Chapter 280 Inside Information (Seeking Monthly Ticket)
The first session of the county examination is very important, and the grading is more rigorous, but usually the results will be announced within three days.
The day after the exam, the Zhu family sent someone to come, but it was not the domineering Zhu Wanjian before, but Zhu Wanquan, a gentle man who had no hostility towards the third room of the Zhu family. He didn't bring any entourage when he came, it was like he came to the city to do business.
, dropped by to visit Zhu Niang.
"... I wonder how Zhu Hao did in this exam? According to the county exam rules, as long as he passes the first exam, he can take the government exam."
Zhu Wanquan is a member of the family, he is not old, and he is the kind of person in the Zhu family who has nothing to do with the world.
Zhu Niang smiled bitterly and replied: "Xiao Hao did not return home after finishing the exam. He stayed in the palace and did not have time to ask about the situation."
Zhu Wanquan asked in confusion: "Since the exam is over, why don't you come back?"
Zhu Niang was still a little wary of the fourth brother of the family, and said with an evasive tone: "I said there are still a few exams in the future, so I can study with peace of mind in the palace, and if I pass the county exam, the government exam will follow one after another.
Yes, you need to prepare well for the exam... Everything is to enter school early."
"I see."
Zhu Wanquan nodded, suddenly thought of something, and sighed, "The teachers in the palace are all at least candidates and Jinshi, and they have rich experience in teaching and educating people. Since they think that Zhu Hao can take the county examination at a young age, they must think that he can
With such strength, in the past county examinations, as long as he was taught by a famous teacher, it would not be difficult to pass...it only depends on whether his essays can meet the examiner's expectations."
Compared with the Zhu family's opposition to Zhu Hao's imperial examination, Zhu Wanquan stood with the third brother of the Zhu family on this matter and fully supported it.
And he felt that Zhu Hao was capable.
Zhu Niang raised her head and asked: "My fourth uncle has the knowledge to take Xiaohao's exam before. How sure are you that he will pass the county exam?"
Zhu Niang didn't have much confidence in this matter.
The son is studying in the palace, which seems to be a smooth path, but after all, it has been less than two years since he entered the palace, and the time for enlightenment is only so long. How can he actually take the imperial examination?
Is the threshold for the imperial examination too low?
Zhu Wanquan shook his head and said: "There was no formal test on Xiaohao's knowledge that day, but he was very observant of people and had extraordinary insights. Apparently his teacher had made great achievements in teaching reading and being a good person. By the way, Sister-in-law-3 never asked.
Clearly, who is Zhu Hao’s husband? It is said that his surname is Lu, but why has this person...never heard of his name?"
When Tang Yin entered the palace to teach, Zhu Niang once told the Zhu family that her son's enlightenment teacher was "Mr. Lu".
As the secret agents stationed by the imperial court in Anlu, the Zhu family was responsible for investigating all the secrets of Prince Xing's Mansion, but this "Mr. Lu" could not be found out no matter how hard he searched. This person seemed to appear out of thin air.
There is always a bit of fame in the exams, such as which year and which year they won the exam, how many candidates were selected in the provincial examination, who was their teacher, who were their classmates...
When it reaches the level of Juren, it will be recorded in county annals in various places, and its name will be left in history, which can be checked.
When Zhu Niang heard Zhu Wanquan's praise for Teacher Zhu Hao, she felt somewhat comforted. After all, she knew very well that he was the famous Jiangnan talent Tang Yin. Although she, a woman, did not have an intuitive understanding of talents and names, she also understood that since he
With such a big reputation, you must have some real ability, right?
Not only did the fourth brother of the family think that Zhu Hao's husband was capable, he not only taught his son how to read, but also taught him how to behave.
"Actually, I don't know much about it. I just know that he is a great sage hired by the palace."
Of course Zhu Niang would not betray Tang Yin, so she could only avoid the important points and answer lightly.
Zhu Wanquan nodded: "If I have the chance, I really want to visit... Also, I heard that a famous Confucian named Fan, a former scholar in Honshu, is now teaching in the palace. It is said that he made a bet with a child in the palace, and the child said that he would
Cultivating a child to become a health worker, does the third sister-in-law know about this?"
Anlu is not a big place, so a small incident can spread a lot. Zhu Wanquan, as a scholar and a student member, often went to the city to participate in cultural gatherings, so of course he heard about this incident.
Zhu Niang shook her head: "I've never heard of it."
She didn't lie about this. The matter had nothing to do with her in the first place, and Zhu Hao would not tell his mother in detail about the bet with Honshu Qianzhou Xuexuezheng, otherwise Zhu's mother would definitely feel that her son was arrogant and scold her severely.
Zhu Wanquan smiled and said: "I think it may be someone with a distinguished status in the palace, but it is unlikely to be Xiao Hao... How can he cultivate a child who has passed the palace examination?"
Originally, Zhu Wanquan also suspected that the child in the rumors was his nephew, but after all, Zhu Hao was only nine years old and had not even passed the county examination. How could he make a bet with the great scholar Fan Yikuan?
How arrogant Fan Yikuan is. As a student of Zhou Xue, Zhu Wanquan certainly knows that he is half a teacher. In his opinion, the fact that Fan Yikuan made a bet with a child is absurd. It is possible that the child is the prince of the palace.
, the status is equal.
If I bet with Zhu Hao...
Unless Fan Yikuan is crazy.
Zhu Wanquan obviously didn't come here to cause trouble for the orphans and widowers.
The Zhu family had previously tried to prevent Zhu Hao from taking the county examination. Now that he had passed the examination, they should wait until it was confirmed after the county examination that Zhu Hao had failed. Only then would they have reason to come and mock Zhu Hao and her son for being restless.
"Third sister-in-law, if Zhu Hao comes back, if he has time, let him go out with me more often to meet Confucian scholars in this county. It will be good for his academic progress." Zhu Wanquan stood up to leave and sent out an invitation.
Naturally, Zhu Niang would not agree to let Zhu Hao go out with the Zhu family elders, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Zhu family.
But she would not refuse when facing Zhu Wanquan. She nodded and said, "I will tell him when he comes back."
…
…
The afternoon after the county examination.
Fan Yikuan reappeared in school.
At this time, Fan Yikuan looked even more aloof and arrogant. After entering the school, he immediately called Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin to the courtyard outside, and then Tang Yin and Lu Song appeared. It seemed that Tang Yin specially invited Fan Yikuan.
"I went to the Confucian Temple at noon yesterday and have graded more than 100 papers today. I will not participate in the grade review again... Relatively speaking, teaching the prince is more important."
Fan Yikuan made an opening statement, which probably meant that even if I am very talented and knowledgeable and have the ability to distinguish among those who take the county examination, in order to teach the prince, I cannot continue to select talents for the court, but focus on errands for the palace.
Zhu Hao thought to himself, if you don't do your job and insist on going to mark the exam, you shouldn't have accepted the invitation yesterday.
Tang Yin smiled and said: "Fan Xuezheng continues."
Fan Yikuan looked at Zhu Hao and said: "Among the more than 100 papers, I found one paper that was written in a different way. His talent and knowledge were obviously much higher than those of his fellow examiners. And I had read Zhu Hao's paper before.
The article you wrote should be written by you."
Zhu Hao saw Tang Yin's narrow eyes as he looked over, and suddenly understood why Tang Yin came to listen.
Is this considered a terrace near water?
I was studying in the palace, and when I took the county examination, the teacher in the palace was the marking officer. How could I tell which article was mine? If I told you this, others would think there was something fishy in it.
But the problem is, Fan Yikuan is not the kind of person who is easy to get along with. Maybe he saw that the article was written by me, and then deliberately judged me as inferior?
Zhu Haodao: "Fan Xuezheng, I don't understand what you are saying. There are so many articles, how can you be sure that the article must be written by me? Articles can be made a thousand miles away if they are missed. Is it because I am different from the previous ones in terms of sentences?
The similarities between the articles make you notice any differences?"
Fan Yikuan said with a straight face: "Then how did you write your article?"
This question is very straightforward.
Fan Yikuan found a very good article and thought it was written by Zhu Hao. When he came back, he asked me what kind of article you wrote and compared it with each other.
Zhu Hao shook his head and refused to answer.
Tang Yin said: "Zhu Hao, you don't need to hide it. Fan Xuezheng is no longer participating in the subsequent examinations. He made up his mind before going to the Gongyuan Academy yesterday for examinations... He will not go back after he comes out."
In every county examination, because the examiners are looking for famous Confucian scholars in the same prefecture or nearby state capitals, it is inevitable that the disciples of these famous Confucian scholars will take the exam in the county, or the students in the county know them and know who will be the candidates.
Participate in the grading work, take the opportunity to ask them to tell them how your article is written, and then bribe them.
Therefore, the marking officers will enter the exam room on the day of the exam and will not come out until the marking is over. Those who come out in the middle will not participate in the subsequent marking work, in order to prevent secret communication between inside and outside.
Zhu Hao sighed: "I have a bad memory and can't remember what I wrote."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Song couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was obvious that Zhu Hao was playing with Fan Yikuan in the lake.
Fan Yikuan looked unhappy: "You are a child, but you have so many thoughts. Do you think I would sincerely select candidates with a similar writing style to yours and deliberately give bad reviews to make things difficult for you? I really don't know...
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to talk about it, I specially recommended that article to Kuang Zhizhou, and all the reviewers were full of praise after reading it... If nothing else, it will be ranked at the top of the list! If it weren't for you, I would be very happy
disappointment!"
Are you disappointed?
Disappointed for what?
Zhu Hao was a little confused.
Tang Yin next to him said with a smile: "Zhu Hao, Fan Xuezheng actually agrees with your knowledge and wants to know in advance whether that article was written by you. After all, he has read a lot of excellent articles from yesterday to today, and most of the people who can look forward to him are
They have been selected in advance.”
Fan Yikuan had a bit of pride on his face.
Zhu Hao finally understood why Fan Yikuan said that he had only read more than a hundred test papers, and those with poor emotional skills were not qualified to let him mark the papers.
The general meaning is that as long as you tell me the article you wrote, I will know whether you are among the 100 or not, and I will even know your ranking. This is equivalent to letting you know in advance whether you have passed the county examination.
Seducing me?
Let me know the exam information in advance?
I won’t be fooled!
Zhu Hao didn't think that the article he wrote was too outrageous, but he didn't want to follow the facts.
Even in the first four essays on rituals and music he wrote during the county examination, he only dressed himself up as a loyal and upright person. Kuang Yangming, the author of the question, did not say that he was targeting Prince Xing's Mansion. Why do you think I was targeting Prince Xing's Mansion?
who?
"Fan Xuezheng, my two articles were not very well written. Maybe they didn't pass your notice, and I'm afraid I will disappoint you!" Zhu Hao's attitude was that if you don't tell me, there is nothing you can do about it, which made Fan Yikuan very angry, but he
There is nothing you can do.
