Facts have proved that in the era without the Internet, the key to getting news fast depends on how big things are.

The triennial examination, and the most critical one, at the gate of the Gongyuan, Qian Yuan angrily reprimanded and kicked Zou Yinglong The scene spread by word of mouth and spread throughout the capital in a short period of time.

Gui Youguang has a very high reputation in the southeast, in the afternoon of the same day, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Changzhou, Songjiang have scholars to visit Qian Yuan in Suiyuan, Xu Wei, Zhu Dashou all admired Gui Youguang's literary talent, the former scolded Zou Yinglong, and even Wang Shizhen, who was about to break off friendship with Qian Yuan, came to the door.

Fortunately, everyone knows that the exam is not over yet, and they dispersed before dinner, but Zhu Dashou, Chen Younian, Tao Dalin and others simply moved to Suiyuan, first, to be quieter, closer to the examination room, and second, everyone was worried about Xian Yan, who was suffering from typhoid fever.

"You'd better go back to the Zhejiang Guild Hall." Qian Yuan frowned and said in a low voice: "Don't go in, I have already sent a maid and servant to take care of it, and the medicine has been caught and is being boiled." ”

Huiji Xian's family is a poor family, but Xian Yancai has learned and is known as a prodigy, originally he was not going to participate in this examination, after all, he was too young, or Tao Dalin and Chen Younian instigated to go to Beijing to take the exam together.

After all, he has not yet entered the official career, and his conscience has not been gnawed by dogs, and several fellow villagers refuse to leave, staying in Suiyuan and waiting for news.

Qian Yuan had no choice but to arrange a guest house for them to stay, and he would have to enter the examination room again in the early hours of tomorrow morning, and he might not be able to rest well when he went back.

However, the key to the exam is the first one, and the last two are purely going through the motions, Qian Yuan did not have the mentality of never answering the answer after taking the college entrance examination that year, and retold all the seven questions he wrote.

Among all the people, Xu Wei was the first to be recommended in terms of talent, and this guy shook his head and said: "If I am an examiner, I must be inferior." ”

Qian Yuan didn't bother to take care of him, and only looked at Zhu Dashou and Tao Dalin, the former is a recognized master of the scientific field, and the article is old-fashioned, and the latter is fair, and he reviews the article when he knows the article.

"This ......" Zhu Dashou scratched his chin, "it's good, I can't find any biased ......"

Xu Wei said coldly on the side, "Understand, right?" Meaning, yes, there's nothing eye-catching. ”

"No, no." Tao Dalin smiled and groaned: "It is also common sense to take the middle." ”

"It's common sense to miss the middle......"

Everyone couldn't help but smile and watched Xu Wei and Qian Yuan bickering, but this time, Qian Yuan obviously fell behind.

However, Qian Yuan saw that everyone was too tired to do it, so he drove everyone to rest early, as for whether Xian Yuan wanted to participate in the second game, firstly, it depends on his physical condition tomorrow, and secondly, it depends on his own wishes, no one will choose this kind of thing for him.

As soon as Qian Yuan returned to the house, Zhou Ze followed, "Young master, there is a letter." ”

"Yes." Qian Yuan opened it and looked at it a few times, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, Xiao Qi was asking Qian Yuan from beginning to end if he was doing well in the examination room, whether he was offended, and he didn't mention how he did in the exam...... It's too deliberate, I guess this Nizi hasn't been in love much in her previous life.

Xiangling, who was making the bed, looked at this scene, frowned and muttered a few times, she had already discovered that every time Zhou Escort brought a letter, the young master was always in a good mood, and he wouldn't have an outer room outside.

When he woke up, everyone packed up their things and set off again, Xian Yan reluctantly got up and had to go, and everyone could only respect his choice.

"This is Huating Qian Zhancai, right?"

"Show your talents, do a good job."

"That Zou Yinglong seems to be from Lanzhou, who knows which hall he lives in?" A Kunshan man rolled up his sleeves and shouted.

There is a well-read and strong memory frowned and said: "Lanzhou does not have a town, just a Lanzhou Wei, and the king of Su moved to Tuntian, Lan County, which should be assigned to Shaanxi." ”

It is difficult for the scholars in the north, southwest, and northwest to understand how famous Gui Youguang is in the southeast, but they all saw it, and Huating Qian Zhancai beat Zou Yinglong, and almost all the scholars in the southeast were applauding.

Even when he entered the dragon gate, the inspector couldn't help but look up and down for a while, looking gentle and elegant, he didn't expect his temper to be so explosive, uh, his skills are not bad...... It is said that Zou Yinglong was kicked overnight and went to invite Lang Zhong.

The second is to test the Five Classics, and try the edict, judgment, table, and edict, as well as a policy question, which is not very difficult for Qian Yuan.

Except for the Five Classics questions, the others require a lot of reading and experience as support, and these are Qian Yuan's strengths.

Almost none of the candidates can compare with Qian Yuan's reading, and Qian Yuan also often goes to the government office in Huizhou, and Qian Zheng also mentions it a lot.

The third session is simpler, with five questions, because few scholars in this era have insights before entering the office, so the examiner doesn't even look at it.

In these two games, Qian Yuan finished the questions early, and then began to eat leisurely, and also learned from Pan Yunduan to bring in the copper hot pot.

Like the township exam, the last invigilator didn't care much, and the invigilators were also very lax, Qian Yuan and Pan Yunduan even set up a hot pot in the aisle to feast, which provoked many candidates to come up, and it was almost a bonfire party...... Until the chief examiner Wu Shan dispersed the crowd.

On February 18th, the 35th Jiajing examination finally came to an end, and the candidates who took off their skin once every three years poured out of the dragon gate, and the rest was the work of the examiners.

"Normally, it's a matter of luck."

To whom, Qian Yuan is this sentence, even to his uncle Lu Shi, it is really a fact, it is lucky to be able to enter the department, and it can only be said that it is reasonable if you can't enter the department.

"Xu Fu sent someone to ask, how do you answer?" Lu asked in a low voice: "After the exam, you will give a letter of approval, right?" ”

"Normally, it's a matter of luck." Qian Yuan said this again, and continued with a smile: "When the list is released, my nephew will give my uncle and aunt an explanation." ”

After a pause, Qian Yuan asked in a low voice: "By the way, has the Xu Mansion come over and measured the size of Suiyuan?" ”

"It's overmeasured."

"Didn't you say what kind of wood to use?"

"Mahogany." Lu recalled, "It was said that a batch of Annan Kingdom came over, and it is not easy to find mahogany now." ”

Mahogany grows very slowly, and the popularity as furniture is mainly after Zheng He went to the West, and it was the Three Treasures eunuch who brought a large number of mahogany materials from Southeast Asia.

However, there are fewer and fewer mahogany materials on the market in recent years, and a set of mahogany furniture ...... Tie Tie's heirloom, Xu Jie is quite generous, Qian Yuan said he was very satisfied.

"Brother Zhancai, how did you answer the last question?" Xian Yan, who came in a hurry, asked repeatedly.

After sending his uncle and mother away, Qian Yuan looked back and thought for a while, "The last ...... It's about taxes, right? ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Just write it, as long as you don't get involved in sea trade." Qian Yuan looked at it carefully, "Sick?" ”

After the first exam, they were all carried back, the second was held in, and the third was back to normal, and the young man was in good health.

"It's over, I'll be involved in the sea trade." Xian Yan hung his head in frustration.

Qian Yuan sighed and persuaded: "It's okay, the last one, the examiner doesn't think much of it." ”

"But what if it looks?"

"Then come back with me in three years." Qian Yuan put his arm around the kid's shoulders and entered Suiyuan.

Well, there was silence in the garden, and there was not a single sound.

"Some have gone back to the Zhejiang Guild Hall, and some have gone to sleep in the guest house." Yang Wen walked over lightly, "It's all explained, sleep well, and then ......"

That night, the lights in the garden were not extinguished all night.

I could faintly hear all kinds of noises coming from inside, such as "hu", "bump" and the like...... (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
