2 Destruction of the temple examination (2)

Pei Xuan held the article high, squeezed it out of the crowd with great difficulty, came to the little guy, and saluted him.
"Student Pei Xuan."
The little guy turned sideways: "Pei Gongzi, please come with me." ”
The other students stayed outside, watching Pei Xuan follow the little guy and enter the school's mansion from the side door, and their hearts were extremely envious.
Pei Xuan clutched his article, a little apprehensive in his heart.
Strictly speaking, he is not a student of Master Zhu.
The school palace where Zhu Fuzi taught was the place where the princes, kings, grandsons, and wealthy children studied, and he couldn't get in.
He has been studying in a school outside the city since he was a child, and since he passed the autumn examination last year, the old gentleman of the school has not let him come again.
The old gentleman said that he had never passed the autumn exam in his life, and now that he had passed the autumn exam, there was nothing to teach him.
Pei Xuan had no choice but to pack up the books, go home, and study hard by himself.
But it's like traveling late at night, he always doesn't know the essentials, and the articles he writes are always unsatisfactory.
He had already inquired about the news and knew that Zhu Xueguan was resting today, so he specially picked one of the articles he had written, re-copied it, and handed over the prayer post early in the morning.
If I wish the scholar to give him two or three words, he will definitely remember it.
Pei Xuan clenched the article in his hand and secretly made up his mind.
The little guy frowned, looked at him, and touched him: "Pei Gongzi, what are you doing in a daze?" ”
Pei Xuan subconsciously raised his head: "Huh? ”
The little servant reminded him: "This is our wishing master." ”
Pei Xuan raised his head like this, and looked at Zhu Qingchen who was standing on the stone steps.
Zhu Qingchen hurriedly went out, wearing only a coat, with long hair, a face like a crown of jade, and eyes like paint.
Unlike other scholars, he is so young.
The system invited the merit and said: "I'm afraid that you are not used to it, so I deliberately opened the permission to directly copy your original body data, how about it?" Not bad, right? ”
Zhu Qingchen pursed the corners of his lips and replied in his heart: "Twenty-year-old teacher, nineteen-year-old student, there is really you." ”
"I like to do tasks with young hosts." The system was a little embarrassed, "Why don't you add another three years?" That's the limit of what I can tolerate. But don't worry, because it's a beginner's dungeon, all the stats are full for you. ”
At this time, Pei Xuan came back to his senses and hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "Master." ”
Zhu Qingchen bowed his head slightly and stepped down the steps: "Come with me." ”
"Yes." Pei Xuan followed him respectfully.
Zhu Qingchen paused, turned around and instructed the little servant: "Send a few people to collect the articles of the students outside, I have to read them when I am free, so that they don't have to stay outside the door all the time." ”
"Yes." The little servant took the order and beckoned a few attendants to go out.
Zhu Qingchen looked at Pei Xuan: "Come." ”
"Yes."
Pei Xuan followed behind him, hesitated for a moment, and decided to confess to his master.
"Master's ......"
"Huh?"
"I'm not a student of the palace, if the master cares, I'll be ......"
"I know." Zhu Qingchen paused, "The school palace may not be superior, and the students are not high or low." ”
"Yes."
Zhu Qingchen glanced at him and went back to the room along the way he came.
Pei Xuan still obediently followed him.
The master knew that he was not a scholar of the palace, but he was willing to instruct him, so he had to prick up his ears, be smart, and write down everything the master said.
Zhu Qingchen brushed his hair, only to remember that he hadn't washed or changed his clothes.
He casually tested the water in the copper basin, it was clean, but it was a little cold.
He didn't bother to call someone to come in and change the water again, and was ready to use it.
Zhu Qingchen walked up to Pei Xuan, tugged at his sleeve, and dragged him back.
Pei Xuan was puzzled: "Master? ”
Zhu Qingchen dragged him outside and crossed the threshold: "I want to wash, you stand here and read your article to me." ”
Pei Xuan hesitated a little: "...... Be. ”
Zhu Qingchen closed the door, turned back, and rolled up his sleeves.
Pei Xuan stood outside the door, looked down at his article, and opened his mouth: "Master, I read it." ”
"Hmm." Zhu Qingchen answered, bent down, and picked up the water with both hands.
"The Heart of Heaven and Earth ......"
"Be louder, I can't hear you."
"Yes." Pei Xuan paused, "Husband......"
"No matter how loud you are, like me, people outside can't hear it, and your article won't be scared away."
"Yes."
The system took the decibel meter and tested: "The scientific instruments show that his voice is still very small compared to yours." ”
Zhu Qingchen put on his clothes and pulled his long hair together: "I don't have to let him be as loud as me, I want him to hold his head high and be a little bold about himself and his article." ”
"He used to be cautious, out of necessity, and I can understand that. But now that I'm here, teacher, I naturally want to make a big announcement. ”
At the same time, Pei Xuan, who was outside the door, also slowly entered the realm, and his voice became louder.
From childhood to adulthood, whether it was in the school or in the wine shop at home, he was cautious and cautious.
There are inevitably children of rich families in the school, and most of the wineries are drinkers, and they all look down on him.
He likes to read, but he can only avoid learning by himself, and he is used to reading silently in his heart, and he doesn't even dare to read out loud, for fear of being laughed at and said that he is not worthy.
He didn't even read the writings of the sages aloud, let alone his own.
But now, his ears are filled with his own voice, as if he has returned to the state of mind he had when he wrote this article.
The heart is surging, and it is very different.
“…… The reason why these four seas are one! ”
After Pei Xuan finished reading the last sentence, he raised his head, his eyes shining.
Zhu Qingchen was dressed neatly, just opened the door, and came out of it.
Pei Xuan met his gaze, changed back to his restrained appearance, lowered his eyes, and stepped aside to salute: "Master." ”
"Not bad." Zhu Qingchen took the article from his hand, walked outside, lifted his robe and sat down on the seat, and put his article on the table, "Sit." ”
"Yes." Pei Xuan sat on his knees on the side seat, his hands resting on his knees.
Zhu Qingchen asked, "Do you mind if I sketch on it?" ”
"Don't dare." Pei Xuan rolled up his sleeves and helped him grind the ink.
"Hmm." Zhu Qingchen dipped his pen in ink and sketched a stroke on his article, "Here, here, and here, talk in generalities; Here, and here, there is no limit. ”
Pei Xuan listened carefully and nodded from time to time.
He has good talents, and he is very diligent, and he can understand it at one point, I wish Qingchen to talk to him without spending any effort.
After a while, the little servant carried up the articles that had been collected outside the door, and filled three baskets.
Zhu Qingchen opened his round eyes: "So much? ”
The little girl replied: "When the students heard that the master wanted to read the article, they hurriedly sent the article over. ”
Zhu Qingchen's hand holding the pen trembled slightly.
Originally, he just didn't want Pei Xuan to look too special, and he didn't want to favor one over the other, so he let people put all the articles in, how could it be......
"Master, take your time, and I'll tell them that I'll come back in three days." The little maid suddenly remembered something, "By the way, the master hasn't had breakfast yet, so I'll go and bring the snacks." ”
The system explained in a whisper: "Host, I have filled your attributes and fame, so ...... Many, many, many people come to you to read the article......"
Zhu Qingchen held his slightly trembling right hand with his left hand, calm down!
He turned his head and looked at Pei Xuan with a smile: "There is still one page to finish, let's continue." ”
"Yes." Pei Xuan nodded.
After another quarter of an hour, Zhu Qingchen finished the entire article.
Pei Xuan stared at the article for two breaths, then suddenly got up and gave him a big salute: "Thank you Master for your guidance, Pei Xuan is empowered." ”
Zhu Qingchen helped him out: "Don't be polite, there is still some time before the spring exam next year, you go back to study quietly, if there is something wrong, just come to me." ”
"Yes." Pei Xuan slammed his forehead on the ground sincerely, "Master's kindness, Pei Xuan is unforgettable." ”
Pei Xuan hesitated for a moment and said softly, "It's just...... Master, I still have one more thing to understand. ”
"You say."
"Today, many students are waiting outside the door, why did the Master choose me alone?"
"This ......"
Zhu Qingchen paused, he couldn't say, "Because you are gloomy, you will jump off the city tower in the future, so I choose you", right?
Pei Xuan looked at him eagerly, Zhu Qingchen came back to his senses, and paused: "I passed by your wine shop in the past, and I saw you on the counter while helping and reading a book, you are a good and diligent boy, you should not be trapped here, you should go further." ”
Pei Xuan was moved to tears by his words.
After ten years of cold windows, it turned out that all his efforts were seen by others.
Zhu Qingchen patted him on the shoulder and admonished, "If the article is corrected, come to me." If you have something to do in the future, you can come to me. Approaching the spring exam, don't be blinded by inconsequential things. ”
Pei Xuan looked at him and nodded seriously: "Yes, thank you for mentioning it, I remember." ”
"Well, go ahead."
"Yes."
Pei Xuan got up and saluted him as he stepped back.
Zhu Qingchen looked at him with satisfaction.
The system sat on the desk: "Host, I don't think I need to add your age anymore, your expression really looks like an old master." ”
Zhu Qingchen restrained his smile and regained his puffed appearance: "Shut up, I haven't settled accounts with you yet, how can I finish reading so many articles?" ”
Pei Xuan took the article annotated by the master into his arms and wiped his tears.
The little guy sent him to the side door: "Pei Gongzi, go slowly...... Cry slowly. ”
As soon as Pei Xuan left the Xueguan Mansion, on the other side, His Royal Highness King Jing carried a longbow on his back, rode on a tall horse, surrounded by a group of friends, and came from the corner of the long street.
They were on their way to a safari.
King Jing glanced at it and asked casually, "Isn't that Pei Xuan?" How did he get out of Zhu Fuzi's school's mansion? ”
The friend next to him replied: "Back to the prince, today I wish the master a rest, the students come to visit, and the master personally ordered a student named 'Pei Xuan' to go in." Does the prince recognize him? ”
"Pei Xuan?" Others chewed on the name, "It's a familiar name." ”
"You don't remember?" King Jing said lightly, "There is a Pei's winery outside the city, and he often rests in the winery during safaris, and Pei Xuan is the son of the winery." ”
The person next to him suddenly realized: "It turned out to be him." ”
King Jing continued: "He has passed the autumn examination, and he is only waiting for the spring examination and the palace examination next year, what about you? I didn't even pass an autumn test. ”
Someone stiffened his neck and said stiffly: "It's enough for me to rely on the shadow seal of our ancestors, where do I want to join in the excitement of the imperial examination?" Besides, it's just a temporary failure in the imperial examination, and Pei Xuan may not be able to compare with us in terms of talent and courage. ”
"That's it!"
King Jing laughed: "But this king remembers that once you drank too much and casually talked about the government, he lowered his head and refuted two sentences, and you were all speechless. ”
The men replied, "...... Be. ”
"It's interesting." King Jing turned the wrench on his thumb and said in a low voice, "Master Zhu is also a discerning person, and this king has been staring at people for so long, and he has also taken a fancy to them." ”
He raised his voice: "Go hunting first, and still rest at Pei's Wine Shop at noon." ”
He loosened the reins, and the followers behind him were like clouds, and the procession galloped across the long street, raising up the smoke and dust of the street.
