Chapter 137

Cui Xie became this extra-palace accompany, although there was no change in his status, his treatment suddenly became more expensive. When I went to tutor with Assistant Professor Xie in the evening, the notes I copied were a third thicker than usual.

Assistant Professor Xie said kindly: "Today, the Prince's papers were issued by our Imperial Prison, so we sent them back to Qiu Jijiu for evaluation. In the future, the papers will be issued by the Hanlin, so I am afraid that your papers will also have to be handed over to those scholars, Xiujuan and see. The other companion exams have not been selected for the time being, I will just take care of you, and I have to teach you to be full of flaws in order to meet people."

Cui Xie's scientific examination was about to take place, and learning these things that were not needed in the examination was also a little empty, so he couldn't help asking him: "I heard that a notice has been posted outside the Shuntian Mansion, and the examination will be held next month, and the students only do this I'm afraid the papers are not enough. Could you leave me some more articles, sir?"

Assistant Professor Wang, who was watching the travel notes, said with a "tsk tsk": "Such an humility to study, you can't complain about winning Xiaosanyuan. Lingtai, you must not let him down. Come up with some. If you don't have time, can I help you out with some topics from the Four Books?"

Assistant Professor Xie waved his hand: "Thank you Brother Wojiao for your kindness, I still have it, I'm afraid there are too many questions, and this student can't do it."

Cui Xie said with a smile: "Student's main job is to write essays. What can't you do? If you really can't do it, I will come to beg your husband and delay it."

He doesn't have to do the Three Kingdoms Exhibition recently. Mr. Lu is busy promoting pencils, and he doesn't pay much attention to his poems, but he has spared a lot of time to write essays. It's just that the schoolwork is so tight, and there will be no time for Cui Heng to copy those laborious cloze, reading comprehension, case analysis... He can only write small essays and big essays.

He secretly sighed that he was not a good brother, and decided to take back the topic left by Assistant Professor Xie and share it with Cui Heng.

Assistant Professor Xie didn't have a suitable topic at hand, so he casually pointed to "there is a way in the world, then ritual and music conquests come from the emperor", and told him to go back to write a composition, and comforted him: "It's just a scientific test, it's nothing if you don't take it. You Studying in the Imperial College, it is not easy to take the township exam? Don’t rush the subject exam, just go to the government office for the small exam before the exam next year.”

But the future of the scholar comes from the article after all. So many people are preparing for the test outside, hoping to be selected for the Hanlin paper, isn't it also for the sake of getting a correspondence taught by a famous teacher and increasing their knowledge

In the final analysis, it was all to pass the three trials and make a name for himself.

Xie Jing verbally reassured him that he didn't need to care about Christie, but he actually attached great importance to it. After speaking, he got up and went to the shelf to flip through it for a while, and while flipping, he said, "This year, it is Chen Ji and Chen Yushi who are going to study Northern Zhili. I remember receiving his article and looking back, you can try to figure it out."

This year, he changed his studies to Chen Yushi, and he is no longer Dai Yushi, who took him as the leader of the Taoist test case.

When Cui Xie heard the news, he suddenly recalled the suggestions and expectations on his face when Dai Ren gave him the words, and subconsciously asked, "I don't know where the Dai adult who taught him last year moved to?"

Xie Jing thought for a while, and answered vaguely: "I haven't heard of Dai Yushi returning to Beijing. He has a lot of talents under his command, and you have a little three yuan, so the evaluation should not be bad. According to common sense, Xu is moved to which one? The provincial governor or the right governor?"

The people who come out of the Inspectorate have a good future. When this term of education is full, at worst, they will have to move to a deputy inspector. These teaching assistant circles are far apart from the ministries and colleges in Sinology, and they rarely have friendship. It is rare to hear their news. Xie Jing is just guessing, and there is no actual information.

But Cui Xie didn't necessarily have to see Dai Yushi, and it was comforting to hear that he could be promoted - if there is more, you can ask Xie Qianhu.

He copied down his homework, and before the curfew came, he hurried home on a little white horse.

Cui Liangdong and Cui Qi were both waiting for him in the courtyard before he stepped into the main hall. Cui Liangdong grabbed him and said mysteriously, "Sir, something has happened in our house! Someone brought gifts to our house today, guess what? What did you send?"

Cui Qi handed him warm almond tea, nodded and said seriously: "It's really a strange thing, the shopkeeper Ji called his buddy to tell me during the day that someone took away our little Joe who hung up in those days. ,until night… "

Cui Liangdong said "Hi", waved his hand and said, "Brother Xiao Qi, what else can you guess? This is so much less fun! He worked so hard in school, we have to talk to him when we get home. Say something new and interesting."

Cui Qi pouted and said, "What's interesting, I don't like to guess three words and four guesses in one sentence. Is it enough to guess outside? It's better to spend less time at home and speak directly."

The two caught up with the cross talk. Although it's not very funny, it's a bit of a joke, it's a pair of meanings.

Cui Xie smiled in support of the venue, put down the cup of almond tea that could be seen to the bottom, and said, "I don't bother to guess or guess, it's just that 'Mr. Has anyone sent the picture to our house?"

Cui Liangdong glanced at Cui Qi resentfully, and then smiled at Cui Xie in a pleasing manner: "I can't blame the emperor and the prince for seeing the prince, the prince really knows everything, we haven't said anything yet, you just Guess."

Cui Xie asked, "What did he get it for? You give me the poems and seals he left behind. Let's keep it well. If you keep it for a few years, it will become a treasure that the world is striving for."

Cui Qi asked: "Big brother recognizes that Mr. Shuixi? Didn't he come to pick up your paintings all the time? Why did you suddenly ask someone to pick them up and send them to your house? Did he know that you have something to do in front of the emperor and the crown prince? Ask you?"

No, no, people are really winning in front of the crown prince and future emperor, even if they are stronger than him now, what can I ask of him

Cui Xie shook his head, smiled smugly and said, "I won this painting from Mr. Shuixi, you don't have to worry about it, just keep it."

win? Cui Qi asked in surprise, "Isn't he the number one talent in the capital? Big brother, you can beat him? You can beat him, doesn't it mean that you are better than him?"

Cui Xie smiled and said, "The talent and learning are naturally inferior. It's just that he made a bet with others to test some of my questions, and I answered them all, so he rewarded me with this painting."

This gamble really can't say what to study, just memorize it.

Cui Xie silently recalled yesterday's test. Although he answered all the Hanlin questions, it was undeniable that those questions were not too difficult, and the answers were all within the scope of the two lectures.

Those Hanlins all knew that he was in charge of "Poems", and he lowered the difficulty of writing "Shangshu" questions. In the syllabus, most of the answers were choices, judgments, and words to fill in the blanks, and the focus of the test was memorization. And he happened to be a student who brought his own open-book exam BUFF. No matter how many similar distractions were added to those options, it would not interfere with him, who had the correct answer.

On the contrary, the "University" exam is a bit biased, not only the content in "University Yanyi", but more of the original text. Cui Xie is the best at learning the Four Books, and he has published "Four Books and Sentences". It can be said that he is proficient in playing, and he can pick out the answer from the words on the sermon—

Ask him about the relationship between the three principles of Mingde, Xinmin, and Aiming for Perfection: He replied that "Mingde" and "Xinmin" should both aim at perfection.

Ask him how to make "Mingde" and "Xinmin" stop at perfection: he replied that seeking knowledge from things, sincerity and righteousness are the kung fu of cultivating Mingde; balancing the family and ruling the country and the world are the means of bringing new people; Anxiety, concern, and attainment are the right path to the ultimate good.

When asked why the university did not say that it would govern the world, but rather that it would bring peace to the world: he answered that the world's injustice lies in the injustice of people's minds, and if people's people are peaceful, the world will be ruled.

When it was Li Dongyang's turn, he seemed to deliberately embarrass him and asked him, "Why does the university make money?"

The name of CCTV's "Producing Wealth" column is contributed by "University".

Don't look at this simple and practical sentence, it is popular in modern times, but among the aristocratic scholars, it is politically incorrect to mention the word "making money"—

When Wang Anshi talked about financial management, Zhu Xi was ridiculed unnecessarily. Until the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, scholars all over the world had to laugh along with him. If he seriously talks about how important it is to make money, he might have to make the group of Hanlin feel unruly; but if he puts on a lofty air and doesn't talk about making money for the interests of the country, this question will not be answered well...

Just when everyone was going to put together money to invite Li · Future · Ge Lao to eat, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he remembered that in Li Dongyang's "Hong Fan · Jiu Chou" in the outline, the third "eight politics" is Taking the two policies of "food" and "goods" as the head, it is said that it is the most important thing for good health. He simply answered "University" with the outline of "Shangshu", and asked Li Dongyang to speak for him.

These lecturers had already read the two syllabuses by heart, and after listening to a few words, they could hear the source of the answer, smiled knowingly, looked at Li Dongyang and said, "This student really uses the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son. It must be counted that he answered it! Brother Bin's righteousness is very reasonable, and the answer to this question is indeed irrefutable."

Li Dongyang also laughed: "Yes, this Cui Shentong is really smart, so he won! No matter if he asks him later, I will give him that painting too."

Li Zhanshi shook his head and smiled and said, "I don't think I need to take the test. Cui Xie's knowledge is indeed solid, and he is not only clever. There is nothing wrong with his answer to your question. Huo Erzheng starts with the "Yu Mo" theory of good life. What he lacks is probably because the book does not govern the "Book", and he is negligent."

Li Dongyang could no longer use a joking attitude towards the teacher, and instead replied: "The teacher is right, the disciple did not mean to make fun of him, but really felt that he passed the disciple's test."

He didn't ask someone to take the painting out that day and send it to the house. It was probably because the "Mr. Shuixi" had not been engraved, so he had to ask someone to engrave the chapter first, and then write a poem to redeem the painting.

Cui Xie asked Cui Qi to bring the picture of Xiao Qiao, unfolded it, took a closer look, and saw a new poem inscribed in the upper right corner of the screen, but with the same handwriting as the original postcard ticket. Although it is also written by Yong Xiaoqiao, the second half of the song shows the meaning of borrowing the past to satirize the present and persuading people to cherish the time.

The title of the poem's whereabouts is that Li Binzhi presented Qian'an Cuisheng, with a few bright red seals, there are Binzhi and Xi Ya, but there is no "Mr. Shuixi".

Everyone has a vest that they don't want to lift.

Cui Xie smiled understandingly, told Cui Qi to take the painting to his study, and got up to go to the main hall to greet him. However, Cui Liangdong leaned over and handed him a letter, looked at him and said, "This is left by the little servant who came to deliver the painting. The little servant said very loudly, saying that this is something that is hard to find, let's You don't need to ask the servant, just keep it, and the son will know when he comes back and opens it up."

Cui Xie even brought home the royal plaque written by the emperor himself, the silver and treasure notes given by the crown prince, and the family's vision was broadened, and he thought about everything in the sky. When he opened the envelope, the two of them added a companion Xiao Songyan, and six pairs of eyes stared at the envelope, wondering what was inside.

He opened the letter lightly, and saw a big red post lying quietly inside, with the three characters "Li Dongyang" written in double-line ink on the cover. The small characters next to it read the official titles of the Hanlin Shijiao Bachelor and Shidonggong Class.

Seeing that the three of them were bachelors, they all felt disappointed, and each sighed lightly. Only Cui Xie knew the weight of this post. He read it carefully and carefully sealed it back in the envelope, holding it with both hands.

Although this post is not enough to ask for a favor in Shuntian Prefecture, it is a stepping stone to the Chaling faction and the circle of well-known literati. When the new emperor ascends the throne and Li Dongyang becomes the elder, not to mention...

Cui Xie's heart skipped a few beats. He took the post and walked back to the study. He clipped it into the thick "Tongjian", sealed the book cover box, and put it in a secret and secure place on the edge of the shelf. .
