"Young Master! Twelve brothers! Seeing Chen Jialuo come in, Xin Yan hurriedly waved back and stepped forward to salute, "There are too many people who have come to visit me during this time, so I haven't come out to greet me, and I hope the young master will forgive me." ”

"You're doing the right thing!" , Chen Jialuo walked to the middle of the courtyard and sat down, Shi Shuangying walked around the courtyard and didn't find anything unusual before sitting next to Chen Jialuo, Chen Jialuo quipped, "By the way, I haven't congratulated you on winning the township test!" You're a man now! ”

Xinyan smiled embarrassedly, "Young master, don't make fun of me, you were lifted at the age of fifteen, compared to you, I am far behind, and I am in Gansu, where the literary style is not flourishing, if I take the exam in Zhejiang like you, I can't pass the test with this bit of knowledge." ”

"Okay, don't be modest, it's December now, let's leave for the capital early! The meeting has always started on the eighth day of the second month, and I went to Beijing to visit a few adults early, and I could be a little more sure when the time came. Chen Jialuo said.

Xin Yan's face was embarrassed, "Young master, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the test at my level." ”

"Well, it's really difficult to get a junior at your current level." In the Qing Dynasty, the number of admissions was not large, and only 399 people were hired in the 12th year of Shunzhi, which had the largest number of admissions, and only 81 people were admitted in the 58th year of Qianlong, which had the smallest number of admissions; The average number of students admitted to each entrance examination is only two or three hundred, and the number of people who participate in the examination is as large as seven or eight thousand, and as few as three or five thousand, and the admission ratio is almost twenty to one, and the admission quota is mostly occupied by the south, which is at the peak of literary style; Although Xinyan has been studying with Chen Jialuo since he was a child, he has only been preparing for the exam for more than a year, and it is basically impossible to get a Jinshi, but Chen Jialuo has been prepared for this, "You don't have to worry about this, I have already prepared, and I dare not say that the first and second grades will not dare to say that it is still quite promising to take the third class and the same Jinshi." ”

At present, if you want to be an official, you must not be in the four subjects and then go to the Ministry of Officials to sign up, and the Ministry of Officials will be selected according to their appearance, the first class is used to know the county, and the second class is used for teaching. It is held once every six years, and is intended to give scholars from a higher background a wider way out. This will take at least nine years of hard work, and Xinyan will not be thirty years after nine years, and it is too eye-catching to participate in the big challenge at this age, so we must seize this year's opportunity to be admitted to the Jinshi.

"So follow the young master's orders!" , Xin Yan responded, he was not surprised that Chen Jialuo could handle the imperial examination, and in this year, Chen Jialuo had already planted the impression in his heart that he would do what he said.

"Well, how long will it take for you to take care of the local affairs and leave for the capital?" Chen Jialuo asked, "I will prepare some questions for you to practice along the way, so don't go on the same road with other lifters!" ”

"There were not many people in Anxi City, everyone else went to the capital first, and I was the only one left before I left; However, before leaving, he always has to visit the local officials and eunuchs, plus he practices and so on, and he can set off in three days! Xin Yan explained carefully.

"Well, there are quite a few people in Anxi City who know you, so I won't meet you in the city." , Chen Jialuo nodded, "Brother Twelve will stay today and act as your escort, and when the time comes, you and Brother Twelve will set off together, and I will wait for you on the road ahead." When the time comes, when others ask, they will say that I am your Xixi; By the way, I also brought someone to be your butler, and along the way, you don't need to call the young master and the young master, we call you the young master, and you can call me teacher! ”

"Yes, young master!" , Xin Yan responded, and then Xin Yan took out the papers of his township test and showed them to Chen Jialuo, Chen Jialuo commented carefully, and Xin Yan couldn't help nodding his head. When dinner was approaching, the servants of the family came to report that it was time for Master XX to invite the master to go to the banquet.

"Go ahead, get in touch with them now, learn how to deal with the eunuchs, and when you come to the local area, you won't be overwhelmed." , Chen Jialuo said a few more words, left Shi Shuangying in the Xinyan mansion, and returned to the inn alone.

Walking outside Mingrui's room, Chen Jialuo looked through the window, Mingrui sat on the chair with a pale face and a sluggish expression, his body trembling, and it seemed that he had not woken up from the shock. Seeing that he didn't run Chen Jialuo, he knew that he had already believed seven or eight points, and he was not in a hurry to go in at the moment, so it would be good to give him more time to digest. When I went back to my room, I called Xiao Er, "If you have any good wine and food, send me any good wine and food, oh, by the way, send one to the master next door, the master has been in a bad mood recently at home, you can just wait for the food to be sent in, you don't have to talk to him,"

Xiao Er took the order and left, and after a while, he sent wine and food, Chen Jialuo Meimei ate a meal, sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate and carry the true qi, and after the twelve weeks were transported, he suddenly felt that his internal strength had gone up a new level; This trip to Beijing is passing through Shaanxi, do you want to go to the tomb of the living dead behind Zhongnan Mountain to see if you can find the "Nine Yin True Scripture"? Think about it, forget it, first, my martial arts are enough at present, and my main purpose is to rebel, and it is not cost-effective to spend a lot of time on martial arts; Second, even if there is "Nine Yin True Scripture", it may not be able to practice the level of Guo Jing and Huang Shang, the martial arts in Jin Yong's novels seem to be slowly regressing from ancient times to the present, to say that other sects are broken inheritance, then the martial arts classics of Wudang and Shaolin are still there, and I haven't seen how powerful Lu Feiqing and Zhou Zhongying are, Lu Feiqing is the junior brother of the head of Wudang, one of the best masters in the door, if it is put in the world of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", I am afraid that even Song Qingshu is not as good, so it seems that the rules of this world limit the limit of martial arts.

After pondering and understanding, Chen Jialuo fell asleep with his clothes, and the next morning, after washing up, he pushed open Mingrui's door, only to see that the food on the table did not move at all, and the wine jug was poured on the table, Mingrui was lying on the table snoring, and his mouth seemed to be muttering something, Chen Jialuo listened carefully, and for a while it was, "My Majesty, I really don't know anything!" After a while, it was "The emperor spares his life!" ”。

"Eh, I said big nephew! It's time to get up! Chen Jialuo walked over and patted him on the shoulder, it's not good to be scared silly after having a nightmare.

Mingrui was slapped by him, sat up and stepped back, but was tripped over the bench, and when he saw clearly that it was Chen Jialuo, he howled and cried, "Why are you telling me this!" You'd better let me die! ”

"If you want to die, you can die, and I won't stop you." , Chen Jialuo closed the door, "After you die, I will help you make a testament, and then your whole family can be reunited!" ”
