Chapter 162: If something goes wrong, it is a demon (monthly ticket)
If you really want to promote the article written by Chen Kaizhi everywhere, the Lu family will lose their lives.
Deputy Envoy Zhang and the Lu family have a good relationship, so they are naturally partial. But what can they do? Here, Wang Tixue is the one who can make the decision. He can only regret Lu Xueba in his heart and nodded and said, "The officials know."
A banquet continued, but no one deliberately expressed it anymore. Many people brought their own proud articles, but it was difficult to take them out now, so they had to continue hiding them in their sleeves. With the "Talents" in front of the jade, who would dare to embarrass themselves on their "dirty"?
When it was getting late, the bells came from outside, and today's drinking party would be over.
All living beings began to say goodbye one after another. Lu Xueba had just finished his tribute and walked out as if he was flying. He was obviously very embarrassed and had no face to linger here anymore.
The other students were leaving in groups of three or five. Chen Kaizhi and Wucai also followed the crowd and arrived at the front hall of the school temple. A civil servant followed behind him and said, "Chen Sheng, wait."
Chen Kaizhi stopped and saw the clerk catching up with him panting. Chen Kaizhi bowed to him and said, "I don't know what's wrong?"
The clerk said, "Mr. Tixue asked Chen Sheng to visit him."
The juren walking by his side immediately looked over with envy when they heard this.
Chen Kaizhi did not hesitate and said, "Then please lead the way."
Attending a banquet is a public place and a private visit is another matter.
Therefore, Chen Kaizhi did not dare to neglect this and mentioned that he was in charge of academic affairs. His impression of himself often determined his future.
If the imperial examination can determine one's starting point, scholars, juren and jinshi have different starting points, but people like Wang Dixue are already considered one of the few high-level officials in the local area, and their energy is by no means something that county magistrates and prefects can reach.
Especially the school officials, who are called pure streams and have a noble status, are by no means easy.
Chen Kaizhi followed the civil servant back the same way, but did not return to the back hall, but went to the ear room.
The civil servant went in to report, and after a while, he invited Chen Kaizhi to see him. Chen Kaizhi walked into his ear room and saw Wang Tixue, who was a little drunk, sitting upright drinking and sobering up.
Chen Kaizhi took a few steps forward and bowed, "Students have met the Grand Master."
Wang Tixue had a smile in his eyes. In front of him was a long black lacquer. On the desk, Chen Kaizhi's article was placed at his elbow.
Wang Tixue said lightly: "This is a private visit, there is no need to be too polite. Come and sit down and talk."
Chen Kaizhi bowed and sat down, saying, "Are the Grand Master drunk? If so, the students are afraid of disturbing me."
Wang Tixue shook his head and smiled: "I am still wondering whether Chen Shengzhu is drunk?"
Uh... Chen Kaizhi just remembered that he had just pretended to be drunk in the hall. Of course, he could only say: "The students are so impatient, but now they have sobered up most of them."
"Is that true?" Wang Tixue seemed to have insight into Chen Kaizhi's heart and said with a smile: "It's good to wake up when you're drunk, come and have tea."
Someone poured tea and Chen Kaizhi smelled a strong tea fragrance from afar. He held the tea cup and gently lifted the floating tea foam with the tea cover. He took a sip. There was a faint tea fragrance between his mouth and he became a little more awake. Chen Kaizhi said: "Good tea."
"It's a good tea." Wang Tixue said while drinking tea: "This is a famous tea in Jinling, which is rare in Beijing."
Adults Tixue seemed to be chatting with Chen Kaizhi aimlessly, but Chen Kaizhi didn't dare to talk seriously.
You know, Master Tixue is very busy with official business. People like him, and they don’t know how many people are waiting for daily visits. After eating, they are full and are full, so they are nonsense with a scholar here for no reason?
After Wang Tixue said this, he put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Your article is very interesting. I am preparing to inform everyone of this "Talk of the Master". You will not blame me for making a fuss about making a decision."
Chen Kaizhi looked ashamed and said, "What do the Grand Master say? Students should do this."
Wang Tixue nodded, then said, "Is your disciple Mr. Fang from Kuaiji?"
Chen Kaizhi hurriedly said, "Yes, my teacher is named Zhengshan."
Wang Ti Xuezhao: "I have met him several times. Your mentor is a noble man. Speaking of which, I am also an old friend."
When Chen Kaizhi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He mentioned that Xue and his mentor are old friends? Why haven't he heard from his mentor?
Could it be that the two of them have a grudge, I'll go...
Chen Kaizhi thought about it, but looked very happy and said, "So that's it."
At this time, Wang Tixue sighed: "He accepted a good student. The provincial examination will be held at the beginning of next spring. Chen Kaizhi, I am quite confident in you."
Now the New Year is coming soon, and the provincial examination is not far away. It is hosted by Wang Tixue. However, Wang Tixue is only an examiner, but not a reviewer. All the papers are sent to the Ministry of Rites for review.
Chen Kaizhi said: "Yes, students have been working hard recently and dare not waste their studies."
Wang Tixue suddenly said with interest: "Is your family very poor?"
He seemed to be asking questions that were irrelevant.
Chen Kaizhi had to bite the bullet and answer: "The student is a little cold, which makes the adults laugh."
Wang Tixue shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if you have a bad background."
While chatting in a mess, Wang Tixue seemed to be very idle and said a lot of encouragement.
Chen Kaizhi responded very seriously, but he didn't hear what Wang Ti was meant in his words. He had never understood what medicine he wanted to sell in his studies. He could not hold it in his words.
After squeezing three incense sticks, Wang Tixue was still very interested and stroked his beard and said, "Hey, my legs and feet are inconvenient recently. When it rains, it hurts a lot, but I don't know why it's because it's rainy in Jinling, which is really annoying."
This is rheumatism, but Chen Kaizhi knew it was difficult to cure it, and he just said: "Adults should pay more attention to their health."
"Well..." Wang Tixue nodded and cheered up his spirits: "Now scholars are becoming increasingly difficult to discipline. As you said in this article, the teacher's way has not been passed on for a long time, and it is difficult to be confused by others. The current trend is not as good as before. It is rare that you can still stick to your original heart, which makes me very pleased."
Damn...
Are you fucking messing around?
But...at this moment, Chen Kaizhi suddenly became alert.
