Chapter 247 New Year and New Generation!
On the first day of the new year, Shen Yi took Shen Heng to the academy to celebrate the New Year with the gentlemen.

After the second day of the new year, led by his father Shen Zhang and uncle Shen Hui, he paid New Year's greetings to the relatives of the Shen family.

But he is now Master Shen, and he only needs to give his seniority a special high. For example, people of the third uncle's generation go to pay New Year's greetings, and those who are of his peers or even a generation higher than him have to come to pay New Year's greetings to him, the master of Juren. .

In fact, New Year's greetings are nothing, the main reason is that after Shen Yi won the Juren, some relatives of the Shen family would pester him and ask him to teach their children to study. There are a few relatives whose children are only young, and they look like seven or eight years old. , the parents pulled them in front of Shen Yi, insisting that they kowtow to Shen Yi as a teacher, Shen Yi could only wave his hands repeatedly to refuse, and then slipped away as soon as possible.

But no matter what, this new year is still very meaningful.

After all, Shen Yi knew many elders and brothers of the same clan, and even some clansmen who were about the same age as Shen Yi, but a generation shorter than Shen Yi.

There are not many Shen family members, but there are about a hundred of them.

In the foreseeable future, these Shen family members will probably surround Shen Yi tightly, for him to drive and become a part of his power.

The reason is very simple, because Shen Yi is the second candidate of the Shen family.

Another candidate, Shen Hui, is already old, and Shen Hui has basically decided that he will not continue to be an official after the new year, and will stay in Jiangdu for the elderly in the future. That is to say, Shen Hui has lost his promotion. Space, lost any potential in the chapel.

It's cruel to say that, but it's true.

Shen Hui has no future, and the two sons of the eldest son of the Shen family are not good at reading. That is to say, after Shen Hui, if that family wants to become a scholar, it will have to wait until the third generation of the Shen family.

The two elder brothers of the second room have basically lost the ability to take exams after working outside with their sister and brother-in-law these years.

Sanbo is not in Jiangdu, let alone needless to say.

Besides Shen Yi, the only potential scholar in the Shen family is Shen Yi's brother Shen Heng.

The two brothers grew up dependent on each other, and Shen Heng can be said to be Shen Yi's most solid follower, so naturally he would not come out to compete with him for the position of head of the Shen family.

If there is no accident, as Shen Hui ages slowly in the future, Shen Yi's voice in the clan will become more and more powerful. Become the new speaker of the Shen family, and become the "patriarch" of the Shen family in Jiangdu.

The reason for the formation of this kind of clan society is due to the environment of the times. In the case of limited productivity, two villages may be beaten to death because of the ownership of a water source.

At this time, the imperial power does not go to the countryside.

Villages are dealt with by local figures such as village sages, security chiefs, village chiefs, or the so-called "three elders". Maybe they all died in vain!

Therefore, in this era without a baptism of epoch-making, it is difficult for an individual or a single family to survive in this era, so everyone must stick together!

With whom?Of course it's a group with people with the same surname!
This kind of clan society formed due to competition for resources will develop from villages to towns, from towns to prefectures, provincial capitals, even the capital, and even the imperial court.

Therefore, the clan society is so deeply ingrained that even Shen Yi has no way to break it for the time being. If he does not deal with the clansman now, or even breaks up with the clansman, and it is said that his reputation is bad and he cannot be an official, he may be killed by someone someday. A person with the same surname was stabbed to death, and there is no place to justify it!
Fortunately, Shen Yi is not a victim of this system now.

With the fame of raising people, he became the "strong man" in the clan, and he would gradually gain influence in the clan. When Shen Yi took over the Shen family in the future, he would not only be able to control the resources of the entire Shen family, but even have a The "surname Shen" forces who are naturally loyal to themselves and are unswerving to themselves.

This is also good for him in the court in the future.

However, for Shen Yi now, becoming the head of the Shen family seems too far away. The more important thing for him now is to pass the Jinshi examination and enter the imperial court. .

After all, the Shen family is too small, and the clan power can only be regarded as an aid to him, and cannot be used as his total reliance.

After going out with his father for six or seven days, Shen Yi was finally tired. On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, he lay motionless on the bed, unwilling to go out with his father any more.

Seeing that Shen Yi didn't go out, Shen Zhang didn't have the interest to go out, so he simply stayed at home.

At noon, Pinger and Pinger's two little maids prepared the dishes, and the family sat down to eat together. After Shen Yi lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of food, he glanced at his father and asked, "Father, what time are you waiting?" Do you still go to the Jin Palace?"

Shen Zhang stopped chopsticks. He first looked at Shen Yi, then at Shen Heng, and finally set his sights on Shen Yi.

"Do you want Dad to go?"

Shen Yi lowered his head, took a bite of his meal, and said with a smile: "My son naturally hopes that you can rest here for a while, and it is best to live in Jiangdu for a year or two. First, you have a good rest. Second, my brother will take the county exam this year. Try it, I'm not in Jiangdu, so you can stay with him."

Shen Zhang Chopsticks listened again, he silently glanced at his son, and asked, "Didn't you think your father was embarrassing you in Prince Jin's Mansion?"

Shen Yi shook his head and sighed: "If you think so, then you will leave for Jiankang with me tomorrow."

Shen Zhang was stunned: "Are you leaving tomorrow?"

He frowned and said, "The Spring Festival is usually held in February or March, and there is at least one more month left. Jiangdu is so close to the capital, what are you in such a hurry for?"

"My son has something to do. I need to go to Jiankang to take a look."

After the Shangyuan Festival and the imperial court's annual leave is over, the Dibao Department will issue a new Dibao.

If the article written by Shen Yi is used in the content of this issue of Mansion News, it will become very explosive. Shen Yi needs to go to Jiankang to see what will happen...

The other is.

During his return to Jiangdu, there was no one to guide him in his writing, Master Lu, the only one who could give him advice, was busy with his affairs, and Shen Yi was too embarrassed to bother his teacher.

That's why he wanted to go back to Jiankang as soon as possible, go to Jiankang Dayifang to find "Teacher Gu", and then strengthen his training.

Shen Zhang stopped talking, he bowed his head in silence for a while, then turned to look at Shen Heng, and asked, "Heng'er, what do you think?"

"I listen to my brother."

Shen Heng also smiled at his father and said: "Father, if our family is not short of money, you really don't need to go to Jiankang to do things anymore. After all, you have worked so hard for so many years, it's time to take a break."

Shen Yi hit the iron while the iron was hot, and said with a smile: "The eldest son of Prince Jin's mansion, the son has known him, so let's go to Jiankang, I will go to him and ask him to save a good place for you. One day in the future, you will stay in Jiangdu." If you're bored, it's not too late to go to Prince Jin's Mansion."

Both sons said so, and Shen Zhang had no choice. He looked at Shen Heng and sighed: "Heng'er is too young, and he really needs someone to follow him if he wants to take the scientific examination. Well, this year, as a father, I will be alone." Let’s not go to Jiankang for now.”

As he said that, he reached out and patted Shen Yi's shoulder heavily, with a somewhat complicated tone: "Boy, Chun Wei takes the exam well and wins glory for our Shen family and our little family!"

Shen Yi responded with a smile.

"Father, don't worry, there is still my younger brother who failed the exam. My younger brother's reading talent is much higher than mine."

He looked at Shen Heng, who was innocent and innocent, and said with a smile: "Your young son is the seed of serious study. Mr. Qin in the academy says he is a genius..."
