Chapter 168 Teacher-Student Love

  Fang Jifan dressed properly and went out.

  When I got to the door, I saw that the door of Fang\'s house was already wide open.

  Guard Yang got up very early today.

These five scholars are all disciples of the young master. It is unrealistic to expect the young master to tell them about entering the palace for a test. The ink, paper and inkstone must be prepared. After entering the palace, it is impossible for the emperor to keep them. So they have to prepare some steamed cakes to save them from starving.

  Besides, people have to prepare warm water early in the morning. If you want to enter the palace, you have to take a bath early in the morning. Even the Confucian fir and Lun towels have to be newly cut.

Although most of the time, the so-called palace examination, the entrance examination, is the emperor\'s question, and the emperor may not show up, but the current emperor is different. Since Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, he has not failed the palace examination several times, and he is in the palace every time. , sat and waited for the examinees to hand in their papers before leaving.

   Therefore, the first impression they give His Majesty is extremely important.

  Of course, the sedan chairs had to be prepared. Before the fifth watch, the bearers had to be woken up, fed, and refreshed before carrying the tribute students into the palace.

  Five tribute students, lined up one by one, everything is ready, and they are waiting to say goodbye to their mentor.

   Steward Yang seemed a little anxious. Although it was still early, he kept looking at the sky, for fear that the young master might make a mistake.

   Finally, seeing the young master coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face: "Master, the young masters are all waiting for the young master..."

   "Understood." Fang Jifan nodded, and quickly walked in front of Tang Yin and the other five.

  Tang Yin and the others took a deep look at Fang Jifan.

  They and their teacher are still very affectionate.

  Without a mentor, the three of Ouyang Zhi knew that they were probably just a little scholar, and that they might lose their reputation at the beginning, so they returned to their hometown in Baoding Prefecture, obediently continued to study hard, and prepared for the next provincial examination.

  And if there is no mentor, Tang Yin and Xu Jing, I am afraid that they will not know whether they are dead or alive.

  During these long days, they were all running in with Fang Jifan. At first, they must have been uncomfortable, but gradually, in their world, they got used to having such a respectable elder.

  The five of them prostrated themselves together, and performed the teacher\'s salute silently on the bluestone slab in front of the gate.

Today, this wealth and glory are within reach. In such an early morning, seeing that after an exam, the five of them are about to have their own great future. Thinking of the past, thinking of the usual teachings of the teacher, and the beatings of the teacher, the five of them Deep in one\'s heart, a feeling of emotion welled up in one\'s heart.

  No matter how the mentor treats them, beating or scolding, they all firmly believe that the mentor is good to them, and everything will be for their own sake, so their eyes were blurred by inexplicable tears.

  Compared to their feelings, Fang Jifan looked at them with a smile and said, "Take the exam well. After the exam, I invite you to eat chicken."

   "Teacher..." Tang Yin sobbed and choked up, "Students would like to follow the teachings of the teacher."

  Fang Jifan nodded and looked at Jiang Chen: "Although you will try to lose your teacher, but...forget it, this is all in the past."

  Jiang Chen felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He had already been recited countless times because of a stumble in front of the examinee, so he gritted his teeth and said, "This disciple is at the bottom of the boat. If you don\'t have the ability to fight for the top, you will never see your mentor again."

  Fang Jifan waved lightly: "Go."

   I hate this kind of scene the most.

   Looking at the red eyes of the five people, it seemed as if they were going to the execution ground.

   In other words, why are they so easily moved, so that they almost want to shed tears along with them.

  But...can\'t cry.

   Crying, the avatar collapses.

  So, it’s better to seldom see such touching scenes.

  The five people stood up, lifted their kaolan, and saw that their teacher had turned his back on his back, bypassed the screen wall of the Fang family, and disappeared, so they each took a deep breath, got into the sedan chair, and set off!

  …

  After a stick of incense.

  A sedan chair from Wang\'s family passed by Fang\'s family slowly.

  The sedan chair curtain was lifted, revealing Wang Shouren\'s face. Wang Shouren glanced at the Fang family\'s mansion in a daze, thoughtfully, and suddenly said to the bearer, "Stop here for a while."

  The bearer stopped and the sedan chair fell.

Wang Shouren got off the sedan chair, looked at the Fang family\'s mansion, and wanted to take a few steps forward to inform the concierge, but he only took one step, but stopped again. After hesitating for a while, this young and mature face turned around again. Turned around and got on the sedan chair: "Let\'s go."

  The sedan chair got up and wandered off into the distance.

  Wang Shouren sat in the sedan chair and sighed faintly. Then, his eyes became clear again, and a sense of competitiveness arose spontaneously from the bottom of his heart.

  His competitive spirit did not come from gambling.

  After all...he\'s not interested in gambling.

Didn\'t he know the rumors outside, the gambling house has already opened, and he is the most popular person to see who can win the first place in the imperial examination. Of course, those disciples of Fang Jifan have a lot of advantages, but many people, but Still pinning his hopes on himself, thinking that he came from a famous family, and after this famous family, policy theory has a great advantage.

Deep down in Wang Shouren\'s heart, he didn\'t look down on Shang Jifan\'s disciples very much. Although stereotypes were good, but after being in contact with Ouyang Zhi and the other three for a long time, he always felt that they were always slower than others when they spoke and acted. , that feeling, squirming, like a marionette.

  Xu Jing\'s mind is too active. He belongs to the kind of person who will come up with things and is full of thoughts on drilling. This kind of person is not good at academics.

  Tang Yin...I heard that Fang Jifan caught him painting every day.

   Well, these people are not worth mentioning. This time, I will be the first.

   When the sedan chair arrived outside the palace, it was time to walk.

  At this time, the examinees had already gathered, waiting for the Meridian Gate to open. Xu Jing stood with a few seniors. When he saw Wang Shouren, he reached out to greet him: "Brother Wang, Brother Wang, come here."

  Wang Shouren leaned forward, and the five of them stood together.

  As soon as the gate of the palace opened, all the tribute fish entered the palace.

  There are nearly 300 Gongsheng students in this subject. The top three, namely the number one scholar, the second place in the list and Tanhua, are awarded Jinshi and rank; The word "same" actually means "different". "Co-jinshi" is really embarrassing: it seems that when someone is hungry, someone else serves a good meal, but suddenly finds a blue-headed fly sticking to the plate. For the sake of the stomach, I have to stretch out my chopsticks; It\'s hard. Therefore, those with a little self-respect and self-love will regard "being born as a Jinshi" as an unspeakable secret that cannot be washed away.

  Of course, even if he was born as a Jinshi, for countless people, it is an existence that cannot be expected.

  Every Gongsheng student is gearing up now, and they don’t want to be awarded the same Jinshi, because what is related here is not only a matter of status, but also a matter of future.

  All the people filed in a file, passed through the opening of the Meridian Gate, and under the leadership of the eunuch, they arrived at the Hall of Preserving Harmony.

In the Hall of Preserving Harmony, Emperor Hongzhi was already sitting here. Besides, the two groups of Hanlin officials stood on both sides. They looked at the "late-born and underachievers" who filed in, and they probably remembered their thoughts. I can\'t help feeling sorry for the glory I had when I entered the palace to ask questions.

  Emperor Hongzhi didn\'t say a word. According to etiquette, he should be silent now.

   Immediately afterwards, an **** stood up and called the candidates, and then the candidates praised and saluted.

  Some nervous Gongsheng came to the Hall of Preserving Harmony, their bodies began to tremble, their heads were lowered, and their minds went blank even when they saluted.

   It was the performance of the three of Ouyang Zhi, especially brilliant.

  From the beginning to the end, their faces were all stiff, and they looked like they had never seen such a big storm. After the ceremony, Emperor Hongzhi stared at the candidates in the palace and smiled slightly: "Let\'s all get flat."

  The crowd cheered up, and many people lowered their heads, their faces turning blue.

  Emperor Hongzhi suddenly smiled: "Where is Ouyang Zhi, the head of this department?"

  The reason why he thinks of Ouyang Zhi is because this Ouyang Zhi is a legend. It is said that he was just a failed scholar in Baoding Prefecture. There is nothing surprising about it, but since Fang Jifan trained him, a native chicken has instantly turned into a phoenix.

  This is inevitable, which aroused the curiosity of Emperor Hongzhi.

  This person...what does he look like.

  Ouyang Zhi stood up slowly and saluted: "The minister is here."

  With a calm face, an honest and honest face, he continued to speak, although his tone was twitchy, but when he came to the imperial court, there was no trepidation in the slightest.

  Compared to other candidates with unnatural expressions, he looked much more \'stable\'.

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded secretly. This man is quite magnanimous, and he has a bit of calm demeanor in times of crisis.

  Through several palace examinations in recent years, I have seen a lot of Gongsheng who are terrified. If he is sung by the emperor, the panic he showed when he plays the song is even more obvious, and there are many jokes.

   And Ouyang Zhi\'s performance really made Emperor Hongzhi nod secretly, yes, very good.

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Qing is the leader of the current science department, the palace exam...take it hard."

   Encouraged by the emperor, anyone should be emotional at this moment, blushing, excited or at a loss.

   But Ouyang Zhi was even more calm, and he saluted again. Although his reaction was a bit slow, he said calmly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kind words."

   Not bad, really good.

  Haha...Fang Jifan is really capable.

   Beat it out?

  Emperor Hongzhi thought of the prince, that guy is always alive and kicking, if he is as stable as Mount Tai like this Ouyang Zhi, it would be great, this is what he looks like.

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded his head, and gave Wang Ao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, a wink. Wang Ao understood, and said seriously: "Disassemble the papers and issue policy questions!"

   With an order, the eunuchs who had been outside the hall filed in one after another, each holding a scroll in their hand, and placed them in the Baohe Hall on more than 300 pieces of documents.
