The lights are like a long dragon in the night, gathering in front of the Tribute Courtyard. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info candidates gathered. The noise was loud. The first test of Beizhili Township is today!

The triennial big competition, the Beijing division up and down the attention.

The imperial examination of the dynasty is like the old system of the Ming Dynasty, which is divided into two lists: north and south. The regions with the strongest strength in the national imperial examination are: the north and south of the country, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Huguang. The township test of Beizhili has always attracted the attention of Shilin.

Moreover, Fang Wangfang Fengjiu, the president of this township test and the master of literature, has already said: The level of talent will be judged, not by age. At that time, it is very likely that the minimum age line for lifting people in the national dynasty will be refreshed.

This is a major event in reforming the unspoken rules of admission to the imperial examination. Since the establishment of the Emperor Zhou, there has been no atmosphere of praising prodigies. When encountering a prodigy in the field, he has always had to imitate the old things of Gu Ling and Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty.

However, one hundred and fifty-six years after the emperor and Zhou enjoyed the country, a great master of the literary world finally stood up, intending to reform the old system and guide the atmosphere of the scientific field.

A faint morning light appeared on the edge of the sky, a pale fish white. In front of the tall dragon gate, a row of fifty scholars rearranged their clothes and carried examination baskets to prepare for admission after being searched.

Jia Huan and Luo Xiangyang are both from Wanping County, Beijing, and they entered together from the "Yu" Gate, one of the four entrances in the Longmen.

Luo Junzi changed into a blue shirt, slightly bulging his small belly, chubby, took a deep breath, and said with a confident smile: "Ziyu, please!" ”

Jia Huan's thin figure was conspicuous among the scholars with an average age of more than twenty, wearing an ordinary straight jacket and flat cloth shoes, nodding and smiling: "Changwen, please!" ”

Luo Junzi's long text was given by the mountain chief Zhang Anbo. He can write the name of the mountain chief when he fills in the karma teacher at the head of the test paper.

After being humble, Jia Huan smiled, took the first step, and walked into the examination room, his heart fluctuating.

Since the eight years of Yongzhi, it has been two years since he studied literature in the cold, summer, spring and autumn. There is no need to describe the hardships of hard reading. Then go to the field, like a general entering the battlefield. I have the will to fight in my heart, and I will want to be on the list.

After two years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has never been tried.

Show you today, there is injustice in your heart!

…

…

In the morning light, a wave of scholars entered in turn. There is a handsome Confucian shirt boy Wei prodigy entered, there was a handsome and handsome senior brother Sun Liang with a calm face, Qiao Rusong with a kind personality and plain appearance entered, Pang Ze with an ugly appearance and a big nose entered, and Xu Yinglang, the son of Hanlin who has a lively personality and today, entered...

In the examination room, in the public hall, the examiners of the township examination: the official Feng Jiu of the president, the official of the township examination, the internal and external invigilators of the township examination, the imperial history of the seven products in Beijing, the imperial history of the patrol, and the four officials of the outer curtain: the volume official, the sealing official, the transcription officer, and the reading officer; The examiners such as the prison officer, the inspector, and the superintendent have already paid homage to the Holy Master in the public hall, and they are in their respective positions.

As the gate of the Gongyuan closed, outside the Gongyuan, the long crowd of people slowly subsided, and all kinds of noisy sounds disappeared in an instant.

After all the candidates entered the venue, the sound of the cloud board sounded and the exam began.

…

…

During the township test, the imperial court continued to operate and continued to work as usual. On the afternoon of the 26th, Jia Zheng sat in his official residence in the official office of the Ministry of Industry, and was bored to read the newspapers and official documents of the imperial court.

Jia Zheng was born as a shadow official, and he was not in harmony with the officials who were born on the right path of the imperial examination, coupled with his pedantic personality, and he was an idle official in the Ministry of Industry.

A clerk in his thirties came in from outside the official residence and placed a stack of official documents on Jia Zheng's desk. Seeing that Jia Zheng was in a good mood, he smiled and complimented: "How can Daddy Zheng still sit still?" The first test of the township test has already been completed, and Ling Gongzi is afraid that he has already given the president a spot. ”

Today, the president of the North Zhili Township Test official Feng Jiu has already spoken. And the youngest candidate in this subject is Jia Huan, the third son of the political father.

Jia Zheng's face froze, and after a few seconds, he put down the Di Bao and said modestly: "Mr. Wangxi, Tianxia Sect." The dog is only a shallow learner, how can he get the president's blue eye? ”

How did the officials know that the father-son relationship between Jia Zheng and Jia Huan had broken down? Only protégés like Fu Zhan, who are close to Jia Zheng, have heard of it. The clerk smiled and complimented him a few words, and took a stack of official documents drawn by Jia Zheng and went out.

Jia Zheng drank tea, looked at the official document on the desk, and felt some unspeakable feelings in his heart. How could he not know that son of a son who was famous in the capital and qualified for the township examination?

He has loved reading since he was a child, but he never went to the field when he studied, and finally became a shadow official. This is a deep regret in his heart.

He may now be faced with a question that irritates him: if that son of evil is lifted, what will Jia Fu do to him?

What kind of future does a person who is less than eleven years old mean, can he not know?

It's not that he hasn't read the history books of the former Ming Dynasty.

…

…

In the afternoon, the autumn breeze is cool and the chrysanthemums are fragrant. Mother Jia wiped dominoes with Aunt Xue, Sister Feng, and Mrs. Xing in a flower hall in the inner house. The mandarin duck wore a light blue cardigan and made an idea on the side. There was also a group of maids and mothers-in-law accompanying them in the hall.

Playing a three-six, Jia Mu sighed leisurely. The flower hall where he was laughing immediately fell silent.

Sister Feng is an understanding person, and clapped her hands with a smile: "It's over, the ancestor is not happy when he loses the money, and he wants to invite us to a meal." I said that everyone should lose a few games, and the ancestor would be happy to win back, so please have a drink. ”

"You monkey!" Mother Jia was dressed as a rich old lady, scolded Wang Xifeng with an angry smile, turned her head and asked Mandarin Duck: "How many days have you been?" ”

The mandarin duck knew very well what the old lady was asking, and replied, "It's the fourth day." Today, I will test the Five Classics, edicts, judgments, tables, and edicts. ”

As soon as the mandarin duck's voice fell, Aunt Xue's heart moved. And Mrs. Xing's acting skills are not up to par, and her face shows a look of surprise. Even if they are women in the inner house, they know that the capital is now taking a rural test. Outside after tea and dinner, this matter was discussed. It's just that there are still brothers in Jiafu who are taking exams this year. And thinking about the relationship between Jia Fu and Jia Huan, this idea in my heart is only a little subtle.

Wang Xifeng already knew what was going on, and drank tea without moving. If Jia Huan misses, everything is easy to say. He's sure he'll have to go back to his academy. If Jia Huan is hit, things will be a little troublesome.

Jia Mu nodded, "Let's take a look." "She's seen a lot of things in her life.

Several people present immediately understood Jia's mother's attitude.

The mandarin duck said sharply: "Ancestor, don't worry, I'm paying attention." ”

…

…

The night gradually fell into darkness. The magnificent gardens and houses of Jiafu are shrouded. Under the night, there was a surge of anxiety caused by Jia Huan's exam.

The top and bottom of the Jia Mansion understand that if the third master of Huan is promoted, the attitude and position of the mansion towards him may have some problems. I just don't know what the master above thinks.

Because of the dominoes, Wang Xifeng stayed at Jia's mother to eat. It just so happened that Baoyu and Daiyu came over for dinner. At night, the lights are lit up, and the hall is busy setting up meals.

Mandarin ducks, Ping'er, and raiders met in the elegant small room next to the flower hall. They all entered Jiafu together. When they met, all three of them were smiling and talking. If you look at the appearance, you will take Ping'er as the most. Handsome and decent. If you talk about age and power, it is headed by mandarin ducks.

Ping'er was wearing a colorful skirt, with a handsome and bright temperament, and asked with a smile, "Why are you following the second master today?" ”

It's a joke. Before, he fell out of favor in front of Baoyu, but now he has become the chief maid in Bao's second master's room again. This location is often a big house.

The attacker had a slender figure, white and clean, wearing a pink tooth-pinching vest, and said with a smile: "Just do your fault, see if I don't tear your mouth." "Her relationship with Bao Er Ye has not yet reached that point. Flattering talent is.

The mandarin duck smiled and separated the two, "Don't make trouble, wait inside." The mandarin duck sent a mother-in-law to deliver the food in. She stayed to talk to her sisters.

The attacker thought about things a lot, and asked the mandarin duck in a low voice, "What's the matter, I heard that you have been inquiring about the exam outside recently?" As he spoke, he glanced at the brightly lit flower hall inside.

Ping'er pricked up her ears.

The mandarin duck chuckled, "What do you think." If the third master wins, the newspaper outside will come to report the good news, and the house will not give a reward? You can't let people see the jokes in the house and lose face. That's when I was paying attention. ”

She knows what the old lady thinks. But there are some things that she is not very good at saying. She was actually looking forward to the third master in her heart. She felt that the third master had suffered so much, and it was a little unfair to miss it.

Ping'er also hopes that the third master of Huan can win. Once the third master returns home, the second master and grandma are estimated to not quarrel anymore. She's been suffering from splints again these days. It is said that the second master of Lian wanted to raise fans outside, and scolded his grandmother.

The attacker also hoped that the third master of the ring would be lifted. Because the third master was moved, the second master of Bao will definitely not provoke him again, saving a lot of trouble.

…

…

In the middle of the night, in the small courtyard next to the East Cross Courtyard, Aunt Zhao was secretly laughing in the house. Brother Huan is angry! Be sure to hit. Xiao Que and Xiao Jixiang smiled helplessly. The third master is really going to win, and my aunt and grandmother are afraid that they will go crazy with joy. The two of them had to be on guard.

At the same time, in the East Cross Courtyard, Mrs. Wang chanted Buddha with an expressionless face. Jia Zheng stayed at Aunt Zhou's place overnight.

…

…

On the morning of the 30th, the clouds were light and the sky was high. Autumn is lingering. After Jia Baoyu greeted the old lady and parents in the morning, she went to play in Daiyu's room. And the sisters and sisters are all playing chess in the third sister's spring house at this time.

Daiyu wore a green shirt, made it on a chair by the window, and chanted the famous poem in the Tang Dynasty: "Where is the sunset township, the Yanbo River makes people sad." "The feeling of homesickness flows from the textured, melodious sound like a flute.

Baoyu saw that her heart was itching, and she wanted to get close to Daiyu, so she leaned over and said, "Sister, are you homesick?" In the future, I beg the old lady to change this yard and keep it exactly like your home. ”

Daiyu couldn't help but sneer. Although he is young, he has a charming and graceful charm, such as the beauty brewed by the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River. Jiao Baoyu glanced at it, covered her mouth and smiled: "What nonsense are you talking about, you haven't been to my house in Yangzhou." Hey, someone wants to be lifted, but your brother can't be it. ”

Baoyu smiled wryly, and then said depressedly: "My sister knows, I am separated from my mother by him." Hmph, I can't afford to be his brother. ”

Daiyu chuckled. Her father was born in Sanding Jiatanhua. She knows how hard it can be. I was a little curious about Brother Huan. At less than eleven years old, how did he do this?

It seems that most of the people in the house think that he can win, and there is a feeling of blind superstition about him. Even her eldest girl, Zijuan, thinks he can win, but the difficulty of the township test is very high. (To be continued.) )
