On the day when the government trial was released, a "clang" sound of gongs and drums alarmed Shen, who was sitting in the courtyard, who was weaving cloth.

She hurriedly got up and trotted towards the gate of the yard, just to hear her son's ranking in the mansion test earlier.

"Congratulations to Madam, Congratulations to Madam, I am the first in the high school entrance examination, and I will be the first in the case of the announcement!"

"Really? My son's high school office is in charge?"

"It must be serious. I have been right in my home ownership. Don't worry, madam."

"Okay, okay, happy together, happy together!"

Shen was so laughing so hard that he couldn't stop. He quickly took out a stack of copper coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of the clerk who reported the good news.

At the same time, Chen Yichen slowly walked to the door. In fact, since the day he was taken in the hall, he didn't care much about the ranking.

It is best to be the leader of the case. Maybe there is still a chance to be even a small and medium-sized three-yuan company. It doesn’t matter if you don’t become the leader. This is not a good deal, a member, a top student, and there is no practical benefit.

Soon the neighbors heard the good news and walked out of the house. Two households even lit firecrackers to help Chen Yichen get a good start.

To be honest, it is only when I put it in Nanjing City and meet a time traveler like Chen Yichen, I feel so calm.

If it is placed in an ordinary prefecture and county, a prefecture-in-law will be found in the village, and I am afraid the entire village will have to be placed in a few days. The village chief, the senior clan, the wealthy household, and even the officials of the county government will come to celebrate and congratulate.

In the eyes of many people in later generations, fame and fortune starts with Juren. There are many scholars as many as dogs, and children's life is even worse than dogs. In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, as long as it is not a big city like the two capitals, a scholar can live a peaceful life, and Juren is even more powerful!

After learning about his specific ranking and returning the greetings to his neighbors, Chen Yichen immediately went out to pay homage to his two gentlemen, and the etiquette he deserved was not small.

After doing all this, when Chen Yichen walked on his way home, it was almost dusk. However, when he walked into the end of the street, he found that the alley in front of his house was surrounded and could not be circulated.

Chen Yichen came to the entrance of the alley, where several yamen runners had blocked it, and ordinary people who were watching were not allowed to enter.

Through the gaps of the crowd, Chen Yichen also saw at least dozens of military service personnel in the alley, holding official plaques such as quiet and avoiding.

In addition, there seemed to be a sedan chair parked at the door of my house. Under the sunlight, you could clearly see that there was a gold ornament and silver embroidered belt on the sedan chair.

In the first year of Hongwu, there were very detailed regulations on the travel tools of officials, and only officials of third rank or above could ride in sedan chairs. However, this regulation gradually became relaxed later. Officials below third rank were comfortable and even got a sedan chair to sit.

However, the gold ornament of silver and dragon embroidered belts, such sedan decorations must be used by first to third rank officials, and violators will be severely punished. Therefore, the sedan that Shen Yichen saw now means that at least a third rank official will arrive.

In other small places, there are few third-rank high-rank officials, so it is easy to guess who the person is. But in Nanjing City, there are many third-rank and above, including various super-ranked honorary relatives, and dozens of them are still easy. Chen Yichen is really not sure who this official is.

Just when Shen Yichen was puzzled, the voices of the onlookers around him just helped him resolve his doubts.

"The head of the case is so majestic. The prefect all came over to congratulate him in person."

"No, the prefect is a third-rank official. Can you congratulate a Tongsheng?"

"I saw the official title of Yingtian Prefecture before, how could it be fake?"

"I really envy Shen for giving birth to a good son. Now the orphan and widowed mother finally made it."

"Don't talk nonsense. Have you forgotten Chen Yichen or the son of the Duke? If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be included in the genealogy and will rise to the top in the future!"

Faced with these comments about himself, Chen Yichen coughed twice awkwardly, and then shouted: "Please give up, let go."

Chen Yichen shouted, and squeezed out the crowd of onlookers and came to the military service at the blockade intersection.

"This military master is living in this alley and other courtyard, please make some convenience."

When I heard that the person came was the main master Chen Yichen. He dared not neglect the blocked military service. He hurriedly replied: "Young Master Chen doesn't dare to be a mansion. Our master has been waiting in the mansion for a long time. Please enter quickly."

After saying that, several people made a way out and bent down to make a gesture of asking for help.

Is it really the prefect of Yingtian?

Now it was Chen Yichen's turn to be surprised. What did the prefect Yingtian come to his house for nothing? Could it be that as a passerby said, he was the first to congratulate him when he was caught in the case?

To be honest, Chen Yichen didn't feel that he had such a big face that he could make an official of the level of Yingtian Prefecture congratulate him. But apart from this, he could not think of any other reason, which was really strange.

With a mentality of exploring the truth, Chen Yichen passed the military service and came to his yard.

Li Min was sitting at the table of the main house of his house, and there was a middle-aged scholar standing next to him. As for his mother, Shen, she sat aside with great restraint and nervousness.

Seeing Chen Yichen come back, Shen immediately got up and left the main hall. To be honest, she was frightened when facing the prefect, for fear that her son would cause something to happen to him, so the officers and soldiers came to him.

Even though Li Min repeatedly explained that she didn't have to panic, Shen's heart could not be relieved until she saw her son coming out, as if she had a backbone.

"Chen'er, the prefect is here, come and pay your respects."

"Mom, I know."

Looking at her mother's nervous expression, Chen Yichen naturally understood her mentality at the moment, so she made herself calmer and calmer, which could also relieve her mother's emotions.

"Student Chen Yichen, pay homage to the prefect."

"No need to be polite, I just passed by and took a look."

"The visit of the prefect is to make the humble house shine brightly."

Listening to Chen Yichen's flattery words, Li Min couldn't help but smile and said, "You kid's character, I also know a little about it, so I don't use this set of false gifts."

"There are two things that Japanese officials have come here today. One is to congratulate you on winning the first place in the case. The other is that in a few days, Yingtianfu will hold a flower viewing tour. At that time, many young ladies and ladies of the family will attend. I hope you can also attend."

Li Min came to Chen Yichen's house today, and she was indeed a passing by. After all, with his third-rank prefect, no matter how much he appreciates Chen Yichen, he would not be able to come to the door to congratulate him in person, so congratulations are by the way.

As for another thing, it was also not within the plan, because Chen Yichen was not worthy of letting Li Min come and invite him. Instead, when he passed by, he was reminded by his staff at the mansion, and Li Min had an idea that he had come up with temporarily.

Are you worried that the candidates would be criticized by the candidates for taking over the four people in the Duke of China? Then let Chen Yichen take the initiative to expose his knowledge and show everyone his knowledge and skills, and see who has anything to question.

To be serious, Li Min and her staff would have such thoughts, which has something to do with Lin Zhen.

When Lin Zhen invited Chen Yichen to attend the Winter Solstice Poetry Conference, he started as a pleasing talent, but later became famous. At the same time, Chen Yichen's performance of strength also blocked many rumors about his admission of school children as disciples, which was a killing of two birds with one stone.

Since Chen Yichen's teachers have made a move, then Li Min, Xiao Gui, Cao Sui, come and try it out.

But when Chen Yichen heard these words, he had no idea what was sold in the gourd of Lord Gong.

Although he has a good relationship with Li Min, if you are serious, except for the half-time "senior" relationship who was taken to the head of the case, everything else is just a familiar face.

What kind of flower viewing tours are there? There are also young men and ladies from the family. It is obvious that it is a high-end gathering for the powerful. What kind of virtue can I get the invitation from the prefect? ​​I am afraid that Li Min’s own nephews have this opportunity.

However, it is precisely because the relationship is not that close, Chen Yichen does not even have the qualification to refuse, otherwise the consequences may be far more serious than expected. Unlike Lin Zhen, who asked whether to attend the Winter Solstice Poetry Festival, he could also tentatively ask whether it is okay not to participate.

"I am grateful to the prefect for the love of the prefect, and the students are frightened, so I will definitely be there."

"It's very good, it's worthy of our mansion."

Sure enough, Li Min was very satisfied with Chen Yichen's attitude.

After saying that, Li Min signaled to the middle-aged scholar beside him. The latter immediately took out a tray, uncovered the red cloth on it, and revealed several ingots of silver.

"Yichen, since I am here to congratulate me, I naturally cannot come empty-handed. This is considered the red silver of my family."

The so-called "Flowering" is the silver and money given to Chinese-style Juren in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is usually about twenty taels to build Juren's archway. However, if you have excellent talent and have obtained the quota for the Imperial College for the fame of scholars, you will also enjoy "Flowering" to build the archway.

But I have never heard of it that children can even spend money.

It was obvious that Li Min made an excuse to give Chen Yichen some pocket money.

If Chen Yichen had fear and love for these things before, they were all polite etiquettes, now when Li Min brought out all the flowers and red silver, he really felt the attention of the prefect.

To put it bluntly, the visit of Yingtian Prefecture to your humble home to your child is already a great gift. As a result, you are invited to attend a gathering of powerful people and the door-to-door ceremony has not been lost. It really brings the sincerity.

"The prefect is generous, and the students are grateful."

When Li Min saw that Chen Yichen did not have the kind of courteous refusal, she accepted it directly, and understood that the other party also understood his own feelings.

So he stood up, walked to Chen Yichen, patted his shoulder intimately and said, "Yichen, I am very optimistic about your knowledge and will definitely achieve great things in the future."

This sentence is not polite to Li Min. He has seen the potential in Chen Yichen, and it is definitely not something in the pool.

"Students will definitely live up to the high expectations of adults."

"Okay, then I will stay there soon. Let the staff member Mr. Bian talk to you about other specific matters."

“Yes, the students know.”

After saying that, Li Min walked out of the main hall and left only the aide named Bian.

"My friend Chen, my surname is Bian, my name is He, and my name is Jiangxu. I have been reminiscent of it for a long time."

"Mr. Bian, you can't afford it if you are young."

The person who was very polite on the other side, Chen Yichen naturally treated him with courtesy.

"My friend Chen must be very confused at this moment, why did the prefect visit suddenly?"

"I wish to hear the good fortune of my life."

Chen Yichen is a smart person. Since the other party said that, it must be something in his words.

"It's because I helped you a little friend Chen."
