Chapter 301 Second retreat, all relying on acting skills

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Early the next morning, Zhao Hao announced that he would stay in seclusion with his father until three days before the exam, and ordered all the disciples to prepare well for the exam, supervise each other, and not slack off.

    He had already spoken about this matter beforehand, so the disciples were not surprised.  After helping Master and Grandmaster arrange the retreat place in the east courtyard, he reluctantly returned to the west courtyard.

    Considering various factors such as the lack of absolutely reliable manpower, Zhao Hao did not choose to go to the wilderness like last time, but retreated at home.

    However, the precautions have not been relaxed.

    To avoid overcrowding, Zhao Hao specifically announced that the popular science exhibition would be temporarily closed. More than a dozen guards were divided into two shifts to guard outside the room day and night.  Every day food and drink are delivered to the door by Gao Wu, and no one is allowed to set foot in the door.

    Zhao Shizhen wanted to follow him in to serve, but Zhao Hao ruthlessly kicked him back to the west courtyard and asked him and Zhang Jian to tinker with the automatic water lifting device.

    ??~~

    When only father and son were left in the house, Zhao Hao closed the door and took his father into the inner room.

    As soon as Zhao Shouzheng saw the portrait of Song Taizu posted on the wall, he immediately knelt down in surprise and wanted to rush up and kiss the fat black man.

    "Our ancestors really still love us!"

    "The ancestors' affairs naturally start well and end well." Zhao Hao secretly rolled his eyes and said to himself that no wonder Mr. Zhao was doing nothing all day long. It turned out that he pinned all his hopes on his ancestors.

    ??????????????????? If the ancestor is no longer smart, it will be a huge blow to him.  I guess I can only live as a filial piety and honest person in this life, living on a soft diet

    But it saved a lot of nonsense. After Zhao Shouzheng finished offering incense and kowtow to his ancestors, Zhao Hao took out the yellow paper from his sleeve, handed it to his father and said, "Old rules."

    "I know. After reading it, I can't even say it if I burn it or kill you." Zhao Shou just held the treasure in his hands. When he opened it, he saw that there was still a big question:

    ¡®The Master said: You, do you know this from your teaching?  Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, this is knowing.  ¡¯

    Second Master Zhao couldn¡¯t help being surprised and happy. He kowtowed to Zhao Kuangyin vigorously and kept saying: "Ancestors bless you, ancestors bless you!"

    You should know that if it were replaced with the usual cut-and-match questions, the review process alone would be a big deal.  It's like when an examiner cuts a cucumber, eggplant, or bitter melon into sections and puts them together. Do you think it's an eggplant with cucumbers and bitter melons, or a cucumber with eggplants and bitter melons?

    That doesn¡¯t mean that the longer you think about it, the more you can understand the examiner¡¯s mind.  You still have to meet the examiner online.  If you don't get it right, the article you write will be too far away from the topic, and you won't win even if you try it all.

    It¡¯s different when it comes to big questions. The examiners can¡¯t play randomly even if they want to, so they can only follow Zhu Xi¡¯s annotations honestly.

    At this time, it¡¯s about who has solid basic skills and who makes fewer mistakes.  Mr. Zhao still has more than 20 days to prepare for the composition. If he still fails, then there is probably something shady. After all, it is much more difficult to win a Jinshi in Beijing than to win a Jinshi in Nanjing.

    What makes Zhao Hao feel a little relieved is that Li Chunfang is a mature and cautious official, and he should still do things in a measured way

    However, no matter how much you think about those uncontrolled variables, it is useless and will only increase your worries.

    Zhao Hao then calmed down and sat by the stove outside. While taking care of the fire, he silently wrote the tutorial for the next class for his disciples.

    ??~~

    Three days later.

    The eldest princess¡¯s phoenix sedan arrived at the Fire Temple.

    Although the Fire Temple is called a temple, it is dedicated to the True Lord of Fire Virtue in the South of Taoism, and it belongs to the lower courtyard of Baiyun Temple.

    The Taoist priest who presides over this place was a Taoist priest from Xiao Penglai more than ten years ago.  Because he often helped the eldest princess to carry water and water the flowers, she got this good fortune.

    Hearing that His Highness had arrived, the fat Taoist Master Wang hurriedly came out to welcome him.  Also accompanying him was the jade master Lu Zigang who was staying here.

    Master Lu did not show the slightest surprise at the arrival of the eldest princess, and respectfully invited His Highness in step by step.

    The eldest princess first lit incense in the Fire Ancestor Hall, then came to the Jade Emperor Pavilion to rest.

    Knowing that His Highness was looking for Lu Zigang today, Taoist Wang wisely withdrew after serving tea.

    "Thank you so much, Master, for what happened that day."

    The eldest princess then said to Lu Zigang with a smile: "I'm really embarrassed to have you act with me."

    Lu Zigang said in his heart that he didn't see any embarrassment at that time.

    "However, Her Majesty the Princess, in order to let her first love untie the unnecessary knot, is actually willing to go out of her way, and Lu Zigang has to admire her.

    He shook his head slightly and said: "His Highness said something serious, not to mention that I am not acting. The person I am talking about is real."??

    "Oh?" The eldest princess looked at Lu Zigang in surprise when she heard this and said, "You still think that the master is telling Zhao Lang."

    "That's not the case. Her name is Xiu Niang. Liu Shang Palace may still have some impression of her." Lu Zigang looked at the middle-aged palace maid standing beside him and said, "I heard from Eunuch Chen that you were selected into the palace in the same batch."

    "Xiu Niang?" Liu Shanggong recalled carefully, shook his head apologetically and said, "We were very nervous when we entered the palace. We didn't dare to talk to each other. We were assigned to various places before we got to know each other well."

    "That's it" Lu Zigang smiled slightly disappointedly, then took out a brocade box from his arms and offered it with both hands.

    "Your Highness, the jade pendant has been closed."

    Liu Shanggong took it, opened the brocade box and presented it to the eldest princess.

    I don¡¯t know what method Lu Zigang used to repair the jade pendant as intact as ever, as if ¡®Shou Zheng¡¯ and ¡®Ning An¡¯ had never been separated.

    The eldest princess picked up the round jasper pendant and looked at it in the sunshine. Still no flaws could be seen on it.

    "It's really amazing." The eldest princess was extremely satisfied. She happily put the jade pendant away close to her body, and then smiled at Lu Zigang and said, "Master, you have been of great help this time. Don't worry about your affairs. I will advise the emperor the next time you enter the palace.  Brother, let me let you go back to Suzhou."

    "Then I will thank His Highness in advance!" Lu Zigang said happily after hearing this: "I am old, even if I am in Suzhou, I can still carve jade for His Majesty, and I don't have to stay in the palace."

    The eldest princess nodded and said with empathy: "Yes, that kind of place is too depressing for people like the master."

    ??~~

    It is true that Lu Zigang was invited by Emperor Longqing, but most of the craftsmen who worked for him and the jade materials used came from the imperial shop in Beijing.

    Because of their fate, the eldest princess has taken good care of Lu Zigang for nearly a year, and the two have become friends every year.

    Seeing that Zhao Lang still refused to enlighten him, the eldest princess unexpectedly asked Lu Zigang for help.  It happened that Lu Zigang also wanted to ask the eldest princess for help and persuade Emperor Longqing to let him return to Suzhou After the old man knew that his childhood sweetheart had died in the Forbidden City, he felt suffocated every time he entered the palace.

    That day, she asked Lu Zigang to wait at Yinding Bridge, and she took Zhao Shouzheng all the way to find him, and that was how they reunited sixteen years later.

    ¡°Otherwise, there¡¯s no such thing as a coincidence.
