(Words written before the text:
In fact, except for Duke Yansheng of the Kong family, Duke Chongyi of the Chai family, and a few heirs, the other titles in the Song Dynasty are not hereditary. However, according to the plot, let’s just pretend that the Song Dynasty is fictitious. All titles All can be hereditary. )
...
In the first year of Jiayou of the Song Dynasty (AD 1056), at the beginning of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, it was around 2:30 pm (9:30 pm).
Bianliang, Tokyo, west of the inner city, Zhongqin Bofu.
There are twelve levels of titles in the Song Dynasty, from top to bottom they are king, heir king, county king, duke, prefecture duke, founding duke, founding county duke, founding county duke, founding marquis, founding uncle, founding son and founding prince. male.
Zhongqinbo's Mansion is located at the third level of the Song Dynasty, with a rank of fourth rank and a settlement of 700 households!
It has been nearly a hundred years since the ancestors of the Yuan family were granted the title of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin in the first year of Jianlong (960 AD) and established the Zhongqin Bo Mansion!
Over the past hundred years, the descendants of the Yuan family have been more than successful, but not aggressive enough. They have never achieved anything better than their ancestors!
Bianliang City was originally the center of power in the Song Dynasty. If you were in it, if you didn't advance, you would retreat. In this generation, Zhongqin Bo's Mansion only has its superficial beauty, and it has long been decayed on the inside!
Under the night, this century-old Earl's Mansion smelled of decay everywhere, as if it would collapse in the next second!
The backyard of the Earl's Mansion, Wutong Courtyard.
This is the residence of Yuan Wenshao, the second son of Uncle Zhongqin.
Today is the day when Yuan Wenshao accepts his concubine in the sixth room. The concubine in the sixth room is the maid of Yuan Wenshao's biological mother, Mrs. Zhang. She has a low status, so she only set up a few banquet tables in the lobby.
Present were Yuan Wenshao's parents and Yuan Wenshao's direct siblings, while the person in charge of the wedding banquet was Yuan Wenshao's first wife Sheng Hualan.
It has been ten years since Sheng Hualan married into the Earl's Mansion at the age of fifteen.
Five years ago, she gave birth to her daughter, Sister Zhuang, and she was injured. After that, she had nothing to do. She was always criticized by her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang!
Therefore, she was unable to stop her husband from taking concubines, so she had to deal with it magnanimously!
Sheng Hualan, who is now twenty-five years old, is tall, has exquisite facial features, fair complexion, and picturesque eyebrows. She can be said to have a beautiful face! (See paragraph review for photos)
She is gentle and elegant, well-informed, and attentive. She has been in charge of the internal affairs of the Earl's Mansion for four years, and she has never made any mistakes. Her reputation as a virtuous and virtuous woman is well-known among noble families!
At this time, Sheng Hualan was wearing a smoky willow-colored silver-gold double phoenix brocade short coat on her upper body, and a light green long skirt with light willow patterns on her lower body. She had a cloud-like bun on her head and a gold silk inlaid with gems. Decorated with gold belt, the whole person is like a graceful peony flower, graceful, luxurious, bright and gorgeous!
From the beginning to the end of the entire banquet, Sheng Hualan was smiling and generous, without a trace of jealousy or dissatisfaction, as if the person taking the concubine today was not her husband!
Sheng Hualan didn't notice that there was a man in the table whose eyes would fall on her vaguely from time to time, with regret in the depths of his pupils. This man was none other than Uncle Zhongqin's nephew - Wang Yangming!
Wang Yangming, named Bo'an, is 19 years old this year. He is from the direct lineage of the Wang family in Taiyuan. His ancestors can be traced back to the seven sects and five surnames in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. He has a prominent family background!
Although this dynasty has declined, it is still one of the several big families in Taiyuan. It is a noble family that has been in the family for generations. There are not even 100 but 80 people in the family who are officials in the dynasty!
He also found in the genealogy a distant clan brother named Wang Anshi who moved to Linchuan, Fuzhou. Well, it was the Wang Anshi who later reformed the Shenzong Dynasty!
But this guy is only thirty-five years old now. He is serving as the fifth-level magistrate of Changzhou, and he is still more than ten years away from his peak!
But Wang Yangming will not take advantage of Wang Anshi, because if the reform fails, people will die!
Oh, you ask why Wang Yangming knows so clearly?
Of course it’s because he is a time traveler!
He traveled through time a year ago. The original owner's parents passed away four years ago. The original owner observed mourning for three years. Just after finishing his mourning period, he was taken away by a cold wind. Then Wang Yangming, who came from the 21st century and had the same surname, came through. Got it!
Wang Yangming accepted the reality happily, because in the 21st century, he was a migrant worker without a car or a house. But in the Song Dynasty a thousand years ago, he owned 50,000 acres of prime farmland, a manor, several mansions, and shops. Dozens, more than a hundred servants, hundreds of thousands of taels of cash, a perfect second-generation super-rich!
In addition to these material things, he also has an excellent skin. It is no exaggeration to say that he is more handsome than Pan An. All the ladies in Taiyuan rush to feed him!
With such excellent conditions, he originally wanted to lie down, but for some reason, he had a very good memory in this life and learned everything quickly.
With the idea of seeing the ancient imperial examinations, he studied a little bit about the Four Books and Five Classics, and accompanied several brothers of the same clan to participate in the Taiyuan Prefecture state examination in August, and he accidentally passed it! (The imperial examination in the Song Dynasty consisted of three levels: state examination, provincial examination and palace examination)
Hey, what a mean person!
To be honest, he didn't want to come because it was already the last years of Renzong's reign. In the next few decades, the situation in the Song Dynasty would change rapidly, become treacherous, too complicated, and too dangerous!
He is just a common man with no ambitions and no ability to save the world. He just wants to protect himself wisely and become a rich man. In the future, he will show his children a clear path and help them escape from the Jingkang Rebellion seventy-one years later!
But then I think about it, next year will be the second year of Jiayou, the most shining year in the history of Chinese imperial examinations!
In this subject, 400 people participated in the palace examination, and 388 people were named on the gold list!
Su Shi, Su Che, and Zeng Gong among the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, as well as the brothers Cheng Hao and Cheng Xi, the founders of Neo-Confucianism in the Northern Song Dynasty, ranked first on the same list!
A total of one famous general and nine prime ministers emerged before and after! Too arrogant!
The examiner of this subject is also a historical celebrity. His name is Ouyang Xiu! Well, he is the one who has some confusion with his niece!
Although Wang Yangming is not interested in becoming an official, he is still very interested in these historical celebrities. He plans to use the friendship of his fellow students to ask them to keep some calligraphy and other things as heirlooms in the future!
As for the provincial exam, just paddle in the water. Friendship comes first, competition comes second, and participation is the most important thing!
So, he came and traveled to Bianliang for three days to stay at his uncle's house, Zhongqin Bo. He also had an aunt, Mrs. Shoushan Bo.
He didn't know until he came, but when he came he was shocked and found that this seemed to be a world of knowing and not knowing, because he met Sheng Hualan, his cousin-in-law!
Oh, what a pity, she is already married, otherwise...
Fortunately, he went out to investigate today and found that the other three girls in the Sheng family were not married yet, so he still had a chance.
Hehehe, Minglan, Rulan, wait a minute, brother Yangming will be looking for you in two days!
Forget it about Sheng Molan. The girl is crooked and has a bad relationship with Rulan and Minglan. Her mother Lin Sushuang and Sheng Minglan have a murderous feud. It is better not to get together to avoid making everyone uncomfortable!
