Sheng Suihe returned to the Sheng family in the late spring and early summer of the 30th year of Xuanjing. After the Sheng family opened the ancestral hall on New Year's Eve of that year, he was officially included in the genealogy, and he was named the eldest son in order of age. Since then, the ranking of his peers has moved back one step. Bit.
In the 31st year of Xuanjing's college examination, the county government's third exam was at the top of the list. Although it was not Xiao Sanyuan, it was something Sheng Lanci had not achieved that year - whether Sheng Lanci was named on the gold list at the age of twenty, Bu He didn't win the first prize in the Luoyuan Examination, the Provincial Examination, the General Examination, and the Palace Examination.
After Sheng Suihe won the first battle, everyone in the Sheng Mansion in the east was overjoyed.
Sheng Lanci even temporarily handed over all the business to Feng and Sheng Fu at the instruction of Mrs. Sheng, and dedicated a year to tutoring Sheng Suihe in his homework.
And Sheng Suihe and Mei Xiang failed to meet the expectations of the Sheng family. In the provincial examination in the autumn of Xuanjing's 32nd year, he won Jieyuan again!
So much so that the county magistrate, who was not allowed to be promoted for two years due to the death of the Hong family and was somewhat resentful of the Sheng family, took the initiative to express his goodwill to Sheng Lanci and recommended his twelve-year-old daughter to Sheng Lan. In fact, Due to the popularity of merchants in Nanfeng County, the literary style is not prosperous. There is often a gap between the local Jieyuan and the talents of those major scientific counties.
A level like Sheng Lanci's has been around for decades.
The county guard's ancestral home was in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was really a hero who came out of the big county in the scientific examination. In the huge Nanfeng County, except for Sheng Lanci, who was on the gold list at the age of 20 and entered the Hanlin Academy and became an official because of his filial piety, he could not see any single literary talent.
With such a vision, a nineteen-year-old Jieyuan and the county governor would not have thought about getting married, but it was because Sheng Suihe's article really surprised him: "I dare to ask Brother Xinzhang, before the son recognizes his ancestor and returns to the clan, , have you ever worshiped someone in the family? The article you wrote for the examination, written by Yu Di, is from a high position and full of clouds, but it is not like that of your elder brother. It is so old and spicy that it reminds Yu Di of Duke Huan, whom he had read a few years ago. The old work is here! Brother Xinzhang, forgive me for telling me bluntly: Nanfeng County is in the east, so I’m afraid no one can teach such talented people!”
It's not surprising that the county guard thought this. Since Sheng Suihe was Sheng Lanci's only male heir, Sheng Lanci had no reason to treat him badly even if he was raised outside. Maybe it was because he studied hard in a certain sect. , so why did you wait until the age of seventeen to recognize your ancestor and return to your clan
After all, although Sheng Lanci had been living in Nanfeng County for more than twenty years, he was still a person who had been in the Hanlin Academy. The ancestors of the Sheng family were not poor. When he was an official in Chang'an, he had no money in his legs to travel widely.
Is it possible to get to know someone or someone's relatives and friends at that time, and try to find ways to get the foreign wife to join our family
However, Sheng Lanci categorically denied this: "Quizi has been raised in Zhuangzi since he was a child. His previous teacher was just an old boy. It seems that he has some talent, but he can't help but push him, so he can be killed." After receiving the teachings from the mansion, Ru Ming looks very satisfied!"
"Then Ziren was born extraordinary!" The county magistrate was wrong about Sheng Lan's words, "Yang Jing couldn't stop urging him." Of course he didn't believe a word of it - the magistrate came from a wealthy family, and even though he was not a man, he didn't know it. In his opinion, when Mrs. Feng was childless, she did not keep Sheng Sleeping Crane in front of her. Instead, she did not move in until she was seventeen years old. This attitude must have been wrong. Lan Ci didn't deny it when he saw that his neighbor had no children, so he tried hard to persuade Feng to nod his head, but because of their love for each other, he just said that deliberately to cover Feng's face.
When the county magistrate thought about this, he hesitated to marry the Sheng family. If Mrs. Feng didn't like Sheng Suihe, how could she marry her daughter-in-law? My daughter was also raised in a pampered manner, and she fell into the lap of a malicious mother-in-law who was unrelated to her husband. She knew that her confinement would not be easy.
The key depends on Sheng Lanci's attitude. Even if the concubine is so proud that he has brought glory to the Sheng family, he still favors his first wife and his legitimate daughter. It's hard to say whether he will speak justice for his daughter when the time comes - although the county magistrate I regret Sheng Suihe's talent, but after all, he is a child of a wealthy family in Jiangnan. I have seen many young heroes, and I don't feel that I have to marry my daughter to him.
Thinking of this, the county magistrate stopped mentioning the marriage between the two families, secretly thinking that if Sheng Lanci was interested and took the initiative to ask for help, he would definitely take the initiative to make Dong a promise to treat his daughter well. In this way, even if Feng mistreats his daughter in the future, Sheng Because of her promise, Lan Ci couldn't help but leave her husband alone and let her wife bully her son-in-law. If Sheng Lanci didn't mention that, it was obvious that she didn't want to get married to him. Then he had the pearl in his hands, and there was no need to ask for it. He lowered his status and rushed to the Sheng family.
Otherwise, he chose Sheng Sleeping Crane's talent and shut up, "Qilin'er like that is truly enviable!"
Sheng Lanci was humble on behalf of his son, and then praised the county governor's son for his great talent and bright future. Then he looked annoyed and said: "Although he has passed the Jieyuan exam now, my dear brother also knows that he is Nanfeng." Jieyuan of the county was taken to the south of the Yangtze River and Shu, but it was inevitable that he would be forgotten by everyone! But he thought he was knowledgeable enough, so he actually planned to pack his bags and sail north before winter came, to go to Chang'an for the next year's examination - my father's year As he gets older, his grandchildren have always doted on him. Instead of saying that he is frivolous, he actually agrees with it! My father has made the decision in that matter, and Brother Yu can't keep his mouth shut. Will the trial be difficult, such as thousands of troops passing by? Dumuqiao, I don’t know how that unscrupulous man will come back in disgrace next year?”
Hearing this, the county governor frowned slightly and did not agree with it: "Please tell me if you can get the title of Jie Yuan in the first subject. I don't even bother to persuade you even if you want to be ranked first in the apricot list - if you are the best in the exam, if you are not in the exam, you can just watch. It doesn't matter." But as for the young master, Yudi also feels that it is not suitable for him to play in the East next year, otherwise it would be too wasteful!"
This is not because the county governor was afraid that Sheng Suihe would not be admitted in the exam. On the contrary, it was because he was afraid that Sheng Suihe would not be admitted. Of course, it was not because the county governor wanted to trick Sheng Suihe, but because at that time, he was wrong for young talents, especially outstanding young people. A kind of tacit "hard protection" for talented people: Since you are already very knowledgeable and even accomplished at a young age, it is really a waste to get an official title early and waste your energy on fame and fortune! It is better to continue studying while you are young and become a great scholar before becoming an official!
After all, there is a Jinshi in three years, and occasionally Enke is very good at it, but how many years does it take for a great scholar to appear
If Sheng Suihe revealed such thoughts before taking the imperial examination, the county magistrate would even discuss with Sheng Lanci to deliberately depose him, lest he aim too high and waste his extraordinary talent and youth given by God!
