Chapter Ninety-Four: Road News
(Thank you for the 200 reward of book friend Yang ~ Bin and the book friend Bobo boxing and my sister for saying that I am handsome!)
"Well, why do we have so many talents in Wei County all of a sudden, is it possible that our Wei County has done well in this hospital test?" Walking on the road, Zhang Xuan was surprised for a while, and looked at the green-shirted scholars on the street who were three or four times more than before and asked the two.
Then he vetoed: "No, I remember that Brother Zichu and I were on the list in this college examination in Wei County! Even if you count hyperplasia and epigenesis, there shouldn't be so many!"
"Hehe! Wenbo has rarely come out recently, you may not know anything, these people are at least born and even promoted!" Hearing Zhang Xuan's question, Sun Wang and the others were not surprised at all, as if they had known it for a long time.
"Oh! Although the little brother doesn't know much about the situation in Wei County, there shouldn't be so many famous scholars!" Hearing Wang Fatzi's words, Zhang Xuan was even more puzzled, and at the same time, he also secretly had a guess in his heart, but there were still some reasons that he hadn't thought through.
"Hehe, don't worry, let's go to the restaurant first, and talk while eating!" At this time, Wang Fatzi hung Zhang Xuan's appetite and refused to speak, and his grandson Chu also smiled and said nothing.
"Brother Wang, Brother Sun, wait for dinner, and the younger brother will send these two baskets of mooncakes to your house first!" Zhang Xuan said with the flower basket in his hand.
"Eh, we're here, why bother so much, these two baskets of mooncakes will be stored in the store first, and we'll just take them back when we go back!" Wang Fatzi couldn't help but pull Zhang Xuan into a restaurant.
Zhang Xuan thought about it and felt reasonable, so he stopped being hypocritical and followed in.
After entering, Zhang Xuan first handed over the flower basket to Xiao Er for safekeeping, and then the three of them asked for a window position on the second floor to sit down and start ordering.
This restaurant is called gluttony (tao, four sounds) Xianglou, it is a national chain restaurant with the same name as Sihailou, if Sihailou is the overlord of seafood, then Taoxianglou is the king of the inland, birds and beasts, freshwater fish and turtles, all-encompassing, and the dishes are diverse and delicious, and there is a town building signboard "one product full seat", which has been appreciated by many princes and even emperors of previous dynasties!
Emperor Tiande, who was quite talented and delicious in the current dynasty, once said: "I wish for a solar eclipse, but I am afraid that the will will be late!"
It means that he wants to move it to the palace and eat it every day as a royal dish, but he hesitates because of the fear of public opinion. It can be seen how popular the whole table of this gluttonous restaurant is!
However, this time, Zhang Xuan and the three of them did not order this signature one-dish full meal, but stir-fried foie gras, roasted duck tongue in sauce, hot and sour chicken offal, sweet and sour tenderloin, five dishes of steamed sea bass and a soft-shelled turtle soup.
"It's not that my brother is stingy, but this kind of whole banquet can only be made by the main building of the gluttonous Xianglou in the capital to make the most authentic taste! Here, there is not even three points of heat, and it does not stain your tongue, but this stir-fried foie gras and sauce-roasted duck tongue is good, and it is worth tasting. Wang Fatzi first explained, "In the future, when you are admitted to the Jinshi, my brother will be the east, and I will invite you to eat an authentic one-product full banquet in the capital!"
"Eh! Brother Wang is serious, who doesn't know, Brother Wang is a famous gourmand in my Wei County!" Sun Zichu waved his hand to show understanding.
"Hehe, I don't have any other hobbies, and this is one of them!" said the fat man, Wang Fatzi trembled, and the waves came from top to bottom, very neat.
Taking advantage of the serving, Zhang Xuan and the three of them first asked for a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts and drank it.
"Brothers, there is a question below, why is it that the closer the Mid-Autumn Festival gets, the more talented scholars in Wei County have become, don't they have to go home to reunite with their relatives?
Hearing this, Wang Fatzi smiled and squinted, pointed his finger at the table, and said, "Wenbo, someone will answer your question soon, but it will also save me a lot of tongue, come, let's eat and listen!"
The food was served quickly, and by this time there were already foie gras and duck tongue on the table. Zhang Xuan tasted it, it is worthy of the recommendation of Wang Fatzi, a gourmet, although the foie gras is stir-fried, it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it also maintains the tenderness and deliciousness of the foie gras, and the duck tongue is also rotten but chewy!
So he had a great appetite, and while drinking with the two of them, he listened intently to the answers at the next table.
"As soon as I heard that this brother is not often in Wei County!" someone replied.
"Hehe, this is my cousin Wu Tao, the word water, is the twelfth year of Tiande Yongzhou Yijia Xiucai, study tour here, on this festival, my father invited him to my house to celebrate the festival together, for Wei County is really not familiar. This time, everyone invited each other, and the younger brother took it upon himself to bring his cousin over, and asked everyone not to be surprised!" A young man in a white Confucian robe stood up and introduced.
"No surprise, no surprise, it's an honor for us to know Brother Water. Yongzhou, the land of Longxing, has always been an outstanding person. Brother Shui's young age is not a weak crown, but he has already been admitted to the first-class talent three years ago, and he really has a bright future! After three years of study tour, if he wants to come to next year's autumn, he will definitely be on the list! By the way, the younger brother Xu Zhongming of Wei County, first salute Brother Shui's cup!" The person who took the speech at the beginning hurriedly got up and said.
Everyone loves to listen to good words, this Wu Shuizhiyuan is still a little arrogant, and after hearing this, he also got up and gave a toast. The newcomers came, and the others also got up to introduce, and it was lively for a while.
When people get together, they always inevitably praise each other first, and everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high!
Taking advantage of this gap, Zhang Xuan also secretly looked at the people at the table.
Judging by the fact that half of his clothes are Xiucai, and the others are also young scholars wearing silk, it seems that the children of large families are having a dinner.
The first person who asked him at the beginning was a scholar in his twenties, named Wu Tao, whose name is Shuizhi. It can be regarded as a jade tree in the wind, but there is always a sense of arrogance on the face, but the means are extraordinary, and after some greetings, it has faintly become the center of this table.
Looking at his anger, it turned out to be the green and yellow from the fourth grade of the natal life, which is the highest natal Zhang Xuan has ever seen, of course, Bao'er is an exception, it should be from a family. No wonder there is always arrogance, people do have this qualification!
Then there is the person who answered at the beginning, called Xu Zhongming, a native of Wei County, about thirty years old, looking average, is a seven-grade life, should be from a small family, but he is very good at observing words and feelings, and patting people's ass, no, Wu Shuizhi has begun to be a little fluttering by what he said.
Perhaps, this is why he can join the circle of this obviously big family!
For this kind of person, Zhang Xuan can't talk about liking or disgusting, everyone has their own way of doing things.
The white-robed young man before was about sixteen or seventeen years old, as old as Zhang Xuan, and his name was Qin Yu. also has the pale yellow natal of the sixth grade, although it is still white at this time, but the lower academy should be stable!
As for the others, at least they are also positive seventh, and the highest is even more positive five! On average, it is much higher than their own three positive sixths.
"By the way, you haven't answered the next question for me!" After some greetings, Wu Shuizhi brought up the old matter again.
"Oh! Yes, yes, look at my memory, I was so happy after getting acquainted with Brother Wu that I forgot to explain my doubts to Brother Wu! The younger brother punished himself with three cups!" Xu Zhongming patted his head and drank three cups in a row. It's almost a round older than others, but he calls himself a little brother.
"Brother Wu, do you know the four major academies of my Dayong Dynasty?" After drinking, Xu Zhongming asked Wu Shuidao. But he deliberately gave up the limelight.
Not wanting to pat the horse's leg on the horse's leg, Wu Shuizhi glanced at him and said indifferently: "The four major academies?
At the same time, he said unhappily: "These four colleges are known to those illiterate untouchables, and they actually asked me?"
"The names of the four academies are naturally known to everyone, but we also know some of the fur, how can Brother Wu understand it thoroughly, and it is secret, please Brother Wu don't hide it, and tell it to give us a long insight!"
When the others heard this, they also quieted down and looked at Wu Shuizhi, waiting for his answer. Although Qin Yu did not introduce Wu Shuizhi's family background just now, as a disciple of a big family, he has already cultivated a pair of skills to see people, and naturally he can see that Wu Shuizhi is extraordinary, and when he thinks of his surname Wu, from Yongzhou, there is only that family, which is no worse than the Wei Mansion in Wei County! Of course, they also want to hear the secrets of this big family!
This Wu Shuizhi has talent, that is, he is a little competitive and loves to be showy! I saw that he first swept a circle of people with expectant eyes, drank a sip of wine and moistened his throat, and then reluctantly said: "Okay, if you finally get acquainted, I'll tell you about it!"
"Brother Wu is really generous!" Hearing this, Xu Zhongming slapped him again.
Wu Shuizhi was very useful, and said with a smug smile: "The four major academies were originally built in the Yang Guang period of Taizong of the Sui Dynasty, and have been more than 1,300 years old, namely the Bailu Academy in Jingzhou, the Yuelu Academy in Yuzhou, the Chongyang Academy in Jizhou, and the Mingyang Academy in Yangzhou!"
"Each academy is divided into two classes, one is the lifting class, the other is the talent training class, each class is divided into four levels, A, B, C, D, each class only recruits 30 people, a total of 120 people!
"For thousands of years, in all dynasties, basically sixty percent of the officials are from the four major academies, and it can be said that as long as you enter the four academies, it is equivalent to stepping into the officialdom with one foot. Compared with it, what county school, government school, and state school are not worth mentioning, even if it is the national prison, it must be half a step shorter!" Speaking of this, Wu Shuizhi was also a little emotional.
"Lifting people under the age of forty, Xiucai under the age of thirty, according to this standard, their life is the worst, and they have to be the seventh grade! As long as they are not too unlucky or they don't work hard, they can boil up a jinshi!" Zhang Xuan thought to himself.
As for the Zhengke background, it refers to those who are endowed with fame, not epigenesis and hyperplasia, which are also bought with money.
"The Four Academies, that's the holy land of our scholars!"
"Yes, yes, as long as you become a student of the four major academies, it will be a fish leaping into the dragon gate, and you will immediately have the blessing of many senior brothers, and it will be smooth sailing in the officialdom in the future!"
Speaking of the four major academies, the readers at the table suddenly became a little excited, and they talked about it for a while, and after a while, they quieted down, turned their eyes back to Wu Shuizhi, and listened to him continue to speak.
Wu Shuizhi enjoyed this feeling of being in the limelight very much, and after everyone digested it, he took a sip of wine and continued: "The four major academies are different from official schools, not all of them can be studied for life, but they are held every three years, and when the time comes, either they have already passed the imperial examination, or they will graduate! And if you want to enter these four academies, there are only two ways, one is to get the recommendation of the contemporary Confucian, and the other is to pass the academy's entrance examination every three years or the entrance examination held after the autumn season! The two are almost half and half!"
"However, if you want to pass the exam to enter the academy, it can be said that it is as difficult as the sky, and there are hundreds of thousands of talents in the country, but there are only less than four hundred places, and the odds are not greater than those of the exam!"
Speaking of this, Wu Shuizhi paused and said with a smile: "This is what everyone knows, next, I will tell you what you don't know!"
Hearing this, all the people at the table stopped what they were doing and waited intently for Wu Shuizhi to speak.
Zhang Xuan and the three of them also stopped the dishes and chopsticks, pricked up their ears and listened intently.
