"If you can be named on the gold list in this subject, you will still be a young talent praised by everyone."

Master Shen took a sip of tea and asked slowly: "Fourth, don't mention these things, just say that they are in the hearts of the fourth brothers and sisters...... Do you put yourself in your shoes, no matter what happened at the beginning, is she willing to marry someone who has no interest in other places, or is she willing to marry a young talent who became a jinshi at a young age? ”

The thirty-year-old Jinshi can definitely be called a young talent.

"You must know that many eunuchs in the capital are happy to marry their daughters to the new imperial examination and the new scientific examination. In ancient times, this will leave a lot of beautiful talk of 'catching sons-in-law under the list'. Therefore, when the fourth brother and sister married you, no matter what she thought in her heart, whether she had any other inside information...... In the eyes of outsiders, it is appropriate for her to marry you, a ten-year-old and less than twenty-year-old new imperial examination. ”

The Shen family is also a big family with a heritage and history, not those squires with a shallow foundation.

The Chen family married, and the person he married was a young man, and there was no shame in saying it.

Fourth Master Shen was stunned.

He had never thought of it like this. He has always felt that Chen was extremely aggrieved and embarrassed to marry her. That's why she has never mentioned a word about the capital for so many years.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that he was not as unbearable as he thought.

The marriage that was hastily decided back then was helpless, but there was not much to be picked. It is also fitting that he marries her, and that she marries him, and that he is well praised by the world.

"Big, big brother,"

Because he was too shocked, Fourth Master Shen stammered a little, and the expression on his face was extremely strange. He stood up, straightened his head with difficulty, and asked Master Shen, "You, why didn't you say that before?" ”

If he had known this, if he had realized this......

Fourth Master Shen bit his lip, and somehow, there was some blurry water in front of him.

"Back then, your eldest brother felt that you still needed to sharpen your knowledge to get one step closer. Moreover, the third child is a few years older than you, so you have to let him try one subject first. Mrs. Shen opened her mouth to explain for Master Shen: "You also know that the third brother loves face. ”

"You press for a few years, sharpen yourself, and then enter the examination room, and you can rank higher."

Even if he is five or six years older, Shen Chongyan, the third master, is not as good as Shen Chongyan in reading and writing, but he is not as good as Shen Si. In the first subject, Shen Si is ranked in the top ten, while Shen San is in more than 50. This made Shen Chongyan, who has always loved face, feel embarrassed in his heart, as soon as the Shen brothers decided to be born, they both won such a happy event, and he often pulled his face and didn't see a smile.

In the spring of the following year, before the entrance examination, Shen Si met the Chen family, and he had no intention of taking the imperial examination.

Master Shen weighed it, so he didn't say anything, married back to the Chen family for Shen Si, and watched Shen Si live a small life happily. Three years and three years, Lord Shen watched Shen Si focus on Chen, and he couldn't think of anything else at all, and his heart was not without anger and anxiety. But when it was mentioned several times, Master Shen Si didn't take it seriously.

"In addition, it coincides with the battle for the heir, and the capital is not so peaceful, I don't think it's time for you to go out, so I didn't say much. Of course, the main reason is that it is your age, and it is still delayed for a few years. Master Shen added.

Of course, Lord Shen looked coldly at the performance of Shen Si Ye in the past few years, and was even more disappointed, feeling that it was not interesting to force him to go to the imperial examination and be resisted, plus it has only been more than 50 years since the founding of the country, Shen pursues a conservative policy, and is unwilling to take the risk of coming out early, originally thought that it was almost enough to have Shen San Master Shen Chongmo in front, and it was not too late to plan slowly in the future, so he never said too much to Shen Si Ye.

But what Master Shen San said in his letter was very reasonable, and he had to re-evaluate it.

If Fourth Master Shen doesn't come to him, he will send someone to call him over.

"There is a misunderstanding in the past, and you have been stumbling for the past few years, I am afraid that the Chen family has been regarded as a person with no ambitions in his heart, and if he can't see you, how can he give you a good face?" Master Shen said slowly: "You are so concerned about the Chen family, but you can't even guess half of her thoughts, it's really an elm head!" ”

"Women in the world, who doesn't want their husband to be a capable person! She is an official eunuch and scholar, would she like an idler who has nothing to do in a mountain village! You are not a great Confucian master, do you really think that you are a noble hermit! ”

"Tell me, how the Chen family gives you a good face!"

"Such a simple truth, why can't you always figure it out! What a stupidity! ”

Master Shen knew his youngest brother very well. He knew very well that at this moment, it was better to say that Mrs. Shen Si had more to say about Mrs. Shen's expectations for Master Shen Si.

Sure enough, Shen Si's heart was shaken, and after a little thought, he said, "I thought about it before." I will reply to the third brother, I will participate in this spring. He was also asked to arrange scientific expeditions on his behalf. ”

"If only you wanted to figure it out." Master Shen smiled with relief and patted Fourth Master Shen on the shoulder.

Fourth Master Shen had a resolution in his heart, and quickly said goodbye and left.

After he left, Master Shen opened a copy of "Historical Records" on the desk, took out an envelope from it, took out a thin piece of stationery, and looked at it repeatedly for a while before putting it down and sighing heavily.

"Master......" Mrs. Shen was a little eager to speak.

Master Shen waved his hand and stopped Mrs. Shen's words: "It has been more than 50 years since the founding of the country...... When today's son has the appearance of a bright monarch, the country is rich and the people are already strong. This land south of the Yangtze River has been prosperous since ancient times, and there has never been a shortage of people who can be officials. If Shen is not active, he is afraid of ......"

The third letter said that after he entered Beijing, he went to the Mingyi Marquis Mansion to pay a visit, and he didn't see anyone several times. All the worship posts were also sunk into the sea. ”

When they migrated, the Shen family and the Deng family traveled together and helped each other to walk safely to the foot of the Yi Mountain. The ancestors of the two families had a good relationship, and they were once in-laws.

But before Yijiazi, the Deng clan defected to Taizu, and there was little contact after that.

After so many years, the elders who had friendships and connections have long passed away, and now the Zheng clan has long since migrated from Yishan and left no one behind...... It is also reasonable for the Marquis of Mingyi to ignore Master Shen San's prayers.

"In addition, in addition to the Deng family, who is more polite, the Wang family is also very cold."

Obviously, the Deng family is because of Mrs. Deng's face.

Mrs. Deng is the daughter of the Deng family's long house.

The situation of Master Shen San deeply touched Lord Shen, who has always been very conservative.

"It's not hard to accept that people are indifferent." Master Shen couldn't help but sigh faintly, and said, "What I'm worried about is that if the Shen clan shrinks again, the marriage of the Shen clan will become a problem. ”

Except for the Zheng family, who has no friendship for a long time...... The surnames Deng and Wang had many choices in the capital, but the Shen family had no other choice.

Could it be that even the descendants can only marry rich merchants!

Not to mention anything else, wealthy merchants have limited knowledge and insight, not to mention the leading clansmen, even the descendants will be inferior to the next generation!

You also need to be talented to read!

If you are a fool, no matter how good the conditions are, it is useless!

Look, among the juniors, the third child, Shen Chongyan and Chen's two sons and daughters, are the most talented, this is the most prominent proof!

One generation is not as good as the next, but I am afraid that after a few generations, the best children in the clan will even have difficulty in showing off their talents, so the Shen family ......

Master Shen Chongshan didn't dare to think deeply.

But he deeply understands that now, it is time for the Shen family to make a cornerstone in the officialdom. Obviously, Shen San's master, Shen Chongmo, was afraid that he would not be able to take on this important responsibility.

And Shen Si Master Shen Chongyan is more likely. Moreover, no matter what the official career of Shen Si Master will be in the future, if he goes out, he will be able to pave a little more road, and the descendants of the Shen family will be able to go further in the future.
