Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 452 Lu Jiuyuan Comes

"Good idea." Qi Siyu patted the table, "Just do it like this."

The reason why he invited the case chiefs of various prefectures and counties to participate in his poetry meeting before the court examination was because he was really good at poetry, and so far he has not met anyone who can compare with him in poetry. .

Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan had shrunk their heads before the college examination, which shows that they are completely incompetent in poetry.That being the case, don't blame him for being ruthless and trampled them down.

Just because he didn't get the case in the court, the villain in the government school was gossiping behind his back.If he overwhelmed Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan in the poetry and literature meetings, wouldn't he slap those villains in the face?

Thinking of the embarrassment of Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan trampled under his feet, and the ugly faces of those villains, Qi Siyu couldn't help laughing.

"After the poetry meeting, let's hold another literary meeting. I must let them know that the reason why I failed to get the case is all because Zhao Liang wanted to avoid suspicion. Their top three were all given by me. For them." He waved his hand very proudly.

Although the test papers of the top three candidates were posted at the gate of the Gong Yuan, Qi Siyu didn't feel that Du Jinning's two articles and poems were well written.The problem of ignorance of literati has been perfectly interpreted in him.

Du Zheyan was not as optimistic as Qi Siyu.Although he came up with the idea, he only mentioned the Poetry Club, but not the Literature Club.Du Jinning's two articles were agreed upon by Qi Yuandao.Qi Siyu is so arrogant, if the slap in the face fails and he is slapped, the first person to be used as a punching bag must be himself.

You have to think of a perfect way.

It would not work for Qi Yuandao to help write two articles. Given Qi Yuandao's emphasis on reputation, he would not help Qi Siyu do this, so he had to find another way.

Suddenly he clapped his hands: yes.

"What's wrong?" Qi Siyu asked curiously seeing him like this.

"Don't Mr. Zhou and Mr. Yu go to your house all the time? Then let them debate with Du Jinning at the literary meeting. That kid has never been through such a battle, so he will definitely admit it on the spot. Haha."

Du Zheyan wanted to praise his wit.

He said enthusiastically, "I'm going to write a post, let's hold a poetry meeting first."

The Poetry Society is the safest, with the name of Qi Siyu's school's number one talented person, it is safe to crush Du Jinning.

At this time, Tang Zhao, the professor of the government school, looked at the three people in front of him, his face full of embarrassment.

"If Professor Tang is in trouble, it's not hard for us to ask for it. We can change to Nanlu Academy to teach." The leader said humanely.

If Du Jinning were here, he would definitely be able to recognize who these three people were.The person who spoke was Lu Jiuyuan, and those standing behind him were Shi Xiu and Peng Shicheng.

"No embarrassment, no embarrassment." Tang Zhao said quickly.

Just kidding, the three in front of me are Jinshi, and they are more famous than him, a professor of the government, otherwise they would not be invited by Zhao Liangxiang to be the examiners.If he kicked these three out and let them go to Nanlu Academy, Zhao Liang would probably have his heart eaten alive if he found out.

Even for a case like Du Jinning, they have to compete with Nanlu Academy, let alone the three university scholars.

only……

Thinking that the three instructors in the academy were full, he felt embarrassed for a while.

For government schools, the court has regulations, one professor and three instructors, all of whom are paid by the court.The number of Mr. is not limited.

But the knowledge and prestige of the three of Lu Jiuyuan are not inferior to him, and they are even better than him. It is aggrieved enough for Lu Jiuyuan and the others to be subordinated to discipline. He can't let them be teachers, can he?But those three instructors are also from the same Jinshi background, and there is nothing wrong with them, and the status of instructors cannot be removed casually. They need to be reported to the Admiral's Academic Affairs Department. of.

Looking at the three people in front of him, Tang Zhao made up his mind: Don't worry about it, the most important thing is not to offend others.Settle these three people down first, and then write a letter to Mr. Zhao to explain the situation.If Mr. Zhao gave an instruction to ask those three to give way to these three, he wouldn't have to offend anyone here.

Thinking of this, he asked with a smile: "Do the three have a place to live? Are you here with your family? Does the academy need to do anything for the three gentlemen?"

Lu Jiuyuan shook his head, and said on behalf of the three of them: "We brought our family members here, so Professor Tang doesn't need to worry about where we live. We will rent a house outside. But when do you think we will start classes?"

"The three of you have come from afar, and you need to rent a house and settle down your family members. There is no rush to teach. How about this, I will give you a month's rest, and you will teach in the academy after a month. What do you think?" The most important thing is to arrive It's time to know how to place these three.

Lu Jiuyuan shook his head: "No, no, family members will take care of the matter of settling down. We are here to teach. How can we delay so long for settling down? If it's convenient, we can come to class tomorrow."

"This, this..." Tang Zhao had no choice but to explain it plainly, "It is the great fortune of our Guangxi students that the three gentlemen have taken a fancy to our small temple. It's just the previous instruction, I have to find a way to get them Only when it is settled, can we make room for the three gentlemen. So please give me some time for this matter, and I will notify the three gentlemen after the arrangements are made."

Only then did Lu Jiuyuan realize that Tang Zhao was in trouble because of this, so he waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be in trouble for this. We are not here for that little salary, we plan to be an ordinary gentleman. Anyway, the teaching form of the government school is flexible, You just need to arrange a time for us to teach and give lectures. As for the monthly salary, it is waived, we don’t want it, and there is no need for teaching or anything.”

"This..." Tang Zhao didn't understand.The three of them traveled thousands of miles to come here from a prosperous and prosperous place, and they were eager to come to the government school to teach, but they didn't need the status and salary of the government school. Why?
At first he thought that the three of them had offended someone in Hunan Province, so he came here to seek a job.But now it doesn't look like it.

Fortunately, the future is long, as long as they stay here, they will find out why they came sooner or later. Tang Zhao is not in a hurry, let alone inquire.

Of course, he wouldn't really let these three people work for nothing, so he made up his mind to write to Zhao Liang immediately to say this.

However, he couldn't boast if things were not done, so he smiled and said, "In that case, the three of you can start classes at any time. I will ask someone to give the three gentlemen a class schedule, and the gentlemen can arrange according to the class schedule." My own teaching time and form. I will also have people promote it to the three gentlemen in the academy."

The three of Lu Jiuyuan were overjoyed, and they cupped their hands in thanks and said, "Professor Tang is here."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Tang Zhao sent them away with a strange expression.

He had just returned to the house and before he sat down, Zhai Fu sent an invitation card.Tang Zhao opened it and saw that it was a poetry meeting organized by students from prefecture schools, and the advocate was obviously Qi Siyu.

Tang Zhao shook his head and put the post aside.

It seems that the kid is still unwilling to stop tossing.

He didn't have much affection for Qi Siyu.Although the poems are well done, he is not down-to-earth enough.Although it is said that literati have a good reputation, it is understandable that many great Confucian scholars pursue literary fame and talent.But pursuing too much is losing the heart of learning.In Tang Zhao's view, this is putting the cart before the horse.

However, Qi Siyu is the grandson of Qi Yuandao, and Qi Yuandao is the signature of Gui Provincial School.Gui Province, which has a poor academic style, can attract some famous scholars to give lectures, and some talented people come here to study here, all thanks to Qi Yuandao.In addition, Qi Siyu's move also played a certain role in the prosperity of the school's literary style. Not only would Tang Zhao not stop it, but he would encourage him from time to time.Now that Qi Siyu is holding a poetry meeting, although he is suspected of targeting Du Jinning, it is still difficult for him to stop this kind of aboveboard targeting.

Where there is competition, there will be progress.

Now that Qi Siyu has posted a post asking him to be a judge, as a professor of the government school, he must go, and it can also prevent conflicts between the two sides.

He asked Zhaifu who sent the post: "Who else did Qi Siyu invite to judge?"

"Mr. Wang Changzhi and Wu Qin."

Tang Zhao suddenly felt surprised: "Why did you invite these two gentlemen when many gentlemen were not invited?"

Both of them are juren, and they are not famous for their poems.Wang Changzhi is a disciple of Qi Yuandao, so he is naturally a teacher in learning, and he is not good at poetry; Wu Qin must have attainments in calligraphy.

But think about it, Wu Qin is also very close to Qi Yuandao. Although he didn't worship Qi Yuandao as his teacher, he insisted on treating him as a teacher, and ran to Qi's house diligently every year and festival. Tang Zhao understood what happened. It's over.

He sneered and didn't speak again.

Tang Zhao received the invitation here, and Du Jinning and others naturally also received it.

Liang Xiankuan and Fang Shaohua came to her, held up invitation cards and asked, "Shall we go?"

Qi Muyuan was also stepping into the door at this time, and looked at Du Jinning upon hearing this.

"Go, why don't you go?" Du Jinning said, "I didn't go last time, if I don't go this time, wouldn't it be in Qi Siyu's arms? He is worried that he has no reason to tarnish our reputation."

"But..." Liang Xiankuan frowned, hesitant to speak.

Du Jinning is extremely intelligent and knowledgeable, but he has two shortcomings, one is calligraphy and the other is poetry.

After almost three years of diligent practice, calligraphy is already in good shape, at least it won't let the examiner pick out thorns during the exam.

Poetry is different.Having been classmates for more than two years, Liang Xiankuan couldn't understand Du Jinning's poems very well.She seems to have no talent for poetry.

but……

Thinking of the poem written by Du Jinning during the college exam, Liang Xiankuan was about to ask, when Qi Muyuan said: "Did you get that poem in your college exam by accident, or did you hide it?"

"Haha." Du Jinning laughed dryly, "I got it by chance. At that time, I was so blessed that I had a flash of inspiration, so I wrote such a poem. Now I can't guarantee that I can write the same good poems."

Liang Xiankuan sighed, but felt much more at ease in his heart.There's always one thing this guy isn't good at.If they are good at everything, and everything is much better than them, they don't have to live.

　Arrive here at noon, there will be another wave at six in the evening
