marquis of jingan

Chapter 101
Shen Sanlang and Shen Ling have always been very concerned about Shen Yi's scientific research.

It's not entirely because of brotherhood, but more because of family interests.

Because the trend of the Shen family is very bad.

The previous generation of the Shen family, that is, Shen Yi's father's generation, had four brothers in total. Among the four brothers, the eldest, Shen Hui, barely won the Juren after decades of scientific examinations. After spending a lot of money, he became a county magistrate. After working hard in the officialdom for many years, he only got the county magistrate a few years ago.

However, because Juren's status is inherently insufficient, and Shen Hui is also getting old, the official position of the county magistrate will come to an end.

The Shen family was also a big family in Jiangdu in the early years. There were two or three Jinshi in the ancestors, but in Shen Hui's generation, it has declined a bit.

In this era, most of the family's property will be distributed to the eldest son. Shen Yi's uncle Shen Hui has inherited almost all the properties of the Shen family's ancestors. For the rest of my life, I can guard my family's land without worrying about food and clothing.

However, Shen Hui is an official fan. In the early years, in order to fill the official position, he spent money everywhere to ask people to make connections, and wanted to fill the vacancy of the county magistrate. Because he was too "official fan", Shen Hui took many detours and was also rejected. Many people cheated, and in the end they only made up a county magistrate, but they had already spent a lot of the Shen family's property.

This transaction is obviously inappropriate.

Because Shen Hui is only a county magistrate so far, and a county magistrate of a small county, unless he searches desperately, it will be difficult to get the money back.

However, in fact, the kind of plundering in movies and TV dramas is very difficult to exist in reality, unless your relationship in the court is extremely hard, and you are not afraid of being accused by others, so you can be so corrupt.

But people who really have a lot of connections in the imperial court don't bother to change money in a county.

And judging from the "cost" that Shen Hui has invested so far, he must have lost money in making a living as a county magistrate.

In the first generation of the Shen family, Shen Yi's second uncle fell ill and passed away early. The old man had a daughter and two sons. After the death, the two sons went to live with the married elder sister, and they were not in Jiangdu for many years.

Sanbo went to Beiqi to do business in the early years, and then it seemed that his business became bigger, so he came back and quietly took the whole family to Beiqi, and he did not come back for more than ten years.

Because of this incident, the boss, Shen Hui, was furious, saying that the third child was a rebel who had forgotten his ancestors, and even wanted to erase the third child from the genealogy, but this matter was not able to be done in the end, after all, the brothers did not make up their minds.

For more than ten years, when Shen Hui mentioned his brothers to the outside world, he claimed that the second and third children had died of illness.

Leaving aside the family of the second and third children, the eldest, Shen Hui, has two sons. The third, Shen Ling, stays behind in Jiangdu.

However, Shen Hui's two sons, Shen Si and Shen Ling, have no talent for reading. Shen Ling has passed the scientific examination several times, but he has never passed the child's entrance examination. Now he has simply given up the scientific examination.

Looking at the second generation of the Shen family, there are currently only two brothers, Shen Yi and Shen Heng, who are expected to pass the scientific examination to complete the class transition, and the others basically have no potential.

That is to say, if the Shen Yi brothers fail to take the road of scientific research, according to the logic of this era, the Shen family will fall in the family fortune of Shen Ling's generation.

When it comes to the next generation, the Shen family may not even be considered a poor family, and will be kicked out of the "gentry" class.

Regarding this situation, Shen Ling was naturally anxious, but he really didn't have much interest in studying. Later, Shen Yi showed some talent for reading, so he put all his family's hopes on Shen Yi.

After all, if Shen Yi's scientific examination goes well, not to mention being a Jinshi, even if he is a Zhongjuren, the Shen family can maintain the status of a noble family and will not decline quickly.

After hearing Shen Ling's call to the door, Shen Yi lazily got up from the bed and dressed slowly.

Today is the day of the government trial, but for Shen Yi, it is not that important. After all, he has learned the result of the government test about ten days in advance.

As for the government examination, as long as it is not the top of the case, the other rankings are not so important, after all, they are only the qualifications for the hospital examination.

As for the case...

Shen Yi knows that with his current knowledge, it is not difficult to take the Zhongfu Examination, but it is too difficult to win the first case.

If I had known earlier, Jiangdu is a rich and prosperous place, and it is also an important city in Gyeonggi. It can be seen from the fact that Ganquan Academy was able to produce seven Jinshi in one session, Jiangdu's scientific examination is very "volume".

Generally, it is not a problem for those who can win the first case in Jiangdu Prefecture, and most of them can win Jinshi.

Shen Yi's current knowledge is still not at this level, and if he really wins the case, then there is no need to wait until today, Master Lu will tell him clearly that day.

After waking up, Shen Yi cleaned his teeth with salt, then spat out the coarse salt in his mouth, and washed his face well with clean water.

"When we get to Jiankang, we have to find a few craftsmen to get the toothbrush out. It doesn't matter whether we earn money or not..."

Thinking of toothbrush, Shen Yi rolled his eyes and thought of toothpaste.

But the toothbrush is easy to make. He really doesn't know what the ingredients of toothpaste are. Even if he tries bit by bit, it will be difficult to figure out in a few years.

He shook his head slightly, wiped the water droplets on his face with a towel, and strode towards his courtyard door. After opening the courtyard door, he grinned at Shen Ling who was standing outside: "Third brother, it's so early?"

Shen Ling glared at Shen Yi, and said angrily: "Why are you bolting the door when you have nothing to do? I knocked on the door for a long time and no one answered."

"Don't lock the door for fear of being stolen."

Shen Yi smiled and said, "I live here alone, so I'm not at ease."

Shen Ling didn't step into Shen Yi's house, but pulled Shen Yi's sleeve, and said: "Okay, I don't want to tell you more, the mansion is investigating the case, go with me to the gate of the mansion to watch the case."

Shen Yi smiled and nodded, and asked, "Did the third brother buy a group case today?"

"too expensive!"

Shen Ling snorted: "This year's government trial group case requires seventy or eighty renminbi, which is enough to buy a bag of grain. Those people in the yamen are really black-hearted."

"After I bought the case of the county trial group last time, I was told by my sister-in-law that now all the money is with her, and I don't want to use it. I have nothing to do."

Shen Yi smiled dumbly.

The last time Shen Ling spent money to buy a group case, it was indeed a little irrational.

After all, it wasn't him, Shen Sanlang, who took the exam, and it wasn't their elder brother who took the exam. Of course, his wife would complain about spending dozens of pennies so boldly.

In this way, the two brothers arrived at the entrance of the Fuya not long after, one after the other. It has been a while since the incident happened, but the entrance of the Fuya is still crowded, and some people were stolen in the crowd Money, yelling angrily.

Shen Ling pulled Shen Yi together, the two brothers went through untold hardships, and finally squeezed into a position where they could barely see the group case. Shen Ling stood in front, looked back at Shen Yi with some difficulty, and asked: "Old Seven, What's your seat number?"

Shen Yi was behind him, unable to read the group case, and immediately replied: "Moon character NO. 11."

Shen Sanlang looked up, and on the group case, the first case was the No. [-] Dizi.

And the second...

It is No. 11 of Yuezi!
