Chapter 946: Expectations Before the Exam
Guangdong Association Hall is brightly lit.
There were almost all Guangdong juren who came to Beijing to take the exam here, making final preparations for the exam a few days later. However, at this time, everyone could no longer concentrate on studying, and seemed to be unable to sleep or eat.
Once they pass this threshold, they will be able to enter the officialdom as Jinshi officers and enjoy endless wealth. If they cannot go to high school, they will have to waste three years.
Although they have obtained tickets to the officialdom, at this point, everyone wants a Jinshi official with an unlimited future to enter the official career, rather than a juren who can only become a county magistrate.
The admission quota for each provincial examination in Guangdong is 75. Due to the low overall level and a thousand miles away from the capital, and too many people have no background, the number of people participating in the examination is about 200.
.
The juren gathered in groups of three or five in the dining room, talking about various things. But there were always people talking about Lin Weiran because this was the topic that attracted the most attention.
Guangdong scholars did not have outstanding results in the imperial examination. Although they also produced top scholars like Lun Wenxu and Lin Daqin, they were still one step lower than other provinces and were at the end of the Southern Score.
It just talks about the Wuwu Endian in the 37th year of Jiajing, but it was the most glorious year in Guangdong. In that year, not only did Guangdong win the most Jinshi, but Lin Wenkui also won six consecutive yuan.
A country is prosperous with one person and one person dies.
With Lin Weiran's sudden emergence and his successful career in the officialdom in recent years, he has become the biggest role model for Guangdong scholars and has also inspired the enthusiasm of Guangdong scholars.
Lin Weiran has become the pride of Guangdong scholars and is highly praised by everyone. Even the arrogant juren is always obediently giving such a great man.
"That year, there was heavy snow in Beijing, and the snowflakes were as big as goose feathers. Our Lin Wenkui came to the capital, but did not go directly to this guild hall, but to the old Guangdong guild hall, which was called Chaozhou guild hall at that time..."
Lin Weiran's past experiences when he came to Beijing, told by an old juren with excellent eloquence, made the juren around him feel relish, as if he had returned to that most glorious time.
It was when he was intoxicated that the old juren suddenly pointed to somewhere and said loudly to everyone: "I remember that in the morning of the exam that year, Lin Wenkui sat in this position and ate breakfast!"
Everyone looked at it with a flash of light, and the value of the seat undoubtedly increased by a hundred times.
Sitting in that position was a young juren, with darker skin than ordinary people. She looked only twenty years old, looked pretty and had a bit of youthfulness all over her body.
He sat at the dining table with his companions, and he was very impressed.
But suddenly the old juren pointed it, and then the entire cafeteria's eyes gathered on him. His pretty face turned red, like a shy big girl.
"Brother Honghai, you are now involved in your teacher's literary fortune. This time it must be a gold list title. It's really gratifying!" A familiar juren looked at Wang Honghai so shy and immediately joked.
This shy young man was Wang Honghai, the new Jie Yuanlang. His father, Wang Yunsheng, was the magistrate of Tong'an County, Fujian. It was also a coincidence that Wang Yunsheng wanted to go to Beijing to resign, so the father and son went to Beijing together.
Wang Yunsheng, who passed through Nanjing, suddenly became seriously ill. He thought he wanted to leave but met Doctor Li who was wandering around, which saved his father from the disaster, and he was able to continue to go to Beijing to participate in the examination.
As soon as he finished speaking, another juren joked: "Lin Wenkui won the top scorer, and Jiang Yuebai, the Jie Yuanlang of Wuwu, was appointed as a Shuji Shi. You can't be inferior to the second level, right?"
Jie Yuanlang, who has been in Guangdong for the past three sessions, seems quite interesting. Not only are they young people who have participated in the provincial examination for the first time, but they are also from western Guangdong, and the two of them are teachers and students.
Lin Qingran was Jie Yuan in the 36th year of Jiajing. Na Zhong was only sixteen years old. Four years later, he presided over the provincial examination in Guangdong, so he became the teacher of Wang Honghai, the new Jie Yuanlang, at the age of 19.
As for Jiang Yuebai, he is Lin Junran's senior brother, and Jie Yuan is only twenty years old.
Guangdong's current literary fortune is booming, and the top two Jie Yuanlang have achieved remarkable results. If Wang Honghai wins another good result, it will undoubtedly make Guangdong scholars completely proud.
"I will do my best to strive for the teacher's face!" Although Wang Honghai knew that the other party was joking about him, he still expressed his will.
Since he is Jie Yuanlang of the new science department and is only twenty years old, he will inevitably be criticized. The good or bad results of his exam in this exam are not only related to his personal future, but also to his teacher.
Fame, so he has to do his best no matter what.
"You guys have to have a good time just kidding! We are all our own family. Although Honghai is talented, how can you disturb him when he participated in the exam for the first time?" An old juren scolded him bluntly.
The two juren were undoubtedly jealous of Wang Honghai. Not only was he a young man named Jie Yuanlang, but Wang Honghai was Lin Qinran's "direct disciple". In the future, he would inevitably receive Lin Qinran's care.
They were scolded at the moment, and they also realized their mistakes. They immediately accompanied Wang Honghai, and Wang Honghai returned the salute respectfully.
The atmosphere of Guangdong scholars is still very good now, but the juren had an idea and suddenly made a proposal: "Brother Honghai, go and invite your teacher over and let him take a half day on the holidays to teach us!"
"Yes! The Jiangxi Guild Hall next door invited the top scorer from Jiwei. We cannot be compared by them!" An experienced juren echoed.
"Yes! Yes! Let's invite the teacher to see how those Jiangxi people show off their power in front of us, so that we can also improve our morale and go into battle!" A new imperial examination officer also agreed.
"Okay! I'll try it tomorrow, but I can't guarantee it will be successful!" Wang Honghai looked at everyone's thoughts and said according to everyone's wishes.
The chief examiner of this session was Yin Tai, and Lin Weiran and Yin Tai were teacher-student relationships. In this special period, although there was not much negative impact on teaching, Lin Weiran might be able to avoid it.
He decided to invite him. As for whether the teacher came or not, it was naturally decided by the teacher. The most important thing was that he believed that the teacher was not such a cautious person and would probably be invited.
The juren naturally knew that Lin Xuran was Yin Tai's disciple. They just encouraged Wang Honghai to try it. As for whether Lin Xuran would come, they would not dare to have too high expectations.
"I just found out that our teacher arrived at the chamber of commerce next door!"
