Chapter 81 Letter of Introduction from the Governor
At the dinner table, everyone raised their heads because of Magistrate Lu's suggestion. Xiao Tai, Xu Yannian and Lu Qingzhi all looked at Xiao Chu with interest, looking back and forth to see if this little guy was a prodigy. Let's give it a try.
Don’t you know?
Xiao Chu selectively ignored the scrutinizing glances cast by the three people towards him. At the same time, he felt speechless at Magistrate Lu's proposal. You guys are a bit too much!
Oh my God! You actually want to test me. Do you believe that I will give you a brain teaser that a three-year-old child can do in a while? Then I will let you see if I am a liar.
Xiao Chu clicked his tongue and thought in his mind, did he really regard himself as a primary school student? He actually wanted to take a test on me, what kind of international joke was he kidding?
Chen Yuannian, who was sitting in the last seat, looked like he was watching the excitement and was not afraid of big things. He glanced at the faces of the three adults and saw that the three of them were in high spirits. Then he said to the three of them, "Three adults, Xiao Chu is better at it.
Those are couplets and poetry. As for the others, there may be others, but I haven’t discovered them yet.”
Chen Yuannian's tone was quite arrogant. He thought that a child prodigy was born in Dingyuan County. As the parent official of Dingyuan County, it would be extremely shameful for him.
However, just after Chen Yuannian finished speaking, Xiao Chu secretly rolled his eyes at this guy and thought to himself, although you are the parent officer of Dingyuan County, your actions are a bit suspicious of betraying your teammates. They haven't said anything yet.
, you sold me out!
Old man Chen, I’m going to draw a circle and curse you.
At this time, Xiao Chu felt extremely reluctant. Who would have thought that during the meal, these guys would come up with such a bad idea. What kind of test should be taken? Doesn't it take a lot of brains?
However, no one noticed Xiao Chu's emotions. After Lu Qingzhi listened to Chen Yuannian's words, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, as for couplets and ancient poems, let's try this little guy's talent."
After saying this, Lu Qingzhi turned his eyes to Xiao Tai and Xu Yannian, and respectfully asked them: "Two adults, what do you think?"
Xiao Tai's eyes were also full of interest, but he didn't speak and just nodded lightly.
Xu Yannian laughed and said three times, "Okay! Okay! Okay! Little guy, if you have real talent and learning, just perform well."
Xiao Chu, on the other hand, didn't have much emotional fluctuations. What test was he taking? If there was anything good to take, it would be better to bake a sweet potato.
Lu Qingzhi on the side saw that Xiao Chu's face did not have any fluctuations, as if the words of himself and others had not entered his ears, and he couldn't help but be surprised. Could this kid really have real talent and learning?
Or were you scared out of your wits in the bandits' den? Why didn't you say anything for so long?
At the main table, Xu Yannian was quite surprised to see Xiao Chu showing no interest at all. There were only a few people who could allow him to study knowledge in person, and this little guy actually showed an unfazed look on his face.
The way he moves? Is this because he has absolute confidence in his talent?
"Little guy, let's do this. If you perform well today, I will personally write a letter of introduction for you when you come to Beijing to take the exam in the future!" Xu Yannian smiled faintly, looked at Xiao Chu, and said.
As soon as Xu Yannian said this, everyone present except Xiao Tai looked shocked. The governor of Huaiyuan Province personally wrote a letter of introduction for a student who came to Beijing to take the exam. What an honor it is?
Xiao Changan stared at Xu Yannian in stunned silence. He didn't even feel nervous anymore. You know, if you have a letter of introduction from the Governor, it is basically equivalent to increasing the success rate of being a scholar by 70%. How big will this be?
What are the benefits? If Chu'er can pass the exam to become a scholar, he will truly be a proud ancestor, and the Xiao family's living standard will improve in a straight line!
"Letter of introduction?" Xiao Chu's eyes glowed.
"Sounds pretty cool."
When Xu Yannian saw Xiao Chu's facial expression finally changed, he burst into laughter. This kid's previous lack of reaction was intentional. He was obviously waiting for his words! Little ghost head, that's interesting.
Chen Yuannian had a bright smile on his face, and then explained for Xiao Chu, "Little guy, this letter of introduction is equivalent to your guide to the capital. With him, you can travel smoothly on the way to the capital.
At the same time, you will also enjoy better examination conditions when you arrive in the capital."
Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Chu's mouth turned up slightly. So it turns out that the Governor's letter of introduction still has such an effect?
In fact, what Chen Yuannian said is not comprehensive. You must know that Xu Yannian, as the governor of Huaiyuan Province, is a second-rank official who controls the lifeblood of the province. He is a serious official in the border areas. If you have his letter of introduction, who would dare not to give him face?
.After all, a governor with an official title like Xu Yannian only has thirteen people in the entire Daxia Kingdom, which shows his prominent status.
When Lu Qingzhi saw the corners of Xiao Chu's mouth raised, he smiled lightly. It turned out that this little guy was a master who never let go of rabbits.
On the main seat, Xiao Tai said nothing, quietly watching everyone's reactions, but his eyes still stayed on Xiao Chu most of the time, looking back and forth, although he didn't understand where his weird feeling came from.
came here, but I always felt that I had a certain connection with this little guy Xiao Chu.
Seeing Xiao Chu's agreement, Lu Qingzhi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, little guy, you have to behave well next!"
Then Lu Qingzhi turned his attention to Governor Xu Yannian and said, "Since this little guy agrees, please ask the Governor to propose a question."
Xu Yannian laughed, but his eyes always stayed on Xiao Chu, constantly observing Xiao Chu's behavior. Now he had become very curious about this little guy who had not said a word for a long time. After all, a five or six-year-old child,
Putting aside your talent, being able to show such calmness in front of yourself and others is an amazing thing in itself. If you have a high literary talent, then it is not an exaggeration to call him a child prodigy.
Everyone in the scene was paying attention to the Governor. After all, he was the largest official in Huaiyuan Province. Apart from the emperor, it was Lord Xu who was in charge of Huaiyuan Province, so everyone naturally valued him very highly.
Xiao Chu, on the other hand, looked indifferent, and then secretly rolled his eyes at Chen Yuannian, thinking, don't blame me if I can't stand up to you, I never said that I was a child prodigy. After all, Xiao Chu knew it in his heart.
, what he knows is what he has learned and understood before. If this adult comes up with a brand new famous pair through the ages, and he can't match it, wouldn't he be embarrassed?
Xu Yannian pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands and said, "Yes."
Everyone at the table turned their attention to Xu Yannian, and only heard Xu Yannian whisper softly: "Chickens and dogs cross the frost bridge, plum blossoms and bamboo leaves all the way."
After everyone heard this, they immediately sighed, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
