Be a master through ancient times

The masters of the county school waited outside, and couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the words coming from inside, and then cast their envious eyes on Master Qin with aspirations.Christians should be like this!

Master Qin's expression was complicated. He really didn't expect that Chu Ci would reject Zhu Tixue's proposal to give him the crown character.When he first heard it, he was indeed a little bit disappointed. In fact, he had already helped Chuci draw up the characters, and waited for Chuci's birthday, so he came to invite him to be the guest of honor.

But on the other hand, he is gratified by the excellence of Chuci, if he can get Zhu Tixue Guanzi, his future will be limitless.

The moment Chu Ci refused, he was actually angry, thinking that he was too affectionate and didn't know how to think for himself.But with that comes a lot of pride.In this life, receiving such an apprentice is enough.

At noon, County Magistrate Yang held a banquet in hospitality, and specially called the four of Chuci to accompany the banquet.Zhu Tixue also had a slight interest in the teacher Chuci was talking about, so he asked Kong Shanzhang to invite him too.

During the banquet, everyone exchanged glasses and talked about interesting things they knew.After talking with Master Qin, Zhu Tixue said, "I just now know why you, a student, defend you so much."

"The great master is too much, and the fools don't know how to be polite, and they offend the great master. Fortunately, the great master is magnanimous and doesn't care about him like him."

"Since you are a Juren, why don't you seek an official position?" Being admitted to a Juren means embarking on an official career. Even if you fail the test, you can still go to an official position.

"Thank you, Great Master, for your concern, but compared to being an official, the status of master is more suitable for me." Master Qin actually served as the county magistrate for half a year, but it was a pity that he was heartbroken by that time, so he resigned from office and returned to his hometown in anger. The wife of a wild crane is more at ease.

"That's true, but educating talents is also a great merit, and it's no different from being an official."

"..."

After the banquet, Zhu Tixue went to the lounge arranged for him by the county government, and then he asked people to invite Mo Daoist and Chu Ci to come over.

"Thanks to your disaster relief plan last year, Mobei's predicament was solved. This plaque is a feedback, are you satisfied?" There were no outsiders present, and Zhu Tixue just cut to the chase. He observed Chuci all morning and felt that he Not the kind of person who has no measure.

"Students are overjoyed to be able to relieve the court's worries, and now they have to be valued by the adults. I can't express my feelings for this plaque." And the children and grandchildren, and even the whole place can be blessed with it.

"Besides that, I have one more thing for you." Zhu Tixue signaled, and Taoist Mo stepped forward and sent two famous cards to Chu Ci.

"This is—" Chu Ci opened it, and suddenly lost his voice. This is a recommendation post, recommending the person holding the post to go to the Guozijian in Xijiang Province to study.

This Guozijian still only existed in the capital during the previous dynasty. Later Taizu came to power and said that there was only one school, and it was unable to recruit talented officials from all over the world. It was a misfortune for the court, so it issued an imperial decree to set up one school in each of the two adjacent provinces. There are seven Imperial Colleges all over the country, and the capital has only one.Students enrolled in it are called supervisors.

Everyone has heard the term "supervisor".Chu Ci even regarded "San Jiansheng Before Dying" as the content of an open class.

This word, in fact, can be equated with Ya Nei.Guozijian is the highest institution of higher education in the province and even the country. Only Gong students and Yin students can enroll, and they are collectively referred to as Jian students.

This tribute student is the candidate recommended by each prefecture, and nominated once every two years, one place at a time.Zhu Tixue's promotion to the Provincial Nomination Officer is already a certainty, so he has two famous cards.The behind-the-scenes maneuverability of this recommendation is very large, and it is no longer fair when it first came out.

Yinsheng is even more obvious at a glance. According to the ancestral official Fuyin, those who enter the school are Yinsheng. Of course, this official is only limited to officials of the fifth rank or above, and there is only one person in the family, and the descendants of the magistrate can barely enroll.

The students of Guozijian have several advantages. They can directly participate in the provincial examination without being restricted by the number of scholars.Those who fail the township examination can also take part in the scientific examination to make up the name of the candidate, and those who are successful can still participate in the general examination.This can be regarded as a benefit given to officials by the imperial court, paving a broad road for their descendants.

With this piece of paper, he can also rest assured to manage the Spring and Autumn Period. He doesn't have to worry about what to do if he loses the ranking. This is a way out.Of course, you still have to do your best in the township examination. The middle school and supplementary examinations are completely different things.No matter how good the supplementary exam is, it can only be taken as the bottom few. Unless you can still shine in the palace exam, you will be able to stand out.

It was only then that Chu Ci realized what he had exchanged for those few thin sheets of paper he had written.

Although other people will only benefit more, but he is just a scholar, if there is no recommendation from above, he will never be able to send that piece of paper in his life, so the gains and losses in it don't matter.

Chu Ci bowed deeply to Zhu Tixue, thanking him for his support.In ancient times when the hierarchical system was extremely strict, it was easy for officials like them to bully him. It was actually his luck to encounter such a situation.

After Chu Ci took his leave from Tixue, he went out with Mo Daoist.

"Chuci, thank you for your help, old man. Without the old man, I would not have what I have today."

Daoist Mo said with a smile: "It's just mutual benefit, and you don't need to thank me. On the contrary, I've got it all." Even if the difference is only half a level, it is a natural moat that most people will not be able to cross in their lifetime.

Before Chu Ci stepped out of the Yamen, a Yamen servant hurriedly ran towards him: "Is this scholar Chu Xiucai? The county magistrate invites you to the back hall to have a talk."

Chu Ci was helpless, as if he was in a hurry for the day, but he had no choice but to go.

County magistrate Yang was all smiles when he saw Chu Ci: "Old friend is here? Please sit down quickly. I invited you here today to discuss with you about going to Changxi Village to hang a plaque tomorrow."

Logically speaking, if Changxi Village has a "virtuous founder", then a memorial archway should be set up at the entrance of the village, and the inscription "Village of Benevolence and Kindness" should be written, and then the plaque should be hung in the ancestral hall of the Chu family for future generations to look up to.But the problem is that Grandpa Chu escaped from disaster, and his own tablets are all set up in the ancestral hall in the village.

It's too late to build a ancestral hall now, and the plaque can't stay here forever, so the magistrate asked Chu Ci to see what he said.

"Let's put it in the ancestral hall in the village. Chu Ci is from Changxi Village. The elders and neighbors in the village have treated me very well. Today Chu Ci is honored to have this plaque. We must let the people in the village enjoy this honor."

"Old friend, righteousness! I'll send someone down to inform you that tomorrow you will take the county government's carriage, so come with me."

"The old parents are loving, but the students are disrespectful."

"Oh, that's right. A few days ago, the manager of the bookstore came to the book office and said that the last batch of topic collections had been printed a few days ago. It's time to finish your embellishment. I will let you know later. The people in the bookstore will send it to you."

"Thank you old parents."

Chu Ci was secretly happy, the money came, and he could go back to the village to let his brother build a big villa.

……

There is a big event in Changxi Village today.Before dawn, the village chief asked everyone to get up and clean the road from the village entrance to the ancestral hall, making sure no stones or weeds were allowed to appear on it.

In addition, he also asked a few strong men to sweep the ancestral hall, cleaning the roof and beams.If he hadn't welcomed the officials from the county government just last night, I'm afraid he would have wanted to paint the ancestral hall another layer of red paint.

The villagers talked a lot, but they didn't know what happened.Someone with a heart saw the village chief's wife and her daughter-in-law going to the Chu family with things, and guessed that something good happened to the Chu family.

"Sister-in-law, this is a new dress that I just cut this month. I haven't worn it yet. Do you think it fits if you try it? If it doesn't fit, we'll change it right away."

"Sister Xiuniang, change the clothes on your body too. I have worn this clothes twice, so don't dislike me. I am bigger than you, so it doesn't matter if you are pregnant. By the way, I will give it to you The head of the house also brought a new set, you quickly take the inside and let him change it."

The village head's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made the three of the Chu family go crazy. What's going on?How can I give them clothes in a decent manner?

"You don't know yet?" The village chief's daughter-in-law said quickly, "Your second child... bah bah bah, I said that the scholar of our village was praised by the master Tixue in the mansion and gave him a piece of virtuous and square Plaque. It is said that there is only one person in a province every year!"

Mother Chu's head buzzed and she almost fainted.The wife of the village chief hurriedly supported her to help her calm down.

"What kind of plaque did my son really get?"

"It's absolutely true! You, just wait to be the old Fengjun, hahaha!"
