Walking out of the county school, Sheng Changbai came up with a smile and congratulated: "Brother Xian, I was recommended by the Osprey, congratulations!" ”

Wei Chen glanced at him lightly, and said angrily: "Did you already know?" ”

Sheng Changbai smiled slightly: "I just heard that Duke Luo and Duke Yan have a very good relationship, and I saw that Wang Yaochen was arrogant and not like a disciple of Duke Luo, so I had a faint guess in my heart, and I felt that Gong Luo would take this opportunity to suppress his own students." ”

Wei Chen nodded: "This kind of thing, as a teacher, it is not easy to do, but Feng Zhixian, an outsider, is more effective to do, and Luo Gong is really well-intentioned." ”

Chen Jun on the side saw Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai playing dumb there, and suddenly had a question mark in his head, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What are you talking about, why can't I understand?" ”

Wei Chen raised his chin at Sheng Changbai and asked him to explain it to Chen Jun himself.

Sheng Changbai laughed, and then said: "Brother Chen, do you know that Wang Yaochen's teacher is the champion prince thirty years ago, Mr. Shouxi Luo Bingkun?"

Chen Jun nodded: "I naturally know this." ”

"That county teacher is Mr. Yan Xiren, who is known as a mountain farmer who is unique in poetry and painting, do you know?"

"I seem to have heard of it, too."

"Then do you know that Yan Xiren and Luo Bingkun are called Yama, but they are Taishan Beidou in the literary world, and the two cherish each other and have a very good relationship?"

"I haven't heard of this ......, it seems that I am lonely and unheard."

Sheng Changbai smiled and said: "Don't blame Brother Chen, after all, when these two people were at their most famous, it was thirty years ago, and you didn't come into the world at that time, so naturally you wouldn't know." ”

"I see."

Chen Jun showed an expression of sudden realization, and then seemed to think of something, and asked, "Thirty years ago, wasn't Brother Sheng born yet, how did you know?" ”

Sheng Changbai was slightly stunned by the question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Wei Chen on the side sighed and replied for him: "The Sheng family has a family history, there are two Jinshi in the three generations, the elder brother has a wide range of friends and knowledge, naturally it is not comparable to the children of the Han family like you and me." ”

Wei Chen was also full of emotion in his heart when he said this, although he often said "Chao is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is in Tianzitang", but in fact, he also understands in his heart that the children of the poor family were pulled away by the children of the family at the starting point.

This gap cannot be bridged by the increase of wealth, but by the accumulation of several generations.

Obviously, the admission rate of the Great Zhou Jinshi is so low, but a scholarly family and a family like the Hai family can gather from generation to generation, and even achieve such an ungodly achievement as "one door and five Hanlin", which is the power of the foundation.

The so-called family history is really not just an empty word.

For example, Sheng Changbai, his father Sheng Hong is a general judge in Yangzhou, and the news is naturally far wider than Wei Chen and Chen Jun, and with a little inquiry, you can know the secrets in the eyes of many people.

When it came to this topic, the atmosphere between the three people with different backgrounds suddenly became a little heavy.

Chen Jun lowered his head and didn't speak, Sheng Changbai was also a little embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

Wei Chen smiled, patted Chen Jun's shoulder and said: "The so-called Qingliu family and scholarly family are just a few Jinshi from the ancestors, if we can leap into the dragon gate and the title of the gold list, then we will be a family, why do we need to rely on the ancestors Yu Yin?" Perhaps, when I see Brother Chen in the future, I will pay tribute to the ancestor of the Chen family! ”

"Brother Wei laughed."

Chen Jun was shocked when he heard this, his personality was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and he was not a person who felt sorry for himself, after Wei Chen's enlightenment, his mood was obviously much better than before, and his heart was more determined to work hard.

Wei Chen looked at Sheng Changbai again, raised his eyebrows at him and said, "Brother, it's going to be the house test soon, what is the Tao in it, you, a child of the family, have to make it clear to us, you are not allowed to hide your secrets!" ”

Hearing Wei Chen's words, Sheng Changbai's heart finally relaxed, and he couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face, arched his hand and said: "Brother Meng Xian will not give up, and Brother Fool should do his best!" ”

"Great!" Wei Chen smiled and clapped his hands and said: "With my brother here, we are equivalent to half a family, and we will never be dumb and deaf on this scientific expedition road in the future." ”

……

Wei Chen was named the head of the case by Feng Zhixian to the surprise of many people, and for a while, Wei Chen became the name that the people of Youyang City were most keen to talk about.

However, the enthusiasm of the people of Youyang for Weichen did not last long, and soon dissipated.

This year is the year of the big competition, after the end of the palace examination on March 15, I don't know how many scholars will be on the gold list, and the fish will leap into the dragon gate.

However, Wei Chen's mentality is very good, there are only less than two months left before the home exam, and he can't wait to disappear from the public's sight quickly, no one will disturb him, and he can concentrate on preparing for the house exam.

Two days later, Sheng Changbai came with news, saying that water thieves have been rampant in Jiangning recently, and the waterway to Jiangning is afraid that it will be difficult to go.

So after discussing it, several people decided to leave ahead of schedule and go to Jiangning City by land.

Jiangning City.

In the canopy where dignitaries gathered.

A deep house compound, the word "Sheng Mansion" is hung high at the main entrance, and there is a plaque of Tanhua Mansion on it.

This is the mansion left by the old lady Sheng to the second room, because Sheng Changbai's grandfather completed the transformation from a businessman to a scholar, and before marrying Miss Houfu, the old lady put the second son's house in Jiangning City.

The Sheng family lived in the capital all the year round, and later Sheng Hong was released as an official and became a home, so the house in Jiangning City was vacant for many years, leaving only a dozen loyal old servants to guard.

This time, Sheng Changbai returned to Jiangning Mansion to try, and he just used this house that had been idle for a long time.

The three of them rode all the way to the mansion, and there were more than a dozen old servants waiting at the door of the house, and an old man-like steward stepped forward and knelt down to salute.

"The little ones welcome the second young master back home!"

Then the back row of servants and miscellaneous servants all knelt down and kowtowed, and the shouts were also neat.

Wei Chen and Chen Jun both saw this kind of battle for the first time, and the two of them looked at each other with a look of surprise on their faces.

Sheng Changbai was already surprised, waved his hand to make everyone stand up, and then ordered the leading steward and asked him to lead the three into the house.

The steward was very excited when he saw Sheng Changbai, and kept stumbling and saying: "I haven't seen the second young master for many years, the old slave is really happy in his heart!" ”

Wei Chen listened to a basket of compliments, only to feel that his ears were buzzing, but fortunately, after arriving at the main hall, Sheng Changbai sent off a group of people and others, which was stopped.

After settling down in the accommodation, Sheng Changbai took Wei Chen and Chen Jun to the study, took out ten scrolls from the cabinet, and handed them to the two.

"These are all Cheng Mo from the Shen Mansion of the Mansion that I asked people to collect."

Sheng Changbai said in a deep voice: "Shen Futai is a jinshi in the second year of Jingping, before he was raised, Zhao Ziyu, who was employed in the nine sons of Anyang, has the essence of the prose, and the rhetoric is biased towards the changeable language.

At the time of the government examination, if we can learn from the Six Dynasties, focus on laying out the rhetoric, and write a beautiful four-six prose, the ranking will not be low. ”

Wei Chen and Chen Jun felt a pang in their hearts when they heard this, and understood that this was Sheng Changbai sharing precious information with them, and they both showed extremely serious looks on their faces at the moment, and they hurriedly took the scroll and watched it carefully.
