Chapter 232 I am not worthy, main mission
Jiang Youzhen: ...Actually, this teacher is not stupid.
"You can review the Four Books and Five Classics by yourself, and you will have a photographic memory and remember them after reading them once." Master Jiang said as he casually pulled out a book from the table and handed it to Jiang Youzhen.
"Turn to the fifth one, read it once and recite it to me."
Jiang Youzhen took it and found it was a travel book. There were quite a few words on this page, especially many unfamiliar place names.
Seeing Mr. Jiang's serious face, Jiang Youzhen thought for a moment and decided to forget it! He was probably discovered, and it would be impolite to hide his shortcomings.
She quickly began to take notes, and in just a few breaths, Jiang Youzhen had memorized everything.
"Have you memorized it now?" Mr. Jiang took the book, then took a deep breath and asked Jiang Youzhen to start reciting.
Jiang Youzhen did not hesitate, but as she recited, Mr. Jiang's expression became more solemn.
"You actually memorized two pages in such a short time?" His original intention was to let Jiang Youzhen recite one page, but he didn't expect Jiang Youzhen to recite two pages in such a short time.
Jiang Youzhen suddenly felt a little embarrassed. This skill was simply too amazing. Thanks to the system. The system is so great.
"In that case, you are really wasting your talent here." Master Jiang hesitated for a moment, sighed, and finally made up his mind: "I wanted to accept you as my disciple, but then I thought about it carefully and realized that I am just a student, I am not worthy!"
Jiang Youzhen: ...There's no need to be so blunt and self-deprecating. It makes me feel embarrassed.
"Master, what you said really makes me ashamed. I haven't even finished studying the Four Books and Five Classics yet, but you are a respected scholar. I can benefit a lot from your guidance. This is my honor. How can I say I am unworthy of you?"
Jiang Youzhen's words made Master Jiang very happy. Although he said that he was not worthy, he had achieved great success and still had some nobleness of a scholar.
"I have carefully considered the matter of accepting you as my disciple, and I'd better give up! After all, I am just a student, and I am still a little incapable of teaching you. One day you will definitely blame me for ruining your future."
"How could that be? Students feel that improving themselves is the most important thing." Although Jiang Youzhen didn't want to become a disciple, since the other person said so, it would be impolite for her not to say a few words of comfort.
"Well, I have a close friend who comes from an aristocratic family. His mentor is a retired university scholar, who was also the enlightenment mentor of the prince. He is highly respected and respected by the court and the public. Although he is not from an aristocratic family, the children of his family have already made their mark in recent years, so he still has a lot of connections."
Master Jiang took a sip of tea and said, "Jiang Youzhen, do you know what is the most important thing in the imperial examination to enter the officialdom?"
Jiang Youzhen said without hesitation: "Strategy, background, and connections."
Mr. Jiang looked over with some surprise. He had known for a long time that Jiang Youzhen was not simple-minded, nor was he some ignorant farm boy, but he was still surprised by his insight.
"That's right! You have all these strategies, but being born in poverty is not your choice. It is also your humble background that leads to your lack of connections. You have to know that in the officialdom, if you don't have connections, it will be difficult to move forward. Even if you have great strategies, there is no place to use them. Only if the powerful officials appreciate and promote you, you can save yourself many years of detours."
"I am grateful for your advice." Although Jiang Youzhen felt that she might not enter the officialdom in the future, she was still grateful for what Mr. Jiang said from the bottom of his heart today.
"And this scholar is upright, but not pedantic. He once said that talent is not determined by origin, and if there is a person he likes, he can be accepted as a disciple even if he comes from a poor family. I will write a letter of recommendation and send it to my good friend, asking him to mediate."
"Ah?" Jiang Youzhen was a little dumbfounded.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be this way. As long as the teacher gives us guidance from time to time, it will be the same."
Jiang Youzhen panicked. If he accepted the master, then he would not take the imperial examination. Wouldn't the master kill him and chop him up, chop him up and kill him again? It would be a complete waste of love, and he would take up the master's place.
Of course, she never thought that others would not accept her as a disciple, she was just that confident.
"Hey~ I know you don't want to cause me trouble, but I've made up my mind. You have such a talent, you can't waste your time. Reading is not just about the Four Books and Five Classics, writing articles is a science. Okay, it's decided. I'll write a letter later, you take it back to your family leader and let him know."
After Jiang Youzhen finished speaking, Master Jiang waved his hand and said without waiting for Jiang Youzhen to explain: "Go! Study more. It's not easy to become a disciple of a university scholar. His examination of homework is not like mine. It is quite strict."
"No, Master, I can actually study on my own first and then consider becoming your disciple."
Mr. Jiang frowned, and suddenly thought of Jiang Heng's words, saying that this kid didn't want to take the imperial examination, so what could be done?
"You are still young, and you don't fully understand the principles of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. Go back and think about it carefully! This matter is settled now."
Jiang Youzhen was a little anxious. Don't wait to become his disciple. You can't run away even if you want to.
She took a deep breath and said, "Master, I'm telling you the truth..."
【System opens the main storyline. Main storyline task 1: Please sign in at the county palace within one year. The duration is one day. Dear host, the system has chosen the most suitable path for you. Pass the imperial examination and become an official with power over the world. Become an existence that people look up to! The strong combination of the host and the system is the value of the existence of this system. Fight! Girl, you are the best.】
Jiang Youzhen: …
"To tell you the truth..." Jiang Youzhen paused, "I am so grateful to you. Your sincere love for me has touched me deeply. People like you who are of high moral character will surely be respected."
Master Jiang immediately stroked his goatee with satisfaction, "It's best if you can figure it out! It's worth my good intentions. But don't be too grateful, after all, whether they accept you or not depends on your own luck."
In fact, Master Jiang really wanted to accept Jiang Youzhen as his apprentice, but he still curbed his selfishness. He knew that he was not worthy.
His second son will also be born next year and will also pursue a career in government. Jiang Youzhen is so talented that when he rises to prominence in the future, he only needs to remember this kindness and help Tan'er. That is his own good fortune.
Mr. Jiang didn't expect that a small act of kindness today would receive such a huge reward in the future.
Jiang Youzhen returned to the study, complaining non-stop along the way.
"You are such a good man, who told you to choose for me on your own initiative? I saw that there is also an option to make a fortune by farming."
Just now, Jiang Youzhen opened the system panel and found that there was a choice of attributes for the general direction of life on it.
There are three choices: one is to make a fortune through farming, two is engineering and construction, and three is to become an official through imperial examination. These three choices are probably related to the subsequent system task rewards.
Not only did the system not inform me or give me any prompts, but most importantly, it automatically selected the third option.
