The four hundred and fortieth chapters head horns (1)
People value clan relatives the most. Even if the second house in the capital is thousands of miles apart from Songjiang, since they have arrived, Chenzhou and the third master must have asked a few more questions. When they learn that these two are now living in the fifth house, Chen Jin is another one. If there is a place to live, Chenzhou no longer needs to leave them here to settle.
These relatives are all visiting their homes for the first time. Today is "Sanqi" and there is a ceremonial cereal here, so Chenzhou and others used lunch. After lunch, Chen Quan took two elders of the Shui generation back first. Chen Jin did not leave with him, and followed Shen Rui to Jiuruju.
"Thank you, brother Rui, about the house..." Chen Jin was a little grateful.
Shen Rui waved his hand and said, "But it's a simple task, it's cheap. Just as there is a house there... It's better to go to and from the Gongyuan next year than to the side..."
Chen Jin still said, "For Brother Rui, it may be a mere effort, but it will be a great help to me. If I can't settle my aunt well, I will be worried."
Shen Rui nodded and said, "It's always a good thing to reunite with flesh and blood... But Brother Jin shouldn't think too much. Now it's time to concentrate on preparing for the exam."
Chen Jin nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Rui, I will prepare well, no matter what the grades are, I will wait for this day..." Speaking of this, he took out a heavy brocade bag from his sleeve and placed it on the tea table. Previous: "This is the money I borrowed from my second brother Rui last year. I should have exchanged the silver for delivery. But when I first arrived in the capital, I was not familiar with the money shop, so I just brought the gold."
When Shen Rui heard this, he frowned and said, "I'm not in a hurry to use it. Brother Jin is going to send it here in a hurry? The cost of the capital is high, so you should keep it and use it first."
Chen Jin said: "Don't worry, I've left another money. This time I went to Beijing, I brought some money here... Next spring exam, no matter whether it's on the list, the subsequent expenses will not be small. If I don't bring the money here , do you still have to continue to borrow from Brother Rui?”
After hearing what he said, Shen Rui didn't say anything more, saying, "There is still three months left before the spring examination. Is Brother Jin planning to study behind closed doors, or visit a few great scholars, or have other social interactions?"
If an ordinary juren enters Beijing, if he wants to communicate with others, no one may pay attention to him, but Chen Jin is different. Jie Yuan in Nanzhili is almost a qualified Jinshi. In addition, he is a member of the Shen family and a brother of the Chenli clan. He is willing to help Chen with face and sells his face. There are many people who comment on the article.
Chen Jin thought for a while and said, "If it's cheap, I want to visit my brother of the sixth clan, and several fellow villagers of the same year I met when I was preparing for the exam in Nanjing. The master of the He family also wants to go there. Others are temporarily taken care of. Not to... "
Although Shen Rui didn't even end up in the provincial examination this year, those who have been instructing homework in the past two years have been Shen Li. Top scholars like Wang Hua and Mao Cheng, as well as great scholars like Yang Tinghe and Wang Shouren, are naturally extraordinary scholars. It's about The spring exam preparations were also given by several top scholars and great scholars. Among them, there were some tricks to be clever.
Shen Rui looked at Chen Jin and his mind flew.
If you want to talk about deep brotherly love, Shen Rui himself doesn't believe it, but he wants to help Chen Jin at this time.
As his benign brother, Chen Jin cannot break up his relationship with Shen Rui, at least in the eyes of the world. Chen Jin's high school juren can support the four-bedroom gate, which is exactly what Shen Rui hopes; if Chen Jin goes further , making a name for himself in the spring exam is not a bad thing for Shen Rui.
On the second house, the third master is in the body. Even if he becomes an official, he is just a casual position. Chenzhou is unreliable, so it is always good to have more foreign aid.
Shen Rui understood this and nodded and said, "Brother Jin made the arrangements right, with Tang Yin's previous experience. Instead of calling friends and socializing, it is better to prepare for the exam with peace of mind. Let's talk about it after the spring exam..."
People are all jealous, and literati are despised and jealousy is even more intense.
There are not many people like Shen Rui who are a scholar but can face a new science and technology with a good future with a peaceful attitude. No matter what, more people will feel envious and jealous in their hearts.
The "fraud case" of the imperial examination in the 12th year of Hongzhi was ridiculous, but Tang Yin was eventually dismissed from the officialdom because of his improper friendship and being too arrogant and taboo.
Tang Yin was a talented man with a reputation in Jiangnan. Whether he was Jie Yuan in high school or was imprisoned, it caused Nan Shilin to be shocked. Chen Jin naturally remembered this. He immediately became more alert and was solemn on his face, saying: "Thank you, my second brother, I will be careful about my words and actions..."
Although Chen Jin is five years older than Shen Rui on the surface, Chen Jin is not a real young man. I can't say that he has grown up because he has not been easy for him in the past few years. It's not just the past, but think about Mrs. Zhang. With Chen Yuan's character, even if Chen Jin had two elders in Chunying High School, who would know when he would give birth to a young moth in the future?
"Brother Qi will also end next year. If Brother Jin is free, get along with Brother Qi more... Today, Brother Qi has something to do and is not here. When Brother Jin meets Brother Qi, he will send a message on my behalf and let Qi ask him to do so. Second brother came over, Brother Jin came too..." Shen Rui thought about it and swallowed what he was going to say. One sheep was also driven, two sheep were also put away, and the fifth house was helping him in recent years Many of them, I didn’t expect it before, but now I think about it, but I don’t have the truth about losing the five-bedroom house.
Although in terms of blood relationship, Chen Jin and Shen Rui are closer to the fifth house than the third brothers and Shen Rui; in terms of relationships, Chen Jin is just a stranger who needs to be polite and not familiar with; in terms of five houses and three brothers are He regards Shen Rui as brothers and sisters, and Shen Rui treats them as real relatives.
Shen Rui wanted to speak but stopped. Although Chen Jin was a little confused, he didn't ask much, and nodded and said, "I went to Uncle Hong's house yesterday. I have settled in the past two days. I have to go over and report to my elders... I don't know that the second brother of Rui Is it urgent to do something? If it is not urgent, I and my second brother Qi will come here at 57; if it is urgent, we will come tomorrow and the next day..."
Shen Rui thought about the time and said, "It's not too late to hurry up. If Brother Qi's second place is cheaper, Brother Jin, you can come here tomorrow..."
By the next day, not only Chen Jin and Chen Qi came, but Chen Quan also came with a little curiosity and joined in the fun.
What Shen Rui said was not lively.
Some things that are implemented in words, and some can only be passed down by word of mouth. Some test-taking skills are fine, one force will reduce ten times. For example, like Chen Jin, as long as the article is not off-distance, it is just a icing on the cake; for Chen Qi, What can be raised or lowered is to be regarded as a treasure.
There is also news related to next year's spring exam, which is the resume and articles of several Hanlin bachelor's and ministers of the Ministry of Rites who may be selected as the examiner. This is a multi-profit. As for whether the final examiner can be obtained from these people. No one can say it well.
"I didn't even end up in the provincial examination. When my two brothers said this, it was like a big talk, but I was prepared for any trouble and had no excessive thoughts. It was not a bad thing..." Shen Rui said.
These things were not passed on to Shen Rui, either by Chen Li or Wang Shouren, but by some examination analysis that Shen Rui remembered when he was studying with several top scholars and Jinshi in recent years.
Not talking about Chen Jin, but only saying that Wu Fang is so close to him, Shen Rui never thought about hiding his own private life. It was just that since August, he had been doing things here and had no intention of thinking about the exam. Yesterday, he saw Chen Jin, Shen Rui remembered this.
Chen Jin was very moved, and felt that the thin sheets of paper on his hand weighed more than a thousand pounds. Chen Qi's eyes were shiny and he said with a little excitement: "Brother Rui, you wrote this, you Why do you think of this?"
Shen Rui said: "I didn't think about this, but yesterday I saw Brother Jin coming over and thought about this... I really can't help with the two brothers taking the exam. I can only say a few more nonsense. I'm mostly picking up people's wisdom. I'll ask for two more Brother, just don't think I'm too troublesome."
Chen Qi hurriedly said, "Who would dislike such troubles? Even if others know these experiences, they will hide them strictly and wish they could be regarded as heirlooms. Only Rui Ge'er would share them with us so generously. ”
Chen Ying is also a Jinshi, while Chen Qi participated in the 12th year of Hongzhi. It cannot be said that he has no experience. However, compared with the summary of Shen Rui, what Chen Qi knew before was the superficial one.
Chen Qi had no confidence in the spring exam next year, but after getting this thing, he felt that he could give it a try. As for whether he could be on the list, the rest depends on luck.
Although Chen Qi knew Shen Rui's temperament and knew that he was not a stingy, he was surprised now. After seeing it for a few years, he had already seen that Shen Rui was very unfamiliar with the relatives of the fourth house. He is also very polite to Chen Jin, but he is not close enough. There are causes and consequences, so Shen Rui is reasonable about being indifferent there. Unexpectedly, when Shen Jin encounters something, Shen Rui is still willing to help. He helped him to resettle Zheng's family before, and now he is preparing for the exam. So.
When he got home and mentioned this to Chen Ying, Chen Qi said, "Rui Ge'er always looked gentle, but she was always lonely. Unexpectedly, she was very enthusiastic. If anyone else was afraid, it would be difficult for him to do this. Chen Jin has the style of an ancient gentleman."
Chen Ying frowned when she heard this. If Shen Rui had a three or five times, he would have some shortcomings in his studies, he would have prepared these things. He obviously had a good teacher and was young, so he thought about these tricks. He seems uneasy. But Shen Rui is the most steady person, not an impetuous and frivolous person, but he prepares so early. He is not focused on his homework, but outside of his homework, which is only seeking fame.
"What are you secretly happy about? This is just a small path. If you do a poor article, even if you think about these injuries, it will be unintentional." Chen Ying saw that Chen Qi was even more happy and scolded.
Chen Qi still smiled, but with bitterness on his face: "For people with qualifications like Big Brother, these are just paths; but to me, it can't be said to be the path in desperate situations...
The Shen family's funeral continued until the "July 7" funeral was held.
Chen Cang died of illness on October 22nd, and by the time of the funeral, Laba had passed.
In the middle of winter, the silver is covered in silver, but outside the Shangshu Mansion is full of traffic and a lively scene.
As Jingtang who died of illness during his post, Chen Cang was considered a grand funeral. The carriages of relatives and friends who were present on that day were crowded with the streets of Renshoufang. However, everyone knows that relatives and friends are still giving up, and the official face is here. The favors of the people have begun to become a little deserted. Even if the chief officials of each yamen have sent more ceremonial mats and sacrificial tents, few of them have personally sacrificed their children and nephews or are in charge of the chief priests, which is not negligence. No, ,
The Shen family was busy with funerals and was moved by Chen Cang, so they didn't care about anything else.
Those who are more snobbish in the officialdom like He Dongsheng and have had frictions and disputes with the Shen family must be gloating. Thinking about Shen Rui's mourning years, Shen Jin is one of the popular candidates for the top scorer in the capital. He Dongsheng must sigh a few times.
If he had known that Chen Cang had such a short life, Shen Rui would not have been able to borrow any power. He should have promised Chen Yuan, but should have found someone among his nieces to Chen Jin.
Since the Nanjing provincial examination results arrived in Beijing, He Dongsheng sent a letter to his clan girl, mentioning the matter of "getting more relatives". I wonder if it was delayed on the road, or if Chen Yuan and Xiao He had other plans, but did not reply. return
