Film and television started from Yan Jiecheng in the Siheyuan

After seeing off the Yuans and his wife, Hualan's future elder brother and sister-in-law, Sheng Changbai was at leisure.

Sheng Changbai went to Sheng Hong who was fishing at home again: "Father, my son wants to practice riding and archery, so please ask my father to hire a martial arts instructor for me."

"Practice riding and archery, study hard, and strive to be admitted to Jinshi as soon as possible. You must not waste your time."

Sheng Hong had a very clear plan for Sheng Changbai's life, which is to study hard and get a Jinshi in the imperial examination.

The status of Lao Sheng's family is far from being qualified to enshrine their children.

When cultivating children, regardless of the children's many interests and hobbies, everything must take the imperial examination as the first goal.

The children of the Sheng family will study whatever is tested in the imperial examination.

Of course, Sheng Changbai still has a lot of advantages as the son of an official who passed the sentence.

The imperial examinations in the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have as many procedures as in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

All you need to do is to pass three tests. To put it simply, it is the state test, the provincial test, and the palace test.

If you pass the state examination, you become a Juren and are eligible to take the provincial examination.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no literati class called scholar. A scholar could be called a scholar. The lowest level of fame for a literati was juren.

The provincial examination can be said to be the meeting of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is held in Bianliang, Tokyo, and is the most important hurdle of the imperial examination.

After passing the exam, you can say that you are a Jinshi.

It can be said that the palace examination is no different from that in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Basically, it will not be dismissed, but it will only serve as a ranking function.

The advantage of Sheng Changbai, the son of the general judge, is that he can take the special state examination for the children of officials in the place where his father works, called the "Bietou Exam".

It does not account for the quota of local scholars, and the admission rate is quite high.

Therefore, it is not difficult for the descendants of officials above the level of magistrates and general judges in the Zhou Dynasty to obtain the qualifications for juzi as long as they have studied seriously.

"Father, a gentleman has six skills, one is ritual, the other is music, the third is archery, the fourth is control, the fifth is calligraphy, and the sixth is numeracy."

Sheng Changbai cupped his hands and said, using the words of Confucius, he began to persuade his own father.

Sheng Changbai has this kind of temperament, and his temperament is upright. In the entire Sheng family, except for Mrs. Sheng, there is no one Sheng Changbai dare not teach.

Opening his mouth, Sheng Hong couldn't even refute the quotations of the sages and the scriptures.

"Bai'er, did you develop the desire to practice martial arts and improve yourself because of the incident you were attacked before?" Sheng Hong asked after pondering for a while.

"Father, it is better to serve yourself than to serve others, and it is better to serve others than to serve yourself."

The incident of being attacked was indeed an excuse that Sheng Changbai thought of to practice martial arts aboveboard.

If it was still the same as before, just practicing boxing and kicking, Sheng Changbai certainly didn't need to report to Sheng Hong.

But Sheng Changbai was going to practice spear, sword, riding and shooting, and he needed Sheng Hong to prepare weapons and venues, so he had to notify Sheng Hong.

The law and order in the feudal society was not good, and Sheng Changbai still lacked a sense of security. First of all, his own force still needed to be fully utilized.

"Hey Boer, for a family like ours, a family of poets and books, as long as they can be named on the gold list and win the toad palace, they will be safe and have their own soldiers and guards."

"Father, the child will not be left behind in his homework. Practicing riding and archery does not conflict with reading and writing. The child has made up his mind to practice riding and archery. He will continue to practice no matter what." Sheng Changbai looked at Sheng Changhong firmly. Said.

"Forget it, practice as much as you want, but my father will test your homework at any time. If you don't keep up with your homework, you should stop thinking about practicing martial arts."

Among the feudal patriarchs, Sheng Hong can be regarded as a relatively enlightened group.

There is no forced father to guide the son, and the son must listen to the father in all matters, and there is still a little room for negotiation.

Two days later, Sheng Hong found an archery master for Sheng Changbai, which was also the one that Sheng Changbai needed to be taught the most.

With the foundation of Xingyiquan, Sheng Changbai practiced marksmanship, and swordsmanship is not difficult.

Xingyiquan is a form of taking off the spear and turning it into a fist, which evolved from the technique of the spear.

He has his own way of fighting with guns, sticks, knives, and swords. It's just that Sheng Changbai has been living in the modern age before, and there is no need to practice equipment. Everything is a bit rusty, but it is not difficult to pick it up.

Sheng Hong also ordered the servants to clean up an empty yard and use it as a martial arts arena for Sheng Changbai.

Sheng Hong is in Yangzhou and Zhizhou, and they are also known as the two giants in Yangzhou. The Sheng family has a lot of money, and the yard of the Sheng family is naturally one of the largest houses in Yangzhou.

Five-entry mansions, pavilions, rockeries and lakes, there are two gardens alone, more than a dozen side courtyards and cross courtyards.

Some are empty yards, let Sheng Changbai toss about.

The main task of the day is still going to school in private schools, studying classics in the morning, policy theory and writing in the afternoon.

During this period of time, only Sheng Changbai himself was in class in the Sheng family, and Sheng Changfeng was boarded symbolically, and just had an excuse not to go to school.

The time when Sheng Changbai can practice martial arts is in the morning and after school in the afternoon.

The daily schedule is quite full, I don't go out much, but I am also very busy.

There is no free time, and there is no need for any entertainment activities for the time being. Goulan Chu Pavilion, brothel and tile house, and Sheng Changbai have not been to see them yet.

Sheng Hong did not allow it, and Sheng Changbai was not interested in these things for the time being.

A week later, Sheng Changbai finally found the little loli, Sheng Minglan, running around in the front yard.

The little girl looked very happy, and she was running and playing in the courtyard with her little follower, Xiao Tao.

Sheng Minglan is only six years old, Xiaotao is half a head shorter than Minglan, and looks only four or five years old.

Such a big child, of course, doesn't know how to serve others.

Apart from Xiaotao, there is no other maid this big in the Sheng Mansion.

Under normal circumstances, when big families recruit servants, they always recruit people who are over ten years old and know something.

Sheng Changbai didn't know who arranged for Minglan, Wang Ruofu probably wouldn't be able to play this move, it was probably Lingo Shuang and Lin Xiaoniang.

Mrs. Sheng Changbai seemed to be Sheng Hong's official wife.

The lady in charge of the house can manage everything in the back house, but she doesn't actually have the right to be a housekeeper.

She was played by Lin Xishuang and took away the right of housekeeper in the past.

A concubine controls the personnel and financial power of the back house.

At home, of course, he can compete with Wang Ruofu on the same level as Wang Ruofu.

Lin Haoshuang found such an older maid for Minglan, obviously because she didn't want Minglan to be taken good care of.

"Minglan, come here." Sheng Changbai waved his hands and shouted.

"Second brother."

After Minglan saw Sheng Changbai screaming, she ran over with short legs and shouted sweetly.

This girl Minglan is lively, cheerful and smart, she is rarer than Sheng Rulan.

On this point, Sheng Changbai agreed with Sheng Hong.

"I asked the doctor to come over and look at my injury. Minglan, isn't your little mother pregnant? You go back with me. After the doctor shows me, you take the doctor away and ask him to help your little mother check it out. .”

'Sheng Changbai' was originally a frail scholar with thin skin and tender flesh. When he first started practicing martial arts, how could he not wear out some wounds and make some calluses.

So in the past few days, Sheng Changbai also invited the doctor to come over to give medicine every day.

Originally, he only needed to take some medicine by himself, but Sheng Changbai spent so much extra private money to invite the doctor to come, just for Wei Xiaoniang.

"Thank you, Second Brother, Lin Xiaoniang just sent a doctor to examine her a few days ago." Sheng Minglan said with a smile.

The little girl is still having fun, these few days, Lin Yeshuang invited a doctor for Wei Xiaoniang, and every day, she sent all kinds of chicken, duck, fish, delicacies, ginseng and bird's nest to Wei Xiaoniang as if she didn't need money.

This silly mother and daughter really thought it was Minglan who had sued Sheng Changhong, and it had an effect.

She thought it was because after Sheng Hong found out, Lin Oshuang didn't dare to treat her courtyard harshly anymore, and doubled the compensation, showing her kindness.

I don't know that Lin Xishuang's sinister intention is to kill Wei Xiaoniang and the child in her belly.

"It's about the prosperity of the Sheng family's heirs. You can't be too careful. If you check it again, it's nothing." Sheng Changbai said affirmatively.

"Yes, Second Brother, I'll go back with you."

He brought Sheng Minglan and Xiao Tao back to his courtyard.

"Yanghao, prepare some snacks and fruits. When the tea comes out, give it to Sixth Sister. Let Sixth Sister eat and wait."

She is also Sheng Hong's child, so Sheng Minglan's treatment is far from Sheng Changbai's.

Not to mention that even if Lin Haoshuang is in charge, she would not dare to deduct Sheng Changbai's various rules and monthly payments.

With Wang Ruofu's subsidy alone, Sheng Changbai can live well without spending money from the Sheng family.

Compared with normal meals, such a big child is still addicted to sweets and likes a little more snacks.

Waiting for Sheng Minglan to eat and drink enough, Sheng Changbai also changed the wound medicine, then asked Yang Hao to lead the doctor to Wei Xiaoniang's courtyard, and ordered:
"Yao Hao, you can remind Wei Xiaoniang privately, and tell her that Lin Xiaoniang's things have never been so easy to eat."

Sheng Changbai felt a little relieved after waiting for Yang Hao to take someone away.

Wei Xiaoniang was born in a scholar's family, she knows the book well, so of course she would not be a fool.

It's just that the education I received didn't include the intrigues and intrigues in the back houses of wealthy families, and my lack of insight.

With the facts checked out by the doctor and Sheng Changbai's reminder, Wei Xiaoniang should be a little wary of Lin Xiaoniang.

Speaking of which, Minglan's biological mother Wei Xiaoniang should also be on the side of Sheng Changbai's old lady Wang Ruofu.

It was Wang Ruofu who helped Sheng Hong buy the concubine, and bought Wei Xiaoniang to make Wei Xiaoniang and Lin Biaoshuang compete for favor.

The result was actually quite successful. After Wei Xiaoniang gave birth to Sheng Minglan, she was pregnant with another child.

It is enough to show that Wei Xiaoniang is quite favored by Sheng Hong.

The provoked Lin Aoshuang will start to kill Wei Xiaoniang, which is enough to prove that Wei Xiaoniang is a sufficient threat to Lin Aoshuang.

……

Another half month later, good news came from Sheng Hong's side.

Sheng Hong served in the Yangzhou Tongjuan. After three years of his term, he got an excellent character in the evaluation.

Sufficient qualifications, excellent political performance, strong background, promotion, and promotion will naturally come naturally.

When Sheng Hong was promoted, the entire Sheng family was of course elated. After being released to the outside world for many years, Sheng Hong was finally going to be transferred to the central government.

After the family was happy, the first thing Sheng Hong thought of was to thank his backstage.

Sheng Hong's backstage is Sheng Changbai's uncle's Wang family.

Sheng Hong's grandfather, Wang Ruofu's deceased father, was an official to the Grand Master, and deserved to enjoy the Taimiao.

Just by listening to this treatment, one should know that the old man stands at the pinnacle of power too high.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the fifth rank was considered a high-ranking official, and the old man was an official up to the first rank.

Although he had not been a grand teacher for a long time, the old man also left behind countless favors and contacts.

After Sheng Hong was able to become a Jinshi, he reached this point in just a dozen years. The official reached the sixth rank, which was one step away from the rank of the scarlet robe.

Of course, it is inseparable from Sheng Hong's means and ability, this is the basic.

But when there are more capable people, Sheng Hong can be promoted when he has enough qualifications and political achievements.

It is inextricably linked with the Wang family and cannot be separated.

It is also because of Sheng Hong's official career that he has never left the care of the Wang family, so Wang Ruofu has the confidence to be strong in front of Sheng Hong, and always wants to overwhelm Sheng Hong, which makes Sheng Hong displeased.

"Changbai, get ready, we're going back to Tokyo, I'm going to take you, your mother, and your sisters and sisters to say goodbye to your uncle's house."

If the Wang family wasn't Sheng Hong's backer, of course Sheng Hong didn't need to go to the Wang family to bid farewell.

"Yes, I'll pack my things when I get back."

Although Sheng Changbai has already reminded Wei Xiaoniang, but in order for 'Sheng Xiaoqi' to be born smoothly, Sheng Changbai still wants to stay at home, and now he is just perfunctory Sheng Hong.

He definitely couldn't reject Sheng Hong directly.

For Sheng Hong, if Wang Ruofu's three children were not brought to the Wang family, it would not be enough to show respect for the Wang family. Sheng Hong was very clear about the way of the world.

"Bai'er, why did you fall ill so suddenly?" Wang Ruofu came to Sheng Changbai's courtyard and said anxiously.

Taking advantage of Sheng Hong's two days of buying Yangzhou specialties and preparing gifts for the Wang family, Sheng Changbai also thought about it for two days, but he still couldn't come up with a good solution. '.

Sickness can't be a real disease. In this era when the fatality rate of colds is not low.

In order to pretend to be sick, to really get sick is to take your life and then make a joke.

He himself is also an 'old Chinese doctor', of course Sheng Changbai also has ways of pretending to be sick.

It's not a big problem to use some medicine to make the pulse signal weaker.

"Mother, it's all because I was ill at the wrong time, and I was late to say goodbye to my uncle's house."

Sheng Changbai said apologetically, now is the time to test his acting skills.

"There are plenty of opportunities to go back to your uncle's house, now it's important for you to take good care of your illness"

Sheng Changbai originally thought that he could just stay at home alone.

Unexpectedly, with his own illness, Wang Ruofu did not plan to go back to her mother's house. Only this son, Wang Ruofu had to stay at home to watch over her so that she could rest assured.

His wife, children, and people related to the Wang family couldn't go. Sheng Hong went there alone, and the meaning of connecting with the Wang family was of course much different.

Sheng Hong simply changed the time to return to the Wang family to bid farewell.

When to go to Wang's house depends on when Sheng Changbai recovers from illness.

Whether he can go to Wang's house now depends on the recovery of Sheng Changbai's illness.

The family's trip was cancelled, and they all surrounded Sheng Changbai's yard.

Sheng Hong, Wang Ruofu, Hua Lan, and Ru Lan took turns visiting the sick.

The result was that Sheng Changbai was embarrassed on the bed, and had to drink some bitter Chinese medicine to invigorate Qi all day long.

Things were beyond Sheng Changbai's expectations, but the result was not unacceptable.

As long as Sheng Changbai continued to be sick, Sheng Hong would stay at home.

Sheng Hong was at home by himself, which saved Sheng Changbai from worrying about Sheng Hong's concubine and children. (end of this chapter)
