Shen Rui re-made a table of calculations for the imperial examination, and next year he should take the children's examination, participate in the annual examination and scientific examination, obtain the qualification for the township examination, and participate in the township examination. The township test is not like the first grade, the second grade, and the third grade, as long as it is on the list, even the last one is successful.

The third master of the second room was lifted at the age of fifteen, the second master was lifted at the age of sixteen, Shen Luo was also lifted at the age of sixteen, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were all teenagers.

Shen Rui can end up when he is fifteen years old, even if he falls for the first time, he is not afraid, leaving room for a subject.

If you are lucky and you are 18 years old, you will stop taking a subject and take the examination in four years, at the age of 22. At that time, it depends on whether the homework is solid or not, and whether the examiner's "context" can be accurate, if you have the bottom in your heart, you will end the game, otherwise you will wait for another subject to end at the age of twenty-five.

The fourteenth year of Hongzhi is about to pass, and there are eleven years left.

Shen Rui finished the plan and table, and sighed in his heart, but he was helpless. What I thought before was too simple, not to mention the side, even the age of the eldest master is here, and he is not allowed to slow down.

In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, there is no such thing as being seventy or eighty years old and still clinging to power, except for the ministers who are relied on by the saints, most of the other officials are at the age of sixty.

If Shen Rui enters the office late, he can't borrow the light of the big man, and it will be difficult in the officialdom.

Today I took a day off, and now I still have half a day to spare, so Shen Rui went to the room to say hello, and took Changshou and Changfu to the Wang family.

After Wang Shouren returned from Jiangbei, he sued "sick and recuperate" after handing over his errand in the Criminal Department

According to the rules, if an official is sick, he can take sick leave for three months, and when the third month is over, he needs to ask for it again, otherwise the position will be vacant. Wang Shouren is not here to take a leave of absence for three months, but to vacancy directly due to illness.

Wang Shouren is indeed seriously ill, but it is not as serious as outsiders guess. It's just that he checked the old prison in Jiangbei, and offended too many people at once, and there was something wrong with the news in the court, so he took a step back to protect the father and son.

It's just that He Yingzhi is a little wronged, because the engagement is hasty, and the wedding date is in the wax moon, but many people see it as the Wang family "rushing".

In fact, the reason why the wedding date was set in a hurry was because Wang Shouren was going to return to his hometown to "recuperate" after the New Year.

When Shen Rui arrived, Wang Shouren was sitting by the window, holding a book in his hand. After two months of recuperation, he has long since recovered from his illness, but he has not returned because of the amount of illness he lost before. In addition, I don't go out of the house much these days, and my skin is a little pale, and I look a little thin.

Shen Rui didn't change his clothes, he was still dressed as a guest in the morning, Wang Shouren put down the book in his hand, beckoned him to sit closer, and said with a smile: "Packed up so solemnly, this is going to Yang's house?" ”

The marriage between the Shen and Yang families, even if it was not publicized, Wang Shouren knew about it.

He also agrees with this family business.

The Yang family is a scholarly family, and the Shen family is a good match.

You must know that the three elders of Lu Dao are all in the James Mansion in the past, and they are the deceased people when he became the prince today.

Now that the three elders of the court and the central government are parting with each other, Lord Shen is a scholar, no matter which side he leans, it is inappropriate. Shen Rui's family affairs, if one is inappropriate, will pull the Shen family into the party dispute. Now jumping out of the three parties, even if the Yang family has a thinner foundation, it is not without benefits. Although Yang Tinghe's background is not Sandingjia, he is also from the Hanlin Academy, and he is in the East Palace, so he can be expected to enter the cabinet in the future.

Shen Rui thought of Yang Tinghe's disappointed eyes in the morning, and said, "The disciple has embarrassed the teacher again. ”

Wang Shouren sat up straight and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Shen Rui smiled bitterly and said about the poem trial in the morning, Wang Shouren shook his head and said: "That's your weakness, I have already instructed you to write poems diligently in addition to reading poetry anthologies...... I have a lot of things to do here in the past two months, and your academy has a lot of schoolwork, but I forgot about this stubble......" Speaking of this, he said with a little regret on his face: "Scholar Yang doesn't know that you are in a hurry, otherwise you can get on the stage even if you can't get a commendation for taking a current exam." ”

Shen Rui said: "Before, the disciple was not in a hurry, even if he knew his shortcomings, he also wanted to take it step by step, but now he is a little anxious...... Progressing here doesn't happen overnight. There are only a few months left until next year's county exam, and the disciple is really a little unsure. ”

It's not that I'm worried that the boy won't be able to try, but I'm afraid that the grades will be too low, so the Yang family will despise them.

The father and son of the Yang family are in the next generation, they are the type of scholars, and Shen Rui doesn't want to be the same.

Wang Shouren thought for a while and said: "As long as you take the imperial examination, you can't get around the poems. If you don't make up for this, the hospital test will be repaid, and the township test and the general test will be ethereal. ”

When Shen Rui heard this, he only felt a headache.

Shiwen is a fixed article, and everyone's level, in addition to their own level of problem solving, also depends on the examiner's preference, which can be traced; There are fewer words in the trial poems, but they can be more demanding, and they will be popular if they are not careful.

It's not that Shen Rui can't do it at the moment, but he has no aura. In the low-level exams, they can barely pass; When you go to the township test and the general test, you will be compared with others, and it will become a shortcoming

Wang Shouren looked at the disciple's sad face, and couldn't help but smile: "You are also stunned, where is the cleverness of the previous study of the literature?" In the final analysis, the simultaneous text of the trial post poem is limited to the topic and format, but the number of words is different. As long as you can make a flowery appearance, who will buckle words with you and understand the poetry? ”

Shen Rui's eyes lit up when he heard this: "What does the teacher mean is that the disciple's previous method of 'summarizing the test' can also be applied to the test poem?" ”

Wang Shouren nodded and said, "Why not?" If you do a test poem one day, and it is as colorful as you are doing a current text, then you will be able to ...... people."

Shen Rui used to be blind, and he always felt that poetry needed poetry to be good or bad, but now he realized that he was just for the exam, not to make a name for himself in Shilin, but only for the examiner.

He stood up, bowed to Wang Shouren and said, "Teacher Xie for guidance." ”

Wang Shouren said helplessly: "It's just a trick, it's not a good thing in the end...... Since you are a shortcoming here, you must make up for your weaknesses, otherwise even if the imperial examination goes well, it will inevitably be light for Shilin to make friends in the future. Poetry and painting are not separated, there are three masters of the Shen family, you can also be regarded as the first to get the moon near the water, and then practice ten big characters every day, Danqing here is also attentive in his leisure, as long as there is a long development, the shortcomings of the side can also be covered......"

After knowing each other for four years, Wang Shouren also saw that even if his disciple studied diligently and had outstanding talents, he could not be a Wenkui.

Shen Rui lowered his hand and listened, and answered honestly.

Thinking that Wang Shouren would return to his hometown next year, Shen Rui said with regret: "It's a pity that the disciple has to take the boy's exam next year, and he can't ...... with the teacher."

Wang Shouren glanced at him and said, "It's not that I don't want to go back to Beijing, so what kind of childlike am I?" After two years, everything will be safe, and I will go to Beijing with my grandmother......"

The Shen family and the Yang family have already "looked at each other", and the two families have a tacit understanding, and the news that Shen Rui is going to get engaged has also spread among the relatives.

Even if Master Shen and the Xu family are the heirs and parents, they can call the shots, but it is not good to skip Shen Li and Guo, who care for Shen Rui well. Shen Li was there, and Master Shen told him; Guo is here, and Xu sent a post and went over in person.

Guo was not surprised when he heard that Shen Rui was talking about marriage.

After all, Shen Rui is the heir, and it is important to inherit the incense, so he is now discussing his marriage, and he will be married next year, and it is not too early to become a family in fifteen or six.

However, when he heard that the other party was only nine years old and was only a young lady of the Wupin official family, Guo Shi did not show anything on his face, but he was surprised in his heart.

After all, women are not the same as men, men can know personnel at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and women are too young to give birth. She thought that the second room was in a hurry to say goodbye to Shen Rui, even if she didn't find a daughter-in-law who was older than Shen Rui, she would be about the same age as Shen Rui, but she didn't expect to be so young.

In addition, the Yang family is only a fifth-grade official, and there is too much difference between it and the eldest master of the Shen family, even if it is a "low-ranking wife", with the second-grade official body of the eldest lord Shen now, there is a lot of room for choice.

However, the Xu family and Master Shen have already made a unified statement about Shen Yang's marriage, that is, for Shen Rui's studies.

When Guo Shi heard this, he didn't have any doubts, and secretly rejoiced for Shen Rui.

does not think about the inheritance of children, only cares about Shen Rui's studies, and the marriage is also based on Shen Rui's future, that is, his biological father, that's all.

When the Xu family left, when the Guo family and the old man Hong mentioned this family business, they were still full of feelings, and only said that the big master and the Xu family were kind.

Master Hongda is a man in the end, his vision is wider, and he said: "Brother Cang is getting older, and he has begun to pave the way for Brother Rui......"

However, Shen Quan learned the news from his parents, and after the accident, he was not angry and said: "This Brother Rui has a strict mouth, and he didn't show any news before......

When he arrived at the academy the next day, Shen Quan looked for Shen Rui, pulled him to a no-man's land, and gave him a lecture for a while.

Shen Rui repeatedly told me: "The third brother spared me this time, it's not that he deliberately concealed it from the third brother, but he didn't approve ......the letter before, so it's hard to make a noise."

Shen Quan sneered: "It's all about coaxing me!" The Yang family is not a noble family, will they still find fault with you? ”

Shen Quan has always protected his shortcomings, and Shen Rui couldn't say that he was picked on by Yang Tinghe, so he only said: "A family of women, a hundred families ask, and those who choose a son-in-law must always ......be cautious."

Shen Quan himself had only been engaged for a short time, and immediately reacted: "The day you asked for leave a few days ago, did you go to 'see each other'?" ”

Shen Rui nodded, Shen Quan didn't make a big noise before thinking about his "look", and snorted lightly, which can be regarded as sparing Shen Rui.

It was Mao Chi, seeing that Yang Shen still didn't give Shen Rui a good face, but Shen Rui blindly tolerated it here, and it was inevitable that he would be unhappy. He had already persuaded him twice before, but Yang Shen went his own way.

Mao Chi couldn't bear it anymore, and complained to Yang Shen: "If you really don't have the same temper, don't make it up, why bother like this." Did Shen Rui make a mistake that made you so unwelcome? If I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have introduced you as friends in the first place...... It's not a child, and if you say it, you will turn your face......"

Yang Shen didn't answer, I don't know if I heard it, and I didn't come to Class E anymore.

Mao Chi was a little unbearable, and said to Shen Rui: "Did I say it before?" ”

Mao Chi was a friend, and Shen Rui couldn't hide it from him anymore, so he talked about the two families
