The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1277 The Scholars Outside the Academy

In the afternoon, when Xuan Shijing rode to the academy, he saw a few scholars wandering outside the academy, got off his horse, and led the horse to the side entrance of the academy.

"This brother." The scholars outside saw Xuan Shijing leading the horse to go there, walked quickly to Xuan Shijing's side, cupped his hands and said: "This brother is also named after Mr. Xiao and Mr. Gao. Come on."

Xuan Shijing stopped and nodded: "Yeah, what's the matter?"

"Brother, don't rush into the academy, and just wait outside honestly. This academy doesn't allow outsiders like us to enter, for fear of disturbing the two gentlemen's lectures." The man said.

The scholars waiting at the gate of the academy are also polite.

"You all want to meet the two husbands?" Xuan Shijing asked, "I am from this Zhuangzi. Why are there so many scholars on Zhuangzi recently?"

"That's right, brother, it's time for spring next year." The scholar responded to Xuan Shijing: "I came to Chang'an more than half a year in advance, and I also wanted to come to Chang'an while waiting for next year's spring, and at the same time I wanted to study in Chang'an It’s just that we can’t enter the Imperial College, after all, it’s a government school. I heard from people in Chang’an City that Mingde Academy in Dongshan County is a folk school, and there are Mr. Xiao and Mr. Gao giving lectures in the academy. It’s just that I didn’t expect that this gate of folk studies has never been entered.”

"All those who study in this academy are the children of Zhuangzi. The two gentlemen, Xiao Yu and Gao Jian, give lectures here, and they are just talking about some elementary knowledge." Xuan Shijing said: "These You have learned things when you first started studying, so even if you enter this academy, it is useless, and the two gentlemen will not leave those children alone just because you are going to enter the spring next year, and go to give you lectures."

"However, since it is a lecture, everyone can listen to it, and I will take the big exam next year. There is not much time left for us, and those children will still have time in the future."

"What's your name?" Xuan Shijing looked at the scholar who spoke just now, his expression was not very good.

"I'm under Yang Gao." The scholar cupped his hands and said.

"What you said just now is what you think in your heart, right? If so, you don't have to participate in next year's Spring Festival. With your character, no matter how talented you are, the imperial court will not use you." Xuan Shijing said coldly Laughed.

"This brother, whether you can be hired by the imperial court is the final decision of the imperial court, not yours. If Chunwei wins the Jinshi examination, enters the imperial palace, and participates in the imperial examination, even if he does not have the top three, he will There is an official." Yang Gao said, but his tone was not as kind as before, because what Xuan Shijing said was really satirizing him.

"Every year throughout the Tang Dynasty, the scholars who go to Chang'an, the capital of the country, to participate in the Spring Festival are like crucian carp crossing the river. Apart from coming to Chang'an with their own hard work, there are also people who are recommended by the state government, or go to Chang'an to apply for investment bank papers in the mansion of Daguan Xungui. There are so many people. Calculated, there are tens of thousands of people who participated in the Spring Festival, and there are only twenty or thirty people who can go to the palace to participate in the palace examination, brother, are you really confident that you can make it to the palace examination?" Xuan Shijing asked with a smile .

"Success or failure, you have to try." Yang Gao said.

"Yes, whether you succeed or not, you have to try." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "I don't want to comment on how you behave now. If you really enter the court and become an official in the future, but you still have such a heart, Then between you and me, there will be a contest." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "If you like to wait here, then continue to wait, as long as you don't disturb the normal classes in the academy, no one will chase you away .”

"Brother, you." The scholar who spoke to Xuan Shijing before heard Xuan Shijing's words, half of them were surprised by what Xuan Shijing said, and usually surprised by Xuan Shijing's attitude.

Hearing the movement outside, the concierge of the academy also came out from the side door. Seeing Xuan Shijing standing outside the academy with his horse talking to these scholars outside the academy, he hurried out and took the reins from Xuan Shijing.

"Grandpa, you don't want to be an old man when you come here." The concierge cheerfully welcomed Xuan Shijing into the academy, and led the horse to the backyard by himself.

"What did the concierge call him just now? Grandpa?" Yang Gao looked at the scholar beside him and asked.

"Grandpa. Judging by his age, I am afraid that he is the prince Zhan Shixuan Shijing, who has just been enfeoffed as Duke of Jinyang County." The man said, "He is also the owner of the fiefdom of Dongshan County."

After knowing Xuan Shijing's identity, Yang Gaoling was on the spot. How did he talk to Xuan Shijing just now? Also, Xuan Shijing said that his character is not suitable for entering the court. Does that mean that he will stop Participate in Chunwei by yourself.

Yang Gao also thought too much, Xuan Shijing didn't care as much about him as he imagined, unless his height was as high as Xuan Shijing, he would appear in Xuan Shijing's eyes in the future, as for whether he would participate in the Spring Festival , Xuan Shijing won't care so much.

Whether this person can be selected into Chun Wei is still uncertain, but he has said a lot of big things first.

"Brother Xuan said what he said to Xuan Gong today, I am afraid that he has offended Xuan Gong before he became an official." The scholar said: "It's just that I think Xuan Gong has extraordinary bearing, and such trivial matters will not be with my brother." It's just Xuan Gong's words, brother, it's better to do it yourself."

After finishing speaking, the scholar cupped his hands to Yang Gao: "Let's go, if we wait here today, there will be no results." Then he left the gate of Mingde Academy with his two servants.

After Xuan Shijing entered the academy, instead of going to the academy to attend lectures, she came to the study of the academy and met Gao Shilian in the study.

Seeing Xuan Shijing coming in, Gao Shilian said with a smile, "Why didn't Shijing go to school today?"

"Students just now saw many scholars at the gate of the academy. I heard from people in Zhuangzi that these people would wander around the gate of the academy every day in the afternoon before yesterday, but I met them today."

When Xuan Shijing came to the academy two days ago, he came immediately after eating. At that time, those scholars were still eating in a certain restaurant in the Zhuangzi Market Market, so Xuan Shijing naturally couldn't meet them.

"They are all scholars who will participate in the Spring Festival next year, so don't embarrass them Shijing." Gao Shilian warned.

"Of course I know this. I just exchanged a few words with them at the door just now, but I found that the scholars who participated in the spring are also mixed." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"Why, have you discovered someone who is just pretending to be someone?" Gao Shilian asked.

Xuan Shijing shook his head: "That's not true. The students don't know what their literary talents are like, but we can see some clues from their words and deeds."
