Chapter Seventy-Nine: Gift-giving
As a traverser who has taken countless exams and invigilated countless exams, Chen Tang is no stranger to the examination room and is quite accustomed to the environmental atmosphere.
Although the format and mode of the examination are very different, the essence of the core is the same.
The three-day exam time passed in a flash, and the waves were uneventful. Chen Tang's performance is very steady, and every time he writes an article, he does not seek to write a lot of flowers in the face of the topic, nor does he throw out shocking new ideas at once.
But be steady!
There are almost no standard answers to the scriptures, different mathematics, physics and chemistry, and the so-called "the benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise", there are many possibilities for interpretation. Even some interpretations can be self-contradictory.
In this case, whether or not to pass the examination, in addition to the basic skills must be solid, it must also conform to the current national conditions and current political trends, and the taste of the internal curtain official, that is, the marking official, also has a certain relationship.
Therefore, trying to rely on the developed civilized thinking of modern people to put it on top of an ancient country and system is not only unsuitable, but may also be counterproductive. In response to the old saying, half a step ahead is a genius, and a step forward is a madman.
All in all, the general direction is right, and you are at ease.
After the test, all candidates began to line up to leave the venue. All of them are like wilted leeks, and some of them are physically exhausted, and they even have to be helped out by others.
In the ranks, Chen Tang, who was still in good spirits and had a straight waist, attracted people's attention.
"Brother Bujin, you have done well in the exam, and your body is healthy!"
Su Ling, who was waiting outside, greeted him and said with a smile on his face.
Chen Tang smiled: "What delicious food did you buy today?"
"An old hen, I started stewing in the morning, and I bought two catties of beef and a big fish......
Su Ling counted his fingers and said.
Hearing that there was beef, Chen Tang's eyes couldn't help but light up. Of the various types of meat, beef is more expensive and difficult to obtain.
"Let's go home and eat, I've been hungry for two or three days. ”
was about to leave with Su Ling, when Tao Hao's voice came from behind: "Don't be careful." ”
Chen Tang looked back and saw his depressed look, and knew that he didn't do well in the exam.
Tao Hao sighed: "I don't have two questions that I can't remember, this year, I'm afraid it's worse again...... No, how did you do on the exam?"
Chen Tang replied: "It's basically done...... Brother Ming Jing, the result has not yet come out, so there is no need to be presumptuous and depressed. ”
It takes more than half a month to review the examination papers, and then the rankings will be formulated, and the results will be announced in a month.
Tao Hao smiled wryly: "It's not the first time I've taken the test...... Forget it, don't say bad things, and go home to rest. ”
He was also tired enough, but seeing Chen Tang's radiant appearance, how could he look like he had just finished the exam for three days?
Could it be that this is the advantage of being young?
Chen Tang bowed his hand to him and took Su Ling home.
Behind him, there was a sudden howl, and some candidates lost their temper, and as soon as they came outside, they couldn't help crying.
The cry was poignant, choked and sad.
Chen Tang couldn't bear to look back, and sighed secretly in his heart.
After returning home, Su Ling finished the last two dishes, set a large table, and the two of them started eating.
After eating, Su Ling had already boiled a large bucket of water.
Chen Tang took a shower happily and stayed in the examination hall, but there was no way to take a bath, fortunately, the weather was cold, he didn't sweat much, and it wasn't dirty.
After changing his clothes, he sat back in the room, touched the grievances on his wrists, and saw that the imprint was still there, without any sign of dissipation, and thought to himself: "I just finished the exam, I definitely don't know the results, and it is estimated that I will not really fulfill the teacher's long-cherished wish until the official list is released and I am on the list." ”
Ignore it anymore, lie down on the bed, pillow the heavenly sword box, and slowly fall asleep.
The next day, there were guests visiting, Wang Fu in the morning, and Zhao Sanye in the afternoon.
Since the list was not released, I don't know what the result was, they came, just to say hello.
Facing Zhao Sanye, Chen Tang asked about Zhan Yangchun.
Zhao Sanye spread his hands and said: "Since he left Panzhou and returned to Fushanguan, there has been no news, I don't know if he is on the mountain, or he has traveled to other states." ”
Zhan Yangchun was originally a Taoist priest who traveled all over the world, but he just happened to settle in Panzhou a while ago.
Chen Tang thought about this Taoist priest, mainly wanting to know more about the things in the cultivation circle, and the floating life Taoist in that subview was even higher, but at first glance, he was an old fox, and he couldn't ask anything at all.
Zhao Sanye was also thinking about Zhan Yangchun, but he was thinking about the painted skin and wanted to buy it.
Chen Tang asked again: "Third Master, how is the current situation?
In this world, there are no newspapers and no Internet, and information is jammed and lagging, so it is not easy to understand the current situation.
Zhao Sanye said: "It's a lot more stable, and the dart hasn't encountered anything, so it's finally relieved." ”
Speaking of this, he lowered his voice: "A few days ago, someone from the Nine Gates should have come to our Panzhou Mansion and did a lot of investigations, but I don't know what conclusion I got in the end." ”
Nine doors is equivalent to another circle, even if Zhao Sanye has a wide range of contacts and eats black and white, it can be limited to the Panzhou level, and at a higher level, he can't be contacted at all, and he can't inquire about it.
Regarding the matter of Hujiazhuang, Chen Tang is also in the fog and does not know what is going on. He guessed that the one hiding in Fushan to watch and listen to his reading was probably Miss Hu, but he wasn't sure whether it was Hu Buregret or Hu Buxi, or both......
However, if you think about it carefully, the biggest possibility is that Hu does not regret it and has a quiet temperament; if Hu does not like it, how can he hide in the house and listen to his own reading?
Chen Tang has a variety of conjectures about these two young ladies of the Hu family with mysterious origins, but it is difficult to draw conclusions before the truth is revealed. As for the perception of good or bad, since the separation of the Hu family, including Master Hu, along the way, they can basically treat each other with courtesy, and the purpose should be to have a demand for Chen Tang's literary temperament - it may also be the spirit of heaven and man.
There is a need, but not bullying and looting, is the way of etiquette.
Hu Buxi's behavior is quite unpleasant, and he can't accept it. The prank is too much and appears rude and rude.
If Chen Tang is still her teacher now, she will definitely be punished severely, and she will be slapped with a big slap.
As for where to fight, of course, you have to pick the place with a lot of meat.
However, now, the Hu family has dispersed, and the Miss Hu family has also run away, so I can only speculate in my heart.
Not long after Zhao Sanye left, another guest came, but he was a man in Tsing Yi who he didn't know, with a strong body, strong and powerful, and he knew at a glance that he was a practitioner, and his practice was not bad.
"You are?"
Chen Tang was puzzled.
The man's attitude was respectful: "In Xia Hu Lao Wu, I was ordered to come and thank Chen Gongzi as a gift." ”
"Hu Lao Wu?"
Hearing this face-painted name, Chen Tang guessed what was going on.
Hu Lao Wu offered a flat box with both hands, and then said goodbye and left.
This box, about a foot long, is carved with exquisite patterns, and it is actually a precious green jade box.
So what will be the gift inside?
