Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 276 Wen Yanjing’s random thoughts

Although the waiter didn't know the Sheng family, the saying that all the people living in Jiying Lane were officials of the third and fourth grades already showed that the Sheng family was not simple.

Whether he befriended Sheng Changbai or went to the Sheng family to study, it was an opportunity for him.

Before leaving for Bianjing, his teacher who had taught him for ten years spoke to him.

"Shigao, with your talent and learning, even if you fail the exam this time, you will have a great chance next time.

But for ordinary people, the imperial examination is indeed an opportunity to change their destiny. But officialdom pays attention to connections. Based on your background, unless you can pass the first-level exam.

Otherwise, you may end up as a seventh-rank official in your lifetime.

Unless you can find a teacher with a high status, or you can catch a son-in-law and marry a noble lady. "

At that time, Wen Yan was arrogant and proud, thinking that with his talents and learning, he would be able to make a name for himself.

But after coming to Bianjing, he discovered that there were so many scholars in the world.

Once you pass the exam, there is no need to catch your son-in-law.

When the results were released, those who wanted to catch their sons-in-law were businessmen and people from low-ranking families.

Therefore, Wen Yanjing's only choice was to become a famous teacher with high status.

I tossed and turned until late at night before falling asleep.

In Gyeonggi Province alone, tens of thousands of students took the provincial examination, but only 500 were admitted.

This time getting married with Sheng Changbai was an opportunity for him.

It was slightly brighter the next day, and Wen Yanjing woke up.

With excitement, I finished eating the noodles and went back to the room to read for a while.

However, his mind was so confused that he couldn't even look into it.

Even if you pass the exam, what will happen? There will be examinations and imperial examinations later. Only after passing these can you be awarded an official.

A truly high-ranking family would not even bother looking for a son-in-law.

They selected some very talented and famous students early on and got in touch with them.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wen Yanjing simply tidied up and went to bed.

He has been in Bianjing for half a month, and he has often heard that some poor children who were named on the gold list will only be appointed as prose officials until their death.

I put on the new clothes my mother made when I came to Bianjing, washed up, and left the inn.

Wen Yanjing believed in his talent and learning, and he needed a platform for others to see his talent and learning.

As for catching a son-in-law under the official list, Wen Yanjing has also heard people say that it is not that simple.

However, those who were born as commoners were mostly awarded to a literary official.

And Shengjia is this platform.

Wen Sanguan only had a basic salary, which was a change of fate for the original Wen family, but Wen Yanjing was unwilling to accept it.

And he has been in Bianjing for a while, but no one has contacted him, which shows that no one takes a fancy to him.

After asking people about it, he went to Jiying Lane.

On the way, he bought two steamed buns and ate them while walking. As for the bullock cart, he was reluctant to sit on it.

When he came to Bianjing, his teacher and his family gave him some money. Originally, Wen Yanjing thought that the money was enough.

It was not until I arrived in Bianjing that I realized that Bianjing was a big city and difficult to live in.

The provincial examination only started in half a month, and after the examination, he still had to wait for the results to be released. Wen Yanjing lived carefully every day, fearing that he would run out of money and end up sleeping on the streets.

Even though it's March, the weather in the early morning is still a bit chilly.

However, Wen Yanjing's heart was filled with heat, and since he was walking, he didn't feel cold at all.

When approaching Jiying Lane, Wen Yanjing finally got some news about the Sheng family.

Wen Yanjing was somewhat disappointed when he learned that the leader of the Sheng family was only a fifth-rank official.

He originally wanted to send me to Qingyun by relying on his strength.

Unexpectedly, the wind seemed a bit weak and could not blow him.

Of course, the fifth-grade official in their county was already a higher official than the county magistrate, but in Bianjing they could be said to be a handful. Although this platform is smaller than he imagined and may not be his springboard, it is currently his only chance.

Wen Yanjing calmed down and followed the inquiry route to the door of Sheng's house.

When he saw the Sheng family residence, Wen Yanjing suddenly realized that the Sheng family was not as bad as he thought.

Apart from anything else, the Sheng family's house seems to be the largest in Jiying Lane.

The houses of other third- and fourth-rank official families are only half the size of the Sheng family, and some even don't have one.

From this point of view, the Sheng family still has some foundation.

Wen Yanjing did not come forward to call the door, but waited on the opposite side of the street.

The servants of wealthy families tend to look down upon others. Although he is wearing new clothes made by his mother, he is actually not as good as the servants of wealthy families.

Of course Wen Yanjing would not feel inferior because of this, but he did not want to be humiliated.

I remember that Li An is also coming to the Sheng family to study, so the time is coming soon.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, Wen Yanjing saw a carriage approaching. It was the same carriage Li An rode in yesterday.

When the carriage stopped, Wen Yanjing saw Li An coming down and walked over quickly.

"Zi Qian!"

Li An got off the carriage and Desheng stepped forward to call the door. At this moment, a shout came from behind.

"Brother Shigao, when did you arrive? Why didn't you go in?" Li An said in surprise when he saw Wen Yanjing.

"Haha, I just arrived too." Wen Yanjing said with a smile.

Li An secretly laughed, Wen Yanjing's face turned pale, how could he just arrive, but he didn't expose it, and said with a smile: "That's a coincidence, let's go in together."

"Sorry for bothering Ziqian." Wen Yanjing said with cupped hands.

"No trouble, let's go."

Li An took Wen Yanjing into Sheng's house and told the concierge about Wen Yanjing's situation when he entered.

Although he is the future uncle of the Sheng family, his servants will not stop him, but if he brings a stranger to the door, he must say something.

"I didn't expect Zicheng to be the son of Dr. Sheng's family. I guess Zi Qian's identity is not simple, right?" Wen Yanjing followed Li An and asked hesitantly.

Yesterday, Li An only said that because of his four warning words, he was appreciated by the officials and was given the title of prose official, but he did not say what his status was.

However, Li An travels in a carriage and is dressed in extraordinary clothes, and the servants of the Sheng family treat him with great respect.

Wen Yanjing guessed that Li An's identity must not be simple.

Li An smiled and said, "My background is similar to that of Brother Shigao. My parents were in business a few years ago, and things have become better for our family."

He had somewhat guessed what Wen Yanjing was thinking.

But Li An didn't care. After all, when he saw Ru Lan falling into the water, he jumped in to save her without hesitation. He had the same idea.

Later, when I met Gu Tingye, didn't I also know Gu Tingye's identity and have some deliberate thoughts about it?

In the adult world, there is always some utilitarianism.

There is no reason to double standard others.

"Then why did the servant I was looking after at the porter look so respectful to you just now?" Wen Yanjing asked in confusion.

"Haha, it's nothing. I am engaged to the sixth girl of the Sheng family, so the concierge is naturally more respectful to me." Li An said with a smile.

"That's it."

Wen Yanjing thought thoughtfully. With Li An's background, the Sheng family was able to betroth the girl to him because they took a fancy to his talents.

If he shows off his talents, will the Sheng family also marry him a girl?
He remembered that when he was inquiring about the Sheng family, he heard that there were three girls in the Sheng family who had not yet had haircuts.

Li An didn't know that Wen Yanjing had already started thinking wildly, so he took him to the Sheng Family Academy.

When they entered the school, the Sheng Changbai brothers had already arrived.

Sheng Changbai heard the footsteps and looked over. When he saw Wen Yanjing, he was startled for a moment, then stood up in surprise and said with a smile: "Brother Shigao, I thought you weren't coming."
