When it was Tao Yuchen's turn to hand in the papers, it was already the last moment of the Shen brand, and the red was slanted westward.

Although the Tang Governor's Mansion still maintained a fast marking speed, when he saw his article, he still couldn't help but stop. Stretched out his hand to take the volume, read it twice, nodded again and again, and laughed loudly: "How can you read this Jiawen without wine?" Hurry up and get drunk! Then a small official came up with a glass of water and wine, and the Tang prefect drank it all and said to Tao Yuchen: "I made up my mind this morning, and if I can't see a good article, I will never rest." If it weren't for you, the old man would probably be exhausted. With a wave of his hand, he said, "That's it for today, hand in the rest of the papers first, and then read it tomorrow." ”

Many candidates breathed a sigh of relief, the pressure on them to mark the papers in person was too great, and they still handed them in and went home to wait for the results, which dragged on day by day.

But Shen Mo's nose was about to be crooked, and his heart said Aren't you kidding me...... Because he's the next one to turn in. You must know that not everyone is afraid of reading papers in person, people like him who do well in articles and look like positive characters, I am afraid that the examiner has not seen him...... No matter how objective the eight-strand essay is, it is still a subjective question, and the impression score is also a subjective score.

Shen Mo's heart was like a mirror, and he knew that this was certainly not a coincidence. The reason why Lao Tang wanted to play himself was purely because he refused to join the 'Ten Sons of Vietnam'...... It is the mobile version of Najishan Academy. He clearly remembered that at that time, Old Tang smiled at him: "You will definitely regret it......"

In fact, as soon as he saw that Lao Tang became the main examiner, he knew that retribution was coming, but the examination room was not a place to reason, so he could only go up with his head down, ready to hand in the papers and leave...... But he wasn't too worried: 'I'm honest in answering the papers, and I don't believe you can get another county head.' ’

Just when Shen Mo had already accepted his fate, Tao Yuchen beside him arched his hand and spoke: "Sir, you might as well take a last look at the one behind me, maybe you can see a good article." Compared with the county exam in February, he is much calmer now, his demeanor is neither humble nor arrogant, and his speech is also very measured.

Shen Mo looked at classmate Tao in surprise, and Tang Shunzhi also said to Tao Yuchen quite unexpectedly: "You seem to be the second leader of the Ji, right?" ”

Tao Yuchen nodded and said, "Mr. is wise, and the student is exact." ”

"And you're still there?" Tang Shunzhi asked with interest. Although he didn't ask all the questions, the person concerned understood that he was asking, 'Why are you helping your opponent?' ’

Tao Yuchen smiled and said, "Students are afraid that they will not be able to win." ”

Tang Shunzhi was stunned when he heard this, and then patted him on the shoulder and laughed: "Tao Yuchen, a frank gentleman!" As he spoke, he winked his eyes at Shen Mo.

What a person who was silent and enlightened, he immediately understood that Lao Tang was mocking him for looking ahead and backwards, worrying too much, and being a 'long-term relative' villain, so he almost fainted, so he smiled at classmate Tao: "Brother Tao is really a gentleman who values righteousness and virtue." ”

Fang Cai Tang Shunzhi used the words in the "Analects" to satirize Shen Mo, and now Shen Mo also uses the "Analects" in the "Gentleman Values Righteousness, the Villain Values Profit", "The Gentleman Huaide, the Villain Huai Tu", and returned it to Old Man Tang twice, ridiculing him for just thinking about strengthening the organization, and even threatening himself with his authority, he is really a villain who 'values profit and cherishes the soil'...... Therefore, if you are uneducated, you won't even be able to hear others scolding you, let alone scolding you back.

The two of them completed a mean scolding by praising and thanking Tao Yuchen, and they were both very good at hiding, and others couldn't hear any clues. It's just that the poor kind-hearted Tao gentleman still didn't know that he was used as a tool for scolding by the two villains, and he still said modestly: "Mr. praised it falsely." "Senior brother has already spoken."

It's really good people who always suffer, and bad guys take advantage!

Fortunately, Shen Mo and Lao Tang have no enmity, but they are just internal contradictions in the gang. The Tao classmates have put on such a high profile, and the Tang Governor's Mansion is just like his own name, 'Shun'.

As soon as he got the silent scroll, Tang Governor's somewhat playful expression was stunned for a moment, he never imagined that such a cunning and mellow Shen Cunyan could actually write a scroll like an old Confucian...... The volume written by the neat pavilion body is like a printed one, so that people can't find the slightest fault, which is enough to qualify for the student examination.

After all, the third-level examination of the county government and the academy is only a preparatory examination for the imperial examination, so the examiner focuses on examining the potential of students. And those who can write this kind of words are at least patient, hardworking, and not afraid of boring. With these qualities, fame is only a matter of time, so the examiners are happy to admit such students.

After the surprise, he read the silent article again, and he was greeted with even greater surprise...... I saw that the system of his two eight-strand works was simple, the calligraphy was pure and dense, the tone was harmonious, and the tone was familiar. Every detail is just right, and the combination is two texts that are hidden in the eyes of the Dharma...... It is the kind that can be used as a text for people all over the world.

Putting Shen Mo and Tao Yuchen's articles together, Tang Shunzhi carefully compared and read them, and then shook his head and smiled: "Some people say that Wen is like his person, but I don't think so." Saying that, he pointed at Tao Yuchen and said: "You are obviously an honest person, but the article is strange and dangerous, which is thrilling, and it can be described as treacherous." Then he looked at Shen Mo and said, "You obviously ...... Be more flexible. In fact, he wanted to say, 'You are not honest', but in front of so many candidates, this kind of thing must not be spoken: "The article is done in a stable and upright manner, which can be described as the right way." ”

Seeing that it was getting late, Lord Fuzun would not look at the papers anymore, so the candidates went to the side to hand in the papers, and then came back to see the excitement.

Seeing that there were more and more candidates around him, Tang Shunzhi simply raised his voice and said: "If this is a general exam, or even a township exam, the examiner will not hesitate to judge that the right path is born." "These people are nominally students of the prefect, and of course he has to do some obligation.

Silent but unhappy in his heart, he secretly said: "It must be the desire to suppress the first to rise." ’

"However, the government examination is only an entrance exam," sure enough, listening to Lao Tang's words, he said: "The standard of evaluation is different from the formal imperial examination, and it should be based on the examination of ability." ”

Shen Mo's heart was cold, and he secretly lamented: "Six dreams, this will fly away first......

"So," I only heard the Tang prefect say in a deep voice: "I announce ......"

The examination room was silent, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the moment when the first case of this government was released. Many people who know Tao Yuchen have already begun to conceive congratulatory speeches.

But I heard the prefect say unhurriedly: "The two of them are in the same five kui, and for the time being, there is no difference between victory and defeat, and when the official finishes all the papers, three more will be selected, and one more test will be taken, and finally the seats will be arranged." ”

After making trouble for a long time, it turned out to be a 'TBD', isn't this appetizing? Everyone sighed in disappointment.

The silence was numb...... When everyone left the arena one after another, Tang Shunzhi suddenly stopped the silence and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Do you want to join?" In the eyes of others, this is the prefect's appropriation of promising post-studies, and they are very envious.

Shen Mo shook his head resolutely and said softly, "I don't." ”

Tang Shunzhi rolled his eyes in anger and whispered, "Then don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

"Only for justice......," he said silently and softly, bowed to him, and then turned to leave.

Looking at his infinitely elongated figure in the sunset, Tang Shunzhi smiled strangely, and said to himself: "Not bad, not bad." ”

The imperial examination is both mental and physical work, especially nitpicking like silence, which is a great burden on the body and mind. He was tired to death as soon as he finished the exam, and if there was no Father Yao to pick him up, it would be a great burden to walk home.

When he returned to his eldest son's house, he ate a few bites of food in silence, said sorry to Aunt Yao, who had carefully prepared dinner, and went back to the room to sleep.

I don't know how long he slept, as if his body and mind were much more relaxed, and he began to dream again, this time he dreamed that Tang Shunzhi took his 'Ten Sons of Yuezhong', tied himself to the ship, forced himself to kowtow to Wang Shengren, and carved words on the soles of his feet...... The left foot is the 'king's gate', and the right foot is the 'scholar', and together they are the king's scholars.

It's just that the soles of his feet are tickled so much that he can't help laughing and laughing: "Tickle, ticklish......"

He woke up with this smile, and when he saw that Shen Jing was scratching the soles of his feet with a goose feather, he couldn't help but be annoyed: "Disturbing people's dreams is going to hell!" ”

Shen Jing smiled at the eldest son on the side, "Learned, right?" Wake him up like this next time. ”

The eldest son nodded seriously and said, "It's really faster and better than my method." ”

Ignoring the two bad friends, he opened the curtains, and the warm sunlight shone on his face. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Today is good, the sun is not poisonous." ”

"It's past noon, and of course the sun isn't poisonous." Shen Jingwei smiled: "You laugh at me for starting from the top three poles, but you sleep until the next three poles." ”

Shen Mo was a little embarrassed, so he put on his shoes, got up, and changed the topic: "What's the matter?" ”

"The list of government exams is out." Shen Jingdao: "You are one of the five leaders, but the top five are not scheduled. ”

The eldest son answered: "The prefect's yamen has come to spread the word that the lord of the mansion will have a banquet for the five of you in the evening. ”

Shen sighed and said, "Please help me make a bowl of noodles." ”

"You're going to sit down, do you want to eat first?" Shen Jing fussed.

"Who do you see who can eat at the Hongmen banquet?" Shen Mo sneered.

"Yes, Fan Xu......"
