In order to avoid his father from asking questions about the west, Wang Xian decisively said the reason why he came back, Wang Xingye really changed his face, raised the hand that had just buckled his feet, and said: "Don't hurry up and study hard" said and shouted: "Old woman, you take the old and young back to Fuyang to go here, hurry up"

The old lady didn't hear the conversation in front of her, so she came out with the child in her arms and scolded: "My son just came back, and you drove me to my hometown, what do you mean by you?" ”

"Do you know the way?" Wang Xingye blew his beard and glared and said, "The second child is back to take the exam."

"Ah, then I'll go quickly" Aunt Wang also changed her face, "Don't let the old man cry and cry and disturb the second child's study" said and pulled her throat, asking the maid to quickly pack up and prepare to go back to the countryside.

"No need to do this," Wang Xian smiled bitterly, "It's okay as usual." "It's really ashamed to say that since he was admitted to the exam, he has broken off the idea of continuing to take the exam, and he hasn't read a day of books. Do you think you work hard......

Although he is now the companion of the grandson and the celebrity of the prince, but in the eyes of the prosperous people of Zhejiang, this kind of luck is not as good as the fame of his own examination, and even the philistines such as Father Wang and Aunt Wang also think so.

So the old lady went back to the countryside, and the father strictly ordered the family not to talk loudly, and they were not even allowed to cough and fart near the study. And personally take the lead and make every effort to prepare for the exam...... Wang Xian has been tall for more than a year, and his shoulders are wider, and the original Confucian shirt has to be redone, and the square scarf on his head is still suitable, but the Wang family is not bad for money now, and it is also made into a new one. There are also examination baskets, copper chos, trumpet tops, door curtains, stoves, candle holders, candle scissors, roll bags, bedding, clothes, and even hammer nails and small saws, etc., all of which must be prepared.

Because the township test is not a county test, the government test, and the hospital test, the previous exams were all in the morning and out in the evening, which was very difficult. However, the township examination has to be taken three times in a row, and each one is spent in it for three days, which is a complete torture for the candidates, and the family has to try their best to make full preparations and try to make the candidates suffer as little as possible.

The Wang family has never been a scholar, Wang Xingye does not understand these, fortunately there are good officials in his yamen, who are from a good background, so he invited others to guide the preparation, only to know that the food originally prepared by Lu Dao is unreliable, once the candidate eats a bad stomach, the exam will definitely be greatly affected. Although the township test is better than the county test, it is that there is no poke of, but you have pulled a lot of meat and eight vegetables, ten percent of your skills have been pulled eighty, and the articles you write are smelly.

Under the guidance of experienced people, Wang Xingye prepared the freshest moon cakes, orange cakes, lotus rice, round-eye meat, ginseng, fried rice, pickled melon, ginger, plate duck...... All of them are made with the best ingredients, and they are supervised by themselves, lest something go wrong and eat my son's stomach.

As everyone knows, Wang Xian's iron stomach can even digest horse skin, so what if he eats something spoiled?

Because the time is too tight, Dad is busy. But Wang Xian doesn't need to worry about these things, he just needs to take the exam with peace of mind......

The next day was the rì of the scientific examination make-up examination, and Wang Xian came to the Yamen early to learn from the school. I thought I came early enough, but most of them came earlier than him. Shuai Hui carried the test basket for him, and said dizzily: "There are so many people......

"yes." Wang Xian replied casually, but his eyes did not leave the four books and chapters in his hand, he had memorized all these Zhu Zi works before, but he hadn't read them for more than a year, and most of them had been returned to Sister Lin. Although the Grand Master will take care of it, if he can't even solve the question, or forget even the simplest sentence, it will be too much...... In case the great grandmaster deposes him for the sake of his own reputation, it will really be a chicken and a flying egg.

He was struggling to sharpen his gun, when he suddenly heard a surprise call: "Lord Wang, is it really you?"

"It's me." Wang Xian looked up and saw a handsome face that made people want to disfigure him, with the moon-white Confucian shirt and the long soap towel behind his head, which made him look even more jade and more beautiful than Pan An. It turned out to be the flawless son Wei Wuji

"It's you" Wang Xian said with a look of surprise: "It's been a long time, I haven't seen you, you seem to be a little handsome again."

"Adults still call villains cursive." Wei Wuqian smiled bitterly: "In front of you, I don't dare to call myself a son." ”

"Okay, cursive, are you here to take the make-up exam too?" Wang Xian said with an innocent face.

"The adults are joking with the students again." Wei Wuqian said with a bitter face: "The villain is naturally cursive. ”

"It's a perfect one." Wang Xian praised: "It's worthy of the name"

"Your Excellency has won the prize." Wei Wujian smiled embarrassedly: "The student is here to make up the exam, and the adult is too?" ”

"yes, what a coincidence, so you're gay." Wang Xian said with a smile.

"My lord, it should be said that it is the same year...... "Wei Wujian said in his heart that you are a guy with no ink on your chest, isn't it humiliating for yourself?"

"It doesn't matter, I look at you like a comrade anyway." Wang Xian said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than a year, what are you busy with?" ”

"What else can students do, just bury their heads in hard work." Wei Wujian said with a smile: "It's an adult, it's really beautiful."

"It's a fart in the scenery, and it's been mixed up and reduced to the same level as you." Wang Xianbai glanced at him and said.

"......" Wei Wujian is speechless, but he still feels that he is the only one in heaven and earth, it turns out that in the eyes of the surnamed Wang, he is so miserable.

Although there is a serious suspicion that this guy is a high-level cult and has something to do with the recent rights and wrongs, at this juncture, Wang Xian doesn't want to be troubled, and the two guys with their own ghosts are like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, chatting enthusiastically. When the yamen opened, the two arched their hands, said good luck to each other, and entered the yamen with the examination basket.

After entering the yamen, I saw that the courtyard was full of rows of tables and chairs, and all the beings paid homage to Lord Tixue, who was in his forties and did not smile, and his deputy ordered all the beings to find their names and sit down. The scene was a little chaotic, some people even quarreled for the position, only to see the great grandmaster frown, and some soldiers forked the noisy people out...... If you want to take the exam again, you can only wait for three years.

Under the cold gaze of the Great Grandmaster, hundreds of people did not dare to breathe, found their names and sat down, almost without making any movement.

"The husband must learn, and the learning must be quiet." After all the students sat down, Liu Tixue slowly taught him: "Therefore, the topic of today's rì is to be able to be still. ”

When the candidates knew the question, they hurriedly began to grind the ink and conceive the idea. This examination only examines one eight-strand essay, but the so-called 'one eight-strand essay is set for life, although there are more than a dozen questions in three examinations in the imperial examination, in fact, only the first four-book question really determines success or failure

Therefore, for the candidates, this exam is no simpler than the official Qiuqiu, and no one dares to take it lightly, even Wang Xian frowned and scraped his stomach. Fortunately, the title of the great master is not biased or strange, he knows that this is from a sentence in "University", and then there is a decision, and then there is a certainty, and then it can be quiet, and then it can be peaceful. , it's not that you can't even solve the problem.

The candidates also felt strange, this Liu Tixue has always loved to come to Zhejiang to make strange questions, but this time it is so simple, is it because he loves us, afraid that we will not be able to pass the test?

So with gratitude to the great master, everyone answered one by one in a comfortable mood, and they all played well, and even Wang Xian successfully finished writing this article...... He admired himself a little, he hadn't studied for more than a year, but he could still write this kind of damn eight-strand essay, could it be that he was really a genius?

In fact, he can only barely make mistakes, Baguwen is a thing that makes a dojo in a snail shell, you have to work hard for more than ten years to write a little taste, with his shallow skills, he can only have his form but not his spirit, and if you want to pass the test, you can only rely on the mercy of the great grandmaster......

The articles of the scientific examination are generally approved by the grandmaster in person, and the papers are directly judged. The volume is divided into five classes, the first three classes can be entered into the autumn bar, and the last two classes are dethroned. The same is true for this make-up examination, but a large cultural and educational province like Zhejiang has accumulated more than 700 students for the make-up examination, and it is inevitable that the great grandmaster will be dizzy when he approves it, and he will not be able to see good articles. With confidence in their own writing, most of them hurry up to finish writing and strive to hand in the paper. Before noon, the queue for handing in the papers formed a long line......

The grandmaster's name is Liu Jian, who is a four-year jinshi in Yongle, and then he chose Shu Jishi, studied in the Hanlin Academy for three years, and after the museum was disbanded, he was awarded the Hanlin Editing, and after so many years, he was finally appointed to study in Zhejiang...... It can be described as a step to the sky. It took Zhong Jinshi ten years to get out of the way, and he had already made up his mind that this time he would do his errand beautifully and select a group of talents for the country. It is not in vain to sharpen a sword for ten years

Liu Tixue sat in the hall, and when he saw that those students couldn't wait to hand in the papers, he didn't like it in his heart, and secretly said that these people were impetuous, lucky, and I couldn't take one of them. He sentenced all those who submitted their papers early to below the fourth class...... Unless there is something extremely eye-catching, I am willing to take it low.

Seeing that almost all the people who handed in the papers first were wiped out, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to hand in the papers, and no one got up again for a long time. At this time, Wang Xian also finished answering, and after seeing that there was nothing wrong with the scroll, he stepped forward and handed it to the great grandmaster...... In fact, he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, lest the six relatives of this dead-faced great grandmaster would not recognize him.

Liu Tixue saw that he dared to step forward, and said in his heart that this person also had some courage, and when he looked at his article again, he could only say that it was barely smooth, and the heat was still very poor. He was just about to use a red pen to draw a bar on the candidate's name, but he saw the person's name. He stopped his pen and asked, "Your name is Wang Xian?" ”

"Yes." Wang Xian responded: "The student is." ”

"I ask you, why do you dare to come up when no one else dares to hand in the papers?" Liu Tixue asked with a straight face.

"After the student has finished writing the essay, it is natural for them to hand in the paper." Wang Xianxin said that you are not talking nonsense.

"Your words aren't enough." Liu Tixue continued to say with a straight face: "It is said that you should not be taken." ”

Listening to the first half of his sentence, Wang Xian sighed in his heart, and said secretly: 'Do you really want to deny the six relatives? , but when I heard the second half of the sentence, I was relieved again, and I secretly said a good one

"But you are honest and commendable, and the text has its own righteousness, so you will give a third-class outlet." Liu Tixue said lightly, drew a circle with a pen, and took him into the middle......
