"Good poem!"

Applause came from a large ship on the river.

Jingjiang is one of the six major water systems in the world. It is magnificent and has busy waterways. There are many ships coming and going. Many times, several ships often walk side by side.

The black-sailed boat that Chen Sanlang and He Weiyang were riding was a small boat. They did not dare to walk around the middle of the river, but tried to walk along the shore.

The big ship was dripping deep, and it was several feet away from the black-sailed boat. The direction was opposite, and it seemed to be heading towards Nanyang Prefecture. There was wind on the river surface, so you could hear Chen Sanlang chanting, which shows how sensitive this person's ears are, I'm afraid he is not an ordinary person.

Chen Sanlang was shocked and looked up and saw a flag hanging on the mast of the big ship, embroidered with a very ferocious tiger head, lifelike. Below the tiger head was a big word "Yuan". Look at this array, you will know that it is extraordinary.

He Weiyang screamed in surprise and whispered: "It's Huwei Guard."

Nowadays, the government is relaxed and the world is ready to move. In particular, the major prefectures and counties have a faint sense of separatism and division. As a chief official in the border, he holds great power and regards cultivating his confidant power as the primary priority.

The Huwei Guard was the armor that the governor of Yangzhou Yuan Wenchang trained. To be honest, the guard of the military guard was only loyal to the governor and did not listen to the court's call.

In Yangzhou's prefectures and cities, the Huwei Guard is well-known and well-known.

There was a man standing on the bow of the big ship, straight and not wearing armor, with a blue shirt flying, and a loud voice: "Who is the one who recites the poem?"

"Chen Daoyuan, Jingxian."

Chen Sanlang answered loudly.

The two ships intersected, gradually fading away.

There was a black-sailed boat behind. Captain Zhong was waving the slurry rod and preparing to reach a slightly remote river surface. He chased after him. At this moment, he suddenly saw someone on the boat hanging the Huwei Guard's flag asking Chen Sanlang's name, which was quite appreciative. He was shocked. He used too much force to break the slurry rod.

He was a captain, and was knowledgeable, so he naturally understood the great power of the three words "Tiger Power Guard". It was a terrifying soldier who dared to break into the yamen and kill the heads of the seventh-rank county magistrate.

So, what does it mean that people from Huwei Guard appreciate Chen Sanlang?

The man was at the bow of the ship and was guarding everyone, so he must be a big shot among the Huwei Guard.

"Is it the Confucian general of the Yuan family?"

Thinking of a possibility, Captain Zhong felt cold only: he was willing to serve the Huang County Magistrate and killed people without hesitation, but when the weak scholar who was facing him might provoke Shenwei, it was another matter.

Although the other party only asked for the name and had no specific implementation, Captain Zhong was immersed in the officialdom for many years and was well aware of the three flavors. He knew that the more he was, the more he was, every move, every word and action, and he often had deep meaning and would not do unnecessary things.

Asking for a name is a very particular thing.

In Jing County, Captain Zhong followed the county master Zun to receive many great people, and those people never asked him what his surname was.

If you don’t ask the name, it means that you are not interested in knowing who you are, like an ant, without any sense of existence.

But now, the leader of the Huwei Guard asked Chen Sanlang.

This is a signal.

How dare Captain Zhong act rashly again?

This matter involves Huwei Guard, and it must be reported to the Magistrate Huang to know. How to make a decision is the adult's business.

...

The sails were flying, and when they arrived in Jingxian, they got off the boat and entered the city, and the journey was fine. Yesterday, Nanyang Prefecture announced the list of scholars. Jingxian should have received news, and the county government had to post red paper to express their congratulations.

In other words, Huang County Magistrate must have known that Chen Sanlang passed the exam to the scholar.

If you have fame and fortune, you should be different. You will no longer be a commoner who can be controlled by others. Even if the magistrate of Huang County is unwilling to give in, you must have some concerns.

Today, someone in the county town held a wedding ceremony, but it was the Liu family who married his daughter and married his daughter to the Wang Qianzhu in the west of the city. Wang Qianzhu was over 50 years old and was a widower. Many people secretly discussed it and said that a flower was placed on cow dung. But who said that Wang's widower could pay a 300-yuan charity bonus? Such a large sum of money is hard for parents not to be moved.

Especially the Liu couple, they laughed so hard that they couldn't see each other when they got the betrothal gift and couldn't stop talking.

Today is the auspicious day of the zodiac, so I will get the wedding. When the time comes, the rich man Wang comes to welcome the bride.

Jingxian County is so big that there are happy events. Everyone in the city heard about it. Many people came to watch the fun and asked for some wedding candy. There were also groups of naughty children chasing and playing, laughing and making noise, which made it seem lively.

Suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd, and some people said: "Chen Sanlang finished the examination and returned home from Nanyang Prefecture..."

"Just go home, it's a big deal."

"You don't know yet. They have passed the college entrance examination and are scholars."

"Ah, how is that possible?"

"The county government has issued red papers and announced that there are only two people in our county town who have passed the exam for scholars this year, and Sanlang is one of them."

"Let's go see the scholar!"

The crowd suddenly scattered and rushed to the Chen family.

In fact, there is nothing to see for scholars. The key is that Chen Sanlang passed the scholar exam, which makes people feel fresh and surprising. In the past, the Chen family may have some joy and money to distribute. Although scholars are not as good as those of Jinshi, they are also fame after all.

The crowd dispersed and the door was deserted. The Liu family was very puzzled. Mrs. Liu came out in panic to ask. When she heard that Chen Sanlang had actually passed the scholar exam, she couldn't help but be stunned: "Isn't this kid unable to take the exam? Why did the boy get the scholar exam so smoothly? "

"If I knew that he could get a scholar, it would be nice to give Meier a little cheaper..."

The fame of scholars is the threshold for the imperial examination. It does not have much glory or benefits, but it is also a halo of fame that ordinary people are eager to.

The more important thing is to step into this threshold. From then on, the road ahead will be broad and there are many possibilities. If you pass the provincial examination again, you will be a real person like a husband.

Chen Sanlang has only won the championship this year, but he is actually quite young.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu felt inexplicably regretful, as if a large ball of weed was stuffed into her heart, and she felt so depressed.

But everything is irreversible.

The Chen family was surrounded by crowds, and neighbors came to congratulate each other, and they were neglected when Jiang Cao Qi committed a murder case.

People already have respect for Jiang Caoqi, who dares to act. Now Sanlang has successfully passed the exam for scholars and has a bright family. He should come over to congratulate him, show his face, and ask for some love in the countryside.

Chen Wangshi, who was dressed in plain clothes, was overjoyed and quickly ordered Uncle Hua and Xiao Cui to buy candy and snacks to entertain everyone. She made another cruel decision and took out a handful of copper coins and asked Uncle Hua to spread them at the door and let others pick them up.

This is called "money good news", which is a local custom.

At this time, when Chen Sanlang returned home, it was a scene again. It took him half an hour to spread out slowly.

Uncle Hua prepared three animals, namely chicken, duck, and fish, which are commonly known as "three animals", and placed them one by one on the Chen family's divine platform.

Chen Wang took Chen Sanlang to worship his ancestors. When the woman saw her son with a firm face, she could no longer hold back and she burst into tears.

...

In the backyard of the yamen, County Magistrate Huang's face was gloomy and he heard the report from Captain Zhong. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak: Chen Sanlang was not surprised to pass the exam. After all, he passed the college entrance examination, how could he not have much score to learn? But how could this boy be appreciated by the great figure of Huweiwei?

I heard from Captain Zhong that it was because of a poem, but Captain Zhong did not hear clearly the specific content and had no way to understand it.

The development and changes of the situation are really unexpected. It should have been a weak sheep, but suddenly it turned into a hedgehog full of thorns and could not do anything at all.

After pondering for a while, County Magistrate Huang asked: "Old Zhong, do you know why the people from Shenweiwei appeared in Nanyang Prefecture?"

Captain Zhong replied: "It should be related to the human-eating demon. Although the news is strictly prohibited from being spread in the city, how can such an accident be hidden?"

If there are demons in the jurisdiction, it is impossible for the governor to sit idly by and send the Shenwei Guard to inspect and suppress it. It is reasonable.

Aide Zhang next to him said, "Sir, it's just asking for a name, maybe it's not as we imagined."

The Huang County Magistrate sighed: "What if? What if that person really appreciates this son and asks him when he arrives in the city, he will only have a few words. But many times, one sentence is enough to change a person's destiny, or even a group of people's destiny."

During this period of time, he slowly walked out of the grief of his nephew's murder and began to become calm. He was a very patient person, so he could wait until the old county magistrate retired and replace him.

Aide Zhang was silent and admitted that the adults were right. Even if it was one in ten thousand possible, it was a potential huge risk if it had something to do with Huwei Guard. If you made a mistake, not only would your future be ruined, but your life would not be saved.

The Huang County Magistrate said sadly: "Let's give up this matter for the time being, and wait and see if it changes. Chen Sanlang is a snake, a dragon, a fish, or an insect, you will know it if you look at it."

Generally speaking, if you get the title of a scholar, you will go to school and study abroad next. It is a kind of experience, so you can make a lot of people and accumulate reputation.

Names seem false, but in fact they are the most important. Sages have said: "If the name is not upright, the words will not be as smooth as possible"; they also say "be careful with the name"; there is also a commandment: "Great practices receive great names, and subtle practices receive detailed names."

All of them illustrate the importance of "name".

Getting a scholar is only the first step. The next performance is crucial. The provincial examination three years later will be the real life test. It is not only talent and learning, but also personal accumulation. During these three years, if you are unknown and have no outstanding points, you will not even be qualified for the provincial examination.

There are two main aspects of the qualification for the provincial examination. One is that the grades are outstanding in the annual examination; the other is that they are recommended by officials, gentry and celebrities.

Both actually need reputation support.

Empty and understanding of human nature means writing. Since ancient times to the present, nerds who study hard have never been able to enter the house. Even if they pass the exam, they cannot gain a foothold in the complex officialdom.

After the Huang County Magistrate made a decision, Captain Zhong and Aide Zhang naturally would not have any objection. Anyway, this matter was the private matter of the county master, and the adults could be open to it. What could they not be open to it as subordinates? However, Jiang Caoqi's killing of the official officer and fleeing was delayed, which was a headache. In desperation, he had to issue documents, list Jiang Caoqi as a fugitive, and sent the documents to other prefectures and counties through the post station, requesting joint arrest.

He also sent a yamen to bring the Chen family members to the hall to ask if he knew about Jiang Cao's killing the enemy and escaped. Chen Wangshi and others insisted on not knowing it - they didn't know it at all, and from beginning to end, it was Chen Sanlang who planned it.

County Magistrate Huang did not dare to use torture, and after asking, he had to let the person go home.
