Shen Kang's face turned dark instantly.
He couldn't believe everything he heard and didn't want to accept the fact.
"Shopkeeper Sun, what are you talking about? A painting sells for fifty taels?"
Um!
Shopkeeper Sun carefully rolled up the painting and put it into a bamboo tube as a treasure: "According to the standards of this painting, it can be sold for at least two hundred taels. This is all for your sake!"
go!
Yu Tiance also hesitated to speak.
If I had known this, I should have asked for more!
But once you say it, there is no reason to take it back.
Shopkeeper Sun was also happy. He quickly walked back to the house and took out five 10-tael silver ingots: "Tiance, if you paint new paintings in the future, you must send them to me! The price is easy to say!"
"certainly!"
Yu Tiance took the silver ingot, handed it to Shen Kang twenty taels, and said proudly: "Father-in-law, from now on, my wife will never go back to borrow money again!"
"Let's go home, madam!"
Um!
Shen Jing turned around, took Shen Kang's arm, and said with a sweet smile: "Dad, don't keep fighting with Lang Jun, aren't you making money? One painting only earns fifty taels, eight brothers-in-law Can you compare? I’m leaving, dad!”
Creak, creak, creak!
At this moment, Shen Kang's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes again, and the two silver ingots suddenly fell to the ground.
The servant behind him licked his lips.
"Master, do you want these twenty taels of silver?"
"Who said I don't want it anymore? Pick it up for me!"
The hopes that the three servants had just raised were extinguished by a splash of urine.
Do you want to throw it away?
Shen Kang gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not done with this Biaozi. Just wait and see how I deal with him!"
…
After leaving Yanyun Painting Gallery and returning home, Yu Tiance handed the remaining thirty taels of silver ingots to Shen Jing.
"Madam, you are in charge of the money in our house from now on! Buy whatever you like. If I run out of money, I will paint again. Whatever the eight sisters have, we have to have it!"
Hmm~
Buy whatever you like?
Shen Jing held three silver ingots and froze on the spot.
Lang Jun really didn’t brag before!
Yu Tiance returned to the room, sat down quietly, and searched for the memory of the original owner.
The original owner still had knowledge in his mind.
After all, his father was a county magistrate, and he had been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and he knew them by heart.
In Yu Tiance's view, the original owner was tortured by Shen Kang, his father-in-law. He wanted to pass every imperial examination and was under too much pressure, which led to frequent defeats and loss of reputation.
But you must know that he is not the Yu Tiance he used to be. He would only accept everything he did to his husband and brothers-in-law. Those clowns could not mess up his mind at all.
Looking for the memory of the original owner, Yu Tiance found the four books and five classics mainly used in the imperial examination in the book box and placed them on the table.
"There are three days left, hurry up and review!"
With the help of the original owner's knowledge, Yu Tiance understood how far and rugged the next road was.
First of all, the imperial examination has requirements for household registration.
Those with industrial or commercial household registration are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination.
These two categories can be inspected, recommended by officials, or become officials.
But the probability of a thousand-mile horse encountering Bole is very small.
During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, the famous poet Li Bai lived in Chang'an because he was the son of a merchant, but his talent was hampered by his background.
Because he could not take part in the imperial examination, Li Bai was lucky enough to meet He Zhizhang when he was middle-aged, and was recommended by He Zhizhang to enter the court.
It can be seen how low the status of businessmen is...
Secondly, the imperial examination was divided into many levels.
It can be roughly divided into four steps: hospital examination, rural examination, general examination and palace examination.
The county examination is not an imperial examination stipulated by the Ministry of Rites, but only by passing the county examination can one be called a child student and be qualified to participate in the imperial examination.
This child is not a child.
Some people who are seventy or eighty years old and whose hair has turned white but have not yet passed the examination will be called Tongsheng.
Then there is the prefecture examination, which is equivalent to the knockout round before the college examination, and is located in the government office of Fucheng.
It varies from place to place. If there are few children this year and the examination room can accommodate it, the governor of each prefecture can decide whether to cancel the examination.
Next, is the first level of the imperial examination - the college examination.
After passing the exam, you are called a student member, commonly known as a "scholar". You can meet officials without kneeling, you can serve as staff for officials, you can also receive a small amount of broken silver every year, you can also open a private school to teach, and you are also eligible to enter a county school or a government school. study.
Only scholars who have achieved scholar status are eligible to participate in the provincial examinations held every three years in various provinces.
Because the provincial examination is held in autumn, it is also called "Autumn Wei".
The rural examination is divided into main and supplementary examinations.
Scholars entered into the main list were promoted to "Ju Ren", and the first place was called "Jie Yuan".
Scholars who are included in the attached list are called "Gongsheng" and can apply for teaching assistant positions in government-run county schools.
The subsequent examinations will be held in spring, also known as "Chun Wei".
The examination was conducted in Beijing and was presided over by the Ministry of Etiquette. The emperor appointed the examiner. Those who passed the examination were called "Gongshi", and the first one was named Huiyuan.
At this point, the youngest is also a county magistrate.
Next, is the ultimate battle for scholars - the imperial examination.
The Imperial Examination is a ranking examination, and those who succeed are collectively called Jinshi.
In the palace examination, admission is divided into top three.
The first one will be awarded the title of Jinshi, and three students will be admitted.
The first one is named the Number One Scholar, the second one is named the Second Prize, and the third one is named the Third Flower. Together they are called Sanding Jia.
The second one is to be a Jinshi.
The third one was given the same background as a Jinshi.
A number of people are admitted to the top two and three tops, and these people are called "emperor's disciples".
The road to the imperial examination is not that easy. Talent, perseverance, perseverance, and luck are all indispensable.
At present, these are still too far away from him. The top priority is how to pass the county examination and become a child student.
Then take advantage of these three days of review time, memorize it as soon as possible, and sharpen your guns before the battle, and the unhappiness will be over!
…
Shen Mansion, main hall.
Shen Kang punched the table, causing the tea that the maid had just made to spill.
"Bastard! This bastard! After all these years, I didn't even know he still had this ability! It's not going to be easy now, he's not short of money anymore!"
"Old Shen, you accepted the bride price two years ago, so you can't break your promise, right?"
There are four major families in Xinfeng County.
Shen Kang in the north city, Jiang Hong in the south city, Wang Chuan in the west city, and Jiang Feng in the east city.
These four families not only have great wealth, but also have "connections" that can make them money in Luoyang, the eastern capital.
The Liu family opened a large gambling house and was not short of money.
His son Jiang Nan was a talented person. He was studying poetry at the age of six, writing at the age of eight, painting at the age of ten, and also had some martial arts.
What's uncomfortable is that I'm optimistic about a married woman.
He was the only son of the Jiang family, so Jiang Hong had no choice but to look for Shen Kang over and over again.
"Lao Jiang, don't worry! There's nothing I, Shen Kang, want to do that I can't do! He insulted me a few days ago, and my heart still hurts! Regardless of your face, I have to mess with him. both!"
oh!
Jiang Hong stood up and bowed: "Brother, with your words, I feel relieved!"
Shen Kang's eyes were determined and he clenched his fists.
At first, he just saw that Yu Tiance had a father who was a county magistrate. Although the Yu family was poor, they were still officials after all. If his daughter married, he could still take care of the family.
Who knew that the old county magistrate's life was so short?
At present, it seems that it is no longer possible to squeeze the young couple financially.
Thinking of this, Shen Kang suddenly slapped the table.
"Old Jiang, I have an idea!"
