The old master deserved to be a grandmaster-level figure, and he spoke, and his tone was not the slightest abnormal: "Win Gu is happy to lose, and it is worth it to see this kind of method." You didn't learn it from a chess game, did you? ”

"The disciple came up with it himself, and the disciple didn't like to fight and fight, and he didn't like to compete with others, so he came up with this kind of play. It made the teacher laugh. ”

"Laughing, the old man is happy. From your chess, you can see your understanding. ”

Moreover, he did not dare to answer. If it weren't for the experience of twenty-five modern people, how could he come up with this kind of martial palace masaki?

Chen Musa didn't seem to care about losing, but was overjoyed to see this strange way of playing. He pondered for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: "You don't want to seek the truth of the imperial examination, but you want the void of the imperial examination." Right?"

Besides, I was stunned. This was really his idea, and the old master actually saw this thought from the chess move.

"I'm relieved, I was worried that you would not be able to resist the temptation of officialdom when you embarked on a career in the future, so you turned to study Yangming Psychology. But if you have to walk two paths on two legs, and you have both career and celebrity, you probably won't give up practicing medicine, right?"

Besides, he replied with some embarrassment: "Teacher Mingjian, the disciple is actually not interested in the official career, and there are ancestral rules in the family: future generations can practice medicine and farming, but they can't be officials." ”

"And why do you say this?" Chen Musa heard for the first time that someone had set a rule not to allow future generations to become officials, and in the Ming Dynasty, where officials were the standard and the imperial examination was a road, this was almost anti-social behavior.

Besides, I don't want to be vague anymore, if Chen Musa wants a jinshi, or even a disciple in the top three, he should quit as soon as possible. So he said:

"Even my father doesn't know why. The ancestral rules may be to let future generations specialize in medical skills and hang the pot to help the world. No matter what, the ancestral rules must be followed. It is the path of the imperial examination for disciples, and it can only go to the lifting of people. ”

The Jinshi examination is called the Hui Examination, which is commonly known as the entrance examination in Beijing, and it is the whole country that gathers in Beijing and is presided over by the Ministry of Rites.

The examination has to go through an examination presided over by the emperor himself, because of entering the palace hall, it is called the palace examination, and the first three places in the palace examination are listed on a list, called the first class, and there are only three people, champion, list, and flower.

The merit of these three people is called the Best-in-Chief. It means that although you are admitted by ability, but you are selected by the emperor, you can only be praised.

Xiao Li Feidao Li Xunhuan is known as the three grandchildren and grandchildren, which refers to the third place in the middle hall examination for the three generations of grandchildren.

Below the fourth place is the second grade. The name of the head of the second class is passed on, which is also amazing. If you compare the Jinshi exam to an Olympic competition, the Jinshi exam is the final, there are four medals, gold, silver, bronze and iron, and the rest can only be participants, and there are no medals.

But all the extraordinary people who are qualified to enter the finals are all talented people who were written by the emperor himself, so Jinshi is known as the protégé of the Son of Heaven, and the master is the emperor himself.

Of course, this is just a name, in fact, no one dares to call the emperor a teacher. The president of the exam, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the room master who read the papers, these people are the real seat teachers and room masters of Jinshi.

The fame of the Jinshi on the second-class list is to give the Jinshi background, and take several names. There is no fixed number of places per year, and places are usually allocated according to provinces, and admission is not entirely based on merit.

Then there are a number of top three, and this list is called Tongjinshi origin. It seems that there is only one more bronze word, and the value is very different.

The literal interpretation of this is that although he is not from a Jinshi background, he is from the same background as a Jinshi and enjoys the same treatment. So later, some people changed this same to copper, which was called copper jinshi.

Therefore, the first class is naturally the gold jinshi, and the second class is the silver jinshi. Although this is a kind of sadistic appellation, it is also true.

The first three will be assigned to various palaces and even prince's mansions as teachers, and they will be the teachers of the Son of Heaven in the future, at least the teachers of the princes, and normally speaking, within twenty years, they can be among the six scholars, cabinet scholars, that is, prime ministers.

And the chance of the second grade copper jinshi entering the phase cannot be said to be none, but it is slim.

Most of the candidates have relied on the mandate of heaven, and being the prime minister can only be said to be pure destiny. And the first and third are almost the target of the prime minister, and it is only a matter of time before he will take the throne.

"No one asks about the cold window for ten years, and once you become famous, the world knows it", the imperial examination is so tempting.

By the way, Pu Songling hates Yijia Jinshi the most, for unknown reasons. In the story of Liaozhai, almost all the confused officials were designated by him as being born as a first-class jinshi, and it is unknown whether it is due to the psychology of sour grapes.

"Well, it's good not to be an official, which is exactly what the old man wants. The old man is too lazy to be an official, last time the emperor recruited me to go to Beijing and kept my official position, but I resolutely refused to obey, the emperor was merciful and let me come back. I didn't want to get the title of Zhengjun, which was a big disappointment to my original intention. ”

After that, the old master's heart lit up, and his worries disappeared.

He was originally worried that such a talented person would inevitably have a desire for a career, and in order to be promoted in the future, he might succumb to those in power who were born in Yang Ming Xinxue, and even join the other party's camp.

What's more, the more the old master looks at it, the more pleasing it becomes, and he feels that this disciple is simply specially created by God for himself, and he can't find it even with a lantern. From now on, it will be up to him to pass his own test.

Chen Musa suddenly had a hunch: besides, he will definitely pass those levels smoothly, and he will also reach his ultimate goal. He is the heir to his own mantle.

At the same time, he hid in the secret room, not really afraid to see his obedient niece, but to take the opportunity to create an opportunity for the two of them to be alone.

There is still a hidden meaning in his heart, but now the time has not come, and it is inconvenient to say it.

Seeing the first meeting between the two, it is difficult to say how it will develop in the future, but this meeting was still particularly successful, far higher than his expectations.

Perhaps the ancestor Bai Shagong has a spirit in the sky and blesses himself with everything he wants. The Chen faction has been in decline for many years, and now there is really hope for revival again?

Thinking of this, his heart stirred, but fortunately, when he calmed down and arrived home, no matter what happened in his heart, his face was still the expression of the kind elder, and he couldn't see any change.

Chen Musa feels that the conditions for implementing the plan are basically ripe.

He's going to make a move.

And they are ignorant. After playing chess, he took his leave and went home.

Along the way, Chen Mingyi was the girl named Pomegranate, and her face was always swaying in front of her eyes, lingering.

Thinking back to her rebellious words, I couldn't help but be happy. If she was beautiful alone, she wouldn't have left such a deep impression on him, but her style was different, and those words that were purely heretical in the Ming Dynasty were deeply attracted.

No wonder the old master was snubbed, couldn't he have been scared away by the idea of this tricky little witch?

When I returned home, I saw my father sitting in the hall, eating tea and talking with someone. Take a closer look, that person is Zhou Dingcheng. Today's Zhou Dingcheng is very serious, not crazy at all.

"Lord Zhou, I'm sorry, I haven't started painting yet, you won't come to collect debts, right? After a bow, he said with a smile.

"Where, I'm just coming to take a look, I heard that Master Lian and Old Master Chen have come to the door, and my eldest brother has also sent someone to give gifts, I won't come again, wouldn't it seem too big." ”

Zhou Dingcheng said with a smile, "There is no hurry in the matter of calligraphy and painting, I still have to be in Suzhou for a while, you just have to paint slowly, and don't call me an adult, I can't afford it." ”

"That's what the words are. Guo Zhong took over and said, "Brother Zhou is a celebrity in the imperial court, why can't an adult be an adult." ”

"Brother, most people don't know, you must know that we, the Chinese calligraphers, are actually calligraphers and painters, not even real officials. Not to mention that it is a celebrity, the adults in the court respect us more, just to see the emperor's face. Not to mention that he is a big living person, even if the cats and dogs raised by the emperor run out, everyone has to be gods and Buddhas, right? ”

Zhou Dingcheng is quick to speak and tell the truth in one word. Besides, father and son looked at each other and smiled.

"However, there are also affordable places in Chinese books, the most important thing is to have the opportunity to see the collection of paintings and calligraphy in Ouchi, which is the accumulation of several generations of this dynasty, how can the folk scholars have this blessing? If it were not for this, why would I have to be subject to the rules of the imperial court for a few taels of silver, and wouldn't it be refreshing to play freely in the rivers and lakes? With a pen in hand, I can't go without food and clothing wherever I go. ”

"Brother Zhou's words are extremely true, besides, you learn a little. Guo Zhong smiled.

Zhou Dingcheng came to his senses, and then said: "I talk about people when I meet people, and I talk nonsense when I talk about ghosts, don't you just talk about this now? It's not that I flatter me in person, and my brother and son are all honest people, and I can still have half a sentence." ”

Guo Zhong nodded and replied: "Truth is the best for reality, the fellowship of people, and the acquaintance of each other, is a real word." ”

Zhou Dingcheng arched his hand to Zhong Zhong, turned his head to the situation and said: "Boy, I don't talk politely to you, I don't play false, Master Lian and Old Master Chen have promised you all kinds of benefits, and they can do it."

"I can be shallow, I can't promise you anything, I heard Brother Guo say, you will still practice medicine for a living in the future, if you really want to walk in the capital or even too many hospitals in the future, I will give you a walk.

"You just want to go into the palace to see calligraphy and painting, I can do it!"

"Senior Zhou, didn't we say okay, regardless of each other. What do you say all this for?" said with a grin.

In front of his father and outsiders, he still had to pretend to be beneficial, standing on his father's left side, and couldn't speak without asking.

"Ahh I'm still talking nonsense. Zhou Dingcheng was overjoyed, and in an instant, he felt that something was wrong, and looked at it and said, "Boy, don't you want to set me up?"

Besides, he said with a smile: "Senior Zhou, if you are afraid of being tricked by me, hide it first, don't let me know, I said it, no distinction between each other." ”

"Well, I'm still stuck with you. Zhou Dingcheng said loudly, but he felt very happy, and felt that the relationship with the situation was a little closer than Lian Daning and Chen Musa.

"Laugh and talk, laugh and talk. Guo Zhong hurriedly interjected.

"Brother Guo, this is not a joke, I am serious, he will ...... in the future"

He pointed to the situation, "It's like a person with me, his business is my business, and when something comes to the end, even if the knife is pressed to the neck, I won't frown." ”

"Brother Zhou values children so much, naturally it is better, thank you below. The bell stood up and waved it.

"No, don't be polite, I'm impatient with this. After he returned the salute, he said to the situation: "Boy, what are your drawings and brushwork?"

"It's all yours, I promise. Besides, Masse said.

"Deal. Zhou Dingcheng slapped the table case, and his heart was very happy.

Although it was almost a gambling oath, Zhou Dingcheng actually had a plan in his heart.
