After hearing the man's question, Wang Xiucai's face turned green and red, and he didn't know how to answer. After a moment, he said: "I don't know if I know this Gong Jian you are talking about.
That person. But if he is a young scholar under twenty years old, then I think it is very likely that the person you are talking about is the youngest Juren master I met in the provincial capital this time.
"
This time, it was the man's turn to be surprised. He never thought that the person Wang Xiucai knew would have such an identity. After a moment of hesitation, he immediately recalled that he had heard other people report about Gong Jian's physical training before.
human condition.
At that time, those people did say that the two brothers seemed to be scholars. The elder brother was less than twenty years old, and it was rare for two such young scholars to come to their small county.
So even now, this person still has a certain impression in his mind.
Now that the age and appearance match, is this person really the youngest Juren master he has ever seen as Wang Xiucai said? But does such a young Juren master really exist? Thinking of this,
The man couldn't help but asked in confusion.
"Wang Xiucai, aren't you kidding me? When did we have such a young Juren master here? You are less than twenty years old, aren't you still awake?"
Hearing this person's rhetorical question, the Wang Xiucai showed some shame and a somewhat dumbfounded expression on his face, and then he said: "Oh, I didn't tell you about going to the provincial capital to take the examination.
.After you listen to what I said, you will know that this time I went to the provincial capital, it can be said that I saw real people, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world."
With that said, Wang Xiucai sent them to take the provincial capital examination. After seeing Gong Jian take the exam at such a young age, the various performances and words of the students could be described.
Wang Xiucai, who was somewhat emotional, continued: "Hey, but who knows, after the red list was posted, people were on the list, but people like us were left behind. At that time, I don’t know how many people felt that their faces were
It’s a burning pain.”
Wang Xiucai had never ridiculed Gong Jian before, nor did he really look down on him from the bottom of his heart. He was just a little surprised by Gong Jian's age, but whether he would come to take the examination or not was not something that garrulous scholars like them could say.
, after all, people have also obtained the title of scholar, and only then are they qualified to take the exam.
In fact, among people like them, there are also those who were selected as scholar at a young age, and they once took the exam, but failed, and have been taking the exam until now. Of course, there are also those who were selected as scholar at a young age and were stopped by the teacher.
In order to prevent him from taking the Juren Examination, I felt that he needed to settle down and need a few more years of training, so he took the Juren Examination again when he was older.
All these situations exist. The only thing that can be said is that Gong Jian is definitely the youngest in this session, and the others are much older than him. Like himself, Wang Xiucai is twenty-five years old this year to participate.
Those who take the Juren Examination are already considered very young and promising.
But no matter how others laughed at Gong Jian in their hearts, Wang Xiucai did not say anything bad about Gong Jian. Anyway, when you go to the examination room for the Juren Examination, everyone is looking at the examination paper that you handed in. The examiners will not care about your age.
Geometry, I can't see what you look like. Anyway, after your name is sealed on the examination paper, the examiners will only read the content on the examination paper.
Therefore, Wang Xiucai has always felt that there is no need to ridicule Gong Jian like others. Young people should be encouraged to have ambitions. After the red list of results is posted, don't those who have ridiculed and made fun of Gong Jian feel hurt? Wang
The scholar found that these people didn't seem to realize this at all. Instead, they changed their faces and said with a smile that they wanted to congratulate the young master.
Seeing the faces of these people, Wang Xiucai thought that he could not do this. Seeing a rising star surpass himself so intuitively, Wang Xiucai also had some complicated emotions in his heart. So when another scholar proposed to leave the province early,
When he returned to Xiangxian County, Wang Xiucai immediately agreed.
When it comes to Gong Jian, in fact, not only the Wang scholar, but also other scholars have a good impression of Gong Jian. After all, after the exam, during several parties, Gong Jian and the two of them also had a good impression.
Have had many contacts.
At that time, the two of them had already realized that the young man in front of them had different reactions. Gong Jian did not have the impetuousness of young people. Instead, he was calm and seemed to be beyond his age, and his knowledge was very solid.
Whatever they mentioned, Gong Jian was able to answer fluently. Even for some remote knowledge that they didn't know clearly or only had a partial understanding of, Gong Jian was able to speak it out very clearly and explain it clearly to them.
In fact, after several literary meetings, Wang Xiucai and the scholar had a vague hunch that the young man in front of them was definitely not like what those people ridiculed and discussed. He was just here to join in the fun. He was.
He has real talents and knowledge, and his character is also very good, stable and down-to-earth, not like ordinary young people at all.
At that time, the two of them also privately speculated on the chances of Gong Jian becoming the youngest person to be elected. Although both of them felt that the possibility of Gong Jian winning the exam was very high, on the day of the results, the two
It is inevitable that people will feel a little sad and unable to accept it.
Thinking about it now, after looking at the list, the two of them left in such a dejected manner without even saying hello to Gong Jian. It was indeed rude. After all, the three of them had met several times at the cultural conference, so they were somewhat
We have become friends, so due to the short time, we can't be called friends, but we are more familiar than ordinary people.
Thinking of what he had done before, walking away without saying hello, Wang Xiucai certainly felt a little ashamed now. If he met Gong Jian again in the county town, he decided to make amends and admit his mistakes.
, had a good exchange with Gong Jian, and he felt that this young man was still worth making friends with.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiucai immediately said: "Where does that Gong Jian you just mentioned live? If I have a chance, I will definitely visit him. I just don't know if he has anything to do in the county. If I went to visit these two days ago,
