A car accident, our family of three crossed

That day, Hang Shuheng went to the county town. When he was talking with Zhou Huan in Jubao Pavilion, Zhou Huan talked to him about preparing for the autumn examination.

Hang Shuheng recalled that the last time he mentioned this matter, he seemed to be embarrassed to say more due to the presence of others, so he did not continue the topic at that time.

"Uncle Zhou, do you have anything to say?"

Zhou Huan did not reply to him immediately, but turned around and looked at Zhou Yin.

Zhou Yin understood what he meant, turned around and left the room, and stood guard outside the door himself.

Seeing this, Hang Shuheng raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the other party had something important to tell him.

Zhou Huan poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then said solemnly, "News came from the capital that the man is in poor health and may not last much longer."

When he mentioned "that person", he pointed his finger upwards. The meaning was very clear: "that person" was referring to the sky.

Who else could be the king of Dongli Kingdom? Of course, it must be the one in the palace.

Upon hearing this, Hang Shuheng couldn't help but become serious.

As a commoner and a time traveler, he knew very little about the affairs of the imperial court. Even if he knew about the past of some important figures, he only read them from the national history.

Zhou Huan continued, "At the beginning of this year, during the royal spring hunt, His Majesty was assassinated in the enclosure and was in imminent danger. It was His Royal Highness Ruirui who invited Senior Du Gong back in time to save His Majesty's life."

"Your Majesty was already suffering from an old illness, and now he has been assassinated. Although he has saved his life, even Senior Du Gong can't say how long he can survive."

"When His Majesty was sober, he restored His Royal Highness Prince Rui to the position of Crown Prince. Now, all matters in the court are handled by the Crown Prince."

Zhou Huan paused after he finished speaking, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then continued, "To be disrespectful, if that person can't hold on, the new emperor will definitely hold a special examination when he ascends the throne. By then, the autumn examination may not have to wait until next year."

Hang Shuheng listened in silence and continued to remain silent. He thought that the reason why Old Man Xin suddenly left without saying goodbye was probably because he received news from the capital!

Seeing that he remained silent, Zhou Huan asked, "Shuheng, what are your plans? If you decide to participate in the Autumn Examination, you must prepare as soon as possible."

In his opinion, if you can take the Enke this year, you can give it a try regardless of whether you are fully prepared or not. Even if you fail, you can still gain a lot of experience by taking the exam again next year.

Besides, Zhou Huan would not believe it if he was told that Hang Shuheng would fail the exam.

"I know, uncle. I know what's going on."

"As long as you know what's going on."

Zhou Huan believed that Hang Shuheng was not the kind of person who would speak without a clue. If he said he knew something, then he must have known it.

What they were discussing here was extremely outrageous. If it got out, they would probably be beheaded.

Therefore, the topic ended here.

Then Zhou Huan asked Hang Shuheng about his next plan, "Now that you are a scholar, you are eligible to enter the county school. What are your plans? Do you want to study at home or go to the county school?"

"If you plan to go to the county school, I will ask someone to write a letter of recommendation for you."

With the title of scholar, one is qualified to enter the county school. Moreover, scholars do not need to pay tuition to enter the county school, and can also receive a monthly allowance from the court.

But if you really want to get in, you need someone to recommend you before you can enter the county school.

Generally speaking, if a student in each academy passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, the dean or teacher of the academy, as long as he valued talent, would give the student a letter of recommendation.

Of course, for a wild student like Hang Shuheng, unless he was noticed by the teacher or the principal of the county school and personally sent an invitation letter, he could only use his connections to find someone to write a letter of recommendation in order to enter the county school.

If one has no connections or background, it will be a difficult hurdle to cross for students from poor families.

Even if one is lucky enough to enter the county school, it is difficult to integrate into it due to the huge gap in family background.

After listening to Zhou Huan's analysis, Hang Shuheng smiled sarcastically. It's all about the ways of the world!

Zhou Huan seemed to see through his thoughts and said objectively, "Although the atmosphere in the county school may not be very good nowadays, no matter whether those students got in through connections or some other means, one thing that cannot be denied is that those people do have real talents and knowledge."

What this means is that by entering the county school, you can meet more outstanding people and always learn something.

Besides, the teachers in the county school are all capable.

Hang Shuheng naturally understood this truth. He must have real talent and knowledge, otherwise he would not have passed the examination and became a scholar.

After repeated consideration, Hang Shuheng finally nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Zhou with the letter of recommendation."

"Okay, now that you have made your decision, the letter of recommendation will be delivered to you tomorrow at the latest."

The two agreed that Hang Shuheng would leave Jubao Pavilion after having lunch.

However, before Zhou Huan could send the letter of recommendation to Hang Shuheng, Hang Shuheng had just returned home when he received an invitation letter personally sent by the principal of the county school and a letter of recommendation from President Cao of Hongyuan Academy.

"Sir, this is a letter sent to you by someone in the county this morning." Whenever someone came to deliver a letter, it was Xu who answered it. Now that she saw her master coming back, she hurriedly took out the letter.

When Hang Shuheng received the two letters from Xu, he instructed Uncle Chai Wu to go to the county town and tell Zhou Huan that he didn't need to worry about the recommendation letter anymore.

Looking at the two letters in his hands, he was a little surprised, but not too surprised.

He had a brief encounter with Mr. Shen, the principal of the county school, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. The old man said at that time that he would wait for him at the county school.

Perhaps because it had been several days since the results were announced and he had not yet reported to the county school, he personally extended an olive branch to him.

When Mr. Shen sent the invitation, Hang Shuheng regarded it as a sign of appreciation for talent. He was not bragging. After all, he was the best in the entire county. It was understandable that the old man could not bear to see such talented people buried.

As for the letter of recommendation from President Cao, it was quite interesting. Hang Shuheng pondered over it and finally could only think of the possibility that President Cao did this to show goodwill.

Besides, he didn't think the letter of recommendation was sent sincerely for his benefit.

Previously, because of coercion and inducement, the relationship was very strained because he wanted to force the original owner to demote his wife to a concubine and marry Cao Qianyu.

Now that he has passed the college entrance examination and has a high chance of passing the imperial examination in the future, Dean Cao would like to take this opportunity to send him a letter of recommendation as a favor, so that they will not be at a loss for words when they meet again in the future.

Hang Shuheng curled his lips and smiled. These were just his guesses. He didn't care what the answer was. He turned around and took the two letters to the study and put them away.
