After reading this sentence, I couldn't help but cast a glance at Su Ziji.
"This person is really a seed for reading. I originally thought that this person wanted to study just for clinging to the throne. I didn't expect him to be someone who really understood the key points. But to be able to write this sutra at the age of fifteen is really impressive!"
Fang Wenshao did not know that Su Ziji was able to make rapid progress because of his own experience, and the similar styles made Fang Wenshao feel like a confidant.
"Although the article is still a little short of time, it is relative to Juren."
"If you want to talk about the talents in the government examination, I dare not say that it is like taking the things in the bag. It is nine out of ten."
"Even if such a person is not necessarily a noble person, it is not difficult to become a civil servant. Especially considering that he is only fifteen years old, he has a bright future. If he can pass the Jinshi examination and go to court, this county will have one more county gentry.
It’s a family.”
Even though the Fang family has a Jinshi, it is one of the two major surnames in this town, but compared with the Zheng family, which has a Jinshi, it is already at a disadvantage. If they can't produce a Jinshi in their own or Fang Xi's generation, I'm afraid.
These three autumn crossings will gradually become Zhengjia Town in the eyes of everyone.
Although the two families were on good terms, this was not something Fang Wenshao wanted to see, so he wanted to make a good relationship for his son, but the young man had to wait and see again.
This thought was just a quick flash. In reality, Fang Wenshao was just slightly startled and didn't say anything after reading it. He saw the remaining people hand in their papers and took them one by one and read them.
After reading it, Fang Wenshao sighed in his heart.
"Zhang Sheng can be considered the worst. I can only say that I have to give birth to a child, and it depends on luck."
"Yu Lu and his son Fang Xi are already a little bit popular. It's natural to be a middle school student. If it comes to the government examination, you can also try it and see your luck."
"As for Su Zi's status, it's all in the bag, and the end is clear. Although it hasn't smoothed out the gap between people, it's not far behind."
Fang Wenshao is someone who has been through this experience, and he knows deeply that Tong Sheng actually has some talent, and if he studies hard, he can pass the exam.
It is not difficult to become a scholar from a child to a scholar, but there is actually a huge gap between a scholar and a scholar. Many prodigies and talents who became famous at a young age are stuck at this level.
Some people say it's luck, which has something to do with it, but the bigger reason is that you can't cross this natural chasm.
And this young man was actually close.
His mood was very complicated at the moment, so he said to Su Ziji: "Nephew Su Xian, your writing of scriptures is very sophisticated. I don't think there will be any problem in the imperial examination. As long as you are not too unlucky, you can win."
This luck often refers to taboos or the examiner's preference.
Unless you encounter an examiner who is a bit maverick or has an inexplicable dislike for a certain text, this kind of steady article will at least not hold you back.
Su Ziji heard Fang Wenshao's praise for him and felt ashamed. He was just taking advantage of Fang Wenshao's experience and hurriedly thanked him humbly.
Yu Lu took the article and read it with a look of surprise on his face. Even the casual Zhang Sheng changed his expression.
Su Ziji glanced at the two of them and knew that they were surprised by his progress. It was obvious that in just a few days, his article had improved again.
Fang Wenshao secretly sighed, he was still suspicious just now, but now it seems that at this level, it is too late to make friends, so he has to talk further. Fang Zheng smiled and said: "It's getting late, I have asked the kitchen to prepare wine and food
, why don’t you chat while eating?”
It's rare to see a husband speculating like this with a junior, but he had to intervene to avoid missing dinner and leaving people hungry.
Fang Wenshao paused with his hands and apologized: "I forgot the time, please let someone serve the food!"
Even after sitting down at the table, he still did not forget to tell Su Ziji some things to pay attention to when going to the government examination and the provincial examination. Everyone listened with interest. For those who are interested in the imperial examination, these reminders from the examiners are valuable experience.
When the banquet was over and everyone went to the guest room to rest, Fang Wenshao was still stunned. Fang Zheng and her maid put away the dishes and came back to see him. They couldn't help being surprised and asked him the reason.
Fang Wenshao sighed: "I originally thought that this person was attached to me, but now it seems that it is too late for my son and my son to get to know each other."
The next day, when Yu Lu woke up, someone knocked on the door and found that it was Fang Xi. Yu Lu hurriedly let him in: "Cousin, why are you here so early? Please sit down!"
Fang Xi suddenly blushed, coughed, sat down, and said with a smile: "I bothered my cousin and everyone yesterday, and finally restored my face. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to see anyone -"
Yu Lu didn't take it seriously: "My relatives, this is nothing. What's wrong with you coming so early?"
Fang Xi had something to do, so she said casually: "Cousin, I have something to do when I come here this time. I heard that you often study together? Now that the imperial examination is coming, why not live in my house? My father is your uncle. Is it right for my family?
Still can’t live here?”
"Besides, Brother Su is alone at home and is not taken care of. You persuade Brother Su to stay together so that we can study together and occasionally visit friends. When the time comes, we will go to the mansion to take an exam together."
Fucheng is a week away from Linhua County. Basically, the birth of a child is a few days early, and it doesn't look like it will be long.
"The oxcart and book boy at home have been selected early, and the travel expenses and silver have been prepared in advance." Yu Lu immediately understood Fang Xi's thoughts: "As for Brother Su, I have known him since childhood and understand his character. I am afraid that I will not accept your kindness.
."
Then he said: "If my cousin wants to make friends with Brother Su, there will always be opportunities in the future."
Fang Xilai thought about it and couldn't force it, so he smiled and said, "I'm being reckless."
But Su Ziji didn't know this, and was not disturbed. He got up in the morning with satisfaction, finished his breakfast, and said goodbye. The Fang family prepared an ox cart and everyone rode back to the county seat. Even Fang Xi was seen off.
On a rainy night yesterday, Sanqiudu couldn't see clearly, but now I can see that there are shops in a row, and there is a Tutu Temple not far away. From time to time, there are people selling snacks, and it looks very prosperous.
Seeing Su Ziji's surprised expression, Fang Xi felt a little proud and said, "My town was originally Sanqiudu. It is located in a strategic location and has gradually become more prosperous. Not long ago, the county also built an inspection department in the town."
"Privately, it is also called Zheng Fangzhen, because at least 30% of the people have these two common surnames."
"The Zheng Fang family is proud of their studies. My father is a scholar. The previous generation of the Zheng family produced a Jinshi. Both families have their own family studies that can enlighten them."
Su Ziji nodded repeatedly, feeling quite fond of him, especially Fang Xi and Fang Wenshao. With this kind of farming and studying in aristocratic families, he could upgrade himself overnight. With a little hard work back home, he would be able to upgrade the Four Books and Five Classics to level 7 before the government examination.
Level.
What a nice town with nice people!
Fang Xi didn't know what Su Ziji was thinking, but he could detect the change in Su Ziji's attitude. He thought it was the town's reading culture that impressed Su Ziji. At the same time, he was flattered and his attitude became more enthusiastic.
It was not far from the county town in Sanqiu. When they arrived at the county town and they separated, Fang Xi took out a lotus bag from his arms and handed it to Su Ziji.
Su Ziji raised his eyebrows slightly: "What is this?"
"Brother Su, thank you for accompanying me to resolve my matter. This is a little thought of mine. It is some personal money I saved. Don't refuse. The government examination is just around the corner. When you come back from the examination, you can slowly pay me back.
that is."
Su Ziji immediately knew that this was Fang Xijue's entanglement with him.
