Zhou Zhi talks to people and gets along with people, as if he has never encountered such an ignorant situation. He thought to himself for a moment, and then stopped talking, and looked at the three of them with starry eyes, his face as usual, and what they were going to do.

Gao Gongjia and Xiao Fu were obviously very jealous of Liu Long, at this time Liu Long didn't open his mouth to speak, the two of them were like dumb, and they just looked at Zhou Zhi with disdain.

Liu Long was silent for a while, and said, "Brother Zhou Zhi is the head of the county trial case in Qingdu County, and it can be said that he is famous in Baoding Mansion. The article made by the brother during the county test is also seen by the brother, which is very innovative and very good!

Don't hide it from Zhou Zhi's brothers, my Boye Liu family is a family of reading, and I, Liu Long, have been studying since I was a child, and I have been studying for more than ten years today. I wanted to take the exam as soon as possible, but my father never allowed it, and asked me to hone my temperament and hit it with one blow.

Hehe! This year's Boye County test, my brother was lucky to win the case.

In the eyes of Brother Wei, Brother Zhou's article is not much different from Brother Wei. Brother Zhou Zhi's talent is quick, and he studies hard, so if he goes on like this, Brother Zhou Zhi will not have the slightest worry about being successful in the examination. ”

Liu Long said so much in one mouth, although it sounded like a compliment on the surface, but inside he was showing off himself. Especially to say that Zhou Zhi's article is similar to him, what is the statement? That's a bit worse.

Zhou Zhifu slandered, he had not seen Liu Long's article, and he might not be able to compare to him. But what if it's worse now? As long as he makes unremitting efforts, he may not be able to pass the government examination and the future college examination.

Thinking so in his heart, he said, "Brother Liu Long compliments the little brother so much, the little brother is really ashamed!" ”

I didn't want to talk to Liu Long more, so I just said it.

Liu Long didn't care, and then said, "Actually, I, Liu Long, really want to make a friend like Brother Zhou Zhi, so I might as well say it directly if I have something to say today." For my brother, I would like to ask Brother Zhou Zhi, I don't know what the scriptures of Brother Zhou Zhi's imperial examination are? ”

The imperial examination is the Bagu Wen, the test post poem, the policy question, etc., and the important thing is the Bagu Wen. The county exam only examines small questions, and the questions are excerpted from the four books. The subsequent prefectural and hospital examinations, as well as the later township examinations and general examinations, all had to be examined. The big question is to come out of the Pentateuch, and the Pentateuch has a lot of content, so candidates should choose one scripture as the scripture and only answer the questions of the scripture during the exam.

To this day, Zhou Zhi really didn't choose his own scripture, but Zhou Zhi already had an idea in his heart, he wanted to choose "Spring and Autumn" as his scripture.

Among the many students of the Ming Dynasty, most of them chose "The Book of Songs", "Shangshu", and "Zhou Yi", but very few chose "Spring and Autumn".

The reason why Zhou Zhi wanted to choose "Spring and Autumn" as the scripture was precisely because of this. Moreover, among the Five Classics, Zhou Zhi is the most familiar and favorite of "Spring and Autumn".

This time I went to Lixian to study with a teacher, just to focus on learning this scripture. Liu Yu and Liu Daru of Lixian County are also "Spring and Autumn", and Liu Yu's research on "Spring and Autumn" is extremely thorough, which is exactly what Zhou Zhi needs.

No matter what purpose Liu Long asked this question, Zhou Zhi didn't want to hide it, so he replied truthfully, "The younger brother's scripture is "Spring and Autumn", but he has not focused on learning and comprehending. ”

As soon as Zhou Zhi's words fell, Xiao Fu and Gao Gongjia looked even more disdainful. Especially Xiao Fu, his face was already full of pimples, and his disdainful appearance at this time was even more ugly, which made people look annoying.

Liu Long was stunned at first, and then smiled, "Okay! The scriptures of the Zhou Zhi brothers are the same as those of the brothers, both of which are "Spring and Autumn". Since Brother Wei wants to make friends with Brother Zhou Zhixian, he naturally can't talk about it. Our Boye Liu family is a family of scholars, and there are three famous teachers invited from Jiangnan in the family, and this scripture is "Spring and Autumn".

According to Brother Wei, Brother Zhou Zhi doesn't have to go to Lixian County to find Liu Yu, just follow Brother Wei to my Liu family, you and I study together, and listen to the advice of the three famous teachers. ”

Although Liu Long did not specifically say the names of the three famous teachers from Jiangnan, it would definitely not be bad in Zhou Zhi's mind. Otherwise, this Liu Long would not have won the county trial. Besides, Liu Ji and Liu Mian have been officials for so many years, and they haven't done a few things for the country and the people, but they have a lot of silver, and their Liu family has a lot of silver, and the famous teacher invited is naturally a Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River.

Liu Long's invitation like this cannot but be said to be sincere. But Zhou Zhi didn't have a good impression of Liu Long and the three of them from the beginning, especially when he saw Xiao Fu and Gao Gongjia's arrogant looks. Although this Liu Long doesn't look arrogant, Zhou Zhi can clearly feel that this guy is very arrogant in his bones, and he doesn't even look down on himself at all.

Besides, Liu Ji's reputation is really not flattering, and he has an intersection with such a person, so will he have his reputation in the future?

Participating in the imperial examination to gain fame and fame is to be an official in the imperial court in the future. has something to do with a person like Liu Ji who is a vegetarian in the corpse, so it's not easy to mix up in the court!

Since the prefect Peng Ze recommended Liu Yu, he must meet Liu Yu.

Thinking about it like this, Zhou Zhi smiled apologetically and said, "I understand Brother Liu Long's kindness, so I won't bother Brother Liu Long about my affairs." ”

When Gao Gongjia and Xiao Fu heard Zhou Zhi say this, their faces were immediately gloomy as water, and they glared at Zhou Zhi angrily. Liu Long was also very surprised.

This week, I don't know what to do! Could it be that I, Liu Long, can't stop Zhou Zhi, and I can't be friends with Zhou Zhi?

Liu Long barely suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and continued, "Liu Yu does have some fame in Li County, but the Zhou Zhi brothers may still know something, not to mention Liu Yu's strange personality, even his descendants are also inactive, and no one has been an official in the court so far.

His father, Liu Shangbucai, is now the superintendent of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Although he is only a seventh-grade official, he has a lot of power. Moreover, my father had close contacts with many officials in the court, and he had a relationship with Li Guang, the most powerful eunuch today. My father's future is bright, don't Brother Zhou Zhi think about his future? ”

When Liu Long said these words, he was not without the intention of showing off. Zhou Zhi listened to it and became more and more puzzled, this Liu Long is so enthusiastic, what is his purpose?

Is it really because he was admitted to the first place in the Qingdu County exam, and he wanted to make friends with himself?

Apparently not.

Zhou Zhi thought to himself that his small county trial case leader had not yet reached such prestige, and it had not yet reached the level of making the Boye Liu family attach so much importance to it. Besides, if they really came for themselves, they wouldn't have been so arrogant in the first place. Also, until now, Xiao Fu and Gao Gongjia have been disdainful of themselves.

At this time, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and Zhou Zhi understood in a trance. Since Liu Ji, the Boye Liu family has obviously been in a much less powerful position than before. Although Liu Long's father, Liu Shang, is a superintendent of imperial history, but in the capital, there are more than 100 superintendent imperial histories, so what is it?

The reason why he wanted to befriend himself was probably because he looked at the face of Peng Ze, the prefect of Baoding, and they used themselves to curry favor with Peng Ze, the prefect of the prefect Peng Ze.

Peng Ze is a fourth-grade official, much bigger than Liu Shang's official position. Since the Liu family is under the rule of Baoding Mansion, they naturally want to make friends with Peng Ze.

From this point of view, the news of the Liu family is well-informed enough, and there are enough thoughts.

In fact, Zhou Zhi thought well, but he only guessed half right, and the reason why Liu Long wanted to befriend Zhou Zhi was actually another reason.
