Chapter 341 On seniority

ps. Come with today's update and get some votes for Qidian 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 votes, and they also get Qidian coins for voting. I beg everyone to support and appreciate it!

Among all the scholars, Wu Shengyu belongs to the kind of person who is very ignorant.

Lin She was just a tone of a governor and minister. No matter what he said, you don’t accept it and watch it coldly, so you don’t have to go up and argue with Lin She.

Lin She's face looked a little ugly when he heard Wu Shengyu's words. He looked at Wu Shengyu, then looked at the scholar sitting next to him and asked, "Is this person..."

Immediately someone turned his head and whispered in Lin She's ear, telling him the identity of Wu Shengyu as the grandson of the Shanxi governor Wu Wendu.

Lin She's expression improved slightly after hearing this. No matter what, Wu Shengyu is also a descendant of a local official, and Wu Wendu's official position is far above him. He cannot offend Mr. Wu in person.

Lin She nodded and said, "Then Mr. Wu thinks that what I said is wrong, so you dare not agree with it?"

Wu Shengyu said: "Talent can only be distinguished by articles... If we look at the age of time and study hard for forty years, how can we say that it is better than the students who have studied hard for more than ten or even several years? Then why do many people have to learn until they are old and get old?"

When Wu Shengyu said this, he looked around the people present, especially those scholars who had not passed the imperial examination after they were old and flattered Lin She.

Although Wu Shengyu's words are very simple and easy to understand, once they say it, they will immediately become the target of criticism by those present.

Maybe he thought Wu Shengyu understood extremely, Lin She's words were originally intended to inspire Xiang Xue, but Wu Shengyu understood them as the reason and necessity; more people thought Wu Shengyu was rude. As a scholar who entered the school exam, even if his grandfather was capable, he was a scholar after all. After seeing that the court's fourth-rank official did not let him kneel down, he took the initiative to "speak out loud".

When Shen Xi heard this, he felt relieved.

In the past, no matter where he went, the person who was most likely to be the target of public criticism was Shen Xi himself, but he was not very high-profile and did not like to argue with others. However, Wu Shengyu had an extreme personality and had a strong sense of self-esteem, so that as long as he and the two of them attended the banquet at the same time, Wu Shengyu could always jump out to block the gun for him.

"Mr. Wu said this because he felt that he was young and promising. His future was limitless?" Someone asked in a sarcastic tone.

At this time, anyone else should be humble. Unexpectedly, Wu Shengyu bowed his hand slightly and said, "The future is limitless and I dare not say it, but at least I will not be with mediocre people!"

It was just a purely verbal dispute. After Wu Shengyu finished saying this, some candidates with bad temper rolled up their sleeves and stood up, as if they were angry and were about to take action.

Someone came out to persuade him immediately: "Everyone, harmony brings wealth, and harmony brings wealth."

"This is not a business. How can we make money? Just being angry can make people angry to death! Such a person has a bad head and a mouse's eyes, which is not enough to make a plan!"

Wu Shengyu was originally calm, but when he heard these words, a hideous and terrifying smile appeared on his handsome face, as if he was very concerned about this sentence.

Shen Xi was very surprised. This was different from Wu Shengyu's previous personality.

After thinking a little, could it be that Wu Shengyu was very concerned about the title of "Shouzi"? Or that he did not mind being called "Shouzi", but understood it as "Shouzi". He was humble in the Wu family. He was the driving force for Wu Shengyu to study hard and developed a competitive personality since childhood.

The identity of the "cowardly son" happens to be Wu Shengyu's weakness!

Chen Xi thought to himself: "You can argue in front of so many people, but in the end you can't escape the blow of a worldly title!"

Wu Shengyu said: "It is better to know the quality of knowledge in articles. With such a simple truth, why should there be such a verbal dispute?"

Those who can get into the provincial examinations these days are old-fashioned people who often sit with others. Debating with others is just a common occurrence. Seeing that Wu Shengyu obviously doesn't want to talk to them anymore, these people are proud, as if they are the ones who have taken the blame.

A scholar in his thirties surnamed Shu said: "It is not surprising that Mr. Wu participated in the provincial examination at the age of 16. In this Fujian provincial examination, there are many people who are younger and more promising than Mr. Wu, right?"

This statement obviously has not been subjected to any research. Anyway, scholars are arrogant. I think it is not surprising that you took the provincial examination at the age of sixteen, so it must be like this. This is similar to the big mouth that is randomly made. Anyway, there are so many students, you can't list everyone's age from beginning to end to refute me.

But they still have a sense of truth-seeking. They know that their prefectures and counties do not come to participate in the provincial examinations under the age of sixteen. Wu Shengyu is already the best among young talents. But if Wu Shengyu fails this provincial examination and participates in the next one at the age of nineteen, he will not be as glorious as he is now... After all, there are many people who have participated in the provincial examinations at the age of ten!

Wu Shengyu bowed to the scholar surnamed Shu and asked, "How old are you in the county exam? How old are you in the middle of the exam?"

The scholar named Shu was a little embarrassed: "At the age of seventeen, he took the county exam, a middle school student at the age of twenty-four, and a student at the age of twenty-eight, and a student at the age of twenty-eight, how about it?"

He actually has no shame to say this.

No matter what others do, he was in his twenties and could not continue to debate this issue with a person who was in his 15-year-old scholar.

When the people present heard this tone, if Wu Shengyu asked one by one, how old did you pass the scholarship exam? How old did you come to the provincial examination? You lost all your face!

At this moment, Chen Xi, the youngest among the people present, was pushed out by some interested people: "Mr. Wu, don't be arrogant. As far as you know, you won the case last year's Tingzhou Prefecture Examination. You can be said to be a glorious person in Tingzhou Prefecture, but below you, the second place is Mr. Chen, who was only twelve years old at the time. In the Tingzhou Prefecture Examination the previous year, you were beneath him!"

What Wu Shengyu couldn't stand the most was that he was in a position under the rank of Chen Xi during the mansion examination and was cited as a great humiliation by him. After the examination, Wu Shengyu received some news from the yamen that Chen Xi's test paper was escorted by Liu Bing. As a result, Chen Xi was given a different article in the first exam, so he was barely reduced to the second place.

This is equivalent to Wu Shengyu failing twice under Shen Xi’s hands!

"Young Master Chen, what you are talking about is you. You can't get up and talk to this Young Master Wu, who is young and promising?" When others looked at Chen Xi, they were ridiculed and mocked. Obviously, they did not regard Chen Xi as their own person, but instead pushed him out as a shield.

Chen Xi knew this very well. These people were not at all kind-hearted.

It’s just that Lin She gave a false proposition, saying that studying hard for decades will make a difference. It’s your business to encourage students to focus on learning, but you can’t talk big in everything. There will always be some exceptions.

Chen Xi thought to himself: "As an alternative exception, I was standing on the side with Wu Shengyu. I was so provoked by them. It seemed that I was opposite to Wu Shengyu and wanted to compete with him for some strengths. Isn't this a matter of nothing to find trouble?"

Among so many scholars present, Lin She didn't notice Chen Xi sitting in the corner with Su Tong. At this time, Lin She smiled and looked at Chen Xi and asked, "Is this Mr. Chen who participated in the provincial examination at the age of thirteen?"

Chen Xi stood up and saluted: "I have met Senator Lin."

Lin She obviously didn't like Chen Xi very much. Firstly, Chen Xi did not respect the people of the General Administration and the Secondly, Chen Xi took the provincial examination at such a young age, and he was also full of jealousy. Although Lin She had a smile on her face, the smile was extremely reluctant. She just looked at Chen Xi for a moment and turned away immediately.

Wu Shengyu squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Xi. He always regarded Chen Xi as his old enemy, but they are now attacking others, so they should stand on the same position at this time.

Wu Shengyu asked, "What are the high opinions of Mr. Chen?"

Chen Xi became the focus of everyone's attention, smiled slightly, and bowed: "I can't talk about Gao Ren, but I don't know... How did I pass the exam? This time I came to take the provincial examination again... I feel ashamed..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Wu Shengyu tried hard to prove that he had real talent and knowledge, but turned around and Chen Xi, who was younger than Wu Shengyu, looked like he was making jokes. He actually said that he didn't even know how to get into the scholar.

Someone asked with a smile: "Mr. Chen, can you be the one who passed the exam by impersonating someone?"

Some people also said: "With Mr. Chen's age, it's a bit difficult to find someone to take the exam, right? If Mr. Wu is slightly modified, it might be helpful, haha."

Although all the scholars here are famous for their good cultivation and cultivation, the problem of literati being less favorable has been around since ancient times. When they encounter someone they don’t like, they can immediately turn from entertainment to irony, and use it as their skills to display it. They enjoy it.

Wu Shengyu glared at Chen Xi, as if he was blaming Chen Xi for saying "mutually" at this time, which was equivalent to slapping him in the face.

Just as everyone laughed and wanted to hear what Chen Xi had more insights, Chen Xi shook his head and sighed: "Or it is a student from Tingzhou. I understand that I am young, so I can give in to others, or I am lucky. I am lucky to be able to participate in this provincial examination this time, and I hope my luck will continue to improve. If you can... give in to others, I will thank you here."

As he said that, Chen Xi gave a respectful gift, which immediately made the people present look bad.

Someone scolded: "Exam is an exam, it depends on real talent and knowledge. How can we give in to each other?"

Chen Xi asked in surprise: "Is the exam a good job of learning? Shouldn't it be a good job of learning first? It's better to learn from ages?"

After saying this, no one dares to underestimate Chen Xi anymore.

At the beginning, Chen Xi was laughing and said that he didn't even know how to get into a scholar, but in fact he was just to lead to the topics that followed.

I advocate learning for more than ten years or decades, but no matter how many years I have studied, I will discuss knowledge and test articles. Even if you have studied for a hundred years, you are considered a veteran in the field of science, but if you do not write well, you will still be unnamed on the list.

The scene was quite awkward, but Lin She nodded and said, "What Mr. Chen said is somewhat reasonable. Study hard, treat it as two days a day, or two or even three years a year... Young men can also be ranked on the list, haha."

Lin She said this, but in fact, she was trying to find a way for herself. If he hadn't said too much just now, it would have attracted Wu Shengyu's remarks, so there would have been no such incidents later.

Chen Xi saluted respectfully: "What Senator Lin said is that having ambition is not about being old, and having no ambition is about being a hundred years old. If a young man does not seek to make progress, but needs to be older, he is afraid that he will be distracted and cannot concentrate on learning. Students should keep in mind the words of Senator Lin and use this to urge themselves at all times."
