Shen Yun almost gritted his teeth and spent the night.

Tossing and turning was just an illusory dream, because the four words he had written down were deep in his back at this time. Chongwen and morality will become a mark that will accompany him all his life.

When the labor pains of the flesh and skin washed away those cranky thoughts like a tide, there was only one thought left in my mind, that is, I want to be a jinshi.

It's just that Shen Yun still doesn't want Shen's mother to beg others anymore, because he knows that it's useless. Thousands of years of habits have made the concept of seeking stability in everything deeply rooted in the hearts of these villagers.

One sentence is not afraid of 10,000, but in case, the road of the guarantor will be completely blocked.

If Zhang Yan will leave this year, then he will have to wait for another three years. However, with Zhang Yan's actions, it is basically impossible to be transferred. If you can't get ahead, then you will really be completely suppressed by Shen Xi.

I didn't sleep all night, but after waking up in the morning, the sky was still gloomy, like a cloud in Shen Yun's heart.

Shen's mother was about to go out, but was stopped by Shen Yun: "A-Niang, don't go today." Even if you ask them, you will probably be rejected eventually. After all, everyone has to think about their livelihood. ”

"So what do you say?" Shen's mother was obviously a little anxious, and Shen Yun's words made her tremble a little.

Shen Yun frowned, but finally spoke: "Today, I will go to the county seat again and ask Uncle Quan to see if there is any other way." ”

The reason why I thought of this, first of all, Shen Yun only had a superficial understanding of the imperial examination, not familiarity. And the former master of the Fan Mansion, who was a big man who had presided over several imperial examinations, Uncle Quan knew more than he knew if he didn't fully understand it.

Furthermore, if possible, I will ask Uncle Quan for help at that time.

Shen Mu nodded. She already knew the identity of Uncle Quan through Shen Yun's mouth, Fan Xianggong's reputation in the northwest was like that of a god, and there are still people who set up his tablet.

With a little blind trust, Shen's mother instructed: "After you go, don't make it difficult for the nobles, it's really not good, it's really not good, A-Niang gave up her face and begged them to let you go this time." ”

Shen's mother's words made Shen Yun's heart heavy, nodded, stopped talking, and walked straight out of the door.

For Shen Yun's visit, Uncle Quan was a little surprised.

After all, the release test is imminent, and none of those candidates have pushed back to socializing and concentrated on studying the scriptures at home.

However, surprise is surprise, lead Shen Yun into the house, pour tea, and then ask, "Where did Shen Sheng come from today?" ”

"I came here today to ask Uncle Quan about something."

"Oh?" It was rare for Shen Yun to take the initiative to ask him for help, Uncle Quan raised his eyebrows, and asked with interest: "But what's the matter, you can tell me about it, if the old man understands, he will tell you everything." ”

Before the mouth, it was a little difficult to speak. But in the end, the urgency of the scientific expedition still overcame the hesitation in his heart: "Uncle Quan also knows that I have a disagreement with those uncles, and now the county has released a word, if there are neighbors in the village who guarantee me, they will want them to look good." ”

"Bastard." Uncle Quan slapped the table hard, startling Shen Yun.

Seeing that his actions frightened Shen Yun, Uncle Quan said slightly apologetically: "This Zhang Yan is really a bastard. Scientific research is a major national event, and it is not possible to allow such a small person to interfere indiscriminately. It's really hateful. ”

The kid was naturally unconvinced, but at this time, he was waiting for word of mouth, and there was no evidence at all, even if he wanted to appeal to the state capital, it was to no avail. After thinking hard, I came to Uncle Quan and asked for a perfect solution. ”

"You've got the right person. At the beginning, the old man presided over many times from the release test to the provincial test. Although you can't go home during the scientific expedition, you will come back after the end of the expedition and tell a few sons about the rules of the scientific expedition. ”

Uncle Quan dissipated his anger, fell into memories, and thought for a long time before he smiled and said to Shen Yun: "Do you know that this release test actually doesn't have to be guaranteed by ten people. ”

"Oh?" Shen Yun was instantly overjoyed. Then he fell into a burst of frustration: "In this case, I haven't heard of anyone who doesn't use ten people as a guarantee for so many years, and it must be extremely difficult to come up with other ways." ”

"Haha, this is you're lonely. In fact, it can be regarded as a method that everyone knows in their hearts but does not declare. The first is the recommendation of official schools. As you know, students who enter government schools will be taken care of to some extent. ”

Shen Yun nodded. This is almost the same as the college entrance examination and adult college entrance examination in later generations.

It's just that he is now a white body, and it is too late to enter the official school, and everyone recruits students after the scientific examination.

As for the other one, it is a person with official status as a guarantee or recommendation. This road will inevitably be related to the guarantor in the future, and it will inevitably suffer twists and turns in the future career, so it will not be respected. ”

Shen Yun finally smiled bitterly.

"Uncle Quan, I'm afraid these methods are out of reach for me."

Uncle Quan shook his head.

"Actually, there is still a way to go. It's just that you have to think clearly. ”

Saying this, Uncle Quan's expression was also a little solemn, and his eyes looking at Shen Yun were also a little stern: "Now that Prime Minister Wang is participating in political affairs, he proposed to change the law in February and set up three departments and regulations. In April, he inspected the farmland and water conservancy taxes in the state capitals. What are your thoughts on this matter? ”

Uncle Quan's question is almost an examination of Shen Yun's position.

Shen Yun thought about it carefully, carefully weaved the vocabulary, and then said: "The country is weak and poor, and it needs to change the law, but now that Wang Xianggong is acting, it has a bit of a fire smell, and I am afraid that it will turn the world upside down." ”

And he has a stubborn personality, and he is a bit cronyistic, but he ignores the virtues of these people. Once the prince is not in the court, he is afraid that he will die. ”

Uncle Quan smiled: "You are a vain minister, if you let people listen, I am afraid that this life will end up without an end." ”

Shen Yun smiled: "Uncle Quan has been with Fan Xianggong, when you know how difficult this road is, any omission will be lost." I just didn't end up, but I still won't change my words. ”

"Then, in your words, it is right to change the law, but the method is wrong, what should I do?"

"Eat at it."

Nibbled? Uncle Quan was stunned, and then burst out laughing. Yes, the old-fashioned forces are deep-rooted, and if the change is too drastic, the backlash will be very strong, this was the case with Fan Zhongyan at the beginning, Rao is Renzong, and he can only send him to Jiangnan to avoid trouble. Pull out another Wen Yanbo to turn the tide.

And the method of Wen Tun, although it will take a little longer, but in the end, as long as you persist, you can finally get the desired result.

That's a wonderful word. Alas, the eldest son of the family doesn't approve of Wang Xianggong doing this too much now, but the official family appreciates Wang Xianggong very much, so he can only make a side note. ”

The discussion of the new policy ended here, and Uncle Quan said to Shen Yun at this time: "The person I can introduce to you is a little opposed to the prince changing the law, so he is not loved by the official family, so he came to Qinzhou." If you get his recommendation, you can take the test, but the road ahead will be difficult. ”

Shen Yun thought about it, and suddenly remembered who Uncle Quan was talking about.

In addition to the prefect Lu Xu, who has not been here for a long time, who else?

"When he knew Yanzhou that day, he also received the favor of the master, if I wrote a letter in the name of the little master, I think he would not refuse. Lu Xu, this person, when he was young, also had some courage, but now, alas, he is more or less old and his heart is small. ”

Hearing that Uncle Quan was going to pretend to be the son of the Fan family, Shen Yun was a little panicked: "Uncle Quan, this can't be helped, if you hurt the relationship between your old man and the main family because of this, won't it make Shen Yun's conscience uneasy." ”

When Uncle Quan heard Shen Yun's words, he burst out laughing.

"Don't worry. The little boy takes good care of you, if I send what you said today to Jingshi, I am afraid that he will take leave to see you. In that case, it is better for me to send you to Jingshi. ”

nodded, and continued: "Don't worry, I will tell the little boy the truth, although it is a bit unruly, but I think the little boy will understand." ”

After Uncle Quan finished speaking, he took Shen Yun to the study, hurriedly wrote the letter, and handed it to Shen Yun, and then carefully instructed: "Lu Futai has also seen my handwriting, I think he will give the little boy this face, but next, it will be up to you." ”

Shen Yun understood that Uncle Quan was going all out, and he had passed the Liberation Test, and even passed the Provincial Examination.

Feeling this heavy kindness, Shen Yun solemnly bowed to Uncle Quan for a while.

Walking out of Fan's Mansion, Shen Yun held this heavy letter in his hand, and his heart was full of emotion.
