Chapter 3339 Running errands

Zhou Lang was still arranging the things he brought back in the front yard. After all the luggage was arranged, he ran over to Mr. Zhuang and said, "Sir, it's still early. I'm going to go find Mr. Yang to ask about the situation?"

"Go ahead."

Zhou Lang ran to find Yang Mansion, but couldn't find anyone, so he went to the household department in the imperial city to look for him, and finally found someone.

Yang Heshu handed the admission notice and note to Zhou Lang and warned: "You come back just in time. They just entered school yesterday. Let's take a short rest today and start school tomorrow. Being too late will not only make a bad impression on the gentlemen, but also the classmates."

It also ruins the image in front of me..."

Zhou Lang responded, "I really got in."

Yang Heshu smiled. There is a "Picture of the Sage and Laozi" that can be handed down from generation to generation. Not to mention offering wine to Confucius, you can go through the emperor's back door.

But if he wanted to see it, it would be easiest to go through the prince's back door.

There is no need for "Pictures of Sages and Laozi". Based on Mr. Zhuang's teachings to the prince over the years, as long as he opens his mouth, the East Palace will definitely be willing to sell him a favor. Zhuang Jiran also agreed with the situation, and it is within the scope of admission to the Imperial College.

If Dong Gong opens his mouth, the Imperial College will definitely not refuse again.

But Mr. Zhuang just doesn't want Dong Gong to interfere. He is wholeheartedly devoted to his students.

This matter is not a secret in the capital. On the 25th, the Imperial College announced the list of officials and officials’ children enrolling this year.

Zhuang Jiran was enrolled in the Imperial Academy. Among the group of young people aged nineteen and twenty, he was considered very old.

Moreover, behind each person's name is written their place of residence and who they are affected by...

Zhuang Xun is now the Prince's Young Master. As soon as his name appeared, everyone couldn't help but pay more attention.

This attention revealed a problem.

"At this age...didn't it mean that there were so many students enrolling this year that all the officials' children who were too young to meet the age limit were rejected?"

"This is the first time that Mr. Zhuang has recommended someone to enroll in school. He is also his direct grandson. Maybe the Imperial College may not be able to sell him well."

"Tang Xiang recommended a nephew this year, and the age limit was too high. The Imperial College rejected him rudely as usual. If the Prime Minister is treated like this, let alone Master Zhuang?"

"Did Donggong show up?"

After everyone inquired carefully, they found that Dong Gong did not come forward, but Yang Heshu did, and it was Bai Shan who invited Yang Heshu.

I wonder why everyone knows so much about it?

That was of course because Kong Jijiu got the "Picture of the Sage and Laozi", and he was so excited that he invited his friends to come and enjoy it together.

"This painting..."

Everyone's expressions went blank for a moment when they saw this painting.

This is a very famous painting, so famous that before it appeared, countless people in the world were looking for it, and after it appeared, countless people stared at it.

A collector even wrote a biography secretly, indicating that the painting was in the hands of Bai Shan, the fourth roommate of the Bai family in Longzhou.

So when they suddenly found out that it was in the hands of Kong Jijiu, everyone was shocked.

The first thought of those friends who were close friends with 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 authentic product in Bai Shan's hands? I heard that Bai Shan returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors during the incident and took a full fifty days' leave."

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 natural that students should respect their teachers."

When everyone heard this, they remembered that Bai Shan was also a student of Kong Jijiu. After all, whether in the Imperial College or the Chongwen Hall, the chief officer was Kong Jijiu.

"Isn't that right? Bai Shan is not in the capital. If he sees you off before leaving the capital, can you bear to wait until now to invite us to share the reward?"

"This is what Changbo gave me."

"Yang Changbo, Yang Heshu?"

Seeing him nodding, several people were surprised. They grabbed him and asked, "Is it Yang Heshu begging you to do something, or Bai Shan begging you? Why are you willing to give out the "Pictures of Sages and Laozi"?"

Kong Jijiu ignored them and asked: "Do you still appreciate the painting? If not, I will put it away."

"Reward, reward, reward. We didn't have any friendship with Bai Zhishan before, so we couldn't come to ask for an audience. Today, it falls into your hands. I have to see everything you say."

Then the list was announced, and everyone understood it after just thinking about it.

It is well known to the whole world that Yang Heshu and Bai Shan have a close relationship. It seems that this painting was still sent by Bai Shan for the purpose of enrolling Zhuang Xun's grandson.

Everyone clicked their tongues, but it was Zhuang Xun and Kong Jijiu who were envious.

It is enviable for a teacher to be so valued by his disciples; for a teacher to also receive benefits.

For such a trivial matter, Zhuang Xun only needs to walk through the back door of the East Palace. Why does he need a "Picture of the Sage and Laozi" to open the way?

In the final analysis, it was Zhuang Xun who didn't want to let go of the prince, and Bai Shan didn't want to let go of Zhuang Xun.

If you have a disciple like this, what do you want from a teacher?

Everyone was envious of him, so even before Zhuang Jiran entered school, his name had already spread throughout the Imperial College.

Everyone wants to see what the grandson of Mr. Zhuang is like.

Yang Heshu looked up at the sky and said to Zhou Lang, "I'll go see Mr. Zhuang after I leave the office." There were some things that he had to remind Mr. Zhuang face to face.

This wind in the capital is blowing so hard and strong, who knows who is behind it and for what purpose?

Zhou Lang agreed 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 Mr. Yang tell me why Kong Jijiu agreed again?"

"No," Zhou Lang said, "but Mr. Yang will come over after he leaves the office."

Mr. Zhuang nodded.

Zhou Lang stood up and said: "Sir, I'm going to call the kitchen to prepare dinner. You've been tired all the way, so take a bath and sleep first. I'll call you when I'm about to go to the office in the afternoon."

Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, "You should also rest. You will be in charge of everything along the way."

Zhou Lang said nonchalantly: "I'm young, it's okay."

Yang Heshu went to Mr. Zhuang mainly to remind him of the public opinion in the Imperial College, "I'm afraid the rumors in the Imperial College will be noisy for a while, which will definitely be detrimental to the newly admitted students. Second Master Zhuang..."

Mr. Zhuang smiled and said: "Others 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 and talked about Bai Shan and asked with a smile, "He took a fifty-day holiday. It has already been thirty days. Where is he now?"

Mr. Zhuang counted the days and said: "I 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 turmoil in the Ministry of Industry and the DPRK. He is quite content, hiding outside Beijing and not getting involved in anything."

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 dispute over who is responsible."

Mr. Zhuang was slightly startled and asked, "What do you mean, Mr. Yang?"

"If Bai Shan writes a letter in Beijing, he can not only recommend candidates for this matter, but maybe he can take charge of it himself."

Mr. Zhuang thought for a while and then shook his head and said: "Since he chose to submit the letter at this time, he obviously had no intention of doing this. There are countless capable ministers in the court, so it is not difficult to find the person responsible."

It is not difficult, but it is not easy to win this job.
