Yang Cong has already set the goal of taking the top prize, so should he immediately brag with his grandfather, ask for a reward, and then rush to take the imperial examination?

This is the performance of a daredevil, of course he will not be so reckless, it is nothing to brag with others, he does not dare to talk nonsense in front of his grandfather Yang Rong.

He had already seen that his grandfather was quite an old and respectful person, and this kind of person did not like to be bagged and bragging in front of him.

If he ran to his grandfather and said, "I want to take the exam," then his grandfather would probably think that this grandson had a brain disease!

If others think that he has a brain disease, then it will be fine, if his grandfather thinks that he has a brain disease, it will be a big trouble, the Yang family is not only his descendant, will his grandfather hand over the huge family business to a person with an abnormal brain?

Therefore, he can't be impulsive, at least he can't behave like a stunned person with a missing head in front of his grandfather.

He went to find his grandfather, but he didn't mention the imperial examination.

He said very high-sounding that he had not gone to the county school for many days to listen to the lectures, and he was afraid of delaying his studies, so he wanted to rush back immediately to prepare and continue his studies at the county school early tomorrow morning.

Yang Rong was naturally pleased that his grandson could be so sensible, and he not only readily agreed, but also rewarded Yang Cong with 1,000 taels of silver.

He knew that Yang Cong's trip to Fucheng only cost about five hundred taels of silver, but the effect was surprisingly good, not only after getting acquainted with Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng and other generals, but also climbing the high branch of the government to judge Xu Jie, such an achievement, naturally had to be rewarded, so he rewarded Yang Cong with an additional five hundred taels of silver.

As for the Zhang family's side, Zhang Shen's birthday banquet has actually been completed by this point, and it doesn't matter if Yang Cong stays here or not, but Yang Rong will stay here for two days and deal with the aftermath before going back.

Yang Cong took Yu Dayou and others back to Hui'an, and in order to understand the situation of the imperial examination as soon as possible, he specially asked Yu Dayou to get into the carriage with him and chatted all the way.

This chat really surprised him.

This imperial examination is really not easy, just a student, that is, the fame of Xiucai, has to go through four exams.

This show is not so easy to test, first you must pass the county examination and the government test to obtain the title of child, and then you can participate in the hospital examination presided over by the emperor's admiral Xuezheng, and the main and second examinations of the college examination can be obtained in order to obtain the fame of Xiucai.

This guy, Xu Jie's words are too relaxed, it seems that taking the test Xiucai is like drinking porridge, pit, what is drinking porridge, this is a full four-course meal!

However, fortunately, the topic is not very difficult, judging from Yu Dayou's description, the exam question is an eight-strand essay and a so-called trial post poem, and the requirements for the eight-strand essay in the student exam are not high, as for the trial post poem, you can even think about various types of exams in advance, as long as it is not plagiarism, the general level of poems can be passable.

This show exam is a bit complicated, but no matter how complicated it is, he has to be a man who aspires to be the champion, how can he be frightened by a show exam.

After returning to Hui'an, he began to prepare for the examination of Xiucai.

The first thing to do is to sign up.

This imperial examination is not child's play, it is not that you stand on the street and shout, "I want to take the imperial examination", and then you can go to the examination, if you want to participate in the imperial examination, you must be serious and go to the county government to register.

So, what kind of official is this county yajiao?

Speaking of which, this old man is still a serious eight-grade official, but he can also manage the students and children, and has no other power, in Yang Cong's eyes, his power is not even as good as the county officials.

Of course, this is just Yang Cong's personal opinion, in the eyes of others, this edict is a great official, because "everything is inferior, only reading is high"!

No matter how awesome the officials in charge of the scholars are, who else is awesome, the entire Hui'an, except for the county magistrate, is the most awesome in the number of teaching adults.

Yang Cong didn't care how awesome this old Mr. Yan was, returned to the Yang Mansion, rested for a while, and then took Yu Dayou to the county school to find Mr. Yan.

The reason why he was so anxious to find Mr. Yan was not only for the imperial examination, but also for one important thing, that is, his personal safety.

This Chen Wenjie didn't know if he would find pirates or even pirates to retaliate against him, he couldn't take it lightly.

After Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan moved in, the Yang Mansion or the compound where he lived was relatively safe, but there was no safety guarantee during the time he went to the county school, who knows if Chen Wenjie would let people do it halfway, or even rush directly into the county school to kill people, this guy is a lawless lord.

Regarding the safety of going to the county school, he also discussed with Yu Dayou on the way, that is, let Yu Dayou accompany him to the county school.

This Yu Dayou is a serious student, and he has achieved fame for showing his talent more than ten years ago, so he is naturally qualified to go to the county school.

However, he is a student of Quanzhou Fucheng, and if he wants to come to Hui'an to go to school, he has to be accommodating with the county teacher.

It just so happened that Mr. Yan was also going to find Mr. Yan for the imperial examination, so Yang Cong simply brought Yu Dayou with him, and the two things were done together.

At this time, it was close to the time of the unitary hour, and it was almost time for the county school to end school, Yang Cong and Yu Dayou stood outside the gate of the school and waited for a while, and a group of students rushed out from inside.

The first to come out were those poor talents, although they saw Yang Cong, they didn't see it.

There's no way, hate the rich, this poor talent and the children of the rich family are like natural enemies, water and fire are incompatible, and it is already polite for people to ignore him, if it weren't for Yang Cong's family, they would be able to choke out words like "good dogs don't get in the way".

As soon as they saw Yang Cong, they were very enthusiastic, but as soon as they heard that Yang Cong was here to find Mr. Yan, they immediately slipped away, joking, that old guy, old and fierce, who has nothing to do with him.

After the students also left, Yang Cong walked into the school quickly, and said to Mr. Yan, who was about to get up, "Sir, the students are back." ”

Mr. Yan was startled by the sudden sound behind him, and he subconsciously picked up the bamboo ruler on the table and glared back.

fainted to death, it turned out to be Yang Cong, this student is not easy to fight, the so-called "soft hands of people, short mouths of eating people", he charged Yang Cong a hundred taels of silver consulting fees, if he beats people again, it will not be authentic.

He secretly put down the bamboo ruler and said helplessly: "Come back when you come back, come back, what are you doing sneakily behind the old man, I was almost scared by you." ”

Seeing this, Yang Cong hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sir, the student hasn't seen Mr. for a long time, I'm too excited, rude, rude." ”

Mr. Yan shook his head and said helplessly: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

He knew that Yang Cong would not come to him if he was fine, especially when he was out of school at this time, there must be something wrong with Yang Cong running over.

Yang Cong was not in a hurry, he still slowly arched his hand and said: "The student wants to invite Mr. to have a light meal together, I don't know if Mr. can appreciate his face." ”

Have a light meal, okay!

When Mr. Yan heard this, he couldn't help but show an excited look in his eyes, it wasn't that he was rare with this wine and food, but the main thing was that Yang Cong, a student, liked to give people money when he invited people to dinner.

He got up and said happily: "It's okay, the old man just wants to talk to you, let's go." ”
