The "Huiyuan" who is the leader of the examination may not necessarily be the top pick, but the ranking will definitely not be far worse.
If he wants to win the top prize, he must first get the top spot in the joint examination. If he does not get among the top ten in the joint examination, he will basically be insulated from the title of "First-A Jinshi".
"Master Lu."
Just as he was thinking about it, someone not far away greeted Lu Fang.
Lu Fang turned his head and looked over.
It's Zhao Xiuyun.
This guy is really close to me.
I encountered this during the examination, but I didn’t expect that I would be assigned to the same examination room in the general examination.
Seeing the warmth in Zhao Xiuyun's eyes, Lu Fang chuckled, "Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Xiuyun walked quickly to Lu Fang and said, "Master Lu is also in this examination room?"
This is really a silly question to ask.
If it weren't for this examination room, how could Lu Fang be standing here.
But this also shows that Zhao Xiuyun is actually a little excited.
It was probably difficult for Lu Fang to understand his current mood.
Zhao Xiuyun was only a scholar in Ningyuan County, and he was among the best in Ningyuan County. In the Jingnan County examination, he was only lucky enough to get stuck in the rear of the car.
Since arriving in Kyoto, he has felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. And after entering the examination room, this feeling became even worse.
Seeing these candidates in the examination room, who were all very impressive, made Zhao Xiuyun feel uneasy and even a little inferior.
He felt that it was probably impossible for him to become a Jinshi, but if he didn't give it a try, he would feel unwilling to do so.
At the moment, he urgently needs someone to express his anxiety, but unfortunately, he doesn't see anyone else he knows. That's why he showed such excitement when he saw Lu Fang.
Lu Fang smiled, nodded and said, "Exactly, you too?"
Zhao Xiuyun turned around and pointed not far behind, "My exam room is over there."
Then he looked back and couldn't wait to sigh: "We in Dayu are really full of talents. Mr. Lu, I'm afraid I won't be able to become a Jinshi."
Lu Fang was a little confused.
Is this guy timid before he fights?
Then I realized that Zhao Xiuyun did look a little haggard, and the high-spiritedness he had when he was in Ningyuan County could no longer be seen on his face.
In Ningyuan County, he was the leader among scholars of his generation. But here, he was indeed too inconspicuous.
Then he said: "Isn't there a head on two shoulders? Why is Brother Zhao suddenly so unsure of himself?"
Zhao Xiujun smiled bitterly, "If I were as talented and knowledgeable as Mr. Lu, I wouldn't be afraid. But among these candidates, I think I'm only at the bottom."
"That also depends on luck."
Lu Fangdao: "Perhaps the exam questions are what you happen to be good at, Brother Zhao. In the past, there were quite a few candidates who ranked low in the exam and won the Jinshi, right?"
This comfort is still somewhat useful.
There was light in Zhao Xiuyun's eyes, and he nodded and said, "That's true."
Then he asked Lu Fangdao: "Which inn in the city will Mr. Lu stay at?"
He said with a bit of embarrassment, "Brother Yang and I, as well as a dozen classmates from Jingnan, are staying in an inn in the north of the city. After the exam, Brother Yang and I will go visit you."
He still wants to have a relationship with Lu Fang.
If Zhao Xiuyun was still a noble scholar in the past, he has also undergone subtle changes since taking part in the interpretation test.
Entering Beijing after passing the exam made him realize the importance of family background.
The candidates who went to Beijing from Jingnan County were clearly divided into two groups.
The first line is like Xue Liangce and others who come from high-ranking families.
On the other hand, they are from ordinary family backgrounds.
Xue Liangce and others have a wide circle of friends, but most of them can only stay in the inn. Even if they want to run around, they don't know where to go.
Not surprisingly, people like Xue Liangce and others, or those who are trying to catch up to Xue Liangce and others, even if they fail to reach the top, they will not be far behind in the future.
At least he can be assigned a good job by the court and fill a decent job vacancy.
But people like them may have to queue up. They may not even be able to get a position until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
Of course Lu Fang could see what Zhao Xiuyun was thinking and said, "I live in the teacher's house."
This is considered a polite refusal.
He doesn't think that being close to Zhao Xiuyun now is helping Zhao Xiuyun. It will only harm him.
Zhao Xiuyun's face instantly turned bitter.
It's not that he didn't remember that Lu Fang was Yu Yuanwei's student, but he just didn't expect that Lu Fang could live in Yu Yuanwei's house.
But he still refused to give up and asked earnestly: "Then can I come to visit you at home?"
Seeing his pitiful look, Lu Fang couldn't bear it. After a moment of silence, he said, "If you want to go, then go!"
It's not like he's definitely going to be implicated.
Besides, there are more and more people who are related to him now, so who does Zhao Xiuyun count?
Thinking of this, Lu Fang had an idea in his mind.
Words don’t blame everyone…
The more people he gets to know and the higher his status is, the more Liang Hanmin will be concerned about if the incident comes to light in the future?
The possibility of angering Yu Yuanwei, Prince Rong's Mansion, Wang Sidong and others is even less likely?
Hey!
It's best to leave a good impression on Liang Hanmin.
If even he is deceived by himself and favors him, then he will have the nerve to pursue others. Unless, Liang Hanmin admits that he is blind.
"well."
Zhao Xiuyun was overjoyed, nodded repeatedly, and then said: "Young Master Lu, I will never forget your great kindness."
Lu Fang really didn't expect that he would be so grateful. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "Brother Zhao is serious."
Zhao Xiuyun turned his head and looked at the candidates who were in small groups or alone, and suddenly said: "I don't know how many of us will be able to take the actual job if we fail."
The Chongqing Dynasty holds imperial examinations every three years, and there are thousands of candidates in the country. In fact, there are only so many officials in the entire court.
Not to mention it is a poor place, in fact, there are many candidates with no background, and it is considered good to be able to get an official position.
There are countless cases where people who passed the examination had to wait for several years before being offered a position.
Lu Fang really didn't expect that Zhao Xiuyun would have so much more on his mind than before after not seeing him for such a short period of time.
This guy obviously said this to himself on purpose.
Do you want me to introduce Yu Yuanwei to him? And put in a good word for him in front of the teacher?
But thinking about it again, it is actually not easy for people like Zhao Xiuyun.
And they are already the most outstanding scholars in Ningyuan. In fact, for a long time in the future, Ningyuan may not be able to have a young scholar like Zhao Xiuyun again.
Anyway, it depends on his own luck.
Lu Fang thought.
Then he said: "You and Brother Yang, it's best to visit the house after the teacher is off on business, and I will introduce the teacher to you."
Zhao Xiuyun was really overjoyed, so much so that he couldn't believe it. His eyes shone, he bowed his hands and bowed, and gave a great gift, "Young Master Lu is a great kindness, I will definitely keep it in my heart."
This is a very solemn way, it can be said that Lu Fang is introduced as his Bole.
Lu Fang shook his head gently and said nothing more.
It's too early to be grateful now... Maybe it will be good if Zhao Xiuyun doesn't hate herself in the future.
