Prosperous Pastoral: Sweet Pet Peasant Wife

Chapter 223 How Difficult the Imperial Examination Road Is

"My lord, where are we going now? Otherwise, let's go to live in Xiaowai. With our current silver taels, we can fully support it. I'm afraid we have to save it." Zeng Da also knew Lei Chengfeng's Temper, even if you think about it, you won't let your family bring money.It is for the sake of proposing to save some money for a long time, so that the two of them can study quietly, and they are somewhat economical.

However, Lei Chengfeng shook his head ponderingly.

He took out ten taels of silver, "Let's go to this store to rent a guest room first, let's stay here first and then talk about it. I'll think about the matter of money."

Scholars are not useless.

He has done some work at home.

I also want to find a road in this capital that is suitable for me to take the imperial examination and make money.

It's just that how this road is to be born requires a lot of understanding.

"My lord, you should study at ease. If something else happens, the gain will outweigh the loss." Seeing him like this, Zeng Da knew that his son wanted to have something else.

Although he also admired the son as a talent.

Unique insights, and, reading talent is also high.

However, a person's energy is limited and he cannot do everything at the same time.

Therefore, he admires, but does not agree with some of his things.

"I'll go to find out first, presumably, there is no unparalleled road."

Lei Chengfeng did not accept Zeng Da's persuasion.Instead, after staying there, he visited the scholars who were rushing for the exam together.

Among them, I also met an existence who was regarded as a fellow villager.The existence of this kind of fellow countryman is also extremely important in the official imperial examination.Once everyone wins, it is also an existence that can watch and help each other.

Therefore, the two hit it off immediately and chatted a lot.

It was also because from this man's mouth, Lei Chengfeng learned a lot about the capital.

"In our area, Liu Juren is the most likely to be selected. It is said that his articles are beautiful and his sentences are endlessly memorable. More importantly, this person is outstanding in terms of talent and conduct. On the one hand, he does not fall behind in every way. The more important point is that this person... has a good appearance. It is said that many talented women, even wealthy families, want to marry their daughters to him."

Hearing him talk about this person, Lei Chengfeng thought of Liu Juren whom he went to visit.

Truly a talent.

Not to mention the long and beautiful, more importantly, he is open-minded, and his whole body is also rich and noble.Look, it should be the children of everyone from the local area who came out to practice.Such a family, as long as they have some achievements, will naturally be recited by others and may become an official.

"However, that man is really not very discreet when it comes to female sex. Generally speaking, it is normal for a man like him to have a wife. But I heard that he has never been married until now. Hehe, who would believe it? Ah, anyway, I don’t believe it. People like me already have wives and children at home, and he looks about my age, how can he not have a wife and children? Coax the ghosts!”

Lei Chengfeng pondered for a while, then shook his head slightly and denied it.

"Brother, don't say that. Some people will think that this matter of marriage can be found sooner or later. Maybe they will find the right person after they are in high school. After all, good men have ambitions everywhere and don't You don't have to obey your parents early in the morning and get married early."

Chen Zisheng was stunned and nodded immediately. "If this is the case, then my views are superficial, and I only know how to judge others by myself. Some people have big hearts."

Forming a good marriage is more beneficial for the future.That
"Hehe, the shapes of people's hearts may be similar, but the thoughts in people's hearts are the most uncontrollable. As long as you are a human being, you only need to do what you want. For the rest, we just need to watch."

Lei Chengfeng smiled slightly.All people have ambitions.If these people who are outstanding talents don't want to come to Zhongju, who would come to the capital so early to live in the capital.

He did not dislike Liu Juren's actions.After all, some people like to take shortcuts.But he never thought that he would take the path of relying on his in-laws.

"Hey, we are humble students, so we can only work hard. We can't match our connections. However, Liu Juren is still good. I heard that there are quite a few Juren who won the imperial examination. Afterwards, it’s not good to despise the wife at home, and there are some who quietly deal with it ruthlessly. People, it’s better not to lose your heart.”

Chen Zisheng is a man who talks a lot, but some of the words are reasonable.For this reason, Lei Chengfeng just smiled lightly.

During the exchange with Chen Zisheng, Lei Chengfeng also learned that there is actually a school in the capital that teaches how to take the exam when the class starts.

"That class is really expensive. I was lucky enough to attend a class. The people who teach in it are indeed talented people. There are many eloquent people, and the treatment is good. However, those who can afford it, that is, That gang."

"Oh, there is such an academy?"

Lei Chengfeng became interested.

"That's right, this kind of college is the most famous one founded by Guanren Liu. It is said that he was also admitted by a poor family. He experienced various imperial examinations in the capital in the early years, so he wanted to open such a college. admitted college.

There are examination questions from each year over the years, and there are many lecturers.There are even lecturers who pay attention to the various forces in the capital, and so on.Going there, every class has a lot to gain.It's a pity that such a class is too expensive.For one class, you have to get... ten taels of silver. "

Hearing such a price, Lei Chengfeng, who was prepared, also remained silent at this moment.

"It's really expensive."

Originally, I thought, if I could, maybe I could go and listen.

However, now that it sounds like this, and the price is so expensive, I'm afraid... it can't be done.

"Hey, I think you want to go, too. If you can be admitted by the teachers of the college, you can listen to other lecturers after giving lectures. They will also recruit some teachers. Go to lectures. But, these lecturers are either eloquent, or they are the kind of people who write excellent articles and can be commented on. Entering the college as a lecturer is not only free to listen to other people's courses, but more importantly After one class, depending on the number of people, there will be a considerable amount of income. I heard that for those who teach well, some of the commissions for one class can reach two taels of silver per person. Even if it is the earliest The lecturer who went to the school a while ago can get a tael of silver for attending the lectures alone. Of course, the other nine taels will be collected by the group of people who run the academy..."

"Of course, there are also special lecturers. For example, invite a certain great Confucianism to give lectures. Maybe the college has to pay for it. After all, great Confucianism is not so easy to hire. Even if you don't give money, you have to give it to the Great Confucian Something that is tempting. In short, it all depends on the relationship between the academy."

After all, the person who can think of opening such a college is also a talent.

Lei Chengfeng also had a plan in his heart. After carefully inquiring about some personnel in the academy who had been recruiting for a long time, he planned to try it too.

After Zeng Da heard about this incident, he went to the academy to inquire about it in detail.

Afterwards, when they came back, the master and servant made some plans, and they both felt that the plan seemed feasible.

"My lord, I see that you might try their debate. It shouldn't be a problem. Besides, being a debate lecturer in such a college is also a place to train people. I thought it was quite exciting when you debated with your wife before." , now, if you can successfully take the test, maybe it is really feasible."

Lei Chengfeng was full of confidence, "Debate, as well as arithmetic, I can give it a try."

He has learned a lot from his wife, in fact, he can try them all.

"Oh, this is what they asked for. For the first exam, you have to come up with a question yourself. All the current debate lecturers in the college will participate in the talent assessment together. That is to say, if you want to enter this college, son A group of lecturers who are famous for debating, conduct a debate and convince them, and then eliminate another lecturer who is not satisfactory in all aspects. The teachers in this place are all eliminated. Once there are more The selection of outstanding talents means that the people in front of them will be eliminated. Therefore, here... not only get better treatment, but more importantly, they also train people. However, it is accompanied by extremely high pressure. Big."

When Zeng Da talked about this college, he really admired it.

"I don't know who the founder of this company is, who actually has such a perfect management method. I really want to see it. I heard that he is a high-ranking official, and he opened it with several people."

"Yeah, this guy really has a lot of ideas. Besides, he can use it in practice. I heard that he was a Ming official or something. He was also a poor man in the early years. Now he works with a few capitals. The rich and powerful people jointly opened such an academy. Although the fees are expensive, it can benefit many students. Therefore, no one criticizes this academy."

Ming officials.

At this moment, Lei Chengfeng remembered the name.

The next day, Lei Chengfeng, who was ready, planned to go to this college to assess the teacher.

Because it is an elimination system, there will be an assessment to select teachers almost every month.

This time, Lei Chengfeng also happened to know that there is something about the college here, and the assessment will be on the third day.Therefore, he didn't make too many preparations, and planned to come to investigate and debate.

There were no fewer than twenty people who came to take the test this time.

To Lei Chengfeng's surprise, there was also Liu Juren, who was said to be tall and outstanding, and very good at drilling.

The two met only yesterday, and today they saw each other at this place, and they also greeted each other.

That Liu Juren knew a lot of people here, and many people who came to take the exam were also old with him.Therefore, along the way, many people gathered around him to chat about various issues.

On the other hand, because Lei Chengfeng is a newcomer, he doesn't know many people.Just standing there alone listening to this group of people chatting about various issues...
