Chapter 205 Kindness
Yunmengxi was right, Chu Zhuang really hated Chu Lianqing.
It's normal for people to be selfish, but to the extent of Chu Lianqing's selfishness, some people are angry with God.
"Are you going to take the Enke exam?" Chu Lianqing frowned, looked at Chu Zhuang and asked coldly.
Chu Zhuang nodded, and replied, "That's right, after visiting my father, I'll be on my way."
According to the imperial examination system of the Dayue Dynasty, Chuzhuang had two options after obtaining the fame of a scholar. The first path was to participate in the provincial examination.
The second way is to go directly to Dongfeng Mansion to take the Enke Examination as a scholar.
Because the rural examination is only held once every three years, but this cannot meet the needs of the court to select officials, so Enke is added every year.
Scholars from all over the country can go directly to Kaifeng Mansion. If they pass the exam, they can directly participate in the general examination and palace examination in the same year.
However, although there are two paths, for Chu Zhuang, there is no choice at all.
Because the chief examiner of the township examination was Chu Lianqing, it was impossible for Chu Zhuang to pass the examination under his hands.
Therefore, Chuzhuang can bypass Chu Lianqing and take the imperial examination only by taking the Enke examination.
Chu Lianqing naturally understood what Chu Zhuang meant, so his brows furrowed even deeper.
"You were admitted as a scholar last year, right?" Chu Lianqing frowned and asked, not hiding the dissatisfaction and disgust towards Chu Zhuang in his eyes.
"Not bad." Chu Zhuang responded lightly.
Thinking that Chu Zhuang was only 16 years old and got the honor of a scholar, Chu Lianqing felt even more uncomfortable, and immediately reprimanded him: "I just got the honor of a scholar, and if I didn't study hard, I just rushed to take the imperial examination. So-called!"
Of course, Chu Lianqing didn't prevent him from taking the imperial examination because he cared about Chu Zhuang.
He hated Chu Zhuang, and he had allowed Sima Lianhe to harm Chu Zhuang for many years, so how could he be willing to let Chu Zhuang pass the imperial examination to get ahead?
There was a hint of sarcasm in Chu Zhuang's eyes, he didn't take Chu Lianqing's reprimand at all, and said sarcastically: "It's just to take the imperial examination, my father is too excited, people who don't know think that my father is You don’t want me to take the fame!”
Chu Lianqing was taken into consideration, his face changed slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "You haven't even taken the provincial examination, and you haven't obtained the status of Juren. Going to Dongfeng Mansion to take the scientific examination too early will do you no good. I'm doing this for your own good too!"
Good one for you!
"Father is worrying too much. The teacher said that I am ready to take the exam." Chu Zhuang sneered in his heart. This Chu Lianqing is really shameless, and he can say such a thing.
Don't say that Chu Lianqing has never seen Chu Zhuang before, even if Sima Lianhe and the Chu family treat Chu Zhuang like that, it is also his instruction and laissez-faire
It is simply disgusting to have the face to say such things for his own good now.
Yun Mengxi looked at Chu Lianqing's attitude towards Chu Zhuang, his eyes were full of anger, he had never seen Chu Lianqing care about Chu Zhuang for many years, and now he just met Chu Zhuang, and now he is going to block his future. Too much!
If Chu Zhuang hadn't held his hand tightly, he would have punched Chu Lianqing's annoying face with a circle.
"Teacher? The one who taught you is just a scholar. What qualifications does he have to judge whether you are capable of taking the Enke exam?" Chu Lianqing said with a snort.
Obviously, he also knew that Chu Zhuang was studying in the county school, and the teacher was just a scholar with little talent.
A scholar who didn't even pass the exam, he said that Chu Zhuang is capable of taking the Enke exam, isn't that a big tooth to laugh at?
"Father misunderstood, the enlightenment teacher is indeed only a scholar, but later I worshiped the county magistrate as a teacher, the teacher has a Jinshi reputation, I think the teacher should be qualified to judge whether I have the ability to take the Enke exam!" Chu Chu Zhuang glanced at Chu Lianqing and said lightly.
Chu Zhuang's gaze bypassed Chu Lianqing and settled on Chu Fengmao and Huang Chunhua.
The two of them had been scared out of their wits since the night they saw the will-o'-the-wisp, and they were afraid to avoid Chu Zhuang when they saw it.
Although they still look afraid of Chu Zhuang now, they are much better than before, otherwise they would not be able to sit until now.
Sure enough, Chu Lianqing invited some powerful people to give them confidence!
Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows, and secretly raised his vigilance in his heart. Before investigating the details of the Chu family, it seems that he still can't act rashly!
"County magistrate..." Chu Lianqing was slightly taken aback, frowned, looked at Chu Fengmao beside him and asked in a low voice: "Father, who is this county magistrate?"
who? "
"Yao Pingzhi..." Chu Fengmao whispered.
Hearing Yao Pingzhi's name, Chu Lianqing was slightly taken aback. He naturally knew him.
Although the two of them were not in the same class, he had heard about each other's talent and name when he was in Dongfeng Mansion.
People who are famous for their talents and learning in Dongfeng Mansion say that Chu Zhuang is hot enough, which is enough to show that Chu Zhuang can get the honor of juren even if he is the worst at taking the exam this time...
Not to mention that there is an extraordinary Yao family behind Yao Ping...
"He accepted Chuzhuang as a student?" Chu Lianqing didn't understand why Yao Pingzhi accepted Chuzhuang as a student, and asked in disbelief
Road.
"Well, I don't know either..." Chu Fengmao shook his head in embarrassment.
He is not too clear about things in Chuzhuang, especially about reading.
"Since your teacher said that you are hot enough, you can give it a try."
Chu Lianqing pondered for a while, then suddenly changed his attitude, looked at Chu Zhuang and said with a pleasant face: "It's just that there is no need to go to Dongfeng Mansion, Dongfeng Mansion is far away, you are young, what if you make a mistake on the way?" Is good!"
"The township examination will be held in two years. Why don't you just live in the mansion for two years and take the exam directly in Jiqing Mansion. With me here, I can take care of you."
Chu Lianqing originally wanted to forcefully detain Chu Zhuang and prevent him from participating in the Dongfeng Mansion, but now that there is Yao Pingzhi behind Chu Zhuang, he had to change his approach.
According to what Chu Lianqing thought, first leave Chu Zhuang in Jiqing Mansion, and when Chu Zhuang takes the exam in his hands, is it just a matter of his words whether he can pass?
Chu Zhuang looked at Chu Lianqing with a mocking look in his eyes.
This Chu Lianqing is as easy to deceive as treating him as a three-year-old child!
"Ha ha."
Chu Lianqing likes acting, but Chu Zhuang is getting impatient now.
"It's just a pity that I don't need my father's care anymore. The teacher's recommendation letter to Yushan Academy, I can directly enter Yushan Academy to study after I go to Dongfeng Mansion. , but Zhuang still has to go!"
Chu Zhuang directly threw out the trump card that Yao Pingzhi had prepared for him.
Yao Pingzhi knew that Chu Zhuang was going to see Chu Lianqing, so he was not prepared at all.
"Yushan Academy?!" Chu Lianqing stared at Chu Zhuang with wide eyes, shocked.
Yushan Academy can be regarded as a well-known academy. The students there are all from famous families, and the teachers there are all contemporary masters. All scholars dream of entering Yushan Academy to study.
Back then, Chu Lianqing was no exception, but he was mercilessly turned away.
Because a letter of recommendation is required to enter Yushan Academy, and this letter of recommendation is worth tens of thousands of gold, which is still worthless.
As a result, Yao Pingzhi gave it as he said right now?Isn't this too generous?
"That's right, it's Yushan Academy, so I won't teach you, father!" Chu Zhuang smiled.
No matter how thick-skinned Chu Lianqing is, he can't say that his teaching is better than that of Yushan Academy, can he? !
When Chu Lianqing heard that Chu Zhuang had moved out of Yushan Academy, he had nothing to do with him for a while.
After thinking about it, Chu Lianqing decided to let him stay first, and then find an opportunity to prevent Chu Zhuang from going to Dongfeng Mansion.
"You just arrived today. You must be tired. Stay here and rest. We'll talk about other things later." Chu Lianqing didn't give Chu Zhuang a chance to refuse, so he called his servants and asked him to take Chu Zhuang and the others went down to rest.
"I'm disturbing father!" Chu Zhuang took a deep look at Chu Lianqing, and left with Yunmengxi.
Staying in the Chu Mansion is exactly what he wants.
After all, he came here this time not only to see Chu Lianqing, but to avenge Bai Wanting!
Seeing the backs of the two leaving, Chu Lianqing's complexion darkened.
"Lianqing, what's the matter with you?" Chu Fengmao and Huang Chunhua asked worriedly when they saw Chu Lianqing's appearance.
"fine."
Chu Lianqing didn't tell Chu Fengmao and the others, but he had already made up his mind that he would never let Chu Zhuang go to Dongfeng Mansion.Chuzhuang now has the backing of Yao Pingzhi's work, once he grows up, it will definitely be a very big threat to him in the future.
"Ma'am, the door boy came to report just now, saying that Chu Zhuang came to the door, and now he has gone to see the master." Xia Liu hurried in to report
"Chu Zhuang is actually here?!" Sima Lianhe was taken aback for a moment, and soon came back to his senses.
Sima Lianhe used to be able to tolerate Chu Zhuang, but Chu Zhuang was admitted as a scholar at a young age, and her son Chu Zhangyang is not yet famous, how can she bear it?
"He came just in time!" Sima Lianhe narrowed his eyes and said with a sneer: "It's just this time to deal with their mother and child together! Let them go to the underworld to reunite!"
"Send someone to watch them, and report to me immediately if you have any news." Sima Lianhe looked at Xia Liu and ordered. "Yes, ma'am!" Xia Liu nodded in response, and immediately went down to make arrangements.
"Chu Zhuang, you are the one who bumped into my hand this time, so don't blame me for being cruel to you!" Sima Lianhe revealed a ruthless smile in his eyes.
She had already been murderous towards Chu Zhuang, and Pang Shan's defeat in Ming County made her fear of Chu Zhuang even higher. Although she lost the right to be in charge of the family, there are still many of her in the Chu Mansion. people.
Isn't it easy for her to deal with Chu Zhuang now?
