Shen Rui made a new imperial examination chart. Next year, he took the Boy Examination, took the annual exam, the Science Examination, obtained the provincial examination qualification, and participated in the provincial examination. The provincial examination is not like the Grand Prix, the Second Prix, and the Third Prix are very different. As long as he is on the list, even the last one will be successful.

The third great-grandfather of the second wife passed the imperial examination at the age of fifteen, the second master passed the imperial examination at the age of sixteen, and Chen Luo passed the imperial examination at the age of sixteen. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were all young juren.

Shen Rui ended when he was fifteen years old. Even if he fell for the first time, he was not afraid, leaving room for a course.

If you are lucky and pass the exam at the age of 18, then you will be suspended from one subject and take the exam four years later. At that time, it depends on whether the homework is solid or not, and whether the examiner's "text" can be understood accurately. If you have a clear mind, you will end up, otherwise you will wait for another subject until you are twenty-five.

The fourteenth year of Hongzhi is about to pass, and eleven years are left.

After Shen Rui finished the plan, he sighed in his heart, but he had no choice but to do anything. He thought it was too simple before, and he would not be able to slow down even if he was the age of the master here.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no such thing as the officialdom of seventy and eighty years old, who were still obsessed with power. Except for the cabinet ministers who were trusted by saints, most of the other officials retired at the age of sixty.

If Shen Rui enters the officialdom late, he will be difficult in the officialdom.

I took a day off today, and now I still have half a day of free time, so Shen Rui went to the room to say hello, took Changshou and Changfu to the Wang family.

After Wang Shouren returned from Jiangbei, he sued for "rehabilitation" after handing over his errands at the Ministry of Justice.

According to the rules, when an official is sick, he can take sick leave for three months. If the March is over, he needs to ask for another position, otherwise he will have a vacant position. Wang Shouren does not take a leave for three months, but is directly vacant due to illness.

Wang Shouren was indeed seriously ill, but it was not as serious as outsiders speculated. It was just that he was investigating the old prison in Jiangbei and offended too many people at once. The news in the court was a little wrong. Retreat like this was to save the father and son.

It was just a little aggrieved. He Yingzhi was accused of being engaged in a hurry and his wedding date was in the twelfth lunar month. Many people regarded it as the Wang family "confronting happiness".

In fact, the reason why the wedding date was set was that Wang Shouren had to return to his hometown to "retreat" after the New Year.

When Shen Rui arrived, Wang Shouren was sitting by the window, holding a book in his hand. After two months of rest, he had recovered from his illness, but he had never returned because of the amount of illness he had lost before. In addition, he didn't leave the house these days, his skin turned a little white and looked a little thin.

Shen Rui did not change his clothes, and was still the same dress as he was out for a guest in the morning. Wang Shouren put down his letter and asked him to sit in front of him, and smiled and said, "I'm going to the Yang family when I'm so serious about it?"

Even if the marriage between Chen and Yang families was not promoted, Wang Shouren knew about it.

He also agreed with this marriage.

The Yang family has a scholarly family and is considered a match with the Shen family.

You should know that the three current cabinet masters all worked in the Zhan Shi Mansion back then, and they were old friends when they took office as the crown prince.

Now that the three elders of the court are separated from each other, as the Minister of State, it is not appropriate to be tilted to each other. If Shen Rui’s marriage is inappropriate, it will lead the Shen family into the party struggle. Now that he jumps out of the three parties, even if the Yang family has a weak foundation, it will not be beneficial. Although Yang Tinghe is not from the Sandingjia, he is also from the Hanlin Academy and is in office as an Eastern Palace. He will be expected to enter the cabinet in the future.

Shen Rui thought of Yang Ting and his faint disappointed eyes in the morning and said embarrassedly: "Disciple is embarrassing the teacher again."

Wang Shouren sat upright and said, "What's going on?"

Shen Rui smiled bitterly and said about the morning's poem test. Wang Shouren shook his head and said, "That's your weakness. I have long told you to write poems diligently in addition to reading collections of poems... I have done a lot here in the past two months, and your academy is heavy, but I have forgotten this one..." Speaking of this, he said with some regret: "Sir Yang, I don't know that you have a hurry, otherwise you will be able to take the stage even if you can't get a compliment."

Shen Rui said: "The disciple was not in a hurry before. Even though he knew what he had made, he wanted to proceed step by step. Now he is a little anxious... It is not a matter of progress here overnight. There are only a few months left before the county examination next year, and the disciple is really inaccurate."

It was not because I was worried that the boy would not be able to try it, but because I was afraid that the grades were too low, so I asked the Yang family to despise it.

The father and son of the Yang family are the top students in later generations, and Shen Rui doesn't want to be the same.

Wang Shouren thought for a while and said, "As long as you go on the imperial examination, you can't get around the subject of a poem. Start with the child examination, and you must still be the same as before when you enter the Hanlin. If you don't make up for this, you will be over at the college examination. If you want to have a provincial examination and a provincial examination, you will hope to be missed."

When Shen Rui heard this, he felt a headache.

The current article is a fixed-style article. In addition to the level of solving problems, it also depends on the examiner's preferences. There are fewer texts on the test poems and can be higher requirements. If you are not careful, you will become vulgar.

It’s not that Shen Rui can’t do it at the moment, but he has no spiritual energy. He barely passed the test when he was in the lower grades; when he arrived at the provincial examination, he was incompetent, and compared with others, he became a shortcoming.

Wang Shouren looked at the disciple's frowning face and couldn't help but smile: "You are also stunned. Where did you do the cleverness of learning the article before? After all, the same time as the poems and articles are limited to the title and format, but the number of words is different. As long as you can make a bunch of flowers, who will tell you the words and understand the poetry?"

When Shen Rui heard this, his eyes lit up: "What the teacher means is that the disciple's previous method of "summary test" can also be applied to the test poem?"

Wang Shouren nodded and said, "What's wrong? If you do a test poem and do a bunch of flowers and flowers, you will be able to hide..."

Shen Rui was blinded before, and always felt that poetry was good and bad, but now he realized that he was just for the exam, not to be famous in the scholarly circle, but only for the examiners.

He stood up and bowed to Wang Shouren and said, "Teacher Xie's advice."

Wang Shouren said helplessly: "It's just a trick, but it's not a good thing... Since you are a weakness here, you have to play to your strengths and make up for your weaknesses. Otherwise, even if the imperial examination goes well, it will inevitably be careless for the scholars and the people will be reluctant to make friends in the future. Poetry and painting are not divided, and with the third master of the Shen family, you can be considered as the moon before getting close to the water. From now on, you will practice ten big characters every day. You should also be careful when you have time to show your strengths. As long as you can see, your weaknesses can be covered..."

After knowing each other for four years, Wang Shouren also realized that even if he was a disciple who was diligent in studying and outstanding in talent, he could not become Wen Kui.

Shen Rui lowered his hands and answered honestly.

Thinking that Wang Shouren was going to return home next year, Shen Rui said with regret: "It's a pity that my disciples will take the boy's test next year and cannot be with the teacher..."

Wang Shouren gave him a blank look and said, "I'm not going back to Beijing, what kind of childishness do I do? After two years, I will live in peace, and I will serve my grandmother to Beijing..."

Since the Shen family and the Yang family have already "see each other" and the two families have a tacit understanding, the news that Shen Rui is going to get engaged has spread among the relatives.

Even though Mr. Shen and Xu were his elder parents, they could make the decision, but it was difficult to skip Chen Li, who cared for Shen Rui and Guo. The place where Chen Li was told by Mr. Shen; Xu sent someone to send a post to Guo and went there in person.

Guo heard that Shen Rui was discussing marriage, but it was not surprising.

After all, Shen Rui is the heir and inherits the incense as the key. Now he will discuss marriages. It will be not too early to get married next year.

However, when he heard that the other party was only nine years old and was just a lady from the fifth-rank official family, Guo didn't show anything on his face, but he was surprised.

After all, women are different from men. A man can know people and affairs at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and a woman is too young to give birth. She thought that the second wife was anxious to marry Shen Rui. Even if she didn't find a wife older than Shen Rui, she would be similar to Shen Rui's age, but she didn't expect to be so much younger.

In addition, the Yang family is only a fifth-rank official, and is very different from the master of the Shen family. Even if he is a "low-father married woman", with Mr. Shen's current second-rank official, there are many choices.

However, Xu and Master Shen had already made a unified statement about Shen Yang's marriage, that was to make Shen Rui's studies.

After hearing this, Guo was not suspicious and secretly was happy for Shen Rui.

He does not consider inheritance of his offspring, but only focuses on Shen Rui's studies. His marriage also focuses on Shen Rui's future, even his biological parents, that's it.

When Xu left, when Guo and Master Hong mentioned this marriage, they were still very moved, and only said that Master and Mr. Xu were kind-hearted.

Master Hong is a man, with a broader vision and said, "Brother Cang is old and has begun to pave the way for Brother Rui..."

Chen Quan learned the news from his parents, and after the accident, he said unhappily: "This brother Rui is very strict and has not revealed any news before..."

The next day, I arrived at the academy and Chen Quan looked for Shen Rui, pulled him to a place where no one was, and scolded him for a while.

Shen Rui begs repeatedly and said, "Third brother spared this incident. It's not that he deliberately hid it from the third brother, but he didn't believe it before, so he didn't make any comments..."

Chen Quan sneered: "I'm just coaxing me, but I'm not a noble family. Will I still pick on you?"

Chen Quan has always protected his shortcomings, and Shen Rui couldn't say that he was being picked on by Yang Tinghe, so he said: "A family of women, hundreds of families are asking for help. People who choose son-in-law must be cautious..."

Chen Quan was just engaged and immediately reacted: "When did you take leave a few days ago, you went to see each other?"

Shen Rui nodded, and Chen Quan thought that he did not make a big noise before "looking at each other", and snorted softly, as if he had spared Shen Rui.

However, Mao Chi saw that Yang Shen still didn't give him a good look on Shen Rui, but Shen Rui was reluctant to let him go, and it was inevitable that he would be unfair. He had already advised him twice before, but Yang Shen did his own thing.

Mao Chi couldn't bear it anymore and complained to Yang Shen: "If you really have no similar tempers, don't get together. Why is it boring? Shen Rui made a mistake and made you so dislike him? If he had known this, he wouldn't have introduced you as friends at the beginning... He is not a child, so he will turn against him..."

Yang Shen did not answer, wondering if he heard it and did not come to Class Wu anymore.

Mao Chi couldn't bear it and said to Shen Rui: "Has I said it before?"

Mao Chi was devoted to being a friend, but Shen Rui couldn't hide it from him anymore, so he told the matter of the two families discussing their relatives...
