The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 308 He Jisheng

By the time the Luming Banquet was over, it was already Shen Shichu.Gu Chengyu didn't drink because of his young age.It's just that Sun Xian is old and has been fed a lot.

Ye Zhiqiu is at an embarrassing age, and he will be able to marry a wife in a year. He also drank a little wine, but he was a little drunk.

Looking at the two of them, Gu Chengyu felt a headache.One was a little drunk, the other reeked of alcohol and insisted that he was not drunk.

"Drink! I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow. I'm the master Juren. Let me see who dares to look down on me!" A drunk Juren howled ghostly in Gu Chengyu's ear.

The officials had long since left, as had the others, and the rest were drunk.

Gu Chengyu had no choice but to greet Sun Xian who was a little dizzy from drinking, put Ye Zhiqiu on the shelf, and everyone walked to the inn together.

The next day, Ye Zhiqiu didn't wake up until it was three o'clock in the morning. Gu Chengyu left Ming Yan to take care of him, while he himself took Ming Mo to the residence of the second and third senior brothers to pay their respects.

"Junior brother did well in the exam this time! The teacher must be very happy to know." It was He Jisheng who said this.

He Jisheng is a refined middle-aged man, younger than the elder brother, he looks friendly, and he also smiles when he looks at Gu Chengyu.

Although He Jisheng doesn't have the same serious face as Yin Kun, he looks easy to get along with.However, Gu Chengyu felt that Yin Kun and him could get along better, maybe this is the fate between people!
From Gu Chengyu's point of view, although Yin Kun was strict with him, he could tell that he really cared about him.

These thoughts were only for a moment, Gu Chengyu replied shyly: "Brother, stop praising me, it's just a fluke!"

"We are brothers, why are you being so modest? Let's stay for dinner today, let's talk about it now!"

The two only met three times in total. He Jisheng seemed to be shying away from Gu Chengyu, and nothing about government affairs was involved in his conversation.Most of them are asking Mr. Hou, or talking about some family affairs, or asking about some academic matters, just ask if there is anything you don’t understand.

Gu Chengyu naturally agreed, and humbly asked a few questions.

"I'm ashamed to say that I have been preparing for Qiu Wei for the past two years. I have little knowledge of chess skills. Now I have only spent some time on calligraphy and painting. I have only learned a little bit about chess skills. How can I play chess with my senior brother?" ? Besides, I have to go to the second senior brother's house to pay a visit later, and I am afraid that the time will be delayed, so please forgive me!"

Liang Zhirui is considered an expert in chess, and he had Gu Chengyu learn from him before, but Gu Chengyu's focus was on Qiu Wei, so he didn't spend much time on it.

However, Liang Zhirui also praised Gu Chengyu, saying that if he spends more time on chess, he can become a master within a few years.

In fact, Gu Chengyu was being modest when he said that.Although not proficient, but it is not enough to only understand the superficial.

However, he heard from his teacher that He Jisheng is very talented in chess.

So he doesn't want to seek abuse, and besides, playing chess can easily reveal the shortcomings of your character. In the eyes of these thoughtful chess masters, you can roughly get a sense of your character by playing a few games.

Of course, Gu Chengyu is not afraid, but he will go to the second senior brother's house to pay a visit later.If he didn't go today, he would have to stay for another day tomorrow. Sun Xian might be returning home right now.

"Why are you in such a hurry? But the return date has already been set?" He Jisheng wanted to take the chessboard, and then returned to sit down.

"We are going to leave tomorrow, and the boat has already been booked. The brother who is with me is going to marry my family, and he will also come to the capital to go to school in the future. The time is short, so we need to hurry up."

Now that Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu have won the exam, it is certain that they will come to the capital to study in the future.There are also many academies, large and small, in the capital. When the time comes, choose a better one and just get in.

"That's really a happy event. Congratulations for my brother! When will you come to the capital after you go back? Do you have any plans to go to any academy?"

Gu Chengyu was a little surprised when he heard the words, didn't the teacher and senior elder brother mention to him that he was going to study in the Imperial College?
He pondered for a moment, anyway, he would know later, and there was nothing bad to say.

"After more than a month, I will leave for Beijing and plan to enter the Imperial College."

"Guozijian?" He Jisheng was so surprised that his voice suddenly rose a lot, but he didn't notice it.

When Gu Chengyu saw it, he felt even more weird.It suddenly occurred to him that the teacher had mentioned before that He Jisheng and the elder brother had not entered the Imperial College to study.

The requirements for entering the Guozijian are strict, and there will be quotas for the children of the aristocratic family. This is the Yinjian;However, the donated prison is not qualified to take the exam to be an official.The rest can only be admitted by the recommendation of officials, or those with excellent grades, and it happens that Gu Chengyu has both.

After Gu Chengyu figured this out, he wanted to change the subject.

Who knew that He Jisheng was not going to let it go, "But it was recommended by the teacher?"

His expression is very subtle. Gu Chengyu has observed that before, his face froze, and then he quickly returned to normal. I'm afraid he has something to say about the teacher, right?
Before Gu Chengyu could answer, he asked himself and answered, "Yes, you are all Jie Yuan, and of course you have the qualifications to enter the Imperial College."

Seeing that he was a little dazed, Gu Chengyu took the opportunity to say goodbye.

He Jisheng came back to his senses, and he didn't hold back, he just said he packed some things and asked Gu Chengyu to bring them to the teacher when he went back.

Gu Chengyu walked out of the gate of He Mansion, recalling the expression on the teacher's face when he mentioned several seniors to him.

The elder brother said that He Jisheng was the most respected by the teacher among the several senior brothers.Because he is alert and hard-working, it was only later that the teacher thought he was too tactful and felt that he was eager to make progress, so he gradually became cold towards him.

However, it is undeniable that He Jisheng is the smartest among the three of them.

Gu Chengyu got into the carriage and went to Wu Mansion.

The head wife of the Wu Mansion went to the temple to pray for blessings two days ago, and she just came back this morning.Of course, Gu Chengyu had to wait until he came back before he could visit her!
Besides, He Jisheng came to court earlier, so he went to He Mansion first.

Wu An has one son and two daughters, and the son is studying in an academy in the capital.There should be only female relatives at home at this moment, and Gu Chengyu went there just for a formality, to ask the old lady and the mistress.

Second senior brother Wu An's grandfather was a general, but his official position was not high.Finally, among so many grandchildren, a literati was born, and Wu An was also the grandson of the eldest son, so the old man was happy.

The Dayan Dynasty emphasized literature over military affairs, and a scholar came out of the military commander's family, especially if this scholar also passed the Jinshi examination and became an official, the Wu family couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Before the old grandpa passed away, he bought a house for the Wu family in the north. It was a second-entry house, but it was still smaller than Yin's house.However, it is still much larger than ordinary binaries.

The carriage soon arrived at the Wu Mansion, Ming Mo parked the carriage he had just bought, and knocked on the door.

The concierge knew Gu Chengyu, he had been here once before, and immediately went in to report.

Gu Chengyu entered the corner gate in a carriage, and after getting off the carriage, he followed his mother-in-law to the inner courtyard.

　Fei Liu has been very busy recently, his mother has just been discharged from the hospital due to illness, and there are a lot of chores at home.I haven't been able to save the manuscript a few days ago, and it's not easy to update twice a day. I'm trying to code and save the manuscript these days. I hope everyone will forgive me!
