Pang Jiushan visited the small courtyard in Ning's apartment, then sat down in the living room and said, "Brother, you chose here, you should ask for learning." ”

This kind of thing that can be guessed by Hu Ran is really self-evident. The corners of Ning Du's eyes were white, which was a response.

"I don't know my brother's name yet. ”

"Ning Du. ”

"Brother Ning, I don't know which school you are going to be admitted to?"

Hu Ran knocked the melon seeds and said: "My young master said: Bailu Academy is more than pedant, but not enough. Don't learn. The Shenfeng Academy is more than majestic, but not bloody. Don't learn. Guangze Xuegong has more than enough arguments, but not enough courage. Don't learn. The green vine garden is more than calm, and the edge is insufficient. Learnable. ”

The usual smile on Pang Jiushan's face gradually retracted, revealing a thoughtful look. There are really not many people in the world who dare to make such a judgment on the four major colleges, most of them are eye-catching, and there are very few of them who can have real insight. The first time I heard Ning Du's comments, it was indeed a little arrogant, but when I thought about it carefully, it made sense.

In the past 20 years, the White Deer Courtyard has almost produced half of the civil officials, and has faintly become the first court in the world. The prosperity of the White Deer Courtyard really made the eyes of those people inside higher than the top, and the energy in their hearts gradually decreased. When people in the DPRK and China meet, the first thing they discuss is often which class of students they are in the White Deer Academy.

The Ming Dynasty prospered for three hundred years, since Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty opened up the territory, there was no war for more than 50 years, the generals were inevitably put on the shelf, there was no ambition but nowhere to display, all day long loudly mentioned the glory of the past, can only work on the majesty, it is inevitable to lose blood. Shenfeng Academy is full of young talents, and it is inevitable that they will be deeply affected.

The Glossy School Palace is known as the number of talented people in the world, and there are often amazing words coming out of it, and there are many outstanding people. However, there are too many factions, and in recent years, they have been intrigued, only making a fuss about words, and they are superficial, and there has not been a shocking event or a big man for a long time.

As for the Qingteng Garden, which is almost a nursing home, no matter what kind of person it is, when he is old, tired of fighting, and wants to teach and educate people, he will retreat here, miss the old things, and teach the Yangtze River the back waves. There are too many old people, and it is inevitable that there will be a sinking breath.

Hu Ran saw that the young master glared at him, and knew that he shouldn't talk too much, so he honestly ate melon seeds.

Suddenly, Pang Jiushan slapped the table and said sincerely: "Brother Ning, oh, no, Brother Ning, your remarks are really to the point! It's just that I don't know why Brother Ning thinks that Qingteng Garden can be learned in the end?"

Hu Ran wanted to speak again, glanced at the young master, and stuck out his tongue.

Ning Du said: "If you can learn, you can learn, there are not so many whys." ”

Pang Jiushan completely put down the shelf and said, "I don't know which hospital Brother Ning is recommending from?"

"Letter of recommendation, what?"

Pang Jiushan was stunned by Ning Du's question, and seeing that the other party did not have the slightest look of lying, he said: "If you want to apply for the four universities, you must first have a recommendation letter from a famous local academy or a celebrity, if the recommendation letter is not strong enough or written well enough, you will not even be qualified to take the exam." Every year, just the recommendation letters of these 100,000 candidates, the people of the four universities have to be screened for three days and three nights, and some of them will be eliminated. Brother Ning, you won't be without it, right?"

"Nope. ”

"That's too bad, the time to screen the letters of recommendation has passed, and the list of eligible candidates has come out. Brother Ning, you don't even know this, do you?"

"I don't know. ”

"That's too bad!"

Ning Du glanced at Pang Jiushan and said, "Then this is great, you can laugh if you want." ”

"Hahahaha! Brother Ning, this is really good!" Pang Jiushan finally couldn't help it, laughed, trembling all over, and almost collapsed the chair under his buttocks.

"Are you looking for me to take the exam for you?" Ning Du asked bluntly.

"Brother Ning is smart!"

"Why did you find me?"

Pang Jiushan put away his smile and said very seriously: "Do you know who is the person who invited you to dinner at the same table with you in the Hu La Soup Restaurant?"

"I don't know. ”

"Actually, I don't know very well, but the letter of recommendation in his hand is Mr. Jiangnan Xie. Pang Jiushan saw that Ning Du obviously didn't understand who Old Man Xie was, so he continued, "The Xie family in Jiangnan, the three generations of first assistants, and half of the literati are from their family. As far as I know, Mr. Xie has only written this letter of recommendation in his life, and it is for him. ”

"You were looking for him?"

"Hehe, such a person, I would never dare to ask him for the test. Originally, I just happened to meet that person, and I wanted to meet that person, but then I ran into you. ”

"Since he can invite me to dinner, it means that I deserve his invitation. And I'm a nameless pawn, so you want to ask me for the test. Ning Du said.

"Oh, Brother Ning, you can't say that! If you can also take the exam, I will naturally not let you give up your good future to take the exam for me. No, you can't take the test, ah? And I happen to be taking the Ivy Garden. Anyway, I don't want to learn, so you'll do it when the time comes. In any case, it is not a loss to study in Qingteng Garden for a year! I want a name, you want to be real, we take what we need! Hahahaha......"

Pang Jiushan didn't expect that he would be so lucky, and he happened to meet Ning Du, a person who could go to the exam, so he was naturally overjoyed.

"You don't believe me, but you believe in the person who invited me to dinner, or you believe in the old man Xie. ”

"Hehe, Brother Ning, I won't tell you, the person selected by Old Man Xie, no matter which school he chooses, I don't believe that he is not the leader of this year!"

Ning Du sorted out the relationship, thought for a while, and said, "How much is the cost of the test?"

"Brother Ning, I want to be a close brother with you. No, I can be your sidekick. Because Brother Ning, you are really much smarter than me. Pang Jiushan suddenly squeezed his eyes and laughed, completely lacking the arrogance and majesty at the mouth of the alley. "I don't lie to you, Brother Ning, this thing has a price. The imperial examination of our Ming Dynasty is divided into autumn and spring, and the autumn examination is a person, and the spring examination is a jinshi. What about the students of the four universities? They don't need to take the autumn exam, they can directly take the spring exam, and they will almost always pass. Although I have a few pennies in my pocket, I can buy a lifter, but I can't buy a jinshi. Those scholars who liked money but did not like merchants did not like us categorically. Selling me a lifter is the bottom line, and it will never be sold to me as a jinshi. ”

"You're rich enough, aren't you?

"Brother Ning, I just want a name. can be admitted to the Qingteng Garden, and can attract too much business. ”

"Understood. Although Ning Du said this, he still had doubts in his heart.

"Brother Ning, as long as you help me get this thing right, you will always be my big brother!" Pang Jiushan said with some excitement.

"I can take the test for you. ”

"Okay, Brother Ning, then we'll settle it!"

"That's it, fatty. ”

"Hahahaha...... I will be annoyed when others say that I am fat, but Brother Ning, you call me fat, and I listen to it very kindly. Brother Ning, I'll go first, I'll deal with this matter for you tonight, and promise that no one will bother you in the future. In the past two days, Brother Ning, you have prepared well, and I will talk to you about the exam tomorrow. ”

"Let's go, fatty, don't send it. ”

"Wait a minute, Brother Ning, you give me all the money you brought. Tonight, these people, the Eight Achievements, were found through the mark of righteousness on this silver ticket. This is three thousand taels, I only have so much on me, you use it first, and I'll send some tomorrow." After Pang Jiushan said this, he didn't hesitate anymore, waved his hand and left.

When Pang Jiushan left the courtyard, Hu Ran went out and locked the door, and when he came back, he asked in a low voice, "Young master, why did you go to the exam for the fat man?"

"Because he has money. ”

Hu Ran nodded, agreed with Ning Du's point of view, and asked again: "Then young master, do you know what the Qingteng Garden exams are?"

"It's none of my business, I'm just going to take the exam, anyway, I can get the exam for the fat man. ”

Hu Ran felt that it was right, and remembered one thing again: "Oh, by the way, young master, how did you know that there was someone behind the door?" Hu Ran's eyes were full of doubts. At that time, if the young master hadn't pulled her from behind, those two big men would definitely knock her out.

Ning Duxi laughed and said, "Because it's raining." ”

"What's wrong with the rain, why do you know there's someone behind the door when it's raining?" Hu Ran asked, but Ning Du had already closed his door. Hu Ran could only scratch his head, unable to understand what the young master meant.
