Li Tingxiu walked into the lecture hall to teach normally, without mentioning anything about the Winter Solstice Poetry Festival.

Because in his eyes, as long as he enters this school, he is just a student, and no matter how famous he is outside, it has nothing to do with it.

In the classroom, all you need to do is to teach and answer questions.

After the early schooling, the students of the private school finally couldn't help but talk about Chen Yichen's story of the poetry meeting last night.

But compared to the previous ignorance, they are now more low-key. Maybe this is the reality. When Chen Yichen's identity and fame have greatly widened the gap with his classmates, those who looked down on him before now have to bow their heads.

The popularity of the Winter Solstice Poetry Festival reached its peak in the following period. The main reason is that Chen Yichen's song "Jin Mingchi" was constantly sung by Qinhuai geisha and gradually spread to the south of the country.

But things like popularity always fall on the day. After almost a month, the name Chen Yichen began to gradually be forgotten by people.

The reason is that besides the time factor, Chen Yichen has no fame and fortune. No matter how unparalleled the poems are written, even the schoolchildren cannot pass the exam, so they cannot establish a tall image in the hearts of the scholars in the world.

There may be a lot of people who agree with Chen Yichen's talent, but few people will learn to imitate Chen Yichen and treat him as their idol.

It was soon the end of the year, and heavy snow fell rarely in Nanjing, which was in the Jiangnan region.

Standing in his own courtyard, Chen Yichen looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky. He did not think that this was a beautiful scenery and was poetic like a traditional literati.

But I knew very well that the temperature in Nanjing was getting lower and lower, which meant that the cooling of the Little Ice River during the Ming Dynasty became more and more serious. Since then, natural disasters have been frequent, and the grain production has been greatly reduced, which has caused severe social turmoil and eventually became one of the straws that crushed the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Yichen did not have too much compassion for the world in the past, but now in this era, he occasionally wonders whether he has the ability to turn the world and save the people?

"Chen'er, the yard is cold, hurry back to the house."

Seeing his son standing in the center of the yard enjoying the snow, Shen shouted, "If you get cold or something, that's a big deal."

"Okay, I'll go back now."

Chen Yichen responded and walked into the house.

At this moment, a full New Year's Eve dinner was prepared on the table. Although the family was not loose, Shen would rather treat herself badly than treat her son's food badly.

So I have all kinds of chicken, duck, fish and meat, so I want to let Chen Yichen eat well, have a good health next year and make progress in the imperial examination.

The mother and son just sat at the dining table, eating and chatting about family matters. However, most of the time, the mother Shen was talking and Chen Yichen was listening.

When they were at the end of the meal, fireworks and firecrackers were set off outside the window. The shiny fireworks in the sky attracted the attention of the mother and son. At the same time, both of them had their own worries.

When Chen Yichen saw the fireworks, he couldn't help but remember the night he was with Chen Qingtong on Nanshi Street. It was also since that night that he had never seen Chen Qingtong again. I don't know how she is now.

In Shen's mind, it was Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng.

"Chen'er, my grandfather is invading Mongolia and I don't know what's going on now."

Shen was not very clear about these major issues in the country, so he could only ask his son.

"It should have been out of Beijing, and I will meet the three guards of Urianha soon."

If Chen Yichen remembers correctly, on the 11th day of the first lunar month of the ninth year of Zhengtong, Zhu Yong, Duke Chengguo, and Monk Bao, sent troops to Xifengkou, Xing'an Bo Xu Heng and eunuch Cao Jixiang, left the Jielingkou, Governor Chen Huai and eunuch, but lived in Gubeikou, Governor Ma Liang and eunuch Liu Yongcheng came out of Liujiakou, and each commanded ten thousand elite troops to fight and suppress them.

At the same time, the Wasaka tribe in Mongolia and the Jianzhou guards of Liaodong also took the opportunity to join forces and eventually defeated the three guards of Urianha.

However, this battle did not make a big gain. It only regained some of the population and livestock plundered by the three Guryanha guards. After careful calculation, it was not even recovered the cost of sending troops.

And more importantly, the three Guards of Urianha, which were originally jumping left and right, after this expedition, completely turned to Yeshen, who was the Mongolian Watshu tribe, which laid hidden dangers for the future transformation of Tumu Fort.

It can be said that in the nine years of Zhengtong, the three guards of the North Urianha who won the battle in the north, they lost a lot of tactical and strategic perspectives.

"The swords and guns are blind. The master is old now. He is fighting outside. I hope he must be careful in his health."

Shen's face was full of worries. Even though Duke Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong was a "scumbag", she still had no intention of holding a grudge.

Chen Yichen couldn't say anything about this scene. He was emotionally unacceptable, but he knew very rationally that this was the traditional thinking of women under the feudal ethics system, following their father at home, following their husbands when they get married, and following their sons when they die.

No matter what Zhu Yong did, even if he abandoned Shen, as long as he was still alive, his mother must obey this so-called "husband".

Even Chen Yichen's original emotions towards Zhu Yong were extremely complicated, with love and hatred. Seriously speaking, love is far more than hatred. If Zhu Yong was willing to recognize his son, he would probably have no hatred.

"Don't worry, mom, the master will be fine."

Although Chen Yichen now has gradually lost those complicated emotions about Duke Cheng Guo, Zhu Yong, it is still good to be safe and sound.

Hearing Chen Yichen's words, Shen nodded and did not continue to say it, but the worry in his eyes was still lingering.

After the first month of the year, the news of Duke Cheng's north expedition to Mongolia finally came from the north. Zhu Yong defeated the Mongolian army twice in Fuyuchuan and Reshuichuan. He was commended by the emperor and was officially promoted to Taibao and ranked in the third public position.

At the same time, Zhu Yong's title also reached its peak at this time. He had the title of Duke of Chengguo, the governor of the Central Army Governor's Office, the special promotion of Ronglu Dafu, the Right Pill Kingdom, the Taibao, etc.

Not counting as a title, there are only many officials here, and there are several first-class titles that they have always looked up to throughout their lives. It can be said that in addition to the royal family, Zhu Yong has achieved a position of less than one person and more than ten thousand people.

However, Chen Yichen knew very well how heavy the water was in this so-called good news. But he had no energy at this moment to pay attention to this kind of war far away, because the Yingtian Prefecture and County Examination in the ninth year of Zhengtong of the Ming Dynasty was about to come.

Not to mention Chen Yichen, the entire outer courtyard and private school of Duke Cheng’s Mansion was filled with a tense atmosphere, just like the eve of the college entrance examination in later generations.

Many people who are usually ignorant, such as Li Da, start to pick up the Buddha's feet temporarily, thinking that they can lose their luck in the county exam and get into a child scholar or something.

After school that day, Chen Yichen did not go home directly, but went to his study as Li Tingxiu's instructions.

Each table and one frame is still in the same furnishings. Li Tingxiu sat in front of the desk. Chen Yichen came in and saluted and said, "Sir, the student is here."

"Um."

Li Tingxiu nodded and said, "Yichen, do you know what your teacher asked you to come?"

"Students probably guessed it was about the county exam."

"That's right, the county exam will be held in more than ten days. I have a few words to ask you for my teacher."

"Sir, please speak."

"Is it already appropriate to make a settlement for insurance?"

The so-called payment as insurance means that all school children who participate in the county examination need to apply for the examination at the county courtroom and fill in their own hometown, name, age, resume of the three generations, appearance and other information.

In addition, you need to complete the exam with five students and find a student from the county as a guarantee. Make sure that all the information is true, not prostitutes, good, soap, or clans, and are not in the mourning period of their parents, and you will be allowed to register for the exam.

This is not the first time Chen Yichen has taken the county exam. To be precise, he has every county exam, so he is familiar with these preliminary preparations and has already been done.

"Sir, it's all right."

"Can you have backups of pen, ink, paper and inkstone?"

During the scientific examination, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are a detail that cannot be ignored. Once there is a problem in the examination room, it is really called "don't respond every day" and "don't work".

It is impossible for you to knock on the "number house" next door and then say, "Big brother, lend your pen and ink."

If you do this, you can expel the examination room at the slightest and never hire it. If you are serious about fraud, you will really have the possibility of being a beheaded.

Therefore, pen, ink, paper and ink, etc. must be prepared and there must be extra backups.

"Sir, you're ready."

"Can you know the preparation for cold clothes and food?"

Chen Yichen replied seriously with the first two answers, but when Li Tingxiu asked about this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This is completely different from the previous image of a strict teacher. It is like an old mother, and she even starts to worry about dressing and eating.

"What's ridiculous?"

"Sir, have you forgotten how many times I took the exam back to the county to take the exam?"

Hearing this, Li Tingxiu was stunned. Perhaps Chen Yichen's performance was too outstanding recently. He forgot that this kid was a "routine" who could not even pass the exam for a child.

"Ahem."

At this time, Li Tingxiu coughed twice, covering up his embarrassment.

"I listen to your words, and I feel proud after taking the exam multiple times?"

"Sir, no..."

Seeing Chen Yichen becoming honest, Li Tingxiu felt that he had slightly regained his dignity, so he said, "Yichen, unlike in the past, this time he is a teacher, not worried about you in terms of knowledge."

"But there is no fixed number in the imperial examination. I only hope to see your nomination for the red case."

The list of Jinshi is called the Golden List and the Imperial List, while the list of scholars is generally called the draft and the Red Case. Li Tingxiu called Chen Yichen this time and had no other hope, just hopes to see his students in high school.

"Students will definitely live up to what the teacher wants."

Chen Yichen bowed formally and from Li Tingxiu's lovely inquiries, he knew very well that this was the teacher's nervousness and importance to him.
