"Your grandfather may have paid more attention to the qualifications of students when selecting students, and did not seriously examine their conduct!" Gao Jing said with emotion.

"Since my mother died, my grandfather often blamed himself and told my aunt's family to help me more, otherwise I would have been killed!" Cui Yuan said sadly.

"The deceased is gone, you should look forward, and now it is more important to get the Jinshi and get out of your father's control!" Gao Jing comforted.

Cui Yuan wiped his tears with a handkerchief: "Brother Jing is right, I am not qualified to be sad about the past now, I should cheer up, take the Jinshi examination, and get out of their control!" ”

"That's right!" Gao Jing said with relief.

"Thank you, I'm going to participate in the elite selection competition in half a month, do you want to participate?" Cui Yuan asked.

"Elite tryouts?" Gao Yu wondered.

"Don't you know? The township examination will be held in September, and the academy will hold an elite selection competition half a year before each township examination, all students from the non-elite class can participate, and the top ten students can train with the students of the elite class and participate in the township examination! Cui Yuan explained.

"Oh...... I remembered what the mountain chief had said. Gao Yu said.

"When you say that, I remember it too!" Xu Qing said excitedly: "What the mountain chief said when we visited the mountain chief for the first time. ”

"Do you participate? If you participate, I have a companion too! Cui Yuan asked.

Gao Jing glanced at them and said, "We won't participate." ”

"Then I'll participate in it myself!" Cui Yuan said with some frustration.

"Third brother, go and participate!" Gao Lang suddenly suggested.

"If you don't go, what am I going to do?" Gao Jing said angrily.

"We don't go because we don't have enough strength, and you don't go to accompany us!" Gao Lang said solemnly.

"Big brother, I'm only 11 years old this year, I'm too young, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it! Besides, after taking the Jinshi examination, we will be officials from all over the world, and we will not be able to meet in the next few years, so I want to accompany you more while studying! Gao Jing said sincerely.

"Brother Gao, don't persuade Brother Jing, he is too young, and now the township test is too eye-catching." Cui Yuan persuaded.

"Thank you Brother Cui for your understanding!" Gao Jing thanked.

"Friends are supposed to understand each other, and I just regret not being able to participate in the tryouts with you." Cui Yuan sighed.

"Are you sure you're going to the tryouts now?" Gao Jing asked worriedly.

"Be sure, in fact, I go to my aunt's house every year to live for a period of time, and my sister-in-law often tutors me in my homework, in fact, with my level, I can already participate in the county exam, but my stepmother is in the way, until Cui Han participates in the county exam, she has no excuse to hinder me, otherwise I would have been admitted to Xiucai! My sister-in-law has already taught me the content of the township exam, so I am still quite sure about this selection competition! Cui Yuan replied.

"Your aunt's family is so good to you!" Gao Lang said with emotion.

"It is my grandfather and my aunt's family's care for me that makes me still have expectations for the world, and I will not be full of resentment because of the unfair treatment in my childhood!" Cui Yuan said with emotion.

"Then you have to work hard, strive to pass the selection competition, township test and general examination once, and repay them with excellent results!" Gao Lang encouraged.

"I will!" Cui Yuan said firmly.

"Okay, let's not talk about these heavy topics, we're having a celebration dinner today, let's be happy!" Gao Jing said.

"If you don't come to a word solitaire, who can't catch it will perform a show?" Xu Qing proposed.

"I think it's okay, it's too monotonous just to eat and celebrate!" Gao Yu agreed.

"So who does it start?" Xu Qing asked.

"Let's start with me, follow the clockwise direction of me-Gao Yu-Gao Jing-Xu Qing-Cui Yuan, what do you think?" Gao Lang asked.

After hearing this, everyone nodded, Gao Lang cleared his throat and began to say: "Then I will start with one, everyone listen: one heart." ”

"Spirited"

"Carry it forward"

"Looking for a needle in a haystack"

……

I thought that the matter of the selection competition had been turned over, but who knew that Wang Fuzi also talked about it the next day.

"Registration for the elite selection competition has begun, and any of you who are interested can come to the old man to sign up!" Wang Fuzi said.

Who knew that after waiting for two days, only Cui Yuan signed up in the class, and Wang Fuzi said angrily: "There are several people in other classes who have signed up, and only Cui Yuan has signed up in our class!" Gao Jing, your grades are better than Cui Yuan, and you have signed up too! ”

Gao Jing stood up and replied weakly: "Master, I am only 11 years old this year, and I don't want to take the township test so early!" ”

"Who let you take the township exam? I'm asking you to participate in the Elite Tryouts! Wang Fuzi said angrily.

"Didn't you say that you have to take the township test after participating in the tryouts?" Gao Jing wondered.

"It's good to participate in the selection competition and get the top ten to participate in the township test, but it doesn't mean that you have to participate in the township test to participate in the trial." Wang Fuzi explained.

"So what do you do with the tryouts?" Gao Jing wondered.

"It's for the youth competition!" Wang Fuzi said cautiously.

"What is a youth competition?" Gao Jing asked.

"We all know that there is a big cultural difference between the north and the south, and the southern style of writing is more prevalent, and most of the people on the list of the annual examination are the southern lifters, so the southern gentry have many criticisms, and many times they have written to ask the students of the north and the south to be admitted in a ratio of 1:1, so there is a lot of injustice to the students in the south, so His Majesty decided to hold a youth competition every three years, and the students sent by the Songshan Academy in the south and the Xingzhi Academy in the north will be admitted according to the proportion of the number of wins and losses, so the youth competition every three years is the top priority of the college. The College will arrange a selection competition in advance to select outstanding students in all aspects for professional training, in order to win the first place in the selection competition! And if any student can win the first place for the academy in the youth competition, then he will be a predetermined person when he participates in the township examination, which is a default rule for everyone, and no one can have any objections, but the ranking depends on how well he answers the test papers! Wang Fuzi explained.

"Excuse me, Master, what is the young Saibi?" Gao Jing asked solemnly.

"The six arts of the gentleman, guqin, Go, calligraphy, painting, arithmetic, riding and archery, and strategy. As long as any of you can get the first place in any of them, you can be designated as a lifter, so students with special talents should sign up! Well, give you a quarter of an hour of free time to think about it, and you can also discuss it with a friend! After the prince finished speaking, he took the book and sat outside.

When Gao Lang, Gao Yu, and Xu Qing hurriedly gathered around Gao Jing's table to discuss whether to go, Wang Fuzi suddenly walked up to him and said, "Gao Jing, I have already signed up for you, you don't have to negotiate anymore!" After speaking, everyone who was stunned waved their sleeves and left in a chic manner.
