In the third year of Hongwu, Zheng Xiong became a member of countless time-traveling armies, and his soul time-traveled into the body of a Juren with the same name.
In my previous life, I was confused and yearning for freedom. On the way to deliver food, I drove the wrong way at a traffic light and was run over by a large truck that turned right and ran the red light.
I didn't save him, so I hope that the other party will take full responsibility, pay more compensation to the family, and make up for the owed upbringing.
After calming down, he looked at the bronze mirror. He had an ordinary face, which was quite similar to his previous life. He had an average body and was on the thin side. After all, he was a scholar and was not involved in childbirth. It was understandable that he was a little weak.
After sorting out my memory, this life is not bad. In the third year of Hongwu's first examination, I was selected for the exam. When the results were released, I fainted due to excitement, and was taken advantage of by Zheng Xiong from a later generation.
The memories of past and present lives flow and become clearer gradually. Even trivial things and novels I have read can be clearly remembered as I recall them.
It’s not difficult to understand after thinking about it. Genius is equivalent to an eight-core processor. Four plus four equals eight. There is nothing wrong with one plus one equaling one genius. It’s useless to think about it. Time travel has already happened. What else can’t be understood?
It is also a good thing. The welfare of the vast number of transcendents is equivalent to my own plug-in, and I have the capital to stand in this world.
My family is pretty good, and I have a small fortune in Yingtian Mansion. I have a few storefronts, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford my studies.
In addition to his cheap father and mother, there is also an eldest brother and a younger brother. Unfortunately, they are both half-brothers. The mother of the family has a low status and is not the official wife.
Precisely because of his lower status, the original owner was in agitated mood after winning the election, and his idea of getting ahead was taken advantage of before he could realize it.
Even though his status is a bit low, he doesn't deserve to be treated badly. He has everything he should have, and he even went to school. He is much better than ordinary people, so he shouldn't force anything.
He couldn't get it even if he asked. The eldest son of the family managed several shops with Lao Zheng. As the eldest son, most of the family business still had to fall on him. The youngest is also the daughter of the main wife, so he can also get a share. I am satisfied if I can get a foundation to stand on, and I can't force it.
There is also a younger sister from the same mother, who is younger than the youngest. She is also very lively at the age of ten. The family of seven does not have any major conflicts. They all come from simple families, and there are not so many palace fights. Going a step further It’s hard to say.
I straightened up and opened the door. It was already evening, and the sunset still had some color.
Walking into the main courtyard, the whole family is there. Winning the imperial examination is a happy event, and it is not a trivial matter. If you win the imperial examination, you can become an official. Especially in the current Ming Dynasty, there is a shortage of talents. What's more, Lao Zhu's preferential treatment of scholars is basically a step into another class.
If the accident hadn't happened and the family was in a panic, the neighbors would have come to congratulate and have a drink.
Seeing Zheng Xiong come out, the whole family stood up. After all, Zheng Xiong was considered successful. Zheng Xiong's mother and Yaomei both ran over. My mother, Han Yue'er, said with concern, "How is my son feeling now? Is there anything else he feels uncomfortable about?"
Looking at my mother, who is in her thirties, she was in her prime in modern times, but now she looks old and has crow's feet. Although the family is still fine and there is no need to work hard, having a child at an early age has also damaged one's vitality, and the gap in medical and health care has also made her look old.
Feeling a little sour in my heart, I hurriedly bowed to my mother and said, "Thank you, mother, for worrying about it. It's nothing now."
After appeasing his mother and younger sister, he and his mother and younger sister came forward together. Zheng Xiong saluted one by one. The Ming Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, and this etiquette was indispensable.
My father and aunt nodded one by one, and my father Zheng Qi stepped forward and said, "Since my son is well, I will invite all the neighbors to have a drink tomorrow, and it will be lively."
“But it’s up to the father to make the decision”
Zheng Qi nodded and stopped talking. This is the role of the head of the family and the old father, letting others chat and watching the harmonious atmosphere of the family.
Zheng Qi gave the old housekeeper instructions, and the old housekeeper took the two maids to the kitchen and soon arranged a table. A family of seven was seated.
After drinking and eating, Lao Zheng held a cup of tea and asked, "My son has won the imperial examination. He will work harder in the future, strive for the middle and upper grades, and honor his ancestors. Don't go out during this period."
Zheng Xiong was stunned for a moment and thought for a while. With his pseudo-octa-core processor, Zhongjinshi should be possible, but this is Lao Zhu's reign. If he does well in the exam, the upper limit will be high. With a high official position, it is inevitable to take sides. Lao Zhu killed people one after another. It's gone if you're not careful. Don't waste it if you win the election. If you have a good name and become a minor official, as long as you are not greedy or corrupt, and with Lao Zhu's preferential treatment, you are guaranteed to have food and clothing for a lifetime. With your own knowledge and some small innovations and inventions, Not to mention the rich and powerful, there must be well-off families with small wealth and small nobles. There is no need to take such a big risk. Who can survive the execution of the clan at every turn?
But I still have to be tactful with my father. Guangzong Yaozu is also a lifelong obsession of ordinary people, especially now that there is some hope. After careful consideration
"What my father said is true, but based on the child's talent, I expected that he would be the best at the exam. Especially compared with all his classmates, I feel that there is a huge gap. It is a blessing to win the exam this time. I don't dare to expect too much. I want to get it as soon as possible." I want to become an official and I don’t want to waste my time in vain. It’s a bit difficult for me to be happy and sad in a body like mine. I hope my father will make it happen.”
Zheng Qi thought about it carefully. According to the feedback from the teacher, although diligence can make up for weakness, the gap between genius and ordinary people is really incomparable. Some people can learn it immediately and can draw inferences from one example to another, but they can't help but accept it. It is a hurdle to become a Jinshi. It is really difficult for thousands of people to compete for a few hundred places. This was the situation when my son was released, and I felt a mixture of sadness and joy. Although the opportunity to honor the ancestors is right in front of us, there are some practical situations that need to be considered.
"My son is right. Today's situation is a bit dangerous. Now that you have thought it through, let's do whatever you want. Although our family is not rich, there is no problem in ensuring that you have enough food and clothing."
After listening to Lao Zheng's words, Zheng Xiong was still a little moved. He lamented his father's open-mindedness. You must know that even now many parents pin their regrets on their children and will not let go easily when success is right in front of them.
"Thank you, Father, for helping me"
"Now that you have grown up and become independent, and your family still has some savings, you should try it yourself first. If you don't become a father, it will still matter."
"Thank you for your concern, father. I know what I'm doing. Now that the world has finally settled down and there is a shortage of people everywhere, it shouldn't be difficult for me to become an official."
"Just be aware of it. It's getting late. Please stay with your mother. She was scared to death by you today."
"Yes, the child knows"
After saying that, he bowed, went to the back house, had a conversation with his mother and little sister, and then returned to his room.
The next day, the neighbors came to congratulate and organize the banquet. After a day of noisy activities, Zheng Xiong was a little tired, so Zheng Xiong took a good rest for the day. On the fourth day, he went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to report.
