Chapter 407: Celebrities
"All in all, this Shi Kefa is certainly a historical celebrity. www.biquge.info" Lin Yi said again with certainty, and then asked Xiao Mu again, "Don't you have a little impression?" ”
"Now I feel like the name is familiar too." Xiao Mu replied, "It should be a historical celebrity, but I really can't remember where he is famous, and to be honest, if you hadn't brought it up, I wouldn't have thought about this question at all......"
"Well, I shouldn't have expected anything from you." Lin Yi said with a little disappointment - it was precisely because she didn't have much hope for Xiao Mu in the first place, so she was only "slightly" disappointed at the moment.
"Aren't you any better than me?" Xiao Mu slandered in his heart, but he naturally didn't say it explicitly, and instead said, "No matter what Shi Kefa became a historical celebrity for, since he is a historical celebrity, then he is undoubtedly a very powerful figure, you must know that it is not easy to leave a name in history." ”
Lin Yi also agreed with Xiao Mu's statement, "Yes, and judging from the few things that happened between him and Hu Yun, this Shi Kefa is obviously a very righteous figure, and although I can't remember why he left his name in history, I can be sure that he is undoubtedly a very positive image in the history of later generations." ”
"Well......" Xiao Mu touched his chin and thought for a while, and then continued, "In that case, I think it is completely necessary to pay attention to the results of this Shi Kefa's examination, if his test paper is not favored by those examiners and fellow examiners, I can also intervene from it." ”
"I don't think it's necessary, he's a historical celebrity, and it shouldn't be a problem to be admitted to a Jinshi meritorious name." Xiao Mu's statement did not win Lin Yi's approval, "And judging from his behavior of sabotaging Hu Yun several times to sell exam questions, instead of buying a copy of the exam questions from Hu Yun, he is still a little confident in his talent, so he shouldn't need your 'special care'." ”
"Okay." Xiao Mu thought for a while and felt that Lin Yi had some sense, "Originally, I planned to directly order him to be the champion if his grades were good." ”
"Then it's even less necessary." Lin Yi continued to reply, "If he really has the talent of the champion, then he will already be discovered by the marking officer before you decide this step, and it will be a matter of course for you to order him as the champion at that time." If the article he writes is just the level of an ordinary second-class or third-class jinshi, you forcibly point him to the top of the competition, which is tantamount to promoting the seedlings. ”
"That's right." Xiao Mu also admitted Lin Yi's statement of "sprouting seedlings to grow", "And writing articles can't determine a person's everything, even if he can't pass the championship, he may not be worse than the champion, at least you and I know that he is a historical celebrity in later generations, and we don't know who the champion of Wuchenke in the first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty is." ”
……
Finally, another eight full days passed, that is, one more day than the concept of "week" commonly used by Xiao Mu in later generations, and the examination of Wuchenke in the first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was finally over.
As for Wang Jingyuan's family, they undoubtedly belong to the category of "relatives and friends", or more strictly speaking, their identity is not "relatives", but "friends", because they came to pick up the Song Yingxing brothers who took the exam.
The entrance of the Gongyuan is bustling, and the time for each candidate to submit the paper in the last subject exam is also inconsistent, some are very confident in themselves, confident, and some have lost their fighting spirit and feel hopeless, these two diametrically opposed people often choose to submit the paper in advance, and those who persist until the last moment in the examination room are often some candidates who are in the middle of the level.
The Song Yingxing brothers obviously belong to the middle of the level of candidates, because Wang Jingyuan's family has been waiting since the afternoon, knowing that in the evening, during this afternoon, candidates will come out of the Gongyuan one after another - either confident, or depressed, but Wang Jingyuan and they did not see the Song Yingxing brothers.
Finally, the time for the end of the exam finally came, and most of the candidates who were neither super confident nor super disappointed walked out of the open gate of the Gongyuan, and for a while there were all kinds of concerned voices at the door of the Gongyuan - if Xiao Mu was present, he would find a lot of feelings from this scene when he had taken the college entrance examination, or this kind of scene has been handed down from the time of the imperial examination, but at that time of Xiao Mu, it was just a different form.
Everywhere you hear, "How did you do on the test?" In words such as "It's hard work, hurry up and go home to rest", Wang Jingyuan's family also searched for the figure of Song Yingxing's brothers in the crowd.
"Mr. Xiao Song is over there!" The first person to discover Song Yingxing was none other than Zhao Qizhi, who liked to be naughty everywhere - it was obvious that as a nine-year-old child, he naturally could not grow taller than Wang Jingyuan and other adults, and in such an occasion where people were everywhere, his vision would be greatly disturbed.
But he was indeed the first to discover Song Yingxing, of course, there is a reason, in fact, the reason why he can become such a "clairvoyant" is because he "stands on the shoulders of giants" - that's right, Zhao Qizhi is riding on Lu Da's shoulders at this time, because Lu Da is much taller than ordinary people, Zhao Qizhi riding on his shoulders is naturally "a glance at the mountains".
That's right, since Lu Da, who is a neighbor and has a good relationship with Wang Jingyuan's family, also brought Liang Guo over, after all, the imperial examination is a very sacred and important thing in the eyes of these Ming locals, and Wang Jingyuan and Lu Da are also very concerned about how the two Jiangxi scholars who have been getting along very well for a period of time are doing well.
"Mr. Da Song is over there!" said that soon Zhao Qizhi pointed in another direction, indicating that Song Yingsheng's location was also discovered by him.
Finally, after a period of crowding and slight confusion in the crowd, Wang Jingyuan's family and Lu Da finally got together with Song Yingxing's brothers, and after everyone simply got out of the crowded environment and gave a sigh of relief, Wang Jingyuan asked with great concern, "Two gentlemen, how did you do in the exam?" ”
