Chapter 55 Tribute Academy
Baishan, the ancestral land of the Xun family, the mausoleums of several ancestors are here.
Smoke curls down the mountain, fields are vertical and horizontal, houses are erected, and a few have 3,000 households. In addition to the Xun family, there are also the relatives of those veterans who fought with Xun Maode and the later food of Mao Degong.
In one of the mansions, Xun Kun sat opposite a young man: "How is it? Can these things be used?"
Xun Sheng looked at the text, and some specific fonts in many articles would be drawn in circles or red.
"Yes, Xun Yi's homework textbooks over the years are here, and I can concentrate on studying his writing for a few days. It can be seen that his literary path is very similar to that of the uncle, and it is worthy of being cultivated by the uncle since childhood. Xun Sheng's face was colorful, Zhu Tu came to invigilate the exam, Xun Yi may not want to be touched, but Xun Sheng doesn't see it that way.
"Lord Zhu Tu and Uncle were close friends in the past, even if Xun Yi didn't go to the door to beg, as long as Lord Zhu Tu saw his style of writing, he would give him a good score. ”
Xun Kun played with a string of sandalwood bracelets and groaned: "Three years ago, you started to learn the style of your uncle, and now you have Xun Yi's essay assignment. How many can you imitate in two days?"
"It's almost there. Xun Sheng pointed to Xun Yi's article and said with a smile: "Those of us who read are for the Venerable, for the relatives, and for the sages." This kid has always put filial piety first, don't say that his parents are named, even his grandfather and heavenly ancestor name don't dare to mention it casually. ”
In this dynasty's etiquette system, the emperor's name cannot be mentioned at will, even if it is a homophone, it must be avoided as much as possible. As children, the names of parents cannot appear in the text. Xun Yi grew up with Xun Yu since he was a child, so whenever he encounters "Yu", he either uses homophones instead, or directly leaves blank circles to draw circles.
Just by looking at the lines of this article, you can have a general understanding of Xun Yi's usual habits.
"Tianzu is called Mao Degong, but when it comes to the real title, it is a 'de' character. Although the people of the world call Mao Degong on weekdays, how dare our juniors directly write his name?"
"I often use the word E to add a horizontal line instead. However, his style is now to replace 'secret'. ”
Carefully studying Xun Yi's literary path, Xun Sheng couldn't help but nod. "I did get his article right this time. It's completely different from the text of a few years ago, and it must have been because I realized that I was deliberately imitating, and it took me two years to change my style, right?"
After Xun Yu left two years ago, Xun Sheng began to prepare for the imperial examination. He knew that Xun Yu had left a lot of contacts for Xun Yi, so he deliberately imitated Xun Yi's style and writing, preparing to confuse the public when the time came.
However, Xun Yi was aware of it at the beginning and slowly subconsciously modified his style. Originally, Xun Yi used the subtraction method, and reduced the analogy when encountering avoided words. "Mao" is written as "E" plus a horizontal, "Yu" is reduced a little and changed to the word Wang, and "Yuan" is changed to a vertical road next to the word water. This style of writing only needs people who know Xun Yi's identity, and they will know who Xun Yi is when they think about it.
This is also a way to recognize relatives during the exam.
Of course, the more subtle thing is the font. There is a lot of force under that font stroke, and the force is shallow, and people who are really close to it will see it directly.
However, when he realized that his manuscript was missing, Xun Yi immediately changed his style and replaced it with homophones and synonyms. The font is also slowly adjusted.
"Who knows if Lord Zhu Tu will read Xun Yi's articles in the past few years? Xun Sheng asked his brother to steal Xun Yi's article. After the inspection, I thanked Xun Kun again.
"Fight the tiger brothers, this thank you is not necessary. As long as you come to high school, you and I can still work together to run the Xun family. Xun Kun smiled meaningfully, and Xun Sheng said: "Big brother, don't worry, if the younger brother can go to high school, he will not compete with his brother for the position of the head of the Xun family." ”
There are only three men and three women in the Xun family's "day" generation, and Xun Yuan has Xun Yi and Xun Tan under his knees. There are two brothers Xun Kun and Xun Sheng in the second room, Xun Sheng is about the same age as Xun Yi, and he also participated in this Enke. And under the knees of the third uncle Xun Yi are two daughters, Xun Jing and Xun Xing.
If something happens to Xun Yi, the position of the future head of the family will inevitably be given to Xun Kun or Xun Sheng.
Xun Kun bowed his head and looked at the east window, and a magnificent building complex loomed in the distance. Xun Kun said silently in his heart: One day, this Maoyuan must be mine.
"The younger brother studied slowly, and the elder brother left first. Xun Kun got up and left, leaving only Xun Sheng to study Xun Yi's article by himself. The smile gradually disappeared, and Xun Sheng looked at the candlelight coldly: "Give you the title of champion plus the title attached to the head of the family, isn't this more deterrent than just a champion?"
......
August autumn osmanthus fragrance, generally speaking, the township test is held in autumn, coinciding with the osmanthus season, so it is also called Guibang. The Toad Palace has the meaning of this.
But this time Enke is different, and it opens in June and summer, so it is called Yunbang. The Gongyuan where the township examination was conducted was the place where the palace examination was held in the palace of the former dynasty. Later, it was repaired by Mao Degong and Cao Hou, and this golden palace was changed into a place for township trials in Longchuan County.
may be because of the favor of Wenyun in the underworld of the previous dynasty, the Xie Yuan of Longchuan County can get a good ranking in the later examinations and palace examinations.
Li Xinghong and everyone in the Xun family sent Xun Yi into the examination room together. Li Xinghong gave Xun Yi all the prayer pens he bought during this time: "These things can shelter my little uncle Wenyun Changlong during the exam." ”
"The Gongyuan is limited to five pens per person, why should I bring so many?" Xun Yi shook his head, took five pens casually, packed up his clothes and prepared to enter the hospital.
happened to see Li Junde and Xun Sheng also there, Zhang Yuqi and Li Junde pushed and shoved, and the two went in first.
"Brother Yi is also here this time, it's better for us to compare, who can win in one fell swoop?"
"Enke in June this year, and there is a banquet for thousands of autumns, how to count it is also a golden list. Treading the waves and supporting Yun has nothing to do with Zhegui. Brother Mo Feisheng is still preparing to compete again next year? So, I will not accompany the younger brother. Xun Yi laughed and said: "Next time Xie Yuan is given to you, this time I will honestly hand it over to the younger brother." Xun Yi passed through the door inspection and walked into the hospital.
Xun Sheng's face sank, and he snorted coldly in his heart: "Let you be arrogant for a while, and wait for me to obtain the name of Xie Yuan, and see what else you have to say." Xun Sheng is very confident in Enke this time, Xun Kun spent a lot of money to buy people from Fuxue to get internal exam questions, and this Enke is just a step for him.
If you can connect the three yuan, this name is enough to go down in history. This is Xun Sheng's goal, and the fight with Xun Yi is completely child's play.
Everyone entered the courtyard, only to see Zhu Tu and the two examiners appear, their eyes swept over everyone, looked at Xun Yi, and then said: "Mark your luggage, write your name and stay in the courtyard." Each person then receives a set of clothes and changes their clothes before taking the test. ”
Suddenly, everyone was in an uproar, and Li Junde said: "Don't you even bring things like stoves and bedding in this exam?"
"The tribute courtyard is ready, and in addition to the stove basin, there are two sets of clothes for one person. The Four Treasures of the Study Room have already been prepared, and you can enter it cleanly. ”
Xun Yi blinked, in other words, Li Xinghong's kid was busy for nothing. He wasn't even allowed to bring a pen in, and his money was spent in vain. However, why is Enko so strict this time?
Zhu Tu ignored the clamor of the people below, and ordered someone to forcibly seize the luggage, and then each person had a set of clothes, and after changing, he was put on the spot.
The Enke exam is divided into three sessions, the first is a text, the second is a mathematics, and the third is a politics. Each session lasted for three days, and it was already past noon when Xun Yi and others entered.
Outside, Li Xinghong and others were nervous when they saw the gate of the Gongyuan closed. Suddenly, someone ran over and said something in Li Xinghong's ear.
"What? This time the double examination system is used?" Li Xinghong jumped to his feet: "Why didn't anyone explain it to the imperial court beforehand?"
Then, Li Xinghong covered his face: "It's miserable, this time my uncle is completely finished." Don't talk about Xie Yuan, whether you can make the list or not has to say both. ”
Li Lan was startled, and when she was about to ask, she saw Li Xinghong muttering: "Why don't you come to an examination hall fire to temporarily delay time?" Or find an official to help take a belt?"
Li Xinghong pondered whether his face plus Xun Yi was big enough, and when he heard it, Aunt Xue was suspicious in her heart, and secretly spied on the Gongyuan.
However, a red light appeared in the Gongyuan, shaking Aunt Xue's divine thoughts, and then turned into a statue of the emperor in the air.
Aunt Xue's face turned pale: "It's Emperor Wenchang." "The divine power is opened, and all ghosts and gods are prevented from prying eyes on the Gongyuan, and the Gongyuan is completely blocked, and not even an ant can enter-
Today is also the third watch, but there is something in the morning, so the morning update has been delayed until now. Prepare the other two shifts in a moment.
