Chapter 113 Revisiting County Magistrate Gao

At noon the next day, Fan Ning, wearing a square hat with a hard horn on his head and a dark coat with a green skirt, came to the county government office.

In the two months since Magistrate Gao took power, Wu County has undergone considerable changes.

The most obvious is the improvement of law and order. Lu Yougen led the archers to arrest a large number of ruffians and scold them publicly on the streets. Every day at noon, ruffians were beaten until they cried.

After nearly a month of rectification, the poor law and order that has been criticized for many years has been rapidly improved.

The eyes of the people are sharp, but the same head is under the jurisdiction of two county magistrates, but their behavior is completely different.

It is enough to show that the current county magistrate is far more concerned about the suffering of the people than his predecessor.

The obvious improvement in law and order quickly won Gao Fei's reputation among the people.

But at the same time, more and more people filed complaints, making Gao Fei very busy every day.

When Fan Ning arrived, Gao Fei had finished a trial and was resting in the back hall.

Gao Fei heard that Fan Ning asked to see him, so he hurriedly asked to bring him in.

Fan Ning walked into the back hall, bowed and saluted, "Student Fan Ning sees the county lord!"

Gao Fei was grateful to this young man from the bottom of his heart, if he hadn't strongly recommended Lu Yougen to himself two months ago.

If he hadn't told himself the clues of the county school, which made him catch the county magistrate, how could he have lived so comfortably in the past two months.

He must still be dawdling in depression while being held in power.

Although Zhu Yuanfu told himself that he didn't need to be too polite to Fan Ning, Gao Fei still wanted to find a chance to thank him well.

Gao Fei asked Fan Ning to sit down, and asked with a smile: "Fan Shaolang, we haven't seen each other for a long time, are you busy with your studies recently?"

"Fortunately, I haven't been very busy recently. It may be that the county school has to recruit new students. An important exam that was originally planned was temporarily cancelled. All the students are very happy."

Fan Ning tentatively asked again: "Does Magistrate Gao know about the Supplementary Examination for the County School?"

Gao Fei nodded, "Two days ago, Zhang Jiaoyu came to see me and talked to me about the supplementary examination of the county school."

Although Gao Fei didn't say what Zhang Ruoying asked him for, Fan Ning still guessed that it must be for the sake of the topic.

For four consecutive years, the poem questions for the entrance examination were all written by the former county magistrate, Li Yunlai. If this practice is abolished by the new county magistrate, once the new county magistrate finds out about it, he will offend others.

Besides, asking the county magistrate to come up with a question is also to make the county magistrate pay more attention to county studies. If it becomes a tradition, it will only benefit the development of county studies.

Fan Ning thought for a while and said, "I have two cousins ​​who are preparing to take the county school supplementary exam. I have been helping them with tutoring for the past two days. Can the county magistrate comment on their poems?"

Fan Ning handed Gao Fei a few poems written by Lin Hong and Dong Kun.

Gao Fei laughed, "Okay! Let me take a look."

Gao Fei took the poem manuscript, looked at it briefly and smiled and said, "It's not bad, the idea is relatively new, the description of the spring rain is also in place, and it also incorporates my own emotions. Although it is a little childish, it is still an above-average work."

Fan Ning was not worried about the poems written by Lin Hong and Dong Kun, and Lu Youwei was not bad either. He was most worried about Ming Ren, Ming Li and Li Dashou, whose foundations were relatively weak.

Fan Ning took out his poems to ask for advice, but he just wanted to cut into the topic. He smiled and asked, "Can the students also learn the poems of the county lord?"

Gao Fei felt a little strange, how could Fan Ning find himself talking about poetry?It is the right way to ask the great Confucians of the county school for advice. Could it be that this little slicker has some intentions?
After several conversations, Gao Fei understood Fan Ning quite well. This kid would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so he must have a purpose to find him.

Gao Fei thought about it, could it be that he was doing it for the exam questions?

Two days ago, Zhang Ruoying, the county magistrate, found him and asked him to write a poem, and said that the former county magistrate had been doing it for four consecutive years.

Gao Fei readily asked a question, which he no longer cared about, but when Fan Ning came to talk about poetry, Gao Fei suddenly remembered this matter again.

Gao Fei couldn't help laughing, and he tentatively said: "I haven't written poetry for a long time. A few days ago, Zhang Jiaoyu from your county school also came to ask me to write poetry, but I declined at that time."

After finishing speaking, he stared at Fan Ning with piercing eyes. Sure enough, Fan Ning's eyes showed a look of extreme disappointment, and his expression became a little depressed.

Gao Fei immediately understood that this kid was here to ask himself the test questions.

But what surprised Gao Fei was that Zhang Ruoying said that this matter was a secret of the county school and should not be announced to the outside world, so how did Fan Ning know that he had written a poem for the exam?
Gao Fei smiled at Fan Ning, "Although I really wanted to decline, but under Zhang Jiaoyu's repeated request, I had no choice but to agree."

Fan Ning was taken aback. He suddenly realized that he had been fooled. Is magistrate Gao trying to test himself?He had obviously guessed his purpose.

His face was a little embarrassed, he laughed and asked, "I wonder what aspect of poetry the county lord is interested in recently?"

This is tantamount to reaching out for a question directly, so tell me the question quickly!

Gao Fei has never been an old-fashioned person. With Fan Ning's great help to him, it is not impossible to give Fan Ning a hint, but Gao Fei really wants to know, how did Fan Ning know about the question he made?

"Tell me first, how do you know what Zhang Jiaoyu asked me to do?"

Fan Ning scratched his head, and had to answer truthfully: "The poems in the county examination for the previous four years were all written by Jia Chaochang, and Jia Chaochang happened to be the father-in-law of County Magistrate Li, so I deduced that Zhang Jiaoyu will definitely come to you soon .”

Only then did Gao Fei suddenly realize that he thought it was someone who leaked it to Fan Ning, but he deduced it himself. He deserves to be the county official!Really smart.

Gao Fei walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, turned to Fan Ning and said, "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. The county has been thinking about various activities of the Dragon Boat Festival recently. Things are quite busy, so I won't be with you today. Let's talk in detail next time!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Fei chuckled, turned around and left.

Fan Ning laughed knowingly, "Dragon Boat Festival", this exam topic is more interesting!
. . . . . . . . . .
"Everyone listen to me!"

Fan Ning waved his hand to silence the six excited juniors.

"The main point of the poem about the Dragon Boat Festival is to worship Qu Yuan, which should be the soul of the whole poem. In addition, it is best not to directly mention the word "Dragon Boat Festival" in the whole poem, which is inferior.

It is best to use something unique to the Dragon Boat Festival instead, such as calamus, jade rice dumplings, or Duanyang, Wuri, etc. In addition, it is best not to mention Qu Yuan directly, it would be better to use Miluo as an allusion.

"What if you really can't write?" Fan Ningmingren raised his hand and asked.

"Poetry writing is our weakness!" Ming Li also added.

Fan Ning was really speechless. The arguments written by these two guys were a mess, and he had to write one for them each. Now he can’t write poems.
Fan Ning ignored them. He clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Everyone, write now. A good poem cannot be written at once, but needs to be revised and deliberated over and over again. I have told you the title, and I hope everyone can get it." Write poems that satisfy me."

Everyone took out their pens and papers and began to write their own poems. Fan Ning walked aside, watching the juniors thinking hard.

'Every festive season is more passionate, and the leaves of Miluo River are new. '

This is the beginning of Lu Youwei's writing. Fan Ning reminded him with a smile: "The first sentence is good, and the second sentence should be considered again. If you have Miluo, don't write Ai Ye again. For example, you can change it to "Pujiu, an old shop in the mountain village, new ’, implying the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival.”

Lu Youwei quickly wrote down these two lines of poems, Fan Ning walked to Ming Ren and stopped, tilting his head to look at it.

"This sentence 'Miluo has nowhere to hang heroic spirits' is not bad!"

He pointed to one of the sentences on Mingren's paper, "It can be used as the second sentence, and the first sentence can be written about the weather, such as wind and rain, so that the 'Miluo has nowhere to hang the hero' is established, and the words With puns, such as "Duanyang wind and rain worrying about Jiangmin", the next sentence is "Miluo has nowhere to hang heroic spirits", and then think for yourself."

Mingren smiled and said, "I wrote this myself!"

Fan Ning snorted, "If you have the ability, write it yourself!"

Fan Ning walked a few more steps, stopped beside Mingli, glanced at him, and angrily tapped Mingli on the head, "'Miluo Nowhere to Hang Heroes' has been written by Mingren, Change it to another one!"

Ming Li held his head and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Obviously I came up with it, why should I change it?"
