"Master Ge is here!"
Concubine Yu murmured to herself, Princess Yongping was greatly surprised, the Madam Dowager was confident, and Zhu Ying ran down the stairs without saying a word, holding up her skirt. When she got down to the first floor, she saw Zhang Shou had come forward and supported Ge Yong's arm very warmly. And next to him was Qi Jingshan, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
I used to think you were kind and honest. I'll settle the score with you when I get back!
Although Ge Yong did not say it directly, Zhang Shou still saw such language from the teacher's eyes, and couldn't help but cough twice with a guilty conscience. He really didn't expect Ge Yong to come today, and he was planning to bring Deng Xiaodai and Qi Liang to pay a visit later, and then tactfully point out the matter of fabricating the teacher's quotations, but he didn't expect to be caught in the act.
All in all, including the fact that he renovated Cuiyun Room and recruited students, this fake Li Kui has run into the real one twice... If he hadn't been good at math in his previous life and was able to bring a surprise to Ge Yong, this teacher would probably be furious right now, right
The more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for Ge Yong, so he said sincerely: "Teacher, I have some ideas about Tianyuanshu..."
Ge Yong's eyes lit up immediately, and he smiled and said to Qi Jingshan beside him: "Old Qi, let me tell you, this kid has a lot of stuff in his belly. Instead of wasting time in this kind of literary meeting, why not bring him back to help us!"
Qi Jingshan was so angry that he laughed. In the past, it was always another old friend, Old Man Chu, who was arguing with Ge Yong, and he would watch the fun from the sidelines, but at this moment, he couldn't help himself: "Helping? You were having a lot of fun using various formulas to make secret codes for what Zhang Shou said yesterday, and you even kept dragging me along in the middle of the night. Give me a hundred disciples who can help like this!"
"There isn't one! Go find it yourself!"
However, the two old men acted as if no one was around and were talking, so the other candidates couldn't sit still and came forward to greet them.
Ge Yong is the Grand Tutor, so Qi Jingshan must not neglect him. Before he retired, he was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites! Although he had never presided over the imperial examinations, he also had many students...
Xu Fengyang, who had just launched a protest in public but was met with retort, now stood out as the only one among the crowd!
Seeing Zhu Ying running out of Yuehua Tower like a gust of wind, and directly supporting Qi Jingshan, calling him Grandpa Ge and Grandpa Qi affectionately, he thought of the "simple" task he had agreed to today. He had already been stabbed, and even if he wanted to retreat, he would not be able to put his neck back like that.
He took a deep breath and said loudly, "Grandmaster Ge, Grandmaster Qi, the collection of contemporary essays I compiled contains all the essays that were personally praised by many judges and selectors at the last Yuehua Tower Literary Conference. Most importantly, they are all disciples of saints who have worked hard in the imperial examinations and have achieved success!"
As Xu Fengyang spoke, he glanced sharply at the contemporary essay anthologies around him. Seeing that no one agreed with him, he couldn't help but feel angry and anxious, but he had to go ahead.
"The half of the article that Master Zhang recited is indeed good, but Master Zhang has no official title. He was allowed to attend the Yuehua Tower literary gathering today by the princess's permission. He was lucky. He has never been gentle, respectful, frugal and modest. It would have been fine if he had studied and understood the articles of his predecessors. He even thought that he could surpass many predecessors in the imperial examinations with only half of an article. Isn't that too arrogant?"
