Chapter 387 Moved out of household registration, sold back to Yunju
Chen Fan smiled and said to Zhang Ci: "He really cares about this garden."

"Of course, you built a Su garden, and later built a Kuang garden. He also wanted to build a beautiful garden."

"Su Yuan's house is a bit cramped, because common people's houses are restricted; Kuang Yuan is a bit better. Chen Zhongyan's house can be built tall and spacious, and each courtyard can be very large. What about the other princes?"

Zhang Ci said: "They are also building a garden, maybe they will take the luxurious route. After all, they have always been in the palace. The prince has the East Palace and the Kuang Garden, and he has not ordered a new garden to be built."

Chen Zhongyan came back at night and said that he had taken a fancy to some satisfied masons and let them take care of things for the time being.

The garden is huge, and the requirements for underground engineering are high, and the basic work will take a month and a half.

Chen Fan asked Mo Jian and Xiang Jian to return to Yuanfeng County, sell the house, and move out their household registration.

A few days later, Chen Zhongyan went to the construction site to see the craftsmanship and creativity from the flower window, and selected a few carpenters who were more satisfied, and asked them to lead a group of people to make pillars.At the same time, he also posted a blueprint and released the model task.

The news of the palace examination came, and Chen Zhongyan jumped up: "It's great! They are really amazing!"

Chen Fan smiled and watched him bouncing around: "If you hadn't come last year, you would have won the Jinshi examination, and even entered the top three."

Chen Zhongyan shook his head: "That's right, it should be fine for me to pass the exam. Right, brother-in-law?" He looked at Zhang Ci.

"Yes, Tanhualang, a 15-year-old boy." Zhang Ci nodded with a smile.

Chen Zhongyan sighed: "It's hard for the third brother and the ninth brother, one will come out a few years later, and the other may just disappear."

Zhang Ci glanced at him: "Then you want to make Yuanshuo County more prosperous, and you have to support your older brothers and younger brothers."

"Definitely." Chen Zhongyan said firmly, "The area of ​​Yuanshuo County is several times that of Changping Township, so it must be rich."

Chen Fan laughed and said, "In my letter, I need to praise Lao San, Lao Jiu, and Chen Ya more, and send them more condolence gifts. Please mention those two more."

In late April, the official sent to announce the good news came to Yuanshuo County.The county government warmly received several officials, and gave them heavy red envelopes.

The county town was really lively, and the streets and alleys were all talking about the imperial examination.Bai Xiliu wandered around proudly, and his son Tong Junlan passed the Jinshi exam.

Someone said: "That's because his husband taught well. Mr. was a Jinshi in the early years. You didn't mention the grace of Mr.'s teaching at all."

Bai Xiliu's neck twitched: "Now my son is also a Jinshi."

The governor of Xiangzhou came to Yuanshuo County in person, and the county magistrates of several other counties also came to thank Zhang Ci and invite him to give lectures frequently.

Someone heard the news and said to Bai Xiliu: "The governor and other county magistrates have come to thank Mr. Zhang. How come you have never read a chapter well?"

Bai Xiliu twisted her neck and rolled her eyes: "When my son passed the Juren examination, how many did Yuanshuo County pass? That's because my son is smart and talented."

May is the season for harvesting wheat and rapeseed. These craftsmen do not go home to work, and many families are even busier.The adults are working in the fields, and the children are cooking, delivering food and water, picking ears of wheat, and stepping on rapeseeds.Officials and yamen servants are also very busy, running around the fields all day.

The students are all back.Zhang Ci saw Yan Weicheng and Yan Zhicheng, and said: "Your family members have already left, why do you come here for a special trip?"

Yan Weicheng said with a smile: "We made a special trip to thank the county government and the academy for their cultivation."

Zhang Ci nodded: "I have a heart."

Wen Zhengxiang said: "The senior brothers in the capital have cared for us very much. Thank you Master Chen and Master Zhang for making comprehensive arrangements for us."

Zhang Ci smiled and said: "They passed the exam a few years ago and have more experience. It will be beneficial for you to ask them for advice."

The students saluted and said yes.

Tong Junlan asked, "Isn't His Highness Six here?"

Zhang Ci said flatly: "The Sixth Highness is busy with affairs, and he has prepared gifts to reward all Jinshi."

Both the six princes and the county government rewarded Jinshi, and the government servants went to the street to post notices.Bai Xiliu was frightened in the street again.

Someone retorted: "It's great to be admitted to Jinshi at the age of 37. The two sons of the Yan family are only in their twenties. That son Wen Zhengxiang is still No. 1 in Yuanshuo County."

Bai Xiliu pursed her lips: "It's good luck for her to be taught at a young age." At this time, she admitted that Master Zhang had done a good job in teaching.

"Master Zhang is meritorious if the co-author's exam is passed, and you are all smart if you passed the exam?" Someone shouted loudly, causing a burst of laughter.

In fact, not only four of the candidates in Yuanshuo County passed the Jinshi examination, but also three of those foreign teachers also passed the Jinshi examination. Their household registrations are from other places, and the quota can only be counted as those from other prefectures and counties.

They bowed deeply: "Students, thank Yuanshuo County Government for giving us the opportunity, thank Master Chen and Master Zhang for their cultivation, and are willing to devote themselves to Yuanshuo County."

If you are admitted to Jinshi, you may not be awarded an official immediately. You must either continue to study or apply for a job yourself.These three people are willing to stay in Yuanshuo County, and the county government will make arrangements for them.

Chen Fan's exhortation to all the students is just one sentence: "Set up your heart for the world, plead for the lives of the people, inherit the knowledge of the past saints, and bring peace to all generations."

After a pause, he added: "Family is also very important."

To care for the family, but also to restrain the family.

When the foundation work was nearly completed, the models of sixteen carpenters were sent to the county government.

These models are uneven at first glance, and there are a few that are obviously strong and delicate.Qingji and Xiangjian told some stories about the carpenters, and Chen Zhongyan decided on the candidates for the foreman and steward.

Mo Jian came back and said that Yuanfeng County's household registration had been cancelled, and Xiang Jian took other people's household registration to the capital.Guiyunju was converted into a school by Wang Lizheng. The east side is for boys, and the west inner courtyard is for girls to read and embroider.The old couple returned their lives and let them stay to look after and clean the house.

Heyuan was also sold, and that area will be Wangjiadun's common property in the future.

With the money from selling the house, Mojian took out [-] guan to buy books, pens, ink, paper and inkstone for the school; [-] guan was left in the village as the children’s reading incentive fund; the rest was given to Chen Fan.

Zhang Ci nodded: "Wangjiadun has a heart and righteousness, and can make the two gardens play a role for the whole village. There have always been people in Wangjiadun who have been admitted to the examination, and there is a village spirit."

Chen Fan is also very relieved that those two bright rooms can continue to be a place for reading and writing.

Mo Jian said: "Several small houses have been set up in the capital, and the household registrations of several young masters and ladies will be settled separately."

Back in the room, Chen Fan hugged Zhang Ci tightly: "But I really don't want to part with it. That is my first house, the place where I settled down, and the ancestral home of the first generation of my Chen family. .”

As she talked, she wanted to cry, and then she really cried.

Zhang Ci didn't speak, but hugged her tightly.Over the past few years, they have moved forward step by step, and the land and houses behind them have been sold step by step.Now even the household registration has been moved out, and they have no roots at all.

Chen Fan cried for a while, then wiped away his tears: "I'm going to the other side of the mountain."

Zhang Ci patted her on the back: "After a while, the child will still be inseparable from you. You can trust the people brought by the Liu family."

Of the group of people brought by Liu Da, a small part went to the sandy land, a small part went to other places, and most of them were willing to go to the other side of the mountain without hesitation.

Chen Fan looked at Zhang Ci: "The people you found for Youyicunyidu back then were all old, weak, sick and disabled." Those were all disabled veterans.

Zhang Ci smiled: "The ones I found later were all strong ones, otherwise how could I help you farm?"
