Chapter 97 Tao Yuchen (Part 1)
After all, they were brothers of the same clan, so it was hard to kill them when they were silent, so they smiled at several supervisors and said, "Everyone, go and do your business, I'll take these guys back in advance."
The supervisor smiled flatteringly: "There is another person lying in the nest. Is it here to you?"
Silent nodded and smiled, "Please trouble you."
After a while, the two men came over with a limping young master Chen San. Chen Si saw that he seemed to be trampled by thousands of troops, with a look of silence and half-dead, and couldn't help but think: "What kind of inhuman treatment did he receive to become like this?"
Seeing that there was a look of inquiry in Mr. Chen's eyes, the foreman quickly explained: "This kid is too cowardly. He just finished his work and shouted 'can't stand it', and forced him to stop until the evening, and he couldn't stand up even if he heard it." No matter how he heard it, he was a little impressed.
Looking at Chen Zhuang's sad and distraught expression and his obvious posture of walking outside, he knew that the foreman must have not told the truth, but he was not interested in delving into it, so he asked the three guys with blue noses and swollen faces to send Chen Zhuang home, and even the interest of teaching him a lesson was denied.
After leaving the pier, he went to Baoyouqiao Street first and greeted Mr. Yao and his wife. The old couple naturally had no idea what to agree. The eldest son's father laughed and said, "I'm afraid that you and your father will not be used to living there, so the room here is cleaned for you every day." He also asked the eldest son to catch up with the car and go back to move the things in with Chen Mo.
Fortunately, the scholar moved all the books, and then a few pieces of clothes, two sets of bedding, and a large cart was pulled back. After he settled down, he had not delayed his lunch.
The lunch was obviously much richer. Dad Yao specially stewed black chicken and shrimps to nourish his brain. After silence and thanking him, he told him not to waste it like this. Dad Yao laughed and said, "I used to have no money to buy it, but now I can afford it. Naturally, I have to let the young master eat it before the exam."
Before he finished his meal, Chen Jingna's unique comic tone sounded from the patio: "The eldest son, is Chaosheng here?" Chen Xiang said his feelings yesterday in vain.
Dad Yao quickly let Chen Jing in and asked him if he had eaten. Chen Jing was not seen outside, and laughed and said, "I found two places before I found Chaosheng, but I delayed my meal." Aunt Yao quickly added a pair of bowls and chopsticks to him, and Chen Jing started eating without hesitation.
After eating and drinking, he burped and said to the silent, "They have already started to jointly settle insurance. I am afraid that you will be dragged down if you know it is too late, so I made an appointment with three of them and went to the county government to settle insurance together."
The so-called "joint guarantee settlement" means that five candidates from the same county who take the exam at the same time guarantee each other, so it is also called "five children's bond". If one of the people's identity is fake, the other four people will be implicated, which can form an effective mutual supervision... The risks are self-evident.
In fact, there is another option, which is to ask a student as a guarantee to avoid the risk of mutual protection of five people. However, in this way, the risks will be transferred to the student. Once a child student has a fake identity, the student who guarantees him will be disqualified from the scholarship and may even face imprisonment.
So every time this time, the door of the lieutenant student's family is very difficult to knock. In addition to knowing the truth and being unable to escape, the people who even give money are unwilling to take this insurance. Therefore, there are still more than five children in the Shen family... Fortunately, there are many children in the Shen family, and there are more than a dozen people participating in the county examination this time. Everyone is a cousin who has not given the five-serve cousin, so mutual insurance is the most suitable one.
Before the signing was over, two people arrived in front of the county yamen in silence, and saw many white-clothed children walking around the wall with black tiles and white background and heading into the yamen.
Chen Jing had sharp eyes and saw three students of the same clan standing outside the Shenming Pavilion from afar. Almost at the same time, he also saw him there. After the two sides met, they followed the other students into the county government.
Today is the day for the county examination. There are a lot more tolerances in the yamen, one post at three steps and one whistle at five steps. We strictly prevent students who do not understand the rules from running around.
Especially outside the ritual room in the second courtyard, there were more than a dozen officials who were maintaining order and not allowed to speak so that the questions in the ritual room could not be disturbed.
Five silent people lined up behind the big one, watching the team that had not moved for a long time, I don’t know when it would be my turn.
Just when he was a little impatient, the team behind him suddenly became commotion, and he heard a middle-aged man's voice saying, "Get out of the way ahead!" The crowd obediently separated from each other and gave up a five-foot-wide road.
The silent figure was quite high, more than half a head than ordinary people. Looking in the sound, his vision was not blocked at all. He saw an official wearing a green robe and an old face, and a handsome young man in a white shirt, swaying in from outside the door.
The originally very quiet crowd couldn't help but whisper... The white shirt is Tong Sheng's clothing color, and the young man obviously came to sign up, so how could he be special?
I am silent in public and never express my opinions, but I have this question in my heart.
However, many people took it for granted and said to the resentful student with a sneer: "Do you know who he is? He is Tao Dalin's name is Yuchen!"
The students immediately became peaceful and said sideways: "It turns out that he is Tao Yuchen, who is as famous as the great straps in Shanyin!"
"Why are you still a child born after so many years?"
"You don't understand this. I went to Yuelu Academy to study at the age of fifteen. I studied under Luo Hongxian, the top scholar thirty years ago. I have been studying for five years. Now that I have finished my studies, Isn't it easy to get a 'little three yuan'?"
Understanding the reason for the incident, Chen Jing whispered: "Brother, someone wants to steal your limelight!"
Chen Jing nodded and said softly, "You have to pass the exam before you know." The sharpness in his words made Chen Jing stunned for a moment. He knew that Chen Jing had never wanted to show off, and he said that just now was just to amuse him.
But I don’t know that being a person should be low-key, and being an official should be even more low-key. Only the imperial examination is absolutely not low-key. The better the exam, the greater the reputation, and the brighter the future... You should know that in the Ming Dynasty, only the thirty-two people who performed the best exam each time could be able to enter the cabinet and become prime minister.
If you get the 33rd place in the exam, I'm sorry, even if you treat the official position as a fan, you are not qualified to join the cabinet and become the Grand Secretary.
Therefore, we must develop the domineering spirit of striving for the first place from the beginning, so that we can stand out from the layers of selection and become one of the thirty-two people.
