Zhu Hao made up his mind, no matter what you say, I just won't tell you what kind of articles I wrote.
I'm so anxious for you!
What can you do to me?
Fan Yikuan blew his beard and glared, but Tang Yin found it interesting. He turned to Yuan Rulin and said, "Rulin, tell me what you wrote and see if Fan Xuezheng has any impression."
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Yes, I think Yuan Rulin is also very knowledgeable. Maybe the article that Fan Xuezheng valued was written by him?"
Yuan Rulin was stared at and hesitated for a long time, unable to explain what was happening.
Zhu Hao encouraged: "You don't have to remember everything, just talk about part of it. With Fan Xuezheng's ability, he should be able to count all the articles he has read, right?"
Fan Yikuan glared at Zhu Hao again, with the intent of killing someone in his eyes...
How could he not hear that Zhu Hao was complimenting him in name, but in fact he was trying to conquer his army? If you say you can't remember it... wouldn't it be embarrassing?
Only then did Yuan Rulin reveal part of the article he had written.
After he finished speaking, he was so nervous that he didn't even dare to raise his head.
Fan Yikuan said: "I vaguely remember your article. Apart from other things, your handwriting is neat and well written... By the way, Zhu Hao, aren't you always good at Liu script?"
He turned his face and began to test Zhu Hao again.
We also talked about Zhu Hao’s calligraphy.
Zhu Hao probably felt why Fan Yikuan was sure that the article was written by himself. In child examinations such as the Changshou County Examination, the papers are sealed but not copied after all. It is rare to have a few good writers, and Zhu Hao wrote before
When the articles were shown to Tang Yin, they did not deliberately avoid the issue of fonts. I think Tang Yin later recommended those articles to Fan Yikuan for reading.
Fan Yikuan thought about it, good guy, you can write such proficient Liu style calligraphy at such a young age. You can write better than me, an old guy who has practiced calligraphy for decades. When I marked the exam in the county this time, I saw that
I came across a person who wrote in willow script with perfect proficiency and his articles were extremely sophisticated. Who could I be if it wasn’t you?
Zhu Hao sighed in his heart.
This is probably why he was worried about the shortcomings of taking part in the imperial examination at a young age. If someone wants to target you, they will definitely find some loopholes. Even if you can't recognize it after the paper is sealed, they will cause trouble for you when they see your name after the paper is opened.
Only when he becomes an adult and takes part in the imperial examination will he not be so eye-catching, and his status as a member of the royal family will also bring him some trouble.
Tang Yin saw that Zhu Hao didn't want to answer Fan Yikuan's question, so he smiled and said: "Old Fan, let's do this. I'll show you the article Zhu Hao wrote before and read it carefully. Today you and I will drink together... call Lu Dianzhan. When the time comes,
How about we talk about it over the wine table?"
After saying that, he gave Zhu Hao a look that said, "Wait for me to tell you what the article is about," as if to say, you don't need to tell me what the article is, I'll help you figure out the content, and I'll tell you when I get back, so you know what you're talking about.
…
…
"Where's sir? Why are you leaving?"
Zhu San and Zhu Si waited nervously in the classroom for a long time, but found that only Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin returned to the classroom. Zhu San couldn't help but stretched his head and looked outside, and then asked Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao said: "Maybe he went to drink."
Zhu Sanbian pursed his lips: "It's not late, what are you drinking? Why did Mr. Fan ask you to go out? Mr. Tang was also outside just now, right?"
Zhu Hao smiled and did not answer.
Yuan Rulin was very sincere: "Mr. Fan said that he found a well-written article during marking, and he was sure it was written by Zhu Hao, so he specially asked us to go out and have a look... I also told about my article by the way."
"The results of it?"
Zhu Si also expressed interest.
Even Jinghong couldn't help but look over here, feeling annoyed.
There are people in the court who are good at becoming officials, and there are good gentlemen in the palace who can even take the imperial examination. The tutor in the palace is actually the chief examiner of the county examination? In such a situation... why didn't I take the exam? If I had known earlier, I would have
Go ahead, even if my level is quite different from Zhu Hao's, I'm still not inferior to Yuan Rulin, right?
Write a decent article... I can become famous at a young age, so I don’t have to feel so aggrieved every day.
Zhu Hao smiled and shook his head: "There is no result. I don't want to know the answer in advance, so I didn't say what I wrote. However, Rulin mentioned his article here, and Fan Xuezheng praised him for writing a good article."
"Really? Little Yuanzi, it seems that you are going to be prosperous. When you are admitted to the high school entrance examination, remember to treat us to dinner!" Zhu San said to Yuan Rulin in a sarcastic tone.
Yuan Rulin seemed unable to hear the sarcasm contained in his words. The nervousness just now slowly disappeared and he answered with a smile: "Definitely when the time comes."
"Bah! I don't understand good words, I... forget it, I hope you pass the exam soon, so that you don't have to see your big and annoying face every day! Zhu Hao, I didn't say anything about you, I said
Where is he!"
As an older child, Yuan Rulin stayed in the children's class and behaved foolishly, so he was naturally ostracized.
In Zhu San's mind, the original appearance of this class was just the first few people. Zhu Hao, Jinghong and Lu Bing could be regarded as "one of her own", but Yuan Rulin could not. Who made her want to bully Yuan Rulin but she couldn't because they were smaller in size than others.
She is much taller.
…
…
That afternoon, at the wine table.
Tang Yin filled Fan Yikuan's glass with wine.
It seems that Fan Yikuan's stern face usually seems unkind, but since entering the palace, even Lu Song, who had had a "feast" with Fan Yikuan, felt that Fan Yikuan was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
After knowing him for a long time, I don’t think Fan Yikuan has any airs. Maybe it’s because Fan Yikuan used to be like a “prefectural school principal”. When facing the students of the state school and people who came to ask for help, he deliberately behaved aloof and arrogant, making people stay away and avoid them.
A lot of trouble.
But when he arrived at the palace, no one was worthy of his airs anymore, and he gradually became more approachable.
"Brother Fan, don't be angry with that boy Zhu Hao. I, Tang, have known him for a long time and know that this boy just likes to make trouble. I see that he is calm and reserved sometimes, but in fact he is just a child..."
When Tang Yin was at the wine table, of course he had to say a few words for his good friend, Zhu Hao, who also pretended to be his student.
Fan Yikuan suddenly became serious again: "I won't be as angry as him."
Lu Song thought to himself, why are you still not angry?
Betting with a child is really embarrassing for you!
"Come on, come on, let's drink and drink. Then call Uncle Jiang over and ask him to have a drink and talk with us..."
Tang Yin was like a lubricant in the palace. Even he did not expect that just because he had a reputation as an alcoholic, people in the palace who loved drinking would come to him to drink. No one would accept him and wanted to drink with him.
Well, even if there is no comparison with Tang Yin in terms of poetry and painting, at least he can beat Tang Yin in terms of drinking capacity.
It is also because Tang Yin is a super star-like figure in this era. Others want to make friends with this celebrity, which can greatly increase their own worth. In addition, Tang Yin is bohemian by nature, and this time he took refuge in the palace, without any airs.
Anyone who deliberately seeks friendship can succeed...
Over time, Tang Yin became a popular figure in the palace.
"Uncle Jiang, forget it."
After Fan Yikuan drank two glasses of wine, he looked sad when he heard Tang Yin's words.
It can be said that Tang Yin was a great scholar of the time who was more knowledgeable than himself. No matter how much Lu Song was, he had read books, knew the classics, and understood things. Jiang Lun, that guy... had only read for a few days and still liked to talk. Fan Yikuan hated it the most.
That kind of "white man" who drinks and eats with his teeth and claws, not to mention devaluing himself, is really hard to talk to at the wine table with this kind of person.
Tang Yin is a serious drunkard. As long as he can drink, it doesn't matter what he talks about. He has read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, and he can talk nonsense with anyone for a whole day.
But Fan Yikuan is the kind of reserved person who doesn't like awkward conversations.
Lu Song laughed to himself after hearing this. There is actually someone in the palace who can manage an old scholar like Fan Yikuan? Or is it the always cheerful Jiang Lun?
Maybe Jiang Lun himself didn't know that he would be unpopular with Fan Yikuan, right?
"Brother Fan, why don't you tell me about the article you saw, and I'll look it up for you. By the way, I'll go back and ask Zhu Hao to see if it was really written by him."
Tang Yin explained the main purpose of inviting Fan Yikuan to drink.
You Fan Yikuan wants to trick Zhu Hao, but I also want to trick you.
How could Fan Yikuan, who was so cunning, easily fulfill Tang Bohu's wish? There was a smile on his face, although his expression looked a bit stiff.
"Speaking of which, the quality of the candidates in this county examination is uneven. Many of them only wrote a few sentences. There are many articles with crude words... Even the wrong questions rarely have more than ten words..."
First, Tang Yin's appetite was whetted. Just when Tang Yin thought that Fan Yikuan was about to talk about the article that was almost a model essay, the old guy suddenly changed the topic: "By the way, Lu Dianzhan, my son has been practicing martial arts recently, but he has missed a lot of classes.
Time."
Lu Song was a little confused, why did this happen to my son?
Tang Yin looked back at Lu Song and said with a smile: "Lu Bing is the eldest son of Lu Dianzhan's family. He will definitely inherit the military position in the future. It was I who told Lu Dianzhan to let his son participate in martial arts competitions as much as possible..."
Lu Song also said: "I have little talent and little knowledge. I wonder if I don't have a scholarly family inheritance. It would be difficult for Quanzi to take the imperial examination path like Zhu Hao and others. It is better... to be more pragmatic."
When they were at the Confucian Temple before, Lu Song had a heated exchange with Fan Yikuan.
Now he is his son's teacher... It's okay to criticize him inwardly, but he still needs to show respect on the surface.
Fan Yikuan nodded: "Actually, Lu Bing's talent and learning are not very bad. He has some foundation, but compared to Zhu Hao and Jinghong... or even the prince, there is still a gap..."
Tang Yin smiled and said: "How old is Lu Bing? It's really difficult for him to be a child and study with some older children. Brother Fan, let's talk about that article?"
Fan Yikuan had a secretive smile on his face.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, he became a little drunk and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Don't say it, don't say it! Don't do things that break the rules. After all, the county examination has not yet been held. If you say it at this time, I'm afraid it will arouse criticism."
Fan Yikuan just couldn't bear to say anything.
Tang Yin was anxious.
You are trying to trick Zhu Hao about feelings!
If Zhu Hao had said what his article was like at that time, you wouldn't have told Zhu Hao whether that article was the one you saw, just so that you could have an idea, right?
You can do it, Lao Fan, I, Tang, am the one who underestimated you!
