Chapter 2 Tang Yin's Chess Game
I know my own affairs. If it were my predecessor, I might be able to get a title on the list, but now I...
Zeng Yi's lips smiled bitterly: "I'm going to study classics these days, and I'm afraid to waste time when going out, otherwise I'd really leave the capital in shame."
"I'm a little talented and knowledgeable. If I have any questions in the classics, I'm afraid I'll ask Brother Bochou for advice."
Zeng Yi bowed to Lun Wenxu with a modest expression on his face, and his eyes were filled with sincerity: "I hope Brother Bochou will give me advice at that time."
What Zeng Yi can do now is to do his best to do his best and leave his will, and to regard it as accumulating experience for the next imperial examination.
Of course, the main reason for Zeng Yi's advice was that he wanted to take advantage of the scientific examination to find more opportunities to get closer to Lun Wenxu, a talented man.
If you can be lucky enough to become an official in the future, you will pay attention to the mutual care between officials. There are also sayings about fellow townsmen in the same year, otherwise you will become an isolated minister.
It is difficult to be a lonely minister. If the emperor favors him, it would be better. If he wants to be a lonely minister because of his simple nature, the outcome would definitely be very miserable. At least hesitate and it is difficult to make progress in a little step.
Moreover, even if he failed the exam, he had such a connection in the court.
Although the name of Sesame Flower Inn is strange, it is taken from Sesame Flower Inn to Long-term meaning. It is the inn closest to Gongyuan in Beijing. Now the room fee of this inn has increased to twice the usual amount, and it is more expensive. But even so, this inn is the first to live in Beijing to take the exam.
"Brother Bo Hu, among us, you are the ones who are more experienced in your studies. Of course, you should set the questions and test the school we wait."
In the room on the second floor of the inn, five eagles sat around a square table, and the table was filled with delicacies.
Although this inn is mainly engaged in inns, there are also some elegant single rooms for these scholars to discuss with each other, but the money required is even more.
Tang Yin, whose courtesy name is Bohu, is now nine out of twenty. He is very talented and is a famous talent, so there are countless people who come to visit every day.
Especially those scholars who thought that Tang Yin would definitely be able to be ranked in the first and third place this time, they were extremely flattering to Tang Yin.
Originally, Tang Yin was not willing to restrain himself in his behavior, but now, under the praise of these scholars who are also juren, he is even more unrestrained. He even has one foot on the table and leans on the chair, without any gentleness at all, and even some martial artists are a little inferior.
Tang Yin's handsome face was contemptuous, and there was an unconcealed sense of arrogance between his eyebrows and eyes. He held a wine glass in one hand and played with him, and tapped his knees with the other hand, and said in a slightly slight tone: "Since you can see Tang, then Tang will give you questions and test the school."
"Since you all came here for scientific research this time, Tang is not talented, but he has studied classics for a long time, and he still thinks he is a bit..."
Before Tang Yin could finish his words, he welcomed the cheers of the other people.
Xu Jing had a faint smile on his face. He and Tang Yin could be called a close friend, so he naturally didn't have to flatter Tang Yin or anything. He even had confidence in this scientific examination.
"Brother Bohu, please stop keeping it."
Xu Jing smiled and shook his head. Although he was a few years younger than Tang Yin, he was even more frivolous than Tang Yin. Even his arrogance and complacency could be heard in his words.
"I have studied classics hard over the years and have some speculations about the current scholar's strategy, although..."
Xu Jing's eyebrows were full of conceit, and the disdain at the corner of his mouth even showed his underestimation and determination to win the Spring Festival.
He even dared to say wildly about the questioning of the spring exam. How rampant is this?
"well."
"I heard that Brother Bohu and Brother Xu are so talented that we are beyond our reach. Now it seems that they are true."
Zhao Huai, a middle-aged scholar sitting next to Xu Jing, stroked his beard on his chin and smiled, but the words were full of flattery.
At his age, he has never been on the list. In fact, he himself does not have much confidence. Therefore, during the Spring Examination, he will work hard to get in touch with famous talents in the subject.
The reason for doing this is actually very simple. If the other party can get the title of the list, they may still be able to ask the other party for a day in the future. At that time, they will have some help, right?
"If we can get the tips from Brother Bo Hu and Brother Xu today, we will probably be more sure of this spring exam."
As he spoke, Zhao Huai had already picked up the wine pot on the table, holding the handle of the pot in one hand and holding the bottom of the pot in the other hand. Although he was smiling, he stood up respectfully to fill the wine glasses of Xu Jing and Tang Yin.
Xu Jing drank a glass of wine, and with the intention of drinking, he looked a little more frivolous on his face and smiled at Tang Yin: "Although I am in this inn, I am also a guest who came to the door. Brother Bohu lives here and is considered half of the owner."
"If Xu spoke first, he would probably be a bit over the leader."
"This etiquette cannot be abandoned easily. Brother Bohu should give the exam first."
At this time, the wine glass in Tang Yin's hand was filled with wine by Zhao Huai, and he did not drink it, but held it in his hand to play with it.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yin showed a rather helpless expression on his face: "Since you all said that, Tang started to make questions."
"This is what Tang thought about for a long time before, and comes from the Analects of Confucius...Zi said..."
Tang Yin laughed and said a passage from the Analects of Confucius, narrowed his eyes. There was a question that was tested in the spring exam, which was excerpted from a sentence from the classic, and then asked the students to answer it.
There are many classics, and no one knows which paragraph or which sentence the imperial examination is extracted from. Moreover, not only that, they also have to answer according to their nature as the examiner.
So it seems simple, but it is actually very complicated.
Xu Jing squinted his already drunken eyes quietly, looked up at Tang Yin, then lowered his head, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
He has obtained the test questions for this imperial examination now, but this channel is very secret. Although his ancestors have no connections, he has done good deeds and is good at ease. So after paying a certain price, he got the test questions for this test.
After all, it has only been five days since the examination, so the test question has naturally been set.
However, Xu Jing was not afraid of leaking this test question, without any evidence, even if he took the school exam in advance, others would not be able to do anything to him.
Moreover, Xu Jing was arrogant and talented. Even if something really happened in the future, with the kindness of the current emperor, he would definitely take the exam again. However, he was arrogant and talented, so he was naturally not afraid to take the exam.
By that time, he would only become a talented man, and this was what Xu Jing wanted.
His friend Tang Yin is also the same, and he is not afraid of any problems in the future, so they are not afraid of whether the test questions are leaked or not.
This is actually a plan for both of them. After all, the top scorer is not someone who is talented, and it depends on the examiner's preferences.
