Chapter 298: Implications
As the date of the public list approached, a group of scholars and candidates waiting in the major inns of Beijing began to become a little restless. Even though some people seem calm on the surface, and even those who are in the mood to go out of the city to enjoy the mountains and rivers, in fact, they are also in a state of torment inside.
At this time, not only the scholars are like ants on a hot pot, but they also have their own attitudes. Many employees and masters of large families are also very active.
Without it, without exception, these rich men have a daughter in the boudoir.
In the official-based dynasty, marrying an official is much more decent than marrying a rich man. Therefore, some large families want to find an official to be their son-in-law. However, it is difficult to find officials, and it is difficult to make ready-made ones. It's either too old to be a horse, or it's a group of early wives and concubines.
Therefore, as a potential stock of officialdom, the township test scholar is the most popular.
There are not a few young candidates for these scholars, and if they haven't been married, they are simply fragrant. Every township test, there are old men who send people to inquire around, and Chen makes a long list. As soon as the list was announced, he immediately launched a money offensive, promising considerable wealth to take down Chenglong's fast son-in-law.
Compared with later generations, a so-called "beauty" can make countless men salivate and weak, and living in the Tianhua Dynasty is really happy.
Sometimes, however, happiness can become a nuisance.
For example, Ye Junsheng.
I don't know when it started, there were more than ten small people in green clothes wandering outside the courtyard. They looked hostile to each other, and most of the time, they stared at the gate of the courtyard with burning eyes, as if they were about to swallow it alive.
At the beginning. Ye Junmei still didn't know what was going on. But I bought a few dishes and listened to those aunts mention it. Then she realized—
These little guys, slaves from different families. They are all here to keep an eye on Ye Junsheng, and if Ye Junsheng is named on the gold list, they will show their housekeeping skills to "pull people" to be their aunts.
After understanding, Ye Junmei smiled, and a trace of pride sprouted: Since my brother woke up, the world has been very different. Pengcheng's bookworm, who no one cares about, is now also the golden beetle son-in-law who is hotly pursued by many rich families.
Of course, all the big premises. It also depends on whether Ye Junsheng can be named in the township test.
Somehow, Ye Junmei didn't feel much worry about this. has experienced a lot, and every time it has been proved that nothing can be difficult to get a brother.
Who is my brother? The world's first talent, can it be difficult to defeat him in the township test?
However, there was a nest of people around the door all day long, and it didn't feel good to see everyone. Just like the stars of later generations, you have to watch out for whether the toilet is equipped with a camera when you go to the toilet. Very uncomfortable.
Ye Junsheng wanted to release the pig demon and drive everyone away like he did in Jizhou. But Jingshi is unusual, and the pig demon can't show up easily.
This is the case. The pig demon also knows. But this rammer didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but was extremely envious: when can he change his body. I also want to take the exam or something, and then marry five, six, seven, or eight daughters......
Life is like this. What kind of monster are you still doing?
Woo woo, it's a pity. Since following the master, the ideal of opening a big harem can no longer be realized......
The pig demon sighed.
With a glance in his eyes, the Great Sage knew what was going on in his heart, but he ignored it, took care of himself, and continued to close his eyes and recuperate.
......
It was night, and the mansion of the second prince Zhao Kuangming was brightly lit.
In the study, he sat upright in a chair and solemnly flipped through the documents in front of him.
These documents were transmitted back by the eyes and ears of the various state capitals.
Zhao Kuangming has been talented since he was a child, has a strategic mind, and is unwilling to be subordinate. It's a pity that he is not the eldest son, so he can't live in the East Palace. However, the eldest brother Zhao Kuangqi has a tyrannical personality and a bad reputation, and is not loved by civil and military officials, but he gives him hope.
At present, in the next year or two, it is the most critical.
He knew that his father's body might not be able to drag on for too long. If he goes, the eldest brother will ascend the throne naturally, and everything will be irretrievable.
There is no doubt that once a son of heaven and a courtier, at that time, the forces on Zhao Kuangming's side will be hit like a storm, and if they are not careful, they will even be uprooted.
Therefore, not only for himself, but also for the sake of those who follow, he must do something.
The first step is to win over people's hearts, especially virtuous talents.
This is also a major reason why he attaches great importance to Ye Junsheng. From the comments and feedback of Gu Xuezheng, Li Yifeng and others, they are extremely optimistic about Ye Junsheng, and there is no shortage of praise. Quite rare, so to speak.
On the other hand, Ye Junsheng's performance is remarkable. There is no doubt about talent, and all that needs to be proved is only the head of the government.
The township test will be the first step.
It can be said that the imperial examination belongs to the politics of writing, and it is evident that there is a leopard in the tube.
So, in this year's township examination, can Ye Junsheng fight his way out of the encirclement and win the title of the gold list?
This township test is a rare sight in decades. The world's scholars gathered, the talents were like clouds, and the grand occasion was grand. In such a situation, it is especially difficult to achieve the best results.
Besides, there are constant off-the-field factors. On the eldest brother's side, he unexpectedly targeted Ye Junsheng and repeatedly attacked. From this, it can be seen that the meaning of jealousy is fully revealed.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, such a generous deal with a talent with no background, it is inconceivable to say it.
It is not surprising that Ye Junsheng is the person who thinks of Ye Junsheng as his own. But that alone is not enough. There must be a special reason, and the biggest possibility is on her sister Zhao Emei.
It is also said that on the champion building, Zhao Emei uncharacteristically went to help Ye Junsheng out of the siege, which was quite inconsistent with his usual cold temperament.
That's it, I don't want to do that, as long as I am sure that Ye Junsheng will be on my side, it is enough. As long as this son shines and passes the township test, the meeting test, and the palace test, the future is limitless.
Perhaps, because of this, the eldest brother wants to directly strangle Ye Junsheng, causing him to be stillborn.
"Hmph, I'm not going to let you get your wish. ”
There was a gleam in his eyes.
The prince has a plan, and he also has it,-for-tat, and he will take action when he should act.
Overwhelmed by this thought, he took out a painting scroll on a whim. opened, the pen and ink were clear, it was Ye Junsheng's "Looking at the Blue Sky with White Eyes".
This painting, contrary to the style of today's art world, the brush is biased, and the shape is very strange. However, Zhao Kuangming had the city in mind, and after careful consideration, he understood the meaning of the painting.
Smart man, Ye Junsheng is really a smart man.
So, let's wait and see the results of the final township test public list.
Steady progress, and or the hidden dragon in the abyss, all in the day. (To be continued......)
