Chapter 1754 Nobleman
Changzhong didn't leave after drinking the hot water. The women in the yard had already returned to the house, and only the little girl was sorting out the dried paper in the yard.
The male owner of this family came back and stood outside the fence for a while before recovering, "May I ask who you are?"
Changzhong put down his cup, "I passed by here to ask for some hot water on my study tour, so I don't take the liberty of interrupting you."
The man was obviously only twenty-eight years old. He had been unsuccessful for many years and looked older than his actual age. He looked like thirty-five or sixteen. Changzhong's eyes fell on the man's hand.
The man became agitated after a while, "Are you the master Juren?"
Changzhong shook his head, "It's just some talented people from a family who like to travel and study everywhere."
It was only then that the man remembered that he hadn't introduced himself, "I'm Liu Mingsheng, I'm ashamed to say that I failed to succeed after years of hard work."
Why did Changzhong come to this house, because Liu Mingsheng in front of him didn’t lose his will, “I just read your article, it’s well written, how old are you?”
The man was stunned for a moment, "This year is twenty-eight."
As he spoke, he looked at the paper written in the yard, pain flashed in his eyes, and he didn't understand it, obviously he knew he would hit it.
Chang Zhong said to the boy: "I see that the environment in Xiaoliu Village is good, you can rent a yard."
The boy glanced at the coachman, then thought that no one here knew about him, so he took orders and went out.
Liu Mingsheng asked, "How long do you want to stay?"
Changzhong nodded, "I see that you are also a scholar, can I ask you a lesson or two?"
Liu Mingsheng felt sour in his heart, "The boy is not even a child."
"You are narrow-minded. Everyone has their own way of learning. Take Qiyou to make up for your own shortcomings. It is very important to be open-minded in your studies."
Liu Mingsheng greeted him, "It's because the kid is short-sighted."
When Changzhong saw the woman coming out, Liu Mingsheng remembered that he was carrying grain in his hand, and said to the woman, "I got twenty copper coins today, and I bought all the grain."
The woman's eyes were joyful, and she frowned again, "There is no paper at home."
Liu Mingsheng said: "If you don't have money, wait until you have enough money to buy it. You and the child can't go hungry."
Listening to the conversation between the husband and wife, Changzhong felt a little better about Liu Mingsheng. When the woman and the child entered, Changzhong asked, "I see that your handwriting is good, why didn't you go to the bookstore to get it?"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Mingsheng interrupted: "I've been there, don't need me."
Even if he only asked for the lowest salary, he was not used, and he could find work to help with accounts or write letters.
In the capital city, the highlight of the book fair is coming, Concubine Chen said with a smile: "Everyone knows that I have prepared a lottery, everyone must be curious about what to compare."
All the female relatives waited quietly, and the concubine did not hold back, and continued: "Better than anyone else's short story, the premise must be one you think about."
Zhulan looked at the granddaughters, was it cheating for her own granddaughter to participate?
Concubine Chen's voice fell, many people wanted to participate, especially those who wanted to show off, winning the first place would not only be famous, but also catch the eyes of Concubine Chen.
All the young ladies participated, and the women did not participate but expected their daughters to win the first prize.
Concubine Chen has ordered someone to bring the jackpot, "This is my dowry headgear. I have never worn it before, and it has been refurbished."
The lottery was taken out, and the atmosphere of the game became more tense.
Yudie didn't want to participate, she didn't want the limelight, she might as well watch the game quietly.
Yu Yi is not someone who likes to show off, so she suppressed Yu Jiao not to participate.
Yuwen was even more lazy to participate, and looked up at grandma with a smile on her lips. She always thought that the stories grandma told were good.
It's not easy for Linxi to participate, so as not to say it's unfair, who let her identity exist!
The participating girls stood up, and Linxi paid attention to Miss An. This ambition is not small, but I don't know if she has the wisdom to match her ambition.
How about the stories the ladies tell, most of them are anecdotal stories, whether they are about love or not, all the ladies of the official family care about their own reputation regardless of whether they are engaged or not.
Not to mention that there are really good ones, one of them, Miss Jiao, told the story of solving the case, and added some ghosts. Fortunately, it was told during the day, and it would be a shock at night.
Zhulan's eyes lit up when she heard that,
This girl is good at creating an atmosphere.
Concubine Chen also nodded repeatedly, and finally the result came out, Miss Jiao took the lead.
Linxi said to Yuwen: "This girl is interesting."
Yuwen, "Yes."
Linxi looked at Miss An who was jealous but wanted to endure, and sneered in her heart.
Miss Jiao was full of joy. Her story was affirmed. Not only did she win the lottery, the concubine also bought her story!
Seeing that the little girl was neither arrogant nor impatient, Zhulan curled her lips, and the little girl caught the eyes of many female relatives.
In Xiaoliujia Village, Liu Mingsheng, who passed the Changzhong exam, was amazed. His knowledge was very solid. Sure enough, there was a problem if he didn't pass the exam. This guy who couldn't make money was obviously suppressed.
Chang Zhong asked, "Seeing that I have to register, can I continue to take the exam this year?"
Liu Mingsheng hooked his fingertips, "No, the lady needs money for the family to give birth."
Changzhong smiled, "I'll test you with a question."
Liu Mingsheng was inexplicably nervous, "Please tell me."
"What do you think of the current imperial examination system?"
Liu Mingsheng was dumbfounded, how about the imperial examination? Scholars, farmers, businessmen, imperial examinations are used to select talents for the imperial court, and it is also an opportunity for poor students to leap to the dragon's gate. Naturally, it is good, but there is no resentment in his heart, he is obviously talented and educated.
Changzhong was not in a hurry, he looked at the mountains in the distance quietly, thinking about the talents recruited by the Ministry of Industry over the years, some of the Ministry of Industry were particularly good at counting, his mother said that the person in the Ministry of Industry was a genius, but taking the imperial examination must be I couldn't get in, because the Four Books and Five Classics were a mess, so my mother laughed and said that the partial subjects were too serious.
Don't look at my father's disdain for the Ministry of Industry as a big money eater, but the money that should be given will never be less, and he will talk about the importance of talents from time to time. The emperor is influenced by his thoughts, so the Ministry of Industry will select talents nationwide.
Changzhong curled his lips, in fact, he has changed a lot without knowing it, and he is only waiting for the opportunity to change slowly through accumulation.
Liu Mingsheng pursed his lips, "Do you know the county magistrate?"
"I don't know."
Liu Mingsheng took a deep breath, "The magistrate of the county is an official who came from a family background, and he became the magistrate of today's magistrate after more than ten years of separation. However, the magistrate of the county is not interested in the government affairs of the county. Poetry is right."
Changzhong's eyes were deep, "If it was you, how would you handle the government affairs in the county?"
Liu Mingsheng was dumbfounded, "Huh?"
Chang Zhong smiled, stood up and said, "That's all for today, you go to apply for the exam, don't worry if you meet because of fate."
Liu Mingsheng's heart was pounding, but he endured it, "No, I can't."
"If you don't feel sorry, help me write a set of Four Books silently, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone will be delivered tomorrow."
"ah?"
Changzhong smiled, "Don't rush to give it to me, you write slowly, and give it to me when I come back from my study tour."
Liu Mingsheng came to his senses and the person in front of him had left. His intuition told him that he had met a noble person. If he didn't seize this opportunity, he would never be able to turn around again!
