Volume 1 Chapter 94 Fame
Yang Cong was in a hurry to find the entrance to the examination room, but he didn't expect to be blocked by Chen Neng, he didn't want to deal with this kid at this time, but Chen Neng repeatedly mocked and humiliated him, he couldn't say, he only gave this kid a little color to see.
His bet was actually a set, a set specially for Chen Neng to drill, and Chen Neng was also stunned, and he got into it without thinking about it.
What to bet on?
It's easy!
Yang Cong said lightly: "How about betting 10,000 taels of silver, you should know that during the government examination last year, Chen Wenjie of the Longxi Chen family was also like you, and he couldn't get along with me, but he didn't make sense to get into trouble with the Xuezheng people, so the Longxi Chen family paid me 10,000 taels of silver." This 10,000 taels of silver is just used to bet with you, what do you think? ”
What does he mean, boy, you know that I can take out 10,000 taels of silver casually, can you take out 10,000 taels of silver?
When Chen Neng heard this, his face immediately turned red, if he wants to talk about the field, his family has more than 10,000 acres, if he wants to talk about silver, his family will only be more than 100,000 taels to die, and he can't bet on these silver, just kidding, Fuzhou Chen Jiaguang has hundreds of men, even if he is the eldest son and grandson, he can't share much silver, he may be able to take out 1,000 taels, 10,000 taels he can't take out at all.
Yang Cong's words were not only mocking Chen Neng for having no money, he was also faintly warning the gentry who followed Chen Neng's side, don't mess with Lao Tzu if you don't have the ability!
These gentry children are not idiots, they also heard the meaning of Yang Cong's words, according to what Yang Cong said, the Longxi Chen family was in the hands of others, and they honestly paid 10,000 taels of silver, from Chen Neng's expression, they can also see that this thing is absolutely true, didn't I see this invincible Chen Gongzi was speechless.
What are you kidding, the Longxi Chen family is a wealthy maritime businessman, and the existence that officials in the southeastern provinces dare not provoke have been "overturned" by this kid, isn't this kid even more terrifying than the maritime giant.
They didn't dare to provoke such a terrifying existence, and a group of gentry children saw that Chen Neng was speechless, so they simply hugged Chen Neng to the side and walked away.
Yang Cong looked at Chen Neng's back, pursed his lips, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, I don't know what I can do!" ”
Chen Neng obviously heard it, and his body paused obviously, but before he could turn around, he was forced away by a group of gentry children.
What are you kidding, the maritime giants can't fight others, you still fight with others, don't you seek death, you are not afraid of death, we are afraid of death!
Chen Neng actually reacted, the forces behind Yang Cong are really not simple, he is not an opponent at all at this time, and if he is hard, the ending may be even more miserable than Chen Wenjie, so he did not insist on going back to Yang Cong to settle accounts, but followed the flow of people and went away.
This is the end of a small episode, Yang Cong quickly found the entrance to the examination room, and it didn't take long for him to be the first to pass the inspection and enter the real examination room.
The process of this hospital examination is actually similar to the government examination, that is, there are more people, Yang Cong has long been accustomed to the stuffiness and smell of the examination room, he is not in a hurry to make a draft, and drank some water and ate some dry food as if nothing happened, and then carefully polished the article, and then copied the article on the answer sheet neatly, the day has almost passed, and when the examination paper came out, he didn't even feel tired, I have to say, purely on the ability to adapt to the examination room, he is indeed an out-and-out genius.
The college exam is finally over, and the next thing is to wait for the release of the list.
This time, Yang Cong decided to take a look for himself, although he was absolutely sure that he was on the list, but he didn't know if he could be ranked first again, and if he wanted to win the first place again, then he would be a veritable Lianzhong Sanyuan, this title is really a bit exciting.
Early in the morning of the third day, before the hour arrived, he and Yu Dayou and others came to the place outside the school.
What is unexpected is that although this list has not yet been released, the place where the list has been released has already been crowded.
After all, this talent has a real fame, and he can be regarded as a small person in the local area, and there are naturally a lot of people who pay attention, plus the candidates and their relatives and friends, there are thousands of people gathered in the place where the list is released, standing behind the crowd, and it is no longer clear that the words where the list is posted can no longer be seen.
Yang Cong is not worried that he will not be able to squeeze in, there are three fierce generals Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan, not to mention thousands of people, even if thousands of enemy troops want to kill them, it is not a big problem.
After a while, Yang Cong squeezed to the front of the crowd surrounded by Yu Dayou and the three of them, and at this time, the official who posted the list also happened to unfold the first list and paste it up.
Yang Cong couldn't help but look at the list through the arm of the servant, and soon, he saw it, "Jiajing Twelfth Year Examination List of the Academy of Sciences", "First Yang Cong (Quanzhou Hui'an)".
Sure enough, it was the first place again, and I really won three yuan in a row!
He was so excited that he almost didn't jump, but at this moment, a slightly annoyed muffled snort suddenly broke out in the crowd, "Hmph, it's this guy again!" ”
Yang Cong looked at it and saw that it was Chen Neng again.
Nima, don't accept it, right?
These gentry children just don't clean up.
He glared at this guy fiercely, and then snorted coldly: "Boy, you should be glad you didn't bet with me, otherwise, you would have to raise money now." ”
Chen Neng was annoyed because he was second in the district, and Yang Cong's stimulation suddenly became popular.
He couldn't help but pointed at Yang Cong and shouted angrily: "The surname is Yang, don't deceive people too much." ”
Yang Cong pursed his lips disdainfully and said: "What is too much deception, debt repayment, it is justified, Longxi Chen family does not dare to rely on my account, do you dare?" ”
What is this, what is it, Chen Neng was so angry, fortunately, the gentry around him were not dizzy, they also knew that this Yang Cong could not be provoked, anyway, the list was also seen at this time, and it didn't make much sense to stay here, they simply half-pulled and half-squeezed, and hugged Chen Neng and walked out.
Chen Neng is actually a strong outsider, and he also knows that he can't do anything with Yang Cong at this time, so he can only pretend that he can't resist everyone again, so he just takes advantage of the situation.
However, the end of the college exam is not just a matter of looking at the list, and the candidates on the list also have to go to the school to receive the official document proving their identity as a showman.
This official document was not issued casually by ordinary local officials, but was personally issued by the Governor Xuezheng on behalf of the emperor.
With this official document, it proves that you already have a fame, and fame can be very useful in these years.
For example, if you have a fame, you can go to the yamen at all levels to apply for official officials, such as the clerks of the six branches, these are all official officials registered in the official department.
For another example, even if you have a meritorious name, you can't beat it if you commit a crime, and you must be reformed by the academic administration before you can be punished.
Also, with fame, you can travel unhindered in the Ming Dynasty, Beijing, and thirteen provinces, and with fame, you can have tax-free arable land, etc.
In short, in these years, fame is a symbol of status, and having fame proves that you are no longer an ordinary person.
