"Whether I can pass the test or not, I don't have anything myself, but how can I stand the eyes of the people around me?"

Yuan Wenlin shook his head, looking very distressed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Shuo understood his statement.

Yuan Zhongdao is a great Confucian in the world, famous all over the world, and several grandsons have also learned something, if Yuan Wenlin stops at lifting people and is slow to make progress, it is inevitable that he will be treated differently.

Strange eyes, hidden discussions, one day or two days are fine, after a long time, who can bear it?

Sometimes, what defeats oneself is often not the wavering of one's own will, but the eyes of others, and the guilt caused by disappointing those close to them.

The difference in identity and status pushes people forward, and people have to abide by this rule, just because people are social people, not independent individuals.

Seeing that because of his words, the expressions of the two friends became serious, Yuan Wenlin couldn't help but smile.

"What kind of eyes do you have? I can't be pitied...... Compared with Wei Zhou, although there is an exam to be taken when I come to Jingshi, there is no one to discipline me here, and you close friends are with you, which is much better than staying in the academy......"

After that, he smiled indifferently.

Lu Shuo laughed, but there was something wrong in his heart.

He thought of Yuan Wenlin, who was so young that he held a sword and made great ambitions.

Yuan Wenlin Zhi was not in the imperial examination, but he barely passed, and he would not be happy when he thought about it.

But what can be done? How can a person live a lifetime and everything will go well!

It may be a painful experience to think about now, but after this stage, it will become a valuable experience.

Because of this, Lu Shuo did not persuade him.

Although the old man's ideas are stubborn and difficult to understand in the eyes of young people, sometimes they have to admit that with more experience and failure, the old man's advice is very necessary to be considered.

The three of them were silent for a while, then they talked about something else, and the carriage continued, and after a while, it stopped in front of Lu's house.

Yuan Wenlin is not young, no different from an adult, Lu Yun and Lu Fang received him personally, and then arranged by the Yuan family to live in front of Zhiyuan.

On the second day, Yuan Wenlin carefully trimmed it, and Lu Shuo took him out of the door.

The car stopped in front of the drunken building, and as soon as the three of them got out of the car, a person dressed as a small servant came down and smiled and saluted the three of them.

It is the personal novel Twilight Rain by Zhou Mao's side.

"The young master has already booked a private room, and the three sons will go up even smaller!"

The three of them nodded, led by the twilight rain in front, and after a while they went upstairs and entered the wings.

There was a lot of space in the wing, and Zhou Mao was sitting at the dining table at this time, staring at the few rolls of paper spread out on the table in a daze.

"Senior brother!"

The three people who came in called out in unison and bowed respectfully.

"What are you doing so politely, come and see ......"

As soon as Zhou Mao raised his head, he directly beckoned the three of them to look at it, and showed the file in his hand to the three of them.

"What is this?"

When Lu Shuo and Sun Zhe looked at this dossier, they immediately realized what it was, and they were immediately ecstatic.

Only Yuan Wenlin was still out of the situation, and asked stupidly.

"This is Lu Shixin's life's work, as well as the township sample papers produced by him in previous years......"

Although his question was stupid, Lu Shuo was not impatient, and then explained.

Yuan Wenlin suddenly realized.

This Lu Shixin, isn't he the president who will try this year?

Daqi followed the practice of the imperial examination in the Song Dynasty, and set up four chief examiners during the examination, all of whom were called presidents, among which the most senior and the most knowledgeable were the first of the main examiners.

This Lu Shixin, who was born in the two lists of Jinshi when he was the first emperor, was a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and had the deepest qualifications, and was personally appointed by Emperor Hui Chong as the chief examiner of the examination.

According to the cases of previous years, this examiner was elected by the Ministry of Rites, Lu Shixin has a body of knowledge, but he is not good at mundane things, and his connections have not been extensive, so the quota for this main examination is naturally not his turn.

It's just that, perhaps frightened by the situation of the Ministry of Rites in the past two successive sessions, Emperor Hui Chong crossed the Ministry of Rites this time and directly appointed the chief examiner, which can be said to be a slap in the face of the Ministry of Rites, and at the same time announced to the world that this time the test must not be sloppy or cheating.

"So comprehensive, where did the senior brother find it?"

Lu Shuo flipped through it back and forth, and couldn't help but admire it again and again.

Even if the Lu family has a wide network in Beijing and has four assistants, it is not easy to find such comprehensive information.

Such a volume of things, which doesn't look like much, is of great help to the examination conducted by Lu Shixin this time.

After all, whether it is a paper or an answer sheet, there is a large degree of subjectivity.

Therefore, the examiner's political inclination and literary ideas are very important to the candidates who take the examination.

This time, the four people present were all going to participate in the examination, saying that they were friends, but because of the limited number of places in the imperial examination, they were more like competitors.

Zhou Maoneng took out such a precious thing to share at this juncture, and his character had to be admired and respected.

Thinking of this, the three of them glanced at each other, stood up together, and slammed at Zhou Maochang to the end.

"What are you doing here......

Before the three of them bent down, Zhou Mao hurriedly helped them up, with a blame on his face.

"Senior brother, this is what you deserve!"

Seeing that they insisted on this, Zhou Mao couldn't stop him anymore, and he took it firmly.

After pacifying the three of them and sitting down again, Zhou Mao continued: "It is difficult to collect all these things, but my uncle has always had the habit of collecting books, and he has saved them over time...... It's just a gesture, and besides, we have such a relationship, so I don't deserve your thanks!"

When Lu Shuo heard Zhou Liangfu's hobby, his eyes couldn't help but flash when he thought of his identity as a secretary and the news that Lu Yun revealed to him in the second half of last year.

It's really hard to say whether these books are really a hobby, or to find clues from them......

However, Zhou Liangfu is Zhou Liangfu and Zhou Mao is Zhou Mao, Lu Shuo naturally will not mix Zhou Mao with Zhou Liangfu because of his absurdity.

But thinking of what Zhou Liangfu did, Lu Shuo endured a few endurances, and finally gave up the idea of revealing it to Zhou Mao because the test was approaching.

Let's take it slowly!

He thought.

Confessing at this time is not a good thing for Zhou Mao, if it affects his performance, it will be bad!

Let's wait until it's over......

Thinking of this, Lu Shuo returned to his normal face and continued to bow his head and discuss with Zhou Mao and the others.

After reading the whole article, the four of them discussed it carefully, and they only felt that they had gained a lot, and they had almost understood Lu Shixin's general thoughts.

When the discussion was over, it was already dark outside, and Lu Shuo and the three of them calmly returned to the house with the copied dossier.
