The morning breeze blows the three gates of the five wings, on the eighth day of the first month of March, around the Qingming Festival, at the beginning of the morning, the morning rooster crows, and the lanterns of the examiners are not as bright as the torches of the officers and soldiers who guard them.

Open the astronomical movement, seek talents for the country, learn from the Ming scriptures, and the three towering gates are familiar to Jia Cong and other Zhili people, and the township test is here, and the same is true for the test. The difference is that the people who rush to take the exam come from all over the country, among which Jiangxi, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang have the largest number of people, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ning seem pitiful, and the number of people in Jin, Shandong, Henan, Huguang, Fujian, and Guangdong is in the middle.

The examination is a national examination, the number of examiners, the name of the newspaper has been copied before, Ming issued the world, the chief examiner is the first assistant of the cabinet, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu Yang Qinghe. Deputy Chief Examination Department Right Attendant, Shuncheon Mansion Yin Dong Anguo, Dong Anguo concurrently serves as a supervisor. There are eighteen house officials, all of whom were born in the Hanlin Academy, including Jiang Huajiao, who has just recovered, Jiang Huajiao was promoted as the head of the three families of Jiangzuo and the leader of the Jiangzuo League. In addition, the Hanlin Academy's Ji Shi Wei Wuzhi, the compilation of Jia Siwen, the revision of the Piting Sect and so on.

For people from other provinces, this is the first time they have accepted the emperor's personal proposition, and the provincial township test is a political proposition, and Jia Cong has two Zhili township tests and one meeting test, all of which are the emperor's propositions.

"This is the abundance of talents, the whole country's spring war. Dong Fuyin is a native of Zhejiang, and there are many members of the Zhejiang Orchid Society present. Yang Ge is a native of Suzhou, Jiang Huajiao is a native of Yangzhou, and Pi Tingjiao is a native of Songjiang...... Look, the entire examination room is almost contracted by Jiangnan, not only you, Gong Dingci, Dai Fengxiang...... and us, both dangerous, it is said that the northerners and southerners have the same level of time, there is a big difference......"

Zhang Maocai stuck out his tongue, looking unconfident, he and Kuang Liuhe also passed the township test, and Wang Yinglin participated in the Spring Festival for the second time.

Several people discussed for a while, the scene began to be very chaotic, Dong Anguo roared loudly, the officers and soldiers held torches and separated the team, and then gradually quieted down, Wang Yinglin said: "Gentlemen, Jackie Chan and Phoenix, just look at today, time is not waiting, the Dragon Gate is ahead, leap over, we are dragons, don't waste the years." ”

Kuang Liuhe cheered up and said: "Zhang Qingsong, don't grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige." According to you, what hope do the northerners have? The tributes of the world are simply taken from Jiangnan. The imperial court takes scholars, each province has a quota, no matter how powerful Jiangnan is, there is also a quota limit, rest assured, the test is rated according to the name of the province, and the direct subordinate ranks second, what are you afraid of? ”

"I'll see you in three days, all of you." Jia Cong's gaze looked firmly at the dragon gate.

The team has been advancing, chanting, searching, and entering the door, Dai Fengxiang clenched his fists: "The top three, there must be me!" ”

Gong Ding said compassionately: "Colleagues of Yanshe, today is our road to rise!" ”

Among them, the lightest pressure is the other two of Jiang Zuosan's family, who can be called so by Jiangnan people, and their own strength represents the top in Southern Province, not to mention that many examiners are from Jiangnan? One of these two people is Songjiang genius Pi Shixuan, and the other is Tongcheng Juren Fang has no regrets. Rugao Jiang family, Tongcheng Fang family, and Songjiang family are all generations of Hanlin families, scholarly families.

……

The second entered the west side of the building, and Jia Cong saw the three propositions in the first field.

Question 1: The benevolent must have courage, and the brave do not have to be benevolent.

Question 2: Who will heal the woman and the Hui?

Question 3: If the five-acre house is covered with mulberry under the tree wall, and the woman hides it, the old man is enough to wear clothes. Five hens, two hens, no loss of time, the old man is enough to lose meat. A hundred acres of land can be cultivated by a husband, and a family of eight is enough to be starving...... If you are not full or warm, it is called freezing and frustration.

Spreading out the paper, Jia Cong pondered for a while and wrote:

"Decide to be brave with benevolence, and know that the saint is not brave."

"Gai Ren without courage cannot be called benevolence; Brave and unkind. This is often the case. Those who contemplate benevolence can think about it, and those who practice it on their own should know what to do. ”

“…… The body of the benevolent is also, the brave use also, the body can be hidden, and the body can not be hidden, so although it is good with Bingyi, and fortitude can only be close to benevolence; The benevolent are all also, the brave are partial, all can be partial, and the partial can not be all, so although the name of the common virtue, the body will be respected as the Yuan good. ”

"Those who contemplate benevolence can think, and those who practice on their own can know what they are doing."

On the ninth day of the first month of March, figuring out the second topic, Jia Cong's mind appeared the explanation of the "Annotations to the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences": Hu Shi said, Zigong Fangren, the master was not only overwhelmed, but also asked him how he healed from Hui, so as to see how he knew himself. Hearing one knows ten, the capital of knowledge, and the sub-knowledge of life. Hearing one and knowing two, the qualifications above the Chinese people, and learning and knowing......

Sitting on the precarious, Jia Cong picked up the pen and wrote:

"Ask the sage more and more, and want him to introspect himself."

"Master Gong and Yan Yuan, if the result is more and more, doesn't the master know it? Is it to ask the son of tribute, do you want him to introspect? ”

"If you say: Women are usually good at people, and I try to be virtuous. The husband is still in the other person's meaning, but the one who is in oneself has no idea of measurement. Those who are clear in observing others will not be ignorant of confidants, and they will be willing to raise one person to hold each other hostage. ”

“…… Will it be said to be more than a woman? And the woman has always asked and asked, and she is also higher than in the same class. Will the woman be more than the return? Since March, it has been known to our party for a long time. ”

"Will it be said that the woman will not heal, and the woman will not heal? This can be said to be a teacher and businessman who is still in the middle of it, and the return of women is not an example; Will it be said that sometimes it is more female, and sometimes it is more female? This can be discussed as the reason for retreat and concurrent, and the woman and the return are not the ......."

"I can't forget my love for women, and I can't forget my love for women and Huiye. Who will heal the woman and the return? ”

……

In the Shanhai Bookstore in the front and back yards, Luo Gaocai sighed bitterly: "If it goes on like this, it will have to be closed, where is it easy to feed the people in the Prince's Mansion?" ”

"Let's wait until next month, Gongzi is participating in the Spring Festival, and he has a lot of personal connections, isn't Lord Fu Yin the examiner now? The officials in the capital may not be afraid of the prince. Zheng Yeyu also supported himself and asked, "Are all the people who go to Lingnan dead?" Didn't hear back? ”

"A few years ago, they met Gongzi in Suzhou, and this son is contacting Yangzhou, fortunately, the store over there has become bigger, and we won't lose money when we go back to the south."

Zheng Yexiao touched his chin and whispered: "Lao Luo, let me tell you something, the son came to inspect a few days ago, did you find anything abnormal?" ”

"What's out of the ordinary? I can't see it......"

"Isn't he like that, his face is full of spring breeze, and he walks a little floating? It's not too young, it must be a family ...... Hey, hey, hey......"

"Hey......

……

At the end of the road, two beauties suddenly turned out, Lin Daiyu, who was like a weak willow supporting the wind, and Xue Baochai, who had ice muscles and jade bones, and went forward to Jia Cong's small courtyard, and heard Jia Yingchun talking in the window of the wing, and the other two were Qingwen and Xiangling.

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and asked Baochai to eavesdrop, Xue Baochai shook her head and didn't want to be the ear of the wall, Daiyu had to go in with her, Qingwen served tea, chattered for a while, Jia Yingchun looked at Xiangling and said: "I just said, Qingwen is skillful, Xiangling is well-behaved, the same big beauty, if I am a man, I am jealous of Brother Cong." ”

Xiangling saw Baochai, after saluting, and Bao girl could still chat, Jia Yingchun looked at Xue Baochai, thoughtful, Lin Daiyu smiled: "Blessed, blessed, from now on, you are all my brothers and sisters." ”

Qingwen Xiangling came to make trouble with Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai sat upright, and said to Yingchun: "According to your family's etiquette, two rooms should be enough, if Brother Cong is on the list, there are only three people at most, but it may not be comparable to Xiangling, you are a sister, should you thank my brother?" ”

"Thank you, thank you." Jia Yingchun snorted: "If you come over to be my brother and sister, then you should thank you even more." ”

Xue Baochai's face flushed, and she reached out to take out Yingchun's waist, and the other three laughed more and more happily, Lin Daiyu nodded: "It's rare to see Sister Bao eat deflated once, yes, yes." ”
