In April, Huang Chenghao moved to Fujian, but he did not return home in the same year, and he was limited to June. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Zhou Jin had no choice but to send his mother-in-law back to Nanchang. When he returned to Lushan, Huang Chenghao took out a list of twenty questions. Huang Chenghao told Zhou Jin that this was the first test question of the township test he had prepared after his relationship with Ma Shiqi, and he must do a good job and memorize it. For the current discussion of cases and other sessions, Zhou Jin's level is already very high, and there is no need to prepare for the question.

In the blink of an eye, July has arrived, because Jiujiang is only a day or two away from Nanchang waterway, so the students in the academy are not in a hurry to go to Nanchang, but send someone to rent a house in advance, and only go to the fifth day of August, and rest until the eighth day of the first month to enter directly, so as to save money, and not to be disturbed by the atmosphere of Nanchang Mansion.

Zhou Jin's accommodation problem naturally doesn't need him to worry about, so many businesses in Zhou's house are in Nanchang, and there is naturally no shortage of houses. In order to be foolproof, Zhou Pan also deliberately sent the chief housekeeper Zhou Qing to check the arrangement.

As the time approached, the atmosphere of the examination in the college became more and more intense. Everyone is gritting their teeth and holding books, and the laughter of the past, drinking tea and commenting on the country, is gone. The entire academy was enveloped in a solemn atmosphere.

This atmosphere made Zhou Jin and Sun Shan very uncomfortable, and for more than a month, the academy would not give lectures, so the two no longer went to the academy and concentrated on studying in the courtyard of the Zhou Mansion.

On July 15, Zhou Tong came to the newspaper, saying that Kang Xinmin, a classmate of Zhou Jin College, had come to visit. Zhou Jin felt strange in his heart, he didn't know why he came to visit, invited him into the house, and asked, "Why did Brother Weixin come to visit?" ”

Kang Xinmin didn't drink tea either, and said anxiously: "I heard Wang Chong say just now that I want to report to Xuezheng before the exam about taking your two wives, so that you can't enter the autumn festival." ”

At this time, Sun Shan, who learned that his classmates were visiting, entered the room and said angrily: "This Wang Chong is not finished yet? Go find him! ”

Zhou Jin was also very unhappy, he was made by that kid when he greeted him last time, but he didn't expect him to take advantage of it, and he actually wanted to come once, so he had to teach him a lesson. I was trying to call someone, but I thought about it, I can't fight at this time, and it's not good for me to make a big fuss.

Zhou Jin took a deep breath and said, "Let's go, go to him and see what he says." ”

Zhou Jin is in the academy and the school, and there are only a few classmates who have a good relationship. On the contrary, because of their good family conditions, the classmates are not close to them, and they are just general friends. This Kang Xinmin turned out to be one of them, his family was poor, his father died, his mother was sick, and his son was young, and he was even more reluctant to befriend a son like Zhou Jin. Zhou Jin didn't want him to leave the academy, so he wanted to help. Direct charity, of course, Kang Xinmin will not accept it, but it will have side effects.

So Zhou Jin said: "This money is not for you, it is borrowed from you." You've got to make a note. ”

Kang Xinmin said: "Why should I borrow your money? ”

"Because you can't borrow money from other people! Only I can lend you money to get through this. You have to think about your seriously ill old mother and your two-year-old child. You can't bear to give up on them and give up your studies? ”

Kang Xinmin was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "I don't have anything to mortgage. If you can't repay it in a year or two, you may never pay it back. ”

Zhou Jin pretended to be an evil young man and said, "It is said that your wife looks pretty good. Hey! ”

"You bastard! Don't you think! I don't borrow it! ”

Zhou Jin smiled and said, "Haha, just kidding, I don't want your wife." If you are unable to pay, you will be repaid. ”

Kang Xinmin also reacted, this week Jin couldn't be teasing himself, and said angrily: "You don't talk nonsense, what do you want?" Say. ”

Zhou Jin said: "I have already said it, it is you." I have a big business now, and there are few people in my family who read, especially when I enter the officialdom in the future, I need to read even more, so I fell in love with you. ”

Zhou Tong on the side came over and said, "Young master, I have read books, what kind of scribe, I will do it too." ”

"Fuck off!"

"Are you sure I won't pass the test?"

"It's just a reservation, it's naturally good if you are selected, but if you are not selected, I won't earn it."

Kang Xinmin was also anxious, and immediately said: "Okay, I'll make a note!" After saying that, he began to write, and then asked, "How much?" ”

"I'm not a lending, it's mainly for you, so it's five percent."

Kang Xinmin glanced at Zhou Jin, did not speak, continued to write the note, then signed and sealed, and handed it to Zhou Jin. After Zhou Jin saw it, he instructed Zhou Daodao: "Give him the money." Let's go! ”

With Zhou Jin's money, Kang Xinmin's life has taken a big turn for the better, his life has become much more comfortable, and his mother's illness has also been alleviated. It's just that his life is inevitably frugal, and his daily diet is very simple. Because of dietary problems, he was kicked by Zhou Jin: "Kang Xinmin, do you want to pay the bill?" ”

Kang Xinmin said inexplicably: "When did I want to repay the debt." ”

"If you eat this kind of food, you will not die or be disabled, if you can't do it, who will you ask me to ask for an account? Could it be that you still want me to support your wife? Remember, half of your property belongs to me. If you don't have any money, I can lend you again, anyway, with you signing an IOU, the mortgage will not change, and you don't have to care about borrowing more. ”

Kang Xinmin looked at a bowl of white water and a bowl of brown rice on the table, and he had no land. The atmosphere was very awkward, and after Zhou Jin told him to remember it again, he left as if nothing had happened. Everyone in the audience saw that there was nothing to do, and they all left one after another, but it was a loan dispute, and no one talked about it. Since then, Kang Xinmin's diet has been much better.

After a long time, Kang Xinmin realized Zhou Jin's original intention, and although he lost face, he kept his mind. It's nothing for a husband to be humiliated, but he is not a gentleman if he loses his mind. So he had a much better opinion of Zhou Jin, but he wouldn't take the initiative to please.

Today's events are related to the future, so Kang Xinmin did not hesitate to come to report the news.

The three of them came to the academy and found Wang Chong and a few others who were studying in the middle school. Entering the pavilion, everyone's eyes were attracted by Zhou Jin and the others. Everyone knew that Wang Chong and Zhou Jin had a tense relationship, and someone immediately asked, "Zhou Jin, what do you want to do?" ”

Zhou came in and asked Wang Chong, "Wang Chong, do I have a grudge with you for killing my father, taking my wife, and hiding my debts?" ”

Wang Chong said: "No." ”

"Then why do you keep bothering me?"

"It's just that you don't like it!"

"Because of this, you want to fight with me to the death? Are you dead or dead? ”

Two people who have been classmates for seven or eight years, it is normal to have conflicts, and almost all of them are petty fights. wants people's lives, but they never thought that the two families lived here, and there were countless relatives and friends. What's more, Jiujiang City is not big, and there will always be a meeting, and it is not good for anyone to kill if they meet. At least the face is still very kind, Wang Chong also knows Zhou's intentions, but he can't lose the battle, and said, "What's the matter with you?" I didn't provoke you, why are you here to shout and kill? ”

Sun Shirt said: "Don't pretend to be confused! We already know that you are planning to sue Renda's second wife. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing your parents, and if you want to make a decision about your future, it will naturally be a generational hatred. ”

Wang Chong looked at Kang Xinmin and knew that he was not pretending to be confused, and since this matter had already happened, he gave up like this, and he couldn't get over his face, so he said: "He disturbed the patriarchal law and violated the law of the Ming Dynasty." Why not, I tell you. ”

Zhou Jin said with a smile: "According to the law of Da Ming, I will be hit by a few boards." What's more, it's been more than a year since this happened, and I've visited the academic master several times, so wouldn't he know? Is your denunciation really useful to me? In addition, everyone knows that you have already taken seven or eight concubines, and according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you have to be punished. Do you want us to file a complaint with the University of Political Affairs? ”

Wang Chong thought to himself, if this matter is more serious, he will not be able to please himself, he will be punished with a few boards, and he will take the exam like this. What's more, Zhou Jinjin's wives are concerned about their, but they have nothing to do, and there is no need to make it outweigh the losses. But at this time, so many people looked at it, and they gave up, and what face did they have, and said stubbornly: "Don't threaten me with this matter!" ”

Zhou Jin seemed to know what Wang Chong was thinking: "We can make a deal, I won't report you, you don't report me, that's it." In addition, the impact of my incident is indeed not good, so I would like to set up a drink this evening to comfort you. Please don't postpone it. ”

Wang Chong felt that this step was okay, so he said: "Since Renda's attitude is sincere, I don't want to stop everyone from eating." That's it. ”

When everyone saw Zhou Jin's invitation, they said: "Yes, it's not a big deal to take two wives, and it doesn't affect the concubines." You don't have to dwell on it. In ancient times, there was also a code of empress and daughter, which did not hurt the elegance. ”

Although there were several twists and turns in this matter, fortunately, it did not have much impact. There are very few laws that can be respected in the late Ming Dynasty, and the matter of concubines killing wives often happens, not to mention this kind of harmless and innocuous family affairs of others that the people do not raise officials and do not correct, people will not care about it. Most of the reports to the officials are returned to the family for the patriarch to dispose of.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jin couldn't help but think of the bigamy cases that occurred in modern times, many of which were sentenced after receiving marriage certificates and being denounced by the woman, and his marital status was dissolved.

In the evening, a banquet was held to entertain the students who were still in the academy, and everyone was relaxed at this tense time, so they had a very happy time, and it was not over until the middle of the day. The college also hopes that the students can relax and relax, not too tight, so there is no obstruction, but only restricts everyone from drinking and overeating to prevent accidents.

At the end of July, under the holy decree, Ma Shiqi was the main examiner of the 12-year Chongzhen Ke Township Examination. A few days later, the head of the White Deer Cave Academy was actually admitted to Nanchang as the marking officer.

On the fifth day of August, more than 20 students of the academy rented a large boat and went to Nanchang Mansion. On the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, I entered Nanchang Mansion, and 15 of the more than 20 people stayed in the same hotel. Only Zhou Jin and Wang Chong do not need to live in hotels, but have houses.

On the seventh day of the first month, everyone rested behind closed doors. At the beginning of the next day, five or six thousand candidates from Nanchang City who came to participate in the township examination left the station and rushed to the Jiangxi Gongyuan. When Zhou Jin, Sun Shan and the others arrived, the square was already full of people. There were officers and soldiers holding signs of various prefectures at the gate of the Gongyuan to call candidates to line up to prevent chaos.

Before the time, Zhou Jin and others entered the gate after verifying, undressed and searched, and then took the number and entered the examination room. Entering his own house, Zhou Jin put away his belongings, drank a small amount of water to moisten his throat, then sat upright on the table, closed his eyes and recuperated for a while, his head and body were clear, and he began to think back to the articles and classics.

At night, I only ate some pastries prepared by Li Yu, walked around, and then fell asleep.

On the ninth day of the next day, the first session officially began, and seven questions were sent out, three of which were selected from the Analects, the Mean, and Mencius. It needs to be completed in full 11 days by the 11th. Zhou Jin first reviewed the topic, and then listed the outline of the ideas on the draft, and began to compose after the ideas were clear.
