King Qi was dumbfounded, Wu Decao was dumbfounded, and Xu He was even more stunned!
Originally I just asked Lao Wu to show off in front of everyone, but unexpectedly he was called to the blackboard and praised in front of [the whole class]!
When Wu Decao walked into the Lian Yutang, everyone's gazes made him feel uncomfortable.
"Who are you? What's your last name? Where do you live?" Zhang Can looked Wu Decao up and down and asked.
When Wu Decao saw that the dignified King of Qi actually asked him a question, he was already sifting through the chaff nervously. After a long time, he stammered and replied: "Back, back to His Royal Highness, King Qi, student Wu Decao, from Nanzhi, from Yangzhou Prefecture of Nanzhi!" Now he is in prison in the South Prison!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall burst into laughter.
Even Shu King Zhang Huan was amused by this man: "Why did your parents give you this name?"
Wu Decai said in embarrassment: "The students' parents are illiterate...please..."
"Ha ha……"
Another burst of laughter came!
When everyone heard about the family status of the supervisor, they laughed even more unscrupulously.
Wu Decao stood in the hall with sweat on his face. He wiped it with his sleeve many times, but it still kept coming out.
King Qi saw that his family was not doing well and he was not on the stage, so his original intention to recruit him faded away, so he turned to Zhang Lan and said: "Scholar Zhang, since the supervisor Wu has arrived, let's ask the bachelor to comment. His article!"
Zhang Lan once again looked at Wu Decao in surprise, but thought to himself: "I really made a mistake. This article is sharp and concise, and it is written in one go. Two sentences in one sentence are equal to two sentences in this sentence, and the merits of Guan Zhong are fully explained. The writing is sophisticated. . I thought it was written by a calm and majestic person, but I didn’t expect it to be written by such a despicable person!"
Although he had an average impression of Wu Decao, he still commented: "The most important thing in composition is technique, and Yu Bagu is no exception. This article is simple and old-fashioned, with no trace of craftsmanship. Even a Jinshi who has just entered Hanyuan, Very few people write articles like this.”
"Wu Jiansheng, since you have such writing power, why can't you be elected and can only be imprisoned?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Tengxiao sighed: "Scholar Zhang, there are sages in the wild, and they have existed since ancient times. I'm afraid this friend of the supervisor is not very lucky!"
Zhang Lan shook his head and said to Wu Decao: "But you are obviously still very young, so there is no need to be in such a hurry to go to jail, but... based on your article, it doesn't matter if you go to jail, and the eight-part essay that you can write in the test will be fine!"
After everyone heard this, they immediately cast envious and jealous glances at Wu Decao.
Zhang Lan is a bachelor's degree lecturer at the Hanlin Academy. It can be said that he is already a high-quality literary talent recognized by the country.
Moreover, bachelor's degree lecturers are often selected to participate in the examination proctoring.
With his evaluation, it can be said that the level of this supervisor is a bit scary.
Hearing this, Qi Wang Zhang Can was slightly tempted.
If we could get this person, wouldn't it be possible to win another Jinshi?
However, he looked up at Wu Decao and saw that although he was praised by Zhang Lan in person, he still looked embarrassed, and he suddenly felt unhappy in his heart.
Does being a Jinshi in the imperial exam mean you have a bright future?
That's right and no, who will show this future?
In the eyes of ordinary people, this Jinshi is naturally great.
But in the eyes of a prince like Zhang Can, almost all the officials he came into contact with were Jinshi. He could catch a lot of them. What's so great about Jinshi?
The key is to have a Jinshi who can be used, that is, a Jinshi who can climb to a high position, to be useful to him.
Wu Decao's face was full of wretchedness. Even though he was praised, he still looked embarrassed. It was obvious that he was a dog who couldn't get into the banquet.
Besides, whether you have a future as an official in the Wei Dynasty also depends on your appearance.
This supervisor...
That’s it, that’s all!
At this time, another official's article on selecting people was noticed by the officials next to Zhang Tengxiao, and he was called up.
Everyone's eyes turned to the judge again.
Wu Decao was embarrassed now.
He was called into the hall, but no one asked him to leave, so at this time he couldn't stay or leave, so he had to step back to make room for the newcomer.
The scholar walked into the hall with great interest. He first bowed generously to everyone around him, and then stood solemnly in front of Zhang Lan and others, waiting for them to comment on his article.
After Zhang Lan and Zhang Tengxiao read it, their impressions of this person's article can only be said to be acceptable, not at all as amazing as the article by the supervisor just now.
When it came to commenting, they only gave a few words of praise. After all, it was a literary meeting, not an examination hall, so there was no need to be so harsh.
Perhaps because of their comments, Zhang Can became interested in this juren.
I also asked about my hometown and background.
When Zhang Can heard that this man's father was the head of the Huguang Qing Li Department of the Ministry of Revenue, he suddenly became enthusiastic.
"It turns out he is Master Qi's son. No wonder the article is so elegant and refined! Come here, please bring a stool and ask Mr. Qi to sit next to me!"
When Master Qi heard this, he was flattered and bowed, and sat next to King Qi Zhang Can.
Did Zhang Can turn around and chat with Xie Liangcai and the man named Qi? To outsiders, this King of Qi was really a polite and virtuous corporal.
But no one noticed that Wu Decao was even more embarrassed in the hall at this time. He was now like a transparent person, being placed in the corner!
But at this time, someone was looking at Wu Decao. After a while, Shu Wang Zhang Huan said: "Uncle, please ask your servants to bring a stool to Wu Decao!"
Then everyone suddenly realized that there was a supervisor in the hall.
Wu Decao was actually scared, ashamed and angry at this time.
That's right, he asked Xu He to write the article for him. He was afraid that someone would find out and expose his secret, which would definitely make him unfavorable, so he was terrified.
But the identity of the supervisor is his own.
It seemed that everyone here looked down on him as a supervisor, which made Wu Decao, who was still a little complacent outside, feel extremely ashamed and angry at this moment.
But just when he was eager to find a hole to crawl in, a young man's voice came: "Uncle, your servants should also bring a stool to this Supervisor Wu!"
Hearing this, Wu Decao turned his head and looked at the young man in surprise.
He saw King Shu Zhang Xuan looking at him with a smile.
At this time, the stool was brought in. Zhang Huan ordered the stool to be placed behind him, and then smiled at Wu Decao: "Wu Jiansheng, come and sit down!"
Although King Qi was talking to Xie and Qi, his eyes also noticed the third brother. He smiled slightly and made an inexplicable "hum" sound from his nose, which seemed to be disdainful and a little displeased!
Zhang Huan saw Wu Decao sitting down and smiled and said: "I have been learning how to write articles from the master of the palace recently. It would be great if Wu Jiansheng has time to guide me!"
Wu Decao said with mixed feelings in his heart: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I did not do well in my article. In fact..."
"Haha, that's okay. Then tell me about the customs and customs of Jiangnan. I like to hear these the most..."
Everyone around laughed when they heard this. King Shu was just a child after all!
