Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 589 Stunning
Seeing Guan Jiaze's back disappear at the door, Guan Lehe said, "Can I read Jinning's article just now?"

Feng Xuezheng handed him the article.

Guan Lehe read the article first, then looked up at Du Jinning with shock.

He knew that his disciple was amazingly talented, but he didn't expect to surprise him to this extent.

Except for him, no one knew that this article was conceived by Du Jinning in the short period of time just now because he found Feng Xuezheng's dislike.How meticulous and agile this child's mind is.It is not enough to have such thoughts, but also to have the talent to support him to write this article.

It's amazing.

Guan Lehe always thinks highly of himself, and few people can admire him.But now, he actually admired his 14-year-old disciple.

After being shocked, Guan Lehe carefully read the article twice before putting it on the table.

"Why, Du Jinning wrote such an article, are you surprised?" Feng Xuezheng initially suspected that Du Jinning's article had something to do with Guan Lehe, but now seeing Guan Lehe's shocked appearance, he gave up this idea.

When Guan Le and the trustee came to ask for a quota for Du Jinning, they said that Du Jinning was his student.

Naturally, he would not hide his emotions at this moment.He nodded and said with a wry smile: "Two years ago I came to Beijing to seek a job, and I separated from him. I usually communicate with each other by letter, but due to the distance and the inconvenience of communication, I don't know how much his knowledge has improved. At first glance just now, I realized that this child has made great progress."

Feng Xuezheng looked at Du Jinning who was writing with a pen, his eyes flickered, and he didn't speak.

On the other side, Du Jinning completely ignored the stares and low voices, and was immersed in his own article.

For the second article, she still followed the rhythm just now, and did not speed up because no one lit incense, or because Guan Le and He were not late for the office in the afternoon.She still typed up the draft first, and then began to formally write it.

When she handed in the article, Feng Xuezheng glanced at the hourglass in the corner of the room, and found that the time Du Jinning took was only a little faster than the previous article.

He glanced at Du Jinning, then lowered his head to read the article.

This article is still a continuation of the one just now, and the first sentence quotes a sentence from "Lushi Chunqiu": "Husbands and crops are made by people, they are born by land, and they are raised by heaven."

The title is about the relationship between the "three talents" of heaven, earth and man.This sentence points out the crops that are cultivated together by heaven, earth and people, and puts the human factor in the first place, setting the tone for the whole article. The article emphasizes the role of people .

When Feng Xuezheng saw this, although he knew Du Jinning's writing level already, and knew that there was nothing wrong with this article, he still didn't pay too much attention to this article, and only regarded it as an ordinary entry. For the exam questions, I don't think Du Jinning can come up with any novel and unique insights on farming.

After all, Du Jinning is only 14 years old.Although born in a farming family, which of the scholars who can take the imperial examination these days will go to the field?It is estimated that the five grains are not clear.

But when he continued to look down, his expression gradually became dignified.

"Chao Cuo said: 'Corn cloth and silk are born on the ground, grow longer than the time, and gather in force.' This 'force' is manpower. How can force be gathered? The time is right, the place is right, and the things are right. The weather and the place are right, so the crops Those who are rich.....It is suitable for the time of day, the veins of the land, and the nature of things, and there are no mistakes, and then half the work will get twice the result."

After reading the entire article, Feng Xuezheng had long forgotten his plan to criticize, pointed to the article in his hand and asked Du Jinning: "You wrote this article?"

Du Jinning looked puzzled: "Yes, I wrote it there just now." She pointed to the desk on the side of the hall.

"That's not what I mean." Feng Xuezheng waved his hand, "I just want to ask, who came up with the views in this article?"

Du Jinning still looked puzzled, and pointed to his nose: "Me. I just thought of it when I was writing the article."

She was at a loss, "Why, is there something wrong?" As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Guan Lehe and Guan Jiaze.

Guan Lehe knew that his disciples must have put forward some viewpoints or ideas in the article, which shocked Feng Xuezheng.In the past, he was often intimidated by the unique insights expressed by his disciples in the articles, and now he was very happy to see Feng Xuezheng also experience this.

He pretended not to know anything, and looked at Feng Xuezheng suspiciously: "Yes, Feng Xuezheng, is there anything wrong?"

"No, no, nothing wrong." Feng Xuezheng waved his hand, looking at Du Jinning's serious face, "Are you sure you just came up with the point of view in this article?"

Du Jinning nodded: "Sure."

"If not, you'd better say it now, and I won't blame you; but if you don't say it and I find out, the consequences will be very serious." Feng Lehe's expression became more serious.

"I thought about it." Du Jinning said directly without thinking.

Feng Xuezheng looked at her for a while, and when he turned his head to talk to Guan Lehe, there was already a smile on his face: "Lehe, you are a good student. You are a good seed who can write such articles."

Guan Lehe couldn't care less about praising Du Jinning, and hurriedly wanted to take the opportunity to finalize the matter: "Then his admission to the Imperial College..."

Feng Xuezheng stroked his beard and smiled kindly: "Of course there is no problem. If children like this are not accepted, who else can we accept?"

Guan Lehe breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Du Jinning and Guan Jiaze: "What are you two still doing there? Why don't you hurry up and give Feng Xuezheng an apprenticeship?"

Guan Jiaze got up quickly, walked to Du Jinning and stood beside Du Jinning, and made a deep bow to Feng Xuezheng with her.

Feng Xuezheng raised his hand, signaled them to stand up, and said: "There is an exam every month, and after the exam, the position of each student will be adjusted according to the results. I hope you can be admitted to the inner house as soon as possible."

"Yes." The two replied.

"Okay, Xue Chi, take them to go through the formalities." Feng Xuezheng told Zhai Fu.

Afterwards, Guan Lehe went back to the Yamen, while Du Jinning and Guan Jiaze followed the husband named Xue Chi to go through the formalities.

Taixue does not stipulate that you must live on campus. Both Du Jinning and Guan Jiaze hope to study in peace without being disturbed by foreign objects, so they both chose to live on campus.The school building here is also a room for one person, and the conditions are not bad, not worse than Nanlu Academy.

After completing the formalities and choosing a dormitory, the two left Taixue and prepared to go home.

Before getting into the carriage, Guan Jiaze asked curiously, "What did you write in that article later?"

"Oh, nothing, just wrote a little opinion about agriculture."

Du Jinning knew that he had no roots, and it was not an easy task for him to become an agricultural official in the Ministry of Industry after being awarded a Jinshi.Even with the help of Qi Bokun and Guan Lehe, it will be difficult to convince the public, and people will be suspicious of their achievements.So she plans to slowly reveal her talent in this area in the article from now on.

The Xuezheng and teachers of Taixue are outstanding in all aspects. As long as they believe that she has talent in this area, she will not be surprised at what she does in the future.

Guan Jiaze also knew about Du Jinning's ambitions, and even more about Du Jinning's talents.

He looked at Du Jinning with envy on his face: "It's great that you and Qi Muyuan knew early on what kind of path you want to take. I don't know what I can do in the future."

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of Qi Muyuan, slapped his forehead, and said, "Ah, I didn't invite Qi Muyuan to come with me today." Then he asked Du Jinning, "Why don't we go find him later? I don't know when he will come to go through the admission procedures. If only he chose the dormitory with us."
