Chapter 276: Zhong Xiucai
But it was a very different test for him as an ancient.
Because he has been learning ancient sayings since he was a child, he didn't feel how condescending he was, but after getting used to it, he felt that this was probably the ancients' resentment that the writing of calligraphy was too slow.
And he has the advantage of later generations' cultural interpretation of his predecessors, so that he is always a small level higher than the people of this era in terms of the topic and idea of the article.
His teacher was never worried about his articles.
The loss is that the poems and songs in the back only occupy less than 20% of the score, otherwise he will most likely be dragged back by the poems and fall into the mediocre generation.
This exam paper, which was relatively simple in Mai Fan's eyes, took him a whole day.
The first or two trials of this show have passed, and the rest is the torturous waiting period.
The people of the Xue family have been extremely impetuous these days, and the whole family, except for Mai Fan, has fallen into an inexplicable anxiety.
Even Xue Baochai, who was only eight years old, stopped thinking about learning housekeeping from his mother.
Every day, I held a book of poetry and stared at my brother who was studying seriously in a daze.
"Brother, aren't you worried at all?"
Mai Fan looked at his sister who was as white as jade snow and smiled: "Worry, as long as you are a person who has taken the exam, how can you not worry about your grades." ”
"However, I've already come out of the exam room, what's the use of worrying now?"
"It's better to hurry up and read the new knowledge to prepare for the next exam. ”
"Sister, you must remember that if you are really worried, you will study weekdays. ”
"When it came time for the exam, I really did my best. ”
"If you still fail the test, it means that your study method may be wrong. Changing the teacher, changing the way of answering the questions, or changing the font is all too late to correct. ”
"After all, you can take the imperial examination twice in three years. ”
"It's not a one-shot deal. ”
"But if you haven't worked hard since the beginning, what's the use of worrying about death now?"
"Relax and wait for the news to come. ”
Speaking of this, Mai Fan couldn't help but glance at his sister again, didn't hold back, touched the top of the other party's hair that only combed two buns, and admonished: "You said that you are young, and there are really a lot of things to worry about." ”
"In our family, we have a father on top, a family behind us, and no matter how bad it is, there is my brother, who is three or four years older than you, in front of me. ”
"You are a girl's family, as long as you want to be favored by your father and brother. ”
"In this world, only the time of being a girl can be relaxed for a few days. ”
"You're in our house, isn't it okay to be a little young lady who doesn't worry about anything?"
"There are really things that you can't figure out, and you can't get over the hurdles, you just need to remember that you also have a brother-in-law who will support you in the future. ”
Just these few words, Xue Baochai was in tears.
She didn't know why, she always felt that such a good day was like an illusion like a flower in the water, and she was afraid that when she woke up, it was just in a dream.
But now, Xue Baochai couldn't help but rub her brother's hand, this warm and down-to-earth feeling made her feel at ease.
"I understand, brother, I believe you. ”
This Xue Baochai showed a bright smile just now, and saw that Mai Fan's scholar changed the demeanor of the servants in the past, and rushed into Mai Fan's courtyard like a gust of wind.
Thanks to the fact that he still remembered the last physique, he didn't dare to break into Mai Fan's study easily, but he yelled at Mai Fan with a little excitement and eagerness outside: "Young Master!
"Young Master! We won! We won! Second place! Such a rank can have the qualification to enter the county school for further study, and can directly obtain the title of a student. ”
"The young master of our family, not only will he not have to pay public grain in the future, but the yamen will also send grain and rice to our young master. ”
Mai Fan's show off like this made Xue Baochai laugh out loud at once.
What kind of family is their family, how have they ever worried about rice, flour, grain and oil?
It's just that I really didn't expect that my brother was only eleven and less than twelve years old, and he had already earned the name of Xiucai.
What my brother just said would support her as a girl...... Thinking of this, Xue Baochai inexplicably calmed down.
It doesn't seem like it's impossible.
Mai Fan got the news from the scholar, and naturally the whole courtyard got a circle of rewards.
And Xue Jue, the head of the Xue family, who got the news one step earlier than Mai Fan, can be regarded as finding a reason to celebrate, that is, according to his own housekeeper and the outside steward, he lit this firecracker.
There was also an outside porter who did nothing but distribute large sums of money at the door to those who came to see the commotion.
This Xue Jue is a royal businessman in the end, even if he makes money, he is not full of copper smell like an upstart.
He didn't let people spill the big money on the ground, but when he saw a person who had never taken the money in his hand, he stuffed a palm-sized red envelope into the other person's hand.
There is no more or no less in this red envelope, only six coins are put in, and the six or six good fortunes are auspicious, in order to pray for a pair of children of his Xue family, and what he asks for is the health of the children and the happiness of the family.
This time, the status of people is much more equal.
Those who take the money already live not far from Xue Mansion, and the people who can live in the surrounding area are not in difficult circumstances.
Now that I have gained this respect, it is naturally a good word to send out.
I heard in the gossip that the young master of the Xue family took the name of a showman at a young age, and he was even more envious and did not forget to praise the other party.
It's just an afternoon, and the fact that the Xue family's Xue Pan has achieved the fame of talent at the age of a teenager has spread throughout Jinling City.
Those who were good friends with the Xue family or some of the leaders couldn't help but be taken aback.
It's really that the young master of the Xue family usually doesn't show up in front of outsiders.
But this appearance shocked everyone's attention.
Let's not talk about the age of Xiucai, just say that I can achieve the second place in the Southern Science Examination at the peak of my literary style, which is not necessarily something that even those scholarly children with several generations of background can not guarantee.
Why let a merchant's child get such a ranking?
What kind of style is that young man named Xue Pan?
All of a sudden, Xue Pan became a child in other people's mouths, and many people wanted to see what was so special about him.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
