However, I still got the qualification to take the Taoist test. Although this qualification can be purchased with money, there are other ways, which are of little significance.

After all, the Taoist examination determines the scholar's reputation, and those who pass the examination are considered true scholars, which is naturally unusual. There are Xuezheng officials who are specifically in charge of the affairs of Confucian students in a province.

After visiting the saint's portrait, Xie Yu set his sights on the deputy Xuezheng, Jia Zheng.

interesting!

This is the father of the male protagonist Jia Baoyu. It can be said that the Jia family in Red Mansion is a relatively decent scholar!

As a result, Xie Yu naturally won the exam, but he only scored twenty-five in the B list. The more he took the exam, the worse he got.

However, it is a good thing if you win. You can have the political rights of not having to kneel when you see officials, you are exempted from personal corvee, you don't have to pay public food, you can use slaves in a fair way at home, and you can not be punished in government offices.

This is the reason why under the ancient imperial examination system, when a person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

I set off firecrackers at the door to celebrate, and I'm not afraid of what others will say.

Naturally, the sound of firecrackers reached the Jia Mansion. Jia Zheng knew in his ears that it was coming from the back porch of the Rongguo Mansion. Jia Zheng was a little happy. She took the initiative to apply to be a deputy academic principal this time because she also wanted to see her family members.

Are there any prospects for the imperial examination?

Because of the lake name system and Jia Zheng's disdain for petty tricks, he thought it was the members of the Jia family who had gained the reputation of being a scholar.

With a happy face, he quickly asked his servants to inquire.

Only then did we find out that it was Jia Yun's friend who was staying at the house of his fifth nephew's daughter-in-law on Xiling Back Street. A man named Xie Yu was ranked twenty-five on the B list.

Only then did Jia Zheng come back to his senses. He was also the deputy academic master of this Taoist examination. He naturally understood something and said with emotion, "I forgot about it." If there really was a Jia family, how could he not know about it.

There have been flatterers for a long time, so I reported him in advance.

At the same time, he also understood what the twenty-five on the hepatitis B list meant, and said with emotion, Jia Yun, the fifth nephew's daughter-in-law in the back porch, was lucky enough to see something when she had time, and then forgot about it.

But the words soon reached the ears of Jia Lian's daughter-in-law, Wang Xifeng. Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng naturally understood something, and then thought of Jia Lian's previous agreement.

He also took back the errand of managing the family temple in the newly built Grand View Garden from Jia Qin and planned to reassign it to Jia Yun.

Jia Yun was naturally very happy to receive this unexpected blessing. After stuffing her money with her, she inquired about it and found out that it was Master Zheng who praised her and Grandma Feng assigned it. She was even more happy.

I thought to myself: "Sure enough, obtaining fame through the imperial examination is the right path in life. What a pity that I didn't have that hard work back then?"

Sure enough, one time later, Jia Zheng went to see the Daguanyuan Family Temple and saw that Jia Yun managed it in an orderly manner. He remembered the familiar name Jia Yun and told him to study hard before leaving.

After Wang Xifeng found out, she was thankful for her own method. It seemed that she should study and be sensible.

This is a later story. I learned that Jia Yun was selected by Wang Xifeng of the Jia family to take care of the future family temple in the newly built Grand View Garden.

Xie Yu doesn't seem to have such a thing in his memory, but he still mostly congratulates him. After all, the Jia family is now a raging fire, and any job is very profitable, let alone the job of managing people.

After Jia Yun confirmed that she could work part-time as the storekeeper of the grocery store and the management of the family temple in the Grand View Garden, Xie Yu didn't say much.

Make money! Hard work is nothing. Although this grocery store doesn't have much income, it is just a way to cover up Xie Yu's money.

In fact, Jia Yun understood that she got this job in the Jia family because Master Zheng felt that she was on good terms with a scholar like Xie Yu and took a second look at him.

So Jia Yun naturally doesn't want to cut off contact with Xie Yu now. He can see now that Xie Yu doesn't let others go when it comes to studying for the imperial examination. It seems that the imperial examination is very difficult for many scholars, but it doesn't seem to be too difficult for Xie Yu.

Look.

Jia Yun knew about the existence of Xie Yu's broken road guide, and he helped arrange it when Xie Yu was qualified for the scientific examination, although he got some benefits in the process.

Not to mention, Jia Yun saw with her own eyes that Xie Yu went from being a "farmer" young man in ordinary clothes to gaining fame and building a family business step by step, which can be said to be a model for a poor family to turn around.

So Jia Yun still thinks that he and Xie Yu are in the same boat. Seeing that Xie Yu's path to fame must be more than just a scholar, Jia Yun naturally doesn't want to get off the boat.

In fact, Xie Yu also thought this way. Since he knew that this was the world of Dream of Red Mansions, he naturally wanted to explore the context of the Jia family.

However, the wealthy and powerful members of the Jia family, as a refugee and beggar, did not want to join the Jia family as slaves like Tang Bohu, so it would be more appropriate to use a "middleman" to establish a connection with the Jia family first.

And Jia Yun is indeed the most suitable candidate.

After that, Xie Yu enrolled in Fu Xue.

I didn't expect to see Wei Ruolan, Feng Ziying, and Chen Yejun here at Fuxue.

This time, these three people were not included in the list of candidates for the college, and these three people were not seen enrolling in the county school. It was not that Xie Yu looked down upon their knowledge, but that Xie Yu thought that with their status and family connections, it was a good idea to enroll in the Imperial College.

Common thing.

I just didn't expect the three of them to study in a government school.

After Xie Yu took the initiative to greet them, Chen Yejun had some impressions of Xie Yu. Speaking of which, he remembered that they were both children of the same age, and their relationship was somewhat close.

This is the friend circle of scholars.

After a brief chat, you will know that although the contents of the county and government examinations have different levels of content, they mainly test memory and dictation skills.

The college examination is the preliminary examination of the provincial examination, the general examination, and the palace examination.

When it comes to eight-legged essays, these three people have been taught by famous teachers at home since childhood. Although they did not memorize it silently, they spent their early efforts on memorizing and writing Confucian classics.

After all, only by passing the boy's examination can one take the next subject, and the path to the imperial examination is clear at every level.

Of the three, only Wei Ruolan was somewhat confident about taking the college exam. However, Wei Ruolan was high-spirited and took the college exam, so his eyes naturally focused on those at the top of the A-list.

Feng Ziying did not mention it, but Chen Yejun pretended to accompany Feng Ziying, but he was not sure that he would succeed in the first try.

Considering that they are only 17 or 18 years old now, Feng Ziying's father is a third-grade Shenwu general, and the other two are also from noble families with similar family backgrounds. It's pretty good to be so ambitious.

At this time, Chen Yejun asked Xie Yu why he came to study in the government. After all, Xie Yu came from a peasant family and studied in the county.

I am speculating on whose connections Xie Yu left.

Only then did Xie Yu realize that he was ranked twenty-fifth on the B-list and went to school according to the normal procedure.

The expressions of the three of them changed a little when they heard what Xie Yu said. However, Wei Ruolan wanted to ask Xie Yu how he solved the problem in this college examination.

When Xie Yu recited the outline of his article, Wei Ruolan sighed with emotion and said in surprise: "Isn't such an article on the top of the list? It's so difficult..."

On the other hand, Feng Ziying listened to Xie Yu's eight-legged article. Although she didn't comment on it, her attitude towards Xie Yu was much better.

No matter what their status is, they are all fellow Confucian disciples when it comes to studying. No matter what their original intentions and purposes, they are all students of learning.

Wei Ruolan first exchanged eight-part essay techniques with Xie Yu. Students who have had learning experience know that those who are taught by peers are the fastest, because they do not mix too much resistance and rebellious emotions.

Finally, Feng Ziying also joined in, and Xie Yu casually pointed out a rhyme on how to solve a problem, which shocked Feng Ziying. She didn't expect that the book could be read like this, and it didn't have to be memorized!

Afterwards, Xie Yucai asked his doubts as to why they were not admitted to the Imperial College.

Wei Ruolan only said that she wanted to study, and she was further along the scientific examination road, so Feng Ziying naturally came to accompany Wei Ruolan.

Chen Yejun shook his head helplessly. It seemed that these two friends were joining in the fun, but it also showed that Chen Yejun was a loyal person.

Later, when they were in the government school, the four of them formed a study group. The leader was Feng Ziying. In fact, Xie Yu also had a lot of say, not only because Xie Yu was the oldest among the four, but also because of Xie Yu's eight-legged essay.

There are so many little tricks!

Learning eight-legged essay with Xie Yu is much better than learning it from Confucius.

This is how personal relationships are sometimes established, especially Feng Ziying, who has a wide range of friends and often drags Xie Yu to participate in some games.

In these games, Xie Yu's poetry was mediocre, but he knew music theory and painting skills. Although he was often ridiculed for his poor limericks, he did build a good relationship.

No one likes their friends. Friends who are perfect and have shortcomings are more close to them.

This also allowed Xie Yu to better understand the cultural atmosphere of the world, and he made some conscious adjustments. Reading cannot be done behind closed doors, and many things are not recorded in books.

In the twelfth lunar month, Wei Ruolan, Feng Ziying, and Chen Yejun came to the back streets of Rongguofu for the first time and visited Xie's house for the first time.

Xie Yu naturally took Jia Yun to accompany the guests. From Xie Yu's calm demeanor, Jia Yun finally understood the difference between scholars and even hated herself for not working hard enough.

Wanting to think about it, she still bowed to her little companion. In Jia Yun's opinion, although the status of these three people was worse than Uncle Bao's, they were also of the same kind. Unexpectedly, they actually chatted and laughed with Xie Yuyan, and not only did they not express their words in their words,

There is contempt, but there is intimacy.

"This is what a scholar is..."

This made Jia Yun decide that her son would study no matter what in the future.

The imperial examination career is a classic example of transcending respectability and family background. Today I saw a real example.

Feng Ziying: "Brother Xie, your little courtyard is really simple enough. You only have a girl and a boy to serve you, so you don't feel tired. What if I didn't send a few smart people to work for you."

】

Wei Ruolan: "There are also a few passers-by in my house..."

Chen Yejun: "There are many unnecessary items in my room. If Brother Xie thinks..."

Xie Yu quickly waved his hand and said: "With the Tao, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. The most important thing for us now is the imperial examination and official career. It is enough to have a room to settle down. If you focus on external things, your mood will be disturbed."

"If you still consider me a good friend, don't mention this matter again."

"Qian Xue, urge Zhou Mom to serve the food!"

"Please try my chef's cooking skills. Although the ingredients are average, they are still delicious."

Feng Ziying: "That's fine..."

Jia Yun was even more envious. In fact, in his opinion, although the furnishings in Xie Yu's room were not luxurious, they could still be considered high-quality products.
