Chapter 81 81: Chen Jin, named "Youniao"
(With the name Mingzhi, readers will know that the author of this book is serious and has great ambitions. If you like it, please support it!)
In summer, the sun is shining brightly.
As soon as the donkey cart appeared on the country road, Wangcai rushed up from the hillside, jumped onto the shaft of the cart skillfully, stuck out his tongue and licked the uppers of his master's shoes.
Chen Jin reached out and touched the dog's head, feeling comfortable.
First drive back to your uncle's house.
Chen and Abu were overjoyed to see him back. Auntie Chen Li has a big belly. Counting the days, she was about to give birth.
Although I don’t know whether the baby is a boy or a girl, my whole mental outlook is filled with joy and hope.
Farmers in the countryside have always had low expectations for life. It is enough to have enough food, clothing, and two children.
Things developed far beyond expectations.
At the beginning, there was an unreal dreaming feeling, and I felt uneasy and worried about gains and losses. But slowly, I got used to it.
In the village, as his status changed, Chen Abu's temperament also changed, and he was no longer so dull. He is not very talkative, at least he talks a lot, mainly around his daughter Chen Min.
When they heard that Chen Min was at Yunshan Temple, where he had delicious food every day, practiced martial arts every day, and was diligent and motivated, the couple both showed happy smiles.
The last time, Yun Min took Yun Ning home, which completely dispelled Chen Abu's worries and confirmed that his daughter really worshiped the Master of Yunshan Temple as her teacher.
When the news spread, the whole village was excited, saying that a golden phoenix flew out of his house.
In the days that followed, the threshold of Chen Abu's home was almost broken, and there were various invitations, all of which invited him to be guests, to eat and drink.
However, Chen Abu had a simple heart and held it in check. He was not dizzy by the flattery and still worked hard and down-to-earth.
This is quite rare.
After a while, villagers came in an endless stream. They all came to see Chen Jin after hearing the news.
The eyes that looked at Chen Jin were full of curiosity and wonder, mixed with some kind of flattery.
It was all due to rumors in the countryside that the reason why Chen Min was able to enter Yunshan to observe and practice immortality was mainly due to Chen Jin's relationship.
Although I don’t know what kind of relationship it is, as long as there is a relationship, isn’t it okay?
In addition, the current Chen Jin, even though his clothes are still simple, his face is like a crown jewel, and he has a long body. Compared with before, he is completely different from before, and he looks like a noble prince.
Judging people by their appearance has always been the first impression of villagers, simple and true.
In the past, they always liked to make fun of Chen Jin. When they saw him, they would always shout, "Chen Shuchi, do you want a wife?"
Nowadays, I don't dare to say that anymore, it always feels a bit unworthy.
“It’s so lively!”
As they were talking, Chen Liang, who was wearing a long gown, came over and said, "What are you doing here? Let's all disperse."
As the son of a township chief and a scholar about to take the exam, his words still carry enough weight.
Moreover, the villagers are gathered here, you look at me, I look at you, they don’t know what to say, they can’t talk.
So they dispersed one after another.
After taking a look at Chen Jin, Chen Liang couldn't help but sigh: "Ajin, you went to Yunshan and lived in the Taoist temple for a while, and you were completely transformed. The land of the Immortal Family is really extraordinary."
He subconsciously believed that Chen Jin was like this because he ate well, slept well and took good care of himself in the Taoist temple.
Or maybe he took some secret recipe from the Immortal Family.
I feel very envious of this.
In comparison, Chen Liang was tall and thin, and because he was used to reading at night, his eyes were dull and gradually became cross-eyed.
The shape is not very beautiful.
In the Qian Dynasty, a person's appearance, especially for scholars, was very important. If you are not good-looking, no matter how good your articles and poems are, it will be difficult for you to gain fame. In the boy test, you may be rejected. There is no way, this is the reality.
Chen Jin didn't explain too much and just dealt with it casually.
Chen Liang added: "I have been very anxious these past few days, for fear that you would not be able to come back in time to take the college examination. Now it is just right, let's go to the teacher together and get the certificate."
In the boy's examination stage, candidates do not just go to the examination casually. They must have proof of identity and a guarantee certificate in advance.
As for the form of guarantee, you can unite five children to guarantee each other, which is called the "Five Children's Knot"; you can also ask talented and famous people to sign the guarantee.
Chen Mingcheng, a private school teacher in the village, is an old scholar and is the most suitable person to serve as a guarantor.
In last year's exam, Chen Jin and the others asked the teacher to sign their names.
"Okay."
Chen Jin responded and went to the clan school with Chen Liang.
Chen Mingcheng was in the hall. When he saw the two people arriving, he walked out: "Ajin, you are really a busy man now. You are running around and rarely at home. This time, I thought you would not take the exam. ”
Chen Jin answered vaguely: "After the Chinese New Year, I went on a study tour. As the saying goes: read thousands of books and walk thousands of miles. You will gain insights."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Chen Mingcheng nodded slightly: "It's actually not bad to go out for a walk. But don't waste your homework on essays. At your age, you passed the child test last year. You have talents, so don't miss your future."
Chen Liang was listening next to him, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, feeling a little uncomfortable.
But I also understand this teacher’s temperament, he is a square and stubborn person. He failed the exams many times, and it was not until he was in his 60s that he had to give up the path to fame in the imperial examinations. In his heart, he really hoped that one of his students could pass the exams.
Looking at the students of Ethnology, Chen Jin is the one who best meets Chen Mingcheng's expectations. So at that time, I would take care of Chen Jin from time to time, run a small stove and so on.
Now, seeing that the college examination was coming, Chen Jin was still wandering around outside, and Chen Mingcheng couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
As for the relationship between Chen Jin and Yunshan Guan, that is not the way for scholars.
Could it be that Chen Jin still wants to cultivate immortality and learn Taoism?
What a joke.
The so-called myths about gods are all illusory.
When reading the books of sages, you should respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them.
Fortunately, Chen Jin finally came back.
At that moment Wen Yan asked: "Ajin, you are about to reach the crown."
Chen Jin replied: "After August."
Chen Mingcheng then asked: "Very good. When it comes to choosing the word for crown, do you have the word in mind?"
Chen Jin's eyes suddenly showed a trace of nostalgia: "Yes."
"Oh, what's the word?"
The old scholar felt a little disappointed. He originally thought that he would be a tutor and pick the words for the students, and he would do his job. Unexpectedly, the student had his own opinion.
Chen Jin opened his mouth and said two words: "There are birds."
Chen Liang: "..."
Chen Mingcheng: "..."
Is this word serious?
Chen Mingcheng asked in astonishment: "Ah Jin, why do you choose the word so strangely? Is there any allusion to it?"
Chen Jin smiled and said: "I once read an ancient text called "Xiaoyao Xu Jing". There is a poem in it that goes like this: 'There are birds, and there are birds with great power. They have been home for thousands of years and have not returned yet; the city remains the same and the people are not the same. , why not learn from Xian Zhong Lei Lei? I liked it very much, so I used it. ”
