All Heavens and Worlds Modified History System

Chapter 89: Regarding the Imperial Examination, I would like to ask Brother Yucun for help (for the leader? I will add more)

"In the best place in the capital, there are such evil people committing crimes."

Jia Yucun, who had once been a prefect, habitually spoke in an official tone, "Why don't you hurry up and report to the authorities? Call the police to arrest him. Wait!"

When I looked at Chen Ran before, I thought he was a troublemaker.

But looking at him again at this time, he was surprised to find that this man had a dignified appearance, extraordinary bearing, dignified and unrestrained, and full of heroic spirit.

Somehow, a feeling of admiration welled up in Jia Yucun's heart.

"This brave man." He shook his sleeves and stepped forward. "But is there any misunderstanding?"

'The changes have been made, and the rewards are now being distributed.'

'Note: A Xinglong Street property deed will be issued.'

That’s right, Chen Ran changed the word “feeling disgusted” into “feeling admiring” and gained a dog to boot.

Chen Ran ignored him but his eyes fell on the sedan chair.

'Why didn't Lin Daiyu trigger the modification? Was it the wrong timing, or did she need further contact?'

Lin Daiyu, in the sedan chair, quietly looked outside through the gauze window.

Although the screen window was dim, I could still feel Chen Ran's gaze.

"This person is so rude~"

When General Chen was in the Ming Dynasty, he could look at whomever he wanted, and no girl would ever say that he was rude.

But now things have changed and people have become different. I have become a gangster in the world of Dream of Red Mansions. It’s so infuriating!
"This warrior is Jia Hua, also known by the courtesy name Shifei and the pseudonym Yucun."

Jia Yucun smiled and bowed, "May I ask, sir, what is your name?"

"Chen Ran, courtesy name Zihou, also known as Jiaqian Jushi." Retracting his gaze, Chen Ran smiled slightly and said, "I live in Xinglong Street. If you have time, Brother Jia, please come and find me."

After saying that, Chen Ran glared at the servants from Rongguo Mansion whom he had swept out, then walked away.

After Chen Ran left, the maid who had been holding her breath before pointed at the servants and angrily cursed, "What a bunch of useless people! Five or six of them can't beat one person. Go back and tell the second grandmother, she will not let them off easily!"

The servants begged and pleaded with all the good words they could, and after they were paid a sum of money, they were persuaded not to sue.

The sedan chair and carriage continued to move forward, heading straight for Rongguo Mansion.

Chen Ran held the house deed and searched for the house facing the street.

This is a two-story building facing the street, with four rooms on the upper and lower floors and a courtyard at the back.

The area is not large and it looks a bit old.

But this is the capital, and owning a property here is something many people dream of.

Chen Ran, who had lived in the imperial palace and slept on the dragon bed, naturally didn't care about this. It was just a place to stay at most.

Some neighbors came forward cautiously to inquire about the details, and only relaxed when Chen Ran took out the house deed.

"Old Chen moved back to his hometown, saying that he left the house to his distant nephew in Chenjia Village outside the city."

"Chen Ran, from Chenjia Village."

"Oh~~~"

The system possesses the superpowers of a conceptual god. Since it has given a reward, it must have been properly arranged.

There won't be a situation where you get something but can't use it.

"There was a flood outside the city, and Chenjia Village was submerged, so I moved to the city to live." After a few simple explanations, he agreed to find the head of the village and the head of the police station to register when he was free, and then he went into the house.

The house was fully furnished, and there was even half an ounce of rice left in the rice jar.

Chen Ran skillfully lit a fire and cooked a meal. After eating and drinking, he took a bowl of water and then sat down in the yard to think about his next move.

"The main mission is to rescue the girls with names. I am a gangster now. Now that I have a house, I should not be considered a gangster, but just a hooligan. This can't protect the girls."

"We have to find a way to improve our status and gain wealth and power."

"Before the main mission is completed, the historical deviation value is very small, so you have to use it sparingly."

"Jia Yucun escorts Lin Daiyu into the capital. The plot has just begun and there is still plenty of time. Let's start by getting familiar with the environment in the capital."

There are two sides to the conversation, each representing one side.

Lin Daiyu was riding in a sedan chair and came to a wide street.

There are three large doors in front of you, the main door is closed, but people are entering and exiting the east and west corner doors.

There is a plaque above the main gate with five large characters "Royal Mansion Built by Imperial Order" inscribed on it.

The sedan chair entered the corner gate and was carried all the way to the hanging flower gate. A maid who was waiting there came forward, lifted the curtain, and helped Daiyu out of the sedan chair.

Entering through the hanging flower gate, walking around the marble screen in the hall, you will step into the main courtyard.

Several of the upper rooms were decorated with carved railings and painted buildings. On the corridors were hung many bird cages, containing parrots and thrushes of various colors, chirping and making a lot of noise.

Several maids dressed in red and green came forward to greet her, lifted the curtain and let Lin Daiyu in.

"My sweetheart~~~"

Grandmother Jia, with her silver hair, came forward, hugged Sister Lin and burst into tears.

She kept talking about Lin Daiyu's deceased mother, Jia Min, which made Lin Daiyu also burst into tears.

Not to mention the meeting between the grandfather and grandson, Jia Yucun presented his visiting card and met Jia Zheng.

The two sides talked and greeted each other, and Jia Yucun took out Lin Ruhai's letter and presented it to him.

"I already know about this." Jia Zheng finished reading the letter and nodded. "I will help when the opportunity arises."

The Jia family gradually lost power, and the most obvious thing was that there was no one in the court.

Jia Yucun claimed to be from the same clan and was recommended by his brother-in-law Lin Ruhai, so he naturally regarded him as one of his own and it was only natural for him to use his friendship to help.

Jia Zheng warmly invited Jia Yucun to stay for dinner, but Jia Yucun, who had something on his mind, declined on the grounds that he was looking for a place to live.

After saying goodbye, he took his two servants and went to Xinglong Street.

Chen Ran was sharpening a knife in the yard when he heard a knock on the door. He went to open the door and saw it was Jia Yucun.

"Brother Jia, this is..."

"Haha~~~" Jia Yucun laughed, "Brother Chen and I hit it off today. I have come to visit you after finishing my trivial matters. I hope Brother Chen will not mind." Chen Ran stood at the door, frowning slightly and looking at Jia Yucun.

"What can this guy be used for? What can be used for? "

'Although he is a commoner now, according to the plot, he will be reinstated as the prefect of Jinling soon, and he will also judge the gourd case.'

'Xiangling, and Xue Baochai?'

"If the prefect says so, I will arrange a better identity for you."

"Hahaha~~~"

When Jia Yucun felt uncomfortable being stared at by Chen Ran, Chen Ran smiled and said to him, "It's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. Please come in~~~"

"Okay, excuse me, excuse me."

Chen Ran had practiced the ways of the world in the Ming Dynasty, so it was natural for him to deal with Jia Yucun with ease.

The two sat down in the courtyard, chatted and laughed, and soon became close friends.

When it was getting dark, Chen Ran simply said, "Brother Jia hasn't found a place to stay yet, why don't you stay at my house. Places like inns are not clean."

"This is too much of a bother."

"It's okay. We hit it off right away and became friends. It's only natural for a friend to stay overnight."

Jia Yucun knew how to be an official and a man. He took out some silver and gave it to the servant to "go to the restaurant and order some wine and food."

There was a restaurant on Xinglong Street. When the servant came back, he was carrying a food box with four dishes, a soup and a pot of wine on the table. The two of them chatted while eating and drinking like old friends.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Chen Ran went upstairs to rest, while Jia Yucun and the servants stayed downstairs.

In the following days, Jia Yucun was busy running for office, while Chen Ran wandered around the capital, getting familiar with the local customs and geographical location.

The Great Zhou Dynasty at this time was different from the chaotic late Ming Dynasty.

The current emperor has been working hard to govern the country, and various places are gradually moving from turmoil to peace. Moreover, many military heroes are waiting for their chances, so there is basically no chance for newcomers to make a name for themselves by fighting in wars.

"It seems that if you want power, you have to go through the civil service system first."

"There are only two ways to become an official."

"Or maybe their ancestors had made great contributions and could be promoted to an official position."

"Otherwise, there is only the imperial examination."

At the home of the head of Xinglong Street, Chen Ran handed over his household register and house deed. "I am Chen Ran, and I moved from Chenjia Village outside the city."

"Okay." Chief A was over fifty years old, smiling and kind. "Let's go to the government office and change the household registration."

"Thank you, Captain Jia."

The two went out and walked along Xinglong Street.

Captain Jia introduced the neighbors on both sides of the street to Chen Ran as they walked.

"This is the family of Mr. Huang, a great philanthropist. His family is in the cloth business and they often donate money to build bridges and roads."

"This is Qian Erlang's house. His family has been selling pancakes for generations."

"This is He Laizi's home. He is a gambler and has lost everything in his family. I estimate that he will soon lose everything in this house. You must not play with him."

"Don't worry, Captain." Chen Ran said sternly, "I have an incompatible relationship with gambling and drugs!"

"This is Doctor Qin's home. Lord Qin is a doctor in the Ministry of Works and has a son and a daughter. What's going on?"

Chen Ran stopped and looked at Qin Langzhong's house.

If nothing unexpected happens, this is Qin Keqing's home. She is still unmarried.
"Nothing." Retracting his gaze, Chen Ran smiled and said, "Let's go to the government office."

When he returned home that day, he saw that Jia Yucun had bought a banquet early and filled the table with delicious dishes.

Looking at Jia Yucun's happy face, Chen Ran's heart was moved slightly.

"Brother Jia, is this reinstatement?"

"Haha~~~"

Jia Yucun was so proud that he couldn't stop smiling. "I'm so grateful to the emperor for appointing me to Yingtian Prefecture in Jinling."

It was clearly Jia Zheng who mobilized the Jia family's support to help him get his job back.

But when it came to Jia Yucun's mouth, he did not mention the Jia family's kindness at all.

From this we can see that this person is a heartless and disloyal person.

"Congratulations, Brother Jia."

"Brother Chen, today you and I won't go home until we are drunk~~~"

When the wine was in high spirits, Chen Ran started talking, "When I was in the village, I also studied in a private school for a few years. Brother Jia, do you think I have a chance to enter the imperial examination?"

Jia Yucun, who was drunk, looked at him and shook his head, "Difficult, difficult~~~"

"The difficulty of the imperial examination is comparable to thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge."

"How many students have studied hard for decades, but have not even had the chance to take the next exam. They have only studied in private schools for a few years."

"How about this, Brother Chen, come with me to Nanjing to take up my post and become my staff member?"

"You can go to Jinling." Chen Ran nodded with a smile, "But I'd like to ask Brother Yucun for help with the imperial examination."

He really didn't find it difficult.

It’s just an exam. Just find a way to know the questions and then go back to the modern world and ask a master of Chinese studies to write the answers.

As for how he knew the question, he had been wandering around the capital for more than a month and had gathered a lot of information.

The leakage of imperial examination questions occurred frequently during the Zhou Dynasty.

Once you know the question, you can ask someone to help you write the answer, or just copy it directly.

He never thought about studying hard for ten years~~~
"Okay." Jia Yucun burped, "I'll help you think of a solution."

A few days later, Chen Ran locked the door and went south with Jia Yucun to Jinling.
