Since Chen Jue wanted to stay in Beijing, he had to find a place to study.
According to Chen Cang's intention, he still planned to find connections from the Hanlin Academy and send Chen Jue to Chunshan Academy.
However, Shen Rui did not think that Chen Jue should go to the academy now. It was already winter months. There was only four months left before the boy's examination next February. There was still a New Year's Eve in between. Even if he went to the academy, it was only three. Four months of hard work.
Just like him, he entered school in September last year and took the Boy Exam in February this year. He only studied in the academy for half a year, but when he entered school, the Shen family owe some favors.
Things that can be done with money are all small things, but Chunshan Academy’s path cannot be opened with money. Human favors are burdensome, and if you can owe one share, you will be one share.
In addition, Shen Rui took the initiative to leave Chunshan Academy and did not put the academy mark on himself. It would be a good thing that Chen Jue didn't enter from the beginning.
"Father, I'd better wait until Brother Jue takes the children's examination before making plans. If he passes the college entrance examination, he can go directly to the official school; if he gets stuck in the college entrance examination, it's not too late to go to the academy to study for two years." Shen Rui heard that Chen Cang's plan directly expressed his thoughts.
After hearing this, Chen Cang thought that what Shen Rui said made sense, but he was afraid that the second master and his wife would be too concerned. Chen Jue and Shen Rui were cousins, and there was no reason why the cousin could not go, but the cousin could not go.
Shen Rui said: "This is Brother Jue's own future. Why don't you ask Brother Jue first?"
Chen Cang asked Chen Jue. Although Chen Jue had some interest in Chunshan Academy earlier, it was because Chen Quan, Shen Rui, He Taizhi and others were all studying there. Now everyone is leaving almost the same, so he doesn't care.
Shen Rui only participated in the Boy Examination this year, and still remembers the three-examination process of the county government and the court. He sorted out all his notes and homework, and there were four boxes of manuscripts.
"I was preparing for the exam at home last year. Brother Jue read all these first, then set a charter for himself, and work hard at home for a few months." Shen Rui advised.
Chen Jue said astonished: "So many manuscripts? You can't be tired at least... I knew my second brother was diligent, but I didn't expect that he had reached this point. It seems that this 'client's head really cannot rely on luck..."
Shen Rui could calm down, but Chen Jue was very active. Thinking that he was going to study hard, he couldn't help but show his annoyance on his face and hesitated: "Or wait for two more years? Anyway, my second brother has also achieved fame, I It would be fine a few years earlier or later."
Shen Rui raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you study hard for four months and get a scholar's reputation and be regarded as an adult and enjoy it happily and wantonly; or do you study for another three years? You are still treated as a child at the age of seventeen or eighteen. You can do it yourself."
On one side, it’s four months and on the other side, it’s three years. Is it still necessary to choose?
In addition, the difference between the Qiao family’s masters today is that everyone knows that there is a benefit of fame and fortune.
Chen Jue came to fight, clenched his fist with his right hand, and hit his left palm and said, "Of course, it's only four months to choose the former, so why is it difficult?"
Shen Rui nodded with a smile. He was so energetic that he was the real boy.
He did not remind Chen Jue that these four months are the beginning. If you want to get the reputation of a scholar, you need to stay until mid-June, which is eight months, haha...
After a few days, Chen Cang Fu Mu.
Mr. Qiao San had already found out and handed over the post in advance. He came to the door to "redeem" this day.
For children, filial piety is a great thing. Not to mention that the Qiao family got into trouble with Guan Fei, Chen Cang's help, even if Chen Cang and his wife helped send Old Lady Qiao, Master Qiao San should be grateful.
As Xu said, Master Qiao San dared to test in front of Shen Rui and Chen Jue, but he was honest in front of Shen Cang, the always serious cousin, and did not mention Chen Yan and Chen brothers from beginning to end.
Chen Cang just did nothing.
In the patriarchal marriage, clan relatives have always been the priority, and outer relatives are second, and wife relatives are the least.
Among the people of the Qiao family, the only ones who are really convinced by the masters of the Shen family are the late Mrs. Qiao and the three masters.
The two words are about "the son of the mother" and the two aunts and cousins are all dressed in the slaughter.
When it comes to Shen Rui and Chen Jue brothers, the Chen Qiao family is distant relatives.
Chen Cang, for the sake of his deceased mother, would not ignore the Qiao family, but he also wanted the Qiao family to be tactful. He was already old and had a limited time to support Shen Rui. He would never give him a soft heart because of his temporary slut What burden does Shen Rui leave behind?
The Qiao brothers had a two-game relationship. Master Qiao San learned the secret from the beginning and was resentful to his brother. But that's it. Family scandals should not be made public. Master Qiao San will continue his career in the future and really want to make trouble at home. If you have a disobedience case, you will also be affected.
However, for this reason, only a few days after Mr. Qiao San returned to Beijing, the brothers and others separated.
Although the Qiao family has fallen, the few masters will not lack education in front of them, but they cannot be ashamed of brothers fighting for their fortunes. They invited relatives and relatives of several families, and the wives of each house were witnesses, and they quickly divided the families. .
But now, in the 100-day hot filial piety, and moving in the cold winter is inconvenient, several masters will separate their ancestry and not separate, and agreed to move after the New Year.
After Mr. Qiao San finished the family business, he remembered the matter of Chen Yan's brothers going to school. He had already inquired about it before. The best choice was Chunshan Academy and Nancheng Academy, and other academies were the first to go.
Chunshan Academy needs more relationships, but it is easier for Nancheng Academy.
Master Qiao San planned to send Chen Yan, Chen, Qiao Yongshan and the other three to Nancheng Academy, so he sent a message to Mr. Lao Shan Changtian of the academy and would take a few children to visit him this day.
Master Qiao San's teacher has an old age with Master Tian. Master Qiao San often goes to and from the Tian family with his mentor in his early years.
Qiao Yongde received the news and hurried over: "Uncle San, I also took my nephew..."
Master Qiao San frowned when he heard this. He had not included Qiao Yongde before, but was doing this on purpose.
Master Qiao secretly took the private house, and Mrs. Qiao broke into the family's family before splitting the family. The greedy faces of the brother and sister-in-law have made Master Qiao San impatient.
Qiao Yongde, the nephew, relied on being the eldest son of the house, was spoiled by his elders and acted in a bad manner. If you really want to talk about his elders, he was half a year older than Qiao Yongshan, but he didn't give in to his cousin at all. ;For the seventh brother, who was born in the second house, his nostrils were even close and he had no friendship at all.
With his brothers, Qiao Yongde asked his brothers to "brothers and friends"; with his cousins, he also asked his cousins to "brothers and respects". He himself was in the forefront, as if the younger generation only showed him. one.
Master Qiao San couldn't stand his nephew's behavior and was afraid that he would abduct his son and he made up his mind to separate the two.
"I'm going to visit the elders, not to go out for fun, so why do I add people temporarily? The fifth brother wants to go out for fun, so I go to find the eldest brother and the second brother," Mr. Qiao San said with a stern face.
Qiao Yongde's face was red, and his eyes looked at Qiao Yongshan with prayers.
Qiao Yongshan hesitated for a moment and whispered to the third master: "Dad..."
In the eyes of Master Qiao San, his son was not independent, but his cousin only followed his words.
His expression became colder, just pretending that he didn't hear it, he called Chen Yan, and let out a big step.
Seeing Qiao Yongde's insane appearance, although Qiao Yongshan felt a little reluctant, he did not dare to disobey his father and followed behind.
When we arrived at the Tian family, the great master of the Tian family was in good spirits and was gentle to the younger generations.
When Master Qiao San expressed his intention to come and wanted to send a few teenagers to study in Nancheng Academy, Master Tian said, "I'm old, I'm old, now the boss is taking care of it there. Please tell him to go..."
Director Tian Shanshan did not refuse at once, but he also showed difficulties. After all, Nancheng Academy is a private academy, with limited classroom size and limited student numbers. At the end of this year, it is not the time to recruit students.
Master Qiao San knew that this academy favorite talent was so he praised Chen Yan and brother Chen again and again. These brothers were two young scholars and one young scholars, and they were indeed able to show off. In addition, although these brothers were both father and grandfather, they were already After passing away, he had no relatives to rely on, but he was a scholarly child, father, ancestor, and Zeng clan all had fame and fortune for three generations, and was a "hot book" during the imperial examination.
After hearing this, General Tian Shan, after taking the school entrance exam himself, he was a little intentional and planned to accept the two brothers. As for Qiao Yongshan, he had to be a partner. However, he heard that the two brothers were "members from Songjiang Mansion". He swallowed the words on his lips again, just saying that he would think of a solution and ask Mr. Qiao San to listen to the news in a few days.
Although Master Qiao San was a little unhappy about this result, he also knew that he had something to ask for and could only follow the rules here.
If you can be a mountain leader in the Beijing Academy and make the academy prosperous, Tian Shanchang is not a corrupt scholar who is not familiar with the world.
After Master Qiao San and his side went, Chief Tian Shan sent someone to invite his sister-in-law, Master Chen San to come over.
"Which family is this from you? Now that you are in the middle of the capital, why aren't you the relatives of your tribes taking care of you, but instead joining the Yue family?" Tian Shanchang asked directly about Chen Yan and Brother Chen.
In the eyes of the world, the clan is the most important. The more scholars are, the more they like to trace the roots.
No matter who is placed in it, the young juren and young scholars are valued by their clan members. Even if they are a relative, they should start to care for and educate them at this time. If they are not accepted, unless they are faults of their father and grandfather, they will not be compatible with their relatives.
Chen Yan, the Chen Cang and his wife knew about Brother Chen, and Shen Rui knew about Brother Chen, but the third master didn't know about it.
He shook his head and said, "I've never heard of this person. There are eight house leaders in my hometown, dozens of juniors in the legitimate branch, and hundreds of common houses in the next branch. Who can remember which one is there?"
Although Tian Shanchang was keen on talent, he was worried that Chen Yan would not be innocent of his origin.
Master Chen San said, "Although I don't know, Brother Jue should know it."
Chen Jue was originally the grandson of the clan leader and the son of the clan. He grew up in Songjiang since he was young. This time he went to Beijing with the third master of the Qiao family. He should also know about the "son-in-law" of the third master of the Qiao family.
Shen Rui went to the official school, and Chen Jue was called to the Tian family. He was stunned when he heard that he was asking about the Chen Yan brothers.
The second wife was born in the Shen family's ancestors, and it was not worthy of being treated by outsiders.
He vaguely said: "I heard that their ancestors were sons of the outer family, and their ancestors and their fathers did not live in Songjiang. Chen Yan and his brothers returned to Songjiang after losing their father and had never been listed in the family tree."
After hearing this, Tian Shanchang felt that it was almost the same as what he had guessed.
The Shen family is a prominent family of scholars and children who cannot be included in the genealogy are mostly undecent mothers. However, these are several generations, and Chen Yan's father and grandparents have both fame and fame, which means that this identity does not hinder the law.
Tian Shanchang felt relieved and thought he could accept students.
Mr. Chen San was not easy to fool. The uncle and nephew left the Tian family and asked, "I just asked which family their brother was from under the head of the house. Why did Brother Jue avoid answering? Could it be that it was the sect or the sect branch of the second house. ?”
For the sake of the venerable, the only things that can make Chen Jue embarrassed are the two house leaders.
Chen Jue said the identity of Chen Yan's brother, and Master Chen San was speechless.
The Third Grand Master moved his household registration in his early years and went to Beijing alone, so Mr. Chen certainly knew about the incident. Whether it was not having contact with the family for decades or the Third Grand Master's gratitude to Mr. Sun, it was a follow-up to this matter.
After being surprised, Master Chen San became worried.
The two brothers were older than Shen Rui and Chen Jue, and now they have both fame and fortune. It would be impossible to be hostile to the second wife because of their ancestors.
The Tian family accepted them as students and would definitely teach them carefully. That was not to cultivate enemies for the Shen Rui and Chen Jue brothers.
Master Chen San said, "What do you say about your uncle?"
Chen Jue said: "Uncle said there is no need to be like facing a great enemy. As long as you don't provoke the Shen family, who will go?"
After hearing this, Master Chen San knew the intention of the elder brother, that was to keep the Chen Yan brothers as Shen Rui and Chen Jue's sharp knife stone.
He couldn't help but feel ashamed. When he thought that brothers Chen Yan might be hostile to him, he wanted to curb the development of the two brothers, which was not as good as brothers.
He glanced at Chen Jue and decided to be more attentive to the teaching of this nephew. Be prepared for any trouble. As a child of the Shen family, Shen Rui could not support the Shen family alone...
