Chapter 198 Lu Ben was beaten and hit by a board

Inside the private room of the teahouse.

Mrs. Xia, Liao Miaoxian, was sitting opposite Xu Miaoyun, a little reserved.

She just took her two children and wanted to catch up, and gave the only piece of vegetable pancake to her husband who was going to be a scholar.

Did not catch up.

I accidentally saw this young lady walking her husband into the examination room with her two infant children.

With just one glance, she felt a little envious.

The same family of four, the same warmth, and the same husband who is going to take the exam.

The husband's Confucian shirt is obviously made of rural homespun cloth, but it is brand new. She also wants to make a brand new Confucian shirt for her husband.

But I can't even eat, so I can't think about anything else.

The clothes worn by this young lady are quite simple, but the clothes of the two infants are exquisite and elegant.

One can tell at a glance that this young couple is reluctant to treat their children badly.

At that time, she judged that the other party was not particularly rich, but he must be a wealthy family with surplus food.

It has all the excellent family traditions that a warm and small family should have, such as hard work, frugality, and simplicity.

This kind of home was what she was looking forward to.

So I took a second look.

Unexpectedly, this young lady would come to talk to her.

Still come to such a high-end tea house.

I ordered several items for them, and the food made people drool just looking at it.

Hot pancakes with golden brown on both sides, filled with red bean filling, steaming steamed buns...

Either way, I haven't eaten it at home for several years.

Fortunately, the two children were very proud of her. Although they were hungry, they did not forget etiquette because of the food.

Through chatting, she already knew.

The other party's name is Xu Daya.

It's not a very nice name.

My husband's name is Zhu Silang, well... this name is also very rustic.

I really don't know how two young people who have studied gave themselves such a name.

Maybe their parents don't have much knowledge.

Xu Da: ...

Zhu Yuanzhang: ...

A family of four lives in Tuqiao Village, Jiangning. Just a year after they got married, the eldest daughter is very powerful.

The flying heifer of women!
Awesome!
According to Da Ya, they got married a year ago and still lived in a mud hut.

A year after getting married, Zhu Silang carried his head to farm and served in corvee. While doing business, he took the villagers to Liaodong to transport grain, grass and military equipment.

Only then did the family get better and better.

At the end of last year, another house was built.

had a baby.

In short, from the way Daya treats people, we can see that she is a very remarkable woman.

Ruo Daya didn't deliberately exaggerate Zhu Silang.

Zhu Silang is a young man with a flexible mind, who can hold a pen to test his achievements, and can also hold a head to farm.

The two young people form a pair, which can be regarded as a match made by God, a match made in heaven.

"Eat, you're welcome." Xu Huizu hugged Xiao Yongming, smiled and used the serving chopsticks to pick up something for Xia Yuanji and his brother.

Liao Miaoxian's thoughts were interrupted, restraining her thoughts of envy, and cautiously probed: "Big girl, we met by chance..."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and looked down at the little Qihua in her arms, "As a mother of two children, she also has a warm family of four."

Liao Miaoxian is a smart woman who understands instantly.

"Sister Miaoxian has asked me a lot, and she already knows my details, so I wonder if I can tell your story?"

Liao Miaoxian suddenly realized that Xu Daya was not young and careless.

People talked so much to her in order to make her let down her guard.

Embarrassedly smiled, "My husband's ancestral home is Dexing, Jiangxi, and he can be regarded as a scholarly family. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the war broke out, and the family was destroyed by the rebels..."

……

Room next door.

Mao Aliu heaved a sigh of relief, grinned and laughed, and said in a low voice: "Our young lady is kind-hearted, just seeing that the other party has the same family of four, and they are also very warm, but they are poor, so I am moved with compassion, there is no other way. reason……"

"Shut up!" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded with a suppressed laugh.

Asshole stuff.

How long have you been with him?

How long did it take to go to the side of the bastard fourth?
One mouthful, one young master and one young lady, that's all.

In just over a month, my buttocks were completely crooked!

It is no longer biased.

It's completely sitting on the side of the bastard fourth.

He can be sure that if he conflicts with the fourth child, this bastard will not turn towards him again.

Mao Laoliu smiled and bowed his head.

Ma Xiuying looked at her with a smile. There was finally someone beside the fourth child who was wholehearted and only thinking about him.

The only thing that makes her a little regretful is that.

Jiang Yu replaced Mao Xiang's position, and the father-son relationship between Zhongba and Lao Si was bridged, and there were many hidden dangers.

No.

It's the same for anyone.

It is impossible for someone like Mao Xiang to secretly do so many things for the father and son.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to listen...

After this Xia Shimin fled to Xiangyin, Changsha, he first worked as a husband in a country gentleman's family.

Well done, the other party not only recommended him to the county school as an instructor, but also personally secured the matchmaker and married the woman next door who was born in a farming and studying family.

After Xia Shimin passed the Tongsheng examination, he failed the scholar examination repeatedly.

But the teaching ability is very strong.

No worse than the old four young couples, the students they teach have a high rate of passing the exam.

The Xiangyin region passed the township examination, and recommended Xia Shimin to the Imperial Academy.

This is in line with the rules.

Although there is an imperial examination, it has become the main way to select talents.

But the past dynasties did not completely abolish the inspection system.

It's just that, in the past, the probation system directly served as an official, but in this dynasty's probation system, one had to go to the Guozijian to study first, and the court had to inspect it.

Retaining the review system is to reserve a way for some scholars who have failed in repeated trials but have good moral character.

His arrangement has three advantages.

[-]. Tell scholars all over the world that moral integrity is also very valuable.

[-]. Some capable people are not good at imperial examinations for some unknown reason. Preserving the imperial examination system can avoid the loss of truly talented people.

[-]. The center of the imperial court often lacks officials with knives and pens, or small officials in green robes such as nine ranks, imperial examinations and Jinshi, and disdain to do these trivial things.

This part of the investigation will enter the Guozijian, and scholars with good moral character will be able to undertake this part of the affairs.

And also put an end to the central knife and pen official, family inheritance.

The imperial court can't spend a lot of money, and the official positions they provide are relatively low. Those who are really capable and powerful would rather move to the north in private and get tested in the northern list, rather than follow the path of the procuratorial system.

This road belongs to those children from poor families who are really good in character and integrity.

……

"Did you fail the Imperial College exam?" Xu Miaoyun asked in surprise.

Imperial Academy's recruitment exam.

Compared with the imperial examination, it is much simpler.

For the talents recommended by the township, the recruitment criteria are more relaxed, and the moral integrity of the recommended is more inspected.

She suspected that the Imperial College was tricky.

This is very possible. Some people, with power as small as a chicken feather, want to take advantage of it everywhere. Maybe Xia Shimin didn't manage the other party.

Mrs. Xia shook her head, bowing her head bitterly.

Her husband is really talented, not only proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, but also proficient in various miscellaneous studies such as mathematics and agriculture.

The children taught have a very high pass rate.

It is the most famous instruction in Xiangyin.

I don't know how many squires hired famous teachers for their children, and even sent their children to county schools to be taught by their husbands.

It is precisely because of this, coupled with the praise of her husband's moral integrity, that so many people are willing to recommend it to the Imperial College.

There are more than a dozen talents cultivated by her husband.

But he himself failed in the test of talent.

It seems that there is no fate in the imperial examination.

"I failed the Guozijian exam, exhausted all my money, and couldn't make it back to Xiangyin, so my husband decided to pass the exam at Yingtianfu."

Xu Miaoyun smiled, took a piece of pancake, put it in the bowl in front of Liao Miaoxian, took a piece herself, said while eating, "Perhaps there will be unexpected results in failing the exam!"

If Xia Shimin is really talented.

There are only two reasons for repeated failures.

One is that they have a poor mentality and can't take exams. Many scholars have this problem. When they arrive at the exam room, they are nervous and unable to perform.

One is that Xiangyin District Court Examination is too tricky, and Xia Shimin is too unlucky, every time he encounters the default operation in the dark.

The imperial examination competition in Jiangnan was already very fierce.

Those who are truly powerful and capable quietly move to the north to let their family members take the exam for the north list.

The next-best ones will make internal decisions in secret.

There are too many pre-determined quotas, leaving candidates with no background like Xia Shimin, the chances will naturally be less.

The imperial court knew about this kind of thing, but there was no way to prevent it. As long as some wine bags and rice bags were not ordered in, the imperial court could only pinch its nose and recognize it.

But this year's Yingtianfu Courtyard Examination is different.

When Shiro participated in the hospital examination, everyone knew that his father would watch over him, and Ying Tianfu dared not make a secret decision even though he had the guts to do so.

At the same time, the difficulty is unprecedented.

This year's Tianfu Examination, the selected ones must have real skills.

If Xia Shimin had real skills, failing the exam this time could be regarded as a chance meeting, and he made the right choice.

High probability can stand out.

Failing the exam is tailor-made for some students who have no time to return to their hometown.
But there are also some rules, such as, candidates from the south are not allowed to go to the north to fail the exam...

Of course, these rules can only restrain scholars who have no background or whose background is not strong enough.

"Sister Miaoxian, Shiro and I are in Tuqiao Village, teaching a group of children for free. We need a batch of books. We want to save some money and plan to hire someone to copy the books. We just met you. I wonder if you would like to take this job. Son?"

……

Next door, Zhu Yuanzhang heard it, grinned, and muttered: "Look at how good this girl is in dealing with people. She not only helps people, but also preserves their dignity. Our old Zhu family married such a daughter-in-law. It's an advantage, it's an advantage." ..."

Ma Xiuying smiled and stared.

He reminded: "If this Xia Shimin fails the exam in Yingtian Mansion and passes the exam as a scholar, you will have to take good care of the Imperial College."

The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face gradually disappeared, "It's not just the Imperial College that needs to be rectified, even the local examinations must be rectified!"

It can be said that Ying Tianfu's hospital exam is unprecedentedly difficult.

There is absolutely no black box operation.

If Xia Shimin passes the examination of scholar.

There are too many problems exposed!

"Wait and see, wait for the results of the hospital examination!" Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes.

"If the fourth child is a scholar, and this Xia Shimin is also a scholar, we will beat and beat Lu Ben!"

Indulging in the private use of Lu Ben's official equipment before the exam, but it doesn't mean that after the exam, he won't settle accounts later.

What's more, the Guozijian is also under the management of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites also has the supervision responsibility for the local examinations.

Xia Shimin was the best excuse.

Is it reasonable that a person who can be a scholar in this year's examination cannot pass the Imperial Academy's recruitment examination?

As Lu Ben is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, even if he has not been promoted for a long time, he will still have to suffer when the board falls down!

After all, Xia Shimin Guozijian's admission test came after he was promoted.

If he doesn't hit the board, Lu Ben will only stare at the fourth child, ignoring the Imperial Academy and the district court exams!
Of course, the premise is that the fourth child will give him a voice and pass the examination to become a scholar.

If you fail the exam and beat Lu Ben, others will say: Zhu Yuanzhang's son is incompetent, he failed the exam as a scholar, and blamed Lu Ben.
