"Mom, no matter what happens, I will let you see this scene."

Shen Yichen nodded solemnly. Even if his mother didn't say this, he would one day stand upright in front of Zhu Yong.

But whether it is as a son or not is another matter.

Ms. Shen never doubted Shen Yichen's words, even if he looked unbearable before. She smiled and touched Shen Yichen's head. Now her son is almost a head taller than her.

"You are hungry. Mom will prepare some food for you."

"Um."

After dinner, Shen Yichen returned to his room and began to carefully study some eight-part essay examples from the imperial examinations over the years.

These imperial examination essays, especially those in Sandingjia, will be compiled into books and sold by specialized booksellers after the results are released every year for future generations of students to study and study.

Regarding next year's college examination, Shen Yichen's previous mentality was to try his best. No matter what the result was, at least he had tried hard.

But now his mentality has changed. He must pass the scholar examination in the college examination next year. If possible, he will try to get the position of the head of the case. Even in the provincial examination at the end of next year, Shen Yichen will be determined to win.

Because today's "gift" gave Shen Yichen a big warning. That is, today Mrs. Lin is still willing to use money to solve the problem. When she finds that she can't solve the problem, what will she do as a duchess? ?

Ancient society was like the law of the jungle. Sometimes ordinary people were so humble in front of the powerful that they did not even have the most basic ability to resist.

If you want to change this situation, the only thing you can do is to gain fame and protect yourself!

At the same time, Shen Yichen was vaguely grateful. If he had agreed to Zhu Yong's prison without knowing anything about it, and successfully entered the family tree, the mother and son would have returned to the Chengguo Palace.

So what happened to Wang, will it happen to his mother one day?

Even if Mrs. Wang was not directly killed by Mrs. Lin, it is easy to dodge open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows. Once you enter this deep compound, many methods are really difficult to guard against.

Not to mention a gentle woman like my mother, even if she has two lifetimes of memories, she may not be able to outplay the Lin family.

At least now, she is still a maidservant who has not been included in the genealogy, and the mother and son are still excluded by Duke Cheng. Mrs. Lin may have sensed a hint of threat, but the status of the two parties is far apart, and they should be able to remain stable for a while.

I didn’t expect that by being in the limelight, I would not only gain fame in Yingtian Mansion, but also that a storm was coming...

The next day, Shen Yichen went to the Chengguogongfu private school as usual, but Mrs. Lin's "generous gift" was also returned by her mother, Mrs. Shen.

The other party didn't make any follow-up actions, and everything seemed to be calm again, but I didn't know how long this peaceful day could last.

Time passed day by day, and soon it was the monthly holiday. Shen Yichen declined Zhao Hongjie's invitation to go on a trip together, and as agreed with her husband Li Tingxiu, came to the corner gate of Chengguo Duke's Mansion to meet with him. A senior.

At this moment, a carriage had been parked in the alley outside Jiaomen. Li Tingxiu saw Shen Yichen coming and waved to him, indicating that he would get in the car and sit with him.

Sitting on the carriage, Shen Yichen looked at it curiously. To be honest, this was his first time traveling through time and riding a means of transportation of this era. But it didn't feel very good. After all, there were no shock-absorbing parts like tires and springs on the road surface. It is wobbly if it is slightly uneven.

"Why, you've never been in a carriage?"

Seeing Shen Yichen's curious baby look, Li Tingxiu asked.

"Um."

Ever since she was a child, Shen Yichen's living area has basically been fixed around the Chengguo Duke's Mansion. There has been no opportunity to travel far away, and there is no need to take a carriage.

"The ancients talked about the six arts of a gentleman. Although they are no longer advocated now, as a distinguished relative, you still need to be familiar with riding and shooting if you have the opportunity."

"Students understand."

Shen Yichen understood the truth. He was also quite interested in trying horse riding and archery, but he had to have this opportunity.

Li Tingxiu was not a talkative person. After a few words of conversation, he began to close his eyes and meditate. With the sound of wheels creaking, the carriage stopped in front of an elegant courtyard.

"We're here, get off the car."

"Sir, now is it time to tell me which senior you are going to meet today?"

"Lin Zhen, the number one scholar in Gengxu subjects in the fifth year of Xuande's reign."

What?

When she heard this name, Shen Yichen was stunned. Zhao Hongjie had said excitedly before that Lin Zhen, the No. 1 scholar, wanted to invite him to a winter solstice poetry gathering.

At that time, I didn't take it seriously at all. As a result, I never expected that the senior I was going to meet with Li Tingxiu today was this Zhuangyuan Gong. Could it be that he really was in the same year as him in the imperial examination?

Before he could recover, Li Tingxiu had already got off the carriage. Seeing this, Shen Yichen had no choice but to follow him quickly, and the two of them walked into the courtyard one after another.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw two scribes in green shirts standing at the entrance of the main hall. The one on the left saw Li Tingxiu, raised his hands to greet him and said: "Wei Chu (Li Tingxiu's courtesy name), I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing?"

Li Tingxiu also returned the greeting and said: "Brother Dunsheng (Lin Zhen), it's been a long time."

Shen Yichen didn't know that Lin Zhen's character was Dunsheng, but in ancient times, the left was respected, and the other party took the initiative to welcome guests. If nothing else happened, he was the owner of this courtyard, Lin Zhen, the number one scholar in the fifth year of Xuande.

"By the way, Weichu, let me introduce to you. This is Sun Tixue, whose courtesy name is Yixuan, who is the admiral of Yingtian Academy of Political Science."

"The student has seen the great master!"

The title of "Admiral of Academic Affairs" is an official title. His duty is to be in charge of the imperial examination and education work of a province, and he is also responsible for selection and supervision. Therefore, students and scholars all over the world will respect the "Admiral of Academic Affairs" as "Grand Master".

Although Li Tingxiu had won the imperial examination, he had not served as an official. So when facing the academic governor of Nanzhili, he still regarded himself as a student and addressed him by his honorific title.

Shen Yichen was standing behind him at the moment, thinking about how to salute and say hello. But when he put his eyes on Sun Tixue, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him before somewhere.

Soon an idea flashed in his mind, and Shen Yichen remembered where he had seen it. Isn't this the same Sun Tixue who was applauded by his tablemates after hearing Zeng Meng's poems at the family banquet of Duke Cheng Guo?

I really didn't expect that I would meet him here. Sure enough, we meet him everywhere in life...

"Wei Chu, this is not an officialdom. There is no need to be polite with these false names. It's better to call me as an old friend."

Sun Tixue replied with a smile. He came here today to meet old friends, so he didn't want to be polite and polite as in official circles.

In addition, he also plans to meet a new junior.

After saying that, Sun Tixue placed his eyes on Shen Yichen, his eyes full of amusement.

Seeing Sun Tixue's eyes looking over, Shen Yichen knew that the other party must have recognized him, so he could only bite the bullet and salute: "Wan Sheng has met the Number One Scholar and the Grand Master."

Lin Zhen had returned to his hometown as an official and had no official position, so Shen Yichen called him Zhuangyuan Gong. As a student who had not yet entered school, he had no choice when it came to being promoted to an academic officer by the province and could only be honored as Grand Master.

"Young friend Shen, we meet again."

"Great Grand Master, I am ashamed to be born late."

Shen Yichen quickly said humbly, he couldn't afford to be called a "little friend" because in the Ming Dynasty, only those with the lowest grade of school age were qualified to be called a "little friend". If it was a student's title, he could call him a polite name if he didn't know him. Old friend.

At the family banquet before, Zhou Zhixian was deceived and mistakenly thought that he was a junior high school student, so he was called Shen Xiaoyou.
