Chapter 247 What kind of talent is this?
"Grandpa, if my mother doesn't let me eat breakfast today, I won't eat either?" Cen Lin remembered it as soon as he heard it.
"No..." Old Mrs. Cen wanted to speak again.
"Of course you have to listen to your mother." However, Old Man Cen interrupted her again and said.
"Ah? No!" Upon hearing this, Cen Lin squeezed his eyes without saying a word, and tried his best to squeeze out two tears, then raised his face and opened his mouth and burst into tears.
"Oh, my dear grandson! Don't cry, don't cry! Come to grandma and eat! Don't listen to your mother! If she really dares to starve you, I will take care of her!" When Mrs. Cen saw her precious grandson crying, she quickly stood up, pulled him to her seat, and stuffed a steamed bun into his hand.
As soon as Cen Lin got the hot steamed bread, he immediately put it to his mouth and took a big bite, while secretly making a face at Gao.
Old Mrs. Cen glared at her fiercely, as if she would fight her to the death if she dared to stand up and snatch Cen Lin's food!
That protective spirit!
She had no choice but to look at Old Man Cen for help.
However, Old Man Cen lowered his head and began to drink his porridge without saying anything else.
When Gao saw this, she knew that today's plan was unsuccessful and she was so angry that she had to sit down and eat with a gloomy face.
After dinner, at the urging of Old Man Cen, she asked Cen Dajiang to drive the ox cart to the county town to find the Taoist priest.
She couldn't help but go to Yu Banxian's residence again, and unexpectedly, she ran into him.
Yu Banxian was a little surprised to see her, but soon greeted her with a smile.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Gao explained the purpose of his visit.
"You actually want to look for such a Taoist priest?" Yu Banxian was very surprised. He didn't expect that Gao's mind had changed now.
"I did this for my family. I just suddenly realized that what I did before was wrong." Gao said with a dry laugh.
After hearing this, Yu Banxian thought about it and said that he would take her to find a Taoist priest he was familiar with, who would definitely meet the requirements and, most importantly, be cheap.
Then, he seemed to casually ask how the second wife was doing now.
When Gao heard him mention the second house, it was as if something that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time had suddenly found a way to vent, and she spilled the beans, and told him everything that had happened afterwards.
Upon learning that Cen Dahai had entered the military camp and was being strongly stopped by Old Man Cen, a strange look suddenly appeared on his face.
But he said nothing, just comforted her with a few words, and then took her to find the Taoist priest she was familiar with.
When the Taoist heard that she came to ask for peace for her family, he was very happy and followed her.
Cen Dajiang did not go with them and stayed behind to watch the ox cart.
Seeing that she brought the Taoist priest over so quickly, he drove back home hurriedly.
The Taoist priest came to Old Cen's house and was pulled by Old Man Cen to talk for a long time. He finally understood that Old Man Cen wanted to curse his second son to die a bad death...
However, he had already received Gao's advice, and secretly changed the ritual of cursing death into one of praying for peace.
Then, he walked around the yard, pointed at a crooked and old wall, and said, "I think this wall of yours is saying that if the family is partial to each other again, this family will probably be finished."
The Taoist priest always spoke half of what he said and kept the other half. He did not say this sentence out loud. After Old Man Cen heard it, he fell silent with a thoughtful look on his face.
Gao didn't know whether he had listened or not.
However, after that, he no longer interfered with Gao's discipline of Cen Lin, and seemed to be much more attentive to the third house.
The days of the old Cen family were spent in chaos because Cen Lin was disobedient.
…
…
At Cen Yan's home, everything is normal.
She burned a stick of incense every day and prayed for Cen Dahai.
She also hired a hardworking and experienced person to stay at home and serve Li. After all, without Cen Dahai who was always by her side, she could not take care of Li by herself.
Recently, she has begun to help the village head improve the soil quality of these mines, and she is very busy every day.
Ji Yunzhan studied diligently every day to prepare for the next year's Tongsheng examination, and took time out every month to go to the county town several times to discuss business matters.
And one day, he came home with a court newspaper and showed it to Cen Yan first.
After reading it, Cen Yan remained silent for a long time.
Then she lit another stick of incense.
The war at the border officially began.
If nothing unexpected happens, Cen Dahai will go to the battlefield...
No one knows whether he can come back alive after this battle.
Seeing her silently sad, Ji Yunzhan couldn't help but raise his hands to hold her shoulders, and comforted her softly: "Xiaoyan, think positively, Uncle Dahai is a lucky person, and he will definitely return safely."
"Yes, you are right. My father will definitely come back safely." Cen Yan felt warm at heart when he heard that. He smiled at him and prayed again.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year has passed and spring has arrived.
Ji Yunzhan prepared for the imperial examination for a long time and went to the county town to take the examination for a student. He overcame many difficulties along the way and passed the county examination and the prefectural examination successively to become a student. He then passed the academy examination with the first place and officially became a scholar.
Before, he had always been unknown and silent, and no one knew he existed.
However, after this college examination, he became famous overnight and became the most sought-after figure in this year's provincial examination.
For a while, there was an endless stream of people asking who he was.
If someone with such talent could make some friends, it would be good to have one more friend to look after each other in his future career. Even if he fails the exam, it would be good to have one more good friend in officialdom to ask for help when he has something.
Ji Yunzhan stayed in an inn in the county town and was harassed for several days.
However, what lies ahead now is that he doesn't know whether there are too many people who want to make friends with him and he needs to socialize constantly, or which academy he should apply to next.
The reason why Xiangyao County is so lively is because there are several major academies here.
These academies each have their own merits, and it really gives him a headache to decide which one to choose.
But soon, something even more troublesome happened.
After several academies learned that he did not study at all... they all came to his house with money and gifts to snatch him away!
In the past, among the famous talented people in Xiangyao County, which one did not graduate from these major academies?
But now, here comes a person who has never been to a college, but relies on studying at home every day, without the guidance of a famous teacher, and can actually get the first place in the college entrance examination... What kind of talent is this? !
Several major academies were surprised and rushed to recruit the students.
And when has Ji Yunzhan ever encountered such a situation?
Fortunately, he was able to remain calm no matter what happened. After being visited by the deans and great scholars of several major academies, he successfully won the favor of the major academies and said without offending anyone: "Please allow me to go home and discuss this with my family."
