Firecrackers sounded, gongs and drums were noisy, and the small courtyard of Shen Yichen's house could no longer afford the congratulations of so many people.

There is no way, you can only set up a flowing water seat in the alley, anyway, you don't know it, as long as you come over to say hello, just sit down and be happy.

To be honest, it was at this moment that Shen Yichen knew that he had such a strong popularity.

It's really ten years of no one asking under the window, and he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop.

Not only the ordinary neighborhoods, but soon there were several carriages at the entrance of the alley, which were Jiangning Zhixian, Ying Tianfu Yin, and Governor Xuezheng who came to congratulate them.

After all, Shen Yichen was still the head of the case in person, and he barely had the name of a teacher in name, and it was not too outrageous to send someone over to congratulate him on a familiar face.

Among them, Ying Tianfu Yin sent over was Shen Yichen's old acquaintance Bian He.

"Shen Xiaoyou, I haven't seen you for just a month, and today I jumped into the dragon gate and won three yuan."

Listening to Bian He's praise, Shen Yichen replied with a smile: "Mr. Bian is not polite, can this also be called Lianzhong Sanyuan?" ”

"If you can't call it, you should congratulate you in advance."

"Mr. Bian, you are so confident that I will be able to dominate the world in the future?"

"I believe in my own vision, even if I can't be a great leader in the world, Shen Xiaoyou, you will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future."

When Bian He said this, he didn't have that kind of hypocritical and polite smile on his face, but instead looked very serious.

To be honest, it may be that he has seen more in the online virtual world in later generations, and Shen Yichen always has a hint of vigilance about this kind of sudden kindness of strangers.

He never believed that there was a free lunch in this world.

Is it really just to make a good relationship with the other party so well?

"Mr. Bian, I haven't thanked you for helping you last time, if there is anything that can help, but it doesn't hurt."

Since he owes a debt of favors, the best way is to pay it back, so Shen Yichen knocked it out and wanted to see what Bian He wanted.

"Shen Xiaoyou, your vigilance is really high."

To Shen Yichen's surprise, his inner thoughts were actually seen through by this Bian He.

What's even more surprising is that the other party didn't have any cover-up, and directly pointed it out, which really didn't fit the consistent style of the staff.

"I don't have any derogatory meaning in what I say, in the future officialdom, people with low vigilance will not be able to stand at the pinnacle of power. So Shen Xiaoyou, it's a good thing that you have this kind of vigilance. ”

"Oh, so it seems that I'm wary?"

"Yes, I do have intentions."

I don't know why, Bian He bluntly said that he had a plan, which made Shen Yichen feel a lot more relieved.

After all, it is a very dangerous thing to deal with smart people these days and not know the opponent's hole cards.

"I don't know what Mr. Bian is trying to do?"

"I want to help you attack!"

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yichen's mouth, he thought that Bian He was a master and didn't show his face, but the more he talked, the more outrageous it became, this old brother shouldn't have drunk too much.

Raider?

Zhu Ji, the second son, doesn't have much hope, and he can challenge the entire ancient etiquette with his own servant son?

"Bian He, shouldn't you have also learned some imperial academics, and I think it's better to have goods with the emperor's family."

Shen Yichen replied lightly, he can't afford the big matter of attacking the lord, if Bian He really has a lot of ambition and wants to find a springboard, it is better to go directly to Emperor Zhu Qizhen, he is more suitable.

Hearing Shen Yichen's words, Bian He laughed and replied: "It has nothing to do with any imperial academics, because what I am trying to do, at least I have to become a prince to be able to speak, Shen Xiaoyou, if you don't attack the lord, I'm afraid you won't be able to help me." ”

At least the level of Cheng Guogong can help?

Shen Yichen thought about it, as long as the level of Cheng Guogong was not involved in the rebellion of the regime, even if it was other heinous felonies, there was a way to help.

This Bian He, shouldn't it be a felony of treason......

The problem is that during the Ming Yingzong period, I didn't seem to have heard of any famous rebels, and there was no name Bian He in the history books, what did he do?

"Mr. Bian, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you."

Shen Yichen thinks that he has no hope of attacking the lord, and he has no confidence that he can settle the ten heinous crimes in ancient times, so it is better to say it openly and honestly, so that Bian He will have some unnecessary delusions.

The Ming Dynasty was not the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in ancient times, and the way of investing in various strategists did not work at all.

"It doesn't matter, even if he doesn't become a third-generation Chengguo Gong, maybe Shen Xiaoyou can go out of his own way."

After Bian He said this, he turned around and drank happily with others, and he couldn't see that he had just planned a "big thing" with Shen Yichen.

In addition to Bian He, the staff sent by Sun Tixue also brought a message to Shen Yichen, that is, he was asked to participate in the celebration banquet of the college examination three days later.

In ancient times, there were four feasts in the imperial examination, namely "Luming Banquet", "Qionglin Banquet", "Eagle Yang Banquet" and "Huiwu Banquet", which served the two subjects of civil and military affairs preset by the imperial examination.

Among them, the Luming Banquet and the Qionglin Banquet are liberal arts banquets, when the new imperial examination is born, the local officials and even the emperor will invite the new scientific scholars to give a banquet to express their congratulations.

However, this kind of banquet is the lowest grade, and it must be qualified to be held after the township examination is lifted, and I have never heard of any show talent and a celebration banquet.

may have guessed Shen Yichen's doubts in advance, and Sun Tixue's staff explained the reason.

That is Shen Yichen even small and medium-sized three yuan, this glory Ying Tianfu has not appeared for more than ten years, in order to congratulate this kind of local literary style of prosperity, it is reasonable for the Admiral Xuezheng to hold a celebration banquet.

At the same time, Ying Tianfu Yin and the Admiral Xuezheng also decided to make an exception to build a three-yuan archway for Shen Yichen, on the one hand, to reward his academic achievements, and on the other hand, to serve as an example to encourage Ying Tianshizi to study diligently.

However, after the construction of this watery "Sanyuan Fang", I don't know if Shen Yichen will blush after seeing it. After all, Ying Tianfu is not a small place, but one of the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty, all kinds of arches and arches of Jinshi are not poor.

The three-yuan square at the level of Xiucai is really a little shabby......

Of course, this is the kindness of the parents and the great master, and Shen Yichen still has to thank him again and again. And said that he will continue to work hard in the future to build a real Sanyuanfang and live up to the love of the two.

In addition, when Bian He was leaving, he also brought a piece of news to Shen Yichen, that is, the Zhu clansman was found to be cheating tools on the spot, and he was suppressed by the power of Cheng Guogong from above.

Several people were only punished for the next college examination and were not allowed to apply for the examination, and even the children who were admitted to the government examination were not deprived, which is enough to see that Zhu Yong at this moment is indeed already powerful.

In fact, in addition to Zhu Yong's strength, the most important thing is that Shen Yichen himself has made great efforts, if it weren't for the fact that the head of the case was not investigated and punished for fraud, and he also took the test for the achievement of Xiao Sanyuan.

I'm afraid that if the fermentation continues, a group of candidates will cry in the school palace, and there will be a major case of fraud in the imperial examination.

However, from another angle, I think on Zhu Qingyu's side, originally a few of my own low-key people just had to mix up their fame, and it was not too eye-catching, and this practice has become a common practice among the children of Xun Qi.

But Shen Yichen came to the limelight in various ways, and he also attracted everyone's attention one after another. Now I brought a few of my own people out to expose, and I really poured blood mold for eight lifetimes!

So a lot of things, from different perspectives, the results may be completely different.

At the end of the feast, the seven aunts and eight aunts next door helped clean up the mess, and the small courtyard soon returned to its former calm.

It's just that the various gifts piled up in the house indicate that Shen Yichen's status has changed drastically. In addition, there is a pile of congratulatory silver on the table covered with a red cloth, which seems to be particularly conspicuous under the light of the candlelight.

"Chen'er, I'm afraid I will have more than a hundred taels of silver this time, what should we do to return the gift."

Shen looked at the pile of silver, and his first reaction was not to be happy to receive the money, but to think about how to repay the gifts to these dignitaries.

"You don't have to return the gift, mother, you just take care of the family."

Shen Yichen didn't care about the more than 100 taels of silver.

In ancient times, the imperial examination was known as a jump in social class, not just talking, just taking this pile of silver as an example, it was almost enough for a normal family of three to eat and drink for a lifetime.

In the homes of ordinary people, facing the loess with their backs to the sky all their lives, I am afraid that they will not be able to dig out so much money from the soil.

Of course, Shen Yichen can have so many congratulatory gifts and bonuses, which is a special circumstance, and there are not so many in the normal examination.

But if you have a reputation for showing off your talents, as long as you go through the door, you can get a dozen taels of silver or the same rice grain subsidy from the government a year, and you can also be exempted from forced labor and taxes on three acres of land.

It's really not good, go to be a tutor, a staff member, help others write again, and be a lawyer and feng shui master. The last time he relied on Xiucai Road to lead him to the sea to do business, twenty taels of silver a year was also easy, and there was no possibility of starving to death anyway.

In modern TV dramas, Xiucai is dressed in tatters, and he can't eat, unless it is a special case and the troubled times at the end of the dynasty, it is impossible under normal circumstances.

Therefore, there is a golden house in the book and Yan Ruyu in the book, which is not a false description, but if you honestly go up to the imperial examination, you can really get these things.

Now Shen Yichen's achievements have exceeded the vision of a housewife like Shen, so her son said that she didn't need to return the gift, and she didn't ask more.

just brought Shen Yichen to the ancestral spiritual seat, handed him a pillar of incense and candles, and said: "Today is too busy, I haven't said hello to the ancestors and ancestors, Chen'er quickly knelt down and worshiped the ancestors." ”

After that, the Shen family knelt on the futon and worshiped the ancestral spiritual position very religiously.

However, Shen Yichen didn't kneel down immediately, because he looked at the words of the Zhu family ancestor on the spiritual throne, and felt a little ridiculous.

Even my father didn't agree to enter the genealogy to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, he still followed his mother's surname Shen, which family of Zhu ancestors worshipped, can the ancestors find their names in the genealogy?

But in ancient times, such things as monarchs, ministers, fathers, and sons, and heavenly principles could not change with personal will.

It is even an exaggeration to say that as long as you rebel and kill the king, as long as your fists are hard, there will still be a large group of scholars and doctors to follow you in establishing a new dynasty. And if you openly kill your father and mother, it will really be a complete calf, and no matter how strong you are, everyone in the world will spurn it.

So Shen Yichen shook his head, and still worshiped the ancestors with his mother's wishes.
