Two days later, Mo Li went to Gaoyou Academy under the leadership of the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion. At this time, there was still some time before the start of the exam, and the housekeeper took Mo Li to meet with the dean in private.

The housekeeper smiled and said to the dean: "Dean Wu, it's been a long time. This is my distant nephew of the Chen family. At this time, there was still an hour before the start of the exam, so I took him to meet Dean Wu first. Later, when the hospital exam, I hope that Dean Wu will take care of it. This is a little bit of our wife's heart, and I hope Dean Wu will accept it with a smile. As he spoke, he quietly stuffed a piece of silver into Dean Wu's hand.

Dean Wu prevaricated: "Old Wu, I am not good at this, as long as this son of your family is really knowledgeable, why bother to fix these vain things? If it weren't for the kindness of Mr. Xing in Taohuawu, it would have been impossible to temporarily let this son of your family take this exam." ”

The housekeeper's smile was still on his face, but he said with some embarrassment: "Dean Wu, this is ...... You better take it, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to my wife, don't make it difficult for me. ”

Dean Wu resolutely said: "At this time, I don't want to mention it again, how can I be bewitched by just a little money when I read the book of sages? ”

The housekeeper was about to say anything more, but Mo Li interrupted him and said, "Steward Liu, you put it away, I believe that Dean Wu is definitely not a person who waits for a price to sell, let alone a person who sells fame and reputation." But none of that matters, the important thing is that I believe in my own knowledge. If you can't even get into the show, how can you enter Beijing and win the gold list?!"

Dean Wu listened to Mo Li's words, showed a bright smile on his face, and said, "Good boy, just talk to you, I am optimistic about you." If you achieve fame in the future, don't forget Lao Wu and me. You don't need to be on the side, just ask me to drink a glass of turbid wine when you pour it. It's okay for me to boast that the champion invited me to drink!hahaha!"

The housekeeper was silent for a moment, and then said, "So, then I wish the son good luck." Liu Mou's subordinates were inconvenient to stay in the academy for a long time, so he waited for his son in front of the academy later. ”

"As it should be. Mo Li clasped his fists and saluted.

After a few more polite words with Dean Wu, Mo Li and Steward Liu went out of the academy, and Mo Li walked towards the examination room alone. After Steward Liu saw Mo Li enter the examination room, he went out and waited.

After finding his place in front of the exam number, Mo Li sat down, closed his eyes, and didn't know what he was thinking. In the eyes of others, it seems to be cramming Buddha's feet, which provokes several candidates who also come early to ridicule constantly.

"Yo, which son is this? Why do you look so tight? Isn't it a scholar who got in?"

"Scholar? I see that his facial features are exquisite, is it the new son-in-law of someone's family? No wonder we don't know him. ”

"What kind of son-in-law, how can a man be so handsome? I see, this must be the eldest lady of which family disguised herself as a man, and disguised herself for later reference. Isn't that what is written in the script?"

......

Ignoring everyone's ridicule, Mo Li still closed his eyes alone.

Seeing that Mo Li couldn't talk, everyone felt bored after saying a few words, so they returned to their seats and prepared for the exam. After all, exams are serious and you can't put the cart before the horse.

About an hour and a half later, Dean Wu and two middle-aged men walked slowly into the examination room and said aloud to the full audience of candidates: "Hello everyone. My name is Wu Qi and I am the chief examiner of this exam. These two were sent by the government to cooperate with the invigilators. Be quiet during the test, do not move around freely, and do not make noise. Once discovered, it will be treated as cheating, disqualified from the exam, and banned from taking the exam for life. ”

"Dean Wu, I don't know what to do if I have questions about the exam papers?" asked Mo Li.

Before Dean Wu could answer, a candidate seemed to be trying to make a good impression on Dean Wu, so he preemptively said: "The test papers are all written by Dean Wu himself, what can be the problem? Are you questioning Dean Wu? Don't you kid want to live?"

Hearing the candidate's words, Dean Wu frowned, but he didn't answer.

Seeing that Wu Qi didn't answer, Mo Li asked again, "Please also ask Dean Wu to clarify your doubts." ”

Dean Wu replied: "This test paper was jointly written by Lord Yin of Tianfu Mansion and Lord Yin of Suzhou Prefecture, and I have personally reviewed it, so it is said that there will be no problems." Within a quarter of an hour after the test paper is issued, if you really have any doubts about the test paper, you can nod your head and signal me, and I will solve your doubts in a unified manner. ”

"The students got it. Mo Li arched his hand.

"Now that you don't have any doubts, let's start distributing the test papers. Wu Qi said to the two people beside him.

The two of them nodded, and began to hand out the exam papers.

said that it was an examination room, but in fact, it was a six-meter-square classroom, and there were only eleven candidates in the entire examination room, including Moli. In this way, if the ink is inseparable, under normal specifications, it can refer to ten people at a time.

After the test papers were issued, Wu Qi said: "This college exam has a total of one hour, and as soon as the time comes, all exams will be stopped immediately. ”

After seeing the test paper, Mo Li was stunned. I thought it was the same as when I was a child when I was in school, there were many topics, but I followed with just one sentence, "Please talk about your views on today's Qing nuisances and internal troubles." ”。

Mo Wei thought: "This exam question is really suitable for the current situation!"

After thinking for a moment, Mo Li immediately started writing.

After about half an hour, Mo Li handed in the test paper. Wu Qi glanced at Mo Li curiously, curious about what he had written. It's just that it's not time to mark the papers, so I have to give up.

After returning to Chen's Mansion with Steward Liu, Chen Fang asked Mo Li, "How did you do in the exam?"

Mo Li replied: "Naturally, it can be done. ”

"In this way, I am relieved. I'm tired from today's exam, so let's go down and rest first. Let Yuan'er cook you something to eat and send it to your room at night, which can be regarded as a reward for you. ”

"Thank you for your mother-in-law's kindness, and my son-in-law has retired. ”

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the day of the announcement of the results has come.

On this day, Chen Yuanyuan came to the door of Moli House early. After waking up Moli, he handed him fresh and clean clothes.

Mo Li, who had changed into new clothes, felt a slight grinding sensation on the cuffs, so he raised his hand to take a look. At a glance, it turned out that there was a beautiful lotus pattern on the cuffs. Mo Li thought, "Looking at her shyness when she gave away the clothes, I think it should be Wan Fang's girl who showed it herself." ”

After getting dressed neatly, Mo Li walked out of the room and came to the courtyard. Seeing that Chen Yuanyuan had been waiting outside the door, he was moved, and it was really "marrying a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for", although this "wife" has not yet passed the door.

After breakfast, under Mo Li's repeated excuses, Chen Fang still insisted on taking Mo Li to the academy to check the results in person. couldn't resist Chen Fang, so Mo Li had to rely on it.

It will be a little more troublesome for a woman to go out. About an hour later, Chen Fang packed up and rushed to Gaoyou Academy with Mo Li.

Waiting for Mo Li to feel the academy, Dean Wu glanced at Mo Li with a little meaning. Mo Li smiled awkwardly and didn't explain anything.

After Mo Li sat down, Wu Qi spoke: "Now that everyone has arrived, the old man will start to announce the results." The college exam is not ranked, so I announced the results directly, and everyone has doubts?"

After pausing for a moment, and seeing that no one had any objections, Wu Qi continued: "Since there is no objection, I will announce it." Among the eleven of you this time, there are three who are talented in the examination, one of them is Mo Li, the second is Du Kangan, and the third is Liu Zixiao. The rest of the people are all children, and they hope to redouble their efforts in the coming year, and use this three-person example to strive for fame as soon as possible. The rest of the people are asked to leave, and the three showmen are invited to stay. ”

After everyone left, Mo Li found a very interesting phenomenon. In addition to himself, the other two, one is a child about ten years old, and the other is an old man in his fifties, whose age seems to be in the same way as Li Yan.

"First of all, congratulations to the three of you on the success of the examination, since then, the three of you can not kneel when you see the official, see the person is a higher level, I hope to redouble your efforts in the future, as soon as possible to get the exam, to be an official, to make more contributions to my Ming Dynasty. After a pause, Wu Qi continued: "Du Kangan, you are old, and you are tired this time, so go back and rest first." Mo Li and Liu Zixiao stay for the time being, you two are still young, I have a few words to tell you two. ”

"Yes" the three of them should be. Then, Du Kangan left the academy with an excited face.

After Du Kangan left, Wu Qi said: "Lao Du is old and can't stand the toss. In addition, he has been taking the exam for nearly 40 years for this show alone, and he is not hopeful of this examination, so I will call him back first. The two of you are allowed to stay in order to talk to the two of you about the examination. ”

As soon as Mo Li was about to speak, Wu Qi continued: "As we all know, this person needs to pass the township examination, and this township examination is only once every three years. This time it was also the time for the two of you to hit the big luck and happened to meet the township test. Half a month later, it was time for the township test. At that time, I hope that the two of you can go to participate in the township test, one can try your own catties, and the other is to accumulate experience, in short, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. I wonder what you two think?"

"The two of me ......" Mo Li just said three words, and was interrupted by Liu Zixiao: "Grandpa Wu, you can rest assured, with my literary talent, it is naturally easy to take the exam." ”

"Hehe, Grandpa Wu naturally believes in you. This confidence is a good thing, but you still need to do what you can, and you must not be impetuous. ”

Liu Zixiao said very confidently: "I know, Grandpa Wu." I will attend on time when the time comes, Grandpa Wu is still worried about the big brother next to me. ”

Seeing that Liu Zixiao was so self-confident, a bad taste suddenly rose in the bottom of the ink, and he said: "Little brat, your brother and I are going to take the top prize, just follow your brother's ass and eat fart, don't drag my brother back!"

When Liu Zixiao heard Mo Li's words, his nose was crooked, and he roared: "What are you talking about?!You are just lucky to be born a few years early, so you dare to look down on me like this?!If my father knows, he will definitely break your dog's leg!"

"I have read the books of sages since I was a child, but I have never seen such a profane as you swear. If you only cultivate this level, you will not be able to pass the exam. ”

"You...... You ......" was teased by Mo Li, and Liu Zixiao was so angry that he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Mo Li looked at Liu Zixiao silently, just watching quietly.

After a long time, Liu Zixiao's eyes rolled, as if he had thought of some good way, and said, "Why don't we gamble?"

Mo Li asked a little funny: "Oh, although people like me who have read the books of sages since childhood should not be involved in such things as gambling, but since you want to gamble with me so sincerely, let's talk about how to gamble first, right?"

"If I pass the exam, you will kneel down and kowtow to me to make amends, and call me 'grandpa' three times. On the contrary, if I don't pass the exam, I will kneel down and kowtow to you to make amends, and call you 'grandpa' three times. ”

"So, what does it matter to me? Why do I have to do with you if you don't get hit?" Mo Li asked with a smile.

Liu Zixiao pondered for a moment and said: "So, what do you think of this over there? If I win, I win, if you win, you win, so it's fair, right?"

"What if you and I both win?"

"If you win the move, how about winning or losing according to the ranking?" Liu Zixiao said.

"Yes, yes. What if neither of us are successful?"

"Seeing that you are old, I will let you do some, if you don't win, you win. Are you satisfied?"

Mo Li sighed in his heart: "A child is a child, it's so easy to take the bait." But there was no ambiguity in his mouth: "A word is a certainty! Then we'll see you in half a month." ”

Seeing that the more the two of them talked, the more outrageous it became, Wu Qi hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, since this matter has been decided, I will go to the Gaoyou Mansion to participate in the township test in half a month." At that time, the talents of nearby villages and towns will come to Gaoyou Mansion to participate in the triennial township test. I hope you two will go back and memorize more books, and don't embarrass me at Gaoyou Academy. ”
