Chapter 21: It seems that the bet was lost
The first update
Ding Tong was still standing in a conspicuous place, with a rented donkey cart beside him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe little servants of the Hu family and the Xiao family are also very familiar with Ding Tong, so they naturally stand next to him, but behind them is a beautiful carriage, just by looking at the horses pulling the cart, you can know that they are from extraordinary backgrounds. But what they do at home, Zeng Fan didn't ask.
Speaking of which, Zeng Fan was the youngest among them, Zeng Fan was busy sending them to the car, Hu Liang and Xiao Jing were not polite to him, and after making an appointment to go back to the courtyard together tomorrow, they went home separately.
After Zeng Fan watched them get into the car, he got into the little donkey cart.
Ding Tong didn't say anything, put down the curtain for him, and sat on the wheel outside.
Zeng Fan slowly withdrew his smile in the carriage, and silently recited the article he had just written. He knew that he was not missing, and the master who studied had inquired about it, and the teacher of this year's examination was Master Shi'an of the Military Aircraft Department. The old man of the two dynasties was highly respected and deeply trusted by the emperor and the emperor. He hadn't been the examiner for years, and I really didn't know if they were lucky or unlucky.
An Daren likes Zhongping, as long as the article has something to say, there is no need for bells and whistles. But it's also the hardest. You must know that the exams are just drawn from the four books, and the explanations are also answered, which is Zhu Xi's "Four Books Commentary" in the Song Dynasty. Everything is limited to death. In 300 words, it is very difficult to write what the old man has in mind.
Today, all the people in the temple came out of the pile of articles, and there is no one who is not familiar with them. What's more, there are some people here who have taken the exam several times. The articles are all familiar, why can't I pass the exam again and again. It's just that it depends on whether your article can get into the eyes of the master and make him like it.
At the time of the examination, he was ranked twenty-four, which is considered a very good ranking. It's just that it's a palace test now, and it's really hard to say what kind of articles the emperor likes. Although he is not nervous these days, he is entangled. How to write an article.
In Yuelu Academy, after the exam, the gentleman of the academy will also discuss the likes and dislikes of Xuezheng before the exam, and will also take out the articles and poems of Xuezheng before, and everyone will read them together.
This time, too, the school spent a lot of money to invite the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy to be named, and the role of the people was reflected even at this time. Mr. An's likes and dislikes, several of them are well acquainted, so their rankings are good.
But no one dares to know the emperor's likes and dislikes, but the articles of the top three in the palace examination over the years have been kept in the courtyard for people to observe, Zeng Fan, Hu Liang, and Xiao Jing are also familiar with it, but it is better not to read it.
The emperor's preferences seem to have never been unified, and in the eighteen years of his reign, he presided over six major examinations, two Enke, a total of eight times. And each time the top three articles feature little in common.
Zeng Fan felt that he should find out the eight main exams and see what he could see, but he didn't have time, and he dare. In today's exam, he actually gambled. He wrote another article in a format that Mr. Ann liked. When I think about it, I feel ashamed in my heart, and I feel that I am not reading, but speculating. It seems that over the years, he has not really had his own style, and he has always done what he likes. How dare you say that you want to learn the way of a saint.
Zeng Fan is so entangled, and it is also because of Hu Liang, who has just been named, he can at least enter the top ten. Don't talk about how the Hu family is in the court, but Hu Liang's article is clear to him, and it can be said that he is brilliant. When he just got up to answer, he also looked like a talented man, and the emperor above seemed to nod frequently. This is the main reason for his heavy weight, did he make a mistake? So this is the retribution for not being good at studying, but wanting to take shortcuts! This made Zeng Fan discouraged.
"Daddy!" As soon as Zeng Fan got out of the car, the little monkey pounced.
"Well, who are you going to pick up today?" Zeng Fan hugged his son, and he remembered that now that it was time to get out of school, who would pick up his son?
"Uncle picked me up, Dad, how did you do in the exam?" The little monkey is seven years old, his nutrition is also good, and he is much taller than Zeng Fan when they were children, so Zeng Fan can only barely hold it. And his temperament is still like a big horse monkey, Zeng Fan was very stable when he was seven or eight years old, but the little monkey, facing his parents, is still like a child.
"Do you want your dad to do well in the exam?" Zeng Fan always has endless patience with his children, and when he sees his son, he is busy pressing the unhappiness just now into his heart, and said to his son with a smile.
"It doesn't matter." The little monkey shook his head.
"How old are you?" Li Ping said coldly behind her back, looking at the big boy with long hands and feet still holding his father, Li Ping really couldn't stand it.
"Alas, my mother is really!" The little monkey frowned at Zeng Fan. Or get down from my father's body and stand honestly.
"How's the big brother?" Zeng Yi took a step forward, he was really worried, the palace examination is also a national ceremony, and it is a holy place in the hearts of every scholar.
"I did my best, depending on God's will." Zeng Fan smiled, looked left and right, and felt that something was missing, "Where is my baby daughter?" ”
"Here, here?" Chubby chick yells at no wonder.
Zeng Fan and Li Ping went together, in the puppy hole on the wall next to the door, their fat girl stretched her neck and shouted. Zeng Gu and Huang Ge had already come out, and the little chubby girl was stuck on her shoulder because she was too fat, and then the two stupid boys pulled her in front. It's just that the strength of the two of them was too small to pull it out, but now look at it, but let Li Ping and Zeng Fan watch it together.
"Sister, I'm so skinny, I haven't drilled a dog hole!" The little monkey squatted and watched, a little admired.
"I'm anxious to see Daddy, Daddy!" The little chubby girl smiled brightly at her father, and she couldn't get out of her hand, so she could only tilt her head and smile at Zeng Fan.
Zeng Fan didn't stretch out his hand to see if he was afraid of hurting his daughter, so he hurriedly ran in, pulled his baby daughter back from the inside, and looked up and down to see if there were any bruises, fortunately, it was cold, and he was wearing a lot, and the overcoat outside was not to be wanted, but as long as his daughter was not injured, it would be. hugged and kissed, "Baby, you're so naughty, what should you do if you get hurt." ”
"Am I naughty?" The little chubby girl held her father's face, "Dad, how are you doing on the exam?" ”
"Okay, is my daughter happy today?" Zeng Fan's smile was much more real, and he forgot what he was going to say, so he hurriedly asked.
"Well, I'm happy every day." Chubby chick smiled and nodded.
Li Ping and the others rushed in, and just when they heard the little chubby girl talking, the corners of Li Ping's mouth twitched, and Zeng Gu and Huang Ge also pounced back.
"I'm happy every day, too." Huang Ge hurriedly raised his head and said to Zeng Fan.
"I'm not happy." Zeng Gu frowned, his little face wrinkled like a bun.
