The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 287
He glanced down at the student's name, and when he saw it, he felt a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

"Huh? It's him? No wonder, no wonder!" Mrs. Fang finally remembered, no wonder the name seemed familiar.

"Oh? Do you still know him? I don't think he is very old. Could it be that he is a disciple of some great Confucian?" Seeing that Mr. Fang knew this student, Fu Ming felt that Gu Chengyu might be a disciple of some great Confucian, but in recent years, He hadn't heard of any great Confucianism accepting disciples either!
"It's more than that! This kid has a bit of a reputation! Maybe His Majesty still remembers him!"

Fang Huai and Yin Kun, the eldest disciple of Liang Zhirui, the former chief assistant, are good friends who have known each other for many years. More than two years ago, Yin Kun sent someone to his teacher in Jingyuan Mansion, saying that the teacher wanted to accept a closed disciple.Yin Kun told him the name and age of that little junior, but he still had a little impression.

The reason why I have an impression is that Gu Chengyu was the student who wrote the policy theory three years ago. Those two policy theories also attracted the attention of the Holy Majesty. I also asked myself twice.

I heard from Yin Kun that his teacher cared about this little closed door disciple, and repeatedly asked the three of them in the letter to take care of the little one.It's just that no one was invited for the apprenticeship ceremony, probably because the young disciple was too young, so this can be regarded as a kind of protection for him, right?

"Oh? Seriously?" Fu Ming felt a little unbelievable. Could it be that this kid is from the capital?So why haven't you seen it before?If it was a child of any family, he should have an impression of it. Besides, the children of the family in the capital would not come to the inn.

He was a little curious about Gu Chengyu. Hearing what the previous students said, it was impossible for Gu Chengyu to be from Jiangnan.

"Do you still remember those two policy essays three years ago? This kid wrote them." Fang Huai knew that Fu Ming only devoted himself to teaching at Boshan Academy. Although he knew something about the current affairs in the capital, he was not in the officialdom. After all, he was still poor. some.

"Could it be this kid?" Fu Ming only knew that it was a candidate who passed the county examination, but he had never heard of his name.

Fang Huai smiled, who didn't envy Jiang Mingyuan's luck back then?Although Jiang Mingyuan is still the magistrate now, everyone knows that it is because of the experimental field, maybe he can even be promoted to two levels in the next assessment, after all, the experimental field is well implemented.These methods have been popularized, and even Jiangnan has begun to implement them.

He took a deep look at Gu Chengyu, this is a talented person, but whether he is suitable for officialdom is not certain, so he has to wait and see.

The conversation between the two did not affect the competition over there, yes, it was a competition.

Three talents are competing for No.1, what is that if it is not a competition?Gu Chengyu, on the other hand, seemed to have been forgotten long ago.

"Chengyu! Since you have written a poem, let's wait a little longer. Maybe you can get No.1 and live in a house!" Sun Xian was also infected by this atmosphere, and wanted to see Gu Chengyu and these so-called Jiangnan talents, who is better?He didn't know those talents in Jiangnan, and he had great confidence in Gu Chengyu.

"How do these talents from Jiangnan compare to Gu Chengyu?" Fu Ming looked at the three great talents surrounded by people, and asked Mr. Fang.

Fang Huai raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "Are you trying to gain fame, or do you have real talents and practical learning? Do you think you can test it out here? The rural test is the touchstone!"

"Hmph! You people are talking about the imperial examination. Those who are rejected by the imperial examination may have real talents. The imperial examination is not a measure of whether a person is real gold!"

Fu Ming was a little disgusted with these things. He was forced by his family to be a Jinshi, but he was not interested in being an official, he only liked to be a scholar.So he resolutely decided to teach at Boshan Academy, and finally became a great Confucianist, and was promoted to the head of the mountain smoothly.

Fang Huai shook his head and laughed, this old guy is really weird, did he think that in this world, there would be someone as indifferent to fame and fortune as him?Just take that kid!That's an ambitious man!
"Actually, haven't you ever thought about it? If you didn't get a Jinshi, then Boshan Academy would let you teach Yu? And you can be promoted to the head of the mountain? What if you were just an ordinary scholar?" If Fu Ming didn't pass the exam Jinshi, then he is nothing now.

Fu Ming surprised Fang Huai for a moment, didn't he think about it?Of course it's impossible, rather than being forced by his parents, it's better to say that he also wants to prove himself with the imperial examination, but he doesn't like officialdom!

In such a short time, there were more and more people in front of the inn.Gu Chengyu watched the actions of the three people over there, and saw Min Feng being the first to close the pen.

Shopkeeper Wan of the inn immediately brought his assistants to get the poems. During this period, Liu Haonan and Huang Junheng also finished their poems.

"Chengyu! They are much slower than you!" Ye Zhiqiu whispered beside Gu Chengyu.

It's just that I didn't expect such a sentence to poke a hornet's nest. It happened that the student standing in front of them was from Jiangnan. Is it okay to hear this?

"Hey! I said, why did I forget you just now? What? Do you think that if you write faster, you can write better than talented scholars? It's nonsense!"

"I said, didn't they just say that they knew the answers to these questions? Then they must have answered incorrectly, otherwise why didn't the two great Confucians say it?" Ye Zhiqiu successfully attracted their attention.

As soon as these words were said, the three talents looked at Gu Chengyu at the same time.Just now Liu Haonan didn't pay attention to Gu Chengyu, but now he rolled his eyes and had an idea.

The three of them competed, and it would be embarrassing for anyone who lost. Most importantly, he was not sure that he could beat them both.Then he will pull the candidate in, multiple stepping stones are also good!
Gu Chengyu was pushed to the front by these people, and could only salute helplessly. In fact, he didn't want to be too high-profile, but things always backfired.

"Junior brother, you are already a scholar at such a young age. I wonder where you are from?" Among them, Huang Junheng felt that he still had to ask clearly, but don't be a child of a family, it would be bad if he offended a nobleman.

Those local snakes entrenched in the place, even the fourth-rank officials in the capital, will give them some face.

"My surname is Gu, from Jingyuan Mansion."

As soon as Gu Chengyu finished speaking, Liu Haonan took over the conversation, "Junior Brother Gu, didn't you write a poem just now? Today we are definitely going to select No.1. Why don't you take it out and let everyone comment on it!"

Liu Haonan and the others were surrounded by the students just now, and they didn't see Gu Chengyu's poem being taken away by Fu Ming. He thought that Gu Chengyu didn't dare to fight against others, so he had already lost the poem!
"What virtue and ability does he have? How dare his poems be put together with those of the three great talents?" A student rolled his eyes. He had met the three great talents at the poetry conference, and their poems were indeed excellent.
