Being happy is Lu Zheng's pursuit, but from Ying'er's point of view, he feels that Lu Zheng seems to be a little confused in order to study.
She had persuaded Lu Zheng to go out to relax, meet friends, or visit a teacher more than once, but Lu Zheng declined.
With Lu Zheng's level of diligence, is he really going to the head of the trial?
The last pass of the boy test is the college test, also known as the Taoist test. The master of Zhili Xuezheng Su Qing is the main examiner, and the examination room in Yangzhou is located in Zhishui Academy.
In addition to the students from Yangzhou Prefecture, children from Changzhou Prefecture and Anqing Prefecture will also come to Yangzhou for the Taoist Examination. The three residences are integrated into one, with an examination room and one case leader. A total of 100 food students will be recruited. Twenty and six people.
There are a total of 27 counties in Sanfu, and only 126 students are admitted. On average, each county has less than five people admitted. This shows how low the chances of being admitted to scholars are.
And to win the first place in such an exam, it is even more difficult to imagine. In Yinger's view, Lu Zheng worked so hard for the sake of the case?
"My son, grandma has asked someone to give you a rose cake again! My grandma knows that you have got the head of the case, she is very excited! Now the weather is just right, the spring flowers are blooming, and the scenery above Yushan is also beautiful, why not go, son Yushan and his party?" Yinger said.
Lu Zheng frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "Yushan is not in a hurry, Yushan is high, and it is the best way to escape the summer heat. Just wait until you have tried it before you go!"
Ying'er's mouth finally pouted, and said, "My son, you can be the leader of the case. Of course there are factors of your own hard work, but the teacher's guidance is also important. You can never forget your teacher. The weather is so good today, son. Why not visit your teacher?"
Lu Zheng looked at Ying'er suddenly, and said, "You girl, I understand, you have to send me out! Then if I say Master Luo has already entered Beijing, Master Yan will thank you behind closed doors, Master Gui What are you waiting to say after going out and traveling?"
Ying'er smiled and said: "You can't stay at home anymore. Although it's a good thing for you to work hard, it's not good for you to work too hard. The high school talents of the boy are already nailed down. It depends on your posture, Brother Bihao. And Young Master Tian works harder!
Ying'er is not a scholar, but she also knows that she cannot read as a nerd. The son has not yet gone out after he got the first place in the mansion trial. He has been kept at home like this, and the road test is approaching. You should go out and breathe! "
Seeing Ying'er's persistence, Lu Zheng couldn't smile at all. For him, learning was the biggest weakness. Other dealings with people and sophistication were not a problem at all.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Zheng declined all social gatherings, and dedicated himself to studying hard to improve. In his opinion, a lot of social entertainment nowadays is actually meaningless.
Just like Qin Yue's invitation, to drink wine on the painting boat in the evening is nothing more than eating and drinking, noisy, touting, and at most looking for a more beautiful appearance to spend the night, it is not attractive to Lu Zheng!
Now he remembers Master Luo's advice in his heart, and his enthusiasm for knowledge is not slack, and it is very likely that Enke will be opened next year. All of Lu Zheng's current accumulation is extremely valuable, and it is more precious than gold at the critical moment.
But seeing Ying'er look like this, this girl is real, Lu Zheng couldn't help wondering if he was really hard at work lately, and it's hard to keep others from thinking about it.
Tian Zepeng is only a child. It is said that there have been a lot of entertainment recently. Zhang Baoyi also specially organized a poetry party and called all the shadows to celebrate Tian Zepeng! Lu Zheng got the head of the case, and the talented scholar was determined. On the contrary, he couldn't get out of the door and thanked the guests behind closed doors. Can the girls of Ying'er have a balance in their hearts? Can they feel comfortable?
"Alright! I'll take you a little later today, to Cross Street, okay?" Lu Zheng said.
"Okay, okay, great!" Siqi yelled outside the yard, carrying a food basket in her hand, and said: "My son, you have your favorite braised chicken at noon!"
"The mistress sent me from Sister Cuihong, hey, the son is now in a different status, even the mistress treats you differently!" Si Qi said.
Ying'er pursed her lips and said, "I still want to go to the Slender West Lake! Cross Street is not too thin and the night market beside West Lake is bustling!"
"Well, go to Cross Street in the afternoon and Slender West Lake in the evening, okay?" Lu Zheng said.
Yinger laughed and said, "Hurry up and eat, Huamei and Xiaozhu, don’t dare, Uncle Qi, have dinner, please call Sanshu Sun by the way and let him set up the car. After we ate and drank enough, in the afternoon Go out!"
With Ying'er's shout, the three girls in the courtyard including Siqi all cheered, and the busy women on the side also laughed, and the little Xijiao courtyard was full of laughter.
...
Xinhe County Office, Nie Yong tried the case all morning, and his mind was dizzy and a little uncomfortable.
He returned to the backyard of the county government. Master Liang Chu personally made him a cup of strong tea and said in a low voice: "Master County, don't bother yourself with those trivial things, aren't there Master Wu and Master Zhang? "
Nie Yong gently shook his head and said: "In his place, seeking his own government, I have been in Yangzhou for three years, and many places have been ashamed of the emperor. Only diligence has never been slack.
I dare not forget the spirit of the emperor of the food, the matter of the end of the emperor, the character of my scholars! "
Liang Chang said: "Adults are well-known in the world, and many people feel and admire them. In the past three years, Fu has had the honor to follow the adults to experience the trials and finally get all the hardships and happiness. This is the honor of Fu's life!"
"Master said that if it weren't for Master, I would not be able to survive the past few years. Hey, three years in Yangzhou is worse than a few decades of life. It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books." Nie Yongdao .
He held a teacup in his hand, stood up and paced slowly, Liang Chang said, "Master Nie, have you really decided to go to Yingtian Palace? If you go to Yingtian, you will undoubtedly sit in the crater. I am afraid that there will be no peace from now on. what!"
Nie Yong held a teacup in his hand and said nothing. He has been troubled by this problem recently. He has gained a firm foothold in Yangzhou. If he succumbs to it slowly, he is extremely confident that he can go forward one step at a time.
However, Ying Tian’s opportunity here is fleeting. With his talents, he was born in Hanlin, and he was a leader in the Hanlin Academy. It took him three years to work in the local area. After all his hardships, his great ambitions, Is it to protect the land for the emperor for the emperor in this big palm of his life?
He looked at his hands, and what he was holding was a handful of sloppy cards. He had no ambitions, and there was no stage to display. The years were wasted, and he would be old in a few years!
"What's going on with Brother Zheng?" Nie Yongdao.
"I've been staring at him all the time. After the test at the house, Master Lu said he was sick at home and didn't leave the house. It is said that he studied hard every day, didn't know the guests, and didn't go to banquets. This mentality was really shocking."
Nie Yong sighed softly and said, "This son's talent is too high, I admire it!" Nie Yong couldn't help sighing, in fact, his heart is more itchy like a cat's claw.
When he was hesitant, he wanted to hear other people's opinions. He wrote to Lvzhulin, but Lvzhulin never responded.
In fact, he had long known that Lu Zhulin’s reply was Lu Zheng’s reply, and Lu Zheng was Master Yan’s proud disciple! However, Lu Zheng has been busy with his studies recently and stays at home.
Nie Yongtang, the county lord, wouldn't he go to the door of Zhang's house and visit Lu Zheng, right? Zhang Chengxi is now his subordinate! It is obviously unreasonable to do that.
Liang Su naturally understood Nie Yong's thoughts. He said, "Master County, with all due respect, you have to think twice about your trip to the sky. Even if you really make a decision, you can't count on the green bamboo forest!
Brother Zheng is just the age to seek fame. When he reads like this, he must be certain that the emperor will open Enke next year. Under such a situation, how can he come out of his mind?
Besides, Ying Tian is at the feet of the real emperor. Jinling has six yamen, and there are so many princes and nobles. The complicated relationships in the officialdom are even more difficult to exhaust. Even if I correspond to the sky, I feel that my eyes are dark, brother Zheng. A 16-year-old boy, no matter how talented he is, how much can he know? "
Nie Yong nodded slightly, and said, "You mean that Ying Tian is more auspicious?"
Liang Su nodded and said: "Yes, my lord, haste is not enough. Jiangnan is not a capital city, and adults have no foundation in Jiangnan. You are going to Yingtian alone like this. How can you be sure?
No one can dance on the tip of a knife. There are no wet shoes standing by the river. Adults have read the twenty-four history, don't they know that history is a mirror? "
Nie Yong slowly sat down and fell into silence. He held the teacup with both hands and squeezed the teacup fiercely. It was almost squeezed by him.
In the silence, the door came in quietly, slowly leaning to Liang Chu's ear and speaking in a low voice.
"Huh?" Liang Chuan frowned, suddenly sat upright, and stood up. He leaned into Nie Yong's ear and said in a low voice: "My lord, there was news from the door just now. Brother Zheng has come out. He is now in the cross street. Yeah!"
"Ah..." Nie Yong put down the teacup, because the movement was too big, the tea splashed out, and the skirt of his clothes was wet. However, Nie Yong didn't care, he waved his hand and said:
"Okay, I'm running out today. Let me tell you that the case in the afternoon will not be heard. Master Liang, go back and change clothes quickly. You and I will go out. It is estimated that Brother Zheng will definitely settle down in Fusheng Bookstore or Fuyun Restaurant on Cross Street. , You first book a room at Fuyun Restaurant, and we will have tea there this afternoon!"
Nie Yong's whole person seemed to be alive all at once. Liang Chang was ashamed and jealous when he saw this scene, but most of them were disapproving.
Liang Chang is known for being good at making judgments, and following Nie Yong in the past few years can be said to have been born to death, but in the end he still has insufficient strength and failed to make Nie Yong obey him.
And Lu Zheng was sixteen years old, but Nie Yong paid great attention to him. Lu Zheng's strategy Nie Yong never ignored it, which made Liang Chuan embarrassed.
However, Liang Chu didn't believe that Lu Zheng could help Nie Yong with Yingtian's affairs. In his opinion, Lu Zheng was at best a young man's spirit, which fits exactly with Nie Yong's thoughts!
