Chapter 145: The new appointment
The drizzle outside the door was twisted by the wind and pushed into the door. ◎,
Xu Huobo felt a little cold. He held back the chill, stood from beginning to end, turning the book to the last page, but the title was for learning.
Xu Huobo read it carefully, but this article is mediocre. It is just a story about Lixue. The examples are fresh and the principles are thorough. However, compared with the other Lixue articles read in the society, there is not much difference.
Xu Huobo was shocked when he saw Li Zhi’s comments below. Li Zhi actually...he praised this article so much.
Xu Huobo thought to himself, who is this author? He can get Li Zhi's praise, what... Isn't this the author of the first article?
The head of the house test case!
Xu Huobo thought, no, even Li Zhi had a good article, but I didn't think it was good, it was mine, not that the article was not good.
Xu Huobo turned over the pages reluctantly, smelled the ink, and finally touched a string of money in his pocket, gritted his teeth, took the book and walked to the counter.
"Man, I want this book!"
Xianxia Ridge is located on the main road from Zhejiang to Fujian. After passing through two hundred miles of dry road, it is the Zhejiang territory.
Outside the Xiaoshan Station at the Xianxia Ridge, a new convoy of Fujian Tixuedao was welcomed.
As soon as the convoy arrived at the gate of the station, countless people were waiting outside.
In the post station, Tao Youxue, a new supervisor in Fujian, got off the carriage. Tao Youxue, whose courtesy name is Zixing, was the younger brother of Tao Dalin, the second-ranked candidate in the 35th year of Jiajing. His grandfather Dong Yan was also the second-ranked candidate in the 18th year of Hongzhi.
Tao Youth School is now entering Fujian and is about to take over. He has been serving for three years and has moved to Zhejiang to participate in politics. He is the first student of the school and is also the abbot of the August college examination.
Tao Youxue took a towel and handkerchief to wipe away the inconspicuous dust from his official uniform. He came from a famous imperial examination and attached great importance to appearance and etiquette on weekdays. Now, as a provincial education student, he must be a role model, and he cannot neglect any negligence in his behavior.
Tao Youxue ignored the crowded people outside. Instead, he went directly to the room prepared for him in the inn and summoned two Mubins who had already been there to stand.
A Mubin said: "Dongweng, my ex-Tai Xuexue half a month ago, went to Hangzhou to take up his post. Now there is no one in the Taoxue Yamen."
Tao Youxue said: "Okay, you can take the lead and arrive at the Tixuedao Yamen to seal all the documents and wait for the official to arrive before handling it."
"yes."
At this time, the noise came faintly from outside the gate of the station.
Tao Youxuewen said: "What's the sound outside the door? Summon the postmaster!"
The Xiaoshan Post Office Chief was waiting outside the door for the summoning of Tao Youxue. The post Chief came in and said with a smile: "The Grand Master came to Xiaoyi, and all the students and scholars in the county gathered outside the post and wanted to visit the Grand Master."
Tao Youxue waved his hand and said, "Just say that I am tired of carriage and horses, and I won't see anyone today."
"Will the Grandmaster read the post first? Many students came from the provincial capital from all the way?"
Tao Youxue frowned and said, "Didn't you hear clearly what I said?"
The postmaster hurriedly said, "Yes."
The other party retreated in a mess. Then the postmaster sent the postmaster to send someone to leave, but there were still many people outside who refused to leave.
Mu Bin said on the side: "Before Dongweng arrived at the provincial capital to preside over the examination, someone wanted to come and do a camp in advance."
Generally speaking, after each supervisor takes up his or her new position, he or she must take the exam to prevent people from asking for help after being in the local area for a long time. Now people gather outside the post station are going to work harder, including candidates who are going to take the college entrance examination and students who are going to take the exam immediately.
Their purpose is self-evident.
Tao Youxue said: "The court ordered the people repeatedly, but the scholars did not know how fearful the punishment was. It can be seen that the unhealthy trend in Fujian has a long history. I have to tell the locals along the way. I presided over the examination and did not see anyone along the way to prevent others from asking for help. If there are any more students who come to the post station to submit a post, they will be punished for bribery."
The school officials could deprive them of their fame. After Tao Youth School said this, the door suddenly became quiet outside, and everyone left without a single hair.
Although Tao Youxue served as an official for more than ten years, he was still an honest official. When he thought of the students who posted a post outside, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
At this time, the Book Office held a thick stack of books and placed them respectfully on the desk on Tao Youxue's face.
Tao Youxuewen said: "What kind of book are these?"
The Book Office said: "These are all good books sold in Fujian bookstores, and many of them were written by disciples of the academy and local students."
Tao Youxue likes reading books very much. Whenever he goes to a place, he always likes to read books from local celebrities to understand the local customs. This time, he served as the school official and specially selected good articles from the students to read.
So Tao Youxue nodded and said, "Let go!"
"Yes." After the book office left, Tao Youxue walked to the front of the case and then flipped through a book. After reading a few chapters, he thought it was good. He thought that there were still talented people in Fujian, and then wrote down the name of this person on a piece of paper.
Tao Youxue took another book and read it for a while, shook his head and said, "This person has a name but no reality."
Tao Youxue read several books in one breath. When he picked up one, he saw that it was Li Zhi's editing, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Li Zhi knew that Tao Youxue had always opposed the retro style of the seven sons, and Li Zhi also wrote articles to criticize Wang Shizhen many times, so he could be said to be like-minded. Although this person is a little extreme, he still has insightful opinions.
So Tao Youxue picked up the book "Xiancao Collection" edited by Li Zhi and read it. When he turned the first page, he frowned and said, "This kind of unknown parallel prose is also the first in the palace examination. I thought that Suzhou's literary style would be glittering, but I didn't expect that the same is true for Fujian."
Tao Youxue wanted to abandon the book, but then he thought about it. Since this person was the first in the palace examination, it showed that the article was still worthy.
Now Tao Youxue read it again, but still didn't like such flashy works. Then he looked at the following articles with a glance. After reading several articles, Tao Youxue's face gradually improved, and he thought that there were still several articles in this collection of leisure grass. So Tao Youxue recorded the names of Ye Xianggao, Chen Yinglong and others on paper.
In addition to a few people, Tao Youxue glanced at the notes again. The annotation was written well, and it could be called a citation. There were a few sentences in the notes, and it was the first time he heard about them. Tao Youxue thought that the proofreader who invited this was bound to be a erudite scholar.
Tao Youxue turned to the last article, read a few lines, and couldn't help but stand up and praise, "Who wrote this article? I should mention it!"
Then Tao Youxue thought that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities yet, and knew that he had made up his words, so he smiled and sat down again.
After reading the author's signature at the beginning of the next article, Tao Youxue couldn't help but say incredible: "This article is actually the first work of the mansion's test case. Why are the writing styles completely different from the previous and next articles?"
Tao Youxue thought to himself that fortunately, he did not discard this collection of idle cursive scripts, otherwise he would not only miss a good article, but also a talented person.
Tao Youxue slowed down and read this one word by one. Finally, he said: "This article is precise and I can't delete and add a word. The idea is thought-provoking, but it is more than the last. It is not surprising that Li Zhuowu calls this a good article that has been seen in a century."
Tao Youxue thought of this and turned to the top of the page, but when he saw that the person's name was also found in the scheduling column, he finally became uneasy.
Chapter completed!
