Facing a few familiar classmates, Bai Moyang still had to be humble and shook his head: "Since Su Ziji is a Jieyuan student, he must be very knowledgeable."
The words changed and he added: "But if the Imperial Academy has hidden dragons and crouching tigers, how can it be compared to other places?"
"That makes sense!" Others nodded after hearing this.
This is actually their true thinking. So what if a province is solved? In the past few years, in which class of Jinshi did not Taixue come out on top and account for the majority?
"Two majors will lead to Jinshi. Kuixuan will always be in Taixue, and one-third of the candidates will get Jinshi."
This means that one-third of the national imperial examinations are admitted to Taipei students, and at least one of the top two candidates is obtained by a Taipei student. Only those like me who can enter Taixue are truly talented. Su Ziji has obtained a province. Yuan, it's just taking advantage of the place where there aren't so many talented people.
With the title of Jie Yuan, he can scare others, but he cannot convince the imperial students.
One person rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Brother Bai, you are the chief of the prison, and you have a book that records the words and deeds of the imperial students. Why don't you give this crazy student a slap in the face? I'm sorry that he can't comply with the rules everywhere..."
As soon as these words came out, the people around him couldn't help but nodded: "What you are saying is that from the outer house to the inner house, even if we have learned the rules when we were young, we still suffered a lot. Forgive this Su Ziji no matter what Even cows cannot escape.”
"First kill his majesty first."
In addition to studying, Taixue is actually about cultivating etiquette and complying with rules everywhere. Therefore, there is another benefit after being admitted to the imperial examination. That is, the wild Jinshi still needs a training period of about one year - learning the rules.
If a student from the Imperial College wins a Jinshi title, he or she can be directly promoted to an official position.
After hearing what everyone said, Bai Moyang was moved in his heart, but he still shook his head and said, "This is a victory without force."
No matter how many people said it, they still didn't agree.
Some people looked disappointed, while others muttered: "You're not the only chief."
I didn't know there was such a group of people. Su Ziji returned to the temporary dormitory thoughtfully and said with a smile.
"No regrets, I'm going out for a while. The Xuecheng here has arranged other dormitories for you and me. I want to go take a look first and get settled before I come to pick you up."
After leaving Taixue, there was a rental oxcart not far from the gatehouse. Su Ziji went over and hailed one.
"Master, where are you going?" the coachman asked.
"Qingyuan Temple."
After telling the address given by Zhou Mingda, Su Ziji sat in the bullock cart and continued to digest the experience he had just absorbed.
The wheels of the oxcart rolled over the snow on the road. Although the snow had stopped, the weather was still bad. The sky was gloomy and there was often a cold wind. There were not many pedestrians on the road, and most of them were ordinary people.
To make a living, I have to go out in this weather.
When passing by a small wine shop, there were many people standing or sitting inside, drinking wine mixed with water and talking loudly.
"I heard that some houses in the suburbs of Beijing collapsed due to snow. They are homeless in this weather. How pitiful!"
"Who says it's not the case? I just hope that the court can make proper arrangements. Otherwise, in this weather, if we don't have any relatives to take refuge, I'm afraid it won't be possible without a few freezing to death."
"Fortunately, it only snowed for one night and half the day. It's really bad if it snows continuously."
"Stop talking like a crow. In previous years, wouldn't there be a snow or two at this time? Nothing will happen!"
"I hope so!"
Su Ziji sighed softly after hearing this.
In fact, when the Zheng Dynasty was founded, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, which was much better than in the late Wei Dynasty. However, even in the so-called prosperous times, natural disasters were still a disaster for ordinary people.
This is basically unexplainable and is due to the fragility of the agricultural economy.
Lifting the curtains of the car and looking at the sky outside, Su Ziji just hoped that the wind and snow would stop falling continuously.
If rain falls for a long time, it will become a disaster, and so will snow.
After driving for about a quarter of an hour, the driver in front said: "Sir, the layman's room in the outer wing of Qingyuan Temple has arrived."
It seemed that it was not far from Taixue, and Su Ziji was quite satisfied with the distance.
After getting off the oxcart and looking at the building in front of him that could be called a garden, Su Ziji had to sigh secretly: "It is worthy of being an imperial temple. Even the laymen's rooms are built like a garden."
On the contrary, Qingyuan Temple, not far from the layman's house, looks majestic in appearance, but it has a sense of history and is more simple.
"After asking the driver a few words on the way, even the common people knew that Qingyuan Temple is one of the best temples in the capital. There were clan members who became monks here in the previous dynasty, and there are also clan members who became monks here in this dynasty."
"However, it can be inferred from the time that the county prince who was a cousin to the emperor was afraid that he was frightened by the emperor's brutal method of killing the prince's family, so he hid directly."
"It was redeemed by his family soon, but it also shows that Qingyuan Temple does have some status in the upper class."
With this thought in mind, Su Ziji entered the garden where the layman's room was located. There was a bungalow at the door, where the volunteers were.
After he passed by, he knocked on the door in the middle. The door was ajar, and soon a clear voice came from inside: "Please come in."
As soon as Su Ziji entered the door, the three people talking in this simple room were stunned.
It was such a coincidence that Su Ziji looked up and saw the man in green shirt. He was handsome and tall, with a bookish look on his face. Who else could he be if he wasn't Cao Yiyan?
"Why is he here?" Cao Yiyan stood not far away, looking at the young man walking towards him. His mood was probably more complicated than that of Su Ziji, and the smile on his face was a little forced.
"The address I left for him is not here. Su Ziji has a recommendation order and does not need to find an additional place to live. Does he know that the princess is coming?"
As soon as this thought came up, I felt even more uncomfortable.
Su Ziji is now a hot potato, a firecracker that may explode at any time. If this person has ulterior motives and wants to use the princess to gain power... he is suicidal!
Although the princess is young, she is his aunt in terms of seniority!
Thinking of this, Cao Yiyan took the initiative to greet him and asked with a smile: "Why is Brother Su Xian here? Could it be that he is here to enjoy the plum blossoms?"
Su Ziji glanced at his smiling face and replied: "That's not the case. It was Master Zhou of Taixue who recommended me to live here."
"If there is a recommendation order, wouldn't it be possible to directly move into the upper house, but also to live out?"
"I went straight to the upper house if the student refused to accept it. In order to avoid trouble, Mr. Zhou asked me to find another place to live." Su Ziji simply explained.
Cao Yiyan was speechless, but since Su Ziji said this, it was probably true.
At this time, the face of the young man in his twenties across from him was a little gloomy. Firstly, from a close look, Su Ziji had outstanding appearance and really looked like a handsome gentleman.
Secondly, why is this person here?
Although he heard the reason, Xiang Xiuping never expected that he would soon meet the person he did not want to see after handing in the papers and leaving Taixue and heading straight here.
Su Ziji looked at him in surprise, and after a moment's recall, he recognized that Xiang Xiuping seemed to be one of the people who was hostile to him.
To be honest, Su Ziji was a little surprised to see Xiang Xiuping here.
The other party was born inside, so he couldn't live here too?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and Su Ziji's face didn't show any signs of confusion: "Who are you?"
Xiang Xiuping was startled for a moment, and then became a little annoyed.
