Chapter 581
In the eyes of Qin Dewei, the chief examiner, Wen Zhengming and Gui Youguang are regarded as a strange couple of imperial examinations.

But in fact, the two are of different generations. Wen Zhengming's wife and Gui Youguang's grandmother are sisters.

Qin Dewei could understand that Wen Zhengming came over privately today.It is estimated that Wen Zhengming did not want to participate in tomorrow's apprenticeship ceremony, so he said hello in advance today.

But to Qin Dewei's surprise, Gui Youguang, Xie Yuan, also came here today.

As a "master", Qin Dewei didn't have any scruples, and asked directly: "Why did Gui Zhenchuan come here? Can't wait until tomorrow?"

The real meaning of this question is: Tomorrow is the date for the new imperial examination candidates to pay homage to their tutors. Are you Gui Youguang, like old man Wen, who dislikes my tutors for being young and doesn’t want to have an apprenticeship in public tomorrow?
In terms of age, Gui Youguang is ten years older than Qin Dewei, but this teacher-student program is not reasonable.

So Gui Youguang could only explain respectfully: "Mr. Heng Shan is old, and I was afraid that something might go wrong, so I accompanied Mr. Heng Shan to take care of him.

As for the ceremony of apprenticeship tomorrow, it will be done again, and it has nothing to do with accompanying Mr. Heng Shan today. "

It turned out that Teacher Qin's expression eased, and it was like a spring breeze in an instant.

If Gui Youguang, Jie Yuan, really dares to say that he doesn't want to participate in the ceremony of apprenticeship tomorrow, then he will not only fail the eighth test, but there will be no future in the future!
Feeling that the inexplicable oppression disappeared, Gui Youguang was relieved.As expected, Mr. Qin is just like the rumors, although he is young, he is not easy to be fooled.

I just accompanied Mr. Wen to visit in advance, which immediately aroused Teacher Qin's suspicion.

No wonder that Wang Fengyuan was only willing to help Mr. Wen to Taibai Tower, but he refused to follow Mr. Wen to the Qin Mansion, probably just to avoid being suspected by the Qin scholar.

Wen Zhengming, who was sitting next to him, was speechless. It's only been a few years, how did that funny elementary school student become so bureaucratic?

Wen Zhengming was about to complain a few words, or think of an allusion to Qin Dewei.But seeing Teacher Qin raised his hand again, he kindly greeted Gui Youguang and said:
"Zhenchuan, there are no outsiders here, so you don't need to stick to etiquette. Sit down, sit down and talk!"

Gui Youguang finally took his seat, but he still sat under Wen Zhengming.So Qin Dewei enthusiastically chatted with Gui Youguang across Wen Zhengming.

"Zhenchuan, I heard that your wife is dead? I also heard that you and his wife had a strong relationship?" Qin Dewei asked enthusiastically.

Gui Youguang: "."

Sure enough, just like the rumors, this teacher Qin's brain circuit is particularly different from ordinary people, making it unpredictable and difficult to parry.

Fortunately, Teacher Qin didn't hold on to this question. Thinking of a serious topic, he asked curiously across Wen Zhengming:

"I heard that Zhenchuan's prose and essays are excellent, and your words and sentences are especially touching?"

Gui Youguang also replied humbly through Wen Zhengming: "The teacher praised me absurdly, I can't afford such a compliment as a student."

Wen Zhengming turned his head to look at Qin Dewei on the left, and Gui Youguang on the right, and snorted coldly.

Qin Banqiao, you have not only become a bureaucrat, but you have also become liking the new and disliking the old, disliking the old and loving the young. When you meet new people, you ignore yourself as the old person.

So Mr. Wen began to work hard to participate in the conversation, and took the initiative to say to Qin Dewei:
"Gui Zhenchuan's prose is indeed the best in Suzhou, absolutely no less than Wang Shenzhong, Tang Shunzhi and others who are currently in the south of the Yangtze River. If you want to appreciate it, you can ask Gui Zhenchuan to write a short biography for you."

Qin Dewei: "."

Wen Zhengming, you old bastard is very bad!If you don't pay attention, you will be caught in it!
As a time traveler, of course I know that Gui Youguang's best writing subjects in his life are mourning, epitaphs and the like!
Who wants such a character composition!
So Qin Dewei laughed, put on airs of a teacher, and encouraged Gui Youguang:

"Don't worry, we'll wait until Zhenchuan's Beijing Grand Competition and the gold medal title! I'm confident!"

Gui Youguang felt the encouragement and blessings from the No. [-] scholar, and responded again and again.

Then Qin Dewei continued to say to Gui Youguang through Wen Zhengming: "But the way of literature is very useful, you must not let it go, and you must strive to improve."

Gui Youguang was surprised when he heard this sentence.

Because when the seniors of the imperial examinations encourage the underachievers, they say that the classics and righteousness are the right way, and poetry and literature are small skills, but Teacher Qin emphasizes the importance of literature so much.

Qin Dewei hinted seductively: "Today's people like literature, you know."

Gui Youguang trembled with excitement for a moment. Hearing Teacher Qin's meaning, could it be that he is planning to find an opportunity to recommend his article to the emperor?

This, this, this, is really the guiding light of life!

Anyway, it was just chatting, Qin Dewei gave another example: "Your Kunshan senior, Mr. Gu Weizhai, is known for his literature. In five years, he was promoted from the minister of the Ministry of Rites to the cabinet scholar!"

Mr. Gu Weizhai is Gu Dingchen, and Wen Zhengming next to him was a little puzzled when he heard the words. He heard that Gu Dingchen relied on Qing Ci. Can Qing Ci be regarded as literature?

Qin Dewei looked at the spirited Gui Youguang and smiled without saying a word.

What are the so-called green words?In essence, it is a prayer during the fasting ceremony, a request written by mortals to heaven.

What kind of green words are good green words?It is to be sincere and sincere, so as to achieve the purpose of moving heaven.

Emperor Jiajing was a great expert in this regard, and later became the first assistant Master Xia, because the ghostwriting of Qingci he found was too perfunctory and the writing was not sincere, so he was alienated by Emperor Jiajing.

But the words are sincere and touching, isn't this the strongest point recognized by Gui Youguang?
Therefore, Qin Dewei judged that Gui Youguang had great potential in Qing Ci, and he was very likely to be a good writer of Qing Ci.

How important such a talent is, as long as you understand the politics of the Jiajing Dynasty, you will not fail to understand.

It's just that in the original historical time and space, Gui Youguang's imperial examinations were too busy, and he had no chance to get close to Emperor Jiajing, so he didn't realize his possible talent for Qing Ci.

Regardless of the historical trajectory of this time and space, Qin Dewei has decided to discover this special talent.

It would be really funny if I was good at everything in Wenzhi and Wugong in the future, but I couldn't beat Yan Song just because Qingci was not as good as others.

The only thing that worries Qin Dewei is whether the great writer can let go of his airs and hold his nose to write green words that cannot be put on the table.

Wen Zhengming, who guessed something inside, was stunned. He had a premonition that Gui Youguang might be led astray by Qin Dewei, and ran wildly on another fork in the road.
Wen Zhengming thought and thought, and questioned Qin Dewei: "Are you serious? Why do you think it's a little outrageous?"

Then he said to Gui Youguang, "Calm down first."

Qin Dewei turned to Wen Zhengming and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, when I saw Mr. Heng Shan's name on the list, I was really saddened.

I can't help but think of the scene when I first met Mr. Heng Shan back then, as if I can vividly remember it.

I still remember that when I was young and ignorant, I casually recited two lines of poems, intending to present them to Mr. Hengshan."

Hearing this, Wen Zhengming almost jumped up from his chair. He still can't forget those two lines!

The mandarin ducks are powerless to play in the water, and the swallows can't get on the beam with mud in their mouths!
No matter which man is willing to be presented with such poems!He, Wen Zhengming, may not live for a few years, and he still wants to be famous after his death!

So Wen Zhengming said angrily: "Seven years ago, you Qin Dewei threatened me with this poem; seven years later, you are still threatening me with this poem!

But when you talk about it, there are always those two sentences. Does the whole poem really exist? "

Qin Dewei called the servants to bring pens and paper, and then he swiped the pen and handed the poem manuscript to Wen Zhengming.

And reminded: "Mr. Hengshan, you can read this gift poem for yourself. If it is leaked and let others know, don't blame me!"

Gui Youguang was very curious, and wanted to see it too, but was blocked by Wen Zhengming.

With Gui Youguang behind his back, Wen Zhengming quickly glanced at the manuscript, only to see that it reads:
"Sixty is the bridegroom, and the remaining flowers are brought into the bridal chamber. Gathering is like swallows in autumn, mandarin ducks are healthy and sick.

Playing in the water is completely weak, and I can't carry the mud on the beam.The Goddess's mind is troubled by the sky, and it is the rain and Gao Tang. "

Fog Grass!The majesty of Shiba is so terrifying!Wen Zhengming folded up the poem and stuffed it into his bosom.

Then he bid farewell to Qin Dewei without saying a word, turned and walked out.

Gui Youguang hurriedly said goodbye and followed Wen Zhengming out.

When the two walked outside, Wen Zhengming sighed to Gui Youguang: "Qin Banqiao may take you to see scenery that even I have never seen before, but the fortune and misfortune are unknown."

After saying this, Wen Zhengming fell silent again, just thinking about it along the way.

Back at the apartment, Gui Youguang couldn't help asking curiously: "Mr. Hengshan, what are you thinking?"

For some reason, Wen Zhengming fell into nostalgia for the past, as if talking to himself:
"Back then, among the Four Scholars in Wuzhong, I, Wen Hengshan, was fairly indifferent, but Tang Liuru and Zhu Zhishan were different.

In fact, these two people are very ambitious for fame and fortune, and the inner part of their carelessness and indulgence is a sad song of depression and self-satisfaction.

Inexplicably, I thought that if Qin Banqiao was born 80 years earlier, he could meet Tang Liuru and Zhu Zhishan when he was young.

So what will happen to Tang and Zhu's life encounters? "

Gui Youguang doesn't quite understand, maybe it's not yet time to understand.Of course, it may also be because of the butterfly effect that there will be no chance to understand in this life.

Today is the day when the rankings are released, those who are famous on the list are carnival, and those who are not on the list are getting drunk, they all want to drink anyway.

And the next day is the day when the new imperial examination candidates pay homage to their teachers.

Under normal circumstances, the teachers of the township examination all live in the mansion, but Qin Dewei, a local, is a special case, he lives at home.

Fortunately, this Qin Mansion was a new mansion built only a year and a half ago, and it occupies a large area, which is enough to arrange a place for apprenticeship.

Qin Dewei set up a seat in the hallway in the middle, and the newcomers voluntarily formed groups, divided into batches, and went up to meet them wave by wave.

Everyone also brought silver silk and satin as gifts, Qin Dewei could at least receive hundreds of silver silk and satin today.

According to the rules of the world, after today's salute, Qin Dewei and this imperial examiner will have a formal teacher-student relationship.

In Daming, the teacher and the disciple are very important political relationships, they can influence and achieve each other.

Teachers prefer promising students, and students also expect teachers to be prosperous.These newcomers in Jinke are still very satisfied with the teacher!
Although Mr. Qin is unbelievably young, apart from the awkwardness of kneeling, there is nothing wrong with him!

Such a young seat teacher can show that the future is bright!

Moreover, according to the gossip, Mr. Qin is the favorite minister of the emperor, and now he has the power to manipulate the affairs of the court.

As a student, who wouldn't want to meet a promising teacher?Who doesn't want to hug themselves with thicker thighs?

But for Qin Dewei, today is a time to test his memory.

After all, among the 35 people who came to apprentice today, no, among the 34 people, most of them were unknown before, and it will be difficult to remember them all in the future.

After meeting several batches of strangers, Teacher Qin finally saw Xing Yifeng, Wang Fengyuan, He Liangjun, Wu Chengen and other acquaintances come in as a group.

The scene was a bit embarrassing for a while, the former peers suddenly became "direct elders", and those who are still riding horses today have to kneel down!

It feels like calling a former classmate mom after 500 years!
It can be called a tear-jerking ethical tragedy, and the psychological barrier is not ordinary.

And these few people didn't have as much face as Wen Zhengming, so they couldn't help but come today, and they were destined to face Qin Dewei directly.

It was He Liangjun from Songjiang Mansion who first broke the silence at the scene, and also broke the shackles in his heart.

He knelt down in front of Qin Dewei with a "plop", propping himself up and shouting, "Teacher! I want to be an official!"

Qin Dewei was also very surprised. To be honest, among the few people in this time and space, he knew He Liangjun the least.

All I know is that in history, this person was a small local celebrity who had been in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was also the kind who had never passed the exam in his life.

Moreover, the most famous deed in He Liangjun's life in history was the "drinking with prostitute shoes" incident 30 years later.

This kind of crazy-sounding incident is one of the symbolic incidents of the madness and extreme grotesqueness of the scholar-style in the late Ming Dynasty.

And it was He Liangjun and Wang Shizhen who did it together, that's right, that child prodigy Wang Shizhen who just wrote a poem praising Qin Dewei.

After Wang Shizhen learned it, he wrote this joke into the famous book "Jinpingberry" through the ages.

Thinking about the crazy deeds of the elderly He Liangjun in history, and looking at the young He Liangjun who wanted to be an official, Mr. Qin couldn't help but feel the complexity of human nature.

Is it true that behind most of the crazy students, there is actually a heart of fame?
If I failed the imperial examination for decades, would I become crazier than them?
In any case, with He Liangjun taking the lead in kneeling, the atmosphere was stirred up, so Xing Yifeng, Wang Fengyuan, and Wu Chengen could no longer escape.

He could only grit his teeth, be cruel, close his eyes, kick his legs, and salute without love.

After everyone got up, their faces were all normal, without any joy that the teachers and students recognized each other.

Teacher Qin pointed at He Liangjun and said with a smile: "In my opinion, if he enters the officialdom at a young age, He Yuen Long is the most promising! The other three of you, it would be good if you don't hinder me!"

Wu Chengen greeted the others and said, "Let's go!"

Xing Yifeng bowed to Qin Dewei again, and said, "After a few days, go and see Gao Changjiang!"

Qin Dewei sighed helplessly, on such a happy day, what does it mean to plant cornel everywhere without one person?
Everything has a chance of success. Gao Changjiang is unlucky and memorizes a little bit, and the test paper is missed, what else can he do?
