"Hey, that's weird." The master shook his head and came out: "Da Wenheng has a book for the examination in different places. It's strange that only one person is being tested. ”

The young man in the second official said quickly, "There is something even more strange." ”

Everyone showed curiosity, but he refused to say anything.

Shen Benjing stepped forward and opened the way, and the old man said: "It was the great master who got a strange book, and I appreciated it, and I learned that it was written by Xu Yuanzuo, a child in Huating County, so I issued a license to take the exam." ”

Everyone exclaimed, and then looked at Xu Yuanzuo standing in the middle of the crowd, he was simply radiant, and the star monarch was like a mortal.

"Oh, I see." Xu Yuanzuo responded, knowing that this time it was either Qingyun straight up, or he was beaten back to his original form, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

"Why is it the old man in Zhejiang?" Someone asked in a low voice, but many people listened to it, just as curious.

Xu Yuanzuo laughed in his heart: I, an outsider, know it, but you locals are so ignorant?

However, it is probably common to think that there are people in later generations who can't distinguish between various administrative relationships.

The master, who was a good teacher, got the opportunity and explained at the moment: "My Nanzhili is not a province, and there are six departments above each prefecture. Since there are no three divisions, who should handle the various general affairs? Naturally, it is distributed nearby: Taicang Road, Yingzhou Road, and Xuzhou Road, which are managed by Shandong; Susong Road, Caochu Road, and Changzhen Road are managed by Zhejiang; Lufeng Road, Huining Road, Chitai Road, Huaiyang Road, by Jiangxi, Huguang Belt Management. ”

Only then did everyone understand, and they secretly said: The business of a scholar is complicated.

Xu Yuanzuo was not worried that this great grandmaster would overstep his authority, he had long known that at the end of April, the grandmaster would go to Songjiang to preside over the imperial examination, that is, the Taoist examination. Only by passing this exam can you truly have the qualifications for admission. After becoming a student, he can be regarded as entering the class of scholars and doctors in the Ming Dynasty.

But why rush to recruit yourself to Shaoxing to take the exam?

Although the power of "Kindergarten Transcription" is great, it is not so great.

"Since Da Wenheng values it so much. It's time to leave as soon as possible and go to Shaoxing. Old lady Shen came out and made a final decision, and her words were quite proud, obviously because her grandson had added glory to him.

"I happen to have a boat going to Hangzhou tomorrow, so I might as well take my boat." Someone recommended himself, obviously trying to taint some literary atmosphere. It's good to make friends with the Shen family.

However, the Shen family is also used to walking on the front line of Zhoushan, and it is easier to go to Shaoxing. Sea vessels should bypass Nanhuijiao, follow the coastline to enter Hangzhou Bay, change river boats at the mouth of the Cao'e River, and go directly to Shaoxing.

Old lady Shen said: "My own grandson went to the exam, why do you need to work for you?" My house is empty, so I'll send him there tomorrow. He said to Xu Yuanzuo again: "The kid must be careful and attentive, and if he does well in the exam, he will also make your mother's face shine." As for the servants. You don't have to worry about the pen and ink in the study, you have your own ready-made at home. ”

Xu Yuanzuo saluted his grandfather and said, "The kid knows everything." ”

When the two men heard this, they knew that they could also take a boat back, and they saved the travel expenses, and they were happy.

Shen Yujun looked at Xu Yuanzuo again, and said secretly in his heart: I thought he would follow the uncle who didn't grow up. Who knew that there was still some talent, but I underestimated him. I should go talk to my aunt.

Think of it. Shen Yujun withdrew and went to the back house, and broke into the women's family in men's clothes. Fortunately, many female relatives are either clan relatives or old ones, and they know that the girls of the Shen family are good at dressing up as men, so they don't think it's strange.

It just so happened that Old Lady Shen asked, "What's noisy outside?" I heard that there was an official errand? ”

Shen Yujun said: "It was the old man of Zhejiang who asked your grandson to go to Shaoxing for the exam, saying that he had written a strange book." ”

Xu Mu Yile: "It turns out that the book is so precious that even Zhejiang's mention of learning has been shocked." ”

Most of the women are in the boudoir. I don't know what is going on outside, Shen Yujun is now learning and selling, and said about the various belt management systems, and said: "The old man was going to Songjiang Mansion, but he read a strange book. I couldn't bear it, so I hurriedly called Yuan Zuo's younger brother over, thinking that the expectations must be extremely high. ”

The women immediately began to compliment Xu Shen, and then turned to flatter Mrs. Shen.

Although Mrs. Shen didn't like this concubine - to be precise, she just disliked her as a girl, not a dislike. Now this concubine's son is quite promising, and he can be favored by the grandmaster at a young age, and even if he is a person in the future, it will be a great event. Looking at the boundless flattery of everyone, she was so relieved to hear that she even looked at the concubine a lot more pleasing to the eye.

"You can stay here for a few more days, and then go together when your grandson comes back from the exam." The old lady was happy for a while, and said with a smile.

Xu Shen's biological mother died in childbirth, she regarded the old lady as her mother since she was a child, and she was even more happy when she heard the words, and she obeyed her orders.

Shen Yujun volunteered to personally command the big ship tomorrow and send his younger brother to Shaoxing, which would not be very risky.

Mother Xu didn't know that Shen Yujun didn't actually have the ability to steer the sails, so she just gave orders, but she felt much safer for no reason.

After the feast was dispersed that day, Mrs. Shen sent two maids to serve her concubine, and the treatment of her two sons was the same.

Xu Yuanzuo didn't care about the two extra maids who suddenly appeared, but seized the time to consolidate his knowledge of Bagu Wen. took the teacher's modified model essays, and copied two more by himself, considering them word by word. Don't dare to sleep too late at night, in case you get sick at sea, you will be in trouble.

Although you sail near the sea, it doesn't mean that you can just find a place to go ashore.

From Shanghai to Chongming, you can see that there has been a river. From Chongming to Shaoxing, it is Zheng'er Bajing who is going to sea.

When it was dawn, Xu Yuanzuo said goodbye to his mother and younger brother, and followed Shen Yujun to Shen's port, but it was the first time in his previous life and this life that he saw such a huge wooden sailing ship, and he was shocked on the spot.

"Such a big ship...... Xu Yuanzuo has seen diesel-powered fishing boats and taken the yachts of successful people, but this big ship, which is widely called a "building boat", has completely subverted Xu Yuanzuo's concept of "a weak country with sea power".

"It's just four hundred ships, it's nothing." Shen Yujun walked up to Xu Yuanzuo and said disdainfully: "My family has a bigger boat, but I just went to Zhoushan." ”

It's April, and the wind starts in May, so it's the time to go east to Japan. This is now the time when the ship gangs are doing their best to transport the goods of the maritime traders to the various ports. The Shen family's idle boats are probably reserved for emergency preparedness, and they may not have no business.

Xu Yuanzuo got on the boat while estimating the size in his mind. He was originally a liberal arts student with too much talent and was not very sensitive to weights and measures, but with the talent of Rain Man, he could calculate that the ship was nearly thirty meters long with a simple addition.

The group got on the firewood boat, and then turned to board the big ship, which was nothing in Shen Yujun's eyes. (To be continued......)
