Zhang Yue was not too surprised that he did not enter the Zhoujin Hall.
Over the years, he felt that many things seemed to go well but in the end, they didn't go so well.
But if you don't make progress, you won't make progress. Anyway, it's good to make friends with professors, ministers, Zhang Cai, etc.
As long as you present the Three-Character Sutra, you will be appreciated by noble people, so I hope you can put it into the future child prodigy test.
This is a road to the blue sky! Isn’t it written like this in time-travel novels? Also, as soon as you time-travel, you can’t wait to invent this and that, and the money will roll in.
In Nanfeng Academy, Zhang Youzhi said very apologetically to Zhang Yue: "Sanlang, I wanted to let you enter the academy, but it turns out... there are too many people in the clan academy this year, and everyone has asked for help. I thought that you are still young, even this year
If you don’t take it, it’s normal to take it next year.”
"After summer, I will try again, but one day earlier and one day later is not much different."
Zhang Youzhi said it very tactfully, and did not tell Zhang Yue the real inside story, so as not to dampen his desire to study. He had seen many talented scholars who could not withstand such setbacks in their studies. In the end,
He gave up halfway. He didn't want Zhang Yue to follow their path.
Zhang Yue said: "Thank you sir, the student has planned to apply for the county school's admission examination this year."
Zhang You nodded and said, "The county school admission test was pretty good."
Zhang Yue said: "The examination is conducted by your Majesty personally. I have a few years to go until Ding year, and I have to serve as a corvee. In this dynasty, Ding year is said to be twenty, but there are not enough Ding people in our county.
Light service, heavy service after the age of twenty, no matter whether it is light service or heavy service, there is no harm in studying."
Zhang Youzhi said: "This dynasty's military service laws have always harmed the people."
Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Fortunately, this time the household registration has been reduced to the third level, otherwise the battle in Yaqian would have been a headache."
Zhang Youzhi said: "You can just take the exam, don't worry about anything else. That's right, what subject do you want to apply for?"
"Jingyi."
Zhang You asked directly: "Are you proficient in all nine classics?"
Zhang Yue said: "I heard that only the Five Classics will be tested, and candidates can make their own choices. Students have already read Yi, Shu, and poems familiarly, and then read the rituals. The two classics of Zhou Li can barely give it a try."
"Nonsense," Zhang You said, smacking the table, "Etiquette, Zhou Li's Second Classic has only three to five months of practice, how can I master it so well that I dare to give it a try."
Zhang Yue lowered his head and said, "Students just do their best."
"You, you," Zhang Youzhi shook his head and said, "That's all, I have some old friendship with you, so let me tell you something."
"Sir..." Zhang Yue was overjoyed. He came today just to talk about this.
Zhang Youzhi said solemnly: "I can give you a message, but if you can't understand the Five Classics and don't do well in the exam, I won't lose face just to protect you."
Zhang Yue immediately said: "Sir, don't worry, the students will do their best."
Zhang Youzhi said: "Just take it as a guideline that ten paths lead to seven paths. As long as you can do this well in the exam, I will speak for you with your Majesty."
Zhang Youzhi set a high standard by saying this. He expected that as long as Zhang Yue could answer more than 60%, he could ask the county magistrate to recruit Zhang Yue into the county school.
Zhang Yue was about to thank him.
Zhang Youzhi said: "Don't say these words. Come to Nanfeng Academy five days after the county examination, and I will teach you seal script myself."
Zhang Yue thought that even with everything arranged to this point, what else could he be dissatisfied with?
Guo Xuexue needs ten correct questions before he can enter the county school. He can do seven. For students from poor families, having such a teacher can save them several years of studying.
"Student, I would like to thank you sir. I cannot say thank you enough for your kindness. I have a grudge to ask you before I say goodbye."
Zhang You asked directly: "Oh?"
Zhang Yue said: "The students want to ask the teacher to give the students two words to teach them at all times. Once the students are not diligent in studying, they will think of the teacher to give them instructions."
Zhang You laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this?"
Having said this, Zhang You walked straight to the desk and immediately wrote two words with a brush.
Zhang Youzhi gave the two words to Zhang Yue and said: "After you go back, you can also carefully figure out the method of seal script. You are the most talented person I have ever seen in seal script. Don't let me down in the future."
Zhang Yue burst into tears of gratitude when he saw these two words. When he returned, he kept one for himself and the other for Peng Jingyi to complete his explanation.
As for when I learn seal script from Zhang Youzhi in the future, I will often ask for a few more words in the name of learning. If I find out in the future, I will have an excuse. But the possibility is too small.
Zhang Yue said goodbye and left, and went to the library to find a job. As for the job, he didn't say much. He just asked Zhang Yue to come to the library to borrow books when he wanted to. Zhang Yue was very moved after hearing this, and before leaving, he asked Zhang Yue to borrow books.
"Zhou Rites", "Etiquette" and Zheng Xuan's "Annotations on Three Rites" were all borrowed.
The minister watched Zhang Yue leave the library with a messy expression. But when his little granddaughter learned that Zhang Yue could no longer play backgammon with him, she burst into tears.
Return to Wuxi from Nanfengyuan.
Guo Lin already knew about Zhang Yue's rejection from the clan school.
Guo Lin was not good at words and didn't know how to comfort Zhang Yue. He could only sit aside and hold it in for a long time and only said, "Junior brother is back!"
Then Guo Lin held back for a long time, organized some words and finally said.
"Junior brother, are you hungry? Let's eat noodles tonight!"
Zhang Yue answered a few words obviously absent-mindedly, but he did not refuse anyone who came to eat. However, Guo Lin was fortunate that Zhang Yue had a good appetite. He not only finished a large bowl of noodles, but also secretly took some from his bowl.
One chopstick.
Guo Lin held the bowl and thought to himself, Junior Brother's behavior must be nothing.
What made Guo Lin even more gratified was that Zhang Yue did not give up on himself and sat down at the table to read after dinner.
Being able to study hard means that the junior brother has put aside his sorrow and gone all out to prepare for the county examination.
Guo Lin secretly felt happy when he thought of this, but he was also a little sad. From July last year to the present, his junior brother had only been studying the Bible for only half a year. No matter how talented he was and had a photographic memory, when it came to the county examination in March this year, the time was still too long.
It was rushed.
How can you compare with those scholars who have lived in poverty for ten years?
Even Guo Lin spent six or seven years studying the Bible himself. Even so, there was no guarantee that he could only make one or two mistakes in the county school entrance examination.
Junior brother is destined to fail this exam.
But Guo Lin had no way to tell Zhang Yue the truth. He could only hope that he would take the exam as an opportunity to study hard in the past few months and not give up on himself because he couldn't get into the clan school.
But when he said this, Guo Lin suddenly thought that he had wasted several months last year on writing letters, so he had no time to think about it.
After Guo Lin calmed down, he thought about how sad he would be if he passed the exam but his junior brother didn't.
Guo Lin couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yue as he thought about it, and was immediately startled.
It would be expected if Zhang Yue hugged his head and cried or something at this moment, and it would not make Guo Lin so frightened at this moment. But Zhang Yue was clearly slapping his legs and laughing, and he couldn't laugh out loud. What kind of thing is this?
Horrible thing?
Junior brother, are you crazy?
Zhang Yue was not crazy. At this moment, he remembered that although he went to Nanfeng Academy today to confirm the news that he had not entered the clan school, he got two other pieces of good news.
First, with the recommendation of a professor, my chances of being admitted in the county examination will be greatly increased, and at least I will be on the same starting line as others.
The second is to get Peng Jingyi’s request.
This is simply a double happiness! In this way, it is a blessing in disguise. If you enter the county school, you will be even happier than entering the clan school.
When Zhang Yue thought of this, he couldn't help but feel elated and excited?
Therefore, we are overjoyed, but there is nothing we can do about it. We just have such a small capacity, and it is easy for us to overfill our capacity, and we started to have problems even before we were admitted to the county school.
At this moment, Zhang Yue saw the horrified expression on Guo Lin's face opposite him.
"Senior brother?"
Zhang Yue couldn't help but walked closer in confusion.
Guo Lin stood up in shock: "Junior brother, don't scare me..."
"Huh?" Zhang Yue didn't know why and looked confused.
Guo Lin said sadly: "Junior brother, you must have lost your mind for a moment. Our village has a local method, please bear with it..."
After saying that, Guo Lin picked up Zhang Yue's wrist. Zhang Yue was caught off guard, but saw that Guo Lin had already opened his mouth and bit it...
In the quiet night of the mountain village, a shrill scream suddenly came: "Brother, are you a dog?"
The native dog under the fence suddenly opened his eyes, looked around, and then lay down again.
The lame slave just turned over when he heard the cry.
Xuexiu Guo and his wife glanced towards the hut. Xuexiu Guo said to his wife who was full of doubts: "The two brothers are making trouble. Go to sleep."
In the hut, Guo Lin was already dressing Zhang Yue's wrists with an apologetic look on his face.
At this moment, Zhang Yue thought of Fan Jin who passed the exam. Senior brother, are you doing this to pay tribute to Butcher Hu? Then wait until I am admitted to the county school.
Ps: No surprise, it should be on the shelves on the 1st of next month. I would like to ask my brothers and sisters to save their monthly tickets and recommendation tickets for next month and support me. I have been writing books for so many years, and I used to ask for recommendation votes.
This is my first time asking for a monthly ticket. I hope everyone can help and let us continue with this book!
Finally, thank you all for your recommendation votes. Some book friends even opened several accounts to vote. Thank you! Thank you too!
