Chapter 503: Examination
Wang Fulin truthfully recruited, supplemented by some of his own analysis results, that is, Wang Daokun was on the way back to his house after leaving this small house, and his heart was very uncomfortable.
Zhang Juzheng's methods after being the first assistant for more than a year, he didn't see it clearly, but Wang Fulin's analysis still made him a little frightened. The queen of the law, the ruler of the body with rigidity, the outer law and the inner Confucian, tried to restore the scene of the Qin Emperor and the Taizu period of this dynasty, and even many ideas were similar to Qin Xiang Li Si, but more admired was the combination of the hegemony of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty...... When he suddenly heard Wang Fulin's statements, he once felt incredible, and he refuted it bitterly at the time, but now on the way home, he broke it word by word, and confirmed it with his understanding of Zhang Juzheng, but he had to admit that Wang Fulin's inference might be seven or eight points accurate.
"When encountering such a strong Shousuke, fighting against oneself is not only bloody, but also futile. It is better to be an official to be honest and honest, to be upright, to be impartial, to put on a pragmatic posture rather than a retreat, to talk less and to do more practical things, so that even if the situation changes in the future, it is enough to protect yourself. ”
Recalling Wang Fulin's last words, Wang Daokun couldn't help but sigh in annoyance. With such juniors, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!
Declined the two literary meetings of Xu Mansion and Wang Mansion, Wang Fulin has been living in seclusion before the Chinese New Year, even if he goes out to meet old friends for a while, or visit the famous places inside and outside Beijing, but he almost does not touch those elegant things. Therefore, compared with his considerable reputation in Nanjing when he took the township examination, he was really unknown among the Beijing teachers who participated in the examination this time. After all, no matter what it was on that snowy night. I still saw Zhang Juzheng. Or was invited back to Zhang's mansion by Zhang Jingxiu. The result of no one publicizing is that no one knows. But such a low profile made him very satisfied, and he didn't want to continue to cause trouble like he did in Nanjing.
Although Wang Daoguan and Wang Daohui brothers even didn't end up in this subject for him, but the test is really too big, rather than rushing for quick success, it is better to gamble on luck!
On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, he naturally took Xiaobei to spend it at Wang Daokun's, but he did not stay overnight. After all, there is still a handsome Jiamo in the family who is not suitable for showing up in front of people, and he has to protect his safety closely. After the first night of the Lunar New Year, early in the morning, they set off a firecracker at the door of the small house of their temporary residence, and built a big snowman with thick snow, and attracted many naughty children from the same street and alley to come and join in the fun. The sound of laughter and playfulness filled the whole alley with a festive atmosphere, so much so that Wang Fulin couldn't help but be a little jealous when he took Xiaobei in front of the door to watch the excitement.
"Speaking of which, these boys are about the same age as me back then, and I was scorched by my father and father-in-law all day long, why are they so carefree!"
"yes, yes. Who is as wicked as you were back then? My sister muttered to me at the beginning, something that my father can't solve in his thirties. It's actually that you, a teenager, come up with tricks to trick people with a pat on the head, which is quite powerful. ”
"How can this be called a pit man? I was cornered and had to rise to protect myself! Wait, your sister said that about me, what about you? ”
Xiaobei was afraid of Wang Fulin's glare, she smiled, wrapped the crane with the mink collar on her body, and then said with a smile: "I said to my sister at that time, what is very powerful, it is a thief foodie!" Both times I was hungry and bumped into my sister, and you are not afraid of losing face. ”
"The people live on food...... Besides, do you dare to say that inviting so many cooks to come to your house in turn is not a fake public and private sacrifice to your own temple? Wang Fulin took advantage of his unpreparedness to sneak attack, and successfully scratched Xiaobei's most unbearable waist hard, seeing that he exclaimed and hurriedly dodged away, he was triumphant, but at this moment, a snowball came to him, impartially hitting him in the head. He wiped the remnants of snow off his face in annoyance, only to see a group of naughty boys scattering in a hurry, while the three stunned little ones in the other side of the room were in a hurry to defend themselves.
"Brother-in-law, I didn't do it, it was those boys who ran away who caused trouble!"
"Dad, I'm sorry, it was my hand that slipped."
"Little official, you're not hurt, are you?"
Compared with Ye Xiaopang, who hurriedly shirked his responsibility, Jinbao's honest confession and Qiu Feng's concern made Wang Fulin angry, he squatted down without saying a word and pinched a snowball and smashed it over, this time it was replaced by Ye Xiaopang being smashed and grinning. Suddenly, one big and three small all joined the battle group, and the snowballs flew all over the sky for a while, and even Xiaobei was hit twice, and fought back in annoyance. When this fierce battle was over, all five people had to go in to change their clothes and hang them to dry, but their faces were full of joy.
The Lantern Festival in Beijing is very different from other places, especially the lantern festival on Dongcheng Dengshikou Street, which is the crown of the world, and it is said that there is a royal lantern festival at Donghua Gate, which is not a lively place for ordinary people. Although every year during the Lantern Festival, the people watching the lanterns do not know how many things they will lose, or how many cases of abduction and trafficking of women and children will occur, even if one after another officials demand the abolition of the Lantern Festival Lantern Market, and even come up with the reason of wasting money and food, they have not been able to stop this festival celebrated by the whole country. As a result, Wang Fulin, who entered Beijing for the first time, had to take his family to join in the excitement against the cold wind.
After the end of this year, the curtain of the first month came to an end, and the triennial examination really began to kick off. Hongluo Factory began to pull a cart of smokeless and high-quality Hongluo charcoal to the Tribute Academy, and the chief and deputy examiners and fellow examiners began to prepare for many matters in the Tribute Academy, and the candidates began to prepare for the examination in full swing, as well as all kinds of feudal superstition activities before the examination. Among them, there are only a few who go to the Buddhist temple to pray for this year's must-win, and more people plead the most is to have a good weather for the three nine days of the entrance test, first of all, don't snow, secondly, don't rain, and the other is to be able to divide a strong number room, less freezing......
There is so much chaos that there are so many things to count.
When the first day of the first month of March, when the Gongyuan opened the dragon gate to let the candidates enter, Wang Fulin, who had just participated in the Nanzhili Township Examination, saw the more spectacular scene, and couldn't help but think of the scene when Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, saw the scene of the gathering of scribes in the imperial examination field, and sighed that the heroes of the world were all in my heart. It's a pity that the imperial examination has developed from the Tang and Song dynasties to the present, and the road is getting narrower and narrower. There's less and less room to play. However, the clamp on the literati and artists is getting bigger and bigger. Think so. When he came to his room, he hung up the curtain and put the board on it for the first time, to check whether it was strong and firm, and when he was busy working, he saw the difficult brother next door.
At this glance, he was stunned, and the other party was also dumbfounded. The two stared at each other for a while. Eventually, I will smile. It turned out that Wang Fulin's neighbor was none other than Zhang Juzheng's eldest son, Zhang Jingxiu. After being dragged back by Zhang Jingxiu as a guest, Wang Fulin went to Zhang's Mansion twice, but both when Zhang Juzheng was away. He and Zhang Jingxiu discussed some articles and scriptures, and never talked about poetry and songs, although they can't say what so-called close friends are, but they finally have some friendship.
At this moment, while everyone was settling down, Zhang Jingxiu suddenly asked in a low voice: "Brother Wang Xian, my father is trying to avoid suspicion." This time, I didn't interfere with the questions and so on. ”
Wang Fulin only remembered that during Zhang Juzheng's reign, several of his sons were admitted to the Jinshi. Among them, there is also such a top as the champion list, but I don't care too much about what year it is. Because of this, when he heard that Zhang Juzheng was selflessly avoiding suspicion this time, he didn't know whether it was true or not, so he praised this Shoufu Lord casually, anyway, he praised people and didn't want money. And Zhang Jingxiu seemed to be very happy with Wang Fulin's praise, and said with a smile: "All in all, let's work together and do our best!" ”
When he settled his room and set up the foot stove by the way, Wang Fulin sat down. In order to show the importance of the examination, the imperial court has allocated a lot of red charcoal for the court to supply the examination, which has been the rule for many years, but in the final analysis, it is completely insufficient to rely on the example, so if there are conditions, you have to bring extra points, or bribe the patrol officer, so that people can supply themselves a little more. Wang Fulin is well versed in the black hole, of course he will not be reluctant to give up the silver, and when he sees Zhang Jingxiu, there are also people who take care of him, and he knows that this is the privilege of the first assistant eldest son, of course, there will be no imbalance.
Although Zhang Juzheng did not write the questions in this examination, the questions in the three examinations were stable and stable, and it was not very difficult, and Wang Fulin did not plan to find another way, but only wrote the words well and the articles mellow according to Wang Daokun's special instructions before the exam. As for the problem solving of the first four-book question, it is his strong point, and he is finally handy.
However, compared with the three tests in Tianfu Township, the biggest difficulty in taking the spring exam this time is that it has entered the early March but is still cold weather. Especially falling asleep at night is even more torturous. Even during the day, there are occasional cases of ink condensation, stiffness and numbness in the hands and feet, and even news that someone is sick.
The nine-day spring meeting test is completely a big competition of brain and physical strength. Thanks to the blessing of the eldest son of the first assistant next door, Wang Fulin actually got the treatment of someone who often took the initiative to send hot soup, and when he stayed up until nine days and left, although he described him as haggard and unkempt, he finally survived. Seeing the long queue of candidates waiting for the exit with the exam basket and the quilt in front of him, he was not in a hurry to come out, and hummed a little song to tie the silk quilt with a straw rope, but found that Zhang Jingxiu did not ask for the quilt, and was standing behind him with the exam basket.
"Brother Wang Xian is so easy?"
"I'm done with the exams, and no matter how much I want, it's useless, and I'm happy in the bitterness." Wang Fulin couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhang Jingxiu's expression of suffering from gains and losses, "Don't ask me how I did in the exam, those who memorize articles and ask for advice after the exam, if you want me to say that it is the most meaningless, everyone says it is good, and it is not as good as saying it to the examiner and the examiner." Anyway, I'm only eighteen, and I'll only be twenty-one in the next retest. I think that when Wang Shilang of the military department was called a young talent in the entrance examination, he was already twenty-four, and Lord Shoufu seemed to be twenty-three, right? Anyway, I'm not greedy, it's best if I win, and if I don't win, I'll do business first. ”
Zhang Jingxiu was amused by Wang Fulin's relaxed tone, and the other Jinshi around him had grown older than the two of them for many years, some secretly muttered that it was good to be young, and some smacked their tongues at Wang Fulin casually mentioned the tone of the big man in the DPRK. When Wang Fulin and Zhang Jingxiu followed the long flow of people and finally came out of this tribute courtyard, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. It's just that unlike others who are looking forward to the early release of the list, Wang Fulin is thinking about waiting for his reward after returning home.
It seems that Xiaobei said that he would let the cook make a roasted whole sheep, and Cheng Naixuan would also go over, this meal should not be bad, right?
PS: Continue to ask for a guaranteed monthly pass, only the third is behind - (to be continued......)
