Free-spirited Illegitimate Son

Ye Chunqiu had no choice but to get up, reluctantly held the book, and read it absent-mindedly, but Ye Jing felt that Ye Chunqiu was not good at reading like this, and urged him to read it aloud.Ye Chunqiu had no choice but to recite aloud: "Zi said: learn and practice..."

Ye Jing said again: "Why are you still studying the Analects of Confucius? You have already won the prize of a scholar, and you are also the head of the case. Do you still want to memorize the Four Books?"

Uh……

Looking at Ye Jing's stern gaze, Ye Chunqiu felt quite ashamed. What he said was right. He was a champion in the high school entrance examination and memorized a knitting nine-nine multiplication table. He had no choice but to bite the bullet: "Son, go practice calligraphy."

Ye Jing shook his head: "No, you can't practice calligraphy all the time. Crafting is the key. Come on, let's ask each other for advice. Sit down and ask you as a father. I'm old and I'm old. What's the answer?"

Ye Chunqiu felt that he was quite funny. If he had known this, it would be better to let his father marry a stepmother and return home to be more clean. He hurriedly went to check his brain, and after a short time, he said: "This sentence comes from "Mencius Liang King Hui", the original sentence is the old, my old and the old of people, the young and my young and the young of people..."

Ye Jing frowned: "Why are you so slow? Since you are the head of the case, you should blurt out."

Then he continued the test and asked seven or eight questions in a row. Ye Chunqiu felt his head was getting dizzy, and he searched in a hurry as if his brain was about to find time.

After a whole morning of tossing, Ye Chunqiu did not know how many answers he had answered, and he was out of breath, but Ye Jing still felt dissatisfied. He waited until Ye San brought breakfast, and then he gave up: "Continue to take the school exam tomorrow. Eat first, wait Later, you and my father and son will compete on articles."

Ye Chunqiu said oh, the breakfast was very rich, even a little too much, it was no longer salted vegetables and radishes, Ye Chunqiu knew in his heart that his case had a lot of gold, and that second uncle and second aunt didn't dare to mess around.

In other words, I am no longer at the same level as them. They want to fight now, and they don't even have the qualifications.

This is the benefit of fame, and Ye San on the side said: "Master, Young Master Chunqiu, many people came to congratulate him early this morning, and they all said that Young Master Chunqiu has supernatural powers, and he will have great promise in the future." , and said that no Jiazi in Fenghua County has ever given out a small three yuan, Master Chunqiu is amazing."

"Then I'll go and have a look." Suffering from Ye Jing's torture, Ye Chunqiu wanted to run away.

Ye Jing, on the other hand, said with a straight face: "Don't go, study your homework carefully, because father will study art with you in the morning, you are a scholar, and your tail is up to the sky? You can only be good if you suffer hard. People, you are still early, and those who announce good news and flatter you will naturally be entertained by your elder father, what you have to do now is to study hard."

Ye Chunqiu can't help it, hooligans are not scary, they are afraid of hooligans who are educated, inferring from this, he is not afraid of his father being ruthless, but he is more ruthless to himself.A person who is so ruthless to himself for the sake of fame and fame, it is conceivable to be his son.

Well, read.

It was not completely fruitless for father and son to "ask for advice" with each other. In addition to giving Ye Chunqiu a deeper understanding of stereotyped writing and the Four Books and Five Classics, Ye Chunqiu's speed of searching the optical brain was actually faster. Any tricky questions did not need time-consuming searches. Immediately and keenly aware of the key words, and then the center of the sea of ​​knowledge thought, the thing he was looking for immediately appeared in his mind, and the next moment Ye Chunqiu opened his mouth and blurted it out.

And Ye Jing seems to be aware of his son's genius, no matter whether it is written poems or stereotyped essays, there is nothing that stumps Ye Chunqiu, and he has gained a lot from it. The answer can be described as incisive, but it made him reflect and benefited a lot from it.

After being tossed about by his father for two days, someone from the county has come to inform Ye Chunqiu to rush to Ningbo as soon as possible to attend the pan ceremony.

The so-called entry into pan actually means to enter school. This school is not an ordinary school, but a government school and a county school. From then on, one's name must be entered in the roster of Confucianism and officially become a scholar. The government will give many privileges, such as A certain amount of tax and corvee is exempted, and if the best grades of granary students, they can also receive seven buckets of rice from Confucianism as a subsidy every month.

The above are only explicit privileges, and there are also many invisible privileges, such as not worshiping officials, for example, if you commit a crime, the magistrate is not allowed to deal with it, you need to let the school officials deal with it first, for example, if you have the right to make trouble, you can occasionally scold Scold the magistrate.Even if you are away from home and away from home, you no longer need guides. If you think the road is unsafe, you can even wear a sword. In short, you are a scholar, you have become a reserve cadre of the Ming Dynasty, and you are the pride of heaven.

After entering the pan ceremony, Ye Chunqiu entered the government school in a serious manner, so the Ye family attached great importance to it. The old man personally ordered the carriage to be prepared. He wanted to let another healthy servant go with him besides Ye San. Ye Jing But he refused, the old man is so arrogant, sometimes Ye Chunqiu can't stand his stubborn temper.

Forget it, at dawn on the third day, Ye Chunqiu set off, and arrived at the county seat at noon, this time he finally became a scholar, Ye Chunqiu was supposed to meet the county magistrate of Prince Enfu who was in his county examination.

County Magistrate Wang seems to be quite busy these days. Ye Chunqiu saw that he had lost weight twice. After Ye Chunqiu saluted, County Magistrate Wang smiled and said, "Chunqiu is very competitive, and we in Fenghua can be regarded as a supernatural power. The county is very relieved."

Then they exchanged some pleasantries, County Magistrate Wang seemed to have something to do, and seemed a little distracted, before drinking a cup of tea, a clerk from the county hurried over and whispered something to County Magistrate Wang, Ye Chunqiu sat far away , only vaguely heard words like 'playing chess', 'prefect' and 'chief minister'.

Ye Chunqiu was sensible, so he got up and said, "Students must rush to Fucheng, so I will leave now."

"Since that's the case, there won't be any more stays in this county, but you are young, is there someone to take care of you on the road?" He paused, and said to the clerk: "The time to take this official is based on survey and cooperation. .”

Ye Chunqiu originally had some opinions on County Magistrate Wang, but he was also a 'top scorer in the college entrance examination', okay, and the last time County Magistrate Wang came to the door in person, everyone was quite happy, but today he was negligent and neglected, and poured a pot on Ye Chunqiu cold water.

But when County Magistrate Wang wanted to borrow time for Ye Chunqiu based on inspection and cooperation, Ye Chunqiu dismissed all the unhappiness.Shi Ping Kanhe is the certificate for the government to use post stations. With this certificate, you can rest at the post stations in various prefectures of Ming Dynasty. There is a certain distance between Fenghua and Ningbo, and there are two post stations on the way, just enough for Ye Chunqiu to rest.

It seems that County Magistrate Wang treats him fairly well, and it seems that something is really wrong.

Ye Chunqiu took the Kanhe wooden sign from the scribe. This sign was heavy, and he took it into his pocket very unceremoniously. The privilege of this era is very important, and it can save countless possible troubles.
