Chapter 95 The most beautiful time in Mei Xuezheng's life

Not long after, Chen Heng showed Jia Yucun his strategy.However, his strategy has always been guided by Lin Ruhai himself.Jia Yucun watched it for a long time, but he could only say 'good'.

"Looking at your writing, there should be an expert behind the scenes." Jia Yucun put down his teacup and said very relieved.

Chen Heng thought about it for a while, and still kept the matter of Uncle Lin secret, and only made some excuses, "The head of the mountain has repeatedly mentioned his orders in private. If he can't write well, I'm afraid he will be punished."

Jia Yucun laughed when he heard the words, he could tell from Pei Huaizhen's ability to let Chen Heng go out for so long that the head of the mountain took extra care of him.Nodding again, he said, "Remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, don't relax."

Chen Heng immediately nodded in agreement, and then Jia Yucun waved him away.

Seeing the other party leave step by step, Jia Yucun looked down at Chen Heng's article again.

They are also farmers. If I had a good place like Yueyi Academy and a famous teacher like Pei Huaizhen when I was young, would my life be better now?

This question only stayed in Jia Yucun's mind for a while, and then he waved it away by himself.

It's useless to think too much, now that I'm a Jinshi, can I go back to my childhood and pass the exam again?
Jia Yucun shook his head and laughed, raised his hand to find an idle book from the bookshelf, sat on the chair, and enjoyed the afternoon quietly.

Time flies, after Chen Heng and Xue Biao finished the make-up exam, there are only a few days before June.

In the last two days, Mei Xuezheng, who had left the academy for many years, suddenly visited Yueyi Academy again.

As the head of a school in Yangzhou Mansion, he is in charge of scholars and children with fame. There are many students and scholars in the academy, and they are very enthusiastic about his arrival.

Chen Heng would know the news, it was Xue Biao who went out halfway, and came back angrily to tell him.

"So, you ran into Mei Shengjia on the way?"

Chen Heng called the other party's name very impolitely.Although he has no enmity or grudge with the other party.

But the other party is someone Xue Biao hates, if he is too polite, it will chill the heart of his friend.

This is nothing to be ashamed of, the friendship between men also needs such childish maintenance.

"Isn't that right? I thought he was waiting halfway, deliberately showing off in front of me." Xue Biao was still a little unconvinced.

It is said that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Now that Mei Xuezheng's promotion can be seen with the naked eye, even Mei Shengjia is also arrogant in the academy.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Chen Heng also smiled secretly, and he didn't know what the other party said, so he made Cheng Cheng a gentleman like this, "What did he say?"

"He asked me if I could come to the house to play after taking a rest in a few days." Xue Biao rolled his eyes, not even caring about his manners, he pulled a bench and sat beside Chen Heng, shaking his fan.

Chen Heng smiled and stopped talking.The second wife of Xue's family is a little bit out of power now, after all, their family is not very close to the now dignified Wang and Jia families.

These relationships all fall on the eldest son of the Xue family, so it has nothing to do with them.

But after a few more years, when Xue Zhen, who is in charge of the newspaper industry, has developed, it will be difficult to say who is more prestigious.

Chen Heng thought about this in his heart, and asked again: "Then why is Mei Xuezheng here this time?"

"Sui Ke." Xue Biao shrugged, "Next year will be the time when Mei Xuezheng will step down. Don't take advantage of this opportunity to make more money so that you can go to Beijing to find an official."

Chen Heng nodded, saying that Mei Jin's fortune in recent years has been really good.

The annual examination is held twice every three years, and the academic administration in each province and government generally takes three years as a term.The reason for such frequent replacements is also because the imperial court is worried that some Xuezhengs will accept bribes from them and willfully suppress students from all over the world.

The former can be tolerated, but the latter is prone to trouble.

In other provinces in the past, it was not that Xuezheng asked students to collect money and caused troubles to the court.

The last time, 30 or [-] years ago, a new Xuezheng came to Jiangxi. This Xuezheng is from another province. He probably didn’t know the way. quota, and qualifications for the provincial examination.

How can Jiangxi students get used to him, a few bold ones are trapped in the academy by grabbing Xuezheng.Those with strong writing skills wrote articles on the spot, and those with well-connected people went out to call people, and they made a fuss about this matter from the government office to the court.

Leaving aside the imperial court's punishment of the students afterwards, this academic administration must be finished.

If you want to say that among the school politics in the provinces, the most honest one is the school politics in Ludi.This place is also the place that most Xuezheng least like to go to.

Probably because of etiquette and rules, I can't speak for Shandong people.

Two years ago, when Mei Xuezheng's first term expired.The imperial court had quarreled for several days for the post of Yangzhou Xuezheng.In the end, it was the honest and obedient Mei Xuezheng who got the upper hand and allowed him to be re-elected for another three years.

But in any case, returning to Beijing at the end of this year is a sure thing.

The year-old exam was too far away from them, Chen Heng and Xue Biao quickly changed the topic to other places.

Xue Biao and Chen Heng were not the only ones who had a headache for the Mei family.

At this time, Jia Yucun also had a cold face, and followed behind Mei Jin, touring around the academy.

Behind the two of them are plum blossoms, An Ding and other academy Xuezheng.They gathered here today because of the second annual examination in September, also called scientific examination.

In August of this year, there was a rural examination in Yangzhou. Because the number of students in Yangzhou has increased in recent years, the expansion of the original Gongyuan is imminent.As soon as the township examination was over, the government office decided to close the courtyard and expand it, and also built a Confucius Temple by the way.

At that time, the scientific examination site can only be moved to Yueyi Academy.This is also a good thing, after all, it can make more people proud to be admitted to Yueyi Academy.

But Mei Xuezheng didn't know what medicine he took wrongly today, so he yelled "Jia Xuezheng" at Jia Yucun.From time to time, he pulled Xuezheng from other academies, pointed to the flowers and trees in the courtyard and said: When and under what circumstances did I plant this.

In case others don't know, Jia Yucun took his place.

Those who are interested are happy to watch the jokes of Le Yi College, and secretly pass on the words to Mei Xuezheng.

That is to say, Mei Xuezheng knew that there was still an old mountain elder sitting in the academy, so he didn't dare to make too much of a fuss.In addition, Jia Yucun's own energy-raising skills are strong enough, and he can still hold on until now.

However, Jia Yucun couldn't help but feel angry when he thought that he was a second-ranked Jinshi, and a fool who was third-ranked was riding on his head to do his best.

The hand that hung down was tightly held in the sleeve.No matter how popular Jia Yucun was, he had no choice but to hold back his breath and followed Mei Xuezheng step by step.

After a while, Mei Jin finished touring around the academy, then turned to the students in front of her, and asked with a smile, "I think this Academy of Music and Instruments is a suitable place for scientific examinations."

This isn't taking off your pants and farting, it's unnecessary to ask.Many students nodded positively, but couldn't help complaining in their hearts: We walked here for a long time because of this matter, otherwise who would see you showing off here for a long time.

How could Mei Jin fail to guess what they were thinking, but did he care?This is what he wanted.

Power tastes so good.

How could Mei Jin be willing to give up on the fact that a student in a government office can be so successful.

Thinking of next winter month, I will leave to return to Beijing to report on my work, I really can't be reconciled after thinking about it.

No, I have to establish a relationship with Xue's second room as soon as possible.

Mei Xuezheng made up his mind. He knew his family background, and Xue's parents looked down on his son, so he had no choice but to attack Xue Baoqin.

…………

…………

Chen Heng and Xue Biao didn't know anything about the outside world.After Mei Xuezheng left, Xin Suzhao just returned to the academy, and Mei Shengjia didn't know where to hide.

In the evening, Chen Heng received a message from Sister Lin, saying that his family would have a small gathering on the sixth day of June.She invited sister Xue, and wanted to call Chen Heng and Xue Biao to accompany her.

Chen Heng asked Xue Biao what he meant, and when he saw that the other party was fine, he wrote back to Sister Lin.

"What is the festival on the sixth day of June?" Chen Heng asked curiously.

Xue Biao was also puzzled, "I've only heard of the Clothes Drying Festival, but generally no one else celebrates it. I think it's my younger sister who wants to play, so let her go."

"If the two of you have nothing to talk about, don't just sit around and help us choose articles." Jiang Yuanbai looked at the two of them resentfully. The articles selected today will be sent to newspaper shops tomorrow or the day after. .

He was dying of anxiety, these two people were still discussing about the clothes drying festival, it was simply out of their minds.

Chen Heng and Xue Biao laughed, and quickly stood up to make amends.One sat next to Jiang Yuanbai, and the other moved to Qian Dayou's side, honestly working as a coolie.

In the blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of June, Chen Heng and Xue Biao tidied up a bit, then got into Xue's carriage and went to Lin's house.

With Chen Heng's face around, the two of them naturally saved the trivial matter of door stickers.

The servants led them all the way to the Lin family courtyard, where there were already three or five figures in the pavilion in the distance.

"Brother." Lin Jue's eyes were sharpest, and he shouted when he saw Chen Heng, and ran in front of him with a smile.

Brother Jue's complexion was better than before.Chen Heng pinched the other person's face with a smile, and introduced him: "This is your brother Xue, you should also call him brother."

"Brother Xue." Lin Jue said sweetly.

"Hello, brother Lin." Xue Biao had already learned from Chen Heng that sister Lin had such a younger brother, so the first time he came to the door, he brought a gift.

Lin Jue happily accepted it, and then asked Chen Heng, "Brother, did you bring me a present?"

"Of course." Chen Heng smiled slightly, and took out a homemade exercise book.

"Brother, you gave me this last time too!!!" Lin Jue was also extremely impressed.

Chen Heng continued to maintain a kind smile, "Don't worry, don't worry, there will be some in the future."

"Hahahahaha."

Lin Daiyu who didn't know when came over, from covering her mouth to hold back her laughter to covering her stomach at the end, couldn't help stomping her feet and said: "Brother, you are bullying my brother too much."

"I said the same thing to Shuangxi and Jixiang. Brothers should be treated equally." Chen Heng waved his hands cheekily, regardless of the distance between his two younger brothers, he would not send anything back. .

If Lin Jue has it, he must also have Double Happiness and Auspiciousness.

They are all younger brothers, and he loves them all.

"Hello, Sister Lin, sister She and I are going to visit to disturb you this time." After Chen Heng finished speaking, Xue Biao said hello to Sister Lin.

"Brother Xue is being polite, my relationship with Sister Baoqin is no worse than yours." Lin Daiyu wrinkled her nose and pulled Baoqin out from behind.

There are two fairy flowers from other worlds, one is elegant and noble, the other is bright and majestic, each with its own style.

"Hello, sister Xue." Chen Heng also saluted.

"Brother Chen." Baoqin lowered her head slightly, and for some reason, hid behind Sister Lin again.

Sister Lin took Baoqin's hand and said to the three people in front of her, "Come on, let's sit and talk in the pavilion."

On the way, Lin Daiyu suddenly smiled at Chen Heng: "Brother, I heard that you were scolded?"

　Oh, how could I have such a caring book friend.I was really touched, the book friends in the group said, let me pay attention to my body, don't rush to update, and get a good sleep first.

　　WooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooYou guys are so kind.However, the three shifts in the past few days really drained my last drop, I will take it easy, brothers, don't wait, I will make up slowly tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
