Chapter 230: Rotten Wood Can Be Carved

The pale blue sky has a few remnant stars left. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Outside the window, it was hazy, as if shrouded in a silver-gray light veil.

Mao time.

On the eve of dawn.

The charcoal fire in the stove burned out.

- "Ge Lao, this method of 'agent sales' and 'franchising'...... It's amazing, it's wonderful!"

After listening to Liu Xin's description, Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but be amazed.

Liu Xin stroked his long gray beard, bowed his chin and said: "Lelang's 'business plan', if it is not wonderful and wonderful, how can Kuanfu 'learn from it'?"

He deliberately accented the word "borrowing", and glanced at Wen Yanbo mischievously.

Wen Yanbo knew that he was wrong, lowered his head, hurriedly pretended to sort out the manuscript, and was silent and did not answer.

Ouyang Xiu smiled and sighed again: "A man who is only twelve or thirteen years old, how did he come up with this?"

"He does have a lot of wild ideas. Sima Guang said indifferently and impartially.

"It's not that he's whimsical, it's that I've been waiting too long in a stagnant court. ”

Ouyang Xiu suddenly remembered what he heard in front of the Peony Pavilion that day, the conversation between Liu Xin and Chai Jue, and couldn't help but feel unhappy for "Le Lang", and said to Liu Xin with expectations: "Such a genius, if you can't serve the imperial court, isn't it a pearl secretly invested?"

Liu Xin picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and was silent.

In order to win over Sima Guang to the editorial department, he made up a lot of "stubborn deeds" of "Lelang" in front of him. At this time, he openly agreed with Ouyang Xiu's words, didn't he slap himself in the mouth?

Wang Anshi interjected: "The younger generation agrees with what Lord Ouyang said, An Guohou has sharp eyes and a lot of wonderful ideas. The most commendable thing is his eclectic and pragmatic going to China. If it can be used by the imperial court, it is an excellent thing for the people and society. ”

"Le Lang is actually not stupid in nature, and he can even be regarded as smart...... "This time, even Sima Guang agreed. However, he thought about it, and finally shook his head and regretted: "It's a pity that I am too lazy, and I have the title of 'the first straw bag of official learning'...... If he can work the scriptures, it will not be difficult to enter the office. ”

When he said this, Liu Xin, Ouyang Xiu and Wang Anshi couldn't stop nodding.

- "Huh. ”

Coldly, a sneer came from Wen Yanbo's side.

Although Sima Guang is not very good at dealing with "Le Lang", he can't see Wen Yanbo's behavior of taking other people's ideas as his own and being justified. So he asked in a cold voice: "Since Master Wen is willing to 'borrow' from Le Lang's 'business plan', he is affirming his idea, why is he sneering?"

"Do you know what his annual exam results are?"

Wen Yanbo asked rhetorically.

The annual examination he said is a new attempt at government learning, and it is an annual assessment test set up with reference to the Yucai Academy. A test paper is produced for each course, and the method of "obfuscating the name" is adopted to seal the name to be tested to ensure the fairness of the marking paper.

Among these five people, Wen Yanbo had to teach in the official school, so they naturally didn't know.

"There are a total of eight exams, each of which is divided into four levels: A, B, C and D, guess how many 'Ding' he has taken. Wen Yanbo prompted.

Ouyang Xiu was more optimistic: "Three 'Ding'?"

Wen Yanbo pursed his lips and shook his head violently.

Wang Anshi is also quite confident in "Le Lang": "Four?"

Still shaking his head.

Liu Xin frowned and asked, "Six?"

Wen Yanbo let out a long sigh and continued to shake his head.

Sima Guang's eyes darkened, and he regretted that he had just spoken out for "Le Lang", and he asked tentatively: "Seven?"

Shake one’s head.

"Eight, are they all 'Ding'?"

Wen Yanbo was still shaking his head.

Liu Xin was aroused by him, and asked curiously: "After taking a total of eight courses, how can there be nine 'Ding' failures?"

"It's a 'ding'. ”

Wen Yanbo revealed.

The crowd was relieved.

Sima Guang laughed loudly and said: "There is only one 'Ding', which can be regarded as a rapid progress, rotten wood can still be carved, and rotten wood can be carved!"

Wen Yanbo glanced at him and said, "I haven't finished speaking, it's one 'ding' and seven 'decay'." ”
