While Yuan Rui was bidding farewell to his sister, Yangzhou Academy was very lively here, and today was the day when Zhang Xuezheng thanked all the famous people who published the papers. Zhu Fuzi and several old friends are here, and in a few days, they will also return to the capital.

"Thank you teachers and gentlemen, this Yangzhou is a complete success, thanks to the unrepentant teaching of all gentlemen, I thank you for the students of Yangzhou."

Zhang Xuezheng is really a student of Zhu Fuzi, that is, with this face, Zhu Fuzi agreed to ask questions for this Yangzhou Academy exam, otherwise there is no need for such an exam.

"Self-encouragement, you don't have to be too polite, we old guys can still make a difference, and we are very happy to be able to choose some real pillars of talent for Yangzhou," Zhu Fuzi called Zhang Qian's words and comforted him.

Everyone also responded with a smile, indeed, it is also rare for them to have such a good opportunity. Then everyone began to chat, mainly about the test questions and candidates.

"Self-encouragement, let's talk about it, I didn't meet a more prominent candidate this time," Zhu Fuzi still pays attention to local students.

"Teacher, there are really a few good ones, here are the top ten strategies this time, please correct them."

Several people laughed and each took a copy of the copied policy and made some comments while reading it, and one by one the arguments were also shared by these gentlemen, and some of them also aroused the affirmation of these masters.

At this time, a gentleman from the Hanlin Academy spoke.

"Everyone, you listen to these words, how do I feel familiar, professional people do professional things, there are no mediocre talents, only people who are misplaced, how can it be a bit similar to the saying that the saint is not in his position and does not seek politics, but I have never heard this word."

"En......, I'll take a look," Zhu Fuzi put down the strategy in his hand, as if he was shocked by these two sentences.

"Professional people do professional things, and this major should refer specifically to ......"

Zhu Fuzi stopped talking and began to read carefully from beginning to end.

"This policy is so well written, it is reasonable, there is also my own understanding and thinking, and I have a unique understanding of the political situation, talents, talents!" After reading the strategy, Zhu Fuzi sighed with emotion.

When everyone heard Zhu Fuzi say this, they were also curious, and took them over one by one to read carefully.

After a while, everyone read it, and they all had a feeling, this student is good, thinking is not conventional, not only has a clear understanding, but also can analyze and demonstrate from multiple angles, and what is even more rare is that it also gives a solution idea, which is relatively easy to implement.

Zhu Fuzi became interested and asked Zhang Qian directly about the student's situation.

I know the question I came up with, but the topic is not easy to answer, I don't read deeply, I can't talk about the substance, I don't think clearly, and there is no effective method at all.

According to his idea, as long as the candidates are not conventional, the whole empty talk will be very rare.

Zhang Qian is also very familiar with this student, he has learned about the top ten students, and he is also more clear about their background, this person named Yuan Rui is really good, a native of Tonghai, and a son of an official eunuch.

"Teacher, this student named Yuan Rui has been smart since he was a child, famous as a young man, and diligent, and he is a famous talent in Yangzhou Tonghai."

"Yuan Rui's father is a twenty-three year jinshi in Shaoning, and he has been sentenced to a general sentence."

"Scholarly, yes, at a young age, it is indeed rare to have this knowledge."

Zhu Fuzi also praised it very rarely, it is not uncommon to read at this age, and there are not many people with such foresight.

"Teacher, look at his poem again," Zhang Qian hurriedly took out the poem as if offering a treasure, of course, it was also copied.

Zhu Fuzi was a little surprised, there are not many good poems in the academy, and they are generally based on the subject matter, and it is difficult to be brilliant.

But when he finished reading it, his heart moved, and he improvised poetry, there are not many people who are so anxious.

Look at this poem again, it is also a top-quality work, not only presenting the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou, but also showing the excitement of the scene very vividly, and the most rare is that there are some vicissitudes of life in it.

What a teenager wrote!?

After Yuan Rui saw off his sister, he didn't rush back, said hello to the second son, and took Xiaohe to the place where the last party was.

He had already agreed, and when Xiaohe was well, he would take her out for a good walk, think about it, and the lake environment and scenery were good.

The two of them walked slowly through the market in a carriage, and saw the bustle and hustle and bustle of Yangzhou, this is a fairly happy era, if there is no fighting, how good it is if there is no oppression.

But Yuan Rui knows that it is unrealistic, and there is still a long, long way to go if he wants to reach the society that will be a thousand years later.

When the two arrived at the place, they originally wanted to let the six sons who were with the car go back first and pick them up in the afternoon, but the six sons didn't do it.

The second son has already commanded, and now this time can't be careless.

After the accident, the second son was very cautious, even the one who drove the car was also a good hand, plus the sixth son, the second son believed that even if two or three people came, it should be no problem to block for a while, plus it was daytime, the bandits should not be so bold.

The sixth son asked the coachman to find a place to park the carriage and feed the horses. I slowly followed the two of them a little farther away.

Xiaohe followed Yuan Rui, looking at the scenery, while listening to Yuan Rui tell some historical allusions.

"You see, this lake, one by one, is like a floating belt, and on these belts, people have built a lot of buildings, pavilions, and small bridges that are all here, forming a garden scenery that all have here. It also forms a perfect contrast with the lake and the surrounding green mountains, which is comparable to the West Lake. ”

Yuan Rui used his own explanatory language, "Here in Yangzhou, it has been a prosperous place since the Qin and Han dynasties, and the merchants here do business all over the whole of Daxia, especially the salt merchants in Yangzhou, who are the richest in the Tang and Song dynasties, so some people call this place also Slender West Lake." ”

The two walked while talking, Yuan Rui was thinking about how to explain this lake to Xiaohe, so he told what he knew.

Who knows, when they were talking, there happened to be a group of people playing on the side, and they happened to hear Yuan Rui's statement.

"Slender West Lake, this lake is called Slender West Lake, is there such a saying?"

Yuan Rui turned his head to see that a little girl was looking up at him curiously.

"This, little girl, look, is the scenery of this lake as beautiful as West Lake!" Yuan Rui looked at the little girl and said in his heart, Xiaohe doesn't matter, this can't be too foolish, it's not good to spread the trouble.

As he explained further, a group of people who followed the little girl also walked over. Seeing that the little girl was talking to Yuan Rui, a slightly older girl hurriedly walked two steps to catch up.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disturb Xianggong, Yunsu, you can't run around."

"It's okay, it's okay, we're also hanging out, the girl is polite," Yuan Rui still understood a little girl's curiosity.

"Sister, this Xianggong just said that this lake is called Slender West Lake, and you just said that you don't have a name, and you don't know how to pretend to understand!" The little girl was not polite at all, and directly debunked it.

"Ah, Slender West Lake, what Slender West Lake," a loud voice came out again at this moment.

Miss Meng looked at the purple clothes beside her helplessly, what happened to this girl, it seems that she is hopeless.

Yuan Rui was also startled by Ziyi's shouting, and when he fixed his eyes, he froze again.

The beautiful woman who had been looking for so long and had no news was standing a few steps in front of her.

Looking at the little scholar staring at his young lady blankly, Ziyi exclaimed again.

"Miss, Miss, isn't he that nerd, what a thin West Lake, I think it's nonsense."

Miss Meng can't wait to plug the stinky mouth in purple, how can she call someone else's nerd to her face, her image is completely gone.

She pinched the purple clothes with her hand hatefully and glared. Ziyi was pinched, looking at the young lady's slightly angry look, she also knew that she was in trouble again, so she didn't dare to make a sound, and rubbed the pinched place aggrievedly.

The older girl, looking at the little scholar's stunned eyes, and seeing Miss Meng's shy look, heard the surprise of Ziyi, and seemed to understand a little, it was inconvenient to say more at this time, so she gave a simple salute and led the little girl away.

Yuan Rui didn't pay attention to the little girl's puzzled look at all, and watched Miss Meng and the others gradually walk away, before he let out a long sigh, still not angry, but he didn't have the courage to catch up.

"Young master, is that the girl?" Xiaohe saw that he was tired, and this should be the person he had been looking for in the previous item.

"Xiaohe, young master will tell you a story," Yuan Rui pulled Xiaohe to the nearby stone bench.

......

Turning her head to look at Yuan Rui and the two, the slightly older girl asked, "Does my sister recognize the scholar just now?" ”

"I don't recognize it, I really don't recognize it, Ziyi is talking nonsense," Miss Meng hurriedly clarified the misunderstanding just now.

Today is also a coincidence, Miss Meng is auscultating at her uncle's place, and there is a young lady seeking medical treatment in the capital, and she also happens to know, the two young ladies of Chen Guogong's family, Zhou Yunlan and Zhou Yunsu.

They also came here, the grandmother in the family was stubbornly ill, and they often heard Miss Meng talk about the Lin family's superb medical skills, and this time they wanted to ask for a prescription.

After explaining the situation clearly to her uncle, Miss Meng accompanied the two of them here to see the scenery, mainly because she was not familiar with other places, just like Yuan Rui, she just wanted to talk, this quiet place.

"Look at the two of them just now, the woman next to the scholar is not like a maid, but not like a husband and wife, looking at the scholar's look, she should be interested in her sister, and her sister can seize this opportunity."

Zhou Yunlan thought for a while, and the analysis was very clear.

Yuan Rui has never treated Xiaohe as a maid, and he has never restrained her according to the rules of a maid.

There is no shortage of money at home, not to mention Xiaohe, even the clothes worn by Uncle Wang's family are normal, not the kind of clothes worn by domestic servants at all.

Therefore, since he was a child, Xiaohe didn't think he was a maid, and he didn't have those submissive inferiority complexes, so he couldn't see it at all.

"Where, Sister Lan, you are talking nonsense, it's all nothing, I don't know it, I don't even know the name?"

Miss Meng was in a hurry, her face turned red, and she denied it again and again.

"Yo, it seems really interesting, I'm anxious to get to know people, and I want to know the name."

When Zhou Yunlan heard Miss Meng say this, she directly grasped the key and didn't forget to laugh.

"Hmph, ignore you, when I see the brother of the Xu family one day, I must ask clearly."

Miss Meng is also a smart person, knowing that if she continues to talk about it, the more she will describe it, the darker it will become, and she quickly changed the topic.

"Sister. Don't worry, I'm telling the truth, it's rare for us to be fated to do so! Miss Zhou couldn't help but sigh.

"Sister, why do you say that, is Brother Xu ......" Miss Meng's eyes widened.

"Nonsense, your brother of the Xu family is fine, I said another thing," Zhou Yunlan scolded with a smile.

Several people laughed and returned to the carriage.
