The term of office of the academic administrator is three years, and the term of office is from the end of the township examination to the end of the next township examination.

In this way, this year's rookie is the first batch of students after Xuezheng arrives. For the "head of the case" Shen Rui, since he was selected by Xuezheng himself, he naturally has an impression.

On the surface, this person has nothing to do with the Shen family and Shen Rui, but in fact, he is in officialdom and has connections everywhere, so how can he really have nothing to do with it?

This person is a fellow villager with the late former head of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Pu, and some distant relatives, Wang Pu is the same year as Yang Tinghe, a scholar of Zuochunfang University, and the two of them researched the baby kiss for Yang Shen, the son of the Yang family, and the queen of the Wang family.

It's just that there are not many people in Beijing who know the origin of the two families of Yang and Wang, just because Wang Pu is not in good health, he died of illness within a few years of entering the sixth department in the entrance examination, and his wife returned to his hometown with his children.

Xuezheng took Shen Rui as the "head of the case", and he did have the intention of forming a relationship with the Yang family.

Otherwise, the top ten articles on the red list of the college examination have their own strengths, and Shen Rui is not alone.

Although Xuezheng has selfish intentions, he will not discuss personal affairs with Shen Rui in front of everyone, looking like a dignified elder, watching a few scribes hairpins for the freshmen.

Although it is the end of summer and the flowers are blooming, the hairpin flowers are not seasonal flowers, but red silk flowers.

The scribe held the red tray, and the freshmen each had a silk flower, and the hairpin was on the side of the scarf.

It is said that it is a hairpin banquet, but it is more of a test, and the dishes and cold spells on the table are also good-looking, and it is not easy to eat enough.

Although there are also students at the other tables who dance in all directions regardless of their faces, the ten people here at the first table are obviously restrained, but they are just holding chopsticks.

For the wine on the table, except for the first glass for one person, no one is greedy for a glass.

Those who appeared with the politics of the classmates were also professors and teachers from various prefectures and counties in Beizhili, who came to pick up new disciples. After the hairpin feast, students from all over the country will meet the teachers and follow the students back to their hometowns to enroll.

When the banquet is over, there is still a drama behind, and Xuezheng takes all the freshmen to worship Confucius.

All rookie talents, starting from "epiphytes", they will be hung in the official schools of various prefectures and counties according to their different origins, and then divided into various levels of epiphytes, proliferation and epiphysia through the annual examination.

Although it is not popular to "catch a son-in-law under the list" nowadays, the hairpin banquet of the new members will still attract the attention of the local people, and the female relatives of small families will also come out to see the young talents with shyness and timidity.

It was lively and lively, and after a few hours, everyone was discouraged, and the various ceremonies ended.

As a native of Shuntianfu, Shen Rui ranked first in the college examination, and directly entered the official school of Shuntianfu as an "epistudent". He Taizhi, who ranked lower, was hung under the name of Daxing County Government.

After half a day's effort, not only did Shen Rui get acquainted with several people at the same table, but even He Taizhi also made two new friends.

The two groups got together and went to a restaurant not far from the school palace.

Shen Rui here, the remaining years are Wang Ding, a student of Nancheng Academy, who is the second, Hu Chunfang, who is the third, and Zhou Ran, the senior of Chunshan Academy, who is the ninth. The first three people are from Shuntianfu, and the latter one is from Daxing County, and they all entered the official school of Shuntianfu as a new epiphysio, and they will be classmates of Fuxue in the future.

Hu Chunfang refused to let everyone go, and had to pull everyone to eat tea, also in order to cultivate friendship with classmates as soon as possible.

He Taizhi met two new friends who were not from Daxing County, but two little talents from Wanping County, thirteen-year-old Ye Ke and eleven-year-old Li Zhidao. Looking at the two of them dressed, they didn't look like civilian children

Shen Rui didn't worry about He Tai alone, and He Taizhi also brought a new friend to show Shen Rui, so he got one

Two groups of seven people went to the teahouse, asked for a private room, and sat down.

Hu Chunfang was pushed to the first seat at the age of twenty-five, Wang Ding was the second seat at the age of sixteen, Zhou Ran was again at the age of fifteen, followed by Shen Rui, Ye Ke, He Taizhi, and Li Zhidao.

Although there are seven people, four of them are in the top ten, and the three little showmen are all at the bottom of the list, but when they are here, if they really talk about talent and learning potential, they may not be worse than the older ones.

Although Hu Chunfang is a little older than everyone, she does not "rely on the old and sell the old", and is very enthusiastic about everyone.

However, He Taizhi was a little surprised when he heard that Zhou Ran was also going to study in the official school, and asked, "Isn't Senior Brother going back to the academy to study?" ”

Zhou Ran said: "I want to take the annual exam, which is cheaper in the official school." ”

As soon as he said this, Wang Ding and Hu Chunfang both looked at him.

Hu Chunfang's eyes blinked, and he said, "Is this planning to participate in the township examination in the coming year?" ”

Zhou Ran nodded and said, "Although there are many shortcomings, I want to try." ”

Although he is modest, he is young and vigorous, and he brings out a little pride.

A few little showmen looked at Zhou Ran with admiration and envy.

Wang Ding pinched the teacup and said nothing.

Hu Chunfang's smile on his face was even bigger: "Then I have to encourage Brother Zhou more in the future......"

Among the people present, he is the oldest, and he does not want to continue to delay, so it is not surprising that he will participate in the next township examination.

He Taizhi was originally a little depressed, but he calculated the time in his heart, even if Zhou Ran could participate in the next township exam, it would be at the age of seventeen; Even if he participated in the lower department township examination, he was also seventeen years old. If you count from the time, it is three years later than everyone; In terms of age, everyone is about the same.

He calmed down a little and glanced at Shen Rui, who was smiling lightly and listening to everyone.

Zhou Ran was not the ninth in the college exam, and he regarded fame as a low-hanging fruit; Cousin Rui's hospital examination is the "head of the case", mentioning that the next township test is still walking on thin ice, and he does not dare to slack off in his homework.

This Zhou Ran usually looks good, but compared with Cousin Rui, it looks ridiculous.

He Taizhi compared Shen Rui with Zhou Ran, and Wang Ding and Hu Chunfang naturally had to compare each other, and they had their own thoughts.

Zhou Ran did not notice the change in the atmosphere in the seat, but took the initiative to talk to Shen Rui about Shen Quanlai.

Hu Chunfang saw that Zhou Ran treated people differently, treated Shen Rui and He Taizhi warmer than others, treated the two Xiaoxiu Cai a little worse, and ignored Hu Chunfang and Wang Ding.

Hu Chunfang secretly sneered, but he was just a poor Hanlin's nephew, so he felt that the gold was expensive, which was really ridiculous. The Shangshu boy next to him didn't speak, so he and the others were divided into three, six, nine and so on, what kind of thing?

Hu Chunfang's family is the head of the squires in Bazhou, and the family has thousands of acres of fertile land, even if they are not the children of the official family, there are many people who are officials among the relatives and relatives of the clan. A Hanlin official, he really didn't put it in his eyes.

The atmosphere on the tea table lost its previous harmony, and it was a little cold for a while.

Shen Rui felt bored and wanted to leave early, but seeing He Taizhi talking to his two new friends with great interest, he didn't want to spoil his interest.

At this time, I heard a commotion at the door.

And when they all looked at the door, they saw that the door of the private room was pushed open, revealing two young men, one tall and one short.

He Taizhi stood up and said with surprise: "Brother Shou, Brother Gao"

Shen Rui also looked at the door.

Unlike the first two appearances, Brother Shou is no longer dressed as a beggar, but wearing red silk clothes, holding a white jade folding fan in his hand, and a mutton fat jade peace card hanging from his waist, looking like a rich young man.

Gao Wenhu is still wearing a short cloth shirt, and he looks darker than two months ago.

Brother Shou entered the private room with a smile, looked at the red silk flowers on the tea table, closed the folding fan in his hand, and said, "I came a step too late, I didn't see the demeanor of Brother Shen and Taizhi's hairpins......"

As he spoke, he looked at the other guests again, and when he saw the young Ye Ke and Li Zhidao, he looked at them twice

His gaze was almost rude, but he was a good-looking, fair-eyed little boy with a smile on his face, which made people feel bad.

Hu Chunfang said with a little curiosity: "Hengyun, who are these two?" ”

Shen Rui looked at Brother Shou's slightly playful eyes, only felt that his scalp was numb, and introduced Brother Shou and Gao Wenhu to everyone, only talking about his friends.

Zhou Ran was still very attentive to Brother Shou, but although Brother Shou was young, he was dignified with his gestures, unlike ordinary people. Coupled with the jade pendant on his waist and the folding fan in his hand, it doesn't look like a vulgar thing. Ordinary rich and noble families would not give such a thing to a teenager, wouldn't it be a pity if it was lost?

However, when he saw Shen Rui making an introduction, he introduced everyone first, instead of introducing everyone to the visitors first, he knew in his heart that most of this "Brother Shou" was just the children of the official eunuchs that Shen Rui knew, and he didn't have any noble status, otherwise it would not be this introduction.

He only talks about people according to wealth and dignity, but he forgot to start from the number of etiquette, Shen Rui introduced old friends to new friends first, and he should have been close and different. It is also polite to introduce people to new friends who are unfamiliar first.

He is the nephew of Hanlin, born in a scholarly and Hanmo family, and has always been contemptuous of wealth and wealth.

When the two salutes, Zhou Ran's chin was raised, and he didn't give more face because the other party was Shen Rui's friend.

Brother Shou has always been arrogant, he has always been the only one who picks and despises others, but now that he is stared at like this, he doesn't feel annoyed, he only feels strange.

Wang Ding was originally pulled by Hu Chunfang, and he also had the idea of wanting to know more about Shen Rui in his heart. Seeing that a few students were not speculating now, and Shen Rui had friends here, he got up and said goodbye.

Zhou Ran looked like he wanted to be friends with Wang Ding, and he also followed. Seeing this, Ye Ke and Li Zhidao hesitated a few times and said goodbye to everyone.

The two of them were young, and the family was not at ease, so they arranged for many people to accompany them, and also told them to go home early

In a blink of an eye, Hu Chunfang was the only new friend left.

Although he didn't have anything to do, he was interested, so he made an appointment with Shen Rui to visit the professor, and found an excuse to leave. Before leaving, he didn't forget to settle the tea money first, and then instructed Xiao Er to change the tea for Shen Rui's private room.

In the box, only four old friends remained.

He Taizhi punched Brother Shou vigorously and said, "Didn't you say that you would come to your aunt's house again to find your cousin to play with me before you were not righteous enough?" As a result, there has been no movement for so many days, and there is not even a ...... news."

Brother Shou flashed a mouthful of small white teeth and said: "It's not that I'm afraid of delaying your study academy exam, if I'm so uninteresting and disturb your hard work, Mrs. Xu will turn me away next time......"

He Taizhi rolled his eyes and said, "It's all an excuse, it must be that you played ruthlessly a few days ago and were detained by the elders to study, right?" Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Is it because you wore a hundred clothes to go out as a guest last time?" If you do something like that, if you are caught, it will be light to lock you up for two months."

Brother Shou was still smiling, but he didn't know what to think, and there was coldness in his eyes......
