Chapter 193: Unveiling the List (2)
Chapter 193
Wei Qian didn't sell Guanzi, "Ming Jing and Jinshi are the top three on the first list." ”
"So what is the number one?"
With Cui Kuang's temperament, even if he gets a second, he feels aggrieved!
"Ming Jing is the leader, and Jinshi is the second. Wei Qian saw that her face was not good when she heard this, and comforted, "Most children of his age are just in contact with Shiwen and poetry, but his articles have covered thousands of Haoshou poor people, why bother to fight for this star, the day before yesterday, he was already the leader, and tomorrow other subjects will be released, if he can take the lead, he can expect to be the champion in the palace test the day after tomorrow." ”
There is a saying that "thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi", Cui Kuang can be regarded as the second in the Jinshi Department at a young age, which is unprecedented.
"The top ten on each list are eligible to enter the palace examination, and the palace examination is generally the examination of the text, which is similar to the Jinshi Branch. Unlike the Jinshi examiner, the saint sometimes asks questions himself. Therefore, the Jinshi list is a must, if you can't get the top spot, you may not be able to get past the top of the Jinshi if you start from somewhere else. ”
Hearing this, Cui Ning sighed, "That's right, the fifth brother was also the leader of the mathematics exam that year!"
Wei Qian smiled, "Because I am the first person to take the mathematics exam and get good grades, it is just strange for others to see it. ”
"The little brother's article is better than what the fifth brother wrote!" Cui Ning didn't understand this, but in her heart, even the genius Cui Guo couldn't compare to Wei Qian's.
"He is walking on Huanghuang Avenue, and I am a sword on the side. "A person like him, who has a clear distinction between right and wrong and can't rub sand in his eyes, is really not fit to be in power.
Wei Qian saw that the little girl was worried about her younger brother, so he helped her into the carriage.
to the home. Cui Ning went to greet her parents first, and saw that the two of them were happy at the corners of their eyebrows and eyes. But Cui was the only one who couldn't see it.
Cui Ning asked for peace and hurriedly ran to Cui Guo's house, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw him wearing a vermilion wide sleeve lazily crooked on the couch. The maid held the mirror in front of herself, frowning and looking fascinated.
"What's going on?" Cui Ning was surprised, looked into the mirror, and stared at his face carefully, "You want to look at my face! ”
Cui Guan stroked his slender eyebrows and sighed, "Second sister, you said that I am so good-looking, will I be ordered by His Majesty to explore flowers?"
It is true that all previous Tanhua were born with good looks, but this is too narcissistic! Cui Ning sneered. "Pull it down!"
"It's not unfounded, I've seen it, and now I'm the best looking in the list. Cui Kuang was annoyed by his beauty, and waved his hand to order the maid to take the mirror away.
"I'm worried that you will be unhappy if you get a second one, and you will come to see you without even changing your official uniform!" Cui Ning sat down on the couch and collapsed as if he had unloaded his bones, even lazier than Cui Guo.
"The ruler is short and the inch is long, and I am not the person who is strong everywhere, I have to be better than others. Cui Guo sighed again.
Cui Ning thought he was still worried about his beauty. "Don't be entangled, you're still a hairy child, just looking at your skin, you can say 'pink carving', but you are a dull body. The old man is general, he doesn't look pleasing to him, where can he compare to those personable gentlemen?"
Cui Kuang was still looking in the mirror and picking on his beauty. Now that I am being talked about, I am not happy again. Then he glanced at her, "How else to say that I am blind with a pair of big eyes!"
Cui Ningqi's cheeks bulged. "Look at me, will you persuade you in the future!"
"Are you so persuasive?" Cui said dissatisfiedly, "Besides, that's not what I'm thinking." ”
Cui Ning pursed her lips, "You're about to become a sperm, if you don't say it, who has the ability to know what you think all day long!"
Cui Guan glanced at her, and his eyes turned on the green official uniform, "Anyway, it's an indisputable fact that I'm good-looking, and if I really get a tanhua because of this, I will admit it, but do you know how many people are staring at me, and how many people are stretching their necks and waiting for the results of the palace test." They're much more anxious than I am. ”
"You mean the scholar clan ......" Cui Ning understood, Cui Guo was not his decision to take the imperial examination alone.
Over the years, the power in the hands of the gate lord clan has been repeatedly swallowed up by the imperial power, and many once prosperous clans have begun to decline. The gate valves fell into decline one by one, and the few remaining families were all worried, because even if the nobles of the family still had privileges, Cui Guo entered the officialdom from the imperial examination like ordinary people, which was the Cui family's compromise with the imperial power, and it was also a temptation.
The Shi clan is arrogant in their bones, even if they compromise, it is impossible to grovel all at once, Cui Kuang is not the eldest son of the eldest son and is young, which makes people feel a little impulsive and stubborn with a young man, this is the Cui family's euphemistic lowering posture, so as not to make the saint feel that their sudden change of attitude is ill-intentioned.
Cui Guan touched his face, "I'm the champion of nine out of ten." ”
Why? With his young genius! With his holy master, he can't compete with the scholars now!
Cui Ning was almost speechless, and glared at him, "You knew that the result was still here and moaning without illness!"
"After all, I can't get this name with real skills. Cui Guan was very nervous, "Those people came up from the township test and the solution test all the way, all with their true skills, but they were benefited by me because of the struggle for power." ”
"If you are a straw bale, even if the saint has the heart to give face to the scholars, he can't order you to be the champion, and everyone in the world is blind?" Cui Ning really can't understand this kind of genius thinking, according to such a simple thing, how can he not figure it out as a person who is so fine!
Cui sighed faintly, "Let's put it this way, with my real talent, I may not be able to be the champion, but there is this thing in it, no matter how much I know, it always makes people feel that there is something else in it, as if I am not worthy of the name of the champion." ”
"Are you willing to make chess pieces for them, what kind of strength are you going to do with this! Besides, there are five brothers, Cousin Ling, and Cousin Xie before you?"
Wei Qian and Ling Ce are just that, the Wei family takes a clear route, and it is not an old scholar clan, the Ling family is an emerging clan, and its actions should change from time to time, and they have always been more obedient to the imperial power since the opening of the Tang Dynasty. But the Xie family is a real old family, even if it is declining. There are few people in the clan who are high-ranking officials, and it cannot be denied that it has a glorious past. is still firmly in the top ten of "Clan Tree".
"Can it be the same?" The Xie family wants to recover, and it is natural for them to follow the trend, and the Cui family is Zhengxuanhe, and the saint will think more about any move. Cui Guan said upsetly, "Now that I've done everything, don't you want me to say a few words?"
He is the kind of person who calculates the time to be the champion, how can he not think about it because of this? He is just venting the little discomfort in his heart, he is embarrassed to talk in front of his grandfather and parents, and he can't say a few words to his eldest sister. I could only whisper a few words to Cui Ning in private.
After a few days, the results of the temple examination came out.
Sure enough, as Cui Guo expected, he became the youngest champion in the history of the Tang Dynasty, and at a young age, he even occupied the top spot in several subjects.
Cui Kuang's articles on the Jinshi Department took a calm route, which were not as good as the old scholars who had studied Shiwen for many years, and the articles written by the palace were novel and sharp, and they were on an equal footing with the style of the Jinshi's leader. When he asked questions, he was clever and clever, and his reply was wonderful, and the saint praised him on the spot, "The country has this son." God bless Datang, it is really an auspicious omen", Cui Kuang suddenly became the mascot of Datang.
So much so that Cui Guo crossed the horse on the day of the street. The water around the ten-mile-long street is impassable, and there are more people who saw Xie Yang last year. Such a situation. There is no such thing as a "spring breeze and horseshoe disease", and even driving the horse forward has to rely on the escort to open the way.
The juvenile champion is a good story. And the happy event of the Cui family is not only that, this has just passed the champion parade on the street, but it has come to Cui Jing's wedding date.
Cui Ning took three days off in advance to help at home, but on the day of the wedding, she was still busy. It's not that the Cui family is not fully prepared, but the curiosity of the Chang'an people who are really underestimated, whether it is the guests at the banquet or the people surrounding the mansion, they don't want to see Tang Xiangrui with their own eyes, especially today is Ling Ce who came to greet his relatives, and the best man is also two champions.
is talented, most of the poems are played on the spot, three young and handsome champion poems clash, frequent good sentences, don't talk about others, even the Cui family themselves look at it and find it very interesting. And Ling Ce's hypnotic poems and fan poems were prepared in advance, much more perfect than the ready-made, and his happy day was finally not overshadowed by others.
Cui Ning secretly wiped her sweat, not for anything else, Wei Qian said that his strength was not in poetry.
Taking advantage of the limelight of Cui Jingzhong's champion and the wonderful poetry duel, Cui Jing's marriage can be described as grand and unprecedented, even if others talk about it many years later, only his sister Cui Ning's wedding can be beaten.
After being tired for a few days, Cui Guan lay down again, and when he recovered his strength, he asked his mother to go to Pei's house to propose to him, Pei Ying, the ninth mother of the Pei family, was he who had taken a good look at him early in the morning.
After a little discussion at home, they felt that this marriage was feasible, but Pei Ying was too young, several years younger than Cui Ning! Fortunately, the circle of noble ladies is not large, and the Ling family asked Mrs. Pei's meaning tactfully.
Cui Guo was born noble, and his own talent and character were praised by the saint himself, and many families paid attention to him, but they just thought that he was still young, and it was a little too early to inquire now, but it seemed that his daughter was not valuable, and the Pei family may not have this mind.
Mrs. Pei heard about the Cui family's inquiry at first glance, and she was both happy and surprised, happy that this was indeed a good family business, and she was surprised that Pei Ying, who the Cui family had noticed somehow, had revealed her meaning so early.
Needless to say, Pei Ying's background is the daughter of a big family, but she is not outstanding in the Pei family, she is young now, and she is very pleasing in vain, and she can be seen from her facial features.
Mrs. Pei thought that what she expected was good, if the Ling family had a fancy for their daughter, they would never reveal their meaning so early.
In this way, as soon as the Pei family summed up, this marriage was very good, and it also revealed the meaning of being willing to get married. The Cui family got the letter, and after making some preparations, they asked the matchmaker to propose marriage.
A generation of prodigies who have not yet grown up with a beautiful man is so quickly married, and everyone regrets that they all have the same idea as Mrs. Pei, and no one can think of Cui Guo giving him a good daughter-in-law a few years ago.
