Prime Minister

Chapter 137 Fu Yuan
In addition to reading and researching articles on weekdays, Zhang Yue occasionally learns the art of throwing pots and archery.

This is also no way, there is too much time on weekdays, so that you can learn too many things.

The daily work and rest in Taixue is like this, the first drum will be played a moment after the fifth watch drum.At this time, most of the Tai students had already woken up, and they each washed and dressed in the dormitory.At the time of the second drum, they went to the kitchen to get food, and then they ate in their own houses.

Because Zhang Yue has the habit of taking a nap, he usually doesn't get up until the second drum.When he washed and washed, his companions in the dormitory helped him bring food back.

After breakfast, if there is a private test or lecture, everyone will go to Chonghua Hall, if not, they will study by themselves in the stove pavilion.

The school ethos of Taixue has always been that after each public examination and private examination, Hu Yuan and Zhang Yi will meet with all students in Chonghua Hall to play music and songs until night.

This has always been the rule of Taixue. It can be regarded as relaxation after class, and it is also a combination of work and rest.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yue would take a siesta unshakably.The people in the same studio admired it, but if it was someone else, they would be criticized by the teacher.And Zhang Yue didn't just take a nap, he slept for as little as an hour and as long as two hours.

In the evening, unless Taixue's chef has extra meals, Zhang Yue usually has dinner in the house.

It has to be said that Taixue's life was indeed hard.But Zhang Yue can still bear it.

But many of the Taixue are the children of officials or people from wealthy families, how could they suffer such hardships.

So they would find an excuse to sneak out at night.However, Taixue was not allowed to stay overnight for no reason. In addition to arranging a doctor to go to fast every night, there was also a direct lecture room for a direct lecturer to register for Taixue's entry and exit.

However, after Hu Yuan left, the ethos of the Taixue became somewhat relaxed, and the Taixue students repeatedly signed the word "Ganfeng" on their notebooks in order to ask for leave.

In the future, a famous Tai student entered the pavilion, and the pavilion also has the rule of the school official staying directly.

According to the regulations, one of the school officials in the Secret Pavilion of the Three Pavilions will stay overnight overnight. If there is a reason for not staying overnight, the night will be wasted, which is called exempted accommodation.According to the rules, the exempted stay should not exceed four days, and on the fifth day they had to enter the museum to stay overnight, which gave many officials an opportunity to take advantage of it.Whenever there is a need to waive the night, the officials of the pavilion and pavilion routinely write the words "uneasy stomach, no overnight stay" under the name of the person on duty in the duty book, so the duty book of the pavilion and pavilion is called " It is "harmful stomach calendar".

This official who was born as a Taixue student has also repeatedly signed waived accommodations, perhaps because he remembered his experience of signing the word "Ganfeng" when he was in Taixue.So the two things were put together, jokingly called "harmful belly calendar", which can be compared with "feeling wind book".

This is also a joke in Taixue, and everyone often mentions it.

For example, Huang Haoyi's health has been bad since he entered the imperial school, and he was often a frequent visitor of "feeling wind", which made the Guozijian, who was staying directly, very puzzled. How could this child be like this?

One day during the holiday, Huang Haoyi brought Yulian, who was dressed as a man, into Taixue.

Taixue's rule is that students are not allowed to see guests on weekdays, but they are allowed to see guests in the Zhai Dormitory during holidays.However, Huang Haoyi blatantly brought in a prostitute. If he was accused of being expelled from school, even Zhang Yue would be implicated.

Zhang Yue reprimanded Huang Haoyi and drove them out of the house.

Fortunately, Huang Haoyi didn't get to the bottom of it, and immediately took Yulian away from Taixue after hearing Zhang Yue's reprimand.

Except for Huang Haoyi, there are quite a lot of Taixue students in the studio, some of whom have families in Bianjing, and it is difficult to bear the boring life in Taixue.

There are also some Tai students who are frequent visitors in the brothel.

It is well known that Taixue students are popular with prostitutes, and the largest "red light district" in Song Dynasty is next to Taixue.

It is a romantic thing for officials to openly engage in prostitution, let alone these young imperial students.

There is a joke in Taixue.

There was a student who lingered in the brothel all day long. One day he came home with pain in his legs. His mother was pressing his legs. My son studied hard and often studied late at night. There was no charcoal in the school, so he must have froze.

The student was so ashamed and made up his mind that he would never go to the brothel again.

Such stories are often used by old students to warn those Tai students who love to go to brothels, and persuade them to turn their prodigal sons back.

However, Zhang Yue has nowhere to go. Occasionally when he is tired from studying, he will go shopping at night, sometimes at the Zhouqiao Night Market.Once, I bought a lot of Shoushan stones from there.

Zhang Yue saw that they were not expensive at the time, so he bought a lot.

When I am tired from studying on weekdays, I engrave a few seals.

Anyway, Zhang Yue has more time, and there are still six hours to squander after going to bed.

He also learned everything, except the way of writing and calligraphy, archery, throwing pots, and seal cutting are all within his learning scope.

Anyway, with so much time every day, just reading is hard enough, and it would be nice to have a few extra-curricular hobbies.To learn other skills, just point all the skill points.

"Sanlang, are you carving a seal again?"

Zhang Yue looked up and saw Liu Ji, the head of the fasting house, got up and said, "Yes, what is the head of the fasting house doing?"

Zhang Yue will carve a seal every two or three days, and now he has carved more than a dozen seals in his hands before he knows it.As the head of the fasting house, Liu Ji knew about Zhang Yue's engraving.

Liu Ji smiled and said, "Sanlang, I think you are very good at engraving seals."

"The head of the house doesn't dare to take those words."

Liu Jidao: "It's not a lie. Although the seals carved in this workshop are good, they are full of craftsman's spirit, and every stroke is extremely dull. But San Lang, you are not only excellent in seal script, but also incorporate calligraphy into seal carving."

"If you have anything to say, you may as well just say it..." Zhang Yue said with a smile.

Liu Ji said with a smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Saburo. That's it. Yang Zhi, who knows calligraphy, knows it! He likes your engraved seal..."

"Yang speaks directly?"

Who does Zhang Yue know?The other party's name is Yang Nanzhong, who is now teaching Guozijian Calligraphy.

Some people say that there are only Shao Buyi, Yang Nanzhong, and Zhang Youzhi among the famous masters of Xiaozhuan today.

At the beginning, Song Renzong invited Zhang Youzhi and Yang Nanzhong to carve the two-body stone scriptures. It can be seen that their calligraphy is first-class in the world.And this stone scripture is now placed in the Taixue.

Logically speaking, Zhang Youzhi and Yang Nanzhong should have a good friendship.But in fact Zhang Yue followed Zhang Youzhi for many years but never heard Yang Nanzhong's name from the other party.

Seeing Zhang Yue hesitated, Liu Ji asked, "Is there any difficulty?"

Zhang Yue thought about it and said: "It's not a problem. If Yang Zhidao wants to engrave a seal, I happen to have one here, and I will give it to the head of the house. The head of the house will handle it himself, but if you are in front of Yang Zhidao, don't say that I gave it to you." .”

After thinking about it, Liu Jilue said knowingly: "Don't worry Sanlang, I won't tell the outside world that you gave it as a gift."

Zhang Yue took a chapter and gave it to Liu Ji.

"Sanlang, what a friend."

Zhang Yue smiled, Liu Ji covered up his daytime naps and not being able to get out of bed when he heard drums, and the two engraved seals were not worth a lot of effort, except that it took some effort.

Liu Ji took out a bag of money and said, "Sanlang, please accept some kindness."

Zhang Yue declined and said, "What are you talking about among your classmates? I won't accept it."

Seeing that Zhang Yu resolutely refused, Liu Ji refused to send it again.

The next day Liu Ji came to the house again, gave Zhang Yue a new robe and said with a smile: "Sanlang, this robe is too short for me, and I don't bother to change it. Seeing that Sanlang's clothes are old, I just give it to you. .”

Seeing Liu Ji's sincerity, Zhang Yue first asked, "What did Yang Zhidao think of the seal yesterday?"

Liu Ji laughed and said: "Yang Zhidao likes it very much, he said such an exquisite thing is really rare."

Zhang Yue laughed and said, "It's easy to say, if you ask Yang Zhizhi to ask you again, the head of the house will give you an order, and I will come within three to five days."

Liu Ji smiled and said, "That's really thanks to Sanlang."

Only then did Zhang Yue accept the robe and said, "Don't dare to do it. The Guozijian's examination is coming soon, so I'll congratulate the head of the fasting house first."

Liu Ji laughed out loud when he heard the words, and said to himself, "I've borrowed a good word from Saburo."

After a few days, the Guozijian's examinations and the Kaifeng government's examinations are all open.

Today's officials can be said to be generous.

Fan Zhongyan's reform has always talked about the disadvantages of "redundant officials", but the official family has been the disadvantage of the big Kaifeng officials in recent years.

Not only are there countless yin officials, but also the tribute examination is held every two years. This subject has increased the number of Jinshi from more than 390 to more than 500.

Regardless of the burden of the court, scholars are very happy anyway.

After Liu Ji changed his name, he passed No. 2 in the Guozijian Examination, as expected.

Zhang Yue was calm about this, but the news that followed made him extremely uneasy.

Because Kaifeng Mansion Solution No. 1 turned out to be... Zhang Dun.

Fuyuan!

It is important to know that the number one in each solution test is called Jieyuan, but the Kaifeng Fu solution test No. 1 is called Fuyuan.

What does Kaifeng Fufu yuan mean?
Next year, the number of Scholars will be allocated in this way. There will be 210 Jinshi from Kaifeng Mansion, 100 Jinshi from Guozijian, and 200 Jinshi from the Ministry of Rites.

Kaifeng Fuyuan has never heard of someone who failed the provincial examination, and Fuyuan is a frequent visitor to the top Jinshi.

When Zhang Yue heard that Zhang Dun won the Kaifeng Fu Yuan, he really had mixed feelings.

In the days after he entered the imperial school, he had almost forgotten about his elder brother, and no one in his classmates even mentioned the names of Zhang Dun and Zhang Heng in front of him for a while.

But after Zhang Dun won the Kaifeng Fu Yuan, everyone thought of Zhang Yue again.

"Sanlang, your Zhang family is really amazing. Last year's champion was Zhang Ziping, and this year's Kaifeng mansion is Zhang Zihou. It's true that every year the scenery is taken by your Zhang family."

"Zhang Zi is really thick. I even laughed at him for abandoning the list last year. Now it seems that I am really short-sighted. For a man like him, getting a Jinshi is like picking something out of a pocket."

"Sanlang, do you know Zi Ping Zihou? At least you can recommend one or two for us."

Zhang Yue said in his heart, it is obvious that someone won the mansion, why are you here to congratulate me?
Zhang Yue didn't say much, just smiled and said nothing, didn't mention the relationship with the two of them, everyone just said it.

This day Wu Anchi also said: "Congratulations to Saburo. Your Zhang family is about to add another Jinshi."

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Thank you Erlang-jun, to be honest, this matter is beyond my expectation."

Wu Anchi smiled and said, "It's not a surprise if there are any accidents. In the future, my brother will invite Ziping Zihou to the banquet in my Wu residence. Then everyone will sit down and talk."

Wu Anchi's words to himself were mostly polite at first, but now that he heard that Zhang Dun had won a Jinshi, he was more enthusiastic.

It's just that Zhang Yue was smiling on the surface, but he was thinking in his heart, did he go to Wu Mansion the day after tomorrow?Or simply goo?
