However, Luo Peisong was not going to let him off easily. "Gifts blind the eyes. Do you think I let you gain weight for free? Just you wait, if you gain one catty, I'll make you lose ten catties later. "
As a great scholar, these words were extremely uncouth. However, Jiang Wanli did not show any reaction. Obviously, he was used to this kind of teacher. After following him for a few years, no one knew better than him that this teacher, other than some eccentricities, did not have the elegance that a great scholar should have. In his opinion, he was much worse than the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs. However, this was only shown in front of people close to him. However, from these words, he could basically confirm that his previous guess was correct. Moreover, his teacher knew more than him.
Jiang Wanli decided to wash up. Although he was quite clean, he was still out of prison. Although he was treated quite well in prison, he did not feel so good psychologically. Because he was out for many years, it was definitely not as good as being taken care of at home. Even if there was a servant, Jiang Wanli would do it himself most of the time.
However, after entering the house, Jiang Wanli found that there were many more things. "Where did they come from?"
"Young Master, the Luo family sent them over. They said that they are for you to get over your shock." In fact, in the servant's opinion, these gifts were too much and too expensive.
Jiang Wanli saw that his servant's expression was not right, so he casually flipped through them. His movements became careful in an instant. He picked them up and was reluctant to part with them. He thought that it was no wonder.
Since they were given to him, it was obviously to his liking. It was actually a relatively simple thing to give him something that he liked without any specific understanding. As a scholar, he just had to choose from the masses. Calligraphy and painting books, especially the works of famous masters and the only copies, even if he did not like them from the bottom of his heart, he could collect these things. To a scholar, it was also a kind of capital that he could show off. Otherwise, it would only be a matter of face if he used it as a gift. All these in front of him were undoubtedly exquisite treasures. He, Jiang Wanli, had seen many good things, but he could not help but be moved in the face of these. It was obvious that they were really extraordinary.
Jiang Wanli pondered for a while. From his teacher, he could basically see part of the Luo family's background. However, to casually give a junior like him so many good things, this was not something the Luo family could do. It was not that they could not take it out, but it was too much.
Therefore, these things most likely came from Jin Qinwang fu. After all, the other party was a Wangye. Even if it was compensation, it was far from reaching the point of "exhausting everything". He was just a small pawn. His words had just entered the officialdom and really had no use. Therefore, this matter of being valued was actually a joke. This kind of heavy gift could only explain one point, the other party had a lot of things and simply did not care. Things that were very precious and numerous in other people's eyes, in the other party's eyes, were probably just a hair from nine oxen, not worth mentioning.
As such, Jiang Wanli calmly accepted it. In any case, he really liked it. It belonged to the category where he could only lend it to a friend for three days.
"Put it away. Don't damage it at all."
"Yes, Young Master. However, is there really no problem with Young Master? "The manservant was still somewhat worried.
Speaking of which, he and Jiang Wanli grew up together. Although they were master and servant, Jiang Wanli did not treat him unfairly. He had even attended classes with Jiang Wanli and had seen a lot. Therefore, this manservant's eyesight was even better than many scholars.
"If I tell you to accept it, then accept it. What's with all this nonsense? I know what I'm doing."
Hearing these words, the manservant was relieved. He chuckled twice and promised that he would properly tidy up the things. The manservant was absolutely convinced and worshipped his Young Master. In his eyes, there was no one more intelligent than his Young Master. Whatever the Young Master said and did, then it must be right.
The next day, Jiang Wanli returned to Hanlin Academy. When everyone saw that he was intact, they thought, it must be the Emperor who gave the order early. However, from this point, it was enough to see the Emperor's fondness for Editor Jiang. Therefore, those who saw the wind and set the helm all gathered around Jiang Wanli, saying things like "I knew Brother Jiang was wronged", "What kind of character does Jiang Laodi have, how could he do such a thing", "Virtuous Nephew Jiang's Xu Xuexue still needs to use such underhanded means", "After this disaster, there will be good fortune in the future". Some people still wanted to be thick-skinned. Some people seemed to have completely forgotten that they were one of the people who slandered Jiang Wanli the most fiercely in the beginning.
Jiang Wanli, on the other hand, was "good-natured". His smile did not change as he politely responded to them one by one.
Many people's hearts skipped a beat. Well, there was a high chance that they had offended Editor Jiang. Moreover, they originally thought that he had become stupid from studying. Otherwise, how could he be so knowledgeable? In the end, his degree of slyness was not inferior to those who had been in the industry for many years. Some of them retreated and decided to stay far away from him in case he took revenge on them. After all, the other party's background was there. Of course, there were also people who wanted to redeem themselves. It did not matter if they were to be humble. They were all scheming for Jiang Wanli's connections behind him. Thinking about it, if they could get on his good side, they did not know how many detours they would take.
In Jiang Wanli's eyes, he was clear in his heart. No matter what kind of attitude he had, he was very slippery and evasive. He seemed to be very easy to talk to, but in fact, he did not say anything.
The examination of the Scholar of Merit was postponed for a few days. The three Luo brothers successfully passed the examination and then went to Hanlin Academy to "laze around".
Although it was said that those who were not Jinshi could not enter Hanlin Academy, and those who were not Hanlin Academy could not enter the Cabinet, was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel so ambitious to put all three of his grandsons into Hanlin Academy? One must know that after entering Hanlin Academy, one generally had to endure three years of experience. It was impossible to be promoted without special circumstances. Now, the Ministry of Revenue was still short of manpower, and there were also vacancies in other places. As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Luo Peishan wanted to seek benefits for his three grandsons. As long as it was not too excessive, no one would mind some of the better positions. With him as a backer, even if they were new to the officialdom and had no experience, they would definitely be able to do well.
Now, all of them were pushed into Hanlin Academy. What was the meaning of this?
Obviously, Luo Peishan began to keep a low profile after being high-profile.
In fact, many people in high positions knew that it was not necessarily a bad thing to stay in Hanlin Academy for three years. After three years, the situation might have completely stabilized. At that time, there would still be competition, but it would not be like during the fight for the throne, where they might lose their lives. It was said that Luo Peishan was an old fox. It was definitely not a joke.
Another storm had subsided. Of course, this was only on the surface. Moreover, even if it really subsided, there would be another wave in the dark. It was hard to tell when it would come out.
The weather was getting hotter, but the matters in the northwest were still not completely dealt with. It was already May, and it was the Dragon Boat Festival. There were too many things to do. Le Chengdi did not have the leisure to go out of the palace to watch the dragon boat race. However, he held a banquet in the palace, inviting civil and military officials above the third rank and their families.
"Is Ah Yuan going to make a move at the banquet?" Jingwan asked curiously.
"Make a move? Wan Wan, you think too much. I just want to be a spectator. Why should I make a move? "
Jingwan raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Then, let's wait and see."
