Chapter 190: Virtuous and Righteous (2nd Watch)
After experiencing that scene in the examination room, Lin Yanchao still took the first class. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He won the second place in the college examination and was a member of the county school, and this time he won the first class in the annual examination, and this result is enough to convince anyone of Lin Yanchao's talent.
At that moment, Weng Zhengchun, Gong Zinan, Chen Yinglong and other students who were good friends with Lin Yanchao came forward to congratulate him. And Sun Xiucai and Xu Ziyi looked at Lin Yanchao proudly, but it was like drinking a bowl of bitter wine, and it was very bitter from the mouth to the bottom of the heart.
Later, Tao Tixue gave a banquet in the school palace to reward the students who passed the first class. The rest of the students dispersed, and they all looked at those who had passed the first-class examination with envy. This is a good opportunity to get close to Taoti and such a big man.
Now in the school palace, everyone is feasting.
At the banquet, Lin Yanchao, as the youngest disciple, logically wanted to give wine to all living beings. But none of the first-class students dared to hold it up, and such a young student was ranked first-class in the annual examination, who dared to despise it.
When Lin Yanchao was drinking, everyone was holding the cup with both hands, the etiquette was not lacking, and the mouth was humble. Everyone was polite, and Lin Yanchao also filled everyone with wine one by one.
During the wine, Lin Yanchao looked at the seat.
Most of the first-class students are still students from the prefecture and county schools, and as for hyperplasia, there are also several epistudents. Chen Yinglong, a classmate of Lianjiang Academy, was also among them, and after the examination of his college, he was made up for the last epiphysia, and it was only half a year before he was promoted to hyperplasia.
After the banquet, Lin Yanchao was left by Tao Tixue to narrate.
in the house.
Lin Yanchao sat respectfully on the chair, and his buttocks were just next to each other.
Tao Tixue smiled, took a letter from the case, handed it to him and said, "Look at this letter!" ”
After Lin Yanchao took the letter with both hands and read it, he did not express his position immediately, but folded the letter and handed it back to Tao Tixue, and then said, "Great Grandmaster." The letter is really slanderous against the late life, please be aware of it. ”
Tao Tixue said with a pleasant face: "You don't need to be wronged, if this official agrees with the report against you in this anonymous letter, he will not show it to you." ”
Lin Yanchao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this anonymous letter was very vicious, and it was to learn from Tao Ti. said that after he entered the school, he had not been to the county school for half a year, and he had not even taken the monthly exam. The letter also fabricated that Lin Yanchao was in love with the land of flowers and willows, and he said that he had a nose and eyes.
Tao Ti said: "I look at your essay on the annual examination, which is reasonable and organized, and it is further than the college examination. It shows that you have worked hard for half a year, so the official believes that the matter on the letter is purely false. ”
Lin Yanchao said: "There is the trust of the great grandmaster. Late life is grateful. ”
Tao Ti said: "According to this official, this letter is clearly someone who slandered you, do you know why this person wants to harm you?" Do you want the official to do justice for your abbot? ”
Tao Tixue actually took the initiative to say this, and Lin Yanchao was a little surprised. Lin Yanchao said in his heart, if Tao Tixue came forward and forced Xu Ziyi to find out the people behind the scenes.
Lin Yanchao said: "Returning to the great master, the late students guess that this time the late students of the government examination will be the candidates as a guarantee. Therefore, I offended some of the widows. ”
"Oh, why is that?" Tauti asked.
Lin Yanchao said: "Late born as a human being. No money is charged, so many candidates who can't afford to pay the thank you gift ask the late students to be the protector. Maybe it has cut off some people's financial means because of this. ”
Tao Tixue suddenly said: "I see, cutting off people's wealth is like killing your parents, no wonder you suffer from this taboo." But why don't you take the money? This offends people. ”
Lin Yanchao said: "When I was born in my later years, my family was poor, and I almost couldn't study. Although I became a student today, I remembered that I came from a humble background and did not dare to forget my roots, so I also wanted to help those candidates who were also from poor backgrounds. ”
Listening to Lin Yanchao's words, Tao Tixue was very surprised. Whether Lin Yanchao really thinks so or not, as an official of the imperial court, he must affirm such thoughts.
Tauti learned: "Good! Helping others is the foundation of goodness! The official was originally worried that after you became famous, you were too ostentatious and attracted the jealousy of others, so he framed you. It seems that the official is overthinking, and you can not forget your roots, which is really valuable. ”
Lin Yanchao lowered his head and said: "Actually, there may be other things wrong with the late life, so please don't continue to pursue this matter with the great grandmaster, it can be regarded as a warning to the late life." ”
Tao Tixue pinched his beard and said with a smile; "You take the word Zonghai, and you really have the amount of tolerance. Complaining about virtue and goodness is the best, or the official will not pursue the matter. ”
Tao Ti was born in a famous family in the imperial examination, but he admired Lin Yanchao, a scholar who was born poor but constantly improved himself, and said at the moment: "The imperial court wants to increase the decree and commend the 'virtuous and square' among the local students in various provinces, and this official has decided to report you." ”
Lin Yanchao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, when the Han Dynasty court implemented the inspection system, it set up a virtuous and virtuous Fangzheng department to seek talents from the locality.
The imperial examination system was implemented in the dynasty, and the probationary examination system was abolished, and although the virtuous and honest people did not have the qualifications to be officials, it could still be regarded as a rare honor. The Ministry of Rites will send officials to the local area to commend the 'virtuous and square' Confucian students.
During his tenure, Tao Tixue could only nominate a few students to ask for recognition from the imperial court, and now he awarded this honor to Lin Yanchao. How Lin Yanchao was overjoyed.
Tao Tixue smiled and finally encouraged Lin Yanchao: "The township move is imminent, you take the exam well, don't disappoint the official, the official believes that with your talent, sooner or later there will be a day when the Toad Palace will win the championship." ”
"Thank you, Great Grandmaster."
At present, Tao Tixue also gave Lin Yanchao five taels of silver as a motivation for learning. Although these five taels of silver are not much for Lin Yanchao's current net worth, they also represent Tao Tixue's appreciation of Lin Yanchao.
This annual examination can be described as a great gain for Lin Yanchao.
But the harvest is great, which does not mean that Lin Yanchao can not pursue the person who secretly framed him. He said in front of Tao Tixue that he would not pursue it, in order to leave a good impression, but all upright gentlemen like people with generous temperament.
Besides, the Tao Ti doctrine of repaying grievances with virtue is the saying in Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, as Confucian disciples, what the ancestor Confucius taught us is that we repay virtue with virtue and repay grievances with straightforwardness, and it is by no means that we are bullied, so we should be buns.
It was not enough to send Xu Ziyi to frame him, and he also anonymously wrote to Tao Tixue to smear himself, which had already touched his bottom line.
After Lin Yanchao returned home, Chen Xinggui said to him: "The matter is already eyebrow-raising, my people found out that Xu Ziyi's wife was sick last month, in order to treat his wife, he borrowed five taels of silver from Zhang Yuanwai in Nanshi, saying that he would pay it off within three months, with three cents." ”
Lin Yanchao said: "This is almost the same as the pawnshop's nine out of thirteen, it can be seen that Xu Ziyi is forced by life, and he is also forced to have no choice." ”
Chen Xinggui smiled and said, "Yanchao, are you soft-hearted?" (To be continued.) )
