When they arrived in front of Fuxue Panchi, the carriage stopped. At this time, the gate of Fuxue was already filled with scholars wearing Lan shirts.
Not all of these scholars are students in the government schools.
Among them, there were many students who were not studying. They came to see the results in blue or green scholar robes.
When Xu He and the others approached, a student from Youfu spotted Xu He and said excitedly: "Liangsheng, Liangsheng, you have sixteen students!"
As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.
One of the old men in green robes sighed and said: "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the new ones replace the old ones! It's old!"
It is estimated that this old scholar is very famous in Yangzhou, and the people around him sneered: "Brother Fan, you are not the first wave of this person!"
The people around heard this and laughed.
The old scholar Fan didn't know why and asked: "What? If it weren't for my age and too many things to do, I would have been a junior student in this school twenty years ago."
Someone next to him saw that he really didn't know Xu He, so he kindly reminded him: "Brother Fan, this person's name is Xu He and Xu Liangsheng, he is our first [Little Sanyuan] since the founding of the country in Southern Zhili!"
When Fan Xiucai heard this, his mouth was half open and he couldn't close it. The goatee trembled on his chin for a long time, and then he said: "So he is that little Sanyuan?"
Seeing his appearance, the people next to him joked: "Brother Fan, are you still his former lover?"
Fan Xiucai's old face flushed, and he sighed: "My body is losing weight frequently, and my hair is thinning and my crown is skewed. Scraping books only cherishes the eyes, and reading too much is the passing of the years. It's good to be young, it's good to be young!"
When everyone saw him quoting Liu Yuxi's poem, it meant that he was old after all and was no longer as good as young people, and they all felt funny in their hearts.
The number one fault of scholars is... being tough-tongued.
Fortunately, this person also knows that you can't talk about what comes next, and it would be ridiculous to say it.
…
Seeing everyone around him greeting Xu He enthusiastically, Qi Jiguang was extremely envious as he followed Xu He.
Since he was a child, he had admired those scholars who could speak well, and he even felt that those scholars who could pass the scholar examination were all great people.
But after following Xu He, he realized just how glorious the title of [Little Sanyuan] that Xu He held was.
In fact, what he didn't know was that the reason why Xu He was so respected by the students in Yangzhou was not entirely due to his title of [Little Sanyuan].
The news about his entrance examination in the government school has been spread.
How Ouyang Jun questioned the Grand Master was witnessed by all the students present.
They also witnessed how aggressive Ouyang Jun was back then.
They have already broken up with each other, and they all thought that the outcome would be nothing more than death for you and me.
But it was Xu Liangsheng who repaid Ouyang Jun's Lan shirt with kindness for two ships of Shandong bluestone.
In the end, Ouyang Jun fell into shame and fell to the ground. When he met people, he would say that Xu He was really a humble gentleman. Otherwise, he would have passed the exam this year to gain the honor of being a student member after studying hard for so many years.
And everyone heard that after Ouyang Jun returned home, he not only asked for two boats of bluestone from his home as promised to Xu He, but even bought two more boats, saying that he wanted to build the South Gate High Bridge tall and beautiful, so as to make Xu He famous. .
This attitude of knowing his mistakes and being able to correct them suddenly raised Ouyang Jun's image. No, this matter has become a scholarly legend, and it is said that it has spread to Jinling.
Linsheng in the Wei Dynasty was different from the Ming Dynasty in later generations.
Only current students can participate in the selection of junior students, so there is a quota of twenty people, all based on performance. It can be said that the value of junior students is much higher than that of later Ming Dynasty students.
When Xu He squeezed in and looked at the small list of the annual exam, he saw that the first place in the annual exam was undoubtedly taken by Brother Dev. Although he only got sixteenth place, that was because the Lin students had to be demoted by one person in order to win. Find a replacement.
As an epiphyte who just entered school, he skipped the growth and entered the list of junior students. Moreover, he was not at the bottom of the list. Strictly speaking, he was more valuable than Xie Defu's first place.
However, he has a clear understanding of his own level, and the small annual test is nothing.
The real test has just begun. The competitor he is about to face has transformed from a member of the same family to the top student in the province.
In another time and space, how many great talents failed in the provincial examination?
Pu Songling, Liu Guangdi, Li Shizhen... If you name these names alone, which one is not a thunderous one? For example, Li Shizhen was selected as a scholar at the age of 14, one year earlier than Xu He, but after that he failed three times in nine years. Exhausted physically and mentally, he finally had to give up the imperial examination and concentrate on studying medicine.
Xu He was confident in his results, so he was not surprised when he saw the results.
But the rankings of the other two names on the list surprised Xu He.
The first is Gao Guoguang. According to Wang Liangchen's assessment, even if he cannot be classified as a junior student, he should at least be born as an attached student.
But...he is still ranked as an epiphyte.
The other person is Wu Decao.
I thought this guy was going to be unlucky this time, and he might not even be able to survive, and end up in Tsing Yi.
Unexpectedly, Lao Wu was still ranked fifth in the end. He had to be punished, but fortunately he kept his position as a fusheng, which also made it easier for Xu He to imprison him.
After reading the small list, Xu He turned to Wu Decao and Qi Jiguang and said, "You two will accompany me to Professor Gao's mansion, and I will talk to him about Brother Yaochen."
When Wu Decao heard this, he rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "So anxious? Why don't you wait any longer?"
Xu He said: "Then you should think about it carefully. After the New Year, I have to study to prepare for the provincial examination, but I don't have time to take care of you!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Decao hurriedly said: "It's better to run hard and loudly, run for a while!"
His behavior made Xu He and Qi Jiguang laugh.
When he asked for an audience and was invited into the public house, Gao Bi did not make him wait any longer this time. Instead, he stood up and faced him and said, "But are you canceling your leave?"
Xu He shook his head and said: "The teacher's matter has not been settled yet, and the students may not be able to come to school before the end of the year!"
Gao Bi nodded when he heard the words: "You are a sensible person, and you don't need me or other teachers to push you academically, but I still say the same thing, you have to strive for the provincial examination. The imperial examination is like fighting. It's best to do it all at once!"
Xu He quickly stood up and said: "I will follow the professor's teachings!"
Gao Bi motioned him to sit down and sighed: "I would also like to thank Liang Sheng for helping Quan Zi during the annual exam!"
Xu He quickly waved his hand and said: "Professor, it's serious. Brother Guoguang came up with that pair by himself!"
Gao Bi shook his head: "Wen Da has already told me. If you hadn't stretched out your palm to remind me, he wouldn't be as talented as him!"
Speaking of this, his dignity as a teacher made him not want to discuss this matter in depth, so he turned to ask Xu He: "Since you are not canceling your leave, what is your purpose?"
Xu He told him that he wanted to pay tribute to Wu Decao.
Gao Bi nodded: "I don't have a problem with this matter here, but the imperial court pays tribute every year, especially in the prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River. There are quotas for schools, and the south of the Yangtze River is rich, so there must be many people paying tribute. Even if I am Agreed, you have to take the road to the South Prison!"
Xu He didn't expect that the money in his hand would have to rely on so many connections, so he asked: "I wonder how many stones of grain are required to pay tribute now?"
Gao Bi rarely smiled and said: "Liangsheng, you are an old man. Now you don't pay for food, but for silver taels. Two hundred and fifty taels are born on the ground, and three hundred taels are proliferated. Epiphytes like Wu Decao, We need to pay three hundred and thirty taels of silver, which should be handed over to the imperial court. The Nanjian and the Nanjing Ministry of Rites have to send the silver, so it is estimated that six or seven hundred taels will not be enough!"
I go……
Xu Hexin said it was really shameful, how much money was required to pay tribute?
It's almost time to catch up with the first dividend from "Liao Zhai".
Forget it, thinking that I still have four famous works, just spend a thousand taels!
As for the connections... Xu He thought of his cheap and good brother, and asked Mao Bao to take care of him when the time came, so that he wouldn't have to worry about it!
"Brother Yuan Jing, I've spent a lot of money, don't let me down!" Xu He thought to himself.
"September has begun, brothers, let's get recommended tickets, monthly tickets, free gifts, and reminders!
Namaste please! "
