The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1044 Talk

"My lord, do you want to ask the officials who were involved in the shipwreck not long ago?" As soon as the boss opened the door, she felt much more relaxed. She slightly turned her head and looked at the guards on both sides, then looked mockingly at Sheng Yuan, who was seated above her. "What do you want? Is this how I answer?"

Sheng Yuan waved her hand, and the attendant who had been holding her shoulders released his hand, but the two refused to look away, ready to control her at any time.

"Do you need a seat?" Sheng Yuan raised her chin and asked someone to take the sixth and the two hundred and five down together, leaving the boss to talk.

"Of course." The boss rubbed his shoulders and was not polite about the preferential treatment.

Sheng Yuan didn't show any signs of confusion. He nodded to Xiaoyao on the side and asked her to ask someone to move the armchair over.

The boss sat on it and asked Sheng Yuan for food and drink.

Sheng Yuan was self-righteous, and after letting people arrange it, she smiled softly and said: "I hope you won't kill yourself after eating and drinking."

"Sir, you are overthinking. The evil people in this world are still living well. Even though I am an ant, I should try my best to survive. I can't leave this world to the bad people!" The boss said, but his eyes were locked tightly. On the table brought by the maids and the dishes gradually filling the table, "What's more, only by being alive can you have infinite possibilities... Just like half an hour ago, I never imagined that I would be able to eat such delicious food."

"Well, that makes sense." Sheng Yuan didn't care whether what she said was true or not, he just nodded in agreement, and then looked at the female leader in silence.

This girl's appearance showed a slight vicissitude. She seemed to be nearly thirty years old, her face was full of fatigue, and only her eyes showed a deep and determined light.

Well, she is a girl who is not pretty in appearance, but has a very special temperament.

"I said, female boss, we only met each other after half a cup of tea. I still don't know what to call you? Aren't you going to introduce yourself?" Sheng Yuan waited patiently for her to finish eating. Then he asked.

The boss wiped his lips with a handkerchief, threw it aside and sneered: "I don't change my name when I stand, I don't change my surname when I sit down. My surname is Chu, and I know it with just one name. If you know it, you know it, and if you don't know it, you don't know it."

"Oh, I know everything I know without telling me, and I know everything I can tell you." Sheng Yuan nodded as if he was suddenly enlightened.

"Hmph, you scholars are all like lotus pods!" Chu Zhi snorted boredly, lowering his head and playing with the tea bowl in his hand.

"I heard Miss Chu's words and demeanor sound like someone who has read some books..."

"No! Sir, please don't flatter me!" Before Sheng Yuan could finish speaking, Chu Zhi waved his hand as if he was afraid that she would say it, "Zhi Shu Dali will never be with me in this life!"

"Miss Chu is a little stressed. Not all scholars are well-educated and sensible." Sheng Yuan was not angry and spoke calmly.

Chu Zhi actually agreed with this: "That's right, those who are corrupt, pervert the law, and do not behave well are not all scholars!"

"..." Sheng Yuan couldn't help but feel moved when she saw her pointing at the officials. She was no longer in a hurry to ask about Yang Wennong's news. Instead, she asked her casually, "The girl seems to be a transparent person, and she is not bad at writing." You are a knowledgeable person, and you are in a good time. Even if you don’t have the opportunity to take the scientific examination, there are still selections for female officials in various places, why don’t you give it a try?”

"Scientific examination? Selection?" Chu Zhi looked at Sheng Yuan in surprise as if he had heard a big joke, "Are you asking, 'Why not eat minced meat?'" "Miss Chu's words confused me. , according to the regulations of this dynasty, even if a girl is born in poverty and has no resources to study and study, she can still be taught free of charge by social studies from various places. Even if she no longer continues her studies, she will still have the skills to establish herself after graduating from social studies..."

"Sir, you are so naive!" Chu Zhi still couldn't help but laughed out loud after Sheng Yuan finished speaking.

"I am naive? I don't know if the girl can solve the problem. I am willing to listen attentively." Sheng Yuan felt that there might be something inside, so she couldn't help but ask.

"All ears? Hey, what can you do after listening to this? I still understand the principle of officials protecting each other." Chu Zhi showed little interest in talking about this matter. He seemed to have already recognized the reality and was too lazy to even struggle.

"If Miss Chu had accepted her fate earlier, I'm afraid she wouldn't have appeared here." Seeing that she was unmoved, Sheng Yuan did not force her, and she continued chatting, "It's still early now, and everyone is idle. It’s better for the girl to talk more to pass the time.”

"...Same." Chu Zhi thought that with the inhumane style of these officials, he and his brothers and sisters might not be able to get out of here. Instead of silently letting them complain, why not say something!

She didn’t expect the other party’s conscience to find out. Without pressure and coercion, how could these officials try to pull her conscience?

"Your Excellency just asked me why I didn't take the scientific examination to become an official even though my qualifications are acceptable?" Chu Zhi couldn't help laughing again when he mentioned the scientific examination.

“If I were born into a powerful family and had the Great Way to Heaven before me when I was born, I would definitely join the scientific examination ranks without any hesitation!

If I had the background, even if I could be an official even if I was as famous as Sun Shan, I would definitely study hard and work hard!

If I have connections and can enter and exit any official school at will with my identity plate, I will definitely not miss any opportunity to take the exam! "

The more Chu Zhi spoke, the flickering fire in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Ha, it's a pity that I don't have any of these! The powerful people who have taken advantage of them, after occupying high positions, laugh at us for not being able to make progress, lament that we are stupid and ignorant, despise us for not knowing what to do, but never think much about it. Why are there such natural barriers between us? Instead, they are always admonishing us."

When Sheng Yuan heard the last part, it was clear that he was talking about her, and she couldn't help but wonder, this person's anger was unusual!

"With all due respect, I have not seen much, but when I was in Kyoto, I never paid less attention to the women's imperial examination. Only around Kyoto, there are girls from ordinary people's families who are also on the list... If your educational resources are different from each other, , I have never denied this, otherwise the girls who passed the exam in the first two sessions would not have all come from official families. However, since the opening of the subject, the imperial court has never given up on ordinary people, and has done its best to give ordinary girls the opportunity to study and take exams. of."

"Really? That's because I'm ignorant!" Chu Zhi obviously didn't believe it and snorted angrily, seeming to accommodate Sheng Yuan and not refute her.

But Sheng Yuan was not willing to take advantage of this: "Miss Chu, if you have anything to say, you can say it. I am willing to hear the details."

Chu Zhi's temper also rose. Seeing Sheng Yuan repeatedly asking her to say something, he immediately patted the table: "Although my Chu Zhi has mediocre qualifications, my sister Chu Yan is extremely talented in reading. She even teaches All the gentlemen think she can become the first female Jinshi in South China!”

Saying this, a hint of pride appeared on Chu Zhi's face.

Her words were so firm that Sheng Yuan instantly thought of the rules of the story.

It seems that Chu Zhi's sister probably failed to take the exam.
