Chapter two hundred and thirteenth when can I touch the style of Master Juren
Li Yuanwai looked at his son's confident appearance and wondered, "When did you meet Yuan Juren?"
If they really knew each other, why didn't Yuan Ju come to visit him? Mr. Li only had a son and a daughter, so he was very concerned about his son's friendships, fearing that someone would lead him astray. Fortunately, his son besides enjoying participating in poetry gatherings,
I didn’t engage in food, drink, prostitution or gambling.
Li Jian said: "We have known each other for several years, but we have hidden our identities before. But he is definitely willing to see me."
The man who often sold poems to him said that his name was Yuan Qian and that he was a scholar. The man was indeed talented, and the poems and songs he sold to him made him a well-known talent in Guangning County.
Li Jian had inquired before and found that there was no scholar named Yuan Qian in Guangning County. His servant also helped collect the names of all the scholars, and there was no one named Yuan among them.
Yuan, the pronunciation is the same as Yuan.
Yuan Qian must be Yuan Suijun! Moreover, one of his servants once saw Yuan Qian walking out of the city after selling his poems, which shows that he is not from the county. Yuan Qian used to wear a mask when selling poems, and he would occasionally cough.
, it can be seen that he is not in good health, which is consistent with the rumors.
No matter how smart he was, he still left these clues.
Unexpectedly, he could form such a fate with Yuan Juren!
Fortunately, when he bought those poems before, he still had the original manuscripts. If Yuan Suijun didn't want to see him, he would take out one and have it delivered to him, and Yuan Suijun should understand what he meant.
.
Li Jian knew very well that once a literati got involved with a ghostwriter, his reputation would be basically ruined.
Especially since Yuan Suijun is still Jinke Xieyuan, and he has Su Yueling, the king of Weiguo Township, as his wife, his future is bright. He must pay more attention to his reputation than others. With such a good friend, maybe in the future
He can also follow the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven.
It is not in vain that he has spent a lot of money buying these poems in the past few years.
Li Jian turned over these manuscripts and felt extremely happy.
"Dad, don't worry, our family will depend on me from now on."
Li Yuanwai looked at his brazen son and couldn't really rest assured. Forget it, he would go with his son on September 6th.
The only thing that made him unhappy was that except for relatives and friends, the Yuan family held banquets outside. This also meant that he was likely to sit at the same table with other farmers, and who knew whether their eating etiquette would be very bad.
The Yuan family still lacks foundation, so they are not particular about what they do.
Mr. Li couldn't help but shake his head.
…
The news that the Yuan family is about to set up flowing water mats has become the most high-profile news in Guangning County recently.
Su Yuewei and Zhang Xinghua naturally heard the news, and they were both envious and jealous. Zhang Xinghua wished she was Yuan Suijun's biological sister, so she would be the one enjoying the blessing now. She was afraid that she would be beaten by Yuan Bao in the future.
Shu was overwhelmed.
The sisters-in-law have been staying at home during this time. In the past few days, they made inquiries in many ways, and the final result made them completely give up. Zhang Chengwang really failed in the provincial examination this time, and did not even pass the examination.
.
Moreover, the nearby neighbors also knew about this, and some people deliberately shouted loudly at the door of the Zhang family, saying why Mr. Announcer didn't come to deliver invitations to the Zhang family.
Su Yuewei was so ashamed that she couldn't help but blame Zhang Xinghua for being a big mouth, making the matter known to everyone and making the Zhang family a laughing stock.
Zhang Xinghua refused to take the blame, saying that she was deceived because of her brother Zhang Wanli's nonsense, and she was also a victim.
She also blamed Yao Hua. She had asked Yao Hua not to tell others, but the news about Yao Hua spread everywhere, making her embarrassed to see anyone. Zhang Xinghua was so angry that she ran to Yao's house and slapped Yao Hua several times in the mouth.
It was at this time that Zhang Chengwang and Zhang Wanli returned to the city.
Originally, Zhang Chengwang planned to come back as soon as possible, but that day he fell down the stairs at the inn and broke his hand. He had to go to the doctor. It took three or four days before the hand managed to get better and he was able to travel.
This trip to the provincial examination had almost used up the little money he had.
In order to save money, the two of them couldn't afford even a slightly better carriage when they returned, so they had to sit in an open-air carriage. The horses' hooves filled the air with dust. By the time they arrived in Guangning County, both brothers were disgraced.
These days, Zhang Chengwang has also sorted out his mentality.
He was unlucky this time. He was so distracted by the test questions that he was unable to show his true ability. It will be different in the next session.
The twenty-six-year-old Juren has a promising future. He should not be defeated by a temporary setback, but this will only satisfy those who laugh at him.
This is probably God's test for him.
Zhang Chengwang was somewhat fortunate that before he came to the state capital, when others asked him, he was very modest in his words. This failure should not lead to ridicule.
The carriage stopped at the door of Zhang's house. Zhang Chengwang took out his money bag and gave the driver the few pieces of silver left in it. After the carriage left, he patted the dust on his body and took out a handkerchief to wipe his face.
Before he could open the door and enter the house, he heard a voice.
"Eh? Isn't this Zhang Juren? Why did Zhang Juren get home so late?"
Zhang Chengwang frowned. These words sounded particularly harsh to him. He turned his head and saw that the speaker was his neighbor Yao Peng.
Did he do it on purpose? Did he deliberately mock him for failing the exam?
Although he was disgusted to the extreme, Zhang Chengwang still suppressed his anger and said: "I don't dare to take the title of a civil servant. I am just an ordinary scholar." Even if he is just a scholar, he is not something that ordinary people can ridicule.
Yao Peng looked surprised, "What? Didn't you pass the exam this time?"
Zhang Wanli couldn't understand the other party's attitude, and he felt a little guilty, so he shouted loudly: "My brother didn't perform well this time, but he will definitely pass the exam next time."
Yao Peng's expression became even more surprised, "So you failed. We all thought you passed."
"I'm still thinking about when I can get involved in the literary style of the Juren Master."
Zhang Chengwang said in a cold tone, "I don't know who deliberately released such rumors to humiliate me. I hope Brother Yao can have his own thinking ability in the future and not follow others' opinions."
His first suspect was the Yuan family. Yuan Suijun really became rampant once he got his way.
Yao Peng was criticized and scolded, and he immediately became angry and stopped smiling.
"If your sister hadn't said that you are already a confirmed master of Juren, would we have believed it?"
"Earlier, your family boasted about your own merits to the sky, but now you come to scold us for repeating what others say. You have said everything right and wrong."
"Instead of scolding me, you should take good care of your sister. Thanks to her, now the neighbors know that you have become a noble lord."
It's a pity that the original shape was revealed within a few days.
Zhang Chengwang's mind went blank, and he couldn't help but staggered - the person who said he was admitted to the National People's Government was actually Xinghua? And she spread the news everywhere?
