It was bustling outside, and the hearts of all the people in the city were touched by the township test. Only besides, he was not interested in this, except for wanting to know about Wen Bin, he no longer cared about anything else.

He is also very busy these days, and the special tailor found by Chen Fu came to him with two people carrying a box of clothes, and asked him to try on auspicious clothes, that is, dresses, as well as other seasonal clothes, underwear, including shoes, socks, etc., after trying, he has to take it back and modify it, and it will take a few times before he can wear it on his body and iron it incomparably.

The master of ceremonies informs him of various etiquette, outlines the list of guests attending the wedding, the route to walk when picking up the bride on the wedding day, and various matters to pay attention to, etc.

At this time, I feel like an actor, being told by the director, and like a puppet, being pulled by others with a thread.

He could only nod his head in agreement, although he didn't like these cumbersome etiquette, he couldn't resist it, so he could only follow the local customs.

Pomegranate came to two letters, both of which were sent to Zuo Ling, who said that he would not let him read anything, and resolutely refused to disclose the contents of the letters.

"What's going on with the two of them? They used to be like natural enemies, but now they have a letter. Xiao Nier was also puzzled.

Xiao Nier's pregnancy reaction was controlled, but she didn't feel pain, but was happy, because she heard that generally the strong pregnancy reaction is to give birth to a son, pregnancy does not have much reaction, and pregnant women are not guilty of giving birth to daughters, why is this, and even the reason cannot be said, this kind of thing cannot be explained by medical knowledge.

After the second session of the township exam, some students' emotions changed, and they clearly felt their mistakes after they appeared, and the major restaurants were filled with all kinds of discussions, shouts, and even cries after the first exam. This night is also a few joys and a few sorrows.

Wen Bin was in good condition after his appearance, and he played normally in both exams, but he knew that his good luck was over, and in the third test of Baguwen, he was destined to not write a good article, the time was too short, and he was not allowed to have reference books in his hands, which was his weakest one, but it was also the most important one in the township examination.

Lian Daning had earlier concluded that he would not be able to win, and it was for this reason that he would not be able to win.

"That's fine, the next time you have more experience in the exam room, you will be more relaxed next time. Sisi persuaded him.

"It's okay, I know in my heart that the end is nothing more than looking for experience, and it's normal to miss. Wen Bin really wanted to open it at this time.

To say that he still had some ambition and some luck before, when he saw the candidates in Wuyang and Wuyang, his heart was cold. The competition is too fierce, only 135 of the nearly 10,000 candidates can be selected, and the others can only fail the list, and the winning rate is only a little more than 1 percent.

Although he has the reputation of one of the four great talents in Jiangnan, it is only a reputation after all. In that case, he is confident that he can write an essay that is no less than that of any candidate, and is even expected to be among the 135 people, but in the examination room, time is limited, the atmosphere is tense, and he can not relax his spirit when he stays in a single prison-like room, and all his weaknesses will be exposed in the examination room.

"Besides, what are you busy with?" Wen Bin no longer thought about the last exam, but felt much more relaxed.

"I guess I'm busy preparing for marriage, and so is the pomegranate. Silk Road.

"Well, this kid should be okay if he ends, I have a feeling that he can write better articles in that atmosphere. It's a pity that he doesn't want to get off the field, and the trainer is so angry when he mentions it, he always wants to find a chance to settle accounts with him. Wen Bin said with a smile.

"He doesn't want to be an official, of course it doesn't matter if he takes the exam or not, why bother with this crime. Sisi laughed.

"That's not the case, the trainer is right, the imperial examination is a path to glory, and everyone should not give up. "Wen Bin is a staunch believer in Lian Daning's philosophy of life.

By the time of the third exam, all the students were nervous, whether they were talented or untalented, quick or naturally dull, without exception, they were so nervous that their faces turned pale.

Students know that the time has come to decide their fate.

In a panic, they entered the examination room, sat in the number room, and the servants brought the papers, everyone opened the papers and read the questions first, and when they finished reading the questions, everyone was stunned.

I was born with a destiny.

This is the title of the eight-strand essay of this township test.

Moreover, when I heard the title of the Bagu text, I was trying on the last dress, and when I heard the words "I was born and have a career", I was like thunder, and people became demented.

"Son, do you look at the ironing here, this piece is not tight. The tailor didn't notice anything, and looked around the gown, measuring, ready to make one last change.

"Oh, it's good, it's good, it's good anywhere, so be it. Besides, he hurriedly took off his gown and handed it to the tailor.

"Do you really think it's good anywhere?" said the tailor, a little confused, and he clearly felt that there were two areas that needed minor changes.

"It's all good, that's all. With that, he walked into the room.

He was afraid that he would faint if he stayed a little longer.

What is the situation, he had already guessed the question of the township exam, and told Wen Bin that this is a capital crime, an absolute capital crime.

It's nothing, Wen Bin won't leak it out. At that time, Wen Bin didn't think that the words he said would be the subject of the township test. Besides, how could it be possible, how could he have guessed?

He knew that the exact date when the emperor came up with the topic was on the fifth day after he finished talking to Wen Bin, and the emperor came up with this topic, and then sealed it with his own hands.

"What's the matter, the dress has been tried?" Zuo Ling moved his stomach and asked.

"Well, it's done. Besides, he replied mechanically.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Zuo Ling felt that something was wrong.

"Something is wrong. "And he was terrified.

"Something big, don't scare me. Zuo Ling's face turned white in an instant.

"Oh, it's not our business, it's the examination room, I just learned that the questions of this township exam are not from the four books, but from Zhuangzi, it is estimated that these candidates will be baked. Besides, he realized his gaffe and quickly switched back.

"Oh my God, what is this big deal, what does it have to do with us, you almost scared me to death just now. Zuo Lingjiao slammed his fist on the back.

When the exam questions are sent to the examination room, the exam questions on the paper can be passed out, which means that the confidentiality period has passed.

Parents and friends of candidates are often familiar with candidates and know what kind of articles he is usually good at.

But when everyone saw the questions, they were immediately stunned, just like the candidates in the exam room.

"If you copy it wrong, the title must be copied wrong, and then send someone to copy it. Someone shouted.

Those who think this way account for more than 80 percent, if not all, so those who reported the news returned to the examination room, re-transcribed the questions, and repeatedly confirmed that it was still the previous one, and the questions were not wrong.

Wen Bin's feeling after seeing the title was that he was hit in the head by a lucky star falling from the sky out of thin air.

Although he was extremely happy, he was also so shocked that he was dizzy, and he could hardly see anything clearly, and it took him a long time to recover, rubbing his eyes, and looking at the clear title on the paper again, and sure enough, it was the words that he had told him.

What's going on here, and how can you guess the topic, is there really someone leaking the secret?

No way.

He also knew that when he told him, it was five days earlier than the time when the emperor came up with the question, and the time when the emperor came out with the question was not a secret, and everyone knew it for a long time.

Wen Bin didn't start writing right away, but tried to calm himself. He wasn't nervous, but he was so excited that his hands were shaking and he couldn't write.

Chen Yixue was temporarily stationed in the Nanjing Governor's Yamen, which was temporarily changed to the Great Grandmaster's Yamen.

How so?

The principal officials of Nanjing who gathered here looked at each other one by one, how could the emperor suddenly come up with a sentence from the "Zhuangzi"? This is not in accordance with the convention, and it has always been an iron law that the questions of the township examination must come from the four books.

Of course, there is no such rule, saying that the title must come from the four books, on the contrary, the eight-strand text is in the form of a question, and any topic can be produced, which is so broad that there is no boundary. This way of asking questions is too difficult for candidates, and many candidates can't answer them at all, and secondly, it is also very difficult to mark the papers, and many markers don't understand these knowledge at all, so they slowly limit the scope to the scope of the four books, which is a classic that every reader must memorize.

"My lord, the title can't be wrong, right?" asked an official, timidly.

"Are you saying that the official made a mistake, or that the emperor made a mistake?" Chen Yixue asked rhetorically.

"Don't dare, the lower officials just think that this topic is too obscure, where do they dare to question the adults and the emperor. ”

"Hmph, speaking out of Zhuangzi, is Zhuangzi a seclusion to scholars? Except for the four books, are all other books in the world considered obscure?" Chen Yixue was full of fire, in fact, he and this official had the same idea, but as the chief examiner, he must maintain the dignity of the imperial court, maintain the authority of the emperor, and do not allow any doubts.

"The question will not be wrong, maybe the emperor is deliberately testing the candidates' adaptability. The Nanjing Rite Department waiter smiled.

"Well, the emperor's holy wisdom is profound, how can my courtiers speculate. Chen Yixue nodded in agreement, but his heart felt like he had vomited a bowl of coptis.

"It really depends on the adaptability of these candidates, and from the official's point of view, it's a little bad. Nanjing Ministry Shangshu said with an indifferent smile.

He is half a level higher than Chen Yixue's grade, so naturally he doesn't have to be afraid of this so-called great master, even if he is a squire in Beijing and he is a scholar in Nanjing.

"The question has already been released, so I can only answer it like this, and everyone should not express any different ideas. The Nanjing Ministry of Rites Shangshu said categorically.

"Well, this official completely agrees with Lord Shangshu's statement. I also hope that all the adults who read the papers can deeply understand the emperor's holy will, so that they can accurately judge the merits of the candidates' articles. Chen Yixue finally said.
