Chapter 137: Talk till late at night

When Zhao Yan heard Guan Juer ask whether he was a scholar who would take the imperial examination next year, he couldn't help but become interested.

"Does the girl think I am?" he asked back.

Guan Juer showed a faint smile, looked at Zhao Yan carefully, and said, "Young master has an outstanding temperament. Even if he doesn't participate in the imperial examination, he will definitely have a bright future in the future."

"Oh? Then do you think it would be a pity if I didn't participate in the imperial examination?" Zhao Yan asked again.

"The ancients said: If you are good at studying, you will be an official, but only 10% of scholars in the world can enter the court. If a young man is not in the court, he can naturally find his ambitions elsewhere. Good men do not have to be determined by the court!"

Zhao Yan was simply surprised when he heard this!

If Xiao Jingye and the old ministers heard this, they would definitely glar at each other and angrily scold Guan Juer for being nonsense.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the imperial examination was the only possibility for scholars to enter the court.

If you cannot pass the imperial examination, don’t mention entering the Secretariat, it is impossible to become a county magistrate.

Many scholars have been taking the imperial examinations throughout their lives.

Fifty young Jinshi.

This sentence is a true portrayal of the scholars of Dazhou at present.

Because as long as you pass the exam, you can have everything in your life.

A young woman under twenty years old was able to say such words as "Good men do not have to be determined in the court."

Its thoughts are obviously beyond this era.

"It makes sense." Zhao Yan said approvingly, and then raised another question.

"If the topic of my dynasty this year is to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the imperial examination and officialdom to the court, how should a girl answer?"

"ah?"

Guan Juer looked at Zhao Yan in surprise: "Young Master, the court should not have such a topic of policy discussion. If there is no imperial examination, how should the court select talents?"

Zhao Yan spread his hands and said with a smile: "I heard that our Great Zhou emperor has always liked to find another way. Maybe he can really come up with such a question? We are the only one in the house, so let's talk about it."

Zhao Yan has the final say on what kind of strategy to discuss.

However, if the scholars asked this question to answer, it would probably be possible to write at least thousands of words in the advantageous places, and if there were disadvantages, it might be possible to use dozens of words to make it easier.

Because scholars nowadays generally believe that the Great Zhou Dynasty had no other people except the emperor and scholars.

Guan Ju'er thought about it, then took a sip of tea and said, "I won't say much about the advantages of taking office in the imperial examination. The young master must know it more clearly. As for the disadvantages, there are actually some."

"I would like to hear the details." Zhao Yan made a gesture of asking.

"Because of the imperial examination, the scholars read books of sages. Most scholars study hard without caring about the world. After gaining fame, the scholars have official positions and salary, and began to make up for their previous losses. Some are greedy for money, some are spending money, and some are even more able to achieve the Tao, and some are ascending to heaven, causing chaos in a place."

Zhao Yan nodded. This is very reasonable. Some scholars in Dazhou are currently doing this.

"In addition, some scholars were over fifty years old after passing the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination. They had a very old concept and did not understand the people's sentiment at all. Talking about war on paper can only lead to the poorer people's lives..."

Before I knew it, an hour passed quietly.

What Zhao Yan and Guan Juer said was very happy, and they could not feel the passage of time at all.

Aunt Hu outside was so impatient that she paced back and forth, but she didn't dare to go inside to remind her.

In Tingyuxuan, Aunt Hu seems to be fierce, but she is just a servant, Guan Ju'er is the master, and she has told her that when she chats with others, no one can come in to disturb her.

At this moment, a group of scholars gathered in the teahouse opposite Tingyuxuan.

"One hour has arrived, why didn't that person come out yet? Isn't he thinking about spending the night?"

"Miss Guan Ju'er, you must not be bewitched by that little guy. He may not be better than me in terms of knowledge!"

"I must have dinner with Miss Guan Juer tomorrow. According to my appearance, Miss Guan Juer will definitely leave me to spend the night together!" said a bearded man narcissistically.

...

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the leaders of the industry did not sell themselves, but when they met a particularly outstanding scholar, they might spend a good night with them, and a good story came out.

This is not uncommon in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Liu Chaotong and Pan Wenyue were once popular among the courtesans, and even offered to spend the spring night with him.

Therefore, a few young people suddenly appeared among the people, shouting that they were their illegitimate sons.

Because of this, these two deputy ministers had a headache and spent a lot of money on silver.

However, if Guan Juer really wants to spend a good night with Zhao Yan tonight, it will inevitably become an explosive news tomorrow.

And Guan Juer's name may not be preserved.

In the blink of an eye, it was late at night.

Zhao Yan and Guan Juer talked about the imperial examinations to the great victory in the Yellow River mouth, from Hei Khan to Beimeng, and even talked about currency, salt, iron, wine and tea specialty, etc.

Guan Juer was able to express some of her own opinions, which surprised Zhao Yan and received a lot of effective information.

"Girl, it's getting late, let's talk about this today!" Zhao Yan said first.

Guan Juer was suddenly surprised. She had always asked for the talented men and young men in the past to terminate the situation, but the other party left reluctantly, and they were all hoping to spend a good night together.

But this young master Yan Zhao was polite and had a clear look, without any frivolous intention.

This caused ripples in Guan Juer's heart.

Guan Ju'er slowly stood up and said, "If the young master comes next time, you can explain in advance that Ju'er will only receive one young master at that time, and there is no need for money or tests."

Zhao Yan smiled and nodded slightly, then bowed deeply to Guan Juer and said, "Today, I'm taught!"

This bow almost made the student salute to the teacher.

Guan Juer quickly replied the gift and sent Zhao Yan out of the door.

Not far away, Aunt Hu hurried over and said, "Miss, I'm tired today. This young man is really talkative!"

Aunt Hu deliberately took the word "talent" very seriously and glanced at Zhao Yan, obviously not happy.

Zhao Yan pretended not to hear it, and walked out strode out, while walking, he recited: "Looking for peas in a quail's nest, and egrets split the flesh on their legs. His eyes grew on his butt, and he only recognized Kong Fang and not people."

When Aunt Hu heard this poem, her face turned pale in an instant.

Guan Ju'er couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed, looking at Zhao Yan's back until she disappeared.

The dozens of people in the teahouse opposite couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Zhao Yan coming out.

"I knew that this young man was inside until the second half of the night, and probably he was just chatting with Aunt Hu!"

"I will go in tomorrow night, so I must delay the time, maybe I will stay!"
