There is certainly a reason why the Chen family and his son have not forgotten to study hard on New Year’s Eve. Because the six years of Baoyou are about to pass, for the Anfeng Chen family, three good things come!

The first joy was of course that Chen Dexing had to be a high-ranking official. He was in charge of the army as a weak official, and his official rank was also promoted to a horizontal rank. He was considered a member of the senior military officer of the Song Dynasty.

The other two joys were Chen Huaiqing, and Chen Defang both obtained the qualification to participate in the examination - Chen Huaiqing passed the hall lock test specially prepared for officials, while Chen Defang passed the Lin'an Prefecture examination and obtained the qualification to be a juren.

However, taking the imperial examination does not mean that the vocals outside Donghua Gate are rolling the ball. Every time there are tens of thousands of candidates who take the exam, there are only five or six hundred high school students. These are the good men in the eyes of the Song Dynasty and most of the people in the Song Dynasty! They are the real pillars of the Song Dynasty, and the top elites of the scholar-official class who can share the world with the Song Dynasty.

In order to become one of these 5600 or 600 people and to truly make what they have learned in their lives, the Chen family and his son will naturally not squander any time they can spend studying. Even if it is New Year's Eve today, even if Chen Dexing and Guo Furong will visit from Yangzhou...

"Dad, it's December 30th. Calculate the day... The second brother and aunt should come to Lin'an." Chen Defang was a little tired of reading, put down the book, picked up the tea that had been no longer hot, and took a sip of it, and then told his father about what Chen Dexing and Guo Furong were about to arrive.

"Well," Chen Huaiqing nodded, and did not put down the book, but said lightly, "It's time to... I became the commander of ten thousand men at a young age, and I'm promoted a little faster."

His tone was not heard of joy, but he was a little worried.

Chen Defang smiled: "Dad is worried that his second brother is domineering?"

Chen Huaiqing shook his head, remained silent, and after a while, he said, "Study hard, this subject... is very promising! As long as you can go to high school, you don't have to be afraid of anything."

Of course, Chen Huaiqing said that he was a Jinshi in high school. He passed the imperial examination in the same year as Jia Sidao, but Jia Sidao passed the civil and Jinshi, and he passed the military examination. Therefore, Jia Dajie, a treacherous minister of the literary and Jinshi, who is now a literary talent, is in charge of the military and military skills, and Chen Huaiqing, a martial artist with outstanding martial arts and military skills, teaches in the Imperial College... Well, this is how the Song Dynasty hires people!

Chen Huaiqing, who has been in office for more than 20 years, now has neither lack of qualifications nor fame. Even his son trained by him has become a famous general. Who would treat him as a military officer on paper? If you only lack a literary and Jinshi, you will have a great opportunity. You should have the rank of a court official within a few years. At that time, you are afraid that there will be no chance to command troops? Fighting the incense between himself and the generals of the Lianghuai, and how can you not have the chance to make meritorious contributions? This civil servant who can make military achievements has always been the favorite of the officials of the Song Dynasty. A cool umbrella (the symbol of the priest) is also a matter of time.

Then we will tell our two sons that a good marriage will be made. If we can marry the daughter of an important official in the court, the family will be stable. If someone talks about Chen Dexing's domineering nature, at most he will be asked to hand over military power and transfer it to cultural resources.

While the father and son were talking, a noise suddenly broke out outside the house, and then the door of the study was pushed open. A woman in her forties, with beautiful eyebrows and simple clothes broke in. While rubbing her eyes, she shouted: "Here, come... The second brother and sister are here!"

This middle-aged woman is the mother of Chen Dexing and Chen Defang's brothers, Chen Huaiqing's wife Chen Xu.

The father and son looked at each other and stood up at the same time. Chen Huaiqing also put down the book and Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Let's finish today's book, let's go and welcome your brother and aunt together!"

The father and son and Chen Gu left the study together. After going downstairs, they arrived at a small yard. The yard covers a small area and cannot be compared with Chen Dexing's large house in Wohufang, Yangzhou. There are three three-story buildings arranged in the shape of a font. There are a small open space in the middle, and there are no flowers, plants and trees planted, but just a well was built.

The small courtyard is not a luxury house, it is just the most inconspicuous house in Lin'an City. But such an ordinary house is worth at least tens of thousands of yuan in copper coins! This Lin'an residence is really not easy.

However, behind this difficulty is the stability, order and prosperity that only exists under the feet of the emperor. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty is not a place where one can blatantly come! Even if the power is strong, one will always hold his tail a little when he arrives in Lin'an. After all, the master of the Song Dynasty is in the palace south of the city. Therefore, the wealthy people in the Song Dynasty want to establish a family at the feet of the emperor. Even if they lose power, they can still make their descendants a common citizen protected by the emperor.

The gate of the Chen family's courtyard opened northward, and the two wooden doors with some paint had fallen away were open. I saw Chen Dexing wearing a green robe standing side by side with Guo Fu'er, who had already taken off the light dew and showed her flower-like face.

In the long run, Chen Huaiqing suddenly realized that his second son had really grown up, and he was no longer the rough boy who was originally. Just standing there, his whole body exuded a calm temperament that was a general. As for Guo Fuer beside Chen Dexing, there was no change. He was still so young and beautiful, not like his younger brother and sister-in-law, but like his daughter-in-law...

Just when such a disrespectful thought suddenly emerged in Chen Huaiqing's mind, Chen Dexing had already bowed and bowed: "Uncle, aunt, and nephew Chen Dexing are polite."

The pretty mother Guo Fu'er is by my side. Of course, Chen Dexing has to control his own father and uncle and aunt according to the generation in Anfeng Chen family genealogy. Otherwise, he would be unfilial to Guo Fu'er.

"Uncle, sister-in-law, Aguo is polite." Guo Fu'er also smiled and blessed.

"Come in, come in quickly." Chen Xushi politely greeted him, grabbed Guo Fu'er's arm, pulled her into the door, waved at Chen Dexing, and said softly: "Second brother, come in quickly, I have helped you clean up the house. This time I must stay in Lin'an for a while and leave after the first month."

Chen Xu's accent is in the tone of Gusu, which is soft and gratifying, and it sounds very pleasant. Chen Dexing looked at his biological mother carefully. Although he was a little older, he still had a dignified face and a pretty face. I think he was a rare beauty when he was young.

Chen Dexing said: "I will leave after the first month. This time it was a straight-up shift that was promoted only after the official's special order. I also added the title of bringing imperial equipment. As usual, I need to thank you."

Chen Huaiqing stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Second brother, you rarely come back to Lin'an. You always have to have a relationship. In February, there will be a spring exam. Now there are many famous people in Lin'an City."

Hearing the spring exam competition, Chen Dexing also showed an expectant expression: "Uncle, brother, are you sure about this spring exam?"

The Spring Examination is the Ministry of Rites. The imperial examination in the Song Dynasty was held in the autumn in the local prefectures. The Ministry of Rites was held in February of the following year and the Palace Examination was held. However, as long as the candidate who passed the Ministry of Rites was the Jinshi, the Palace Examination was the Jinshi. The Palace Examination was only determined, and the final elimination was not implemented. Therefore, as long as the imperial examination was a Jinshi, the Chen family's family could reach a big step immediately! Chen Dexing could also gain more support in the court. However, this Jinshi was really not easy to pass.

Chen Huaiqing smiled and said, "Who dares to say that he is sure of winning five out of a hundred? It's just to do his best to stay in the weather. Second brother, we have already prepared wine and food in the house. We eat and chat, and talk to me about the war on the front line."
