Feudal scholar-bureaucrats reborn: marrying a husband and marrying a virtuous

Naturally, Lin Fangxu didn't know that in his last life, he was right. There are many talents in the world. Even without Lin Fangxu, he didn't get the first place in the exam in his previous life. It can be seen that Dong Fuzun is still very self-aware.

Lin Fangxu didn't know where the Shen Mao brothers lived, but it was not difficult to find them. If you go to the Zhejiang Guild Hall, you can always meet them.

Jiang Shiwu took the three of them to Gongyuanqian Street, pointed to the front, and said, "Look, the Zhejiang Headquarters is in front of you. Go in by yourself. It's a place where literati gather. I, an old man, won't occupy the space." gone."

Without Xiaoyun by his side, Jiang Shiwu has a natural rejection of literati and the place where literati stay. The sentence he hates the most is "a scholar meets a soldier, and he can't explain why." Is this saying that soldiers are unreasonable or what land?Compared with those literati who are eloquent and embrace the United Party, they are the disadvantaged groups who serve as soldiers.

When Lin Fangxu and the others saw him finish speaking, they ran away like a dog chasing after him. Shang Tan shook his head helplessly and said, "Xiao Wu and uncle are really similar, as if they were born to have a grudge against scholars."

Lin Fangxu thought to himself, "What kind of enmity can Marquis Wu'an have with scholars?"Those who came over from the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​fire would not care about that, they were just putting on a show. '

Xu Zhongkang pointed to the entrance of the guild hall, and said with a smile: "Hey..., isn't that Brother Shen and the others?!"

Lin Fangxu looked up and saw Brother Shen Mao approaching surrounded by a group of people. Seeing them, Shen Mao said happily: "Finally, I see the three of you. If you don't come again, we are going to go to Wu'an Hou Mansion to find you."

Another Hangzhou interjected in the same year: "The five sons of Hangzhou are finally gathered."

"Yes, when the time comes, let those Zibei people see the demeanor of our Zhejiang literati."

"Those northerners are too arrogant. They are not the only ones in the capital who have the four great talents."

After Lin Fangxu finished listening, he asked curiously: "We came here in a hurry after finishing some private matters. Hearing what Darong means, did we miss something interesting?"

Shen Jing folded his hands, and said in a cool tone: "You have indeed missed a lot of things, it's not certain if it's interesting, let's go, let's go to the guild hall and talk about it in detail."

In the Lun Dao Hall of the Zhejiang Guild Hall, Lin Fangxu and five people sat in the middle, surrounded by a circle of Zhejiang Juren, most of whom were new candidates who had passed the provincial examination last year, and those who had taken the examination twice or more were generally relatively low-key.

When Shen Mao and the others arrived about the same, they opened their mouths and said, "Dong Sheng, you should know that the major guild halls will compare the number and ranking of Jinshi in which province in the annual examination, and the Ministry of Rites will use this as a guide for each guild hall Ranking, the guild halls ranked in the top five will have many rewards."

Lin Fangxu replied: "I have indeed heard of it. This year's test has not yet started. I think the major guild halls have already begun to compete in private."

Shen Mao sighed and said: "Hey..., the dispute over the guild hall, to put it bluntly, is still a dispute over regional writing styles. During the Hongwu years, Zhejiang has always been the champion, but since the 12th year of Hongwu, Mr. Dong Ge wrote a letter, allowing Taixue students to participate without going back to their ancestral home After the imperial examination, Beiping came from behind, surpassed Sichuan, Nanjing, and Fujian, and came in second, posing as a rival to Zhejiang.”

You Tongnian couldn't hold back, and said disdainfully: "How can Beiping have this ability? It's not the credit of the Taixue to get the second place, but every time in the big exam, half of the Taixue students who do well in the exam are also from Jiangnan and other places. .”

Another sighed in the same year: "If these Jiangnan students go back to their ancestral home to take the exam, how much do you think they can get in Peking?"

Lin Fangxu laughed and said, "It's a pity that most of the Tai students who are originally from Jiangnan are unwilling to go back for the exam."

Everyone thought about how hard it was for them to pass five trials and kill six generals when they took part in the provincial examination, and they thought with sympathy: "Yes...it's me, and I don't want to go back." '

This is like now, if a senior high school student in Zhejiang or Jiangsu has the opportunity to transfer his student status to Beijing, take the college entrance examination in Beijing, and fill in volunteers in Beijing, would you be willing?It is estimated that everyone can have an answer to this question without thinking.

Lin Fangxu

I thought to myself, "When Mr. Dong Ge first wrote the letter, he was obviously looking for students from the south. After all, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where there is a little surplus at home, will send Erlang to study and study literature. There are only about a hundred places for candidates every year, and the competition is too fierce.When Dong Gelao first wrote the letter, he was strongly opposed by the northern officials of Kong Gelao’s faction. I don’t know whether the late emperor was too disappointed with the northern style of writing; or he wanted to divide the various aristocratic families in the south; The place where the emperor sits must be a place of economic and cultural rejuvenation, and finally suppressed the northern officials and passed the letter of Dong Gelao. '

Shen Jing saw that everyone's topics were getting farther and farther away, and reminded: "Everyone, although Zhejiang has always been ranked first, but in recent years, Taixue has also produced many outstanding talents. At the literary meeting held by the Beijing Normal University yesterday, The four great talents in the capital have even announced that they will come to the Zhejiang Guild Hall for advice, and their arenas are all set up in front of their houses, so don't be careless."

Xu Zhongkang is a person who likes to watch the excitement at heart. At this time, he asked with great interest: "Oh, really? Who are the four great talents in the capital? When will they come?"

Shen Mao said with a smile: "Zijian's question is interesting, it seems that he is eager for someone to come, it should be tomorrow, when the Zhejiang Guild Hall holds a literary conference."

Shang Tan continued: "I've heard of the four great talents in the capital. They are all students of the Taixue. The first is Dong Kun, the grandson of Dong Ge, followed by Kong Jie, the grandson of Kong Ge, and Su Zhao of Meizhou, Sichuan. , Jiangxi Ji'an Wen Tianfeng, it is said that they are all people with outstanding literary talents, and they have a good reputation in the capital."

Xu Zhongkang said indifferently: "Cut..., in the end, you still want to see the truth under the pen and ink. What's the use of having a great reputation?"

He started it, and then someone coaxed and answered: "That's right, I'll write an article about whether it's good or not, and I'll know after comparing it."

"Besides, they have the four great talents in the capital, but we also have the five talents in Hangzhou in Zhejiang."

Shang Tan hurriedly said humbly: "Everyone is overwhelmed. This is a matter for the entire Zhejiang Guild Hall. The five of us cannot represent the entire Zhejiang students. We still need to deal with it together."

Of course, everyone should deal with it together, but the game is divided into main attack and support. Since the opponent is the four major talents as the main force, they of course hope that Hangzhou Five can be the leader. Shang Tan's modesty makes others do not know how to answer. , looking at Lin Fangxu, the head of the Hangzhou five sons, in silence for a moment.

Lin Fangxu raised his eyebrows, living up to expectations, and said with a snort, "It doesn't matter whether he is a top four talent or a top five talent. Now that he has won the challenge, let's continue. Besides, Zhejiang has always been the first in the trials in previous years. We can't let others Make fun of my lack of talent."

Xu Zhongkang said excitedly: "That is, we will open the door and wait for them tomorrow, and let those people see the cultural heritage of Zhejiang."

With Lin Fangxu starting, the others seemed to have found their backbone, and a group of people gathered together again, discussing how to deal with it tomorrow.

But their opponents seem to be less harmonious. The capital guild hall is divided into several factions. Kong Jie leads the northern candidates. Dong Kun is naturally the leader of the Jiangnan candidates. Sichuan and Yunnan candidates are headed by Su Zhao, Fujian and Guangdong Wait for the candidates to follow the lead of the horse with Wen Tian.

Although a group of people would not be at war, they still had their own ideas. Kong Jie said impatiently: "Okay, okay, then the Hanlin must come up with the question. If there is anything to discuss now, I can answer it as usual .”

Dong Kun said with a gentle smile, "That's not the case. Last year's Zhejiang Provincial Examination, the top five leaders were said to be very good. They are known as the five sons of Hangzhou, so you can't be careless."

Wen Tianfeng, who had nothing to do with himself from the beginning to the end, said curiously at this time: "Oh, which five people are they? My uncle once worked in Zhejiang. I am afraid that he can only be the last one in the provincial examination, and he also copied the essays of the provincial examination for his subordinates to study, which is really amazing. This person who can make a name for himself in the literary world of Hangzhou is really admirable."

Su Zhao was handsome, with a Sichuan accent, and said jokingly, "Brother Wen is trying to boost other people's ambitions and destroy his own prestige. Brother Dong hasn't said which five they are."

Dong Kun's ancestral home is Suzhou, and he also belonged to Zhejiang in the previous dynasty. In the early years of Hongwu, he was transferred to Nanjing. He is half a Zhejiang native.

After listening to Su Zhao's words, he quickly put aside those inexplicable emotions and replied: "The fifth place is Xu Zhongkang, the nephew of Mr. Xu, who is a Tixue in Hubei Province. The third and third The fourth is Shen Jing and Shen Mao from the Shen family in Jinhua, who are second in line, but they are Shang Tan, the grandson of Mr. Zhongyan, the former Minister of the Ministry of War."

Su Zhao exclaimed: "Hey... that lord is the number one in Wei, the one who ranks among the three princes, please tell me who is the number one and how talented he is to win against the merchants. .”

Dong Kun pretended to be mysterious and said: "No. 1 is called Lin Fangxu, and its background is not simple. The ancestor is famous in history, Lin Yushi, who played the Dengwen Drum, Lin Fangxu is his direct descendant, and he is also Xie Yuanlang of Hangzhou Township Examination."

Wen Tianfeng exclaimed: "I didn't expect that the top few in the Hangzhou provincial examination all come from extraordinary backgrounds."

Kong Jie watched the three of them start discussing the grandfather and ancestors of Lin Fangxu and the others, and left bored on his own, followed by two northern students.

One of them said worriedly: "Senior Brother Kong, I never thought that the family backgrounds of those in Zhejiang are so simple."

Kong Jie sneered and said, "Hmph... Sure enough, after listening to Dong Kun's words, you all only pay attention to other people's family backgrounds. This is Dong Kun's shameless place, belittling opponents at all costs."

The other man was tall, with rough features, and he looked like a northerner at first glance. He pondered: "Thinking about it now, it is indeed the case. After hearing Dong Kun's words, it seems that people can get the first and second because of the glory of their ancestors."

Kong Jie, who was a scholar, looked like a bastard, and said: "Hum..., let's not talk about Shang Tan, Lin Yushi was killed in the Meridian Gate before the dynasty, and the Lin family has not been able to enter the examination room for several generations. What kind of shadow is there? Lin Fangxu was able to get Hangzhou Jieyuan. It can only be said that he is very talented. Dong Kun has always regarded Huiyuan as his personal property. This time, he may be in a hurry, but the Dong family has always been like this, and the young master can bear the reputation of being domineering. , isn’t it also thanks to them.”

The other two rolled their eyes in unison, thinking, "This is not only thanks to the Dong family, but also to you." '
