Chapter 10 The Grace of the County
People are preconceived, not to mention this kind of cognition that is deduced step by step by oneself. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"This old master Liu is really confused!"
Wu Xianling rubbed the corners of his forehead, and sighed to himself: "But don't be too discouraged, don't say that your article is in Yuyao, even if it is placed in the whole Shaoxing, it is one of the best among children." After a pause, Wu Xianling flicked his finger and said, "Since you have already followed the Confucian teachings to study, you naturally don't need to take care of Old Master Liu's affairs. As for that Sun Ruoxu, who is just a mediocre talent above the top, Xiansheng doesn't have to care. ”
Xie Shen was overjoyed! This is the slap in the face he wants. No matter how Sun Ruoxu says it, he is also from the Candle Lake Sun family, one of the major families in Yuyao. A family of poets and calligraphers like this has a strong influence in the local area, and even Wu County Ling does not dare to directly confront it head-on. But there is one thing that these families can't control, and that is the county test! The examiner of the county examination is the county order, and the questioners are all county lords.
Now Wu Xianling has a sense of disgust for Sun Ruoxu, and the disgust is so strong. Xie Shen was already sure that Sun Ruoxu's future was over.
Although a family like Sun Ruoxu has a little ink in his stomach, it is a typical bottle that is less than half a bottle. Once it is despised by Wu County, the supreme ruler of the county, there is no future at all. Even if Wu County Order looks at the face of the Sun family and puts Sun Ruoxu in the county test list, it will be a very poor ranking. The number of students admitted to the prefectural examination is large, and compared to other levels of the examination, it can only be regarded as an entry-level screening examination. If you don't get a good ranking in this kind of exam, it is natural that you will be considered a lack of strength.
Therefore, even if Sun Ruoxu can participate in the government examination, he will be brushed. On the contrary, Xie Shen's situation is much better. Now he has left the impression of a prodigy in Wu Xianling's heart, which can be described as a spring breeze. As long as you plan carefully, and then make a surprise attack on Shiwen, it is not impossible to get the head of the county trial. Once he gets the head of the county test, he will be escorted to get the fame of Xiucai, which is enough to change his fate for Xie Shen.
A child of a poor family like him, who has obtained the fame of Xiucai, is equivalent to stepping into the gentry circle with one foot, not only can he be exempted from the family forced labor and taxes, but also enjoy many privileges.
With fame, it is not so difficult to continue to struggle on the road of the imperial examination, at least there is relative fairness.
If you have revenge, you don't have a gentleman, but you have to pay attention to a skill when you take revenge. Of course, Xie Shen would not be stupid enough to hope that Wu Xianling would arrest Sun Ruoxu in anger and beat him up, cutting off Sun Ruoxu's fame was obviously more difficult for him to accept than killing him. Isn't this Sun Ruoxu proud, Xie Shen educated him well, this face is really cool.
Wu Xian Ling said a few words of exhortation and left.
Xie Shen sighed and walked out of the lobby.
When he walked out of the gate of the county office, he found that his eldest brother Xie Fang and sister-in-law Xie Chen had been waiting outside the county office for a long time.
"Xiaolang, are you okay?"
Xie Fang hurriedly pulled Xie Shen over, looked up and down, and was relieved to see that there were indeed no obvious flesh injuries.
"We don't rent this house, I found a good bamboo building in the south of the city, and it only costs two dollars a year. It's a little shabby, but it's big. Let's move there! ”
Xie Fang was also angry, in his opinion, Xie Shen was his hope, and he would never tolerate Xie Shen mistaking his fame for this reason.
Xie Chen, who was on the side, also said: "Yes, Xiaolang, the Sun family has a big business, we can't afford to mess with it." Let's move to another house. ”
Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials. The Candle Lake Sun family has produced so many jinshi, and it is a wealthy family in Yuyao. In Xie Fang's opinion, fighting with such a big family is looking for death.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, you don't have to worry. The county zun has already severely punished the evil slave, and his old man also praised Shen'er a few words, and he wants to recommend Shen'er to follow the teachings of Old Kong. ”
At this time, Xie Fang was a little confused.
Confucian teachings? What kind of official is this? Could it be that he is more knowledgeable than Old Master Yao?
Old Master Yao has to be bound by money all year round, this Confucian Sect won't charge more, right?
Although Xie Fang didn't feel distressed about spending more money for this younger brother, they were not a family after all, and it was better not to spend the money that they could not spend.
"Confucius is the chief official of the county school."
Xie Shen made his words a little clearer, and now Xie Fang was very happy.
The head of the county school, the future of this master's own Xiaolang will be guaranteed.
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go and meet this Confucian magistrate."
Xie Shen was helpless for a while, and said with a wry smile: "The county has not informed the Confucian county of this matter, and I don't even know who I am when I go to the Confucian county now." ”
Xie Fang scratched his head and smiled brightly: "That's the same." ”
"But this house can't be rented, it's not because I'm afraid of the Sun family." After a slight pause, Xie Shen hesitated: "If you move to the bamboo building in the south of the city, it will be much farther for you to go to the tea shop, eldest brother." ”
Originally, the reason why Xie Fang rented the Sun family's house must have considered this factor, after all, the tea shop and the residence are separated by a street, which is very convenient.
"You don't have to worry about this, as long as Xiaolang is convenient for you, your sister-in-law and I will be at ease."
......
......
Moving to a new home is a festive event, even though it looks a little shabby.
The bamboo building has two floors, and the area is indeed much larger than the original cross-courtyard. The first floor is reserved for the eldest brother Xie Fang and sister-in-law to live, and the second floor is Xie Shen's study and bedroom. There were two windows open on the street, there was no problem with lighting, Xie Shen sat on a round bench and looked at the bustling flow of people outside the bamboo building, and sighed.
It turns out that making a living in ancient times was not as simple as I imagined, and I could even read so many ways by reading.
Fortunately, Xie Shen finally got acquainted with Wu Xianling by accident, leaving him with a pretty good impression.
As for how far we can go in the future, we have to rely more on ourselves.
Xie Shen held a copy of "Mencius" and looked at it boringly, but in his heart he was thinking about the direction of history. This year is the fifth year of Hongzhi, Wang Yangming should not have participated in the township test, and this big Buddha is estimated to be unable to climb for the time being. As for Xie Qian, he should be doing preparatory training in Beijing, and he will enter the cabinet after a few years of training. It doesn't seem too late to hug your thighs?
Li Gongmou, Liu Gongju, Xie Gongyou Kankan.
Mingren's evaluation of these three virtuous ministers is very pertinent, and it can be seen that Xie Qian's communication skills are very strong, and it will not be too bad to follow such a strong man.
Just when Xie Shen was imagining the fugue, a county official shouted downstairs: "Can the Xie family Xiaolang be upstairs?" ”
Xie Shen was excited, and hurriedly said, "The kid is upstairs." ”
The man said, "That's fine." A certain was ordered by the county to take you to Sanwei Academy to study and meet with Confucius. ”
Xie Shen had been waiting for this matter for a long time, and he was very happy in his heart.
"Please wait a moment, boy, come down."
Hurriedly put the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and a few scripture notes into the cloth bag, and Xie Shen went downstairs.
It is not a good practice to make the public of the yamen wait for a long time, Xie Shenfang arched his hand at the official as soon as he got downstairs and said, "Please also ask the public to guide the way." ”
