Chapter 6: The Feast
Pork, that is, pork. When the scholars and doctors all regarded mutton as the superior person, this pork naturally became cheap meat, only for the common people's consumption, and could not be sold at a high price. So the only thing that was expensive in this herd of fish was the sheep. In this way, ten taels of silver will not even be used.
After having basic purchasing power for the silver taels in this world, Ning Caichen kept five taels for pocket use, and left some copper coins they redeemed, and handed over the rest to his mother to put away.
Suddenly seeing so much silver, Ning's mother was startled and asked, "Why did my son get so many silver taels?"
"Mother, this is the result of a first-class tanhua. Ning Caichen didn't dare to say the reason, he was afraid that Ning's mother would worry. But this is not a lie, it is not that he has been hit by Tanhua, not to mention this silver tael, it is still unknown whether the disaster of imprisonment can be avoided.
"My son is really a capable person, so many silver taels, but he can't earn it in his life. ”
Seeing her so happy, the wrinkles on her face were smoothed out a lot, and under the dazzling brilliance, she was even more excited: "With this silver tael, and then put it on the field, my son will have a foundation." ”
Ning Caichen said: "Mother doesn't need to buy land, and her son should have 20 acres of land for flower exploration." ”
The so-called Litian is a field that is exempted from servitude given by the imperial court to those who are excellent in the examination. is also a showman, the top three can be given land, and the top three are only exempt from servitude, but not given land.
"Okay!" Hearing Arita Teaching, Ning's mother was even happier than winning the silver.
Silver will be spent, but this field is endless, and it will be passed on.
Ning Caichen fell for Xiucai, and the whole village came to help. As the saying goes, there is great strength in numbers, and the water has already boiled for the effort of killing pigs and sheep.
Meals are available in a matter of moments. When everyone was seated and about to have a banquet, a servant came to report that the county magistrate had arrived.
Naturally, the old and young of a village have to go to greet them.
Ning Caichen, as the only literati in the village, was in the front, and the third elder was the next to be the elder.
"The students meet with the people of the county. Ning Caichen bowed. As a Xiucai, he can't be called Qian Yi County Order, the county order is the title of the superior or the same level, and he doesn't have to be called "parent", the county order is the parent of the people, but he is a scholar, in this case, they belong to different levels of the same class, and calling "Taiwan" is not out of class, but also shows respect.
With such a strict rank, a mistake in one word can be a big crime, but it is difficult to kill Ning Caichen. How can a modern person experience so much exquisiteness, if it is not for the memory of Yuan Ning Caichen, he must be blind.
Fortunately, this original Ning Caichen was also angry, and he was dying, and he became a showman, without this identity of a showman who did not worship the official, he would be even more annoyed to death.
If you think about it carefully, this Ning Caichen may be a hard worker. Ning Caichen in Liaozhai carries a book basket and collects debts for a living. When it rained heavily on the road, I opened the umbrella, but there were only a few pieces of rags left, which could not cover the wind and rain at all. It was easy to get to the store, but the account book was wet, and the store did not admit it. There was no money to stay, so I had to stay in Lanruo Temple.
And the Ning Caichen he possessed also had no money to spare, and after the college exam, he had to hurry home to save expenses. Rushing overnight, the night was infected with wind and cold, and he died.
The ancients took exams and sat in prison, and when they came out, they were top-heavy and very weak, so they would wait for the list to be announced, and then go home.
One is to visit the same year, and the other is to recuperate.
The autumn breeze seems to be pleasant, but it has brought a chill. If you get infected, you will get sick, let alone when your body is weak and hungry.
But if it weren't for this original Ning Caichen, there would be no where he is now.
It is not an easy task to obtain the qualification of Xiucai, and it is difficult to pass the strict entrance examination for children, from low to high. The county exam, the government exam, and the hospital exam, step by step, which step is not full of sadness. Only when you are all qualified can you become a student, that is, a showman.
Yuan Ning Caichen was also very good, as if he knew that the county test and the government test had won the ranking, and he did not grant the field, so he spent all his energy on the last test and won this (small) Tanhua.
If it is the current Ning Caichen, he can't even be qualified. Let him draft a legal contract and make up for it, but he is really not that piece of material to write this ancient text.
However, he didn't take advantage of Yuan Ning Caichen, because he only wore it after Yuan Ning Caichen's death. You must know that this fame and benefit is awarded to individuals, and there is no hereditary nonsense.
If he hadn't worn it in time, Yuan Ning Caichen's Cheng Ji would have been scrapped and replaced from below.
Ning's mother not only gained nothing, but also lost her only son.
A large group of people have to kneel when they see the county order, and only he can call himself a "student". There is inevitably some arrogance in my heart.
Xiucai is already like this, no wonder this ancient man was tested until death.
"Ning Tanhua is free of courtesy, you are in the flowers, which adds a lot of color to my Hangzhou City. Qian Yi was even more polite.
In the eyes of today's people, he is so polite because of Ning Caichen's imprisonment.
Not really. This literati pays attention to a "gentleman" among them. Ning Caichen was not imprisoned by him, and he was released, and the merchant was ordered to pay 200 taels of silver, which was already the identity of a scholar.
For this matter, Ning Caichen can't hold on to it, otherwise he won't be a "gentleman". This is the unspoken rule of the literati, and if he wants to mingle in this literati circle, he must abide by it. The most taboo thing for literati is a single husband.
And this matter can not be investigated again, after all, this is the prison arrest and fast private act, and then the county order will only be held accountable for "dereliction of duty". That's it. I can't move a county order. On the contrary, it is troublesome to study the origin of this bead.
So why does the county order give a show of face like this?
Everything is the fault of this "flower exploration".
Later, he learned that although this was called the Song Dynasty, it was not the same as the Song Dynasty.
Compared with a single Song Dynasty, it is more like a country that is highly similar to the Song and Ming dynasties. If the history books weren't made up.
Just because it's just similar, this little tanhua is amazing.
A 16-year-old child, no one cares, but the 16-year-old little Tanhuaxiu is different.
With the ranking, there is also the granting of land, and with this tax-free field, you can study with more peace of mind.
It can be said that the current Ning Caichen has a bright future.
In the Great Song Dynasty, there were those who couldn't be lifted, but I haven't heard of anyone who didn't win the lift.
And another middle lift, as long as it is not out of the fifth grade, it can be called "Jinshi", where "and the first is ordered to be an official", there is no need to go through the official test.
This point is still based on the Song system, not the Ming system.
In other words, as long as this Ning Caichen is not a "Zhongyong", he is destined to be an official gentry for the rest of his life.
Since he will be an official in the same dynasty in the future, he will naturally be closer to him. Although the scholar is cloudy: "A gentleman is not a party", but he is friendly.
Teacher-student relationship, same year relationship, fellow villager relationship. These are the three essential relationships in officialdom. Where do you take the test, as soon as you come up, this identity is doomed.
It will be with you for the rest of your life, and you can't get rid of it.
