In this scientific examination, Shen Yi really tried his best.
As for whether it is a hit or not, Shen Yi is not sure at all.
It's not that Shen Yi doesn't have confidence in himself, it's because the scientific examination is too difficult. There are at least about 3,000 candidates who came to Jiankang this year. According to the ideal admission ratio, there are only about 3,000 candidates. Two to three hundred people can become tributes.
One out of ten is not enough.
But Shen Yi is not totally without a chance.
His essay strategy this time has been very good, which can be regarded as a high-level performance of his personal level. It is entirely possible to win the tribute, but the ranking will not be very high.
But Shen Yi doesn't need to be very tall.
He only needs to blend in among the tributes and then take part in the palace examination.
After all, the palace examination is what ultimately determines the ranking of Jinshi, which is what determines the so-called first, second, third and third class. Shen Yi has already met the emperor and is very familiar with the people in the palace. As long as he can enter the palace examination, Shen may You can become a second-class Jinshi by relying on your connections.
But these are all things for later.
After finishing the exam, Shen Yi returned home and fell asleep.
It wasn't until noon the next day that Shen Yi got up from the bed. After getting up and washing up, he felt sleepy. After lunch, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep again.
After sleeping until the evening, Shen Yi finally regained his energy. At this time, the two little maids had prepared dinner. When they saw Shen Yi coming out, they immediately welcomed Shen Yi to eat.
After Shen Yi sat down, he stretched out a lot and said with a smile: "I had a good sleep this time. In the past few days, I couldn't stretch my legs while sleeping in the Gongyuan. I suffered a lot."
Shen Ling didn't go out all day today. He just watched Shen Yi at home. Naturally, he was also at the dinner table. He was eating at the moment. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "For this crime, I don't know how many people in the world think about it." I went to eat, but I couldn’t even eat it.”
He swallowed the food in his mouth and muttered: "My father came to Jiankang and took the examination five times. Although it was hard every time, he was very happy with it."
Those who can take the National Examination are all masters of public education, so they are naturally worthy of the envy of others.
After saying this, Shen Laosan looked up at Shen Yi, curiously: "Lao Qi, can you pass this subject?"
"have no idea…"
Shen Yi took a bite of rice to fill his stomach, and then said helplessly: "To be honest, I am not sure at all now, but now I think about it. In fact, it doesn't matter whether I win or not."
He smiled and said: "If we don't succeed, we might as well go back to Jiangdu to live together. Third brother doesn't want my sister-in-law's son at home?"
Shen Ling's expression froze, and he sighed: "Why don't you want to? It's just my father's character. You know it, Lao Qi. I'm afraid I won't have a good life after I go back. Besides, after the new year, Lao Qi and I will come out to be determined. To do a good job..."
Indeed, when Shen Yi brought Shen Ling out of Jiangdu, he painted cakes for him.
At that time, Shen Yi promised to take him out to make a lot of money. Now that the two brothers have been in Jiankang for a month or two, Shen Yi is busy with scientific research, so he can only put aside the matter of making money for the time being.
Therefore, after hearing these words, Shen Yi smiled dumbly: "Don't worry, Third Brother, I will rest at home for a few days, visit the seniors, and then I will take you to do your business."
When it comes to doing business, Shen Yi has absolutely overwhelming abilities in this era.
It's not that he is smarter than other businessmen, but he has mastered many business methods.
For example, find a sitter to fake the queue, or Shen Yi asked Xu Fu to buy couplets for free before the New Year, to attract traffic to his store.
These most basic marketing methods are very powerful business killers in this simple era.
What's more important is that Shen Yi now has some capital.
The most important thing in doing business is capital.
In the past, because Shen Yi had little capital, he could only set up a food stall with Xu Fu and a few other guys to make money. Now, through the unremitting efforts of those guys, Shen Yi has completed the initial accumulation of wealth.
Now he has the capital to do some business in Jiankang.
Because of this, Shen Yi dared to boast to Shen Ling at the end of the year that he had a business worth ten thousand taels in Jiankang.
"Things like doing business..."
Shen Ling glanced at Shen Yi and sighed softly: "Lao Qi, please don't touch it in the future. This thing is too dirty for you, but since Lao Qi you want to make money, I, my brother, will do this dirty work for you." Done!"
Shen Yi smiled dumbly and said nothing.
After the two brothers had dinner at home, Shen Yi stood up and stretched, then yawned and shook his head helplessly: "I just said I was full from sleep, but I feel sleepy again after eating something."
The eldest maid Qing'er looked at Shen Yi with some worry and said: "Master, you are probably hurting yourself by working too hard. Go to bed early and rest. When I was in my hometown, I heard from the elders in the family that you are very energetic. It's very difficult to recover if your spirit is injured. If your spirit is slightly injured, you won't be able to recover until you have a month or two."
Shen Yi listened to the advice, got up, yawned, and went back to his room to sleep.
Early the next morning, Shen Yi finally stopped sleeping in and got up early.
He is going to Dayifang today to find Mr. Gu.
Whether it was the provincial examination or the general examination, Mr. Gu helped Shen Yi a lot. Now that the examination has been completed, whether Shen Yi passed or failed, he should bring something to see his old man, and take the old man out to find a restaurant. It takes a good meal and a good drink.
As for Minister Zhao...
Zhao Shilang is still a little busy at the moment. If he doesn't look for Shen Yi, Shen Yi will not disturb the uncle who is about to take charge of the household department.
Shen Yi had just changed his clothes and was about to go out when the maid Qing'er ran in with small steps. When she came to Shen Yi, her face was a little nervous.
"Master, Master..."
Shen Yi frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Outside, door..."
Qing'er lowered her voice and said, "There are people from the palace who want to see you."
She paused and continued: "Yes...he is the one who came back to Jiangdu to see you."
When these two little palace ladies came to Shen Yi's side, they gained a "passive skill", that is, they could recognize at a glance whether they were eunuchs in the palace.
The reason why Qing'er was a little scared was because she was afraid that the palace would send someone to take the two sisters back to the palace.
Shen Yi didn't hesitate too much and walked directly towards the front door of his house. When he reached the front door, he saw an old acquaintance.
Sun Jin, the eunuch in the palace.
Shen Yi stepped forward, raised his hands to Sun Jin and said with a smile: "Eunuch Sun is not in the palace, why did he come to my place?"
Eunuch Sun was a little happy when he saw Shen Yi. When he saw Shen Yi saluting him, he also bowed and saluted. Then he took out several thick envelopes from his arms and handed them to Shen Yi. He lowered his head and said: "Master Shen, this is Materials given to the Young Master by the Di Newspaper Company..."
Shen Yi's face darkened...
I just finished taking the exam, and this newspaper company came to squeeze me again!
But then I thought about it, Shen Yi had "ideas" about the Di Newspaper Division, so now working as a hard worker for the Di Newspaper Division was not considered a disadvantage.
After receiving these "materials", Shen Yi looked at Sun Jin and said with a smile: "Didn't Eunuch Sun work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs before? Why did he go to the residence to report to the Ministry?"
"By order, I am now transferred to the Residence Reporting Department as an errand."
Sun Jin has a very good impression of Shen Yi and is very polite to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi blinked and asked with a smile: "Eunuch Sun is now in charge of the newspaper office in Di?"
Sun Jin hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head slightly.
"Back to Mr. Shen, the reporting office in the residence is not under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The servant is reporting to the office in the residence, which is to take care of things temporarily..."
