Now that he has finished the government examination and the college examination is expected to wait until next spring, Shen Yi no longer has the pressure to study. He has been tinkering at home alone for several days, trying to replicate as much as possible some snacks from his previous life.
However, his cooking talent was only average. After working on it for three or four days, he only made one or two things. After recording the production process in detail on paper, he ignored it again.
He is not planning to hand over these "new projects" to Xu Fu for the time being. What Xu Fu has now may be enough for the two little guys to keep busy, and Xu Fu also has a big project of "patent medicine" in progress. , there is no need to give them new things for the time being.
Shen Yi planned to take out the newly tinkered things after arriving in Jiankang Jingcheng.
After all, when it comes to wealth, people in Jiankang City must be richer. Some things may not make a lot of money in Jiangdu. After arriving in the capital, they may directly help Shen Yi achieve financial freedom.
As for whether he can go to the capital...
According to Shen Yi's own estimation, he has a high probability of passing the government examination. Even if he accidentally fails the government examination, he can still go to Jiankang in advance to see Jiankang's scenery.
Growing up, Shen Yi only went to the capital for half a month with his father Shen Zhang and his younger brother Shen Heng four or five years ago. After half a month, Shen Zhang asked someone to send him back.
At that time, Shen Yi was only about twelve years old, and many memories have been blurred. What's more, it was another Shen Yi's experience. The current Shen Yi had never seen what the capital was like.
I always have to visit the capital.
After tinkering at home for a few days, Shen Yi packed up his things and headed back to the academy because he was really bored.
After returning to Ganquan Academy, Shen Yi went to see Mr. Qin first. After confirming that Mr. Qin was still in the academy, he breathed a sigh of relief.
This little old man had almost packed up and left on impulse before, but was stopped by Shen Yi on the pretext of taking a government exam. Now that the government exam is over, Shen Yi is really worried that he will no longer teach in the academy.
Mr. Qin treats him well and is a very nice person. Shen Yi still hopes that he will stay in the academy. After all, the academy provides good treatment and allocates a place to live. If he really leaves the academy, Mr. Qin's life will probably not be easier than it is now.
Mr. Qin was quite happy after seeing Shen Yi. He pulled Shen Yi to sit down, poured tea for Shen Yi himself, and said with a smile: "All the other candidates disappeared after taking the government examination. So far, none of them have returned to the academy. Only Qilang, you are back, which shows that Qilang is eager to learn."
Mr. Qin smiled broadly, patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, and said: "If you don't say anything else, just because he is easy to learn, even if Qi Lang doesn't get the scholarship next year, he will definitely get it the year after that."
Shen Qilang nodded in agreement with a smile on his face.
Of course, he couldn't tell Mr. Qin that he went back to the academy because he was bored. After all, his home in Jiangdu only had a small courtyard and nothing else. In the academy, he not only had his biological brother, but also a beautiful junior sister...
Of course Mr. Qin didn't know what Shen Yi was thinking. After pouring tea for Shen Yi, he happily took a piece of paper and placed it in front of Shen Yi.
"Quickly, write down the test paper for your government exam that day, and I will show it to you."
Mr. Qin has been a scholar for more than ten years, so he is naturally qualified to read the test papers for Shen Yi. In addition, the relationship between the two is very close. Shen Yi did not waste any words. He picked up his writing brush and read the papers for the government examination in silence.
Although it cannot be said that every word is correct, the main body is definitely the same, and the difference is only seven or eight characters at most.
Mr. Qin took Shen Yi's test paper and read it carefully several times. There was nothing wrong with the scriptures and essays. But when he saw the strategy, Mr. Qin frowned, looked up at Shen Yi, and asked: " Before taking the exam, Qi Lang, haven’t you read Chen Fuzun’s Collection of Feng De?”
Shen Yi said with a smile: "At that time, everyone in the academy was reading the Fengde Collection. Naturally, my disciples had also seen it, and they had seen it a few days before the imperial examination. They were deeply impressed."
"When Chen Fuzun was young, he wrote an article on benevolence and righteousness, which was also included in Fengde Collection. Haven't you seen it?"
Shen Yi nodded, then looked at Mr. Qin, and said with a smile: "Since I have read Fengde Collection, I have naturally read this article. But sir, you also said that the article was written by Chen Fuzun when he was a boy. Now, Mr. Chen Fuzun has reached his age, and what he thought when he was young may not be what he thinks now."
"No matter how people change, they never change too much."
Mr. Qin shook his head and sighed: "You, you, he asked me to do it. I read your essay and it was very good. If the policy analysis can be written according to Chen Fuzun's article, the admission to the government examination should be 80% or 90%." Ten, now…”
"Now I can't tell you clearly. I can only wait until the incident occurs."
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and took a sip of tea.
The reason why he "takes risks" is not without reason.
He had read Chen Yu's article. Although the writing was gorgeous, the core content was a bit...childish.
As for Chen Yu himself, he had also met him.
Now Chen Fuzun's city is deep and watertight.
More than ten years is enough for a person to undergo earth-shaking changes, especially the more than ten years in officialdom.
Therefore, Shen Yi dared to take risks.
But at this time, naturally he could not argue with Mr. Qin. Shen Yi followed Mr. Qin and said a few words, and then persuaded him to stay in the academy with peace of mind. After Mr. Qin agreed to stay and teach, Shen Yi stood up and left with satisfaction.
After leaving Mr. Qin's residence, Shen Yi did not go back to the school, but went straight to Master Lu's study.
He and Mr. Lu already had an actual master-disciple relationship, so there was no need to notify him. He went straight to Mr. Lu's door and knocked on the door.
"Teacher, teacher..."
After knocking several times, the door slowly opened.
Miss Lu, dressed in light-colored clothes, stood behind the door with a feather duster in her hand. She opened her big eyes and looked at Shen Yi up and down, her tone a little doubtful.
"Senior Brother Shen, what did you call my father just now?"
Shen Yi was startled and took two steps back.
"Junior sister Lu, why are you here?"
Miss Lu raised the feather duster in her hand and hummed softly: "My father's study, why can't I be here? My father was invited to go to the government office to help mark papers, and Lian'er and I are here to help him clean the study. "
After saying that, Miss Lu looked at Shen Yi with suspicious eyes and asked, "You just called me "teacher", has my father accepted you as a student?"
"No no."
Shen Yi waved his hands repeatedly.
Of course, he cannot admit such things that have not been made public, nor can he make it public. The only way to make it public is Master Lu, otherwise Shen Yi will be suspected of "clinging".
Although Shen Yi did... cling to Mr. Lu, this kind of thing should not be too explicit.
He smiled awkwardly and explained: "I thought Mr. Qin was here with the mountain leader, so I called him wrong. Junior sister, don't get me wrong."
Miss Lu still looked suspicious.
She looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Didn't you finish the exam? You weren't at Jiangdu's house. Why did you come back to the academy so soon?"
As she said that, she rolled her eyes and said, "I remember, your brother also went to the academy to study. Did you come back to see him?"
"My brother is not young anymore. He can take care of himself. What's so great about him?"
Shen Yi looked at Miss Lu and smiled: "On the contrary, I haven't seen you for many days, junior sister..."
