Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Eight: Imperial Examination Difficult to Go to Heaven
Mo Yan and Mo Yu were sent by Shangguan Yu to take care of his safety when Shangguan Chen had an accident last time, so he sincerely treated him as his master.
For both of them, Shangguan Yu is an irreplaceable and eternal master. Shangguan Chen is his younger brother, who they should work hard to protect.
When they were still a pair of orphan beggars who were almost frozen to death in winter, Shangguan Yu rescued them.
Send someone to teach them martial arts - so that they can have the ability to protect themselves and even protect others, and teach them to read and read - so that even if they choose not to be secret guards in the future, they can still have a skill and make a living.
Over the years, Shangguan Yu gave them everything they needed to survive, and gave them an important choice.
These people he trained with a lot of money can choose to continue to stay by his side as a secret guard when they are about to finish their studies, so the tasks he will perform may face life and death difficulties in the future.
Of course, you can also choose not to be a secret guard, so Shangguan Yu can place these people in his private property and do some other work.
Although some people still choose not to take risks and live a safer life, more people, like Mo Yan and Mo Yu, choose to continue to be Shangguan Yu's secret guards, protecting him and everything he cherishes.
Now, he is witnessing his growth more intuitively than anyone else around Shangguan Chen, and Mo Yan even feels honored in his heart.
...
Seeing the expression on Qin's face, Shangguan Chen knew that his goal had been achieved.
He was so excited about Qin just now, and I thought that she must be even more resentful than when she hadn't come yet. Over time, she might even be even more resentful to An Qinru.
It seems that there is no need to take action by herself, because she will do everything she wants to do in the future, and these will still be tested in the future.
"That wet lady, we are still anxious to go back to Qingcheng to report the news to our wife, so we will say goodbye first. If you have poor legs and feet, don't send it to us!"
Mo Yan held his fists and bowed to Qin. His movements were very generous, but he looked at him a little dissatisfied, as if he was dealing with the matter, so Qin naturally saw this.
Just then, Mo Yu dragged Qin's son-in-law to push open the door. When he saw Shangguan Chen's appearance, he knew that the matter had been agreed upon, so he simply let go of the person he had been holding in his hand.
After he let go of Zhang San, who was slick and slick, he hurriedly distanced himself from him, as if he was afraid of him. I thought that Mo Yu had taken the opportunity to clean up just now, so his eyes were full of fear at this moment.
Seeing this, Shangguan Chen didn't say anything more and walked out of the door with the pawn orders in his hands.
Before he could walk a few steps forward, he heard the sound of two people talking from the yard behind him, so Shangguan Chen stood still and listened.
"Old woman, did those people just now give you a lot of silver? How much did you give? Take it out quickly. Our family can live a happy life. If you dare to hide it privately, I will beat you to death today."
"What!"
"Why are there only one hundred taels? I see those people who are rich and powerful, how can they be stingy? Did you hide the remaining money privately and say! Where did you hide it?"
"I didn't hide it, but I really only gave one hundred taels. I think it must be An Qinru's instruction. I was driven out by my wife because I was concealed by her. As a result, she now takes this one hundred tael to deal with me!"
"I don't believe it, okay, you treacherous old woman, in the past few years, you have eaten mine and spent mine at my house, and splashed water from your married daughter. Go and ask who will run to your married daughter to live a life. Now that you have money, you turn your back on your face, right? Let's see how I deal with you today..."
Then I heard a sound of sticks hitting the flesh and the noise of two people chasing each other. Outside the small courtyard, a group of neighbors watching the fun were gathered.
Seeing so many people, Shangguan Chen was not watching the fun. He led the two of them to the carriage and ordered Mo Yan as he walked.
"You don't need to follow Mo Yu and me in a while. First, take this pawnshop list to take An Qinru's jade ring back, and then ask the Prince Yu's mansion to hand it over to the princess' sister together with this pawnshop to explain the matter to her."
After thinking about it, Shangguan Chen added.
"By the way, you must tell the princess sister that I will pay attention to the follow-up of the secret letter sent by Su Mubo in the palace these two days, and will definitely help if necessary."
Mo Yan nodded, put the order he handed over on his chest, and said.
"I'm following the instructions of my master, I'll go to the pawnshop first. You and Mr. Chen go to the restaurant and eat. Just don't cause any other things. Mo Yu must take good care of the master and don't cause any major disaster carelessly."
Seeing that he was talking about this again, Mo Yu waved his hand and was very distracted.
"I understand, brother, you always say that whenever you see me, I'm not a three-year-old child. Besides, have you ever done something wrong when you see me?"
“…”
Mo Yan stopped talking and thought that you had done few unreliable things, but when he saw that he knew what he meant, he stopped preaching and separated from the two of them and went to find the pawnshop.
Chen Qi, who had been waiting by the carriage, had already become impatient. He thought that he had known that he had been so bored by waiting alone, even if his clothes were dirty, he should have followed Shangguan Chen and the others.
He held a dead grass in his hand, poking here and there, bored, and finally saw Shangguan Chen at the entrance of the alley before the moment he was about to run away.
But now his back became one person again. Wasn’t there still two when he went in just now?
Chen Qi, who was no longer entangled, felt that his head was getting bigger again. Shangguan Chen saw him blankly and didn't know how to get on the carriage, so he hurriedly said.
"What are you still stunned? Are you going to a restaurant for dinner? Come on quickly!"
"oh!"
Chen Qi nodded blankly and got on the carriage. He wanted to ask clearly what happened to the two people and who they were looking for today, but suddenly hesitated to think that this matter might be Shangguan Chen’s private affairs, so hesitated and wondered whether he should speak.
"I just didn't cover you in your mansion. I have opened a new restaurant in the capital recently. I heard that the food tastes good. Even if you are lucky today, follow me to have a big meal and then go home to study hard."
Seeing that Chen Qi had not spoken, Shangguan Chen thought he was a little impatient when he was waiting just now, so he quickly spoke up.
Chen Qi was very happy when he heard him say something he was annoyed, but until he heard Shangguan Chen's last words, his face suddenly changed a little.
"I said Thirteen, are you deliberately irritating me? After I go back, I will write two more articles, one is about the analysis of the war between the Huns and my Dazhou, and the other is about the gentleman who does not stand under the dangerous wall. Thinking about these two, I have a headache."
"So, it's difficult to get into the imperial examination, and it's difficult to get into the sky!"
Although Chen Qi was already ready when he came, he decided to work harder in the future.
But even if he is full of confidence, he cannot solve the urgent problem that he has to write two articles to his brother when he goes back.
Seeing him crying, Shangguan Chen knew that these two questions were a little difficult for him, but he knew that the question Chen Shu was deliberately testing Chen Qi so that he could think more comprehensively.
After all, if you want to get the exam in the Spring Boudoir, it is not enough to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics by memorizing them thoroughly. With those, it may be a big deal to pass the exam by the scholar.
Because since the juren exam, the questions have already started to involve some current affairs analysis, and sometimes even directly ask everyone to give advice on one thing.
This requires examining all aspects of the qualities of the people, let’s start with the first topic given by Chen Qi just now.
On the surface, we are asking about the current situation of the Huns and Dazhou. This is actually not difficult, because every battle situation has news from people from the border. Even if a flat-headed commoner is caught on the street, he can be very informed about this war.
But in fact, the profound meaning of this topic is not here, but in a long-term analysis of the situation between the two countries, expressing one's own opinions and solutions.
This first requires analysis from the long-term dispute between the two countries, and to clarify what the contradictions that exist for a long time and cannot be resolved by other means are.
Secondly, we need to figure out what each other's strengths and weaknesses are. This is even more difficult, and the difficulty lies in the word fairness.
If you analyze it in an unbiased manner, you should not underestimate the other party or praise yourself, otherwise this article would be labeled with the word "bad" at the beginning.
It also requires a decent and various allusions can be interspersed in it, playing a role of appreciation of history. It cannot be plain language, which looks easy to understand, but seems to have no meaning.
The ultimate goal of the question of the argument given by the imperial examination is not to ask people to analyze, but to how you should solve it if this matter is handed over to you.
After all, the court needs people who find problems, but what it needs more is people who have the ability to solve problems.
To be novel at this point, you need to have a knowledge foundation in many aspects, because a decision may be related to many aspects.
For example, when fighting, you must at least know what the terrain between the Dazhou and the Huns is like, which is considered geography knowledge.
