At the Luming Banquet, Tang Yin came out to propose a toast.
Although he was glorious, Tang Yin did not show much happiness during the process. Instead, he seemed to be very sorry. Wang Hao saw this. After the Luming Banquet, Wang Hao specially treated Tang Yin. Leave.
"I've met the host."
Tang Yin came to salute Wang Guo, but Liu Ji was not there. At this time, Liu Ji had already gone back to prepare for his return to the capital.
Wang Hao said, "Bohu, you are outstanding in academics. In this Jiangnan Provincial Examination, you ranked first in Asia. Why are you so depressed during today's banquet?"
Tang Yin heard a question in Wang Hao's tone. He explained, "Students are not dissatisfied, but because during this provincial examination, students feel that their literary thoughts are flowing like a spring, and their articles can be completed with just a swipe of the pen, as if the torrential river water is overflowing in their chests, and they even boast to others that this time Jie Yuan She Who am I, but things went against my wishes."
Wang Hao smiled and said, "You feel that you are unwilling to lose to a single official in the imperial examination."
Tang Yin shook his head and said. The student has never seen this Jie Yuan’s article, and no one has mentioned it in front of the student before. I don’t know how talented he is. The student is not jealous, but he feels like he has lost something, and the loss in his heart is indescribable.”
"Yes."
Wang Hao smiled and nodded. He still admired Tang Yin very much.
Historically, although Tang Yin was defeated in the imperial examination because of a wrong question, the two of them had a close relationship and traveled together. Tang Yin also wrote poems and paintings for him and visited him many times. Wang Hao also encouraged Tang Yin who suffered a failure in the examination room.
Wang Hao can also be regarded as a noble person in Tang Yin's life.
Wang Hao said, "It's good that you are motivated. I might as well tell you clearly that among the many candidates taking the exam, your article is outstanding, especially the smoothness of your classic meanings and allusions. People are amazed. When I was young, I couldn't write to your level."
Tang Yin had already resigned himself to his fate.
But after hearing Wang Hao's words, he couldn't help but feel doubtful.
If you think my article is good, then why am I a Yayuan and Zhang Zhou is a Jieyuan?
“The smoothness of classics and meanings can be said to be a supreme talent, but only Those who have the country in mind, understand the sufferings of the people, and work hard are the ones who can govern the country. You are not as good as you." Wang Hao admired Tang Yin, and Zhang Zhou's solution to the Yuan Dynasty was originally based on his stubborn opinion, so he I feel it is necessary to explain to Tang Yin.
But to Tang Yin's ears
it was like being slapped in the face.
You are talented but not capable of running a country, so you are Ya Yuan and Zhang Zhou is Jieyuan.
Isn’t this a curse?
But Wang Hao reminded him to encourage him, not to discourage him. Tang Yin was sensible after all, and he also understood that Wang Hao had good intentions. Otherwise, there would be no need for Wang Hao to mention him alone after the Luming Banquet.
"Bohu, in the coming spring, I hope you can be ranked first in high school. A scholar from Jiangnan, you can also be considered a regular scholar."Die. But you must also remember that being talented is important, but the court selects talents who want to benefit the world. On this point, I'm afraid you still need to learn more from Jieyuan. ”
Wang Hao said it from the bottom of his heart.
Tang Yin almost wanted to ask, you only read a few articles of that person, why do you think I am inferior to him
It is true that selecting people based on their articles is the foundation of the imperial examination, but you can understand his character just by reading the articles
"Before next spring, when you come to Beijing, I am willing to introduce you to the scholars of the capital. I'll come visit when I have free time, but learning is equally important. I'll leave for the north tomorrow. I hope to meet you in the capital as soon as possible."
Wang Hao's smile was full of praise for Tang Yin.
Tang Yin hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "After students arrive in Beijing, they must come to listen to the teachings. . ”
When Tang Yin came out of the Gongyuan, it was raining. Since he didn’t bring an umbrella, he had to brave the rain to get to the carriage.
After taking the carriage to the teahouse where he had an appointment with his friends, Tang Yin felt Almost all wet, Zhu Yunming came out of the teahouse. When he saw Tang Yin, he first handed over his hand and invited him to the teahouse. Doctor Cha served him tea.
"We have discussed when Bohu is going to leave for the north. I plan to do it." Walk with you. "
Zhu Yunming was the candidate for the exam in the fifth year of Hongzhi. He has failed the examination twice. This time his good friend Tang Yin passed the exam, so naturally he will be called together.
Tang Yindao "There is no rush to go north for now. Let's have a drink and talk on the Qinhuai River tomorrow. ”
Zhu Yunming couldn’t help but frown.
Tang Yin’s becoming the queen of Asia is actually a setback. Originally, Zhu Yunming thought that Tang Yin would be restrained in his personality, but he didn’t expect that Tang Yin would be more similar. It is because of this setback that the bohemian character has become even more serious.
“Bohu, you are always so attached to the pleasures, which is of no use to your studies. As a student of the Jiangnan Provincial Examination, After being named on the gold list next year, it's not too late to worry about drinking and sex. "
Zhu Yunming has good intentions and can be considered sincere.
"Young Master Heng told me that Yayuan is just a tribute student, or a regular tribute. What kind of talent can it have? It's nothing more than some biased writing. , flattering articles, and gained temporary fame, but he still wants to suppress me. When I have the opportunity, I must let him know the shortcomings of talent and learning, clean up the filth in the Jiangnan scientific field, and bring justice."
"If you don't want to drink with me tomorrow, you don't have to come. Let's go."
Looking at Tang Yin's back, Zhu Yunming couldn't help but sigh, and took out a booklet from his arms. Some of the articles written by Zhang Zhou received from the provincial examination examiner were regarded as imperial examination model essays.
He had read them himself and had some insights. He was ready to discuss them with Tang Yin, but he was met with disappointment.
"I thought you would be able to restrain yourself after suffering some setbacks. With your character, something will happen sooner or later."
In the Duke Cheng's Mansion, Zhu Feng felt like a hot pot since he got up early in the morning.
Zhu Daqi came several times to urge, "Second Master, the retinue and horses are all ready, and the Madam has sent someone."I’m here to urge you to start your journey earlier, and you can’t delay it any longer. ”
Zhu Feng always drove Zhu Daqi out angrily.
Waiting with Zhu Feng was his woman, his wife Ning Tong.
Ning Tong is the granddaughter of Ning Shan, the former commander of the Jianyang Guards. Ning Tong's father is Ning Zhen, who once served as the magistrate of Danyang County.
Although the Ning family was born as a martial artist, military households in the Ming Dynasty had to take the imperial examination. In terms of power, Ning Tong's father entered the Imperial Academy as a student to study for Gongsheng, and was selected for officialdom.
In the Ming Dynasty, it was not only those who were promoted to the top who were qualified to become officials. You can choose an official position.
The prerequisite is that you have money and connections.
Ning Tong looked at her husband's eagerness and looked at it with a leisurely look that had nothing to do with her. He was holding a teacup in his hand and was not drinking any tea. He was turning it around with great interest.
Zhu Feng said, "Tong'er, if you don't want to share the business affairs for me, I won't force you. I won't force you." Just leave it to Mr. Zhang. "
Ning Tong glared at Zhu Feng and said, "If you want to hand over your business to outsiders, do you think the people in the palace will listen to him?"
Zhu Feng said with a smile, "So Tong'er You still support me, right? I know it. After all, I have made money, and you have a share, so who will follow the other?"
"Huh"
Obviously Ning Tong does not Don’t believe Zhu Feng’s lies.
The two of them know best whether the relationship between the couple is good.
“Second Young Master, Zhang Jieyuan has finally arrived and is asking for an audience outside the house. This is a greeting card. "After noon, Zhu Daqi came in again and brought good news to Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng said in surprise, "What kind of invitation can you use to just invite people in and leave? You and I will Let’s go together to meet him, Tong’er. You should go too. "
Ning Tong looked arrogant and proud, "It's not convenient for a woman to go out to meet guests, so I'll wait here."
Zhu Feng smiled and walked out. While saying, “Hurry, bring the wine and food. "Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
