Chapter 121: With this majestic essay, my reputation can be guaranteed
In thousands of years of history, there has been only one person who won six yuan in a row, and only eighteen people who won three yuan in a row.
This level of difficulty is something only novels dare to do.
Huang Tinghui naturally did not dare to have such reverie.
Who said that as a time traveler, he is a child of luck and can do what only one person can do in thousands of years?
For him, being able to gain fame is enough.
Of course, these are all Huang Tinghui's far-fetched thoughts.
For now, Li Baichong only hopes that Huang Tinghui will pass the county examination.
If possible, it would be great to pass the prefectural examination together.
"Brother Hui, I will take care of other things for you, but for the exam, you can only work hard on your own."
"If you ask anything, I will naturally tell you everything I know."
"But the deadline for the county examination is not far away. I hope you can calm down and complete the homework you missed!"
"Since I, Li Baichong, have decided to admit you as an exception, I will let you enter Luyang Academy."
"If you fail in the county examination, then I, Li Baichong, will lose my face!"
Li Baichong is a very face-saving person and a person who pays great attention to his reputation.
Otherwise, his cousin would come to him and beg him to let Huang Tinghui study in Luyang Academy.
It was impossible for Li Baichong to reject his cousin so simply and neatly.
After all, from the bottom of his heart, Li Baichong still felt deeply sorry for his cousin's family.
"Tinghui should do his best!" Huang Tinghui could only say to Li Baichong.
Although the predecessor of this body was uneducated and unskilled, Huang Tinghui had at least studied ancient imperial examination articles.
I think it shouldn't be too difficult to pass a county form.
I'm just short of time, can I really pass the county exam?
Huang Tinghui comforted himself, but he had no confidence in his heart.
"That's good. Luyang Academy is about to start school, and you can live in my house during this period."
"I have to make sure you pass the county exam!"
Not to mention Huang Tinghui, even Li Baichong didn't have much confidence that Huang Tinghui could pass the county examination.
Although this young man's poems and essays were naturally excellent, Li Baichong didn't know his exam-taking ability!
Isn’t the imperial examination only about test-taking ability?
If he had known that Huang Tinghui had never even passed the childbirth examination, Li Baichong would never have given him a backdoor so easily.
Huang Tinghui also understood what Li Baichong meant, so he could only awkwardly raise his hands and say: "Yes!"
After all, I have a master who has taught me how to take the exam, so it won’t be too difficult to pass the Tongsheng exam.
This should be the same as a college student from a 211,985 grade school tutoring an elementary school student for his graduation exam.
Therefore, Huang Tinghui naturally had no reason to reject Li Baichong.
"Cousin, thank you so much!"
"Thank you!" Hearing that Li Baichong wanted to keep Huang Tinghui in his mansion, the old patriarch didn't understand what his cousin meant.
He quickly expressed his gratitude to his cousin.
"We're all family!"
"You don't have to be so polite!" Li Baichong quickly helped the old patriarch up.
"Mingzhang, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"
"Why don't you stay today and chat with me?"
Li Baichong said to the old patriarch.
"Cousin, it's not that Mingzhang is unwilling, it's just that there are many things to deal with during this new year!"
"It is said that the sea has been uneasy recently. Last year, the county next door suffered a major disaster. The imperial court has ordered the villages to organize militia for self-defense!"
"When this period of time has passed and Mingzhang is free, how about we come see my cousin?"
The old patriarch said to Li Baichong.
After hearing what the old patriarch said, Li Baichong didn't force it.
"It's already good that my cousin remembers to come see me, an old man!"
"The troubles I have suffered for many years can be solved now!" Li Baichong said to the old patriarch.
"But even though I can't stay today, I still have time to have a casual meal with my brother, right?"
"This is natural!"
…
After finishing the meal, it was already getting late.
The old patriarch did not dare to stay in the Li Mansion any longer, so he said goodbye to his cousin immediately.
Huang Tinghui supported the old patriarch on crutches and staggered out.
After Huang Tinghui and the old patriarch left, a person appeared next to Li Baichong, "Master, have you really decided to admit the scholar named Huang Tinghui to Luyang Academy like this?"
"In all these years, sir, you have never made an exception!"
"If other people know about this, they will definitely use it to slander me behind my back, saying that I do one thing openly but another secretly!"
"I'm afraid this will affect my reputation!"
This butler has been following Li Baichong for so many years. Naturally, he is attracted to Li Baichong and also considers Li Baichong's reputation.
"After all, I owe Mingzhang's family. If it weren't for me, my aunt might not have passed away so early!"
"To this day, I still feel guilty towards Mingzhang's family!"
"If a person thinks about himself and his reputation all the time in his life, wouldn't that be selfish? What's the difference between me and my parents?"
I think of all the kindness my aunt did to me when I was young.
Even though he is now over sixty years old, Li Baichong is still a little sad.
"This time, I will give the lunch to Mingzhang and his family, right?"
"As for Huang Tinghui, I think he is extraordinary and definitely not something that belongs in the pond!"
"To become a poem in one step is the seed of a scholar. I cannot bury such a seed of a scholar just because of my persistence and some of my own principles."
"If I miss it, wouldn't it go against my original wish?"
"In the future, if Huang Tinghui can really gain fame, I can be considered as adding a pillar of talent to the country!"
It is for these reasons.
Only then did Li Baichong, who had always been stubborn and stubborn, give up his persistence and decide to make an exception for Huang Tinghui this time.
After saying that, Li Baichong looked at the poem written by Huang Tinghui again.
"How is Mr. Dai Zong? Qilu is still young.
The clock of creation is beautiful, the yin and yang cut off the dusk. The breasts are full of clouds, and the birds are returning from the canthus. When you reach the top of the mountain, you can see all the mountains and small mountains."
"You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will have a panoramic view of all the small mountains."
"What a good poem. How could a young man with such vigor and courage be just an ordinary person in this life?"
"It is gold, it always shines and cannot be hidden!"
After putting the poem together, Li Baichong looked at his old butler and said: "With this heroic poem, I can keep my reputation."
"Don't worry, the choice I made will not be wrong."
"In the future, this young man will definitely be able to reach the top of the mountain and see all the mountains at a glance."
Li Baichong seemed to be full of confidence in Huang Tinghui.
