Compared with going north to rescue people at the beginning of last year, there is no need to rush when going south this time, and the time is much easier.
The filial son Qin Dewei rushed to Liaocheng, Shandong Province in one fell swoop to stay with his biological mother Zhou and his stepfather for a while.
At this time, Mrs. Zhou has been pregnant for several months, and by around August, Qin Dewei will probably have a half-brother or sister.
To be honest, Qin Dewei still enjoys the feeling of being in Liaocheng.
Because in other places, he is a junior, but in Liaocheng he is a yanei who can walk sideways!
Moreover, Liaocheng is also a prosperous commercial port and large wharf where water and land meet, with everything from eating, drinking and entertainment to nightlife.
For example, that girl Pan Xiaoyu is very good at playing the pipa.
I have to go home and sleep every night, and it is too troublesome to see my parents in the morning and evening.
So ten days later, Qin Dewei continued southward on the grounds of his studies, and Huai'an Mansion was his second place to stay.
Wang Yiqi's uncle Wang is here. He is the right minister of the Ministry of War and the right minister of the imperial censor Hecao. The government office is located in Huai'an Prefecture.
Qin Dewei met Uncle Wang and then went to find Wu Chengen.
I happened to meet Li Chunfang and Cave Master Li who were traveling around to learn and learn, so they chatted and had fun together for several days.
Wu Cheng'en and Li Chunfang are actually very interested in fantasy fairy tales. Qin Dewei casually talked about the ancient setting, and also said that Sun Wukong and his master Bodhi Patriarch were Zhunti Taoists, etc., which frightened the two of them. I was stunned for a moment and still had no idea.
Then Qin Dewei set off south again, passing through Guazhou Ferry in Yangzhou and entering the Yangtze River waterway.
However, Qin Dewei did not return directly to Nanjing. Instead, he abandoned the boat and went ashore at Jingkou, and went to Jurong, less than a hundred miles east of Nanjing.
Speaking of this sentence, Qin Dewei had the impression that in later generations it was under the control of Zhenjiang, but now it belongs to Yingtian Mansion.
This place, sandwiched between Nanjing City and Zhenjiang, was the residence of the Southern Zhili Tixue Censor and the Yingtian Governor.
Qin Dewei was able to restrain his desire for a warm bed with his old lover, and instead of returning to Nanjing, he went to Jurong first, for no other reason than to visit He Ao, the academic officer of Nanzhili.
It can even be said that it is impossible not to go.
First of all, it involves the issue of quota for participating in the provincial examination. You must know that not every scholar is called Juzi.
Jiangning County, a large county in the capital, only has dozens of places to participate in the rural examination. Compared with other counties, this is still a lot.
How the quota is determined? Normally, it is through the county school's internal exams that take place every year.
More specifically, first, if you can pass the internal examination to become a restaurant student, you will be able to participate in the provincial examination by default.
Second, it is the last internal examination before the provincial examination. If you enter the first or second class, you can also take the provincial examination.
The year before last, Qin Dewei spent money to buy the gimmick of ranking first in the monthly exams, and gained a reputation for expelling evil eunuchs.
This means that he has excellent academic performance, excellent social practice activities, and is good at poetry, so he was successfully recruited to become a Linshan student last spring.
But even though Qin Dewei gained a reputation as a righteous soldier of the Four Irons in the capital last year, as well as a reputation as an eight-fighter, he was absent from school for a year after all.
He felt a little guilty and didn't know if there would be any changes. He had to find a grand master to confirm the implementation before he could rest assured.
Secondly, in addition to the issue of quota for the provincial examination, Qin Dewei was also burdened with punishments and had to find Grandmaster He to resolve the issue.
When he was in the capital, whether he beat Li Kaixian or helped Mr. Feng withstand the thunder, the final sentence had words such as "issued to Nanzhili to be reprimanded by the academic officer."
Even if it is a formality, we must find Grandmaster He to implement this.
After all, it is a judgment approved by the imperial court. If you don't even follow the formalities, it will be a problem if you are caught by someone who is interested.
When I came to Jurong County with my entourage, I naturally settled in a hotel first. As the governor and academic officer's residence, the hotel industry in Jurong is not bad.
Qin Dewei is not without money, so he must find a place with good conditions to live.
But what surprised Qin Dewei was that he asked three companies in a row and they all said they were satisfied.
Business is so good? Qin Dewei stood at the crossroads of the county and was puzzled. Only then did he notice that among the pedestrians on the road, there seemed to be a high proportion of scholars.
Whenever you see such a situation in a county, there must be an exam about to take place. For example, the Taoist exam that Qin Dewei took was in Jurong.
So Qin Dewei was even more confused. According to the system, in the year of the provincial examination, all the work was to ensure the provincial examination, and there was no Taoist examination to admit talents. So where did so many scholars gather in Jurong?
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in surprise: "Brother Qin! Why are you here?"
When Qin Dewei heard the sound, he turned around and saw that it was Gao Changjiang, a classmate from the county school, the young boss of Taibailou in Nanjing who liked to act as the leader but was often beaten.
Unexpectedly, when I returned to Jiangnan, the first old friend I met was this person.
Qin Dewei laughed and went up to him and asked, "I just crossed the river and got here. I should be asking you, what are you doing here?"
Gao Changjiang replied: "I came here specially to take part in the test of recording the legacy!"
So that’s it! Qin Dewei suddenly realized, no wonder there are so many scholars gathering together. He naturally knows what recording the legacy is, as the name suggests, it is the collection of legacy talents.
Before each provincial examination, the Grand Master will hold a special examination, and scholars who have not obtained a quota for the provincial examination can take part.
The Grand Master selects outstanding talents who have been missed and specially approves them to participate in the provincial examination.
Generally, the location of the examination is in the provincial capital. South Zhili is special. There are two examinations, one in Jurong, which corresponds to the southeast, and one in Taiping, which corresponds to the northwest. Students can participate in the examination nearby.
After Gao Changjiang finished talking about himself, he asked strangely: "You don't even know about the obituary, so why are you here?"
Qin Dewei simply said: "I came here especially to visit the great master."
Gao Changjiang understood immediately and smiled: "I promoted you to senior citizen last spring, and then you disappeared.
Logically speaking, an opportunistic person like you should have been demoted long ago, but the instructors and academic officers didn’t touch you!"
Qin Dewei waved his hand: "I won't talk nonsense with you. Please help me find a place to live. I'll go to the examination hall to visit the great master first!"
Gao Changjiang hurriedly added: "I have a distant relative with the same surname in Jurong. He was a Jinshi in Chenghua for 20 years, and I have a single name.
Today his Gaoyuan held a spring outing gathering, and the Grand Master also went there, so if you want to see the Grand Master, you have to go to Gaoyuan!"
"I know, I'll go take a look right now!" Qin Dewei added: "You can help me find a place to live first, and then we'll meet in Gaoyuan."
At this time, several more scholars passed by and talked as they walked: "I heard that Gaoyuan is very lively today, and the most popular girl Liu Yue in Nanjing is also here!"
This sentence happened to be heard by Qin Dewei, who said to Gao Changjiang in astonishment: "The name they mentioned is Liu Yue? Willow of Yangliu, Yue of Mingyue? Did I hear it correctly?"
Gao Changjiang nodded, "Yes, that's the name Liu Yue. If you weren't in Nanjing this year, you wouldn't know that Liu Yue came out of nowhere and was so red."
Qin Dewei couldn't believe it. He was the one who sent Liu Yue to Wang Lianqing's house, Madam Chen, to learn martial arts two years ago, and he still had the deed in his hands.
After only two years of training, Liu Yue is still a third-rate green tea expert. Why is he famous? Is there any hidden secret?
Could it be that they have the same name? Qin Dewei confirmed again: "Is it Liu Yue who has the same mother as Wang Lianqing?"
Gao Changjiang sighed again: "Yes, Liu Yue is also the one pushed out by the bustard Chen.
But your old lover Wang Lianqing and the four beauties of Qinhuai are not as popular among scholars as Miss Liu Yue."
Qin Dewei: ""
I've only been away for a year, so why can't I understand the entertainment industry in Nanjing?
