It was late at night and the party had not yet ended. Chen Feng told the curious people about Qin Dewei's deeds.
"So two years ago Qin Banqiao went to the capital to save people, and denounced Zhang Shoufu, Fang Ge Lao, and Wang Shangshu as the three traitors, earning him the reputation of the Four Iron Righteous Soldiers.
Moreover, he also had a deep feud with Huo Zhongcheng, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and also caused trouble with Mr. Zhai Ge.
But at that time, Qin Banqiao did not expect that he would be able to pass the Spring Festival this year, while his enemies were still in court."
Everyone knew the imperial examination procedure and immediately realized that the people Qin Dewei had offended were all likely to appear in the imperial examination.
Thinking of this, I can't help but sigh. This fate is really wonderful.
Chen Feng sighed and said: "We in Nanjing have had a poor literary reputation for many years, and it took a hundred and fifty years for a genius like Qin Banqiao to emerge.
In my opinion, with Qin Banqiao’s talent, he also has the ability to win the first prize in the imperial examination, but it is a pity that his luck is so bad!"
Everyone has been through the examination room for many years and understands it very well.
For many high-spirited geniuses, the eight-part essay may be mediocre, or it can be said that they are restricted by the subject matter and genre and cannot display their talents.
For example, Mr. Wen failed the provincial examination nine times...
However, the Imperial Examination is a prose-based strategy, and there is a lot of room for personal development. If the results are still not good, it will be a real shame for a talented person who prides himself on being knowledgeable.
The key is that the imperial examination only comes once in a lifetime. Once you pass it, it is gone. There is no second chance.
Xu Gu felt that he had not performed well tonight, and felt sorry for Qin Dewei's help in getting Huiyuan, so he quickly followed up and said:
"Yes, it's true! Worry about the imperial examination is the reason why Qin Banqiao is depressed!
Please listen to the last sentence in the poem. It misleads people by saying that he is smart. Isn’t it a portrayal of his sadness, anger and helplessness?
This sentence has the same meaning as Dongpo's sentence, "I have been fooled by my cleverness all my life. So I can only say that I am a melancholy guest in the world!"
Everyone could only complain silently, these are actually the Versailles bodies of geniuses!
At this time, Zheng Ziyun brought out the piano and practiced the two lyrics.
The person is beautiful and the words are beautiful, but it is a pity that they are not my own.
After admiring it, everyone dispersed, those with money stayed overnight, and those without money returned to their residences.
When we said goodbye to each other, I thought about Qin Dewei who left early, and then thought about the two poems that were destined to be widely circulated, and I felt very emotional in my heart.
Hu Zongxian looked at the banquet bill sadly. He was really good at writing poems. Even if he was unhappy, he could still rely on poems to make everyone know and sympathize.
But who can understand Hu Baoyue's sadness?
After the half-drunk Qin Dewei left Jiaofangsi Hutong, he did not go home, but went directly to Xu's house.
"Congratulations, sir, for being on the top list!" Xu Miaoxuan welcomed Qin Dewei in and saluted with a smile.
Xu Miaoxuan, who is already twenty years old, has endured ten years from Jiajing to now, and has become an old girl. She finally looks like she is coming to an end.
She was extremely excited when she saw the young man who was gradually matching the ideal template and was about to be named on the gold medal list.
If he passes the Jinshi exam and ranks among the Immortal Class, he is definitely going to do it!
Xu Miaoxuan felt that the deep love in her heart could not help but flow out, and she took the initiative to step forward and give Xiao Langjun the most enthusiastic hug.
In the world of mortals, there are two great joys in life. Whatever happens tonight is fine!
Still worried, Qin Dewei raised his legs and walked towards Xu Miaojing's house, unintentionally dodging Sister Xuan's emotional embrace.
As he walked, he asked: "Where is my little brother? I'm looking for him in a hurry!"
Xu Miaoxuan: "..."
Hearing the cry, Xu Miaojing opened the door of the house inexplicably. Didn't Qin Dewei say that whenever you come over, Xu Miaojing should try to stay in the house and not come out?
Qin Dewei asked: "Last time you submitted a letter because of rumors about the five-person list, did you submit the letter directly yourself, or did you submit it through Dongchang?"
Xu Miaojing replied: "The factory owner took it away and said that he would submit it in person."
Qin Dewei then said: "Then Dongchang must have received the order to investigate by the way. Go to Dongchang and ask if you can accept this task?"
Xu Miaojing didn't understand very much, "This rumor can't be found at all, and it doesn't do much harm. The so-called investigation is probably symbolic. Dongchang probably doesn't take it seriously. What's the point of getting this mission?"
Qin Dewei instructed: "Go if you are told! It will work!"
Thinking of the young and beautiful maid's promise, Xu Xiaodi had no choice but to agree, "I know, I'll go to Dongchang tomorrow and ask!"
Qin Dewei nodded, "Let's do this for now, and I'll tell you what to do later."
On the other side of the room, Xu Miaoxuan held the door, puffing out her chest, biting her lips, her eyes very bright and burning, looking at a certain prospective Jinshi named Qin who came out of the younger brother's room and was only a few feet away from her.
"It's very late. You should go to bed early and don't be too tired. I still have something to do and go to see Teacher Zhang next door." Qin Dewei warned him in a warm and manly manner, and then walked out again.
The next morning, when Xu Xiaodi got up to have breakfast, he felt that his sister's face was very gloomy and terrifying, so he did not dare to stay at home any longer.
Thinking of Qin Dewei's instructions, he put down his bowls and chopsticks and slipped out, heading straight to the Dongchang Yamen office outside Dong'an Gate.
Every month around the end of the month or the beginning of the month, Eunuch Qin would summon the stall owners and lecture the deacons and officials from Fusi in Jinyiwei North Town.
When Xu Xiaodi arrived at Dongchang, he happened to catch up with Eunuch Qin's monthly lecture, so he hid in the corner and waited.
Eunuch Qin, who was extremely attentive, still remembered that at the beginning of the month, the emperor gave him a blowjob and waited for the examination to be over to check the list of examiners for rumors.
Although we all know that this is a formalistic task, we still have to follow the formality.
After the training, Eunuch Qin casually asked, who is willing to take on this task?
No one came forward to claim it for a while. There was really no benefit to this task, no credit could be seen, and no one was interested. Besides, it was even more thankless to have to deal with Juzi.
This was all expected by Eunuch Qin. When he was thinking about appointing a random person, he saw Xu Miaojing approaching the front.
Eunuch Qin thought for a moment and made a judgment.
Perhaps someone behind Xu Miaojing was afraid that he would be traced, so he ordered Xu Miaojing to take over the task and block the possibility of others finding out the truth?
This little brat has a very strong sense of safety.
"Then this job will be given to you! Report back in five days!" Eunuch Qin ordered.
In fact, other old people are still very hostile to Xu Miaojing. Although the factory guard system is huge, the number of good pit positions is limited after all.
Xu Miaojing, an idle rookie commander with no fixed job, would show his face in front of the factory boss whenever he had nothing to do, and his intention to fight for his job was obvious!
However, no one was competing for Xu Miaojing's job this time.
It's not an economical job. If there is nothing to investigate about this expired rumor, let the newcomer do it stupidly.
