Jinyi champion

Chapter 308 Bias
After hearing this, Zhu Hao almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

And when is the exam finished?The first exam in Mingming Mansion takes a whole day, but you actually let me finish the exam in one morning?

How dare you speak so confidently!
Facing such a thick-skinned person...

Zhu Hao chose not to argue with him.

Anyway, it’s not been a day or two since I’ve known Tang Yin, this old boy always does some outrageous things, maybe he’s really not very confident, he’s so timid even meeting an old friend, you deserved to be poor for half your life in your previous life, and you’re the one who was cast in a movie in your later life Touted in every possible way, it turns out that you are such a Tang Bohu!
In the afternoon of that day, Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin went to meet the other three people who were friends with each other during the county examination. Unfortunately, the five people who took the examination together at the beginning were one less. Zhu Hao, Peng Dong, who was provocative, and Zhang Lewei, who was relatively calm and afraid of causing trouble, passed the test together, but their rankings were not very high.

"Sure enough, you are the county's chief case. No wonder the city is saying that the government is giving and accepting privately. The morals of this world are really old-fashioned!"

Although Peng Dong's tone was still not kind, his arrogance was obviously not as good as before.

It's not that he has to show weakness, it's all because his ranking in the county test is not as good as Zhu Hao's, and the condescending aura at the beginning collapsed in an instant.

Zhang Lewei said: "Mr. Zhu and Mr. Yuan are taught by famous teachers. Even Fan Xuezheng recognizes their talents. If you want to come to the county to take the exam, they will not be a problem at all."

While speaking, Zhang Lewei looked at Zhu Hao with envy.

They only take one exam to be able to test a county case chief, and they will soon become a scholar at a young age, which means that they can be exempted from corvee in the future. These days, just a corvee is enough to make a grown man miserable. If something happens, the whole family will be ruined...

Having fame and fame can be said to be the lifelong pursuit of a child of a merchant family.

Yuan Rulin said: "Zhu Hao is very talented and learned. He got the county chief case based on his real ability."

"Really? I don't think so?"

Peng Dong's tone was still bad.

Although he was dissatisfied, the four of them still got along with each other in this government examination, and one more person was an old Confucian scholar who had participated in several government examinations but never passed. He might feel embarrassed that he didn't come to this gathering.

Zhang Lewei said with a smile: "Rumors are spreading widely outside now, saying that there is a connection between the Wangfu and the state government, but I think it is purely false. If the government really intends to favor the children from the Wangfu, why is the person in charge of the case in Zhongxian County not Mr. Yuan?" , but what about Young Master Zhu?"

One sentence hits the point.

It is said that there is a tricky relationship between the government and the Wangfu, privately giving and receiving, and sending the two children selected by the Wangfu to pass the county test. It sounds very in line with the subconscious cognition of ordinary students, but it is hard to explain——

Yuan Rulin is the grandson of Shi Yuan Zonggao, the head of the royal family who was born as a Jinshi. He is even older, and meets the conditions that a county chief should have. If Yuan Rulin is the county chief, he will not attract criticism. After all, others will think that Yuan Rulin is from a famous family , I was taught by my grandfather since I was a child, and when I am about to become an adult, what happened to the county chief case?
Do you have to find a nine-year-old child to be the county case?Deliberately making outsiders suspicious?Besides, Zhu Hao is from Xing Wangfu, but he is not the child of any official in the Wangfu. What good does this do for the Wangfu?
Zhang Lewei said: "Last time, I didn't have time to have a good discussion with the two of you. I will take the government examination tomorrow. I wonder if the two gentlemen can bet on the questions?"

Yuan Rulin looked confused: "Why do you want to bet?"

A knowing smile appeared on Zhu Hao's face.

Just now Zhang Lewei clarified for him, saying that there is no connection between the government and the palace, but he turned his face and asked if there was any bet?The meaning is obvious, if your husband bets on the question, no matter whether he gets it or not, it may be a question for the tomorrow's government exam. Tell me that I can prepare for it when I go back.

Even Peng Dong, who was on the side, understood the meaning, and looked at Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin expectantly, hoping that they could reveal something.

Zhu Hao sighed: "Recently, Mr. has asked a lot of questions, I don't know if it counts as a bet...Ru Lin, is that so?"

Yuan Rulin thought for a while and couldn't help but nodded.

Preparing for the government exam, of course, my husband will ask questions to write articles. This is nothing unusual, but from Tang Yin to Fan Yikuan, and then to Yuan Zonggao, they have all given questions, and there are quite a few. I didn’t say which topic was specially for the government exam. Betting?Yuan Rulin didn't understand why Zhu Hao said that.

"Then...what are they?"

Zhang Lewei asked step by step.

Zhu Hao thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I can't remember everything at the moment."

"If you can't remember everything, let's focus on the key points, such as how your husband taught you, whether you specially wrote a model essay for you to memorize..."

Zhang Lewei just said, did your husband write an article for you, so that you can copy it in the tomorrow's government test.

Zhu Hao looked at Yuan Rulin curiously, and asked, "Rulin, do you remember when Mr. wrote a model essay for us?"

Yuan Rulin shook his head sincerely.

Is really not.

Both Fan Yikuan and Tang Yin have eyes above the top. They usually give some pointers to Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin's articles, but most of them are correcting the fluent sentences and grammatical errors, especially the stereotyped antithesis that needs to be strictly corrected. As for helping them Write... people don't do this kind of thing.

Zhang Lewei asked: "Then, did your husband mention many times, which chapters of "The Analects" should be focused on when preparing for the exam?"

Zhu Hao sneered and said, "Young Master Zhang, why don't you just ask what the exam questions are in the Tomorrow Mansion... This seems to be more concise and easier to answer than the winding questions you are asking now."

Zhang Lewei was poked in the center of his mind by Zhu Hao, his face flushed with shame, he lowered his head and dared not even speak.

"It's fine if you don't say it, why do you have to make things difficult for others?"

Peng Dong began to complain for Zhang Lewei.

You were still speaking nice things for these two people before, look at them, they didn't appreciate it at all, and just made sarcasm, right?

Zhu Hao said: "I said, you two, we are all taking the government examination together, why do you think we can know the test questions in advance? Fan Xuezheng is now teaching in the palace, and is known for his rigorous academic research. If he finds out and asks this Waiting for a question, he will definitely blow his beard and stare."

Of course Zhang Lewei knew Fan Yikuan's status among the local Confucian scholars.

It belongs to the erudite Confucianism, with peaches and plums all over the world, think about it, if he really knows that he asked Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin whether he leaked the question, it would be strange if he didn't rush with you!
Who do you despise?

My Fan Yikuan's disciple... Although he hasn't been trained for a few days, he is still a disciple after all, and can he help him learn by leaking questions?Then how can I gain a foothold in the education field in the future?When you say something, you must talk about evidence. If there is no evidence, I will tell you not to hang around in the scholarly circle in the future.

"I don't mean anything like that, I just want to see your preparations for the exam." Zhang Lewei hurriedly defended his behavior.

Zhu Hao smiled and said: "It's okay, the government exam is about to come, and it's reasonable to want to know more about the questions and see how well-known teachers are betting on the questions. How about this, I'll tell you the few questions that Mr. , you guys prepare for the exam well after you go back, it can be regarded as a friend."

Zhang Lewei didn't expect Zhu Hao to be so "talkative".

Before, you looked like you were going to break with them, and you turned your face to help bet on the question?
"Thank you very much."

Zhang Lewei expressed his gratitude.

From his point of view, there might be questions for tomorrow's exam, but Fan Yikuan didn't explain it to Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin?

……

……

After half an hour, Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin returned to the palace together.

On the way, Yuan Rulin asked puzzledly: "Zhu Hao, are they suspicious and think that we have some way to get the exam questions for tomorrow's government exam?"

Zhu Hao said: "I said Ru Lin, you didn't realize it until now?"

"They... how could they do this?"

Yuan Rulin is usually not good at speaking, and he is a bit dull, but he has a strong self-esteem. After finding out that he was insulted, he rolled up his sleeves, and he seemed to want to fight with others.

But Zhu Hao felt...

Are you being too slow-witted?You were stupid and didn't respond when people said it just now, but now that you think about it, you want to get back in the game, isn't it too late?
Zhu Hao sighed: "Ru Lin, we are both in the palace. If we fail the exam, they will laugh at us and even sneer, thinking that we can't get the moon if we are close to the water; but once we pass the exam, they will criticize us, saying that we failed the exam." A normal relationship can successfully pass the threshold of entering school."

"They... how could they do this?"

Yuan Rulin felt a little wronged.

I study hard and take the exam with my real talents, but I am so misunderstood by others?

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Actually, I don't blame them. What they hate is not us, but a kind of prejudice against class, clan, and gentry. It is a kind of protection from the human heart for their own failure...Everyone doesn't want to face failure directly. , Let yourself be decadent, and find a motivation to keep working hard, don't you?"

Yuan Rulin couldn't understand at all this time, and stared blankly at Zhu Hao with blank eyes.

"Let's put it this way, if we fail, we will find some excuses, such as not performing well that day, or because we were too nervous, or because we have been disturbed by mundane things recently, so we can't study at ease... Their reason is, no We are not good at learning, but because others have connections and connections... probably that's what it means."

Zhu Hao explained again.

Yuan Rulin said: "But they are wronging us."

Zhu Haodao: "Sometimes they really are not necessarily wrong. I, Da Ming, talk about human feelings. I can't say that this kind of situation doesn't exist. I can only say that we should try our best to avoid it. We can't follow the facts. Those who clean themselves will clear themselves. And this Isn’t this unruly convenience itself also a kind of rule?”

"what?"

Yuan Rulin could not accept this dialectical rhetoric at all.

Zhu Hao sighed: "It is impossible for you to change other people's prejudices. As long as you stand high enough, others can't even look up at you, and they will naturally have no prejudices. Only when you are held high by others After that, you are qualified to change everything, isn't it?"
