Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 738 Propaganda Offensive
Writing novels can also gain luck!
This is the biggest benefit he has gained from the novel "The Hussar General".

A copy of "Hussar General" has brought him a steady stream of luck, at least not worse than those wealthy people in the capital with certain strength.

Although he doesn't know how much luck will help him, he doesn't refuse to gain more luck.

In a short period of time, a copy of "Chen Shimei's Biography" quickly circulated on the market, causing a huge sensation.

First of all, it was the storytellers in the teahouse and tavern. At a certain time, they suddenly started telling the story of this new novel.

Chen Shimei in the story is naturally a poor scholar, and Qin Xianglian is a lady from a wealthy family, that is, a lady from a landlord's family in the popular sense.

At the beginning, there were many plots describing the poverty of Chen Shimei's family.

Of course, Chen Shimei is not an ordinary person. Knowing that reading and taking exams is the only way out of farming, she is really willing to work hard to improve her studies.

At least during his study period, words such as diligence and hard work are the best labels for him.

In addition, his talent is quite good, at least the teacher in the village private school who has taught him is very optimistic about his future.

During this period, Chen Shimei played a proper positive role, and the standard image of a scholar was quite prominent.

It's just a pity that the background is too poor, the family is too poor, and he doesn't even have the ability to sign up for the children's examination.

If you want to sign up for the Tongsheng Examination, you have to have the elders and the old Tongsheng as guarantees.

Fortunately, the old man said that Chen's father and Chen mother took Chen Shimei to kneel at the door of the old house, because of the face of the clan relatives, the old man would not really let go.

It's hard to find an old boy who can be guaranteed, you have to take out the money, and you have to find the right way.

When he was desperate, he happened to meet Qin Xianglian who was out for a walk.

Seeing that Chen Shimei's family was pitiful, after understanding the cause of the incident, they helped Chen Shimei through the family.

It is gold that shines everywhere!
After getting a chance to refer to, Chen Shimei passed the examination of Xiucai in one breath.

Back home, I was very proud.

It's a pity that the fame of a scholar has not improved much for poor families.

In particular, Chen Shimei's heart is not low at this time, and she still wants to go all out to participate in next year's Qiuwei and become a master of Juren.

But his family's financial situation simply couldn't afford it.

Fortunately, at this time, Chen Shimei fell into the eyes of Qin Xianglian's father. Qin's father, who had only one daughter under his knees, wanted to recruit Chen Shimei as his son-in-law to ensure the smooth inheritance of the family business.

Hearing the news, the whole Chen family was naturally overjoyed.

Of course, Chen Shimei at this time can definitely be regarded as the last positive scholar.

The previous plot, through Chen Shimei's personal experience, well revealed the difficulties of ordinary people in studying, and it is even more difficult to get promoted.

It was as if a threshold had been artificially set, excluding most of the peasant children who had attended private schools.

The following plot is the scene where Chen Shimei enters the Qin family and loves Qin Xianglian and his wife, which is quite warm and sweet.

At least at this time, Chen Shimei still has a lot of affection for Qin Xianglian.

With the financial support of the Qin family, Chen Shimei was able to take part in the imperial examination without distraction.

It's a pity that Chen's father, Chen's mother, and Qin's father passed away one after another, and Chen Shimei had to stay at home for five years.

During this period, Qin Xianglian gave birth to a son and a daughter successively.

The plot of the story at this time is quite normal, Chen Shimei and Qin Xianglian have a good relationship, and they love their children very much.

With Jia Rong's writing skills, it is natural that the early story is quite fluent and witty, with some rural anecdotes from time to time, which can be regarded as "The Road to the Imperial Examination of a Farmer".

This makes readers and listeners who are accustomed to the stories of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies feel a little novel and firmly attracted by the plot of the story.

The way of the basic imperial examinations and the unspoken rules in it make readers listen with gusto and despise the scholar class.

Damn, how afraid are you of those country mud legs turning over to set up so many thresholds and rules?

It's just a child's exam. If the family has no money, it doesn't matter. It's difficult to enter the exam room. What's the reason?
Furthermore, even if you are admitted as a scholar, it will not help your family very much.

Is there no right to tax exemption? As the saying goes, Jinshi and Yinju are poor and talented. This is the reality.

After hearing the story, many scholars always feel uncomfortable.

As for why they are uncomfortable, they themselves can't explain why.

However, the audience's discussion of the various rules of the grassroots imperial examinations is far greater than that of men and women's pig's feet.

The fair and just imperial examinations that the literati said were not so righteous.

The painting style of the following story changes suddenly. Chen Shimei, who has accumulated richer knowledge after several years of filial piety, took the money provided by his wife Qin Xianglian to participate in this year's autumn, and won the prize.

Chen Shimei, who won the Juren, is already considered a quasi-official, and her status is different from before.

Then, under the constant admiration of the same year and some people who are in power, he quickly drifted away.

I am directly attached to the government school to study and will not go back. I either linger at the romantic place all day long, or play around with a bunch of so-called friends.

However, after he became a Juren, many merchants and landlords clinged to him, and there was no shortage of money for fun and fun in his hands.

If there is a shortage, then borrow money and write to Qin Xianglian asking for money.

A rural scholar who was originally somewhat simple got lost in the hustle and bustle of the provincial capital.

In the story, there are actually a lot of tricks played by scholars, which really shocked readers and dazzled them, and they could only secretly think that they are indeed worthy of being scholars, they just know how to play!

As a result, the next year, he went to the capital to participate in the Chunwei Examination, and was named Luosunshan, and came back in despair.

Master Juren will never be short of money. For example, the so-called sayings in the scriptures that there is no money to go to Beijing to catch the exam are all lies.

Just kidding, there are quite a lot of ways for the master to get money, and some of them are described in detail in the story, which makes the audience have a kind of eye-opening rush.

At the same time, I couldn't help feeling resentful: Nima, those old landlords who have no official background are all tax evaders.

No wonder those jinshi lords and even Juren lords’ families have tens of thousands of mu of fertile land at every turn, so that’s how they came from!
At this point in the story, Chen Shimei has completely changed her mind.After seeing the prosperity of the provincial capital, how could he possibly fall in love with a poor wife from Xiaojiabiyu?

Not to mention, he is married, like a thorn in his heart, as his status rises, every thought of it makes him more irritable.

And Qin Xianglian, who was in her hometown, didn't see her husband coming home for a long time, and she already had a premonition in her heart, but she was not in a hurry to go to the provincial capital to find Chen Shimei...
