The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 358
Mr. Zhang's intuition is really right. There is indeed something wrong with Hu Anguo and Wang Huai, but they are eager to read Zhao Gou's article.To be honest, after two consecutive exams, Zhao Gou's outstanding literary talents were deeply imprinted in the minds of Hu Anguo and Wang Huai, and it was difficult to shake them off.

Zhao Gou surprised them so much that they haven't digested it yet, and Zhao Gou handed in the papers ahead of schedule again.The third test is the student's thoughts and vision, and it is also the most important thing. This test is the key.

Hu Anguo eagerly wanted to see how Zhao Gou's writing was. Everyone was shocked by Zhao Gou, and they wanted to take a look, but they didn't find anything strange about him.After all, as a doctor of imperial studies, a well-read person, and a scholar, if others knew what was going on in his heart, he would be ashamed to face it.

Wang Huai was deeply impressed by Zhao Gou, but he didn't know that he was so powerful. When he recalled the scene of himself in the exam, and compared with Zhao Gou, he found that he was really ashamed.Even if he wanted to finish all of it, it would probably take several days, but Zhao Gou was so quick, with a solid foundation, catchy and core ideas, all of which surprised him.

Wang Huai thought so, and so did other people, so Zhao Gou's two consecutive questions that only took one day to complete spread quickly, but only the examiners knew about it.As for the other candidates, they didn't know about it, even in the vicinity of Zhao Gou's room, because they were all immersed in answering the questions, so they didn't have the time to pay attention to other things.

Wang Huai followed closely behind Hu Anguo, and he also wanted to take a quick look, and see what Zhao Gou was capable of.Hu Anguo struggled to look at Zhao Gou's answer sheet, wanting to but couldn't.After all, the imperial court stipulated that the examination papers should be read uniformly, and the examination papers should not be read privately.

The reason for this regulation is also because the examiner will think that it is very good after seeing the first test paper and think it is very good, while the other answer papers may not be so perfect in comparison, so unified marking is also to avoid such things Happened, when there is time to slowly compare.

Even if the examiner can remain impartial, most of them have a deep first impression.If the memory is still fresh, even the best articles will be boring to read, unless it is a really excellent article.After all, examiners are human beings, they are not machines, they will always get visual fatigue and fatigue.

In the end, Hu Anguo carefully kept Zhao Gou's answer sheets in order not to lose them, and Zhao Gou's previous answer sheets were also put together, and after the rural examination was over, all the candidates handed in the papers and then reviewed them together .Now, Hu Anguo really hopes to end it sooner, and it took only a few days for him to go from disliking it at the beginning to making this worthwhile trip, because Zhao Gou surprised him too much, so he looked at it differently , and to see what Zhao Gou is capable of.

Like the previous two times, Zhao Gou left the Gong Yuan directly; this time, Steward Wang did not wait in the Gong Yuan.Just because he was used to it, he stayed in the inn directly, prepared bath water, wine and food, etc., as long as Zhao Gou came back, he would take a bath as soon as possible, and then eat wine.

As for what happened in the tribute courtyard, Zhao Gou didn't know anything about it.

Two days later, all the examinees in the Tribute Academy came out. After several days of hard work, they were exhausted and looked much older. The examiner was also by their side, so their spirits were not much better. After all the answer papers were collected Afterwards, Hu Anguo asked everyone to rest for a while, but did not go back.

As long as the answer sheets are not finished, they are not allowed to go back to the mansion to rest, but to stay in the tribute courtyard.

That night, after Zhao Gou had a rest, Steward Wang sneaked into the tribute courtyard, and finally found the place where Hu Anguo rested after several times of exploration.

"Mr. Wu Yi, I haven't seen you in ten years, don't come here!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Hu Anguo turned around and saw Steward Wang looking at him with a smile, and said excitedly, "Why are you here?"

"Thank you Mr. Wuyi for coming here, Mr. Wang!" Steward Wang knew that Hu Anguo came here because of his own request, and of course he also had Zhao Xi's intentions, so he thanked him personally, "It may be inconvenient these days, so there is no Come and bother."

Hu Anguo replied: "Brother Wang is too polite, if it weren't for Brother Wang's help ten years ago, how could Hu have a peaceful life for ten years!"

"It's nothing to worry about!" Wang Steward really didn't dare to take the credit, but he didn't explain too much. Some things are not good if they are explained, so he said straight to the point: "Mr. Xiyi, Mr. Wang came here today for a business. Asking, I wonder if I can agree?"

Hu Anguo never understood why Steward Wang asked him to come here, and seeing him straight to the point, he replied: "What is it, I would like to hear the details!"

"My young master took part in the imperial examination a few days ago, and I came here today to tell Mr. Xiyi, please keep his answer sheet for other uses!" Steward Wang bluntly said the request, which is The emperor meant that he had to do it.

Hu Anguo was taken aback, he didn't expect Steward Wang to just mention this, frowning.To be honest, he was really entangled. All the test takers' answer sheets were kept, and no one ever took them away without permission.However, thinking of Steward Wang's identity and seeing him calling Zhao Gou the young master, he must be the master of his family, so he agreed after thinking about it.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu Yi!" Steward Wang thanked him.

"Hu has something to ask, I wonder if Brother Wang can tell me?" Hu Anguo doubted Zhao Gou's identity, but he didn't have any real evidence. He wanted to know something from Steward Wang, so he asked this question.

Steward Wang looked at him and motioned him to speak up.

Hu Anguo continued, "Who the hell is he?"

Butler Wang replied embarrassingly: "Sorry, Mr. Wu Yi, this matter Wang cannot tell. Because this matter involves a lot, the less people know about it, the better!"

Hu Anguo already understood in his heart, guessing that Zhao Gou's identity must be the prince, otherwise, he would not let Steward Wang be a slave.However, he really couldn't guess who Zhao Gou was.Even though he was a scholar, he couldn't have guessed that the man was actually Zhao Gou, the well-known King of Guangping County.

In the past ten years, Hu Anguo and Wang Guanjia had never met each other, and they had a lot to say, but both of them were inconvenient, so they separated with only a few words.Before leaving, Steward Wang told Hu Anguo that if he met him on the street, treat him like a stranger. Hu Anguo kept it in mind and readily agreed, and finally Steward Wang left.

Due to the short time, Hu Anguo still didn't understand his purpose of coming here.If it is just to preserve Zhao Gou's answer sheet, it is not necessarily possible to let him come forward. Others can, and there must be other reasons. It would not be too late to ask again in the future, and after he guessed Zhao Gou's approximate identity, he was even more curious about what happened to the article he wrote, and he was really impatient!
