Chapter 48 Man Depends on Himself
"Nephew Huang Xian, what do you think?" Chen Yuanwai looked at Huang Tinghui, expecting Huang Tinghui to give an answer.
Since getting Huang Tinghui's pair, Chen Yuanwai has admired Huang Tinghui's talent very much, and the great Confucian in the provincial capital is not an ordinary person.
That person has passed the examination and has the qualifications to be an official.
For ordinary people, the official master is a heaven-like existence, and Chen Yuanwai also made a lot of effort to let his children worship under the name of the great Confucian.
Where did ordinary children get this opportunity?
Chen Yuanwai wanted to recommend Huang Tinghui to become a disciple under that person's name, but in the final analysis, Chen Yuanwai was just a landlord and a businessman.
If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court was more relaxed about the imperial examination, his son would have been born in a merchant family, and it would have been difficult for him to take the imperial examination.
Although the reputation of the scholar is not very good, it is already a great opportunity for ordinary people.
If it weren't for Chen Yuanwai's optimism about Huang Tinghui, he would not have thought of making Huang Tinghui his son's scholar, so that Huang Tinghui could also be influenced by that great Confucian.
Hearing Chen Yuanwai's words, Huang Xiaozhu showed a look of envy, for a clay leg like him, if he could become a scholar of Chen Yuanwai's son, it would be no less than a step to the sky.
In the era of class solidification, if there is this opportunity, it is a great opportunity for the small people of Dousheng.
Even the old patriarch looked at Huang Tinghui, and he was also full of expectations.
But at this time, Huang Tinghui was silent, he naturally knew that Chen Yuanwai let him be his son's scholar, which was definitely a gesture.
Where do ordinary people get so many protagonists' halos?
After he came to this world, although his memory and physical strength have improved a lot, Huang Tinghui is not so arrogant that he can move his mouth and go all the way up and get a champion.
For Huang Tinghui, being admitted to the show is already burning high incense.
The ancient imperial examination was similar to the college entrance examination, which could only be more difficult, and even if he came through time, Huang Tinghui was not confident that he could win against those contemporaries.
The kind of three-yuan in the novel and the slap in the face of people is purely the imagination of those novel authors.
Take those seriously, and your head will really watt.
Low-key, obscene development is king.
Don't look down on Xiucai's identity, if you take a step further and get admitted to the juren, you will have the qualifications to be an official.
This is also why after Fan Jinzhong's move, the whole person was excited and confused, and the people around him looked at him differently.
Don't say it's Fan Jin, this is a little unbearable for every ordinary person.
Later, Fan Jin won the Jinshi in one fell swoop, and finally the official was promoted to the Admiral Xuedao, which is a high-ranking official of the third grade, which is equivalent to the head of the modern Provincial Department of Education.
Besides, Xiucai's status in this era is a privileged class, one is exempt from kneeling, the second is exempt from taxes, the third is exempt from forced labor, the fourth is preferential treatment under the criminal law, and the fifth is the privilege of dressing.
Not to mention that Xiucai can receive one tael of silver and thirty liters of rice from the government every month, that is, he is exempt from taxes, and the exemption from forced labor makes ordinary people envious.
Chen Yuanwai provided Huang Tinghui with the identity of a scholar, although this identity did not directly make Huang Tinghui a talent, but it also made Huang Tinghui a talent, and even the possibility of further progress was greatly improved.
It can be said that it is a great opportunity, and ordinary people can't get this opportunity even if they squeeze their heads.
"Brother Hui, promise to come down, promise to come down, this is a rare opportunity!"
"Brother Hui, Brother Hui!" Huang Xiaozhu reminded excitedly that even the old patriarch looked at Huang Tinghui with anticipation.
But at this time, Huang Tinghui was silent, he was doing a fierce ideological struggle, he was very hesitant, after all, this was more or less an opportunity.
If he misses it, he may never meet it again!
On the one hand, it is worry-free for children to try, and it is also possible to show talents.
On the other hand, I have to go to the teacher myself, and I have to worry about the children's exams.
Anyone who wants to take a shortcut will agree to Chen Yuanwai's proposal.
Huang Tinghui exhaled slightly at this time, as if he had made his final decision.
In Huang Xiaozhu's excited expression, in the expectant gaze of the old patriarch, and under the hopeful gaze of Chen Yuanwai.
Huang Tinghui made a gesture to Chen Yuanwai, "Chen Yuanwai, Tinghui once said a word in your mansion, which is also Tinghui's heart. ”
"If a person's mind can be easily changed, then even if he reads a book, even if he becomes an official, then his mind will go with the flow."
"Tinghui doesn't want to take shortcuts and become a person whose mind will change!"
"I'm sorry, Chen Yuanwai!"
Huang Tinghui said to Chen Yuanwai in an extremely apologetic tone.
"You must know that the young Ling Yunzhi once boasted that he was the first class in the world!" Chen Yuanwai gently read out the words that Huang Tinghui said in his mansion, and it was obvious that Chen Yuanwai knew this sentence from his housekeeper's mouth.
"Chen knows!" Chen Yuanwai looked at Huang Tinghui with extremely pleased eyes, at this time he was no longer simply appreciating Huang Tinghui's talent, but also admiring Huang Tinghui.
I didn't expect that one day, I would have this feeling for a teenager who was similar to his son.
"Chen didn't misread you, Huang Xian's nephew!" After speaking, Huang Yuanwai bowed to Huang Tinghui in the manner of a scholar.
"Since the virtuous nephew has made his own decision, then Chen will not bother much, and if he is free in the future, Huang Xian's nephew can come to Chen's mansion as much as possible."
"Chen is not talented, and he has not been able to win the lift in his life!"
"But there are still a lot of books in the house, and Huang Xian's nephew is welcome to come to me to borrow books at any time!" Chen Yuanwai also knew that Huang Tinghui's family background was not good, so he proposed.
"As long as he is free, Tinghui will bother him more in the future!"
"Thank you, Uncle Chen!" Influenced by modern thought, Huang Tinghui is certainly not a poor scholar who eats the past.
He immediately got closer to Chen Yuanwai.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
"Don't bother, don't bother, it's too late to welcome, when the time comes, I'll ask my butler to prepare a good pot of tea, just wait for you to come over!" Chen Yuanwai stroked his beard and said to Huang Tinghui with a smile.
"There are still some things at home today, so I'll leave first!"
"No need to send it far!" Chen Yuanwai is also a free and easy person, after saying this, he turned around and left.
Only Huang Xiaozhu looked at Huang Tinghui and the old patriarch in confusion, "Tinghui, patriarch, what does it mean to know that young Ling Yunzhi once promised to be the first class in the world?" ”
"Tinghui, did you accept Chen Yuanwai's kindness or refuse?"
Huang Xiaozhu asked anxiously.
"You elm head!" The old patriarch said something to Huang Xiaozhu, he looked at Huang Tinghui and sighed, "Brother Hui has really changed!" ”
"Old Patriarch, I've let you down!" Huang Tinghui said with some guilt.
If you want to say that the whole Huangjia Village wants to make the village better, it must be the old patriarch, and now such a good opportunity is in front of him, and he refuses.
Although this is the result of Huang Tinghui's careful consideration, Huang Tinghui still feels a little sorry for the old patriarch.
"You must know that the young Ling Yunzhi once boasted that he was the first class in the world!"
"Of course, an aspiring young man has his own pride, your edges and corners have not been smoothed out, this is where the spirit of the young man lies!"
"It's too late for the patriarch to appreciate it, how can I blame you?"
"When the patriarch was herding cattle when he was young, he secretly studied in the private school in the next village for a few days, and Mr. gave a lecture."
"Although I haven't learned anything, I also know where the backbone and spirit of the young man are!"
"Although it is a shortcut to become a scholar of Chen Yuanwai's son, how can an aspiring teenager keep thinking about seeking a shortcut?" After speaking, the old patriarch smiled at Huang Tinghui.
His cloudy eyes were full of admiration for Huang Tinghui, and he seemed to see himself when he was young.
It's just that I lost.
He didn't want his juniors to lose too.
"Brother Hui, the patriarch doesn't blame you, this is the path you chose."
"The patriarch also hopes that you can succeed, because this is not only my glory, but also the glory of our Huangjia Village."
At this, the old patriarch's lips trembled, as if he had made a difficult decision.
After breathing a long sigh of relief, the old patriarch said to Huang Tinghui: "Brother Hui, in the spring of the next year, you can go to the city with the patriarch!" ”
"The old patriarch will take you to find the old man!" After speaking, the old patriarch walked out tremblingly with his crutches.
