Chapter 46: A Good Opportunity
This kind of discussion didn't end until Mr. came, today's class is to continue to talk about the "Book of Songs", and the four classes are busy and full of people, and when Tang Que left the classroom at noon, he only felt his head groggy, and then looked at the other students who were also looking depressed, hey, no way, this learning intensity is too great.
It seems that the poisonous widow is really interested in Tang Que, she just brought back the message yesterday afternoon, and when Tang Que came back at noon today, the guys in the tung oil shop had already brought the reply back.
What the poisonous widow said was that everything was done according to Tang Que's wishes, and let Lancao take care of his daily life, and he was still busy with some things in Zhuangzi, and he would come to the county seat after he was done.
The following days were such a full and dull past, and slowly Tang Que became familiar with his classmates, and sometimes took out an afternoon of free time to travel with them, or play polo on the back field, but this polo does not need to ride a horse, and it is not a long horse stick, but a walking stick, except for this difference, the other rules are the same as polo. The reason why students are so enthusiastic about this sport is that in addition to their playful youthful nature, it is also because every year after the new recruits are released, they will form a team to play a polo match with hundreds of officials from the DPRK and China.
If there is anything eye-catching during this period of time, that is, Liu Suifeng has challenged the word department after the challenge, and has continuously launched a challenge to the arithmetic department and the law department, this person is also really good, not only the handwriting is good, but also the arithmetic and the Tang law are also quite skilled, and the three consecutive challenges turned out to be consecutive victories, and for a while, the reputation spread far outside the county school, and almost everyone in Yunxi knew that the county school had a handsome all-round talent.
As a result, the mentality of the students of the Ming Jing Science has changed from the initial excitement to the current anxiety, to say that the Jinshi Branch is the closest to the Ming Jing Branch, and the Ming Jing Branch is the second largest subject after the Jin Shi Branch, this Liu Suifeng has no reason not to come to the field, it is funny to watch others lose, but it is not funny at all when it comes to their turn.
It is with this mentality that although Liu Suifeng has not yet come, the students of the Ming Jing Department have begun to discuss this matter, and several people who have always had solid schoolwork have also been elected just in case.
Tang Quecun was born in school, and he was a freshman who had just arrived, and he didn't perform well in the face of Mr. questions in class several times, so naturally no one thought of promoting him, so he was happy to be idle and buried himself in his schoolwork.
The content of the third class this morning was Mr. Zheng's famous poem "Zijin" in the fifteen national styles of the "Book of Songs":
Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart. Even if I don't go, Zining won't make a sound?
Qingqingzi Pei, I think about it. Even if I don't go, Zining won't come?
Picky and embarrassed, in the city. I don't see you for a day, like three autumns!
In Tang Que's view, the title and meaning of this poem are really simple, it is clearly a love song of a woman missing her lover.
"Qingjin, green collar, the uniform of students. Jianyun: Students are in the school, and they have been left behind, so they think about it. Li: 'Parents are here, the clothes are pure and green'", listening to Mr. quoting the Han Dynasty Confucian Zheng Xuan's "Mao's Poems" to support the topic, Tang Que below shook his head slightly while taking notes, and the letter is better than no book, and the things in front of him are the best examples.
Just as his mind was flying, he saw that the door of the school building was pushed open, and the handyman who walked in didn't know what to whisper to Mr., so he saw Mr. look at him and say, "Tang Cheng, you go."
"Where are we going?"
"Master Xuezheng wants to see you", the handyman finished speaking and walked straight forward.
After a while, he arrived outside Lin Xue's main room, he was busy with something on the bookcase, and when he heard the footsteps, he saw that Tang Que had arrived, so he got up with a smile and beckoned: "Tang Cheng, come in and sit."
There was still a class over there, and after Tang Que sat down, he asked directly, "What is the matter with Master Xuezheng looking for me?" ”。
Lin Xuezheng didn't go around in circles with him, and directly explained the reason for looking for him, which was also related to the fact that he was an accountant in the Poison Widow Village that day, and now all the big households in the county have copied the acres and the accounts of the past eight years and reported it clearly, so the huge follow-up work has accumulated together in the county government, and the county government has a limited number of knife and pen officials, and this matter is urgent, and it is really too busy. Master Yao, who was in charge of handling this matter, thought of the county school, which meant that he wanted to transfer some people from the county school to the county government to help, anyway, what he did was to sort out the data, and they were also competent.
"Going to the county government to help does not affect the morning class, only go to the afternoon for half a day, and the county government gives 50 wen to each student who goes to help every day, how about it, are you interested?".
This happened too suddenly, Tang Que didn't answer in a hurry, "In the opinion of Master Xuezheng, should students go?" ”。
"To go or not to you, all I can tell you is the pros and cons of both."
"I want to hear about it".
"Go and pour me tea", Lin Xuezheng pointed to the cup on his side before he continued: "Your foundation is weaker, and the advantage of not going is that you can concentrate on your homework and make up for what you have left behind in the past as soon as possible."
Tang Que poured tea while carrying the tea pot, and replied: "What Master Xuezheng said is that the students also think so."
Hearing this, Lin Xuezheng smiled slightly, and gently stroked the teacup with his fingers and said: "There is a benefit to not going, but there is also an advantage to going, and there are two benefits: first, although the daily fifty pens are not much, it is enough for your life needs; Second, it is a good opportunity to have the opportunity to enter the county government to help, first, you can get acquainted with the affairs of the yamen as soon as possible, and secondly, if the scientific examination does not go well in the future, you will have a foreshadowing when you think of the county government to seek work, which is easier than other people who always have to come. After all, there are few people who can go to state school every year, and the best way out if they can't go to state school is to go to the county government, so there will be no fewer people who want to go to the county school this time."
In the Song Dynasty, more than 300 people could be admitted to a subject, while in the Tang Dynasty, there were only 30 people at most, not even one-tenth. Therefore, the road to the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty can be described as a blue thread, which is really difficult. In addition, Tang Que's own family background is like this, although Lin Xuezheng did not give a definite answer, the implication is actually very clear. I just hope that he will seize this opportunity, so as to reserve a room for retreat when the imperial examination fails in the future.
After understanding the key points, Tang Que naturally did not hesitate any longer, "Thank you for mentioning it, the student is willing to go."
