"Good news, congratulations to Mr. Chen of Qiantang, Yan Yu, the second place in the high school Zhejiang Township Examination. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Beijing News even appeared in Huangjia! Outside the door, the newspaper knocked on the gong and shouted.

With the voice, the door was already crowded with dense people, it's amazing, the second township test, this Chen Xiaolangjun is really powerful, those Qiantang County people outside the gate have already heard of Chen Yu, five vertical and five horizontal fish scales to control the pond, and the bottle melts gold, this incident has already made Chen Yu famous in Qiantang County.

There were even passers-by who shook their son in front of him and said excitedly: "Look at it, look at it, you must learn from Chen Tingyu in the future!" ”

Chen Dafu looked at the good news so stupidly, dumbfounded!

Looking at Chen Yu again, it is not much better, the second place, it turned out to be the second place, Chen Yu wanted to shout, but fortunately, Xie Yizhong on the side pulled Chen Yu and said: "The newspapers are waiting, you won't let the old brother pay for this money, right?" ”

Chen Yu saw Xie Yizhong and Dong Wenyu's ill-intentioned sneer, and then suddenly realized that these two guys may have already known their rankings, and deliberately didn't say anything and waited to see the joke!

Chen Dafu on the side was awakened by Xie Yizhong's words, and he said angrily: "Go, the newspapers are fifty taels each!" ”

When the newspapers heard Chen Dafu so generous, they couldn't close their mouths, and congratulated Chen Dafu vigorously, "Master Chen should be old and strong, and Master Chen is very smart and ......."

"You're mistaken, this is Chen Yu." Dong Wenyu kindly reminded Chen Dafu that he was blindly expressing excitement to Chen Dafu.

"Brother Tingyu, it's amazing!" Dong Wenyu congratulated: "But you have to be careful if you try it, I will definitely surpass you!" ”

After a while, Fan Dianshi pushed away the crowd with a few small officials, and he hurriedly arrived at the Chen family's mansion, and saw Chen Yu and said, "Congratulations to Master Chen High School, the county lord came to congratulate." ”

Now Fan Dianshi doesn't dare to call Chen Yu his nephew and uncle, and directly calls him Master Chen, symbolizing Chen Yu's transformation from a citizen to an official.

You must know that in the era of the Ming Dynasty, even if you can't get into the Jinshi, according to the identity of the lifter, you can completely "make up" in the provinces and counties to be a county order and other seven-grade petty officials, that is to say, once you are admitted to the lifter, then congratulations, you have officially become a member of the Ming officialdom.

Besides, according to Chen Yu's results, in the future, he will be admitted to the Jinshi, it will be a matter of time!

After that, the sedan chair of the newly appointed Huangcheng Huang County Commander had already arrived at the gate of Chen's mansion, and I saw Huang County Commander dressed in a public uniform, smiling, and came to Chen Dafu surrounded by several small officials, and congratulated: "Brother Chen has raised a good son for my Qiantang!" ”

Chen Dafu hurriedly knelt down and said, "Lord County, this is ...... I can't do it. But he was pulled up by Chen Yu.

Their current status is not under Huang County's order at all, there is no need to kneel for him, Chen Dafu realized his gaffe, and hurriedly said: "There is Lord Lao Huang to bother, it should be!" ”

At this moment, several small officials of the Hangzhou Mansion also came to the Chen Mansion with gilded invitations, "Congratulations to Master Xie, Master Chen, Master Dong, and Governor Yang sent the invitation, and tomorrow the banquet invites all high schools to attend the "Luming Banquet"! ”

After the official of Hangzhou Mansion spoke, he found that there were two young sons behind Chen Yu, and he couldn't help but wonder if he said, "These two? ”

"Xinke Xie Yuan, Xie Pi Xie Yizhong. The third place in the Asian Yuan, Dong Xi, Dong Wenyu. Chen Yu introduced to Lord Huang.

"Oops? When the son of Xie Ge Lao, Yuyao Xie Yizhong? Lord Huang hurriedly saluted and asked.

"Lord Huang is polite!" Xie Yizhong returned the salute.

Now the door is even more lively, the top three in the Zhejiang Township Test are all men in their twenties who have just established the crown? And the appearance of the three of them has been one by one, and they are very familiar with this!

Chen Dafu couldn't close his mouth with joy at this time, and hurriedly said to Steward Chen: "Quick, invite the tenants of the neighborhood, and set up a banquet in the house tomorrow!" ”

After Lord Huang congratulated him, after all, he still had official business, so he left in a sedan chair, and when all the outsiders at the gate of Chen's Mansion were gone, it was already close to the palm lamp.

Chen Dafu hung up the lanterns on the mansion, and the entire Chen Mansion, from the inside to the outside, was like day.

Early the next morning, the Chen Mansion was already very lively, Chen Yu washed up, put on a brand-new Confucian shirt prepared for him by Chen Dafu, and wore a flat square scarf on his head, looking at the young man with red lips and white teeth in the bronze mirror, Chen Yu actually had a sense of trance, and now Shen Can has really adapted to Chen Yu's identity.

According to historical records, the Luming Banquet originated in the Tang Dynasty, and it was a banquet held by the governor of the state government to celebrate the new imperial examination and the internal and external curtain officials, and the poem "Luming" was sung during the banquet.

It is said that this "deer" is "Lu", poor and talented, rich and rich, which means promotion and wealth, but if you directly say "Lu" is too worldly, so there is a "deer".

When he came to the Hangzhou Mansion, a small official led Chen Yu to the banquet place, and there were about one or two hundred people, and each position was full.

You won't be too late and there will be no place, right? Chen Yu said in his heart.

But it didn't take long for Chen Yu to know that he was thinking too much, but seeing that Chen Yu didn't know when he came to Chen Yu, who was embarrassed, he smiled and said, "Tingyu, you're doing a good job!" ”

"Teacher? Are you too? Chen Yu said suspiciously.

"Nonsense, how can the same examiner not be present?" Chen Yu said a word, Chen Yu and then said: "Do it with me, Master Mao wants to see you!" ”

After speaking, he led Chen Yu to a slightly larger table, and Chen Yu found that the table was all wearing black sand on his head, all kinds of patches on his chest, and soap boots, only Xie Yizhong and Dong Wenyu were exceptions.

Seeing that the two of them were looking at Chen Yu for help, it must be because they had never seen such a scene, so they couldn't help but be a little nervous.

Chen Yu, under the leadership of Chen Tixue, sat down in Dong Wenyu, he was in the lower position, and the one facing was just the main position, but he saw that an official wearing a green robe and a white pheasant on his chest and a silver flower on his waist was looking at him with a smile.

Chen Yu couldn't help but be a little curious, this person was wearing a green robe, but there were several officials in red robes around him, why did he sit on the main seat?

"Are you Chen Yu Chen Tingyu?" The man asked.

"Exactly the student!" Chen Yu replied respectfully, how could this guy's eyes be exactly the same as when Chen Yu looked at him when he took the entrance examination? Perverted!

"The rule of the world is Fang Long, and the rule of the gentleman is Gu...... Did you do it? The man asked.

"Exactly!" Chen Yu looked at Xie Yizhong and Dong Wenyu blankly, meaning that he also asked you so? The two of them understood and shook their heads separately.

"Hehe, have you read what I wrote?" The man asked, and then said, "Don't be surprised, I'm the examiner Mao Cheng." ”

Well, Chen Yu has indeed read all the articles of Hongzhi in the past few years, so the articles he has made also have the shadow of these people.

He finally knew now why this main position was done by Mao Cheng, and even Chen Yu and Yang Governor, who were wearing crimson, didn't dare to do it, of course they didn't dare to do it!

What do you want to say about the literati of the Ming Dynasty to see when they meet? Look at the birth! It's like Chen Yu and they are now lifting people, even if they sit on the third-grade and second-grade officials in the future, you still have to salute the Jinshi who was born in the two lists.

If they are all Jinshi born, then compare the years, for example, if you are a Jinshi in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, and someone is a Jinshi in the fifth year of Hongzhi, you still have to sit under it.

There is another kind of person whose status in the Ming Dynasty is the highest, this kind of person is called from the Hanlin Academy, called Shu Jishi!

This Mao Cheng is a first-class jinshi in the sixth year of Hongzhi, and he can also be called a champion. That is, it was awarded the Hanlin Academy for revision, and in the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, it was promoted to the right of the right spring fang.

Chen Yu happened to read his current text before the township exam.

"Back to the teacher, the student has indeed seen it, and there may be a reference in the exam, so that he can get lucky to win the second place in the Zhejiang Township Examination, and thank you to the teacher!" Chen Yu said.

"You did win the second place in the township test because of the reference, but it's not a fluke, it's a pity!" Mao Cheng said: "Originally, the article should have taken the first place, but you had the intention of taking advantage of the flattery, so this lowered the second place for you." ”

"Students know their mistakes!" Chen Yu said.

"Do you have something to say? Or is it a grievance? Mao Cheng asked.

"The student didn't, it was indeed borrowed from the teacher's text, and if it was wrong, it would be wrong, and the student would definitely not be like this when he took the exam next year." Chen Yu said.

A mistake is a mistake, Chen Yu never quibbles about anything, that will only make others look down on him.

Master Mao looked at Chen Yu and cast a hint of appreciation, this son will be of great use in the future.

Before the meal, one or two hundred people sang in unison: "Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild apples." I have guests, drummers and shengs. Blowing the sheng drum spring, bearing the basket is the will. People are kind to me, show me to walk around......"

At the end of the Luming banquet, Chen Yu was under Mao Cheng's command, although it was a bit like worshipping the dock, but I have to say that this is indeed worshipping the dock, from then on, Chen Yu has another layer of protection in his official career, he is like a fragile general, he is putting on armor little by little, and this armor will be the best protection for him in the officialdom in the future.

This kind of officialdom technique, Chen Yu has been playing it in his previous life, and now it is very easy to use.

At the end of the Luming banquet, Chen Yu asked Dong Wenyu and Xie Yizhong when they would return to the house, presumably the good news had also spread to Shaoxing and Yuyao, and the two main owners should also go back to report the good news.

The two said that they would set off from the dock in the evening, and the three of them made an appointment to go to Beijing together after the New Year, waved goodbye to Xie and Dong, and Chen Yu turned around and walked towards Chen's mansion.

When passing by Fengningfang, he saw a dispute at the door of the fang, Chen Yu didn't care much about it, but he found a few acquaintances, so he walked towards the door of the house.
