On the other side, after Shen Yichen and the others walked out of Zhanyuan, Zhang Qi, the fat man, realized what he was doing and said in a daze: "Brother, are we leaving like this?"

"Otherwise, what are you still doing there?"

"Show off! Didn't you see what the expressions of those bastards turned into? Of course they must be ridiculed severely at this time!"

Zhang Qi did not care at all about the words and deeds of those so-called gentlemen. In his opinion, repaying injustice with injustice and revenge with hatred is the right way.

The aggressive behavior of those guys before was barely enough to stop them. Now the eldest brother, Shen Yichen, slapped them in the face with poems. Naturally, they had to be humiliated to relieve their anger.

"It doesn't matter, these people don't interest me."

The "dramatic change in temperament" shown by Shen Yichen was more due to planning needs, rather than being as domineering as a playboy to seek some psychological satisfaction.

Even taking a step back, even if Shen Yichen had the heart to step on others to show off, he had no intention of looking for these young men at the flower viewing party.

Even though they seem to have good status and talents, they are actually just false names. They have no real status and power in the family, and their talents and learning are outside. They cannot be called real geniuses. Stepping on them is not equivalent to pecking each other. ?

My actions today are enough to suppress the rumors about the imperial examination fraud in Chengguo Gongfu's private school. There is not much point in doing anything else.

And there are many things that are too much and not enough. Today, there are not only young masters and scholars present, but also senior ministers from Nanjing City in Jingmiao Hall. If they see that they are aggressive, according to the logic of this era, I am afraid they will not get praise, but disgust. .

Shen Yichen's life experience in two lifetimes is very clear about the principle of giving up when things are good.

The only thing that made Shen Yichen feel a little unhappy was that his actions were equivalent to saving Zhu Qingyu and others in disguise.

To be honest, if Shen Yichen had not been kidnapped on a ship of the Chengguo Gongfu Family School, he would have reported it to the Confucian Examination Department. There would definitely be a problem with these Zhu family members being captured by the government. !

"Brother, where should we go next?"

"Everyone goes back to his own home."

"Just go back like this? Don't you want to have some fun?"

"What kind of fun do you want?"

"I heard that a barbarian singer came to Peach Blossom House recently. She has a strange and beautiful appearance. How about the two of us go and have a look?"

Hearing this, Shen Yichen was happy. The barbarian singers in the Ming Dynasty were most likely from Central Asia or Russia. To put it bluntly, they were Mao Mei.

Unexpectedly, going back hundreds of years, someone would invite me to see Mao Mei...

Normally, Shen Yichen might not be able to hold back his curiosity and go take a look. But now that he has the interest, he doesn't have the time.

"Forget it, let's go take a look after the hospital exam is over."

The college examination is in mid-May, which is only a few days away. More importantly, the government examination will formally test classics and meaning questions, which is a brand new challenge for Shen Yichen.

Therefore, he planned to seize the remaining time to make his basic knowledge of scriptures more solid.

"All right……"

There was a hint of disappointment on Zhang Qi's face, but he soon adjusted and said: "Brother, work hard and be sure to get back the first case of the individual hospital, and even three yuan for primary and secondary schools to make our outer courtyard home proud and proud!"

The most ridiculed aspect of the Outer Court School by the Inner Court School is the gap in academic achievements.

The last scholar in the entire outer courtyard school was Zeng Mengjian a few years ago. Although many people later passed the Tongsheng examination, no one passed the academy examination.

The reason is that the examiners for the county examination and the government examination are all local officials of Yingtian Prefecture, such as Jiangning County Magistrate, Yingtian Prefecture Yin, etc.

If you are a local official, you will inevitably have some local cunning and sophistication. Just like in modern society in later generations, if something happens locally, many people's first thought is to find someone to say hello and solve it.

Putting it on the imperial examination is a hint to take care of one's nephew.

However, the chief examiners of the college examinations were academic officials from each province and were appointed by the imperial court to oversee the imperial examinations and education work in each province, which was equivalent to the direct parachuting of an "imperial minister of education".

Being airborne means that there are not so many complicated relationships with local powerful people. In addition, most of them are censors who have the power to report to heaven. It is not easy to get them to show favoritism.

Therefore, most of the students in the outer courtyard's private schools are stuck in the status of Tongsheng. They need to prove themselves by becoming a scholar, otherwise they will be laughed at by the clan members in the inner courtyard.

Shen Yichen has already taken down two cases. He only needs to take one more step forward to achieve the achievement of the small three yuan. This may not be comparable to the big three yuan, but it is not something that ordinary people can do. It is enough to fight back. The group of people in the hospital are well connected.

"Just do your best."

Shen Yichen once had the idea of ​​​​connecting small and medium-sized three yuan, but there are too many factors that affect this kind of thing, and even luck accounts for a large part.

Unless Zhu Yong, the Duke of Cheng, personally helps him stand up, he cannot be absolutely sure.

After saying this, Shen Yichen said goodbye to Zhang Qi and walked home alone.

But halfway through, Shen Yichen suddenly changed his mind and headed to the courtyard of industry master Lin Zhen.

Because after Shen Yichen's government examination, he understood the importance of grasping the examiner's writing style preferences through the gamble of "etiquette" and "order".

The examiner of the college examination is Sun Ding, the academic officer of Ti Xue. He is an old friend of Lin Zhen, his professional teacher. Shen Yichen has no idea of ​​showing favoritism in private greetings. However, if he can know Sun Tixue's literary style preference, he can then join him. Well, there's nothing out of the ordinary about this.

Shen Yichen had always been unwilling to disturb Lin Zhen about this matter before, fearing that the other party would think that he was too utilitarian and would affect his personal impression.

After experiencing the Zhaowen Academy incident, Shen Yichen was very sure that he had formed a fixed image of being cautious and cautious in Lin Zhen's heart. If he went to find him at this time, he would not have to worry about any negative consequences. On the contrary, he would also get Lin Zhen's help. Praise.

This kid finally got the idea and realized that young people should be aggressive and enterprising!

All things are really like planting flowers but not blooming, and planting willows and willows unintentionally.

What Shen Yichen, who went to Lin Zhen's courtyard, didn't know was that after the flower-viewing party, his "Sword Like a Rainbow" and his remarks about "breaking poems cost three catties a day" were spread very quickly. Every corner of Yingtian Mansion.

It even surpassed the previous "Linjiang Immortal" and "Jinmingchi". After all, this time's remarks were too explosive. After the Wei and Jin Dynasties were born, with the development of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, there were very few literati who would release Shen Yichen Such arrogance.

What's even more outrageous is that Shen Yichen not only said what he said, but actually outdid everyone else and turned his wild words into facts.

Coupled with the two lyrics that were circulated before, Shen Yichen now has a vague feeling of being the leader of Yingtianfu literati poetry. No one has ever thought that in a place like Jinling where talents are born in large numbers, the person who is now at the top will be A boy who is only seventeen years old.

Naturally, those rumors about Shen Yichen's imperial examination fraud have disappeared.

If anyone dares to question Shen Yichen's talent without a long-sighted mind at this time, someone will definitely retort and say, if you have the ability, write a poem that is comparable to Shen Yichen's. If you can't write it, where will you lose your face? To question someone else’s cheating?

The best way to respond to doubts is to use absolute strength to make others undisputed!

In the Taining Hou Mansion, Chen Ying happened to pass by his daughter's room, but through the window sill he saw Chen Qingtong smiling foolishly at Shen Yichen's poem.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ying felt complicated. He didn't know how to choose the relationship between his daughter and Shen Yichen now. Should he continue to beat the couple, or choose to let nature take its course.

"Ahem...is this poem so beautiful?"

Chen Ying deliberately coughed twice to remind Chen Qingtong of his arrival, and to express his dissatisfaction with his daughter's troubled state.

"Dad, I...I just want to take a look."

Suddenly seeing his father appear behind him, coupled with the previous warning and six-month grounding, Chen Qingtong was also panicked.

I was afraid that this would anger Chen Ying and lead to even stricter supervision.

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Chen Ying couldn't help but sigh, shook his head and said: "Qingtong, there are many talented gentlemen in the world. Shen Yichen is indeed outstanding, but he is not outstanding. Sometimes you have to broaden your horizons." It’s more open.”

"Dad, brother Yichen, is it true that he doesn't stand out from the crowd?"

After Chen Qingtong said that, he moved his eyes to the poem on the desk. The meaning was obvious.

This rhetorical question made Chen Ying speechless for a moment. Indeed, among the descendants of officials and officials he was familiar with, no one could match Shen Yichen's talent.

Even if other literati are as talented as Shen Yichen, their status and family background are much better than his. Is there any difference?

Chen Ying, Marquis of Taining, never considered himself a snobbish person. After all, the only way up to his title was to become a duke.

As for the difficulty of being promoted to Duke, unless the Ming Dynasty once again establishes a new monarch and obtains the merit of following the dragon, it is basically impossible to even think about it.

Therefore, Chen Ying has reached the pinnacle of human affairs and no longer needs to curry favor with anyone. Naturally, there is no need to talk about being snobbish.

But precisely because he valued his daughter, he judged Shen Yichen with the most vulgar eyes, even though he knew the other person's talent and prospects, he still beat the mandarin duck.

Looking back now, I was ultimately wrong.

"Qingtong, my biggest worry in this life is how to help you find a good family. In this way, even if I am a hundred years from now, I can still have an explanation with your mother."

"My father has always used the strictest standards to examine Shen Yichen. Even though he has many advantages, he has never been recognized because he is not high enough and powerful."

"Today's flower-viewing party also made my father think clearly. The light in some people cannot be suppressed. Shen Yichen is by no means a mediocre person. Just like what the poem says, he was awarded the title of Marquis and General. Only then can he realize his soul-stirring talent."

"So... so dad will no longer interfere with your feelings, as long as you can be happy in the future."
