"Huh? Dalang, are you really going to take the township exam? Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu's tones were full of surprise, and Jia Rong was shocked and envious.

There is no shortage of people in the Guozi Prison who want to participate in the township examination, but they are basically tribute eunuchs from all provinces and north and south, and in the past ten years, I have hardly heard of anyone else who can be promoted in the examination of the shadow prison, then again, if you really have the strength to pass the township examination to raise people, who would want to occupy such a place and reputation in the shadow prison?

"Try it, anyway, I'm still early, take advantage of two years of study to give it a try, if you wait another two years, like Second Brother Lian and Brother Rong become relatives, I'm afraid I won't have the heart to study." Feng Ziying said with a smile and turned her head, "Brother Bao, why don't you go together?" The lights of the three watches and the five watches of chickens are when the boys are studying, let's encourage them. ”

Jia Baoyu's face stiffened, he really couldn't bear this hardship, he couldn't get up in the morning, and he had to hang his head in the evening, so the four books and five classics were tasteless, where could he play with the sisters and maids?

But in front of Jia Lian and Jia Rong, he couldn't lose his ambition, so he could only stubbornly say: "Brother Feng, I definitely want to study, but you said that it is difficult to calm down when you read in prison, but if you go to study in the academy outside the city, I think our Jia family is also a hairpin family, and we can't lose face if we want to go to the academy, so I still plan to ask two favorite tutors in the house to lay a good foundation, and then go to the academy ,......."

Hearing Jia Baoyu's righteous words, Feng Ziying secretly laughed.

This guy is still a little anxious, and he is not caught in his own words, but he has to let him read the book in the Rongguo Mansion, unless the sun comes out of the west.

However, since this guy was talking loudly, he couldn't let him go down the steps easily, so he pretended to be attentive and said: "Also, Brother Bao is still a little younger, so let's make a decision, I will wait for you in Qingtan Academy in two years, how about it?" ”

"Qingtan Academy?!" As soon as the four words of Qingtan Academy came out, several people present were startled.

Although Jia Lian, Jia Rong and Jia Yun are not scholars, they have long heard of the name of Qingtan Academy.

In the territory of Shuntianfu, there are dozens of academies large and small inside and outside the Beijing Division, the four most famous academies, if you talk about the scale, momentum, and influence, Qingtan Academy is ranked third or fourth, but if you talk about strict discipline and the quality of students, there is no doubt that Qingtan Academy will be ranked first.

However, it is precisely because of its relatively strict internal requirements, especially a specific recommendation that must be made by relevant personnel, and the fact that once the discipline is violated, it will not hesitate to be removed, so many of the children of the official eunuchs and gentry in the Beijing division are daunted.

There are even many outstanding scholars who are actually very good in all aspects, and they don't like their style, so they are reluctant to go to Qingtan Academy to study.

Therefore, the scale of Qingtan Academy has always been the smallest among the major academies, and it is not even a quarter of the largest Tonghui Academy.

Just a recommendation that must be made by top scholars from all over the world or court officials and Chinese ministers Qinggui is enough to dispel many people's thoughts, and these top scholars and Wenchen Qinggui may not value it so much in other aspects, but they are extremely cautious when it comes to their own feather reputation.

"Brother Feng, why did you go to Qingtan Academy to study?" Jia Baoyu stammered a little.

On the one hand, he was full of envy, jealousy and hatred that Feng Ziying could go to Qingtan Academy, he knew that it was impossible for him to go to Qingtan Academy to study, not to mention that he couldn't stand the suffering, but it was a big difficulty to find someone to recommend, and he couldn't stand it and was removed from the list.

On the other hand, he was shocked by how Feng Ziying suddenly wanted to go to Qingtan Academy to study, could it be that this guy really wanted to go to the scientific examination? This made him even more uncomfortable.

"Yes, Da Lang (Uncle Keng), why did you go to Qingtan Academy to study?" Jia Lian and Jia Rong also felt incredible.

Jia Lian thinks that if Feng Ziying can read it, who will recommend it for such a martial arts disciple first?

In the eyes of the noble ministers of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Xun is probably the most disdainful group like the father-in-law in the palace, especially those noble families who have no real positions and only false titles.

In the eyes of the ministers, the nobles are a group of national moths, which devour a large amount of rice in the country every year, and also occupy a large number of fields, which is an important reason for the barrenness of the country's finances.

This is often the time when the nobles need to be people with their tails between their legs.

Although most of the time these bullet badges will be left in the middle of the emperor, there are always one or two emperors who do not like the eyes or dance too happily will be pushed out by the emperor and become cannon fodder.

In the years after Emperor Taishang ascended the throne, there was such a wave of operations, and as soon as the history of the official was surging, four or five nobles were beaten into the dust.

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he can still hold on, and it is estimated that there is still the reason why the emperor is still there, once the emperor is gone, I am afraid that this storm will blow again.

Thinking of this, Feng Ziying seems to be able to figure out a little taste, that is, why such nobles seem to have a huge momentum, but they are crushed by the ministers, and they may even be imprisoned at any time, because you have too many handles in the hands of others, people have the initiative, and they can launch attacks at will, you can only deal with it passively, it all depends on the emperor's mood and perception of you to decide your fate.

Jia Rong was really shocked.

Guozijian Ligong Jian is basically registered to study in his own hometown, even if he does not return to his hometown, he basically lives in the academy to study, there is nothing to say, people just have to go to the scientific examination.

As for shadow eunuchs like him and Feng Ziying, to put it mildly, there can only be two destinations.

Either you can't read the book, but at least you have to think about the calendar, at least you have to understand the operating rules of the state capital, and find a suitable place when the time comes.

Of course, don't think about it inside and outside the capital, the Beijing officials will never have the share of the shadow prison, even outside the capital, they can only do the second miscellaneous officials, but this is also a way out after all, for the eldest son who is not the eldest son in the family can not attack the lord or even the sons and daughters of the concubines, this is not a way out, of course, this road will not be very good.

The other group is that they simply can't even endure the hardships of going down to work, that is, they are purely mixed in prison, and when the time is right, they donate an official, and then they take refuge under the wings of their father and brother, and live a peaceful life.

Jia Rong always thought that Feng Ziying was the same as herself, but she just came to the country to hang out in the prison.

He also felt that Feng Ziying was pretending to be a lot of the same thing in prison, looking like he was going to practice, but it was too early to go down to the experience, and he was afraid that this kind of appearance was for his father to see, and he probably didn't want to go back to Datong with his father.

After all, where is there such a rich life in the capital in the land of the border fortress, Jia Rong estimated that when Feng Tang left, Feng Ziying was afraid that her original form would be exposed.

I never thought that Feng Ziying's Shandong party would become such a big name, not to mention, when everyone was still admiring it, he was going to study, and he was going to study at Qingtan Academy, and he was going to participate in the Shuntianfu Township Exam and take the exam, which is too incredible, right?

"Why can't I go to Qingtan Academy to study?" Feng Ziying asked rhetorically, "Isn't the academy just a place for people to study?" Qingtan Academy didn't say that it would not accept anyone, but only anyone, the key is whether you are willing to study or not. Since I want to study, Qingtan Academy is naturally willing to accept me. ”

"No, Da Lang, I mean, Qingtan Academy needs a letter of recommendation, this is a well-known thing, where did you get the letter of recommendation?" Jia Lian is most concerned about this.

As the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion, although he is not as favored by the old lady as Jia Baoyu in the second room, his father is the eldest son, he is the eldest son, and his wife is the son of the Wang family, which determines that he will definitely attack the lord, and the Rongguo Mansion will be handed over to him in the future.

Even if he still doesn't know much about the external operation of Rongguo Mansion, he still knows very well that Wuxun and civil officials can't pee in the same pot at all, and there will be no noble Wenchen in the court to recommend a Wuxun child to study in Qingtan Academy, and it is even more impossible for local scholar leaders.

If you want to go through some other paths, it's easy to say other things, but this kind of thing is to be poked in the backbone by Shilin, and no scholar would do this.

Not to mention that martial artists like the Feng family are all at a low level, even if the fourth prince brother wants to get this kind of recommendation letter, these scholars are so "hard" on some issues, it seems that through this, they can show that they and Wuxun are not in the same stream.
