Shen's mother's body became more and more unbearable.

Although I have been buying some water and rice for the past few days, it is because Shen Yun and Yinzhu'er are there. I didn't want the two children to suffer, so I struggled to get up and cook something to keep the two of them from starving. In fact, I just ate a few bites of each meal and lost my mood.

It is said that the daughter is the parents' close-fitting little padded jacket, and the silver bottle is no different.

In the past few days, he has been walking with Shen's mother for several days, which is quite persuasive, but it has made Shen's mother think a lot.

It's just that when I thought of Shen Yun losing his father at a young age, not only would the family have no support in the future, but if the township wanted to find a daughter-in-law, I was afraid that it would be difficult. Shen's mother's mood was much heavier because of this.

In the end, it took Shen Yun and the two of them a silver bottle to repair it.

The neighbors looked at the two of them pitifully, but they also took some care, but they completely lost their former enthusiasm.

In just one month, Shen Yun has tasted the warmth and coldness of human affection. Those who had something to do with the Shen family before, although they were not in a hurry to clear it up, they could see Shen Yun, but they didn't seem to know it. As for the more odious ones, who secretly slander and slander, there is also a lot of gossip.

It's October.

Shen Yun had been in this world for three months, and he had never imagined that so many things would happen in a short period of time from a poor family.

The early morning sun turned overhead. Shen Yun, who was studying in his house as usual, suddenly heard someone outside the door shouting: "This is the residence of scholar Shen Yun?" ”

Mother Shen and Yinhua'er were both relaxing in the courtyard.

When they saw two officials standing in front of the house with a middle-aged man in his thirties, saying Shen Yun's name, they couldn't help but shudder in their hearts.

Could it be that Shen Yun has committed something?

The villagers who had good things came out of their homes one after another, gathered not far from Shen Yun's house, and kept pointing and pointing in this direction, thinking that they must have the same doubts. As for the attitude, it is not known.

The middle-aged scribe was also patient, and when he asked once and no one answered, he still asked a second time with a smile.

Shen's mother came back to her senses and responded in a very low voice: "This is Shen Yun's home, why did the official come here?" ”

Finally got the answer, the scribe smiled, left two messengers to guard the door, walked in alone and bowed to Shen's mother: "Xiao Ke is Jiang Jimin, the staff of Chengji Liu Xianzun, and I heard that Shen Sheng was full of economy, so I came to visit. ”

Shen's mother finally fell on a big stone in her heart.

In that case, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing for your family.

At this time, Shen Yun had already walked out of the door, and when he heard Jiang Jimin's introduction, he bowed and bowed: "Student Shen Yun, I have seen Mr. Jiang." Mr. has been in the dust all the way, so why don't you go into the house and let the students entertain you one or two. ”

Jiang Jimin nodded secretly.

With such a courtesy, it's not a nerd to think about. Although Shen Yun invited him into the house, Jiang Jimin made a request: "You and I are both scholars, so don't be here, go directly to the place where you are studying." ”

I have to say that this is a very strange request.

It's just that Jiang Jimin is also a person with status in the end, and Shen Yun had to follow his words and lead him to his house.

Stepping into the side room, Jiang Jimin's heart sighed. With such a family background and environment, is it really as the person who said that day, he will be a person who reads poetry and books?

After pouring tea and sending it to Jiang Jimin, Shen Yun said: "The humble house is shabby, but it makes Mr. Jiang laugh. ”

Jiang Jimin walked all the way and dried all the way, but he was really thirsty at this time. took a sip of tea, put the tea bowl on the table, and then shook his head: "Otherwise, Confucius Ziyun: What is ugly?" If Shen Sheng is full of economy, here is the canopy in the air, and the pearl and jade are the walls. ”

Shen Yun smiled bitterly.

This scholar has a really high spiritual realm. Jiang Jimin said it so bluntly, but he was afraid that he would also report his own intentions for the examination.

"Down-and-out, ploughing day and night. Although I have never read thousands of books, every time I borrow a book, I can remember it all in my heart and chew it repeatedly. However, there is no famous teacher to guide me, so I can only do some empty articles here. ”

Jiang Jimin smiled.

In fact, there are many cases in Qinzhou, and most of them are scholars who are unwilling to be mediocre in this life, so they study hard at home and spend a lot of time in vain.

nodded, and asked: "Liu Xianzun asked me to ask Shen Sheng, this year's Chengji County Treasury is full, how to operate it in the coming year?" ”

Although it is a pretense of Liu Qingming's mouth, it is actually a question that Jiang Jimin casually came up with, similar to the current policy of the scientific examination, and a topic is delineated for candidates to play freely.

Shen Yun secretly thought about it in his heart.

This Liu County Order came to Chengji County the year before last. Now is the time for a three-year period, when the officials evaluate their merits and determine their promotion. The next answer is not only to benefit the people of Chengji County, but also to fill in a strong stroke for Liu Qingming's political career, which has to be considered.

The Ministry of Officials' Examination and Merit Department verifies merit, which is nothing more than starting from the aspects of official voice, political performance, and people's voice. In practice, it is probably the revitalization of water conservancy, the emphasis on agriculture and mulberry, the practice of education, the clearing of prisons, and the gentry.

In recent years, Chengji County has been governed by officials and educated, and these two points are of course the most brilliant.

But this is far from enough, and the people are still in a state of only hearing about this Liu County Order. is even more arrogant, he does not put the prefect Zhang Shi'an in his eyes, and the relationship is stiff.

There is a lot of difference between the official voice and the people's voice.

When the time comes, I'm afraid that it's all a good thing.

After pondering for a long time, just when Jiang Jimin couldn't wait, Shen Yun slowly spoke: "Next year, we should hold a few literary meetings, and invite Qinzhou celebrities to come and give lectures." At the same time, the threshold was relaxed, allowing more scholars from poor families to enter. Then, I invited the Lord Fuzun over. ”

Jiang Jimin's eyes lit up.

Presumably Liu Qingming is arrogant, but Zhang Shi'an has always been proud of bringing the humble scholars. If Liu Qingming can do this, he will definitely be able to ease the tense relationship between the two.

At that time, no matter how dissatisfied Zhang Shi'an is, he will not say bad things about Liu Qingming because of the face of several literary meetings.

But that's not all.

Shen Yun continued to talk eloquently: "Then in the spring and autumn, the county respected the county and walked around in Chengji County. There are many widows and lonely people in the people, if the government treasury is full of money and food, you may wish to give one or two, and they will inevitably feel the kindness of the county. ”

Then he emphatically emphasized: "This matter must be respected by the county, if you send a second-hand person, even if there is great kindness, how can the people know." ”

Two things, counted in one fell swoop, Shen Yun's calculation made Jiang Jimin slap his hands and laugh: "This calculation is really good." Not only can the temperament of the county and the government be judged by the folk discussions, but it is also exhaustive, amazing, amazing. ”

This is from Jiang Jimin's sincerity.

No matter how high Liu Qingming is, but when it comes to promotion, he still has to be nervous. So at this time, even if you pinch your nose and Zhang Shi'an, you will make it with a snake. Shen Yun took a fancy to this and said two things.

Si people have hills and valleys in their chests, and they are afraid that only a few people in the county school have this ability.

affirmed Shen Yun's ability, and the next school examination was naturally Shen Yun's knowledge.

"What books has Shen Sheng read over the years?" Asking so obviously, it is obvious that Jiang Jimin has raised Shen Yun to a certain height, otherwise the inquiry will be more tactful, and the meaning of the importance will be more hidden.

Shen Yun bowed: "The students are afraid, they have just read through the Twelve Classics over the years, but they are familiar with it. As for others, I have the opportunity to read some articles of the current dynasty jinshi, but this kind of opportunity is really rare. ”

Jiang Jimin did not underestimate Shen Yun because of this, on the contrary, he was extremely surprised in his heart. You must know that the Twelve Classics are not just something that you can just say by heart. That's what you need to memorize and have your own opinions.

Since Shen Yun said so, Jiang Jimin naturally wanted to be a good student to take the school entrance examination.

"In the general battle, Hua Yuan kills the sheep eater, and the sheep will not be with."

And the war, said: "The sheep of the past, the son is the government, and today's affairs, I am the government." "With the Zheng Division, ......the so-called 'unscrupulousness' of the so-called 'human beings' in the "Poem" is defeated, and the sheep is said to be the remnants of the people." For this paragraph of "Spring and Autumn", Shen Yun opened his mouth and came.

"Spring and Autumn" is a difficult point in the scriptures, and its narrative is fragmented and unsystematic, and the partial language is obscure and not easy to understand. Many people were trapped here during the expedition.

I don't want Shen Yun to be so fluent without a little preparation. Jiang Jimin's evaluation of Shen Yun has risen to a higher level.

It's just that the school examination doesn't stop because of this: "What's the explanation? ”

Shen Yun thought for a while: "The sheep is unjust, and he deserves to be blamed for a thousand years, if I am on the spot, I hate to slash this thief." However, Huayuan is also reckless, don't you hear that you don't suffer from widowhood and inequality, and you don't suffer from poverty and suffer from anxiety. How can there be such an omission in the major event of life and death, and the flies and dogs will be suspicious. ”

Jiang Jimin was stunned, and didn't want to have such an interpretation. Just thinking about Liu Qingming's current situation, it seems that Shen Yun still means something, so he doesn't say much on this issue, just keeps Shen Yun's words in his heart and prepares to bring them back to Liu Qingming.

The next test that Shen Yun underwent was from the Book of Rites to the Analects, from the Book of Changes to the Book of Songs. Straight Sect Jiang Jimin sighed again and again.

Finally, he finally spoke: "Shen Sheng is so knowledgeable, it is a pity that he failed the scientific examination. Liu Xianzun heard that Shen Sheng's name was famous, and he didn't want to leave a legacy in the countryside, so he sent me to take the school exam. If it passes, he will invite Shen Sheng to study in the county school, and he will make steady progress in the future, and he will no longer be a problem. ”

Shen Yun smiled bitterly: "The county respects the good intentions, and the students understand it." However, when his father died at the beginning of his life, Shen Yun's filial piety period was not yet completed, how could he dare to move his heart to the eunuch. ”

"Lingzun?" Jiang Jimin exclaimed, recalling the brand-new spiritual position that he had ignored when he came in and glanced at it, and bowed to Shen Yun: "It's rude." ”

Then he walked out of the side room, bowed to Shen Shan's spiritual seat again, and then turned back to Shen Yun and said: "If the things in the world are really unsatisfactory, there are eight or nine unsatisfactory people." I originally wanted to invite Shen Sheng to study in the county and win some glory for my Chengji County in the coming year, but how could I expect such an unfortunate thing. ”

As he spoke, he took it out in his arms, took out a purse, shook it off about three taels of silver, grabbed Shen Yun's hand, and forced it into his hand despite Shen Yun's refusal: "I was in a hurry when I came, and I didn't bring any more money." With a little heart, please Shen Sheng's subordinates, I only hope that the more difficult it is, the more we must stick to the ambition of helping the people through the world. ”
