Chapter Seventy-Eight: Duel
Xu Qian returned home from Xie Mansion, although he guessed many possibilities along the way, but gradually calmed down, thinking of Xie Qian's teachings, it is useless to think more, Jingyi is the right way, as long as he stands firm and has goods in his stomach, do you dare to stumble on yourself in the hospital? He is already a celebrity, as long as his grades are good, if he dares not to take his papers, Qing Yi will definitely scold him to death.
So he calmed down, pondered and digested Xie Qian's teachings, and sent a few more articles to this teacher to taste before the college exam. Teacher...... Isn't that how it is used? Don't use it in vain, it's good to squeeze out the dry goods in his stomach twice in three days, otherwise he won't learn anything from him at that time, but will also give him a shield, which is a tyrannical thing.
At home, Deng Jian has already gone to the prince's mansion to do things, and he always says that the Huang Gonggong Guild is coming, but there is always no news. Without Deng Jian, the house was a lot quieter, Xu Qian pushed the door in, and didn't see Zhao Mengting being a female celebrity in the yard, so he went to her bedroom to look for her, but he didn't see anyone, he was looking for it elsewhere, but found that there was a letter on the desk that had been opened.
Epistle......
Xu Qian was stunned for a moment, and his heart began to struggle again, it seemed very immoral to peek at other people's letters, but the curiosity in his heart attacked, and he couldn't help but glance at it a few times, and he vaguely saw that it was in Qiantang...... For the sake of the father, you have a lot of peace of mind, and you are willing to live in Qiantang for a longer time...... and the like.
Xu Qian couldn't help but think in his heart, it turned out that Zhao Mengting had already exchanged letters with her father, but what did it mean that you would stay in Qiantang for a few more days if you forced it? Previously, Xu Qian revealed that if Zhao Mengting was willing, she could ask her father to take her back to Jiangning. But this letter from Zhao's father said that if you force it, could it be that Zhao Mengting wrote to her father and hoped to live here for a few more days?
"That's weird." Xu Qian touched his nose, he was puzzled for a while, and then sighed, he suddenly found that he had a lot of troubles, just stop it, or study. Then he went into his room and read honestly.
In the evening, Zhao Mengting asked him to eat, and Xu Qian asked her, "Why didn't you see you?" β
Zhao Mengting didn't notice anything wrong, and said with a normal face: "I went to sit at Mama Wang's next door for a while." β
Xu Qian quietly observed her, and didn't see anything unusual, so he could only give up.
After staying at home for a few days, Deng Jian collected a lot of information for him, and Xu Shengyuan knew about Hangzhou without going out, not because Xu Shengyuan pinched his fingers and could pinch it, Deng Jian still contributed a lot.
The information that Xu Qian has learned now is that after Nati Xueguicao took office, he immediately cleaned up several clerks in the yali and severely dealt with several Xiucai who violated the school rules.
When a new official takes office, after all, he still has to burn three fires, but this first fire burns a little inexplicably, after all, he is a scholar, what do you do when you learn from the government? After all, the school rules were established during the Taizu period, and many of the provisions were out of date, so everyone maintained a tacit understanding and turned a blind eye, but this Lord Gui has a big official shelf, and it is a bit unbelievable to use this to establish his authority.
If you want to do things, you must be prestigious, and you have to let others know that you can do things well, but the scholar is noble, and the status of the scholar is getting higher and higher, and he has the right to speak, you run to give people authority, which in Xu Qian's opinion, this surnamed Gui is really a neurotic.
But...... Xu Qian felt that this person was not simple, this person's resume was too weird, and now he suddenly came out of the mountain, there must be a plan.
There is a lot of news about this scholar, Xu Qian also knows that this person's new official took office, and many people went to visit, but they were all closed, Gui Cao in addition to working in the yazhong, that is, shrinking in the back office, not participating in any social activities, and even released remarks that the hospital examination and the township examination are imminent, in order to show fairness, it is inconvenient to show people.
What is the reasoning behind this? Which student is not in harmony with Shilin? It is also inconvenient to show fairness, what is the reason?
Xu Qian became more and more speechless about this mention.
However, I heard that everyone outside is now speculating about who will be ranked first in this year's college examination, and the call is the most
It is said that this person used to be the first in the county examination and the government examination, and he was going to win the first place in the hospital examination last year, but because of his sudden illness, he was delayed, and this year's college examination continued to be examined, so many of Mr. Wu's disciples let out the wind, saying that he was the first person in the court examination this time.
Xu Qian thought of Mr. Wu, and immediately hated itchy, this old thing didn't give face that day, he went to apprentice with good intentions, and was ridiculed by him, and Xu Qian's temperament was slowly cultivated after Xu Qian was influenced by the old man, at this time, he thought that the protΓ©gΓ© surnamed Wu wanted to win the first place in the hospital test, and his heart was high-spirited, thinking about the first, where is it so easy? Let's talk about it after passing myself first.
With this thought, Xu Qian worked even harder, turned a deaf ear to the things of the outside world, closed the door, and no matter who came to visit, it was just a fluttering sentence: "The teacher has a life, the hospital test is imminent, and there are no outsiders." This is Xu Qian's false words, but those who ate the closed-door soup just laughed and didn't mind, since this is what Master Xie meant, everyone naturally didn't want to say anything.
More than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and it is early summer at this time, and it is getting closer and closer to the hospital examination.
After more than a month of hard reading, Xu Qian's experience in two lives, he had a new understanding of the article, and his pen power was more exquisite, he hurried to Xie Mansion again, this time he saw Xie Qian and didn't say much, and directly presented all the articles he had made in a month to Xie Qian, Xie Qian took Xu Qian's article, read it slowly for more than an hour, and then raised his eyes, and said calmly: "This time, there has been some growth, but ......" Xie Qian smiled at him: "Look at you so hard, Do you want to come out on top in the college exam? β
Xu Qian said: "Those who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers, since they are determined to study, they can't be ranked first, but it's also a regret in life." The implication is that if Lao Tzu doesn't do the first, who will be the first? It's very domineering.
Xie Qian couldn't help laughing, and said: "It's a good thing to be ambitious, but although your articles are getting more and more sophisticated, but after all, the college examination gathers students from all over the province, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang are big provinces for scientific research...... But it's still a little bit off. β
Xu Qian frowned, and couldn't help but say, "The teacher has no confidence in the student? β
Xie Qian Zhengse said: "You think about the college test too simply, this college test is equivalent to the township test, although it is a small test, but it is a crucial test for students in the province, if you can stand out from it, the future is still limitless." Your article is really good, but it's just good, in the land south of the Yangtze River, there are many talented people, if you are not convinced, then I will show you an article. β
He stood up, took out a manuscript from the bookshelf, gave it to Xu Qian, and said: "This is Yang Tongzhi's article, this son worships under the famous Wu Jian in Hangzhou, and he is also a young man, he has a lot of roots with the old man, and is the grandson of the old man's old friend, so he also took the article to invite the old man to taste, you take a look at his article first." β
Yang Tongzhi......
Xu Qian was vigilant, isn't this guy the hottest candidate for the first person in the hospital examination case at the moment? He picked up the article on the manuscript, and couldn't help but look at it, it took a long stick of incense, Xu Qian looked up with a strange face, and said sourly: "This person's article is not bad, but the writing is more sophisticated, the rhetoric is more beautiful, and the problem is quite decent, compared to me, it is ......."
Xie Qian interrupted him with a sneer: "Good is good, bad is bad, this is his article from a year ago, you ask yourself, how does your article compare with him?" β
Xie Qian's tone was very harsh, and Xu Qian's heart suddenly became weak, and he said, "It's a little worse than him." β
Xie Qian smiled again and said, "Yes, it's a little bit worse, after all, he is a scholarly family, the son of heaven is smart, and he has worshiped a famous teacher since he was a child, why are you his opponent?" But it's rare that you can do what you are today. β
Xu Qian smiled bitterly: "He worshipped a famous teacher, didn't the students worship a famous teacher?" The teacher is from a champion background, if I can't compare to him at that time, won't it make people gossip? Could it be that a dignified bachelor is not as good as a disciple of a cat and a dog? β
Xu Qian deliberately bit the words cat and dog very hard, and humiliated Mr. Wu fiercely.
