Before Shen Yi could react, he heard the good news shouting again.
"Congratulations to Mr. Shen of Jiangdu Prefecture for ranking seventh in the Jiankang Rural Examination of the high school!"
The first place in the provincial examination is called Jieyuan, and the remaining second to tenth place are all called Yayuan.
Chen Changming on the side saw that Shen Yi didn't respond, so he smiled and said: "Junior Brother Shen, I am asking you for money."
Several college classmates behind him also laughed.
"Is it possible that Mr. Shen is short of money?"
Shen Yi smiled hoarsely, shook his head slightly, then looked back at Qing'er, who was in charge of the family account, and said, "Qing'er, take ten taels of silver and give tea to the messenger brother."
Qing'er also knew that winning the imperial examination was a great joy. Although she was stingy, she happily went down to get the money.
After Qing'er handed over the sealed silver to the messenger, Shen Yi looked at Chen Changming and others and sighed with emotion.
"Reincarnation Paradise"
"To be honest with you brothers, I still feel like I'm in a dream and it doesn't feel very real."
He looked at Chen Changming and asked, "Brother Changming, where is your rank?"
Chen Changming also had an unconcealable smile on his face, and it was obvious that he had been hit.
In other words, most of the students from Ganquan Academy who came to see Shen Yi were successful candidates, otherwise they would not have the time to come here to chat with Shen Yi.
Chen Changming said with a smile: "Not as good as Junior Brother Shen, I only got twenty-nine."
Shen Yi asked the rankings of several other academy students one by one, and sure enough, these people were all selected. After asking, Shen smiled and said, "Now, we are all masters."
There are a total of five of these classmates who came to look for Shen Yi, and together with Shen Yi, it means that Ganquan Academy has won six candidates in this provincial examination.
If I remember correctly, seventeen people came to participate in the college examination together, and fourteen of them were selected as scholars.
Among these fourteen people, six more were successful.
This ratio is already astonishingly high in this era.
You must know that these six candidates are just the 14 newly promoted scholars in the same period of Shen Yi. However, there are many "old" scholars in Ganquan Academy for reference. If those people are included, I am afraid that this year's candidates for the academy should be in More than ten.
Ten successful candidates were produced in three years. This teaching resource is unrivaled in this era.
Of course, there is also a source of students issue.
The students accepted by Ganquan Academy are all the most promising students in Jiangdu Prefecture or surrounding prefectures. Coupled with the careful teaching of the academy, it is normal for them to get good grades.
Chen Changming and Shen Yi are the youngest among these new candidates this year. He pulled Shen Yi's sleeve and said with a smile: "Junior brother is right, now we are all masters."
"Come on, Master Shen, come drink with us!"
Shen Yi smiled and nodded, then looked back at the two maids Qing'er and Ping'er, and said: "There will probably be some second and third reports coming soon. When they arrive, you will say that I am not at home, so just give me some money as usual."
Qing'er nodded quickly with a smile on his face: "I understand, sir."
This was the first time she called Shen Yi "master", but the meaning was naturally different from the usual master.
Shen Yi looked at Ping'er aside and said softly: "Ping'er, go to my dad's place and tell him the good news. You don't need to go in. You can go to the backyard and ask for Manager Shen, and you can see my dad." "
"Tell him to come to our place for a meal tonight to celebrate."
Because there were many classmates present, Shen Yi did not mention the words "Prince Jin's Mansion".
However, Shen Zhang had been here several times, and both maids knew where he worked.
Ping'er nodded quickly: "I understand, sir."
Shen Yi asked again: "When my father asks where I have been, tell him that I went drinking with my classmates in the same department."
Ping'er nodded quickly.
Shen Yi then turned to look at several fellow villagers and said with a smile: "Masters, let's go have a drink."
So, Shen Yi accompanied several classmates from the same department to find a larger restaurant in Jiankang, and got together to have a good meal.
Those who were in the same batch as Shen Yi were able to win the scholarship first and then the candidate, which shows that they have great potential. Even if they don't win next spring, there is a high probability that they will win in three or six years.
It doesn't take a lot. As long as three of these five people can win the Jinshi, it is already a very valuable network resource for Shen Yi. After all, he is the best among this group of classmates and entered the emperor early. In his field of vision, whether it is test scores or influence, he is definitely the boss among this group of classmates.
Shen Yi's only weakness may be his age. He is the youngest among this group of classmates. Even Chen Changming is three and nearly four years older than him.
Shen Yi went drinking with these classmates in the morning. At noon, he was drunk and went back to his yard to sleep. Only when he got home did he realize that many people from Jiangdu had come to visit him, but Because he was not at home, we did not meet him.
Shen Yi didn't care much about these fellow villagers. After returning to the yard, he first said a few words to his father Shen Zhang in a daze, and then lay on his bed and slept.
After sobering up in the afternoon, he got up and had a good talk with Shen Zhang. Shen Zhang was quite excited. He took Shen Yi's hand and said that he would go back to Jiangdu to celebrate the New Year no matter what this year and take Shen Yi to pay homage to his ancestors. .
After talking to his father, Shen Yi took his maid Ping'er and went to Dongshi Street to buy two jars of good wine and a lot of gifts. Together they came to Dayifang. In the private school of Dayifang, they met We arrived at Mr. Gu who was teaching Tong Sheng.
After Shen Yi entered the private school, he put down his gifts, bowed deeply to Mr. Gu respectfully, and said, "Student, thank you for coming."
Old Man Gu looked at the two jars of wine that Shen Yi placed on the ground and suddenly smiled. Then he looked up at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "You hit?"
Shen Yi also smiled and nodded: "I got it."
"What's the rank?"
Shen Yi stood next to Mr. Gu and chuckled: "Thanks to Mr. Tuo, we are seventh."
"Seventh..."
Old Man Gu smoothed his beard and said with a smile: "Before the provincial examination, I read your article and thought that it would be good to be in the top 50. I never expected that I could get an Asian dollar. It seems that it was either because of your performance in the provincial examination." Excellent, or what you wrote is very suitable for the examiner of this subject."
A smile appeared on Shen Yi's face.
"To say it all, it's all thanks to my husband. In the second test of the Jinke Provincial Examination, he almost got the answer."
Hearing Shen Yi's words, Old Man Gu shook his head slightly and his expression became serious: "Silence."
Shen Yi was a little surprised.
"Sir, this kind of thing is not a bad thing for you. Once word spreads, you will immediately become famous. It won't take long for you to be prosperous..."
"I only teach, not sell my knowledge."
Old Man Gu pointed at the children in the private school and said: "Teaching these children to read will earn enough for the old man to feed himself. The old man is already very satisfied. As for making money by teaching people to take exams, that would be unconscionable."
He looked at Shen Yi and said, "If Zhao Zhi hadn't introduced you here, I wouldn't have ignored you."
Speaking of Minister Zhao, Mr. Gu glanced at Shen Yi again: "Have you been to Zhao Zhi's place?"
Shen Yi shook his head.
"Master Zhao is probably still working in the household department at the moment. When it gets evening later, I will pay him a visit to express my gratitude."
"Um."
Mr. Gu stroked his beard again, nodded and said with a smile: "Go to his place more often. I'm a private school teacher. Maybe he will die in Jiankang in two years, and no one will care about him. If you come to my place and walk around, all will be well." Useless."
Shen Yi shook his head: "Sir, you have helped me a lot. Students should remember this for a lifetime."
After saying this, he looked at Mr. Gu and asked, "Sir, do you think the students will be able to win next spring?"
Old Man Gu smiled dumbly.
"You should be able to pass, but I suggest you wait three years before taking the exam."
