I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 104

Zhan Feiyu, who was questioned about plagiarism, suddenly laughed, and his small voice rang out cheerfully, "Teacher, I have made progress in art and literature. I think Master Dou will not criticize me badly this time, and maybe he will praise me." Two sentences."

Qin Ye looked at Zhan Feiyu who was bubbling with joy, and was so happy to be exposed for plagiarism?Could it be a fool?

"You tell Master Dou yourself." Zhao Jiaoyu took Zhan Feiyu's article back from Qin Ye's hand. Although he hasn't read it yet, but it can be labeled as plagiarism, it must be an art article It's a masterpiece.

Thinking of Mrs. Dou's serious face, Zhan Feiyu, who was scolded yesterday, touched his nose guilty.

The reading time is short, and although Zhan Feiyu's articles often have amazing sentences, they often make common-sense mistakes.

Master Dou was already strict. If other students of the county school had their left palms swollen by the ruler, he would not want to beat Zhan Feiyu, so he could only turn into a fire-breathing dragon and scold them severely.

Rao Zhan Feiyu was so thick-skinned that he was afraid of being scolded. Before handing in homework, he would secretly come to Zhao Jiaoyu for advice, and then hand it to Master Dou after revising and transcribing it.

"This one is pretty good." Zhao Jiaoyu said casually, saving the little girl's pride.

"I've revised it three times." Stretching out three fat fingers, Zhan Feiyu started chattering again.

Seeing Zhao Jiaoyu's kind attitude towards Zhan Feiyu, Wan Yunhao felt a sneer flash in his heart, and asked with a warm smile, "Master, are you planning to accept disciples?"

As if being poked at a sore spot, Zhao Jiaoyu suddenly raised his head and looked at Wan Yunhao with cold eyes.

Compared with back then, Wan Yunhao, who had already made a name for himself, had more arrogance and self-confidence. His brows and eyes were high-spirited and ambitious, and his demeanor was more like a child cultivated by a scholarly family.

Who would have thought that Wan Yunhao back then was a poor boy who was embracing the snow and gouging the wall to steal the light. If it weren't for Zhao Jiaoyu's funding, let alone studying for the imperial examination, the impoverished Wan Yunhao would not even be able to support himself.

"The old man said back then that he would not accept any more apprentices, so naturally he will not change his words." Zhao Jiaoyu's voice was cold, and his expression suddenly relaxed after he thought of something.

"Xiaoyu already has a teacher, so you don't need to say too much. Neither the old man nor your Yue family is qualified to accept Xiaoyu as an apprentice. You don't need to think about it. The Qin family can't offend that lord!" No matter how much Zhao Jiaoyu hated and hated Wan Yunhao, he never thought of using Master Gu to take revenge.

A gentleman does something and does not do something, otherwise what is the difference between him and a hypocrite like Wan Yunhao.

Seeing that Zhao Jiaoyu belittled the Qin family, Qin Ye retorted angrily, "It's just a little girl who is trying to gain fame! Can my Qin family take a liking to her?"

Their Qin family is a scholarly family. What kind of person is Zhan Feiyu, who dares to make the Qin family take the initiative to accept disciples?

Wan Yunhao's expression changed slightly, not because Zhao Jiaoyu had guessed his next move, but because Zhao Jiaoyu had awe and admiration when he mentioned Teacher Zhan Feiyu just now.

No matter who the other party is, his background is probably far stronger than the Qin family's. Could it be a certain adult in the court?
For a while, Wan Yunhao thought a lot, and looked at Zhan Feiyu with complex eyes, who was also born in the countryside. He married the daughter of the Qin family and got the cultivation of the Qin family. It was only then that he successfully passed the exam and gained fame and prestige in Nanxuan Mansion.

But Wan Yunhao knew that this was far from enough, and he would try it in the next year!

Not to mention the prosperity of Jiangnan's literary style, even the Northern Shilin has produced several talented candidates, and my father-in-law also said that he can compete for the top two rankings, and the top one is absolutely impossible.

Wan Yunhao became famous when he was young. Wan Yunhao went all the way from a young scholar to the youngest candidate in Nanxuan Mansion. Unfortunately, he was beaten by Duan Jingpei in the provincial examination and only got one sub-yuan.

But now, when he looked at Zhan Feiyu, the little girl's eyes were clean and bright, and her spiritual wisdom was full of bookishness. When he thought that she could worship a famous teacher, and since then, his career has been soaring, and his painstaking efforts over the years suddenly seemed like a joke!
"Brother-in-law, don't stop me..." The haughty Qin Ye didn't intend to leave at all, and wanted Zhao Jiaoyu to tell who Zhan Feiyu's teacher was, so that they dare not put their Qin family in their eyes.

But Wan Yunhao's face was too gloomy, Qin Ye was inexplicably a little scared, and didn't dare to make a fuss, and was dragged away obediently.

Seeing that Zhao Jiaoyu was still worried after the two left, Zhan Feiyu couldn't help but became worried, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

After half an hour.

"I heard that you wanted to be a teacher before, but Master Lin refused." Zhao Jiaoyu looked at Zhan Feiyu in front of him, but his empty eyes seemed to see people and things that had been dusty for many years through her.

"Yes." Zhan Feiyu nodded.

Master Lin didn't want to delay Zhan Feiyu, not to mention that he knew that he was only enlightening Zhan Feiyu and couldn't afford to be a teacher.

Zhao Jiaoyu opened his mouth and said, "Master Lin is a true gentleman! At that time, the old man planned to accept disciples..."

The weight of a master and a teacher is completely different. The person who preaches and teaches karma is the master, while the teacher is a teacher for a day and a father for life!There is only one formal apprenticeship step between Zhao Jiaoyu and Wan Yunhao.

Eighty percent of the reason for Zhao Jiaoyu back then was for the good of Wan Yunhao, because he loved and valued this student, and the remaining [-]% ​​of the reason was probably because of the reputation of "a famous teacher produces a high-quality apprentice".

Although he is a Juren, if he can teach a Jinshi disciple, it will be an honor for a lifetime.

"The old man didn't expect that he kept calling the teacher, but he had already planned to seek another famous teacher. He probably thought that the old man was just a hypocrite for fame, valued his reading talent, and wanted to trap him with the title of master and apprentice." Zhao Jiaoyu laughed at himself.

After Wan Yunhao passed the examination as a scholar, Zhao Jiaoyu thought about double happiness, but he heard him tell Shutong privately that Zhao Jiaoyu liked the calligraphy of the masters of calligraphy in the previous dynasty, and he wanted to find an authentic work as a teacher's ceremony, otherwise he would I have no face to ask for a teacher.

Wan Yunhao was only 12 years old at the time, and he was still a boy, and he said with a bookish spirit, "The teacher has recreated me, if I don't find the original work for a day, I won't learn from my teacher for a day!"

When Zhao Jiaoyu heard the childish words, he was both funny and moved. In order to take care of Wan Yunhao's self-esteem, he didn't mention the matter of apprenticeship.

Zhan Feiyu also understood when he heard this, but he was a little puzzled, "What else did Wan Yunhao do?"

If you just learn from others, the teaching will definitely be sad. Disciples are like children, whoever is betrayed by their own children will feel uncomfortable, but they will never hold grudges for many years. There must be something hidden in it.

But when he thought of Wan Yunhao's yelling at each other just now, Zhan Feiyu curled his lips in disgust, "Teacher, an ungrateful person worships you as a teacher. In the future, he will be an official and cause harm to others. Wouldn't it be more uncomfortable and self-sufficient to teach you?" Responsibility? That’s why I instruct you to thank him for his kindness in the past!”

Teach a white-eyed wolf, the discomfort is only temporary, only blame yourself for being blind!But if a traitor and a corrupt official can be taught, Zhao Jiaoyu probably will die to thank the world.

Uh...Zhao Jiaoyu looked at the righteous Zhan Feiyu who said nonsense, was startled for a moment, and suddenly burst into laughter, the haze that had accumulated in his heart for many years suddenly disappeared.

"Haha, Xiaoyu, you are right, the old man should thank him!" Zhao Jiaoyu laughed openly, but walked out of the old things.

Zhan Feiyu didn't intend to ask any further questions, but he didn't like Wan Yunhao and the Qin family at all, so he hummed and said, "Seeing him build a tall building, seeing him entertain guests, seeing his building collapse. Please, let's wait. "

After leaving the county school, Wan Yunhao got into the carriage with his eyes closed and meditated. His father-in-law asked him to find out what Zhao Jiaoyu was up to.

The Qin family received a secret letter from the capital. The letter only said that Zhao Jiaoyu had a prescription in his hand, which was a prescription that benefited the country and the people. If it came true, the Qin family would surely be able to soar into the sky!
Wan Yunhao was Zhao Jiaoyu's enlightenment teacher back then, until he was admitted as a scholar, he had a mentoring relationship for more than ten years, but Wan Yunhao knew in his heart that Zhao Jiaoyu not only would not reveal it, but did not kick himself out because of him cultivation and character.

"Brother-in-law, Tang Bo really intends to take Zhan Feiyu as his apprentice?" Qin Ye muttered dissatisfiedly, showing disdain and resistance in his haughty posture.

But after all, he was young, and the unease in his eyes did not escape Wan Yunhao's eyes, and he was afraid of being compared by Zhan Feiyu after all.

Qin Ye is the most talented in reading in the second generation of the Qin family, but he is also the youngest. He is an old man from the third house. His two older brothers and cousins ​​have already married and had children. The oldest child is older than Qin Ye. The little uncle is one year older.

"Zhao Jiaoyu is strict in his studies. Zhan Feiyu must have real talents and learning. It is normal for his father-in-law to want to take her under his family. After all, she is a girl. Maybe she will marry you in the future and have a good talk with you," Wan Yunhao comforted. Touching Qin Ye's head, contempt quickly flashed in his eyes, Qin Ye's aristocratic families are just reincarnated!In terms of talent and learning, he is far worse than himself
"Who wants to marry that country girl!" Qin Ye yelled, the contempt on his face was undisguised, "A country girl, besides reading, what else can she do? She doesn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting! I don't think I have a dowry." The monthly salary is a lot, and if I want to marry, I must marry the daughter of an official family, this is the right match!"

Wan Yunhao's eyes were a bit fierce. Qin Ye looked down on Zhan Feiyu, so did he also look down on himself? Who told him that Wan Yunhao also came from a rural background, and the dowry was prepared by the Qin family.

……

At noon, the weather was hot and dry, and the students of the county school went back to their dormitories to rest.

"You don't have to worry, little fish. With Mr. Chen here, no one will deceive you." Catcher Zhao almost patted his chest to promise.

Although they were only the Yamen's arresters, they were well informed. Now Mr. Chen has taken refuge in Zhang Zhifu, so even if Mr. Tong came to Shangsi County, he would not be able to get any advantage.

"I know, thank you for letting me know." Zhan Feiyu thanked with a smile. It seemed that Sun Fu and the others were going to prison, and Tong Tongzhi was also in a hurry, so he sent Mr. Tong to lead the battle.

The back hall of the county government.

Although Tong Xu is only a scholar, as the eldest son of Tong Zhi, he is naturally qualified to sit on an equal footing with Chen County Magistrate, "Master Chen, Sun Fu is doing mischief in the name of Tongfu, please Master Chen to investigate thoroughly. Don't let such villains corrupt my father's official voice!"

Although Mrs. Yu is Tong Xu's mother in name, and Tong Xu calls the Yu brothers uncles, Sun Fu is his blood-related uncle after all. Although Tong Xu's words are to protect Mr. Tong, it is also chilling.

"Nephew Tongxian, don't worry, the state owns the laws of the country. Sun Fu not only beat up the county school instructors and students, but also harassed the same adults. This is adding to the crime. The county will definitely investigate and punish severely, and give an explanation to scholars all over the world! "Chen Weibin's face is cold and dignified. Even if Sun Fu is not the younger brother of the second wife of the same mansion, he will not let go of such a lawless thug!

The smile on Tong Xu's face froze, and he hated even more in his heart. Chen Weibin really took refuge in Zhang Zhifu as his father said, otherwise how dare he send his uncle to prison and spread the case to everyone!

"My lord, little Zhan Mengtong is here." After the boy replied at the door, he signaled Zhan Feiyu to enter the flower hall.

"Master Chen." After saluting, Zhan Feiyu glanced at Tong Xu.

Compared with Wan Yunhao whom he just met in the morning, Tong Xu was obviously a little different. Although his clothes were more luxurious and his aura was more flamboyant, he was not as good at disguising as Wan Yunhao.

"It turns out that this is the little child prodigy from Shangsi County, who has admired his name for a long time." Tong Xulang laughed, but took the initiative to show his favor, "I came here in a hurry today, so this jade pendant should be regarded as a meeting gift."

In terms of age, Tong Xu is already 21, and he already has a reputation as a scholar, so he can barely be regarded as an elder, so it is appropriate to give Zhan Feiyu a meeting gift.

The jade pendant that Tong Xu carried with him was naturally of the same quality, while the small fish pendant was transparent and warm, but it was the best blue and white jade.

If someone has shallow eyelids, he will definitely accept it.Even though he was a noble one, Tong Xu only said that this was a meeting gift from his elders, and it was reasonable to accept it.

Taking a step back, this jade pendant worth hundreds of taels of silver can also be regarded as Tong Xu's apology, and he will disregard the relationship, Sun Fu is also Sun's younger brother.

"Sun Fuzong injured my teacher. Even if it had nothing to do with the Tongfu, it was the Tongfu who gave Sun Fu the confidence to beat people. Please take back the jade pendant of the same son, otherwise I will have no face to go back to the county school!" Zhan Feiyu snapped With a chubby face, he sternly rejected Tong Xu's overtures.

Both Chen Weibin and Tong Xu were taken aback, neither of them expected Zhan Feiyu to be so straightforward.

No matter in the officialdom or in the aristocratic family, he has always seen through but not revealed, and never revealed through.No matter how they quarreled in private, they were always smiling, and they didn't leave anyone with anything to say.

Tong Xu's complexion suddenly sank, and he was so energetic that he didn't know how to flatter him, but he was relieved, after all, she was a country girl, and it was hard to become a master!

"Xiao Mengtong Zhan has such a temper!" The sarcasm sounded, and Tong Xu looked at the unruly Zhan Feiyu with disdain. Thinking of the previous layout, sarcasm flashed quickly in his eyes, and he hoped that she would be so stubborn tomorrow!
"Sun Fu has a good reputation with the same son!" Zhan Feiyu sneered back, "A merchant dared to beat up scholars outside the county school, and he couldn't find anyone else in the entire Daqing Dynasty!"

"You!" Standing up abruptly, Tong Xu was furious, but he also knew that both Chen Weibin and Zhan Feiyu were determined to be enemies of the Tongfu, and staying any longer would be just humiliating themselves, "Don't bother Chen Weibin." The county magistrate is in office, farewell!"

County magistrate Chen ignored Tong Xu who left angrily, but looked at Zhan Feiyu and said, "Don't be so reckless in the future."

"Yes, the students remember the adults' teachings." Zhan Feiyu restrained his sharpness, and became a well-behaved and polite little boy again, "My lord, are you here with the eldest son?"

"It's just to test the official's attitude." Chen Weibin explained that by sending Sun Fu to prison, he expressed his attitude of taking refuge in Zhang Zhifu, and Tong Xu's move was just a formality.

Chen Weibin glanced outside the flower hall, and the servants and maids immediately retreated to stand in the courtyard knowingly. He could not hear the conversation in the room, and made sure that no one would eavesdrop.
