Concubine Mad Queen

This is definitely an act of kindness by the Liu family.

One must know that the reputation of the Liu family in the local area is largely due to the fact that they are a scholarly family, and there are some students in the family who are not well-known in the ethnology. They are more knowledgeable than the outsiders. Good news for Limin.

Because more students will be recruited, and more opportunities will naturally be given.

With such a proposal from the Liu Mansion, there is nothing wrong with it. The local government has helped the Liu Mansion to handle this matter, and the school was built very quickly. After so many years of development, the reputation of the Liu Mansion in the local area has long since been unstoppable. Same day.

And the imperial court also took care of some local gentry and famous families. As long as this Liu Yuan is not too poor in knowledge, he can actually become an official directly.

Cheng Qiandao: "This Liu Yuan has been called a child prodigy since he was a child. He is also the most famous and number one among the children of the Liu family in all aspects of learning. This Liu Yuan also has backbone and does not want to be courted." The quota was issued because he wanted to take the exam himself. With his knowledge, it is obvious that there is no problem, and he is the wave of people who are far ahead along the way."

"That wave of people?" Bingyan's words are a bit playful.

Cheng Qian smiled: "The one on the other side is quite famous in Jiangnan. This student's name is Chen Zhicheng, and his family has been in business for generations."

"Oh." This is interesting.

Workers in agriculture, business, and businessmen are very discriminated against.

It turns out that Chen Zhicheng's family has been doing business for generations, but no matter how much money this businessman makes, his social status is too low. Besides, in terms of doing business, he needs to be well-rounded and well-versed in all aspects. Relationship, this is a matter of knowledge.

And what could be more helpful than cultivating at home.

The Chen family has long wanted to support their own children to become officials, but the sons of merchants are not allowed to enter the court. Although this boundary is actually flexible in Tianxuan Kingdom, the rules are generally not changed. It is even more difficult for peasant children to become officials.

Later, the Chen family thought of a trick, so that they would separate the family, so that they would not be counted among the merchants of the same family.

And I don't know if the Chen family has done too much, or if they have caught up with good luck. The Chen family is really talented in learning. It should be said that Chen Zhicheng's father passed the exam in the previous generation. Juren, who became a small official, was even more lucky in Chen Zhicheng's generation.

Liu Yuan is famous in the local area, and this Chen Zhicheng is also famous.

Or that's the way to put it, these two people are rare enemies.

Chen Zhicheng has been very intelligent since he was a child, and since the Chen family wanted to train family members to become officials, they also spent money on training them. They found Kaimeng who was good at learning since he was a child, and after he was enlightened, he went to school. school.

Chen Zhicheng was discriminated against at the beginning. Even if his family was separated, it belonged to the merchant's house, but Chen Zhicheng used his knowledge to silence these people, and made his husband like him very much.

This Chen Zhicheng probably has a certain reason because of his inheritance from the businessman. This person is well educated, smart, and also likes to make friends, which makes him very popular.

Looking at it this way, apart from his background, Chen Zhicheng may have been criticized a few times, so basically there is nothing wrong with him.

But after entering the Liu Clan Academy, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, which can be compared.

Gradually, Liu Yuan and this Chen Zhicheng had the intention of saying goodbye to each other.

These two have been fighting, this time in the ethnology, if you are not number one, then I am number one, no one can compete with the other, but because of the competition between the two, they are even more famous.

And their competition went all the way.

In the local talent examination, you will be second, and when you go further, the other will be the first.

It is said that they will compete for the first place in this imperial examination.

After Cheng Qian became an official with Chang Changjian, he followed the original bachelor. As for the imperial examination, the former bachelor would naturally pay attention to it. He would naturally know a thing or two about the talents in this class.

Don't say they know everything, at least those who are more promising, or more famous, they will still know.

And after entering Beijing, if there are related students, they will rush to apprentice and so on.

So it's really hard not to know about such a famous one.

Cheng Qian couldn't help feeling a little emotional: "These two people are indeed very knowledgeable, but they are also really competitive. It seems that today's poetry competition will be very interesting."

Because originally Yun Cang and Bing Yan were supposed to watch it in the attic, the subordinates had to make careful arrangements for the poetry competition, and the two of them really didn't know much about it.

Yun Tan said: "Hey, there are these inside stories, so the excitement is even more interesting."

In the small garden below, the gathering time for this poetry competition is almost up, and almost all the people have come.

Basically, there are three areas with the most people, those around Liu Yuan and those around Chen Zhicheng. In addition, those who don't want to get in touch with anyone and who don't want to offend each other gather together, and there is a vague three-legged posture.

Those who can come here are basically the students of this class.

Although at this time, they were supposed to be busy studying, but if they could pass the exam, they would all be officials in the future. It couldn't be said that it was wrong to get to know their colleagues earlier.

Furthermore, if you are afraid of delaying your hard study time, you can also choose some parties to attend, and you can't say it's wrong to study hard in the room, but it can't be said to be right either.

This kind of poetry competition has been very popular in Mingxue Pavilion since I don't know when, especially those who are going to take part in this year's examination, they basically have to hold at least one poetry competition.

Normally, after the selection of Jinshi and the No. [-] ranking, the royal family will hold a banquet. Basically, the form is somewhat similar to that of Mingxue Pavilion. Of course, it must be larger than Mingxue Pavilion. .

Originally, Mingxue Pavilion had no intention of hosting a poetry competition with students, but it has become a habit over time.

This kind of poetry competition, firstly, is to establish a circle of relationships that may be established in the future. After all, people in the same class are more familiar and have more topics to talk about. It is always no big mistake to make a good relationship first.

The other one is to use this to become famous, cheer yourself up, and make a name for yourself. This will also help you become an official or worship a famous teacher in the capital in the future.

The third is to take the opportunity to suppress others, to give yourself confidence, and at the same time, to test the truth of others first.

As for the others, they are purely for relaxation. Anyway, this kind of poetry competition is a multi-purpose thing for some people.

It was even more obvious that Liu Yuan and Chen Zhicheng were different from each other.

The number of people who came was about the same, these people had been appointed and appointed in advance, and the stewards sent by Mingxue Pavilion came out and said that the formal poetry competition could begin.

When it comes up, naturally it can't be too intense or anything.

All the students, first they performed some small talents, some of them were not satisfactory, and some of them were really good.

No talent, not particularly arrogant, and no one will show it easily.

Cheng Qian looked at it with gusto, although his current status in the court is still quite low, and it is indeed impossible for him to rise to the top of the ranks just after he entered the officialdom, and he will rise to the top immediately, but there is still a future for him to follow the former Grand Scholars.

Cheng Qian was prepared in his heart. He was already very happy to be an official.

Although he had been hiding himself all these years, he didn't dare to reveal anything in the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of War, otherwise he might have been killed before he could pass the scientific examination.

But it has to be said that without Ding Shuang, he would not be so smooth.

To Cheng Qian, this hard work was not unacceptable, after all, he would get up in any environment these years.

But because of his contact with the former bachelor, he pays more attention to the students of each class.

He also noticed the matter of Liu Yuan and Chen Zhicheng when he heard others talk about this year's students.

He has also read the test papers of these two people before. Because of their different identities, the two people still have quite different ideas, but they each have their own conclusions. They speak clearly and clearly, which is also very exciting.

This round, Liu Yuan and Chen Zhicheng didn't make any moves, but the students below had let go a little because of their talent show in the first round. Laughter came from below from time to time, which was quite infectious.

In fact, in the attic, even if you are not in front of the window, it is not so strenuous to sit down and watch, but the atmosphere below is so lively, the atmosphere is driven, and it seems that just sitting and watching is not so much fun.

None of the people present were very constrained, and they were quite open when they came out to play. A bunch of men, a bunch of women, and a bunch of them gathered in front of the window to look over.

Ning Yue also pointed to the two waves of people in the field and said, "The one in gray is Liu Yuan from the Liu Mansion?"

Ding Shuang asked Cheng Qian to point it out just now, and he recognized it most clearly: "Yes, the one in blue is Chen Zhicheng."

Taking a closer look, they both looked really good. Liu Yuan was a little more bookish, while Chen Zhicheng seemed more relaxed and easy-going. Their personalities were average from this aspect.

After the first round of talents is over, everyone will go straight to the topic, the poetry competition.

Today's topic is about flowers.

There are all kinds of people on each side, and then it's Liu Yuan and Chen Zhicheng. The two played together. Waking up, or admiring.

Then the two written poems were lifted up, and someone began to read them aloud.

The sound was not low, and it could be faintly heard from the attic.

In this poetry competition, the most important thing is to conduct a vote to select the best, and then you can engrave it into a book at your own expense or spread it out, which is conducive to the students' fame.

But today, something went wrong in this process.

I don't know who said wrong what, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Yun Tan was overjoyed: "This is really interesting, let's fight!"
