Chapter 678: Look the Other Way
"I don't know this young woman, but what are your orders?" Mr. Li followed Fu Wenjing to the courtyard of Fenglin Academy, and asked her in fear, worried that if Fu Wenjing flew up, he would kick him like a table.
"I don't dare to do it, I just want to ask you to do a good job of teaching and educating people as a teacher should do. There are wounds on Changsheng's arms, both blue and purple, both new and old. I can see at a glance that he hasn't been bullied for a day or two, are you blind? Fu Wenjing scolded unceremoniously.
"The young woman misunderstood, I have more than enough heart and not enough strength! I can't afford to offend the parents of those children, and if I do, I won't be able to open this school. But Changsheng's parents are different, they just open porcelain kilns. I...... I can't help it! Mr. Li explained helplessly.
"Are you a showman?" Fu Wenjing looked at Mr. Li with a big head and a thick neck, but he looked like a young man.
Mr. Li arched his hands ashamedly and nodded: "Yes, I am the second year of the emperor's accession to the throne, and I am a talent who has been examined. I also used to take the exam, but I didn't get the lift, so I became a teacher! ”
Fu Wenjing looked carefully, Mr. Li's appearance didn't look like he was lying, because in ancient times, the examination of talent was the first step to gaining fame, and no one dared to tell such a lie.
Just now he also said that he had taken the exam, and Xiucai was only lifted after the township examination held in various provinces, and winning the lifting means that one foot has stepped into the official career, even if he fails in the national-level examination, he will have the opportunity to be a school official and become a county magistrate.
Because Fu Wenjing has been with Long Xingche for a long time, accompanying him to review the recitals, she often hears him talk about things like the imperial examination, so she also understands these things very thoroughly!
After Fu Wenjing learned that Mr. Li was Xiucai, she circled around him with her hands behind her back, she once asked Long Xingche what was the difference between Xiucai and ordinary people, and Long Xingche also introduced it to her in great detail, she wanted to see if this Mr. Li was really different from ordinary people.
From Long Xingche's mouth, Fu Wenjing learned that although Xiucai is based on a kind of academic qualifications under Jinshi and Juren, it was also very remarkable in ancient times.
Due to the low quality of education in ancient times, education was not valued. There are very few people who can read and write, but the gold content of Xiucai is much more beautiful than that of today's graduate students, and they enjoy the privileges granted by the state everywhere.
First of all, Xiucai is exempted from military service, and in ancient times, the conscription was very heavy, once Xiucai was selected, the family could exempt two men from conscription.
Secondly, Xiucai does not have to pay public grain, and the whole family does not have to pay public grain, which is very affordable.
Again, Xiucai's family can use slaves and maids, and ordinary people are not allowed to use slaves and maids in their homes, even if you have more money, you can't use slaves and maids, otherwise you will be severely punished according to the law. And if you win the show, you will have the privilege of "being a master", and unlike the common people, you can also use slaves!
In addition, Xiucai also enjoys the privilege of dressing, and can wear a plate-collared caftan that is strictly forbidden to be worn by ordinary people, a square scarf on his head, and long boots on his feet. Everywhere Xiucai goes, everyone must respect the three-point Xiucai, and they can also be exempted from punishment. If you break the law, you can't be arrested and interrogated casually, let alone tortured, even if you kill people, set fire and rape, you must wait until your reputation for showing off is canceled before you can be punished and sentenced.
In ancient times, when ordinary people knelt when they saw officials, Xiucai could see that officials didn't have to kneel. The privilege can also directly meet the county magistrate, and scolding people can also be exempted, and even those officials in the county government dare not eat at the same table as Xiucai.
"I can't imagine that you are like this, you are still a showman, since you are a showman, then your knowledge must be very good?" Fu Wenjing understood that not just anyone can blame Xiucai. I felt that I should find another way to punish this Mr. Li.
"Although I am not talented in the lower class, I can't pass the general problem in the lower class!" When Mr. Li talked about learning, his waist immediately hardened!
Fu Wenjing saw Mr. Li, who was bent over just now, and after hearing her mention her knowledge, she immediately put on a posture, and she regretted it a little after she looked like she was going to be higher or lower than herself. She was worried that she couldn't compare to Mr. Li, but she would lose face to Changsheng!
But since the words have been thrown, they can't be taken back! thought to herself, after all, she was a modern person thousands of years later, and she knew that Mr. Li, an ancient person, would not lose to him if he didn't know a lot of things!
"Well, although the little girl is not talented, she likes to read poetry books, and she has read too many books, and when she hears that people who are knowledgeable, her heart is itching. Why don't I just read a few lines of the poems I have read, if you can match it, even if you win, if you don't match, even if I win? ”
Fu Wenjing hurriedly collected the remaining memories in his mind when he accompanied Long Xingche to read the book. and some poetry books she read in modern times. If you are well prepared, you must take this Mr. Li no matter what!
"Young woman, please ask the question, you're welcome! If you fall in the exam, you are willing to apologize to Changsheng for your efforts! Mr. Li didn't take Fu Wenjing in his eyes at all.
Because, when he saw that Fu Wenjing knew martial arts, he thought that Fu Wenjing's literary skills were definitely not very good! Moreover, just now, Fu Wenjing pulled Changsheng over to settle accounts with him, and obviously put on a brave and unscrupulous appearance!
"Well, I heard you say that you once passed the exam, but failed, presumably you also have patriotic feelings, why don't we use this as a topic for poetry?"
Fu Wenjing proposed this, mainly because when he was reading a book with Long Xingche, Long Xingche's study was mostly filled with such verses. When she was tired of reading medical books and wanted to change her "taste", she also saw the expansion of her blood!
"I think it's very good!" Mr. Li was full of confidence at this time.
"Who has not died since ancient times,"
"Leave the innocence and sweat. This is Wen Tianxiang's "Crossing the Zero Ding Yang". Mr. Li even named the author and the name of the poem.
"Drinking horses and crossing autumn water, the water is cold and the wind is like a knife."
"The day of Pingsha is not gone, and the gloom is in the dark. This is Wang Changling's "Stopper". ”
Fu Wenjing also secretly admired Mr. Li's ability to immediately match these two poems and say the author and the name of the poem.
But she was really not flustered at all in her heart, because she knew that the dynasty in which Long Xingche was located probably belonged to the same period as the real historical Ming Dynasty. If you want to get this Mr. Li, you just need to find some poems after this period!
Fu Wenjing smiled slyly, and then found an article that she hadn't read in Long Xingche's study, Gong Zizhen's "Jihai Miscellaneous Poems" in the Qing Dynasty and memorized it Lang Lang!
"Kyushu is angry and thunderous, and it is sad that all horses are together."
After Mr. Li heard Fu Wenjing recite these two lines of poetry, he was stunned for a moment! He didn't have any memory of the poem in his head, and his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Fu Wenjing. Then he frowned again, trying to search for the memories in his head.
