Chapter 113 Sooner or later, you will be beaten by society
Everyone was working hard, especially Gu Zilu, because he had to prepare for the county exam first.
The so-called county examination is the county examination, which is the so-called preliminary examination. The prefectural examination is also called the prefectural examination, which is the re-examination. Finally, one can take part in the academy examination presided over by the academician, and only then can one be considered passed. Only after passing these can one continue to take part in the provincial examination, metropolitan examination, and palace examination.
As promised, he would pass the exam with six yuan, and he had to take the exams one level at a time.
When Emperor Gaozu founded the country, he set the rules that the provincial examinations, metropolitan examinations, and palace examinations were held once a year, while the county examinations were held in February and July of each year. If you couldn't make it in February, you could still try to make it in July.
Gu Zilu fulfilled his promise conscientiously. Tian Erniu was sweeping his yard diligently. She could see Gu Zilu studying hard through the window. After watching for a long time, she was finally sure that the young man who slept on the same kang with her was actually the son of her boss.
Ah, sleeping on the same kang? ?
Tian Erniu's face turned red and she quickly lowered her head to continue working.
That's the master! What is she thinking about? It's so dirty! !
So she turned around and quickly sprinkled water in the yard, thinking that this would bring some cool air and make it cooler for Lu Ge'er to study.
Her life was saved by Lu Ge'er, who is a great benefactor to their family.
Tian Erniu worked harder and harder. Her father and mother were also assigned to work in the yard. Tian Laosan usually did odd jobs, such as moving things to Lu Ge'er's yard. Tian Laosan's wife did laundry, and she was responsible for Lu Ge'er's clothes, shoes and socks.
The family moved from the farm to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, and their quality of life improved by more than one level. Now people in the farm are full of envy when they mention Tian Laosan's family, and they all say that this family is blessed. Suddenly, they were noticed by their boss and brought directly to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion to work.
But they didn't know that the fair and tender boy taken in by Tian Laosan's family at that time was the son of their employer.
Gu Zilu handled these small details very well. For some things, doing them secretly would be more effective and less troublesome than doing them openly.
The young man became more at ease and worked hard.
An imperial edict issued in the capital also shocked scholars all over the world.
With the addition of the joint examination and the palace examination, many students had to set off early and rush to the capital from all over the world.
Of course, there are some people who have already set out on the journey, originally wanting to travel and have fun along the way. Now they can only hurry up and try to go to Beijing as soon as possible. However, there are also people who are not in a hurry and are waiting for the joint examination and the palace examination in the spring of next year.
"What? To hold an additional examination?"
The teachers in the academy were also shocked when they heard this.
"Wouldn't it be that after the provincial examination, we would go straight to the imperial examination?"
"Doesn't that mean we can't catch up?"
"It's just an additional exam. The exam in February next year will not be cancelled."
Everyone was talking about it, and no one knew what the emperor meant by doing this.
"Is it really because I dreamed about the admonitions of Emperor Gaozu?"
"Will there be a great talent this year? I'm looking forward to it, but I don't know who that great talent will be."
The teachers were discussing, and naturally the students below were also discussing it.
Ma Guang and his men looked directly at Gu Ziyun, and then said to Yin Zhengnan: "It must be our Gu Ziyun!"
Yin Zhengnan sneered: "That's not necessarily true."
Ma Guang angrily said, "It can't be you, right?"
Yin Zhengnan chuckled and pointed at Xie Huaiguang who was calmly flipping through a book: "There's still a great talent who hasn't spoken yet. What do you have to be so proud of, you second-in-command for a thousand years?"
The second in a thousand years???
Ma Guang and the others felt very angry, but they couldn't open their mouths to argue. With Xie Huaiguang suppressing them, wouldn't they be the runner-up for the rest of the year?
Everyone was upset, but the two parties involved didn't react at all.
Xie Huaiguang was flipping through some books with a calm look on his face, as if the newly added imperial examination had nothing to do with him. However, Gu Ziyun was studying like crazy, as he felt that he had a good chance of becoming a great talent this year.
That would really make you famous.
However, no one had ever thought about why the emperor wanted to hold this additional examination, and of course no one could have imagined what the questions would be for this year's palace examination.
“Bang!”
Gu Ziyun closed the book, stood up and walked out.
Ma Guang and his men followed him and asked, "Brother Ziyun, where are you going?"
Gu Ziyun waved his hand: "I'm going to find the teacher and will be back soon."
The teacher asked him to wait a few years before taking the imperial examination, but he couldn't wait any longer. This year the emperor added a new imperial examination and said that it could discover great talents. Isn't this a once-in-a-millennium opportunity?
No, he must participate in this year's scientific examination!
"You are going to take part in the autumn examination?"
The master pinched his beard and looked Gu Ziyun up and down.
The young man insisted: "Yes, Master, please grant me your blessing."
Wait two years? No, this year's examination is the best opportunity. If you miss it, you don't know when you will have another chance.
The teacher sighed and said, "Ziyun, I didn't mean to stop you from going, but your grades are really unstable, sometimes high and sometimes low, especially in class, where you always fail to do well on the essays that need to be done in class, but you can hand in the best essays when you go back home, even if you spend a few more days doing it."
"So, I think it's because you're young and your mind is unstable that you need to spend a few days to calm down before you can do your best. The imperial examination is not a joke. Even if you fail this time, you can still take it next year. But failing once, twice, and every time is too much of a blow to a person. You're young and your mind can't bear it."
The teacher also didn't want to see a good seedling being tempered because of poor performance in the examination, because he had been teaching for so many years and had seen some supernatural powers. When one was a child, he thought that he could reach the sky if he memorized a few more articles. But after an examination, if he failed, he would definitely be hit hard. Although he could try again, if he failed the second year and the third year again, he would be devastated and would never recover, and would be unknown for the rest of his life.
The phrase "the more you face setbacks, the more courageous you become" does not apply to everyone.
How strong a heart must one have to keep failing and yet always be full of confidence?
The teacher also valued talent, so he couldn't help but say a few more words, especially in recent times, Gu Ziyun's grades have declined sharply, even failing to reach the usual average. Let alone the imperial examination, it would be difficult for him to even be on the list.
Faced with the teacher's worries, Gu Ziyun sneered in his heart.
Anyway, Gu Zilu is back. With him around, I'm not afraid of anything.
"Master, I still want to give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'm willing to wait a few more years."
Seeing Gu Ziyun's insistence, the master sighed and said, "Well, let's give it a try."
Go and give it a try, what if it really works? Gu Ziyun's performance has been inconsistent and there is no trace of it, what if he gets lucky this time?
Of course, it is also possible that it will be unfortunate, but it is hard to say.
"Thank you, Master!"
Gu Ziyun was overjoyed. He greeted the teacher and turned away. The teacher was left alone sighing, saying that children nowadays are disobedient.
Sooner or later, you will be beaten by society.
