime minister.

It's a pity that I didn't visit today.

Thinking like this, I walked all the way back home.

Only then did he see that in front of his house, the whole street was filled with generous gifts. Thinking of the many people he had met along the way, they all smiled and talked to him eagerly.

The journey usually only took half an hour, but he walked for half an afternoon and returned home during the curfew.

Fortunately, I came back late, otherwise I don’t know how many people I would have to deal with.

According to Su Xian's words, one afternoon's experience in human relations almost cured his social anxiety.

"Guiyuan!" At this time, Wu Xiu had also discovered Su Guiyuan and hurriedly stepped forward.

Hearing news is one thing, seeing a living person is another.

Her son is at home, and God knows how stressed she is in order not to let her son see her worry.

"never mind!"

"never mind……"

Su Guiyuan murmured to himself, patting Wu Xiu's shoulder and whispering comfort.

I thought of it just a few days ago.

His family also had to plan for the future. He also told Wu Xiu what to pay attention to once he was exiled, how to protect his children, and so on.

He was promoted today, and he even made arrangements for his child's future just by walking away.

Such a huge leap in life circumstances made him feel a little sad.

And it was only now that he realized how rare it was to escape from death.

Almost shed tears.

"Thanks to Xian'er!"

Su Guiyuan looked far away at the child who was smiling at him.

The Qilinzi who was personally spoken by the Holy Spirit.

You must not let yourself miss your future!

Also, now that his child is in the limelight, he has become the talk of the entire capital, and many people are also staring at him.

For some reason, Su Guiyuan also felt a sense of urgency.

He must move forward step by step in the officialdom.

The higher the wind, the stronger the waves.

You must be higher than the limelight!
  Otherwise, if you fall, the children behind you may also fall to pieces...

As for retreating.

At this height, he had no choice to retreat.

Taking a step back is the abyss!

This situation made him deeply aware that everyone in the officialdom was cautious and walking on thin ice!
  The higher you go, the more you need to understand that it’s always cold at high places.

While he was thinking about this.

"I'm starving, let's eat quickly."

……

"We're full, let's take it down."

at the same time.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and took advantage of the palace maid to bring the food down.

He then said casually: "It's interesting, how could Su Guiyuan become a hot favorite as soon as he left the country? Hey, as soon as he left the Zhongshu Province, he arranged for his son to go to Guozixue..."

Empress Ma came from the side and said, "Isn't it like this in officialdom? You leave and we come on. The one who comes on the stage will be very popular. However, what do you think about letting Su Guiyuan go to Baochao to raise the case?"

On the side, Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying were also together.

If Zhu Yuanzhang was not busy in Jinshen Palace, he would definitely return to Kunning Palace during dinner. This could be regarded as a rare warm moment for him.

Zhu Xiongying blinked his eyes and listened carefully. In fact, he was confused about many things now, but he knew that Su Xian who was playing with him at the base of the city wall was Su Guiyuan's son.

At this moment, I couldn't help but prick up my ears, hearing that Su Xian was going to study at Guozi.

Of course he knew where that place was, and he couldn't help but said earnestly: "Grandpa, I also want to go to Guozi to study."

"Good boy, Xiongying, we are going to the main hall, and only the sons of officials go to the Guozi School..."

Zhu Biao quickly stabilized his son and prevented him from disturbing his parents' conversation.

At the same time, he was also curious: "You can see from Zhaomosuo's five-year term that he is dull and not good at officialdom. In this place of Zhongshu Province, dealing with people is the most important thing."

"In addition, the treasure banknote collection department was established only two years ago to make up for the shortage of copper materials in Hongwu Tongbao. Such an important position is handed over to a dull person..."

Zhu Biao shook his head, he was not optimistic.

And there is the most important reason, "My child once heard that Hu Xiang has a hobby, which is raising monkeys. On weekdays, the servants are not responsible for serving tea and water. All these tasks are done by the monkeys he raised. Every day Whenever an official comes to visit, Prime Minister Hu will serve him with monkeys, which can be regarded as a strange thing in the officialdom."

"If you send him there, you won't be afraid that he will end up..."

Zhu Biao's meaning was already obvious.

Who knows.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Either I say you have to practice again."

"Hu Weiyong loves to raise monkeys, so let him raise them..."

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang also stood up from the chair, first teased his eldest son, and then smiled again.

"But they also need to know who gets to eat."

"What's more, we asked him to go to the Baochao Prosecution Office to do errands, not to act like a monkey for others. If he really eats other people's food, he will like to act like a monkey for others and forget his own errands."

"Humph……"

"Then stop being a human being!"
