Chapter four hundred and eighteen tossing

Since the imperial examination ended in mid-April, Qin Jinyan reported the fraud in the imperial examination, which was considered to be the emperor's eyes. After getting another hundred stalemates of money, he went home.

After a while, he got home and was at the end of June, and he was not home. The style of Fengzhou is nostalgic.

When he came back this time, the entire prefecture and county were shocked. This person, who met Tianyan and made the entire court subvert most of the officials, hated and afraid, was considered a personal figure after all.

Therefore, although Qin Jinyan returned home and looked at his fence courtyard, the original rooster crowing had long disappeared, and he sold it for his savings.

Only the black dog still squatted at the yard gate, looking at the unfaithful strangers with vigilant eyes.

There were not many packages, he was alone enough to stand in front of the courtyard, and was filled with emotion.

"Woom--" The nose sniffed, and the black dog found that it was a familiar smell, so he ran over immediately, circled around, his tail shaking quickly, and he was very excited.

"Da Hei, I'm back!" Qin Jinyan said with a smile, touched the dog's head, and slowly walked into the door.

As soon as I entered the school, I heard the sound of the loom in my memory. When I looked up, my mother was busy in the house, her face was full of fatigue, her figure was thin, and her old men on her clothes were one after another.

"My mother! I'm back!" he shouted happily.

"Jinyan is back?" Ah Niang's movements stopped immediately. She left the spinning wheel and looked at her son's figure, and was particularly happy: "Are you hungry after such a long road?"

She didn't ask if she passed the exam, because she had been silent for a long time. If she had passed the exam, the local area would have been playing drums and drums. Now she is as calm as usual and can only care about her son's health.

"Why did you come back then? I heard that you have sued the emperor? Mr. Zhang's house in the city has been moved to Changsha Prefecture, and Zhang Langjun was also exiled to Jiaozhou..."

"It's okay, I'm just staying in Guangzhou for a while!" Qin Jinyan did not talk about his ups and downs in Guangzhou, but instead said lightly. He knew that if he told the truth, his mother would definitely be frightened.

"Where is the grandpa?"

"He went to plow the fields. He heard that the rice in Chameng was absent from the land, and the time was short. He was going to plant a few acres of land!"

Ah Niang was a little blamed in her words. She was always on guard against unfamiliar things. After all, her family only had twenty acres of land, and a few acres were missing, which had a great impact.

"I also heard about it in Guangzhou. Last year, Chengtian Mansion planted a lot and could harvest it in two months. Although it was a little less, it was very fast and didn't cost much land. At this age, it was good to collect more food. Grandpa made a good job!"

Qin Jinyan said seriously.

"Since you said it's OK, it's going to be fine!" She felt relieved when she heard her son's words. After all, she was a scholar and knew more, and she was much more trustworthy than the old man.

"When will this Chameng rice be transmitted?"

"Not a month after you left, your uncle's family planted it. It was the seeds bought by the county, and then you grandma went to plant them, which made me worry for a while! After all, the family owed a lot of money, and if it was delayed, it would be bad."

My mother nagged for a while, then went to the stove to prepare for cooking. After all, my son came back from all the way, so it was still appropriate to eat something to fill her stomach.

He hurried at the stove and stuffed firewood. How could he calculate the decentness of a scholar in this countryside, at home?

If you fail to pass the Jinshi, what other decency is there for a scholar?

"Ahem!" He looked at Ah Niang's busy figure with firewood, and said, "Ah Niang, I can pay back the debt I owe today!"

"Where did the money come from?"

"I sued the emperor for a complaint, and the emperor rewarded him for a full hundred coins!"

"Blessed by Buddha, the emperor is so kind-hearted!" The mother immediately believed her son's words, and she burst into tears in her eyes with joy:

"Your grandma has been busy for several months and finally has a rest! The remaining money is enough for you to take the imperial examination again!"

"I won't go, I'll keep the money at home!" Qin Jinyan said.

"What a good man, how can a man give up? If he fails the imperial examination in one time, he will take the exam twice or three times. Our family must have an official position!"

Outside the door, a scolding came, and when he looked up, a man in short clothes walked in, smelling sweat all over his body.

"Grandma!" Qin Jinyan was quite afraid: "No matter how many times we went, we can't win. It's better to keep the money at home!"

Although his father looks like a farmer, he is a scholar and has a better knowledge than him. If he goes to the capital, he will definitely be able to pass the Jinshi. However, his family's property is not abundant, so he can only supply one person to go to the capital. After borrowing debts, the father naturally gave it to his son.

"You—" Looking at his son's appearance, Qin Lang felt sorry for his bad luck, "In Beijing, you dare to sue the emperor, why are you timid again now?"

"Did you know everything?" Qin Jinyan raised his head.

"Hmph, do you still need to inquire? They just told me! Look, what are these?"

As he said that, Qin Lang took out a large stack of money tickets from his arms, all of which were the largest denominations. Together, there were still two or three hundred coins.

"These money was sent by the officials from the prefectures and counties!"

"The child cannot pass the Jinshi, what should I do if I send money?" Qin Jinyan said in confusion.

"After the imperial examination, thousands of troops cross a single-plank bridge. With your qualifications, you may have hope, but you are timid and you will lose three points before entering the examination room. It's okay if you don't go to the imperial examination!"

Qin Lang was wearing a short shirt, his legs and feet were covered in mud, but he was talking, which was really weird.

"You just returned home and didn't know that the court issued an edict saying that in the future, the imperial examination will be taken every three years, unless you meet Enke."

"Three years? It's too long?" Qin Jinyan said.

"Do you think it's not done in previous years? There were more than 100 Jinshi students in this imperial examination. In addition, there were 300 people in Mingjing, Mingjuan, Mingfa, and Mingfa. It's considered short of each academic year. In the past ten years, there were not so many people!"

"Besides, there are so many people who pass the exam, so who have so many official positions?"

When I heard what Grandpa said, I was really enlightened, but I felt depressed. Even if I really didn’t know, I was still lucky.

"In addition to explaining this matter, the emperor will also set up two subjects of scholars and juren in the local area. Only juren can participate in the imperial examination and become a Jinshi!" Qin Lang sighed.

"What about this, what about scholars? So what about Juren?"

"Scholars are exempted from labor service. When they see officials, they will not kneel down and submit the complaints directly to the county magistrate without passing through the county magistrate. They can also travel around the world and betroth a sword. Moreover, it is rumored that in the future, the sixth house in the county magistrate and the prefecture magistrate cannot be held as the chief of the sixth house of the county magistrate."
