After returning from the sociology, Wei Liangchen fell into anxiety. Master Wu refused to accept him into school and was unwilling to guarantee him. Now he could only find another scholar to protect him, and it would be fast, otherwise he would not be able to catch up with the mansion test three months later.

The Tongsheng exam will be twice in three years. If you wait until the next time, it will take more than a year to waste more than a year. It is really a very tormenting thing for Wei Liangchen.

In addition, the most important reason why the good ministers were so anxious to take the imperial examination was that the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty had certain requirements for age, or the age of the participants had a great impact on their future.

The older you are, the more bleak the future of the imperial examination will be. Let me ask, if you only become a scholar in your thirties, and only become a scholar in your 40s and 50s, how could the court focus on cultivating a person who is about to die?

Therefore, only when you pass the imperial examination when you were young and pass the Jinshi before you were thirty, will you have a bright future in the future. In the Ming Dynasty, almost all the senior officials who could enter the cabinet were on the list before you were thirty, and some even passed the Jinshi at the age of seventeen or eighteen. After these young geniuses were given priority to the Hanlin Academy by the court, and they would be of great use after a few years of training. As long as there was no big problem, usually, they would definitely enter the cabinet at the age of forty or fifty and become the highest decision-makers of the empire.

Wei Liangchen is 16 years old this year, but he is still a boy who has not passed the exam. In the south, there are many scholars of his age, and there are many juren. Therefore, if Liangchen took the imperial examination, he would have started much later. But whether he is old or small or not, there are still opportunities depends on how Liangchen seizes it.

If the imperial examination is regarded as a gate, there are several mountains behind the gate that need to be crossed. Obviously, the fame of a scholar is the key to this gate. Only by opening this gate can the good minister have the opportunity to cross mountains and hills.

And what Wei Liangchen lacks now is this key.

On the way home, Liangchen passed all the relatives of the Wei family in his memory, but in the end he had no relatives who could get along with the scholar.

He was really anxious. He knew the worldly style. As long as he could turn the corner and get involved with the scholar, he would have the chance to ask the other party to protect himself. But if he didn't even have this corner, even if he came to ask others for help, the other party would not agree to him. After all, the qualification for the government examination is not only a necessary condition for the exam, but also involves all aspects of interests.

Take the social theory of Lishu Village. Every time the Tongsheng exam is tested, there are three to five places, but there are more than this number of students who can take the exam. In other words, who can take the exam, except for whether the Tongsheng is excellent in his studies, Master Wu, who presides over the social studies, has a lot of decision-making power. Under the premise of the same academic performance, whether he can take the exam is completely determined by Master Wu. Naturally, some human accidents and interests must be involved.

Wei Liangchen can take the prefecture exam because he has already passed the county exam and has taken the prefecture exam once. Although he has not passed the exam, he will not deprive him of the county exam results. However, the prerequisite for continuing to take the prefecture exam is that a scholar is a guarantor. Wu Master no longer accepts a guarantor, so he will definitely not be given a guarantor. In this way, Wei Liangchen's quota will be given to others.

As for whether Tong Sheng's family, who had won the quota of Liangchen, gave Master Wu any benefits, it was not something Liangchen could ask. He could not accuse Master Wu of that. He was not good at it, and had been abandoned for two years, and made his reputation so bad. Even if the lawsuit was brought to the county, no one would say that Master Wu had done the wrong thing.

Could it be that the road to the imperial examination is broken like this?

I just told Wu Xiuzhi that I would be "comrades" with Pan Xuezhong in the future. If I really couldn't study in the imperial examination, this would really be a laughing stock.

Liangchen was full of worries and didn't know how he came back from the sociology. On the way home, he met Liangqing, the eldest brother who came back from chopping wood.

When Liangqing saw his younger brother running out again, he couldn't help but say a few words to him, and then pulled Liangchen home.

Liangchen did not dare to tell his elder brother about his visit to Master Wu, and followed Liangqing absent-mindedly.

Halfway through, I heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from the west. From a distance, a team was coming to the village. Many villagers ran to watch the fun, and there were many children jumping there in front of the team.

Who in the village holds a wedding?

Liangchen stopped, and his curiosity made him want to see how the Ming Dynasty married a wife.

Liangqing also took off the firewood from his shoulders, stood beside his younger brother and looked at him from afar, looking envious.

Liangchen glanced at the elder brother's expression and couldn't help but sigh in secret. Liangqing was not old in his later years, but now he is old. If he can't marry a wife again, he is afraid he will be destined to be a bachelor in this life.

The sound of gongs and drums was getting closer and closer, and the whole village was alarmed, and adults and children surrounded him. Liangchen saw his father Wei Jinde and Aunt Zhang next door were also in the crowd, so he pulled his brother over. Before his father could say to him, Liangchen asked first: "Dad, who will do the wedding today?"

"It's not someone's wedding, it's the youngest of the Zhang family who has returned." The person who spoke was Aunt Zhang, who was an enthusiastic woman, who grew up when she was young and looked at the two brothers of Liangchen.

"The youngest person in the Zhang family?"

Liangchen touched his head and didn't remember who this person was. Liangqing didn't remember it for a while, but he just felt that this person was quite familiar.

Seeing that the two brothers didn't know, Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "It's the thief who called the government shackles for a day and a night. But now he is very promising and is a husband in the palace. Now, when he returns home to see his parents coming, it looks really glorious."

While speaking, the youngest team of the Zhang family came to their eyes. Several teams of idle men often took various snacks to the villagers. There were still a few soldiers in the team, looking at the contempt, they looked like soldiers from the neighboring county garrison, and I don’t know how the youngest team of the Zhang family came. There were also people accompanying the county, and this good minister knew that it was Wu Xiuzhi’s elder brother, Wu Dezheng, who was a secretary in the sixth house in the county.

The youngest of the Zhang family was sitting in the carriage, lifting up the curtains from time to time to greet the familiar villagers, smiling and looking very unsatisfied. Li Zheng and his fellow villagers were following the carriage early, chatting and laughing with the youngest of the Zhang family.

The Zhang family laughed so hard that their mouths could not be closed, and they were arrogant inside and out.

Wu De of the Sixth House Literature Office is an extraordinary figure in the eyes of the people of Lishu Village, but now such a big figure is for the youngest person in the Zhang family, and he is willing to obey the people of the current people with a smile. This contrast has opened the horizons of the people of Lishu Village, and in addition, the youngest person in the Zhang family is even more arrogant in their minds.

After watching for a long time, Liangchen realized that the youngest person in the Zhang family was a eunuch in the palace, and "husband" was the name of the eunuch in the palace by the people at this time.

In other words, this is the story of a eunuch who had developed in the palace returning home in glory.

Liangchen could clearly see the villagers envious of the youngest Zhang family, and many people even stepped forward to compliment the youngest Zhang family. He didn't agree with it. Isn't it just a eunuch in the palace? Isn't it worth flattering like this?

However, when he turned his head and saw his elder brother Liangqing, he was stunned because Liangqing looked yearning at this moment.

The good minister was speechless and couldn't help but think of a famous saying - "A real man should be like this!"
