Some of the candidates who failed to make the list cried bitterly, and some raised their glasses and shouted.
Zhang Xun sat next to Luo Xin, with a drunken smile on his face: "Brother Xin, my father and your uncle were the same back then, right?" β
Luo Xin has always controlled himself, so he is only half drunk at this time, and when he heard what Zhang Xun said, the past of his uncle Luo Zhi appeared in front of him.
In his impression, Luo Zhi has always been proud, and he doesn't even pay attention to Da Bo Luoye, who is the eldest son. Just like when his grandfather wanted to cut off Luo Qing's arm, Luo Zhi ridiculed Luo Ye, although his heart was not for Luo Qing, but it showed his status in the family.
is just a showman, let the head of the family, grandfather Luo Hengdu, take a high look, which shows the weight of showmanship in this era. Thinking about his experience from the county exam, the government exam, all the way to the provincial exam, the smell of feces and urine in the examination room, and the pressure he endured, Luo Xin suddenly felt that it was not easy for a scholar to be able to pass the exam, and it could already be regarded as a success, no wonder the uncle had such a status at home and in the village.
Thinking of the changes on the uncle's face after he was admitted to the middle school, and the changes in his later closed-door study, and this time when he saw the uncle in Jinyang, he found that the uncle's out-of-the-box temperament had changed, and the whole person was much calmer, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that Uncle also feels the pressure in his heart! Next year, I will take a township test with my nephew, as long as I think about it and think about it, I can feel the pressure on my uncle.
I hope Uncle can raise people in high school this time! β
In the past two months, Luo Xin has been constantly studying the hundred schools of thought, and as his state of mind improves, his vision and mind have become different. And in the past two years, whether it is grandpa, uncle or uncle, he has been deliberately kind to him. also made most of the resentment in his heart disappear. And Luo Qing often advised Luo Xin not to be too careful, after all, the blood of the Luo family flowed in his body.
Therefore, although Luo Xin is still estranged from his grandfather's side, he no longer resents his grandfather's side as much as he did before. And with his vision and mind at this time, he already understands that even if he is alienated from his grandfather's side, he can't change the fact that it is the Luo family. It's better to unite the entire Luo family. And then restrain them, let them become a help in their own career, as he thought before, to unite all the forces that can be united, in order to break through the thorns in his career. If there are cracks in your own home, it is the best flaw for your opponent.
Thinking of this, Luo Xin couldn't help but laugh at himself, and said secretly in his heart: "When did I become so controlling, I wasn't like this in my previous life!" β
The next day.
Candidates from all over the county have already begun to leave. The departing candidates did not go together, nor did they hire carts and guards, but they just walked in pairs. Only none of the candidates from Yanglin County left, because they waited for Luo Xin any longer.
What did Luo Xin do?
I went to the hairpin feast.
This is the rule of the Dao exam, and the day after the release of the Dao exam, the prefect and the promoter will hold a banquet to invite local celebrities and the top 30 candidates who have won the qualification of the Daoist Examination to celebrate.
This is a congratulatory banquet, and it is a congratulatory banquet for literati, so everyone picks good words to talk about during the banquet. There is also a Qing official stroking the qin and singing, at this moment. You can't see the tension of the situation at the northern border at all, and it is inspiring.
Luo Xin's words are very few, and it is natural to avoid poetry during the banquet, and it is often the examination school of Jinyang celebrities for these thirty students. Luo Xin's answer was decent, there was neither too brilliant nor a fall. Strictly abiding by the idea of moderation, this action made Jinyang celebrities and those students feel much more cordial to Luo Xin.
During the banquet, Luo Xin inevitably went to toast to the prefect Sun Jixian, and Sun Jixian said with a smile: "Luo Xin, you are only twelve years old this year, right?" β
"Yes!" Luo Xin said respectfully with the wine glass in both hands, but there was a bad feeling in his heart.
"So you haven't picked up the word yet......"
Luo's confidence is tight. He instantly understood that Sun Jixian was not dead yet, and he still wanted to pull himself into the Xinxue Group. He took the opportunity of this hairpin banquet to choose a word for himself in public. There is an unspoken rule in Daming, once someone gives you a word, you will also determine some kind of relationship with this person.
Not to mention......
What is Luo Xin's identity now?
It's just a student who has just been examined, even if he is a little Sanyuan, it's just a showman.
What is Sun Jixian's identity?
The lord of a house should be the fourth grade. Once such an identity gives Luo Xin a word, it will no longer be able to get rid of Sun Jixian, and everyone will classify Luo Xin as Sun Jixian's protΓ©gΓ© party, so Luo Xin will never let Sun Jixian finish his words, once Sun Jixian says that he wants to give Luo Xin a word, and then refuses, it will be a tear of the face, and everyone is not good-looking.
Looking at the surrounding officials and celebrities, they all looked at Sun Jixian and Luo Xin with a smile on their faces at this time, and waited for Sun Jixian to give Luo Xin a word, so that they could pass on this matter as a good story. So Luo Xin immediately spoke:
"Adults, the student's teacher has already picked up the words for the student, and he is just waiting for him to become an adult, and he can use it."
"Oh?"
Sun Jixian's face was slightly pale, but he was not angry, because he was not sure whether what Luo Xin said was true or false. It is not impossible for Lu Tingfang to pick up Luo Xin's words in advance. It's just that my heart is full of regrets, what a good opportunity, just slipped away. smiled slightly awkwardly:
"What word did Brother Lu choose for you?"
Lu Tingfang didn't give Luo Xin a word at all, how did Luo Xin know what his words were at this time? But at this time, he could not pause, so he immediately spoke:
"The teacher doesn't use the words for the students."
"No! A gentleman is not a weapon! Good! Sun Ji praised first, and then looked at Luo Xin with deep meaning: "No, you can come to visit the old man at any time in the future." β
The twenty-nine students behind Luo Xin all showed envy on their faces, but Luo Xin could only smile bitterly in his heart and thank Sun Jixian.
Finally got through the hairpin banquet, Luo Xin returned to the Zhou Mansion, naturally it was another feast, until he returned to his study, Dai Er still pestered Luo Xin to ask this and that, ask some things in the examination room, when he heard that the examination room was full of the smell of feces and urine, he couldn't help but cover his nose with a white and tender little hand. Luo Xin smiled and said:
"There's no smell here, what are you doing with your nose covered?"
Lu Daqing also laughed on the side, and Dai'er also reacted and laughed, and her two eyes were bent into crescents with laughter.
