Chapter 289 Give birth to a child like Shen Ziheng!
This afternoon, Mr. Gu, an old man who was over sixty years old, was normally calm and humorous, curled up on the bed and cried like a child.

Shen Yi took care of the old man in Dayifang all afternoon. After the old man fell asleep on the bed, he sighed and turned to leave.

In the final analysis, this is the tragedy of paranoia.

Today, Mr. Gu has been away from home for more than 30 years. If he has children in his hometown, the children will be in their 40s and [-]s, and their grandchildren may be very old.

He has been away from home for more than 30 years, that is to say, Lao Gu was an irresponsible scumbag in the past. Now even if he finds a family member and lacks a relationship foundation, it is difficult to return to the family.

But after all, he was indebted to his family. Shen Yi was his de facto student, so he should do something for him within his ability.

After tossing around in Dayifang all afternoon, before the sun had set, Shen Yi checked the direction, bought some gifts on the street, carried them in his hands and walked towards Zhao Shilang's mansion.

Just in time for the meal, Shen Yi rushed to the Zhao Mansion, and the Zhao family was about to start dinner. After hearing the news of Shen Yi's visit from the servants, Zhao Shilang, who had just arrived in the dining room, sat in his seat and spoke Said: "Wait a minute, wait for Ziheng to come and eat together."

Zhao Er made friends with Shen Yi, stood up and said with a smile, "Father, I'll go out to meet you."

"Ah."

Zhao Shilang nodded and said: "Go."

He sees his youngest son these years, or his two sons are not very pleasing to the eye, and he often teaches the two sons, but for the youngest son's befriending Shen Yi, he not only does not object, but supports it.

Soon, Shen Yi was led by Zhao Er to the dining room of Zhao's family. After putting down the gift in his hand, he bowed his hands to the few people seated in the hall: "I have seen uncle, aunt, brother..."

Zhao Shilang looked up at Shen Yi, with a smile on his face: "It's a coincidence, let's sit down and eat."

Mrs. Zhao also smiled very kindly, and beckoned Shen Yi to sit down and eat.

However, Zhao Yanzhou, the boss of the Zhao family, was introverted and even a little autistic. He just nodded slightly to Shen Yi and didn't speak.

Shen Yi can understand this kind of character very well.

Generally, if there are strong parents in the family, they are likely to raise such an introverted son. Zhao Shilang has an extremely strong personality, and Mrs. Zhao is also from a famous family. After the husband and wife gave birth to this eldest son, they placed high hopes on him , raised and raised, and raised this eldest son with mild autism.

As for the second child, Zhao Jizhou, he didn't have that much pressure. In addition, he has a naturally cheerful personality, so he will become a fool when he comes and goes.

Shen Yi bowed to the Zhao family one by one, then sat down at the dinner table and had a meal.

No one spoke at the dinner table.

Because Zhao Shilang was extremely strict in running his family, he was particular about eating and sleeping without talking, even Zhao Er and Zhao Jizhou ate with their heads down and did not dare to say a word.

Soon, after this dull family feast, Zhao Shilang was the first to get up. After he got up, he looked at Shen Yi, with a rare smile on his face: "After Ziheng finishes eating, come to the study to see me."

Shen Yi quickly stood up and said yes.

Zhao Shilang waved his hand slightly, signaling that he didn't have to stand up: "You eat yours."

Compared with the different personalities of the two brothers of the Zhao family, Shen Yi's temper was quite satisfactory. He finished his meal in a leisurely manner, saluted Mrs. Zhao, greeted the Zhao brothers, and then walked towards Zhao Changping's house. I went to the study.

In the study room, Zhao Shilang had already moved a chair for Shen Yi. Seeing Shen Yi walk in, he pointed to the chair and said, "Sit and talk."

Shen Yi nodded obediently, and sat opposite Zhao Shilang.

Zhao Changping held a piece of white paper with densely written names in his hand, then looked at Shen Yi, and smiled faintly: "Today, someone copied a list of Chun Wei, and I looked it over, Ziheng is more than 130? "

Shen Yi lowered his head and said, "130 five."

Ranked 130th in the country, this result is enough to be proud of in Jiankang or Jiangdu, but not in front of Zhao Changping.

Because this Zhao Shilang was the "second place" in the exam that year, that is, No. 2 in the country, the ultimate college bully.

"You did well in the exam."

Zhao Shilang put down the list in his hand, and said softly: "At your age, it is very rare to be able to pass the Gongshi exam, but it's a pity that this rank is not high. It's best to move up and get a second-class exam in the palace exam. .”

If it was the case in previous years, the three big bosses of the first class would naturally enter the Imperial Academy, and the first few of the second class would be able to get in if they were lucky, and some of the remaining members of the second class would be able to study in various yamen in the capital. The most people are assigned to places to fill vacancies.

As for when the vacancy can be filled, it depends on the individual's "ability" and good fortune.

For example, someone with a background like Shen Yi doesn't have to worry about filling in the vacancies.

However, first-class, second-class and third-class, although the titles are different, there is not much difference in career starting point. There are also some people who are first-class Jinshi and the first rank are unknown in the officialdom.

However, Shen Yi wanted to stay in Jiankang instead of being assigned to be an official in a local area. It would be better if he had a second-tier background, so that Zhao Changping could give him the status of a Beijing official in the future.

Hearing Zhao Shilang's words, Shen Yi smiled helplessly and said: "Uncle Master, it's not that the students don't want to be in the second grade, it's really up to others, the students can only do their best."

"Just try your best."

Zhao Changping, who was always serious and rigid, showed a rare smile at this moment, and said, "Ziheng passed the county examination all the way from the county examination at a young age, and now he will be awarded the title of Jinshi. It is really remarkable."

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Being a child should be like Shen Ziheng!"

Zhao Shilang's words were sincere, not because Shen Yi was so good, but because his two sons were not very competitive.

If the two sons of the Zhao family can win Jinshi, even if they are only top three Jinshi, with Zhao Shilang's shadow, they can go smoothly in the officialdom.

"It's all teachers who take care of you, otherwise the students would never be where they are today."

Zhao Shilang smiled and said, "Have you written a letter to Jizhong to announce the good news?"

"It has been written."

Shen Yi bowed his head and said: "The ones sent out at noon are estimated to be sent to Jiangdu tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Jizhong must be very happy to know."

Zhao Shilang looked at Shen Yi with admiration: "How old is Ziheng this year?"

"I'm seventeen years old."

"That's sixteen years old."

Zhao Shilang said with a smile: "A 16-year-old Jinshi, word spread that our Ganquan Academy is going to be famous all over the world again. It may be even more sensational than the last time the Ganquan Seven Sons."

He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said to Shen Yi: "Since the opening of our academy, Zi Hengyi should be the youngest Jinshi."

Shen Yi thought for a while, and said: "My younger brother is also studying in the academy, and my younger brother's reading talent is much better than mine. If he wins the next subject, he may be younger than the students."

Hearing this, Zhao Shilang was even more envious.

He sighed: "If this is the case, the Shen family in Jiangdu will soon prosper."

After all, Zhao Shilang is a big man in the imperial court, and his heart is very calm. He quickly calmed down from his envious mood, looked at Shen Yi, and asked: "Last time, Zi Heng told me that if he wants to enter the mid-term exam of this subject Di Baosi is doing things, and now..."

Zhao Shilang asked slowly.

"Is Ziheng still thinking about it now?"
