The second day after the announcement, Chen Yichen went to the two teachers to report the good news.

They were not surprised that Chen Yichen could win the scholar, after all, it was a foregone conclusion. But to be honest, I was still a little surprised and proud when I saw the students who could even get three yuan in small and medium-sized schools.

After reporting the wedding, Chen Yichen did not go home directly, but waited in the alley next to the Duke of Chengguo's mansion, preparing to have a meal with Zhao Hongjie and other classmates to celebrate.

Because after passing the exam for the scholar, Chen Yichen no longer needed to study in the private school of the outer school, and he could not go to the inner school to study with the Zhu clan relatives.

This means that Chen Yichen will be separated from this group of classmates just like graduation.

When the little brothers walked out of the corner to see Chen Yichen, they were naturally surprised and flattered them to the sky. Then the group found a restaurant and sat down, and started eating and drinking in the name of celebration.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone's cheeks were slightly drunk. At this time, Li Da put one hand on Chen Yichen's shoulder and said, "Brother, I may have to take a step first this time. I will go to the capital soon, and I won't have to learn any broken articles in the future."

Chen Yichen had already known this point when Li Da was going to the capital to enter the army, but he didn't know the specific date and decided so soon.

Although I haven't had a long time to ease my relationship with this guy, I've been classmates for several years and I don't know when I will see you again in the future. There is inevitably some separation hurt in my heart.

"Then I wish you success in the future."

Chen Yichen didn't know what to say in pretentious words, so he could only send a blessing.

At the same time, Zhao Hongjie also leaned over and said to Chen Yichen: "Yichen, didn't you recommend me to join the army and join the North and South Du Fusi last time?"

"I have also thought about it during this period and am planning to go north with Li Da and let my father enter the Nanzhen Fushi. The torture method of the Beizhen Fushi is still not suitable after all."

Before Chen Yichen could answer, Li Da said dissatisfied after hearing this: "A great military general is afraid of bloody scenes, and even the Beizhen Fushi Department dared not enter. If you encounter a sea of ​​corpses and blood on the battlefield in the future, would you, Zhao Hongjie, be afraid that you would be so scared to pee your pants?"

Maybe because he was used to Li Da's tone, Zhao Hongjie was too lazy to pay attention to him at all, and there was no risk of being beaten now.

"The Nanzhen Fushi is also very good."

Chen Yichen did not consider the prospects and power to prevent Zhao Hongjie from entering the Nanzhenfusi, instead of going to the Beizhenfusi.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and some people are naturally weak and timid, and are not suitable for the spy agency.

"But I can't bear to leave you."

When Zhao Hongjie said this, his tone seemed very low. He had only Chen Yichen, a friend, in a private school in the outer yard for many years.

Now that we are heading to the capital, it means that even the last friends will be separated.

"It's okay, people always have to grow by themselves. The capital is a broader world. I'm here to wish you smooth sailing in advance."

After saying that, Chen Yichen raised his glass and felt that the glass of wine today was particularly bitter.

It was not until the faint moonlight filled the earth that the group came out of the restaurant, and everyone was not very interested.

No one expected that the original celebration turned into a farewell to the end.

"The future is long, brothers, I will meet again in the capital in the future."

Before leaving, Chen Yichen acted very freely and used the title of brothers for the first time.

"Of course I have to see you again in the capital. I am waiting for you to come to the capital to take the exam!"

Li Da is also a free and easy person. He never likes all kinds of pretentiousness. He is very sure that Chen Yichen can pass the exam and then go to the capital to take the exam, so he won't be able to part for long.

"Well, Yichen, we will see you in the capital in the future."

In comparison, Zhao Hongjie's personality is much more emotional, and his tone is a little choked.

Seeing their appearance, Chen Yichen smiled, then waved his hand and turned around and left.

But after turning around, I suddenly felt a soreness in my nose. Maybe I was still lonely inside. It was not easy to meet a few friends who were talking, but I didn’t expect to part so quickly.

Life is still long, and the sadness of parting is short after all. Three days pass by in a flash, and it will soon be the day of the New Science Festival celebration banquet.

That morning, Chen Yichen wore a brand new scholar's uniform and a square scarf. According to the regulations of the early Ming Dynasty, scholar's uniform was equivalent to Wen Jiu's official uniform.

Of course, this was an early rule. After the number of scholars gradually increased in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, no one followed the rules on clothing. Almost all literati, regardless of whether they had fame or not, were wearing a shirt.

The celebration banquet was held in the Xuezheng Yamen. Sun Ding held a banquet to join the college and invited 120 scholars to the examination, including 30 of which were considered to be supplementary examinations.

In other words, starting from the initial county examination of 3,000 people, they were supplemented and eliminated all the way, and the total number was about 8,000 people and 120 people were won, with the probability of admission being between one and two%.

Many people may think this is not low, but considering that the overall literacy rate of the Ming Dynasty was only 10%, this is still the data under the promotion of novel scripts in the middle and late periods, and it will only be lower in the early and mid-term periods.

So this is why a mere scholar can change his class level.

In front of the Xuezhengya, hundreds of new scholars were waiting here, but no one entered early.

This is not because the banquet time has not arrived, the government office is blocking it, etc., but because they are waiting for someone. Only after this person arrives will the middle door be opened and the scholars will enter.

That’s right, this person is Chen Yichen!

As the head of the court's case, even the leader of the three yuan of small and medium-sized enterprises, Chen Yichen is the real protagonist of this banquet, and everyone else is considered to be accompaniment!

"Haha, Chen Yichen is so arrogant. All the new scholars have arrived, but he just didn't come!"

A scholar couldn't wait and couldn't help but start complaining.

"If you have the ability, you will pass the exam, so everyone can wait for you."

When the other person heard this, he immediately spoke sarcastic, "This is the case in the imperial examination these days, whoever gets the first place will be the boss."

Even if you take the palace exam, you must follow the new top scorer if you pass the Jinshi exam.

"Donghai, when the test was held in Titang, do you look at Chen Yichen, as if he is a talented person in the case?"

The student of Zhaowen Academy, who also took the Chinese scholar, was also a little irritable and asked Xu Donghai.

"I don't know, but he was the first to finish the article."

After several rounds of attacks, Xu Donghai used to be so arrogant that he is much more low-key now, at least he dare not arrange Chen Yichen casually.

"Donghai, I feel that you are much more low-key now, why are you sure Chen Yichen is coming?"

Hearing this, the students of Zhaowen Academy felt dissatisfied. He was already waiting for a lot of resentment and wanted to complain to Chen Yichen with Xu Donghai to vent his dissatisfaction.

As a result, the other party is not as arrogant as before. Is this arrogance?

When Xu Donghai heard this, his face felt a little embarrassed. He didn't want to admit defeat, but the situation was stronger than others, what could he do?

On the other corner, several familiar scholars gathered together to complain that they were students from Shangyuan County School and could be regarded as a university in Yingtian Prefecture.

"Xu Sheng, if Chen Yichen hadn't had a good relationship with the Grand Master, this case might be yours, so you still have to wait for him to show off!"

The Xusheng in this person's mouth is Qin Xusheng, the leader of Shangyuan County, the head of Yingtian Prefecture, and even Jiangning County was divided from the previous Shangyuan County.

In the past, the leader in the Yingtian Prefecture Imperial Examination was basically controlled by Shangyuan County, and this year it was taken away by Chen Yichen, the dark horse.

"Be careful."

Qin Xusheng is still relatively cautious. He comes from a poor family and does not have the background like Xu Donghai.

Duke Cheng Guo is now at the peak of his ministers. Even if he is a maid who is in the genealogy, he is not something that ordinary people can afford to offend him, so he should speak carefully.

"What's there anything I dare not say? Isn't this a fact? Someone has dug it out. Chen Yichen Master Lin Zhen has been friends with the Grand Master for many years. It's hard to say that there is no convenience behind it."

"Yes, although the case was closed by Duke Cheng's mansion was unclear, the leak of the examination questions was irrefutable. We can only blame the Zhu clan members for being too lazy and stupid. If you remember two articles, how could you use any bamboo ghost skills?"

Although the case of the imperial examination fraud case of the Duke of Chengguo’s Mansion was closed hastily under Zhu Yong’s power, the literati were not stupid. If there was no one behind it, how did the test questions leak?

Although Chen Yichen finally had no evidence to show that he had participated, he could never break the relationship with Duke Cheng's Mansion. In addition, after the examination, some people who were interested in digging down his relationship with Sun Ding and found that Lin Zhen was still the line.

Of course, this time the exam was effective, and no one dared to say the cheating clearly. However, the chief examiner's preferential treatment still thinks that is the case in many people's minds.

There were many discussions in front of the Xuezheng Yamen, but soon a sound of music interrupted them. At this moment, the vermilion middle door opened wide, and two rows of yamen runners walked out of it, which meant that the banquet was about to begin. The new scholars waiting for could officially enter.

Seeing the middle door wide open, some scholars subconsciously raised their feet and wanted to walk in, but soon found that no one was moving around them. Some of the quick-reacting people had already begun to turn around and look behind them.

I saw a young scholar standing proudly under the stairs, looking at everyone with a faint smile on his face and saying, "Sorry, everyone, it's too late to get down."

There is no doubt that the middle door of the Xuezheng Yamen was opened just to welcome one person, and he was Chen Yichen!

Looking at Chen Yichen standing under the stairs, most of the new scholars who were already full of resentment showed envy in their eyes at this moment.

No wonder the imperial examination will have titles such as the head of the imperial examination, the three yuan, etc., and the treatment of the leader is extraordinary. Many scholars will never have the glory of Chen Yichen today in their lifetime.

All the students are waiting and greeted by the middle gate. This is just a scholar. If they are the top scholar on the list of gold, I am afraid that the world will be looking at him.
Chapter completed!
