Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

The future Premier of the State Council of the Ming Dynasty came to your house and said to you: "Little Cui, I still lack a disciple. Come and follow me."

At this time, is it promised, promised, or promised?

For the motherland, for the people, and for the historians of later generations to eat a few more bowls of rice, Cui Xie stepped forward resolutely and took over this enormous burden!

He bowed his hands to Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing, and said with shame: "I never thought that adults had such expectations for students, and that they had not dared to go to the door. It was the students' fault. Since the adults show love so much, the students will visit the door tomorrow. Please don’t give up."

Yang Yiqing joked next to him: "Senior brother, there is no shortage of students anyway. I have nothing to do in the pavilion. It's not bad to bring a disciple in my free time. It's better than eating alcohol everywhere."

Li Dongyang snorted and squinted at his junior: "You are in the palace on weekdays, how can you come out to teach him? Or it is convenient to follow me, the imperial court is early, and now there is no transcript to repair, I have leisure time training disciples ."

As he said, he poured the wine for another minute, and looked at the blue and white porcelain jug of the Cui family. It was a bit of an idea to ask Cui Xie to replace the six gifts with good wine.

Cui Xie's eyesight was good, so he immediately went over and refilled him with wine to see that there was not much wine in Yang Yiqing's glass. He also filled it up for a while, and toasted them by himself. Later, I ordered people to take new pepper noodles and dried Tianmu bamboo shoots, and make a few bowls of hot and sour soup to sober everyone up.

To be able to worship a teacher like Li Dongyang, let alone pepper, if their family has bird's nest, they dare to put bird's nest in this soup!

Soon the kitchen brought the soup up, and the two adults drank the spicy and slightly sour soup. After eating, they sweated profusely. They suddenly felt less drunk and could eat for more than ten minutes.

Cui Xie was afraid that they would drink too much and hurt the liver, so he asked someone to find out the wine Xie Ying sent back. Only one wine was distilled and stored for a year or two, and the taste became mellow and soft, which was better for the liver and kidney of these two adults.

Li Dongyang took a sip and said "light". Yang Yiqing didn't want to be Cui Xie's teacher, so he was more conscious of drinking wine than him, and stretched his neck to persuade him: "This wine is already rare. Is the rice wine sold in the market as much as there are? People also served us pepper soup, there are chicken and goose in the dishes, but it is a serious thank you feast, what else do you want to eat?"

Xie Ying smiled: "These are all self-brewed wines, and they are not valuable. It's just that Cui Jian was young and couldn't eat wine. I was not willing to give him more. I had known that he had such a teacher coming to the house for wine. , I sent more last year."

Cui Xie took the opportunity to raise a glass to persuade: "Brother Xie didn't tell me, I forgot. I have never invited you to the house, and I haven't thanked my brother Xie for the wine. I'll do it first. Thank you, please feel free."

Holding the porcelain cup in both hands, he slammed the Xie Ying cup low. Two full cups of wine spilled slightly, falling onto the table along the edge of the cup, and melting into a small pool.

Xie Ying drank the wine happily, then came to the bottom of the cup and smiled: "I haven't congratulated Cui Jiansheng for being a good teacher, sit down, this time it's my turn to respect you."

Choi Xie still poured the wine for him, and the two clinked their glasses again and drank each other. Although the two of them are extremely restrained in their movements, there is a surging dark tide in every eye and every time they clink glasses, and people feel drunk and Tao Taoran without drinking.

The two elders were drinking, and Li Dongyang wanted to write poems when he was drunk, and asked for paper and pen. Yang Yiqing was busy taking care of him, but he didn't notice that the atmosphere between the two people next to him was too ambiguous.

But asking them to interrupt, the atmosphere broke.

Cui Xie asked someone to take a pen and ink, study a pool of ink, and let him write poems all over the wall. Yang Yiqing couldn’t hold him back. Looking at Cui Xie’s attitude of "I am willing to run the dog under the Dongyang Gate", he didn’t even want the house, and shook his head and said, "This is really a poetry fan who met a poetry fan. It’s not used by your elders, and telling them to see the ink on the wall, is it not too dirty for the wall?"

Cui Xie smiled shyly: "The adults are not worried, there are papers stuck on the wall. Xueshi Li was so happy today, I asked someone to shovel the paper off and put it in my house."

When I turned my head back, I asked my younger siblings and two gentlemen to look at the autographs of the master of the literary world. It's a pity that Lu Juren went back to the hometown to visit relatives and help the poor last month. Otherwise, he would be so happy to see Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing in person and famous child prodigy.

Li Dongyang inscribed two Zhuzhi Ci on the wall and drank half a pot of wine, finally drunk, collapsed on the chair. Yang Yiqing was not much stronger than his drinker, but because he drank slightly and was young, he could still sit up straight and bid farewell to Cui Xie to take the senior.

Cui Xie saw that he was not as good as he could lift Li Dongyang, so he asked people to take the cart and Xie Ying's horse drawn to the main courtyard, and then went to the back room to borrow his grandfather's wheelchair to give away.

Xie Ying pulled him from behind, squeezed his hand and said, "Why is it so troublesome? It's at your house. It's not a few steps away. I'll send Xueshi Li out."

He said that he walked over, put Li Dongyang's arm on his shoulder, relaxed and half lifted the person into the court, raised his hand and threw it into the car. Cui Xie also helped Yang Yiqing get into the car, settled the two, and ordered the coachman to buy a few anti-alcoholic medicines for them when they passed the pharmacy to take them home.

Xie Ying turned on his horse, urged the horse to stand beside him, flicked the back of his head, and whispered comfortingly: "I will personally send the two adults back, so there will be no accident."

Yang Yiqing also got up from the car at this time and said to him with the curtain back: "No need to make people toss, we are all people who drink often, and we have our own measures so that we will not be poisoned by alcohol." He said so. He also had an expression of ironing on his face, and even had some interest in accepting disciples.

His brother still has children in his family and is willing to accept disciples, but he is alone, and he should have a disciple by his side. Even if he is not as considerate as Cui Xie, as long as he is a young, knowledgeable and motivated child...

Cui Xie personally carried the lantern from the courtyard to the outside. He saw the horse disappear into the alley with the cart before turning back and watching his family pack their things.

When he went to school the next day, the people who had been to his house came to express their condolences, saying that he must have asked how many questions and suffered so much that he spent the night with Li Dongyang. Those who weren't there last night didn't know the depth, and they were quite envious of him, and asked him how it feels to be guided by such talents as Li Xueshi and Yang Sheren alone.

Together with the assistants Xie, Liu, and Wang who taught them daily lessons, they all asked him when they met: "I heard that Xueshi Li and Yang Sheren came to your house yesterday? What did they talk to you? Both of them are well known. , Poems and essays are excellent. If you can get one or two, you won’t be able to use it. Don’t waste this opportunity."

Cui Xie said low-key: "Students understand. Li Xueshi has allowed students to study at home, and the students will do their best to learn and live up to the teachings of the gentlemen."

Assistant Professor Xie said: “If you can get a bachelor’s teaching, it’s better than following me. If you want to ask for leave in the future, just say, don’t care about my face-don’t talk about you, I want to study with Li Xueshi and learn to write poetry. "

Assistant Professor Liu said with a smile: "Brother Xie, don’t think about this. You see, our Cui Jiansheng is a child prodigy. People Li Xueshi and Yang Sheren are also child prodigies. Naturally, they cherish each other. You and I are average talents. How can someone who has won a Jinshi win the Hanlin's eyes."

He really had that qualification, and he was admitted to the Imperial Academy.

Several people laughed at themselves, and then patted Cui Xie on the shoulder and said, "Xie Xueshi is one of the people who gave the prince the questions. If you have the opportunity, please ask him to give you more questions. Shi's answer is good, and it is more and more in the eyes of Long live and the Prince."

Yes, there are exams. He came up with this test question first. Cui Xie almost had tears in his eyes, and nodded deeply: "Thank you for the instructor. I looked back and looked for the opportunity to ask Master Li for this."

After leaving school in the evening, he asked someone to prepare a post, installed two jars of shochu, four-color dim sum, and his own printed Qingguo Qing confession notes, and visited Li Dongyangmen.

The Li’s concierge retrieved his house’s post and didn’t ask him to come in directly. He had already asked the master to say a few words. This time he didn’t even need to read the post. He saw his face and said, "Jian Sheng is here. The master has ordered, please go inside."

The Li family, like the Liu family, came from a military family, belonged to Jinwu Zuowei, and lived in the capital for generations. However, Li Dongyang's father did not join the army, but taught as a career, and had a serious temperament. Mr. Li was still working in the Qingshui Yamen Hanlin Yard at this time. He only had a small salary a year. Bingjing and Tanjing were not many, and his family was not rich.

When Cui Xie came to his house, he could see that the things in this house were old, but they were neatly packed, and the behavior of the servants was also strict-much better than theirs.

Li Dongyang was staring at his two sons at home at this time. He heard that Cui Xie was coming, so he put down the four books in his hand and asked the children to recite them by themselves. He walked to the edge of the study with his hands and said, "Tell him to sit in the hall. , I’m busy with things here and just pass."

The long follower asked: "Cui Jiansheng gave a jar of wine and a few snacks to show Lilai, but the adults accept it, or tell him to take it back?"

His eldest son Zhaoxian asked, "Is this supervised student also a gifted poet? How can he be a supervised student?"

Li Dongyang looked at the sly brilliance flowing in his eyes, and felt more cute. He smiled and said, "I will be a supervised student this year, but he will not be a supervised student next year. I'm satisfied with your father."

He asked his two sons to study and went to see Cui Xie. He took the gift list he handed and asked with a slight dissatisfaction: "Why did you bring these Lilais? Is this something serious!"

What about the Six Ceremony? What about bundle repair? If you don’t bring jerky, you can bring fresh meat. Bringing these useless things can be used to sacrifice to the first teacher. Can you give him this teacher?

Cui Xie smiled slightly: "The bachelor has the heart to teach students. How can you refuse to be a student? It's just that it's too late today. If you bring six li in a hurry, you will have to go to the teacher as soon as you come. The etiquette is too simple. Students. Today, I would like to thank you for the crime of waiting for the scholar to wait for the scholar. The next day you will take a leave of absence from the Chinese Studies, and the students will come over with a big gift. That is the appearance of a serious apprenticeship."

Li Dongyang smiled and said, "At a young age, I'm very particular. Who taught you this old-fashioned temper? Don't you ask me what I want to teach you, just like this?"

Cui Xie said: "Mr. is a scholar of nature and man, but he can also publish the meaning of "Four Books". I can read from my husband, no matter what I learn, I am satisfied. But I used to study poetry with Xi Lu Juren in my family. If your husband wants to teach me how to write poetry, please allow me to write a letter to inform Mr. Lu first, and make him happy for me."

The Xixiguan teacher invited at home is not considered a serious master and does not delay studying with him. But Cui Xie can respect even the invited teacher, and will come to his own school, let alone worry about his disobedience and filial piety.

Li Dongyang only regarded him as his own disciple, and looked at him with a smile and said: "You go write it. Although my intention is to teach you some classics and principles, if my disciple of Li can not write poems, I am afraid that people in the world will laugh at it."

He sent several collections of poems he had written to Cui Xie, and took a few sets of papers. Yin Yin warned: "These were originally prepared for the prince, but the topics were a bit biased and difficult. Scholar Li did not allow it to pass. I had to take them. Come back. You will do it yourself, and bring it to me when you come to visit your teacher."

Cui Xie brought a box of gifts when he came, and when he returned, he brought a box of books and rolls of paper, but the weight was much heavier than the thin gift he bought with silver.

He went back and carefully wrote the questions, read the poems, and carefully asked people to prepare for the six rituals in preparation for an apprenticeship. In the middle of this month, he couldn't meet at Xie's house anymore. When he came back, he wrote a text message to Xie Ying, stating that he was going to Li's house to apprentice, and asked Cui Qi to send a letter to Xie's house.

It was not until two days later that he waited for a letter from Xie’s Mansion. The letter was written in length and breadth, but in turn, he apologized to him, saying that he had taken official duties these days, and it was quite troublesome to investigate it. I am afraid it will take a while. Can't make an appointment to meet.

Cui Xie immediately thought of what he said at the birthday banquet that he wanted to eliminate the evil of the capital master, and felt a little worried, and asked specifically when he went to Li Dongyang's house to apprentice.

Mr. Li also remembered this and patted his legs and said: "Xie Qianhu is a believer, so he went to the Suzou newspaper the day before yesterday and said, "The treacherous people in and outside the capital are prospering every day, and every day they commit crimes in the street. The night is gambling, and there are many robbers and thieves here.' I would like to lead our Jinyiwei to investigate this matter. Long live the decree, and the decree compares this group of people to the Han Guo, fearing that they will rely on each other as treacherous. He is still alive, and he has been ordered to take this errand and investigate the inside and outside of the capital!"

Xie Qianhu is really capable, saying that the whitewashing will make Jinyiwei the city management of my great celestial dynasty!

He seized the opportunity and blew a blast in the ears of the future chief assistant and teacher: "I think Xie Qianhu is different from others. Jinyiwei is a servant of the emperor. If there are such anxious and righteous Xie Qianhu. A benevolent person can also restrain the upper and lower, and will not cause the troubles of the former factory..."

Yes, Jin Yiwei is just a close attendant of the emperor, and his behavior depends on who is the commander.

Elder Li Weiwei and Ge shook his head and sighed: "Your teacher, I am just a literary minister. I can't control such a major event. I hope Xie Qianhu can keep this in mind and have a day to control Jin Yiwei."
