Chapter 174 The Eve of the Provincial Exam
Ye Xingyuan smiled indifferently and said, "Brother Qin doesn't know the distinction between gentlemen and villains? You have to go home and work harder. Scholars spend their days studying the scriptures not just for fame, but for learning the principles of being a human being. The distinction between gentlemen and villains is our bottom line, and we must be careful.
The key point is still in the words of the saints. The so-called gentleman is a superior and a villain gives a man. A gentleman does not have no desires, but does not seek for himself. A villain has seeks, but only seeks for private purposes. If you do not understand this principle in your study, you will naturally not know the difference between gentlemen and villains."
Since the other party deliberately came to make trouble, Ye Xingyuan was not polite at all, so he treated him as a child. If you, Qin Lin, understand the difference between gentlemen and villains, you should know that gentlemen and villains pursue different pursuits. I look upward so that I will not be concerned about such people who do not understand the truth.
Qin Lin was originally sarcastic, but Ye Xingyuan refuted it, but instead made a big blush. He heard the sneering sounds coming from around him, and shouted desperately: "Since Mr. Ye knows the difference between gentlemen and villains, he should know the way of gentlemen, take them and be straightforward. Isn't it a joke to seek a false reputation?"
This is like facing the criticism that I was the first in the imperial examination cheating. Ye Xingyuan also heard this rumors and smiled indifferently: "The clear one is clear, the turbid one is turbid, the world is nothing, and the mediocre one is disturbed by it. A gentleman is open and honest, and a villain is always close. How can Brother Qin use the heart of a villain to judge a gentleman's abdomen?"
Since you want to tell me a gentleman, I will tell you a gentleman. I have never admitted that I am an internal Jieyuan. It is all because you believe in rumors and randomly speculate. Can this mentality be considered a gentleman? Ye Xingyuan was disdainful in his heart.
Qin Lin was so angry that his face turned red and said with a stubborn mouth: "The clever words are so kind! Ye Xingyuan, no matter how much you bloom in your tongue, you can't erase your ignorance. You rely on your nepotism to get to power. We scholars are ashamed to join us!"
Ye Xingyuan's face turned cold, "You have no basis. If you believe in rumors, speak nonsense and be innocent, who is a scholar? I have been studying hard every day for ten years and have also been a fame and fortune. Are you not as good as you for the exam? My friends from the provincial school are very happy to talk to me, but they are not as good as you? What do you say?
It is important to know that a gentleman is ashamed of his words and acts, and is slow to speak but quick to act. Such behavior is to lose the face of a scholar, and not wake up from enlightenment, when will he wait?"
I was too lazy to care about this kind of boy. At the end of the day, Ye Xingyuan had quietly used the sound of Qingxin. When it came to Qin Lin's ears, he felt deafening and a buzzing sound in his head. He couldn't speak for a while, and stood there as if he was stunned. He wanted to speak, but he was speechless and didn't say a word.
The method of clearing the heart and holy sound cannot be used on scholars, but Ye Xingyuan has a deep spiritual power and is also blessed by the sword spirit. In the past, he could directly brainwash people like Lu Wei, so that he could devote himself to studying. Long Sun was almost beaten by him. What is it to deal with a mere Qin Lin?
Ye Xingyuan did not use his full strength. He only used his spiritual power a little, which left Qin Lin speechless. If he showed no mercy, then the kid would have to cry and regret it on the spot.
But in this way, Ye Xingyuan's ability to clear the heart and sacred voice was revealed, and it was easy for those who were interested to see the mistakes, which was contrary to his style of conducting his trump card. Therefore, under Ye Xingyuan's deliberate restraint, the effect was just right.
In the eyes of others, Qin Lin was naturally scolded by Ye Xingyuan and had nothing to say. This was originally something that everyone speculated in private and could not be taken to the table. Qin Lin seemed a little naughty. Seeing that he was speechless, everyone rushed up to persuade him, and someone took the hunched Qin Lin away.
Ye Xingyuan was calm and composed, as if nothing had happened before, and he was still smiling. Everyone admired his demeanor and demeanor even more. Thinking of the unlucky Qin Lin, he did not dare anyone to come to stroke his tiger's beard. This time the gathering continued smoothly.
After Qin Lin left, about a stick of incense, he suddenly felt the silt in his chest and brain suddenly opened before he could speak. Looking back at the scene, he was so angry that he could smoke from his or her orifices, and he wanted to turn around and scold Ye Xingyuan immediately. But at this time, he had already walked to the west of the city, and there was no face to return. He only regretted that he was itchy and didn't mention it.
For Ye Xingyuan, this was just a small episode and he didn't take it seriously at all. There were a few more gatherings of this type before the provincial examination, but Ye Xingyuan had almost figured out the general attitude of the scholars participating in the provincial examination, so he had no intention of mixing up.
Judging from the current situation, the effect of the rumors of the inner fixed Jieyuan is that everyone is indeed jealous of Ye Xingyuan. However, based on the character of seeking profit and avoiding harm, except for a few ignorant young people, the scholars tacitly accepted this result, and most of them even mean to show their kindness to Ye Xingyuan.
It is true that the gun shot out the first bird, but Ye Xingyuan has the endorsement of the three adults, Futai, Fantai and Nietai, and has the record of forcing Wang Xuezheng to withdraw from the list and repent. Before he could not figure out what his background was, who would be willing to go against him?
"It's a pity that I am only three major officials behind me. If I hold a nine-thousand-year-old film like "successfully promoted to three levels". I probably don't even have to do articles, so Jie Yuan should get it. It's no pressure to turn around and get a Jinshi Three-Dao Armor." Ye Xingyuan was sarcastic, and it was indeed as dark as the world. Even in this world with supernatural powers, there were many unspoken rules that were still the same as in this world.
Tang Shiyan said a lot: "Where is the nine thousand years old in my dynasty? What is his film? Can you get it if you find a way to ask for a photo for your foolish brother, I don't ask for a Jinshi. Being a Jinshi is enough to comfort your life. Just speak up if you want it!"
Now Tang Shiyan has married into a wealthy family and is rich and powerful. As expected, he speaks boldly.
Ye Xingyuan laughed. In the past, he felt that Xuanyuan World's magical powers were self-sufficient and a saint came to the world. Even if the bottom was still a little dark, as his status improved, the waters rose and the ships were higher, and the officialdom should not have as many disadvantages as he used to be.
Unexpectedly, the longer the time is, the more advanced the people you come into contact with, and Ye Xingyuan has a strange sense of familiarity. So what if you have supernatural powers, so what if you protect a saint? People’s hearts are not enough. Officials are overwhelming and bullying the people to make money and make money and make excuses. These phenomena are also quite common.
It’s just that because of his supernatural powers and literary past, the world looks harmonious. In fact, undercurrents are surging below. How can you know how many dirty things are there? Selling official positions and cheating in the imperial examinations cannot be completely avoided. It’s just that Ye Xingyuan has no way, otherwise Tang Shiyan would not have no chance to buy a Jinshi with Mu Baiwan’s financial resources.
In the future, we must be more determined and take the lead as soon as possible. Jie Yuan Ye Xing of this provincial examination will surely win. Anyway, he has all been given this false reputation, so it would be a waste not to work hard for it?
The rumors in the city and Ye Xingyuan's performance were soon reported to the three eagerly-looking adults in the province. If these rumors were not for their support, they would never have reached this point.
"From this point, Ye Xingyuan is really ambition. It seems that he wants to be the position of Jie Yuan." Nietai smiled with his beard twisting, and his hard face was rarely expressed.
Master Diao smiled and said, "Since you have something to ask for, it's easy to deal with. Wang Xuezheng won't let him stand out easily. This time, as long as the adults find a way to help him, he will repay him."
Nietai shook his head slightly and said, "Don't be too careless. I am not the only one who wants to help him, and those two must be eyeing him."
Master Diao laughed, "Although that's the case, the two adults of Futai and Fantai should avoid suspicion about this provincial examination ceremony. It's better for you to take care of the order of the examination room. As the saying goes, you will get the moon first when you get close to the water. This time it's also God's blessing."
What Ye Xingyuan wants is nothing more than fame and fame. A position of Jieyuan is still attractive enough to him. Now Ye Xingyuan is in charge of auspicious events, and it is the time when all three adults have to ask for him. But this is the only benefit he can give.
This time the rumors broke out, the three adults were tacitly observing them secretly. Now they probably guessed Ye Xingyuan's intentions. During the trial, I was afraid that they would take measures to see who could help Ye Xingyuan.
It's ridiculous to think about it. A mere scholar actually asked them three of the chief officials or officials of the frontier to hold them so hard. It was obvious that the troubles could be avoided by just explaining to the academic and government, but they had to act privately to highlight their own methods, and it was a joke that would be passed down through the ages.
Ye Xingyuan also had some speculations about the mentality of the three adults, but he himself had enough confidence and did not need additional help. As long as he stopped making trouble for the county examination and someone was framed in the government examination, he would be thankful.
Time passed by, and in a blink of an eye it was August, and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers was in full swing. The test of the imperial examination was held as scheduled. Ye Xingyuan and Tang Shiyan made an appointment to go together early in the morning. Tang Shiyan is now rich and has a broad face. He called many people to rush to the gate of the Gongyuan. He saw that the scholars lined up in a long queue, waiting for routine searches.
Ye Xingyuan was about to go to the last line, but saw two people in the front row seeing them and were surprised to leave the queue to salute Tang Shiyan, "Senior Tang, are you here? We have already occupied a place for both of you, please!"
These people came to queue up early in the morning, with only a few people in front of them. Tang Shiyan was overjoyed and clapped his hands and rewarded gold and silver. The two poor scholars thanked each other and handed the silver to their wife and daughter waiting on the side, and went to the end of the team obediently.
Ye Xingyuan was ridiculous and terrified. It turns out that money could make the ghost push the mill, and scholars could not stop the magic of money. Tang Shiyan must have made arrangements early, so he could not wait in line and wait, so he would not have to enter the Longmen early, so as not to have too many dreams. He was not pretentious, so he followed Tang Shiyan to occupy the position of the two poor scholars.
