Chapter 188 The article is well written
"Duke Zheng's Mansion." Feng Yuanhao reported faintly.
"What? Why?" Xie Wenyuan couldn't figure it out.
"I guess he gave your test paper to someone he wanted to give it to. As for who it is, I don't know for the time being." Feng Yuanhao couldn't say it before getting definite evidence.
"What should I do now?" Xie Wenyuan was not stupid, he understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.
"You live in my house first, and don't show up. I will have someone bring you food on time. Leave everything to me."
"Thank you, Yuanhao." Xie Wenyuan was deeply moved, and gradually stopped crying and put away his sadness.
"We are friends." Feng Yuanhao patted him again.
The death of the three poor students did not cause much disturbance in the capital. Every year, students died for various reasons. This was a common thing.
Some students were in poor health and died right after leaving the examination room.
Some students suddenly relaxed and suffered from various diseases and died.
After a few days, it was time for rest. Feng Yuanhao took the essay that the two of them had memorized to find Wu Manjiang.
Because Wu Manjiang was Feng Yuanhao's teacher, he did not participate in this joint examination.
"Yuanhao, are you here to see me? Now that the joint examination is over, when are we going to go out of town to play? It's spring now, just the right time to go outing, take sister Feng with you." Wu Yueqin was very enthusiastic when he saw Feng Yuanhao coming.
"Have you ever thought that I would pass the imperial examination and have the opportunity to participate in the palace examination?" Feng Yuanhao was a little amused.
This guy only knows how to play. They
are already engaged.
"I think it's amazing that you can get into Juren, but I didn't expect your goal to be so far." Wu Yueqin really didn't think Feng Yuanhao could get into high school this time.
He has only been in school for a few years.
"Okay, I'm here to find the teacher. Take me there." Feng Yuanhao walked up and took him to Wu Manjiang's study.
Wu Manjiang had a rare break and was writing and painting in the study.
"Student greets the teacher." Feng Yuanhao saluted respectfully.
"Well, Yuanhao is here." Wu Manjiang wrote the last stroke, then picked it up, blew it, and put it aside.
He wrote the four words "God rewards hard work."
"The teacher's calligraphy is majestic and powerful, a rare masterpiece." Feng Yuanhao looked at the calligraphy and paintings that had been hung up and praised sincerely.
"Haha, you kid, you have learned to flatter at such a young age."
"Grandfather, I agree with what Yuanhao said, it is true, but I am not very good at writing, and I don't know how to express and describe it." Wu Yueqin jumped out to object.
"Okay, the person has been brought here. Why don't you get out?" Wu Manjiang knew this grandson very well.
"Hehe, get out now, get out now." With Feng Yuanhao around, he was not afraid of his grandfather's serious face.
"The imperial examination has been over for a few days, and you just came today. I thought you would come to see me as soon as you finished the exam." Wu Manjiang said with a smile while looking at Feng Yuanhao.
"I was busy these past two days and was late. Teacher, I have memorized the policy essays for my test paper. I and a friend who is taking the test with me have also memorized it. Today, I brought them here for you to take a look."
Feng Yuanhao took out a stack of papers from his arms.
Wu Manjiang took it, then sat down and looked at it carefully.
He stroked his beard, frowned, nodded and smiled.
Feng Yuanhao couldn't tell from the teacher's expression whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied. He
was very nervous.
He took this test very seriously.
He always remembered that his sister wanted to be the top scorer, and his second brother had already won the top scorer in martial arts, and now he was waiting for him to win the top scorer in literature.
Three quarters of an hour later, Wu Manjiang finally raised his head from his article.
"Well, although your articles are a little immature, they are well written overall, with clear viewpoints and grasp of the main points. The analysis and solution of the problem are very targeted. Considering your age, you two can write such in-depth articles, which is considered to be top-notch."
Wu Manjiang commented very objectively.
"Thank you for your approval, teacher. Does it mean that we have a great chance of passing the imperial examination with such answers?" This is what Feng Yuanhao wanted to know most, and it was also the purpose of his coming here today.
"Based on my previous experience in presiding over the examination of papers, I think you can make it into the top ten. It all depends on how the examiners view your answer. You know, it also depends on the examiners' attitude. But you can rest assured that a good answer sheet will stand out."
Wu Manjiang was very optimistic about Feng Yuanhao. In the past few months, he had personally instructed him and taught him a lot about people's livelihood issues and the principles of politics.
"Teacher, can I have a word with you?" Feng Yuanhao stood up and walked to Wu Manjiang's side, whispering.
Although there were only the two of them in the study, Feng Yuanhao knew that there were secret guards and two servants guarding the door.
Wu Manjiang saw Feng Yuanhao's serious expression and knew that he had something important to do.
"Everyone, leave." Wu Manjiang's voice was a little louder, and Feng Yuanhao heard the two people leaving outside, and the secret guards also moved away.
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"Teacher, I want to ask you for a favor."
Then, Feng Yuanhao and Wu Manjiang talked secretly in the study for half an hour before leaving. After
the examination, the examiners began to mark the papers intensively. Each candidate's paper must be reviewed by three people before the score is determined.
The purpose is to avoid the examiners' subjective judgment as much as possible.
This effectively guarantees the interests of the candidates.
Yanyan has adopted this method since the founding of the country.
On this day, Wu Manjiang was kept in the study by the emperor to discuss matters. After
the business was discussed, they talked about family matters.
"My dear Lord Wu, I remember that Prince Feng has taken you as his teacher. How did he do in the exam this time? Did I tell you about it?" Yun Hongxiao has been thinking about the little girl Feng Tianxing recently.
Thinking about her makes him think about the Feng family.
Feng Yuanhan is the top martial arts champion, and Feng Yuanhao is taking the imperial examination. I don't know what kind of achievements he will achieve in the end.
He wanted to confer the status of a princess on Feng Tianxing, but Feng Zuwen, the father, disagreed. He said he wanted to keep a low profile.
Unless one day the Flame Kingdom becomes the leader of the four kingdoms and no one can bully them, he has no objection to his daughter being named a princess.
"Your Majesty, he memorized the policy essay he wrote. And a friend who took the exam with him also memorized it and showed it to me. It is indeed good." Wu Manjiang said with a smile.
Of course, one has to brag about his own students and leave a good impression in front of the emperor in advance.
"Oh? To get a compliment from the prime minister of a country, it shows that he is really good."
"Your Majesty, I just happened to have it with me, would you like to take a look?" Wu Manjiang took advantage of the opportunity.
Yun Hongxiao glanced at Wu Manjiang a few times.
Such a coincidence? There must be a deep meaning.
But he still took it and read it.
Yun Hongxiao had to read a lot of memorials every day, and he read very quickly. He finished reading Feng Yuanhao's in just a quarter of an hour. Because his name was written on it.
He nodded repeatedly after reading it.
"Not bad, not bad, your student's writing style has some of your influence, but Yuan Aiqing also taught him a lot. This kid can grow to such a level in such a short time, you teachers must have put in a lot of effort, right?"
"Yes, it is also inseparable from his own efforts. Your Majesty, would you like to take a look at another one?" Wu Manjiang reminded.
Yun Hongxiao spent the same amount of time reading another one.
"This student is very pragmatic, he should be a student from a poor family. Xie Wenyuan, well, his name is also very ambitious. I need such talents in Yanyan. Both of them write well, they should be among the best."
Wu Manjiang smiled but said nothing.
"Why?" Yun Hongxiao knew from the look on his father-in-law's face that he must have something to say.
"Your Majesty, please remember the name of this candidate, Xie Wenyuan." Wu Manjiang said this and stood up. "It's almost time. I have to go teach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I'll take my leave."
