    "As long as nothing happens, then Fang Jifan" Xu Jing looked around and lowered his voice: "It's really hateful. Are you sure about this? You must not be under Fang Jifan's three disciples, otherwise"

    Tang Yin's eyes flashed with anger: "Young brother, I am somewhat sure."

    When friends meet again, there is always a lot to say.

    Xu Jing then began to feel sorry for Tang Yin: "If you had not encountered any accident, you could have gone with me to visit Mr. Cheng that night. Mr. Cheng is also one of the examiners of this subject. You don't know, this Mr. Cheng,  I admire Bohu very much. I am very sorry to know that Bohu did not come. We are from the same hometown as him. He is very enthusiastic about Brother Yu. He has asked people to post several times to invite me to play chess in Cheng's house. This time, if I can go to high school, there will be  With the support of the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, my official career will not be so difficult and dangerous."

    Listening to Xu Jing's tone, Cheng Minzheng admired Xu Jing. Even Tang Yin felt regretful. Yes, if there had been no changes, he would have become a guest of the Cheng family. What a proud feeling.

    Xu Jing smiled again, blinked, and whispered: "On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, I went to Cheng Mansion and spent three hundred taels of gold to beg Master Cheng for calligraphy. Master Cheng's calligraphy was quite unique.  I¡¯m still hiding that calligraphy treasure, and I¡¯ll show it to you next time.¡±

    After hearing this, Tang Yin couldn't help but admire Xu Jing's exquisite appearance.

    The so-called begging is actually just some unspoken rules for human relations.

    When scholars meet certain ministers, it is naturally inconvenient to give gifts. After all, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, but it would be uninteresting if they leave empty-handed every time.

    It is necessary to give gifts and be elegant at the same time, so this begging message came into being. It is nothing more than saying, Mr. so-and-so, your calligraphy is good. I have been thinking about it day and night, and I want to ask for one to post in my home.  So Mr. So-and-so wrote a calligraphy. Naturally, this calligraphy was given for free. How about charging?  Are you insulting me?  And you are still a late-born, educated person, so how can you talk about money?

    But those who beg for literature must give a reward, so that they can't work in vain. Besides, culture cannot be measured by money. If you give one or two taels of silver, it is an insult to Mr. So-and-so, Mr. So-and-so.  Are such good words worth this little money?  Therefore, the higher the price, the more cultural value is shown.

    The Xu family was originally a wealthy family in southern Zhili, and Xu Jing spent three hundred taels of gold, which was indeed generous. It can be seen that Xu Jing felt that he had great hope in high school. There were many things in the future that needed Cheng Minzheng's care.

    Xu Jing said regretfully: "Hey, it would be nice if you were here" After saying that, he shook his head.

    After hearing this, Tang Yin felt extremely regretful. Cheng Minzheng was a high-ranking official. Even if he could not join the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the future, he would sooner or later become the head of the Ministry and the pinnacle of the court.

    Such people miss the opportunity and will appear powerful if they visit after the rankings are released or after high school.

    After all, when a low-level official visits a high-level official, this is called flattery.  However, if a scholar is not an official and pays homage to his fellow countrymen, it will not feel abrupt.

    Now that Cheng Minzheng is one of the examiners, he will obviously be extremely busy in the next few days. When he is finished, it will be time to release the results.

    That¡¯s all¡­

    Although Tang Yin was a little annoyed, he quickly shook his head. After all, he was a free and easy person. When his father was still alive, he had always been very proud. In the past few years, he had lowered his attitude slightly and began to want to learn to be more diplomatic.  But now that the opportunity has been lost, what's the use of regretting it?  He said to Xu Jing: "Now that the exam is over, you and I are reunited. How many drinks should we have?"

    Xu Jing raised his eyebrows: "How dare you disobey your orders."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    When Ouyang Zhi, Liu Wenshan, and Jiang Chen came out of Zigong Courtyard, it was much colder outside.

    The three of them looked at each other, each knowing in their mind that after studying the questions for several months, it was a miracle that they succeeded in the exam this time.

    They were honest people and did not think too deeply about it, so they returned to their homes obediently.

    The capital is already boiling.

    Especially Tang Bohu¡¯s word ¡°good¡± made the whole capital excited.

    Tang Jieyuan said it was good, so it must be good.

    Many gambling houses in Beijing have started trading, and the vast majority of people are optimistic about Yingtian Mansion's Jieyuan. After all, Yingtian Mansion's Jieyuan is a symbol of strength, and it is almost the same as the promotion of Shuntian Mansion.  The advantages of crushing.

    Li Dongyang, a bachelor of the Cabinet and Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, ordered the papers to be sealed, and then ordered people to copy the answers. After that, he and the examiners reviewed the papers on the spot in the Gongyuan. The Gongyuan was still heavily guarded, with three floors inside and three floors outside.  Not even a fly is allowed in or out.

    As the examiner this time??Li Dongyang is quite looking forward to the popular candidates for this conference.

    Especially Tang Yin, because of a gambling game, everyone in the world was involved. He had read some of Tang Yin's articles. He was a very talented person. If he could pass this subject, in the future he would enter the Hanlin Academy.  In the hospital, it can be cultivated.

    Cheng Minzheng was also responsible for reading the questions. He was in a good mood. This time he became an examiner and added another step to his qualifications. What's more, before the exam, he also met several fellow villagers.  Talented people, when they are in high school, it will be a good thing to be able to recruit them into the school.  The new scholars need a patron, and for the big shots in the court, who doesn¡¯t want their disciples and old officials to be spread all over the world?  Even if you are a high-ranking official, there will always be someone to carry the sedan chair, right?

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    As soon as the exam was finished here, someone from the other side rushed to the palace to report.

    Emperor Hongzhi pinched his fingers and knew that it was almost time. Next, he would wait for Li Dongyang and others to review the papers and release the results. The result would be clear.

    At this time, he was discussing matters with Liu Jian and Wang Ao. After hearing the eunuch's report, Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile: "It's really hard to wait for the announcement of the list. I think Master Wang must have a lot of experience."

    Wang Ao was speechless. He was indeed impatient. After all, his nephew had finished the exam. The past few days when the results were released were really worrying. If the Wang family wanted to prosper, they must have some talents. In this way, they could inherit the Wang family's legacy.  I have a family background. I have several sons. One of them passed the civil service examination. After that, he took several subjects in succession, and there was no hope. As he got older, since he could not pass the examination, he was simply recommended to the Ministry of Civil Affairs as a civil servant, and finally he was given to a county.  The master's book asked him to hone his skills slowly. There is another one who is still just a scholar. Thinking about it, he doesn't have much hope.

    On the contrary, it is this nephew who has the best chance to go to high school. In the future, it may be this nephew who will shine on the family tree.

    Wang Ao said honestly: "Old minister, I am ashamed."

    He didn¡¯t deny it outright.

    Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile: "I am actually quite curious about Jinke's examination. Oh, that Tang"

    "It's Tang Yin" Wang Ao added.

    Xie Qian was also somewhat interested in Tang Yin. He was from Zhejiang, not far from Wuzhong: "It is said that a few months before the exam, this son was studying hard and thanking guests behind closed doors, even though he was in bed. This time it was a tiger."  When you go down the mountain, you have the ambition to go up the mountain, which should not be underestimated.¡±

    Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head and thought for a moment: "So, what about Ouyang Zhi and the others? In my opinion, the Ouyang Zhi and the others should not be underestimated. After all, they have been trained by Fang Jifan"

    When talking about Ouyang Zhi, both Wang Ao and Xie Qian laughed.

    Liu Jian couldn't help but smile bitterly at the presence of the old man.

    What are you really afraid of?

    Liu Jian is from the north. To be honest, the literary style in the north is indeed not prosperous. He cannot deny this. However, the current direction of the trend is clearly towards the competition between scholars from the north and the south. This makes him quite worried. After all  ¡­He is from the north, and no one likes to enjoy being beaten.

    The reason why Wang Ao and Xie Qian laughed was just because Ouyang Zhi and other officials from Northern Zhili were not worth mentioning in their eyes. How could they compete with Tang Yin, the Prime Minister of Southern Zhili?  Than, it¡¯s really

    In terms of examinations, Jiangnan people like Xie Qian and Wang Ao are still very proud. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it has been proven countless times that no northern scholar can beat them.  This is a place where there are North and South Lists. If there were no North and South Lists, it would be almost like hanging them up or holding them horizontally and vertically, and the freedom to let oneself go would be rubbed away by others.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
