With no distractions, time passed in the blink of an eye, and Ji Xuan and Pan Hongli are about to usher in Qiu Wei.
The township examination will last for nine days. During these nine days, the examinees have to settle in the Gongyuan for all their meals, and the Gongyuan provides bedding for sleeping at night.Ji Xuanhe looked at the bedding in the test house with inexplicable eyes.It's not that he can't accept it. He has encountered many times in the last days that are much worse than this. It's just that he has lived a good life in Jin Dynasty for a long time, and he suddenly feels a little uncomfortable.
I don't know how many people have used these quilts, so it's okay if he doesn't want to. When he thinks about it, he thinks about the meals provided by the Gongyuan.This is different from lodging and dining in inns and restaurants. Stores pay attention to reputation, and the enjoyment they get varies according to different consumption levels, but at least customers can choose by themselves.None of the stores that Ji Xuanhe has ever entered was unclean and tidy, even if it was a roadside stall, other places may not be very particular, at least the dishes and chopsticks are clean.
These thoughts flashed through Ji Xuanhe's mind, and he put them on the shelf.The exam questions were announced soon, and Ji Xuanhe was busy answering the questions, so he didn't have time to pay attention to these trivial matters.
Taking the test for one day and taking the test for three days in a row feels very different.The Tribute Academy will not open again until the afternoon of the third day is close to dusk. Candidates will have to wait until that time regardless of whether they finish the exam in advance.It’s fine if you keep answering the papers. If you have something to do, the time will pass by in a flash.If you finish writing ahead of time, you can only check it over and over again, otherwise you will have nothing to do when you are idle.
It took Ji Xuanhe two and a half days to answer all the questions, and there was nothing to do for the remaining half a day, so he simply leaned on his head and sank his mind into the writing system.
During this period of time, Ji Xuan used the saved manuscripts most of the time. After a few months, there were not many saved manuscripts. Now that he is free, he just uses them for coding.Ji Xuanhe is writing a long novel, which is expected to be no less than 500 million words.According to the frequency at which he updates a chapter every day, he can't finish writing every five or six years.
Ji Xuanhe was ready to code, but when he remembered that there were still two exams to come, he gave up again.Instead, he started to read novels. Exams were too stressful, and the code words were the same. He still let his mind rest for a while.
If you sink your mind into the writing system, your body outside will appear sluggish. Ji Xuanhe only does this after going to bed at home, otherwise it will be easy to be noticed.It's the same this time, it is precisely because of this that Ji Xuanhe had to block it with his hands, and the invigilator would only think that he was thinking when he walked by.
Even so, Ji Xuanhe would go out of the system to take a look at it every once in a while, and change his body position before continuing.
One exam after another, three exams in a row, even a person like Ji Xuanhe, who has been training all year round, can't stand it, and those frail scholars can imagine.
According to Qiu Cheng, who was waiting outside the Gongyuan in advance, people were carried out on the third day of each game, and those people burst into tears when they woke up.On this point, no one laughs at these talents.How many three years can a person have in a lifetime?If you miss this time, you have to come back three years later. This time, your body can't bear it. Who can say that you will be safe next time?
Ji Xuanhe returned to Ji's mansion and took a good night's sleep.Thanks to his good foundation, he regained his spirits the next day.
Ji Xuanhe lives in Jifu, and meals are provided by the big kitchen.No matter how much the eldest lady doesn't want to see Ji Xuanhe, in order not to lose her reputation, she will not deduct him from meals.After all, there is not only one big house and one room in the Ji Mansion, the other rooms are watching.Where it is incomplete, it loses the face of their elders, and the sisters-in-law are not all easy to get along with.
The second room is fine, the third room and the third master are promising, and the third wife will follow suit. If the eldest lady can't handle the family well, the third wife won't mind taking over the housekeeping power.
Heyuan has a small kitchen, which is thanks to Ji Xuanhe's poor health.The servings of Ji Xuan and his husband are all according to the specifications of the young master of Ji's mansion. The food is very delicate, better than what they eat at home, Ji Xuan and Zi are not dissatisfied.
As Shao Yunchen's uncle, Pan Mingjie is also an in-law of the Ji family, so his status is not low.Most of the time, the small kitchen was left unused, only when Shao Yunchen ordered it, Mama Duan would stew some supplements, make some snacks and so on.
Waiting for the opening of the list, Shao Yunchen informed Ji Xuanhe of the news he had learned one by one.
Of the four young ladies of the Ji Mansion, only two descendants entered the primary election.The two concubine girls who were not selected were locked in their respective courtyards, and they couldn't leave the courtyard at leisure, so as not to make troubles when they had time, and their aunts were also well noticed.
Da Furen's move to prepare for a rainy day has saved a lot of trouble, and the Ji Mansion has not caused any trouble because of it.
The number of clansmen who lived in the Jifu and took the rural examination was only a lot more than when they took the college examination last time, but the rate of passing the examination was greatly reduced.
Just like last time, Ji Xuanhui still hit the mark with one fell swoop, and the second wife laughed so hard that she didn't even know her teeth were showing.At such a time, the mothers and maids would not go forward to remind the master that this is a rare happy event for the second wife, and they are too late to be happy, so why would they mind the slight inappropriate behavior of the master?
Ji Xuanhui ranked high, and the good news has arrived, but the people who were sent out to read the rankings have not yet returned home.
He and the people in the garden waited for a long time for no news, and the whole courtyard was quiet.Especially those servants of the Ji Mansion, they dare not make any noise at such a time, for fear of offending their master.No matter what, Ji Xuanhe is the young master of the Ji Mansion, and they are not the low-level servant girls who can offend.
Before the exam, Ji Xuanhe was still a little worried, but now he saw that everyone including Shao Yunchen looked restless, so he comforted him: "Uncle, cousin, Shen Qing and the others haven't come back yet. , why do you doubt yourself first?"
Pan Mingjie and his son don't know this truth, they just know that they know it. When they really face it, whether they can adjust their mentality is not something that can be calculated by themselves.It's like when you know you can't be nervous during an exam, but you can still be nervous when you shouldn't be nervous, especially when it's about your own future. Does it mean that you can relax just by relaxing?
However, with Ji Xuanhe's opening, the atmosphere in the hall was not as solemn as before.
Waiting and waiting, waiting until everyone's enthusiasm was almost gone, Shen Qingqing and Qinglan came back after a long time.
"Master, both you and Master Biao won, but the rankings are very low." As soon as Shen Qing stepped into the hall, before he could catch his breath, he reported the good news first.
"Really?" Pan Mingjie and his son were the most excited. Whether the Pan family can make a comeback depends entirely on Pan Hongli.
"Master, it's true. The two servants read it several times, and came back to report the letter after being convinced that it was correct. Judging by the appearance of the master, the good news has not yet arrived, and it is estimated that it will arrive soon." Qinglan was still amazed at the scene of the people next to each other after the experience of the list.He and Shen Qing took great effort to squeeze in, otherwise they wouldn't have made the masters wait for so long.
"Good, good, good!" Pan Mingjie was emotional, but he only said three words of "good", his mouth was tight, and he didn't say anything else.
When Pan Hongli heard the news, his eyes were slightly red. He knew that his talent for writing was not very good. Some of it was tutored by a famous teacher and he worked hard day and night. When he was in Rongjin Town, he was also doing accounts while reviewing homework. Otherwise, he wouldn't have achieved what he is today.
After hearing this, Ji Xuanhe let out a sigh of relief. His idea was very simple, and he finally didn't need to take the exam anymore.I believe that few people who have experienced pre-examination review and took the college entrance examination want to experience it again.
Feeling that Shao Yunchen suddenly grabbed his hand and pulled it very tightly, Ji Xuanhe patted it lightly, regardless of the fact that there were still many people around him, the two interlocked their fingers and returned a warm smile.
Ji Xuanhe is not a serious person, but he doesn't smile much. He is usually not serious, but he looks at him with a slight sense of alienation, as if there is a film in between.Shao Yunchen felt this kind of feeling the most. He was the closest person to Ji Xuanhe. The indifference and alienation was not aimed at him, but more like he had experienced the vicissitudes of life. These had been engraved into Ji Xuanhe's bones.
Ji Xuanhe laughed, and this sense of alienation disappeared instantly, as if a strong wind had blown away the dark clouds.Especially such a warm and harmonious smile made Ji Xuanhe look very harmless and easy to get close to.
Shao Yunchen didn't see such a smile many times. Most of the time, Ji Xuanhe's smile was either shallow or exaggerated. cherish.At this moment, Shao Yunchen could no longer notice anyone else, only Ji Xuanhe was left in his eyes.
Shao Yunchen knows Ji Xuanhe well.When he first got married, he also complained and hated. He knew that from that moment on, his life took a turn, and his future was no longer as bright as before, and he would probably stay in a small back house in the future. , in order to live a more stable and comfortable life for himself, and try his best to cater to his husband.
But nothing like this happened after that. He was free to go out and take care of things outside. Apart from the regret of not being able to become an official, his life was really good.Ji Xuanhe respected him and would not force him. What is even more commendable is that he has no idea of taking a concubine.
In fact, from the very beginning of marriage, Shao Yunchen was ready for a husband with three wives and four concubines. After all, there are three types of unfilial piety, and the greatest thing is to have no offspring. Not many people have the courage to not have offspring.
The sound of firecrackers at the gate of Wenfu brought back Shao Yunchen's thoughts, and then the servant led the two officials into the peace garden.When everyone looked at the posture, they knew that it was an official messenger with good news.After the notification, Jimo Qiucheng hurried forward to make arrangements.
After the official left, there was joy in Heyuan, and even the servants of Ji's mansion who were serving in Heyuan were happy.
I don't know if Ji's mansion is very lucky this year, not only Ji Xuan and them, but even two of the borrowed clansmen won the election.This kind of situation is extremely rare. If the rural examination were really so simple, there would not be so many scholars who were depressed all their lives.
Now that you have won Juren, interpersonal communication is very important.There are gains and losses, Ji Xuan and Pan Hongli have no classmates, only the same year in the same subject, as for the teacher, let's forget it, the two of them have lower grades, no one will look at them.
Five Juren came out of the Ji Mansion at once, although only Ji Xuanhui and Ji Xuanhe were from the Ji Mansion, that was a great joy.After winning the exam, whether it is to become an official or continue to take the entrance examination, it is a good way.With the backing of Jifu, it is not too difficult for someone to become an official.The third lord of the Ji Mansion is not a high-ranking official, but the Ji Mansion has a profound background.
Although the third master of Jifu is only a fifth-rank local official, he is also in charge of a state, and has considerable power in the local area.
The old man Ji is in a good mood today. Not only two grandsons in the family have passed the examination, but even two of their relatives have passed the examination.Over the years, among the five sons, only the eldest son and the third son have successfully embarked on official careers. He has been waiting for this day for a long time.
Before he left, Mrs. Ji made the decision to entertain the clansmen in Yunzhou Prefecture, and by the way, invite all the acquaintances and friends of the people in the residence.
After getting the news from Mrs. Ji, Ji Xuan and Pan Hongli were a little embarrassed. Are they friends?Where can they find it?
As soon as this thought flashed across, Ji Xuanhe thought of Gu Shengyue and Meng Lu.After the hospital examination, he barely interacted with the two of them, but Old Master Zhen kept in touch with them.This time the two must have also participated in the provincial examination, but it is not known whether the two passed the exam.
Ji Xuanhe told Pan Hongli what he meant, and Pan Hongli suddenly felt that this method was very good, and the two sent all the servants out to search for people.There are only a few inns near the Gongyuan, Gu Shengyue's family is good, as long as he doesn't come late, he should stay in these inns.Even if they are not there, it is not difficult to find them.Gu Shengyue, Meng Lu, and Ji Xuan are different from them. They have many classmates, and they can always meet someone who knows them.
Several people in Jimo were ordered to leave.
As expected by Ji Xuanhe, Gu Shengyue really stayed in the inn near the Gongyuan, while Meng Lu lived farther away.Although there were many candidates, not many remained in Yunzhou Prefecture.There were no winners, and many people packed their bags and set foot on the way home when they came out of the list.As a result, there were not many candidates left, and it was much easier for Jimo and the others to find someone.
Gu Shengyue and Meng Lu happened to be two people, and Ji Xuanhe and Pan Hongli each invited one.The two held the invitation in their hands and carefully put it away.The Ji Mansion may not be visible in the capital, but in the eyes of Gu Shengyue and Meng Lu, it is already the most powerful family of noble officials they can come into contact with.One of the two was from a merchant, the other was just an ordinary citizen, and most of their acquaintances and friends were from the same background. How could there ever be such a good opportunity?
If the opportunity is not seized, Gu Shengyue and Meng Lu will definitely regret it.The two got together to discuss and agreed to go to the Ji Mansion as guests at that time.Seeing Meng Lu's shabby clothes, Gu Sheng offered to lend him money to buy a cotton overshirt.Gu Shengyue was born in a businessman and had a smooth temper. He would never say that he would pay for a piece of clothing for Meng Lu. It would look like a handout, and Meng Lu would probably not accept it.Scholars tend to be a bit high-minded, especially those from poor families, who have a strong sense of self-esteem. It is easy to offend people if they do so rashly in a situation they are not too familiar with.
Meng Lu was not that pedantic person either, he accepted Gu Shengyue's kindness after a moment of surprise.What Gu Shengyue proposed was cotton clothes instead of silk and satin, which is enough to show that this person has a delicate mind, and he is not someone who ignores other people's feelings, so he can be friends with.
Ji Xuanhe received a reply from Gu Shengyue and Meng Lu, and they will come on time on the day of the banquet in Ji's mansion.After that, he stayed in Heyuan all the time and didn't go out to meet friends, because he had no friends at all except Gu Shengyue and Meng Lu.
The family members of Ji's mansion in Yunzhou Fucheng are not many, but there are quite a few. In addition to the students invited by Ji Xuanhui and others, the number of them is quite considerable.
Mrs. Ji was of a high seniority, so the second master of Ji's mansion came forward to introduce the five new recruits to the clansmen present, and then let a few of them go back to sit and chat with the students.
Ji Xuan sat at the same table with a group of four, and there were four other people beside him.No matter how you say it, Ji Xuanhe is also the grandson of Mrs. Ji, even if the family is separated, he is still a part of Ji's mansion, and this table will be served by him as the master.
None of the people present were very old, and the oldest one was standing close to him.Young people get together, drink and eat, and after a meal, they can be regarded as familiar.
Ji Xuanhe was the youngest person at the table, and he was the host. The others didn't drink for him, but let him do whatever he wanted.Ji Xuanhe accepted their kindness and only took a few sips occasionally.After coming to Jinchao, Ji Xuanhe usually only drank a little fruit wine because of his young age, and he didn't even have much chance to touch fruit wine.Shao Yunchen looked at him, he was too young, drinking too early could easily hurt his health.
The banquet at Ji's family was a luncheon, and after the banquet was over, the members of the Ji family left, as did Mrs. Ji and the others, leaving only Ji Xuan and their students to communicate with each other.
Jinchao banquets are mostly dinners, so the arrangement of the Ji Mansion is to allow time for Ji Xuan and his students to get to know each other and broaden their contacts.
Ji Xuanhe is not a person who pretends to be noble, he is also somewhat interested in what the students can talk about with each other.He won't keep silent if he can talk, and he won't force himself to talk to someone who can't talk.
After one afternoon, Ji Xuanhe also met some people, of course they were just acquaintances.His family is in Kangping County, and he shouldn't have many interactions with these people in the future, so that's enough.
The next day was the Lu Ming Banquet, which was the first time that Ji Xuan and Pan Hongli had really stepped into the Juren world.
Ji Xuanhe was at the bottom of the list and accompanied him in the bottom seat, Pan Hongli was in a similar seat to him, and Gu Shengyue and Meng Lu were far ahead.
The Luming Banquet hosted the new imperial examination candidates, and there were quite a few of them, but it was very lively.Because of the presence of officials, none of the contestants dared to make mistakes, and after a banquet of deer crowing, it was considered a joy for both guests and hosts.
Ji Xuanhe was young and ranked low, so he didn't talk to him much.At Ji Xuanhe's age, it is unlikely that he will become an official now, and if he continues to take the entrance examination, the chance of being selected is very low.People are very realistic, how many contestants are there at the Luming Banquet?It is impossible to know everyone, so I have to choose.
Ji Xuanhe didn't go with Pan Hongli. At this time, he had to get to know more people. It's not good for the two of them to be together.
The next day after the Lu Ming Banquet, Ji Xuanhe bid farewell to Mrs. Ji. Mrs. Ji asked about his future plans, and Ji Xuanhe told the truth.He doesn't plan to take the Jinshi exam anymore. The chances of passing the exam are really low. After two or three years, he will get older and probably find an official position.
The old man Ji rested his hand on his beard, fell into deep thought, and then asked, "Are you sure?"
"Well, if nothing unexpected happens."
"Okay, I got it. You will let me know in advance when the time comes. I'll use my connections to find you a magistrate in a small place. It's not too difficult." After finishing speaking, Old Master Ji didn't stay with Ji Xuanhe any longer and let him do it on his own. leave.
Pan Hongli is also ranked at the bottom of the crane, he knows himself, he does not plan to participate in next year's Spring Festival.He ranked at the bottom of the township examination, and the general examination is only half a year away. If he can pass the Jinshi examination like this, it is estimated that the ancestral grave will really be smoked.
Pan Hongli is not young anymore, and he will lose the crown next year. His mother is already looking for a wife for him, and it's time to start a family.After getting married, although you can concentrate on your studies, it is different from before. You can't leave your daughter-in-law at home and ignore it, right?
After some deliberation, Pan Hongli informed Pan Mingjie of his thoughts: "Father, with my current knowledge, the chances of winning next year's spring are really slim. During the first general examination, I was only three out of [-], and it was very difficult to pass the exam in one go. I thought it would be a good idea to make some connections during this period to see if I could find an official position. The county magistrate is a bit difficult, but the county magistrate is still possible."
Jin Chao was able to become an official since he was a scholar, but it was only possible after he was directly recommended to the Imperial Academy through special channels.There are many people who raise people to become officials, but if you start to become an official, not only the initial official position is not high, but it is also difficult to get promoted, and if there is no one to manage it, it is difficult to even find the county magistrate.
The reason why Pan Hongli dared to say that was also because he was not from a poor family. No matter what, the Pan family had one or two in-laws to borrow.In the past, when there were no successors in the Pan family, they might just stand by and watch, but now it's different. With Pan Hongli's reputation as a man-raiser, the Pan family has hope to stand up again. It's not those who wait for kindness to repay their revenge, they can get their own rewards.
In addition, Pan Hongli can also rely on his cousin's family.Pan's family and Ji's family are relatives by marriage. His family has a good relationship with his cousin, and he is also very close to Ji's family. But it is not comparable to ordinary in-laws.
Pan Hongli didn't live and live for free, it was not feasible to give money directly, not only Shao Yunchen, but even Ji Xuanhe would not accept it.Knowing this, the Pan family will send some things that the Ji family also needs to buy from time to time. Maybe the money is not enough to offset Pan Hongli's spending at the Ji family, but Ji Xuan and his wife have received this kindness.
Pan Mingjie hoped that his son would continue to take the entrance examination, but he was relieved just thinking about himself.He is almost old, except for the years in Rongjin Town, it can be said that he has not missed a college examination, but what is the result, is he not even a scholar?
It is not uncommon for those like him to be good, and it is not uncommon for those poor children to drag down a family because of one person's imperial examination.He knew his son was a responsible person.When they were in Rongjin Town, his family gritted their teeth, and it was much easier to provide for a student than for a poor family.But Pan Hongli was not so selfish, he was working as an accountant, and at the same time he did not forget to study.It was he who delayed his son, and his knowledge was enough to enlighten beginners, and it would not work any further.
Pan Mingjie couldn't help but rejoice, if his family wasn't close to his nephew back then, and he didn't think about reconnecting with his nephew, it is estimated that their family is still in Rongjin Town, and it would be difficult for him to see the family prosper in his life.
Knowing his son's temperament, Pan Mingjie did not force Pan Hongli to continue taking the Jinshi examination. His future path depends on his own luck. If he can find an official position in more than three years, he will directly enter the official position as a recruiter. Just continue to work hard on the road to the imperial examination.
Zhongju is a big event, Yangjiabu may not be able to produce one in more than ten years, even if Ji Xuanhe doesn't have much contact with the villagers of Yangjiabu, this banquet cannot be avoided.
Kangping County is a big county, there is no shortage of candidates, and it is not so enthusiastic about the new imperial examination candidates. Besides, Ji Xuanhe ranks low, and there are not many door-to-door contacts.Ji Xuanhe ended up in peace, which was exactly what he wanted.
As soon as Ji Xuanhe returned to Yangjiabu, he passed the news of his winning to Wen Zhuocheng, and by the way, informed the old man of Wenfu.Since entering Wenfu last year, Ji Xuanhe could no longer ignore his grandfather and the others.
Wen Zhuocheng looked at the letter in his hand and smiled happily. He was really happy for this nephew.Ji Xuanhe did not hide it, and informed his second uncle of his plan.Wen Zhuocheng thought that his nephew would be about the same age in the next year or so. Although he was still a little young, there were many precedents to prove it. Others would have to think carefully if they wanted to use the excuse that the nephew was not old enough to suppress others.
From the moment Ji Xuanhe was admitted to Juren and officially decided to take an official career, Wen Zhuocheng began to tell him all the ways he knew in the officialdom and various related news.
Apart from the second uncle, Ji Xuanhe also has Old Master Zhen by his side.Old Master Zhen is not only knowledgeable, he also has personal experience in officialdom, and has his own way of being an official.
Old Master Zhen is both happy and entangled in Ji Xuanhe's career. His original intention was to return to Kangping County to retire, but Lin Lao took in two disciples and one named disciple. Once Ji Xuanhe seeks an official position, wouldn't he want it? Take office?It doesn't matter if you don't follow. It didn't matter before. After being taken care of by someone around here often, if you want him to live alone again, he may find it difficult to adapt.At the time when his wife and children were gone, let alone the pain he felt during that time, he didn't want to go through it again.
Forget it, it's too early to say anything about it, it will take a year and a half for Ji Xuanhe to be an official, let's talk about it then.Old Master Zhen no longer entangled with this, and happily went out to chat with the old men.
When everything returns to calm, the day of the draft has arrived.
This draft has changed the previous rules, and now I have only selected a few outstanding women, most of the outstanding men and women are prepared for the clan and officials, even wealthy businessmen are not left behind.
After the actions of the Holy Majesty, the in-law relationship network among the upper echelons of the Jin Dynasty became more complicated.Caught off guard, many courtiers were disrupted from their previous layout.
Originally, he planned to marry his daughter and granddaughter to this family, but the emperor ordered her to marry to that family.This is not over yet, if a legitimate son is selected in the family, it is even more of a lawsuit.Concubine sons and concubine sons are taught differently. It is okay to say that the family chooses to marry a concubine son, but more often it is directly stated that one must be born, and it is not possible to use concubine sons to make up the number.
Originally, they didn't intend to let the sons-in-law get married, so they naturally trained them to serve the family. They should be young if they can be selected as the best men. If so, they know a lot.Once they entered a mansion that wasn't in their own plan, they would be reluctant to abandon it. It would not be easy to deepen ties with these families that had little relationship with them in the past. These families were really in a dilemma.
Not only is it difficult for families with married children, but also for those families that have adopted them.Fortunately, the Holy Majesty has not yet reached the level of madness, and did not allow the two families who are obviously rivals to marry by marriage, otherwise those people can only become the outcasts of the family, and it is difficult to have a second way out.
With just one move, the Holy Majesty disrupted the forces on the chessboard, and it would take a lot of time to restore order.He's not dead yet, how can he allow his sons to form cliques and covet the throne?He knew that he was not in good health, but before going down to accompany his ancestors, he still wanted to live in peace, but he didn't want to be pulled down from the throne by his sons.As for who can take over after he left, then he doesn't care, and he can't control it.The sons are too good, and sometimes it is not a good thing.
The Jin Dynasty had no sons in the middle palace, and Emperor Rentai did not appoint a prince.In the past dynasties, it can be said that there are very few people who ascended the throne as the prince.
Old Master Ji looked at the news on the paper with a solemn expression.The eldest granddaughter entered the Third Prince's Mansion, but she was just a concubine, that's all, there was also a daughter in the Ji Mansion in the capital who entered the Prince's Mansion, but she was the First Prince's Mansion, and she was also a side concubine. What kind of trouble is this going to cause?
Forget it, it's over, and no one can predict what will happen in the future. Mrs. Ji didn't intend to support his eldest granddaughter, but he was also unwilling to go along with the Jifu in the capital. The situation is okay now, and he doesn't want to immediately cut off his eldest granddaughter's way out. .
Since Ji Xuanhe couldn't get the news immediately, it took him a while to find out.
Ji Xuanhe doesn't know what his eldest sister thinks, some people yearn for a luxurious life, even if she is a concubine, she is happy, and she is very motivated to fight for it, and is bound to fight for a career in the sky, while some people don't want to be a concubine, Because of their status, they can only marry at a low price, and they don't regret it.
Whether you like it or not, in this Jin Dynasty where the imperial power is supreme, everything is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed. The beautiful men and women can only accept it happily, and the family is no different.
After the rural examination, Ji Xuanhe returned to his old life.In the morning, Old Master Zhen's class was changed, and it was more about talking about the affairs of the officialdom. Pan Hongli had a need for this, so he went to class together.Ji Xuanhe didn't let Shao Yunchen avoid him. Although he can't be an official, he can discuss with his husband in private, and it's okay to come up with ideas.
In this regard, Old Master Zhen is very satisfied. Among Ji Xuan and the three of them, the one with the best aptitude is Shao Yunchen. It was a pity for Old Master Zhen back then.With Shao Yunchen by his side, Ji Xuanhe's future journey will be smoother.
In Ji Xuanhe's spare time, what he reads the most is the topography of various prefectures. Knowing more will only benefit him and not harm him in the future.
Since opening a shop in the capital city last year, Ji Xuanhe has not expanded the family business. Now Ji's family has a net income of more than 1000 taels a year. After deducting the family's expenses, they can save a lot of money.Keep these for backup, there will be a lot of places to use money in the future, and it will be impossible if you don't have money on hand.
The township examination will last for nine days. During these nine days, the examinees have to settle in the Gongyuan for all their meals, and the Gongyuan provides bedding for sleeping at night.Ji Xuanhe looked at the bedding in the test house with inexplicable eyes.It's not that he can't accept it. He has encountered many times in the last days that are much worse than this. It's just that he has lived a good life in Jin Dynasty for a long time, and he suddenly feels a little uncomfortable.
I don't know how many people have used these quilts, so it's okay if he doesn't want to. When he thinks about it, he thinks about the meals provided by the Gongyuan.This is different from lodging and dining in inns and restaurants. Stores pay attention to reputation, and the enjoyment they get varies according to different consumption levels, but at least customers can choose by themselves.None of the stores that Ji Xuanhe has ever entered was unclean and tidy, even if it was a roadside stall, other places may not be very particular, at least the dishes and chopsticks are clean.
These thoughts flashed through Ji Xuanhe's mind, and he put them on the shelf.The exam questions were announced soon, and Ji Xuanhe was busy answering the questions, so he didn't have time to pay attention to these trivial matters.
Taking the test for one day and taking the test for three days in a row feels very different.The Tribute Academy will not open again until the afternoon of the third day is close to dusk. Candidates will have to wait until that time regardless of whether they finish the exam in advance.It’s fine if you keep answering the papers. If you have something to do, the time will pass by in a flash.If you finish writing ahead of time, you can only check it over and over again, otherwise you will have nothing to do when you are idle.
It took Ji Xuanhe two and a half days to answer all the questions, and there was nothing to do for the remaining half a day, so he simply leaned on his head and sank his mind into the writing system.
During this period of time, Ji Xuan used the saved manuscripts most of the time. After a few months, there were not many saved manuscripts. Now that he is free, he just uses them for coding.Ji Xuanhe is writing a long novel, which is expected to be no less than 500 million words.According to the frequency at which he updates a chapter every day, he can't finish writing every five or six years.
Ji Xuanhe was ready to code, but when he remembered that there were still two exams to come, he gave up again.Instead, he started to read novels. Exams were too stressful, and the code words were the same. He still let his mind rest for a while.
If you sink your mind into the writing system, your body outside will appear sluggish. Ji Xuanhe only does this after going to bed at home, otherwise it will be easy to be noticed.It's the same this time, it is precisely because of this that Ji Xuanhe had to block it with his hands, and the invigilator would only think that he was thinking when he walked by.
Even so, Ji Xuanhe would go out of the system to take a look at it every once in a while, and change his body position before continuing.
One exam after another, three exams in a row, even a person like Ji Xuanhe, who has been training all year round, can't stand it, and those frail scholars can imagine.
According to Qiu Cheng, who was waiting outside the Gongyuan in advance, people were carried out on the third day of each game, and those people burst into tears when they woke up.On this point, no one laughs at these talents.How many three years can a person have in a lifetime?If you miss this time, you have to come back three years later. This time, your body can't bear it. Who can say that you will be safe next time?
Ji Xuanhe returned to Ji's mansion and took a good night's sleep.Thanks to his good foundation, he regained his spirits the next day.
Ji Xuanhe lives in Jifu, and meals are provided by the big kitchen.No matter how much the eldest lady doesn't want to see Ji Xuanhe, in order not to lose her reputation, she will not deduct him from meals.After all, there is not only one big house and one room in the Ji Mansion, the other rooms are watching.Where it is incomplete, it loses the face of their elders, and the sisters-in-law are not all easy to get along with.
The second room is fine, the third room and the third master are promising, and the third wife will follow suit. If the eldest lady can't handle the family well, the third wife won't mind taking over the housekeeping power.
Heyuan has a small kitchen, which is thanks to Ji Xuanhe's poor health.The servings of Ji Xuan and his husband are all according to the specifications of the young master of Ji's mansion. The food is very delicate, better than what they eat at home, Ji Xuan and Zi are not dissatisfied.
As Shao Yunchen's uncle, Pan Mingjie is also an in-law of the Ji family, so his status is not low.Most of the time, the small kitchen was left unused, only when Shao Yunchen ordered it, Mama Duan would stew some supplements, make some snacks and so on.
Waiting for the opening of the list, Shao Yunchen informed Ji Xuanhe of the news he had learned one by one.
Of the four young ladies of the Ji Mansion, only two descendants entered the primary election.The two concubine girls who were not selected were locked in their respective courtyards, and they couldn't leave the courtyard at leisure, so as not to make troubles when they had time, and their aunts were also well noticed.
Da Furen's move to prepare for a rainy day has saved a lot of trouble, and the Ji Mansion has not caused any trouble because of it.
The number of clansmen who lived in the Jifu and took the rural examination was only a lot more than when they took the college examination last time, but the rate of passing the examination was greatly reduced.
Just like last time, Ji Xuanhui still hit the mark with one fell swoop, and the second wife laughed so hard that she didn't even know her teeth were showing.At such a time, the mothers and maids would not go forward to remind the master that this is a rare happy event for the second wife, and they are too late to be happy, so why would they mind the slight inappropriate behavior of the master?
Ji Xuanhui ranked high, and the good news has arrived, but the people who were sent out to read the rankings have not yet returned home.
He and the people in the garden waited for a long time for no news, and the whole courtyard was quiet.Especially those servants of the Ji Mansion, they dare not make any noise at such a time, for fear of offending their master.No matter what, Ji Xuanhe is the young master of the Ji Mansion, and they are not the low-level servant girls who can offend.
Before the exam, Ji Xuanhe was still a little worried, but now he saw that everyone including Shao Yunchen looked restless, so he comforted him: "Uncle, cousin, Shen Qing and the others haven't come back yet. , why do you doubt yourself first?"
Pan Mingjie and his son don't know this truth, they just know that they know it. When they really face it, whether they can adjust their mentality is not something that can be calculated by themselves.It's like when you know you can't be nervous during an exam, but you can still be nervous when you shouldn't be nervous, especially when it's about your own future. Does it mean that you can relax just by relaxing?
However, with Ji Xuanhe's opening, the atmosphere in the hall was not as solemn as before.
Waiting and waiting, waiting until everyone's enthusiasm was almost gone, Shen Qingqing and Qinglan came back after a long time.
"Master, both you and Master Biao won, but the rankings are very low." As soon as Shen Qing stepped into the hall, before he could catch his breath, he reported the good news first.
"Really?" Pan Mingjie and his son were the most excited. Whether the Pan family can make a comeback depends entirely on Pan Hongli.
"Master, it's true. The two servants read it several times, and came back to report the letter after being convinced that it was correct. Judging by the appearance of the master, the good news has not yet arrived, and it is estimated that it will arrive soon." Qinglan was still amazed at the scene of the people next to each other after the experience of the list.He and Shen Qing took great effort to squeeze in, otherwise they wouldn't have made the masters wait for so long.
"Good, good, good!" Pan Mingjie was emotional, but he only said three words of "good", his mouth was tight, and he didn't say anything else.
When Pan Hongli heard the news, his eyes were slightly red. He knew that his talent for writing was not very good. Some of it was tutored by a famous teacher and he worked hard day and night. When he was in Rongjin Town, he was also doing accounts while reviewing homework. Otherwise, he wouldn't have achieved what he is today.
After hearing this, Ji Xuanhe let out a sigh of relief. His idea was very simple, and he finally didn't need to take the exam anymore.I believe that few people who have experienced pre-examination review and took the college entrance examination want to experience it again.
Feeling that Shao Yunchen suddenly grabbed his hand and pulled it very tightly, Ji Xuanhe patted it lightly, regardless of the fact that there were still many people around him, the two interlocked their fingers and returned a warm smile.
Ji Xuanhe is not a serious person, but he doesn't smile much. He is usually not serious, but he looks at him with a slight sense of alienation, as if there is a film in between.Shao Yunchen felt this kind of feeling the most. He was the closest person to Ji Xuanhe. The indifference and alienation was not aimed at him, but more like he had experienced the vicissitudes of life. These had been engraved into Ji Xuanhe's bones.
Ji Xuanhe laughed, and this sense of alienation disappeared instantly, as if a strong wind had blown away the dark clouds.Especially such a warm and harmonious smile made Ji Xuanhe look very harmless and easy to get close to.
Shao Yunchen didn't see such a smile many times. Most of the time, Ji Xuanhe's smile was either shallow or exaggerated. cherish.At this moment, Shao Yunchen could no longer notice anyone else, only Ji Xuanhe was left in his eyes.
Shao Yunchen knows Ji Xuanhe well.When he first got married, he also complained and hated. He knew that from that moment on, his life took a turn, and his future was no longer as bright as before, and he would probably stay in a small back house in the future. , in order to live a more stable and comfortable life for himself, and try his best to cater to his husband.
But nothing like this happened after that. He was free to go out and take care of things outside. Apart from the regret of not being able to become an official, his life was really good.Ji Xuanhe respected him and would not force him. What is even more commendable is that he has no idea of taking a concubine.
In fact, from the very beginning of marriage, Shao Yunchen was ready for a husband with three wives and four concubines. After all, there are three types of unfilial piety, and the greatest thing is to have no offspring. Not many people have the courage to not have offspring.
The sound of firecrackers at the gate of Wenfu brought back Shao Yunchen's thoughts, and then the servant led the two officials into the peace garden.When everyone looked at the posture, they knew that it was an official messenger with good news.After the notification, Jimo Qiucheng hurried forward to make arrangements.
After the official left, there was joy in Heyuan, and even the servants of Ji's mansion who were serving in Heyuan were happy.
I don't know if Ji's mansion is very lucky this year, not only Ji Xuan and them, but even two of the borrowed clansmen won the election.This kind of situation is extremely rare. If the rural examination were really so simple, there would not be so many scholars who were depressed all their lives.
Now that you have won Juren, interpersonal communication is very important.There are gains and losses, Ji Xuan and Pan Hongli have no classmates, only the same year in the same subject, as for the teacher, let's forget it, the two of them have lower grades, no one will look at them.
Five Juren came out of the Ji Mansion at once, although only Ji Xuanhui and Ji Xuanhe were from the Ji Mansion, that was a great joy.After winning the exam, whether it is to become an official or continue to take the entrance examination, it is a good way.With the backing of Jifu, it is not too difficult for someone to become an official.The third lord of the Ji Mansion is not a high-ranking official, but the Ji Mansion has a profound background.
Although the third master of Jifu is only a fifth-rank local official, he is also in charge of a state, and has considerable power in the local area.
The old man Ji is in a good mood today. Not only two grandsons in the family have passed the examination, but even two of their relatives have passed the examination.Over the years, among the five sons, only the eldest son and the third son have successfully embarked on official careers. He has been waiting for this day for a long time.
Before he left, Mrs. Ji made the decision to entertain the clansmen in Yunzhou Prefecture, and by the way, invite all the acquaintances and friends of the people in the residence.
After getting the news from Mrs. Ji, Ji Xuan and Pan Hongli were a little embarrassed. Are they friends?Where can they find it?
As soon as this thought flashed across, Ji Xuanhe thought of Gu Shengyue and Meng Lu.After the hospital examination, he barely interacted with the two of them, but Old Master Zhen kept in touch with them.This time the two must have also participated in the provincial examination, but it is not known whether the two passed the exam.
Ji Xuanhe told Pan Hongli what he meant, and Pan Hongli suddenly felt that this method was very good, and the two sent all the servants out to search for people.There are only a few inns near the Gongyuan, Gu Shengyue's family is good, as long as he doesn't come late, he should stay in these inns.Even if they are not there, it is not difficult to find them.Gu Shengyue, Meng Lu, and Ji Xuan are different from them. They have many classmates, and they can always meet someone who knows them.
Several people in Jimo were ordered to leave.
As expected by Ji Xuanhe, Gu Shengyue really stayed in the inn near the Gongyuan, while Meng Lu lived farther away.Although there were many candidates, not many remained in Yunzhou Prefecture.There were no winners, and many people packed their bags and set foot on the way home when they came out of the list.As a result, there were not many candidates left, and it was much easier for Jimo and the others to find someone.
Gu Shengyue and Meng Lu happened to be two people, and Ji Xuanhe and Pan Hongli each invited one.The two held the invitation in their hands and carefully put it away.The Ji Mansion may not be visible in the capital, but in the eyes of Gu Shengyue and Meng Lu, it is already the most powerful family of noble officials they can come into contact with.One of the two was from a merchant, the other was just an ordinary citizen, and most of their acquaintances and friends were from the same background. How could there ever be such a good opportunity?
If the opportunity is not seized, Gu Shengyue and Meng Lu will definitely regret it.The two got together to discuss and agreed to go to the Ji Mansion as guests at that time.Seeing Meng Lu's shabby clothes, Gu Sheng offered to lend him money to buy a cotton overshirt.Gu Shengyue was born in a businessman and had a smooth temper. He would never say that he would pay for a piece of clothing for Meng Lu. It would look like a handout, and Meng Lu would probably not accept it.Scholars tend to be a bit high-minded, especially those from poor families, who have a strong sense of self-esteem. It is easy to offend people if they do so rashly in a situation they are not too familiar with.
Meng Lu was not that pedantic person either, he accepted Gu Shengyue's kindness after a moment of surprise.What Gu Shengyue proposed was cotton clothes instead of silk and satin, which is enough to show that this person has a delicate mind, and he is not someone who ignores other people's feelings, so he can be friends with.
Ji Xuanhe received a reply from Gu Shengyue and Meng Lu, and they will come on time on the day of the banquet in Ji's mansion.After that, he stayed in Heyuan all the time and didn't go out to meet friends, because he had no friends at all except Gu Shengyue and Meng Lu.
The family members of Ji's mansion in Yunzhou Fucheng are not many, but there are quite a few. In addition to the students invited by Ji Xuanhui and others, the number of them is quite considerable.
Mrs. Ji was of a high seniority, so the second master of Ji's mansion came forward to introduce the five new recruits to the clansmen present, and then let a few of them go back to sit and chat with the students.
Ji Xuan sat at the same table with a group of four, and there were four other people beside him.No matter how you say it, Ji Xuanhe is also the grandson of Mrs. Ji, even if the family is separated, he is still a part of Ji's mansion, and this table will be served by him as the master.
None of the people present were very old, and the oldest one was standing close to him.Young people get together, drink and eat, and after a meal, they can be regarded as familiar.
Ji Xuanhe was the youngest person at the table, and he was the host. The others didn't drink for him, but let him do whatever he wanted.Ji Xuanhe accepted their kindness and only took a few sips occasionally.After coming to Jinchao, Ji Xuanhe usually only drank a little fruit wine because of his young age, and he didn't even have much chance to touch fruit wine.Shao Yunchen looked at him, he was too young, drinking too early could easily hurt his health.
The banquet at Ji's family was a luncheon, and after the banquet was over, the members of the Ji family left, as did Mrs. Ji and the others, leaving only Ji Xuan and their students to communicate with each other.
Jinchao banquets are mostly dinners, so the arrangement of the Ji Mansion is to allow time for Ji Xuan and his students to get to know each other and broaden their contacts.
Ji Xuanhe is not a person who pretends to be noble, he is also somewhat interested in what the students can talk about with each other.He won't keep silent if he can talk, and he won't force himself to talk to someone who can't talk.
After one afternoon, Ji Xuanhe also met some people, of course they were just acquaintances.His family is in Kangping County, and he shouldn't have many interactions with these people in the future, so that's enough.
The next day was the Lu Ming Banquet, which was the first time that Ji Xuan and Pan Hongli had really stepped into the Juren world.
Ji Xuanhe was at the bottom of the list and accompanied him in the bottom seat, Pan Hongli was in a similar seat to him, and Gu Shengyue and Meng Lu were far ahead.
The Luming Banquet hosted the new imperial examination candidates, and there were quite a few of them, but it was very lively.Because of the presence of officials, none of the contestants dared to make mistakes, and after a banquet of deer crowing, it was considered a joy for both guests and hosts.
Ji Xuanhe was young and ranked low, so he didn't talk to him much.At Ji Xuanhe's age, it is unlikely that he will become an official now, and if he continues to take the entrance examination, the chance of being selected is very low.People are very realistic, how many contestants are there at the Luming Banquet?It is impossible to know everyone, so I have to choose.
Ji Xuanhe didn't go with Pan Hongli. At this time, he had to get to know more people. It's not good for the two of them to be together.
The next day after the Lu Ming Banquet, Ji Xuanhe bid farewell to Mrs. Ji. Mrs. Ji asked about his future plans, and Ji Xuanhe told the truth.He doesn't plan to take the Jinshi exam anymore. The chances of passing the exam are really low. After two or three years, he will get older and probably find an official position.
The old man Ji rested his hand on his beard, fell into deep thought, and then asked, "Are you sure?"
"Well, if nothing unexpected happens."
"Okay, I got it. You will let me know in advance when the time comes. I'll use my connections to find you a magistrate in a small place. It's not too difficult." After finishing speaking, Old Master Ji didn't stay with Ji Xuanhe any longer and let him do it on his own. leave.
Pan Hongli is also ranked at the bottom of the crane, he knows himself, he does not plan to participate in next year's Spring Festival.He ranked at the bottom of the township examination, and the general examination is only half a year away. If he can pass the Jinshi examination like this, it is estimated that the ancestral grave will really be smoked.
Pan Hongli is not young anymore, and he will lose the crown next year. His mother is already looking for a wife for him, and it's time to start a family.After getting married, although you can concentrate on your studies, it is different from before. You can't leave your daughter-in-law at home and ignore it, right?
After some deliberation, Pan Hongli informed Pan Mingjie of his thoughts: "Father, with my current knowledge, the chances of winning next year's spring are really slim. During the first general examination, I was only three out of [-], and it was very difficult to pass the exam in one go. I thought it would be a good idea to make some connections during this period to see if I could find an official position. The county magistrate is a bit difficult, but the county magistrate is still possible."
Jin Chao was able to become an official since he was a scholar, but it was only possible after he was directly recommended to the Imperial Academy through special channels.There are many people who raise people to become officials, but if you start to become an official, not only the initial official position is not high, but it is also difficult to get promoted, and if there is no one to manage it, it is difficult to even find the county magistrate.
The reason why Pan Hongli dared to say that was also because he was not from a poor family. No matter what, the Pan family had one or two in-laws to borrow.In the past, when there were no successors in the Pan family, they might just stand by and watch, but now it's different. With Pan Hongli's reputation as a man-raiser, the Pan family has hope to stand up again. It's not those who wait for kindness to repay their revenge, they can get their own rewards.
In addition, Pan Hongli can also rely on his cousin's family.Pan's family and Ji's family are relatives by marriage. His family has a good relationship with his cousin, and he is also very close to Ji's family. But it is not comparable to ordinary in-laws.
Pan Hongli didn't live and live for free, it was not feasible to give money directly, not only Shao Yunchen, but even Ji Xuanhe would not accept it.Knowing this, the Pan family will send some things that the Ji family also needs to buy from time to time. Maybe the money is not enough to offset Pan Hongli's spending at the Ji family, but Ji Xuan and his wife have received this kindness.
Pan Mingjie hoped that his son would continue to take the entrance examination, but he was relieved just thinking about himself.He is almost old, except for the years in Rongjin Town, it can be said that he has not missed a college examination, but what is the result, is he not even a scholar?
It is not uncommon for those like him to be good, and it is not uncommon for those poor children to drag down a family because of one person's imperial examination.He knew his son was a responsible person.When they were in Rongjin Town, his family gritted their teeth, and it was much easier to provide for a student than for a poor family.But Pan Hongli was not so selfish, he was working as an accountant, and at the same time he did not forget to study.It was he who delayed his son, and his knowledge was enough to enlighten beginners, and it would not work any further.
Pan Mingjie couldn't help but rejoice, if his family wasn't close to his nephew back then, and he didn't think about reconnecting with his nephew, it is estimated that their family is still in Rongjin Town, and it would be difficult for him to see the family prosper in his life.
Knowing his son's temperament, Pan Mingjie did not force Pan Hongli to continue taking the Jinshi examination. His future path depends on his own luck. If he can find an official position in more than three years, he will directly enter the official position as a recruiter. Just continue to work hard on the road to the imperial examination.
Zhongju is a big event, Yangjiabu may not be able to produce one in more than ten years, even if Ji Xuanhe doesn't have much contact with the villagers of Yangjiabu, this banquet cannot be avoided.
Kangping County is a big county, there is no shortage of candidates, and it is not so enthusiastic about the new imperial examination candidates. Besides, Ji Xuanhe ranks low, and there are not many door-to-door contacts.Ji Xuanhe ended up in peace, which was exactly what he wanted.
As soon as Ji Xuanhe returned to Yangjiabu, he passed the news of his winning to Wen Zhuocheng, and by the way, informed the old man of Wenfu.Since entering Wenfu last year, Ji Xuanhe could no longer ignore his grandfather and the others.
Wen Zhuocheng looked at the letter in his hand and smiled happily. He was really happy for this nephew.Ji Xuanhe did not hide it, and informed his second uncle of his plan.Wen Zhuocheng thought that his nephew would be about the same age in the next year or so. Although he was still a little young, there were many precedents to prove it. Others would have to think carefully if they wanted to use the excuse that the nephew was not old enough to suppress others.
From the moment Ji Xuanhe was admitted to Juren and officially decided to take an official career, Wen Zhuocheng began to tell him all the ways he knew in the officialdom and various related news.
Apart from the second uncle, Ji Xuanhe also has Old Master Zhen by his side.Old Master Zhen is not only knowledgeable, he also has personal experience in officialdom, and has his own way of being an official.
Old Master Zhen is both happy and entangled in Ji Xuanhe's career. His original intention was to return to Kangping County to retire, but Lin Lao took in two disciples and one named disciple. Once Ji Xuanhe seeks an official position, wouldn't he want it? Take office?It doesn't matter if you don't follow. It didn't matter before. After being taken care of by someone around here often, if you want him to live alone again, he may find it difficult to adapt.At the time when his wife and children were gone, let alone the pain he felt during that time, he didn't want to go through it again.
Forget it, it's too early to say anything about it, it will take a year and a half for Ji Xuanhe to be an official, let's talk about it then.Old Master Zhen no longer entangled with this, and happily went out to chat with the old men.
When everything returns to calm, the day of the draft has arrived.
This draft has changed the previous rules, and now I have only selected a few outstanding women, most of the outstanding men and women are prepared for the clan and officials, even wealthy businessmen are not left behind.
After the actions of the Holy Majesty, the in-law relationship network among the upper echelons of the Jin Dynasty became more complicated.Caught off guard, many courtiers were disrupted from their previous layout.
Originally, he planned to marry his daughter and granddaughter to this family, but the emperor ordered her to marry to that family.This is not over yet, if a legitimate son is selected in the family, it is even more of a lawsuit.Concubine sons and concubine sons are taught differently. It is okay to say that the family chooses to marry a concubine son, but more often it is directly stated that one must be born, and it is not possible to use concubine sons to make up the number.
Originally, they didn't intend to let the sons-in-law get married, so they naturally trained them to serve the family. They should be young if they can be selected as the best men. If so, they know a lot.Once they entered a mansion that wasn't in their own plan, they would be reluctant to abandon it. It would not be easy to deepen ties with these families that had little relationship with them in the past. These families were really in a dilemma.
Not only is it difficult for families with married children, but also for those families that have adopted them.Fortunately, the Holy Majesty has not yet reached the level of madness, and did not allow the two families who are obviously rivals to marry by marriage, otherwise those people can only become the outcasts of the family, and it is difficult to have a second way out.
With just one move, the Holy Majesty disrupted the forces on the chessboard, and it would take a lot of time to restore order.He's not dead yet, how can he allow his sons to form cliques and covet the throne?He knew that he was not in good health, but before going down to accompany his ancestors, he still wanted to live in peace, but he didn't want to be pulled down from the throne by his sons.As for who can take over after he left, then he doesn't care, and he can't control it.The sons are too good, and sometimes it is not a good thing.
The Jin Dynasty had no sons in the middle palace, and Emperor Rentai did not appoint a prince.In the past dynasties, it can be said that there are very few people who ascended the throne as the prince.
Old Master Ji looked at the news on the paper with a solemn expression.The eldest granddaughter entered the Third Prince's Mansion, but she was just a concubine, that's all, there was also a daughter in the Ji Mansion in the capital who entered the Prince's Mansion, but she was the First Prince's Mansion, and she was also a side concubine. What kind of trouble is this going to cause?
Forget it, it's over, and no one can predict what will happen in the future. Mrs. Ji didn't intend to support his eldest granddaughter, but he was also unwilling to go along with the Jifu in the capital. The situation is okay now, and he doesn't want to immediately cut off his eldest granddaughter's way out. .
Since Ji Xuanhe couldn't get the news immediately, it took him a while to find out.
Ji Xuanhe doesn't know what his eldest sister thinks, some people yearn for a luxurious life, even if she is a concubine, she is happy, and she is very motivated to fight for it, and is bound to fight for a career in the sky, while some people don't want to be a concubine, Because of their status, they can only marry at a low price, and they don't regret it.
Whether you like it or not, in this Jin Dynasty where the imperial power is supreme, everything is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed. The beautiful men and women can only accept it happily, and the family is no different.
After the rural examination, Ji Xuanhe returned to his old life.In the morning, Old Master Zhen's class was changed, and it was more about talking about the affairs of the officialdom. Pan Hongli had a need for this, so he went to class together.Ji Xuanhe didn't let Shao Yunchen avoid him. Although he can't be an official, he can discuss with his husband in private, and it's okay to come up with ideas.
In this regard, Old Master Zhen is very satisfied. Among Ji Xuan and the three of them, the one with the best aptitude is Shao Yunchen. It was a pity for Old Master Zhen back then.With Shao Yunchen by his side, Ji Xuanhe's future journey will be smoother.
In Ji Xuanhe's spare time, what he reads the most is the topography of various prefectures. Knowing more will only benefit him and not harm him in the future.
Since opening a shop in the capital city last year, Ji Xuanhe has not expanded the family business. Now Ji's family has a net income of more than 1000 taels a year. After deducting the family's expenses, they can save a lot of money.Keep these for backup, there will be a lot of places to use money in the future, and it will be impossible if you don't have money on hand.
