In the first month, seeing that several people who live in the Longmen Inn are always invited to go out to eat and listen to the drama in the same year as their fellow villagers, Ren He is envious, so he asked his younger brother Ren to invite a few fellow villagers who have made friends in the same year, and plan to drink and talk with friends to relieve the pain of homesickness.

However, for the first time, only a few people who lived in the provincial pavilion were invited, and He Heng and Liu Shanyang, who lived in the provincial pavilion, did not come under the pretext of working hard. For the second time, even those township exams who lived in the provincial pavilion did not attend the banquet under various excuses in the same year.

At first, I thought that they all had to work hard, until Ren Yan once went to the street to buy something, and overheard a few family members of his fellow villagers talking behind his back, Ren He knew how unbearable his reputation was, and only then did he know why his fellow villagers stayed away from him in the same year, and he didn't need to ask carefully to know that this was Han Si's ghost!

When people are unlucky, they drink cold water and stuff their teeth, Qian Junchen borrowed silver a few years ago and said that it was just a turnover, and it would be repaid in a month at most, but he waited for more than a month not only did he not pay it back, but he couldn't even see the figure anymore, unlike before when he always came to eat and drink.

Ren He had a belly full of fire, if it weren't for Ren Resentment, he would really go to the mansion to find Han Si desperately, and he would really go to the mansion to find Qian Junchen's theory.

My brother is right, it doesn't matter if the sky falls.

Ren He calmed down his emotions, thinking that he was not defeated after the "name split", as long as he could be named on the gold list, he would be able to "be proud of the spring breeze and see all the Chang'an flowers in one day". So since then, the door has not been out of the door, and I have stayed in the inn without distractions and read the first few subjects of "Will Try Ink", and read the "Collection of Famous Chapters of the Imperial Examination" which collects famous articles such as "All Gentlemen Are and Huanyan" written by Zhang Wujin and "There is a Daoqiu in the World".

The head is overhanging, the cone is piercing, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the sixth day of the first month of March, and it is also the day when the emperor will take the examiner, the president, the vice president and the examiner of the eighteenth room.

I heard from a few people who had taken the test before but did not have a Chinese style who lived at the Longmen Inn said that the officials who had been listed as candidates would prepare court clothes and luggage, wear regular clothes, hang court beads, and go to kneel outside the noon gate to wait for the announcement. As soon as the auspicious time comes, the guards of the Qianqing Gate will go to receive the decree, and the decree will be handed over to the university scholar to open the seal at noon, and the edict will be announced together with the inspector Yushi.

Those who have not been pointed out are not allowed to stand up and exit, and are not allowed to stay for a moment.

Those who were released did three bows and nine bows to thank them, and were not allowed to stay, did not return to their private houses, and took the carriage prepared by the Ministry of Rites to go straight to the Tribute Courtyard, and entered the palace on the same day......

The first test is the ninth day of March, and the candidates are shortlisted on the eighth day of March, which means that there are still two days to prepare, Ren He also wants to make good use of these two days, and before dawn, he and his younger brother Ren Ren went to Chongwenmen with a few people from the same guest house, as long as you know who the president, vice president and the examiner of the eighteenth room are, you can quickly go to the bookstore to buy the previous articles of the president, vice president and examiners, and refer to their preferences from the articles.

All in all, it's a big deal for the candidates.

Not only did Ren He go, but Fei Erye, He Heng, Liu Shanyang and other candidates who lived in the Chongqing Hall also went early, Pan Er and Datou wanted to see the excitement and asked Han Xiufeng if he was going. Han Xiufeng didn't want to join in the excitement, let alone make a good first thing the next person of the candidates, so he covered his head and pretended not to hear, but he fell asleep again, and it wasn't until he was woken up by Pan Er that he found that it was already dawn.

"What the hell is going on?" Han Xiufeng rubbed his eyes and yawned and asked.

Pan Er was on the rise, and asked eagerly: "Fourth brother, do you know who I see?" ”

"Who do you see?"

"Qian Junchen!"

"Who do I think is all the fuss about him. I don't want to see him, because it's not good to see him. Han Xiufeng stretched and sat up to find clothes.

"Fourth brother, this time is different from before!"

"What's the difference?"

Pan Er pushed him, and said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Fourth brother, you won't believe what I said, you can't even think of it." In the morning, the president, vice president and the examiner of the eighteenth room will be examined, Master Ji went with his luggage and his family, and Qian Junchen also went with his luggage, but Master Ji did not choose it, his turtle son actually chose it, and I saw him go to the Gongyuan in a carved car! ”

"Qian Junchen was selected as the same examiner?" Han Xiufeng couldn't believe that this was true, thinking that Pan Er had heard or read it wrong.

"I don't believe you asked the second master," Pan Er was anxious, and actually got up and shouted: "Second master, second master!" ”

Second Master Fei was eating breakfast in the hall, put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "What are you shouting, you're here." ”

Han Xiufeng quickly put on his pants, looked at Second Master Fei, who had just walked into the wing, and asked, "Second Master, what's going on?" Did Qian Junchen really choose the same examiner? ”

"Jane is selected," the more Fei Er Ye thought about it, the more funny he became, and he couldn't help but say: "It turns out that he used all the silver he borrowed from all over the place on this, it is really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, and when he comes out of the Gongyuan, he will be the master of the house, and he will be able to sit and receive the silver of the filial piety of the Chinese candidates in his room." ”

"Master Ji didn't even choose it, but he was able to choose it, it's ridiculous!"

"Master Ji didn't go out of the way, and he didn't make any money. He walked the door and spent money, and it was not at all surprising that he was chosen by Jane. Second Master Fei paused, and then said: "Besides, the eighteenth room and the examiner Hanlin Academy have already occupied twelve rooms, and the Hanlin Academy is so Hanlin Master, even if it is ranked in terms of seniority, Master Ji may not be able to rank." ”

"What about Qian Junchen, how did Qian Junchen get on the line?" Han Xiufeng asked puzzled.

"He is different from Master Ji, he was selected by the emperor from the roster of the Ministry of Rites, although he is not Hanlin, he is also considered a Jinshi. If it is really about his background, the same examiner selected from the Zongren Mansion is not as good as him. ”

"It's really unexpected that such a bizarre thing happened without the exam!"

"Anyway, I have to hurry up and buy articles from a few presidents, vice presidents, and fellow examiners."

"Second master, wait, who is the president and vice president?"

"The university scholar Zhuo Bingtian Zhuo is the president, and the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Jia Zhenjia, the Metropolitan Inspectorate, the Zuodu Yushihua, and the left attendant of the Military Department, Sun Baoyuan, are the vice presidents. I don't remember the other examiners clearly, but Junjie wrote them down, and he was waiting at the door, and I left first. ”

This time, the examiner of the exam, Lord Zhuo, Han Xiufeng is like thunder.

Because Lord Zhuo is a native of Sichuan, he is one of the three court members of Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years. It's just that Lord Zhuo is already a very popular minister, and there are too many people who want to go through his old man's door, and he hasn't been to the Sichuan Hall for many years to avoid suspicion.

Thinking of Qian Junchen turning into a fellow examiner, Han Xiufeng's eyes lit up: "Brother Pan, hurry up and chase the second master, just say that I have something to do with his old man!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Didn't Qian Junchen be the same examiner, his previous articles are now valuable, hurry up and ask the second master if he has it, if there is, we will quickly copy dozens of copies and take them to the provincial pavilions to sell!"
