"A-Niang, I see that those two cousins are not very old, but they are only fifteen or sixteen years old?" Cheng Jin saw that Mrs. Cheng had nagged enough, so he asked the question in his heart.

Although the hot champion Lang Wen Shao'an is only sixteen years old, but such a person has been like this for so many years, and it is very rare for ordinary scholars to move at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

"It's not the time to go to Beijing to take the exam," Mrs. Cheng smiled contemptuously, "Just the old lady treats them as treasures, where are the two of them that kind of reading seeds?" Xiucai hasn't been admitted yet. ”

Mrs. Cheng is from a scholarly family, and her vision is naturally much higher than that of Mrs. Cheng, who was born in the countryside, and she doesn't look down on the Zhu family, the two fifteen or sixteen-year-old scholars who have not yet been admitted to the show, and Mrs. Cheng also knows that this daughter-in-law looks down on herself, although she usually doesn't bother to take care of things, but she is still willing to give face to the scholars from her mother's family.

Cheng Chan was also strange, "Then they don't prepare for the autumn festival in Ruyang, what are they going to do in the capital?" ”

"Ruyang County is a big county for the imperial examination, and there are many talented people, and the two of them didn't dare to take the exam in Ruyang, so they asked us to change their household registration to the capital and participate in the autumn festival in the capital." Mrs. Cheng sneered.

Cheng Chan and Cheng Jin were both happy, "The capital is full of talents, not to mention anything else, the prisoners in the Guozi Prison are all from big families, not to mention the famous teachers they have received over the years, that is, they have seen since childhood, how can they be compared to the scholars of a small county, they can't even pass the exam in Ruyang County, and they still want to compete with the talents of the capital?" ”

"That's it, last year's champion Lang is also from our capital."

"Although the capital is full of talents, there are more talents than Ruyang County, this time they put their household registration in Yingxian County on the outskirts of Beijing, although the population in that area is large, but most of them are farmers and merchants, there are very few scholars, but there are a lot of places, they are in Yingxian County, it is not difficult to show talents." Mrs. Cheng sighed, "For them, the middle show will be able to explain to their parents when they return to their hometowns, maybe they will be lucky, and they can lift people in a row, and then they will not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of their lives." ”

"The imperial court took the scholars, but let this kind of person take advantage of the loophole...... Cheng Qian shook her head and sighed, she was also secretly preparing for this year's autumn season, but she had never moved such a mind, since she wanted to take the exam, she would take the exam in a dignified manner, and if she didn't take the exam, she would admit that she was shallow in her studies, worthy of heaven and earth, and worthy of her conscience.

The imperial examination is a stepping stone to enter the office, the first step is crooked, and if you go down, I am afraid that you will not go anywhere.

"Listening to A-Niang's words, it doesn't seem difficult to change your household registration?" Cheng Jin asked with interest.

"Naturally, it's not a difficult matter, but it's just a matter of handing over a post to the county government." Mrs. Cheng said with a look of indifference, "Don't say that we are the Chengenhou Mansion, and other powerful people in Beijing have not done this kind of thing, I am afraid that even the officials in the county government have the right to change their household registration privately, and I am afraid that this year's candidates in the county are not local." ”

In fact, this is really not a big deal, although the candidate's household registration has been changed, but the exam or the test, into the examination room is to test the real kung fu skills, changing the household registration is just to improve the probability of the exam, if it is the hopeless straw bag, it is useless to change the household registration, and the people who do this kind of thing are actually not too many.

Mrs. Cheng didn't think too much, and Cheng Chan just felt that these people were not right, and they even exploited such loopholes, which was really too much.

"Liang Dianzhong set the conditions for changing the household registration early on, that is, if you want to change the household registration, you need to be personally approved by the county magistrate to use the seal, where is the turn to get those officials to change privately?" Cheng Jin's face gradually became serious, "If only a few silver coins can make these officials change their household registration privately, so that the chiefs ignore it, I am afraid that this official rule will soon be corrupted." I can change my household registration today, and tomorrow I can spend some money to create a fake identity? ”

Although Daliang is now peaceful and prosperous, it is not without undercurrents lurking under the surface of this auspicious music, and the barbarians in the north and south are all Daliang's henchmen.

"Don't underestimate these officials, the officials are much better than those scholars who were born in the imperial examination, Liang Dian stipulates one thing, and what they do is another, and they can always find loopholes for them to drill into the camp." Mrs. Cheng sighed, "This has nothing to do with you, just remember, if you deal with these officials in the future, you have to be more careful, be cautious, and don't offend at will." ”

The mother and daughter talked some more gossip, and when they saw that Mrs. Cheng's face was tired, the sisters took their leave.

"What do you mean by fake identity?" Mrs. Cheng doesn't care about things she doesn't care about, it doesn't mean that Cheng Chan doesn't pay attention.

"Although the world has been peaceful for a long time, the south and north are not peaceful, if there are so many loopholes in the capital to exploit, those barbarians may not take advantage of it."

Although those books always like to demonize the barbarians, saying that they have the blood of the demon clan and are born with hideous faces, but in fact, the barbarians look no different from the Great Liang people in the Central Plains.

These barbarians are actually the sinners of the Central Plains in ancient times, I don't know what crime they committed and were forced to leave their homeland to go to the bitter cold land in the north and the miasma in the south, although these barbarians have settled in the north and south for generations, but they have always been eyeing the Central Plains, thinking that one day they can enter the Central Plains and regain the land lost by their ancestors.

Whenever the Central Plains is in turmoil, the dynasty changes, the barbarians always have to come out to make waves, when Xiao Sheng claimed to be the king of Liang, he had won the world with the help of the power of the Southern Barbarians, and then treacherously, the Southern Barbarians were prevented to death, and the King of Qi stationed in the south over the years also slaughtered the Southern Barbarians, so the Southern Barbarians hated the Liang people to death.

Now it is a peaceful and prosperous era, the first emperor is enlightened, not only with the north and south of the trade market, but also promised the north and south barbarians can enter the Liang to do business, although the barbarians in the capital of the Liang are not many, but it is not nothing, this is still on the surface, I don't know how many in the secret.

Nowadays, the barbarians seem to maintain peace and friendship with the Central Plains on the surface, but with Cheng Jin's understanding of the barbarians, they will definitely not let go of their hatred so easily, and the so-called peace is also short-lived.

Cheng Chan was shocked, although she was a boudoir woman, she had also seen barbarians, and knew that if those barbarians took off their clothes and learned to speak the Central Plains dialect, they would be the same as ordinary Central Plains people, "If the identity and household registration are fake, we are afraid that we can't even figure out who the person in front of us is, not to mention anything else, just say that those tooth people in the tooth shop, I don't know how many people are sent to each family every day, if you really let those spies get mixed in, the consequences are really unimaginable." ”

"That's why the big families like to use their own families to have children," Cheng Jin sighed, "that is, people like us often go to Yaxing to find people." ”
