A few days later, the "100-day Festival" of Chen Cang was about to reach the spring examination.
Although the third master of the Shen family was fond of his career and did not participate in this spring exam, Xu's two nephews Zhu Yunming and Wei's school were about to end. Several people were about to end up with the Shen family relatives. The clan uncle who had a clan house and Chen Jin from the fourth house Chen Qi and others from the fifth house. Therefore, Chen Zun also paid great attention to the matter of the Spring Examination.
Shen Rui felt quite subtle when he thought of Chen Jin's identity as Jie Yuan. It was not that he was jealous of Chen Jin, but that he was under great pressure. After all, he was a human being for two lifetimes, and Chen Jin was a real young talent. I don't know that Chen Jin will meet this spring exam. When he got a ranking, Chen Jin was looking forward to his support and supporting the four bedrooms. He also felt that if Chen Jin had too good grades, he would probably be under greater pressure in the future.
Not to mention others, even Chen Li, the elders like Chen San and others can't stand it too much for Chen Jin.
This day is the day when the exam is released. The third master is resting at home, and the uncle and nephew talk about the exam today.
"Xizhe's literary talent and elegance may not be the eyes of the examiner; but Zicai, who was in a straight and rigorous manner, hoped that the current subject would be even greater." said the third master.
Xizhe is the name Zhu Yunming, and Zi is the name Wei Jiao. Because of the Xu family, they often come to Shangshu Mansion and are familiar with the third master. They are more aware of the clansmen who come to Songjiang to take the exam. Zhu Yunming, since the sixth year of Hongzhi, this year has been in Beijing for the fifth time. He has lived in Shenzhai before. He is about the same age as the third master, has similar interests and has a deep relationship. Therefore, among these candidates for the exam this year, the third master The ones who are most concerned about are not the relatives, but the friend Zhu Yunming.
Shen Rui said: "I wish my cousin came from a scholarly family, and his ancestors were promoted to an official through the imperial examination. The teacher he was appointed as a Tanhualang. Why is he still so ignorant of making changes in his writing?"
Even if you were confident before, now you have lost the fourth time, you should learn from your lessons |
The third master shook his head and said, "Where is that easy? He was writing in the late essay at the age of nine, and after thirty years, he has been like this. He has written such words and sentences in his heart. Even if he wants to change it, he has become a four-dimensional character. The so-called secrets of exams They are all small paths, and their foundation is still based on the article.”
"I wonder how Brother Qi's second brother this year?" Shen Rui said.
The third master thought for a while and said, "Brother Qi's articles have always been mediocre and are not outstanding, but there is no big mistake. They can be either up or down."
Not only the uncle and nephew talked about the exam today, but also the candidates and family members who were waiting for news in the capital were looking forward to it and waiting for the list.
As the sound of firecrackers gradually rang on the streets, the team that announced the good news rushed to the various buildings in the middle of the Beijing area.
In the teahouse in front of the Yajie Street of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Qi's face was unconscious.
Chen Quan explained, "What's the second brother anxious about? My second brother is not yet thirty years old, and he has only taken the exam twice. I'll take the exam next time."
Chen Qi put down the teacup and said, "I know, but I just feel uncomfortable."
Chen Quan said: "Second Brother"
There are three or four thousand candidates in each subject, only three hundred candidates are selected. Failure is common, and being on the list is a surprise. With Chen Qi's age, there is no need to be discouraged because of his failure.
Chen Qi said: "Third brother, I am already in my thirties. Do I really have to go through the exam for three years and three years?"
Chen Quan said: "Didn't my second brother think that my articles have improved, maybe everything I want will come true in my next subject.
Chen Qi pointed downstairs and said to himself: "I thought so too, but now I can't tell you when I will be my head? Is it like that old man, who got her hair and beard white?"
Under the teahouse, an old scholar was crying bitterly, looking so miserable and pitiful.
Chen Quan, who was not qualified to take the Ministry of Rites exam, felt aroused when he saw this trip. He himself suffered from the pain of failing the exam, and that was during the examination.
Chen Qi is not a person who blames others. He just says something bad in front of his parents, wife and children, and then nags a few words in front of his younger brother.
He sighed and said, "Brother Jin was the second place in the exam, which is a sigh. He is just one step away from Huiyuan."
Although the second in the imperial examination will also attract attention, it will not be the top of the list. If it were Huiyuan, as long as you don’t make any mistakes during the palace examination, you should be on the first class. In addition, Chen Jin is Jieyuan in the provincial examination, if he wins the provincial examination, he will be on the first class. Huiyuan, the palace pilot Yuan is the "Three Yuans and the Years", which has created a good story.
Chen Quan said: "Brother Jin finally made it through."
March palace examination is a ranking exam. Nowadays, the tribute students are on the third-level list, and the most time they are also Jinshi. With Chen Jin's talent and provincial examination, the results of the imperial examination will never fall into the third-level exam, and the most time they are Second-class Jinshi.
Chen Qi nodded and said, "Yes, it has not been easy for him in the past few years. Now he is alone in Beijing, and Rui Ge'er is in Xiaozhong again. If you can help, go and help."
Chen Quan agreed, and the two brothers went down the teahouse.
The house in the south city was sunk, and the door was red. The police officer who reported the good news had already received the reward, but the neighbors still surrounded him to watch the fun.
"This is the Yayuan family, and it's impossible to say that the palace examination is the top scholar."
"I have long felt that Mr. Xiao Shen is extraordinary, but it turns out to be on the gold list."
"From now on, it will be the home of the Jinshi Master."
"If Mr. Xiao Shen wins the top scorer, our place will be the top scorer's alley in the future."
In Chen's house, Zheng cried with joy. Seeing his son being so excited that he couldn't speak, Chen Jin stood in front of Zheng, and his heart that had been raised for half a year finally fell back into his stomach, with a smile on his lips.
On the Shen House in Renshoufang, uncle and nephew are also looking at the copied list. Gu Dingchen, Kunshan County, Zhili, Huiyuan, second place, Chen Jin, Huating County, Nanzhili, fourth place, Cui Xian, Anyang County, Henan, third place, third place It is named Xie Pi, Yuyao County, Zhejiang Province, and Dong Qi, the fifth place in Daxing County, Zhili Province.
Further down, the 15th Wei School in Wujiang County, Suzhou, the 44th Huating County He Pingsheng, and the 152th Tianshen in Daxing County, Zhili. These three are familiar names. The former does not need It is said that the latter is the clan brother of the third wife, He Pingsheng and uncle and nephew in the middle have never seen him, but they know his name.
"Is this He Pingsheng actually over?" The third master was quite surprised.
Shen Rui said: "It seems that he is very angry, but it is not a long-term solution."
Chen Jin said clearly before that He Pingsheng's illness was not bad, and he was dragging his illness to the point. Even if he was on the list, his body would still have any future problems.
But what happened to He Pingsheng is not related to their uncle and nephew's business. The headache is also a headache for Mr. He. The uncle and nephew said it and let it go.
The rest of the Shen family and Zhu Yunming are not on the list.
The uncle and nephew were not surprised, but they were also hesitating about how to say to Xu.
Xu and Zhu’s mother are sisters of compatriots and have the deepest relationship. When Zhu Yunming’s nephew is like a parent-child, he knows that today’s list is posted and is waiting for news.
Before the two brothers could go to the backyard, Zhu Yunming sent the manager to report the good news, saying that the Wei School of the Experiment was eliminated.
The third master and Shen Rui took the manager to meet Xu.
When Xu heard that the Wei school was in the exam and ranked fifteen, he was very happy, but he also knew in his heart that his other nephew had failed.
Xu sighed in his heart, but his face was not revealed, and said, "In a few days it will be the grandfather's day. I will go to the west to fast. Go back and ask your uncle. If he has time, come and accompany me to the west to worship Buddha."
The "Grandmaster" mentioned here is naturally not the third master of the Shen family, but the late Xu family.
Then the manager agreed and took the reward and sealed it.
Xu sighed: "Xizhe's luck is really bad."
The third master said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. Although Xizhe is more difficult in the imperial examination, there are also many people who are late to achieve success in this world. Besides, Xizhe has both great calligraphy and painting and has long been famous in Nanshilin, so it is not necessary to I hope to advance to the imperial examination."
Xu shook his head and said, "If it were someone else, he might have died after a few setbacks. I looked at Xizhe and his determination to be stronger."
The third master said, "That's all depends on luck."
Shen Rui was there and did not interrupt. The third master and Xu were all focused on Zhu Yunming, and Chen Jin did not mention Chen Jin. Chen Jin's performance this time was really good. Although it was not the final ranking, he had the opportunity to take a chance. The Sandingjia. There is also Xie Pi in the top five. He is not someone else, but Chen Li’s brother-in-law and the second son of Xie Ge Lao. According to Chen Jin’s age and his foreign national examination, he scored in the Sandingjia. Later, I would have been called for the Tanhualang because of my age, but there was a variable with Xie Pi, who was also in his twentieth year.
Chen Zuo copied the list, and other people in Beijing who were concerned about the examination also copied the list.
Seeing that Yayuan is Chen Jin of Huating County, Master Qiao San was envious and hated. Songjiang Shen family had successors, and the Shen family had more confidence than they knew. While envious, Master Qiao San couldn't help but be angry that his good son-in-law was for How dare he avoid the Qiao family and ignore his future?
The father lost his family for twenty-seven months, and the mother lost his family for three years. It is now the end of February. In another seven months, Master Qiao San will be filial. Whether he is in a shortage in the capital or wants to release him, he must start preparing. But although Master Qiao San also has three or five old acquaintances, he is a gentleman and cannot borrow his power. When he thinks of revival, he has no confidence.
Thinking of Chen Cang's "100-day sacrifice", Master Qiao San couldn't help but frown. Although he was disheartened by the coldness of the Shen family, Master Qiao San also understood that his greatest dependence was the Shen family.
When he returned to the inner house, Master Qiao San said to his wife: "Go and see the elder sister in two days."
Mrs. Qiao San was stunned: "Isn't my aunt raising me now?"
The Qiao family is not only paralyzed, but also crazy. If this matter is leaked, the biggest impact will not be the Shen family, but the Qiao family. At that time, it is inevitable that the outside world will question whether the Shen family girl will have crazy diseases. Therefore, these two Nian Qiao's family was always "restless". Even if they went to the Qiao family, they had only seen it once or twice, fearing that something would be inseparable.
Master Qiao San frowned and said, "Even if the eldest sister is sick, she is still the daughter of the Qiao family. Don't you care about it? Just go and see if anyone neglects the eldest sister."
Mrs. Qiao San agreed honestly, but she felt very angry. If you want to say who is most worried about the real cause of Qiao's disease, it is Mrs. Qiao San. It's just because she has a daughter, she has already said that she is waiting for September. Later, if she had ruined her marriage because of Qiao's crazy illness, she would have no place to cry
