After Liu Jinyuan finished reciting the Yan Family Instructions. Google Search Reading

Zhang Jiuling and Bai Gui were both a little surprised.

The Yan Family Instructions has more than 30,000 words, which is not less. Liu Jinyuan is very talented and intelligent if he can recite the Yan Family Instructions.

Since Zhang Jiuling is willing to teach Liu Jinyuan, he will not praise him too much. He just encouraged him and asked a few small questions in the Confucian classics to explain the words.

Liu Jinyuan answered them calmly one by one.

However, as the questions became more and more difficult, he began to have some difficulty answering.

"Your son is gifted and very smart."

"Teach him for another year or two, and participate in the Tongzi and Mingjing exams... maybe he will get something."

Zhang Jiuling said carefully.

He did not dare to say that Liu Jinyuan would definitely pass the imperial examination, so he could only say it ambiguously. If he said that he would definitely pass, he would blame him if he did not pass. But he used vague words, and after passing, they would still thank him as a teacher, and if they failed, they would not blame him too much.

"Tang Liu Yan, only seven years old. He was selected as a child prodigy and made a regular calligrapher." - "Three Character Classic"

In ancient times, the Tongzi Ke was very popular, and everyone from top to bottom liked child prodigies very much. In the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty, the Tongzi Ke was set as a regular subject. The difference between the regular subject and the regular subject is that the regular subject is an imperial examination that will be held once in a certain period of time, while the regular subject is held whenever the emperor wants to select talents, and the regular subject may be held once every few decades.

Yang Jiong, one of the Four Talents of the Early Tang Dynasty, passed the Tongzi Ke in the sixth year of Xianqing and was awarded the position of proofreader.

"For all Tongzi Ke, those under ten years old can master one classic and "The Book of Filial Piety" and "The Analects of Confucius", and recite ten articles. Those who can master them will be given an official position; those who can recite seven will be given a birth." - "New Book of Tang"

This sentence means that those who can recite ten articles in the Tongzi Ke will be granted an official position, and those who can recite seven will be granted a birth.

"Zishou is right."

"Jin Yuan is talented and it is not difficult to pass the Tongzi exam, but I want him to continue studying hard at home and polish his character. When the time comes, it will be better to take the Jinshi exam..."

Liu Youqiu, dressed in a purple robe, strode into the living room and smiled.

"Hello, Prime Minister Liu."

"Hello, Prime Minister Liu."

Bai Gui and Zhang Jiuling both stood up to greet him.

When Liu Youqiu returned to Liu's house, the atmosphere was indeed a lot more depressing in an instant.

It was not as relaxed and appropriate as before.

"Prime Minister Liu is right. It is not a good place to be granted an official position too early after taking the Tongzi exam."

"If you can take the Jinshi exam, try to take the Jinshi exam..."

Zhang Jiuling replied.

The big guys who can pass the Jinshi exam are not necessarily much worse than the prodigies of the Tongzi exam when they were young. It's just that both have their advantages. It is undoubtedly easier to take the Tongzi exam than the Jinshi exam. When you grow up, it will be more difficult to take the Jinshi exam. But in the same way, most of the candidates who passed the Tongzi exam were teenagers under ten years old, and sometimes they would not be granted official positions. Even if they were granted official positions, there would not be much benefit for those who passed the Tongzi exam to enter the officialdom early.

It depends on how the two choose.

The Liu family obviously intended Liu Jinyuan to take a more stable path.

Passing the Tongzi exam may not necessarily lead to a better career than passing the Jinshi exam.

It is not necessarily a good thing for a boy to become an official early.

"Zishou, Meihe, this is the teacher gift for applying for the position. You should accept it. I will send someone to deliver it to your residence later."

"As for teaching Jinyuan..."

"Since you two are applying for the position together, you can take out three days of teaching every month. Jinyuan has another teacher, and you two come here just to give him some pointers..."

Liu Youqiu said after a moment of hesitation.

"I understand this matter."

Bai Gui and Liu Jinyuan replied respectively.

Bai Gui originally planned not to take this job, but when he heard Liu Youqiu say that he would come three times a month, he thought that this was just a matter of convenience, and it would not take much effort to agree to it. Anyway, it was impossible to instruct Liu Jinyuan for too long a day. In fact, it was less than half a day a month.

But don't underestimate the three times of guidance a month.

Those who can become the top scholar and the third scholar must have great insights in the imperial examination. This thing is worth a lot of money, and ordinary people can't buy it even if they want to.

As for Liu Youqiu himself, Bai Gui still knows a little bit. Liu Youqiu passed the law section of the imperial examination during the Wu Zhou period and was ordered to be a county lieutenant, climbing up step by step.

Liu Youqiu was not from the Jinshi section.

Although there was no unspoken rule in the Tang Dynasty that those who were not admitted to the Hanlin Academy could not enter the cabinet as in the Ming Dynasty, the title of Jinshi section white-robed minister was not called for nothing. People from the Jinshi section had more opportunities than officials from other sections.

Liu Youqiu asked Liu Jinyuan to give Bai Gui and Zhang Jiuling a great gift of apprenticeship.

There were many items given as apprenticeship gifts, all of which were quite valuable.

Roughly worth about three or four hundred strings of money.

In Liu's house, the two improvised to teach Liu Jinyuan some knowledge.

When it was getting dark.

Coming out of Liu's house.

Bai Gui and Zhang Jiuling said goodbye to each other again and rode away on horseback.

Arrived at Jinxian Temple.

The female official asked Bai Gui to go to the back garden to meet Princess Jinxian.

"Brother Bai Dao..."

"This time, you and I left Shengyefang before the drums of dawn, which was considered a crime of night. An imperial envoy impeached my father..."

"They said that you and I..."

Princess Jinxian pursed her red lips, a little embarrassed, "They said that you and I, a single man and a single woman, riding on a phoenix chariot, were immoral and ruined the reputation of the royal family. My father scolded me, and then..."

Hearing this, Bai Gui couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Ruined the reputation of the royal family?

The reputation of the Li Tang royal family and the reputation of the princess, this... is there still room for decline? !

Since Princess Gaoyang asked Fang Yiai, the son-in-law of the emperor, to guard outside the door while she fell in love with Monk Bianji, a disciple of Tang Xuanzang, the reputation of the princesses of the Li Tang royal family has been trampled underfoot countless times.

Now Princess Taiping has countless concubines. During the Wu Zhou period, she occasionally sent a few to Wu Zetian...

"What does the saint say?"

Bai Gui sighed.

Now that Emperor Ruizong of Tang Li Dan has not sent troops to arrest him, it seems that this matter has not reached an irreversible point. If it were other dynasties, he would not dare to ride a phoenix chariot with the princess, but who would have thought that something that was common in the Tang Dynasty would make trouble for him.

This matter is in a gray area.

You can make trouble for him, or you can't.

It all depends on Emperor Ruizong of Tang.

However, according to Bai Gui's guess, this was just an excuse that Emperor Ruizong of Tang, Li Dan, secretly wanted to use to force him to "voluntarily" marry Princess Jinxian as his wife and become the son-in-law of the emperor.

Although he said he had a wife, in this world, he really had no marriage contract. Xiagui Bai's parents died early, and his brother Baihuang took care of him. After becoming an official, he had been traveling outside and had not arranged a marriage for him.

With his double champion status and handsome face, it can be said that the dignitaries in Chang'an were eyeing him and wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law. However, everyone saw that the emperor intended to recruit him as a son-in-law, so they suppressed their thoughts and did not dare to compete with the emperor for the son-in-law.
