Fantasy: Starting out as a gigolo, born a Confucian sage

After coming to the capital this time, Chu Youyi moved to the Shen family.

Although there is only a wall between them and the Chu family, they are divided into two families after all.

Even during the day, Chu Youyi would run home from time to time, but Chu Pingshan and his wife were still reluctant to leave.

They are often asked to come to Chu's house for dinner, or have food prepared and delivered to them.

Even the cooks from Zhongshan County were brought here.

After all, Shen Wuming had carefully cultivated them before and even specially compiled recipes for them.

The food produced is very different.

Even Pei Zian became happy, finally no longer having to eat pig food from Dali Temple.

Now she has resumed her habit in Zhongshan County, coming to Shen's house every day for food.

"Today's dumplings are delicious. They are stuffed with mustard greens and pork. I like them."

On the dinner table.

Pei Zian's cheeks were bulging, and he was still praising him.

Chu Youyi looked at her lovingly and helped her add a little vinegar to the dipping plate.

"You have to dip your dumplings in vinegar, otherwise, the flavor will be reduced by half."

Chu Youyi's voice was soft, and Pei Zian turned his head and gave her a silly smile.

Song Nanzhu curled his lips and ate the dumplings without saying a word.

But Chu Youyi did not forget her. She mixed the dipping sauce and placed it in front of her.

Shen Wuming did not sit next to his wife, but sat with his father-in-law and Su Letian.

They are talking.

"What I just told you has been discussed with your grandpa several times before."

"In short, it is best to enter the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Industry, which is most beneficial to your practice."

"And your Mo family cultivation level is high enough, even if you are just a doctor due to qualifications."

"But even the Minister and the Minister have to respect your opinions, and their right to speak is very different."

"The other thing is the Ministry of War... We will definitely go to war with Yan State next."

"As long as you can get involved, rely on your strength to make achievements, but just do it casually."

Su Letian analyzed carefully.

Chu Pingshan nodded, "What your uncle said makes sense."

"Of course, according to this idea, you can also choose the Ordnance Supervisor, the Imperial Academy or the Capital Water Supervisor!"

The core departments of the imperial court are the three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five prisons. The three provinces are the most unique.

The governors of the three provinces are all prime ministers, and everyone else can also participate in the core decision-making level.

Although the six departments, nine temples and five prisons have different levels, they are essentially independent institutions.

Among them, the Ordnance Supervisor is responsible for weapons casting, and the Du Water Supervisor is mainly responsible for water conservancy construction.

It is also linked to the Mohist family.

As for the Imperial College, it is the same team as the Imperial College, with two brands.

It is mainly an educational institution, but it is also responsible for education across the country.

There is some overlap with the functions of the Ministry of Rites, but the details are somewhat different.

The Ministry of Rites is mainly responsible for formulating educational policies, and also manages ceremonies and diplomacy.

But the Imperial College was more responsible for the academies in various places and the education of Taipei students.

One is equivalent to the Department of JY, ​​and the other is equivalent to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Peking University.

"Let me think about it."

Shen Wuming rubbed his eyebrows. He didn't plan his career in the beginning.

I just want to get the top score in the exam quickly, and then be able to embrace others and enjoy all the blessings.

Now that he was actually facing this matter, he was still a little at a loss.

After all, if you really want to be an official, you will definitely have to do things, and you can't just sit down and eat nothing.

If you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, you might as well go home and sell tofu.

Why occupy the latrine and not poop?

"Okay, look at you!"

Su Letian wanted to say something else, but Chu Pingshan pulled his sleeve and said kindly to Shen Wuming.

Compared to Su Letian, the uncle, he, the father-in-law, understood Shen Wuming better.

I know what this guy is thinking.

He didn't mean to make things difficult either.

To put it bluntly, Chu Pingshan is not old yet.

If Wuming wants to be free and unrestrained for a few more years, that doesn't matter, since he will support him anyway.

not to mention.

With Shen Wuming's current prestige and strength, so what if he does nothing?

Who can still touch the Shouyang Houfu and Yonganhoufu?

"you……"

Su Letian looked at Chu Pingshan, saw him wink, and then shook his head without saying anything.

After meal.

Chu Pingshan and Su Letian walked to the backyard. Su Letian couldn't help but said, "Why don't you persuade me?"

Chu Pingshan disagreed, "Why should I persuade you?"

"You know that his talent is so high. If you join the officialdom early, you will have the opportunity to become a marquis or prime minister in the future."

Su Letian was a little anxious, "You know, officialdom is not as good as outside."

“The earlier you get in, the more opportunities you will have in the future!”

Chu Pingshan shook his head, "You said you were granted the title of Marquis and the Prime Minister, isn't Wuming a Marquis now?"

"As for the prime minister, let's talk about it when we have the opportunity. Why do you want to go so far now?"

"I just want the children to be safe and happy. For the rest, I think that's enough."

"You..." Su Letian shook his head and glared at him angrily.

"There was a reason why the old man couldn't stand you back then. I now know it."

After saying that, Su Letian rolled his sleeves and left. Chu Pingshan looked at his back and just shrugged.

Shen Wuming stayed alone in the study, with a piece of white paper in front of him, with official positions written on them.

Ordnance Supervisor.

Capital Water Supervisor.

Imperial College.

Ministry of Industry.

Ministry of War.

After staring at it for a long time, he still hadn't made a decision, and suddenly laughed dumbly.

"Why do I think so much? The premise is that I have to pass the exam to be the top scholar, so I can choose."

"Otherwise, the Ministry of Personnel will be directly assigned to me, and I still have to think about it."

Shen Wuming shook his head, crumpled the white paper into a ball, threw it on the ground, and walked out.

In the courtyard.

Cao Zhuyu has left. After all, she has a public office and is still very busy.

In the daytime, I took a special leave to accompany the exam, but I still have to deal with official business at night.

After all, things are piled up.

Yubu Langzhong is the head of Yubu Division, and many things need his signature and seal.

Others can't do it for him.

Chu Youyi, Pei Zian, and Song Nanzhu are playing mahjong with each other, laughing and joking.

Shen Wuming didn't go over, but just leaned against the door with a lazy smile on his face.

Such a day is good.

Time passed quietly, and three days later, the court announced the list of this time's tribute scholars.

As expected, Shen Wuming once again dominated the gold list, ranked first, and became the champion.

"The ancients regarded the three top honors as a refined talk, and my husband has now completed two."

"You just need to work harder in the palace examination, and you can win the honor of the three top honors!"

Outside the Imperial Academy.

The moment Chu Youyi saw Shen Wuming's name, she immediately showed joy on her face and couldn't help but praise.

The people around looked at him sideways, what are you doing? What are you doing? You don't treat us as human beings, right?
