Text Chapter 168: The imperial examination is difficult to reach the blue sky

Mo Yan Mo Yu was sent by Shangguan Yu to take care of his safety when Shangguan Chen had an accident last time, so he also sincerely treated him as his master.

For the two of them, Shangguan Yu is the irreplaceable Lord of eternity, and Shangguan Chen is his younger brother, that is, the person they should strive to protect.

When they were still a pair of orphaned beggars who lived on the streets and almost froze to death in winter, it was Shangguan Yu who rescued them.

Send someone to teach them martial arts - so that they have the ability to protect themselves and even protect others, teach them to read and write - so that even if they choose not to be secret guards when they grow up in the future, they can still have a skill and eat with their mouths.

In the past few years, it was Shangguan Yu who gave their group of people everything they needed to survive alone, and gave them an important choice.

These people he has spent a lot of money to cultivate, when they are about to finish their studies, they can choose to stay by his side as a secret guard, and then the tasks they perform in the future may face life and death difficulties.

Of course, you can also choose not to be a secret guard, so Shangguan Yu can place these people in his private property and do some other work.

Although there are still people who choose not to take risks and live a safer life, more people choose to continue to be Shangguan Yu's secret guard like Mo Yan and Mo Yu, guarding him and everything he cherishes.

Now that he is by Shangguan Chen's side, he has witnessed his growth more intuitively than anyone else, and Mo Yan will even feel honored in his heart.

……

Seeing the expression on Qin's face, Shangguan Chen knew that his goal had been achieved.

He stimulated the Qin family like this just now, thinking that she must be even more angry in her heart than when she didn't come, and over time, she might be even more resentful of An Qinru.

It seems that she doesn't need to do it herself, I'm afraid she will do everything she wants to do in the future, and these will have to wait for the test of time in the future.

"That nurse, we are still in a hurry to go back to Qingcheng to report the news to Mrs., so we will leave first, you have bad legs, don't send it!"

Mo Yan hugged his fists and saluted the Qin family, his movements were very down-to-earth and generous, but he was also a little disappreciative when he looked at his eyes, as if he was dealing with something, which was naturally also seen by the Qin family.

At this moment, Mo Yu dragged Qin's son-in-law open the door, and when he saw Shangguan Chen's appearance, he knew that the matter had been negotiated, so he simply let go of the person he had been holding in his hand.

After Zhang San, who was still flamboyant before, was let go by him, he hurriedly stayed away from him, as if he was afraid of him, thinking that he had been cleaned up by Mo Yu just now, so his eyes were full of fear when he looked at Mo Yu at this time.

Seeing this, Shangguan Chen didn't say anything more, and walked out of the door directly with the two of them holding the pawn list in their hands.

Before he could take a few steps forward, he heard the sound of two people talking in the courtyard behind him, so Shangguan Chen stood still and listened.

"Old woman, did those people give you a lot of silver taels just now, how much did you give, hurry up and take it out, our family has a happy life, if you dare to hide it privately, I will beat you to death today."

"What!"

"Why is it just this one hundred taels, I see that those people are rich and noble, how can they slam the door, are you hiding the rest of the money privately, say! Where are you hiding? ”

"I didn't hide it, I really only gave a hundred taels, I think it must have been instructed by An Qinru, I was kicked out by my wife because I hid her from her, but now she is taking this one hundred taels to deal with me!"

"I don't believe it, okay, you treacherous old woman, in the past few years, you have eaten me at my house, spent mine, and spilled the water by my married daughter, you go and inquire about who will run to the married daughter to mess around, and now that you have money, you will turn your face and deny people, right, see how I clean up your ...... today"

Then I heard the sound of sticks hitting the flesh and skin, and the noisy sound of two people chasing after me, and outside the small courtyard, a group of neighbors watched the excitement after a while.

Seeing so many people, Shangguan Chen didn't look at the excitement, and walked straight towards the carriage with the two of them, and instructed Mo Yan as he walked.

"You don't need to follow me and Mo Yu for a while, first take this pawnshop list and give An Qinru's jade ring back, and then ask Yu Wangfu to hand it over to the princess's sister together with this jade ring and this letter, and explain the matter with her."

After thinking about it, Shangguan Chen added.

"By the way, you must tell Sister Princess, I will definitely pay attention to the follow-up of the secret letter sent by Su Mubo in the palace for the past two days, and I will definitely help if necessary."

Mo Yan nodded, put the list he handed over to his chest, and spoke.

"Listen to the master's instructions, I'll go to the pawnshop first, you and that Chen Gongzi will go to the restaurant to eat, don't cause other things, Mo Yu must take care of the master, don't be careless and cause a big disaster."

Seeing that he came to this set of rhetoric again, Mo Yu waved his hand, very unimpressed.

"Got it, brother, you say that every time you see me acting on my own, I'm not a three-year-old child, and besides, have you ever seen me do something bad?"

“……”

Mo Yan stopped talking, thinking to himself that the unreliable things you did were not enough, but seeing that he knew what he meant, he didn't preach, and directly separated from the two of them and went to find the pawnshop.

Next to the carriage, Chen Qi, who had been waiting, was already impatient, thinking that he had known that waiting alone was so boring, even if his clothes were dirty, he should follow Shangguan Chen.

He was holding a withered grass in his hand, poking and poking here, poking and poking there, bored, and finally saw Shangguan Chen at the mouth of the alley before he was about to run away.

But now there was a person behind him, wasn't there still two when he went in just now?

Chen Qi, who was no longer entangled, felt that his head was starting to grow again, Shangguan Chen looked at him stunned, and he didn't know how to get into the carriage, so he hurriedly said.

"What are you still stunned about, aren't you going to eat at the restaurant, hurry up!"

"Oh!"

Chen Qi nodded dumbly, got into the carriage, and originally wanted to ask what was going on with those two people and who they were looking for today, but suddenly thought that this matter might be Shangguan Chen's private matter, so he was a little hesitant and didn't know whether to speak.

"I really didn't frame you in your house just now, a new restaurant has recently opened in the capital, I heard that the food tastes really good, even if you are lucky today, follow me to have a big meal, and then go home and study hard."

Shangguan Chen saw that Chen Qi had not spoken, thinking that he was a little impatient with waiting just now, so he hurriedly spoke.

Chen Qi originally felt quite happy when he heard him say something annoying, until he heard Shangguan Chen's last words, his face suddenly changed slightly.

"I said thirteen, are you deliberately stimulating me, I will write two articles after I go back, one is about the war analysis of the war between the Huns and my big man, and the other is about the gentleman not standing under the dangerous wall, I have a headache when I think about these two."

"Therefore, the imperial examination is difficult, and the imperial examination is difficult to reach the sky!"

Although Chen Qi had already prepared when he came, he decided to be more energetic in the future.

But no matter how ambitious he is, he can't solve the urgent matter that he has to write two articles to his brother when he returns.

Shangguan Chen saw him crying and mournful, knowing that these two topics were a little difficult for him, but he knew that the topic that Chen Shu came up with was deliberately testing Chen Qi, so that he could think more comprehensively.

After all, if you want to get out of the spring boudoir exam, it is not enough to rely on the rolling melons that you memorize the four books and five classics, with those, you may have already broken the sky if you are admitted to Xiucai.

Because from the beginning of the exam, the questions have begun to involve the analysis of some current affairs, and sometimes even directly ask everyone to make suggestions for a thing.

This is to examine the quality of all aspects of the people, let's start with the first topic that Chen Qi gave an example just now.

On the surface, the question is the analysis of the current war situation between the Xiongnu and Daguan, which is actually not difficult, because every battle situation has news from people at the border gates, even if a flat-headed common man is fished out on the street, he can say the truth about this war.

However, in fact, the profound meaning of this topic is not here, but in the long-term analysis of the situation in the two countries, and to express one's own views and solutions.

This begins with the analysis of the long-standing dispute between the two countries, and it is necessary to find out what the contradictions between the two countries that have existed for a long time and cannot be resolved by other means.

Secondly, it is more difficult to figure out what each other's strengths and weaknesses are, and the difficulty lies in the word justice.

It is necessary to analyze it impartially, and you can't underestimate the other party and praise yourself, otherwise this article will be marked with a "bad" word from the beginning.

And it is necessary to pay attention to a decent, all kinds of allusions can be interspersed in it, playing a role in appreciating history, and it can not be a big vernacular, which looks easy to understand, but it seems to have no connotation.

In the end, the most critical, and the most able to open up the gap between the people is the solution, and the ultimate purpose of all the arguments given by the imperial examination is not to ask people to analyze, but to solve it if the matter is handed over to you.

After all, the imperial court needs people who find problems, but it needs people who have the ability to solve problems.

To be brilliant at this point, you need to have a multifaceted knowledge base, because a decision can be related to many aspects.

For example, when it comes to fighting, then you must at least know what the terrain on both sides of Dazhou and Xiongnu is like, which is considered geographical knowledge.
