Someone came back from the border town, and a letter from the general was received at the princess' mansion. ([]Piaotian Literature registered member recommends this work.) Xia Yu handed the letter to Xia Ying. Xia Ying looked at the letter, her brows furrowed into knots. Xia Ying feels unhappy every time she hears a letter from the general. Because as soon as the general received a letter, the princess would be depressed for several days. It¡¯s probably no surprise this time.
Wen Wan took the thick letter and looked at what Bai Shinian had done in the letter recently. In any case, it is to report good news but not bad news.
After reading the letter, Wen Wan felt a little impatient. After Bai Shinian wrote the letter, he talked about the Mingguang Imperial Examination. If Wen Wan can help me more, I will help you more. It is also a matter of the child¡¯s lifetime.
Wen Wan shook her head. She had already shown Mr. Fang last time, what else do you want from her? Did she have to force Mr. Fang to guide Mingguang every day? This doesn't bother her.
Wenwan put down the letter and leaned on the desk. Bai Shinian's meaning is obvious, he also hopes that Mingguang can pass the examination and then enter the official position from the imperial examination.
Wen Wan sat in her seat, thinking quietly. From the fact that Mingguang wanted to take the imperial examination, Wenwan thought about what Mingjin would do in the future. Mingrui wants to be a general, has a goal, and is still fighting for it. Mingjin, on the other hand, seems to be living day by day and enjoying happiness day by day. Even though she is working so hard now, she also listened to Mingrui's words and said she would protect him in the future. Mingjin has no goals for the future and is just muddle along. Mingjin is not sensible now, but as a mother, she needs guidance. But what will Mingjin do in the future? Are you also engaged in imperial examinations? Ming Jin was engaged in the imperial examination.
Wen Wan put the letter on the table and said to Xia Ying: "When you are free, please come over." If you have anything to do, please come to the study.
Xia Ying was a little strange, so she asked Mr. Fang to come over and do something. Xia Ying didn't ask why: "I'll ask someone to invite Mr. Fang to come over."
Wenwan heard her husband coming. Wen Wan immediately stood up and walked out to welcome the alchemist in.
Since Fang Shitong came to the princess's mansion, his life has been quite comfortable! Money and other things are secondary. The most important thing is the atmosphere in the princess's mansion. The living standard is quite high. In addition, several children are also smart. It doesn't require much thought. The most important thing is that he can often discuss with Princess Wenwan how to teach children. It benefited him a lot. Fang Shitong has decided to improve his family's ethnic studies.
The alchemists saw Wen Wan together. He bowed and said, "What's the matter with the old man, Princess?" If you're looking for him at this time, there must be something going on. He also knows that Wen Wan is a busy person. For more than a year, Wen Wan never saw him. Chatting and drinking tea, discussing ancient and modern times, is something that has never happened before.
????????????????????????????????????????????? With a gentle smile: "Nothing else, I just want to ask sir, how is the child Mingguang? Is Qiu Wei sure about it?" If Bai Shinian hadn't written this letter. Wen Wan really doesn't have time to pay attention. It's not his son, so why would he bother to do that? However, her husband's letter mentioned that she would definitely ask a few questions. Whether it can be done, what are the qualifications, etc., it would be easier for her to reply to the letter if she has Mr. Fang.
Mr. Fang is a little embarrassed.
Wen Wan said with a smile: "Sir, it doesn't matter. For the imperial examination, you need not only talent and learning, but also luck." Wen Wan said this very casually. Originally, it didn't matter whether she passed the examination or not. .
??Fang Shitong then said: "I'm afraid this science will fail because the heat is not enough." These were Fang Shitong's tactful words. According to Fang Shitong, Mingguang's foundation is too weak. Both subjects are hopeless. As for the future, he wasn't sure.
Wenwan understood as soon as he heard it, not only in this subject, but also in the next subject. There are so many talented people in the capital. Only 300 people were selected, and those who passed the exam are all talented people! Wen Wan was a little hesitant to really let Mingjin take this path. It seems that this is not a good path: "Sir, Mingrui wants to be a military general, and I have nothing to say about his own choice. But Mingjin, I still don't know what this child plans to do when he grows up. Sir, do you think Mingjin can take the imperial examination? "What Wen Wan actually asked was whether Mingjin has the qualifications to become an official.
Fang Shitong was greatly surprised: "The princess plans to let the second young master take the imperial examination?" Wen Wan had said before that she had no intention of letting her child take the imperial examination.
Wen Wan smiled and said: "I just suddenly had this idea today. The higher the age of a noble family, the more it declines. The two brothers Mingrui and Mingjin are definitely rich and prosperous, and they are not playboys. But always Can't they live like this for the rest of their lives? What about their descendants? Is it different from raising pigs every day? Sir, if Mingjin has this qualification, I want him to try it. . Not to mention how big an official he will be in the future, being able to pass the Jinshi examination will also set an example for future generations and show them a path to pursue in the future. "If Mingjin can enter the imperial examination, he will have this. The atmosphere will be excellent for future generations.
Although the status of military attach¨¦s is lower than that of civilian officials,But since Mingjin himself wants to join the army like Mingrui, Wenwan will definitely not interfere. But the kid was obviously not interested in this road. There are no plans for the future. He is working so hard now because of Mingrui's encouragement. It's not that he really wants to learn martial arts. Unlike Mingrui, Mingjin has no ideas for the future, let alone plans. Then the mother-in-law will naturally plan for his future. Of course, the prerequisite is that Mingjin has this qualification and level. As for interest, Wenwan can guide it. But if she doesn't have the qualifications, Wen Wan doesn't want to waste her efforts. Don't let your children study hard for ten or twenty years, only to accomplish nothing in the end and become a nerd.
After hearing Wen Wan's words, Fang Shitong already knew what Wen Wan meant. The eldest son took the path of a military attache, and the second son took the path of a civil servant. Fang Shitong nodded and said: "The second young master is extremely smart. If the princess has this intention, I think it can be achieved." Fang Shitong had heard from Wen Wan that he had no intention of letting his child take the imperial examination. He just guided a few kids. Now that Wen Wan is willing to let Ming Jin take the scientific examination, that would be perfect. According to Fang Shitong's opinion, Mingjin is very smart and learns things quickly. As long as you work hard for several years, it is not difficult to pass the imperial examination and become an official.
Wen Wan still has concerns: "Sir, I'll be honest. I didn't have this idea before, because civil servants have always rejected military generals. You also know. My husband is a military general, and Mingrui will also take this path in the future. I'm worried that if Mingjin takes this path, it will hinder his future. Sir, do you think it will hinder Mingjin?" Wen Wan thinks long term, if Mingrui becomes a general in the future. After taking over the military power, it is foreseeable that Mingjin Congwen will be suppressed by the emperor. Another point is that the Bai family is a meritorious family. Mingjin followed the civil service, and Wen Wan was worried that he would encounter resistance from civil servants.
Mr. Fang said with a smile: "The princess's worries are not unreasonable. Jun Ma is a military commander. If Mingjin only talks about Jun Ma, there will definitely be obstacles for Mingjin to become a civil servant. But why did the princess forget about herself? I won¡¯t tell you what kind of person Mr. Song is. Just because of the princess¡¯s prestige among the scholars, there will be no obstacles for Ming Jin to follow the imperial examination. As long as Mingjin passes the exam with real talent and study, there will be no obstacles at all. "As long as Mingjin passes the exam based on his own ability, others will only praise him step by step from scholar to scholar. . Will not reject. Civil servants reject those who come from meritorious families. That's because they studied hard in their humble beginnings and passed the exams, but these people are still on an equal footing with them after they donated their official positions happily.
Wen Wan smiled after hearing this: "Thank you, sir." Wen Wan really didn't take these reputations to heart. It's not that Wen Wan exaggerated, but Wen Wan always felt that he deserved it. So automatically ignored. Little did she know that she could interact with so many great scholars, receive praise from them, and that she had done so many things, and that she would already have a place in the literary world. This position is enough for Mingjin to use. Furthermore, if Mingjin went up from the imperial examination step by step, others would have nothing to say. After all, it was Han Chuang who studied hard.
Seeing Wen Wan thinking, Mr. Fang couldn't help but smile and said: "Princess. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, every meritorious family that has never declined has sought a new path through the imperial examination. Princess is now doing such a profound thing for Mingjin and his descendants." His plan really makes me admire him."
Wen Wan is ashamed. She also got inspiration from Bai Shinian's letters. Wen Wan thought that if Mingjin didn't take up martial arts, he would just take up literature. Even if there are obstacles in the future, it still gives Mingjin a way to have a goal to strive for. If not. Mingrui has a lofty goal. Mingjin has been in a daze all day and is being led by Mingrui. He will inevitably complain when he is beaten in the future, so he asks this question. As for future generations, the same thing is said. I didn't think so far. She planned for them when she was alive, but when she died, she turned into ashes and didn't care about future generations.
Mr. Fang looked a little confused when he saw Wen Wan: "Is the princess worried that the general and Mingrui taking over military power will affect Mingjin?"
Wen Wan is really worried about this. Although I wanted to give Mingjin a way out, I was worried that Mingjin would be implicated because of them if he studied literature in the future and passed the exam. Mingjin would complain in the future, so the mother's heart kept thinking: "Yes." Not only Bai Shinian, she was also in charge of military power! After touching the Wu people, they still want to touch the Wen people. They want to take advantage of all the good things in the world.
Mr. Fang also thinks this is a problem: "Actually, the princess doesn't have to worry. No one can predict what will happen in the future. And as long as the general hands over the military power, it will be fine in ten years. Even if Mingrui takes the military power, leave it alone. It won't affect Mingjin's future. If Mingjin really wants to get a job, he needs to go through qualifications. It's better to be promoted immediately if he has no military merit. Besides, the princess is focused on future generations. In the past thirty or forty years, his influence in the military has also weakened. "
He nodded gently, feeling that what the alchemist said made sense.
Mr. Fang nodded when he saw Wen Wan: "Princess, do you want to adjust Mingjin's curriculum?" If you really want to take the imperial examination, this will not work. If this is the caseYou will never pass the test in your lifetime. From now on, he will have to focus mainly on Mingjin.
Wen Wan thought for a while and then said: "We will wait until next year to discuss everything."
Mr. Fang was a little surprised as to why we had to wait until next year. But seeing that Wen Wan had no intention of saying anything more, he didn't feel comfortable asking. However, Mr. Fang calculated that Mingjin is a quick learner and has enough background in enlightenment at an early age. He'll only be eight next year, so it's not too late. Well, Mr. Fang decided to use all his power to train Mingjin. From now on, he will be the successor of his mantle.
The soft light shines on Wen Wan's body, as if it were covered with a layer of red gauze, making it extraordinarily beautiful. Mingjin lay on his side on the bed, quietly listening to Wen Wan sitting under the bed telling stories.
Wen Wan has found the way to let Mingjin take part in the imperial examination, so the story she is telling now naturally focuses on the imperial examination. They all talk about the top pick, second place pick, third overall pick, etc. The person who speaks most gently is not the number one scholar. On the contrary, it is the third flower. Tan Hwa Lang is handsome and romantic.
Mingjin was now questioning: "Mom, don't they all say that the number one scholar is good? Why do you prefer Tanhua Lang?" Reading books say that the number one scholar is the best.
Wen Wan said with a smile: "My mother likes it, whether he is the number one scholar or the most beautiful man. Mingjin, your brother wants to be a general, what about you? Do you want to be the number one scholar or the most beautiful man?" Wen Wan said It took Mingjin along this road. As long as Mingjin has this idea. Gradually there is a direction to work towards, which is great.
Mingjin thought for a long time, not thinking about what to do: "Mom, do you like the Number One Scholar or the Tanhua Lang? The master is the Number One Scholar, and the teacher is the Tanhua Lang. I think both are fine." These warm words Even if he didn't say it politely, the people below would tell him. Mingjin really feels that there is no difference between Tanhualang and Zhuangyuan Gong.
After hearing this, Wen Wan hurriedly said: "Then let's be a prostitute." Don't imitate her teacher. It is better to learn from Alchemist Tong.
Mingjin was puzzled: "Wouldn't it be better to be the number one scholar? Why does mother want me to be the first prize hunter?" This is like modern parents who want their son to be ranked third in the exam, not first. Can it be surprising?
Wen Wan laughed and said: "The champions are basically old men. The youngest ones are in their thirties or forties. But Tanhualang is different. Tanhualang are all handsome, charming young men. Mingjin , then do you think it is better to be the Number One Scholar or the Third Flower Man?" Wen Wan means that it takes many years to pass the exam. But Tan Hwa Lang is very young.
Mingjin said cheerfully: "Okay. Mom, then I will be the prostitute in the future. My brother will be the general, so I will be the prostitute." He didn't want to wait until he became his father-in-law and then win the first prize in the exam.
The next day, Mingjin asked her husband about the imperial examination. Mr. Fang said something more tempting to Mingjin: "If you can win the first prize, you will be comparable to Mingrui's general. Then the princess will have a pair of sons with both civil and military skills. After all, the princess has a lot of face. Light." Mr. Fang also took Mingjin to the imperial examination.
Mingjin clenched his fists: "Sir, I want to be a beauty hunter." Mingjin is not interested in being a general. He practices martial arts with his brother to protect his mother. Since being a prostitute can protect your mother well, then take the exam and pass the exam as a prostitute in the future.
Mr. was overjoyed. But he was very strange: "Why Tanhualang? It's better to get the top prize. That's the best thing."
Mingjin shook his head: "No, my mother said that those who won the top prize are all old men, so I don't want to take the test with gray hair. Tanhualang is a young man. So, I want to take the test for Tanhualang." Mingjin found out later. , his mother completely deceived him.
¡°Whether it¡¯s number one or third overall, it¡¯s a very lofty ideal. The student told me that he wanted to adjust his classes. Learn from him. Mingjin naturally agreed.
"It's a pity that Wen Wan refused to agree, saying that he couldn't miss the practice. Finally, I put it together and decided to practice Qigong every afternoon and study with my husband at other times.
Mingjin later found out that he was completely tricked by his mother. Is Tanhualang so easy to take the exam? After that, I studied with a strict teacher for many years, and Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years. It is really a history of blood and tears.
Wenwan felt relieved when she saw that Mingjin¡¯s mind was now focused on testing Hwarang. No matter what the future holds, it's good that my son has a goal to strive for. It was better than before when Mingrui forced him to study and practice martial arts.
Even the emperor knew about Mingjin¡¯s ambitious goal. The emperor was surprised: "Everyone hopes that their son will be admitted as the number one scholar? Why do you want Mingjin to be the best man?" The best man is also among the top three. If he can get into the exam, he will be very good. It just sounds better than Zhuang Yuan Gong.
Wen Wan smiled and said: "Uncle Emperor, you also said that the number one scholar and Tan Hua Lang are the number one scholar. Zhuang Yuan Gong, at first glance, means an old person. Tan Hua Lang is the young man!" Wen Wan is indeed in a good mood, Mr. Fang He already had the intention to pass on the mantle to Mingjin. Just?Mingjin works hard to make progress and has all kinds of generous resources. Tanhualang encouraged Mingjin. It's really not just a fantasy to be a second-class person in the future. The child will also have a good name when he becomes an official in the future.
The emperor was laughed at by Wen Wan. After talking about gossip, let¡¯s talk about business. Wen Wan listened and sometimes nodded, and sometimes gave some advice: "Uncle Emperor, what I mean is that before you go to the border town, you should tell the people from the capital about the things that are easy to encounter when going to the border town, such as being unaccustomed to the climate, getting fever there, etc. All inappropriate illnesses should be taken into account, and then the imperial physician should prepare the medicine as appropriate as possible. "The emperor's travel is no small matter and must be done properly.
The emperor smiled: "You girl you're done." The emperor didn't blame Wen Wan for being mouthy, but Wen Wan always thought more comprehensively. I won¡¯t stop talking just because of taboos. This is why he relies more and more on gentleness. There are fewer and fewer people around me who tell the truth. More and more people are flattering. It is said that it is cold at high places, but the emperor has really experienced it now. Standing at high places is getting more and more lonely. The emperor finally understood why the late emperor loved Wen Wan so much in his later years. Because although Wen Wan is extremely intelligent, she is also scheming. But in front of her loved ones, Wenwan never uses any means.
The emperor was pleased that Wen Wan's admiration for him had not changed in twenty years. The late emperor was right, Wen Wan has a pure heart. It is very precious to him who is now living in the cold.
Bai Shihua received Bai Shinian's letter and saw that Bai Shinian said in the letter that he had told Wen Wan and asked Mr. Fang to give more guidance. He immediately gave the letter to the eldest lady.
The eldest lady read the letter and glared at Bai Shihua: "Do you know what you are doing? Ah? Do you feel that your life is too leisurely?"
Bai Shihua felt that Qinghe was confused.
The eldest lady basically yelled: "Do you have any brains? Here Wen Wan has asked Mingguang to ask Mr. Fa for advice. It was Mr. Fang who said that he would be free on the first and middle days of each month. Now you ask the sixth brother to specially What do you think of Wen Wan when you write a letter about it? She will think that we are dissatisfied, and she will think that we do not know what is good or bad. .
Bai Shihua really didn¡¯t expect it to be so far-term.
The eldest lady was so angry that her heart ached: "You are stupid and you still don't admit it. Look at all the things you have done? It really makes me angry." How could she have the nerve to see Wen Wen next time? Wan. Let alone say anything.
Bai Shihua drooped his head: "What should we do?"
The eldest lady said angrily: "What else can I do? Of course I went to apologize. Just tell Wen Wan that this is what you wrote to your sixth brother at the beginning of the year. The letter is late."
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????,.,.,.,.,,,,,, can't. In fact, when Wen Wan was busy in the past, she didn't have time to see the eldest lady. The eldest lady didn't think anything either. This time I felt guilty, feeling that Wen Wan didn't see her because she felt uncomfortable. It made her uneasy for a while. It wasn't until Mingguang went to look for Mr. Fang again that Mingguang breathed a sigh of relief when he said everything was normal.
Mingrui wiped it with a handkerchief: "I wonder if my mother is talking about me?" She said while looking at the blue sky outside. He has been away from home for nearly a month and he misses home. I miss my mother and my brother Mingjin very much. I don¡¯t know how they are doing, or if they are thinking about me the same way.
Mingrui thought about Mingjin and smiled and said to Xia Yao: "Mingjin loves to cry so much. I wonder if he will cry desperately if he can't see me."
?? And I cried non-stop for most of the day.
Mingrui thought about his cute little brother and couldn't help but laugh again: "Mingjin may not come to Haikou until the end of the year. This time when I go to Haikou, I will also tell him these things. It's time for Mingjin to grow up." Mingrui Different gentleness. Mingrui thinks these things should be told to Mingjin, because he is a member of the family. The family is in danger, and Mingjin has the right to know. Only when you know it can you grow up.
Xia Yao lowered her head and did not respond. Whether he should tell Mingjin or not depends on what the princess wants. As for Mingrui, she had to tell him, but she didn't stop him.
Mingrui took the boat for a month, and Mingrui couldn't help but ask Guan Erlang: "Uncle Guan, how many days will it take to arrive?" It's been more than half a month's journey, and we should be almost there. I remember that Guan Erlang took more than half a month to arrive last time.
Guan Erlang said with a smile: "It's fast, it's fast. At this speed, we will be able to reach the shore in five or six days." After landing, it will take two or three days of horseback riding to reach Haikou. Originally, the boat could go directly to Haikou, but Guan Erlang still had to do something. So we have to get off the boat halfway.
Mingrui smiled and said, "Of course it's official business." Anyway, he was not in a hurry, so he just took in the scenery along the way
