Chapter 497: Go to Peng's Mansion
Zhao Ruxi has a slight regret about this ranking, but it is unexpected in the eyes of outsiders.
Zhao Ruxi is the one who fell into the eyes of the emperor. With the eldest princess Shangde here, Xiao Qi also knew that Zhao Ruxi had participated in the hospital examination, and he also paid attention to her ranking.
Hearing Gonggong Xie report that Zhao Ruxi had taken the sixth place in the exam, he raised his eyebrows: "Hey, this girl looks really good." ”
He had been emperor for many years and was very knowledgeable about the situation in the imperial examinations.
Because Xiucai and Juren are both tested locally, they are very affected by the region. In the entire Great Jin Dynasty, the talents and people in two places are the most difficult to test, one is the capital, and the other is the Jiangnan region with a prosperous literary style.
Zhao Ruxi only took the sixth place in the college examination, but this is in the capital. If she is placed in any place other than the capital and Jiangnan, it will be a proper case-head.
"Did she copy her article? Let me see. ”
The emperor of the county test and the government test all wanted Zhao Ruxi's article to read, and Gonggong Xie naturally would not forget it this time, so he specially asked someone to copy her article and present it to Xiao Yu.
"Well, yes, it's still as good as ever, and the style is steady." Xiao Qi looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.
"She's going to take the township exam in the fall?" He asked.
"Listen to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, yes." Xie Gong is fair.
Xiao Qi nodded.
He thought about it for a while and wrote a letter to Kang Shilin, asking him if Zhao Zhiwei needed Peng Guoan's guidance, and if he needed it, he could come forward to help intercede.
Peng Guoan, as the country's chief priest, naturally has nothing to say about his knowledge. His Mr. Guozijian is all contemporary Confucian. If necessary, he will say hello, and others will also give him face and give Zhao Zhiwei a lecture.
In Xiao Qi's opinion, the husband of Bac Ninh Women's College is okay, but it is compared with the women's colleges in other counties. It's still not comparable to Mr. Guozijian.
Although Zhao Zhiwei is a woman, she is a talent that can be created. Not to mention how well she painted, but only that she had built a safe and improved a loom, and that he, as emperor, should reward her. Instead of giving her some jewelry that can only be seen and not moved, it is better to give her a little help in the imperial examination.
He believed that his cousin would be very satisfied with his letter after receiving his letter.
Sure enough, Kang Shilin was very happy after receiving the letter, and immediately sent someone to Suipingbo Mansion to inquire.
Zhao Ruxi was overjoyed when she heard it.
The gentlemen of the Bac Ninh Girls' College have no problem tutoring the children's examination and the college examination, but because almost none of the students of the girls' college take the higher-level examinations, their research on the topics and solutions of the township examination and the general examination is certainly not as good as that of the gentlemen of Guozijian.
To get the guidance of Peng Guoan and others, she was overjoyed and couldn't ask for it.
She immediately went to Kangfu in person to express her wishes to the master.
"In this case, let's go to Peng's Mansion now, and then let the emperor intercede for you, so that it doesn't seem that we are oppressive with power, but sincerely study." Kang Shilin said.
Saying that, he first wrote a letter to reply to Xiao Qi, and then asked Zhao Ruxi to send his subordinates to buy some gifts on the street, and the master and apprentice went to Peng's mansion.
Peng Guoan, as the country's chief priest, has always cherished talents the most.
Since the last painting competition, Peng Guoan saw Zhao Ruxi's paintings and learned that she was the anonymous painter he admired very much, so he couldn't wait to admit her to Guozijian as a student.
After the painting competition, he also specially brought his second son over and told him to walk around with the Yue family more and try to help the Yue family if they have any difficulties.
His thoughts were different from those of the old lady of Weiguo. The old lady of Wei Guo thinks about prosperity, glory and disgrace, and sophistication. Peng Guoan purely felt that Zhao Zhiwei was a rare talent and an in-law, and they had the responsibility and obligation to help her, so that she could go further and become the glory of Dajin. and not be suppressed by others for some objective reasons, and annihilated by everyone.
Now Kang Shilin took Zhao Zhiwei to the door and asked him to read the article for Zhao Zhiwei and give him some pointers, so he naturally agreed without saying anything. There is no need for the emperor to speak.
"On the day off, you can come." He changed his usual seriousness and was very kind to Zhao Ruxi, "I'll give you some pointers." Because it is an exam, to train time urgency, it is necessary to write an essay within a certain amount of time. So I'll let you write on the spot, and I'll comment on the spot after writing. So you can stay here for half a day, so you have to be prepared. Fortunately, your sister is here, and you won't be very restrained. ”
"Thank you, Lord Peng. I finally had a day of rest in the first ten years, but I had to take up half a day. I'm really sorry to make you tired. Zhao Ruxi smiled shyly.
Peng Guoan waved his hand: "What is your name Master Peng?" I'm your sister's father-in-law, and it's right for you to call me uncle. ”
"Yes, Uncle Pemble." Zhao Ruxi changed his words as well.
Peng Guoan was satisfied, and turned to Kang Shilin and said, "Mr. Deadwood, I really envy you for having such a good apprentice." ”
Kang Shilin knew that Peng Guoan had always been serious and upright, and he would not say flattering words. Since he said "envy", it must be really envy.
He immediately laughed at the little squint: "Alas, speaking of which, I also admire my own eyes, how did you say that I saw my little apprentice at a glance with a strange bone and a different talent, and immediately decided to take her under the door?" It turns out that I have a very discerning eye, whether she is painting, studying, or being a person, she has never disappointed me. ”
Zhao Ruxi rolled her eyes in her heart.
If it weren't for her master, if she wasn't the one who was praised, she would have wanted to put a sack on him and beat him. How can anyone boast of himself and his apprentice like this?
Peng Guoan didn't seem to hear Kang Shilin's show-off at all, but seriously discussed with him how to look at people.
He also sighed: "It stands to reason that there are so many students in Guozijian, and once a year, I have come into contact with enough people." But in terms of vision, it is still much worse than your old man. Look at your four apprentices, all of them are the best among them. ”
Peng Guoan also accepted apprentices, all of whom had a talent for reading. He took it under his door and gave him personal guidance and took it with him to study.
Although these people have also been admitted to the Jinshi, in terms of achievements, one of the five is a little outstanding, and the others are really average.
People who can read may not be able to mix well in officialdom. And if you want to become a generation of scholars or writers, you also need talent and opportunities.
Kang Shilin here, just looking at the three people of Wu Huaisi, is not only a figure in the officialdom, but also has some achievements in painting. Although Zhao Ruxi is a girl and still young, she suddenly became a master in painting and created two painting methods. Each of these four apprentices is a talent.
Kang Shilin laughed out loud, looking at Peng Guoan more and more.
"Master Peng, we have known each other for many years, and I only found out today that you are Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi." He said.
Zhao Ruxi rolled her eyes again.
