The academic magistrate is appointed for three years, and the term is from the end of the provincial examination to the end of the next provincial examination.
In this way, this year's new scholar is the first batch of students selected by Xuezheng after taking office. Since Shen Rui was the "head of the case" who was selected by Xuezheng himself, he naturally had an impression of him.
On the surface, this person has nothing to do with the Shen family and Shen Rui. In fact, he is in the officialdom and has connections everywhere, so how can he really be inseparable?
This man is a fellow townsman with the late former head of the Ministry of Rites Wang Pu, and has some distant relatives. Wang Pu is the same year as Yang Tinghe, a Grand Secretary of Zuochunfang. The two of them established a baby marriage for Yang Shen, the eldest son of the Yang family, and the queen of the Wang family.
However, there were not many people in the capital who knew the relationship between Yang and Wang families. It was just because Wang Pu was in poor health and died of illness a few years after passing the Jinshi exam and entered the Sixth Division. His wife and children returned to their hometown.
The academic and political consultant chose Shen Rui as the "head of the case", which did have the intention of establishing a connection with the Yang family.
Otherwise, the top ten articles in the college entrance examination list have their own strengths, and Shen Rui is not unique.
Although the academic government has selfish intentions, it will not have a relationship with Shen Rui in full view. He looks like a kind elder, and he looks like a few civil servants wearing flowers for the new students.
Although it is late summer and the flowers are blooming, the flowers used for hairpin are not the flowers in time, but the red silk flowers.
The civil servant held a red tray, each of the new students had a silk flower, and a hairpin was on the side of the Confucian scarf.
It is said to be a feast for hairpins, but it is more of a ritual test. The watch and cold match on the table are just beautiful in style. It is not easy to eat enough.
Although some of the students on other tables were dancing in all directions regardless of their faces, the ten people on the table were obviously restrained, and they just held up their chopsticks and meant it.
For the wine on the table, no one can drink a cup of wine except for the first time.
Those who showed up with the students and government officials were also professors and teachers from various prefectures, prefectures and counties in northern Zhili. They came to pick up new disciples. After the hairpin banquet, students from all over the country would pay their respects to the teacher and follow the school officials back to their hometowns to enroll.
When the banquet was over, there was a regular show behind it, so the new student worshipped Confucius.
All new scholars start with "affiliated students". According to their origins, they will be divided into the ranks of the official schools of each prefecture, prefecture and county through the annual examination. They will be divided into ranks of students, and the levels of students and students will be increased and attached.
Although it is not popular to "catch son-in-law under the list", the newcomer's hairpin banquet will still attract the attention of local people, and the female family members of small families will also come out to see the young scholars shyly.
It was lively and a few hours ago, and everyone was covered in dust, and all the rituals ended.
As a native of Shuntian Prefecture, Shen Rui ranked first in the college examination and directly entered Shuntian Prefecture's official school as a "protective student". He Taizhi, who ranked low, was under the name of Daxing County's official school.
After half a day, not only did Shen Rui get familiar with the few people at the same table, but He Taizhi also made two new friends.
The two groups got together and went to a restaurant not far from the school.
Here in Shen Rui, the remaining students of Nancheng Academy, Wang Ding, who was the second student in the same year, Hu Chunfang, who was the third student in Bazhou, and Zhou Ran, who was the ninth senior director of Chunshan Academy. The first three were from Shuntian Prefecture, and the latter one was the one who sent a family.
Daxing County, the officials in Shuntian Prefecture were admitted to the new affiliated students, and they will become classmates in the prefecture.
Hu Chunfang refused to let everyone go and insisted on taking everyone to have tea, in order to cultivate friendship between classmates as soon as possible.
He Taizhi made two new friends, either from Daxing County, but from two young scholars in Wanping County, Ye Ke, thirteen years old, and Li Zhidao, eleven years old. Seeing that they were dressed, they were not
Like a commoner's child
Shen Rui was worried that He Tai was a man, and He Taizhi also brought new friends to show Shen Rui, so he got together.
Two groups of seven went to the teahouse, asked for a private room, and talked about the Gengchi seat.
Hu Chunfang was pushed to the first seat at the age of 16, and Zhou Ran was reunited at the age of 15, followed by Shen Rui, Ye Ke, He Taizhi, and Li Zhidao.
Although these seven people are in the top ten, and the three young scholars are all at the end of the list, but here, if you really want to start with your talent and learning potential, you may not be worse than the older ones.
Although Hu Chunfang is older than everyone else, she is not "relying on her seniority" and is very enthusiastic about everyone.
However, when He Taizhi heard that Zhou Ran was also going to study in the official school, he was a little surprised and asked, "Senior brother won't go back to the academy to study?"
Zhou Ran said: "I want to take the New Year exam, which is cheaper in the official school."
After he said this, both Wang Ding and Hu Chunfang looked at him.
Hu Chunfang blinked and said, "Is this planning to participate in the provincial examination after the next year?"
Zhou Ran nodded and said, "Although there are many shortcomings, I want to try it."
Although he is modest, he is young and energetic, and he brings some pride.
A few young scholars looked at Zhou Ran with admiration and envy.
Wang Ding held the teacup without saying anything.
Hu Chunfang's smile even more: "Then we should encourage you more with Brother Zhou in the future..."
Among all the people here, he is the oldest and does not want to delay. It is also expected that he will take the next provincial examination.
He Taizhi was a little depressed, but he thought about the time. Even if Zhou Ran could take the next provincial examination, he was still seventeen years old. Even if he took the next provincial examination, he was still seventeen years old. If he calculated from the time, he would be compared.
Everyone is three years late; from the perspective of age, everyone is almost the same.
He felt relieved and looked at Shen Rui who was smiling and listening to everyone's words.
Zhou Ran was only ninth in the college entrance examination, so he regarded the fame of Juren as something that was within reach; Rui cousin "head of the case" of the college entrance examination, and mentioned that the next provincial examination was still walking on thin ice, and he did not dare to slacken in his homework at all.
Zhou Ran usually looks good, but compared with cousin Rui, he seems frivolous and ridiculous.
He Taizhi's hearts were compared with Shen Rui and Zhou Ran, and Wang Ding and Hu Chunfang were naturally comparing, and they had their own thoughts.
Zhou Ran did not notice the change in the atmosphere on the seat, but instead took the initiative to talk to Shen Rui about Shen Quanlai.
Hu Chunfang saw the difference between Zhou Ran and treated others. He treated Shen Rui and He Taizhi were more friendly than others. He was slightly worse with the two young scholars, and ignored Hu Chunfang and Wang Ding.
Hu Chunfang sneered in secret. He was just a poor Hanlin nephew, so he realized that it was really ridiculous. The Shangshu Master next to him had not spoken, so he just waited for the people to be divided into different levels. What a thing?
Hu Chunfang's family was the head of the gentry in Bazhou. There were thousands of hectares of fertile land in the family. Even if they were not children of the official family, there were many people who became officials among their relatives and relatives. A Hanlin official really didn't take it seriously.
The atmosphere on the tea table was no longer the first harmony, and there was a bit of a cold moment.
Shen Rui felt bored and wanted to leave early, but seeing He Taizhi talking with two new friends, he didn't want to discourage his interest.
At this time, I heard a noise at the door.
Everyone looked at the door and saw the door of the private room being pushed open, revealing two young men, one tall and one short.
He Taizhi stood up and said with surprise: "Brother Shou, Brother Gao"
Shen Rui also looked at the door.
Unlike when he showed up in the first two times, Shou Ge no longer dressed as a beggar, but was wearing red silk clothes, holding a white jade folding fan in his hand, and a mutton fat jade peace sign hanging around his waist, and a rich young man's face.
appearance.
Gao Wenhu was still a civilian, and he looked even darker than two months ago.
Brother Shou smiled and entered the elegant room, looked at the red silk flowers on the tea table, closed the folding fan in his hand, and said, "I came one step late, and I didn't see the charm of Brother Shen and Taizhi's hairpin..."
While he was talking, he looked at other guests again. When he saw the young Ye Ke and Li Zhidao, he looked at them twice.
His eyes were almost rude, but he was a good-looking young man with beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he had a smile on his face, making people feel disgusted.
Hu Chunfang said with a little curiosity: "Hengyun, who are these two?"
Shen Rui looked at Shou Ge's slightly joking eyes and felt his scalp numb. He introduced Shou Ge and Gao Wenhu to everyone, and only talked about his friends.
Zhou Ran was very concerned about Shou Ge. Although Shou Ge was young, his every move was majestic, unlike ordinary people. In addition, the jade pendant on his waist and the folding fan in his hand looked like a vulgar thing. Generally, wealthy families are also
If you don’t take out such a thing and give it to a teenage child, wouldn’t it be a pity if you lose it?
However, when Shen Rui gave an introduction, he would introduce it to everyone first, rather than to the person who came first. He knew that this "Brother Shou" was probably just a child of an official who Shen Rui knew. He should have no noble status, otherwise it would not be this.
Introduction method.
However, he only judged people according to wealth, honor and inferiority, but forgot to start from the rituals. Shen Rui introduced his old friends to new friends first, which should be different from close to alienated friends. It is also polite to introduce them to new friends first.
.
He was the nephew of Hanlin, and was born into a family of scholars and works. He was always despised by the wealthy and noble playboys.
When he saw each other twice, Zhou Ran raised his chin and did not give him more face just because the other party was Shen Rui's friend.
Shou Ge has always been arrogant, and he has always been the only one who picks and despises others. Now that he is attracted by such a look, he doesn't feel angry, but only feels strange.
Wang Ding was forced to come by Hu Chunfang, and he also had the idea of knowing more about Shen Rui. Seeing that several students were not interested in talking, Shen Rui had friends again, so he got up and said goodbye.
Zhou Ran seemed to be friends with Wang Ding, and followed him. Seeing this, Ye Ke and Li Zhidao hesitated for a few moments and said goodbye to everyone.
They were young and their families were worried. They arranged a lot of people to accompany them and told them to go home early
In a blink of an eye, Hu Chunfang was the only new friend left.
Although he had nothing to do, he was tactful, so he made an appointment with Shen Rui to visit the professor and found an excuse to leave. Before leaving, he did not forget to settle the tea money first and instructed the waiter to give it to Shen.
Rui's private room has changed a new tea.
In the private room, only four old friends were left.
He Taizhi punched Brother Shou hard and said, "You didn't say you would come to your aunt's house to find me to play with me again? As a result, there was no movement for so many days, and there was no news..."
Brother Shou said with a little white teeth: "I'm not afraid of delaying your college entrance examination. If I'm so ignorant and disturbing you to work hard, Mrs. Xu will keep me out next time..."
He Taizhi rolled his eyes and said, "It's all excuses. It must be because you were so ruthless a few days ago and were detained by your elders to study?" He paused and said, "Is it because you last replied
The reason why you go out to visit in patchwork clothes? If you are caught, it will be lighter to lock you up for two months."
Brother Shou still smiled, but he didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes were filled with coldness...
