Sheng Sleeping Crane returned to the Sheng family in the late spring and early summer of the 30th year of Xuanjing, and after the Sheng clan opened the ancestral hall on Chinese New Year's Eve that year, it was officially included in the genealogy, and the age order tooth was the eldest son, and since then the ranking of his peers has moved backwards. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xuanjing's 31st year of the hospital examination, the county government and the three examinations are the first of the case, although it is only a small three yuan, but Sheng Lanci has not obtained it that year - Sheng Lanci was on the gold list at the age of 20, but the hospital examination, the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination have not won the championship.

After Sheng Sleeping Crane's first victory, the whole Sheng Mansion was overjoyed.

Sheng Lanci even handed over all the business to Feng and Sheng Fu for the time being, and dedicated a year of hard work to carefully guide Sheng Sleeping Crane's homework.

And Sheng Sleeping Crane did not live up to the expectations of the Sheng family, and won the Xie Yuan again in the township test in the autumn of Xuanjing's thirty-second year!

So much so that the county guard, who was originally not promoted for two years because of the death of the Bai family, and thus had some resentment against the Sheng family, took the initiative to show favor to Sheng Lan, and recommended his youngest daughter who was only twelve years old - in fact, Nanfeng County was not prosperous because of the way of businessmen, and the style of writing was not prosperous, and the local Xie Yuan was often different from those talents in the big counties.

At the level of Sheng Lanci, it has been a few decades.

The county guards the ancestral hometown of Jiangnan, and the Junjie who fought in the big county of the real scientific examination, the huge Nanfeng County, except for the twenty-year-old Sheng Lanci who had entered the Hanlin and was filial piety, he couldn't look down on any of them.

With such a vision, when a nineteen-year-old Xie Yuan is idle, the county guard will not move the idea of getting married, but it is because Sheng Sleeping Crane's article really surprised him: "Dare to ask Brother Xinzhang, before Ling Lang recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, which family did he worship in?" The foolish brother Guan Linglang's article for the exam this time is strategic, and the clouds are full of paper, but it is not like the elder brother, and he is so old that it is spicy, and he faintly teaches the foolish brother to think of the old work of Duke Huan that he read a few years ago! Brother Xinzhang forgave the foolish brother and said bluntly: Up and down Nanfeng County, I'm afraid that no one can teach such talents! ”

It is not surprising that the county guard thinks this, since Sheng Sleeping Crane is Sheng Lanci's only male heir, even if he is raised outside, Sheng Lanci has no reason to treat him badly - maybe it is because he studied hard under a certain family, so he dragged him to the age of seventeen to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors?

After all, although Sheng Lanci has been in Nanfeng County for more than 20 years, he is still a person who has been mixed in the Hanlin Academy, and the ancestors of the Sheng family are not poor.

At that time, it is possible to know someone or your relatives and friends, and try to get the outer room to worship under everyone's door.

However, Sheng Lanci categorically denied this possibility: "The dog has been raised in Zhuangzi since he was a child, and the previous teacher was just an old boy, and he also saw that he still had some talent, and he couldn't stop urging, so he took him back to the house to teach, and now he looks at it and is still angry!" ”

"That's the natural aptitude is extraordinary!" Of course, the county guard didn't believe half a word about Sheng Lanci's "clumsy Jing can't stop urging" - the county guard was born in a big family, although he was a man, he didn't know the private affairs of the Hou Zhai, in his opinion, Feng didn't raise Sheng Sleeping Crane in front of him when he had no children, but he didn't enter the door until he was seventeen years old, this attitude must be opposed, I am afraid that Sheng Lanci saw that it was not a matter of having no children under his knees, so he made Feng nod his head, but for the sake of the knotted love, he deliberately said so to cover Feng's face.

Thinking of this, the county guard was a little hesitant to marry the Sheng family, if the Feng family didn't like Sheng Sleeping Crane, how could he be good to his daughter-in-law? 's daughter was also pampered, and she fell into the hands of a mother-in-law who had no blood relationship with her husband and had malicious intentions, and she knew that life would not be too easy.

The key is to look at Sheng Lanci's attitude, even if the outer room is so angry that he has repeatedly glorified the lintel for the Sheng family, but he has always favored his wife and daughter, and it is really difficult to say whether he will help his daughter speak fairly - although the county guard cherishes Sheng Sleeping Crane's talent, after all, he is a child of the Jiangnan clan, and he has seen too many young junjies, but he doesn't feel that he has to marry his daughter to him.

Thinking like this, the county guard no longer continued to mention the matter of the two families, and secretly said that if Sheng Lan was interested and took the initiative to ask for each other, he would inevitably take the initiative to promise to treat his daughter well, so that even if the Feng family treats his daughter badly in the future, Sheng Lan will be hindered by the promise, and it is not good to ignore it, and let his wife bully his daughter-in-law; If Sheng Lan didn't mention this matter, obviously she didn't want to marry her own family, then she would be a good pearl in her palm, and there was no need to surrender her identity and rush to Sheng's house.

is to speak with the talent of only choosing the sleeping crane, "Such a unicorn is the envy of the real teaching!" ”

Sheng Lan resigned humbly for her son, and praised the son of the county guard for his immeasurable future, and then made a troubled appearance, and said: "Although he has taken the Xie Yuan exam now, the virtuous brother also knows that my Xie Yuan of Nanfeng County will inevitably be lost to everyone if he takes it to Jiangnan and Shudi!" He thought that he had enough knowledge, so he planned to pack his bags, take advantage of the fact that it was not yet winter, set sail north, and went to Chang'an to try for the next year's meeting - his father was getting older, and he had always spoiled his grandchildren, not only did he say that he was frivolous, but he was very much in favor! My father is the master of this matter, and the foolish brother is not very easy to talk about. It's just that it's going to be difficult, such as crossing a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, and I don't know how this bad guy will come back next year? ”

When the county guard heard this, he frowned slightly, and he didn't approve of it: "If Xie Yuan, who is in the previous subject, wants to be on the list, the foolish brother is too lazy to persuade - he is the best in the exam, and if he can't be in the right to be a spectator, there is nothing." But Ling Lang's words, the foolish brother also felt that he should not end up next year, otherwise it would be too wasteful! ”

This is not that the county guard is afraid that Sheng Sleeping Crane will not be able to pass the exam, on the contrary, it is afraid that Sheng Sleeping Crane will be admitted - this is of course not that the county guard wants to pit Sheng Sleeping Crane, but at this time for young talents, especially outstanding young talents, a kind of default "love": since he is young, he is already very hot in learning and even attainments, and he is named on the gold list early, and he wastes his mental energy and qualifications on Vanity Fair, which is a waste! It's better to continue your studies while you're young and become an official after becoming a generation of Confucians!

After all, there is a list of Jinshi in three years, and occasionally Enke will be added, but how many years does it take for a Confucian to come out?

If Sheng Sleeping Crane revealed such a thought before participating in the government examination, the county guard would even discuss with Sheng Lan and deliberately depose him, lest he be too ambitious and waste his outstanding talent and youth given by God!

Sheng Lanci knows everything about Shilinzhong, and he specially mentioned this matter today, just for Sheng Sleeping Crane's future consideration, and immediately said when he heard the words: "Originally, the foolish brother also persuaded him like this, but that Bu Xiaozi said that Nanfeng County's literary style is not prosperous, and in addition to asking the foolish brother for homework on weekdays, even if he wants to find someone of the same age to discuss his homework, he can't!" Therefore, it is better to take advantage of the fact that my father and foolish brother are still in the prime of life, and do not need him to serve day and night, and travel to Chang'an. If he wins the list, he will try to be admitted to the Hanlin Academy, in order to get closer to the water and increase his knowledge. ”

"Oh?" Sure enough, when the county guard heard this, his expression moved, and after thinking for a moment, he also agreed, "In this way, Brother Xinzhang said that Ling Lang was frivolous, but it may not be!" Based on Linglang's article, the junior high school student in the county really can't find someone who can match him - you and I have our own responsibilities, and there are not many places to teach him, he is so studious, it's no wonder that he longs for Chang'an! ”

But I regretted it, "Actually, if you want to make friends with peers, you can go to Jiangnan!" Why don't you repair a book by a foolish brother and make him go to the south of the Yangtze River? Our family still has some favors in Jiangnan, and Ling Lang is now a student of his foolish brother, and he goes to his own home. ”

The county guard said this, firstly, he sincerely suggested that Sheng Sleeping Crane go to Jiangnan; Second, he is still a little reluctant to marry the Sheng family: in the current opinion of the county guard, Sheng Sleeping Crane's talent may not be unique, but it must be rare to have such a talent and such a young and outstanding appearance.

So although he saw that Sheng Lanci did not mean to allow marriage, he still tried tactfully.

"Originally, the foolish brother also mentioned Jiangnan, but the unscrupulous son didn't know where to hear the news, saying that Ningwei Hou Shizi Mingke intended to end, but he insisted on going - the little girl heard the news and persuaded him several times, but he still refused to listen, and the father connived at his grandchildren, and stood on his side again and again, and if he continued, the father would be angry, and the foolish brother was worried about his father's health, so he didn't dare to say it again." Sheng Lanci looked embarrassed when she said this, as if she really had a headache for Mrs. Sheng to spoil her grandson, but the county guard understood that this was a hint that he repeatedly refused to be his son and daughter.

Of course, the county guard was not very happy in his heart, and his tone faded: "This son is not only smart and agile, but also friendly and fraternal, no wonder Ling Zun is conniving, he has changed his family, and he has such an excellent grandson under his knees, I am afraid that he will be spoiled even more!" ”

- Xu Baomo took Sheng Weiqiao's matter, the county guard knew about it at the beginning of the year, the reason was that he wanted to tell Sheng Weiqiao to his nephew, Sheng Lanci told him about it, saying that his daughter's first love failed, her emotional injury was serious, and she had not been able to come out, which would make her really dare not mention the marriage, because he didn't dare to delay the youth of the nephew of the county guard, so he could only refuse.

Of course, this is Sheng Lanci's deception of the county guard in order not to hurt the peace, Sheng Weiqiao has to remember Xu Baomo until now, Sheng Lanci has already started to kill people, and will let Xu Baomo jump around in the backyard of Xu's Mansion to go crazy Yu Mingke wants to be with Sheng Sleeping Crane?

The main reason is that Sheng Lanci heard that although the nephew of the county guard is both talented and good-looking, and his conduct is passable in the eyes of ordinary people, he will occasionally go to the Goolan flower boat with his companions to have a good time, and he has a slight reputation among the famous prostitutes in Jiangnan.

What's more, the county guard's family is a big family, and a big family means tight rules and great power, although Sheng Lanci thinks that he is not a small family, he is also very powerful, and he thinks that it is still very difficult to deal with the huge clan, so where is he willing to allow his daughter to go over?

But he has been friends with the county guard for many years, and there are interests in it, and a direct refusal will inevitably make the county guard feel embarrassed, and he can only pull Xu Baomo out of the top cylinder.

Now take advantage of the situation to pave the way for Sheng Sleeping Crane to participate in the next year's meeting, and think that in the future, even if someone thoroughly investigates the details of Sheng Sleeping Crane, he will not doubt too much why he did not stop him from Lianjie Xingbang - in fact, according to Sheng Lanci's own thoughts, he also thinks that Sheng Sleeping Crane can be pressed after passing the examination, and after improving his reputation and knowledge, he will not only be more secure, but also have a broader future.

You must know that since the past dynasties, Jinshi is easy to kill, but Confucianism is difficult to move. After Huan Guanlan disappeared back then, why did things make such a big fuss, and the imperial court was shaken for months?

This is not only because Huan Guanlan is an auxiliary minister left by the first emperor, and not only because his disappearance is related to the two favorite concubines, the most important thing is that Huan Guanlan is recognized as a great Confucian!

Over the decades, there have been many people who have consulted him, performed disciple ceremonies, officially entered his name, and admired his learning!

Although Huan Guanlan had already returned to his hometown when he disappeared, and none of his children and grandchildren were in high positions, these people all over the world were reasonable, how could they care?

Therefore, if there is a great Confucian in the family, it can be said that the benefits are endless, and it is not a problem to leave a name in history.

And the Sheng family is now in a very good situation in the local area, and it is not the kind of person who is in a ruined family, and urgently needs the title of the gold list of children to revitalize the family's reputation, and only takes immediate benefits. At the age of the sleeping crane, even if he raises in Nanfeng County for ten years and then becomes a leader, he is still in the prime of life.

Helplessly, Sheng Sleeping Crane was in a hurry to go to Chang'an, and Sheng Lan tried several times to persuade him to no avail, so he could only compromise after consideration.

He specially came to the county guard today, and it was just an introduction to the endorsement of Sheng Sleeping Crane's possible future attack of "quick success and greed for power", mainly to inquire about the court movements from the county guard, and to make a reference for Sheng Sleeping Crane's treatment of people after he went to Chang'an.

Of course, because of the resignation of his children's relatives, this inquiry was much more difficult than he expected before he came - fortunately, the county guard was from a big family, and his mind was not too narrow-minded, and he was an official in Nanfeng County, so he also needed the cooperation of the Sheng family, so after Sheng Lanci hinted that he would give certain benefits as reparation, he also slowed down his expression, and told him a lot of news that was not mentioned in the newspaper and that the county guard's personal relationship had only been heard.

After such a long talk, Sheng Lanci was really not optimistic about the future of Mingke Jinshi, but thinking of Sheng Shenghe's resolute attitude in this matter, he couldn't help pinching his eyebrows and felt a headache.

However, after returning to the Sheng Mansion on this day, Sheng Lanci, who was tired, had not had time to go back to the room to change clothes, and the Feng family, who came up, frowned, and told him something troublesome: "The little sister sent a message, saying that she plans to return to Ning with her second son!" ”
