Chapter 476 Talent (2)
In the final round of exams, the questions were given by Yuxi, and the exams were invigilated by Yunqing, and assisted by Han Jianming and Tan Tuo. Yuxi's topic this time is easy to say, but difficult to say.
Han Jianming was taken aback when he got the question, then smiled and shook his head, and said to Tan Tuo next to him, "My fourth sister, I really dare to ask any questions?"
The question Yuxi asked was to let all the examinees express their views on female leadership. In fact, Yuxi just wanted to know what these candidates thought about her being in charge.
Tan Tuo thought a little too far, Yuxi came up with this question to train her own people. Facing Han Jianming, Tan Tuo said something plausible: "Princess, think far and wide!" If the candidates below do not agree with women in power, they will definitely not be reused by Yuxi. But according to Yuxi's temperament, if she praises her, she won't like it, and she won't get a good ranking either. Therefore, it is not easy for this article to shine.
On the night after the exam, Yu Xi and Yun Qing checked the papers together. Yun Qing pointed to an examination paper of candidate Zong Siyuan: "Yuxi, can you pass the handwriting like this?" Yun Qing always felt that his handwriting was not good, but comparing this person's handwriting with his, Yunqing felt that his handwriting was not good enough. The words are written quite well.
Yuxi glanced at him and said: "This man is called Zong Siyuan, from Yao County. His father was a Jinshi in the 35th year of Guangzong, and died of illness six years ago. This man has been famous since he was a child, and he was admitted as a scholar at the age of thirteen. However, when I was preparing to take the provincial examination, I was seriously injured in an accident, and I only recovered my body a year ago, but I can’t write with my right hand.” Zong Siyuan’s right hand is not unable to move, but because of injured tendons, he has no strength.
In the Northwest, there are actually quite a few people raising talents. However, because both Yunqing and Yuxi knew that most of these candidates had passed exams with money and had no real talent, so Yunqing and Yuxi did not recognize these people, and all the previous benefits were cancelled. This time when the exam started, Yuxi didn't stop these people from referring to it. However, few passed. And Zong Siyuan is one of them.
Looking at the test paper, Yun Qing said in disbelief: "The right hand is disabled, does this mean that he wrote this test paper with his left hand?" If it was written with his left hand, the handwriting is so ugly, we can understand it.
Yuxi smiled, and said: "It's his luck." Zong Siyuan's right hand is disabled, and he is a disabled person. The disabled are not eligible to take the scientific examination. And the county magistrate of Yao County happened to be Zong Siyuan's uncle, so he also had the opportunity to participate in the children's test. Zong Siyuan had already taken the children's test, and he hadn't neglected his studies in the past few years. Except for the ugly handwriting, this test was not difficult for him. Later, during the township examination, it was Fu Minglang who graded the papers again. Fu Minglang is a person who loves talents, and Zong Siyuan happens to belong to the category of talented people, so even if the handwriting is ugly, Fu Minglang let him pass.
Because he knew that this test paper was written with his left hand, Yun Qing read the whole test seriously. After reading it, Yunqing nodded and said: "This person can be used." It can be seen that he is indeed talented if he can say that he can be used.
Yuxi took it over and looked at it seriously, and after reading it, a smile appeared on her face. Yuxi's topic was her views on women's governance, but Zong Siyuan's article was about the huge changes in the Northwest in the past two years, and the benefits that these changes have brought to the common people. Finally, I wrote a sentence, it doesn't matter whether a man or a woman is in charge, the most important thing is to let the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Among the 18 answer sheets, there was one who talked about women in power. There is another person who thinks that there will be endless troubles for women in power. For this reason, this person also cited that after Lu Zhi came to power, the descendants of the Liu family almost died and changed the dynasty.
After reading the answer sheet, Yuxi said with a smile: "Why didn't he write about Empress Lu cutting Mrs. Qi into a pig? If he dared to write it, I would admire him." This test paper clearly refers to Sang scolding Huai, It's quite courageous. Yuxi is not angry either, since she took power, there are many people who oppose her.
If he cared, he would have been pissed off.
Yun Qing said: "Disqualify him!" This person has narrow eyesight, and in general, such a person is not worth using.
Yu Xi shook her head and said: "What kind of qualification is disqualified, just put it in the last place!" Although Yu Xi doesn't care, she doesn't care about such a person. However, Yuxi felt that no matter what she did, she had to follow the rules, not her own preferences.
As it turned out, the first one was named Liu Dongfeng, a native of Lanzhou City; the second was named Du Mutao, the eldest son of the former governor Du Xingguo; the third was Xie Youting, a son of the Xie family. Zong Siyuan was named tenth by Yuxi. Although Zong Siyuan's answer sheet was liked by Yunqing and Yuxi, but the wording was really ugly, and it would not look good if it was pointed at the front.
Seeing the name of the first place, Yun Qing said with a smile: "Dongfeng? The name is interesting. Could it be that their family still has the west wind, the south wind, and the north wind?"
Yuxi smiled and said, "There is a line in "The Songs of Chu. Nine Songs. Mountain Ghosts" that goes, 'The east wind blows and the gods rain, and the spiritual cultivation makes me forget to return. The name of Dongfeng should come from this."
Yun Qing let out a sigh and said, "So there are so many Taoisms!" Having a knowledgeable daughter-in-law who can make herself a scumbag at any time also needs a strong psychological endurance, otherwise she will feel inferior if she is not careful.
After the results came out, Yunqing summoned them. As for Yuxi, she didn't show up. After seeing these people, they were directly given official positions and let them go to the post. Among the eighteen people, the highest official is Liu Yao, who is the county magistrate of the seventh rank, and the worst is the last one, who only got a magistrate of the eighth rank. Zong Siyuan was accused of being sentenced by the state of Qipin.
Yuxi found a copybook and asked Han Jianming to send it to Zong Siyuan.
Zong Siyuan held the copybook that Yuxi had rewarded him, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and said excitedly: "I thank the lord and the concubine for the reward." Generally valued.
In fact, Zong Siyuan came to Pick City to take the exam because he mustered up his courage. He knew very well how bad his handwriting was with his left hand, and he wouldn't even be able to pass the first level of the normal scientific examination. But now, it is at the end. Even if he only got the tenth place, he was extremely grateful. Because, Yunqing and Yuxi gave him a chance to show his ambition.
Han Jianming said: "My lord and my concubine like your articles very much. If you didn't hurt your right hand and the characters are not very good-looking, you will be nominated for the first place. But the lord and the princess also said that the ranking is not the most important thing, but the most important thing." It’s about going to the local area to do real things.” The copybook that Yuxi gave Zong Siyuan is a rubbing copy of Mr. Liu. Sending this copybook also has a special meaning, because Liu Gongquan is from Yao County, and Zong Siyuan is from the same place.
Zong Siyuan nodded emphatically, and raised his voice and said: "This subject will definitely not let down the great love of the lord and the concubine."
Han Jianming handed Zong Siyuan another piece of writing, on which was written the four characters of "Heaven rewards diligence". Han Jianming smiled and said: "This is an extra reward from the princess."
Zong Siyuan took the letter with both hands, feeling very disturbed. Because he didn't know why he wrote such a word specially for him.
Seeing this, Han Jianming said with a smile: "This character is written by the princess with her left hand. The princess rewarded you with this calligraphy to tell you that as long as you practice hard, your future writing will definitely not be worse than it."
Zong Siyuan looked at the four big characters flying like dragons and phoenixes, a little unbelievable: "Your Excellency, you mean that these four big characters were written by the princess with her left hand?" Could it be that the queen is left-handed.
Han Jianming nodded and said, "The princess can write with both left and right hands, but she seldom uses it. This time, I specially rewarded this painting to encourage you."
Zong Siyuan was very moved.
Han Jianming looked at Zong Siyuan's expression of wanting to embarrass Yuxi, and felt that Yuxi's method of attracting people was very good.
The matter of the scientific examination has been dealt with, and it has entered December. Yuxi looked at Liu'er, with a sad expression on her face: "Mommy, this girl will be two years old in a few days, when do you think she will speak?" Mommy said calmly: "Wait She said it when she wanted to." The reason why Mammy is so calm is that Liu'er's voice is fine, and secondly, Liu'er is slower than others no matter what she does. Talking later than other children is also to be expected.
Yuxi said to Liu'er in her arms: "For you and your sister, my mother's hair is almost graying." One is unwilling to study, and the other is still unwilling to speak. Yuxi had to sigh, no wonder the old saying that children are debts.
Upon hearing this, Sister Quan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I'm teaching her how to speak these days! I believe she will be able to call your mother soon."
Yu Xi said with a bitter face: "How can you not be in a hurry?"
Sister Quan said helplessly: "It's useless to be anxious." It's useless to be anxious, and they can't force Liu'er if she doesn't speak.
Yuxi sighed, and said: "There are only two of them? If there are a few more, and if they are like them at that time, you don't have to worry about me to death!" If the children behind are also like the two girls, Yuxi thinks I will definitely have a short life.
Sister Quan laughed and said, "What are you talking about? Zao Zao and Liu Er are very good, and other people's children can't compare to them! If you want me to say, you are just fooling around. As long as you are good on the outside, others Don't be too demanding."
After a pause, Sister Quan said, "Your health is fine, when are you going to have another child?"
Yuxi said: "Wait until the new year is over!" Recently, there are scientific examinations and dealing with winter affairs, and she is so busy, so Yuxi dare not have children.
Sister Quan nodded: "It's fine to have another child after the Chinese New Year."
Yuxi told Mammy Quan about hiring a teacher for Zaozao: "Mommy, what kind of husband do you think should be hired for Zaozao?"
Sister Quan didn't have any good candidates, so she said, "An ordinary gentleman can't hold back Zaozao." Just such a mischievous temperament, an ordinary gentleman can't stand it either.
Yuxi nodded Liu'er's nose and said, "Don't follow your sister's example from now on, you know?" Two daughters, two extremes. Yuxi thought more than once, if the two children's tempers could be reconciled, then she didn't know how much trouble she could save.
Seeing this, Quan Momo shook her head helplessly. Princess Pingxi, who is majestic in front of outsiders, is just a caring and ordinary woman in the backyard. (to be continued)
