Thinking of this, Master Tixue took a pen and made a fine circle on Tao Yuchen's atoms, and added three circles to the volume, that is, to fill in the first place.

Putting down Tao Yuchen's scroll, Master Tixue thought again: "Then Xu Wenchang is a famous man for a while, if you don't take him, I'm afraid that someone will criticize me, so it's better to take him low, and let the township examiner be upset." So he found Xu Wei's scroll again, read it again from beginning to end, and tasted some tastes.

After reading it for the third time, Master Tixue couldn't help but sigh and said, "I can't even understand this text after reading it once or twice, and it is not until I read it three times that I know that it is the best text between heaven and earth." It's really a pearl! It can be seen that the name of the talented man is not worthy, but he is much stronger than Yu Chen's talent! I had to say sorry to Tao Yuchen, and added a horizontal line to the word on his roll, which became the second place. took Xu Wei as the head of the case.

After reading Xu Wei's article, I felt bored when I read something else, and I felt more and more that Xu Wei's article was endlessly evocative, and I mentioned that the adult said: 'Xu Wenchang's article is far better than Wang Wei, but it has always been a slump in the field, which shows that there are confused examiners in this world, and I don't know how many talents have been succumbed! ’

sighed for a while before picking up his spirits and continuing to read the papers. By the time the lantern was in hand, the master was already dizzy, so he was ready to grit his teeth and read a few more servings to eat, and read the rest tomorrow. Who knew that when he saw one of them, Lord Tixue couldn't help but be shocked, and even forgot to eat, and read it several times under the lamp, but saw that the author was not deliberately writing, and its production was not strange, without the color of algae, without the appearance of a soft man, and without the air of arrogance, but it was solemn and elegant, and it was really mellow.

This kind of article does not read like the general eight-strand essay that is empty and incomprehensible, but makes people clear and clear, and it applauds it when it is read, and it makes people think deeply about it. The scholar is a person who understands and knows that ordinary scholars cannot write such articles.

Because Baguwen is a kind of argumentative essay after all, everything you ask is related to the road of governing the country. And the scholars don't listen to what is going on outside the window, and only read the books of the sages. I only know that people are the same, where do I have my own opinions? The essay written is inevitably just a pick-up of people's teeth, without any new ideas, which makes the examiner drowsy.

However, the examiner has always not been forced, because to write such an article, it is necessary to have a grand cultivation, far-reaching knowledge, a talent for cutting, and a solid learning. That is to say, thinking, talent, knowledge, experience, vision, and bearing must reach a very high level. Not to mention ordinary scholars, even those old-timers who were born in Hanlin and have been officials for many years, they can't reach this level.

But this candidate reached it.

Master Tixue flipped through the test paper repeatedly, and kept repeating the phrase: "Save the Prime Minister!" Save the Prime Minister! I read the paper I don't know how many times, and I forgot to eat it, and I still feel the truth.

The officials inside waited and waited, and asked the subordinates to make the meal hot and hot, and never saw the master come in to eat. Finally, I couldn't help but go out to urge, and the master of the school twisted his beard and said: "I'm full, I'm drunk, no need to drink or eat." Xia Guan said strangely: "The adults haven't eaten yet, how can they be full?" ”

Master Tixue laughed and said: "Reading this wonderful article is like eating gizzards; Reading this high theory, like drinking elixir, how can you not be full and not drunk? ”

"I don't know which sage's article?" The officials asked curiously.

Master Tixue showed the name on the corner of the test paper, and everyone saw the words 'Huiji Silence', and nodded one after another: "Little Sanyuan is Little Sanyuan." ”

The next day, the list was released, and the first place was silent's name, Xu Wei was taken second, and Tao Yuchen's ranking was added a horizontal to become the third place...... If you know the reason, I don't know if Tao will cry or laugh. But judging from his broad mind, probably not.

As for the Sun brothers, they took the fourth and sixth places respectively, but the fifth place was occupied by another acquaintance, Wu Dui.

The top two and the top ten of the third class went in to thank the grandmaster, and the scholars were naturally gentle, so that all sentient beings could work hard and prepare for the township test in a few months.

After going out, Shen Mo wondered: "Why didn't you come to the brothers?" "He's talking about Zhu Dashou, that famous genius.

Tao Yuchen said with a smile: "Senior brother doesn't know, the father of the seniors is the prefect of the prefecture, and he is directly sent to the exam. Wu Dui, who was on the side, said with a smile: "The big ribbons have the talent of the champion, but they are the great enemies of your hometown." ”

Shen Mo shook his head, smiled indifferently: "The ranking is not important, it is important if you win." Then he asked Tao Yuchen: "There is still a season of hometown trying, do you still want to go to Yuelu Academy?" ”

Tao Yuchen said with a smile: "If you don't go back, go to a few literary meetings, listen to a few famous teachers' explanations, and communicate more." ”

"It's better to go to Hangzhou with me," Shen Mo smiled: "After all, it is a provincial capital, and there are many more Wenhui and famous teachers than Shaoxing." ”

"That's a good idea." Tao Yuchen said happily: "The former senior brother also invited me to Hangzhou, but I was afraid that I would not know each other in the same year, and I could not communicate sincerely, so I did not agree." ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone behind him laugh and say, "It can be seen that the more people in this matter, the better." Looking back, it was the two brothers Sun Yan and Sun Ling.

Shen Mo said happily: "Naturally, it's good. Then he said to Wu Dui: "Senior might as well go." Wu Dui smiled: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Shen Mo went around to look for Xu Wenchang again, but he didn't find it, Tao Yuchen said strangely: "Did you still see Brother Wen?" ”

Sun Ling said with a smile: "When I came, I saw him muttering with the person in the embroidery car, and I'm afraid I'm going to make an appointment with the United States again." ”

Sun Yan taught: "Just your broken mouth......" paused, and then said: "But it seems to be the case." ”

Everyone laughed and walked out of the Fuxue Palace, and Sun Ling looked around, and suddenly pointed to a restaurant opposite: "Look, there is that car parked at the door, I bet Xu Qingteng is inside." ”

Before the words fell, Xu Wei poked his head out of the restaurant and beckoned to them: "Humble words, come up." ”

Sun Ling was a self-acquaintance, and said loudly: "Mr. Qingteng, can you please Brother Humble Yan alone?" ”

Xu Wei scolded with a smile: "Who are you, I don't know you." It made everyone laugh.

Sun Ling was bored, and whispered: "This old man is so polite. ”

Shen Mo comforted him and said, "Senior Brother Wen is such a stinky temper, but he is very good. ”

Sun Ling smiled and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, I'm a huge person, and I'm never angry." ”

Sun Yan glared at him, and said to Shen Mo: "Since the senior brother has an appointment, I won't disturb it, our brothers are now living in the Xingshao Inn. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Shen Mo also smiled politely: "Just in this one or two, everyone hurry up and prepare, let's hurry up and not delay." "All are good.

Shen Mo said to Tao Yuchen again: "You go and invite the senior brothers to see if he is willing to go with him." ”

Tao Yuchen nodded and said, "I know." And they went every man to his house.

After everyone left, Shen Mo looked back at Shen An, and said after a moment's silence: "You can go back." ”

Shen An said cautiously: "Young Master, I'll still follow you to serve." ”

Shen Mo had already guessed what was going on, how could he dare to bring this 'broken mouth An'? So he drove him back, and let the iron pillar go up with him.

Entering the restaurant, Xu Wei should come down and say, "Why is it so slow." ”

Shen Mo looked at him with a flickering gaze: "You tell me the truth, who else is up there?" ”

"There's no one left." Xu Wei said weakly: "Okay, I know that you have more hair than a monkey, and it is Miss Lu on it." Seeing that Shen Mo turned around to leave, he hurriedly grabbed him and said: "I said brother, you can't be ignorant, you are a serious official lady, so disregard for your face, what do you want?" ”

"You're going to ask her what she wants?" Shen Mo whispered, "Didn't I already say it?" I already have a marriage contract with Miss Yin, why can't I stop it? He glared at her, "Didn't you tell her?" ”

Xu Wei sneered: "This is too hurtful, so you should say it yourself." ”

Shen Mo then knew that Xu Wei's pity for the fragrance and jade had been committed again, and he couldn't help sighing and said: "Hey, what are you talking about...... " Then he took his hand upstairs and said: "Come along, let you see what pure masters are." ”

Xu Wei smiled: "I study with an open mind. So he followed him upstairs, knocked on the door of the innermost box, and heard a nice female voice say, "Please come in." ”

Thinking of what he was going to do next, Shen Mo felt a little nervous, his heart was pounding, and he scolded himself and said: "You must be promising, and you must be worthy of Ruohan." Then he went in with his head held high, and when he saw a colorful figure, he closed his eyes and said: "This young lady, I am silent, since Ling Zun has rejected the marriage between the two families, I can only express deep regret in the next, I hope you have a good home, don't go against Ling Zun's will again." ”

When he opened his eyes, he saw a maid with a double bun, looking at him with a frightened face...... Silent this embarrassment, he was nervous for a while, and he actually confessed to a maid who came out, it was really ...... Shame on the dead.

The room was very quiet, and the pins could be heard, and Miss Lu, who was standing in front of the window, thought that Shen Mo was still complaining about her family. Then he said softly: "Although the lotus root has holes, the heart is not stained with dirt and dust." "Meaning, although my family is wrong in this matter, my heart is very pure and has not changed.
