Zhu Dinghe grunted: "Fake foreign devil, isn't it because my wife is not here? If the classmates are in need, I will treat them as a guest. Don't talk about such romantic things, what benefits will you bring to us?" I was thinking in my heart what if I
As young and handsome as you are, even prostitutes would fall for you.
Li Guolou glanced at him and said, "I just came to see what you were doing. I was so angry. Anyway, you ran to Baozhifang more diligently than me. I'll make it clear to you that when the results are released, don't leave."
Come to me."
There is a limit to freeloading. After the results were released in April, Li Guolou stopped allowing five fellow students to freeload.
"Hey hey hey hey!" The five students scratched their heads in embarrassment. Scholars want to save face, but when they think of delicious food, they can't help but go to Baozhifang to eat. Of course, it's all about keeping accounts. Even if they have money, they won't pay it back. It's unfair.
Well! Five students eat, who pays the bill?
"Fake foreign devil, didn't you say I can't go to high school? I'll treat you to a treat then!" Zhu Dinghe was a thief at the threshold. He didn't say to pay the debt, but that he wanted to have a good time when he was named on the gold list.
"Have you memorized all the scriptures?" Li Guolou picked up a Book of Songs on the table and prepared to test Zhu Dinghe like a teacher.
The scientific examination is divided into three days. One day is the scripture test. How to take the test? It is a fill-in-the-blank question. A familiar scripture has a few missing lines for the candidates to fill in the blanks. This is the skill of rote memorization. There are no other tricks. Science began in the Sui Dynasty.
The examination lasted until the Qing Dynasty, with only the Yuan Dynasty suspending it for several decades. This is why literati said that the Yuan Dynasty was short-lived. A dynasty cannot last long without the support of literati. Therefore, Jinshi have super strong memory ability, especially these
The Han people have no tricks. They just fight their way out of the examination room on the same road as Huashan.
"It's on my back!" Zhu Dinghe was the first to shout loudly, with his chest raised and his belly protruding.
"Write the third poem "Juan Er" for me silently, and I will treat the guests and give them a reward of silver, and the wrong ones will stay in the hall and eat dried radish." Li Guolou picked up the Book of Songs and read it, opening the third poem.
If you make mistakes in dictation, you will never want to be a Jinshi in this life.
"Okay!" The five students understood that Li Guolou had good intentions and wanted to treat them to a meal. They all sat down to polish their ink and spread out rice paper to write "The Book of Songs; Juan Er".
Scripture: Picking the rolled ears, the basket will not be full. I am pregnant with people, and I will carry them around. I will guard the Cui Wei, my horse and the raccoon. I will drink the golden beast, so that I will not be pregnant forever. I will guard the high hills,
My horse is black and yellow. I drink the wine from him so that he will not be hurt forever. He is beating him, my horse is dying, my servant is dying, why should I care?
Li Guolou walked around and watched the five students writing, and shouted: "You are not allowed to write typos! Don't tell me about false characters, just write whatever is written in the book."
Li Guolou looked at the words in the book, shook his head and sighed. There were several words that he knew how to read when he saw them, but he could only memorize them but not write them. Strange words were hard to guard against. Words that were not usually used appeared in the Five Classics.
.
Li Guolou looked over and sighed: "Cao Kexing, you should go home and sell sweet potatoes. You are very old, so you should give the opportunity to young people."
"Chichi chichi!" The other four students sneered. Some people were destined to be in vain, and there was no hope of success no matter how hard they persisted.
Cao Kexing threw away his brush, his face not red, his heart not beating, and he said boldly: "I just like to write false characters, and this problem cannot be changed. My dear brother Guolou, my strength is strategy, and I have unique insights into the future direction of the country."
.”
How could Li Guolou really not invite one of them? He said helplessly: "Okay, I'll listen to your wise words when we have a drink."
I crossed out Cao Kexing in my mind. He would be a teacher, a eloquent person, or at worst a litigator.
"Oh;;;;;;" the other four students threw out their pens. They did it with one stroke of their pen, expressing their writing skills freely and vividly.
"Where's the reward?" Fan Dahui stretched out his plump hand.
"Fan Tong, you owe me the most. When you become an official in the future, don't turn your back on me." Li Guolou teased the fat man Fan Dahui. People with a big appetite will eat up his restaurant.
"Fake foreign devil, I know how much I weigh. I won't be promoted as fast as you in the future. Master Zhongtang is not my uncle." Fan Dahui took it for granted that Li Guolou could become a ninth-rank official in such a short time after entering the Ministry of Justice.
They thought that Li Guolou had taken advantage of Li Hongzhang. Others thought so too, and they all mocked Li Guolou for his good fortune.
"Uncle!" Li Guolou couldn't hold it any longer and vented his dissatisfaction, saying angrily: "Oh! You think I rely on my uncle for my promotion and fortune. I don't know how much money has been wasted, just because my uncle wants to suppress
Me, it's a stumbling block for me. I even visited his old man, but he refused to accept me. He would rather meet a down-and-out official in the capital than me. I have the official title I have today because Mr. Bao appreciates me, and my uncle does not.
It doesn't matter, I can get around in the capital thanks to my ability to solve crimes. If you have any difficulties in this area in the future, I will be lenient."
"I believe what the fake foreign devils say. Just look at the fat pigs in the fake foreign devils' pen, and you will know who he relies on!" Fan Dahui started to clean up Li Guolou's family in front of Li Guolou.
Amidst the sneers, Li Guolou laughed happily and said with a ferocious smile: "Fan Tong, I hold a grudge this time. Don't beg me again in the future."
"Oh, brother Guolou, where are you and I? I'm a bitch and I know I was wrong. I promise I won't make such a joke in the future." Fan Dahui knew that the joke had gone too far, so he quickly hooked Li Guolou and got close to him.
.
"Hey, for the sake of our fellow countrymen, I'll teach you a trick. Don't make fun of each other in the officialdom. It doesn't matter if you make fun of yourself. Making fun of your fellow officers will have bad consequences. I can achieve my current status because of
Because I never speak ill of my fellow officers. If you learn this trick well, you will enjoy it throughout your life and ensure that you will be a tumbler in the officialdom." Li Guolou has high hopes for these fellow civilians and hopes that they can support each other in the officialdom in the future.
"Then how to deal with the room master?" Zhu Dinghe asked what he was most concerned about, how to deal with the examiners of the scientific examination.
"Well, these seven examiners, let me tell you the truth, this time the scientific examination admitted about 200 people, more than a hundred less than usual." Li Guolou revealed the secret of the scientific examination, every time
The number of Jinshi places admitted by the state is different. Jinshi are reserve talents for state officials. The number of Jinshi places selected depends on the social situation.
"Ah! Why are there so few?" Zhu Dinghe was so anxious that his face turned red and his neck thickened. Everyone knew in their hearts that most of the places for Jinshi must be reserved for Manchus, and the subjects for Manchu Jinshi are much easier than those for Han people. The test is Chinese.
Translated into Manchu and Manchu into Chinese.
Li Guolou smiled and said: "After the war, the army will be laid off, and those warriors will want to join politics, right? The more than 100 places are for retired soldiers. If you can't pass the exam this time, you will have to wait at least two more years before you have the chance.
If any of you haven't passed the examination, come back to the capital in two years and come and play with me."
"Hey;;;;;;" The five students couldn't help but feel depressed when they heard what Li Guolou said. They spent all their time studying, but the hope of success was slim. Thousands of people competed for less than 100 places, which made it even more difficult.
Li Guolou refrained from saying anything. There were still quotas for the examiners in each room. At least half of the number of examiners had to be reduced. The actual number of people admitted in the scientific examination was only fifty or sixty Han students. The Manchus cheated more than the Hans.
Cruel, if he enters the examination room, he will also be one of the students who cheats.
Li Guolou smiled and said: "Don't be discouraged. You are standing on the wall holding an umbrella. You are so scared. Look what I have brought to you." As he spoke, Li Guolou opened his leather bag and took out a jade pendant.
"Give it to me!" Zhu Dinghe suddenly snatched the jade pendant and put it on his waistband with a smile on his face.
The other people were not as quick-witted as Zhu Dinghe. When they looked through Li Guolou's leather bag, there was no jade pendant left. They all shouted that Li Guolou was unfair. Fan Dahui beat his chest and feet. He was the closest to Li Guolou, but he left the opportunity to Zhu Dinghe. Why?
Don't let him feel heartbroken.
Li Guolou laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, I said there is a reward, you can do it with magic."
Li Guolou came up with the close-up magic trick at his fingertips. After a few tricks, everyone had a gift in their hands.
"Oh! I know how fake foreign devils can seduce big women, just by this trick." Zhu Dinghe didn't dare to go too far and stopped at the point he made.
"Lao Zhu, a woman is a woman, why do you need to add a big character?" Fan Dahui healed the scar and forgot about the pain, so he jumped out and added another sentence.
"Hehehehe!" Everyone covered their mouths and laughed tacitly. Age is not a distance. Five people who are one generation apart are as close as brothers. They sleep on the same kang, drink a pot of porridge, and have sex with prostitutes in turn. Although they are poor,
students, but as long as one person becomes enlightened, the other four will benefit for life, and the fellow villagers are so united. This kind of relationship can be seen everywhere in the Qing Dynasty. Unless like Bao Yiyi and Wu Defu, they sleep with their brother's wife, then they will draw the sword.
If you go against each other, you will put your fellow villagers to death.
In the past, Li Guolou felt that he had endless things to talk about when he was with five fellow villagers, but now Li Guolou is not very interested in talking nonsense with such a frog in the well. Personal attacks, slandering each other, and pretending to be clowns are some of these little tricks.
Scratching an itch.
After becoming a fish in water in the officialdom, what can a country bumpkin like him who has never seen the world talk about? Li Guolou suddenly felt that he had become a snob, and what kind of people should he deal with?
Talking about uninteresting topics.
Suddenly Li Guolou realized that he was really made to be an official. He spoke with an official accent and showed official power. The official uniform made him become a different kind of person. This was not his real self, but just the appearance of wearing official uniform.
That fake person.
Li Guolou took off his official uniform and said with a casual smile: "Lao Zhu, lend me a piece of clothing. I feel awkward wearing this dress and you are all afraid of me."
"You told me earlier, I'll put it on and see." Zhu Dinghe took off his clothes without thinking too much, looked at the "stranger" in official uniform in the mirror with a smile, laughed loudly, and said: "It's better
I dress appropriately, don’t you think?"
"I'm sick (nauseous)!" Fan Dahui didn't change his accent and pretended to be vomiting.
Li Guolou swung his sleeves, bowed and saluted: "Master Zhu, I will give you one tael of tattooed silver. I hope you will accept it."
"Fuck you!" Zhu Dinghe lifted his official robe and shouted angrily: "That mother's land is sending beggars. I'll give you a hard time! (I'll kick you to death)"
"Zhu Bajie, I'm a scumbag on Batu Road and I'll beat you up! (I'll stone you to death)" Li Guolou did not forget the local dialect and blurted out the curse words.
Only then can we have the friendship of fellow villagers. It’s so great! (Enjoyed) Li Guolou smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. There was no intrigue, no need to think about the consequences of scolding, the people in the room seemed to have returned to their hometown, pretending to be bandits like they did when they were children.
Buying road money at Qiaotou is the addiction of the king of Zushan.
These five students from the same hometown are Li Guolou's reserve talents. The Wu Di team uses people from Jianghu, and the Wen Di team uses hometown people as the most reliable. As long as Li Guolou is promoted, these students from the same hometown will rely on them. Only by forming a team can we be invincible.
, Li Guolou has seen how people who are forward-looking hold their weapons high.
