marquis of jingan

Chapter 275

Shen Yi did his best in this scientific examination.

As for whether to hit or not, Shen Yi was not even half sure.

It's not that Shen Yi has no confidence in himself, it's because the scientific examination is too difficult. There are at least 3000 candidates who came to Jiankang this year for reference. According to the most ideal admission ratio, there are only about two out of these three thousand candidates. 300 people can become tributes.

One out of ten is not enough.

But Shen Yi is not completely without opportunities.

His essays and strategies this time have all performed well, which can be regarded as his personal level. It is entirely possible to win the Gongshi, but the ranking should not be very high.

But Shen Yi doesn't need to be very tall.

He just needs to mix in among the tributes, and then go to the palace examination.

After all, the palace examination is the final decision on the ranking of Jinshi, which is the so-called first, second, and third. Shen Yi has met the emperor and is very familiar with the people in the palace. As long as he can enter the palace examination, Shen Yi may By virtue of his relationship, he can become a second-class Jinshi.

But these are later stories.

After the exam, Shen Yi returned home and fell asleep.

It wasn't until noon the next day that Shen Yi got up from the bed. After getting up and washing up, he felt sleepy all over. After eating lunch, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep again.

Sleeping until the evening, Shen Yi finally regained his energy. At this moment, the two little maids had already prepared dinner. Seeing Shen Yi walking out, they immediately greeted Shen Yi and came over to eat.

After Shen Yi took his seat, he stretched his waist and said with a smile, "I slept comfortably this time. In the past few days in the Gongyuan, I couldn't even stretch my legs while sleeping. I suffered a great crime."

Shen Ling didn't go out all day today, just looked at Shen Yi at home, and he was naturally at the dinner table at the moment, he was eating at the moment, and said with a smile: "For this crime, I don't know how many people in the world think about it. Go and eat, but you can’t even eat it.”

He swallowed the food in his mouth, and muttered: "My father came to Jiankang to take the exam five times. Although each time was hard, it was also very rewarding."

Those who can take the exam are all masters, so they are naturally enviable by others.

After saying this, Shen Laosan looked up at Shen Yi, a little curious: "Lao Qi, can you pass this subject?"

"do not know…"

Shen Yi ate a mouthful of food to fill his stomach, and then said helplessly: "To be honest, I'm not sure at all now, but now I'm also thinking about it. In fact, it doesn't matter whether I hit or not."

He smiled: "If you don't win, it's okay, we brothers will go back to Jiangdu to live together, and the third brother doesn't want the son of his sister-in-law at home?"

Shen Ling's expression was stagnant, and he sighed: "Why don't you want to? It's just that you know the character of your father, Lao Qi. After I go back, I'm afraid I won't have a good life. Besides, when I come out with Lao Qi in the next year, I want to make up my mind. do some business..."

Indeed, when Shen Yi brought Shen Ling out of Jiangdu, he painted cakes for him.

At that time, Shen Yi promised to bring him out to earn a lot of money. Now that the two brothers have been in Jiankang for a month or two, Shen Yi is busy with scientific research, so he can only put aside the matter of earning money for the time being.

So after hearing this sentence, Shen Yi smiled dumbly: "Don't worry, third brother, I will rest at home for a few days first, go visit the seniors, and then take you to do business."

In terms of doing business, Shen Yi has absolutely crushing abilities in this era.

It's not that he is smarter than other merchants, it's that he has mastered a lot of business methods.

For example, he asked a babysitter to queue up, or Shen Yi asked Xu Fu to buy couplets for free before the new year, so as to attract traffic to his store.

These most basic marketing methods are very powerful commercial killers in this simple era.

More importantly, Shen Yi now has some capital.

The most important thing in doing business is capital.

In the past, because Shen Yi had no capital, he could only bring Xu Fu and other little guys to set up food stalls to make money. Now through the unremitting efforts of those guys, Shen Yi has completed the initial accumulation of wealth.

Now he already has the capital to do some business in Jiankang.

Because of this, Shen Yi dared to boast to Shen Ling at the end of the year that he had a business worth ten thousand taels of silver in Jiankang.

"Doing business..."

Shen Ling glanced at Shen Yi, and sighed softly: "Don't touch the old seven, this thing is too dirty for you, but since you want to make money, the elder brother will do the dirty work for you Done!"

Shen Yi smiled dumbly and did not speak.

After the two brothers had dinner at home, Shen Yi got up and stretched, then yawned, and shook his head helplessly: "I just said I was full of sleep, but I was sleepy again after eating something."

The eldest servant girl Qing'er looked at Shen Yi with some worry, and said, "Young master, you must be hurting your mind too much, go to bed early and rest. When the servant girl was in her hometown, she heard from the elders that she was full of vigor and energy. It’s the most difficult thing to take care of, and if you’re a little bit mentally injured, you won’t have a month or two to recuperate.”

Shen Yi was very persuasive, got up, yawned and went back to his room to sleep.

Early the next morning, Shen Yi finally stopped sleeping in and woke up early.

He is going to Dayifang to find Mr. Gu today.

Mr. Gu has helped Shen Yi a lot no matter whether it is the provincial examination or the general examination. Now that the general examination has been completed, no matter whether Shen Yi is successful or not, he should bring something to see his old man, and take the old man out by the way to find a restaurant. It takes a good meal and a good drink.

As for Zhao Shilang...

Zhao Shilang is still a little busy at the moment, if he doesn't look for Shen Yi, will Shen Yi bother the senior servant who is about to be in charge of the household department?

Just as Shen Yi changed his clothes and was about to go out, the big maid Qing'er ran in with small steps. She came in front of Shen Yi with a nervous expression on her face.

"My son, my son..."

Shen Yi frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Outside, the door..."

Qing'er lowered her voice and said, "Someone from the palace wants to see you."

She paused, and continued: "Yes...the one who met you when I returned to Jiangdu."

After these two little maids from the palace came to Shen Yi's side, they had an extra "passive skill", which was to be able to recognize at a glance whether they were eunuchs in the palace.

The reason why Qing'er is a little scared is because she is afraid that the palace will send someone to take the two sisters back to the palace.

Shen Yi didn't hesitate too much, and walked directly towards the gate of his house. After reaching the gate, he saw an old acquaintance.

Sun Jin, the eunuch in the palace.

Shen Yi stepped forward, smiled at Sun Jin, and said, "Eunuch Sun is not in the palace, why did you come to me?"

Seeing Shen Yi, Eunuch Sun was also a little happy. Seeing Shen Yi salute to him, he also bowed, then took out a few thick envelopes from his arms, handed them in front of Shen Yi, bowed his head and said, "Mr. Shen, this is The materials that the Di Baodi gave to the young master..."

Shen Yi's face darkened...

Just after I finished the exam, the newspaper secretary came to squeeze me again!
But after thinking about it, Shen Yi originally had "thoughts" about the mansion's newspaper department, so it's not a disadvantage to be a hard worker for the mansion's newspaper department at the moment.

After receiving these "materials", Shen Yi looked at Sun Jin and said with a smile: "Didn't Eunuch Sun use to be at the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Why did you go to the Mansion Reporting Department?"

"By order, the servant girl is now transferred to the mansion's report office."

Sun Jin had a good impression of Shen Yi, and was very polite to Shen Yi.

Shen Yi blinked, and asked with a smile: "Grandpa Sun is now in charge of the mansion's newspaper department?"

Sun Jin hesitated for a moment, then slightly lowered his head and said.

"Back to Mr. Shen, the mansion office does not belong to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the servants are in the mansion office, which means they are in charge of things temporarily..."
