Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

The scholar of the Hanlin Academy was named Jiang. He was in his thirties, had a beard, and had the most traditional appearance of a thin scholar in the Dayu Dynasty.

Jiang Xu, a student from the Imperial College who often visited Li Ji Hotpot Restaurant, was his son.

When Han Zheng arrived at the place, he first saluted to Master Jiang, and then sat on the chair as he requested.

Lunch has been served, with four dishes, one soup, and two bowls of rice.

Scholar Jiang took the lead in picking up the rice, and then motioned Han Zheng to start eating. "Every time a newcomer comes to the Hanlin Academy, I have to eat with him, so you don't have to be too restrained. Today we are just chatting."

Han Zheng responded with a "OK" and picked up the bowl and chopsticks under the gaze of Master Jiang.

The two ate in silence for a quarter of an hour.

*

Eat it.

They both put down their bowls and chopsticks.

Master Jiang wiped his mouth and said, "I heard someone was giving you a hard time this morning."

Han Zheng told the truth: "It's not a difficult situation. It was Dong Jiantao who wanted me to follow him to compile the national history. But I just entered the Hanlin Academy and there are many things I need to familiarize myself with, so I rejected his proposal. I hope you won't mind, Mr. Scholar."

Scholar Jiang raised his eyelids and looked at Han Zheng for a while, then said, "You are right. Why should I blame you?"

Han Zheng: “…”

Scholar Jiang said, "We have a large number of people in the Hanlin Academy, and everyone has their own responsibilities. For now, you just need to do your own job well, and don't worry about anything else. I will find time to talk to you all in the afternoon."

Han Zheng: "Your Excellency is wise."

Scholar Jiang's purpose of looking for Han Zheng for dinner was to see how he was doing. Seeing that he was not affected, he said with confidence: "You are the youngest number one scholar in this dynasty. His Majesty values ​​you. You must train hard in the future and never let His Majesty down."

"I understand. Thank you, Master, for the reminder." Han Zheng stood up and bowed deeply.

*

When walking out of Mr. Jiang's room, Han Zheng ran into Dong Jianti head-on.

Dong Jiantao snorted coldly.

Following Dong Jiantao was Song Jiantao, who was responsible for compiling the national history together with Dong Jiantao.

Song Jiankai's temper was much better than Dong Jiankai's. When he saw Han Zheng, he bowed politely.

Han Zheng nodded to him, then walked away.

Song Jiantao watched Han Zheng leave and sighed, "When I was fifteen, I was still a scholar, but Han Xiuzhuan was already the top scholar. People are really incomparable."

He passed the examination and became a scholar when he was thirteen years old. At that time, people around him said that he was a child prodigy. He was very complacent when hearing that. But now, when compared with Han Xiuzhuan, he just felt embarrassed.

Dong Jiantao couldn't stand hearing people praising Han Zheng, and his beard trembled with anger. "He is nothing, he just happened to be the top scholar. He is just a person who can only talk back to others. Just wait and see, he will definitely go to jail one day."

When Song Jiantao heard this, his brows unconsciously frowned.

Han Xiuzhuan was personally selected as the top scholar by His Majesty. Is Dong Jiantao questioning His Majesty's judgment? He is really outspoken! He also cursed people to go to jail, which is really vicious.

Fearing that he would be implicated for no reason, Song reviewed and said, "I suddenly remembered that I wrote a word wrong, so I won't accompany Brother Dong here any more. Goodbye."

After he finished speaking, he walked away quickly, so fast that it seemed as if there was a vicious dog chasing him.

Dong reviewed: "......"

After a moment of silence, he hummed again and said to himself, "When the Third Prince becomes the Crown Prince, I will kill that Han first."

Then he will squeeze out the current Hanlin Academy scholars.

He passed the imperial examination and was admitted to the Hanlin Academy in his thirties, and it has been more than twenty years since then.

Over the years, his qualifications have increased, but he has not been promoted, which makes him extremely dissatisfied.

Now his chance has come.

Shangshu Huang told him that as long as he found a way to embarrass Han Xiuzhuan and kill him, he would become a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

He must seize this rare opportunity. Although he is old, his heart is young and he still wants to achieve great things.

Han Zheng returned to his seat, squinted his eyes and rested for a while. When he thought his mind was completely clear, he got up and started working.

Because it was the first day, the other people in the room were unsure of his temperament and didn't talk to him much.

Han Zheng was not in a hurry. This was a new environment and he, too, needed time to adapt, not to mention others.

*

The afternoon passed quickly. In the evening, Han Zheng finished reading the last ceremonial article and prepared to go home.

At this time, someone suddenly came over and said, "Han Xiuzhuan, the scholar said that there is an urgent article for you to write for the sacrifice to heaven."

Han Zheng looked at the time.

It was now 2:00 PM, time to go home. It seemed like the other people in the same room with him had already run away as soon as the hour of You arrived.

Han Zheng looked at the messenger and asked, "What did you say about the topic, Mr. Scholar?"

"Yes." The man pulled out a neatly folded paper from his sleeve. "The Master Bachelor asked you to follow what is written here."

Han Zheng took it and looked at it, only to see a few key words written on it.

"The scholar said that this is urgent. You must write it well and quickly. He wants to see it early tomorrow morning." The messenger carefully reminded, "Han Xiuzhuan, do you need me to light a candle for you?"

Han Zheng closed his eyes for a while, then said, "No, I'll go home and write. I don't need to stay here."

The messenger's eyes suddenly changed, "Han Xiuzhuan, this is urgent, can you finish it at home? If you don't write it here, no one will disturb you."

Han Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at him, "Do you really want me to write here?"

The messenger hastily denied, "Not really. I'm just worried that Han Xiuzhuan won't be able to finish writing at home, and will be scolded by the scholar tomorrow. You just arrived, so you probably don't know the scholar's temper. He is the most straightforward. If you don't do it according to his requirements, you will definitely be scolded tomorrow."

Han Zheng said: "Thank you for your concern, but I don't need it. I said I can do it well at home, and I really can do it well. So goodbye."

After he finished speaking, Han Zheng walked around the person who delivered the message and left calmly.

The messenger: "......"

*

Before leaving, Han Zheng walked towards Bachelor Jiang's room.

The messenger's behavior was too strange, so he was worried and had to come and ask in person.

But unfortunately, Mr. Jiang had already left.

Han Zheng touched the note, looked at the dark house not far away, and had to turn around and leave.

Because it was the first day, Li Yu and Lu Xuan came together to pick up Han Zheng.

After getting in the car and sitting down, Li Yu first asked Lu Xuan about what he saw and heard in the Hanlin Academy today.

Han Zheng said everything was fine.

When he discussed the matter with Dong in the morning, he told Su Yi that there was no need to tell Mr. Su. As long as Mr. Su didn't know, his second sister-in-law wouldn't know either.

He has grown up and can't always make his second sister-in-law worry about him.

Li Yu had no doubt about Han Zheng's answer.

When she returned home, she introduced Fang Erya's family and Madam Mu to Han Zheng.

Han Zheng just said a few words like "I'll trouble you all in the future" and let it go.

*

The next day, because he didn't have to attend the morning court, Han Zheng got up an hour and a half later than the previous day.

After the meal, Lu Xuan was the one who saw him off again, but this time, Father Fang was there too.

According to Li Yu's arrangement, Fang's father started to remember time and location from today, and also learned to drive a horse.

From now on, he will be responsible for picking up and dropping off Han Zheng.

Fang's mother and Mrs. Mu cleaned the house and did the laundry.

Li Yu watched at home for a while, and seeing that they were doing their job efficiently, he went to the barbecue restaurant with peace of mind.

The weather was bad today. Halfway through the walk, it suddenly started raining.

He didn't take a carriage today and didn't have anything to shelter himself from the rain. In order to get to the store as quickly as possible, Li Yu had to buy an umbrella from a roadside store.

Then she held an umbrella and rushed to the store against the sudden strong wind.

But just as she was about to reach Taiping Street, a carriage came rushing towards her.
