Before the college exam, Koti was invited to a banquet a few times, and explicitly and implicitly told his family that his children were doing well in school, and he wanted to get a good score in this college exam.Yang Tixue thought to himself that since your children are excellent in their studies, then you should take the exam well., so I thought of such a question that no one may be able to answer well.If you can't answer well, it's hard for Lin Fangxu, a pioneer.If you solve the question correctly, even if you answer most of it well.After Lin Fangxu successfully solved the question, he began to choose words and make sentences, and then checked it again and again, carefully considered, and did not finish the paper until it was dark.The college exams were all confused, and after Kotixue collected the papers, he began to review them overnight, and in the face of these thousands of exam papers, another advantage of difficult questions was reflected.Solve the problem and eliminate more than half, and then the sentence is not smooth, the writing is reversed, and the idea is not clear, and the rest is almost the same.At this time, the remaining 200 or so volumes were roughly divided into good and bad copies, and 50 copies were selected and written prominently, and the number was written in the inner circle of the draft, and the others were included in the periphery.Kotixue was approved at noon on the second day, and in the afternoon, he ordered the messenger to beat the gong and drum and post it out, so that the candidates on the list could prepare for the re-examination tomorrow.The draft is not ranked second, and Lin Fangxu unexpectedly found his seat number in the inner circle.may be because of the guidance of Lin Fangxu, a pioneer before the exam, although Lin Fangqi and Lin Fangwei are not in the inner circle, they are both on the list.Wu Zisheng and Wen Boyuan of the same library are also in the outer circle.On the day of the re-examination, there were only more than 200 people in the huge examination room, and they were still required to write two essays with decent questions.The rest of these people are considered to be the best among the candidates of this year's college examination, and they all answered the questions easily soon, and as soon as the bangzi rang at noon, they all handed in the papers, and the rest of how to choose, how to rank, is to mention the responsibilities and powers of the adults.After Lin Fangxu and the others finished the exam, they all went back to the Xufu Courtyard, waiting to see the list in the afternoon of the next day.After the first exam, Koti actually had a ranking in his heart, and the second one was just to see if there was anything missing, and hundreds of papers were quickly reviewed, and then people were asked to seal and mark the ranking.The first to open was naturally the head of the court this time, and Kotixue's subordinates saw the name of the head of the case and said in surprise: Hey!
It doesn't seem to be from any family that this case is from?
I don't know if it's convincing.Kotixue smiled sarcastically: Anyway, according to the rules of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the top ten candidates' college examination articles are to be posted, if you are not convinced, it would be good to compare your own articles.Speaking of which, this is also the place where Kouti learns to be on fire, which local college examination ranking is not the final say of the school officer, who cares if you are convinced or not.But not in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!
You have to post the top ten articles, if you point to a person who is too second, those candidates can gather a crowd to make you discouraged, but you are from various families, you can't do anything.So when the list was opened in the afternoon, Lin Fangxu not only saw that in addition to his name written at the head of the case, there were also four articles pasted under his name.The level of the advance soldier is still very testable, not to mention the two current texts whose level far exceeds that of the rest of the candidates, even the two re-exams are also worthy of the head of the case, and there was a congratulatory voice around for a while.A total of 135 people were selected for this hospital examination, Lin Fangqi also found his name in the position of ninety-seven, Lin Fangshao was one hundred and thirty-three, and the three people in Linjia Village were all famous.Wu Zi, who came with him, was promoted to fifty-three, and Wen Boyuan was one hundred and nine.The five of them were worried when they came in the morning, and when they returned in the afternoon, they were happy and congratulated each other, and Lin Fangshao was even more lucky.The five of them went back to the other hospital and told their relatives about the results of the hospital examination, and there was another burst of laughter.When the sun set, Lin Zixu set off to the shore of West Lake to participate in the hairpin banquet of Lord Tixue.The hairpin banquet was placed on a West Lake cruise ship, in addition to the top 50 in the academy examination, there were also the subordinate officials of the Yamen, as well as some representatives of some local families, and the heads of the four major academies in Hangzhou were also impressively listed.Outside the mountain, the Qingshan Building is outside the building, and the West Lake singing and dancing will be closed.Even when the north was ravaged by the Mengnu iron cavalry, the singing and dancing of West Lake never stopped, let alone now.Beautifully painted boats, brightly lit, and extremely luxurious.The intoxicating warm breeze, the melodious singing, and the tactful sound of the piano.The hazy moonlight, the dark green lake, and the slowly cruising boat like a silver fish, there are children of the family, fine wine and fine clothes, and wanton romance; There are scholars with Eguan Bo, chanting poems and paintings, and being a scholar; There are also wealthy officials and gentry who lean on the red and green and drink happily.What a picture of the prosperous Xizi night tour!
Lin Fangxu retracted his gaze and sat at the stern of the boat with more than fifty new talents, greeting each other and praising each other.The head of the boat and the head of the four academies were pushing the cups and changing the lamps, and the people from the major families were also laughing and talking.The hairpin banquet is said to be a banquet for new talents, but the fifty new talents here are actually insignificant, just borrowing their names.Obviously, some people have just experienced the joy of being on the list, and they can't accept this kind of gap, and they frequently look up at the bow of the ship.Chapter 19 In the middle of the banquet, a little servant hurriedly stepped forward, walked to Lord Tixue, whispered a few words, and saw Lord Tixue look shocked and got up and walked out of the painting boat.Everyone looked at each other curiously, and after a while, they saw Master Tixue accompany an old man inside, followed by two young students.The old man was holding sandalwood beads, wearing a dark robe, with gray hair, and his face was elegant and resolute.Behind him are two young juniors, slightly older on the left, about twenty years old, with a similar face to the old man, dressed as scholars.On the right is a young man dressed up, wearing a purple and gold crown with inlaid treasures, wearing two-color gold butterflies and big red arrow sleeves, his face is like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the color is like the flower of spring dawn.The sideburns are like a knife, the lips are like petals, the eyes are like autumn waves, the nose bridge is straight, and the eyebrows are heroic like ink paintings.The representative of the family at the bow of the boat, the head of the academy mountain, saw the old man enter the painting boat, he all got up one after another and greeted him, although Lin Fangxu and other new talents did not recognize who the old man was, but it was always right to get up with him.The old man walked in front of Lin Fangxu and the others, and said with a smile: Which is the head of this hospital examination?
Lin Fangxu was suddenly named, so he had to take two steps forward and replied: Lin Fangxu, a student from Jinhua Mansion, is the head of this case.After hearing this, the old man snorted and said: It seems that Xu Zhao's kid must have never mentioned the old man to you, and he didn't even know the master when he saw him!
Now Lin Fangxu finally knows who the old man is, Mr.
Xu's mentor, Shang Zhongyan, the word Xiwen.The former military department of the Shangshu, now leading the title of Taifu, Zhishi returned to his ancestral hometown of Hangzhou for retirement.Emperor Hongwu once said that not being assisted by two virtuous ministers is really two regrets in life.One of them is Lin Fangxu's ancestor, Lin Boli, who is several generations behind Emperor Hongwu, so he can't meet him.The other is Shang Zhongyan, speaking of which, Shang Taifu is still the life-saving benefactor of Emperor Hongwu, which has to start from the previous dynasty.During the Mengnu Fanjing, the emperor and officials fled as they could, and only Shang Zhongyan, the secretary of the military department at that time, remained, leading and commanding the remaining soldiers and the people of Kyoto to hold the capital.When Emperor Hongwu's lone army was surrounded, he also gave the emperor's eldest brother an order to transfer troops, and later fought with Emperor Hongwu left and right, expelling Mengnu from the land of the Han people.After Emperor Hongwu ascended the throne, he worshiped him into the cabinet, and he said that he was injured in the war with Mengnu, and he resigned politely.Emperor Hongwu couldn't, so he could only crown him as the crown prince and concubine, and let him return from the first product.After Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, he was crowned as the Taifu, a product, and ranked as the third duke.Lin Fangxu had only heard of his name in his previous life, but had never seen him, so he hurriedly changed his words at this time: The disciple has seen the master.Shang Zhongyan didn't embarrass him much, only patted him on the shoulder and said: Good boy, last year's New Year, your master showed me your article, and the first case is not to bury you, go!
Follow the old man to meet the mountain chiefs, and let those old guys see that it is not only the people of their four major academies who deserve to be the head of the case.Kou Tixue listened to his words, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, looking at the head of Ziyang Academy, who had been preaching before the academy examination that his student Shen Jing could get the head of the case.Hey, the complexion is really good-looking.The filial disciple Sun Lin Fangxu followed Shang Zhong to the bow of the ship in more than forty pairs of envious and jealous eyes.Lin Fangxu wanted to envy something, you enjoyed it when I went up.Of course, Lin Fangxu didn't go to enjoy it, in addition to the adults on the main table, there were four mountain chiefs, and two old jinshi, how could Lin Fangxu have a junior position.He could only stand next to him with the other two juniors serving tea and pouring wine, and by the way, when Shang Zhongyan was talking about him to the others, the pestle showed his face there and said: Yes, the studies he said are okay, and the talented and intelligent apprentice is me.After the banquet ended, Lin Fangxu took Shang Zhongyan's carriage and returned to the Xu family courtyard along the way.In the car, Shang Zhongyan introduced Lin Fangxu: This is my eldest grandson, Shang Tan, who will also participate in the township test next year, and you young people can communicate more.Seeing Lin Fangxu's look of surprise, Shang Zhongyan sneered: Why, don't tell me that you won't take the township exam next year?!
I'm not very old, but I still have a lot of eyes.After speaking, he leaned on the pillow and closed his eyes to recuperate, the prince of Shang opposite smiled and squeezed his eyes at him, and the little brother sitting next to him also showed a teasing smile.Lin Fangxu's face was sneering, he glanced at his gorgeous face, and thought to himself, Master, there is still someone you haven't introduced.It's a pity that Shigong couldn't hear his heart, and the carriage soon arrived at the Xufu Courtyard.When Lin Fangxu came back, everyone else was resting, and only Lin Fangqin was still waiting for him in the living room.Seeing him coming, he beckoned him to sit down, asked about the banquet, and said: This is a good thing, it is rare that Mrs.
Shang is willing to take care of you, I think it is because of Mr.
Xu's face, you must thank Mr.
Xu when you go back.Lin Fangxu nodded, he had never seen Shigong himself in his previous life, and he thought that this was also the benefit of being reborn in his first life.Lin Fangqin said again: I plan to buy some Hangzhou specialties tomorrow, and I will return to Wuyi County the day after tomorrow.Lin Fangxu replied: My master asked me to participate in next year's township examination, and when I went home, I naturally had to prepare for the township examination.Lin Fangqin knew that his younger brother was a psychological person, and after listening to him, he said happily: It seems that Brother Xu is somewhat sure.Lin Fangxu smiled reservedly and asked: Does the eldest brother have any arrangements for himself, do you still follow Uncle Zhao to do the accounting room and collect some loose tea when you go back?
Lin Fangqin said unexpectedly: Hey, Brother Xu has really grown up, and he still knows that he cares about these, but the account office will not do it, and he will do some tea business when the time comes.Lin Fangxu had a bottom in his heart after hearing this, so he didn't say anything.When Lin Fangxu and the others set off from Hangzhou, Shang Zhongyan was staring at his grandson.When will you go back, your father has written several letters to urge!
Shang Zhongyan said with a blowing beard.Sitting opposite him was the grandson who had not been introduced to Lin Fangxu, the little brother of the Marquis of Wu'an, Jiang Shiyun.Shang Zhongyan saw that he was playing with a gem dagger in his hand, but he didn't speak, and said helplessly: This parent's order, the matchmaker's words, and your aunt's crying and begging, your father can't agree to it.Shang Zhongyan saw him take out the dagger and gesture, and hurriedly made persistent efforts and said: Xiaoyun, this woman and brother's marriage can't be chosen by yourself, it's better to marry someone you don't know, it's better to marry your cousin, no matter what, your cousin is also an uncle.Jiang Shiyun sneered: "Hey, he didn't earn it himself!"
Grandfather doesn't need to say it anymore, I'll go back tomorrow, Yun'er understands the reason, but I just think of my cousin being spoiled by my aunt, and I'm unwilling!
After Jiang Shiyun finished speaking, he slapped the dagger on the table.Shang Zhongyan looked at the pit on his Huanghuali tea case, his heart trembled, and then he looked at his grandson's lonely face, and said distressedly: This is not right, he will not dare to mess with you in the future, you have the final say in the family.Jiang Shiyun looked at his grandfather's flattering face, and felt that his grandfather must have deliberately pretended to sleep in the carriage last night, and he was afraid that in front of people and children, his old and endless nature would be exposed.Lin Fangxu wants to know that he is a little kid in the heart of the little brother, and he doesn't know if he will vomit blood, but who made you not as tall as the little brother.There is no way, Lin Fangxu was not very tall before he was fourteen years old in his last life, and he only started to draw strips after the age of fourteen.When Lin Fangxu and the others were still on the road, no one heard the story of Honghu Lou Liang Zhu.Qu Shuangshuang also settled the silver taels with Ai Xiaoya, and Ai Xiaoya got more than 60 taels in nearly two months, which was slightly more than the money for the buyout.Ai Xiaoya has finished telling the general plot of Dream of Red Mansions, but after all, it is one of the four famous novels, Lin Fangming has been unable to write for a long time, and has been thinking about it, although Ai Xiaoya can understand, but she is a little anxious when she suddenly loses her income.When Ai Xiaoya was anxiously considering whether to do the hot pot business first, Uncle Chengfu came to Wutong Lane and said: Brother Ming, you hurry back to the village, Brother Xu and the three of them have passed!
Brother Xu won the case, this is a little three yuan!
The patriarch said that this time it would be a big deal.Lin Fangming said congratulations, but only he knew what he felt in his heart.Ai Xiaoya was speechless, this college exam is the same as the high school entrance examination in modern times, can you celebrate it like this, but unfortunately the situation is stronger than people, and no matter how unwilling you are, you can only pack up your things and go back to the village.Thinking about it, in Ai Xiaoya's heart, it is estimated that the test will be the college graduation defense, but she ignored one point, you may not be able to find a job after graduating from college, but you will try, not to mention the package assignment, or assign you to be an official.When Lin Fangxu and the others returned to the village, the firecrackers and saffron in the village had already been hung, and they were full of joy.Lin Fangqi looked at the clansmen who greeted him at the entrance of the village, and muttered: It seems that another Buddha jumped over the wall to eat.Others.This time, the people who participated in the banquet were no longer only the people of the clan, but also relatives and friends from various families, Lin Fangxu and the three of them naturally sat at the main table.Lin Fangxu is not allowed to drink this time, grandpa's original words are: There are still township tests and will tests in the future, what should I do if I drink too much and hurt my brain that is taking the test of small three yuan, maybe I can get a big, three, and yuan later.Of course, when the grandfather said this, there were mostly jokes, but he did not deny that he did have such expectations.The next day, the second brother and his wife naturally left early, which is ridiculous, both of them seemed to forget that they still had an infant son, and they didn't look at it when they left.After breakfast, Lin Fangxu found Lin Fangqin and asked: Big brother wants to go back to the tea shop today?
Lin Fangqin asked: I'm not in a hurry to go back, do you have something to do?
Lin Fangxu replied again: Since the eldest brother is not in a hurry, I want to invite the eldest brother to the thumb slope to see a scenery that I stumbled upon.Lin Fangqin was very curious, what kind of scenery could make his younger brother so attentive, and the two brothers greeted their family and set off.Chapter 20 The thumb slope in July was even more lush and the two brothers gossiped and soon reached the top of the mountain when Lin Fangxu was about to go down to the canyon Lin Fangqin didn t ask much, only followed behind.The canyon is deep, the trees are dense, and the waist-high weeds prove that no one has been here for many years, Lin Fangxu deliberately brought two sickles when he went out, and the two brothers walked to the cliff with the sickles.When he saw the golden silk tea again, Lin Fangxu was still dazzled by the golden halo, and Lin Fangqin gasped and said: This is the scenery that Brother Xu said.Lin Fangxu saw the shocked appearance of the eldest brother for the first time, and joked: Does the eldest brother think the scenery here can be chic?
Lin Fangqin glared at him and said: It's too chic, I'm afraid it's troublesome Lin Fangxu also said seriously: Big brother said before that he wanted to do a tea business, what are you going to do.Lin Fangqin didn't hide it from him: Your brother-in-law can make tea, you know, my father-in-law and I used to collect some fresh leaves from farmers every year, and your brother-in-law and his master were responsible for frying them, and then sold them through tea shops.
