The Ming Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, the status of scholars was very high, the imperial court selected talents by the imperial examination, the imperial examination system here was very perfect, the imperial court held an imperial examination every three years, and all men between the ages of 16 and 26 could participate in the imperial examination. Once the title of the gold list is inscribed, the candidate can leap into the dragon gate and be reused by the imperial court from then on.

The imperial examination is divided into four levels from low to high, namely the county examination, the government examination, the county examination, and the palace examination. The county examination is invigilated by the officials of the Futai Yamen, and after passing the examination, he is a showman. The government examination is invigilated by the officials of the governor's yamen, and after passing the examination, he is promoted. The county examination is presided over by the officials appointed by the forbidden palace, and after passing the examination, he is called a tribute.

If the scholar student can pass these three levels, he will be eligible to participate in the highest level of the palace examination, the palace examination to take the top ten students of the imperial examination to the forbidden palace, by the emperor himself to take the main examination, through the palace examination is named the champion, also known as the son of heaven protégé. In addition to the champion, the second place will be sealed and the third place will be sealed, and the officials will be placed according to the candidates' rankings.

Ten years of hard study, just to get ahead, in order to be able to display the ambitions in the chest, but also to glorify the family lintel. Every time there is a imperial examination, students from all over the world will leave home with their bags to rush for the examination, from the heroic young scholars to the gray-haired drooping old men, all of whom only learn for the emperor's list.

Although Liu Fan inquired clearly about some information about the current dynasty, he was a little distressed at this time, he was familiar with the official historical documents and wild history anecdotes of various dynasties, but he only didn't know the information of the current dynasty, he recalled all the historical documents from his mind, and none of the dynasties could be linked to the Tianming Dynasty in front of him.

Here reverence the way of Confucius and Mencius, through the study of the Four Books and Five Classics, there are many rumors related to Confucius and Mencius and the two sages, but carefully listen to it and find that those rumors are completely different from the Confucian and Mencian culture on the earth, many ancient masterpieces did not appear in this dynasty, and the famous Confucian works circulated here have never been heard.

Liu Fan racked his brains for a while, and finally came up with a ridiculous idea, perhaps because of the seven-colored butterfly, he traveled to this time and space, this should be another parallel universe, so many things are very similar to the earth, after coming to this conclusion, Liu Fan fell asleep depressed.

Putting away the books on the desk, Liu Fan got up and stretched, he had almost understood the customs of the Tianming Dynasty during this time, although he already knew that this was a golden age of scholars, but Liu Fan didn't want to be swaggering, just like the word "Fan" in the name, he just wanted to be an inconspicuous ordinary person.

In the past few days, Liu Fan took advantage of his amnesia to begin to collect clues about Liu Fan in this life. Whenever someone came to visit him in the backyard, he would ask the other party about the owner of this body, but the more he listened, the more angry he became, if it weren't for the fear that mutilating the body would save his life, Liu Fan wanted to tear this body to pieces.

Although the previous owner of this body was not angry, Liu Fan still accepted this fact, he secretly planned in his heart to do more good things from now on, to help his predecessor Liu Fan atone for his sins in this way, and by the way, to help himself recover his reputation, he didn't want to live a lifetime with the infamy of his predecessor Liu Fan.

After another month, Liu Fan has completely adapted to the current life, he now only does two things every day, reading in the morning and exercising in the afternoon, and he lives a fulfilling life every day. At the same time, the people in the house have also become accustomed to Liu Fan's amnesia.

Liu Fan's mother is called Guo Xiuyun, her mother's family is from Dingyuan County, and there is an eldest brother named Guo Zixing in the family.

In the past two months, Guo Xiuyun went to Liu Fan every day to take care of her, but the more she observed, the more surprised she became, because Liu Fan's changes were too big, if she hadn't secretly checked and saw that the birthmark on Liu Fan's body was correct, Guo Xiuyun would even suspect that the son in front of her was another person.

Not only Guo Xiuyun, but Liu Baiyuan also noticed Liu Fan's changes, although his head was amnesia due to suffocation, but his personality could not be changed? As a result, Liu Fan not only forgot the past, but his character also completely changed, the previous violence, arrogance, domineering, and completely disappeared, and was replaced by gentleness, humility, and stability.

In addition to Liu Baiyuan and his wife, the housekeeper and Yahuan also found that the second young master had changed, not as domineering as before, two days ago, when the second young master was practicing etiquette in the courtyard, an old lady in the house accidentally touched him, and as a result, both of them fell to the ground.

If it was the second young master before, he would definitely beat and scold the old woman, and after the incident, he would have to drive people out of the house, but this time it was different, although the second young master was smashed and grinned, but he was not angry, seeing the old lady so frightened that she knelt down to admit her mistake, Liu Fan not only did not blame her, but helped her up.

Liu Fan asked the old lady with a concerned face, if she was injured? After that, the second young master actually admitted his mistake to the old grandmother, saying that he had just patronized the practice of etiquette, and he didn't see the old grandmother coming over, causing her to fall. After apologizing, Liu Fan asked Xiaocui on the side to pay some money in the account, and told her to hand over the money to the old grandmother, saying what the recuperation fee was.

After this matter was spread by the subordinates, all the family members and maidservants were secretly happy, saying that this fall made the second young master a good person, and some people even suspected that Liu Fan was possessed by Liu Zun, otherwise there would not be such a big change, but no matter what, Liu Fan's current changes really made the Liu Mansion happy.

In the past two days, Liu Fan asked Xiaocui to go to Mu Wanqiong to withdraw a thousand taels of silver, and asked Xiaocui to go to the West Wing Courtyard where the maidservants lived with the silver.

Looking at Liu Fan in front of them, those maidservants were all beating drums from their hearts, they couldn't figure out the purpose of Liu Fan's coming over at this time? Many maidservants even thought crankily from their hearts, secretly saying that this little master should not be itchy at this time because he has not been close to women for more than two months, right? The thought of this flashed a trace of panic on the faces of the maidservants.

Looking at the immature-looking maids in front of him, Liu Fan sighed, he turned to look at Xiao Cui: "Xiao Cui, I really can't remember some things, I remember that you told me before, saying that I once harmed the ten maids in the house, are those people here now?" ”

At noon today, Liu Fan suddenly asked Xiao Cui to withdraw the silver, and asked Xiao Cui to lead him to the West Wing Courtyard, on the way to Xiao Cui was still a little puzzled, thinking about why the second young master asked me to come to the West Wing Courtyard with so much silver? Hearing Liu Fan's inquiry now, she seems to have guessed something?

So when Liu Fan's voice fell, Xiao Cui nodded: "Second Young Master Qiyu, at that time, the young master ------ well------ among the ten sisters who the young master hurt before, three sisters left the Liu Mansion because they couldn't bear the humiliation, and the remaining seven sisters stayed here because they were homeless." ”

"You find the seven of them." Liu Fan said in a deep voice.

"Oh." After answering, Xiaocui pointed to a few maids and introduced to Liu Xu: "This is Sister Ling'er, this is Sister Ping'er, this is Sister Rong'er, this is Sister Magpie, this is Sister Linlin......"

When Xiaocui finished introducing the seven maids, Liu Fan took out a hundred taels of silver ingots from the package in Xiaocui's arms, and slowly walked to the maid named Ling'er, in everyone's shocked expressions, he bowed deeply to Ling'er, and apologized to the other party sincerely: "Sister Ling'er, I'm sorry for the previous incident, please forgive me." After apologizing, Liu Fan stuffed the silver into the hands of Ling'er, who was in a daze.

In this way, Liu Fan apologized to the seven maids who had been hurt in front of all the maids in the house, and after leaving one hundred taels of silver for each of them, Liu Fan instructed Xiaocui to find the homes of the other three maids and send the remaining three hundred taels of silver to the other party.

Looking at Liu Fan's figure of turning away, Ling'er and several maids suddenly felt that part of the resentment accumulated in their hearts had dissipated, and the grievances they had suffered for many years were instantly vented. Xiao Cui held the silver in her arms, tilted her head to look at Liu Fan's back, and secretly prayed in her heart: "I hope the young master will never change back to his previous appearance......

In the wing room in the backyard of Liu's mansion, Mu Wanqiong was learning to keep accounts, and opposite her, her personal maid told Liu Fan about going to the West Wing Courtyard to apologize to the maids.

After listening to the maid's words, a trace of surprise flashed on Mu Wanqiong's face, she stopped the brush in her hand, pondered for a moment, and then she put the brush into the inkstone and dipped it in ink, and continued to bury her head in the accounts.

In Liu Baiyuan's study, an old man in his sixties was bending down to listen to Liu Baiyuan. This person is Liu Shan'an, the old housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, who has worked in the Liu Mansion for more than forty years and is Liu Baiyuan's confidant.

At this moment, there was a letterhead on Liu Baiyuan's desk, looking at the letterhead in front of him, Liu Baiyuan's face showed a trace of irritability: "Before a stick of incense, a strong man who claimed to be a member of the "Hongru Society" led a girl in purple to send a letter to the house.

The letter said that the president of the Confucian Society was the reincarnation of the Holy Master. The purpose of their Confucian Association is to educate the world without class. They asked me to donate 100,000 taels of silver, saying that if I didn't agree, the day the Holy Master returned, it would be the time for the Liu family to fall. ”

After listening to Liu Baiyuan's words, Liu Shan'an groaned for a while, and said softly: "Master, although the current imperial court is committed to the implementation of civil politics, but the open and secret struggle between the various factions of Confucianism is becoming more and more obvious. ”

"Alas......" sighed, Liu Baiyuan sighed with emotion: "Today's saints respect literary talents, so that all kinds of academic societies have risen, Taifu's "Boyi Society", Taishi's "Lile Zhai", Taibao's "Poetry Garden", and now there is a "Hongru Society", I don't know which big man's power is this? ”
