Yang Tinghe, who passed the imperial examination at the age of 12, passed the imperial examination at the age of 19, was 42 years old this year, and is now a senior citizen of Zuochunfang.
Before Shen Rui went out with Xu, Shen Rui had recorded Yang Tinghe's resume in his heart, but he couldn't help but admire him. Although he has not yet come to the boy's test, there are many brothers around him who take the exam. Chen Jin 14th After passing the college entrance examination every year, they were praised by their clan members, and the other school officials believed that the future was promising. Yang Tinghe was a provincial examination that was twelve years old. If he pushed forward a year, he would be the college entrance examination that was eleven years old.
The so-called child prodigy, that's it.
You need to become famous as early as possible, and this makes sense.
When Yang Ting and the Ministry of Rites passed the examination, he was only in the third grade and was nineteen years old. Even if he was a young Jinshi, he had a little more value than "天" and his value was lower. However, because he was the youngest juren from the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he had already Those who had prepared a case in front of the imperial court were able to enter the Kunchangyuan as a Jinshi and then enter the Hanlin area.
With such a capable person comparing, Shen Rui was thinking about the time he took the exam in his mind.
Next year, he will be fourteen years old and will be the boy exam; later he will be the provincial exam at the age of sixteen. If it goes well, he will be the first exam at the age of seventeen.
Yang Tinghe passed the imperial examination at the age of twelve, but he passed the imperial examination at the age of twelve, which shows how difficult the imperial examination is.
Among the Shen family, the Shui generation, the Grand Master of Zongfang, the Grand Master of Chen, the Grand Master of the Five Room, the Second Master of the Seventh Room, and the Grand Master of the Eighth Room are all Juren. Among them, Chen Juren is also a Young Juren, but they will all fail the exam.
Thinking about the probability of the trial, Shen Rui felt his scalp tingling, but in this era, he had no chance to choose.
The Yang family is located in the Lighting House, just across the street from Renshoufang where the sunken house is located.
Yang Tinghe's second wife, Yu, had a distant relative to Xu, but he had to take a few turns and was farther away.
When you arrive at Shen Rui, you will call Yu a "cousin" and call him "cousin".
Because he came to visit Xu and because of his relatives of Yu, Shen Rui first met Yu after he arrived at Yang's house.
During the Ming Dynasty, the ritual system was held for three years.
However, if my father is alive, my mother will only have to be kept for one year.
Shen Rui lived in Xishan Temple for three years. The previous year was called filial piety, and the next two years was also called health preservation.
This is also why Yang Ting and Hongzhi lost their mother in the twelfth year and were able to enter the house in less than two years, because they had already been sent to the hospital.
Yu was seventeen years old and less than a year after entering the house. He was still a bride at this time and was still a little shy in his words and deeds.
When she met Xu, she was close and respectful. It was not because of the imperial edict, but because of the same generation as her, she should be older than her parents.
Although Shen Rui is not low in height, he is a teenage figure. He has a tender face and his voice has not yet passed the phonation period.
Yu answered a few words with him, then went to Kujin and said to Xu: "Brother Rui is about the same age as my brother. When he sees him, he remembers my brother."
The father of Yu was originally a small and medium-sized official in Beijing. This year, the "Beijing Chair" was rated as the top rank and was released from the magistrate.
Xu smiled and said, "Their nephews and uncles are similar in age, and there will always be times when they get close to each other..."
Yu smiled and said, "What my cousin said is exactly this. It is rare for me to come over. My sisters, brothers, should come over to pay tribute to me..." After that, he ordered my maid to go and inherit the man.
After a moment, a few children came in with the maid, ranging from three to four to twelve to three or three years old.
What surprised Shen Rui was that Yang Shen was also among them.
The two of them looked at each other, both of them widened their eyes, and immediately looked away.
From height to short, six radish heads, except for the eldest son Yang Shen and the eldest daughter Yang Tian, who were born by his wife, the second brother, third brother, fourth brother and second sister of the Yang family were born by Yang Ting and the Jiang family.
In this era, it was nothing to do with a literati and a wife and a concubine. But what made Shen Rui feel uncomfortable was that although Yang Er was nine years old, he was half a year older than Yang Tian.
Although the present time, Yang Erwang honestly called Shen Rui "Cousin Chen"; if the marriage between the two families really came true, this would be his inner brother.
Xu gave gifts to several children in turn. It has to be said that the children of the Yang family looked very decent, especially the four brothers born by Jiang, who were more beautiful than Yang Shen and Yang Tian. , it can be seen that his biological mother's appearance is definitely not bad.
Yang Ting and his wife Huang had nothing to do except the eldest son and eldest daughter, and the remaining children were covered by the side room. Even if there was no news of "possessing concubines and destroying their wives" spread, no one was foolish. A carrot head is evidence.
Thinking of this, Xu was inevitably complaining about Yang Tinghe, and he felt a little pity for Yang Shen and Yang Tian.
Xu came for Yang Tian, so he naturally pulled Yang Tian to the front and asked about his usual preferences carefully.
Although Yang Tian’s parents were from Shu, they were born and raised in the capital. They spoke in a whim and responded frivolously. They were a very cheerful little girl without any distortion.
Although her appearance is not as good as a concubine's sister, she is much better than ordinary people.
Mrs. He praised her for being beautiful and beautiful, and she was not without reason.
Xu herself has a dignified and generous personality, so she naturally can't stand the shy little lady. Yang Tian's temperament is just right for her appetite.
In addition, although Yang Tian is only nine years old, he has a good foundation and has a black hair. He has a white skin, a goose face and willow-leaf eyebrows. Although Xu is looking forward to Shen Rui getting married soon, he is not willing to make a small baby for him. But since the wife is explained by her husband, she can only think about the better.
Shen Rui was by his side and could only be speechless.
Xu sees Yang Tian as a natural beauty, while Shen Rui sees her as a large doll.
My nine-year-old fiancée felt a chill just by thinking about it.
The children were all around. Although Xu was close to Yang Tian, he did not neglect others. He paid special attention to Yang Tian’s brother Yang Shen.
When I heard that Yang Shen had passed the college entrance examination and was now at Chunshan Academy, Xu's smile became more sincere: "My second brother is also studying there. In the future, he can ask him for advice when he encounters difficulties in his studies. Brother.
This also shows Xu's open-mindedness. If someone else had no son in his life, he would have to stare at him like an eyeball if he chose an heir.
In addition to the two servants around Shen Rui, Changfu was the son of the Shen family. It would not be difficult for Xu to know about Shen Rui’s relationships and friendships in the academy, but Xu never did.
Although she also asked about Shen Rui’s friendship situation, she did not tie Shen Rui to her eyes, so she didn’t know that Shen Rui had just made new friends.
Shen Rui was very uncomfortable, and Yang Shen was not feeling well.
He took the initiative to stay at home today. Even though he could not make the decision on his sister's marriage, he was still worried. The loving mother passed away, and now they depend on each other for life and are the closest people.
After he learned about this marriage, he was secretly happy that Shen Rui was not fake.
After all, marriage is a major event, and the parents' orders and matchmakers' words. If a younger sister promises others, he will still have to worry about his son-in-law's character. When he comes to Shen Rui, he will at least be half relieved.
He stayed at home not to see Shen Rui, but to meet Xu.
Xu is Shen Ruisi's mother, not his biological mother. If he has a bad temper and becomes a relative in the future, it will be even more difficult to get along with.
After seeing Xu, Yang Shen felt completely at ease.
The appearance is born from the heart. Xu speaks with a clear and honest look, and his face is dignified, and he does not have a sharp aura.
Yu was quite concerned about Yang Shen, the stepson who had just returned home.
She was not happy with this marriage. She knew her identity. She was the stepwife from a small family, the legitimate children left by her first wife, and the four concubines who were beloved concubines, and she could not control her.
I was so happy to be a hand-off manager and had no intention of interfering in the stepchildren's marriage.
Leave it to her master to make decisions, and she can’t blame her for her good or bad.
Who would have thought that the person who is talking about marriage is her distant relative.
If there is a bad thing in the future, the whole family will blame her.
But now that Mr. He is a mediator, the master did not shake his head here, and the two families began to fall in love with each other, so Yu could only hope for the result.
Seeing that Yang Shen's expression was slowing down and he had no intention of resisting this marriage, Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "It just so happened that our master was off today, so Brother Rui would follow our elder brother to meet our master..."
Xu nodded and said, "That's what it should be..."
Yu asked Yang Shen to take Shen Rui to the front yard study room, and then asked his foster mother to take other children down.
After the house was clear, Yu's tense expression relaxed.
The stepmother was embarrassed. Seeing her like this, Xu couldn't help but say mercilessly: "Your parents are also cruel to such a family..."
Yu said softly: "It's because I'm a poor life. I thought I wanted the Qinglan Ancient Buddha for the rest of my life. Now I can't imagine the result of this..."
Like the little lady of the He family, she got engaged in a marriage in her early years and died before she could get married. When she talked about other people, it was hard to say that a marriage was of equal status. Apart from marrying far away, she could only be a stepwife.
Xu thought of her niece, although she was also a second wife, compared with Yu's children, she was better...
Shen Rui and Yang Shen left the main courtyard, and Yang Shen snorted and glared at Shen Rui fiercely.
Shen Rui was embarrassed and ashamed. If he hadn't said those words to the master and pointed out Yang Tinghe, the master wouldn't have thought of marriage. He had lived for two lifetimes, and he would have to use that little "prophet" to use
Marriage is a means to curry favor with future powers and wealthy people, and this cannot be said to be the right way.
If Yang Tinghe's daughter was now a young girl, even if Shen Rui felt ashamed, he would be willing to go with the flow.
But the person she faced was a nine-year-old girl, and Shen Rui felt embarrassed.
Yang Shen wanted to stab Shen Rui for a few words, but seeing that Shen Rui looked strange, he swallowed the words on his lips again.
He is the same age as Shen Rui, and because of his intelligence, he never regards himself as a child. Now he is thirteen years old. Although he is dedicated to studying, he is not a big mess. He knows a little bit about men and women. He thinks about it with his heart, he is self-centered.
Will you fall in love with a nine-year-old child? The answer is no.
Thinking of this, Yang Shen felt a little nervous.
He was silent for a while, and then he said to Shen Rui awkwardly about Yang Tinghe's preferences.
When Shen Rui saw Yang Shen "releasing water", he was surprised, but he listened carefully...
