Chapter 268 Encounter in a Restaurant

A few days passed by. Zhang Ying was bored in the courtyard, so she disguised herself and secretly took her two bodyguards, Guan Zuo and Guan You, to the street.

The scene in Huainan City was pretty good. She found a restaurant, ordered a few side dishes, and started drinking there.

She heard a few scholars next to her discussing, and one of them said: "This year is the first time that the imperial examination will be held, and you didn't try it."

Another one said with a smile: "Who knows if this is true or not? How can such a good thing happen, so that we, the poor people, can have a future."

At this time, a person at the table next to him said: "What you brothers are saying is wrong. The King of Huainan has repeatedly implemented new policies and loves his people like a son. He even gave up his position as prince for the sake of the people of the world.

And he has always been at loggerheads with the major aristocratic families, and he always thinks about us poor children. How can we doubt such a benevolent king?

Duan Xinchou, a junior student, came from Shengshui Academy and is currently staying at Biquan Academy. A total of 86 children from poor families came to Shengshui Academy for this time's imperial examination system.

We are willing to be a pioneer for scholars all over the world and to explore a way for our poorer children. However, I think the implementation of this imperial examination system will definitely be difficult.

Those little Confucians are bound to criticize him verbally and in writing, because this system has shaken the foundation of the family, and if we, the children of poor families, cannot step forward at this time, how can we repay the benevolent king? We are simply in vain. "

Duan Xinchou's words were so convincing that the faces of those people turned red with shame, and they were all submissive, which further showed how extraordinary he was.

Zhang Ying clapped her hands lightly and said: "Brother, what you said is good, but I don't think you can beat the family to death with one stroke. After all, there are mostly good people in the family."

Duan Xinchou smiled slightly and said: "I think this brother is also a member of a noble family, so I won't argue with you. In this world, the turbid will become turbid and the pure will become pure. As long as you go outside and take a look, you will know what I am saying. Right or wrong.”

Zhang Ying said with a smile on her face: "I don't think what Xiongtai said is wrong. There are indeed many dandies in this aristocratic family, but Xiongtai thinks that the imperial examination system can really cure the root cause.

Take Xiongtai as an example. If you get a high-ranking official position through the imperial examination, your family is bound to rise. Wouldn't it just become a new aristocratic family, and how would it be different from the old ones? "

Duan Xinchou obviously had something in mind, he smiled and said: "It seems that the girl still hasn't seen the essence of the imperial examination. Although new aristocratic families will emerge through the imperial examination, it will also have a huge impact on the old aristocratic families.

Because the New Aristocratic Family does not have any privileges, if they want to make the family prosperous, they must strictly manage the family's children and at least read the books of sages, otherwise they will eventually be eliminated.

And if you pass the examination like this from generation to generation, and constantly eliminate the impurities and retain the essence, all that will be left behind in the end are elites. Although this stubborn disease cannot be completely eliminated, at least the harm will be minimized.

Which of the two disadvantages is the lesser, I think this imperial examination system is an unprecedented initiative, and with the rise of this system, the end of the family will inevitably come. "

Zhang Ying was speechless by what Duan Xinchou said, but she changed her mind and said: "What brother said was really enlightening, and I admire it very much, but I don't know why brother called me girl just now."

Sun Yunfeng, who was beside Duan Xinchou, laughed and said: "When you look at the girl, she seems to have been in the boudoir for a long time. Even if she goes out to walk around, she should be aloof.

Look at your outfit. The piercings in your ears are very obvious, and a strand of black hair is looming. Do you think we are blind, or do you think we are stupid? "

Zhang Ying's pretty face suddenly turned red, and Duan Xinchou quickly scolded Sun Yunfeng and said, "Junior, please don't be so rude. The sages teach us how to make fun of others, and why don't we quickly admit our mistakes to the girl."

Sun Yunfeng stood up and saluted and said: "Xiaosheng just made a fool of himself, I hope the girl doesn't mind."

Guan Zuo slammed the table hard and said loudly: "You think it's over just by saying this. Our young lady is a proud daughter of heaven. How can I allow you to tease me? I'll knock out all your teeth right now."

Duan Xinchou snorted and said: "This is Huainan, where everyone is equal. You'd better put away your family's style. Although my junior is at fault, he has already admitted his mistake to you. If you want to take action, , then I will accompany you to the end."

Guan You shouted loudly and said: "You kid, you still dare to be tough, just take a punch from me."

As he spoke, he raised his casserole-sized fist and punched him directly. This punch was also very powerful. Duan Xinchou didn't change his expression and casually waved his sleeve, hitting the fist.

The two men groaned at the same time, and each took two steps back. They were both secretly surprised at the other's cultivation, and were cautious not to take action again.

Zhang Ying shouted in a sweet voice: "Who told you two to talk too much here? Why don't you step aside quickly. Both of my servants are reckless people. I hope Mr. Duan doesn't mind."

Duan Xinchou snorted from his nose and said: "I think Fei Yang is used to being domineering. Fortunately, Xiaosheng has some skills, otherwise the punch just now would have killed me from the start.

I would like to advise you again, Huainan is not a place for you to run wild. I am here at Biquan Academy. If you want to cause trouble, I will be with you at any time. "After that, he turned around and left.

Zhang Ying looked at the two people leaving, with a flash of light in her eyes. She turned back to the Guan brothers and said, "This is not in South China. You are really two idiots. Why don't you go back with me?"

Sun Yunfeng said to Duan Xinchou on the road: "The girl just now seemed to be a noble person. The senior even told others where she lived. Wouldn't it cause unnecessary trouble?"

Duan Xinchou snorted and said, "I believe that in Huainan, everyone is right. If we really get into trouble with the government and protect them, we won't stay in Huainan."

Sun Yunfeng said quickly: "But Biquan Academy has a special status in Huainan. The dean's son Zhou Qing is the chief think tank of the King of Huainan. It is expected that those people will not dare to act rashly."

Duan Xinchou frowned slightly and said: "Junior, don't say this again in the future. We have to rely on ourselves, not those so-called external things. If you always have such thoughts, how can you make further progress? "

Sun Yunfeng was also an upright scholar. He nodded with a smile, but then said, "I didn't ask the name of the girl just now. She looks pretty, and she and the senior seem to be a perfect match."

Duan Xinchou smiled and shook his head, but Zhang Ying's appearance unconsciously appeared in his mind.
