Chapter 319: The Golden Needle Darkly Crosses (4)
Chen Yan's heart suddenly sank.
He immediately stood up and said with a cold face: "Before introducing it to the nobleman, is this what Mr. Zhou gave me?"
Zhou Xiucai looked surprised and said, "What's wrong with this? If you brothers want to gain a foothold in the capital, they always have to find a backer. If it weren't for being in a relationship with Brother Chen, I wouldn't like to worry about this... As for your Yue family, it's just a dilapidated house. I don't know which one to rely on, so where can I pick up my brother?"
Chen Yan said seriously: "Mr. Zhou is kind, Chen is grateful... but now he is living in the capital and is focused on preparing for the exam, but he is really unwilling to cling to noble people..."
Zhou Xiucai's face looked a little ugly: "Brother Chen is annoying me?"
After living in the neighborhood for half a year, Zhou Xiucai realized that Chen Yan was not a pedantic personality, but a very ambitious young man, but now the opportunity has come, he looks disdainful. What is this to do?
How can a person's temperament change just by saying something? Is it not giving him face?
Chen Yan shook his head and said, "It's me that's wrong first. Zhou Xianggong was not an ordinary person, but Chen Yan overestimated himself as a confidant friend. Now he has learned a lesson, so he should."
In a word, Sammi Zhou felt embarrassed.
He was diligent in studying, but he had no talent, so he admired those who were good at studying. Before, he had interacted with Chen Yan, but he did not deliberately use it, but he really admired him. Because he was a young juren, he had some intention of speculating and showing good intentions, but he was a little sincere. But he pulled the line from it and let Chen Yan "written on behalf of others" really hide something.
Zhou Xiucai took a little bit of compliment and said, "Don't be upset with Brother Chen. Although Brother Wei didn't say this clearly before, he did not have the intention to harm Brother Chen... If someone else spoke, Brother Wei would never pull Brother Chen in. It was really a noble person's arrangement. For Brother Chen, it may not be a bad thing. It is no problem to say that fame and fortune are not worth mentioning..."
He did not explicitly talk about his identity as a noble man, but he had already tempted him.
Chen Yan could only smile bitterly: "I still thanked Mr. Zhou, but Chen was determined to study books and had no intention of taking care of others... If Mr. Zhou was trusting, Chen would continue to do his best. If there were any offenses, please forgive me for my youth." At the end of his speech, he had already bowed to the end.
Zhou Xiucai was determined to pull Chen Yan's life was not very spacious and he was going to get married at the end of the year. Unexpectedly, he didn't appreciate it and didn't even want to do anything to him.
Although Zhou Xiucai was just a scholar, the Zhou family was an old household in Mingshifang. If it were someone else, he would have been annoyed if he was ungrateful. However, Chen Yan's lower body was so relaxed and he had a vague plea. He was wrong again, and even if he was angry, he would not be able to do so.
Chen Yan did not want to participate in the fight between the powerful and the powerful, but he did not want to offend Zhou Xiucai for nothing. Then he proposed Xiao Zhou to ease him.
A strong dragon does not suppress the local snake, let alone he is not a "crossing river dragon" at all.
As for Zhou Xianggong's kindness, if you can "take your own initiative" once, there will be the next time.
Chen Yan knew that their brothers were very weak and could not afford to be the so-called "noble man". He could regard the top scholar as a joke and sell "fake books" in the capital, but he could be regarded as a "noble man".
But now civil servants rule the country and nobles are all raised, and they are afraid that the censors will impeach.
If you are a person who is responsible for protecting your shortcomings, then you will let someone with a connection with the top scholar be a "gunner". Your mind is dark and weird, and you are also in case of something big. Otherwise, you will ignore it, why bother to find such a "gunner" specifically.
Since he is afraid, he will lose responsibility. When things get bigger, he is Chen Yan who is the one who takes the jar.
Chen Yan is not stupid, why would he still be with such a "noble man"?
In Chaoyang Gate, there was originally a prosperous place in the city, and the book shops there were not owned by ordinary people.
As the Minister of Justice, it is not difficult to send someone to inquire about the owner of the book shop. The owner behind the book shop is Zhang Yanling, the best among the nobles today.
"It turned out to be him, and it's not surprising." Chen Cang said to Shen Rui: "In early March, a censor impeached Jianchangbo for the purpose of this bookstore. The crime of selling the books that hindered the weather and insulted the moral character. Now Jianchangbo has printed Confucian books, but this is the seal method."
Shen Rui said curiously: "Bo Jianchang is a family of relatives, so shouldn't he be more cautious in his actions? Why dare he offend the old court officials for small profits?"
Chen Cang stroked his beard and said, "If it is an offense, it is an offense. If the relatives and civil officials of the foreigners are good at making a bunch of money, then the emperor should be the one who can't sleep. As for money, no one is idle? The shops in the capital, the farms in Baoding Prefecture, and the Zhang family are still in charge. It's almost the same as the ones who are full of braids. There is a greedy and stupid foreigner who can rest assured in the inside and outside."
It's just an emperor's mind.
When Shen Rui heard this, his heart was calm.
With Xie Qian, the old master, standing in front of him, Wang Hua, and Shen Li, they were nothing.
Xie Qian? As long as you are in power today, you will be as stable as Mount Tai. This "fake book" storm cannot reveal any storms
Within two days, a "good story" came out.
When Xie Qian and Xie Ge Lao were very impressed by the "fake works" behind the collection of essays signed by him, he not only did not pursue the other party's "impersonation", but when he learned that the other party was also from Yuyao, he was a member of the side tribe who passed the Ministry of Rites exam last year, he attached great importance to it and asked someone to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to settle.
For a moment, many scholars sighed and hated that they were not from Yuyao or from Xie clan.
With Xie Qian's "Pearls and Jades in the Forefront", other top scholars are also inevitably attracted attention. The collection of top scholars published this time is a set of top scholars, including all the top scholars in the dynasty.
However, the "audiences" were disappointed, and the other top scholars did not make any noise.
Shen Rui watched coldly and understood that if others accept the "gunman", they are suspected of "imitating the enemy"; if they do not accept it, in contrast, they will seem to be ruthless. They are not pleased, but Yu Qian ignores it.
The collection of the top scholar who was silenced the desk was the one sent by Shen Rui.
Chen Li was a little interested and read the articles behind him. He was a little disappointed and complained to Shen Rui: "This is too foolish. Even if you want to make a fake, you have to find a decent gunman and come out...
Shen Rui's own article was criticized by Yang Tinghe, but he didn't think that Chen Yan was really undesirable. The top scholar was Wen Kui, and their vision was higher than that of ordinary people.
Just thinking about the spring exam of the next year, Shen Rui said: "Sixth Brother, how is Chen Yan's articles so good? Which subject in the next year is hopeful?"
Chen Li frowned and thought for a while, but he didn't respond for a while.
"The sixth brother is not sure, either? Can you go up or down?" Shen Rui said in surprise.
To be honest, it was enough to surprise Shen Rui to pass the imperial examination in the previous exam. After all, when he was in Songjiang, he was not even a student, but just an appendix.
If the provincial examination is really so easy, the Juren will not be called "Jin Juren" by the world.
Chen Li shook his head and said, "Not. I think of who was the chief examiner of the Nanzhili Township Examination last year. If he was a juren from other provinces, his level would be unreasonable... Jiangnan is a place where scholars gather, and he always feels that he is still lacking in such a time. If there is no inside story, I can only say that Chen Yan's luck is too good..."
Shen Rui thought to himself: Isn’t it good luck? The young man lost his father, but his brothers were so successful in making fame. When he couldn’t stay in Songjiang, he could become a juren when he arrived in Nanjing, and then he got the Qiao family and became the Yue family. If Master Qiao had no official complaints and Mrs. Qiao had not passed away, and Master Qiao San had the resume and qualifications of Jiangnan, he would definitely be promoted, and it was a reliance.
The top scholars were silent, waiting for the fun to watch the fun and bought a "fake collection of essays" with the names of the other top scholars, and they thought they really thought. It was not that other masters did not take the younger generation, but that was the ordinary articles of other "gunmen".
For a moment, fewer people envied the Xie clan, and more people laughed at other "gunners".
Even in Nancheng Academy, the scholars mentioned this matter with a sour smell: "It turned out to be Jianchang Bo's bookstore, no wonder he had such a big deal. Not to mention anything else, even the real articles in front of him would not have been collected so well if Jianchang Bo had not come forward. As for the dogtail marten behind him, it would be better if he didn't mention it, I don't know which boy's ancestor burned Gaoxiang. After such an encounter, he was a fool and made a mess of articles. Otherwise, wouldn't he be a visitor to the top scholar's mansion?"
Chen knew the inside story and heard it so hard that he grinded his teeth.
If he had to stand up immediately in his early years, he now knew the importance. He had already asked Chen Yan to tell him that he would not be able to publicize this matter.
Now it is rumored that the fakes of several "gunners" were also rumored by the red-eyed scholars who wished they could pick the wrong words one by one and belittle them into the dust. While holding their anger, they also secretly glad that fortunately outsiders didn't know that one of them was Chen Yan, otherwise their brothers would not be able to gain a foothold in Nancheng Academy.
As for Shen Rui and Chen Jue who were familiar with the matter, Chen was only worried for a moment and put it behind his head. If the two brothers were really malicious to their brothers, they would not be a small braid. If they were worried about them, it would be better to worry about Sammi Zhou.
While he was humble, he was worried about the impact of this incident on his brother.
After the initial panic, Chen Yan calmed down. What he was embarrassed about was the conditions proposed by Shen Rui.
He could see that Shen Rui said this, not intentionally embarrassing himself, but rather expressing his attitude on behalf of the Shangshu Mansion. Although the ancestors of the two families are of the same origin, they are separated by human lives and have only hatred but no kindness. Even if they are not intentionally embarrassing the two brothers, the Shangshu Mansion has no intention of giving grace. It is also for the purpose of not being in agreement in the future.
Now he has made a famous "fake" again. Although Chen Li has not yet pursued it, it does not mean that Chen Li doesn't know about this. Although Chen Yan has not had much contact with Shen Rui, he also knows that Shen Rui studied with Chen Li when he was filial to his mother in Songjiang in his early years. Is it worth mentioning that there is a long and close relationship?
Master Qiao San "respected" him and insisted on marrying his daughter because he was from Songjiang and had his surname Chen. Zhou Xiucai cheated him and pulled him into the game of powerful people, which was also the case.
Is the father and grandfather’s insistence correct?
Speaking of which, before Songjiang Shen’s family became famous, they were just ordinary families…
