Chapter 226 The New Lord of Pingshan Seal (Part 2)

"Brother, brother!" As soon as he went out, the youngest brother who was aged suddenly ran over and asked in a low voice under Zhang Huan's gaze: "Brother, what is the imperial examination?"

Zhang Huan couldn't help but smile, stroked his younger brother's head, and replied softly: "The imperial examination is the place to take the exam. Why, my younger brother is also interested in the imperial examination?"

It was just a joke, but after hearing this, the little child nodded heavily and said seriously: "Yeah! I heard from people outside that if I pass the imperial examination, I can become an official, and I am a respected person! I will also take the imperial examination in the future! Be an official and respect my parents and brother!"

Speaking of this, he looked at the brothers and sisters who came over again, frowned and thought for a while, and added solemnly: "Okay, I'll support you guys too!"

This look immediately caused the audience to laugh.

Seeing that his parents and elder brother were looking at him with a smile, the old child suddenly felt uncomfortable, his face turned slightly red, and he immediately plunged into his mother's arms, and refused to come out without saying anything.

Everyone laughed again and let him go.

With this little episode, the atmosphere inside the house relaxed.

It was soon lunch time.

Zhang's mother went to the inner room to cook. After a while, she brought some flour buns and two wild vegetables. Although the dishes looked very light and green, they also made people feel a little appetite. She also brought out a large basin of noodles. The noodles were a little thin, but it was steaming and a faint fragrance filled the air. Speaking of which, this was a sumptuous meal, which could at least make people eat a full meal.

Zhang Huan felt a little sad when he looked at the food on the table. He knew that his mother would make some steamed buns from time to time in order to nourish his body, but at home, how could she still tolerate such luxury?

But it was my mother's wish, so I could only repay her with all my heart in the future!

Although the Zhang family is a wild family, the style of the family is still quite rigorous.

Before Zhang's father could speak, no one dared to move the dishes and chopsticks first.

Until Zhang's mother also sat down, Zhang's father said, "Eat."

So everyone started to eat.

You should not speak too much on the meal. This is a rule. Regardless of the common people in aristocratic families, most of them have this custom.

Of course, the brothers and the others are not talking about their heart-to-heart talks. They are not talking about their wine and meals.

After lunch, Zhang Huan helped his mother clean up, but instead of carrying firewood to sell it as usual, he brought some local specialties grown at home and walked to the teacher's house.

As soon as I left the house, I happened to meet Aunt Wang.

"Zhang Huan, are you going out?" Aunt Wang looked at the things he carried in his hand and asked.

"Yeah, yes, I'm going to visit my mentor." Zhang Huan said with a smile.

"Have your parents mentioned it? It's the imperial examination?" Aunt Wang said enthusiastically: "As soon as I heard about this, I went to your house when I came back. You are one of the few people in our village who can read and write words!"

"Are you planning to go to the imperial examination this time? If you have any difficulties, just tell me, my aunt and the villagers will think of a solution! If you really win the scholar, it will not only be a great event for the Zhang family, but also a great event for the entire village. No, it will be a great event for all the villages! I heard that if you win the scholar, you are all amazing people, and you don't have to kneel down to salute when you meet the county magistrate! There are not many scholars in Baiming County. If you really win, it would be amazing!"

Zhang Huan said, "Thank you, Aunt Wang! I heard from my parents about this. I want to see the world, but everything depends on the arrangements of my elders."

"It should be, it should be."

After the two chatted for a few minutes, Aunt Wang left in a hurry.

Zhang Huan carried the things and walked towards his mentor's house.

I heard people discussing this matter from time to time along the way. Although few ordinary people can read, this major event has always been the thing that the people like to talk about the most.

Legends like the Wenqu Star descending to earth and the reincarnation of the star can spread widely among the people, regardless of whether it is true or false. This is the reason.

When I arrived near my mentor's house, I found that some people were also discussing this matter.

This incident caused a great sensation among the people.

Along the way, Zhang Huanxin was ups and downs, thinking secretly in her heart, wondering if the teacher would agree to him take the exam.

In my opinion, I really want to try it. After studying for eight years, there is a saying that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, and he does have some talent to learn it. He spent his years here and he was unwilling to accept it.

The King of Chu had just pacified Jiangnan and was working on people. If he could take the imperial examination at this time, his future would be limitless.

However, I have little experience and have never left Baiming County and have not learned much about the outside world. At this time, I can only follow the teacher's opinions.

This teacher is fifty years old. He read some books when he was young, but he was not satisfied with his talent. Later, Dayan stopped the imperial examinations again. In no way, he returned to the mountain village and set up a private school in the village. His family was more wealthy in the nearby townships and would send their children to learn some words.

This person has a good character and teaches seriously. He is praised by the nearby attendants. He is considered a respected old man.

The husband's surname is Yu, and he has two sons at home. He is both a person who is a person who knows the words and writes. He works in the county town. Although he is not very rewarded and it is not difficult to support his family, he is not very interested in learning, which makes Mr. Yu feels not very happy.

Therefore, when Mr. Yu accepted Zhang Huan's apprentice, he was not a poor Qian Mi who had a small picture, but just because the child had a good reputation and was smart, he really wanted to teach him.

Zhang Huan respects Mr. Yu very much. He naturally feels how Mr. Yu treats him. This time, he naturally has to go to see the teacher and ask the teacher to make decisions about such a big deal.

When Zhang Huan came over, it was afternoon and the private school was still open.

Mr. Yu’s private school is just a few rooms, and it is very neatly repaired. There is a private school in front and a private courtyard in the back, which is very convenient.

At this time, Mr. Yu was holding a book in his hand, walking slowly in the private school, muttering something.

When listening to classes in private schools, most of them were half-aged children. The sound of reading aloud from the children kept coming out of it, and Zhang Huan outside was speechless.

Two years ago, he no longer came to a private school. First, he studied for a few years, and he could read books by himself. If he didn't understand, he saved some questions. He found some time to ask the teacher for advice. Second, he was the eldest son in the family. After his sister got married, he was the oldest in the family, so he would only share the worries of his parents.

At this time, Mr. Yu turned around and faced out the window, and saw Zhang Huan outside the window.

Mr. Yu nodded slightly to Zhang Huan, assigned homework to the children in the private school, and pushed the door open and walked out.

"Teacher." Zhang Huan hurried forward and saluted respectfully.

"You are not from a wealthy family, why bring something here again?" Mr. Yu said lightly after seeing what was in Zhang Huan's hand.

Zhang Huan replied hurriedly: "Teacher, it's just planted at home, and it doesn't cost much. Please ask the teacher to try it out."

Seeing this, Mr. Yu stopped saying anything more.

"Haha, I guess you got the news?" Mr. Yu was not surprised by his arrival. He stroked his beard and looked at Zhang Huan: "Even if you don't come to find me, I will go to find you. Let's go and talk there."

Mr. Yu pointed to the half-old pavilion in front of him.

"promise."

One after another, I went to the pavilion and looked at the farmhouse scenery in the distance. Mr. Yu turned his face and asked the boy beside him: "Since you are here, have you made a decision?"

"...I want to try it out, but I follow the teacher's instructions in everything." Zhang Huan said without thinking.

"Since you want to try it, then go there. It will take only ten days to stay. This time it won't work. I will study harder after I come back." Mr. Yu thought for a moment and said, "This is to agree to Zhang Huan's imperial examination.

Of course, the fundamental reason why Mr. Yu agreed was that he had been in chaos for decades and was the first to settle in Jiangnan. His literary style was withering, so it would not be difficult for the imperial examination.

Even at the level of the disciple, it is possible to pass the exam.

"Also, do you know the imperial examination matter?" Mr. Yu asked quickly.

Zhang Huan really didn't know about this, and shook his head in confusion: "Disciple doesn't know, please ask the teacher to teach me."

"It's not a question of whether to teach or not, I just heard more." At this point, Mr. Yu smiled bitterly.

Zhang Huan was suddenly silent and didn't know how to persuade the teacher to be relieved.

In fact, Mr. Yu has always had a heartache, but when he was young, he failed to show his ambitions and had to return, guard a mountain village, and be a private school teacher in this ten miles of townships.

"Well, let's talk about the imperial examination." Fortunately, this feeling was suppressed for a while. Mr. Yu raised his head and said to Zhang Huan seriously: "I have inquired. The King of Chu will hold the imperial examination this time and prepare for the March exam this year. First, it will be a county exam. You must go to the county exam. The one who passed the exam is a scholar."

"The March exam is released in April, and in August, I went to the provincial and provincial examinations again. This is the juren exam. I will go to the Jinling Palace to take the exam in March next year."

"I feel that with your understanding and the study over the past few years, if you don't talk about Juren and Jinshi, you will still have some hope to get a scholar."

When Mr. Yu was young, he also took the imperial examination and passed the scholar. Later, he failed the imperial examination. Based on his practical experience, he was a disciple who had his own level when he was young.

He just said again: "The exam not only depends on articles, but also on fate. I have bad luck and will not be able to pass the exam for life. It depends on your blessing."

This is a very normal thing. The imperial examination is originally limited. Thousands of people take the exam in a county, and only thirty people are the scholars. At this time, the people who competed are not only literary talents, but also many factors inside and outside the court. Not only those who are determined by internal orders, but everything else depends on luck.

"If you fight for the ink list in vain, you must believe that there is a red robe. Everything will be determined in advance, and the rise and fall will not be violated!" The more an expert you are, the more you believe in the fortune.

Thinking of this, Mr. Yu couldn't help but sigh.

Although he can't be angry or look at face value, he has read more books and can understand it.

He knew that ordinary children were originally weak in nature, so they tried to see if they were lucky.
