Chapter 312: Go to the Beijing Palace to take the test
After a while, the result came out, and the lot that the dog could open was: Jia Ren was still surnamed Yang, and he was so angry that he threw it on the table; Yang Guiying's lot was opened: Jia Ren changed her surname to Dog, and she was so annoyed that she wanted to tear it up; Yang Guan's lot opening is: Jia Ren is still surnamed Yang.
After the dog was able to draw the charge, he trembled and stood unsteadily, and he was so angry that he became ill and fell ill, and died of exhaustion at the end of the year. On his deathbed, he said a cruel word, and I will definitely not give up.
Yang Guiying was overjoyed, not only did the Gou Neng family allocate a large amount of money for the Yang family to build a new house, but after the death of the dog, the two of them merged into one, and the Yang family was the main one. Due to the abundant assets and a large amount of treasury silver, the two of them worked together to cultivate Yang Jiaren and sent him to Xuxu to study poetry and books, trying to advance to the knighthood in the future, gain fame, and glorify the ancestors.
Yang Jiaren lived up to expectations, and when he reached the year of the weak crown, he was admitted to Xiucai, which was equivalent to obtaining a degree. With this degree, he can start his own class and teach in the library, which means that he is qualified to run a private school. But since the Yang family has money, he doesn't need to teach to earn money to support himself for the time being, and he has a more ambitious ambition, that is, to continue to participate in the imperial examination. However, for two consecutive years, I missed the opportunity to enter the Beijing entrance examination.
In the first year, he set off from Yangjiazhuang, where Sha Xian was located, walked for several months, and arrived at the Luoyang Post House in Henan. The following year, he went to Beijing again half a year ahead of schedule, and in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, the family hired a well-known local Langzhong to accompany him along the way, so that he could be cured at any time.
But things went wrong, he didn't go wrong until he entered the hall examination room, just sat down with the test paper, and finished a eight-strand essay, one of which was not very obvious, he wanted to dip the ink and add a few strokes, but somehow the hand seemed to be pushed violently, and the inkstone was overturned, and the ink overflowed, and it actually dyed a large piece of Yang Jiaren's test paper black. The sentences written on it naturally became smudges and were blurred, and the test paper was undoubtedly invalid.
The examiner didn't accept it, and scolded Yang Jiaren for being reckless, how could there be a little bit of the elegance of a scholar?
Yang Jiaren was driven out, and everyone was angry, but fortunately, Lang Zhong treated him and was fine. Riding back home from the capital station, I was depressed along the way, but I was very conceited and said that my Yang family appointment was not good, and I would do all the questions that I would test, but I was disrupted by unexpected emergencies. Then he told the details of his bad luck, and those who knew the inside story also sighed.
After that, the Yang family was disheartened and lazy, and no longer mentioned going to Beijing to participate in the palace examination, and many of his classmates were promoted, and they all advised him not to give up, he just sighed, shook his head, and said that he had no chance with the imperial examination, and no matter how hard he tried, it would be in vain.
Since the Yang family was not engaged in agriculture and did not know how to manage business and finance, his elderly parents let him sit in the library to teach, and received some monthly rice or corresponding coins from his disciples to cover the tuition, and his life was quite nourishing.
Soon married his wife Zhang, Zhang was born in a scholarly family, usually also practiced poetry and books, understood etiquette, as soon as she married into the Yang family, she persuaded her husband Yang Jiaren not to give up participating in the imperial examination, and also said that the Son of Heaven was heroic, and the article taught Er Cao. Everything is inferior, only reading is high. Studying is to be an official, and to be an official must take the exam, once you pass the exam, you will be named an official by the imperial court and entrusted with a big responsibility, which is much better than being a poor show for a lifetime.
When Yang Jiaren heard this, he said the details of his first two trips to Beijing to participate in the examination, but Zhang used the example given by Fan Jin to persuade him, saying that Fan Jin is "where there is a will, there is a way", he has made mistakes in the imperial examination for most of his life, it can be said that there are many more setbacks than you, what kind of setbacks are you, only two emergencies have discouraged the will, don't you feel ashamed?
Yang Jiaren was said to be moved, and he immediately expressed his attitude to the Zhang family, since the lady supports me so much, the next session of the imperial court will hold an examination, I will definitely participate, and I will not be able to win the list, and I can also be a Xie Yuan or a Jinshi. After the fight, Yang Jiaren increased his confidence, quit his job as a private school, and devoted himself to reviewing the content of the scientific examination.
The reason is very simple, his wife is pregnant with Rokka, and she is about to give birth to a child. He said, if I go to Beijing for the exam, who will take care of you and the children for half a year? The matter of participating in the imperial court examination can only be said after you give birth to a child.
Soon the Zhang family gave birth to a baby boy, it was spring, and the Yang family was on a whim, muttering, it is a boy who can hope for Jackie Chan, okay, okay, I want to come up with a name, just call him Yang Chunlong!
Zhang said, Jiaren, the child is born, you can't slack off in your studies, you have to prepare to participate in the next imperial court examination, if you pass the exam, our children will have a father who is an official in the future, how glorious it should be! Yang Jiaren said yes, but the child is still young, let him be older, and I will go to Beijing to try again.
How old are you going to be Chunlong? Zhang asked.
At least Chunlong can go to the street to make soy sauce. Yang Jiaren replied, I can rest assured that I can go to the Beijing Palace to test. I'm going to leave home for half a year as soon as I go, the child is too young to take care of himself, and without my help, the lady can't take care of it alone, right?
I didn't think that after seven or eight years, my son Yang Chunlong was really able to take the bottle to the street to make soy sauce. This year, the Yang family came back from the Beijing exam, because he felt good and made no mistakes, he actually liked it, and only waited for the title of the gold list to report good news. The family had a feast for ten years, and the neighbors were caught in it with a lot of light, and they secretly guessed one by one: This time the Yang family is definitely in the middle, otherwise why is he so magnificent?
But after another ten years, there was no news. He went to the county seat to investigate, but saw a gold list hanging on the wall of the west gate. He walked over with a smile on his face, and when he looked closely from top to bottom, there was no name of his Yang family. Suddenly, his face sank, his heart was rushing, his eyes were dark, and he couldn't stand.
He held on to the city wall and sighed, the sky does not allow Yang Ye. Immediately the throat "creaked" and spit out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, there was a Xiucai who saw the list and met him, and when he knew that his name was Sun Shan, his pity suddenly rose, and he helped him to his home.
When the Yang family returned to the village, how could they have the face to see outsiders, so they simply stayed in bed. In this way, I didn't think about three days and nine days, and I didn't think about it, and I was really haunted. In less than half a month, he dragged a half-old man with a big shoulder and a thick waist to a dove-shaped hoof, skinny as wood.
One evening, he spit out a few mouthfuls of phlegm and blood, and he already felt that his personnel were not good, so he called his only son and choked up and said, Chunlong, I have a word for my father, I hope you will inherit your father's will, study diligently, in order to prepare for the palace exam, once you win a gold list title, your father will also smile under Jiuquan.
Chunlong knelt down in front of the bed, reached out and pinched his cooler fingers, and said with teary eyes that the child would be angry. If you stay up for half a month, the Yang family will be killed. Because Chunlong's mother got along with her neighbors on a regular basis, she couldn't help but say that they all helped to handle the funeral, and everyone wore linen and filial piety, mourning in the township. After the funeral, Yang Chunlong burned another 7749 days of money, and repaired the tomb on the paper during the Qingming Festival, and was sincere and filial.
