Lu Shuo was a little surprised when he heard Master Wei say that he could go back to Beijing for the exam. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

To be honest, he didn't have much faith in himself.

He has only been studying for five years since he was enlightened, although he opened some small golden fingers because of the crossing, and he was able to sit still more than others and learn more efficiently when he was a child, but Lu Shuo didn't think that he would be much better than others.

He was well aware of the cruelty of the imperial examinations.

Just take the children's examination he was going to take as an example. There are only four levels of formal imperial examinations in Daqi: the Academy Examination, the Township Examination, the Hui Examination and the Palace Examination, and the Tongsheng Examination is not among them, it is only a preparatory examination for candidates to obtain the qualification of Xiucai.

It is such a lowest-level exam, candidates also need to go through the county exam and the prefectural exam, and the acceptance rate of each exam is only one percent, and candidates can only obtain the fame of the child if they pass all of them.

Regarding this point, Lu Shuo also went to read the history books. Because of the title of "government test", Lu Shuo felt a little strange.

According to Lu Shuo's understanding, the current local system is four levels: county, state, road, and road, and from the Tang Dynasty to the present, there is no "government" level of governance, how can there be a "government test"?

Later, he specifically consulted the records of the imperial examination system in the Tang and Song dynasties, and found the strangeness in it.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, there was no such thing as a "children's examination", and the lowest level of examination in these two dynasties was the academy examination. The children's examination is a two-level examination system established after the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Lu Shuo felt that this might be the handiwork of the Emperor of the Traverser.

After all, in modern times, Lu Shuo had heard of "Tongsheng", and many people used the words of "eighty old Tongsheng" to satirize the imperial examination system, and Lu Shuo was very impressed by this.

Since there was no one in the Tang and Song dynasties, according to the normal track of history, it is very likely that the Tongsheng test was a new examination system added to the Ming Dynasty's eight-share selection of scholars, and this system was directly used by the emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty who crossed over.

Thinking of this, Lu Shuo shook his head and smiled bitterly.

This colleague will really make it more difficult for those who come after him!

The only fortunate thing is that Emperor Taizu just borrowed a shell and did not copy the eight-strand literary system.

Lu Shuo thought about it inwardly, and felt that he was still a little uncertain in his heart, so he found Wei Fuzi and told him the worries in his heart.

Wei Fuzi listened to Lu Shuo's words, stroked his beard, and looked at the brocade-clothed young man standing in front of him with a smile.

The little boy stood humbly, although he was only ten years old, but because he was a young man, he had surpassed his peers a lot, and the whole person looked slender and sturdy, full of youthful vitality.

Wei Fuzi smiled kindly and said, "You have to have some confidence in yourself! Over the years, your intelligence and hard work have been seen in the eyes, and it is not a problem for you to be a child." ”

Wei Fuzi's eyes were warm and full of encouragement.

Lu Shuo was a little surprised when he heard Wei Fuzi say this, he had always felt that he was inferior to these primitive ancients in terms of ancient literature, and now when he mentioned the exam, he retreated.

Lu Shuo said in a low voice: "The Beijing Master Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, the powerful and the clear stream gather, among which there are many talented and outstanding students, although the students are also very hardworking, but they always feel that there are people outside the people, I am afraid that it is difficult to stand out." ”

When Wei Fuzi heard this, he stood up with his hands in his hands, walked to Lu Shuo's side, and patted him on the shoulder.

Lu Shuo was slapped by this, and couldn't help but straighten his back.

Wei Fuzi's eyes were shining, and he smiled happily and said, "What you said is good! But over the years, the old man has often taken you to Yuluo Mountain to visit Uncle Tang. Do you know who he is?"

What kind of person? Famous Confucian!

Lu Shuo already knew what Wei Fuzi was going to say.

Wei Fuzi didn't give Lu Shuo time to answer, he continued: "Now the Jinshi who were half in a high position in the former dynasty and Tai have all worshiped under his door. You can accept such a great Confucian, and this is something that none of the children of the Beijing division can compare! What you have learned from him is that you have done your best to participate in the township examination in the future! What you have to worry about now is not whether you can pass the exam, but whether you can win a small three yuan. ”

When Lu Shuo heard this, he lowered his head and thought about it carefully, feeling that he was indeed too careful.

With the guidance of these two famous teachers, he has worked hard for so many years, what is he afraid of?

"Take the law from the top, get the middle, take the law from the middle, get the bottom. You must remember this and do not be presumptuous. Wei Fuzi saw his hesitation, and finally admonished him.

Lu Shuo was taught, so he nodded firmly.

Wei Fuzi did not delay, and told Lu Yun about it that day.

Lu Yun thought about it for a while, and felt that the exam was the best now! While Lu Shuo was still young, the sooner he passed the exam, he would be able to go to Taoshan Academy to study more, so he nodded and agreed.

And so it was decided.

Because the county test was in mid-February, Lu Yun and Yuan decided that as soon as the Lantern Festival passed, Yuan would take Lu Shuo and Lu Shunying back to Beijing first.

As for Lu Yun, he will not be able to leave Huaizhou until his term expires in June.

The second room of the Lu family has lived in Hebei Province for five or six years, and there are not many items purchased.

Because Lu Yun still had to stay for a while, Yuan only instructed the maids and daughters-in-law to pack up the daily necessities and ornaments of the three of them, and the rest should be dealt with when Lu Yun returned to Beijing to report on work.

Despite this, the cages were still piled up with more than a dozen official ships.

The Yuan family was busy with people, and Lu Shuo was about to say goodbye to his classmate Sun Zhe.

Sun Zhe is a person with a pure nature, tenacity and hard work, Lu Shuo has gotten along with him very well in the past three years, and has made great progress due to his learning attitude. So I was reluctant to leave for a while.

Sun Zhe was originally from Cangzhou, and now lives in Lufu, Huaizhou, and studies with Wei Fuzi. He is already very good at learning now, and according to what Master Wei said, he can give it a try next year.

It's just that Cangzhou is still far away from Beijing, and it takes seven or eight days to take a boat, so it is very inconvenient for Sun Zhe to go to Beijing with him.

Lu Shuo thought that it was because of himself that Sun Zhe couldn't continue to study with Master Wei, and he felt a little guilty for a while.

Lu Shuo couldn't say anything else, so he patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Let's work together to get the exam once, and then we can reunite in Taoshan Academy." ”

Wei Fuzi admired Sun Zhe very much, so he gave him a jade plaque as a token to study at Taoshan Academy in the future.

Sun Zhe is a very delicate person, he smiled when he saw Lu Shuo say this, and said bluntly: "Senior brother don't have to feel guilty, I can study with Master Wei, it is already thanks to Uncle Lu." What's more, my husband has recommended me to Han Fuzi, his knowledge is also excellent, and the school is close to my home, I will also benefit from studying with him, and I am already very happy. ”

Although Sun Zhe is older than Lu Shuo, he entered school late and still has to be called a senior brother.

Lu Shuo carefully observed his expression and saw that he was genuinely happy, and the guilt in his heart was also put down.

The two complained to each other about the melancholy of parting, agreed to see each other at Taoshan Academy, and saw that it was not early, so they reluctantly separated.

On the 16th of January, the rats rushed to the north, and it was suitable for travel.

Lu Shuo and his entourage waved goodbye to the people who stayed in Huaizhou, took the big boat back to Beijing from Huaizhou Ferry, and set off in a mighty way.
