Chapter 24: Talent Selection
Mao Shixue raised his eyebrows, did not give a courtesy, and said to Ning Caichen arrogantly: "You are here too? I hope you have real talent and learning, don't cry and run home." He looked like he had succeeded.
Huang and Wang Ersheng followed behind Mao Shixue, with a smug face.
Seeing them, it was obvious that Mao Shixue had probed Ning Caichen's bottom from them, and he could be called a person who knew the other, no wonder he looked like he was winning. It had just snowed, and this Confucian banquet was held, but I am afraid that it was also deliberate. It's just a pity that the other he knows is the original Ning Caichen's, but not the current one.
Looking at the appearance of this Mao Shixue with this big thorn, Ning Caichen felt a little unhappy in his heart. It's fake to learn this way, but Ning Caichen is real. If you really lose, you don't find the reason in yourself, but you bury others. Ning Caichen would not give him a good face.
Ning Caichen looked left and right, and there was really no one around, so he pointed to his face and pretended to be surprised: "Are you talking about me? Isn't this a Confucian banquet? Could it be that this is not a Confucian banquet for me? I said why I have been sitting for so long, and no one has served food and drink." Since it wasn't for me to be entertained, and the host was stingy, then I'll go. β
He definitely did it on purpose!
Mao Shi learned a lot of fire. Since Ning Caichen came, it was impossible for him not to know who this banquet was for. But he said so. What is he?
It's very annoying. At least that's true for Mao Shixue.
This Confucian banquet was wholly invested by him, and it was a borrowing house and an invitation to the university. This money and favors have all cost a lot.
But this banquet can't be called his own name, even if everyone knows that this banquet was made by him, but it can still only be in the name of Ning Caichen, who made him only a fourth.
Of course, he can just let him go, but in this way, his goal will not be achieved, and he will have to leave a bad reputation of being too small to contain things, and drive away Tanhua.
Therefore, no matter how ugly Mao Shixue's face was, in front of everyone, he couldn't get a seizure, so he had to shout: "You stay honest with me, don't make trouble and make jokes." β
Ning Caichen smiled faintly: "Who are you? You actually taught me a lesson? Could it be that this is your home? Okay, if you don't suppress the master, I'll leave." β
"You!" Mao Shixue dared to let him leave, but he couldn't say anything about this apology. "You sit down, and the food will be there right away. I just hope you'll be able to eat it then. β
"Of course I can eat it. If you are a person who is right and does a good job, how can you not eat this delicacy? As for you, as the same year, I would like to advise you. Fame and wealth are loved by everyone. A manly man, he would rather take it from the straight than ask for it from the song. It is not the behavior of the reader who goes astray, but it makes others laugh. β
Ning Caichen is both sarcastic and consoling.
In these dynasties, it was a major event for the country to open a branch and take scholars. It's just that he succeeded for a while, and if he was exempted from Ning Caichen's fame, he would be able to get good?
Maybe progressively, he can get the name of three yuan, but the gain is definitely not worth the loss.
Not to mention the school in this place, the examiners alone are annoyed first. "You dare to overturn the volume we set?"
Maybe the adults think too much and don't embarrass him as a little minion, but his career will definitely be much more difficult.
Originally, it was hostile, and Ning Caichen should not have persuaded him, but thinking of his word "inheritance", it was obvious that his father had taken great pains to know that he was not suitable for officialdom. Ning Caichen comprehended the old man's intentions, how could he bear not to say a word, watching him destroy his future.
Good medicine is bitter, and loyalty is against the ear.
Mao Shixue's face turned red, obviously not listening. After holding it for a long time, he whispered hatefully: "Don't be complacent, you won't be complacent for a while." β
After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left. Two of his henchmen followed.
After a while, a housekeeper-like person accompanied two middle-aged people in official uniforms to walk in.
Two officials, one is the county magistrate Qian Yi, and the other Ning Caichen doesn't recognize it, so it is estimated that they are officials in the government.
It's just that these two officials were very polite to the butler. This also made Ning Caichen believe that this mansion could really be Cai Jing's. is the so-called seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, otherwise, how could the two officials be so polite to someone.
When they came in, the other scholars all stood up and saluted again and again: "Meet Master Qian and Master Professor." β
Only then did Ning Caichen know that he was a professor of Fuxue.
Although the person who came was a professor of Fuxue, Qian Xianling was a six-grade civil official after all, and he was a local parent, so he coughed lightly, said something about the prosperity of the local literary style, and pasted gold on his face......
Ning Caichen naturally had no interest in listening to this kind of official clichΓ©, but just ate and drank by himself.
This wine is still good for grain. Although it is not as strong as the modern wine, it has a long entrance and an endless aftertaste, which is very much the taste of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Uncle, why are you hiding here and drinking?"
It was genuine, but I don't know when this Xu Immortal actually ran over and came to his side.
"Why are you here?"
"Not only did I come, but my husband and his classmates all came to cheer for my uncle. β
"But how did you get in?"
Huang Ming's school is a private school, which is not a system with public schools such as county schools.
Private learning is built by private people, so the reputation of this private school depends on the maintenance of Mr.
For example, Zhu Xi opened an apprenticeship in his hometown, and under his fame, even the public school had to retreat.
And Huang Ming, who has not been able to try for a long time, will naturally not have any reputation. It is the object of the oppression of public schools.
For the court, it is enough to have a public school in the world, and there is no need for any private education. Therefore, from the perspective of the court, public learning and private learning are opposites, and private learning without prestige is naturally the object of suppression.
For events such as the selection of talents by the government school, private schools are generally not eligible to participate.
Xu Xian smiled: "It's still my uncle's big face, we said that it was my uncle's relatives and friends, so we came in." β
Ning Caichen then thought that in addition to being famous for his love of human snakes, this Xu Immortal did not seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp in itself.
It's just that he didn't help this time, but added to the chaos.
Ning Caichen is here to make soy sauce this time, and he is not here to show off, so why do you need any relatives and friends. On the contrary, the less anyone knows about him, the better.
He arranged Xu Xian by his side and looked at him closely.
At this time, our Qian Da County Order also mentioned the matter of selecting talents for government schools. No wonder the county school officials didn't come. It's embarrassing.
The professor came up again and added that this official seems to have been the same since ancient times. "This selection does not test others, only one poem, one word, and one text, and you can enter the school if you pass the test. β
After all, they are only highly similar dynasties, not exactly the same dynasties in the history of the earth. In this world, poetry is not a trail. Poetry is fair, poetry is a waiter, this world is endless, and it is also a criterion for selecting talents.
