On this day, Tang Yin ordered Zhu Hao to go with him to watch the announcement of the results, in order to prevent the situation where no one could be found every time the results were released. At the same time, Jiang Lun, Lu Song, and several guards from the Royal Palace's Yiwei Department were also there.
.
In addition, Yuan Rulin, who took the exam with Zhu Hao, was also on the list, and Zhu Hao also called Sun Ru, his disciple.
Coupled with the retinues brought by Zhu Hao and Tang Yin, this lineup alone makes you feel full of momentum wherever you go.
The announcement of the list is still on the bulletin board outside the Confucian Temple.
The palace reserved seats at a teahouse near Wenwen Temple early in the morning and reserved the entire second floor. When watching the announcement, only a few literate guards would be sent to check, and a group of people might not be needed to crowd in and join in the fun.
"This... you should call me Master... Come on, I've met you, Master Tang."
Zhu Hao smiled and introduced Tang Yin to Sun Ru.
Sun Ru looked at the skinny old man in front of her with a disdainful expression: "I wonder how educated you are?"
Tang Yin originally wanted to see who he was who could make Zhu Hao and Fan Yikuan make a bet, but he was disappointed after seeing it... Now your husband tells you that I am your master, and you actually have the nerve to ask me about my knowledge?
Do you understand what it means to respect teachers and moral principles?
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "The knowledge is not bad, but the important point is that your master is a civil servant, so you have to work hard."
Tang Yin glared at Zhu Hao and thought to himself, if you tell me about my fame and success from your mouth, it's like you are scolding me, do you understand?
Sun Ru, who was quite arrogant at first, seemed to want to have a serious intellectual debate with this guy who was two generations ahead of him. When he heard that the other person was a scholar, his aura suddenly dropped.
"Okay, hurry up to the teahouse and wait... There are not many people coming today. I hope you can all pass smoothly." Tang Yin stopped talking and smiled and greeted a group of people to go to the teahouse.
…
…
Downstairs in the teahouse, there were indeed not as many people watching the exam results as there were during the county and prefectural exams.
But those who come are basically children who have passed the government examination.
In terms of knowledge, the number of people watching the results this time was obviously much higher than the previous ones. These people all seemed to have a refined atmosphere, and they all had an elegant demeanor whether they were sitting, standing or walking.
But Zhu Hao knew that each and every one of these people were just pretending.
"Oh, isn't this Brother Jingyan? You're here to see the results released today? Just ask someone to come and see it... Why do you have to come and be humiliated in person?"
Several scholars who knew Sun Ru came over to welcome him.
They didn't seem to notice the murderous palace guards on the side, who were still teasing Sun Ru.
Sun Ru looked ashamed. After all, he knew that he had little chance of winning the lottery, but he still pretended to be confident and walked with his head held high. Unfortunately, he didn't have the confidence to speak: "My master said, I have a good chance of entering Yixiang.
I think so too, why don’t you come and see it in person?”
"Really? I don't know who it is, Master?"
Several classmates asked questions knowingly and couldn't help but glance at Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao really wanted to say, why don't you pretend to be capable of death? You obviously don't have the confidence, but you insist on saying it as if it's true, and you still say it's me?
Zhu Hao said: "It's me... I said it myself if he can go to school in the county. Do you have any opinions?"
"Ha ha!"
These people couldn't stop laughing.
Someone wanted to get close to Zhu Hao, ready to tease him a few words at close range. Lu Song stepped forward, flashed the sword on his waist, and glared. Several weak scholars across from him were dumbfounded.
What's happening here?
It’s okay to bring a bodyguard with you when you go out, why do you bring a knife?
They look like officers and soldiers!
Several people walked away angrily.
When the group entered the teahouse, Tang Yin reminded: "Don't always report your master's status to others outside. Sometimes it will cause trouble."
This is a reminder to Sun Ru to be low-key and don't always pretend to be in front of others, it's meaningless.
Sun Ru retorted: "My master has mentioned a lot to me. If I don't mention my master's sect, wouldn't it be an insult to my sect?"
"Um!?"
Tang Yin glanced at Zhu Hao, is this the disciple you taught?
Zhu Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Not long after I entered the door, I just taught him how to do knowledge. Before I had time to teach him anything else, Haihan Haihan!"
Tang Yin pointed at Sun Ru and shouted, "It's time to discipline her."
I have a feeling of powerlessness that I can’t teach someone else’s children disobedience, but I can’t help but remind the parents of this child to discipline them well...
Zhu Hao really wanted to say, how do I teach students, do I need you to remind me? If you ask him to call you master, are you really treating him as your disciple?
In some aspects of your character, you are not as good as Sun Ru!
…
…
On the teahouse.
The scenery is very good, opposite is the Confucian Temple, and there is no one to disturb the huge space upstairs. It is very comfortable to lean on the railing and enjoy the cool breeze.
After Tang Yin sat down, he was still explaining the matter to Lu Song: "In the afternoon, Yuan Changshi will also show up. Then we will invite Zhang Tixue to the palace together, and show some dignity along the way, so as not to look like a petty prince."
Lu Song said: "I understand."
Jiang Lun smiled at the side and said: "But I wonder if the prince can pass the Zhang Tixue examination? Mr. Tang, you are the prince's husband, do you know something about his knowledge?"
Tang Yin shook his head: "I just started learning to write articles not long ago, but the meaning of the classics is very fluent, and the articles are similar... But if you want to compare with Zhu Hao..."
At this point, his eyes fell on Sun Ru, and then nothing more happened.
Lu Song and Jiang Lun who were present were not fools. They had seen Zhu Hao's ability for a long time and naturally knew what Tang Yin meant. It was still not enough compared to Zhu Hao, but there was absolutely no problem in surpassing children of the same age. After all, there were so many famous teachers teaching him.
As he was talking, the gongs started beating on the opposite side, and someone from the Confucian Temple came out with a list of articles.
Jiang Lun was a little nervous: "Quick...send someone to take a look."
Lu Song was about to dispatch his men, then thought about it and said, "I'll go in person."
"No, let's wait until the people in front have dispersed before we go."
What Tang Yin meant was, don't rush to the first batch when the list is released. You won't be able to eat hot tofu in a hurry. It's easy to get crowded and it won't be much faster than watching it later.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Sun Ru, who was next to Zhu Hao, had already run downstairs: "Teacher, my disciple will go first!"
Several people upstairs were stunned.
Did he run away in fear?
When they saw Sun Ru running out of the teahouse and squeezing her way into the crowd, everyone realized that Sun Ru was not like those present who could calmly wait for the results. He was anxious to know the answer and couldn't wait to see the results.
Tang Yin taught earnestly: "Zhu Hao, I'm not telling you that there is no need to accept such an out-of-touch disciple just to get angry with Fan Xuezheng. Doesn't it make sense?"
Jiang Lun also smiled and said: "Yes, look at this young man, he can't keep his composure at all... When will he be able to pass the student examination?"
"Just accept it, why bother about anything else?" Zhu Hao smiled and said nothing more. After all, facts speak louder than words, and the result will be soon.
Lu Song still arranged for a guard to go check on the release of the results.
The tea was served here, and before everyone had a chance to take a sip, a man who sounded like a lunatic suddenly shouted loudly from the opposite side: "I'm hit, I'm hit!"
Tang Yin put down the tea cup he picked up, but saw a crowd of people on the opposite side. Sun Ru didn't know how he squeezed in. After watching the results, he actually raised his arms and shouted, which suddenly made the lively scene feel weird. People around him
Everyone avoid this crazy guy.
"What...is going on?"
Jiang Lun stood at the window and looked across, with a puzzled look on his face.
Lu Song looked hesitant: "It seems... Mr. Zhu Xiao's new disciple. He said he passed the exam..."
Tang Yin sighed: "I think he must have missed... he has become a demon."
Since ancient times, stories of people who worked hard for the imperial examination, but ended up with nothing, being dazzled or even deafened when the results were released, and finally going crazy because of their blood and blood, have appeared endlessly in various rumors and even history books. Tang Yin's words seemed to be a criticism of the imperial examination, because he himself was a victim.
.
At the moment, he didn't know whether Sun Ru was real or fake, so Tang Yin said to Lu Song: "Bring him back quickly, so as not to be embarrassed outside."
Although he was not a member of the royal family, he had lost Zhu Hao's face, and Tang Yin, the nominal master, felt that his face was dishonored.
It's a pity that the people sent by Lu Song haven't gone downstairs yet. The guards who were sent to watch the results have rushed back. They hurried upstairs and even before they could catch their breath, they hurriedly said: "You won... Master Zhu's entrance exam to the Central Academy."
, that Mr. Sun also won, ranking sixteenth, but Mr. Yuan..."
Everyone present looked at each other.
I was screaming in my heart, holy shit.
That guy actually passed the high school entrance examination?
From the looks of it, he really doesn't look like a person with that kind of knowledge and ability.
"this……"
Tang Yin just set the tone that Sun Ru failed the exam. At this time, he didn't know what to say. Instead of congratulating Zhu Hao, he looked at Yuan Rulin with regretful eyes. After all, Yuan Rulin was also his student.
The most frustrated person right now is Yuan Rulin.
However, he seemed to have known for a long time that his abilities were not good enough and that he had little chance of passing the examination. Apart from being a little disappointed, he was not too depressed.
Lu Song said with a smile: "Young Master Zhu passed the exam again. It's really gratifying... Hey, the hospital exam is also the exam, plus the county exam and the government exam, is this what is commonly known as Xiao Sanyuan?"
Jiang Lun nodded repeatedly: "This is Xiao Sanyuan... Master Zhu, you are really capable!"
After a few people comforted Yuan Rulin a little, they all began to congratulate Zhu Hao.
At this time, Zhu Hao's attention was focused on the student Sun Ru who was "embarrassing" him outside. At this time, Sun Ru grabbed a person and told them that he had passed the exam. Those who didn't know better thought that this person was really crazy.
Already.
"Hurry up and get the man in. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have brought him here." Zhu Hao did not ask Lu Song for help and directly ordered the retinue he brought to arrest the man.
Tang Yin also realized that Sun Ru outside was a little abnormal, shook his head and said: "Perhaps he has been suppressed for too long... The people he met earlier were still mocking and ridiculing him. Even Fan Xuezheng thought that he was not capable of entering school and asked him to give up the imperial examination.
This road is all for his own good... I didn't want to, but even I took it wrong... Brother Lu, go down and pick him up yourself."
Lu Song went downstairs with a smile.
At first, he didn't take Sun Ru seriously, thinking he was just an arrogant boy who made people laugh. Who knew that under Zhu Hao's cultivation, he actually became a high school student? Thinking of those classmates who ridiculed him before... If this group of people...
If you had failed the exam, you would probably be mad to death right now, right?
Lu Song suddenly felt that meeting Zhu Hao was really a good thing.
