After returning from sociology, Wei Liangchen fell into anxiety. Wu Fuzi refused to accept him into school, unwilling to vouch for him, he can only find another Xiucai to guarantor for him now, and it has to be fast, otherwise he will not be able to catch up with the government examination in three months.

The children's test is twice every three years, and if you wait until the next time, it will take more than a year. wasting more than a year in vain was really a very torturous thing for Wei Liangchen.

In addition, one of the most important reasons why Liangchen was so anxious to participate in the government examination was that the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty had certain requirements for age, or the age of the participants had a great impact on the future future.

The older he gets, the bleaker the future of the imperial examinations becomes. Let's ask, if you are in your thirties and only in your forties and fifties, then how can the imperial court focus on cultivating a person who is about to die?

Therefore, only when you are young and you are admitted to the Jinshi before the age of 30 can you have a bright future in the future. In the Ming generation, almost all of the bachelors who could enter the cabinet were famous on the gold list before the age of 30, and some were admitted to the Jinshi at the age of 17 or 8. After these young geniuses are admitted to the Jinshi, they will be given priority by the imperial court to be sent to the Hanlin Academy, and they can be used for a few years. As long as there are no major problems, usually, at the age of forty or fifty, you will definitely be able to enter the cabinet and become the decision-maker at the highest level of the empire.

Wei Liangchen is 16 years old this year, but he is still a child who has not been admitted to the Xiucai, in the south, Xiucai of the same age as him abounds, and there are a lot of people, so if Liangchen takes the road of the imperial examination, his start is actually much later. But this age is not big, it is not small, and there is still a chance, it depends on how the good minister grasps it.

If the imperial examination is regarded as a gate, and there are a number of mountains that need to be climbed behind the gate, it is obvious that the fame of Xiucai is the key to this gate, and only by opening this gate can good ministers have the opportunity to go over the mountains and mountains.

And Wei Liangchen, what is missing now is this key.

On the way home, Liangchen went through all the relatives of the Wei family in his memory, but it turned out that there was no Xiucai or relatives who could get close to Xiucai.

He is really anxious, he understands the sophistication of human feelings, as long as he can turn the corner and get hooked with Xiucai, he has the opportunity to ask the other party to guarantee him. But if he doesn't even have this bend, then even if he dares to come to the door and beg someone, they won't agree to him. After all, the qualification for the government examination is not only a necessary condition for the examination, but also involves the interests of all aspects.

Take the social science theory of Lishu Village, every time a child takes the exam, there are three to five places in the social study, but the number of children who can take the exam is definitely not more than that. In other words, who can take the exam, in addition to whether the children are excellent in their studies, Wu Fuzi, who presides over social studies, has a lot of decision. Under the premise of the same studies, whether or not he can take the exam is completely up to Wu Fuzi. Naturally, there will definitely be some personal accidents and interests involved.

Wei Liangchen can take the prefectural examination because he has already taken the county examination and has taken the prefectural examination once. Although he did not pass the test, he will not be deprived of his county test results. It's just that the prerequisite for continuing to participate in the government examination is to show off as a guarantee. Wu Fuzi no longer accepts good ministers, so he will definitely not be given a guarantee, so Wei Liangchen's quota will be given to others.

As for whether the Tongsheng family who won the quota of Liangchen gave Wu Fuzi any benefits, it was not something that Liangchen could ask. He couldn't blame Wu Fuzi, who let him not be angry, wasted two years in vain, and made his reputation so stinky. The lawsuit is to fight in the county, and no one will say that Wu Fuzi did something wrong.

Could it be that the road of the imperial examination is so broken!

I just told Wu Xiuzhi that I want to be a "fellow practitioner" with Pan Xuezhong in the future, and if I really can't study the imperial examination anymore, this will really become a laughing stock.

Liangchen has a lot of worries, and I don't know how he came back from social studies. On the way home, I met my eldest brother Liangqing who came back from chopping wood.

Liangqing saw that his younger brother came out and ran away again, so he couldn't help but say a few words to him, and then pulled Liangchen home.

Liangchen didn't dare to tell his eldest brother about him going to find Wu Fuzi, and followed Liangqing absentmindedly with his head wilted.

Halfway through, I heard the sound of gongs and drums from the west, and from a distance, a team was coming to the village. Many villagers ran to see the excitement, and there were many children jumping in front of the line.

Who does the family in the village do the happy event?

Liangchen stopped, and his curiosity made him want to see how the people of the Ming Dynasty married their wives.

Liangqing also unloaded the firewood from his shoulder, stood next to his younger brother and looked at it from afar, with an envious look.

Liangchen caught a glimpse of his eldest brother's expression, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, Liangqing is not big in the future at this age, but now he is older. If you can't marry a daughter-in-law again, I'm afraid that you are destined to be a bachelor in this life.

The sound of gongs and drums got closer and closer, and the whole village was alarmed, and adults and children gathered around. Liangchen saw that his father Wei Jinde and Aunt Zhang next door were also in the crowd, so he pulled his brother over. Without waiting for his father to talk about him, Liangchen preemptively asked: "Dad, who is holding a happy event today?" ”

"It's not anyone's family that has a happy event, it's the old man of the Zhang family who is back." It was Aunt Zhang who spoke, a warm-hearted woman who grew up watching the Liangchen brothers.

"The old man of the Zhang family?"

Liangchen touched his head, not remembering who this person was. Liangqing didn't think about it for a while, but felt that this person was quite familiar.

Seeing that the brothers didn't know, Aunt Zhang smiled and said: "It's the chicken thief who called the government to be in the yoke for a day and a night, but now he can be a husband in the palace." No, when I returned home to see his father and mother coming, it was really beautiful. ”

While speaking, the team of the old man of the Zhang family came to the front of him, and several teams of helpers took all kinds of snacks and distributed them to the villagers from time to time. There are still a few soldiers in the team, looking at the color of the clothes, they look like soldiers from the neighboring county guards, and I don't know how the old man of the Zhang family moved. There are also people in the county who accompany him, and this good minister knows that it is Wu Xiuzhi's eldest brother, Wu Dezheng, who is the head catcher in the county torture room.

The old man of the Zhang family sat in the carriage, and from time to time lifted the curtain to greet the familiar villagers, with a smile on his face, looking so embarrassed. Li Zheng and the villagers and others followed the carriage early, chatting and laughing with the old man of the Zhang family.

The Zhang family laughed so much that they couldn't close their mouths, and they had an invincible aura inside and out.

Wu Dezheng, the head of the torture room, is amazing in the eyes of the people of Lishu Village, and he is a big man who can stomp his feet in the entire Suning County on weekdays, but now such a big man is the old man of the Zhang family, and he is willing to listen to the call with a smiling face all the way. This contrast has opened the eyes of the people of Lishu Village, and even with it, the old man of the Zhang family is even higher in their minds.

Liangchen watched it for a long time, and then he realized that the old man of the Zhang family was a eunuch in the palace, and "husband" was the name of the people for the eunuchs in the palace at this time.

In other words, this is a story of a eunuch who has developed in the palace and returns to his hometown.

Liangchen could clearly see the envy of the nearby villagers for the old man of the Zhang family, and many people even stepped forward to compliment the old man of the Zhang family. He didn't think so, isn't he just a eunuch in the palace, is it worth such a sycophant?

However, when he turned his head to see his eldest brother Liangqing, he was stunned, because Liangqing at this time also looked yearning.

Liangchen was speechless, and he couldn't help but think of a famous sentence - "The husband should be like this!" ”
