Aoyama Chronicle

Even though Zhong Yiwen and the others had just finished the New Year at home, they had already gone out, which seemed to them to be early.But it wasn't until they entered the territory of Qingzhou after traveling for seven or eight days that they realized that they were really nothing.On the official road all the way to Qingzhou Prefecture, it is really easy to see a candidate at a glance.Some of them drove a carriage like Zhong Yiwen, and some walked directly. The most exaggerated one was a gray-haired old scholar walking all the way with the support of his grandson.It is said that he is a candidate in the southernmost part of the Yangzhou prefecture. He left home with his grandson last fall. If he was not worried that he was too old to wait until the next Yangzhou provincial examination, the old scholar would not have worked so hard.Qin Fei couldn't stand it anymore, let Meizi sit in their carriage, and then asked the old scholar to sit with his grandson and Aqi and Amo, and took them along for a ride.

In ancient times, scientific research has always been one of the most emotional things, even if you study hard for decades, you will be known all over the world in one day.But how many people can really make it to the list, and how many people have spent their entire lives on the road to the list.How many people's bitter tears are contained in this is really hard to tell.

"As the head of the family, it doesn't matter if you don't win the list. It's enough for you to have a reputation as a scholar. Don't force yourself to take the exam for a lifetime." Qin Fei said suddenly.

Zhong Yiwen really couldn't laugh or cry, which husband would say something like this when his family was preparing for the scientific examination: "Fool, you don't believe me so much, your husband and I look like I will be the kind of person who needs to take the examination for a lifetime. Someone who is sure to pass the exam? You just wait to see your master's title on the gold list, Guangzong Yaozu!"

It was rare for Qin Fei to plan to comfort Zhong Yiwen once. As soon as his emotions were brewed, Zhong Yiwen's cheeky said nothing, "Are you really not humble at all?"

"Excessive modesty is pride!" Zhong Yiwen replied very smoothly.

It makes sense for Zhong Yiwen to be so confident.This original body has learned the original Four Books and Five Classics well, and the comprehensive literature is not a big problem. As for mathematics, after several months of study, coupled with He Jianghai's generous teaching, Zhong Yiwen is absolutely confident that as long as he is not careless, he can learn mathematics. For him, it is a piece of cake to grab it with his hands, and the full score is for playing with it.After all, how difficult can it be for a college student to solve math problems that junior high school students can calculate.Even if it is arithmetic that will be tested later, Zhong Yiwen can guarantee that he can answer it easily, this is confidence.If there was no math subject in the scientific examination, Zhong Yiwen probably wouldn't be so sure that he would be able to pass the entrance examination.

"Tang, my uncle is the best, I will win." Xiaochen was hugged by Meizi to encourage his uncle.

"Yes, Xiaochen really knows your uncle and me too well, I'll give you an extra meal tonight!" Zhong Yiwen casually promised Xiaochen again.

Xiaochen shouted happily: "Then I want to eat chicken drumsticks, candied haws, and sweet-scented osmanthus. Uncle, don't play tricks!"

During this period of time, following He Jianghai to go to the school every day as a non-staff student, Xiaochen's biggest improvement is that he speaks a lot more neatly, and he no longer speaks two or three words like before.

Zhong Yiwen will always add conditions to Xiao Chen's promises: "Okay, no problem, uncle agrees to you. As long as you agree."

Qin Fei gave Zhong Yiwen a white look, this person is always like this, he wants to be a good person, and promises everything to Xiaochen, so that he can be a bad person.

However, Xiaochen has never seen his uncle's sinister intentions. Every time he asks Qin Fei to fulfill his uncle's promise, he is undoubtedly beaten back by Qin Fei. Gradually loosening, Xiaochen became closer to Zhong Yiwen.If it was Xiaochen now, he probably wouldn't wholeheartedly help Qin Fei when Zhong Yiwen and Qin Fei had conflicts.So, Zhong Yiwen has a dark belly. When he was beating Qin Fei, he was bumped into by Xiao Chen in order to protect Qin Fei, and he was knocked on the corner of the table and died.Lessons learned from the past, so we must divide the relationship between Qin Fei and Xiao Chen, penetrate into their interior, and avoid history from repeating itself.

Zhong Yiwen and his party walked for another seven or eight days, and finally arrived at the capital of Qingzhou.Not far from the city gate, the old scholar and his grandson had already got out of the car, and they left after thanking Zhong Yiwen a lot.

"Grandpa, you guys have finally arrived!"

As soon as their two carriages paid the money and entered the city, Chen Yinuo hurried over here.

When Chen Yinuo knew that Zhong Yiwen was going to come to Qingzhou Prefecture to take the provincial examination, he took the initiative to ask to come over in advance to help take care of it.He had been waiting in this city for a long time, and had people guarding the gate of the city every day, until today he finally waited for Zhong Yiwen and his party to enter the city.

Zhong Yiwen got out of the carriage and walked along with Chen Yinuo, but the others did not let them down. There are too many people in this city.

"Brother Yinuo, you have really worked hard!" Zhong Yiwen said this with absolute sincerity.Chen Yinuo had been away for several months before returning home, but as soon as the new year was over, he came to Qingzhou again before resting for a few days, even hard-working people couldn't stand it.

Chen Yinuo grinned and didn't care: "It's all trivial things. You trust me, sir, so of course I have to help you. Hey, this way. I'll be here after the Chinese New Year, it's too late That’s right, many families started to prepare places for candidates at home last year. This is due to the big exam year. The housing prices in Qingzhou’s prefecture city are really rising year by year. If it’s not a coincidence, I really only want to I can rent a small courtyard for you at a high price. Fortunately, I came across an opportunity and bought a small courtyard. The price is really cheap. I am afraid that I can buy two similar small courtyards in other places except Kyoto. I used to live in Yongzhou The state capital is also the annual exam venue of the western exam area, so it is definitely not as scary as Qingzhou."

"It's pretty good that you can buy it, and you are more powerful, Brother Yinuo. If you don't come here to help us take care of it, I'm afraid we can only live in a hotel now, or rent a small courtyard. How can we be as comfortable as we are now! "

Zhong Yiwen looked at the crowds all over the street, this one signboard was smashed down, ten of them were hit, and nine of them were candidates and students, this situation is indeed a bit scary.If they wait until they come today to arrange accommodation, I'm afraid it will take at least a lot of time to really settle down.

"This is what I should do. Hey, here we are." Chen Yinuo led Zhong Yiwen and the others into a quiet alley, and stopped at the gate of a small courtyard without going far.

Zhong Yiwen went in and took a look, the whole courtyard was not very big, there were about [-] rooms, it was not too crowded for them all to live in.Chen Yinuo knew that Zhong Yiwen and the others would bring Aqi and Amo over, so he didn't arrange for more people, but just went to buy a pair of kids from Hufu and the others.The man is in charge of guarding the door and cleaning the entire yard, the brother is in charge of three meals a day in the kitchen, and their boy is in charge of cleaning each room.

After Qin Fei and the others waited for the carriage to stop, they began to move things home one after another.Xiao Chen, who was already bored in the carriage, began to help enthusiastically after getting off the carriage.

Zhong Yiwen didn't do these things, but called Chen Yinuo directly, and the two went into the study that Chen Yinuo specially packed out for Zhong Yiwen to study.

"Master, don't worry, this yard is very safe. Two yards away is the old house of Tongzhi's family in Qingzhou Prefecture. There will be no problem with safety. In addition, there are several yards around that are rented out for those who come to take the exam. Students, sir, you should be able to get to know each other after staying for a few days. Also, sir, Mr. Jiang, one of the examiners for the Qingzhou rural examination, was originally from Yongzhou, and has a little relationship with my previous family. Look, I used Don't you need to move around for you?" When Chen Yinuo said the last sentence, he blinked his eyes solemnly, it was definitely on purpose, because he wanted to see Zhong Yiwen's joke.

How could Zhong Yiwen not know what he meant, and laughed: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who needs to go through the back door to gain a sense of presence in front of the examiner's door? Lord, I'm talented, and it's only a matter of time before I become famous!"

Chen Yinuo changed his attitude immediately, and bowed his hands: "Master, you are indeed a noble man with a noble character. I will first wish you to be named on the gold list and be famous all over the world!"

"Okay, okay! If you keep talking, if I don't hit you, you will jump into the river in shame and anger!"

Chen Yinuo really wanted to see how Zhong Yiwen didn't win the exam. He only blamed Zhong Yiwen for being too evil and pressing him too hard. That's why Chen Yinuo had such thoughts.However, as soon as Chen Yinuo's idea popped up, he was suppressed by himself.Scholars have studied hard for many years in order to go to high school. Although Chen Yinuo himself is not a scholar, he still admires their perseverance and determination.What's more, although Zhong Yiwen bullied him a lot, he helped him more.Chen Yinuo would never hold back Zhong Yiwen on such an important scientific examination, even if he thought about it casually.

When Zhong Yiwen and his family settled down, Chen Yinuo led the two nurses over to bid farewell.After the beginning of spring in Yanzhou, the sudden snowstorm in most areas has been brought to Qingzhou by the students.Chen Yinuo and the others naturally heard about it.Chen Yinuo smelled a business opportunity from it, and couldn't wait to get a share of it.

The Zhongjia Rice Grain Shop has not a deep foundation in Yanzhou, so far there is only one shop.Just because Yanzhou is located on the remote border of Yan State, the merchants there have a strong sense of local protection, and foreign merchants can't get in at all.But the land there is barren, and only sorghum, sweet potato and wheat can be grown there, and the rice in Yangzhou can be sold at sky-high prices there, and the supply exceeds demand.Although the Zhong family only had one shop there, their annual income could reach [-]% of the entire rice business, which shows how much money they make.Chen Yinuo also went to Yanzhou last year, and he wanted to expand his business there a long time ago. This time, he might have a chance, so he rushed there impatiently.
