Chapter 57: Coming Out on Top (2nd Update)
The shopkeeper looked at everyone's expressions, and after a while, he ordered Xiao Er to help Xu Chengzhi up.
After Xu Chengzhi got up, he didn't have the face to stay any longer, and he forgot the apology he had planned, so he quickly fled, and his figure was very embarrassed.
Everyone watched, full of sighs and sighs.
Xu Chengzhi can become a tribute student, ranking within the hundred, if he knows how to be cautious in words and deeds, not to mention the future is immeasurable, he will definitely be able to sit on one side as a parent official, but now there is nothing.
At the same time, there is such an example in front of them, and everyone invariably thinks of more strictly restraining their words and deeds, this person really can't take a wrong step, or else a wrong step.
Does Xu Chengzhi regret it?
The bowels are all repentant.
But it was of no use, for the wine was to be drunk by himself, and the words were spoken by himself.
Misfortune comes from the mouth, and nothing more than that.
Thinking about it, Xu Chengzhi is afraid that he will never be contaminated with anything related to wine again in this life.
After Xu Chengzhi left, the shopkeeper heated up the field again, and asked a few questions one after another, Tong Xuewen answered a few selectively, and the others who debated had nothing to say.
It wasn't until someone next to the shopkeeper whispered a few words, and the shopkeeper heard what he said, that the last topic ended.
Kangxi was reading the exam papers in the private room while listening to the retelling, and he was very satisfied with Tong Xuewen's performance.
Kangxi's requirement for Tong Xuewen is to be able to be on par with the top name, but now he is overwhelming everyone and shines, and what he says makes others have nothing to say, exceeding his expectations, which is simply an unexpected joy.
How could Kangxi not be happy.
And it's not just about the current theory, but also about the exam papers.
Looking at the exam papers, you can see many problems, in fact, some of them are well written, but the best one must be Tong Xuewen, the style of writing is atmospheric and rigorous, quoting scriptures to the truth, comprehensive and has their own opinions, the key is not to look abrupt, this is very rare.
It's a very fresh article, comfortable to read, and unconventional.
Kangxi handed Tong Xuewen's exam paper to Zhang Ying: "How does Zhang Aiqing think Tong Xuewen writes." β
Zhang Ying took Tong Xuewen's exam paper, in fact, he had already read it just now, and now Long Live Lord asked, after pondering Long Live Lord's attitude, he replied truthfully: "Tong Xuewen has done a good job, in the opinion of a servant, he is a pragmatic person, and he can be of great use." β
When Kangxi heard this, he nodded with satisfaction: "Then I'll hand it over to Aiqing, and I won't come forward." β
As for whether to accept children, Kangxi didn't say, but Zhang Ying was moved.
Long live the Lord means to cultivate Tong Xuewen, as far as Tong Xuewen's family background is concerned, he recognizes this kid and just says that it is the icing on the cake for him, and the only thing that can play a role is his reputation among scholars.
Thinking about it like this, it's not bad to recognize a child, after so many years, Long Live Lord finally let go, he can't always be alone.
Tong Xuewen Ama he knows, he is a good one, and the family atmosphere is also positive.
Zhang Ying thought about it in his heart, and said to Kangxi before going downstairs: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that Tong Xuewen is quite in line with the slave's mind, and he is very happy in his heart, and he intends to accept a child, I wonder if the long live master thinks it is feasible?" β
Kangxi smiled and said: "Aiqing thinks it's good to be in tune, today I borrowed your first name, I didn't think I could really find a disciple for you, it seems that Tong Xuewen and you really have a fate." β
Zhang Ying smiled on his face, what he thought in his heart was true, there was indeed fate, but it was all "matched" by Long Live Lord, otherwise he had no intention of accepting disciples.
However, there is one thing in his heart that is very clear, as long as Tong Xuewen continues like this, don't do anything foolish, Long Live Lord will definitely reuse him in the future, otherwise he will not pull him to pull the banner, to put it bluntly, his role is to gild Tong Xuewen.
After Zhang Ying figured it out, he went downstairs and went to the lobby, with a stack of exam papers in his hand.
When the shopkeeper saw him coming, he hurriedly said, "Master Zhang is here." β
Zhang Ying looked at everyone with a calm face: "Your examination papers have been read by the officials, and they have simply ranked them, after several considerations, Tong Xuewen is slightly better in this competition, and the examination papers will be posted by the officials later, you can take a look." β
After that, Zhang Ying handed the exam paper to the shopkeeper, and after the shopkeeper took it, he asked Xiao Er to post it quickly.
After posting it, everyone wanted to see the exam paper of Tong Xuewen's first name, so they swarmed around it, and it took almost a quarter of an hour before everyone could be evacuated.
Zhang Ying said: "What are your dissatisfaction with this decision? β
No one spoke, and after a while, he said: "Since no one has an opinion, then the results of this competition will come out, the first place is Tong Xuewen, the second place is Fu Boyuan, and the third place is ...... The sixth place is Wang Linyu...... The tenth place is Zhang Zhijie. β
Zhang Ying stopped after reading out the top ten, and then said: "I said at the beginning that the official will choose one person to be the son of the official in this competition, Tong Xuewen, I don't know if you are willing to be the son of the official?" β
Tong Xuewen was naturally willing, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the student has seen the master." β
"Good good ......"
Tong Cheng'er and Shu Yu have been paying attention all the time, knowing that Tong Xuewen won the first place and worshipped Zhang Ying as a teacher, both of them were full of smiles.
"The second brother is really competitive."
"Tong Gongzi is indeed a capable person."
Tong Cheng'er looked at Shu Yu's face full of joy and pride, and joked with a smile: "Sister Shu Yu just calls the second brother's name, it's too raw to call Tong Gongzi." β
Name called? Is that good? It's so sudden!
Shu Yu: "Why don't I call Brother Tong!" β
Tong Cheng'er thought that the second brother was the second, called Brother Tong, if the two got married in the future, they would not be able to call the wrong person in public, which was not good.
Tong Cheng'er: "Sister Shu Yu should not directly call the second brother Xuewen brother." β
Shu Yu silently read this new title twice in his heart, and there was a hint of sweetness and ripples in his heart: "Then I'll call Brother Xuewen!" β
Shu Yu already has a good impression of Tong Xuewen, after all, he has a good appearance, the clarity and warmth of a son, and the wisdom of a scholar, as steady as a mountain, and as soft as water.
Today she saw with her own eyes his excellence, the pride of the sky, this person is her fiancΓ©, she will marry in the future, and she will stay with him for a lifetime, her feelings and love for him are getting deeper and deeper.
So when Tong Cheng'er talked about calling him Shengfen, even if she was a little shy, she still changed her words.
Afraid of lovesickness, already lovesick, when it is the turn of lovesickness, there is nowhere to say, and there is a trace between the eyebrows.
is almost the case of Shu Yu.
Fortunately, her lovesickness is in line with etiquette.
Tong Cheng'er is not blind, looking at this situation, she can't help but be happy for her second brother, looking at the appearance of her second sister-in-law in the future, she will get married in the future, and the two will definitely be able to reconcile with Meimei.
That's nice!
At the end of the competition, some people wanted to take the opportunity to perform more in front of Zhang Ying, but Zhang Ying was unwilling, so he pulled the newly baked children to refuse everyone and went to the private room on the second floor.
As soon as they came up, Liang Jiugong came over.
"Master Zhang, Master Tong, long live the two of you!"
The two entered the private room, Kangxi looked at Tong Xuewen, very satisfied, after the death of Nalan Rongruo, there has been no one who has made great achievements in reading in the Manchu military banner for a long time, Tong Xuewen can overwhelm everyone, see how the Han people still say that the Manchus can't read.
The more Kangxi looked at Tong Xuewen, the more satisfied he felt.
"Studying literature, you're doing a good job."
"Liang Jiugong, after returning to the palace, send the Yan Yan in my treasury and my newly obtained jade Go board to Xuewen, he has merit today, and he should be rewarded."
Liang Jiugong smiled and said, "Yes." β
Tong Xuewen: "Slave thank you for your grace." β
Kangxi looked at Tong Xuewen with satisfaction: "You are a good one, I look forward to your palace exam results, play well." β
"The slave must do his best to live up to the expectations of the Long Live Lord."
