Chapter 1822 National Fortune
Changzhong Huiyuan made more eyes fall on him. Zhou Shuren was afraid that his youngest son would be plotted, and several people from the Duke of Yong'an were warnings!
Zhou Shuren doesn't think he can rest assured, and there are too many people who are crazy in front of interests.
Chang Zhong was also very obedient. He never left the house after reading the list once. All posts were pushed, and the reasons were ready. He wanted to prepare for the palace examination, and no one dared to disturb him, for fear of affecting him, and he was given a revenge for losing the top scholar in Zhou Hou’s mansion.
Zhulan also learned about Yang Xiu from Changzhong. This time, Yang Xiu insisted on taking the exam and ranked fifth, which was his son's competitor.
On this day, Changyi was at home and after breakfast, he came to the main courtyard to talk to his mother.
Zhulan asked, "I heard from your father that the Ministry of Rites has prepared a list?"
Chang Yi used to telling his father everything to his mother, "Yes, you also know that the Ministry of Rites will add a group of people. Now the list is out, the Ministry of Rites has drawn up a list of inspections, with a total of fifty people on the list."
Zhulan raised her eyebrows, "How do you know so clearly?"
Changyi smiled, "I saw it at the right assistant minister. The right assistant minister has a good relationship with his son."
In addition, his background does not involve the dispute between the Ministry of Rites, he still feels a little face in front of the left and right ministers.
Zhulan asked, "Did you see the list?"
Changyi nodded, "My son glanced at the two familiar ones that were on the list."
Zhulan felt aroused in her heart, "Yang Xiu, there is another surname, Liu, why is she named Liu?"
Chang Yi remembers clearly, "Liu Mingsheng."
"Yes, it's him."
Zhulan has a good impression of Liu Mingsheng. Some people abandon their wife for the sake of their future, and some people even over-replace their wives as concubines. It is rare for Liu Mingsheng to never leave him!
Chang Yi smiled: "This time Liu Mingsheng entered the top 100, and his son is very optimistic about him."
Zhulan thought for a while and said, "This list is not easy to draw!"
Chang Yi nodded, "Anyway, it doesn't involve his son. His son often watches operas. By the way, my son heard that he wants to run a women's academy for specialized studies?"
"Has news been heard?"
Changyi, "Not only a few people know about the Ministry of Rites."
Zhulan said: "I did mention it with Rong Chuan. After the year, the college has more specialized in studying. I want to wait for the autumn harvest to see. Do you know what you think?"
She told Rong Chuan to take the idea of temptation.
Chang Yi smiled, "You set up the Women's College first. The college is very successful. The woman has proved her ability. After hearing this news, the Ministry of Rites did not react violently."
There is no male teaching in the Women's College, and even eunuchs who have men will not affect the reputation of girls. The emperor's attitude is to support women in his study. In addition, the official family members will also ask the husband to read and read in the boudoir, so there is a rumor that everyone has a high acceptance.
The next day, Zhulan went to the college and didn't see Jiang Ling, but only saw Shao Ting herself, "Where is your sister-in-law?"
Shao Ting's cheeks were slightly red and hesitant, "My sister-in-law said I was old and no elders at home saved me a dowry. My sister-in-law ordered the wood to go see the wood."
Zhulan knew it, Jiang Ling bought wood to make a bed for Shao Ting and other furniture, "Your sister-in-law treats you like a sister."
Shao Ting was embarrassed and moved. Since the Hou Mansion revealed the letter, her sister-in-law has been busy helping her get a dowry. She knew the situation at home that her elder brother could take out 200 taels of silver. In the end, her sister-in-law decided to get her the money she had in the box to get a dowry.
Zhulan stayed until the afternoon to see Jiang Ling, and Jiang Ling said, "Director, you are here."
Zhulan was going back with the newly compiled books. When she saw Jiang Ling, she asked, "Have you bought the wood?"
Jiang Ling looked happy and said, "I bought it, but fortunately I made a reservation, otherwise I wouldn't be able to grab it."
Zhulan thought for a while and said, "The betrothal gifts prepared by our Marquis' Mansion are generous."
Jiang Ling understood, "I will take away all the betrothal gifts for the girl, and it is my intention to be my sister-in-law."
She really felt sorry for her sister-in-law. Of course, there was also a side that was beneficial to her husband when she married into the Marquis’ Mansion. In order to consider the long-term decent sister-in-law’s mansion, the couple could borrow more benefits. She understood everything in her heart.
Zhulan knew that Jiang Ling had money and Jiang Ling was a good person to live. She came to Beijing with Yueyin and she gave her some things from time to time. Jiang Ling never spent much money. She also had a bank account at the end of the year, so Jiang Ling was very rich.
Zhulan sat in the carriage and thought that Jiang Ling made up her mind to get a dowry for Shao Ting, even if Minghui didn't have enough money to add to her.
After careful calculation, Shao Ting's dowry is better than many legitimate daughters in the official family.
As time shifted to the day of the palace examination, those who did not escort Changzhong did not want Changzhong to participate in the palace examination, but unfortunately the curse was gone.
Everyone was so calm when they saw the emperor. Chang Zhong was the least nervous at this time. Chang Zhong was already used to it.
The emperor also called Changzhong forward, "Your Zhonghuiyuan wrote a very good article, and I look forward to your performance today."
Chang Zhong said confidently: "Students must do their best."
Others became sore, which reduced the tension in their hearts, which was also a good thing.
An hour later, the emperor had already walked around and had written a lot of things quickly, but the emperor was dissatisfied with it after reading it.
Chang Zhong did not write quickly. He was afraid that he would rewritten it if he wrote a wrong word and wasted. It not only took time but also affected his thinking. Today, the emperor gave a question about the imperial examinations to select talents, how to select talents more comprehensively, etc., which actually reflects the reform of the imperial examinations.
The main exam questions in the spring exam are not out of line, and today they are not friendly to those who study eight-legged essays.
What the emperor wants to see is thoughts. Those who can walk to the palace examination will not be stupid even if they are imprisoned. They will not sweat on their foreheads.
The emperor went to deal with the government affairs halfway, but the prince was not idle even though he was staring at it. He held a newspaper in his hand. The newspaper reported on the new law. After the new law was promoted, the Ministry of Justice handled several cases to prove that the new law was good. In order to better promote the law, the newspapers this month were all related to the law.
The prince is not a nitpicking person, but he likes to find loopholes. He thinks that the law can be added, but he has plans in his mind but is not anxious.
The time was coming, the papers were placed on the table, and everyone stood up and left in order. Today, someone jumped up in a mentality and cried when he left the hall, all because he had not finished writing!
Chang Zhong thought quietly that reform would inevitably eliminate some people. For the dynasty, reform was like injecting vitality, which was the destiny of the country.
At the entrance of the palace, Zhou Shuren went to the yamen in advance. He stood at the entrance of the palace to form an open space. His expression was too serious, so that those who wanted to please did not dare to come.
Zhou Shuren's eyes were pretty good. At first glance, he finally had a smile on his face.
Chang Zhong saw his father at first sight, and ran over after he left the palace gate, "Dad, come and pick me up."
Zhou Shuren looked at the old son and felt a lot of emotion, "Let's go, let's have a few drinks today."
Chang Zhong was afraid that his father had a good alcohol tolerance, "You want to get your son drunk!"
Zhou Shuren laughed, "Yes, let's compare today."
Chang Zhong smiled and said, "Dad, you will go to the morning court tomorrow."
