Zheng Xu looked at Gu Jingyun with a sad face, "Brother Gu, you arrived in the capital early, and you didn't contact us until this time."

  Shi Wei also looked at him sadly, feeling that he was not loyal enough. Originally, they could have the honor to watch the biggest gossip in Beijing this year.

  Gu Jingyun ignored them, turned around and introduced Zhao Ning: "This is Zheng Xu from Songshan Academy, and this is Shi Wei from Qingxi Academy."

   turned his head and introduced Zhao Ning to the two of them, "This is my friend Zhao Ning. We came from Guangzhou together. He also wants to take the kenke exam."

The two of them looked at Zhao Ning, their eyes lit up. Zhao Ning was about the same age as them. Anyone who could pass the township exam at this age was considered a talented person. The key was that Zhao Ning had clear eyes and a good attitude. No flattery, the two of them had a good first impression of him.

Zhao Ning knew about his own family affairs. If there was no urgent training from Gu Jingyun two months before the exam, and Wen Sheng and others in this Guangzhou township exam were calculated and could not be used as a reference, he would definitely not be able to get such a good ranking in the exam. It's hard to get in.

   So he is very humble towards Zheng Xu, Shi Wei and other talented people in the sky, and Gu Jingyun also told him before coming here that he will be very mysterious in the exam this time.

   If you can enter one of the two academies, it is best. If you can't, it is only beneficial to have more contacts with the students of the two academies.

   After seeing each other, Zheng Xu curiously pulled Gu Jingyun and asked, "Brother Gu, is your uncle really Mr. Qin?"

  Gu Jingyun nodded.

   Zheng Xu and Shi Wei looked at him enviously, "No wonder Brother Gu is so good at such a young age, so he could listen to Mr. Qin's teachings day and night."

After Shi Wei was envious, he immediately pulled him and said: "Since you are Mr. Qin's nephew, you should be admitted to our Qingxi Academy. Uncle Ling, Aunt Ling and Lingtang are all outstanding students of our Qingxi Academy. The name is still hanging on the wall of honor."

   Zheng Xu was unconvinced, "Can Qingxi Academy be as good as our Songshan Academy? Besides, Mr. Qin also served as the head of our Songshan Academy. Regardless of reason or reason, Brother Gu should go to our Songshan Academy."

  Shi Wei snorted coldly, "It's as if Mr. Qin has never been the leader of my Qingxi Academy."

   Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Gu Jingyun interrupted them and said, "If you can't enter the academy, you have to wait until the academy is tried, and the two of you should stop arguing."

  The two of them stayed for a while, "Why do you go to the academy even if you have passed the palace exam?"

   "Of course I'm teaching," Gu Jingyun smiled at the two of them and said, "If you don't pass the exam, maybe we will become teachers and students."

   The expressions of the two changed, and Shi Wei shouted: "I won't participate in the conference this year!"

   Zheng Xu's face was blue, "I have to wait three years."

   Zhao Ning looked at them strangely, "Didn't both of you pass the township exam, why don't you take advantage of the situation and try?"

  The two looked at each other with a wry smile and said, "We are not sure, so we decided to end the game after three years."

   People like them are not in a hurry to become an official, and those who can pass the imperial examination before the age of forty are considered young talents.

   For them, a good ranking is much more important than a career a few years in advance.

So they would rather wait three or six years longer, and wait until they are more confident before they end up. When the ranking is better, they will be able to get a better official position, such as entering the Hanlin, or walking directly in front of the imperial court or serving in the six divisions. In the middle, although they are all minor officials of the sixth or seventh rank, their power is not small.

   After entering the Hanlin, you have the qualifications to worship the prime minister. Since the Taizu abolished the post of prime minister and established the cabinet, there is a tradition in the DPRK that non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet.

   And there are so many jinshi each year, not everyone can enter the Hanlin. Except for the top three and the second top jinshi, they have to take the test again. Those who get the best grades enter. Each session ranges from ten to twenty people.

   And Tongjinshi didn't even have the qualifications to take the exam, so they were released directly.

As the name suggests, walking in front of the emperor can often dangle in front of the emperor to check his favorability. He is mainly responsible for recording what the emperor ordered. If he is favored, he will sometimes formulate imperial edicts. It is not difficult for the frontier officials.

   And the Imperial Walk is not replenished every session, and the replenishment is no more than three or two people at most, which is more difficult than entering the Hanlin.

  If you can't enter the Hanlin, and you can't find the shortage of walking in front of the imperial palace, then it is best to go to the six divisions to serve.

The    is only a seven-rank civil official, but he is responsible for sorting out the various official documents and memorials submitted by the localities, as well as checking the official documents and memorials reviewed above, transcribing them, filing them, and then distributing them.

  This official position is very low, but it holds real power, and the information is well-informed, and the power is no less than that of local third-rank officials.

   Most of the Hanlins who came out of the Hanlin Academy would downgrade and start from this official position, and they would have to be promoted after they became familiar with the affairs of the headquarters.

  The Zheng family and the Shi family have a lot of power and power. As long as the two of them are strong enough, they can rank higher after the palace exam, and even if they can't enter the Hanlin, they can get an official position in the six divisions.

   Therefore, they are not in a hurry for reference, and getting a good ranking can save them ten years of detours.

   Their goal is to make a prince and a chancellor. Naturally, they want to make the foundation more beautiful, but Zhao Ning is different. His biggest ideal in this life is to pass the examination as a jinshi and honor his ancestors.

   As for whether or not to be an official after passing the exam, he doesn't care much about what kind of official he is, so he will take the test every time, even if he doesn't pass the exam, it's good to accumulate experience.

Only after he met Gu Jingyun did he realize that his ambitions were lofty and his plans were more thorough than he thought. At first he thought he was an exception, but when he looked at Zheng Xu and Shi Wei again, he realized that they also had their own plans. , is very clear about the path that he will take in the future.

Zhao Ning was stunned on the spot, and secretly said: The reason why I used to take the jinshi examination as my lifelong dream was because it was too difficult for me to get into the jinshi examination, but now that I know Brother Gu, the road is getting wider and wider. Scholars are also not impossible. So should I think about what to do after I pass the Jinshi exam?

  Zhao Ning frowned and froze in place. Li Baolu saw that he was not moving, so she stopped and asked, "What do you think?"

   "Brother and sister, according to you, what should I do after I pass the jinshi examination?"

   "Didn't you take the imperial examinations to become an official?"

   "But I can only study, not an official."

   Zheng Xu couldn't help laughing when he heard such lovely remarks: "Brother Zhao, I have never been an official before. Everyone has to learn after entering the officialdom, so why bother."

  Gu Jingyun lifted his eyelids and glanced at him lightly, and said, "When you pass the exam, you can go to the Imperial College to become an academic officer, or go to the Hanlin Academy to study books."

  Li Baolu also felt that Zhao Ning was not suitable to be an official, especially an external official.

At first contact, everyone will think that he is very smart and shrewd, with a wide network of contacts and exquisite facets, but after getting along for a long time, they will find that the reason why he has so many friends is because this child is too cheerful and optimistic, and the person is very generous, generally the same loss. He also laughed when he ate it.

   But he is not "generous" enough. When he sees injustice, he rolls up his sleeves and goes up to it.

  For example, in the previous Guangzhou Township Examination frame-up case, it was clearly not related to him, and the other party was his nephew who could not afford to offend, but he ran up and down with them, and was not at all afraid that Ou Jiaji would hate him.

   This time, Gu Jingyun revealed his life experience and everything. If they hadn't stopped him, Zhao Ningneng would have rolled up his sleeves and joined the Gu family's crusade, which would have pushed the rumors of the Gu family to a new climax.

  The little Zhao family is not enough to be crushed by a finger in front of the Gu family, so Gu Jingyun made this suggestion.

   Zheng Xu and Shi Wei both looked at Gu Jingyun in surprise, the students of Guozijian had no authority at all and were only responsible for teaching the students of Guozijian.

   It sounds like an official, but he is actually a teacher. How could he recommend his friends to seek such an official?

   Who knew that Zhao Ning nodded happily after thinking about it: "This is not bad, I like it."

   He can continue to study, honor his ancestors, and seal his wife and son. Well, as soon as he becomes an official, he will first ask his mother for an appointment, which will also make his mother happy.

   Zheng Xu and Shi Wei sighed upon seeing this, they are really indifferent to fame and fortune. The favor for Zhao Ning increased by two points, and he dragged him to chat together.

Zhao Ning has little experience, but he has been with Gu Jingyun for half a year, and he has traveled from Guangzhou to Beijing, and he has a lot of knowledge. In addition, Zheng Xu and Shi Wei only talked about topics that he was interested in, and the three of them talked lively for a while. endlessly.

   When they reached the top of Huguo Temple, Gu Jingyun left them behind and pulled Li Baolu to find a stone table and chair to sit down, and asked Shunxin to take out their chessboard and play chess.

   They came out to play today, so naturally they came here as they felt comfortable.

   When Zheng Xu and the three of them kept their mouths shut, Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu had already played the second game, and the three of them stepped forward to watch the chess.

  Shi Wei's chess skills are famous in Beijing, so he looked at Li Baolu in surprise after only watching it for a moment.

  Gu Jingyun learned from Qin Xinfang, and with the talent he showed, his chess skills were nothing but unremarkable, but he didn't expect Li Baolu's chess skills to be not bad.

   Zheng Xu poked Shi Wei's waist from behind, and asked in a low voice, "How?"

   "Brother Gu is slightly better, but the younger brother and sister play chess cunningly, so they may not lose."

   "Where is Gu Jingyun?"

   Zheng Xu and Shi Wei were stunned when they heard the scream, and looked at the entrance with a bit of a headache.

   A figure soon appeared there, pushing Zheng Xu and Shi Wei's servants away, dragging a pair of wooden sandals and walking quickly "pat, pat".

  Li Baolu couldn't help staring at his feet, is it really good to wear clogs on such a cold day?

   It is already October, the capital is very cold these few days, and the first snow may be the work of these few days.

  When she went out this morning, she prepared cotton socks for Gu Jingyun, and only put a layer of cloth socks on the outside. When it gets colder, she will prepare leather boots for Gu Jingyun.

   Even though she thinks she has deep inner strength and doesn't dare to get cold feet, this one is a true warrior.

The real warrior walked up to Gu Jingyun quickly with a "pat, pat", and looked at him with tears and excitement, "You are the nephew of Mr. Gu Jingyun? You came back from Qiongzhou? Mr. him, is he okay? "
