As the first township test since Emperor Wanli ascended the throne, Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the dynasty, came to be the main exam, which was originally the desire of the people. However, because Zhang Juzheng's eldest son Zhang Jingxiu ended up this year, Lord Shoufu wanted to express his high wind and brightness and avoid suspicion, and Lu Tiaoyang, the second assistant, naturally took the main exam. And Zhang Siwei, the head of the Hanlin Academy, resolutely resigned from the deputy chief examiner, and this position belonged to another master of the school, Wang Xilie. As for the same examiners, a group of talented officials from the Hanlin Academy and the Zhan Shifu were selected from the Hanlin Academy and the Zhan Shifu to lock the academy and mark the papers within a few days after the end of the examination.

Among the thousands of lifters, 300 students were selected to participate in the palace examination, which is almost a ratio of 1 out of 10, which is naturally a very high admission rate compared to the ratio of 50 or even 80 to 1 in Nanzhili and Jiangxi and Zhejiang. Even so, there is still no shortage of people who are famous in the local area and still fall off the list. And those who participated in the examination in this subject, as well as the eldest son who was the first assistant of the court, whether it was the chief and deputy examiners, or the same examiners, there was some kind of indescribable emotion in their hearts. There are even people who have tried Lu Tiaoyang's intentions, but the elders of Lu Tiaoyang's three dynasties, and Yan Song, the minister of power, are very helpless to him, not to mention others?

As a result, under the pretending to be deaf and dumb, Lu Tiaoyang, who was the main examiner, quickly reached an agreement on the issue of the middle and wrong of certain important figures. The same examiner's recommendation papers came to the front of the principal and deputy examiners one after another, but the undercurrent was only understood by the parties themselves. In the eyes of ordinary people, the marking process is in full swing but proceeds smoothly and orderly.

Outside the Gongyuan, many candidates are speculating about who will be the Yuanhua of the current department. It's just that this kind of thing is always just people's words. It's rare to guess a year. Only those who are famous in the provinces will be brought out and talked about. Besides. Everyone knows that Zhang Jingxiu, the eldest son of the current first assistant Zhang Juzheng, also participated in this examination, and Zhang Jingxiu is only twenty-one years old this year, and many people are speculating whether he will win in one fell swoop.

On the day the list was released, Wang Fulin did not have the interest of taking Xiaobei to join in the fun before. Just two days ago, he just sent Shuai Jiamo away, and now the house is completely peaceful, and he has nothing to do to write miscellaneous things, but he is also free. It is rare that Cheng Naixuan did not leave the Xu family to come to him today. Obviously, he was afraid that the results of the list would be sent to the Xu family, and he would miss out, so Wang Fulin was even happier to be idle. At this moment, there were Jinbao Qiufeng and Ye Xiaopang sitting in front of him with big eyes, especially the last one who was the most impatient, looking around in that one, scratching his ears and cheeks, and finally suddenly burst out with a sentence.

"Why is it so slow!"

"Look at this hour, the list is estimated to have just been taken out, and it needs to be pasted. Then the newspapers have to run all over the city to report the good news, if there is that hope. It would have to be at least a quarter of an hour later. Wang Fulin said this casually, and at the same time pondered with a pen whether he wanted to write a book of golden bottles and plums for recreation. It's just that he had heard a saying in the past, that is, the real author of the golden bottle plum is likely to be Wang Daokun, and even swore that the geography of a certain city where Ximenqing lived was similar to Huizhou Mansion and many other reasons. If that's the case, if he wants to write it, he will directly dismantle his uncle's desk, which seems a bit unauthentic.

But Wang Daokun is such a serious person, can he really be the Lanling Xiaoxiao who writes about the golden bottle of plums? Having said that, he remembered that he had seen Wanli Ye being edited back then, and the author Shen Defu had sworn that the author of the Golden Bottle Plum was a famous person in Jiajingjian, and if it was said in that way, whether it was Wang Shizhen or Wang Daokun, there was indeed a lot of possibility. Of course, he is not familiar with the golden bottle plum to the point of unforgettable, it is estimated that it is quite suspenseful to reproduce a copy, but he still remembers some of the poems at the beginning......

Thinking so in his heart, he unconsciously put down the pen: "The poem says: After the luxury goes, the pedestrians are absolute, and the zither does not sing and swallow." The sword has no prestige and brilliance, and the treasure qin is scattered and the Venus is extinguished. The jade steps are lonely and fall autumn dew, and the moon shines at the time of singing and dancing. At that time, the singers and dancers did not return, and turned into today's Xiling ashes. ”

But as soon as a few lines were written, Wang Fulin heard a voice beside him: "Brother-in-law, this poem is not very good." ”

Wang Fulin turned his head and saw that it was Ye Xiaopang who didn't know when he came to his side, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "Oh, how can you see that this poem is not good?" ”

"It's too plain, and the battle is not so smooth, and the rhyme and artistic conception are not good, brother-in-law, you did it?"

Seeing that the little fat man asked the last sentence, he was a little cautious, Wang Fulin couldn't help laughing, and casually wrote Lin Daiyu's apricot curtain in the dream of Red Mansions. Ye Xiaopang is now also a person who has studied with Mr. Ke and Mr. Fang for many years, and when he saw the beginning of "Apricot Curtain Invites Guests to Drink, There is a Mountain Villa in Sight", he pouted his lips slightly, and when he saw "Lingjing Goose Water, Mulberry Elm Swallow Liang", he was slightly moved. When Wang Fulin wrote the last four sentences together, he couldn't help but read it out loud: "A wisp of spring leeks is green, and ten miles of rice flowers are fragrant." There is no hunger in the prosperous world, so why be busy with farming and weaving. ”

At the end of the reading, he shouted: "Brother-in-law, your poem is really enough to praise the saints, especially the last line!" ”

"Little fat man, I didn't write it." Wang Fulin smiled and knocked twice on Ye Xiaopang's head, and seeing that his face was full of doubts, he narrowed his eyes and said, "It was written by a famous person named Cao Zhan, known as Xueqin." ”

"Don't listen to your brother-in-law fooling you." Xiaobei happened to come in, and saw that Jinbao and Qiu Feng were talking to each other, so she said angrily, "He has also been deceived like this before, and he said that he knew a certain celebrity, and he also publicized other people's poems everywhere, in fact, he really wanted to find it, no one could find where that person was, and last time he even fooled the prince of Linhuai Hou." If you want me to say, God knows what messy books he saw in books that no one else knew about so many good and bad poems, but no one else had ever heard of them. ”

Hearing Xiaobei say this, Wang Fulin couldn't help laughing. For so long, he has fooled I don't know how many people, that is, Xiaobei actually guessed eight or nine and ten, and even guessed that he looked at it from the book! He didn't pay attention to the stunned Ye Xiaopang, casually crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the paper basket, and then said solemnly to Ye Xiaopang: "Little fat man, brother-in-law, let me tell you, sometimes, taking shortcuts can indeed make you famous all over the world, but sometimes, there is no harm in being low-key, it depends on who the person above is." Now that Shousuke is not very interested in the top of poetry and songs, so I'll hide it. ”

"Oh, brother-in-law is so cunning!"

Wang Fulin was about to fight, but when he saw Ye Xiaopang running away, he pulled Qiu Feng and Jinbao out together, so he shrugged his shoulders and ignored it. It's just that if he is really in such a calm mood at the moment, it may not be. But being so troubled by his brother-in-law, Xiaobei guessed the biggest secret in his heart again, and he finally relaxed a little. He looked around, and suddenly saw two boxes of clouds on the bookshelf, immediately took them down with a smile, pointed to a chess table that had been dusty for a long time, and said, "Kill a game to kill time?" ”

Xiaobei pouted angrily and said: "This kind of elegant thing, it's almost the same as looking for my sister, how can I." ”

Wang Fulin set up the two boxes of chess pieces seriously, and then said mysteriously: "Actually, I won't either." ”

Xiaobei almost choked on Wang Fulin's words, and waited until Wang Fulin explained that she was playing backgammon instead of Go, and listened to the simple rules, she suddenly realized, and immediately snatched the sunspot with great interest. This is a full ten rounds, just there are losses and wins, if it weren't for Wang Fulin to show that he is also a stinky chess basket in backgammon, she almost thought that she was a novice who could only chase and intercept a big master. But in this way, her emotions of gaining and losing have also dissipated a lot, and in the end, she even increased her desire to win or lose, and from time to time she racked her brains and frowned for a long time.

Just as the two were tied and the thirteenth set was about to begin, there was a sudden loud commotion outside the door. At this moment, even if Xiaobei was going to win this game and win the final victory, he did not hesitate to throw down the chess pieces in his hand and rush out, but after a while, the person turned back and scolded angrily: "This damn Ming Omen actually tricked me!" ”

Only then did Wang Fulin understand that it was the three little guys outside who were making trouble, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Pressed Xiaobei to sit down and continue this game, he chased and intercepted on the chessboard while thinking about how many Huizhou Mansion could win this time, more precisely, how many Jinshi could be won in Shexian County. Just when he was thinking about the smooth white son, he suddenly heard another commotion outside. This time, Xiaobei waited for a while, but finally couldn't help it, got up and rushed out, but after a while, he turned around angrily and came back, leaving an angry word.

"It's said that the man next door is raising an outer room, and there is a fight at home, really, unlucky......"

At this moment, even Wang Fulin couldn't help laughing. was interrupted by such two times, and Xiaobei of course lost this game without any suspense. After cleaning up the chess game, he heard Xiaobei chanting words in his mouth, and the hand holding the chess pieces was actually hard there, as if he wanted to get back to the field. He didn't pay much attention to it, and let his wife go first with a smile. After a dozen hands, there was another shouting sound outside. This time, Xiaobei was as motionless as Mount Tai, and Wang Fulin was also mentally prepared for the previous two troubles, and he was still rubbing his hand and thinking about it. At this moment, the door curtain was slammed open.

"Brother-in-law, sister, you are too calm, hurry up, the newspaper is coming!"

This time, Huo Ran got up when Xiao Bei Deng, and this reckless action overturned the chess box next to him, and the sunspots rolled all over the ground, and if he was not careful, he could make people fall to the sky. But she couldn't help but stretch out her hand quickly, and with a little tip on her toes to find the place where there were no chess pieces on the ground, the two ups and downs rushed out of the door, but poor Wang Fulin had to move out cautiously after getting up, and just heard the high voice of the newspaper.

"Congratulations to Mr. Wang Fu Lin of She County, Huizhou Prefecture, who will take the high school exam for two hundred and seventy-two!"

Two hundred and seventy-two, dare to squeeze into the bottom thirty. If this is placed in the palace examination, there is no suspense that it is a third-class and a jinshi, and if you want to enter the second-class, there is no door, after all, it is said that there is not much difference between the ranking of the palace examination and the entrance examination. But Wang Fulin is completely satisfied, and being able to enter the list of 300 means that he can get a name on the Jinshi inscription archway in She County when he turns around, how lucky is this?

What's more, those art model collections, after the palace has tried it, they can all be thrown away and burned! (To be continued......)
