Funeral Report

Speaking of Xu Zheng, Qin Jian was also filled with emotion.

Although the elders had already fallen out with each other, there was no major conflict between Qin Jian and Xu Zheng. Qin Jian didn't even mind having contact with Xu Zheng. However, Xu Zheng had been living in seclusion for the past two years.

After he became a filial piety, he rarely interacted with his cousins. Naturally, Qin Jian did not rush to get in touch with him, so he became distant from him. But perhaps Xu Zheng was famous among relatives and friends for his intelligence since he was a child, and he was known to his peers.

The impression was too profound. Even though Qin Jian felt that his knowledge had greatly improved, deep down, he was still very confident in Xu Zheng's talent and learning. Therefore, after hearing about his ranking, he couldn't believe it.

Qin Jian said to Zhao Mo: "I also think his ranking is a bit low. After he finished the examination, he wrote the article silently when he returned home. Although it was only circulated among family members, I thanked my cousin Rong for it.

I still managed to get a copy. His articles are of great literary talent. The rhyme, rhythm, contrast, and allusion are all excellent. However, the topic is a little different from what I thought. It feels like...the thinking is too shallow.

In addition, there are some shortcomings in practical aspects. The exam questions of this year's exam show that Xinjun obviously wants to promote a group of practical people, so the questions are more practical. If he is not familiar with people's livelihood and economy, he also knows some ways of doing politics.

Yes, I'm afraid it's not easy to shine. When I went south to Jiangning with my third uncle that year, I did a lot of homework with you along the way and learned a lot, so that I wouldn't be blind. Cousin Zheng's article... I feel

Some of them are clichés, and when read, they are a bit unconventional and boastful. But even so, his articles are still good, and they will not fall into this ranking. At most, they will not be ranked high."

Zhao Mo understood a little when he heard what he said: "I see, it's no wonder. This new king of Koenko is indeed determined to select a group of officials who are well versed in practical matters. Even if their literary talents are slightly inferior, as long as their articles are

You can be accommodating if you say something meaningful. If you do this during the regular examination, you may be criticized, but Enke is different. I am not afraid to tell you the truth. Now the war in Liaodong has finally stopped, and the southwest has been calmed down.

After coming down, the fiefdoms under the names of several clans and royal families who had previously rebelled were also returned to the imperial court. The new monarch needs to send a group of officials to guard the place, and these officials must not only have character, but also have talent.

, he cannot be a nerd who only knows how to write poems and articles, but is not familiar with popular affairs. This class of Enke is the first subject after the new king comes to the throne. People who can be high school Jinshi, if they can be selected, will serve as this group of officials.

, is a thorough disciple of the Emperor, and is expected to be reused in the future. Therefore, the new king attaches great importance to Enke this time. Not only has the examiner carefully selected him, but even the selection requirements are slightly different from previous years.

.I said this, do you understand?"

Qin Jian understood and couldn't help but feel excited: "I see... cousin Zheng's fault is that he doesn't know how to practice! I heard cousin Rong mentioned it and originally suggested that cousin Zheng go out on a study tour to increase his knowledge.

, but cousin Zheng didn’t take it seriously, and his mother wasn’t worried... He was delayed, right? It’s a pity that although he has been talented and famous since he was a child, the world will not wait for him. If he can’t seize this

Once you get a chance, you can only watch other people rise to the top, and you can't blame them."

Zhao Mo smiled and said, "Who can blame him? His parents are his own parents, he reads the books by himself, he takes the exam by himself, and whether his test result is good or bad, can someone else take the responsibility?"

Qin Hanzhen was listening on the sidelines and said after hearing the words: "Although this principle is simple and understandable, I don't know if Xu's family can understand it. Has the eldest uncle and grandma already heard the news? How does she feel?" She turned to Qin Jian and asked him

Yu Xinlan, "I see that so many people are happy for my cousin and Uncle Kewen today, but I don't see any movement from my eldest aunt and grandmother. Although she is ill now, not even the eldest girl in her house comes forward. This

Is there something abnormal?"

Qin Jian smiled bitterly, and Yu Xinlan said to Qin Hanzhen calmly: "After my grandmother heard the news, she has been in a bad mood. She has not thought about food and drink, and is worried about her cousin from the Xu family. She originally wanted to invite someone to come over to talk, but her father and

My mother was worried that her condition would worsen, so she refused."

Qin Hanzhen twitched her lips, and she understood. Xu's preference for his nephew and grandson while ignoring his own grandson was really deep-rooted. She couldn't help but muttered: "Xu Zheng didn't fail the exam, it's just that his ranking was low.

A little bit, is this really necessary?"

Zhao Mo smiled and said: "This is Enke. It is different from the regular examination. You see that there are less than 300 people on the list, so you know that the number of people in the second class will probably not exceed 150. One hundred and six

There are more than ten people, who are clearly the top three candidates. Even if the imperial examination has not been held yet, it is enough to make Xu Zheng's family panic. Mrs. Chengenhou has always had high hopes for Xu Zheng. She originally thought that he would be among the best. Who would have thought that he would be among the best?

How could he end up in the same ranks as Jinshi?"

Qin Hanzhen disagreed: "I have passed all the exams. This can only prove that Xu Zheng only has so much strength. If you are not willing to do so, just give up on this subject and take the exam again in two years. The only question is whether you can do better in the exam by then."

, it’s just an unknown number. Not everyone can work as hard as the eldest cousin and Yu Shizi. Besides, Xu Zheng’s shortcomings are still there. If he can’t find them and fails to correct them, no matter how hard he endorses them,

, Reading and writing articles are of no use? Unless in that year's general examination or imperial examination, Xinjun no longer favors practical questions, and the examiner happens to like Xu Zheng's writing style, maybe he can do better in the exam.

Son."

Zhao Mo just smiled at this: "How can such a coincidence happen?" He knew Xinjun's temperament and preferences best.

Qin Jian said: "Xu's family is now married to Gui Shilang's family, and Xu Zheng heard that he has a good relationship with his brother-in-law. If he takes his article and asks the second son of Gui for advice, he should also know his shortcomings.

I had some doubts in the past. I have heard about his dealings with the Second Young Master Gui for several months, and I have often consulted him for advice. How come I haven’t discovered my real flaws even after asking for advice for so long?"

Zhao Mo said: "God knows whether his association with Gui Er is for knowledge or something else. Gui Er is not his serious teacher, he is just a friend of his peers. He can give him advice on one or two questions, and he can also start from the beginning.

Is Wei Xixi telling him how to write an essay? Gui Er is full of talent and learning, but he has no reason to teach his friends step by step. If Xu Zheng can have a truly knowledgeable and attentive teacher to guide him, he can study for two more years.

, if he goes out to practice more, he may not be in the current situation. But his elders are tight, and he can't stand up on his own, so he blindly follows his parents' orders, so it is natural for him to be hit like this."

Qin Jian couldn't help but sigh.

Qin Hanzhen said casually: "Let's just say less about him. Whether he does well in the exam or not, other than the great aunt and grandmother who will care about him, it has nothing to do with us. On the other hand, the eldest cousin, the palace exam is coming soon, so you have to prepare well. Since

The new king is more practical, so you should pay more attention to this aspect. I think if you have the conditions, you can find out all the government affairs and news that happened in the past year and review them again, and ask Shoushan Bo for more advice.

It can be beneficial.”

Qin Jian smiled and said: "That's what I meant." Yu Xinlan pursed her lips and smiled: "My father has already agreed to tell my brother about these things and ask my husband to come and listen together. Anyway, my father has not intervened this year.

There is no need to avoid anything in the imperial examination."

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "Ha, that's even better! If you encounter something you don't understand, you can not only ask Shoushan Bo for advice immediately, but also discuss it with Prince Yu, and maybe you will gain a lot of insights."

Zhao Mo's heart moved slightly and he said with a smile: "I haven't been busy recently. If you want to get together for a tea party, remember to call me. There are also Brother Lu and Brother Tang. Brother Tang is not busy at the moment, although

He is new to the court, so he is better than you two newcomers. Listen to his words, you may also gain something."

Zhao Mo was a person who could be used by the imperial family; behind Prince Yu, there was Shoushanbo, an important minister in the court, who could impart his experience; when Tang Han first entered the Hanlin Academy, he knew the preferences and preferences of the Hanlin scholars - the main members of the examiner ranks.

At that time, Lu Chuming had been following his father Lu Pu, and he must have a lot of knowledge about local affairs. If Qin Jian could get together with these four people, discuss with each other, exchange knowledge, and help each other, he would definitely be able to help him in the imperial examination.

It was of great help. Zhao Mo's suggestion seemed to be just a trivial matter at first, but in fact it was thoughtful for Qin Jian. How could Qin Jian not hear it?

He glanced at Zhao Mo gratefully: "This is a good idea. I will discuss it with cousin Lu and my uncle later, and I will tell you and brother-in-law Tang after we set a date."

Zhao Mo smiled back at him: "Okay, I'll be waiting for your letter."

The four of them were chatting happily when suddenly a housekeeper came from outside the door, her steps were hurried and her expression was solemn. Qin Jian and Yu Xinlan suddenly had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the woman knelt outside the threshold and reported: "The Lord of Zhenxi has come to announce his funeral. The Lord of Zhenxi has disappeared this morning!"

Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo were both startled. Qin Jian and Yu Xinlan looked at each other, but they were not surprised. The Marquis of Zhenxi had been "sick" for so long. The eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenxi, Su Boxiong, had just pacified the southwest, and the second son Su Zhongying was there again.

After a small victory in the Liaodong conflict, it was time for the Marquis of Zhenxi to "die" of illness.

Qin Jian asked his mother-in-law: "Has the news been reported to Songfengtang? Does my father know about it?"

The mother-in-law said: "Everything has been reported. The second master said that the eldest young master should change his clothes quickly and go to the Zhenxi Hou Mansion to express his condolences."

Qin Jian nodded: "I understand. Go and tell your grandmother again and tell her not to worry about cousin Xu. My aunt is about to return to Beijing, so she should worry about her first."

When the Marquis of Zhenxi passed away, both of his sons had to be married. Qin Youyi naturally had to take her children back to the capital with her husband to observe filial piety. After observing the filial piety, it is still unknown what the future will be for the two sons of the Su family. The Xu family did not know

The children and grandchildren around me don't care about her, and they only care about the imperial examination results of their grandnephew Xu Zheng. What about her biological daughter who has been away from home for a long time? Is it true that she can't show the slightest concern? She can't be so heartless, can she?
