Chapter 74 Marriage

**Bright, birds sing and flowers are fragrant.

Wang Ju smiled and said, "Congratulations to his mentor Gao Qian, do you want your disciples to prepare a gift?"

The three-year survey period of Zhang Zai has arrived, which should be precisely three years and three months, but who cares about these three months? Then he was transferred to Weizhou for a judge. This is a commissioner, and there are also officials.

This is a blessing to worship the king of kings.

The book "Hengqu Piaolu" sold well. Not only was the scholar curious, but the book was also a bit cheap, but the abacus and oral score also attracted many people's attention. The Zhu family printed three editions and sold more than 3,000 copies.

In this era, this number of seals is very unpredictable.

Maybe this book was also circulated in the capital. Zhang Zai was originally famous, and was also famous. He was a knowledgeable person. Then he looked at Zhang Zai's political achievements, which was also good. Therefore, he was moved to the sixth rank of Chenghe Doctor.

This means that Zhang Zai's salary and benefits have doubled.

Zhang Zai was also happy, so he immediately bought a horse.

"Look for a fight."

Wang Ju smiled and wasn't afraid.

"By the way, I'm calling you to come and have another thing. Mr. Cheng deliberately wrote me a letter, wanting to ask you to go back to Yanzhou Prefecture to study for a few more months, and then participate in this year's autumn examination."

"Go to Yanzhou Prefecture to study?"

"You have been with me for more than two years, and I have nothing to teach you. Moreover, the autumn exam is about to be up, so you must review the old and learn the new, not the time to learn new knowledge. In fact, it is the same whether you go to Weizhou to study or Yanzhou to study."

"Why did Mr. Cheng have this idea?"

"Mr. Cheng is seventy-six. Although the court has taken a fancy to his talents and kept him in Yanzhou, his career has not been long. He has built roads, built cities and defenses, prepared military affairs, and achieved remarkable political achievements. The worst is culture and education. So I want you to enter the provincial school in Yanzhou and then examine the examinations to see if you can sing the name at Donghuamen next year. Cheng Gong will have no regrets in Yanzhou."

If it were other prefectures, winning a Jinshi was a political achievement, but that was the case.

What's different about Yanzhou? If Yanzhou produces a Jinshi for the first time, it will be a sensation.

Wang Ju was still worried: "Mr. Cheng Gong will give me a blow to the exam?"

"Nothing nonsense, what kind of person is Cheng Kan? Can you still hold a grudge against you?"

"What does the teacher mean?"

Zhang Zai picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and looked out the window. Several sparrows were chirping on the tree heads. Sanniu and Jingui were lying on the ground to watch the ants, as if they were telling another inexplicable story.

There is no such word "fairy tales" now, but Wang Ju often tells some fairy tales for Erniu Sanniu, and then the two little guys tell his son again. Although he is talking nonsense, it sounds interesting.

Finally, Zhang Zai said: "Didn't I say that the subject is approaching, and you must review the past and learn new things. It's not how much knowledge you have learned, but whether you can remember the knowledge you have learned. Don't underestimate it. Many test students can't think of the answers in the exam room, but they think it out immediately as soon as they leave the exam room, because they are not familiar with the knowledge they have learned."

It’s what later generations said to be reviewed. However, it is still not easy for Zhang Zai to propose it in this era.

“So it’s the same everywhere, you make your own decision.”

In terms of friendship, Zhang Zai supported Wang Ju's trip to Yanzhou. After all, Wen Yanbo valued him very much at the beginning. He loved the house and the Wu, and Cheng Kan was okay with him, and he could also repay him with the flow.

But in terms of personal affairs, Zhang Zai was somewhat reluctant to let go, so he finally said this.

"How did Mr. Cheng decide that I will definitely be able to make a name for Donghuamen?"

"There is a word of determination in this world? But if you have some confidence, you have to fight."

Wang Ju pondered.

The benefits of following the teacher are obvious. Do you really need to review the old and learn the new? You still don’t understand. Especially in this tragic era, words do not have punctuation marks, and you must break sentences. One more punctuation mark, one less punctuation mark, one period, and one question mark, and this concise classical Chinese will immediately have different meanings.

Who will go to Yanzhou Prefecture to learn?

If you can ask people, there are old scholars and answers, but will that answer be accurate? Besides, with Zhang Zai taking care of you, the examiner will give you some face.

But Yanzhou is the place where he raised his body, and there is also new paper. If he arrives in Weizhou and is too far away, it will be less convenient to contact him. If Cheng Kan does not invite him, Wang Ju will definitely go to Weizhou with Zhang Zai. However, when Cheng Kan invites him, Wang Ju couldn't help but hesitate.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Ju made up his mind: "If Mr. Cheng doesn't make things difficult for me, I will go back to Yanzhou."

"Okay, I'll say a few more things. If you become the four-way appeasement commander of the Farbian, will you do better than Mr. Fan, Mr. Wen, Mr. Pang, and Mr. Han?"

"What aspect does mentor refer to? People's livelihood, military affairs?"

“Military Affairs.”

Wang Ju understood. It turned out that Zhang Zai saw that he won the battle in Wangjiazhai and thought he had military talent. After so many years, the teacher was still a hawk.

"My teacher, my disciples dare not guarantee me. Besides, can the court grant me the official position?"

"If there is one day, you try your best to fight for it, the army will be defeated repeatedly and have low morale, so you will not be enterprising and act recklessly, forcing the court to increase troops one after another, resulting in serious redundancy in the country and the people will live in poverty. This has become the biggest disadvantage of our dynasty."

If Xixia can win a few big victories in a grand manner, and Xixia is honest and dare not invade, Shaanxi will not have to station so many troops, and morale will be raised, then a virtuous cycle will be formed.

Wang Ju smiled bitterly in his heart, "Teacher, it's not as simple as you thought." If the system does not change, even if Hehuang is collected, the Northern Song Dynasty will still perish."

But this is the teacher's sustenance. Wang Ju nodded and said, "If there is one day, the disciples must work hard."

"I remember you once said to me that a knife will not kill people. The one who kills people is the one who holds a knife. Even if you kill people, you must divide the killing of good people and the killing of evil people. If you have a lot of thoughts, I will not reject it. If you are eager for success and profit, I will not reject it. But remember what I said, and keep your heart upright." Zhang Zai said the word "holding" again.

"Disciple, remember," Wang Ju sat upright.

"I can't panic when I go to the exam room. Even if I have learned something, I can't play it out. I calm my mind first, and then write the answer after I think about it."

Zhang Zai is talking about his experience during the exam. Wang Ju loves it, so you don’t need to teach this, but he has to pretend to listen.

Guo brought the tea and asked, "Official, have this little guy thought about it?"

"He wants to go back to Yanzhou."

Guo stretched out his orchid finger and knocked Wang Ju's head: "What's wrong? I've grown up, my wings are so hard that I want to fly?"

Of course, this is a joke.

"Wang Ju, do you still remember what I said when you became a disciple?"

"Disciple remember."

"Benevolence."

"righteous."

"present."

"wisdom."

"letter."

"temperature."

"good."

"King."

"Frugal."

"let."

"Loyal."

"filial piety."

"Yang."

"High."

"inexpensive."

"A gentleman is gentle, as gentle as jade."

After Wang Ju said this, he bowed respectfully three times.

…………

"Sanlang, the Wang family's young man has returned to Yanzhou and will be admitted to the state school soon." Li Wan patted You Tao on the shoulder and said.

Yanzhou's education is backward, so the state education is almost becoming a cattle-herding class. Some people become nerds, while others become second-rate students. There are also many students, with nearly 200 students, but most of the time less than half of them are listening to classes. Some people can even read for four or five years after reading, such as You Tao and Li Wan, and You Tao have become relatives. It seems that his wife will not graduate if she doesn't give birth to a child.

"Really?" Several students next to him came up to ask.

Wang Ju is no longer the one who was more than two years ago. He is very famous. Of course, it is an insect or a dragon. The tests of the three levels in the next year can be seen. If it passes, it will be the day when the dragon snake turns into a dragon. If it cannot pass, it will be just a slightly famous scholar.

"Where is he? Take us there." You Tao said.

Wang Ju is moving.

Both the Zhu family and the Li family invited him to live there, but Wang Ju refused, and then bought a house that was two in and two out. The house was a little bit off, but the price was cheap, only about 200 yuan. In fact, Wang Ju didn't have much confidence in his heart.

He was not worried about the examination, unless Cheng Kan really wanted to make him a blow. It would be hard to say about the provincial examination. Even if he passed the examination, he had to look at it. If he was in the fourth or fifth, it would be better to study Zhang Dun and re-examination. Otherwise, he would have to be impatient and run to Hezhou like Wang Shao. Therefore, he had to have a nest.

The Zhu and Li families thought that they were moral and did not want to persuade them, so they sent many servants to help, and soon cleaned the house and moved the things in.

This is not a rented house, but a house that really belongs to Wang Ju. Erniu and Sanniu were happily running around in the wooden attic behind, and Wang Ju cooked tea for everyone.

Qin suddenly asked, "Wang Ju, are you seventeen years old this year?"

"Yeah." Before he knew it, Wang Ju found that he had been in the Song Dynasty for more than four years.
