Chapter 147 booing
After all, many first-hand news about the imperial examination will be revealed inadvertently before the exam, such as who the examiner is, which style of writing he likes, or which direction the exam questions will be in this year, and what possible test points are.
Too specific may not be reliable, but there are always some rumors. If you want to seize those fleeting opportunities and find directions that are beneficial to your imperial examination, you must come here as soon as possible. Some scholars who are consciously capable but are not very sure always like to inquire about these things.
Most of the scholars who like to form cliques and get together on weekdays are familiar with each other. They accidentally caught a glimpse of Su Minghu's table, so they didn't find another place. They walked straight and asked the waiter to bring another table to share the table.
The few people exchanged greetings, but without seeing each other, they sat down politely.
After hearing that the few people happened to come to ask for someone to be a security today, they started talking about some topics.
But the topic now is probably just about exams.
"I heard that the chief examiner of this year's county examination is our county magistrate. I like good words. If you have any good sentences, you might as well write them in the time being. Maybe you can get a little favor..."
After one person said that, the other person interrupted, "I heard that the direction of the court this year is different from the usual ones. The savages riding beasts on the border recently began to have some changes. I believe that the officials of the court will also worry about this, and perhaps the test questions will move closer to this aspect..."
This is an aspect that everyone has never thought of. After this, it feels like they have been exposed to the truth and thanked them one after another. Even the middle-aged scholar also looked thoughtful, and probably felt that it makes some sense.
After chatting about these test questions for a while, everyone found that they had personal opinions, but there were not many conclusions after all. Everyone felt that their guesses were more reliable, so there was no reason why anyone was more convinced.
As a result, there was too much debate, so I simply changed the topic and transferred it to the candidates in this county examination.
As human nature is, many people will guess which one of the heads of the case this year will be.
"I guess it should be the Chen Sheng from Dongji Village. I had the honor to meet him a few days ago. I have a good literary talent and feel ashamed of myself..."
"I have seen Chen Sheng, and his literary talent is indeed good, but I know that someone is better than him. This year, there is a teenager named Hu who is just twelve years old in the academy. He has known that many teachers have praised him as a child prodigy. He can read and write at the age of three, and his poems written at the age of seven can make many people feel ashamed of themselves. The sutras and treatises written in the test last year made the master applaud."
"If we talk about the head of the case this year, it must be this prodigy..."
"If this is true, it's really possible!"
Everyone just talks about these things as topics. After all, the so-called position of the chief of the case is too far away from them. As long as they can be on the list, it is already a celebration. How dare they look forward to what ranking?
But at this moment, I don’t know who mentioned the first sentence, “I heard that Brother Su’s younger brother is also going to participate in the imperial examination this year? Could it be that he is also a rising star with amazing talent!”
The tone seemed marvelous, but it sounded so harsh.
Everyone heard the sound and looked at Su Minghu who didn't say much, with a little curious look in their eyes.
After all, not everyone is familiar with each other's family background. Although Su Minghu and the others often meet each other because they often hang out together, they don't know what kind of person the other party's younger brother is.
Su Minghu was stunned, and then his face turned red and he waved his hands repeatedly, "Things that are nothing, nothing is just a joke. Don't believe it..."
"Oh, don't be humble." The man cheered again, "Since you dare to take the imperial examination directly without even one day of study, isn't it a child prodigy? You're much better than the boy named Hu just now! We ordinary people dare not compare!"
The tone was sarcastic and sarcastic. Su Minghu's face turned red and white, but lowered his head but he was sarcastic and did not dare to speak.
After an uninformed person asked quietly, he learned that the second brother of the Su family was actually a cowherd and had never even entered the school gate. How could he talk about the imperial examination knowledge?
Isn’t this kind of rough people dare to enter the imperial examination room where only cultural people with status can enter the imperial examination room? Isn’t it that the identity of the scholar that everyone is proud of has been reduced in vain and becomes one with the cattle-herding boy?!
Such a ridiculous thing is something that has never been heard and seen. It is really a big deal!
The eyes of everyone looking at him gradually changed, and they became more accused and angry from the original curiosity, and their faces were not kind.
At this moment, the middle-aged scholar knocked on the table, with a little dissatisfaction on his face and said, "Su Minghu, why do you let your brother do it? Do you know what the county exam is? We literati who are well-read and well-read must be very cautious. This cattle-herding boy dares to go in for the exam without fear of making any jokes? At that time, what should not be written and what should not be said. If the county master finds out, you will be held accountable. You can't bear to take it away, but don't implicate me!"
He wanted to throw the money he got back to save trouble for the other party, but after weighing the points, he just warned him several times.
Su Minghu almost wanted to drill his head under the table as everyone mocked and made fun of him, and was even more ashamed and resentful to the incompetent brother.
It was all that brat that made him lose face in front of his friends!
At the end, at this moment, everyone seemed to be disturbed and everyone was not going to continue to finish the meal. One person suggested that it would be better to invite some friends and friends to go to the suburbs to hold a small poetry meeting. Everyone agreed and prepared to get up and go.
Su Minghu also hurriedly got up, planning to clean up and follow him together. Although there were no good words and sentences in this kind of small poem meeting in the past, it was also very helpful to chat with fellow scholars.
But who knew that someone next to him stopped him, patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother Su, since your family has a younger brother of a prodigy, why should you attend any poetry meeting? Why should you go back and give him some good advice? Maybe the case will fall into your house this year?"
Su Minghu's expression changed and he was about to argue, but then he heard someone laughing and said, "Yes, we will ask the head of Su Case to take care of him..."
"Ha ha!"
"It's so funny, this joke can be told to friends..."
Everyone laughed at each other and walked away together, leaving Su Minghu alone in place, looking at their backs, looking at their faces gradually becoming pale, as dull as lightning strikes...
