Chapter five hundred and ninety seventh brother?? (two in one)
"I heard before that Doctor Du had a senior disciple who was talented and knowledgeable. He was also a genius boy under ten years old. Today, he saw that he was indeed extraordinary. The young master solved the problem of disorderly registration with just one move. It is admirable!" The person in charge changed his attitude and said respectfully.
The onlookers around them flattered them and praised the young man for being so handsome.
Xiao Xuanxuan pulled Di Renjie's clothes and laughed: "How is it? Are you very happy to be so popular?"
Di Renjie glared at his junior sister and whispered: "Don't cause trouble or cheating me, I'll burn the incense. Let's sign up quickly and leave."
Then he asked the chief, "I wonder if we can register and make a book for our brothers? We are really here to sign up for the imperial examination."
"Yes, of course, I had known that you were a great disciple of Doctor Du, I wouldn't have stopped you from signing up." The person in charge replied with a smile on his face.
Xiao Xuanxuan curled her lips and complained: "This uncle's face has changed too quickly!"
"Brother, stop talking. We are here to sign up, not to cause trouble." Di Renjie scolded.
The person in charge asked with a embarrassed face, "Is this young master also a disciple of Doctor Du?"
"He...he is not, he is my younger brother, named Didi!" Di Renjie replied.
Didi, brother? The name of this child is really interesting and so appropriate. His parents are not lazy and easy to be named like this, right? Many people laughed out loud.
This made Xiao Xuanxuan anxious and helpless. She thought to herself that the elder brother gave her a broken name and was laughed at to death! Anyone who sees me in the future will call me a younger brother. Isn’t this taking advantage of me?
The registration officer nodded and said, "Since he is the younger brother of the young master, he must be very talented. You can sign up."
Xiao Xuanxuan stomped her feet and said dissatisfiedly: "You are such a person who is so unprincipled. It turns out that you asked us to register not because our knowledge is enough to apply for the exam, but because of our identity?
Is this too snobbish? I want to go..."
Di Renjie covered his junior sister's mouth, apologized repeatedly and said, "I'm really sorry, my son is young and ignorant, offends, don't be as knowledgeable as him."
The person in charge was only a small official responsible for registration and statistics. He did not dare to offend the two people in front of him. He waved his hand and said sincerely: "It's okay, what this young master said is deeply ashamed.
But I want to explain that it is not about the power of the officials, but about the fact that there is no precedent for young people to register. In addition, there are too many registrations this year, and the court has put a huge pressure on preparing for the exam. If all children who have studied and read come to register, then we will not be able to tolerate so many people taking the exam.
The imperial court set up a scientific examination to select talents to be officials. Even if you are too young, it is difficult to arrange for local officials to be an official even if you pass the exam. So please forgive me, it is all for the overall situation.
Of course, the officials will report this matter accordingly. I believe that the court will take corresponding measures next year to improve this disadvantage."
Di Renjie held his junior sister and said, "Did you hear it? What people say is reasonable and well-founded. There are still many good people in this world. How can there be so many bad people that you can't fight? Do you know if you don't cause trouble in the future? Brother!"
He deliberately emphasized the word "Little Xuanxuan". Although she was dissatisfied, she could only cooperate and lowered her head to apologize.
After registration, the two left quickly and quietly, but the news in Chang'an City caused heated discussion among the people. Is a ten-year-old child taking the imperial examination? Is it true or false?
Those who know Di Renjie were not surprised, and they were very much looking forward to his success, but those who are not familiar are waiting to see Du Shaoqing's jokes. Who is not good to send? Send a baby to take the exam? Do you think the exam is a child playing house?
Even if you, Du Shaoqing, are the question-setting person, you wouldn't be so arrogant, right? Could it be that you still dare to give your disciple a thorough question?
Changsun Wuji listened to the servant's report and asked curiously: "Die Renjie? Yes, I heard that this is a prodigy. I sent someone to investigate before. It was Di Zhixun's son. It seems that the Buddhist incident in Shaolin Temple is related to him.
Strangely, I remember that Di Zhixun only has one son and one daughter, and has no second son. What happened to this nine-year-old?"
The servant replied, "Maybe he is a cousin at home. The child is very smart according to the bystanders, so he should not be fake.
Because Du Fuma only has a few disciples, except Di Renjie, the other few are not as old as Di Renjie. Di Renjie will not lie in public, after all, he signed up for the scientific examination."
Changsun Wuji smiled and seemed to have guessed, "Can't you lie in public? You missed someone. In addition to a group of disciples, Mr. Du also had a daughter. Isn't that little princess of the God of War just nine years old?"
"What? Master, do you mean, the one named Didi is the little princess? No, they all say it's a little boy...
Could it be that a woman is dressed as a man? This...but, but how could a girl take the scientific test?" The servant was shocked.
Changsun Wuji said as if he was pointing out: "Our prince-in-law has always liked to be foolish. When did he follow common sense?"
"Master, you are the chief examiner, you can't turn a blind eye to this, right? This is breaking the rules. How can the imperial examination be a joke?"
Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "No, he is Didi, so he is Didi, not a little princess. It doesn't do us any good to expose this. Your Majesty loves this granddaughter very much, and maybe even praises her to take the exam openly.
Remember, at this time, I can only pretend not to know and wait until the imperial examination before talking about everything.
I often hear people say that Du's disciples are all talented. I really want to see if they can make a big splash this time?"
There are many people who have guessed the same as Changsun Wuji. These are smart people, all of whom pretend to be confused and do not reveal or object, and I don’t know if they are waiting to see jokes.
Even Emperor Li Er guessed it after hearing this, and he smiled helplessly, saying that the great scholar Yu Shinan nodded, and he must have recognized Xuanxuan. This girl really has a trick. She knew that she would find Yu Shinan as her backer in the imperial examination, so she probably didn't even help Du Shaoqing.
In the mansion of Prime Minister Wei Zheng, a handsome young man was practicing calligraphy in the study. It was Wang Xuance, a disciple who was accepted by Wei Zheng in Luoyang.
Wei Zheng walked in with a smile, "Hahaha, Xuan Ce, you have an opponent in this scientific test, I guess this person will surprise you."
Wang Xuance stopped the pen in his hand, walked over and greeted the teacher respectfully, and then said with a smile: "The imperial examination is a selection of talents for the court, but for us students, it is a battlefield for the decisive battle in the world. If we cannot have one or two proud opponents on the battlefield, wouldn't it be a great regret?
I wonder who the master is talking about? Do you know the disciples?”
"I know, you might as well guess!" Wei Zheng looked at the disciple with praise.
Guess? Wang Xuance began to think and pondered: "I have always lived in a quiet place when I came to Chang'an. I don't know many people. Is it that... Is it Brother Huaiying?"
"It's Di Huaiying. You often tell me that Di Huaiying is a terrifying child. You may have met an opponent this time."
Wang Xuance said in surprise: "Is it really Brother Huaiying? My God, if I remember correctly, he seems to be only in his teens."
Wei Zheng smiled and said, "It's true, but he is Du Shaoqing's disciple, and no one dares to underestimate him, so age is not a problem. It is said that this child is old and Du Shaoqing has high expectations for him.
What do you think? Are you confident?”
Wang Xuance's eyes showed a strong sense of fighting: "I am confident that although my talent may not be as talented as Huaiying, he is young after all, and I have eaten more meals for several years than him, which is not worth it.
Master, if you win, will you win without any force?”
Wei Zheng was slightly stunned and said with a strange expression: "Boy, you win first. This has not started to compete yet. You have become a proud soldier? Not good!"
"Ahem, I know my mistake, I will be prepared for the battle in peace and never underestimate any opponent."
In the Du family's clinic, Cui Hao, who had been separated for a long time, came back. The brothers and brothers met very intimately. When Cui Hao heard that everyone was attending, he laughed and said, "It's great, Youdao is a brother who is fighting tigers..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of a problem and looked around. Han Yueming covered his mouth and smiled and reminded: "Don't worry, third junior brother, big cat is not here, and I went to Master Yu's house with my junior sister. It's been a long time since I took the junior sister."
Cui Hao sighed, "That's good, that's good. If the big cat eavesdrops on it, it will be troublesome if it makes another misunderstanding.
Youdao is a brother who beats the tiger. All of us are going to let the world see our strength. At that time, the imperial examinations are nothing. Let’s just wrap the top few!”
Before Chang Baicao could talk to Han Yueming, a low tiger roar in the yard, Cui Hao stood there on the spot, not even daring to look back, thinking that it wouldn't be such a coincidence, right?
Then Xiao Xuanxuan's giggle came, "Stern Brother, Xiao Miaomiao was very angry when she heard you say you wanted to take someone to beat him. You have to be careful..."
puff……
Cui Hao almost vomited blood, and quickly turned around and ran over to wave his hand to apologize: "Junior sister, please tell Xiao Miaomiao clearly. It's not me who said he was deliberately. I was going to hit another tiger, not Xiao Miaomiao. Don't let him run to my room to take revenge at night..."
"Oh? Is it? It depends on whether you have brought me a gift. If you don't come back for so long, should you compensate us?" Xiao Xuanxuan stretched out her hand and took the opportunity to blackmail her.
Cui Hao smiled relievedly, "This is natural. I have been busy with family affairs and can't get away with it. But I specially prepared this time when I came back. My brothers and sisters all have gifts, especially for you. I have sent someone to my master and my wife to my home.
By the way, I’ve brought gifts to Xiao Miaomiao too.”
Xiao Xuanxuan turned over and got off the tiger, ran up with a giggle, grabbed Cui Hao and said happily: "This is almost the same. I forgive you, I will tell you about it for Xiao Miaomiao."
Cui Hao habitually wanted to pick Xuanxuan up, but he reached out halfway and took it back. Chang Baicao smiled and said, "Why did the third senior brother suddenly meet? You used to be scrambling to hug the junior sister."
"Ahem, that's when the junior sister was still young, but now you see, she's so old, it's not suitable!
If you grow up a little longer, you will become a big girl. I don’t know how many young talents in Chang’an will fascinate you.” Cui Hao rubbed Xuanxuan’s hair and said.
"Oh, Senior Brother Third, what are you talking about? Who is the eldest girl? You are the eldest girl, he is the beautiful little princess!"
Xuanxuan slapped Cui Hao's hand away and stomped her feet and ran away shyly.
Han Yueming joked: "Yes, yes, beautiful little princess, our little princess will never grow up so carefree."
Xuanxuan, who was about to run to the door, turned around and grimaced and retorted: "Second Brother, you haven't grown up. I'll take the exam this time. Please pray that you are ahead of me. If you don't do the exam as good as me, hehe, I'll come here every day to laugh at you!
Little Miaomiao, let's go home quickly and see the gift."
Han Yueming couldn't smile anymore and gently slapped himself, "Hey, why am I talking too much? Now that I'm done, there's no peace!"
"Junior sister, why are you leaving just after coming back? I heard that the third junior brother is back, you..." Di Renjie's voice came from the yard. Xuanxuan hurriedly replied and ran away on the big cat. Di Renjie strode in.
When the brothers met, there was another greeting. Di Renjie was of course very moved by Cui Hao's proposal. The disciples of Dumen have been learning from his master for several years and have always been low-key. If they cannot make a big splash this time, they may be ridiculed by others.
Chang Baicao said: "If we all have our senior brothers on the list, I am extremely ashamed, but I think it is not a problem for you, senior brothers and third senior brothers, to win one second place. I have never heard of any powerful roles in Chang'an for years."
Cold Moon Bright:...
He didn't say anything because he had self-knowledge and had the confidence to be on the list, but he did not dare to underestimate the people of the world.
After all, Han Yueming was born into a down-and-out nobleman and knew that the water in the upper class of the Tang Dynasty was very deep, so no matter how powerful people were, they would not dare to be too presumptuous.
Unlike Chang Baicao, who was born in the countryside, he was in contact with the clinic all day long. It was no wonder that he would say such crazy words. The newborn calf was not afraid of a tiger and said this.
Cui Hao pointed out directly: "Young brother, don't say so much. You may not have seen the foundations of major families before. They are hidden and uncovered. If the family continues to flourish, it is necessary to ensure that talents will be produced from generation to generation. For this reason, each family will not hesitate to invest heavily.
In order to avoid premature death, these talents are all treated as treasures and are nurturing them in secret. After 20 years of careful training, they will never waste their efforts. As far as I know, it is an extremely clever and cruel selection of the best."
Chang Baicao said puzzledly: "Senior Brother, why are you said to be smart but cruel?"
Di Renjie said: "It's normal. If you want to choose the best, you have to eliminate the ones one by one. I believe that those who are eliminated will feel bad."
"Yes, people often pay attention to the winners like stars, while no one cares about the losers.
These so-called selection losers are actually basically all of them on the list every time the scientific exam, which shows that their abilities are also worthwhile.
This is the gap between civilians and real nobles." Cui Hao sighed.
Well, the brothers and sisters were silent.
After a long time, Di Renjie refused to accept it and said, "No matter what kind of aristocratic clan or elite, our books are not in vain. This time we will slap them in the face with our strength to let them know the power of civilians and knock them down. I think their faces must be very exciting!"
