Chapter 384: Something to Ask For
Master Zhang's intuition was really right, Hu Anguo and Wang Huai were indeed a little wrong, but they were eager to read Zhao Gou's article. To be honest, after two consecutive exams, Zhao Gou's outstanding writing was deeply imprinted in the minds of Hu Anguo and Wang Huai, and it was difficult to dissipate.
Zhao Gou brought them so much surprise that they hadn't digested it until now, and they saw Zhao Gou hand in the paper ahead of schedule again. The third exam is the student's thoughts and eyes, and it is also the most important thing, and this exam is the key.
Hu Anguo was eager to see how Zhao Gou's writing was, but everyone was shocked by Zhao Gou, and wanted to take a look, but they didn't notice anything unusual about him. After all, as a doctor of Taixue, a well-read person, and a scholar, if others knew what was in his heart, he would be faceless.
Wang Huai was deeply impressed by Zhao Gou, but he didn't know that he was so powerful, recalling the scene when he used to be in the exam, and compared it with Zhao Gou, he found that he was really ashamed. Even if he wanted to complete it all, he was afraid that it would take several days, and Zhao Gou was so fast, profound, catchy and had a core idea, which surprised him.
Wang Huai thought so, and others thought the same, so the fact that Zhao Gou's two consecutive questions only needed one day to complete quickly spread, but it was only known to the examiner. As for the other candidates, they didn't know about it, even if they were near Zhao Gou's room, they didn't notice it, just because they were all immersed in answering questions, how could they have the leisure to pay attention to other things.
Wang Huai followed closely behind Hu Anguo, and he also wanted to take a look at it and see how Zhao Gou was doing. Hu Anguo looked at Zhao Gou's answer sheet very strugglingly, wanting to read it but couldn't. After all, the imperial court stipulates that the file is read uniformly, and it is not allowed to read the file privately.
The reason for this regulation is also because I am worried that after the examiner sees the first test paper and thinks it is very good, he will naturally think that it is very good, and the other answer papers may not be so perfect in comparison.
Even if the examiner can be impartial, most of them are more than the first impression. If it is still fresh in the memory, it is that no matter how good the article is, it will be boring to read, unless it is a really good article. After all, examiners are also human beings, they are not machines, they will always be visually tired and tired.
In the end, Hu Anguo solemnly put away Zhao Gou's answer sheet according to the idea of resisting it, so as not to lose it, and Zhao Gou's previous answer sheet was also put together, and after the township examination was over, all the candidates would read the paper together after handing in the papers. Now, Hu Anguo really hopes that it will end sooner, and he has gone from disliking it at the beginning to making this trip worthwhile now, in just a few days, just because Zhao Gou surprised him too much, so he looked at it differently, and also looked at Zhao Gou's ability.
Zhao Gou, like the previous two times, went directly out of the Tribute Courtyard; This time, Steward Wang did not wait in the Tribute Courtyard. It's just that he is also used to it, so he stays in the inn directly, prepares bath water, wine and food, etc., as long as Zhao Gou comes back, he must take a bath as soon as possible, and then eat wine.
As for what happened in the Gong Courtyard, Zhao Gou didn't know anything.
Two days later, all the candidates in the Gongyuan came out, after a few days of fighting, they were mentally exhausted, and they looked much older, and the examiner was also accompanied by them, so the spirit was not much better.
As long as the answer sheet is not completed, they are not allowed to go back to their homes to rest, so they have to stay in the tribute courtyard.
That night, after Zhao Gou rested, Steward Wang quietly sneaked into the tribute courtyard, and after several explorations, he finally found a place for Hu Anguo to rest.
"Mr. Wuyi, I haven't seen you for ten years, don't come unharmed!"
When Hu Anguo heard that the voice was familiar, he turned to look at it, only to see Steward Wang looking at him with a smile and saying excitedly, "Why are you here?" ”
"Wang is here, thank you Mr. Wuyi for coming here thousands of miles away!" Steward Wang knew that Hu Anguo came here because of his own request, and of course he also had the meaning of Zhao, so he personally thanked him, "I am afraid that there will be inconvenience these days, so I did not come to bother." ”
Hu Anguo replied: "Brother Wang is too polite, if it weren't for Brother Wang's help ten years ago, how could Hu have ten years of quiet life!" ”
"What a lot of effort!" Steward Wang really didn't dare to take credit, but he didn't explain much, some things were not good, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Xiyi, Wang came here today, there is something to ask for, I don't know if I can agree?" ”
Hu Anguo never understood what Steward Wang asked him to come here for, and when he saw him straight to the point, he replied: "What is the matter, I would like to hear it in detail!" ”
"The young master of my family participated in the imperial examination a few days ago, and I came here today to tell Mr. Xiyi, and when his answer sheet comes, please stay and keep it for other use!" Steward Wang bluntly said the request, this is what the emperor meant, and he must do it.
Hu Anguo was stunned, he didn't expect Steward Wang to just mention this and frowned. To be honest, he is really a little entangled, all the candidates' answer sheets that participate in the exam are kept, and no one has ever taken them away without permission. However, thinking of the identity of the king's housekeeper, and seeing him call Zhao Gou the young master, he must be the master of his family, so after thinking about it, he agreed.
"Thank you, Mr. Wuyi!" Steward Wang thanked him.
"Hu has something to inquire about, I wonder if Brother Wang can tell him?" Hu Anguo doubted Zhao Gou's identity in his heart, but he didn't have any real evidence, and he wanted to know something from Steward Wang's mouth, so he asked this question.
Steward Wang looked at him and motioned for him to say it was okay.
Juan Guo continued: "Who is he? ”
Steward Wang replied embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wuyi, Wang can't tell me about this matter." Because this matter involves a wide range of people, the less people know about it, the better! ”
Hu Anguo already knew in his heart that he guessed that Zhao Gou's identity must be the prince, otherwise, he would not let the Wang steward be a slave. However, he really can't guess who Zhao Gou is. Even if he was a scholar, he couldn't guess that person was actually Zhao Gou, the famous king of Guangping County before.
In the past ten years, Hu Anguo and Steward Wang have never met, and they have a lot to say, but both of them have inconveniences, so they have to separate with a few words. Before leaving, Steward Wang told Hu Anguo that if he met him on the street, he would treat him as a stranger.
Due to the short time involved, Hu Anguo still did not understand the purpose of his visit. If it is just to save Zhao Gou's answer sheet, it may not be necessary for him to come forward, others can do the same, there must be other reasons, but there is no way to verify this for the time being, just because both of them have inconveniences, so it is not too late to ask again when there is a chance in the future, and after he guessed Zhao Gou's approximate identity, he was even more curious about what the article he wrote, and he was really impatient!
