Firecrackers were ringing, gongs and drums were ringing, and Chen Yichen's small courtyard could no longer bear the congratulations from so many people.

There is no way, so I can only set up a flowing mat in the alley. Anyway, I don’t know anyone. As long as you come over and congratulate me, sit down and enjoy the joy.

To be honest, it was at this moment that Chen Yichen realized that he was so popular.

It’s true that no one has ever asked about it for ten years, and he became famous all over the world.

Not only ordinary neighbors, but also a few carriages came to the entrance of the alley, namely the magistrate of Jiangning, the prefect of Yingtian, and the people who supervised the academic affairs administration came to congratulate him.

After all, Chen Yichen, the small and medium-sized three-yuan, was the one they personally ordered. He barely had the name of a teacher in name, so he sent someone to congratulate him on his proficiency.

Among them, the one sent by Yingtian Prefecture was Chen Yichen's acquaintance Bian He.

"My friend Chen, I haven't seen each other for only a month. Today I jumped into the dragon gate and won three yuan in a row."

Listening to Bian He's flattery, Chen Yichen replied with a smile: "Mr. Bian is not polite. Can this be called a three-yuan win in a row?"

"If you can't call me, just think I'm congratulating you in advance."

"Mr. Bian, you are so confident. I will be able to win the world in the future?"

"I believe in my own vision. Even if I can't do the world, my friend Chen will never be a thing in the pool."

When Bian He said this, he no longer had the hypocritical and polite smile on his face, but instead he seemed very serious.

To be honest, it may be that later generations have seen a lot of experience in the virtual world of the Internet, and Chen Yichen always has a hint of vigilance towards such strangers' sudden goodwill.

He never believed that there was any free lunch in this world.

Is it really just to make a good relationship if the other party makes friends with him like this?

"Mr. Bian, I haven't thanked you for helping you last time. If there is anything you can do, it's okay."

Since he owed a favor debt, the best way was to pay it back. So Chen Yichen raised it out indirectly, wanting to see what Bian He really wanted.

"My friend Chen, you are so vigilant."

To Chen Yichen's surprise, Bian He saw through his inner thoughts at first glance.

What was even more surprising was that the other party did not cover up any concealment and directly pointed it out, which was really not in line with the usual style of the staff.

"I don't have any derogatory meaning. In the future, people with low vigilance will not be able to reach the peak of power. So, my friend Chen, it is a good thing that you have this kind of vigilance."

"Oh, then it seems that I'm alert?"

"Yes, I did have some intentions."

For some reason, Bian He said straightforwardly that he had something to do, which made Chen Yichen feel much more at ease.

After all, it is very dangerous to deal with smart people these days and not know the other party’s trump card.

"I wonder what Mr. Bian is trying to do?"

"I want to help you with the title!"

Hearing this, Chen Yichen smiled faintly. He thought Bian He was a master, but the more he said it, the more he became more outrageous. Could it be that this old man had drunk too much?

Shi Jue?

Zhu Ji, the second son of Zhu Ji, had little hope, and he would challenge the etiquette of the entire ancient times with his own maid.

"Bian He, can you learn some imperial academic knowledge? I think it is better to be a product and an imperial family."

Chen Yichen replied lightly, "I can't afford to bear the great task of Xijue. If Bian He really had so much ambition and wanted to find a springboard, it would be better to go directly to Emperor Zhu Qizhen, which is more suitable for him."

Hearing Chen Yichen's words, Bian He laughed and replied: "It has nothing to do with imperial academics, because what I want is at least Cheng Gong can speak. If you don't inherit the title, you may not be able to help me."

At least you can help with the Duke of the State?

Chen Yichen thought about it and found that as long as the Duke Cheng was not involved in the rebellion of the regime, even if there were other evil and unforgivable serious crimes, he would have a way to help.

This Bian He is not a serious crime of treason...

The problem is that during the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, I didn’t seem to have heard of any famous rebel figures, and there was no name Bian He in history books. What exactly did he do?

"Mr. Bian, I'm afraid I can't help you."

Chen Yichen believed that he had no hope of inheriting the title, and he did not have the confidence to deal with the ten evil crimes in ancient times. It would be better to say it openly and let Bian He not have any unnecessary delusions.

The Ming Dynasty was not the ancient Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Any way of investing everywhere by strategists was not working at all.

"It's okay. Even if you don't become the third generation of Duke Cheng, maybe Xiaoyou Chen can still walk his own way."

After Bian He said this, he turned around and went to drink with others and went happily. He could not tell at all that he had planned a "big event" with Chen Yichen.

In addition to Bian He, the aides sent by Sun Tixue also brought Chen Yichen a message, that is, he wanted him to participate in the celebration banquet for the college entrance examination three days later.

There were four major banquets in the ancient imperial examination, namely "Deer Singing Banquet", "Qionglin Banquet", "Eagle Racing Banquet", and "Martial Arts Banquet", serving the two civil and military subjects preset in the imperial examination.

Among them, Lu Ming Banquet and Qionglin Banquet were liberal arts banquets. When the new imperial examination and Jinshi were born, local officials and even the emperor would invite new imperial scholars to express their congratulations by giving banquets.

However, this kind of banquet is the lowest level and only after passing the provincial examination and passing the imperial examination is qualified to be held. I have never heard of any scholars who have a celebration banquet.

Perhaps because he guessed Chen Yichen's doubts in advance, Sun Tixue's staff explained the reason.

That is Chen Yichen, a small and medium-sized three yuan. This glory has not appeared in Yingtian Mansion for more than ten years. In order to congratulate this grand occasion of the local literary style, it seems reasonable to supervise the academic and political administration to hold a celebration banquet.

At the same time, Yingtian Prefecture and the Admiral Xuezheng also decided to make an exception to build a three-yuan archway for Chen Yichen. On the one hand, it rewarded him with academic achievements, and on the other hand, it also acted as an example to inspire Yingtian scholars to work hard and learn.

However, after this watery "Sanyuanfang" was built, I wonder if Chen Yichen would blush after seeing it. After all, Yingtian Mansion is not a small place, but one of the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty, with various juren arches and Jinshi arches.

The scholar-level Sanyuanfang is really a bit shabby...

Of course, this is the kindness of the parents and the great master, Chen Yichen still has to thank him repeatedly. He also said that he will continue to work hard in the future to build a real Sanyuanfang and live up to the love of both of them.

In addition, when Bian He left, he also brought news to Chen Yichen that the Zhu clan was found for cheating tools on the spot, and was suppressed by the power of Cheng Duke from above.

Several people were only sent off the school examination and were not allowed to apply for the exam. Even the children who passed the provincial examination were not deprived of it. It is enough to see that Zhu Yong was indeed extremely powerful at this moment.

In fact, in addition to Zhu Yong's strength, Chen Yichen himself made great efforts. If the leader of the case was not investigated and cheated, and he also got the achievement of Xiao Sanyuan.

I'm afraid that if the fermentation continues, a major case of fraud in the imperial examination will occur.

However, from another perspective, from Zhu Qingyu's side, I had to do a low-key job and make a fortune, but it was not very eye-catching. This approach has become a routine among the children of Xunqi.

A Chen Yichen came to show off in various ways, and he also hit the first one after another to attract the attention of everyone. Now he brought out his own and others to expose them. He really suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck!

So many things, from different perspectives, may get completely different results.

After the banquet, the aunts and aunts next door helped clean up the mess, and the courtyard soon returned to its former peace.

However, the various gifts piled up in the house indicate that Chen Yichen's current status has undergone drastic changes. In addition, a pile of silver on the table was covered with red cloth, which seemed particularly conspicuous under the candlelight.

"Chen'er, I'm afraid there will be more than 100 taels of silver this time. What should we do to repay the gift?"

Seeing the pile of silver, Shen's first reaction was not to be happy to collect the money, but to think about how to return gifts to these high-ranking officials and nobles.

"No need to return the gift, just keep your home use."

Chen Yichen didn't care about this more than 100 taels of silver.

The ancient imperial examinations were called "the jump of social class" was not just a matter of saying. Take this pile of silver as an example, it was almost enough for a normal family of three to eat and drink for a lifetime.

If you put it in the home of ordinary people, you will face the loess and back on the sky for your whole life. I am afraid you will not be able to dig out so much money from the soil.

Of course, Chen Yichen has so many gifts and flowers, which is a special situation. There are not so many scholars who pass the exam normally.

But if you have a scholar's reputation, just by walking around the road, you can get about ten taels of silver or the same rice and grain subsidies from the official in a year, and you can also exempt corvee and three acres of land taxes.

If it really doesn't work, I will be a tutor or a staff member, help others write, be a lawyer, and Feng Shui master. The most important time I rely on the scholar's way to go into business, I can easily pay twenty taels of silver a year, but there is no possibility of starving to death anyway.

In modern TV series, scholars wear rags and can't even eat them. Unless they are exceptions and the troubled times at the end of the dynasty, they will not happen under normal circumstances.

Therefore, there is a golden house in the book and a Yan Ruyu in the book. It is not a false description, but if you honestly go to the imperial examination, you can really get these things.

Now Shen Yichen's achievements have exceeded the vision of a housewife like Shen, so her son said he didn't need to return the gift, so she didn't ask any more questions.

He just brought Chen Yichen to the ancestral spirit plane, handed him a candle and said, "I am so busy today that I have not yet congratulated my ancestors, so Chen'er quickly knelt down to worship my ancestors."

After saying that, Shen fell to his knees on the cushion and worshipped his ancestors very devoutly.

However, Chen Yichen did not kneel down immediately, because he looked at the words of the ancestor Zhu family on the spiritual throne and felt a little ridiculous.

Even my own father did not agree to join the genealogy to recognize his ancestors, so he still followed his mother's surname Chen. Where did he worship the ancestors of Zhu family? Can the ancestors find their names in the genealogy?

However, in ancient times, things like monarch, minister, father and son, and nature and morality could not change with personal will at all.

It is even exaggerated to say that if you rebel and kill the lord, as long as you have a hard fist, a large group of scholars and officials will follow you in the establishment of a new dynasty. If you openly kill your father and mother, you will be a damn person. No matter how powerful you are, everyone in the world will be despised.
