034: How can you stand out without spending money!
"Two hundred and sixty-seven people, Cheng Qing took the exam to 97."
Master Cheng Wu seemed to be talking homely, and his wife Li gave him a light look, "What are you up to? Brother Qing had just learned the Four Books and Five Classics more than four months ago. He was admitted to the academy with him, and he had studied it for at least two or three years!"
The popularity of culture is not high nowadays. Nine-year compulsory education like later generations is something you dare not dream of in your dreams. It is illiterate everywhere. It is a very rare for ordinary people to read and read. Most people still live their lives without reading or reading.
The students admitted by Nanyi Academy are not only literate, but do not have a certain foundation in the Four Books and Five Classics, so the academy cannot be admitted.
Anyone who is admitted to the academy will be honest and study for two or three years and gets a scholar. As for whether he can pass the imperial examination, in addition to teaching in the academy, it also depends on his diligence and talent.
Cheng Qing is comparing with such a group of young people. There are 267 people in the T-type class, and Cheng Qing ranked 97 in the first monthly exam. Considering how many months Cheng Qing has been studying, Li thinks that Cheng Qing’s scores are really good!
Fearing that her husband would look down on Cheng Qing because of this, Li added another sentence:
"Let's look at the next monthly exam. Brother Qing will definitely make progress. This child may not have the talent of Meng Huaijin, but he will not even leave his books on vacation, so he may not be inferior to Meng Huaijin in the future."
The fifth master was helpless.
"I didn't say he can't..."
He said something, and Li had countless words to refute him. If outsiders didn't know, they would think Cheng Qing was Li's grandson!
But that child is really popular.
Cheng's family has been living in Nanyi County. There are many children in the clan, and many of them study in academies, and many of them have better grades than Cheng Qing. Li's attention to Cheng Qing can only be said that Cheng Qing has attracted Li's attention.
Not to mention the distance, just talking about Cheng Gui from the second house. Li didn't dare to care about it. Zhu from the second house was like a thief, afraid that Li would steal her grandson.
Oh, the heart of a villain!
Mr. Cheng Wu now really hopes that the court will deal with the disaster relief silver corruption case as soon as possible. His younger brother in the capital should also take care of Cheng Zhiyuan from the case.
Even if a person dies and cannot save his life, he must at least have a reputation.
Master Cheng Wu’s idea was initially based on the interests of the clan, for the reputation of the Cheng family in Nanyi, and for the sake of the younger brother in the capital, but now there is another reason - the criminal’s son cannot take the scientific examination, and Cheng Zhiyuan’s crimes will not be cleared, so Cheng Qing’s child will be delayed!
That would be a real pity.
The fifth master thought for a moment, but went to the study to write a letter and asked someone to send it to the capital.
"You must hand it over to Master Six in person."
...
Cheng Qing was admitted to the 97th class in the T-character class.
Cheng Gui took the exam to 19 of Class B.
Their grades were posed, and those with eyes could tell how big the gap was. When Madam Zhou heard the news, she knew that the old lady would be happy.
Sure enough, after hearing the news, the old lady asked someone to call her third daughter-in-law Huang:
"Brother Gui doesn't even go home on holidays. He is devoted to studying hard in the academy. He spends all his energy on the subject of science. You, an aunt, should also care more about his food, clothing, housing and transportation."
Huang hurriedly defended, "I know that Brother Gui will not come back during the holiday, and my daughter-in-law has sent someone to send the newly cut autumn clothes. In the Mid-Autumn Festival Wenhui, Brother Gui will definitely participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he will add another 100 taels of silver. If his mother feels it is not enough, her daughter-in-law will order someone to give it to her again!"
The annual Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Festival is a grand event in Nanyi. Not only did scholars become famous and make connections, Cheng Gui is already sixteen years old. In order to make him concentrate on the scientific examination, the second wife did not discuss his marriage, but if there was really a great marriage, the second wife would not refuse.
Whether a young man is excellent depends on his father's official position, the overall power of the family, and the young man's own etiquette.
The Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Festival is the best occasion. When Huang knew that his mother-in-law loved Cheng Gui, he would naturally take care of all these things carefully for Cheng Gui.
Anyway, Huang really doesn't feel sorry for using the money from the public.
Mrs. Zhu was barely satisfied, and Mrs. Huang only talked about Qiuyi and silver. The old lady asked the kitchen to stew a cup of nourishing soup every day to send it to the academy.
"You must see Brother Gui drink and lose his body. How can his scientific ambitions be realized?"
"It's still my mother's thoughtfulness."
Huang listened respectfully and did not mention the arrangements. Only Madam Zhou and Mrs. Zhu were left in the main room. The old lady smiled meaningfully: "It's another Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Conference. Brother Gui is going to participate in the Cultural Conference. I think that little villain should join in the fun."
Madam Zhou laughed, "How can he be compared with Young Master Gui? If the old lady is not happy, it is better to--"
The old lady raised her hand to stop her: "There will be too many people pay attention to the Mid-Autumn Festival article. The old man in the fifth house is to prevent us from being like a thief, so he doesn't have to do anything to the little evil. Let him go, see if he has received more ridicule or praise!"
"That's hard to say. At the literary conference, no one noticed him."
Madam Zhou's words attracted Mrs. Zhu's liking.
Yes, although the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Festival is held in Nanyi, young talents from Xuandu Mansion will go there. How many people will Cheng Qing, an inconspicuous little man, pay attention?
Mrs. Zhu felt that she seemed to be too concerned about Cheng Qing, so where would she match that little villain!
...
The moon is rounder and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching day by day.
The students in the academy were a little impetuous and wanted to shine at the Mid-Autumn Festival Arts Festival. The Master was often distracted during teaching.
Or you need to prepare two articles carefully, or prepare several poems about the moon in advance, and show them at the Mid-Autumn Festival literary fair. Cheng Qing can hear everyone discussing the Mid-Autumn Festival literary fair wherever he goes. Fatty Cui also asked her privately if she is ready, and Cheng Qing asked her what preparations she would make.
Fatty Cui said strangely:
“Everyone has excellent works, how are you not ready to stand out?”
Compare literary talent with a group of scholars at the literary meeting?
Stop teasing!
Cheng Qing dared to take the scientific examination because the scientific examination is a standard examination-oriented education. There are divisions for what to test and what to test, and there are also fixed formats for writing eight-legged essays. But when it comes to talent, she really doesn’t have any.
If you make a few nonsense poems at the literary conference, others will laugh!
As for the copying of the article, Cheng Qing had considered it. The Mid-Autumn Festival literary club must have written poems to chant the moon, but this Wei Dynasty was consistent with Cheng Qing's history before the end of the Yuan Dynasty. The most famous chant of the moon was written by his predecessors.
The only range that Cheng Qing could copy was the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Are there any famous poems about the moon in these two dynasties?
She didn't remember one song!
Not to mention the excellent articles, I have been in the academy for more than a month. The Master has sorted out the basics for everyone and is teaching to solve the problem... Haha.
Fatty Cui saw that she didn't understand anything else. He was so sorry that he pulled Cheng Qing aside and gave her a mysterious guide:
Chapter completed!
