Later generations have different opinions about this question, but there is no conclusive evidence from beginning to end to prove that Tang and Xu really learned about the exam questions in advance.

This can basically be judged from the reaction of the two after they left the examination room.

Historically, it is said that Tang Bohu and Xu Jing were not admitted to the examination at all, so the two exam papers about the "Four Sons' Attainments" were not the two of them, and Cheng Minzheng's feelings were just speculation at most.

But who dares to guarantee that this is not an illusion made by Li Dongyang, who is in charge of reviewing the test papers, in order to calm things down?

Shen Xi suddenly asked Tang Yin and Xu Jing, and Su Tong was a little surprised.

Before Cheng Minzheng's emotion, the crowd had not completely vented their anger to Tang and Xu, even if someone said that it was a question, it was only aimed at Cheng Minzheng.

From this point of view, Tang Bohu took the question to ask others before the exam, which is also the result of the fact that everyone has followed the situation after the question case.

Even if Tang and Xu really asked people with questions before the exam, the question would definitely not be the exam question of this exam, and before the end of the exam until Cheng Minzheng sighed when he read the papers, there was not much criticism of the two outside.

"Let's call him Tang Yin and Xu Jing, Brother Shen, let me ask you, have you answered all the exam questions for this session? Is there any difficult question that can't be answered? ”

Su Tong's expression was a little sad, it was obvious that he felt that he had not performed well in this examination, and there was still a certain gap between him and Zhongjinshi.

Shen Xi said: "It's okay. ”

One sentence made Su Tong feel incredible, he stared at Shen Xi with wide eyes for a while, and then sighed sincerely: "Brother Shen's knowledge is really extraordinary, from yesterday to today, I have asked no less than twenty candidates in the same field. No one dared to say that they played well. It seems that Brother Shen is indeed talented, and he will be in the future ......"

Shen Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Brother Su, I can't wear this big hat." ”

It didn't take too long for Shen Xi and Su Tong to meet. Because there will be a period of waiting, the release of the list will be in early March. The temple examination is in mid-March.

Candidates will generally wait until the examination results are released and leave the capital, for Su Tong, who is not outstanding in his own talent, he should be ready to return to his hometown after the examination, as for whether to return to his hometown directly to continue to study hard, or to return home after touring the mountains and rivers, or waiting for the imperial court to let go of officials, it is up to the people themselves.

Obviously, Su Tong felt that he was still young. He is still ready to take at least three or four sessions of the examination, and will not give up the imperial examination until he is about forty years old, and accept the appointment of the imperial court as a small official.

When Su Tong met with Shen Xi, from time to time, a man came over to ask about the exam, and Shen Xi always dealt with it with "but Erer", others just thought that he was young and vigorous, and he spoke wildly, and they would not have thought that he would be able to answer such a rare question as "Four Sons' Attainments".

The greetings are over. Su Tong took Shen Xi to meet some of them again, and judging from their reactions, the situation was the same. sigh, it's a pity, and then it's the resentment of Cheng Minzheng, the author of the question.

“…… This kind of question, even if it is left to Hanlin to do, it may not be able to do it, but let me wait for the child to answer, isn't it difficult for a strong man? ”

In the eyes of these people, they only belong to the bottom of the noble class, and have not yet had the opportunity to come into contact with too many books on advanced learning. If you can make it to the Hanlin Academy, read a few more books. Or you can know those obscure knowledge.

After the exam, the exam questions about the attainments of the four sons. It has been spread so much that even if many people know the title and ask him to find it himself, he can't find out where the title comes from.

Some people say that it is from "Retreat", but this book, the huge capital can't change a few copies, if you want to read such a rare classic, at least the family collection of books should be more than 10,000, which is simply not practical for ordinary families.

Shen Xi has seen the most on this day is Fujian Juzi, after all, everyone is a fellow villager, and people need to be twisted into a rope in the field. Filled with righteous indignation, the people were ready to write to the court to "ask for an explanation".

Shen Xi felt that as soon as the exam was over, the exam-takers in the capital were about to go crazy, or the impeachment of Cheng Minzheng was not because the imperial court really wanted to investigate him for leaking the topic, but to give an explanation to the world's scholars, as a punishment for Cheng Minzheng's deviation and strange questions.

It's a pity that Cheng Minzheng didn't know at this time, with the end of the exam, the next step was to try to transcribe and mark the papers, and the waves also started.

When Shen Xi noticed that public opinion was not aimed at him, he was a little relieved, after all, he didn't visit Cheng Minzheng, and he didn't have any contact with Cheng Minzheng, but this doesn't mean that others won't attack him because of this.

As long as the people who have a relationship with Tang Bohu and Xu Jing are in danger after the incident of the problem.

……

……

Shen Xi didn't go home in the afternoon, and when he arrived at the Dongsheng Inn, he waited for more than an hour before Yu Niang was late.

According to the previous agreement, Shen Xi should meet with Yu Niang when he left the Tribute Courtyard, but Shen Xi slept all day, completely leaving the appointment with Yu Niang behind.

“…… I don't know how Shen Gongzi will try to play this time? After meeting and saluting each other, Yu Niang asked the question she was most concerned about.

Shen Xi said: "I was lifted at the age of thirteen, doesn't Yu Niang think that this is not enough to obstruct the eyes?" ”

Yu Niang smiled lightly: "If Shen Gongzi can become an official as soon as possible, it will be a blessing for the people of the world, if Shen Gongzi can study hard for a long time, or ......"

Or what, Yu Niang didn't say it, it didn't seem that she should sigh as she did. Obviously, even if Yu Niang has a background, it has nothing to do with her about whether Shen Xi is an official or not, unless Yu Niang's words themselves are quoted from others.

Some talented people, if they don't meet talents, may be depressed and don't ask about the world, but some people are indignant because of this, and then become heroes and enemies of the court.

Most of the heroes who launched rebellions in history were scholars who did not go well in the field, because the ordinary people did not have the kind of insight and strategy that could command the heroes, and the imperial court set up the imperial examination system, in fact, to appease the scholars, so that the scholars could find an opportunity to gain fame and fortune, so as not to go sideways.

The more the channels of social ascent are blocked, the more intense the restless mood of the middle and lower class scholars, which is often detrimental to the rulers of the dynasty.

Shen Xi probably understood a little, or it was the strategy and calmness he showed when he booby-trapped Song Xi'er. Let anyone think that he is a "dangerous person", if he can be used by the imperial court, it is good, if he will not be on the list in the future. It is difficult to guarantee that it will not pose a threat to the safety of the imperial court.

Shen Xi pondered: "The person who said this, could it be Liu Daxia?" Immediately said: "It's just a proper reader." Single-mindedly seeking the imperial examination. Yu Niang, let's talk more about transporting grain, these days have been prepared, the ships are fully manned, so the imperial court approval is ...... Is there a fall? ”

Yu Niang said with a smile: "The slave family is here for this matter today, with Liu Shilang's coordination, the spring grain from the household department to Nanzhili and Lingnan this year will be handed over to the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce to be responsible for transportation." The official document has been sent to the local government, and the local government will assist you. ”

Shen Xi nodded, and the imperial court sent an official document to the local government, saying that it was fake to let the local government assist, but in fact, he wanted to tell those people behind him who were stealing and selling official food, telling them that there was such a shortcut as the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Yu Niang said again, "Since Shen Gongzi's identity has been revealed, someone may have secretly contacted Shen Gongzi in the past few days, and Lord Liu appointed the slave family to follow Shen Gongzi and appear as a staff member." ”

Shen Xi looked at Yu Niang's men's outfit. It's not like a servant, but like a gentleman with a good demeanor. Shen Xi was slightly embarrassed: "Yu Niang Mo is not ready to ...... with me?" In and out together? ”

Yu Niang smiled: "That's right. ”

Shen Xi couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face.

To say that a beautiful woman follows you in and out with you is also an elegant thing. But Yu Niang is already a half-old after all, even if the charm still exists?

This Jiang is inevitably a little older, but because of the existence of Yu Niang, his daily life is affected, and together with several female relatives in the family, life will not be too easy...... At least, Shen Xi can't "do good things" with Lin Dai for the time being, could it be that when he and Lin Dai are together, let Yu Niang guard outside?

Yu Niang seemed to notice that Shen Xi was a little inconvenient, and said: "Shen Gongzi lives with the female relatives of the family on weekdays. Or if there is an inconvenience, it is better to move to Dongsheng Inn. In this way, it will be convenient to take care of it, if the thief will find it. It will not be enough to find a vacancy and then arouse their suspicions. ”

If the people who resell the grain in the warehouse want to come to contact Shen Xi, they will inevitably go to the Dongsheng Inn, and Shen Xi doesn't want those people to find his nest. Yu Niang said, "The slave family has not asked Shen Gongzi first, and has sent Yunliu and Xi'er to the house first, bringing clothes and luggage, and Shen Gongzi has stayed here for the past few days...... The inside and outside of the inn have changed hands to ensure the safety of Shen Gongzi. ”

Suddenly, Shen Xi felt like he was under house arrest.

If Jiang Liwei cooperates with him, he still has a slightly negotiating tone, and now he is doing things for Liu Daxia, there is no room for turnaround.

Yu Niang also knows this, she is nominally protecting, but in fact she is supervising Shen Xi, afraid that he will leak the news, and at the same time, she is also worried that Shen Xi will make an assertion and have any bad dealings with the thieves who steal and sell the grain in the warehouse.

Shen Xi spread his hands: "It seems that there is no reason to refuse...... Everything is according to the meaning of the jade lady. ”

Coming out of the cage-like Gongyuan house, Shen Xi entered another prison. But it doesn't matter to him, except that he can't see Lin Dai every day, there is no difference in anything else, living alone in the inn, it is easy to calm down, or you can think about the problem, or you can think about the future.

Shen Xi himself was not too sure, saying that he would definitely be able to pass the Jinshi in this examination, and then maybe he would have to enter Taixue to study. Maybe you have to wait until you graduate from Taixue and take the exam many times before you can make a difference in the title of the gold list.

Yu Niang did not allow Shen Xi to go home and pack his things.

According to Yu Niang's meaning, Shen Xi's daily life will be in charge of Yunliu and Xi'er, because Xi'er will have some martial arts, he will serve as his personal guard, and he will sleep together at night, Yu Niang lives in the next room, and Yu Niang also has a pseudonym, called "Sun Ru", but he went to Beijing to catch the exam.

After Shen Xi inquired in detail, he learned that "Sun Ru" was indeed a person, and he was really a person who went to Beijing to take the exam, but he was very unlucky and died of illness on the way to the capital.

This matter is not known to the outside world, this person's physical characteristics are similar to Yu Niang's men's dress, even if the person who stole and sold the grain went to track down, he would not suspect Yu Niang's identity.
