The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Chapter 51 Of course being a Jinshi is nothing

Although Professor Lin has become the most heroic man in Suzhou City, although Professor Lin beats five people on average every day, and although Professor Lin often fights with people in the street in broad daylight, Professor Lin is still a very rational person.

Being the head of the household department and also responsible for the Hushu customs duties makes this an excellent official position. If you can get it in your twenties, you will have a bright future.

It is said that Mr. She, the current governor of Jiangnan, served as a customs envoy of Xushuguan when he was young. The main road of Xushuguan is called Shegong Street, which is why it came from this.

But if you are over 40 and still work as a tax envoy, it would be a bit unconventional, like this Mr. Wang in front of you.

In addition, Mr. Wang's "what does it mean to be a Jinshi" and "wait first for patrol officers"

His strange words and deeds made Professor Lin feel a strong middle-aged non-mainstream atmosphere.

Such people are often time bombs and can easily be blown up if they are too close. People who are more sensible will stay away when they see weird things.

At this time, Wang Shishi stood up, walked to Lin Tailai's side, and invited him kindly: "I have some literary questions, and I would like to ask for advice."

Only then did Lin Tailai realize that the tax envoy Wang was also a big man, of course a big man by ordinary people's standards.

If the measurement units of his previous life were used, this king's tax envoy would be only a dozen centimeters shorter than himself, about 1.8 meters tall. Among ordinary people today, he would definitely be considered a big man.

Therefore, Wang Shushi became even more unconventional in Lin Tailai's eyes.

After Professor Lin thought twice, he quickly declined and said: "I am very talented and have little knowledge. How can I teach others? It would be better for Mr. Wang to hire someone more talented."

The king's tax envoy frowned, "You were not so humble just now! Could it be that you plagiarized this poem, and you have no talent or knowledge at all, lest you reveal it after further investigation?"

Lin Tailai could only reply: "I really don't need any advice. I can leave you a few poems and ask Mr. Wang to correct me."

At this moment, I suddenly heard a commotion in the direction of the customs office gate, and then a guard rushed in rolling and crawling, shouting:

"The master is in trouble! Mr. Xing, the patrol censor, led his subordinates and fought all the way in, and we didn't dare to stop him!"

Lin Tailai was stunned. What happened? Is it possible that in official circles, it is also popular to get angry immediately if they disagree?

The king's tax envoy said angrily: "Yushi Xing is bullying people too much! Is there any reason to force people to accept guests?"

Lin Tailai was no longer able to complain about Wang Shishi's non-mainstream language.

He quickly began to search in the court hall to see if there was any place to hide his figure, and prayed that the police inspector who came in would not notice him.

That was the Jiangnan patrol, and it was also the classic official position of "eight prefecture patrols" often seen in opera novels.

In many classic songs, including Dou E's Injustice, Yu Tang Chun, Luo Pa Ji, Five Girls' Birthday Wishes, and Stephen Chow, there are eight mansions patrolling!

Moreover, Lin Tailai also knew that the patrol censor Xing Tong who came in was a literary genius, a new generation leader of northern literature and art, a master of calligraphy and painting, and together with Dong Qichang, he was known as Northern Xing and Southern Dong.

This person will soon become one of the five new sons of the retro sect appointed by the old leader Wang Shizhen at the martial arts conference this month.

All in all, this Xing Xun press could crush himself to death in all directions with just one little finger.

The Wang Tax Envoy looked at Lin Tailai who was hiding behind the pillar and said, "Wait a moment until I get rid of this annoying patrol officer, and then I can discuss literature with you again!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a censor wearing a Xie Zhi Bu Zi official robe, about thirty years old, standing majestically at the door of the court.

But the censor seemed to be even angrier than Wang Shishi. He blocked the door and shouted angrily: "Wang Shufeng! Do you really have a brain disease?"

Wang Shishi put on a cold face: "Since ten years ago, I have nothing to say to you."

After hearing these conversations, Professor Lin, who was hiding behind the pillar, was very sensitive and realized that it might be different from what he imagined!

In fact, the relationship between these two people is not ordinary. This conversation is more like friends having an quarrel?

So Professor Lin decisively stepped out from behind the pillar and stood calmly behind Wang Shishi.

If the Governor of the Eight Prefectures noticed me, wouldn't there be another chance to meet noble people?

Without saying a word, Yushi Xing reached out and threw out a large number of letters, which directly confused Wang Shishi's face.

"This is the family letter from your second brother, younger sister, second nephew, and third nephew. I brought it here from the capital. Why don't you thank me?"

The king's tax envoy hurriedly put away these family letters and snorted: "You are so sentimental. I don't need to trouble you to deliver the family letters from my Wang family in person!"

Xing Yushi was trembling with anger and asked: "You don't even want to see me, how can you be so heartless?"

The king's tax envoy waved his sleeves and said, "You can go. I don't have time to receive you. I still want to discuss literature with this mountain man."

When mountain man Lin Tailai heard this, he quickly puffed up his chest and showed his face in front of the eight governors.

Only then did Yushi Xing raise his head and glance at Lin Tailai, who was over 1.9 meters tall, and then at Wang Shishi, who was 1.8 meters tall.

I'm a little confused. Are you discussing literature or martial arts?

The king's tax envoy said with disdain: "Everyone says that you, Xing, are talented in literature, but his poetry is ten times better than yours!"

Lin Tailai: "???"

For some reason, he wanted to hide behind the pillar again.

King’s tax envoy, Master Wang, Grandpa Wang! You are mocking the eight governors who hold the real power, don't drag other innocent passers-by along with you!

However, Xing Xun became famous at a young age and had seen many provocations. He did not respond at all and regarded this sentence as a clumsy rhetoric.

Finally, he pointed at the Wang Tax Envoy and said, "I will come back to you after I finish inspecting the counties in Suzhou Prefecture!"

After watching Yushi Xing leave, Professor Lin took a long breath and wiped his sweat vigorously.

It can be said that the moment just now was the most dangerous moment since he traveled through time!

The current Inspector of the Eight Prefectures is not a retired veteran like Mr. Feng. He can be treated casually, let alone make fun of him.

I don't even have the honor of protecting the body, but I have angered the inspector of the Eight Prefectures, and I can kill myself by just blowing on him!

After Lin Tailai adjusted his mood, he cautiously asked the tax envoy Wang, "Do you think the prince and Xing Xunjian were old acquaintances?"

Unknowingly, Lord Wang became a prince.

Wang Shushi couldn't help but fall into the memories of the past: "This person named Xing and I are actually from Shandong Province.

Eleven years ago, he was a twenty-four-year-old young genius, and I was thirty, both in the prime of life. We went to the capital together to take the exam.

When we were in the capital, we went in and out together, wandering around the scenic spots in the capital during the day and partying in the flower and literary circles at night.

Then on the day when the results were released, he passed the exam and I failed. "

Professor Lin was very surprised when he heard this. Isn't this king's tax envoy too narrow-minded? Just because your friend passed the exam and you failed, do you hold a grudge?

Wang Shishi glanced at Lin Tailai, as if he knew what Lin Tailai was thinking, and continued: "Later I found out that after playing every night, when I went to bed, he would review his homework until the fourth watch!"

Lin Tailai: "."

He suddenly understood Wang Shishi's anger. The scumbag thought that he and the top student were playing together and that everyone was going to fail the exam together. But he didn't expect that the top student was still secretly working hard in private.

He empathized and comforted him and said: "My lord, you are doing well now. Being able to sit in Xushuguan at least means that you will pass the Jinshi examination later."

The king's tax envoy sighed sadly: "What does this Jinshi mean? Among my brothers, I am the third one! I have been in my forties without any doubts, and I only passed the exam the year before last. What future do I have!"

The third Jinshi among brothers? Is it still too late to give up? Professor Lin, who had not even passed the county examination, no longer knew what to say.

Lin Tailai didn't know if he was qualified to comment on this sense of pathos.

He could only flatter in a daze and say: "Fortunately, even if you are the third Jinshi among brothers, you, the prince, will be the best among men!"

Some counties with relatively backward humanities only produce a Jinshi after several decades.

Wang Shuzhi's expression became even more depressed, and he let out a long sigh, "You don't understand. I have three nephews who also won the Jinshi, earlier than my uncle. How can I be proud of being a Jinshi?"

Lin Tailai: "."

After Wang Shishi lamented his misfortune in life, he suddenly asked Lin Tailai strangely:

"Why haven't you spoken for a long time? Looking at my sad situation, how should I write poetry to express my mood?"

Professor Lin has become autistic and just wants to rush out and find a place to continue to be autistic.

He finally understood why the king's tax envoy said before that "Jinshi is nothing."

This is not an arrogant pretense, it is just a very plain explanation of a fact. Wang Shishi is really qualified to say this.

With three brothers and three nephews, there are already six Jinshis in two generations! For such a family, being a Jinshi is of course nothing!

What kind of family is this riding horse? Can Jinshi come out one after another?

Professor Lin, who is quite proficient in humanities and history, suddenly thought of something, Shandong people? Your surname is Wang? Large-scale wholesale of Jinshi?

After these keywords were connected in series, Lin Tailai suddenly became enlightened and shouted out loud: "Shandong Xincheng Wang family!"

The Wang Tax Envoy was very surprised, "You, a gangster and folk poet who lives far away in the south of the Yangtze River, actually know about my family?"

Professor Lin mustered up his courage and asked cautiously again: "Just now, Xing Xun said that he brought your sister's family letter to the prince? From that tone, does it sound like she is not married yet?"

The King’s Tax Envoy: “.”

Jiangnan people are really too frivolous! You are afraid that Xing Xun will kill you, haven't you ever thought that Hushu Customs Officer can also kill you?
