Benya Shili is the second son of Li Bala who was bought. In terms of identity, Yanji is Benya Shili's sister-in-law.
Yanji knew very well that if Benya came back, he would never allow his child to live. At the moment, staying with Hashiha was his best choice.
However, will Hashiha allow his and Taiji's children to live?
Eseku has clearly warned himself that although he has no way to take action now, what about five years from now or ten years from now?
Yan Ji held the child deeply, feeling for the first time that he was so humble and powerless. All the struggles were just to survive.
But, it’s too difficult.
The Naadam Convention is bustling with excitement, including wrestling, horse racing, singing and dancing, and loud gongs and drums, all of which have nothing to do with themselves or their survival.
Mahamu watched Arutai, Yesuntai and others begin to leave the grassland. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He looked at Hashiha several times, hoping that he would just say a word or even make a gesture, and he would lead the people there. The Tatars are here to stay!
However, Mahamu miscalculated.
Ha Shiha changed his attitude and original intention and chose to let Arutai and others go back.
"If we don't get rid of the Tatars this time, there will be endless troubles in the future!"
Mahamu knew the strength of the Tatars and the ambitions of these people. When Arutai and others left, Mahamu found Hashiha, just to ask for a fight.
Hashiha praised Mahamu's loyalty and bravery with a smile, and then continued drinking.
Mahamu left in despair, looking up to the sky and sighing.
No matter who Yesuntai brought, this was all a Tatar trick and a means of self-protection!
A group of wolves left, and in a few years they would become a large pack of wolves.
"Hashiha sent a group of cavalry to the west."
Zhewuduo told Mahamu the information obtained.
Mahamu shook his head bitterly and said: "Shi Wuheng defeated Wala and Tatar in this Naadam Competition and won two first prizes. With Ha Shiha's big heart, he will never let this person return to Timur alive." Children’s country.”
Zhewuduo hesitated for a moment and said: "Shi Wuheng is probably the top master in Timur's kingdom. Such a person cannot be dealt with by thirty cavalry."
Mahamu put his hands behind his back, pondered for a long time, and said: "If Shi Wuheng returns alive, he will definitely tell Timur about the truth of the Great Yuan. Once that lame guy marches eastward to the grassland and marches into Helin, it will not be of any benefit to our Choros tribe. .”
Zhewuduo asked: "Do you need me to take action?"
Mahamu smiled calmly and said: "You should stay with me and let Feng Lu take the people. We will take action after Hashiha's cavalry and Shi Wuheng clash."
"If Hashha's cavalry succeeds..."
"Leave no one alive."
Mahamu said sternly.
Zhewuduo understood and turned around to convey the order.
The Naadam Conference showed the unity of Yuan Ting, but this is a play after all. The first half has been performed, and the second half has been prepared in the background. It won’t be long before these people will board the colorful stage to perform a performance. Either you die or I die.
People in the Ming Dynasty liked to watch operas very much. For example, Zhu Yunwen was sitting under a high platform, looking at the actor singing opera on the stage. The flower stick in his hand was dancing like flying, and he was more powerful than a monkey.
Concubine Ning was very engrossed in watching it, and would clap her hands from time to time.
This is Wuxian County, which is only thirty miles away from Suzhou. It only takes half a day to get there by boat.
It's just that telling stories on the ship for days without changing the background is not a problem. In addition, Cong Pei'er can't stand the loneliness, there is no one to play with her, and there is no space for her to practice martial arts on the ship, so she has long been bored. , How many times have I persuaded Concubine Ning to go ashore.
Coincidentally, Zhao Xiuming, the son of a gentry from the Zhao family in Wuxian County, took the exam for twenty-eight years and finally passed the exam at the age of 40. Then he opened the stage with great fanfare and entertained everyone.
We welcome all comers, visitors from near and far.
Zhu Yunwen and others happened to be hungry, so they had a meal and watched a show.
If you listen carefully to the opera and have the patience to listen and watch it, you can feel its different charm. However, the level of opera troupes in this county is limited. There are many "operators" in the capital, such as Murong Jing of the art troupe. My son, the singing is very beautiful.
Just because Zhu Yunwen was fascinated by it several times, Ma Enhui was worried, saying that there were so many beautiful women in the world and so many who could sing, but Murong Jing'er couldn't do it.
Being from a Jiaofangsi family meant that Murong Jing'er had no connection with the royal family.
Zhu Yunwen was very depressed. Could it be that being fascinated by the show meant he was infatuated with people? Then, if the idols of later generations are plastered all over the wall, will they become demented?
The drama in Wuxian County can only be described as so-so, just for fun and entertainment.
The song ends and everyone disperses, and the host appears.
"Everyone, everyone."
Zhao Dahu, who was over sixty years old, had a smile on his face, which was full of wrinkles. He bowed to the audience like a scholar, turning from the middle to the left, then to the middle, and then to the right.
The funny look of hunching over and spinning made everyone burst into laughter.
"Dahu, don't you know how to straighten your back and bow to the east and the west?"
Someone shouted.
Zhao Dahu did not feel dissatisfied at all. He stood up straight and shouted: "Liangzi of the Yang family, don't be jealous here. My son is a child now. Where is your son?"
Yang Liangzi stood up, put one foot on the stool, patted his thigh and shouted: "My son is studying hard. He will definitely pass the exam in less than two years! Your son has been studying for twenty-eight years, and my son is studying hard." Why can’t it work in twenty years?”
Zhao Dahu burst out laughing and said to everyone: "Everyone, let me tell you, the reason why my son passed the exam is because he is talented and smart, and he is good at studying..."
The corners of Zhu Yunwen's mouth twitched. It was July now, and this time was not the time for the college exams. If you were a child in July, there was only one possibility:
Record legacy.
The so-called recording of legacy is a make-up examination.
In other words, during the last college examination, you didn’t have time to take the exam due to diarrhea, forgetting to bring your admission ticket, traffic jam, etc. You don’t have to live and die at this time. If you wait a few months, if the province makes up the exam uniformly, you can take it again. participated……
Of course, this is also an exam for kindergarten to primary school, and it is very common to take the make-up exam.
However, although the exam is simple, you still have to write an eight-part essay. If you write an eighteen-part essay, you will not be able to pass.
If you fail, then you are not a child student, or you are not a scholar. If you are not a child student, then you do not have a ticket for the provincial examination. It is like skipping to third grade before you graduate from kindergarten. This is not appropriate...
Not all Tongsheng are children, there are some like Zhao Xiuming who are forty years old, and there are also those who are older than his father Zhang Dahu.
Zhu Yunwen can understand Zhao Dahu's mood. His children can finally go to elementary school and take the high school entrance examination in more than two years. The future is promising, how can he be unhappy?
only……
Concubine Ning looked at Zhu Yunwen and asked softly: "This is a good thing. Today there is an extra boy in the Ming Dynasty, and there will be an extra scholar in the future. Maybe one day, he can ascend to the Fengtian Palace."
Zhu Yunwen rubbed his eyebrows, glanced at Zhao Xiuming, a frail scholar in his forties on the stage, and said: "It is a good thing that the people attach great importance to the imperial examination. It is also a good thing that scholars are respected and scholars have status. It's just..."
Concubine Ning turned to look at the stage and asked, "Just what?"
Zhu Yunwen sighed softly: "It's just that you are obviously not interested in studying, so why do you have to sacrifice your mind and take the path of studying? There are thousands of families and walks of life. If studying is not suitable, it may not be suitable to do other things."
Although later generations advocate living until you are old and learning, you will never advocate living until you are old and taking exams...
"Life is short."
Zhu Yunwen was a little worried.
The biggest difference between studying in ancient times and taking the imperial examination and going to university in later generations is that the end of university is society, and the end of the imperial examination is to start all over again...
For example, Mr. Liu Yong, who "bears the false reputation and sings in a low voice instead of pouring a cup of wine", and Mr. Tang Yin, who "the Peach Blossom Fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms for wine money", these two have completely changed their lives since they cut off the imperial examination. There is no way out, and the rest of my life seems to be free and happy in a brothel, but in fact it is full of pain.
What is happy is the body, what is painful is the soul, and the destruction of ideals and ambitions.
For these people, without the imperial examination, their souls would be unstable, so whether they were wild or unruly or wandering around, they were just souls struggling under pain and oppression.
All of them seem to be stubborn. Without the imperial examination, it seems that there is no meaning in life.
This kind of persistence has created many talents, but more people have become cannon fodder. When the wind of history blows, not even a scum is left.
This is not normal.
"Tell me, what would happen if we set an age threshold for the provincial examination?"
Zhu Yunwen asked in a low voice.
Concubine Ning looked at Zhu Yunwen in surprise, waved her hands repeatedly, and said: "No, absolutely not. There are many people who are poor and talented, and there are many late bloomers. If we set a threshold, wouldn't it chill the hearts of students all over the world? Besides, the older you are, the more difficult it is. The old city is solemn and wise in looking at issues, so we should not be turned away.”
Zhu Yunwen was a little helpless. Looking at Concubine Ning's attitude, he knew that setting a threshold was unrealistic.
If there really is a threshold, it is estimated that Su Shi's father would not be able to pass the Jinshi examination, and their family would not be able to win the title of Three Jinshi in one subject, because Su Xun was twenty-seven when he studied seriously, and after studying for twenty years, he passed the examination. Already forty-eight...
In the words of the Three Character Classic: Su Laoquan, at twenty-seven, began to get angry and read books. Even though he is old, he regrets it too late...
Zhu Yunwen simply hoped that these people could learn from the future great talent Xu Wei, the first military advisor in Jiangnan. After taking the exam a few times and seeing that he failed, he decided not to take the exam. Instead, he changed his profession and became a master...
Isn't this the same as shining brightly and becoming famous all over the world?
Why do you have to have a beard? Your grandson is about to run away, and you still have to take the exam? This means that Zhao Dahu has a lot of money. If everyone is like Hai Rui's family, he probably won't even be able to afford a meal if he passes the exam, let alone talking about drama.
The crux of the problem is not that the status of scholars is high, but that the status of people of other status is too low.
