A summary of scholars' history from 9 years to 16 years

1, the first time: Wang Mian is poor and good at painting lotus flowers. Jing Guan Su Wei wanted to meet him, but he didn't want to make friends with officials and gentlemen, so he had to go to Shandong far away. After the flood in Shandong, I can only go back to my hometown. The foster mother was sent to the end, which coincided with the Ming army uprising. Zhu Yuanzhang took the world and retired from Kuaiji Mountain to avoid his official career.

2. The second time: Tai Gongji wanted to hire a teacher for the children, and General Xia recommended those who were over 60 years old. When Zhou Jin was given a banquet, Mei Qing Jiu accompanied him, but Mei Jiu, as a scholar, played a trick on Zhou Jin during the dinner, saying that it was a good sign that she dreamed of a scholar.

Wang took shelter from the rain and passed by the village mat. He also despises Zhou Jin. He also said that Xun Zheng, a student who dreamed of Zhou Jin, was winning a prize, so he was confused. Zhou Jin was stabbed many times. Therefore, the villagers derided Xun Jiu as "Xun Jinshi", thought that Zhou Jin did it, and dismissed Zhou Jin.

3. The third time: Zhou Jin's brother-in-law and others pitied Zhou Jin, and pooled their money to donate a diploma for him to take the exam directly. After Jin Fan was admitted to Jinshi, he became a scholar in Guangdong. Jin Fan, a scholar, was admitted because of his pity.

Then I was recommended in the exam. Xiangshen Zhang came to make friends, give money and a house. This article embodies the abnormal psychology of literati who are eager to pursue their official career and conform to the trend of the times.

Fourth time: Jin Fan's mother suddenly got a rich house and domestic market, and died of excessive excitement. Three years after Jin Fan's mourning, Zhang Jingzhai followed him to Tang Zhi County, Gaoyao County, because the court ordered that the slaughtered cattle and beef could not be eaten.

5. The fifth time: After the case of Hui people was handled by the Tang magistrate, two people came to severely criticize the students. One accused Gong Sheng of robbing other people's pigs, and the other accused the students of extorting other people's profits. The magistrate ordered the arrest. Yan escaped for fear of sin. His brother Yan Jiansheng handled the lawsuit for him and paid for it himself. Er Gang's wife, Wang, died of a serious illness, and my aunt was helped as the first wife.

6. Sixth time: Yan Jiansheng passed away. Zhao and his younger brother discussed how to dismiss their posts. Yan Jiansheng's eldest brother Yan Gong Sheng came back from the imperial examination, but regardless of his brother's life and death, instead of arranging a funeral, he went to the provincial capital to arrange a marriage for his son. Later, Zhao's son died of illness, and Wang De wrote to Yan, asking him to come back to discuss the issue of heirs. At this time, Yan got married in the provincial capital.

7. Seventh time: Fan went in to see the tutor. Because Jin Fan was going to Shandong to learn Taoism, Zhou Jin asked Jin Fan to pay attention to Xun Jiu and let him go to school when he arrived in Shandong. At that time, Xun Mei and Wang Hui were in the same examination room.

They met the fortune teller Chen Li and made a divination for the future of Wang Hui. Xunxian's mother died, and Xunzheng and Wang Hui wanted to go home to express their condolences after the palace exam, so they wanted to hide their feelings, but they couldn't, so they had to go home. Wang Hui returned to the provincial capital alone after the government's funeral.

8. Eighth time: After Wang Hui returned to the provincial capital, he became the magistrate of Nanchang. When he arrived in Nanchang, he deliberately refused to accept the seal, and he didn't officially take office until Peng Taishou sent money. Later, King Ning rebelled and captured Nanchang, and Wang Hui surrendered. After Wang Ning's defeat, Wang Hui ran away.

9. Ninth time: On the way back to the provincial capital, Lou Gongzi met Zou San, the son of Zou Jifu, a servant who looks after the family grave, and said that he lived nearby. Lou's son then went into the house to visit. During the meeting, I learned that Yang Zhizhong was sent to prison for managing the accounts for others. Lou's son decided to save Yang Zhizhong, but Yang Zhizhong went home because he didn't know who saved him.
