Chapter 467 Guangzong Yaozu
"Actually, there's no need to worry too much. Just stick to your heart. Since you've decided to be a pure minister, don't worry about anything else."
Tong Huaian now feels that Jiang Youzhen is unlikely to submit to the Fourth Prince, so he should remain neutral, which will not do any harm to the Fourth Prince.
"Brother Huai'an just said that I was naive, why are you becoming naive yourself now?" Jiang Youzhen smiled and shook his head.
"Many times, you have no choice. You don't move, but sometimes someone forces you to move. How can you stay out of trouble when you are in prison?"
Jiang Youzhen recalled the past events. Except for the new dock construction, which one was not a passive counterattack? If those people didn't come to provoke him, why would he meddle in other people's business?
Tong Huaian sighed when he heard this. Indeed! Being in the vortex of power, most people are helpless.
"Then protect yourself as much as possible. Although you didn't join the Fourth Master, he appreciates you very much. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. Even if you leave the Fourth Master aside, as a good friend, I will do my best to help you."
Tong Huaian doesn't have many friends, so he helps the Fourth Prince, firstly for his ambitions, and secondly because the Fourth Prince appreciates him.
A man will die for his friend! It was precisely because the Fourth Prince thought highly of him that he chose the Fourth Prince.
Jiang Youzhen's relationship with him was pure and without any other intentions.
Jiang Youzhen agreed with a smile, but he didn't agree in his heart. Once there is a conflict of interest between the two parties, and the interests of the Fourth Prince are damaged, will Tong Huaian still help her?
If Tong Huaian cannot rely on the Fourth Prince when he returns to the Marquis' Mansion, his days in the Marquis' Mansion will eventually be more difficult than they are now.
Qinghe Village
"His Excellency the County Magistrate, we are so sorry for not coming in person to greet you!" The head of the village led all the villagers to come forward and pay their respects to the County Magistrate.
"Hahaha! This time, our Wen County has produced three successful candidates in a row, and they all ranked high. They all entered the Imperial College. This is a great joyous event!"
Wu Yun, the new county magistrate who just took office this year, was all smiles. He did not expect to pick up a great political achievement as soon as he took office. Three Juren! This political achievement was picked up by chance.
"We have outstanding people and beautiful scenery in Wen County. Your Excellency is also very blessed and has brought good luck to our Wen County!"
"Hey~ the village head is overpraising, that's all the hard work of the candidates. The three of them are still young, and two of them are from our Qinghe Village..."
Wu Yun was modest in words, but the smile on his face became much brighter.
He looked around and saw the beautiful mountains and rivers. He also looked at the smiles on the villagers' faces and couldn't help but nodded.
"Qinghe Village is a good place, with simple folk customs and villagers who are very caring towards their younger generations. I heard that there is a school here? It seems that they attach great importance to studying! Studying is good! Studying can help you gain knowledge and bring honor to your family!"
The county magistrate was very satisfied. Qinghe Village had become famous far and wide. Jiang Youzhen and Tong Huaian were even more famous.
"My Lord, this is a clan school run by the Jiang clan. After the young doctor of the Jiang family became a scholar, they opened the clan school. All the younger generations in Qinghe Village can go to study there. They just need to bring their own study tools and give some food to the teacher who taught them. The Jiang clan is righteous and will benefit all the villagers."
The head of the village pointed at the head of the Jiang family, only to see that the head's face turned red with excitement.
The magistrate immediately grabbed the Jiang clan leader's hand and said a lot of encouraging and complimenting words, "The emergence of a younger generation like Mr. Jiang in the clan is all due to the good teaching of the Jiang clan..."
Chief Jiang was so proud of this that his face was flushed with excitement! His knees almost gave way and he knelt down to the magistrate.
It wasn't because he was excited to meet the new magistrate, but because Jiang Youzhen really brought honor to the family.
How many generations has the Jiang family not produced a scholar or juren? The peasants are about to rise up.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!
As long as Jiang Youzhen rises, the Jiang family will be able to grow and develop with the help of Jiang Youzhen, and the younger generations will also be able to be promoted by Jiang Youzhen.
Changing the family was inevitable, and Jiang Youzhen was the first one to do so.
The other villagers looked at Chief Jiang with envy, it was great to have promising younger generations!
Look! The new magistrate is so kind to the clan leader.
"The Jiang family has really risen. Jiang Xiaolang actually passed the imperial examination and I heard he got first place!" The villagers couldn't help but praise.
"That's not called the first place, it seems to be called something like Jieyuan."
"No matter what place he ranks, he will be a juren in the future anyway. Do we have to bow to him when we see him?"
"Oh! Isn't it? I heard that a Juren can become an official, maybe even a county magistrate!"
"Shh~ Stop talking nonsense..." Aunt Ya was originally feeling a little proud of herself, but when she heard the person next to her say that, she quickly interrupted her.
The magistrate is here, so you'd better keep a low profile and don't be too arrogant.
Aunt Ya was happy for Shen. It turned out that Shen's fortune was still to come! Xiao Lang had really made it!
She couldn't help but think of her daughter Chunya and sighed, thinking that they were not destined to be together after all.
The night before Chunya got married last year, she tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep all night.
How could she not know her daughter's worries? But the Jiang family is now prosperous, and they are no longer a good match!
Fortunately, the son-in-law treats Chunya well, and Chunya gradually changes his mind. Now she is pregnant.
"Hey! Here it comes!" Wu Yun pointed at the carriage road coming towards this side in the distance.
"The two candidates have not returned yet. I am here today to present them with memorial archways and plaques. Please discuss where to place them."
Only then did everyone notice that there were several carriages in the distance, two of which were towing long boards loaded with stones.
"This? You are so thoughtful, sir. The memorial archway and the plaque should have been made by someone from our clan. Why are you troubling me?"
Patriarch Jiang was very surprised. The archway and the plaque were indeed the clan's business, and they had already planned to order them custom-made. He didn't expect that the magistrate had already done it?
"Haha! I asked them to make it overnight. Although the archway is slow to make, and there are only two stone pillars at present, but slow work produces fine work, so let's put up the pillars first."
Chief Jiang was even more excited. Who could understand? The magistrate personally came to present the plaque. What a great honor it was for the Jiang family.
"Your Excellency is too polite. This?" Chief Jiang was so happy that he was incoherent.
"When the two candidates arrive at the county, the county government will send people to beat gongs and drums. Then, you should welcome the first and second place winners back home!"
"Of course! Thank you for your hard work, sir. We are honored!" The head of the village was very calm. After expressing his gratitude, he stood aside.
Wu Yun looked at the head of the village deeply. The purpose of his coming here was not just to congratulate the two successful candidates.
Jiang Youzhen had a promising future, and once he passed the imperial examination, he would be a guaranteed Jinshi. It was already well known that the princes wanted to recruit Jiang Youzhen before he even entered the court.
In the future, no matter which faction Jiang Youzhen joins, he will rise to a high position.
However, the person he wanted to curry favor with the most was Tong Huaian.
The second son of the Marquis's family might even be the next Marquis. How could he not curry favor with him?
