dream of red mansion

Chapter 74 There is no absolute fairness

Watching Jia Qing exit the pavilion, Fang Shou, who hadn't spoken all this time, looked away, and made his first voice since Jia Qing came in: "It's really a phoenix chick!"

Although Fang Shou was sighing with emotion in a low voice, Wang Xianjue who was next to him still heard it.

"Oh, so it seems that Mr. Fang has taken a fancy to this child? Indeed, Wang has lived in his forties, but he has never seen such a well-founded schoolboy.

You two still don't know that the last time this son was able to escape from the gangsters, although it was related to Jiedu Envoy Wang's efforts to rescue him, the most important thing was that he relied on his own means to get the news out of the gangsters' heavy guards. Back to Ningguo Mansion, so Lord Wang can dispatch people to rescue him. "

Fang Shou didn't know much about this matter, and asked after hearing the words: "Master Wang is serious? Could you explain this matter in detail for me?"

Others in the pavilion also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear the self-help story of this rather magical child...

……

After Jia Qing came out of the pavilion, he walked down the yellow mud path, admiring the mid-spring scenery, while looking for traces of Hou Hu and the others.

"Hey, you guys are so leisurely, you actually caught fish here."

Finally, I found Hou Hu and the others in a low valley. They were fishing with fishing rods they didn't know where they came from.Hearing Jia Qing's voice, Hou Hu hurriedly made a silence gesture, and said in a low voice: "Don't shout! I heard that the Master Jijiu fed a lot of carp in this pond, and we are planning to fish two of them for tooth-making sacrifices." .”

Jia Qing glanced around and was speechless.Although there are only a few of them around the pond, there are people everywhere in the distance, where can they hide?Otherwise, I won't be able to find it myself.

"Aren't you afraid that Lord Jijiu will come and arrest you?"

Xie Guowei is not as stupid as Hou Hu, he said casually: "It's just a random poetry meeting, Lord Jijiu will never spoil the atmosphere of the poetry meeting for such a trivial matter. So, let's just quietly bring up two , it’s not a problem to bake and eat here.”

At this time Hou Hu added: "If you are afraid of Master Jijiu, don't come!"

Are you kidding me, you are not afraid of me?Even if I get caught, I am the youngest anyway, and you are the ones who will be punished, hehe.

So Jia Qing also walked over, and several people gathered together to study fishing.

After Jia Qing and the others caught two alive and kicking carp, Hou Hu's book boy also quietly came over from the small path, bringing a complete set of baking utensils and half a bucket of clean water...

Needless to say, Hou Hu must be a foodie, and he probably ordered the servant to bring in the fishing gear.

So everyone started to work, those who lit the fire, those who cleaned and cleaned, and there was a scene of spring outing.

After all, their movement still attracted others.

"Haha, Brother Xie, you guys have a good mood!"

A young man and two companions also came here along the ramp. The leader looked quite extraordinary and greeted Xie Guowei with a smile.

Xie Guowei, who was in a hurry to scale the fish, looked back when he saw the person coming, he quickly took the handkerchief next to him, wiped his hands, stood up and said, "It turned out to be Brother Zhang, I thought Brother Zhang would not come out." Participate in today's poetry meeting."

Seeing that Xie Guowei treated this person so seriously, Jia Qing thought to himself, "Could it be that this person is so powerful that even a son of a noble family like Xie Guowei should be treated seriously?"There are not many big families surnamed Zhang in Beijing, why hasn't he heard of this person?

Jia Qing looked at Hou Hu who was at the side, and Hou Hu also shook his head to express that he didn't know...

"Brother Xie is laughing at me. No matter how pedantic I am, I still know the art of civil and martial arts. In the eyes of Brother Xie, I have become a nerd who only knows how to read. But I heard that Brother Xie will also end this time. It's on the same stage as Brother Xie in Chunwei."

Xie Guowei said: "Brother Zhang praised it highly, how dare brother Yu dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with Brother Zhang?

This Xie Guowei is too modest, how can someone belittle himself and elevate others so much, seeing that Hou Hu is about to speak up to find a place for Xie Guowei.At this time, Qi Chengwu saw Jia Qing's puzzlement, leaned over and explained to them:

"You guys don't know this person, speaking of him, he is a legend in our Beijian..."

Seeing the astonishment in the eyes of the two of Jia Qing became more and more intense, Qi Chengwu stopped circling around and said, "His name is Zhang Ziwen, and his background is very ordinary. He is from an ordinary family in Beizhili. However, he is a Xie Yuan, who was in the last township examination!"

Oh, that's really awesome.Xie Yuan, that is a rare item that only comes out once every three years in a province!What's more, Xie Yuan is still in Beizhili, which can be called the most competitive place in the country.

"What's even more amazing is that after he got to know Yuan in Zhong, he actually gave up the huge temptation of fame and fortune like Lian Zhong San Yuan, and he gave up participating in the Spring Festival that year, which puzzled Master Jijiu and all the gentlemen in the prison.

I heard that Lord Jijiu specially found him for this purpose, and wanted to persuade him to cherish this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, his decision made everyone look sideways and admire him! "

Hou Hu is very flattering: "What did he say?"

"He said to Lord Jijiu: 'The students have done their best in this rural examination! I deeply feel that the students' intelligence is still hugely insufficient. If they end up competing with the heroes of the world at this time, the students feel that their cultivation is not enough. The final crown does not necessarily belong to the students.

However, the student comes from a poor family, and he is confident that his ambition is not weaker than others!All I hope for is the first name in the palace test!The only chance is to face the emperor face to face.

Although the name of Sanyuan can move the hearts of students, but if it is a fluke, it may become a lifelong regret for students! '

Do you think he is crazy?This master actually looked down on the second-class Jinshi who was beyond the first-class, let alone the third-class Jinshi.

However, I heard that Master Jijiu praised his choice very much and accepted him as a disciple.You must know that Master Jijiu never accepted disciples before, but he actually set a precedent for him. "

It seems that Zhang Ziwen's matter was really big news in the Imperial College at that time, even Qi Chengwu knew such details.

Jia Qing also understood Zhang Ziwen's decision very well.People from ordinary humble backgrounds like them, even if they were born as top-ranking Jinshi, they can only go to the Hanlin Academy for qualifications, and then wait until the Ministry of Officials arranges a gap.

And good gaps are naturally taken up by those who have "connections".And they can only go up from the local level to the level, or they will have the opportunity to enter the court again in the year of destiny...

However, the top three Jinshi and the No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua have the opportunity to meet the emperor alone.Second-class and third-class Jinshi generally only have the opportunity to meet the emperor during the palace examination, and have not yet had the opportunity to speak.

And even if the performance is correct, the emperor's treatment of the person he nominated as the number one scholar must be different.

To put it simply and directly, Zhang Ziwen went for the opportunity of winning the first prize and playing face-to-face with the emperor.In order to increase his confidence, he even did not hesitate to give up the huge temptation of fame and fortune such as Lianzhong Jieyuan, Huiyuan, and Number One Scholar, and he did not hesitate to wait another three years.Because, once you are admitted as a Jinshi, you can no longer take the imperial examination.

This decision is admirable!
But if it were Jia Qing, he definitely wouldn't choose this way!Jia Qing's goal is to become a Jinshi, whether it is a second-class or a third-class.

After all, he and Zhang Ziwen were not on the same starting line.The world is not absolutely fair!It can only be said that this peaceful world has given everyone a chance, but most people do not have the ability and endurance to grasp it.
