When the Gui Bang was posted, the people who posted the list also folded their spirits, and quickly took the news and ran to each family, so as to ask for some reward with a good news.
Those prudent and romantic talents who have a bottom line in their hearts often wait for people to report in restaurants, inns, etc., but many people can't wait for them to announce the good news. Rao is that Cui Xie got up so early and ran so fast that when he got to the top of the list, he could only squeeze out of the third ring.
He regretted not riding over, but after standing for a while, the people in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth circles crowded up, so crowded that he couldn't even turn around, so he no longer regretted it.
People are so crowded, is there any place for the horse to stand? He can't always carry the horse on his head. If he asks someone to squeeze his little white horse away, he will regret it and find nowhere to go.
He waited peacefully from dawn to early morning when the gate of the Gongyuan finally opened, and several guards from the government came out and stuck a piece of Huang Bang paper to the wall.
The crowd suddenly boiled and rushed forward. Cui Xie asked people to rush forward a few steps, and then he settled down that he was no longer in the place he was looking for. Not far away, someone called him loudly: "Brother Cui Xian!"
The voice was familiar, very excited, with a little Qian'an County accent.
He turned back subconsciously, his eyes swept across the crowd, and in a blink of an eye he saw the face of a youthful young man - Zhao Yinglin, the grandson of the old grandmother Zhao in the east of their house.
Is this also considered a stranger
Cui Xie waved at him in surprise, lined up the surrounding crowd, strode over and asked him, "Brother Zhao Shi has also come to participate in the imperial examination? Is your brother here too? Our two families are Old Neighbor, why can't you come to my house after entering Beijing?"
Zhao Yinglin was also excited with a smile on his face, shook his head and said, "When my brother entered the school, he was waiting to be admitted to the Guozijian. Why bother you when you don’t know where to live? You are so busy studying in Guozijian, and Master Cui has gone out of town again, and the family is full of old and young women and children, so it’s not convenient for us big men to live in your house!”
So, there are still acquaintances in Qian'an? So are the six talents who wrote the Three Kingdoms here
Zhao Yinglin nodded again and again: "Apart from Guo Juren and the other three who have already passed the exam, shouldn't everyone else have to give it a try? Hey, you took the exam too fast, you were a child at the first sight, and it seems that you will become a master of Juren, also known as I'm sorry to see you if someone else took the exam late."
Cui Xie looked at the list that was just posted, smiled and said, "How can I get a late exam? We will be able to get on the list together in this township exam, and let the world see that Qian'an is also a place for talents."
There, someone was filling in the roster from the hospital one by one, and someone next to him was calling his name loudly. At this time, he was singing: "The 120th, You Linsheng, a citizen of Qian'an County, Yongping Prefecture, is a citizen of Lu Ya'an. …”
Lu An!
It was one of the six talents who commented on him in the Three Kingdoms!
Commenting on the talent of the Three Kingdoms, the talent has been tested, and the name of this talent has become more and more stable, and their "Six Talents Edition of the Three Kingdoms" has become more and more worthy of the name! What's the use of those twelve and eighteen talents, they are not all students and Confucian scholars. It would be good to find one or two juren. How can six critics like them come out with four juren?
Going back, I can use these people to stir up a wave of news, and republish a collector's edition, a collector's edition, a signed edition... !
He was so excited that his eyebrows flew up, and when he saw Zhao Shixiong staring at Huang Bang with two big eyes, he wished that the next one would be a student from Qian'an County.
He quickly grabbed Zhao Yinglin's wrist and asked, "Brother Lu is also watching the list? Let's go to congratulate him."
Too bad Lu An wasn't there.
Those of them who have taken the test many times and are used to the storm will naturally not wait at the top of the list like a young man who has never seen an interview, but should pack a good seat, and the same The students who took the test drank and recited poetry, elegantly and reservedly waiting for the newspaper to announce the good news.
But waiting for the good news is not as early as they are watching here. Zhao Yinglin stiffened his back and patted Cui Xie's arm: "We'll go over to have a drink after we finish reading the list, maybe the time hasn't arrived yet, they'll all have to wait for us to report!"
After taking a couple of shots, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, I retracted my hand and looked at Cui Xie carefully, and raised my hand to make a gesture: "You...you were not as tall as me when you left Qian'an, what kind of medicine have you been taking these days? , how did it jump so fast?"
Cui Xie lowered his head and glanced at the heels of the two of them - he didn't wear the inner height for the convenience of running. Zhao Shixiong's soles were about a finger thicker than his, and he was not taller than him even though he was so handsome. Really long.
Waiting for next year, next year he can grow longer...
He bowed his head humbly: "Perhaps, these days I'm so busy preparing for exams that I haven't paid much attention. In the first half of the year, Ju Anzhai published a set of required reading notes for the imperial examination, which I wrote down during the Guozi monitoring class. Master Siye and Jijiu personally modified it, it is indeed useful, has Zhao Shixiong read it?"
Speaking of the official examinations, Zhao Yinglin immediately forgot the question of being shorter than him, and answered loudly, "Since the imperial examinations are compulsory, how can I not read them? Not only me, the scholars from Qian'an County, who are Yongping The students in the prefecture also rushed to buy and do those Hanlin problems. You are now a talented person in our county and prefecture that has not been seen for a hundred years. !"
He also smiled proudly: "I'll drag you to the Furong Building later, and the candidates in our government will definitely applaud me when they see you!"
The time they talked, the list was in the top 100, and another Qian'an Juzi was on the list, but Cui Xie didn't know it, and according to Zhao Shixiong, he was also a talented person. In the past, Qian'an County only got two or three people a year, but now Gui Bang has just posted 100 people and there are two people. I am afraid that the number of people on the list will be even more, and it is due to the credit of his set of notes.
I took out two volumes of "Great Learning" and "Mencius". The exam questions were just three questions from "Great Learning", "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius". After reading the two volumes of notes, two of the three questions were better than usual. Raising the level of one level, wouldn't the articles be better than others
Not only in Qian'an County, where his set of notebooks was sold, the test takers' scores were better than in previous years, and the students from Beijing had improved even more.
In the Furong Building, where candidates gathered, the newspapers poured into the building like a stream of water. Half of the newspapers were from Beijing, Tongzhou, and Qian'an. Even students from other prefectures found it inconceivable—
"As for the candidates of Beijing nationality, there are many students from other places who send their nationalities to take the test here, and the results are not uncommon. Tongzhou is also a big port where the north and the south meet, so how can there be so many talented people in this small place in Qian'an? Six talents, I have never heard of any talents in Qian'an!"
Who is the chief examiner of this year's rural exam? Why is the pick so uneven? Could it be that the examiner's own father is from Tongzhou, and his father-in-law is from Qian'an, so he is especially partial to the scholars from these two places!
Qian'an County's romantic talent - now a romantic leader, Lu An shook his fan and sneered: "What's wrong with the uneven selection of scholars, didn't you think about what the three places of Beijing, Tongzhou, and Qian'an have in common before making a fool of yourself? If you don’t know those two small places, you also have to know why there are so many candidates in Beijing this year, right?”
"Why don't you take a look on the street before you make trouble, what is the best-selling book before this autumn test—"
The candidate who made the most fuss said without hesitation: "Naturally, it is Ju Anzhai's "The Imperial Examination Must-Read Series". Students who go to Beijing to take the examination are not allowed to buy two sets of him. But Ju Anzhai is from Beijing. , the candidates in the capital do well in the exam, we can't read this good book earlier than them, Qian'an is such a small place, we can't..."
Qian'an candidates all showed a subtle smile: "When Xiongtai was reading the book, didn't he read the introduction, inscription, and editor's journal before the book?"
The candidates from Tongzhou also coughed and asked them, "When you buy books, don't you ask Ju'anzhai if there are any other branches?"
Those few foreign students who felt that this subject was unevenly recruited and wanted to argue for right and wrong felt a little agitated, but still frowned and asked, "Then why only sell these places? Sell it at his house, don't allow other people to print this book and sell it!"
Lu An tapped his fan on the palm of his hand, shook his head and sighed, "That's because you didn't read it carefully. The person who compiled this notebook is our famous prodigy in Qian'an County, whose surname is Cui Mingxie, and Ju Anzhai, who printed the book for him, was also Qian'an. An’s famous study has branches in Tongzhou and Beijing, so the students from the three places did particularly well in the exam this year.”
Before reporting on the list just now, he had to call the group of students "xiongtai" kindly. Now that he has published the list and published the report, his identity has become higher, so he doesn't need to be polite to this group of people. , put the word "sarcasm" on his face brightly, and said with a smile: "Our talents in Qian'an County, we compiled a book and asked our bookstore in Qian'an County to print it. Can we sell it wherever we want? Everyone? Now that you have gone to Beijing to take the exam and bought this 'series' book, instead of discussing why here, why don't you go home and do the questions a few more times!"
The notes printed in April were not enough to sell in Anzhai, and only a few were sent to other places. The candidates in these three places used good books to review for the exam, and they naturally did better than others. But then again, this book was not taught to be banned from selling to other places. Even if these scholars didn't buy it at home, they could buy it when they entered Beijing. I don't blame myself for not doing well in the exam, but the examiner. How can there be such a reason in the world!
The Confucian scholars in Beijing also sang along: "As expected of the six talents who commented on the Three Kingdoms, he speaks so sharply!"
Cui Xie, who published the book, may not be known to anyone, but the six talents who commented on the Three Kingdoms have even heard of the restaurant runners. Listening to him is more enjoyable than reading his comments in the book. The shopkeeper of the restaurant gave them a plate of hot braised fish for free, showing his support for the idol with practical actions.
The mentality of the scholar who was attacked by him was not so good.
Lu An has already raised people, and taught the Qingshan scholar to "do the problem", which can be regarded as a kind and gracious teaching to the younger generation, and they swallowed it for themselves. But that Choi Xie—
Wasn't that series of books produced by the Imperial Supervisor of the Ministry of Industry and Sacrificial Wine? What's the use of a prodigy who can pass the examination book, hasn't he been admitted to the juren yet!
He refreshed his mind and asked in a serious tone, "Senior Lu said that the prodigy genius, he compiled this book, can he be admitted to the rank of jinshi with this book?"
Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer newspapers reporting letters, and the last one came in the top 20. Thinking that Cui Xie was just a student from a small county in the countryside, who had just been admitted to the Guozijian for more than a year, if he was admitted to the Guibang, he would be lucky. Can you get into the top ten
Lu An was also a little hesitant and didn't answer for a while.
Seeing that he had lost some of his dashing energy, those few people looked better, and smiled: "If he is a real talent, we can be admitted to this list, we should be convinced, we just blame ourselves for not being able to see it before the test. That book. But if he's not a genius, just a bookseller who sells books, I'm just afraid of the books he prints, hehe..."
If Cui Xie doesn't make it on this list, let alone other accusations, if only the word "bookseller" is put on his head, his reputation will not be very good in the future.
Lu An and several Qian'an judges and scholars turned ugly, stood up and retorted for him: "Cui Xie has only been studying for three years, and he has been admitted to the Xiaosanyuan desk. How many years have you been studying? He himself? If you haven't taken the test, you can take the test regardless of yourself, and print out the teaching book before the autumn test, so that all candidates can buy it, and you can solve the questions that have not been debated before. Can you do it? Who? If you have a good book at home, you don’t want to collect it yourself, but you are willing to lend it to others easily? Who is willing to print it so that the world can see it?”
Even if he didn't make the list in this subject, it was because he sacrificed himself for others and refused to hide good materials to read for himself before the exam.
Lu An was so moved by talking, and even suspected that Cui Xie's "Three Kingdoms" was not to make money, but to make the six of them famous, so that their road to the imperial examination would be smoother.
Those who bought the "Notes for Imperial Examinations", no matter whether they were admitted or not, were also moved for a while, and the scholars who accused Cui Xie of lack of talent also stood there and reflected, but did not speak for a while.
There was a silence in the restaurant, that is, when the silence was about to spread to the entire restaurant lobby, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Brother Lu, Brother Wang, Brother Shi... Look who I brought here!"
Everyone looked up at the door, and saw a young scholar who was in high spirits dragging another handsome scholar from Tsinghua University and hurried to the door, and smiled at them: "We are a talented scholar in Qian'an County, and the eighth place in the township examination, the master of Juren Cui Ji. Xie is here!"
Township test eighth!
How could he take the eighth test
After three years of schooling, he passed the eighth place in the township examination. If he were to study for two more years, wouldn't he have to take the eighth place in the general examination
Cui Xie's young and handsome face was reflected in the eyes of all sentient beings, and the figure of Lan Ting was like a jade tree, and the same thought was surging in their hearts: His set of notes is really a useful secret scroll! Could it be that the Hanlins and the senior officials of the Guozijian made something for the middle secretary of the big family to let him see it
Buy more sets to take home...
On the other hand, the talents from Qian'an have read the book too much, so they are not so fresh anymore. Their first reaction was to gather around and greet Cui Xie, and show off to the students in the outer county: "He Zhong was a student when he was in our county. A well-known prodigy, when he first returned to his hometown, he stunned four people at the Double Ninth Festival..."
With a pair of beautiful paper, he shocked all four.
Several Juren scholars who had attended the Double Ninth Banquet glanced at Cui Xie with a smile, winked at each other, swallowed the past, and laughed brightly.
The author has something to say: The township exam is the eighth
