I had known that I wouldn’t think about the literati character in my mind at that time, so I honestly hug my thighs and lie down before I talk about it.

"But I think you don't look very good."

A Niu was quite straightforward and said it out directly when he found something wrong.

"Maybe it was in the carriage."

Chen Yichen didn't like the bumps of the carriage, and A Niu knew about this. When he got off the boat from Tongzhou and went to Yingtian Guild Hall, he almost didn't vomit Chen Yichen.

"Then Brother Chen, please go back to your room and have some rest first."

"good."

Chen Yichen nodded, then returned to his room, sat in front of the desk, thinking about the future direction in his mind.

After a long silence, Chen Yichen picked up the brush and wrote the three big words "Qian Xili" on the paper.

When he was in Yingtian Mansion, his teacher Lin Zhen emphasized his three connections in the capital, so that Chen Yichen must not forget to visit him respectfully.

They were Wang Ying, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites at the examination that year, Qian Xili, the head of the Hanlin Academy of Fang Shi, and Lin Wen, the fellow townsman and old friend of the same age.

Wang Ying, the Minister of Rites, and Chen Yichen, had already contacted him at the Luming Banquet and left an excellent impression on the other party. There is no need to rush to visit him for the time being.

As for Tanhua Lang Lin Wen, his current official position is Hanlin Staff, and he is at the same level as Zhou Xu. He doesn’t help much in the examination, and he can also slowly wait later.

Only Qian Xili, the chief magistrate of Hanlin Academy, remembers correctly that Chen Yichen was the chief examiner of the Zhengtong Tenth Year Yichou Crime Examination, and also won the top scholar of Shang Lu, who was ranked three-yuan.

So if you want to have the advantage of being familiar with your face in the exam, then Qian Xili is the connection that you must operate.

Chen Yichen did not intend to visit him in a hurry, because he had just won the Shuntian Prefecture Provincial Examination and was in the limelight, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at him.

In addition, Chen Yichen visited Zhou Xu privately after Lu Ming Banquet. At that time, he casually talked about the hints and doubts of the outer curtain invigilator Cheng Fu in an indignant tone.

The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Then, contacted that a new imperial examination student had attacked at that time and proposed to read the articles of the provincial examination, which made Chen Yichen feel a little uneasy.

After all, he had experienced fraud in the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion, and Tang Bohu's previous experience, Chen Yichen realized that such a high-profile visit to the examiner would easily become a handle for attacks in the future.

So he decided to temporarily postpone the visit to Qian Xili and choose to act in a low-key manner, so as to no longer attract attention.

However, the incident of visiting Hu Yi today forced Chen Yichen to speed up. The reason is that Hu Yi failed to support himself. Although he turned against him and was unlikely to deliberately suppress him, he would definitely focus on others.

The imperial examination is different from the previous provincial examinations, boy examinations, rankings and other things have no practical benefits except honors.

The ranking of the palace examination will directly determine the future prospects. Even if the difference in rankings is ultimately reflected in the career of the officialdom, it will lead to huge differences.

Therefore, Chen Yichen must lay a foundation for contact with Qian Xili before Hu Yi supports others, so as to ensure that the association will not be squeezed behind by the related parties.

It is even possible that he wants to compete for the title of Chengyuan, so that he can be given priority to being noticed by the emperor in the palace examination.
