Hearing what Lu Lingjun said, Jiang immediately became very interested.
If Lu Lingyun dared to say this, he must not be an ordinary person.
"Tomorrow, take me to have a good look at Scholar Liu."
the next day.
In the days after the results were announced, the streets were lively and joyful.
Especially those restaurants and inns where everyone gathers to live, the crowds come in waves.
Those who win over each other, those who look at each other, those who congratulate each other, those who inquire about each other, come and go.
Officials in the DPRK are divided into factions.
The civil servants' factions were even more simple, and the township party was divided into factions based on their hometown areas.
For example, the Zhejiang Party, the Fujian Party, the Gan Party, to name a few.
Of course, we also distinguish between clear currents and turbid currents.
Qingliu are those who come from noble families, from big and wealthy families, while Zhuoliu are the children from poor families who have nothing to rely on and only rely on themselves to climb up.
After a big exam like Chunwei is over, all those who pass the exam can be officials. It is the best time for various factions to win over new people and replenish their own factions.
Those candidates who failed the exam quietly left in disgrace. Those who stayed in the capital were not invited by this big family or that big official to have a drink and chat.
Just like Huiyuantong Zhengjian, who came first in the competition yesterday, he is so popular now that he has a group of people vying to win over him, and he looks impressive wherever he goes.
At this time, Zhao Ji Inn.
There are many successful candidates who live here. Most of these successful candidates will move out today because a bunch of people are waiting to pick them up to live in a better mansion.
"Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhang, our adults have prepared wine and food at our house and are waiting for you two to come to our house to talk."
The two red-faced scholars walked out surrounded by a group of servants. The servants were carrying a bunch of luggage. When they went downstairs, they met a young man with patched cuffs.
"Old Liu, you just came back!" the scholar surnamed Wang said.
"Yeah." The young man with patched cuffs rubbed his shoulders and let the dust fall off his shoulders.
The scholar surnamed Zhang immediately frowned and said, "You shouldn't go to the dock to protest, right?"
"How can we have money for today's meal if we don't move Kang?" Liu Shuhui glanced at them and continued.
His family was not wealthy, and when he arrived in the capital, he had very little left over to spend money on. The city's consumption was still high. During his stay in the capital, he lived in a T-shaped room with multiple rooms.
Scholar Wang and Scholar Zhang were his roommates.
When everyone was not well-off, he once took them to do small jobs together to earn some money, and we all became familiar with each other.
"You've already been hit, why are you doing this!" Wang Shusheng frowned, and he stretched out his hand to pull Liu Shuhui, "You don't want to go to Mr. Cui's house with us. He invited us to live in his house. It’s okay to take you with me.”
"That's right, let's go together, why bother doing such hard work!" Zhang Shusheng said the same way.
They both reached out to hug Liu Shuhui, but Liu Shuhui slapped his hands away. He looked at them both and simply refused, "I won't go, give way."
"Hey, you have such a weird temper! Just because we're sleeping together, I'll give you a chance to help you live a good life!"
Liu Shuhui listened to Wang Shusheng's words and looked at him indifferently, "If we sleep together, I will also give you a warning. Eaters have short mouths and takers have short hands. Everything in this world that just asks you to live a good life has its price. pay."
"you!"
"Okay, okay, forget it if he doesn't understand." Zhang Shusheng pulled Wang Shusheng over and said, "Let's go."
"Let's go, let's go! Ignore him again!"
"Liu Shuhui is so noble. Yesterday, many high-ranking officials from the Zhejiang Party came to invite him. They all asked him to go, but he didn't go, so he just took it! His bad temper can make a fool of himself in the officialdom!"
"That is to say, you really think of yourself as a person!"
The two scholars cursed and led the group of people away. Liu Shuhui didn't even turn his head for a moment, paid no attention to the words, and went back to the house with his usual expression.
It’s not that he doesn’t understand the ways of the world, he knows the ways of the world but is not sophisticated.
Liu Shuhui knows very well that factions are both a ladder to climb and a reminder of life.
He can rely on the regional township parties to quickly unite and win favor, but once there is a problem with their faction, everyone from top to bottom will be implicated.
The way to be an official is to be good at dancing, to have both sides, and to move forward step by step.
He doesn't care about short-term interests or shortcuts, he just wants to do what he wants to do in a down-to-earth manner.
Even if this process is full of difficulties, the road I have walked step by step will be steady and will not be blown down by a gust of wind.
In the private room upstairs, the two of them watched this scene.
The young woman in her late teens and early twenties with her hair in a woman's bun looked at this scene and frowned, "Auntie, this Liu Shuhui also has a bad temper. He has a thick head and doesn't know how to adapt."
"But it's exactly what you said, good character and great integrity." The middle-aged lady sitting opposite her looked at her closely.
Jiang's mother-in-law was originally an official in the capital, but her family fell into decline later because her father formed a clique and looked for connections everywhere to climb up the ladder. At the most glorious time, he even gave her a chance to marry into a high family. It's a pity that she couldn't climb up the ladder. Climbing up, because of the investigation above, the whole family was implicated, and the family she first proposed to marry was the first to break off the engagement mercilessly.
At that time, the Jiang family suffered great humiliation and almost renounced themselves from the family.
Fortunately, Wang Qiluo's father had made meritorious deeds abroad at this time. General Wang was a distant relative of their family. His father died in the battle, and his mother took him to live in the lower Jiang family. She and General Wang were childhood sweethearts.
When she was in the most difficult time, a poor boy whom the Jiang family looked down on said that he wanted to marry her, so she survived.
Later, the Jiang family became more and more defeated and was demoted to a small local official. However, Wang Qiluo's father steadily became a Xipin general and gave her a lifetime of glory.
Between her and Wang Qiluo's father, it was a story of a rich girl and a poor boy. Because of this, she didn't have the same thoughts as those mothers who only looked at family background and tried hard to marry off their daughters.
She values character more.
As long as she has good character and is down-to-earth, her daughter will definitely have a good life in the future.
Lu Lingjun looked at the approving look on Jiang's face opposite him, but felt a little disappointed in his heart.
No wonder Wang Qiluo fell in love with him. My wife also had the same taste.
She pulled Jiang Shi and had a good talk with him about Liu Shuhui, especially his temper, so that Jiang could know the worst and most unacceptable aspects of him.
Jiang listened to everything one by one, but heard that she was even more satisfied with Liu Shuhui.
Why does this boy look more and more like her man the more he listens to her.
They look weak, but their moral integrity is the same, they are all stubborn.
As long as such people have a right heart, they will never go astray.
While the two were talking, it was evening.
"I'll talk to Qiluo's father about this person later."
"Well, I also need to ask General Wang to investigate."
