Chapter 84 84: Returning home in rich clothes, alarming the ancestors
(Continue to update, and continue to ask for subscription support!)
In court, Chen Jin was favored by Zhou Xuezheng and was appointed as the head of the case. Suddenly everyone looked sideways, and their eyes fell on Chen Jin, feeling surprised, envious, and confused...
Among the candidates for this year's college examination, Chen Jin has almost no sense of presence, let alone fame.
An unknown person suddenly became prominent in the examination room.
So the greatest possibility is that his article was appreciated by Zhou Xuezheng.
Regarding this poem "Linjiang Immortal", I have written it very well.
When Chen Jin recited, his cadences and enunciation were clear, and everyone could hear him clearly.
Especially the last two sentences: "The good wind, with its power, sends me to the blue clouds." They are really the finishing touch and are used extremely cleverly.
What makes people even more speechless is that this is an on-the-spot exam question. It is quite rare for ordinary people to write a qualified poem that does not go off topic.
Not to mention such a masterpiece?
Even if someone wants to raise questions, it is difficult to find the words.
You must know that during the boy examination, the examiner has the final say and can decide many things independently.
At this time, Zhou Xuezheng only gave Chen Jin a few gentle words of encouragement, which were very normal, and then asked him to step down.
This is also a common practice to avoid suspicion and avoid criticism.
"Okay, the case has been decided. After everyone has handed in their papers, they will leave the scene. Please don't make any noise."
An aide came out and announced loudly.
The candidates did not dare to stay and filed out. When passing by the courtyard of the Examination Institute, many people bowed to the statue of the saint and worshiped, and even knelt down to pay homage.
In exam halls and colleges, statues of relevant saints and gods will be erected for people to worship.
When entering, there will also be many people coming to worship, in order to seek blessings from the saint and gain fame.
However, Chen Jin had observed that the statue was just a rotten wood and had not been warmed and worshiped to produce divine light. It was probably because there was too little incense for worship.
After all, the entrance to the examination hall is locked and closed on a daily basis, and is only opened during exams.
After going outside, he was no longer so nervous and reserved. Chen Liang rushed over with excitement on his face: "A Jin, you were hit! Not only was he hit, but he was also the head of the case!"
In fact, in the boy's examination stage, including the provincial examination stage, if you win, you win, and the ranking does not play a big role, which is different from the Jinshi examination.
Jinshi subjects are divided into three categories, and the ranking is much more important.
However, in people's minds, the most talked about thing in daily life is arranging seats for people. When it comes to this aspect, everyone can talk eloquently and quote scriptures.
The fight for ranking can even turn red-faced.
Although those personnel rankings actually have nothing to do with me.
All in all, in people's minds, being a top scholar in the examination is completely different from being a scholar in the examination.
Chen Liang's excitement, although somewhat exaggerated, can be regarded as an expression of emotion.
At the same time, many other students came over and greeted them warmly, making them familiar with each other.
Chen Jin is young, has passed the college entrance examination, and has been appreciated by the academic officials. He has a bright future.
In this flattering and flattering atmosphere, Chen Jin felt as calm as water. However, when you listen to it more often, distracting thoughts will eventually arise, making you feel as if you are drifting off.
The world of mortals is dyed in a vat, and the world's sophistication is really all-pervasive.
He was calm and did not resist, just like washing his feet with water.
Taking the exam this time is partly due to the scholar's obsession; on the other hand, it is to experience something, to do something that has never been done before, or to gain something.
After returning to Qingyun Inn, the well-informed store owner immediately announced in public that Chen Jin would be exempted from all expenses for staying in the hotel.
Not only that, the shopkeeper also brought a plate of silver very sincerely, which seemed to be about twenty or thirty taels.
and the Four Treasures of the Study.
Chen Jin was invited to write the words "Linjiang Immortal" in handwriting on the screen wall on the first floor of the inn.
The pen was richly polished, so Chen Jin did not refuse and started writing it, which won a lot of applause.
Not to mention the excitement.
Chen Jin won the case and gained fame, but Chen Liang and the others still had to wait for the results to be announced. After helping Chen Jin celebrate, everyone was still uneasy.
You don’t have to wait too long for the college examination list to be announced. The list will be posted on the outside wall of the examination hall the next day.
Everyone gathered there early and waited eagerly. When the list comes out, those who are on the list are happy; those who are not on the list are sad.
Joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are all here.
"I got it, I got it!"
Chen Liang couldn't believe his eyes. He rubbed it and looked at it several times before finally confirming it. He rushed back and shared the good news with Chen Jin, not forgetting to thank Chen Jin for the two slaps.
There is a Qionglin Banquet for Jinshi, and there is a Luming Banquet for those who passed the examination, but after the Boy Examination, there is no formal official banquet. It is mainly for the newly-minted scholars to organize their own meals to interact with each other and keep in touch with each other.
For them, in fact, they have already returned home and want to go home as soon as possible to tell their families about the joyful news that they have achieved academic status.
After ten years of being cold, no one asked, but once he became famous, he became famous all over the world.
That's the title on the Jinshi level gold list.
If a scholar passes the examination, the government will not send a special person to his home to announce the good news. It is not high enough.
After passing the examination as a scholar, even Chen Liang, who liked socializing and managing things, hurriedly called his coachman and hurried home.
"I got it! Hee, I got it..."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
In the carriage, Chen Liang couldn't help but be happy and couldn't sit still at all.
Snap!
There was a crisp sound, and Chen Jin was slapped for the third time.
He immediately became honest and stared at Chen Jin from head to toe. He suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "A Jin, do you know Zhou Xuezheng?"
"How do you say this?"
"I'm not saying that you can't get to the top of the case, I just think this matter is a bit strange... Well, how can I put it, I am self-aware, and the articles I write are not better than before, but I can pass the exam this time. I feel confused.”
Chen Jin smiled: "As you said, human feelings are the basis of articles. Maybe what you and I wrote just fits Zhou Xuezheng's views."
"Maybe."
Chen Liang still had doubts in his mind, because what he wrote this time was very conservative, had nothing to do with the new learning, and even went against it.
Is it possible that the information I heard is wrong, and that Mr. Zhou is not a figure of the new school at all, but a member of the old school?
Alas, never mind, just pass the exam.
When they returned to Chen Zexiang, the news that two scholars had passed the examination at the same time spread quickly, like a huge rock thrown into a lake, causing large waves.
Township head Chen Jiande was overjoyed and immediately announced that the whole township would hold a banquet to celebrate.
When the school teacher Chen Mingcheng heard the news, he was first shocked, then happy, and then felt a little incredible.
It would be understandable if only one person passed the exam, but both of them passed, and Chen Jin was still the leader of the case.
This is puzzling.
After all, teachers know the writing skills of their students.
Is it possible that the situation has changed in recent years and the trend has changed?
Then why don't you go out and take the exam again? Maybe you will pass the exam.
Although he was over sixty years old, when he was stimulated at this moment, he felt that he was old at heart.
Looking at the examination room, what does an old scholar in his sixties mean?
Those children in their seventies and eighties, with gray hair, are the benchmark...
Of course, Chen Mingcheng just wanted to think about it. After many years, it is not easy to be qualified to participate in the examination again.
When his nephew got the title of scholar, Chen Abu was so happy that he quickly killed chickens and ducks and prepared three animals, paper money, ingots and other items. He took Chen Jin to the ancestral hall to comfort his ancestors.
"Ajin, don't just stand there, come quickly, hold the incense and kneel down with me."
Chen Abu urged.
Chen Jin blinked: "Do you really want to worship?"
Chen Abu hurriedly said: "What do you mean by this? Worshiping the heaven and the earth to worship the ancestors is a matter of course. Hurry up, if you neglect it, the ancestor gods will not be happy."
"Well, that's good."
Chen Jin held three incense sticks in his hands, representing the three meanings of "heaven, earth and man", and then bowed.
The next moment, there was a crackling sound, and several of the God's Lord Cards enshrined on the altar fell to the ground for unknown reasons.
Seeing this bizarre scene, Chen Abu was shocked. He jumped up and exclaimed: "What, what is going on?"
