Chapter 50: The Examination of the National Son

Yu Chun always felt that there seemed to be something changed in his sister, but he couldn't say it for a while. But he can't care about it now, because he is about to go to see Pei Xijiu.

At the gate of Guozijian, he asked people to hand the letter to Pei Xian and wait in front of the door after drinking. After a while, a thin middle-aged man walked out.

Yu Chun had secretly seen Pei's sacrificial wine before, and when he saw this middle-aged man, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Student Yu Chun has seen sacrificial wine." ”

Pei Huaimin looked at Yu Chun, he knew from the Yu family, and he and Yu Cheng were still old acquaintances. But I have only heard that the eldest son of his family is famous in the army, and the second daughter also has a lot of fang yin in Beijing. Only this little son has not come out with any news.

Yu Chun in front of him looks like he is in his teens, and he is very handsome, but he is not very similar to Yu Cheng.

Seeing a little nervousness in his fawn-like apricot eyes, Pei Huaimin showed a smile that he thought was quite kind.

"Yu Chun, your father and I are in the old days, and King Qi is also a person I admire very much, and the person he can recommend will definitely not be a straw bale. It stands to reason that I should have just let you enter the Guozijian, just in case the other students noticed the injustice, and you need to take a test, would you like to? ”

This was already expected by Yu Chun, and he hurriedly said respectfully: "The student is willing." ”

"Good! is worthy of Yu Cheng's son, then you come with me! ”

Guozijian is a three-entry courtyard, and on the gate is the Guozijian plaque with today's holy inscription. It is about ten meters wide and sixty or seventy meters long, and the handwriting of wild grass and the rather large plaque are very impressive.

After entering, there is the first courtyard, which is not big, and you can see the head at a glance. Walking through the courtyard is a wide red lacquer door, on which is the book collection gate.

Walking into Jixian Gate, Yu Chunfang saw scholars in twos and threes moving in the courtyard.

Seeing a strange young man behind Pei Saijiu, they all looked at Yu Chun. Suddenly facing so many inquiring eyes, Yu Chun was still a little uncomfortable, his hand under his sleeve was slightly clenched, and he followed behind Pei Huaimin without squinting.

Passing through the courtyard, I saw the same red lacquer door, and the door of the book was too learning. There is a bell pavilion and a stock pavilion on the left and right sides.

When I entered through the door, I saw the Yilun Hall where the students of Guozijian were in class. Behind Yilun Hall is the Jingyi Pavilion and the Library.

Pei Huaimin took him to Jingyi Pavilion and stopped.

"This is where the masters of our country's eunuchs work." Pei Huaimin introduced to him.

When they saw Pei Huaimin, they saluted him one after another.

Pei Huaimin returned the salute, and then said to the two men in cloth clothes: "Master Lin and Master Ming, this is Yu Chun, a student who needs to take the exam today, and I will bother the two of you to prepare for the martial arts exam later." ”

The two nodded, then looked at Yu Chun. Yu Chun hurriedly saluted the two, and the two returned the salute.

After seeing each other, Pei Huaimin directly took him to a vacant room and handed him the test paper he had just picked up in Jingyi Pavilion.

Yu Chun knew that now the topic had finally begun.

Pei Huaimin left after handing him the test papers, and did not monitor him as he did the questions. After all, as the son of Yu Cheng, if he cheats in the exam, it can be regarded as him Pei Huaimin thinks highly of him Yu Chun.

Yu Chun carefully looked at the questions on the test paper, although he knew that the questions were mainly about the Four Books and Five Classics, but some of the questions were still skeptical when he wrote them. This is the disadvantage of not having an education in an orthodox college.

After about two sticks of incense, Yu Chun put down the pen with a complicated mind. To be honest, there are not many questions in this paper, but he has a bit of difficulty in answering.

As early as a stick of incense or so, Pei Huaimin came over to prepare to collect the papers, he didn't give Yu Chun time to answer the questions, but he had already explained that the time for the exam had come from the time he left to the time he came back. Seeing that Yu Chun hadn't finished yet, he didn't urge, just meditated on the side.

Yu Chun handed the test paper to Pei Huaimin, and watched him carefully read the answers he had written, and was very apprehensive.

This test paper is not very good, and if it were other students, he might not necessarily accept it. But Yu Chun...... Pei Huaimin was a little complicated in his heart.

He and Yu met when they were young, and both of them were unyielding. At that time, he was arrogant and arrogant, he didn't take everything into account, and he looked down on the old man and his coarse and depressed people. But Yu Cheng made a bet with him that he, a person he didn't like, would climb to the top of the third-grade military general within five years.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has a long history of emphasizing civil affairs over military force, and if a civilian official wants to be promoted, it will be difficult not to stay up for three or five years. What's more, Yu Cheng, who has no family background and is secretly called a turtle by the sons of these families? Want to climb the ranks of the military? Easier said than done!

All the later developments caught him off guard, and he was confident and proud, and he was not adapted to the rules of officialdom and was squeezed out step by step, until he came to the country to make sacrificial wine. And Yu Cheng, who he didn't look down on, rose step by step in the army.

Five years later, he lost the gamble, and he still couldn't wipe his face to face Yu Cheng, but the big old man never mentioned the original bet. Later, Yu Cheng was stationed in northern Xinjiang all the year round, and he was gone for decades, and until he died, he never saw Yu Cheng again.

Now facing Yu Cheng's son, he has to admit that he is selfish.

"Shang Ke, you are ready to go to the martial arts test!" Pei Huaimin said to Yu Chun with a smile.

Hearing that he had passed the literary exam, Yu Chun immediately breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, when he saw Pei Xianjiu looking at his test paper with a solemn face, he felt that he might not be able to pass the test. Now I am really happy to care.

After giving Pei Huaimin a salute, Yu Chun happily walked out of the room and went to the martial arts field.

Arriving at the martial arts field, Lin Fuzi and Ming Fuzi were already waiting here. After the two sides met, Yu Chun began the martial arts test.

The first bow horse in the martial arts test was the first horse archery, which was Yu Chun's most confident project. Lisuo got on the horse, and then hit the target in the eyes of Lin Fuzi.

In the second step shooting, Yu Chun lost a lot of points for foot shooting when he practiced at home. Yu Fei kept saying that he was a strange story that a person who could shoot well on a horse was not good at foot shooting.

Fingers clenched the longbow, concentrating slightly, Yu Chun took out an arrow from the arrow on his back and aimed it at the target. With a whoosh, the long arrow pierced the air and landed steadily at the bull's-eye.

It's done! Yu Chun didn't expect that he would play so well in foot shooting this time.

"The little boy is good, you have passed this level of bow horse." Lin Fuzi said with a smile.

Next up is the martial arts.

When he was arching the horse, Master Ming had been watching from the side, and when he saw Yu Chun passing, he didn't say much, and threw a sword directly at him.

Martial arts mainly depend on the strength and skill of the contestant, and the general weapon is determined by the master. Based on Yu Chun's state when he was archery, Ming Fuzi speculated that he might be more suitable for sword moves.

He guessed correctly, seeing that he threw over a sword, Yu Chun still had a feeling of luck. When he practiced at home, he didn't practice all eighteen weapons, but he was better at swords.

Originally, because of Princess Yunying's words, he was still a little prejudiced and worried about Master Ming. Now that I see it, I feel that this master has less words, but in fact, he is still quite good.

Master Ming didn't let him think about it, and after throwing him the sword, he launched an offensive.

Yu Fei's sword moves are elegant and flexible, the sense of power is not heavy, and the sword moves look very beautiful. Yu Chun will inevitably learn her moves and postures when he fights her sword at home.

At this time, this characteristic is manifested when facing Ming Fuzi.

Dodge, dodge, jump, slash...... He kept changing his posture under Master Ming's sword moves, because the speed was fast enough, even the experienced Master Ming couldn't find his flaws for a while.

After a quarter of an hour or so, Master Ming saw that he was always slippery, so he stood still. When Yu Chun forced over, he grabbed his collar and forced him to stop.

"That's it! You've won! ”
