Transmigrating To The Ming Dynastys Imperial Examination - Chapter 257

The people of Mount Zhu Zhi have been held at Cui’s house, and Cui Xie is responsible for the rest. Cui Xie asked Zhu Zhishan’s book boy and door to take a trip to the clubhouse with their own name cards, and the Lifu in the clubhouse brought Zhu Zhishan’s luggage and accompanying domestic servants.

Gu Lin and a few people who lived in the Suzhou Hall also took advantage of the opportunity of carrying luggage to watch the excitement. They passed on any news between the scholars, and soon the guild halls, guesthouses, and other people living in the nearby streets knew that Zhu Zhide was named Jinketong Examiner and Liangyuan Talent Cui Xie. Xu he moved to his home to study.

Li Zhaoxian, who went out for a walk, was also trapped by acquaintances and followed outside the Cui’s house.

When you arrive at your brother’s house, you are at your own house. It was someone else who took him before. When he got here, he turned over and became the master, waved his hand to greet those teenagers who wanted to enter but did not dare to enter: “Isnt it more rude to have already arrived at the house but didnt visit? Ill take you to do evil today. Guest, come forward and see what kind of talent my new disciple accepted.”

He took his classmates and stepped in. When the onlookers saw that someone else had entered, they all followed up boldly, and wanted to see what the home of the talents of Liangyuan and Dai was like.

There were only a cook and an old man in the house, and even the grooms were sent to the countryside, and no one greeted them. Cui Xie collected the manuscripts in the garden, and Zhu Yunming’s temporary concierge stood by the side door to receive the introduction, and introduced the Confucian scholars who came to see the excitement into the small courtyard arranged by Cui Xie for him.

After all, it was a house bestowed by God, and it was carefully cleaned up by Father Gao. The yard is small, but neat and tidy, with a full set of furniture made of good wood. Zhu Zhishan watched people put things into the bedroom and ordered the book boy to tidy up inside. He led the group of scholars in the yard…Standing temporarily, took out a purse, and asked Lifu to help order wine and dishes and entertain the guests.

Li Zhaoxian, who was the first to enter the door, stepped forward to stop him and said with a smile: “There is no reason to make guests spend money. Zhu Juren is a talented person in my brother’s favor. The distinguished guests enter the door. My brother must have arranged someone to prepare the banquet at this time, but there is no reason. Its up to me as a junior to make arrangements for him.”

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and put on a proficient posture to ask the store family to buy wine and vegetables, and then recruit a few young and handsome singers to accompany him.

A romantic gifted person must be accompanied by red sleeves, drinking and writing poetry!

In the past few years, Junior Brother Li has never lost his dream of poetry and wine. However, because the senior brother always talked to his father about health preservation, his family was able to live an old life ahead of schedule, so a mad poet like him could not drink wine and could not see beautiful women. He was stunned into the poem, and what he wrote was the grievance of “Infinitely quiet and deep sleep, the first return of the noon dream of Rihua Pavilion”.

Now that the talented people in the courtyard have finally come to him and Sanwu…ten confidants to sit with the United States and chant poetry to the wine! It’s a pity that his senior is already a court official, so he must be impeached by Yushi for recruiting prostitutes, so he can only impeach some men.

Li Gongzi shook his head and sighed while digging out the silver, and handing out the embroidered pouch, but he was asked to stop halfway, and a loud voice sounded like a spring hitting a rock, pulling him back from the gifted dream.

“Where can you spend money at brother’s house.”

When Li Zhaoxian raised his eyes, he saw his senior brother Cui Xie, an expert in managing their father and son’s daily exercise regimen.

His age is not special among this group of scholars, and he does not wear official uniforms at home. The only two people who recognized him were here to pay for a treat, and the other without glasses, that he got into the crowd silently and silently, and accurately strangled Lord Li’s thoughts that he was fascinated by the crowd. .

Cui Xie put his purse back in his hand, turned around and smiled: “Since you are in the humble house today, the host Cui must do his best to entertain him. The guest house is narrow, so let me sit in the main house.”

Before he became an official, he also hired a few prostitutes to serve wine at the banquet. After becoming an official, he paid more attention to the image of incorruptibility. He didn’t care about any prostitutes and chants. He only asked the scholars to use poems and wine to show their creativity. He is the master and the current house teacher. The new talents are a little restrained in front of him, and they dare not force him to write poems. As long as he sits as the first critic of poems, lets talk about it. A few questions about Zhu Zi’s philosophical theory are enough.

Cui Xie couldn’t write poems, he could still comment on poems. Whenever someone asked him, he would comment on two sentences, “Extraordinary consciousness, showcasing the mundane”, “Extraordinary language, and careful use of things”, which made the talented people satisfied.

Such a banquet is really healthy and uplifting, it suits him too!

Zhu Zhishan also wrote and wrote poems at the meeting, showing off his talents in both poetry and book, and dumping the students in Beijing. Li Zhaoxian went to the crowd and read the poem several times, and then looked at Zhu Zhishan as if he had seen a beautiful woman. He leaned in front of Cui Xie and sighed: “Brother is really good at picking up people. The Henan talent Li Mengyang whom Yu’s father liked!”

Who?

Li Mengyang?

Didnt it mean that Li Mengyangs relationship with Li Dongyang was not good, and he wrote a script to satirize Li Dongyang to suppress him? How could he become Li Dongyangs favorite talent again?

Cui Xie looked at Li Zhaoxian in confusion, but his younger brother thought he had never heard of Li Mengyangs name, so he approached him and introduced in a low voice: “Li Mengyangs character for Ji Xian is the source of the Shaanxi Provincial Examination, and his talent is excellent. Father. I have read his poems and used the method of frustration and insertion. There is a true rhyme in Tang poetry, which is not something that an ordinary good Tang poet can get by learning from word to rhyme.”

Teacher Li is indeed a good teacher who is broad-minded and willing to support younger generations. Look back at Li Mengyang and see what kind of person he is.

But it doesn’t matter what his character is. Anyway, he only occupies two or three pages in the history of ancient literature, and he has not been a big official. It’s true that the master and apprentice pinched their eyes, and Duoer is also the leader of Li Dongyang!

Cui Xie felt relieved after thinking about it. After reading the poems full of poems, he glanced at Junior Brother Li, who was easy to get talented people away, and asked, “Is Junior Brother and Mengyang have a lot of friendship?”

Junior Brother Li would like to have it, but unfortunately they will be able to test their sons. He is a young Confucian who has not yet been tested as a scholar and has a different identity from others, so he didn’t climb the hand in so quickly.

After hearing this, Cui Xie shook his head and sighed: “My teacher thinks that you are weak and dare not push you. I didn’t want to force you in the past. I only teach you poetry and books to survive. But as you get older, you have to talk to outsiders. When we make friends with talented scholars, which one of the talented scholars we have met is not famous? Your teacher is already a scholar at the age of yours, but you are only a Confucian boy. Don’t you feel uncomfortable when interacting with people?”

It must be uncomfortable, but Junior Brother Li is dizzy!

He didn’t perform well when he entered the examination room. This year, he caught up with the cold spring when he was taking the test. It was cold rain all day on the day of the hospital test, and almost chilled him out. Why didn’t Teacher Li feel distressed? What’s more, Junior Brother Li just wanted to be a romantic and talented person, and his thoughts were devoted to poetry, and the collection of poems was almost finished, and the collection of examination questions had not been written from the beginning.

Li Zhaoxians heart was as hot as a gifted sing, and he sighed: “My younger brother has the same idea. Its just that my younger brothers practice has always been poor. If my brother can teach me to get it, Zhaoxian would like to write poems for my brother. Thank you.”

…This kid is too straightforward!

Is he the kind of person who teaches him well so that his junior can write poems for him and be a gunman!

Cui Xie slapped the table abruptly: “Senior brother, dont talk about it. This year, my two brothers have just passed three childrens exams. Before the exam, I also set a review chart for them. If the younger brother can trust me, I will call them when their brothers return to Beijing. They and Brother Heling will help you adapt to the examination room!”

Junior Brother Li heard him sincerely, and on an impulse, he replied “OK”!

After the evening poem meeting, Zhu Zhishan stayed in Cui’s house, while Li Zhaoxian rode back to Li’s house leisurely. Until the next afternoon, his father came back and asked him with a smile: “You told your brother to prepare for the hospital exam and asked him to help you prepare for the exam? When he was on duty today, he specifically told me that you should pack a few pieces of your usual clothes. Moved to his house, its easy to use during the night at his house.

Li Zhaoxian stared at his father and asked, “What? I never heard that I was moving to the brother’s house!”

Li Dongyang glanced at him and explained with a smile: “Your brother doesn’t always stay with you. He wants to set up a test shed at home to prepare you for the’mock test’. He is afraid that you will answer slowly and will not be able to go home before the curfew. , You must be prepared to stay overnight.”

and many more! Why is the mock exam at this time! Shouldn’t it be time to give lectures first, and then be locked in the little black examination booth two or three months before the test!

Li Zhaoxian saw Cui Xie locked up in a small dark room for two days for a test. From doing the questions during the day to the night, he found it hard to look outside. It’s only in the first ten days of March, and he has to go in and suffer. When will he have to get ahead?

Do not! He can delay for another half a year!

He pulled his father’s sleeves and said filially and obediently: “My son is still waiting for my father to appreciate the poem…”

His father patted his hand with a smile, and said ruthlessly: “Jinke Xu Ge Laoyao Guan chooses custards, and I should teach those who are selected. Among them are many talented scholars who are good at poetry. The poet, there are more friends in North Korea who can give me poems as rewards. My son does not have to worry about my father.”

But father, dont you worry about your son

Li Zhaoxian was full of panic and panic. Seeing his father arranged for someone to clean up his old clothes, he sent him to the Cui Mansion as decisively as he was a person.

On March 15th, the court was right, and Mao Cheng, Xu Mu, and Luo Qinshun were selected as the top three, ninety people headed by Gu Qing in the second one were the Jinshi, and the remaining 205 were the same Jinshi. Xu Pu, a bachelor of the university, asks to open the library to choose Shujishi, and every subject will be tested in the future, which is customized.

The emperor of Hongzhi was approved immediately. He ordered the cabinet, officials, and rituals to take the exam. Twenty concubines including Huiyuan Wang Jun and Chuanxu Gu Qing were selected and taught by Li Dongyang and Fu Han.

For such a major event that can receive the hearts of the world’s scholars, Older Liu didn’t rush to sign the memorial and take his own credit!

Xu Pu, Liu Jian, and Qiu Jun were a little surprised. They discussed the matter privately. They all felt that Liu Shoufu had developed an animation box in Jingli last year, as if he was addicted to health preservation and had nothing to do with Yue Gu in the duty room. Health-preserving skills, its not like Ive been slapped with blood like I used to think about impeaching this and that on the playbook.

Is it possible to practice exercises without the desire for power?

The three old patrons were amazed, and only hoped that Liu Mianhua would continue to take care of things and be his mascot quietly in the first assistant’s seat. Liu Shoufu also knew that they were talking about themselves behind their backs, but he only smiled and said to his confidant: “I have been a bachelor for 18 years, and I have been the first assistant for six years. What credit do I still take from others now? The cabinet depends on seniority. If I dont hand in my resignation, how long can I stay with this one?”

Xu Pu and Qiu Jun are older than him. At this time, they don’t know how to take care of their bodies. They worry about small things like custards all day long. Before anyone can squeeze them down, it’s time to return home! He is not the kind of person who doesn’t know the importance. First take advantage of this peaceful time to exercise his body. After a few years when the prince comes out of the pavilion, he will be ready to teach Cui Xie how to reconcile the two dynasties, and do two dynasties-or three dynasties-the old pavilion.

Liu Shoufu’s ambition to maintain his life is far-reaching. Because of the lack of his intervention in court affairs, he moved forward more cleanly and efficiently. Thanks to him, Cui Xie went to work much more leisurely than before. After finishing the official duties in the office every day, he could leave work a little earlier, staring at the masons building a special test shed at home.

In the old house of the Cui family, there is also a team of repair craftsmen who are renovating the house under the supervisor of Cui’s housekeeper and long-time follower, in preparation for the owner’s return to live.

When Cui Xie came out of the examination room, he was engaged to the Yang family and notified his grandmother. And a few days after the letter was sent back to his hometown, Cui Liangdong hurried back from his hometown with his family after the palace exam, and first went to the new house to deliver a letter to Cui Xie, saying that Mr. Cui was very satisfied with the marriage and he wanted to bring the old lady, The two sons returned to Beijing together and hosted the wedding in person.
