Heroes of the Sons and Daughters

Chapter 104 The road full of spring breeze, exploring flowers and the first bottle of fine wine to reward the teacher (2)
I only heard Ms. He sitting on it and said: "Father Zhang, you are a person who understands the most when you are old. What I said just now is not for the sake of short payment of the hundred and ten slings. You know, the account will not be settled right now. Waiting for this money is not because I am young and happy, and I don’t care about my family’s grievances; even seeing my grandma breastfeeding me from a child to my age, I should be more lenient with him. But how about my mother and father? It's not too important to go to the master and wife, and it's not too important to go to the overall situation of the family." Then he asked the young master and Miss Zhang and said, "My master and my sister are thinking for nothing, is that what I said?" It was so difficult for these two Listening to him relax a little bit, who would dare to say "no"?They both replied in unison: "That's true. But Father Zhang said it just now, I just have to pity him for being confused."

Saying that, Ms. He turned her head back, looked at Zhang Jinbao and said, "Father Zhang, since you said that for him, I only look at your old face, look at you, or look at the master and wife who treat you with great kindness." Boss, I have the right to spare him this board today. You don’t need to rush him, maybe even ten days or eight days, but he will pay me by the end of the year.” Then, he took it from the table again. He picked up a list, handed it to Zhang Jinbao, and said, "Look, this is a list of rewards that we have discussed and drawn up for all of you. I plan to ask the master and wife to read it and give it to you. He is the same. I don't think he doesn't love this." It looks good, what can I do? He has no choice but to withdraw the reward. As for the Zhuangtou, he will not be lenient. When you go down, follow the regulations I set."

Zhang Jinbao quickly agreed: "Hey!" Then he looked at Dai Qin and said, "Why don't you thank the Lord and the two grandmas for their kindness?" Then Dai Qin quickly took off his hat, bumped heads, and then went out with Zhang Jinbao.The two nuns joined together and their daughter-in-law came in to kowtow again. Miss He quickly grabbed them both, and comforted Nanny Dai: "Don't complain about me, I can't help it." I am so in awe that I dare to complain.

At present, his two sisters are clear, and then they come to the house with the young master.

But Mr. An saw that sisters Jin and Yu had already organized the house to a great extent, but his fame was only halfway through, so he rested for two days, thinking that he would have an exam next year, so he had to work hard.It happened that one day, Mr. an came to the study by chance, and saw that he was drawing up some topics there, and wanted to ask him to read it, so he started to write the composition according to the lesson.Mr. An looked at it and said: "The questions are well planned, but it is just a matter of taking the general examination, which is one step harder than the rural examination. After passing the rural examination, it will be regarded as a ostentation. Next year, it will be even better. Otherwise, it will be difficult." There is a subject to wait for; after the general examination, the imperial examination will be followed immediately. There is a world of difference. Therefore, for those who are determined to be in the first class, since they have won the examination, although it is unpredictable whether they will be selected or not, they must have a heart that they must be selected, and do some of the personnel matters of the middle and late. What will happen to this personnel matter? What is the best way? Only countermeasures and writing palace examination papers are two layers of effort, and you have to start right now. I mean, there are nine lessons a month, as long as you write articles for six lessons; I will give the remaining three lessons according to the class. When you come up with a strategy question, follow the questions. It’s too late to perfuse the strategy question, plagiarize the strategy material, or even use some empty sentences to fill the blame. You must seriously say a few historical classics, so that you can go in the future Ting is right. Although your handwriting is not ugly, the radicals of the dots and paintings are not exquisite. From now on, the composition will be copied from the court examination paper, and the countermeasures will be copied from the imperial examination paper. I will review and correct it for you. I was hit by a move, turned around such a bitter mouth, asked for complete reproach, and also thought that if you study for a while, you will not be able to enter the secret hall of the Qing Dynasty. If you use a subordinate Zhongshu, you will be "lost by a tiny bit, but by a thousand miles". No, go and be a county magistrate, I'm your lesson, you don't have to know."

Lie Gong, just look at Mr. An, who is afraid that being the county magistrate will be counted as the leader, and Wei Gu's son will also be counted as the leader.But he also had to have the skills and knowledge of Wei Gu's son.If my storyteller really has a son who can test, what should I tell him?
Gossip less.But he said that Mr. An followed his father's teaching, and still worked hard behind closed doors, preparing for the next year's test.This book is long if it has something to say, and short if it has nothing to say. With a twist of my fingers, the next year is already approaching.Mr. An was thinking about which directors would go in this time, and he didn't want to get a letter. This time, the chief executive had too many acquaintances.It turned out that at that time Wu Kezhai had been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War to co-organize the university tenth and Minister of Internal Affairs, Xueshi Mo had also been promoted to minister, and Minister Wu had been promoted to chief constitution.It is Mr. An's two gentlemen, a world brother.Don't need joints, just look at his strokes and strokes, and the paper will be bright.What's more, he is still a real artist from the school!Is there any reason for this time?
Let's see how Mr. An enters and exits the arena when it's time to play. I won't bother to repeat it.When it was out of the list, the high ones were within the eighteenth rank.It goes without saying that Mr. An's family is full of joy and excitement.Immediately afterwards, after passing the imperial examination, he went to the palace examination.The questions in the palace examination are Confucian classics, history, water affairs, and arresting politics. Mr. An, after the training of Mr. An in the past few months, the palace examination papers can really be written in the history of latitude and longitude, and can be written like a tiger crouching. Jump.The imperial minister who graded the papers set him among the top ten books.There are Wu, Wu, and Mo in the city who are the three people who are most concerned about them. Are you still worried that Mr. An won't be trusted?I got a secret letter earlier that day, and I was secretly relieved, saying: "As long as it is in the top ten books, no matter how many, the second one is guaranteed, and editing is expected."

But when it comes to the first day of being promoted to the palace, the ministers who read the papers go to the top ten books first, and wait for the royal pen to appoint the first, second, and third champions, second place, Tanhua, No. 1 biography of the second class, and the last six. A and B.After going up, the group of new Jinshi were all waiting outside the left door at the back of the Palace of Preservation, ready to be appointed, and those who occupied the top ten were ready to be introduced immediately.At this moment, except for those who have mediocre writing in the palace examination and have no hope of being ranked first in the imperial examination, they do not have delusions, but people with lofty ideals, everyone is there with their heads up and looking forward to the letter, thinking about the top ten, and even more about the top ten three. name.Among them, only Mr. An not only knew that Banner's personality was well-established, but he had never been ranked top ten, and even he had already been trusted in the top ten.I thought to myself: "Even if it is taken at No.10, it is still in Erjia. This time when I go home, I am going to comfort my parents. I have handed in two papers on the three difficult topics of "Lin Jiu" and "Being a Wife." So he just listened to the letter there, but he felt more at ease than everyone else.Nothing to do, just leaning against the back left door and looking at the big yard to watch the excitement.

I saw that the steps of the palace gate were as high as a person, the left door of the main entrance was closed, and only the door of the west room was open, surrounded by rows of leopard tails and guarded by sparrow feathers, only a loud voice could not be heard. of.Looking at the courtyard again, the officials who are going to lead the introduction are all waiting for orders under the steps of Qianqing's gate.There are also fellow villagers, the same year, and close relatives of this group of new Jinshi, who have nothing to do today, and they all use their official business to inquire about it.There is also a group of good people, although they have nothing to do with him, they still want to know who the Dingjia of this subject is.

There are also those servants who want to eavesdrop on the news, and prepare to be an obvious errand in front of the adults.As soon as he entered the big courtyard, like a thousand Buddha heads, a crowd of people crowded and stood in the courtyard, all raising their heads and looking at the Qianqing gate.A group of guards standing on the door kept yelling "Jianghan". Those who "accumulate sweat" are also "voices" in Qingyu.I am afraid that there will be too many voices.Although the sage was far away in the deep palace, he couldn't hear him for a while, but if the ministers before the imperial court met him, there would be a thunder like a universal god, and the guards couldn't hold it back.

Everyone was looking forward to it, only to see a Huangmen official coming out of the gate and announcing the rankings of No. 1 Scholar, No. [-], Tanhua and Chuanlu.There are many people and the place is open, and some of them listen to the truth, some don't listen to it, and some stand farther and squeeze behind. Many people are short and short, long and neck-lengthening. They haven't figured out who the champion is for half a day. .They also inquired each other about the legend of Huizi, and found out that the number one scholar in the first class was surnamed Xi, from Jiangsu, and his name was Xi Zhenzhong; Anji, a soldier;The relatives and friends of the number one scholar, the second place in the list, and Chuanlu were all happy when they heard it, and they didn't need to say anything; but suddenly they heard that the undergraduate Tanhua had ordered a bannerman, everyone was surprised, and they all said: "This is really an unprecedented event in this dynasty. No.[-]!" They all wondered.

Then I know that the soldiers and people of the Qing Dynasty feared the law, the officials knew the law, the ministers enforced the law, and the holy son of heaven followed the law.It turned out that that day when he entered the first ten palace examination papers, the sage saw that the third book, although the writing was excellent, was just prose but lacking in meaning, and the font was charming but lacking in spirit.When I saw No.8 An Ji's book, it was not only black and smooth, but also the Confucian classics and historiography of the policy text were true to the source, and the water administration and arrest administration were both true to the pros and cons.Tianyan was overjoyed, so he moved forward from No. 8, set No. 3, and changed the original No. 3 to No. 8, so Mr. An took up a top three Tanhualang.

However, the group of new Jinshi at the rear left gate saw a flutter of hairpin tassels at the palace gate, and knew that the papers had come down.The closer the time is, the tighter I look at it in my heart.Immediately afterwards, the group of officials with introductions flew over.Suddenly I saw a fat man separated from the crowd, holding a big belly in both hands, running with his legs dripping with sweat, his mouth was wide open, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he called out: "Dragon matchmaker! Dragon matchmaker!" I don't know who the dragon media is.When he saw Mr. An, he ran up to him, said "Congratulations", then helped Mr. An's shoulders, he couldn't breathe, but he couldn't speak anymore.

Unexpectedly, Mr. An was taken aback by him. After a closer look, he recognized He Maizhou.This He Maizhou was the one that Mr. An and Guan Zijin came to help with when he went to Huai'an that day.Seeing him like this, Mr. An only asked, "What's the matter?" Then he panted and stretched out three fingers, and said, "Congratulations, Longmei! You ordered one, one, and three flower hunters!" Mr. An just didn't believe it.At this moment, I heard his name from the officials who introduced him one by one, and it turned out that the first and third names were An Ji.At this time, Mr. An was full of surprises, and he had already joined the nine people and followed them to Qianqingmen to arrange shifts.

Everyone looked around, and saw that the number one scholar in Tsinghua University was magnificent, and the second place was dignified and serene; when it came to the Tanhua, what was said about Pan An's appearance and Zijian's talent, but there was no hakama in his imposing manner, and he was not sticky in his gentleness and elegance. A little shabby.It's really Yiding Guizhang, a man of the Xi Dynasty; even the Chuanlu was born with big ears and a thick beard, like a talented person.Everyone admired it.Who would have thought that this group of thatched grass had recently come to this strictly forbidden place, and each one of them just wanted to wait for Yunfei, but they all had no expression on their faces.A group of ten people lined up there, only muttering words, lowering their heads and silently rehearsing their resumes.Not a moment later, I saw the Huangmen official standing on the high steps, said "introduction", and filed in to take them up.After the introduction, the ranking will not change, and wait for the next day to be promoted to the palace.

But when Mr. An returned to the house, thinking of the unexpected grace, he ignored everything and only wanted to fly back to see his parents, but he didn't know how happy the two old people should be.It's nothing like tomorrow is the grand ceremony of passing on people, and then there are many things such as introduction to the senior class, dinner to thank you, Dengying and Shibei. After you are appointed, you will enter the Hanlin Academy.I can't help myself, I have no choice, so I have to send someone back to the garden to bow on my behalf, to congratulate my parents, and then I will know the reason for changing the first and third names.

This time the book explained here, and it used the storytelling cliché of "it's hard to tell two different languages ​​with one mouth", and when I came back, I wanted to talk about what Mr. An was waiting for at home.

However, when Mr. An arrived at the day when the son was introduced, he knew that his son was already in the top ten, so he could rest assured.It is like wishing for a child to become famous several times more than his own fame. For a while, I thought that my husband's Manchu dialect was ordinary, and I was afraid that he would not be able to memorize his resume when I went up;I got up before dawn, sat there reading two lines of books, and put them down; walked around the room for a while, wrote a few words, and put them down; went to the yard to look around.When the sun has risen in the east, this heart can't be restrained.I hurriedly washed my hands, put on my big hat, and went to the room where I was lecturing, and took down the yarrow of "Book of Changes" from the bookshelf, wiped the table clean, and put it in place. Back to yarrow, ask Mr. Bubu what is the number one.After sifting, but divination the Jin hexagram on fire, when I saw the three sentences of "Kanghou Yong", "Xima Fanshu", and "Day and Sun Three Connections", I was a little hesitant, and thought to myself: "The four great sages in these two volumes of "Book of Changes" It is true that there are endless changes, but I am somewhat confident in my "Yi" study. How come I can't explain this hexagram in detail today? According to the hexagram of the Jin hexagram, fire is on the ground, so it is naturally a A sign of civilization, doesn't the character 'Kang' fit the meaning of the character 'An', and the character 'Ma' is on the left side of the character 'Ji', which is clearly the name of Yuge. Needless to say, the word 'three times a day' It's a gesture of gratitude, but in my heart I guess it's his ranking. Could it be that he will be ranked third? Then there is a bannerman who will point out the theory of Tanhua! It's not such a solution." After studying it for a long time, he said: " Ah, it’s not good! Could it be that he has changed to the top three?” As he spoke, he shook his head and said, “It’s not true, no one in the top ten has ever changed to the top ten. Besides, I’ve seen the background of his strategy. What's wrong with it, how sharp are the seniors who read the papers, how can he be listed in the top ten books?" The more I thought about it, the more puzzled I became, so I packed it up, went back to the upper room, and wrote this paragraph. Tell your wife and uncle and wife.

The uncle and wife said, "My lord, you don't have to hesitate all the time." Pointing to the two sisters, Jin and Yu, she said, "The three of us, the three of us, were talking gossip. I said, 'Your family Even though everyone suffered a setback outside, when they came home, it became smoother every day." The two sisters mentioned Zhang's mother's words last year, and said with a smile: "Now we have to fight for the top prize. , to be the inspector of the Eight Houses." I said: "You two don't have to laugh, look at your master and wife's deliberate actions, and if you encounter your family's family luck, I am afraid that our little uncle will follow the words of the drum. Yes, you can actually order a tripod armor and release the patrol, but you can't decide." Look, you answered my words, didn't you?" Master An was serious at the moment, and said with a smile: "How does this fit that innate " "Book of Changes" can tell one point!"

Just as I was talking, I saw Jin Sheng rushing in and said: "Go back to the master, there is a master who wants to pay a visit to the master." The master blamed him and said, "Who wants to call on me? It's just such a bald 'Master', I know who he is? Why did you suddenly become so confused when you spoke?" The promotion said: "This master has never been here before, so I don't know him. I was sitting on the bench at the gate just now, and saw this master riding a horse. The one from far away came galloping. When he got off his horse at the door, he asked the servant, "Is this Anzhai?" The servant replied, "Yes." Seeing that he was wearing a gold cap, the servant asked, "Master Who are you looking for?' He said, "Quickly ask your old master to come out, I have something to say." The servant asked, "What's the name of the master? What do you want to see the master? Explain the family so that you can go back up." He said, "Don't worry about it. Just go back." Then he tied the horse to the tree and ran straight into the gate. The servant had to let him sit in the west study. He also said: "Please come out quickly, old master, I have to drive into the city Let's go.'" Hearing this, Mr. An was also surprised, and before he could change his clothes, he hurriedly went out to meet the master.Mrs. An, Mrs. Uncle and Mrs. Zhang heard it for a while, but they couldn't figure out the door. They were worried, so they hurriedly called a boy to go out with the master to inquire.
