"It seems that the second brother really doesn't know" Xu Xian heard Xu Xuan say this, and knew that his second brother really didn't know the process of the Great Song Dynasty's participation in the imperial examination, so he patiently explained the imperial examination process of the Song Dynasty.

At this time, Xu Xuancai understood that the imperial examination of the Song Dynasty was very different from the second generation of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the later generations, for example, the Great Song Township Examination was only equivalent to a thorough examination, as long as it was a household registration in Qiantang County, the three generations of ancestors were innocent and had no criminal record, and people with no bad deeds participated, basically they could participate, and it didn't matter if there was a recommendation from the academy, as long as Li Zheng could issue a letter of guarantee to prove that there was a person like you, you could participate.

Then those who excel in the township examination will participate in the examination organized by the state in the autumn of that year, so that after being admitted, it is a lifter, but this kind of lifting is different from the identity of later generations, this is not a lifelong system, but only a three-year privilege, that is to say, after the examination, this person only has three years to participate in the provincial examination held by the Ministry of Rites, and what the examination has obtained is only a three-year period to participate in the provincial examination.

In the spring of the following year, after participating in the provincial examination of the Ministry of Rites, he took the palace examination that year and obtained the ranking, which is the so-called jinshi, which is considered to be a boil out. Moreover, the imperial examination of the Song Dynasty is also a wide variety, divided into the regular department, there are many kinds of regular subjects, in addition to the well-known, and the independent future generations of the Jinshi department, there are nine classics, five classics, Kaiyuan ceremony, three history, three rites, three passes, Ming Jing, Ming law, Ming characters and other subjects, but the most important thing for scholars is the Jinshi and Ming Jing two subjects, after the Jinshi to take the fame, the career is basically smooth, and even to the Zaifu, and other subjects, is to achieve fame, nothing more than just an ordinary professional business official, even Song DynastyThe doctor's medical examination can also be taken together with Confucian scholars until the medical department in the regular department is derived.

Listening to the different exams in Xu Xuan's impression, Xu Xuan had a headache, according to his study, his teacher Cheng Fang planned to let him enter the Shike, but now Xu Xuan's degree of learning, not to mention anything else, is to get the results of the township examination, I am afraid it is a little difficult.

Xu Xuan couldn't help but be silent, he wanted to get the fame of the imperial examination as soon as possible, he didn't want to be a scholar, as long as a showman was famous, but now he found that he was still too naïve, and the fame of the scholars in the Southern Song Dynasty was not at all like the lifelong system of the Ming and Qing dynasties. If you want to take the path of a scholar, only by passing the palace exam can you be considered famous. However, this is definitely not something that can be done in just a few years.

Immediately, Xu Xuan smiled bitterly, now that he is standing on the road of studying, can he give up? If that's the case, I'm afraid he won't have the face to see Cheng Fang, the teacher. So, he's going to take this path anyway!

"Second brother, are you okay?" Xu Xian on the side, looking at Xu Xuan's stunned appearance, couldn't help but shake Xu Xuan worriedly.

Xu Xuan, who was violently shaken back to his senses by Xu Xian, looked at Xu Xian's nervous cheeks, and said a little dizzy, "Hanwen, I'm fine, but if you continue to shake, I must have an accident." ”

Xu Xian heard Xu Xuan say this, and stopped, at this time, patients outside the medicine hall began to come in to diagnose patients, originally Xu Xuan also wanted to ask Xu Xian about him and Miss Wei, but looking at the current situation, I am afraid that it will not be possible.

Xu Xuan sat down, but he began to be busy diagnosing the disease, but in the morning there were some common cold symptoms, and some ordinary prescriptions were cured, at this time, the old lady who had impotence was also sober at this time, Xu Xuan carefully tasted the pulse, and felt that the old lady's pulse was more gentle and powerful than at the beginning, and there was no fever on her body, and she felt that the old lady had passed the dangerous period, and there should be no problem, so she let the patient go home.

Staying until noon, Linglong in the back came out to call them for dinner, Xu Xuan answered, went to the door, and took Xu Xian to the back hall to eat.

When Xu Xian sat down at the dining table, looking at the sumptuous meal, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, "This meal is really rich, the craftsmanship of the Qing'er girl is really good!" ”

Xu Xian's original intention was to praise and ease the atmosphere, there were three women in the room, Bai Suzhen was a young lady, and Linglong didn't look like cooking, only Xiaoqing was a maid, and cooking should be Xiaoqing's handiwork. But he didn't want to, what he was thinking was a little different from reality, at least after he finished speaking, Xiaoqing's face instantly turned red.

Today's lunch was made by Linglong and Bai Suzhen, but Xiaoqing, the maid, in addition to choosing vegetables and cutting vegetables, spent most of the time sitting next to the two of them watching the two of them busy - you can let her pick up a knife and cut people, but it is a little difficult for her to cook.

Therefore, Xu Xian's words, which originally eased the atmosphere, made Xiaoqing more and more embarrassed.

Xu Xian, the initiator of this matter, even if he was not familiar with human feelings, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

"Come on, let's try how this Dongpo meat tastes" Bai Suzhen on the side saw Xiaoqing's face change, for fear that her maid would hurt people, so she hurriedly greeted everyone and said.

Everyone laughed and took it, Xu Xuan also took a piece, this piece of meat melted in the mouth, but it was not very fatty, and he couldn't help but praise at the moment, "It's really a good craft, the white girl is a good cook."

Bai Suzhen covered her mouth and smiled, "Xu Gongzi is wrong, this dish is not made by me, it is the craftsmanship of the exquisite girl"

Xu Xuan glanced at Linglong, only to see Linglong, who did not change color when he killed people, and when Xu Xuan saw it, his pretty face turned red, and he lowered his head shyly.

"Everyone also tastes the dishes made by Sister Bai. It's also delicious," Linglong whispered

Everyone ate another dish, compared with the Dongpo meat that suits the taste of the locals, it has a unique flavor.

However, when everyone ate, the atmosphere was not warm, after all, there was an "outsider" named Xu Xian in the house, and Linglong Bai Suzhen, even if it was Xiaoqing, couldn't let go.

In fact, today, it is a bit unruly for them to sit together like this, after all, there are differences between men and women, but they eat at separate tables, in addition to not enough food, they are reluctant from the heart, and as a result, it is this kind of embarrassing lunch.

Xu Xian finished eating in a hurry, he couldn't stand this atmosphere, he gave up his hands at everyone, and went home directly, staying there, Xu Xuan could imagine that he would be stared at to death by the resentful eyes of the two little ladies.

It wasn't until Xu Xian left in embarrassment that Bai Suzhen remembered that she didn't ask Xu Xian what she wanted because she seemed to have this opportunity...... Maybe it's really as Xu Xuan said, what Xu Xian wants is to get married with Miss Wei. If it is just like this, this grace will be much simpler, and what can be measured by money, the cause and effect that is contaminated can be regarded as acceptable to Bai Suzhen.
