Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 580 Thoughts and Predictions
What happened next, even if Zhou Banxia didn't say it, Gu Wenxuan had heard about it. He had heard Gao Wu mention the history of the Gao family when he was in the provincial capital.

Ever since this Mr. Wang came to the clan school in Gaojia Village to give lectures and relax, it has brought an opportunity for the clan school in Gaofu to show its talents.

In February and March of the following year, eleven people from the Gaofu clan school passed the county examination, and five passed the academy examination. Three years later, the same five people passed the provincial examination.

It's a pity that he didn't stay for long. After five years, he returned to Wang's family school. However, the Gao family couldn't invite a great scholar, so the old scholar was still unable to do it.

Especially since Mr. Gao got promoted, it goes without saying.

It is reported that, as of this year, the teachers at the Gaofu clan school are all old juren, and the teaching staff is only one jinshi less than that of the county school.

For a clan school, with the existence of Jingshan Academy and Fuxue in the past, it has been able to develop to its current scale and maintain its position as the third largest school in the city. This is quite remarkable.

But this is the only way. Ever since the day when the eldest son of the two Gao brothers left the clan school to study under other famous teachers, there has been little room for the development of the Gao family school.

It can't be underestimated, but it is impossible to come up with a champion in the next few years. To be at the top, besides luck and backing, the key is talent.

scholarship?

It is not enough to just excel in reciting poems and writing essays. The imperial examinations of this dynasty, starting from the academy examinations, not only focus more on classics, laws and practical strategies, but the proportion of mathematics questions is even higher than that of poetry and essays.

The great poet Li Bai failed the college entrance examination even though he didn't know Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art. How could he have a chance to take part in the provincial examination? The existing scholars preparing for the examination in Gaofu Clan School are not a cause for concern.

However, in this notebook, his wife ranked the top ten people, and for three or five of them, there would be certain risks if they wanted to compete for the title of Jieyuan.

After looking through the information of the ten scholars again, Gu Wenxuan's finger fell on the information of the second person in the front, and there was one item among them.

——Never forget what he sees.

He then moved his gaze back to the top, to the column indicating age.

A twenty-nine-year-old student on government scholarship?
"Wife, don't you think this man is strange? Since he has a photographic memory and started learning at the age of six, how come he can't pass the provincial examination when he is almost thirty?

You see, here you have indicated that you are proficient in classics and laws. Generally speaking, if you are good at these two, your policy essays should not be too bad.

After all, his comprehension and logical thinking were not a problem, and he was unable to take the imperial examinations during this period because he was not in mourning. How could he fail the exam after studying for twenty years? "

Zhou Banxia glanced at the contents of the paper page, tilted his head and smiled, "Please read it again, the key is on the fifth line, at what age did you get engaged for the second time -"

"I understand." Without waiting for Zhou Banxia to finish, Gu Wenxuan immediately realized that it was his negligence. He was distracted and did not read the above information carefully.

This unlucky guy was engaged three times, but fortunately he got married and had children.

The first time, the girl was engaged to someone else, but she died when she was a hundred days old; the second time, the girl was engaged to someone else when she was seven or eight years old, but she unfortunately got lost; the third time, the marriage was arranged between cousins, and the relationship was settled.

"Looking at his family background, his ancestors were merchants, and it was not until his great-grandfather that he gave up business and returned to his native tribe to become a landlord. I think the family assets should still be quite considerable by his generation.

It should be given by the Gaojia Village Clan School. The definition of a well-off family is different from what most people understand. Even a family with thousands of acres of fertile land is not considered a well-off family.

I guess this family is rich, and there is something shady about the engagement that they arranged, so they only took the county exam when they were adults, which happened to be the year of the third engagement."

Gu Wenxuan gave a thumbs up decisively, "The analysis is very accurate. Considering that we have taken the exam and rested for a few years, this should be the case.

What's strange is that since he took a few years off after the college entrance examination, he should have been well prepared for the provincial examination. How could he fail? " "What's so strange about this? 'People make mistakes, horses stumble.' Besides, his college entrance examination ranking was not very high, only seventh. It's not uncommon for second place to be eliminated in the provincial examination."

Also!

So stupid!
Gu Wenxuan slapped his forehead and said, "I'm just thinking about the four words 'photographic memory'. I'm still thinking that I don't even dare to say that I have a photographic memory——"

"How come there are students with photographic memory who can't pass the exam better than me?" Zhou Banxia took over the conversation, covering his mouth and laughing, "Are you nervous?"

Gu Wenxuan laughed and shook his head, "Not really. It's not good to tell the truth outside, so I can only say in front of my father that passing the imperial examination shouldn't be a problem.

However, there is nothing to hide from you. Since I dare to propose to you so early that I want to strive to win the first place next year, I should compete with me.

There are still seven or eight months left, and I can't stay where I am without making any progress. No matter how excellent these people are, they are risks, but they are not a threat yet.

You didn't put pressure on me to get the top prize, so I felt more relaxed. Besides, man proposes, God disposes, so why should I be nervous? "

"Very good!" Zhou Banxia couldn't reach out to pat Gu Wenxuan's shoulder, so he simply patted his leg. "Very good, you've taken a big step forward in terms of mentality! Work hard, young man!"

"Young man?" Gu Wenxuan glanced at Zhou Banxia, ​​"Why don't you say it? Try your best, you middle school boy? Don't think I can't hear the hidden meaning in your words!"

"It's snowing?" Zhou Banxia immediately turned his head and looked at the window.

"Not June."

"Change roles."

"I am wronged~"

Zhou Banxia burst out laughing.

Silly wife! Gu Wenxuan couldn't help but rubbed Zhou Banxia's face with his hand, "I won't look through the account books. Please, just tell me how much real money is left."

Zhou Banxia grabbed his mischievous hands and put them down, then glanced at him, "It will take a while to explain it, why do I ask you to look through the account books?

I just finished reviewing the accounts not long ago. Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and there are still income and expenditure accounts in December. I plan to review the accounts after the Little New Year.

Now, I have added a few more transactions to this account book since you last looked at it, but I haven't had time to summarize the cash flow yet.

I originally wanted to wait until December to receive the funds, and to have the accounts ready by 25th or 26th, so that I could pay my monthly salary and benefits a few days early and start the holiday to celebrate the New Year.”

Gu Wenxuan nodded to show that he understood. "Then let's get up and go back to the room first. Sitting all the time will put pressure on our stomachs. Do you have any plans to buy a shop or farm first?"

"Of course there is, Zhoujia Village is the transit station." Zhou Banxia stood up with the force of Gu Wenxuan pulling her up, "I want to choose the Dingzhou area first.

We don't have to have a full 100,000 taels on hand at the moment. We can keep enough cash for two months of turnover. Our second target can be the area around Yangzhou Prefecture.

Over there is the Zhou family's main clan, and there are also your aunt's family, your uncle's classmates and friends, and your master's great master. Our own clan is not strong enough to suppress the latter three parties.

It is almost the base camp, and the difficulty of buying a property is relatively much easier than in other places. Just after the first month of the lunar year, Gu Dahua will start inspecting the manor. "
