The whole family traveled through time, and the best people were actually doing involution in ancien

Shen Mingzhu never thought that her name would be included in the ancestral hall. You know, in this feudal ancient times, it was extremely difficult for a girl's name to be recorded in the family tree and to be included in the ancestral hall.

If a woman wants her name to be recorded in the family tree and wants to enter the ancestral hall, she must have made great contributions to the family and have excellent character in all aspects. After discussion by the family elders, more than 90% of the people must agree before she can be recorded in the family tree.

Here, if a woman's name is recorded in the family tree, it means that this woman, like the men in the family, enjoys the right to inherit the family property and the right to distribute the clan property, as well as the right to speak in the clan.

Not to mention Shen Mingzhu, even Shen Laosan did not expect that the elders would agree to record Shen Mingzhu in the family tree.

However, this is something worth being happy about. Shen Mingzhu burned incense for her ancestors. Suddenly, when she knelt down and kowtowed to the ancestral tablet, smoke actually came out from the middle of the tablet.

"There's smoke coming out of the tablet. The ancestor has appeared. Shen Mingzhu is the lucky star of our entire Shen family."

"Look, look, there really is smoke coming out of our ancestral grave. It's Miss Mingzhu. Haha, there is smoke coming out of our ancestral grave. Our Shen family is going to be prosperous."

"As expected of Master Jie Yuan's daughter! As soon as Shen Mingzhu knelt down before our ancestors, smoke rose from our Shen family's ancestral grave."

Everyone was talking at once, pointing at the tablet and shouting in surprise.

Shen Mingzhu was completely confused. There was smoke coming out of the tablet. Wasn't there a fire?

Isn’t anyone going to check if the tablet is on fire?

The system smiled and said, "Host, the tablet almost caught fire, and I was the one who put out the flame."

Shen Mingzhu???

Seeing that Shen Mingzhu didn't understand, the system said, "Your ancestors can't bear your kneeling. It would be strange if the tablet didn't smoke."

Shen Mingzhu???

Amid the compliments of many people, Shen Mingzhu walked out of the ancestral hall in a daze.

She didn't understand what the system said, but it was enough to make her happy, Shen Mingzhu guessed in her heart.

Was I some important person in my previous life?

Shen Mingzhu returned home happily. The whole family from the second and third rooms gathered in the main room of the third room for a meeting.

Old man Shen said excitedly: "Now that I have become a juren, I can meet officials on an equal footing from now on. When I meet the county magistrate, I can communicate with him on an equal footing without having to kneel down and kowtow."

Shen Lao San smiled and said, "Not only that, in the future, you can wear more advanced clothes to show your status as a juren master."

“Puchi! Haha!”

Shen Mingzhu and Shen Mingyu couldn't help laughing.

When Old Man Shen saw his granddaughters laughing, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong? What's so funny?"

Shen Mingzhu explained with a smile: "Grandpa, Daddy is teasing you. You can wear the clothes of a scholar and show off. Haha..."

Old Man Shen... "I finally passed the imperial examination, shouldn't I go out and show off a little?"

"Should, should."

Shen Mingzhu tried hard to hold back her laughter, and heard her brother say in her ear:

"Passing the imperial examination means you have truly entered the class of scholars. Dad and grandpa can now receive court salaries, and our family can be exempted from taxes and levies. The sale of slaves is no longer restricted. More importantly, Dad and grandpa are qualified to be officials and have the right to be exempted from the imperial examination and to be recommended."

After Shen Mingshu finished speaking, he asked Old Man Shen: "Grandpa, you were able to pass the county examination, provincial examination, and metropolitan examination and get ten Juren among so many students. This is really worth boasting about."

Mr. Shen nodded in agreement, but Mr. Shen said, "I plan to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination next spring. Do you have any plans?"

Old man Shen gained confidence and courage, and he straightened his chest and said with high morale: "I will go to Beijing with you to take the imperial examination."

Shen Lao San nodded, and thought about the problem of their house, and asked Shen Mingshu:

"Mingshu, are you planning to study in the county town, or in the academy in the prefecture?"

This time, both father and son won the first place and were favored by the three examiners and even more so by the president of Rongshan Academy in the city. That's why Shen Laosan asked this question.

Shen Mingshu shook his head and said, "I won't go to the county town to study. As for Rongshan Academy in the prefectural city, I'll go there in the spring next year?"

He wanted to stay at home and spend more time with his sister and mother.

Shen Lao San nodded and said, "This time the prefect rewarded me with a house in the city, but I refused it. Should we go to the city to buy a house?"

"But I have a concern. If we pass the imperial examination in Beijing next spring and become Jinshi or Tongjinshi, we will most likely be assigned to a new post. We will have to move out of the house we bought in the capital before we even move in."

Su said directly: "Don't buy it in the capital, go directly to the capital to buy it."

Su's words of arrogance and wealth left Shen Lao Er and Zhong stunned.

Especially Mrs. Zhong, she just couldn't understand why the gap between the third room and their second room had become wider and wider in just a few months.

The third son has become an official, Mingshu has passed the imperial examination and become a scholar, and even the old man has become a juren. Only the second branch of their family is still farming.

Mrs. Zhong glanced at Shen Mingbao, hoping that her youngest son would work harder and be able to cross the class barrier through studying like the third son.

Shen Mingbao felt his mother's gaze, his body trembled, and he quickly shrank to Shen Mingyu's side.

When Mrs. Zhong saw Shen Mingyu again, her heart sank. Everyone in the third branch was smart and capable, and their family could never compare with them.

Forget it, just follow the third room and eat the meat and drink the soup!

Finally, Shen Laosan decided that he would go to Beijing to buy a house after the beginning of next spring, on the eve of the imperial examination, and then the whole family would follow him to Beijing.

The hometown is managed by the second wife and the village chief.

Shen Mingzhu came to Wang Mang's house today. As soon as she entered Wang Mang's classroom, she was stopped by Wang Mang.

"I heard that your father passed the imperial examination and your brother passed the imperial examination?"

"Yes."

Shen Mingzhu was thinking about it when Old Wang asked her father and brother what they were doing. Then Old Wang said:

"Bring them to me tomorrow. I'll see what kind of monsters your family is. How could your whole family be so smart?"

Shen Mingzhu? ? ? ? 1

The next day, when Shen Mingzhu brought Teacher Shen and Shen Mingshu to where Mr. Wang taught, Mr. Wang kept staring at Shen Laosan and his son. After Mr. Wang had some communication with Shen Laosan and his son.

Shen Mingshu was accepted as a direct disciple by Master Wang, which made Shen Mingzhu very happy.

Although her brother is very good at studying, he has no support in this world. Now that her brother has found a master-level teacher like Mr. Wang, it is equivalent to finding a big supporter for her brother.

Although Shen Mingzhu did not know the identities of Wang Mang and Shenggu, she had some guesses in her mind that Wang Mang and Shenggu were at least royal relatives.

Not to mention the issue of taking sides in officialdom, from the moment Shen Mingzhu's father and brother took part in the imperial examinations, they had to consider the issue of taking sides.

Ordinary people like their family who have no background, even if they pass the exam, will be fish on the chopping board of the powerful and have to take sides.

When Shen Laosan refused the prefect's house, he was giving up on being on the same side as the prefect.

Shen Mingzhu thought that it was difficult to have no one to back her up, but she had to be a support for her family.
