Lin Fangming was silent, and instructed Wang Shanli to clean up the dishes, chopsticks, and cups, and carry Ai Xiaoya, who was already asleep, back to the house.In the dim light, Ai Xiaoya slept sweetly, Lin Fangming sat at the head of the bed, gently stroked her eyebrows, and said with a wry smile: What a stupid fox fairy, how can anything fly higher, we are all stupid birds who have not yet found the direction, and we are just stupid birds who are tossing blindly.Chapter 42 Shang Daoyu carefully observed his little brother for half a month, and found that he had become different since he came back from Hangzhou, although he tried his best to hide it, but as a father, he could see at a glance that even one or two pieces of meat were missing, not to mention others.I used to go to the front yard every day to find Xiao Wu to compete in kung fu, and I dressed up as a man when I had nothing to do, and walked around the capital, but now I don't go, do you suddenly realize that there is a difference between brother and man?
Shang Daoyu found Jiang Shiwu and asked them about their lives in Hangzhou, from food and clothing to housing and transportation, and finally summed up three points from his words: First, Chen Kai and Shang Wanjun love to play together and ignore them.Second, the eldest cousin and a few of their scholars reported to the group to bully them.Third, in the end, it is still Brother Lin who is righteous, if it weren't for him, he and Xiaoyun would have been bullied by his cousin.It was the first time that Shang Daoyu knew that his son could almost be bullied, and Tan Er deserved to be the future heir of the businessman.After letting his family go to the side to play, Shang Daoyu could vaguely guess some reason, but he was not sure yet, so he didn't say much, but he looked at his little brother every day, either writing articles in the study, or practicing guns in the yard, how could he not feel distressed as a father.In fact, if Xiaoyun really came to him, crying and saying that he didn't want to, not to mention that it was just a verbal marriage contract, even if he really got married, he would be able to push it for him even if he offended the two brothers and sisters of the Jiang family, and he didn't have to care about any reputation, there was a father who worked with Yushi twice in three days, and Wu'an Houfu didn't have a good reputation in the eyes of literati.But after pushing this, there is the next one, he must let Xiaoyun recognize what he wants, most little brothers can't choose their own life, but you can choose what attitude to face life.Whether it is a husband or a child after getting married, or marrying a woman after the Beijing camp, you must know what you really want first.It is said that the wealthy family has no selfish affairs, and there are a few scholars living in Wu'an Houfu, and everyone who should know it will know in a few days.On the twenty-second day of the first month, the first big court meeting of the new year, a group of officials arrived at the palace early, the court rooms on both sides of the noon gate square are divided into sizes, and there are tea and snacks waiting in the small court room, and only the civil and military bigwigs who can sit in it are above the second grade.Seeing that there was still a period of time before the court meeting, the governor of the five armies, the governor of the left capital, and the British prince Shen Huang smiled and joked with Jiang Jun: Bowei, I heard that you have tied up a few scholars in the mansion, and one of them is still a descendant of Lin Yushi, what's the matter?
You are not only targeting the imperial history now, but also the younger generations of others.Jiang Jun naturally knew that the Metropolitan Governor was mentioning himself, if he didn't explain it clearly, maybe there would really be an imperial history at the court meeting to talk about it.Hurriedly explained: There are indeed three descendants in the Xiaguan Mansion, one is the nephew of my father-in-law's family, one is the nephew of my brother's family, and the other is the apprentice grandson of my father-in-law, and he is also the direct descendant of Lin Yushi.Then he looked meaningfully at the two imperial histories of the Inspectorate, and said with emotion: Lin Yushi is a benevolent and brave person, and the lower officials admire it tightly, so they naturally want to take care of their descendants.Besides, the lower officials are not aimed at the imperial history, but only for those who do not care about national affairs and people's livelihood, and will learn from the long-tongued woman and focus on the privacy of the inner curtains.Shen Huang stopped caring after seeing that he made it clear, and as for how the group of imperial historians felt aggrieved after listening to his words, it was no longer in his consideration.The left and right sides of the Imperial Court were all unhappy, but Lin Boli was a model of the imperial history, no matter what they said, it was not appropriate, so they endured it and did not speak, so that the people who wanted to see the excitement sighed in their hearts in disappointment.Dong Ge's old face was white and bearded, his face was elegant and gentle, and he sighed at this time: The descendants of Lin Yushi, I don't know if there is the demeanor of an ancestor?
I think that at the beginning, when Lin Yushi sounded the drum, the old man had not yet been born, and now he is about to know the destiny of heaven, which is really urging people to get old.After listening to him, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, who was wearing a pair of pants with him, said with a smile: Why is the elder still injured, there are more than a dozen people in our room, and the elder is already young, if you are like this, how about letting other older colleagues be good.Guan Ge Lao squinted and sipped his tea, and didn't answer like everyone else, but out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the oldest colleague in the courtroom, the real old man Kong Ge Lao, who was almost seventy.Kong Ge Lao raised his drooping eyelids, stroked his silver beard, and sighed slowly: Yes, time flies so fast, now that I think about it, when I followed the first emperor and Lord Shang to attack Meng Nu one after another, it seemed to be yesterday, but I didn't expect to be able to fight.After thinking about it, he reacted again, and pretended to sigh: Hey, I'm getting older, and my memory is not good, what are you doing with Brother Dong, you should be in Nanjing at the time, right?
It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to get to the demeanor of Lord Shang when he killed the enemy.Li Gelao, who has been an adult and muddy, thought that these Zinans would come to tease if they had nothing to do, and they deserved to be slapped in the face directly.A few Shangshu who didn't see the excitement of Wu'an Hou and the Imperial History of the Inspectorate just now, at this time, they drank tea with satisfaction, ate dim sum, and pretended to be indifferent.The military attachés were much more direct, and laughed indifferently, thinking that they were all frightened by the Mongnu to avoid the river, of course they couldn't see it.The Ministry of Rites Shangshu had a cold face, and despised it in his heart, this group of northerners, the scholars did not look like scholars, and Kong Lao'er was afraid that he had stayed with the martial artists for a long time, and he learned to be arrogant and domineering, and he left no room for speech, and he did not know how to be modest and tactful.Dong Ge Lao's face remained unchanged, he looked at the little eunuch who walked in, and asked gently: But the time has come?
The little eunuch also said respectfully: Yes, the Holy Lord has already started from the Qianqing Palace with all the princes, please move to the Taihe Hall to welcome the Holy Driver.Lin Fangxu and the others were naturally not tied up in the Wu'an Hou Mansion, the three of them were very free, and at this time Jiang Shiwu was arrested as a guide and went to the Zhejiang General Assembly Hall together.It stands to reason that if you become a lifter, even if you enter the circle of scholars, you can also get an official and a half-job, even if you don't want to enter the office, you can have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, and be respected.People who come to participate in the examination naturally don't want to just farm with peace of mind, and vulgar people want to soar, glorify their ancestors, and live a life like a top family valve, Zhong Ming Ding food; People who think they are noble want to enter the cabinet, show what they have learned in their chests, and contribute to the prosperity of the country and the people.In short, if you want to achieve the above goals, you must take the Jinshi examination.In order to fully adapt to the cold climate of the capital, Lin Fangxu and his group, most of the newly produced lifters in the seventh year of Jianwen, and the previous landing lifters, have already arrived in the capital at this time, preparing to participate in the triennial Ministry of Rites Examination and impact the last hurdle of the imperial examination.At this time, the judges of all provinces gathered in the capital, and there were probably more than 4,000 candidates, plus a number of attachés.One or two thousand people poured in at once, like Lin Fangxu and them, the number of people who have a place to borrow is a minority after all, and accommodation needs to be solved first.In the previous dynasties, most of them found inns to live in, and there were almost no private houses near the Gongyuan, and they were all hotels such as champion shops and jinshiya.After the first emperor ascended the throne, he re-registered and made a book, and the land deed and house deed of the previous dynasty were naturally not recognized, and the house where the master ran away was regarded as an ownerless property and was returned to the imperial court.The original owner thought that if he wanted to return his property, he would have to spend another money to buy it from the imperial court, but even so, there were still many places that were not sold, and the area around the Gongyuan was among them.After the Great Wei Dynasty unified the north and south, it set up two capitals and thirteen envoys across the country, including Beijing, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan, which were known as the five northern provinces; Nanjing, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang and Sichuan are known as the five central provinces; Guangdong, Fujian, Guangxi, Guizhou, and Yunnan are known as the five southern provinces.In the sixth year of Hongwu, the lifters from fifteen provinces poured into the capital, causing the inns to be full, and the prices in the capital soared for several months, which were several times that of usual, and many people from poor families could not even find a place to live.At the end of the sixth year of Hongwu, the first emperor ordered people to build 15 assembly halls in the front street of Gongyuan to provide free food and lodging for the children of various provinces.In the year of Dabi, everyone who has nothing to do with the exam has to move out to receive candidates and attachés, but the attachés are limited to two, and if there are more, they have to find other accommodations.In the first few years, the houses and food provided by the guild were relatively ordinary, and most of the well-to-do people still chose to find their own accommodation, but later with donations from officials of the same nationality or some wealthy gentry and wealthy businessmen, the conditions of the guild gradually improved.People love to earn long and short, sweet bean curd is delicious, or salted bean curd is delicious, which can make southerners and northerners quarrel, not to mention that fifteen conference halls gather together.Before the big competition, they had better accommodation conditions than which guild hall, or which guild cultural club did well, so as to prove which province had the best literary style and which province had rich people.It is even more terrible than the year, and the Wenhui is naturally more to be held, and the Hanlin Academy, those who are idle and planting grass Hanlin will be invited to attend the evaluation, the first two big exams, several older princes have attended, and everyone gathers together to guess whether the candidates are in or not, and what the final ranking is.Wen is not the first, plus many people will have a bias, before the exam, the halls have begun to quarrel with each other, do you think your Hangzhou prodigy brother can get the first place in the exam, I think I will be able to win the championship.In the largest guild hall on the front street of Gongyuan, the Jingshi Guild Hall, the three princes looked at the provincial juzi arguing downstairs, and said to Dong Kun who was standing beside him with a smile: Cousin, someone is competing with you for the first place.Dong Kun had Dong Ge's old signature gentleman's smile on his face, and said indifferently: There are so many talents in the world, it is too early to say that he will try his name, but this prodigy senior brother is said to be a descendant of Lin Yushi, but he can meet for a while.The third prince, Zhu Xianwen, raised his eyebrows and smiled, slandering in his heart, speaking lightly, he didn't care on the surface, but he even inquired about people's births.Chapter 43 Lin Fangxu naturally doesn't know yet, the previous life is not wrong, there are many talents in the world, even if there is no Lin Fangxu, he did not take the first place in the examination in his previous life, it can be seen that Dong Fuzun is still very self-aware.Lin Fangxu didn't know where the Shen Mao brothers lived, but it was not difficult to find them, and they could always be met when they went to the Zhejiang Guild Hall.Jiang Shiwu took the three of them to the front street of the Gongyuan, pointed to the front, and said: Look, the front is the Zhejiang General Assembly Hall, you can go in by yourself, they are all places where literati gather, and I, the old man, will not occupy the place.Without Xiaoyun by his side, Jiang Shiwu has a natural rejection of literati and places where literati stay, and the sentence he hates the most is that Xiucai meets a soldier, and he can't explain it reasonably, is this saying that being a soldier is unreasonable or what?
Compared with those literati who have a lotus tongue and hold the unity party, they are the disadvantaged groups who serve as soldiers.When Lin Fangxu and the others saw him finish speaking, they ran away as if there was a vicious dog chasing after him, Shang Tan shook his head and said helplessly: Xiao Wu and his uncle are really alike, as if they were born to have a grudge against scholars.Lin Fangxu thought to himself what kind of enmity Wu Anhou and the scholar could have?
The people who came over from the mountains of corpses and the sea of fire, where would they care about that little thing, but just for show.Xu Zhongkang pointed to the door of the hall and said with a smile: "Ah, isn't that Brother Shen and them?!
Lin Fangxu looked up and saw that Shen Mao's brothers were surrounded by a group of people and walked over, seeing them, Shen Mao said happily: I finally saw the three of you, if you don't come again, we are going to go to Wu'anhou Mansion to find you.Other Hangzhou interjected in the same year: The five sons of Hangzhou have finally gathered.Yes, when the time comes, let those Zibei people take a look at the demeanor of our Zhejiang literati.Those people in the north are too arrogant, and he is not the only one in the capital who has four talents.After Lin Fangxu listened, he was curious: We were busy with some personal matters, so we hurried over, listening to Darong's meaning, what did we miss out on interesting things?
Shen Jing clasped his hands and said in a cool tone: You have indeed missed a lot of things, whether it is an interesting thing or not, let's go, let's go to the hall and talk about it in detail.In the hall of the Zhejiang Guild Hall, Lin Fangxu sat in the middle, and there was a circle of Zhejiang lifters sitting around, most of them were new lifters who had taken the township test last year, and those who had participated in more than two meetings were generally relatively low-key.Shen Mao and the others were almost when they were almost there, and then they spoke: Dongsheng, you should know that each hall will compare the number and ranking of Jinshi in which province in the annual examination, and then the Ministry of Rites will use this to rank each guild, and the top five guild halls will have many awards from the imperial court.Lin Fangxu replied: I have indeed heard that this year's examination has not yet started, and I think that the conference halls seem to have begun to compete in private.Shen Mao sighed and said: Hey, the dispute over the hall, to put it bluntly, is still a dispute over regional literary style, during the Hongwu period, Zhejiang has always been the leader, but since the twelfth year of Hongwu, Dong Ge Lao went to the book, allowing Taixue students to participate in the imperial examination without returning to their ancestral hometown, Beiping came from behind, overpowering Sichuan, Nanjing, and Fujian, ranking second, and putting up a posture of competing with Zhejiang.In the same year, he couldn't hold his breath and said disdainfully: How can you have this ability in Beiping, and it is not the credit of Taixue to get the second, but every time you take the big exam, half of the Tai students who do well are also from Jiangnan and other places.Another year sighed: If these Jiangnan students return to their ancestral hometowns to take the exam, how many can you get in Beiping?
Lin Fangxu sneered: It's a pity that most of the students from Jiangnan are unwilling to go back to take the exam.Everyone thought about the hardships of passing five levels and killing six generals when they participated in the township test, and thought with affection: Yes, it's me, and I don't want to go back.This is like now, if a senior high school student in Zhejiang or Jiangsu has the opportunity to transfer his student status to Beijing, take the college entrance examination in Beijing, and fill in the volunteer in Beijing, would you be willing?
I guess you don't have to think about this question to have an answer.Lin Fangxu thought to himself, when Dong Ge Lao first went to school, he was obviously looking at students in the south, after all, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where there was a little surplus food at home, would send his son Lang to study and study literature, there were only about 100 places to lift people every year, and the competition was too fierce.When Dong Ge Lao first wrote the book, he was fiercely opposed by the northern officials of Kong Ge's faction, and he didn't know that the first emperor was too disappointed with the literary style of the north; still want to divide the various families in the south; It is also possible that it is just a pure belief that the place where the Son of Heaven sits must be a place of economic and cultural prosperity, and finally suppressed the northern officials and passed the letter of Dong Ge Lao.Shen Jing saw that everyone's topic was getting farther and farther, and reminded: Everyone, although Zhejiang has always been at the top of the list, but in recent years, Taixue has also produced a number of knowledgeable talents.Xu Zhongkang is essentially a person who loves to watch the excitement, and at this time he asked with interest: Oh, really?
Who are the four talents in Beijing?
When are they coming?
Shen Mao said with a smile: Zijian's question is interesting, as if he wishes for people to come, it should be tomorrow, when the Zhejiang Guild Hall holds a cultural meeting.Shang Tan continued: The four great talents in the capital, I have heard of them as brothers, they are all students of Taixue, and the first place is Dong Kun, the grandson of Dong Ge, and then Kong Jue, the grandson of Kong Ge, Su Zhao of Meizhou, Sichuan, and Wen Tianfeng of Ji'an, Jiangxi, are said to be outstanding literary talents, and their reputation in the capital is not small.Xu Zhongkang didn't care and said: Cut, in the end, it's not about seeing the real chapter under the pen and ink, what's the use of being famous.He started this, and then someone coaxed him to answer: That is, whether this is good or not still has to be written, and I will only know after comparison.Besides, they have the four talents of Beijing, and why do they have five sons in Zhejiang and Hangzhou.Shang Tan said modestly: You have won the award, this is the matter of the entire Zhejiang Guild Hall, and the five of us can't represent the entire Zhejiang students, so we still have to deal with it together.
