[All the statutory holidays in 2017 have finally ended, and today is the second watch, continue to ask for votes]

How is it not the same as the rumors?

‘…… Only the virtuous can obey the heavens, and what covers the heavens is not different because of Yidi? ……’

Master Zhang looked at Wang Xingping's pen flying, but the main purpose of the article was clearly to stand on the standpoint of the mean, how could it be completely different from his previous style?

This Young Master Wang, his father was killed by Yi Di, and since last year, which of the four or five incidents that have been caused in a row have not been looking for trouble with Yi Di? How did you get here like a change of personality?

Zhang Dahua's temples are white, and a pair of emu on his cyan official uniform have faded a little, as if they are setting off his official fortune. I thought that this time I could show favor to Fuchen through the county exam, so that I could find another opportunity to go further, even if I was taken care of by Shangguan in the performance appraisal and then looked for another term in the mainland county, I thought that Wang Xingping was a radical, but now he couldn't even see through the thoughts of a Confucian student, which undoubtedly dealt a big blow to Master Zhang's self-confidence.

He didn't want to read the rest of the article anymore, so he quickly paced back to other places.

Wang Xingping didn't pay attention to all this, only knew that he had set his mind and put down the pen like a god, and wrote the two articles in less than an hour, but after checking it once, he found that the tone words were used more, and the latter article was copied again, and the two "cover" words in the text were ticked off and replaced with the word "husband", which is to follow Ma Wenqing's usual advice. Gai's such an ancient language can not exceed seven, more it seems hypocritical, in the examiner is to deduct points, although this time he only regarded the exam as a training, but these details and avoidance are the same to form a habit.

Wang Xing calmly spread the two transcribed scrolls on the table, looked at them again, and seemed to be not very satisfied with his Xiaokai, but writing is a water mill and he can't be in a hurry, so he can only practice slowly in the future. With a sigh, he wrote his name, removed the float on the scroll, and raised his hand to hand it over to the hall. Although he started writing quite late, Wang Xingping was the first three to hand in the papers, and the other two were all unlearned and unskilled people who were waiting to go out in the examination room.

Liu Jiaoyu in the county didn't know what the county was thinking, so he took Wang Xingping's scroll and said to Zhang Dahua: "He is a talented learner, breaks the rules of the question, and the writing is also precise, it is still early now, why don't you review it in person?" ”

Zhang Dahua took the paper and read it twice, took the red pen and pretended to circle the paper a few times, then stared at the examination room and stopped talking.

Liu Jiaoyu didn't know the root cause, and hurriedly reminded the county honor, "Does the master think this volume can be successful?" ”

In fact, Liu Jiaoyu is also from a tribute family, only eight years younger than Zhang Xianling, with his knowledge, Wang Xingping's ink scroll is decent to read the text, but the eight-strand system art should have all the things, and the problem is also pointed to the topic, no matter what, it is a must-hit volume, just see if Zhang Xianzun will point to his case. As long as there is no more outstanding paper among the candidates who put the first card, it is not a problem for Wang Xingping to be the first in the county examination, after all, there are not many Confucian students who can write such a level of writing in this Guiyang City, not to mention that the article adheres to the middle way, and the discussion can be said to be penetrating from shallow to deep, not like a Confucian boy who lives alone in the study, but more like an old official who has been running errands for many years.

Wang Xingping and Zhang Dahua tacitly understood this, and Zhang Dahua said to Liu: "There are still many candidates in the back, and I am afraid that we will have to see if this paper can win the first place." ”

Liu Jiaoyu naturally knew Wang Xingping's identity, and also knew that he knew that the government and the Tao were important, and he thought that the county would not sell this face, but Zhang Dahua was reserved, and he complimented the master with a few scribes, and he didn't say anything more.

After noon, a few more candidates handed in the papers, at this time there was still a short time before the first card, they were all sent to the Shenming Pavilion in the middle of the examination room to wait, some hungry simply took out the cakes they brought with them and ate them. Wang Xingping took a look around and made it clear, and sure enough, most of the Han candidates submitted the papers in advance, and then looked at the remaining candidates in the examination room below, some of them scratched their ears and cheeks, and some looked around, all of them were not very promising, which was really funny.

Among the people who submitted the papers in advance, several were Wang Xingping's classmates, and Qiu Maopu, who had been mentioned by his uncle Wang Mingde before, was also among them.

Wang Xingping naturally recognized it, and stepped forward to salute: "Senior Brother Ruomu must be in high school." ”

Qiu Maopu is young and vigorous, but he is convinced by Wang Xingping, he has heard a lot of his deeds, and he also replied, "Where can I get Tiancheng you, I think Tiancheng is the first few submissions, I'm afraid you are the first to be the head of the case this time." ”

Although the county examination, the prefectural examination and the hospital examination are not as famous as the township examination, if you can pass the first place, you will also have the honor of being the first in the case, and there will also be additional rewards.

Wang Xingping knew that it was just a compliment, so he asked about Qiu Maopu's article, especially the first one, 'Yi Di Zhi You'.

It turned out that this senior brother was still straight, but he really entered the set of the county master, and wrote a large article according to his original intention, and talked about the meaning of changing it to summer, presumably it was able to fulfill Zhang Dahua's intention. Wang Xing said calmly that this time I am afraid that the head of the case will belong to this Senior Brother Qiu, he does not feel that his article is written wrong, and the ink papers in the examination are all to be posted on the eight-character wall outside the county government to show the public. Although the point of view of 'far away must be punished' written on white paper and black letters, in addition to provoking right and wrong for himself, it can not help reputation and business, after all, pen and ink can't kill people after all, and Wang Xingping doesn't care to do it, and he will offend people again on the volume, and he will completely control the important trade route to the Northeast is more important or? That's the thing that can really break the foundation of barbarianism, but it's a pity that these people just don't understand, and they are entangled in the name, how can once the problem is solved, even the name can be ignored.

But then Qiu Maopu asked a topic that even Wang Xingping was surprised by, "Speaking of which, I was busy preparing for the exam a while ago, but I forgot one thing." ”

"Is it about me?" Wang Xingping was puzzled, although he and Qiu Maopu were somewhat acquainted, they couldn't talk about a deep friendship.

Qiu Maopu saw that Wang Xingping was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled, "It's not a big deal, it's just that my uncle heard that your family Tieye is making firearms for the army, and he is a little curious and wants to take a look." He paused and smiled, "...... He is also an old man who likes to do things. ”

This senior brother's thoughtful words made Wang Xingping not expect it, but it was the case.

"I see." It's good to say that some important processes in the firearms workshop naturally need to be kept secret, but the general forging and assembly can indeed be seen, and since Qiu Maopu said that it was his uncle, it can't be said that he has an investment intention, and the Qiu family is also a local family, and his business may not lack people to worry about in the future. There is no shortage of scholars and doctors who like to talk about military affairs, and this Uncle of Senior Brother Qiu must be a meritorious person, thinking of this, he asked quietly, "I haven't asked which uncle of Senior Brother I am." ”

Wang Xingping, the elder of the Qiu family who is still alive, knows several people, and each of them has different temperaments and identities.

"It's the second uncle under the second, the one who doubles Hejia." Qiu Mao Pu said.

It was him. ’

Wang Xingping thought about it as soon as he heard the name, this Qiu Hejia is Qiu Heshi's second brother, Wanli has been in the township for forty years, and now he is serving his mother in his hometown and has not elected an official, which is quite similar to Wang Mingde's situation. It's no wonder that he is interested in Wang Xingping's arsenal, with this person's temperament, he should be close to Zhang Heming, and he can ask when he goes back.

Thinking about it like this, Wang Xingping is also clear, even if he promised this favor, and invited Qiu Maopu to come with him at that time, anyway, after the government examination this year, it will be over, and there will be no hospital examination until next year, at that time Qiu Maopu will naturally have nothing to do, and since this Qiu Hejia also recruits private soldiers in the local area, he is also considered a powerful figure, and the new Tianwei is in the east of Guiyang, which is the only way to Pingyue Wei, the seat of Pingyue Mansion in the east, where it is not peaceful now, and this relationship may be helpful to the future trade route.

The two talked speculatively, and then talked about some academic things, and time gradually passed.

Liu Jiaoyu saw that the hour was almost up, and hurriedly sent the scribe to release Wang Xingping and others out of the examination room, and the helpers who were guarding outside the examination room came up to ask for money and good news.

Back home, Xiao's mother came over to care about her son's exam.

Wang Xingping had already changed into a plain robe at home, and said with a smile: "Mother is relieved, the topics can't be learned on weekdays, and most of them can be successful." ”

"If you can really go to high school, it will be my son's ancestors, and tomorrow I will go to the masters to give your father two more pillars of high incense."

Wang Xing said calmly that the Yuantong Temple next to Conch Bay is really doing a good job, but I went to the exam to make these monks profitable, but he still persuaded Xiao Shi, "Mother, don't be anxious, it's still very early to make a list." ”

Wang Xiaoliu also smiled on the side, "The county has tried and the government has taken the test, and my grandmother still needs to be at ease." ”

The queen mother also seemed to be enlightened, and said with a smile, "This year, there is only the government test, and it is still early to take the road test next year, and after the government test, my son will have to work hard at home, and the things on the counter will be handed over to Mr. Ye to do, and your fourth brother in the army will take care of it, and you don't have to go to that city often." ”

"The son can save it, the son can save it." Wang Xingping saw that his mother was endless, and he was busy answering with haha.

"By the way, Mr. Ni has come back, you can go to the back to ask later, Mr. is your sister's great benefactor."

Wang Xingping only then knew that Ni Zhumo had returned, this old gentleman had come to Guiyang a few days before he said goodbye to Yunyou, and there was no news, he then remembered that his mother had arranged for an old family member to follow, he had no place in Guiyang, since he came back, he naturally lived in his own home, presumably before the cards, otherwise he should have known one step earlier than his mother, and he happened to need Ni Zhumo's help.

As soon as Xiao Shi left, he hurriedly gave Xiao Liutwo taels of silver and instructed him to do something else, "You go to the bookstore at the west end of the big cross and ask if there is a set of books called "Book Edition", and if so, you can buy it back." ”
