Wanqiu County Scholar was noisy, Shangshui County Scholar looked embarrassed, but few people refuted, after all, the test was about to start, everyone came from afar for fame, and they all had the mentality that more than one thing is better than less, once there was a fight, they would definitely be disqualified, and there was no need to get along with themselves.

At this time, a state school official came over and shouted with a very ugly face: "What are you doing, what are you doing, who is gathering here to make a noise." ”

As soon as this person arrived, the noise immediately stopped, and no one present was a fool, and it would be too wronged to be caught by the officials who maintained order, and they had the right to bear your guilt.

Zhang Qiyuan smiled indifferently, took a step forward, and said gently: "My lord, we are just arguing about learning, and there is no noisy examination room, I hope you will forgive me." ”

The official flickered, his eyes suddenly softened, and he smiled kindly: "Learning can be argued, but it's about to enter, don't make too much noise." After that, he glanced at Zhang Qiyuan with admiration and left directly.

Zhang Qiyuan sent off the officials with a number of courtesies, and smiled kindly at Zhu Rong and other Wanqiu scholars.

Maybe it was because he realized that it was amazing, or maybe it was Zhang Qiyuan's elegance, Zhu Rong also smiled and waved his hand, and everyone dispersed in twos and threes.

The scholars of Shangshui County had a good impression of Zhang Qiyuan, and they gathered around Zhang Qiyuan one after another and said some compliments. Joke, Zhang Qiyuan was already famous in Shangshui County, and he was the son of Zhang Dashanren, the most promising person among the scholars in Shangshui County.

Wang Xiu calmly looked at Zhang Qiyuan selling cuteness, no jealousy or joy, deep in his heart, he always had a deep guard against Zhang Qiyuan, this is not knowing Zhang Qiyuan's shady methods, in fact, he doesn't know, but completely out of instinct.

"This guy is going to take advantage of the loopholes." He Wei muttered dissatisfiedly.

Wang Xiu raised his eyebrows and smiled undeniably, what is jealousy, Zhang Qiyuan has the ability to be exquisite, you really can't accept it.

There is a set of rules for the entrance to the test, and the state scholars are routinely searched by the state scholars, and the scholars carry pen, ink, paper, and inkstones to enter the venue, and each goes to the number table. The exams of this era are different from those of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there is no special examination room in the state school, but the state school is used, and each person does his own questions.

The test invigilator also led all the invigilators to the scene, bowed with all the scholars, and completed a series of complicated procedures together before officially entering the exam.

Wang Xiu adjusted the pen and ink, and sent the test papers one by one under the supervision of the examiner, and it was fun to open it and see it, it was so coincidental, the first Jingyi title was Lili, which was simply tailor-made for him. Back then, at the Sinology Forum, there was a lot of discussion on this topic, and he often communicated on the Internet, so it can be said that he is familiar and can no longer be familiar.

Although the difficulty of solving the test is not as good as that of the tribute, it is also a comprehensive test for the scholars, and there is often no pertinence for the tribute, mainly the basic Confucian scriptures, poems and strategies, depending on the scholars' understanding level and literary skills, and does not pay attention to their personal views.

Wang Xiu was overjoyed, it was too late to do anything, time should not be wasted, hurry up and do the question!

The whole two-day exam is completely closed, fortunately it is not the Ming and Qing dynasties, candidates have to bring their own incense and candle food, since the Song Dynasty court can benefit the displaced people, pity the lonely, this district test is naturally not a problem, the state government specially allocated money, each scholar in accordance with the state Cao to join the army standards, prepared a sumptuous meal.

Wang Xiu is the first to hand in the papers, he walked out of the state school easily, the scriptures, the policy test is good, he has nearly a thousand years of cultural accumulation, whether it is the vision or the angle, are very in place, as for the poetry, not to mention, the masterpiece of the dignified and talented man, presumably can enter the eyes of the marking official.

Of course, there is also a time limit for solving the test, Wang Xiu's first submission of the paper does not mean that he has been over the others for too long, just half an hour after he handed in the paper, he was taking a slow walk outside the gate of the state school to relieve the fatigue of the past two days, and the scholars also came out one after another.

When He Wei got out of the gate, he looked around, and soon found Wang Xiu, hurriedly greeted him, and was about to speak with a smile, but he didn't want Wang Xiu to ask, "How was the exam?" ”

He Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "Unsatisfactory!" ”

"That's good, isn't that?" Wang Xiu smiled and looked at He Wei.

"I hope to be able to send tribute and raise people, and it will not be in vain for my father's expectations, but it is still a little suspenseful." He is in a good mood, and he is a little emotional, he should have no bottom in his heart and cheer himself up.

Speaking from his heart, he was very grateful to Wang Xiu and Shen Mo, without close contact with them, without looking at many master's school books, it would be impossible for him to ask many questions, let alone learn a lot of knowledge from the correct theory of Xinxue, and it is impossible for him to write sharply today, maybe he can really glorify his ancestors.

Wang Xiu patted He Wei on the shoulder with a smile and said with a smile: "Forget it, don't think about it, don't be too emotional, relax for a few days, and go home after the list is released." ”

was talking, but saw Zhang Qiyuan and Zhu Rong talking and laughing, and was about to come here, followed by a group of Shangshui and Wanqiu scholars, Wang Xiu couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and secretly said Zhang Qiyuan is not simple! As soon as he entered and exited, he hooked up with Zhu Rong in a few words, this person is powerful, and he is by no means inferior to the public relations manager of later generations, this is a talent!

Just thinking about something, Zhang Qiyuan swept Wang Xiu out of the corner of his eye, and immediately strode over, and said with a smile: "Look at the spring breeze on my brother's face, he did well in the test." ”

He and Wang Xiu are not in the same examination room, of course I don't know that Wang Xiushi is the first to come out, whether it is poetry or Jingyi, I feel that I have done very well, and I am a little proud in front of Wang Xiu.

Wang Xiu smiled indifferently and said, "It's not satisfactory, it's not like a brother." ”

Zhu Rong looked at Wang Xiu proudly with disdain, and smiled disdainfully: "Brother Zhang, I think it is difficult for Shangshui County to produce a few talents besides you." ”

Wang Xiu gritted his teeth and smiled, suppressed his displeasure, and said lightly: "This is a good point, Brother Zhang is a merchant and a handsome man, and it is not a problem to send tribute to people." However, the people of Shangshui County are outstanding and capable, and they must solve the test this year, and all the gentlemen will have gains. ”

When several Shangshui County scholars present heard this, their faces were different, but they were quite useful in their hearts, and they had a good sense of Wang Xiu, and their faces were supported by everyone, and no one didn't like good words.

Zhang Qiyuan was smiling, but his heart was turbulent, he knew that he would take Wang Xiu's army, but he didn't expect the other party to break the situation easily, and by the way, he won over the merchants and scholars present. I thought that Wang Xiu's enlightenment was just the ability to do business, he deliberately avoided the correct theory of mind, and tried his best not to admit that Wang Xiu's literary brilliance thought that it completely relied on silence, but how could he have thought that today's sentence would break the game, which is really not to be underestimated.

In fact, he subconsciously didn't underestimate Wang Xiu, but he just didn't want to admit it.

Zhu Rong's face changed, and he said gloomily: "It seems that Your Excellency is full of confidence, and it seems that the test is really not satisfactory." ”

Wang Xiu didn't want to pay attention to Zhu Rong, in his opinion, Chen Zhou was just a passing scene, and there was nothing he had to pay attention to. However, there seems to be a little bit of eye-catching, and when he thinks of this, he is suddenly not in the mood to speak quickly here.

He Wei was quite proud, he was quite arrogant for a while, and he didn't pay much attention to Zhang Qiyuan, not to mention Zhu Rong, his father was about to become the big shopkeeper, and the Zhu family was just an outdated figure, so what to fear!

He frowned, and said with an unkind gaze: "My brother is the best among the people, I'm afraid that Your Excellency has never read the Righteous Theory of Mind. It's okay, even if it's unsatisfactory, it's much better than some pretentious people in Wanqiu. ”

Zhang Qiyuan was stunned, he didn't expect what would come out, his momentum was really not weak, he had always been cautious, he planned and then moved, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, if something goes wrong, he will become a demon.

Zhu Rong was furious and said sharply: "Shaft, you dare to speak wildly." ”

"What are you that dare to talk to me." What is a decibel raised voice.

"You are. So arrogant. Zhu Rong looked at He Wei coldly, his eyes were full of fierceness.

"This is what is Shangshui, and he is the little brother of the shopkeeper of the store pù of Shangshui County." Wang Xiu introduced it very casually, and did not look at Zhu Rong squarely.

Shangshui County, everything is in charge, what is the old way? Zhu Rong was shocked, no matter how stupid he was, he also knew that everything was prosperous and the proprietor was in business, and He Laodao was about to replace his father as the shopkeeper of the branch, but he ignored He Wei twice, and couldn't help but take a breath. xh118
