Chapter 300 Volume C: Poetry and wine: Gains and losses in the prime of life

"But Ziying, you must be mentally prepared. Your article may not be recognized by those who benefit, but it will anger many people who originally recognized you and destroy your impression in their minds. Even if Chengfeng and Weishi make things right for you, it won’t be able to recover much.”

 Qiao Yingjia reminded his proud disciple that there was still a long way to go, and he should be prepared for all the ups and downs in his official career.

"Master Qiao, I understand, but I also believe that if you cannot have your own clear goals and responsibilities, and do not have perseverance, it will be difficult to win real recognition and support. Isn't this also what Master Qi and Master Qiao taught? Is it a disciple’s?”

 Feng Ziying expressed her attitude very solemnly but resolutely.

Qiao Yingjia was startled. He seemed to have sensed some of the true meaning in Feng Ziying's words. He thought about it carefully for a while, and then sighed: "Ziying, what you said is good. Remember what you said, but first you have to Make it clear that what you are doing is correct, at least the direction is in the right direction, and acting against nature is the behavior of a fool."

"Master Qiao, this is what my disciple thinks. Everything is developing and changing. Some things may not have been possible thirty years ago, but they will be feasible and even necessary thirty years later. , needs to change with the times and the situation. As for whether it is right or not, sometimes we can’t see clearly. We always need to try to know what is right or wrong. The court should have a tolerance for mistakes. As long as our The idea is good, so why not try it on a small scale?"

Feng Ziying patiently communicated with Qiao Yingjia. He needed to convince Qiao Yingjia.

 In his opinion, Qiao Yingjia is not as resolute and pure as Qi Yongtai, but he is more flexible and able to deal with many things flexibly. If he can get his approval, perhaps many things can be done with half the effort.

A helpless smile appeared on the corner of Qiao Yingjia's mouth, "It seems that you have made up your mind. I have to say that you have impressed me a little bit. Well, but I also remember that you said that you must first make a decision on these situations." Basic investigation, you have a saying that I remember very clearly as a teacher, and I strongly agree with it. Without investigation, there is no right to speak. It is extremely subtle, but you should know that if you want to conduct such an investigation, it will not be done in a year and a half. It will take at least several months to come down, even if it’s one state or one prefecture.”

"Master Qiao, we must carry out investigation and accounting. Otherwise, how can we convince others if we want to promote things? I never count on everyone, but at least the results of the investigation and accounting can convince those who are dubious and those who are incompetent, right? As long as we have this If some people can agree or even acquiesce, we can try many things."

Feng Ziying's attitude should make Qiao Yingjia realize that once his disciple is determined in certain aspects, he will continue to move forward unswervingly.

This kind of persistence and stubbornness not only made him appreciate it, but also worried him a little.

The determination not to hit the wall and not look back is a good thing, but if it goes too far, it will cause big problems. I hope that I, a disciple, can grasp it well.

"Ziying, I understand your thoughts, but you have to remember that even if you pass the examination, you are still a commoner. Many things are too much and too little is too much. It is not good to be eager for success." Qiao Yingjia Commander He let out a breath and said, "Actually, Brother Chengfeng and I also have an idea. If Ye Xianggao can't get through, I plan to go and talk to Long Jiang..."

Shen Yiguan's courtesy name is Jianwu and his nickname is Longjiang.

Feng Ziying was shocked. Is there any room for maneuver with Shen Yiguan?

 In the palace examination, he even publicly confronted Emperor Yonglong for his own roll. How could it be possible...?

"It's different." Qiao Yingjia saw Feng Ziying's shocked expression, but didn't explain much, "Now that Mr. Long Jiang has let go of some constraints, he can think more about it. Of course, there will definitely be some problems on the teacher's side... "

 Feng Ziying roughly understood some of Qiao Yingjia's ideas, and this may have received a certain degree of acquiescence and support from Qi Yongtai, but this also had disadvantages.

 This was enough to move Feng Ziying.

I am only fifteen years old, and I still have too much time and opportunities in the future, but these two teachers are all worrying about me. Although there is a teacher-student friendship here, it is more about my many performances that win them With recognition and support, we are walking on an almost like-minded path.

“Master Qiao, I will bear in mind the kindness you and Master Qi have shown to my disciple,…”

Feng Ziying was interrupted by Qiao Yingjia, "Is it because I want to hear your words of thanks? Stick to your own ideas, but pay attention to propriety, rhythm and scale. I always feel that you can't wait, so you just At fifteen years old, why can’t I be more patient and calm?…”

Feng Ziying was speechless. Can she say that time has not waited for us? If we delay it, many things will get worse and worse, or even become irreversible?

 …

 Picked up the tea cup and tasted it carefully for a long time before Qiao Yingjia put it down.

The old man in green shirt is sitting at the bottom, also holding a teacup, thinking deeply.

"Huaisheng, how is my disciple?" Qiao Yingjia smiled slightly, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said leisurely.

“It’s really extraordinary. I’ve only heard Dong Weng’s introduction before, but I’ve never had any personal contact with him. Today, I finally saw his face and heard his voice. He’s a young hero.”

As Qiao Yingjia's most respected aide, the old man in green shirt naturally knew how much his boss valued the young man who had left. Moreover, when Dong Weng and the young man had been talking for a long time in the hall, he had been listening on the sidelines without interrupting.

"Oh? Do you know what I admire most about this guy?" Qiao Yingjia raised his head proudly, "In addition to this guy being extremely courageous, what I admire most is that he has a bottom line and should stick to it. He never gives in, but he knows how to be flexible. He is not like some people who are rigid and rigid, nor is he like some people who wantonly cross the line. As for his opinion, in my opinion, it is quite expected."

 “Oh?” Zhang Huai was quite surprised.

He has been with Qiao Yingjia for more than ten years. From the first time Feng Ziying met Qiao Yingjia, he knew that even though he did not come forward during the subsequent meetings, Qiao Yingjia did not hide the situation from him.

Today, he heard Feng Ziying's views on maritime trade, Japanese war, and border affairs in the North. He was also amazed. Although some of his views were too subjective and unrealistic, a young man who had not yet entered the officialdom could only rely on his boyhood. After living in the border area with my father for several years, I was able to come up with such views and insights, which is really unbelievable.

"Dong Weng, even if I don't dare to say that this insight is shocking, at his age, as long as it comes from his own thinking, it can be regarded as a unique genius." Zhang Huai disagreed. He felt that Qiao Yingjia was still a little too self-effacing. Well, good is good, there is no need to be deliberately modest.

"Well, he deserves to be a genius, but I think this boy will have greater achievements in the future. Of course, he still needs ten years of hard work." Qiao Yingjia showed a trace of pride that could not be concealed, " I think this guy should not be so impatient based on his state of mind, but he is too eager to achieve success in some things, which may be his current shortcoming..."

"It's normal for young people to be a little energetic, eager to make contributions and make a big splash. Didn't Dong Weng come from this way back then?" Zhang Huai laughed, and he could feel Qiao Yingjia's inner appreciation and love for Feng Ziying.

When Qiao Yingjia first joined the imperial censor, he was still very energetic and could not bear to see others being treated unfairly. It was only after years of beatings that he gradually matured. Although Zhang Huai had not yet followed Qiao Yingjia at that time, he still had some understanding of what Qiao Yingjia had done in the past. .

The boss chooses his staff, and the staff also chooses his boss. It was precisely because he recognized Qiao Yingjia's conduct and ideas that Zhang Huai was willing to follow him.

"I hope so. However, Huaisheng, I wonder if you have ever felt that many times my disciple always gives people a sense of heaviness beyond his age?" Qiao Yingjia asked leisurely, "Well, this feeling I’ve never felt that in other young people.”

Zhang Huai was startled, and after careful consideration, it seemed that except for the impatience and vigor that Qiao Yingjia mentioned, in other aspects he really looked more like a thirty-five-year-old courtier.

Naturally, Feng Ziying didn't know that her complicated performance had brought a lot of confusion to Qiao Yingjia and his staff. Determination, sharpness, and radicalness were mixed with two completely different qualities: depth, sophistication, and even forbearance. Some of them are too complicated and even difficult to locate.

With this worry out of the way, Feng Ziying also relaxed a lot. He planned to go to Jia's house while there was still some time.

It is said that Jia Baoyu was still very peaceful during this period, and was studying in ethnic studies honestly, but he was still disconnected from Brother Zhong, but he no longer dared to be so clear about his ways.

Thinking of Qin Zhong, Feng Ziying thought of that ghost woman Qin Keqing. He had already implicitly mentioned this matter in his letter to his father. It would depend on his father's reply.

He felt that Qin Keqing's secret should be roughly known to many people at a certain level. For example, Jia Jing knew about it, but Jia Zhen and Jia Rong probably only knew that this woman had a great background, but Jia Jing did not tell him. People's specific reasons.

Rong Guofu may not know, but maybe Wang Ziteng should know something. It depends on whether his father knows.

I don’t know how I got into trouble with this woman. The problem is that I didn’t get into trouble with her.

I just looked at it a few more times. Is it possible that my gaze is so strange and unique and so eye-catching? Or is this ghost woman Qin Keqing already making plans for herself?

Thinking of this, Feng Ziying's heart trembled slightly. Not to mention, the woman was really a bit unusual when she looked at her carefully. Well, with her false and crazy devilish nature put away, she was really a bit extraordinarily enchanting.

While I was thinking about it, I was inevitably a little distracted, but I never thought that a person would rush out from the corner door.

 He walked to Qiao Yingjia's house. Unless there was a special emergency, he would walk to Qi Yongtai's and Qiao Yingjia's houses.

The two of them collided with each other immediately. Feng Ziying could still keep her footing, but when she saw the guy staggering, he said "ouch" and rushed forward: "You are blind, how dare you do this to me?" Seeking death in front of the door?"

Before Feng Ziying could see her appearance clearly, she was grabbed in the chest by this guy and punched her in the face.

Angry and angry, Feng Ziying had never suffered such a loss before. She blocked the opponent's punch with her left hand, took advantage of the situation to hold down the opponent's palm on her chest, and pressed her chest forward, which was a standard wrist-fold.

 “Ouch!”

This time, it should be real. I saw this guy's body suddenly bent, and he was about to kneel down in pain. Feng Ziying was not polite. He raised his left knee and hit it with a knee. He didn't dare to use too much force, and he didn't even dare to use too much force. If you dare to get in the other person's face, you're afraid that he won't be able to bear it.

 After all, the people in the capital city who are so arrogant must probably have some tricks up their sleeves.
