On the other hand, Yichun Mansion, although dozens of talents are admitted every three or five times, but when they really go to the township test, almost the whole army is wiped out every year, and the vast majority of all the lifting places are occupied by Ji'an's test masters.

The situation here in Zhejiang is roughly the same, although Hangzhou's Xiucai did not cover the sky with one hand, and several other prefectures are also places where the literary style is at its peak, and Hangzhou Mansion is not allowed to do so, but it is difficult for Ningbo's Xiucai to come out in the township test.

Just like the township examination in the previous subject, a total of 122 people were admitted, and as a result, more than 30 people were admitted to Xiucai in Hangzhou, in addition, Jiaxing, Huzhou, Hengzhou, Shaoxing and other prefectures took more than 70 places, and the remaining seven or eight prefectures added up to only a dozen high schools.

It's no wonder that the third uncle doesn't look down on Ningbo's talent very much, it's not worth it. This is just like the later generations, some areas have 600% universities, and some have 400%, and unfortunately, Ye Chunqiu belongs to that kind of 400% area, it seems that it is easy to show off talent and fame, but it is not immune to being despised.

The third uncle said, paused, and then said: "Okay, that's it, you go to live first, so that you can prepare for the exam." ”

Ye Jingwei said yes, and led Ye Chunqiu to retreat.

Ye Chunqiu was very depressed, he knew that if he mentioned anything about moving out at this time, his father would definitely not agree, so he simply didn't say anything, he lived here, but it was all for the face of this clan, it was weird to think about it, as if this clan was some great big man, everyone had to focus on this, who was so full of food to care about you and your relatives.

……………………

In the back hall, the third uncle's cough intensified.

Uncle Clan was busy beating him on the back, and said: "Dad, my son is telling the truth, they don't want to live, and my son can't ask for it, so Ye Jing ...... Scold...... There is also that Spring and Autumn Period, my son has never seen such a stubborn person, such a person, he can actually be a showman, which can be regarded as an eye-opener, no wonder others say that Ningbo's Xiucai is not as good as Hangzhou's children, what luck is the Hexi Ye family now, and he has won a show. Although they are in a poor and remote place, they are just as good, and it is easier to test their fame. ”

He chattered and said, looking very angry: "The most hateful thing is that Chunqiu beat Chengcai, and now he is still crying at his mother's place, can I feel distressed as a father?" If you want me to say, just send them away, if you have to keep them, won't their tails go to the sky? He came from Hexi without a tutor and stayed at home, and his son was afraid that something would happen to them again. ”

The third uncle said angrily: "Son, are you so ignorant? ”

After listening to the words of the third uncle, the clan uncle was busy and softened: "Dad, I'm ...... I didn't mean to ignore the feelings of my relatives, I just ...... Just ......"

"Relatives?" The third uncle pulled his face and said coldly: "I see that you are studying and studying, and this has nothing to do with relatives, what do you think I am doing this?" Self-deprecating? Hmph, the people of the Ye family in Hexi, look at their poor and sour appearance, my father has long said that it is a place of great evil, and they come to the door, and the old man still thinks that they have ruined our luck. But there is no way, you will take the township exam this year, presumably it will be nine out of ten, but if you think about it, next year, next year will be the exam, if you are lucky enough to win the exam and become a jinshi, then it will be an official, if you are lucky, you can enter Hanlin, to the worst, you have to go to the six departments to watch the government, and when the time comes, with an official body, what is the most important? Naturally, people can't leave a handle, if it is known that our Ye family looks down on those poor sours in Hexi, they went to Hangzhou to take the exam, and they would rather live outside, and it will inevitably be that someone will make a fuss about this; You, just think about the present, but your eyes should look into the distance, when you were a father, you were also elected by the officials, and you know how terrible the dumping in this officialdom is, and my father is planning for you. You are different from them, this time you have been studying behind closed doors for a few years, and the articles you have done have also been read, and this subject has great hope, so you must be more careful, and you must not let people talk about it. ”

The clan uncle looked like he was obedient to the teaching, and hurriedly said yes, thinking about it in his heart, and he also felt that it was very reasonable.

……………………

Since beating Ye Chengcai, no one has come to the guest room where Ye Chunqiu's father and son lived.

The Ye family only treats them as air.

That's fine, Ye Chunqiu is happy, but every now and then, Ye Jing has to go to visit the third uncle.

However, although he went diligently, he was more disappointed when he came back, and many times, the third uncle refused to come out to see him, only saying that he was not in good health.

Two days later, someone finally came there, saying that they were inviting Ye Jing and Ye Chunqiu to have a homely meal.

Came to live here for four or five days, this is the first time that the third uncle invited the Ye family father and son to dinner, Ye Jing attached great importance to this matter, and repeatedly asked Ye Chunqiu to wear new clothes, the father and son took advantage of the moonlight to arrive at the dining room, the third uncle had already sat high, and the clan uncle was sitting on the other side, as for the other female dependents are not qualified to serve at the table, to some extent, this is just a very small family banquet, legend has it that there is a clan uncle here, but for some reason he did not come.

Ye Jing was busy saluting the third uncle and the clan uncle, and Ye Chunqiu followed suit, and then sat down.

Ye Chunqiu is a very casual person, although he doesn't like them, but it doesn't matter, if he has food to eat, he just bows his head and eats for himself, as for you, just be happy.

But when the maid brought the dishes, Ye Chunqiu was a little surprised, this Nima, four dishes and one soup, this is a bit rare, could it be that the Ming Dynasty also has official standards, in other words, treat you to dinner, as for that?

The third uncle just stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's just a common meal, it's just a common meal, come, come...... Come and sit, you don't have to be formal, it's all a family. ”

Ye Jing was busy sitting down, but Ye Chunqiu was squeezing his eyebrows, he was a very calm person, but when he encountered such a treatment, he just wanted to complain in his heart, hell, even if he was a farmer hospitality, it would not be so simple.

Well, a fried radish, a leek, and a green onion tofu soup, yo, and a meat dish, stir-fried greens...... Pork.

The third uncle seemed to see the difference on Ye Chunqiu's face, but he still smiled: "Chunqiu, isn't this meal to your liking?" ”

Without waiting for Chunqiu to answer, Ye Jingsheng was afraid that this son would talk nonsense, so he hurriedly picked up: "Third uncle, Chunqiu is usually simple and accustomed to it, this meal is already very rare, it is all dishes he likes to eat, Chunqiu, don't you say?" ”
