The Bandit Gentleman of the Red Chamber

In recent years, the capital city has been filled with smog, and no one can stand it.I couldn't stand the noisy fights of several princes in the arena, so when they lived 60 years old today, the Ministry of Rites, under their instruction, submitted a booklet to invite Enke to play.It is a good thing to open Enke, to select talents for the country and the people, and to divert the attention of the princes by the way, so that the old man can relax.As for the princes who fought for the study of politics... that's none of his old man's business...

"What!" Lin Chen almost spit out a sip of tea, and he didn't care about that, he hurriedly asked, "Sir, are you serious? I'm only 11 years old, isn't it too early now?"

Mr. Zhuang was furious and scolded: "Is it too early to be 11 years old? There are still people who end up at the age of □! Thinking of your father, he also earned a prostitute when he was 20 years old! He is worthless thing!"

Nonsense, Lin Ruhai has the highest diploma in the whole Dream of Red Mansions, how can I compare him with him... Of course, the slander is all slander, Lin Chen can only laugh: "Sir, what you said is true, but even though I have the title of supervisor, At this stall, and at this age, it’s a bit of an eye-opener. If I don’t take a college exam and pass the exam slowly, it can be regarded as giving me some confidence in the rural exam...uh..." Lin Chen raised his head suddenly ,"……gentlemen!"

Mr. Zhuang sized him up for a long while with a half-hearted smile, before he said with a half-smile: "Looking at you, you thought I would let you go to the township exam? Whether you can pass the exam or not is another matter. If you pass the exam by luck, maybe you have to." It would be nice to have an extra seat teacher surnamed Rong..."

Prince Zhongheng and Prince Lianjun fought evenly this time, but the Zhili provincial examination was conducted by a branch of the Rong family of Prince Zhongheng's mother's family.Therefore, the number of rich and powerful children participating in the rural examination in the capital this time is more than half less than in previous years...

In fact, I also want to know that Lin Chen is only eleventh now, and if he really takes the township examination, no matter whether he passes the exam or not, it is really too eye-catching.It's just that Lin Chen's mind is full of things about the capital these days, so when Mr. Zhuang talked about taking the exam, he immediately thought of this Enke...

Knowing that he didn't have to take the Juren examination, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and even patted his chest to assure Mr. Zhuang: "Don't worry, sir, the student will definitely come back for your case first!"

Mr. Zhuang didn't bother to pay attention to him, and pointed to a big wooden box that had been put on the ground earlier: "This box contains many good articles over the years, and you will go through them one by one. If you don't understand, just ask me, so you can understand it in your heart." A rough chart. Tomorrow, I will inquire about the chief examiner of the college examination, and I will not worry about being a scholar."

This is the advantage of being the children of the rich and powerful. In this ancient time when the channels of cultural transmission were backward, only they could invite the best teachers to teach and get first-hand information. It is more likely that the examiners are their seven bends. Baguai's relatives, close friends from the father's generation, relatives-in-law from the mother's clan...

However, Lin Chen was a little dumbfounded looking at a large box of "Excellent Compositions" neatly bound into volumes in front of him—there were only a few companies in the entire capital that could sell them.It's just that after three months there will be a courtyard test, so much that Mr. Zhuang has shown, I won't be able to finish reading until the year of the monkey...

When paying her respects the next day, Lin Chen was still "sick" and hadn't passed away, so Daiyu mentioned this to Jia's mother, saying that it was her father's fate, and that Lin Chen should have a try first, so that she could learn more.

But Mother Jia was really worried about Lin Chen's health, and hurriedly tried to persuade her, "Master, you really said that? This is not what an old woman like me should say. The examination room is the most rudimentary, neither eating nor sleeping well. And you are not allowed to bring people to serve. Brother Chen is weak and sick for days, so there is no way he can get out of trouble! It is a good thing to be willing to make progress, but if Taocheng breaks down, what should we do?"

Mrs. Wang even smiled and said: "Didn't Brother Lin still donate a prison student? Although I am a woman who doesn't understand these things, I also know that the childbirth trial prison student does not need to go. Brother, too, take good care of the foster student." It’s not better than anything!” My brother’s supervisor is a third-rank official, and your family was bought with money... Daiyu was silent in her heart While making complaints, she said with a smile: "I used to persuade my brother like this, but it was my father's intention, so how could I dare not to follow? Although my family has a name of Yinsheng, my father wanted my brother to pass the exam all the way, not only for the sake of good looks. It also means to let the elder brother test the water first." Jia's mother is still worried, Lin Hai is such a son, if he is folded in the examination room like Jia Zhu, what will happen to Daiyu? !Therefore, it is still obstructed blindly.

Daiyu has a delicate heart, she didn't understand what her grandmother meant, she was very moved, but she could only smile and persuade her: "Grandma, don't worry, my father has already thought about it, let my brother live in Mr. Zhuang's house first. First, the master will be here It is convenient for Jinyi to be around; Mr. Er Zezhuang is also from the background of the two ranking Jinshi, and he is the most experienced. With him taking care of my brother's end, my brother must be safe!" Finally, Jia's mother was persuaded, and she agreed to let Lin Chen lives in Mr. Zhuang's house to prepare for the exam.

Daiyu declined Sanchun's invitation with a smile, turned around and went back to Qingyuanyuan.When she came back, Lin Chen was holding the "Selection of Outstanding Compositions for the College Entrance Examination in Past Dynasties" and was dizzy. Seeing the girl came back, he hurriedly smiled flatteringly, "Did the old lady agree?"

Daiyu smiled and said: "It's a good thing for my brother to be motivated. Grandmother naturally likes it, so why not stop him?" She laughed to herself, "It's a pity that my brother didn't go today. The old lady looked at the second wife in the eyes... Let's see The first time I saw it, I was shocked."

At the same age, even if Lin Chenxu has grown up for a few months, he is about to take the exam, but Baoyu has not yet started to write an essay. , it must be the Wang family who failed to raise his son...

Lin Chen was very pleased that his sister could see through these things, but he still told him: "I don't say anything about pretending to be sick these days, but you should understand. Our family is no different from others, how many people are watching outside! You and me Brother and sister stay in the capital, father must be worried about him day and night, now that I go, it's okay, but my sister can't leave! If something happens to my sister... I will leave Gui Fu to you, that's all. The girl is not as gentle as Lan Xun, but she has a sharp temper, and she is able to watch over the door for you. Even though you are in your grandfather's house, you must pay attention to everything and always pay attention. If there is anything wrong, sister, don't forget, the manor There is also a grandma Rong..."

Daiyu also asked about Qin Keqing after she came back from the East Mansion, but Lin Chen didn't say a word like sawing a gourd, and now she suddenly mentioned...

Daiyu vaguely had an idea in her heart...
