Chapter 162(1/2)
All living beings have different expressions.
This group of people basically belongs to students from local county schools. In addition to ivory folding fans, they are appendix students from Pizhou Prefecture School.
It is said that at this time, there were Confucian scholars in the prefectures, prefectures, and counties. There were 40 students in the prefectures, 30 students in the prefectures, and 20 students in the county, and there was no fixed number of students attached to them.
Among the three levels, the most expensive student is the one who has the best grades and has a monthly dietary allowance from the government.
A few students are a little more than a scholar or a backward scholar, but the number of students in front of the school can be filled and replaced during the annual exam. This is also a supervision system at this time. Scholars have to take the annual exam every year and rewards and punishments are given according to their performance.
In order to avoid everyone becoming a scholar, they will not be enterprising and waste their studies.
However, at this time, study tours are popular, and scholars can take the annual exam in another place. Only a small number of people, such as tribute students, may not take the annual exam.
The students at the same time basically have their own expenses. Many state and county schools have students traveling abroad. Many people read books for a while wherever they travel. Confucianism is welcome in various places.
This ivory folding fan was Huang Chengxi, son of Huang Sien, the son of Pisuhewu, Huai'an Prefecture, who ran from Huai'an Prefecture to where his father was stationed in the letter last year and studied as an appendix in the prefecture.
It’s not that Huang Chengxi didn’t want to get a quota for students, but his father refused. The matter of scholars was the most effective. Students received official allowances and were staring at countless pairs of eyes. Even if Huang Sien was a magistrate of the Hewu Affairs Department, he would not dare to act rashly.
But as an etiology student who is self-funded, he will not give people a verbal explanation and make people say it.
Huang Chengxi was fond of friendship and was vain. He also knew some people in the local county school, such as Wang Jiaqing, and Zheng Wenxuan, an associate student.
Nei Wang Jiaqing was the son of the head of the gentry of Lingchengji, and Zheng Wenxuan was the son of Zheng Shixin, the chief clerk.
Zheng Shixin came to Suining as the chief clerk and cared about his son's studies. He invited Zheng Wenxuan to come to Suining and personally supervised him to study as an appendix in the local county.
Half a month ago, Huang Chengxi was bored in the state school and traveled to the county school again. Today, he was the new Suining General General reception banquet, and local students attended. Huang Chengxi was a very lively person, so he naturally followed.
Just seeing the style in front of the square, I couldn't help but sneer and shake the folding fan with disdain.
Wang Jiaqing and Zheng Wenxuan walked beside Huang Chengxi, both of whom were scarves and blue shirts, wearing cloaks, and holding folding fans with ebony bones.
At this time, Wang Jiaqing smiled and said, "Oh, who made Suining a small place? It is not easy to meet an official. It is inevitable that all parties will flatter and make villains arrogance. Alas, Brother Huang, everyone in the world is different. Not everyone is as noble as Ling Zun. As a fifth-rank official, he quietly stationed his letters and made it important to not disturb the people."
Wang Jiaqing has a medium figure and a beautiful appearance. He holds a black sandalwood fracture fan and has a very good appearance as a student.
But at this moment, there was a hint of anger and jealousy in his speech.
But yesterday, I heard from his father that he went to the General Administration of Practice to visit the new General Administration of Practice. However, when the gifts were collected, people could not see them, they returned disappointed.
His father, the head of the Dynasty, was quite disappointed and regretted it at that time.
The county magistrate of Suining had asked him for the position of General Secretary Li, but the dynasty had considered it for all kinds of considerations. At that time, he wanted to keep himself alone and was particularly afraid of bandits, so he refused.
Thinking about it now, he regrets his identity as an official. No matter whether the bandits come or not, he is the one who is wearing this official uniform and now the glorious scenery of Suining City is now.
Wang Jiaqing originally didn't care about the new general Yang He, but after hearing his father's words, he couldn't help but hate him.
Of course, when he faced Huang Chengxi, he had a very flattering and pleasing voice, naturally because Huang Chengxi was a fifth-rank official and a son of Pi Suhewu.
However, Zheng Wenxuan was silent.
Like his father, Zheng Wenxuan is as thin as he is usually taciturn, but he is scheming. At this moment, he thought: "You are in the city of the state, and I will stay in Suining. If this is what Xinlian President said, if it is heard, where should I and my father be placed?"
I had the intention of alienating Huang Chengxi and Wang Jiaqing.
The sentient beings behind them are either submissive or silent, and often have the same thoughts as Zheng Wenxuan.
There were more than a dozen people in this group of blue shirts, but Suining is a small place and the literary style is not strong. There are only a dozen students in the county. Of course, they knew that Huang Chengxi was the son of a fifth-rank official. When Huang Chengxi came to the county school, he muttered that the whole school knew about it.
It’s better to be in charge of the county magistrate, but everyone is unwilling to offend the new general of Lian Yang He for nothing.
Moreover, the more urgent the bandits are, Suining City will have to be protected by Xinjianzheng.
Huang Chengxi saw that there were only a few responders, and his friend Zheng Wenxuan was not talking about anything, so he was displeased.
He shook the folding fan and said, "You... Ying Luan said it right. Suining is indeed a small place with a few officials and a few students, so everyone is afraid of officials. Even the ninth-rank official can be arrogant. If you go to the city, or even Su Yang and others, you will see the style of my blue robe king."
Wang Jiaqing also longed for it: "I have traveled to Suzhou, and it is indeed our sacred land!"
The students of Yuzhe showed an interesting expression. A scholar like them, who can guarantee basic life, but there is no wealth or honor.
Although the Wanli period "New Regulations on Excellence and Exemption" stipulates that those who have not served in the office can be exempted from 1,200 mu of land, 80 mu of students, and will be exempted from labor. Children who have graduated from elementary school must also have a guarantee for students, and some will be treated as gifts.
For some copywriting affairs, local neighbors will also ask them to come forward to deal with the public and get some benefits, but this is basically the case.
Therefore, scholars are relatively obedient in places like Suining and dare not confront officials at any time.
But they also heard that in some large places, scholars can often walk sideways. Not to mention that Tong Sheng’s guaranteed gifts for the examination start at least twenty taels of silver, they can even go against the county magistrate, put on a broken boot array, eat at the yamen, take the exam, and make mushrooms, so that they can’t do business.
In the end, the unlucky ones are often the officials, and the serious ones are even removed from the seventh-rank official hat.
If Su Yang and other places are even more amazing, local students can be called arrogant: "After calling, there will be dozens of groups. We will strengthen the prefectures and counties to make decisions that cannot be followed outside the law. If we miss the intention, we will rush our arms and sleeves and startle them, and we will be able to promote officials. Therefore, the title of "Blue Robe King" will become more and more unpredictable."
Many local scholars file lawsuits for others, and the defendants are often inexplicably because lawsuits often fall out of nothing, but scholars collude with others to extort money.
The so-called Blue-robed King Daxing, Su Yang and other people in the market fight each other, and often say something: "I hire a scholar to beat you."
For Huang Chengxi, who was "informed and knowledgeable", the local scholar was so silent and afraid of officials, which made him extremely disapproving.
However, his words were not without results. A scholar who shaved the bamboo to make bones sighed: "I heard about the style of the blue robe kings in Su Yang and other places, and it was a pity to see them at first."
Huang Chengxi put away the folding fan and knocked it in his hand with a "splash" and smiled: "It's not too late now, tsk, as Huang knows, this Mr. Yang Lian is a romantic figure. Do you know, he..."
At this time, Zheng Wenxuan suddenly said: "It turns out to be Senior Zhou, and I have seen Wenxuan in the evening."
Everyone looked at it and saw a gentle middle-aged scholar walking over in mud, wearing a cloak with a sable fur, and a long-lasting follower and holding an oil umbrella. However, it was Zhou Mingyuan, a tribute student from the county.
They dare not be negligent, and they all bowed and called themselves seniors.
Even Huang Chengxi bowed. He was a celebrity in the county and he dared not offend him.
Zhou Mingyuan smiled and said, "Okay."
He looked at everyone with gentle eyes. These were all the seeds of study in the county.
He was about to say a few words of gentle words, but suddenly his eyes lit up and he called out, "Be careful."
Everyone looked at it, with mixed sounds of hooves, thick armor, and horse hooves trampling on mud, but Yang He, the new general manager of the county, arrived.
...
"Haha, Brother Qingyuan."
When Yang He saw Zhou Mingyuan, his eyes lit up. On that day, Zhou Mingyuan visited him, and the two had a great time talking, and they called each other brothers in a blink of an eye.
"Every time I see you, it's such a big scene."
Zhou Mingyuan joked and looked at Chen Qiuao and other iron-armored guards. He had joy in his eyes. With such sharp warriors, the safety of the county would be guaranteed.
Zhou Mingyuan greeted Inspection Commissioner Deng again and said, "Come on, old friend, let me introduce Jie Jun from this county to you."
Yang He smiled and said, "Okay."
Huang Chengxi, Wang Jiaqing, Zheng Wenxuan and others watched Zhou Mingyuan greet Yang He from a distance. Seeing the iron armored guards beside him, the people were all shocked.
Huang Chengxi curled his lips, while Wang Jiaqing's eyes were cold. He looked at Yang He's sabre and patrolled the horse-slaying sabre hidden beside his waist, and said angrily: "This scene is a sabre or a sabre, which is really an insult to the courtesy."
Speaking of this, Yang He and others had already strode over, and several iron armored soldiers followed behind, pressing their swords. For a moment, the people all became restrained.
They can discuss the new General Lian behind their backs, but when the real person comes over, they feel that the oppression force, the unintentional murderous intent and pressure, are heavily pressed on everyone's hearts.
The people of all living beings claim to be handsome, but the atmosphere of greenhouse flowers is similar to their temperament. Everyone is hasty and uneasy, and they come up to greet each other obediently. After Zhou Mingyuan introduced him, they took turns to bow and declare their name.
Wang Jiaqing wanted to say something, but in the end he gave a silent salute.
Then I felt uncomfortable, hated and annoyed.
Yang He looked at the sentient beings and smiled and said, "Okay, they are all pillars."
All the students in front of him are older than him. After all, if Yang He is like this, it is rare to become a scholar at the age of seventeen. All the students in front of him are in their twenties and the elderly are in their thirties or forties, but they are all as well-behaved as elementary school students.
If Yang He praises him, he will be happy and proud.
Wang Jiaqing felt more and more uncomfortable when he looked at it.
He secretly glanced at the General Lian in front of him. He was a few years younger than him. He had a purple soft matte on his head, a black sable fur cloak, and pressed the saber to kill the horse. He stood calmly and let the sentient beings pay their respects.
That kind of demeanor made him envious and jealous.
He heard Zheng Wenxuan come forward to pay a visit: "Student Zheng Wenxuan has met the adults. Jia Yan often mentions the adults in front of the young man."
Yang Hedao: "It turns out that he is the young and calm man of Master Zheng's family.
Wang Jiaqing was even more displeased. Suddenly he heard a cold snorting beside him. He raised his eyes and felt happy.
Yang He also looked at it and saw a young scholar standing aside, probably only one or two years older than him, holding a folding fan with ivory as his bones, standing out like a crane.
This man has a long and beautiful body, with an exquisite jade pendant hanging around his waist, making him look very unusual in his identity.
At this time, he glanced at each other with dissatisfaction, and had a bit of cynical expression on his face.
Zhou Mingyuan smiled and said, "Save your word, I will introduce you to Huang Chengxi, the son of Huang Sien, the Tongji of Pisuhe, Huai'an Prefecture, Huang's family. Huang's friend is extraordinary. He has achieved fame at the age of 18 and is now studying in Pizhou Prefecture."
Yang He smiled and said, "It turns out that he is a friend of Huang, but he is a tiger father without a dog son."
Of course he knew Huang Sien. He was the chief official of Pisu River Affairs and was a fifth-rank official with a rank higher than that of Pizhou Prefecture. He also had a river section of one prefecture and two counties here, as well as Zhouhu, Beihu, Huangqihu, Luomahu and other major lakes.
He has considerable power in his hands. As his son, Huang Chengxi became a scholar at the age of 18 and can be considered good at studying.
Huang Chengxi bowed his hand in a cool manner, opened the ivory fracture fan in his hand with a silence, shook it a few times, and said calmly: "I dare not, it's just me."
Wang Jiaqing smiled and Zhou Mingyuan frowned slightly. Even inspector Deng could not see such a confrontation between scholars. Chen Qiuao and others standing behind him felt that Huang Chengxi's posture was quite chic and beautiful.
