047 Xiajiang Examination Shed
To be honest, Chen Yichen really didn't expect such a scene to happen, it was like a gangster who worshiped the elder brother...
The reason why he dared to act so arrogantly today was that Duke Cheng Guo, Zhu Yong, saw his potential value and would not punish himself for fighting with several close clans.
This is often the case in reality. Even as a father and son, you have to show your own value in order to gain the recognition of the other party.
However, they were willing to recognize themselves as their elder brother, so Chen Yichen would not refuse. The reason is that this group of people does not look at them and there seems to be no hope in the imperial examinations, but they are real children of a military family, which is not adulterated.
Why did Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Yong choose to let them go to the private school? It was nothing more than to win over their fathers as confidants. This group of people is likely to be the future generals of the Ming Dynasty. Why can't they win over them in advance?
Chen Yichen did not plan to join the army, because the Ming Dynasty system determined that civil servants were the king. However, Chen Yichen would not refuse to have his own connections among military officers.
After all, a great man said it well, the power comes from the barrel of a gun. When it is really critical, whoever has a soldier and a gun in his hand will be the final winner!
"Okay, since you recognize me as the boss, I will take it as the boss."
Chen Yichen simply admitted it, but in Li Da's ears, he felt that it was wrong.
I just admitted my relationship with Chen Yichen's brother and did not give up the position of the boss of the private school in the outer school. Do these people have any misunderstandings?
But now that he has said this, even if there is a misunderstanding, Li Da can't explain it clearly, so he can only choose to default with a depressed face.
"I'm not going to have a good meal at Zuixianlou today. Since I've become your elder brother, then go to the stall in Nanshi Street. I'll treat you to a meal with San Han friends."
It is rumored that when Zhu Yuanzhang was still begging, he fell ill in winter. The beggar who was with him asked for some rice and pigs to go into the water, and stewed them in a random pot. Unexpectedly, after Zhu Yuanzhang took it, his body miraculously improved.
So he said happily that people often call pine, bamboo and plums the Three Friends of the Year Cold. Today, this pair of pigs has liver, waist and belly when they go into the water, so they are simply called "Three Friends of the Year Cold".
So in the Ming Dynasty, many vendors put pigs in the water and replaced them with a beautiful name called "Three Friends of the Cold of the Year".
"Brother, are you just eating the Three Friends of Sui Han?"
The fat white man Zhang Qi was a little disgusted. After all, the jade plate delicacies in Zuixianlou have been reduced to the pigs on the street. The difference in this level is really big.
"Some of them are good to eat, but they still dislike it?"
Chen Yichen was a little dissatisfied. The six or seven people in this group were still half a day in a period of high appetite and could not eat dozens of cents for a meal.
If I hadn't become the elder brother, I would have to be willing to give up the money, otherwise Chen Yichen would not be able to give up the money.
"Brother, don't dare."
Zhang Qi used to use Li Dahu to pretend to be a tiger's power, but now the former boss has become a younger brother himself. In addition, Chen Yichen's decisiveness in taking action is still vivid in his mind, so he dare not provoke him at this time.
"Then let's go."
Chen Yichen didn’t say nonsense either. There will be such a major event as a county exam tomorrow, so we can’t delay it too late today.
The group rushed to Nanshi Street in a mighty manner, found a roadside stall selling pigs to take a seat, and after eating a few hot food, they became active.
From talking about the fight in Zuixianlou before, everyone bragged about how powerful they were, and then talked about interesting things about the school later, revealing each other's embarrassing things, and the grievances of the past were all laughing at...
One night passed, and time came to the county test day. Chen Yichen got up early and called Zhao Hongjie, Li Da and others.
The reason why they were called to them was not much related to what happened last night was that the five people who were insured were Zhao Hongjie and several classmates in the outer hospital.
The group ate something casually in the inn and hurried to the Xiajiang Examination Shed, the location of the examination room.
Xiajiang Examination House is one of the largest county examination halls in Yingtianfu. The reason why it is called Xiajiang is that this examination hall is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Most of the candidates are Jiangsu students. The corresponding one is Shangjiang Examination House, but that examination hall is basically all students from Anhui.
After Chen Yichen and others arrived at the entrance of the examination room, there were already crowds of people here, and the entire open space in front of the yard was densely filled with the entire hospital.
The soldiers and yamen runners in Yingtian Prefecture are working hard to maintain order in the examination room, and are loudly greeting candidates from different places and academy, finding the order they belong to, and then waiting in line.
Regarding these pre-exam procedures, Chen Yichen and others were all considered old-fashioned in the county test. Even if they didn’t have to say hello, they knew what to do. Soon the group found the right place.
However, under the preface of the Duke Chenggong Mansion's private school, Chen Yichen saw a group of "old acquaintances". Zhu Qingyu and others who were beaten up by Zuixianlou last night. They also wanted to participate in today's county examination, even arrived earlier than themselves.
To be honest, Chen Yichen did not expect to see them here because it was not uniform for internal and external colleges to register for the county examination. In addition, in Shen Yichen's subconscious, he believed that the students of the inner colleges, at least they are scholars, how could they still need to take the county examination?
This way of thinking is because Chen Yichen completely brought himself into the identity of the outer school. After all, only the best scholars who passed the examination in the outer school are qualified to go to the inner school to study.
But the problem is that the Zhu clans in the inner courtyard do not need the ticket for scholars themselves, and they can enter the school with their bloodline.
And then again, the children of the military generals in the outer courtyard are not interested in learning and cannot pass the exam for children all year round. How good can the clan dandy children in the inner courtyard be? It may be even more important to eat, drink and have fun, so it is not surprising to meet Zhu Qingyu and others taking the county exam.
It was just like the enemy was extremely jealous when they met! Zhu Qingyu and his gang also saw Chen Yichen and others, and their anger immediately surged into their hearts.
Zhu Qingyu was about to make some fierce expressions at Chen Yichen to gain the upper hand in momentum, but he suddenly pulled the scars on the corner of his mouth, and immediately grinned in pain. How embarrassed this expression was.
The other Zhu family members in the inner courtyard were not much better, either panda eyes or "blush" on their faces. In terms of their ability to fight, they are really not as good as those of military generals and school children in the outer courtyard.
"Yichen, they won't cause trouble for us now, are they?"
The impulse of last night had passed, and the "remaining power" of the clan of the inner courtyard was still there. When Zhao Hongjie saw them again, he felt a little panicked and asked carefully with Chen Yichen.
"Won't."
After saying this, Chen Yichen thought about it and expressed it more accurately: "At least not now."
This is the entrance of the Xiajiang Examination House. Fightings and fighting are strictly prohibited in the important places of the scientific examination. If there is any violation, the reference qualification will be directly disqualified.
The relatives of the inner court are not the sons of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Cheng Guo, so there are not so many places for the prison. It is nothing more than having a stronger family background. If you want to truly achieve great achievements in your career, you have to rely on the imperial examination to take the lead.
Even if they take a step back, they don’t plan to take the exam and are preparing to “died together” with Chen Yichen. This behavior is equivalent to ruining the county examination of the children of military generals in the outer school.
As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. If a scientific examination was cut off in ancient times, the hatred value would never be lower than the wealth path. At that time, the children and parents of these military generals would definitely find Zhu Yong, Zhu Yong, to seek justice!
When children fight, Zhu Yong may favor his relatives, but the importance of such major disputes and confidants in the officialdom is far greater than that of close relatives and side branches.
With the rationality of Chengguo Duke Zhu Yong, there is no suspense about how to make a choice!
As expected, as Chen Yichen predicted, even if Zhu Qingyu was dissatisfied, he could only hold on in this occasion, and both sides clearly stood under the order of the first sign.
Compared to Zhu Qingyu's resentment, Chen Yichen, as the winner of the fight last night, naturally felt less aggrieved.
So he didn't care that Zhu Qingyu wanted to eat his eyes, but looked around with interest to see the grand occasion of Jiangning County exam today.
Looking at the past, there were crowds of people in front of the examination room, Chen Yichen thought that he, who had not won several years, would be considered an older person in this place.
As a result, he was wrong. He could see several middle-aged students with just a glance, probably at least thirty years old.
Of course, there are many young children among the candidates, but compared with Chen Yichen's age, he really can't be considered an older candidate.
The reason why I have the illusion of being an old man is that Chen Yichen is young in school, so he took so many exams.
On the other hand, the educational resources of the Duke of Chengguo Mansion are too excellent, and many young candidates have been produced, which leads Chen Yichen to mistakenly think that Tong Sheng Xiucai's fame can be taken casually.
In fact, unless the scholarly family and family background are very wealthy, they are the few who want to fully graduate from a good education like Chen Yichen at a age.
Many children in private schools in the countryside have to learn a book called "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic" for several years with a teacher who has not even entered the school. As for advanced eight-legged essays and reference books for solving problems, Luoyang paper is even more expensive.
With such an environment and educational resources, how can it be easy to get a scholar?
"It's true that educational resources are not equal in that era."
Faced with this scene, Chen Yichen couldn't help but sigh, in the last life of the college entrance examination, he wanted to be a student in those advantageous areas.
Now it seems that after traveling through time, my dream came true in a sense?
After a lot of thoughts, the yamen runners called the Xujin card of Duke Cheng's Mansion. Chen Yichen and others quickly took out the "Secret Seal of Recognition" and prepared to accept the names of soldiers and search for them to confirm that they did not carry cheating items.
