Chapter 198: Resentment
Hongyan is so thin, when Ji Ning saw Liu Ru is playing the piano, he couldn't help but think of Liu Ru in another time and space, red face can make men fall for it and go crazy, now there is a Zhang Linwu, and there may not be a second one in the future.
Liu Ruye's playing and singing continued, and everyone present was overwhelmed, to say that among so many people, there were only two people who were the least attentive to listening to the playing, one was Nalan Blowing Snow, and the other was Ji Ning.
Ji Ning had been watching Nalan blowing snow and wanted to know what she was going to do.
After a song, in the aftermath, everyone was intoxicated, and no one broke the quiet atmosphere for a long time, but Nalan Blowing Snow had turned around and went in the direction of the entrance of Tianxiang Building. Ji Ning's eyes kept following her, and it wasn't until Tang Jie, Han Yu and the others applauded, and Nalan Blowing Snow's figure finally disappeared at the door of Tianxiang Tower, that he came back to his senses and clapped his hands casually like others.
Ji Ning thought to herself: "She and Liu are like this, they shouldn't know each other, right?" Maybe she came to Tianxianglou to spy on me? ”
With puzzlement, Ji Ning was pulled by Han Yu and said, "Brother Ji, I thought you wouldn't be interested in Miss Liu's piano and singing, seeing that you were about to lose your soul before, you must have been obsessed with Miss Liu, right?" Ha ha! ”
Tang Xie said with a smile: "My Fair Lady and Gentleman are good, Brother Ji is excellent in character and learning, and he is the best among the suave people, so he will naturally favor the beautiful woman." Come, let's go back to the Accord and drink by ourselves, and later Miss Liu will go back to the room to tidy up the clothes and toast you in person. ”
"Oh? Then let's not stay here, let's go back and drink and talk while waiting. Under the greeting of Xie Tai and others, a group of more than a dozen people returned to the banquet room on the fifth floor.
Ji Ning sat down, thinking about Nalan blowing snow, and before he knew it, the surrounding candidates had already talked about the topic of the township exam, and also made a judgment on the difficulty of the three four books.
“…… Among the three four-book texts, the most difficult is the third one, which is the interception, followed by the second question, and the easiest is the first question. Why? Xie Tai, as a student, has performed very well in the annual examination and scientific examination over the years, and he is also considered to be the favorite to solve the yuan in this township examination, and his words have also been approved by others, and the people present nodded one after another.
In addition to the fact that the four essays have always been the highest criterion for admission to the township examination, it is also because each person's Five Classics and topics are different, and it is difficult to judge the quality of other people's essays from one or two articles. As for the four books, the questions of the candidates in the entire Jinling Township Examination are the same, and the comparability is higher.
Tang Xie sighed: "I have also read the four books of this year's township examination, I have to say, it is more difficult than the usual questions, I heard that one of the main exams in this year's township examination is Mr. Su Meiyang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is really the level of the Fang family!" ”
"Hmm." Those present nodded again.
Tang Xie finally looked at Ji Ning and said, "What does Brother Ji think? ”
was stared at by everyone, and Ji Ning came back to his senses.
In Ji Ning's opinion, it is indeed a little more difficult to compare the questions of this township exam with the questions of previous years, but to say that the topic is "Fang family level", he does not think so. On the contrary, he felt that the standard of the questions in the township examination this time was very poor, and even had the intention of messing around, so he didn't care about the taboo of the third question of the four books and the question of the current affairs policy "The Lord Shaoguo is suspicious", and just said that the first question "Heaven Mourns" that others thought was very simple, it was a very confusing question.
In the township examination, although there is no need to have a decent question, but it is a deviation and strange question, after the exam, the candidate still thinks that he is discussing the death of Yan Hui correctly, and he does not know that what is being discussed behind him should be the rule of benevolence and courtesy. If this kind of question comes out in the examination, it can be understood that it is to select the top talents, after all, there are thousands of people who participate in the examination, but in the township examination, which tests the knowledge of students, as a Confucian of the Fang family, he bullies the younger students so much, and it is clear that the big bully the small.
If there are 1,000 candidates and 900 people who are off topic, it can only be said that they are not good at learning, but if only a few people do not go off topic, it is not a good topic and it is easy to provoke criticism.
But being stared at by everyone, Ji Ning just nodded reluctantly, and agreed with Tang Xie and Xie Tai's statements before and after.
A candidate named Jiang Cheng next to him couldn't wait to take out an article from his arms and said, "I specially took the article made in this township examination to discuss it with you." ”
For those who come up like this and take out their own articles, it is actually annoying, I am not familiar with you, and you do not have a great reputation, we haven't waited to talk about the articles of relatively popular candidates like Xie Tai and Ji Ning, which onion are you?
But out of politeness, Tang Xie smiled and said, "Oh? I'm going to see it......"
I was about to spread out the paper to read the article, but I saw a small servant come in and say: "A few sons, Miss Liu is asking to see you outside!" ”
Although Liu Ru is famous, it is difficult for everyone to see her, but in terms of social status, Liu Ru is a happy and lowly member, in the social classification of Shinong industry and commerce, she is not even the lowest "business status", but "lower nine streams", and these sons and brothers present are at least the identity of Xiucai, and they already belong to the scholar clan, which shows that the official does not kneel. So when he arrived at the door, Liu Ru wanted to "ask for a meeting" first, and wait for the son-in-law inside to "give a meeting" to show a few thoughtful gifts.
But the actual situation is that if you can't come up with enough money, you can't get Liu Ruye's appreciation, so you can't get this kind of opportunity to "ask for a meeting".
Tang Xie was cautious, got up and said, "Please." ”
He even greeted him personally at the door.
But seeing Liu Ru standing at the door, his expression was very flat, his eyebrows were not shi, and he deliberately lowered the corners of his eyebrows, not looking at the same level as the people present, in order to show his respect for the son and brother present. She is holding a huqin in her hand, but it is a commonly used musical instrument for the northern peoples, which is not common in the Jiangnan of Sanwu City, after she entered the door, she saluted the sons and brothers present one by one, and was respectful and abnormal, but it showed a trace of cold arrogance between her eyebrows, which made people feel that she was unattainable. When he came to Ji Ning, Tang Xie smiled and said, "Ji Gongzi doesn't need to introduce him to Miss Liu, right?" He's one of the most famous of us. ”
Ji Ning said slightly: "Don't dare to be." ”
Liu Ru's attitude towards Ji Ning was like a stranger, and he bowed: "Ji Gongzi." It was no different from saluting others, and he didn't even look up at Ji Ning.
Ji Ning knew that Liu Ru still had resentment in his heart, which was because he hated him for refusing to go to the appointment before. However, the meeting of talented and beautiful women, just your beauty's wishful thinking is futile, who said that men can't have their own "reserve"?
After the ceremony, everyone sat down one after another, and even Liu Ru sat down on the chair behind the curtain. Tang Xie smiled: "Miss Liu is also a talented person, and there is an article on the topic of this year's Autumn Festival, I wonder if Miss Liu is willing to discuss one or two together?" ”
