Chapter 41, the county lord is coming to inspect

After listening to the conditions of the Zheng family relayed by Shan Ren, Yang Xianzun was very moved, first of all, just this Zheng Sen's current back. Jing, plus it's not a particularly difficult boy test, as long as he doesn't answer the questions too outrageously, can Yang Xianzun really not let him pass? But the case is another story. The head of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is so eye-catching that the same batch of exams in the county will pay close attention to him, and when it comes to the government exam, the head of each county will also get special attention. Generally speaking, the head of the case can pass the government examination and the subsequent hospital examination as long as there is no major mess. And those who are admitted to the showhouse as the head of the case are also more likely to become students. In other words, the Zheng family is talking about asking for a case leader, but in fact, it is equivalent to asking for the identity of a student, or even the identity of a student.

"Mr. Shan, to be honest, don't say anything else, just look at this Zheng Sen's background, his father is a general who has just made great contributions, well, there are rumors that Zheng Zhilong may be promoted to the Fujian General Army, although he is a military attachΓ©, but the General Soldier is also a second-class officer. It can be regarded as having a little identity and status. And the Zheng family also got in touch with the Hong family. This Hong family is even more incomparable to the Zheng family. Governor Hong is now the governor, and it is not impossible for him to enter the cabinet in the future. With such a relationship, coupled with the Zheng family's goodwill, if he didn't agree, wouldn't this official become a fool? In a room in the backyard of the county government, Yang Xianzun was talking to Shan Ren about Zheng Sen's participation in the children's exam.

"County Zun, what do you mean ......," Shan Ren said.

"It's just that I don't know what Zheng Sen's current knowledge is, and what kind of discipline he governs." Yang Xianzun stroked his mustache with his right hand and smiled.

Shan Ren immediately understood what Yang Xianzun meant. Of course, Yang Xianzun was unwilling to give up such a deal, but he was worried about Zheng Sen's level. Although there are already rumors about Zheng Sen as a prodigy, who knows if those rumors were made by the Zheng family with money? In case Zheng Sen's level is very average, or even completely unlearned, he doesn't understand anything, then the pressure is really a bit big to point him to the head of the case. Therefore, Yang Xianzun wanted to confirm Zheng Sen's level first, and then decide how to do this transaction. As for asking Zheng Senzhi which scripture he is, it also hints at the way the county respects help.

The exam questions for the Ming Dynasty children's examination were issued by the county order, and there are many tricks that can be played here. In many cases, even if you don't consider fraudulent methods such as leaking test questions, it is very effective to use a completely legal way to ask questions based on a student's strengths.

"The county, now there is only a little more than a month before the autumn harvest, and in a few days it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the county can just in the name of persuading farmers, inspect all parts of the county, and take it to see how the culture and education are in various places. In this way, can't the county zun go to see the reality of this child in person? Shan Ren thought for a moment and replied.

"This is not bad, persuading farmers is originally the county's own business, and by the way, it is also a matter of cultural and educational affairs in various places. It's a good idea. Ah, Mr. Shan, you help the county prepare some gifts, and the county also happens to visit Mr. Hong. Yang County ordered.

"County Zun, I heard that Mr. Hong has a high character, and I am afraid that ordinary vulgar things will not be accepted." Shan Ren said, "I don't think this gift can be too expensive, as long as it looks elegant and sincere." The county is a native of Huzhou, and Huzhou brushes are well-known in the world. I also heard that Mr. Hong is good at calligraphy, and the county does not know that there is a good Huzhou brush, if there is, it can be used as a gift......"

……

"In a few days, Yang County of this county will come here to inspect and persuade farmers, and by the way, I will also go to the clan study to have a look. You guys are all serious these days, don't wait for Yang Xianzun to come and make a fool of yourself in front of him! Do you all understand? In class, Mr. Wang said to the full class of students with a ring ruler in his hand.

"The students got it." The children all replied in twos and threes.

"Well, let's start endorsing!" Mr. Wang said.

So the class immediately sounded a sound of reading, what "benevolence is far away, I want to be benevolent", what "the road is also a journey, the world is a public ......", what "Ge Zhongshu, listen to my words, non-Taiwan boys, dare to act and call chaos", all kinds of voices are mixed together, but it is also quite lively.

Mr. Wang walked around the room a few times, and after seeing that everyone was still reciting carefully, he returned to his seat and sat down. I also took out a book and read it.

Hong Shilong kept carrying the book with his mouth on his back, raised his eyes, and secretly glanced at Mr. Wang, seeing that Mr. Wang gradually sank into the book, he secretly stopped, and then secretly stabbed Zheng Sen, who was sitting next to him with his hand, and was carrying Zheng Sen, who was carrying "relatives have hidden but no offense, left and right, left and right, served to death, and mourned for three years", and whispered: "Ah Sen, Ah Sen, do you say that Yang Xianzun will come to see you?" ”

Zheng Sen listened, and nodded secretly in his heart, he knew that most of the family would try to take the door for him this time, so he also had a similar conjecture as Hong Shilong. But this is not the time for small talk. Zheng Sen leaned back slightly, and whispered to Hong Shilong, "Mr. Wang is fishing, be careful." He ignored Hong Shilong and continued to read.

Hong Shilong raised his head again to peep at the movement, but Mr. Wang didn't seem to raise his eyelids. Hong Shilong was a little skeptical of Zheng Sen's warning, but seeing that Zheng Sen had no intention of continuing to talk to him, he had to follow the book.

After reciting it for a while, Hong Shilong looked up at Mr. Wang again, and saw that he was still motionless and looking down at the book, so he quietly took out a copy of "Water Margin" from under the table, put it under "Mencius", and secretly read it.

If you want to say that the attraction of novels or something, it is indeed stronger than things like the Four Books and the Five Classics, I don't know how strong it is. After a while, Hong Shilong forgot everything around him.

Hong Shilong was seeing the tense and fierce place, and suddenly felt Zheng Sen gently kicking his table, and hurriedly raised his head, but saw that Mr. Wang was putting down the book and walking towards this side.

"Ah", Hong Shilong hurriedly wanted to take "Water Margin" back into the desk drawer, but in a panic, his hand was not steady, and with a snap, the embroidered book "Water Margin" fell to the ground.

"What's that?" Mr. Wang asked with a blushing face.

"No, it's nothing, it's just a book." Hong Shilong's face turned pale.

"Show it to me!" Mr. Wang stretched out his hand.

This is an era that pays attention to the "prince of heaven and earth", Mr. Wang stretched out his hand, and Hong Shilong did not dare not give it. Unlike later generations, students play with mobile phones in class, and the teacher will confiscate them, and the students and teachers will threaten to jump off the building at all, and if they are not honest, they will directly slap the teacher in the face.

Hong Shilong slowly bent down and picked up "Water Margin", and handed it to Mr. Wang with a shaking hand.

Mr. Wang took the book and glanced at the cover first. The cover of this "Water Margin" has been changed. Hong Shilong ripped off the original cover and replaced it with the cover of "Zuo Biography".

"Bodhisattva bless, gods bless, God bless, (Christianity is also more common in the south in this era) Mr. Wang just look at the cover, but don't open it!" Hong Shilong kept praying in his heart.

However, the gods and Buddhas did not hear Hong Shilong's prayer, and Mr. Wang opened the book. Hong Shilong felt that his palms and buttocks had begun to ache for a while, but things were still beyond Hong Shilong's expectations, and the first thing that hurt was not his palms or buttocks, but his face - the angry Mr. Wang directly smashed this "Water Margin" on Hong Shilong's face.

"At this time, you are still doing such things! Anyway, I'll quit this museum tomorrow, and I won't be able to teach you! ”

This word is quite heavy, hearing this, Hong Shilong suddenly burst into tears, he immediately knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed to Mr. Wang and said: "Teacher, it is a student who is not a weapon, Mr. Wang, you must not go, the student will never dare again." ”

Zheng Sen also hurriedly stood up, and also knelt down to Mr. Wang and said, "Sir, you must not do this." Hong is just playful and doesn't know the importance, not that he can't be taught. And our students in the school are not improving day by day, and they are becoming more and more reasonable day by day. It's all from the gentleman. Please don't leave us, sir. ”

After saying this, Zheng Sen hurriedly and secretly glanced at Hong Shiyi next to him. Hong Shiyi is also a clever person, and immediately knelt down and said, "Don't leave us, teacher." He turned his head and scolded Hong Shilong again: "Hong Shilong, you don't grow up, I must tell the third uncle when I go back, see if I don't kill you fool!" ”

Led by them, the other children in the school also knelt down and said, "Sir, don't leave us. ”

When Mr. Hong saw it, he was also quite moved, he first pulled Zheng Sen up, and then said to the others: "You are all good boys, get up, I just said angry words in a moment's anger." ”

Seeing Mr. Wang say this, everyone else also got up. At this time, Hong Shilong also stood up, ran to Mr. Wang's desk in two steps, picked up the ring ruler that Mr. Wang put on it, walked to Mr. Wang, knelt down on his knees, held the ring ruler above his head with both hands and said: "Sir, the disciple has not grown up, and he has made a mistake, please punish Mr." ”

Mr. Wang took the ring ruler, sighed and said: "If you can control yourself, why do you need me to punish you, if you can't control yourself, what is the use of me beating you!" He threw the ruler on the floor, turned around and went to the back room.

"What are you doing? Everybody reads honestly. Zheng Sen said this when he saw that his family was still standing there. Then the sound of books sounded in the classroom again.
