Chapter 1061: Zhang’s family is like a dragon (second update)
Chapter 1070: The whole family is like a dragon (second update)
Ranked under the Ministry of Rites.
Zhang Gen, who ranked first in the hall lock test, stood with his hands behind his back.
He remembered that his father often told him that if you can accomplish something, it will bring you a different experience than if you actually accomplish it.
The most fearful thing about mountain climbing is giving up halfway. The experience of climbing to the top is unique. Only after you try it yourself will you have your own understanding.
What you want to do in your heart must be unrelated to what you say verbally, and no one can reveal it. Therefore, words are used to make things secret, and words are used to reveal things.
Therefore, a smile appeared on Zhang Gen's lips, so he decided on a strategy early. After ten years of living in poverty, his articles were praised by Zhang Yue's disciples Chen Guan, Chao Buzhi, Qin Guan and others.
For a while, no one in the world took him seriously.
How could Zhang Gen be willing to let him take the exam and compete with the world's elites? So he made a plan early and tricked both his parents with the help of his father-in-law.
Zhang Gen bowed to Chen Guan, Chao Buzhi and Li Kui who had won the same subject.
"Where's Brother Qin?"
The three of them shook their heads: "Try again in the next subject."
Zhang Gen said: "It's bad luck."
Chao Buzhi said with a smile: "I can't believe that we are of the same age."
"I don't know how many people can be admitted into First Class."
At this time, the rich people at the bottom of the list saw that Zhang Gen, Chen Guan and others were so young, so they must be their son-in-laws!
So they all gathered around and pushed each other.
"Look here, gentleman!"
"My master is Lu Yuanwai from Beijing!"
When Zhang Gen met with the wealthy businessmen, he accepted all the posts and gifts they sent.
Seeing this, Chen Guan couldn't help but said: "You are the Huang family's son-in-law, how can you talk to these people?"
Zhang Gen said disapprovingly: "The quick son-in-law of Chenglong belongs to the quick son-in-law of Chenglong, and the receipt of the post gift note belongs to the receipt of post gift note. The two do not interfere with each other!"
Chen Guan didn’t know what Zhang Gen meant?
However, seeing the rush to send messages to Zhang Gen and the pair of beautiful eyes focused on Zhang Gen behind the car curtain in the distance, Chen Guan felt that he could not stop him.
Suddenly, all the powerful slaves who surrounded the wealthy businessman Zhang Gen were dismissed. Everyone saw who was so majestic.
But they saw rows of tall and strong soldiers arriving. If they knew each other, they would know that these people were Xihe's elite soldiers.
Zhang Yue, who commanded the Xihe Road army at that time, took them or their children into his home in order to provide compensation for the soldiers who died in battle and the disabled soldiers.
These warriors who had spent their entire lives in battle blocked their bodies and immediately no one dared to make any mistakes.
A soldier walked up to Zhang Gen, clasped his fists, and then made an invitation gesture to the carriage in the distance.
Zhang Gen knew that he could not escape, so he walked to the carriage, picked up his long robe, knelt down, and said to the woman sitting behind the beaded curtain: "Mom, I'm lucky that my child has lived up to his fate and won the first place in the locked hall test. Now I'm reporting the good news.
Mother!"
The seventeenth mother watched her son achieve such an achievement through the bead curtain, feeling proud from the bottom of her heart.
Seventeenth Mother said slowly: "What if my father is the prime minister, and what if my husband is the prime minister?"
"After all, it's not as good as my own son who can study."
"Today you can bring glory to the Zhang family, and my mother is sincerely happy for you!"
Seventeen Niang and Zhang Yue were indeed a husband and wife, and they spoke ordinary words.
Zhang Gen thought about how Shi Qi Niang had been supervising his studies every day for more than ten years and inviting the best teachers to teach him. She spent a lot of effort here.
"Who said that a piece of grass can repay three rays of spring? Without the mother's ear and face, how could the child be today? The child is like this today, which is not enough to repay the mother!"
Seventeenth Mother said: "It's good if you think so, and it's not in vain that I've taught you all the hard work. Come back with me and say hello to your father!"
Seeing that Zhang Gen didn't answer, Shi Qi Niang said: "Do you know why your father has complained so far?"
Zhang Gen was stunned for a moment and then understood.
My father kept saying that he did not want me to take the imperial examination, saying that I would compete with the Han family for fame and offend the royal family, but he still loved me deeply in his heart and would not hesitate to complain about it, so as not to let me be the son of the Prime Minister and be criticized.
.
But my father also underestimated me. I am someone who is afraid of what others say.
"Let's go!"
"Okay, my friends, I want to take a step forward!"
Zhang Gen got on the carriage as he was told, and saw the scholars on the left and right standing by the road to see each other off with their hands in hand. This was a sign of respect for the pioneers!
The people watching the excitement raised their fingers and said, "That person just now is the top one!"
Zhang Gen turned around and took a look at the list of the Ministry of Rites and thought to himself, this is the beginning of my career.
Zhang Gen returned to Zhang's residence in the Seventeenth Mother's carriage, and saw that the house was packed with guests. Zhang Gen said: "They are all here to congratulate my father, but not me."
The Seventeenth Mother looked up at the lintel of the Zhang family and said, "No, they are here to congratulate the Zhang family! Congratulations are the seeds of reading that our Zhang family has passed down from generation to generation!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Gen changed his lazy expression and said seriously: "Mother is right! My son has learned a lesson!"
When Zhang Gen walked into the palace, he saw many congratulators rushing to come to congratulate him. Seeing Zhang Gen bowing, all the guests said they did not dare and stood up to return the greeting.
Although no one was around to comment on Zhang Gen, he responded calmly and made all the congratulators feel at home. Beside him, Chen Mu, Han Zhongyan and other close friends of the same year as Zhang Yue met. Zhang Gen was really more decent and calm than Zhang Yue when he was a Jinshi.
Although he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, he is very familiar with all this.
The self-cultivation and tolerance of the children of such aristocratic families are sometimes something that younger generations cannot learn.
A good person is better than a good person. The prosperity of a generation of family requires the efforts and succession of several generations.
The Zhang family finally has the scenery of the Hairpin House today!
"What a good son-in-law, Anzhong has such a good eye for picking such a good son-in-law!" Han Zhongyan said with envy.
Chen Mu said: "He got there first, haha. It's sad, it's sad, but today I'm happy again!"
After speaking, Han Zhongyan and Chen Mu drank a cup together.
"I really envy him at his age."
"It reminds me of when I was a Jinshi."
…
"Reporting to the internal system, the Jian'an County Duke's house was full of guests today, and half of the street was blocked by cars and horses."
The servant reported to Zhang Dun in a carriage.
"I got it." Zhang Dun opened the car curtain and looked at the blocked street, then looked back at his eldest son Zhang Ze and his second son Zhang Chi in the car.
The second son also took the imperial examination, but neither of them passed the exam. However, they were not Yinzi. They took the normal way of taking the rites examination, so it was more difficult to get ahead.
Zhang Ze and Zhang Chi looked annoyed and ashamed at this moment.
Zhang Dun said: "The Ministry of Rites has just released the article on the list. I read the article written by Zhang Gen. It is indeed a pen that bears the heavens. The article contains the sun, moon, mountains and rivers."
"My cousin's success is indeed a great joy for our Zhang family, but we will not embarrass our father!"
Zhang Dun said: "Yes, if it were me, you would be embarrassed to death, but I know that you two are trying your best. Let's fight again in the future!"
The two sons were so ashamed that they wanted to crawl into the ground.
"Father and dad are both descendants of the Zhang family. Why can Zhang Gen get it but we can't?"
"I will study even harder this time when I go back!"
The two sons said this one after another.
Zhang Dun nodded and said: "My son, Zhang Dun, is capable of knowing his shame and then becoming brave!"
Zhang Dun thought to himself, among the younger generations of the family, you are chasing after each other, scrambling for the first place, just because they are afraid that others will be the first to take the whip, which is even better than having a Jinshi or a prime minister in the family.
What is the seed of reading? Either it will not come out for several generations, but once it comes out, it will flourish!
Therefore, after Lu Huiqing became a Jinshi, his brothers successively became Jinshi eight times.
As for my Zhang family... Zhang Dun smiled when he thought of this.
…
"Gen'er pays homage to uncle and aunt."
"Okay! Okay!" Zhang Shi was so happy that he burst into tears. The gray-haired Yu was also sincerely happy when she saw this scene.
Zhang Shi loves Zhang Genshi just like Zhang Zhi. Usually when Zhang Gen gets into trouble and is beaten by Qi Niang, he always hides in Zhang Shi and seeks shelter. But Qi Niang has a temperament that she won’t even blink an eye at with a knife in the sky, so she disciplines her.
It is useless for anyone to intercede with Zhang Gen, let alone Zhang Shi and even Zhang Yue dare not say a word on this matter.
So Zhang Shi could only watch helplessly as Zhang Gen was dragged away by Qi Niang to enforce the family law.
Whenever Zhang Gen was beaten, Zhang Shi was so sad that he almost shed tears and applied medicine to Zhang Gen's wounds himself.
Now that Zhang Gen has won the first place in the Lock Hall Examination, Zhang Shi can't help but be so happy.
He held Zhang Gen's hand and said.
"I am a good-for-nothing. I have never accomplished anything in my life. Compared with your father, your second uncle is far behind. Now that you have won the Jinshi, and your father is taking care of you, you will have a bright future in the future. I don't dare to say that.
Talk to you!"
"But you must remember one sentence, that is, 'Brothers working together can break through gold'! The future prosperity of our Zhang family depends on you."
Zhang Gen said with tears: "Uncle pulls the eldest uncle, dad, and takes good care of Brother Zheng. Without you, the family would not be what it is today. You are the backbone of the family and support the family!"
"I dare not say that."
Yu said: "Auntie doesn't have anything to say to you, but she remembers one thing, that is, 'everything will be happy when the family is in harmony'."
"Being reconciled to your wife is the greatest thing a man can do. Your father married a beautiful woman and is where he is today!"
Yu didn't finish her words but just listened.
"elder brother!"
It turned out that Zhang Cheng threw himself into Zhang Gen's arms and cried: "You ran away from home, which hurt me. My parents took their anger out on me."
Immediately, Zhang Cheng said proudly: "But I always remember your words, and I didn't say a word about your fault!"
"Well done, you can share the burden for me," Zhang Gen said. "In the future, when I become an official, I won't be able to stay at home all the time. You have to honor my parents on my behalf."
At this point, Zhang Gen's eyes darkened, and he regained his confidence.
He met Lu and his niece again.
"Daddy!"
Finally, Zhang Gen saw Zhang Yue, who was wearing a green shirt, and the room fell silent for an instant.
The congratulators all grabbed hold of the running nephew.
As soon as Zhang Yue arrived, the entire audience was in awe. At this moment, the father and son looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.
Zhang Yue sat on the chair and said, "Since you are determined to be an official, it will be different from what you were at home."
"You should think about the world 70%, and think about yourself 30%."
After saying this, Zhang Yue stood up and went back, but he heard Zhang Gen plop, and with his face full of tears, he knelt down heavily and kowtowed to Zhang Yue three times.
"My dear, thank you daddy for making me happy!"
Zhang Yue waved his hand and walked back to the room with pride on his face: "Remember to thank our ancestors for their blessing!"
…
Ten days later, the emperor sent tribute ministers to the Jiying Hall.
This was the first imperial examination in Yuanfeng's reign, and the officials came to Jiying Hall.
"Your Majesty, this is Zhang Gen, the son of Duke Jian'an!"
The official looked at the man who had been interested in becoming his son-in-law, nodded and said, "Everyone in the Zhang family is really like a dragon!"
Fortunately, Zhang Yue and Zhang Dun were at odds with each other, otherwise it would have been difficult.
