After the examination on August 16, the township test appeared, and the talents cheered and called friends, and the rich went to the pen holder alley, carp alley, and donkey hoof alley. The poor go to the Temple of Heaven in Nancheng, the Beiqinghe Factory, and the Goldfish Pond, which is the concentration of local prostitutes.

Regardless of whether you are rich or poor, a few days before the list, everyone will not go home, in this emotional state of anxiety and fear, it is most suitable to find a sister to vent. They were glad that although the quality of Jingshi's sister was not as good as that of Qin Huaihe, the service attitude was good.

The township test list is mostly selected on the day of Chen, Yinri, so it is called the Dragon and Tiger List, and because the Mid-Autumn Festival osmanthus is in full bloom, it is also called the osmanthus list.

"The dragon and tiger are on the list, and the osmanthus is smelled under the osmanthus tree, which is a good time in late autumn." Out of the gate of Longmen and Gongyuan, Zhang Maocai twisted his body and stretched his waist: "Hey, do you want to go to the goldfish pond to see the 'goldfish'?" It's cheap there! ”

"Disappointing, at your age, won't your family marry you?" Wang Yinglin made a face: "Although it is common for Xiucai to raise people to linger in fireworks, it is forbidden to patrol the city yamen, and besides, it will also affect the reputation of our Shanhai League." ”

"Don't talk to me about those Taoisms, I'm not rare." Zhang Maocai looked at Jia Cong and smiled: "I understand, Zili hasn't opened meat yet, you defend him, right?" Come on, if you don't go, I'll go myself. ”

Zhang Maocai went to the kiln, and Kuang Liuhe shook his head in disappointment: "I am not a lady when I meet someone, I am not a lady when I meet someone!" ”

Jia Cong: "......"

"It's been eight or nine days, I'll go home and report it." Jia Cong said goodbye, thought about it and said: "You should also do your best to be a landlord, come out and I will treat you, and you will pick the store." ”

"The banquet wine order is annoying, it is better to go to the suburbs to have a look, there are markets and temple fairs in Beijing every seven days. On that day, I entered Beijing from the West Gate, and saw a young woman with hair and cultivation from a distance, who looked like a woman from the south of the Yangtze River, with a slender waist and willows, and her appearance and demeanor were extraordinary. ”

Wang Yinglin folded the fan against his chin, and looked leisurely: "This is a wonderful thing, much better than Zhang Maocai's vulgar things, he should regret it, and he is in Ximen Muni Courtyard." ”

Kuang Liuhe muttered: "Cultivation with hair? It's not appropriate for us scholars to approach this kind of person, right? ”

"Alas......" This time it was Wang Yinglin's turn to be disappointed, and he scoffed: "She is a monk, isn't it good for us to pray for blessings and ask God?" Does Bian Yujing know? People are also monks, and there are still romantic stories. ”

Simon Muni Monastery? Could it be......

"Whatever, I'll pay for the water and wine." Jia Cong agreed, and the three of them said goodbye.

After eight or nine days, as soon as I came out, I had a feeling of seeing the light of day again.

……

Dongcheng, Luofu, Wei Wuzhi stayed at Luo Min's house, Luo Min was qualified as the head of the six departments, and he was the boss of the department.

The pavilion in the backyard, the stone table and chess table, the two uncles and nephews played against each other, and Luo Min held Baizi: "I have read your three articles, and with Xu Shilang's recommendation, there is no doubt that Xie Yuan is also promising." ”

Wei Wuzhi was short of breath, and hurriedly calmed down, and the Go Heizi took a few steps to make a faint move: "I'm ashamed, thanks to my uncle's teaching." ”

……

The curtain in the Gongyuan, the house official Qian Xihong recommended the first article in the previous article, and the main examiner Yu Jackie Chan finished reading, and asked the deputy chief examiner Xu Youzhen to take a look, Xu Youzhen read in a low voice:

"The Ming Hadith is constant, and Doctor Chu can remember it."

The eight bigwigs understand very well that the question is clear, and it is very good, the "Hadith" breaks the "Yayan", and the "Doctor Chu" breaks the "Ye Gong", which shows that this candidate is familiar with the history of the Spring and Autumn Period, and his historical foundation is good.

Xu Youzhen read the last two comparisons: "Fu Yayan was spread in the Eastern Kingdom, and after being written by Lin, he became a literary sect of his own." And Ye Gong is from the south, and he has been taught by the saints to read the sheep and witness his father. ”

At the end of the reading: "But the Master cannot be silent!" ”

That's it!

The sinister smile on the corner of Xu Youzhen's mouth flew quickly, and she said respectfully: "Lord Examiner, I think this article can be fixed, and Lord Qian recommends it well." According to his room, this article belongs to the Shuntian Mansion, and it is also the main examiner, and the Lord Yin of the Mansion has meritorious education. ”

Yu Chenglong hesitated: "After this candidate's Five Classics questions and policy arguments are reviewed, it will not be too late to decide." ”

The deputy chief examiner Xu Youzhen, the same examiner Qian Xihong, etc., did not refute, which means that Jackie Chan finished reading the candidate's Spring and Autumn questions and strategies, but it was also decent, but the first one was really good.

A few days later, 60 percent of the people who failed to make the list were on the list, and the number of places in the Shuntianfu Township Examination was more than 600 by the emperor, almost one out of twenty.

All the examiners, almost without knowing the names of the candidates, decided the ranking on the list, and they had to sing in front of the hall on this day.

Sixteen examiners gathered together.

The township test dragon and tiger list is divided into the main list and the deputy list, write the main list first, write the top six on the main list, and start from the sixth place.

Several scribes were under the main seat, squatting behind the case, a scribe compared the ink scroll with a red scroll, unwrapped the paste, and a scribe wrote a list, and after reading the sixth place, the scribe read: "The fifth place is the Spring and Autumn Jingkui, Wanping County, Shuntian Prefecture, Wang Yinglin!" ”

"Today, Keshun Tianfu is full of talents, and two of the top five are recommended by rich adults."

"Congratulations! Congratulations! ”

The house officials and scribes brought red candles to Qian Xihong's table one after another, and Qian Xihong smiled from ear to ear.

Yu Chenglong and Xu Youzhen also smiled at the loud lobby, this is a regulatory practice, there must be five classics in the township test, and the room official who selected the Jingkui not only has face, but also the seat teacher of the Jing Kui, and after that, Qian Xihong became Wang Yinglin's seat teacher.

The scribe read the first place: "Xie Yuan, Liangxiang County, Shuntian Prefecture, Wei Wuzhi!" ”

Then the drummers and emcees were crowded, and they went to the Yamen of Shuntianfu to make a list.

At this time, Yu Chenglong frowned and asked, "That Dashun No. 1 prodigy Jia Cong, why is he not on the list?" ”

Qian Xihong smiled and rolled his eyes: "My lord, Jia Cong's Zhu Juan was also approved by his humble position, and he committed the taboo of Buddhism and improper use of words. ”

"Well......" Because Qian Xihong won the top five in a row, it can be said that he knows the hero, Yu Chenglong didn't want to look at the scroll anymore, and said: "It's good to hone and hone, young people are too angular." ”

Xu Youzhen smiled and said nothing, if Wei Wuzhi will try to win again next year, he is the first benefactor that Wei Wuzhi should be grateful for, such an unspoken rule, how can Wei Wuzhi have no good intentions to repay.

……

Jia Congxiang went home after the test to report and ask for peace, the scene was too bland, Jia's mother was gone, and asked the mandarin duck to reply "I know" outside the door.

Jia Yu on the East Road was interested in Yan Shan, but he was told to wait for the release of the list, but it was the second uncle Jia Zheng, who seemed to be more concerned than Jia Yu, and asked An Shi to encourage a few words, and vaguely mentioned that this year's national official examination, anyone who has anything to do with Wang Ziteng is basically fine.

The people of Rongguo Mansion can't be said to be completely bad to the bones, Jia Cong's impression of reading the Red Mansion is that Jia Zheng is the only one among the male owners of Jiafu who has predicted the family crisis many times, but he is weak and ambitious. Miss Qianjin, grandmothers, Jia Yuanchun, Qin Keqing, Wang Xifeng, Jia Tanchun, etc., are all bright about the current situation of the family.

reported the banquet in the same year, Jia Yu had nothing to do, so Jia Cong took Sun Fu and Long Aotian to dismount outside the Xibian Gate, and entered the Muni Courtyard with Wang Yinglin and Kuang Liu.

The temple is relatively desolate, pilgrims are scarce, recall that on this street with Qin Zhong went to Wanping, Gu'an, but also here for the first time to meet Kuang Liuhe, the two talked, it is the matter of these two years, but it is like a dream, the occasion of life meets fate, wonderful as Si.

The remnants of the pillars in the three-bay room supported the main hall, Jia Cong only walked into the outer door, and the three of them suddenly saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman in paddy field clothes under the red plum tree by the wall, holding a hoe and digging a pit, burying four or five grimaceous blue porcelain altars, the woman's posture was graceful, and her side face was snowy. Being in a Buddhist temple and wearing a paddy field coat with Taoist charm is already very weird.

Jia Cong looked back and found that Wang Yinglin and Kuang Liuhe were stunned.
