Over the years, Xiao Mo has always eaten at the same table with Wang Jirui, but since Deng Shangquan appeared, Wang Jirui has stopped doing this. 1 novel.1.0 text version debuted [] Because every time Xiao Mo asked Deng Shangquan to eat with him, Deng Shangquan was different from the above and below, and he should be careful to abide by the subordinates and refuse for reasons.

The current situation is that Xiao Mo is eating alone in the room, while Deng Shangquan and Wang Jirui are standing next to him with their hands down and waiting, which makes Xiao Mo always feel awkward.

"You say, I'm listening."

After hearing Deng Shangquan's words, Xiao Mo put down his chopsticks and said.

However, Deng Shangquan did not speak, but glanced at Wang Jirui beside him.

Xiao Mo sighed secretly and said to Wang Jirui: "Ji Rui, since you don't want to eat at the same table with me, then go down and eat." You feel awkward watching me eat here. ”

Wang Ji Ruiyue felt that the relationship between Xiao Mo and Deng Shangquan was strange. It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to know Deng Shangquan's origin at all, and had asked Deng Shangquan before, but Deng Shangquan changed the topic without a trace.

After Wang Jirui left, Deng Shangquan finally spoke.

"First of all, the matter of this county exam, the two academicians have explained to me, before the county exam, please write something casually and give it to me, so that I can pass it on to the three deputy examiners, so that you can also recognize the handwriting. Of course, with the young master's knowledge, it is not difficult to solve the yuan with a first name, but just in case, it is still necessary to do some of these things. ”

Hearing Deng Shangquan say this, Xiao Mo frowned slightly, from the bottom of his heart, he still wanted to figure out this time to test his current true level in the county test, but since Songshan Academy had already arranged it like this, Xiao Mo still nodded.

Then, Xiao Mo seemed to think of something, and asked Deng Shangquan: "Songshan Academy emerges countless talents every year, will these so-called genius names be obtained by this means?" ”

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Deng Shangquan smiled slightly and replied: "Don't hide it from the young master, people who were born in Songshan Academy over the years have more or less used some methods that should not be used on the way to the imperial examination. But in fact, it's for the sake of fairness. Taizu reformed the imperial examination system before the dynasty, and it did ensure the fairness of the imperial examination to the people of the world in a large way, but the same system has lasted for so many years, and no matter how perfect the system is, people have found loopholes. They used these means and we didn't use them, which in itself is the biggest injustice to their own people, and the Jinshi who have been able to participate in the palace examination over the years are either from various families or major academies, and there are few children from poor families, it is not accidental. And there are many poor children in our Songshan Academy, and this is also to ensure their fairness. ”

After a pause, Deng Shangquan continued: "In fact, ten years ago, in the palace examination, among the first sixty jinshi, twenty-five people were born in my Songshan Academy. The most important thing is that those who are supported by our Songshan Academy, he must have the knowledge that meets the conditions of our support, for example, young master, if you don't have the matching knowledge, we will never help you win the name of Xie Yuan. ”

Hearing Deng Shangquan's words, Xiao Mo glanced at Deng Shangquan in surprise and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have such knowledge." ”

Deng Shangquan laughed at himself: "Where is my knowledge, these words are said to me by Mr. Yuxian." ”

Xiao Mo was slightly stunned and asked, "Have you seen Mr. Yuxian?" ”

Hearing Xiao Mo's question, Deng Shangquan revealed his true feelings for the first time in front of Xiao Mo.

At least, in Xiao Mo's view, what Deng Shangquan revealed at this moment was indeed his true feelings.

I saw a trace of pride and reverence flash on Deng Shangquan's face, and then said softly: "In fact, before serving the young master, I was one of the six scholars beside Mr. Yuxian. ”

Xiao Mo couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, glanced at Deng Shangquan deeply, and said slowly: "I didn't expect you to be a close person to Mr. Yuxian before, and Mr. Yuxian actually sent you to my side, which really flattered me." ”

Deng Shangquan smiled and said: "Young Master, you are humble, Mr. Yuxian's vision will not be wrong, after reading the story you wrote, he has already decided to send me to your side." ”

Xiao Mo nodded, and didn't delve into it, but said, "I was already thinking, since Songshan Academy dared to send you here, as the contact between me and them, you should never be an ordinary subordinate." But I didn't expect you to be Mr. Yuxian's side. ”

"No matter what kind of subordinate person it is, it's just a subordinate person."

Deng Shangquan once again regained his former humility and respectfulness, bowed his head and replied.

"What other secrets are you hiding from me, can't you let me know them together?"

Xiao Mo asked.

"I am your servant, young master, how can I hide it from you, young master? If you want to know anything, young master, I will answer whatever it is. Before I left, Mr. Yuxian had already told me that after I left Songshan Academy, I would first be your scholar, young master, and then the contact person between you and Songshan Academy. ”

Although he didn't believe in this at all, Xiao Mo still nodded and asked, "Okay, since you have been with Mr. Yuxian before, then let me ask you, Mr. Yuxian, what kind of person is he?" ”

This is indeed the question that Xiao Mo has always wanted to know, Xiao Mo has read a lot of articles by Niu Yuxian, that kind of atmosphere and elegance, even if he has not seen himself, he can also feel it deeply, but after the contact with Songshan Academy these days, it is not the same thing at all.

"A saint."

However, Deng Shangquan didn't think about it, and replied simply and clearly, as if this answer had already been engraved in the depths of his heart.

Hearing Deng Shangquan's answer, Xiao Mo didn't know how to continue this topic, so he simply stopped continuing the topic and said, "Forget it, what's going on next." ”

"The next thing is about Zhu Ruide this time, his relationship with our Songshan Academy has always been bad, but his connections among some Confucian scholars are quite good, so in order for the young master to clear up the relationship with Songshan Academy in the future and lower Zhang Qian's vigilance, you might as well get closer to Zhu Ruide through this imperial examination, with his connections, there will be many benefits for you in other aspects in the future."

Xiao Mo nodded, but didn't continue to say anything, just continued to eat.

In the next two days, Xiao Mo didn't go anywhere except to report to the school in Changzi County, but just stayed in the inn to review what he had learned before. But Deng Shangquan disappeared for a long time, thinking that he was arranging a county test for Xiao Mo.

For this mysterious Deng Shangquan, Xiao Mo no longer asked, and let him go to the activities.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and in a hurry, the time for the county exam finally arrived.
