I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 285 Three Realms of Studying
Although Gu Xueshi and Old General Yang had never met, the first letter Zhan Feiyu brought that day was a temptation. Both parties had the intention of cooperating, but they were worried that the Holy Majesty would not have a positive contact.

Furthermore, some words can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. Zhan Feiyu's actions in Xiangwu County represent Gu Xueshi's meaning. The master and apprentice never really talked about the military power of the Yang family and Longyou Dao, but they did There is a natural understanding.

"Sir." Zhan Feiyu's snow-white Baozi face was a little serious, and he looked at Qiu Zongxi who was asking and replied seriously: "Just like what I said to Uncle Yang before, as long as the Yang family does not cooperate with the enemy and treason, the teacher will definitely do his best to help you." Like the Yang family, the people of the Daqing Dynasty are also the bottom line for my teacher and me."

Sharp knives can hurt people, but they can also protect people!
Whether it is power or military power, it is a sharp blade to a certain extent. Gu Qingzhou holds power and is good at strategy, but his purpose is for the people of the world, and the guarding of the border by the Yang family is also the same. The two sides can cooperate It is also because of the same Tao that they conspire together.

Even though this was said by a young girl, Qiu Zongxi believed it, and his seemingly fierce and fierce expression instantly eased, "Your words are enough."

Gu Qingzhou and the little girl are both scheming people. Yang Xu's elm head has not yet opened up. Qiu Zongxi and Old General Yang both know that Yang Xu's talent lies in martial arts and the art of war. He will be a leader in the future. A general who fights with soldiers, but will never become a courtier who is proficient in strategy and calculation.

The situation in the court is treacherous, especially the Holy One is already at the age of knowing the destiny, and within 20 years, he will definitely establish a reserve. The bachelor is helping out in the middle of the capital, so he will be able to survive this period safely.

Qiu Zongxi had something on his mind, and when the topic changed, he immediately talked about Zhan Feiyu's new poem, and snorted coldly, "I'm too lazy to comment on your poem."

The self-aware Zhan Feiyu laughed awkwardly, it was just smooth and nothing new, so don't comment if you don't comment, so as not to make Mr. Qiu angry.

Picking up the pen, Qiu Zongxi dipped it in the ink, and then quickly wrote a new song "Xiang Ling Drum Se" under Zhan Feiyu's poem.

"This poem was written by the predecessors." Qiu Zongxi put down his pen, and the little girl's poem was written in the same handwriting as Yang Xu's tortoise crawled out. It hurts his eyes if he looked at it more often, "How about you talk about this poem first?"

He is good at drumming the cloud and playing the se, and often hears about the spirit of the emperor... At the end of the song, no one is seen, and there are several peaks on the river.

Zhan Feiyu turned around and looked at it, and what caught his eye was the continuous strokes of Zhangcao, probably because Zhan Feiyu was still small and the font was restrained, not wild enough.

After quickly looking at the complete poem, Zhan Feiyu replied: "The title of the poem comes from "Chu Ci·Yuan You": Make the Xiang Ling drum and sing, and make the sea dance like Feng Yi."

Legend has it that after the death of Emperor Shun, he was buried in Cangwu Mountain. His concubine threw herself into the Xiangshui River because of her grief and became the god of Xiangshui River.

Qiu Zongxi already knew that Zhan Feiyu had a good memory, "Just say the first two sentences."

"The first two sentences point out the legend that the goddess of Xiangshui is good at playing the harp, and secretly use the meaning of "Nine Songs Mrs. Xiang": the emperor's son descends to the north, describing the goddess descending gracefully to the shore of Xiangshui..." On poetic talent Zhan Feiyu doesn't know anything about it, but when it comes to commenting, she definitely knows how to do it.

"The whole poem is the most brilliant, and what makes the whole poem shine is the last two lines: At the end of the song, no one is seen, and there are many peaks on the river." Zhan Feiyu recited it unconsciously, and it really is a poem that can be passed down for hundreds of years.

The key point is this is a test post poem. Zhan Feiyu has to admire the rich imagination of the poet for being able to write such beautiful poems in the cramped and narrow test room. It is estimated that he can imagine Qiong Yao's feast while eating cold steamed buns.

Looking at Zhan Feiyu who was talking eloquently, Qiu Zongxi stroked his beard and snorted coldly, "It can be said that, you should write a poem that is as good as a tiger for this old man to read."

Zhan Feiyu's face collapsed in an instant, "Sir, you are in a difficult situation."

When Yang Xu and Qiu Jinyu came to the study, Zhan Feiyu's new poems were not only smashed into a ball by Qiu Zongxi and thrown into a charcoal basin, but now she was standing in front of the desk, scolded like a dog, with a face full of lovelessness .

Yang Xu looked worriedly at Zhan Feiyu, who had a wrinkled bun face, "Grandpa Qiu?"

"You still know to come to the study room? The old man thought that you had been running out happily these two days, and planned to roll up your bed and go to the county government to lock you up!" The spearhead was aimed at Yang Xu in an instant, after all, he met Zhan Feiyu's black and round eyes Well, when Qiu Zongxi scolded people, he always looked away. The little girl was born too well, and Yuxue was so cute that she couldn't scold her unless she was cruel.

But facing the dark and thin Yang Xu, Qiu Zongxi no longer had such worries, all the anger spewed out, and Yang Xu was so scolded that he couldn't lift his head.

According to Qiu Zongxi, for Zhang's selfish, greedy and vain woman, it's fine for Yang Xu to go to prison to visit, and toss again and again, trying to save Zhang's life. If Qiu Zongxi hadn't received a letter from Old General Yang before , he could break Yang Xu's leg when he got angry.

A quarter of an hour later, Qiu Zongxi, who was finally at ease, gave Zhan Feiyu homework again.

Yang Xu continued his great career of copying books. As for Qiu Jinyu, it was Qiu Zongxi's concession to let him follow him into the study room. As for giving homework advice, there was absolutely no such thing.

The study room became quiet again, and Qiu Zongxi, who had a thirsty mouth, drank half a cup of tea, glanced at Zhan Feiyu whose eyeballs were gliding, "You don't write quickly, and you are thinking about something else."

"Sir, I've heard people talk about the three major realms of scholarship." Zhan Feiyu wrote two poems in a row, and although both were criticized as useless, she really has no poetry in her mind at this moment.

"Tell me." Qiu Zongxi also knew that he was picking faults. The little girl's essays are good, but her poetry can only be regarded as below-average, but she can pass the imperial examinations without any problem.

Just because she is Gu Xueshi's only junior disciple, if the chief examiner or marking officer dares to fail her examination paper because of the test post, it is estimated that her official career in this life has come to an end.

"The first stage: The westerly wind withered the green trees last night. I went up to the tall building alone, looking all the way to the end of the world." Zhan Feiyu kept his voice low, not disturbing Qiu Jinyu who was reading a book in front of the desk on the other side and Yang Xu who was about to post.

"The belt is getting wider and I don't regret it. It makes people haggard because of Yixiao. This is the second state." Zhan Feiyu continued, "I searched for him thousands of times in the crowd, and suddenly I looked back, but the man was there, in a dimly lit place. Here Also the third realm."

Qiu Zongxi couldn't help putting down his teacup, and quickly went through the three realms in his mind, his expression was full of comprehension and emotion, and he didn't speak for a long time.

On the other side, Yang Xu glanced at Zhan Feiyu, admiring Zhan Feiyu. Just now Xiaoyu was scolded by Grandpa Qiu, but it would be as if nothing happened.

Yang Xu remembered the first time he learned characters from Qiu Zongxi, the five-year-old Yang Xu didn't scold him and his eyes were red on the spot.

In terms of thick-skinned, Zhan Feiyu recognized the second, absolutely no one can recognize the first.

Although Qiu Jinyu is a scholar, he is also a practicing family, so although Zhan Feiyu's voice is lowered, Qiu Jinyu heard it, and he is also thinking about the three realms of academic research. The more he thinks about it, the more wonderful he feels. What the maester said?

After confirming that Qiu Zongxi was in deep thought, Zhan Feiyu breathed out silently, and then calmed down and rewrote the previous two poems. The sad reminder of the imperial examination...

……

Temporarily living in a courtyard in Xiangwu County, Zhang Minxian had a complicated look on his face, feeling lucky after escaping the catastrophe.

There were footsteps outside the door.

"Brother." Zhang Minhua entered the room, let the servant girl sweep the falling snow off the cloak, looked at Zhang Minxian who was sitting in the main seat, and said, "Wang Wu is back?"

"Uncle." Zhou Shuyao, who was idle and bored, also followed.

Xiangwu County is a small place, in this weather where drops of water turn into ice, Zhou Shuyao can only huddle in a small courtyard, wishing he could go to Linzhou Mansion immediately, and sit around the fireplace with a group of close friends in the snow to search for plums. It's called comfortable and comfortable.

When the servant girl came over with tea, Zhang Minxian waved his hand to make people retreat, looked at the mother and daughter sitting at the bottom, and said after a long while: "Wang Wu just came back from inquiring about the news."

Without waiting for Zhang Minhua's mother and daughter to speak, Zhang Minxian continued: "The identity of the little girl who clashed with Shuyao in the teahouse the day before yesterday has been found."

"Uncle, who is she? Is it General Yang's illegitimate daughter?" Zhou Shuyao's eyes lit up, too excited to notice Zhang Minhua's warning gaze.

As the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, Zhou Shuyao, who was born in an official family, also inherited the court training from a young age. The rules and etiquette were engraved in her bones, but after all, she was spoiled until she was 14 years old. The birth girl said such things on the lips, and she also looked gloating.

Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, Zhang Minhua knew that Zhou Shuyao was unconvinced, and wanted to get back her position. If the little girl had no background, Shuyao might be able to get someone to come and snatch the white jade rabbit back.

It's not about thinking about a small object, but losing face.

"Gu Xueshi's disciple." Zhang Minxian didn't hide anything, but he was thankful that Zhang Minhua resolved the conflict that day and did not make any enmity, otherwise the Zhang family might be in danger of destroying the family.

"Bachelor Gu? Who is that person in the court?" Zhou Shuyao was puzzled, Longyou Road was far away from Jiangnan Road, not to mention that Zhan Feiyu's story was only spread in Nanxuan Mansion and Zhongzhou Mansion.

After all, she is just a little girl. Even if she is Gu Xueshi's disciple, it is impossible for her to become an official. It's not surprising that Zhou Shuyao in the house doesn't know.

After all, Zhang Minhua is the head wife of the Zhou family, and often deals with other officials' wives, but she doesn't know much about the court affairs, but she knows Gu Xueshi, who has power in the court.

Zhang Minhua couldn't help but startled, "Brother, are you sure there is nothing wrong? How could Xueshi Gu accept a female disciple?"

Looking at the Daqing Dynasty, Gu Qingzhou's name is absolutely known to everyone, especially the official family and the scholarly family. It is even more known that many scholars have thought of learning from Gu Xueshi, and since then they have been on the rise.

"Do you think that little girl is an ordinary person?" Zhang Minxian recalled the scene in the teahouse that day. Although the little girl was young, she had a bookish air, and her demeanor was much stronger than that of Shuyao. Attitude.

Zhang Minxian said again: "She is still a scholar, and she is a junior in the Nanxuan Mansion's imperial examination."

"What?" Zhou Shuyao opened her mouth wide in a daze. She also read and practiced calligraphy, and was also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but reading for boudoir girls is more about cultivating sentiment.

The imperial examination is really about writing articles, it is about memorizing the Four Books and Five Classics, and the classics and history collections upside down, which is completely different from Zhou Shuyao and other so-called talented women. .

Zhang Minhua quickly accepted this fact, and just asked, "Why did she come to Xiangwu County?"

What is a young girl doing in this barren Xiangwu County without the company of her elders?
"Before we guessed that Mrs. Zhang was either sent to prison by the Yang family, or was sent to prison by someone who flattered the Yang family." After all, Zhang Minxian was only a fifth-rank acquaintance, and the news in Linzhou Prefecture was indeed well-informed.

But it was not so easy for Zhang Minxian to inquire about the news when he left Linzhou Mansion and went to other lands, and it was a matter of confidentiality.

"Isn't it?" Zhang Minhua thought for a moment before blurting out, "Could it be that little girl did it?"

Zhang Yiyi is nothing to be afraid of, and in Zhang Minwei's eyes, she is even a lowly person, but she is the pillow of Zhenbianhou after all, and it depends on the owner to beat a dog. Zhang Yiyi was arrested, and it was Zhenbianhou who beat her The face of the government.

So the person who did this could only be the Yang family who is about to recover, or someone who is loyal to the Yang family, or someone who curry favor with the Yang family, but Zhang Minhua really didn't expect it to be Zhan Feiyu.

But after thinking about it, that little girl is Gu Xueshi's disciple, so what if the town's Marquis is strong?Once the Yang family recovers, the Zhenbian Hou Mansion will fall, and Xueshi Gu is the confidant of the Holy Majesty, a cabinet scholar with less than one person and more than ten thousand people. His disciples let alone order Zhang Yiyi to be arrested, even if they kill him Even the Marquis of Zhenbian would never dare to seek justice.

Knowing Zhan Feiyu's unattainable status, plus she is now living in the Qiu Mansion with Yang Xu, Zhang Minxian and Zhang Minhua couldn't help but think about it.

"Could it be that the bachelor wants to marry the Yang family?" Zhang Minhua is a woman in the back house, and her first reaction is to marry, and the two surnames are good.

One side is a disciple of the great scholar of the current dynasty, and Gu Xueshi is not married and has no children, so Zhan Feiyu's identity is no different from his daughter.

One side is the only son of the general's mansion who is about to be restored, and the general who will hold the military power in the future. If these two get married, they will not dare to provoke even the princes and grandchildren in the Daqing Dynasty.

Zhang Minxian stroked his short beard and sighed, "I'm afraid that's the case, otherwise how could she, a little girl, come to Xiangwu County in a hurry." If Zhang's family and Yang's relationship is restored, then it is equivalent to Gu Xueshi's The in-laws are married, so why should the Zhang family worry about development in the future?

Zhang Minxian doesn't have to keep working on his qualifications, maybe he can be promoted to magistrate after the Ministry of Households evaluation, and he can go to six departments before the age of 50. With the support of Bachelor Gu, even the cabinet can look forward to it.
