Chapter 23 How should scholars in the world deal with themselves
Jiang Zhao took the golden flower post from Gu Hongyuan's hand with both hands and observed it carefully.
I saw that this golden flower post was three inches wide and about four inches long.
The upper part uses plain silk as the axis, and then sticks a golden flower on the plain silk, so this post is named Golden Flower Post.
On it is written the candidate's name and ranking on yellow paper sprinkled with gold powder.
This book of golden flowers seems to have a rather complicated production method. If it is sold, it will definitely fetch a high price, Jiang Zhao thought in his heart.
If Gu Hongyuan had the ability to read minds and knew Jiang Zhao's inner thoughts, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood at this moment.
Ordinarily, if a child from a poor family is lucky enough to be among the top three in the National Examination and obtain a golden flower post, he will put it in the ancestral hall and offer three sticks of incense every day.
I wish my children and grandchildren could worship it from generation to generation, but I am not willing to sell it.
However, in Jiang Zhao's eyes, this thing is just like the certificate from his previous life. It is of no use and can only be used as a decoration.
"In half a month, the palace examination will be held. After returning this time, you must be well prepared." Gu Hongyuan said.
Gu Hongyuan said this, which shows that he is still very fond of Jiang Zhao.
Jiang Zhao nodded naturally: "Yes."
Before Gu Hongyuan left, he didn't forget to ask Si Mubai.
Among the top three on the list, two were from humble backgrounds, and these two humble origins looked quite extraordinary. They thought they would be great talents in the future, so Gu Hongyuan was interested in wooing them at this time.
If these two people become officials in the future, I think they will be a big help in the court.
After Gu Hongyuan left, Jiang Zhao looked at Chen Lianghan and said with a smile: "Master Chen, I haven't seen you for many days. I miss you very much."
It's a pity that in Chen Lianghan's eyes, her sweet smile was just a smile.
Gu Hongyuan has left. Although Jiang Zhao is a Huiyuan, he does not hold an official position after all.
Naturally, Chen Lianghan would not be too polite to her, and snorted coldly: "After staying in prison for a few days, you must have developed a long memory. You still have to restrain your temper after you get out, otherwise you will be the same when you go to Jinluan Palace in the future.
Such recklessness is not as simple as being locked up for a few days."
Hearing Chen Lianghan's sarcasm, Jiang Zhao was not angry. He smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Chen."
He wished her to ascend to the Golden Palace as soon as possible, so naturally she couldn't be too petty and care about him too much.
Chen Lianghan glanced at Jiang Zhao, snorted coldly, and wanted to leave.
Jiang Zhao shouted, "Mr. Chen, have you handled that woman's case? You must know that in the Tianyu Dynasty, it is illegal to marry one's wife."
Chen Lianghan didn't expect that she would still be thinking about this matter after being detained for several days.
But what Jiang Zhao said was true. It was indeed illegal to marry one's wife. Now that Gu Hongyuan knew about it, he definitely couldn't ignore it.
Besides, he could just use this incident to increase the reputation he had lost due to the "Qin Ji" incident some time ago.
Then he said: "I will send someone to arrest that man today."
Then he left the living room without looking back.
After getting the answer he wanted, Jiang Zhao was satisfied and left with Wei Xiang and Simubai.
She didn't want to stay in Kyoto Prefecture any longer.
On the way, Si Mubai was still educating Jiang Zhao: "My dear brother, please don't be so impulsive again in the future."
"Today, my dear brother, I am very lucky. I happened to meet the examination results released by the Association, and my dear brother, because he comes from a poor family, was named on the gold medal list, which alerted the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel to personally send a golden flower post to my dear brother."
"These days, Brother Yu is taking money to various officials, but no one is willing to accept it from those officials who are full of greed. If you don't have such good luck in the future, Brother Yu will not be able to save you."
Jiang Zhao knew that Simu Bai was worried that his impulsiveness would bring greater disaster to him in the future.
So he said: "Today's outcome was expected that day, so I dared to contradict the Governor of Kyoto, but..."
Jiang Zhao changed the topic and continued: "Brother Mu Bai is right. Brother Yu will definitely restrain his temper in the future and will never be so impulsive."
She really shouldn't be so impulsive, but she was afraid that if she saw something she was unhappy about but didn't stand up to stop it, one day her conscience would be gone and she would become as numb as those ancient people who regarded human life as nothing.
Hearing this, Si Mubai chuckled and said, "Have you predicted today's outcome that day? My dear brother, you are really good at predicting things."
Si Mubai turned to look at Jiang Zhao, the look in his eyes was indescribable.
Jiang Zhao knew that Simu Bai was dissatisfied with his impulsive behavior, so he taunted him. He was not angry, but just smiled and said: "Xian brother, don't worry, stupid brother will definitely not be like this in the future."
Hearing what she said, Si Mubai felt relieved.
"Brother, please think about it for a while."
"Xiandi was nominated for the gold list today. Brother Yu hasn't had time to congratulate you before. Now, congratulations to Xiandi for ranking first in the high school examination."
Being named on the gold medal list is one of the three great joys in life.
Simu Bai congratulated him, and Wei Xiang was naturally not to be outdone. He cupped his hands in front of Jiang Zhao and said, "Congratulations, young master, for being named on the gold list."
It's a pity that he seldom talks, and what he said was just a dry congratulation.
However, Jiang Zhao was still very happy and gave Wei Xiang a virtual hand to help him up.
Then he looked at Si Mubai and asked, "I wonder where brother Mubai is on the list?"
With Simubai's talent and knowledge, he will definitely be on the list, but I don't know where he will be, but I think his ranking shouldn't be too low.
"Brother Fool is ashamed. He has studied for several more years than Brother Xian, but his grades are not as good as Brother Xian. He is only ranked third." Si Mubai said.
If other candidates heard what he said, they would probably come up and beat him up.
He was only at a young age and had already passed the third place in the national examination. He was already a great talent.
In this world, not everyone can be as evil as Jiang Zhao, who topped the examination at the age of sixteen.
Most of the scholars in the Tianyu Dynasty may not be able to pass the examination after taking exams all their lives.
Therefore, Jiang Zhao comforted him and said, "Brother Mu Bai won the exam at a young age. How can you belittle yourself?"
"If even you belittle yourself, how should the scholars in the world deal with themselves?"
Si Mubai looked at Jiang Zhao with a smile and did not reply.
For some reason, even after only a few days of separation, he couldn't stop missing Jiang Zhao no matter what.
It was obvious that Jiang Zhao had known him for only a year.
During this year, we only met a few times during the provincial examination and the general examination, but otherwise we had no contact.
But when he heard that Jiang Zhao was imprisoned, the only thought in his mind was how to rescue Jiang Zhao.
Si Mubai felt that he was a little bit confused. It would be reasonable if Jiang Zhao was a woman, but Jiang Zhao was a man.
Si Mubai could only attribute all this to the fact that Jiang Zhao was still young and he acted like this out of brotherly friendship.
