marquis of jingan

Chapter 97 Are you a gentleman?
The reason why Shen Yi made this joke was, on the one hand, it was a subconscious rhetoric, and on the other hand, it was to change the subject in order to turn back the customer.

He didn't want to continue entangled in whether to apprentice or not.

Sure enough, girls in this era are thin-skinned. After hearing Shen Yi's words, Miss Lu blushed immediately. It happened that she was holding a feather duster in her hand. Out of embarrassment, she directly hit Shen Yi's arm with the feather duster .

"Floating waves!"

After she said this, she directly closed the door of the study, ignoring Shen Yi.

Shen Qilang suffered from pain, clutched his arm, and left resentfully.

Thick-skinned people sometimes get beaten. There is no way to do it. Since I made a joke, I deserve the beating.

Originally, Shen Yi came to Master Lu's place to show Master Lu the test papers of his house, whether he could pass or not, so that he could prepare mentally in advance.

But Mr. Lu was invited by the Fu Zun to mark the papers, so it is not good to show him again.

Because the examination papers are generally not finished in a day or two, and once you become a paper examiner, you cannot leave the venue until the examination papers are finished.

For example, the chief examiners of such big exams as the township examination and general examination are appointed by the emperor himself, and the marking officers are usually appointed by the Ministry of Rites or recommended by the chief examiner, but the children's examination is relatively less strict. The government can invite celebrities and Confucian scholars to come over to act as examiners.

As for Master Lu's qualifications, the papers for the government examination are more than enough.

In fact, in the last two provincial examinations, the chief examiners also wrote to Jiangdu, asking Mr. Lu to be the grader, but Mr. Lu didn't want to leave Jiangdu, so he didn't go.

As for why Chen Yu invited Lu Anshi, it was probably because Master Lu had feelings for his hometown.

If I have feelings for my hometown, I hope that the parents will have more talents, and I hope that the exams in my hometown will be fair and just. With him, a local "celebrity", even Chen Yu, who is the examiner, has to be fair when grading papers.

As for why Chen Yu invited Lu Anshi, it was probably because he wanted to show his favor to Ganquan Academy.

Not being able to see Mrs. Lu, and being beaten by Miss Lu again, Shen Yi could only go back to his school dormitory.

In the school dormitory, the younger brother Shen Heng was reading a book. After seeing Shen Yi came back, Shen Heng was also quite happy. He pulled Shen Yi's sleeve and asked Shen Yi to write out the questions of the government examination.

After Shen Yi wrote out the exam questions for him, Shen Heng took a few pieces of paper, lay down on the table and began to work on the questions seriously.

But Shen Yi didn't have this kind of energy anymore. He half-lyed on his bed, looked at Shen Heng who was lying on the table writing, and couldn't help laughing: "Look at your energy, it won't take long for our Shen family to I'm going to be a Jinshi."

Shen Heng stopped writing, raised his head and smiled at Shen Yi: "Brother, you are so lucky to take the imperial examination, our Shen family will have two Jinshi."

…………

For the next few days, Master Lu never came back, and Mr. Shen also had nothing to do. Apart from discussing academic issues with his younger brother, who was later a teacher, he just wandered around in the academy.

It is worth mentioning that during the past few days, Shen Yi once went in to look for Miss Lu, but was blocked by Miss Lu's maid, Lian'er, and was unable to see Miss Lu's beauty.

On the morning of the fourth day, Master Lu finally returned to the academy from the government office.

Only then did Shen Yi regain his energy, and waited at the gate of the academy to greet him along with a few gentlemen from the academy.

I haven't seen him for a while. Except for a slightly tired face, Master Lu is no different. Surrounded by all the teachers and students, he walked into the academy, looked around, and asked, "This year's government exam. Candidates, how many have returned?"

As the "Executive Vice President", Mr. Xie stood beside Lu Anshi and said, "After the exam, I gave them ten days off. Most of them haven't come back yet, but I know you After returning from the city, they should all be back in the afternoon."

Most of the students in the academy already knew about Master Lu going to the city to serve as a test grader, and when they knew that Master Lu had returned from the city, they would definitely rush back to the academy immediately.

The head of the mountain came back, explaining that the government examination papers were over. Although the test papers were vague, it was not a problem for these students to silently read their own papers. Naturally, they could ask themselves if they got the mark.

When Mr. Xie said this, he suddenly caught sight of Shen Yi in the crowd, and he quickly continued: "It's Shen Yi and Shen Qilang who came back to the academy a few days ago and have been staying in the academy."

Mr. Lu saw Shen Yi in the crowd early in the morning. What he was waiting for was Mr. Xie's words. After hearing these words, Mr. Lu let out a "huh" and said slowly: "Then everyone should leave, Shen Yi Come with me to the study."

Young Master Shen's eyes lit up, he quickly said yes, followed Master Lu, and entered his study.

What is a relationship, this is a relationship!

It is very important to have a good relationship with the leader!
After entering the study, Shen Yi helped Lu Anshi sit down first, then poured tea for Lu Anshi, and said with a smile: "Teacher, these days have been hard."

"It's just reading a few exam papers, it's not hard."

After bowing his head and taking a sip of the tea, Master Lu slowly closed his eyes to rest his mind.

"Okay, don't worry about me, go and silence your papers. I don't have much time for the teacher. I guess someone will come to disturb the teacher after a while."

The academy is well-informed, and it won't be long before the news of Master Lu's return to the academy will spread. Those candidates of Ganquan Academy, even those who are not candidates of Ganquan Academy, will probably come here to ask about the exam results.

Shen Yi took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve, put them in front of Lu Anshi, and said softly: "Don't dare to occupy the teacher's time, the disciple has already been silent in advance."

Only then did Master Lu open his eyes, reached out to take the few pieces of paper, and then looked up at Shen Yi.

"You have a delicate mind and thought of this in advance."

Shen Yi chuckled, but didn't answer.

Master Lu took the exam papers and read them carefully from the first one. After reading all of them, he frowned slightly, reached out and knocked on the table, signaling Shen Yi to grind the ink.

Shen Yi nodded quickly, dripped water on the inkstone, and rubbed the ink for the old man. After a while, the ink was finished, and Master Lu picked up the pen and began to revise the examination paper written by Shen Yimo.

About half an hour later, Master Lu returned the test paper to Shen Yi, then closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Shen Yi read the revised papers, then carefully glanced at Master Lu, and asked, "Teacher, have you seen the students' exam papers in the government office?"

"seen."

Master Lu opened his eyes, looked at Shen Yi, and snorted, "This year's policy theory, I don't know whether Chen Fengde intentionally or unintentionally, took the topics that he wrote back then, and made four or five of the ten papers for this year's government examination candidates. It is different from the article he wrote back then, but similar in every way.”

"Later, Chen Fengde found your paper in the test paper, and he even showed it to the teacher, what did he say..."

Lu Anshi paused for a moment, and continued: "What do you mean that gentlemen are harmonious but different? If you see me in this article and don't learn from me, you are a gentleman."

Master looked at Shen Yi and said calmly: "Qilang, are you a gentleman?"

Shen Yi thought for a while, then shook his head slightly: "Teacher, there is no difference between the students and those Jing Cong's generation, the difference is that they think a little shallower, while the students think a little deeper."
