Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 457 I Have Another Idea
Because Wang Changzhi and Wu Qin sat at the bottom of the table, they could see whether the gentlemen in front circled or wrote any comments.

I don't know whether it is to save face for Qi Yuandao and Fu, or Qi Siyu's poem is really well written, all the people in front of him circled his manuscript.But besides him who got the full lap, Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan also got the full lap.The difference is that on Du Jinning's manuscript, every gentleman has written comments, so that the blank spaces of the manuscript are densely filled with words, which is very different from Qi Siyu's, which only has a few comments.

Considering that Du Jinning handed in the papers earlier than Qi Siyu, Wang Changzhi and Wu Qin knew who the No. 1 in today's poetry meeting was, even if they hadn't finished reviewing the students' poems.

In good conscience, they also think Du Jinning's poem is good.

So, do you want to write a comment on his manuscript?

These poems will be posted on the wall outside the auditorium after the poetry meeting is over, for all the students of the prefectural school to study and appreciate.If the previous professors and gentlemen all praised the poem greatly, they, the two Juren gentlemen, would not say a word; their performance in Qi Siyu's manuscript was completely opposite, and they praised Qi Siyu's good writing.

The teachers and students of the whole government school are not without eyes, let alone lack of judgment. Everyone can see whether the poems of Du Jinning and Qi Siyu are better or lower.

Didn't they do this to show the teachers and students in the whole school that they wanted to curry favor with the Qi family?As a scholar, the teacher of the government school, behaved too obsessively, and they were shameless. Would they have the face to sit on the podium and teach the students in the future?
Wang Changzhi is old and mature in his work.He thought for a long time with Du Jinning's manuscript, and wrote a comment on it; while the comments written on Qi Siyu's manuscript were slightly better than Du Jinning's, but the difference was not that great.

Seeing this, Wu Qin naturally followed suit and wrote similar comments.

Here Tang Zhao doesn't know the entanglement between Wang Changzhi and Wu Qin who are sitting at the end.Seeing that Qi Muyuan's poem was well written, he handed it to Lu Jiuyuan with a smile on his face.

Alas, both Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan are rare talents, no wonder they got first and No.2 in the college examination.Fortunately, I listened to Mr. Zhao's words and personally invited them into the school.If they were allowed to go to Nanlu Academy, it is estimated that the professor himself would have done it too.

If it was fine before, isn't Lu Jiuyuan here now?If Lu Jiuyuan stayed here and never left, would Zhao Liang be willing to let him just be this gentleman?Then he would definitely take this opportunity to replace his incompetent professor and make room for Lu Jiuyuan.Compared with Lu Jiuyuan, I can't compare to anything else except taking the opportunity to occupy this position.

He glanced at Lu Jiuyuan and secretly made up his mind to do better so that Zhao Liang couldn't find an excuse to replace him.

Soon the incense burnt to the bottom, and Zhai Fu, who was watching the incense, issued a warning, and the students handed in their poems one after another.

Because there are not many students, the people on the stage are all experienced in grading papers, and the number of words in the poems is not too much. It doesn’t take much time to review a manuscript. After a while, the manuscript is reviewed, and Zhaifu also counts the results He took it out and handed it to Tang Zhao.

"This poetry meeting, No.1: Du Jinning; No.2: Qi Siyu; No.3: Qi Muyuan."

Hearing the ranking announced by Tang Zhao, the students below all looked at Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan.

Not all the top ten students in the college examination will come to the prefecture to study.For example, Zhou Zhi, because of his family's financial situation, his married wife and children, and his parents' age, he chose to go back to the county school instead of going to the government school.Because of these reasons, as well as the limited number of places, most of the students here are previous scholars, who have read a few years or even more than ten years more than Du Jinning and others. They are their predecessors. Among these people, although there is no junior Yuan, but if a brick falls from the wall, it can also hit a county case, government case, or court case.

So these people don't think Du Jinning is so great.When they met, they praised "Little Sanyuan", but they were still a little contemptuous in their hearts. After all, they read more books than Du Jinning on the way they lived. Or it could simply be as rumored outside, in order to avoid suspicion, Zhao Liang didn't let Qi Siyu win the court case, and let Du Jinning take advantage of it.

But in the meeting, everyone looked at Du Jinning completely differently.

Qi Siyu does have some problems, but it cannot be denied that he is indeed quite talented in poetry.At the beginning, he entered the government school as the head of the government case to study, but no one gossips in the government school, that's because Qi Siyu is famous in the city for his poetry.His so-called "famousness" was not boasted by himself, but by real comparisons at various poetry conferences.

In addition, in terms of articles, with Qi Yuandao's achievements in learning, even if Qi Siyu only repeats his grandfather's views in the article, it is still a speculative article, which is not comparable to those articles without his own views and soul. .

Therefore, his talent and learning are admired by most of the students in the government school.

This time, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Tang Zhao, Lu Jiuyuan and others' expressions were seen by everyone. Even if they haven't read Du Jinning's poems, they can imagine that his poems must be very good, and they can completely crush Qi Siyu.

It wasn't until this time that everyone began to look at Du Jinning seriously, thinking that he got the three dollars based on real skills, not just luck.

In the past, in order to flatter Qi Siyu, Du Zheyan might have made a fuss at the bottom, asking Tang Zhao to read Du Jinning's poems for everyone to hear.But this time he dared not make a sound at all.Because he has clearly realized that Du Jinning is not easy to mess with, let alone Qi Muyuan and others behind Du Jinning.

Du Zheyan originally followed Qi Siyu to get some talent and fame, and entered the government school with Qi Yuandao's recommendation.If he passed the exam this time as a scholar, it would be fine; but now that Qi Siyu has become a scholar, he is still a boy, and although he stayed here under the name of a former school student, he had to keep his tail between his legs. When he is old, he is afraid that others will think of him and use his identity as an argument.If he was kicked out of the government school, it would be really embarrassing and thrown to his grandma's house, and he wouldn't have to be a man in the city anymore.

So at this moment, he didn't dare to say anything, silently watched Qi Siyu's face change, and secretly gritted his teeth.

What's it like to be slapped in the face in the field you are best at?Qi Siyu will tell you that it was sore, bitter and painful, as well as irrepressible anger.

But this is not over yet, the most unbearable thing for him is that at the end of the poetry meeting, many of his former classmates and those who praised him greatly at the poetry meeting, after reading the posted poems, , They all started to introduce themselves to Du Jinning, and praised Du Jinning by the way.To put it simply, it is close to Du Jinning.On the contrary, very few people came to him to say compliments.

He was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he didn't care how many people talked to him, so he walked out without saying a word.

Du Zheyan quickly followed.

"Hey, what's wrong with Junior Brother Qi? We didn't offend him, did we?" The classmate who was a little embarrassed by his cold face said displeasedly.

Another classmate pouted towards Du Jinning: "Didn't you see that? The scenery used to belong to Junior Brother Qi, but now it belongs to someone else. Can he feel better?"

The classmate who was a bit overwhelmed came to a sudden, but he couldn't understand it even more: "Isn't this normal? There are people outside the world, and it's like this when you see someone stronger than yourself. Then should we live? "

"Can you compare with the pride of heaven? They are the kind of people who are raised high from birth. They have a smooth journey and have never suffered any setbacks. We have grown up rough, and we have nothing else to do. The most able to withstand a beating."

"Haha, you're right. Let's go, go back, if you have time to spare, you might as well read a few more pages and try to get admitted to Juren as soon as possible."

Besides, Qi Siyu didn't want to stay in the government school to see the faces of these people, and he didn't want to go home to be scolded by his grandfather, so he went straight to the street and walked aimlessly on the street.

Du Zheyan followed behind him, not daring to say a word.

Because he knows that pale comfort is the most useless, unless he can have some good suggestions, otherwise the endless useless words will only make Qi Siyu more irritable.

He looked at the shops on the street, and suddenly grabbed Qi Siyu's arm: "Brother Qi, I have a good idea."

Qi Siyu knew that he always had a lot of ghost ideas, and after hearing this, he became more energetic and asked, "What's your idea?"

Du Zheyan said: "You also know that because Boyue Teahouse's business is relatively booming, I opened two teahouses and invited people to write martial arts chapters."

Of course Qi Siyu knew about this.

Du's eldest family and the second room have been fighting openly and secretly for these years. Du Zheyan is still alive. Taking advantage of his father's going to Xingning County to be the master book and the second room has a relatively high voice in the Du family, he secretly moved some money out and put it away. These two teahouses were opened under his mother's name.He was also invited to sit in the teahouse when it opened, and he introduced the two scholars who wrote the story books.

So he said impatiently, "What do you want to say?"

"It was just a teahouse at first, and I didn't care too much. I let the steward take care of it. Unexpectedly, my housekeeper told me yesterday that he saw the former shopkeeper of Boyue Teahouse at Du Jinning's house. He sent someone to investigate After several days, I found out that the shopkeeper is now working as a butler at Du Jinning’s house, and Boyue Teahouse has a new shopkeeper. Do you think this is strange?”

Qi Siyu stopped, thought for a while, then turned to Du Zheyan and asked, "You mean, Du Jinning opened that Boyue Teahouse?"

Du Zheyan nodded: "Even if he didn't open it, I can't get away from him. I'm sending someone to the yamen to investigate, and I plan to tell you the result after the investigation."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go to the Yamen now." Qi Siyu waved his hand.
