"The first place in this year's county examination must be Brother Wu! A few of our brothers first substitute tea for wine, and wish Brother Wu success! ”

Several teenagers at the table next to him shouted, and the students in the tea shed looked over one after another, and a middle-aged student said, "It's Wu Dayuan." ”

"Changjiao's protégé, Wu Dayuan?"

"yes, that's him."

"I heard that this year's first place is going to be him."

"Really?"

"Groundless wind may not be without reason, you can see his complacent appearance and know that there is something greasy in this."

Wu Dayuansheng was burly, fifteen or sixteen years old, he laughed and said: "It's not too late to celebrate after the exam, you wait for such a celebration, if Zhang Xianzun points others to be the first when the time comes, where will I put this face." The words were beautiful, but it sounded like he was waiting for someone to continue to praise him, and he was very insincere.

One person at the same table said: "I heard that more than 70 students from Luming Academy came to participate in the county examination. That student named Shen Kang may not be able to help him. ”

Hearing this, Shen Kang and the three of them looked at each other, they actually knew Shen Kang?

Wu Dayuan patted the table unhappily and said, "I've checked!" That Shen Kang is just a ten-year-old child from the countryside, who writes very tattered things and even gets the blue eyes of Lord Zhang, an opportunistic villain, he must have no ink, why care about him! ”

Shen Kang and the others are studying in the academy, and they can be said to be blank about the situation of the county school, but they know Shen Kang very well.

Shen Kang smiled and raised his hand to get the teacup noncommittally.

Jiang Liushu was so angry that his face turned red, he snorted lightly, and said: "Do you have to pass the exam to know that you have to pass the first place, and you claim to be the first name before you enter the examination room, is it possible that Lord Zhang of the county intends to cheat for personal gain?" ”

Who is Jiang Liuchu?

The son-in-law of the Jiang family in Qingzhou!

Can he tolerate others running rampant in front of him?

Joke!

As soon as these words came out, sure enough, the tea shed fell silent all of a sudden.

Wu Dayuan stood up "Teng", and strode in front of the three of them with a height of five feet.

"You said that?"

Jiang Liusu was raising his glass to drink tea, and when he heard him speak, he suddenly slammed the teacup on the table, and shouted: "Wuyang!" This tea shed is not clean! Flies are screaming everywhere, can't you hear them! Don't get the flies out yet! ”

Shen Kang was too accustomed to Jiang Liu's plain appearance, and when he suddenly saw him like this, he was a little unaccustomed to it, so he just smiled and didn't speak.

The little servant of the Jiang family got the order, waved his hand slightly, and seven or eight strong men came up.

Wu Yang arched his hand and said, "This son, do you want to go out on your own, or will we ask you to go out?" ”

Wu Dayuan's nostrils were dilated, and his face turned red and he asked sharply, "Who are you!" If you dare to do this to me, I will report to the Teachings and remove your name!" ”

Jiang Liusu tilted his head slightly, looked at him, and said, "I, Jiang Liusu." He raised his hand and pointed at Shen Kang and said, "He, is the villain Shen Kang who has no ink on your chest." ”

Wu Dayuan was slightly stunned, Shen Kang calmly took a sip of tea, raised his eyes to look at him, and said with a smile: "Whether I have no ink on my chest or not is up to the examiner to decide. Who taught you these mean words? Speak up and let me see and see. ”

"You, you." After listening to Shen Kang's words, where did Wu Dayuan dare to say that he was a protégé of Chang Jiao?

Shame is also ashamed.

He pointed at Shen Kang and Jiang Liushu sullenly, and said, "Let's see!" ”

"Little brother is waiting for good news." Shen Kang bowed slightly, polite, so angry that you jumped to your feet.

As the saying goes? Wordless pretending to be 13 the most coquettish.

After Wu Dayuan left, the entire tea shed was quieter.

A young man at the adjacent table walked over with a smile: "Brother Shen Xian, in Xia Qinzheng, I have already heard of Brother Xian's literary name and conduct, and I will finally see it today, fortunately!" ”

Shen Kang paused, feeling that the people in the entire tea shed were looking at him, as if waiting for his answer, he was calm, and smiled and arched his hand: "Fortunately." ”

The two words landed, and several students on the side stepped forward.

"Brother Shen Xian, it's a good luck!"

"I have long heard that you shined at last year's Liuyu banquet, with twelve colored flowers and twelve guests, leaning on the side of the hairpin with the wind. It's catchy, thought-provoking, and it's a good sentence! ”

"Brother Shen Xian, the rice crab cultivation has been passed to my family by the government, and my father and mother plan to try it according to the method this year."

"Huh? I heard that Brother Shen Xian and his classmates were put in heavy flail and escorted to Ruyang County, and they didn't change their colors all the way......"

Shen Kang nodded and responded with a smile: "A certain is just a fledgling student, and he doesn't dare to accept the false praise of your brothers." He added: "This Jiang Liushu is the leader of poetry and literature in our academy. and this Song Yuan, who occasionally has good sentences, is really lovely. ”

"Yes, I have long heard of Brother Jiang Xian's name as a poet, and it is really a blessing to see it today."

Shen Kang brought Jiang Liusu and Song Yuan beside him into the topic by the way, and chatted together, alleviating the embarrassing situation and giving himself a respite.

However, at the time of a cup of tea, I saw several Souzi holding swords and coming to the gate of the county school.

The group of candidates fell silent in a moment.

The door of the county school is open, and the county test is about to begin.

Seeing this scene, the students here waved goodbye to the three of them, and then Wuyang and Wuyang crowded outside the door of the examination room.

Liu Shu raised his eyes and looked at it, and said, "Childe, let's wait, we have to wait for the singer to protect when we enter the door, don't be in a hurry at this time, don't be crowded." ”

Song Yuan smiled and said, "Your son-in-law is strong and strong, I don't know how many times stronger than those weak students, when you said it, I thought Shen Sanlang was made of paper." ”

Shen Kang said with a smile: "Ah Shu, put down the basket, you go to the carriage and wait." ”

Liu Shu nodded, put the basket on the table, and then instructed: "Childe steady." ”

Shen Kang breathed a long sigh of relief: "Don't worry, didn't you hear what Brother Song said, your son-in-law is strong and strong, can he still not take this little exam." ”

"Yes." Liu Shu believed that Shen Kang could do well, but he couldn't help but repeat the instructions in his heart, and he repeated verbosity, all because of his love and respect for him.

Seeing Liu Shu walk out of the tea shed, Shen Kang turned his eyes to look outside the door of the examination room.

Today's spring breeze is full of will, how many people will be able to vote for the court in the future? Most people, after one examination after another, in the end it is still difficult to get their wish, and they sink in the sand on this long road to the imperial examination.

He saw an old man over the age of six, standing with a boy of eight or nine years old. He was dressed in a washed white green gown, with hairy cuffs, sewn and sewn, and he carried a basket alone, hunched back, slightly tiptoed, and looked into the door at the bottom of the steps of the examination room.

The search at the entrance of the examination room ripped off the students' clothes and searched their baskets one by one. Suddenly, a searcher shouted: "Bring the text in the pen!" It's a shame that you want to get it! ”

Everyone's eyes looked at the trembling scholar in unison for a moment.

"Someone! Pull it down! ”

The scholar's face turned pale, and he kept waving his hand: "Let a certain test take the test!" Official! Let's take a test! ”

Sou Zi sneered: "With a cheat sheet, are you worthy of a reader like you to enter the examination room!" Drag it away! ”

The iron-faced selflessness of the soap officer that followed dragged him away.

Jiang Liuxuan sighed and said, "Every time there is an examination year, there are people who try to pass the test in vain. ”

The students waiting below couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, scolding that what the person did was insulting, and scolding Souzi for being an inferior soap officer, and daring to disrespect the reader, but they had to wait here.

Looking at the backs of these people, Shen Kang suddenly felt a little sad, in later generations, education is not the only yardstick to consider people, people without academic qualifications, through their own efforts, can also strive for the upper reaches of society.

But these people today can't do it, they study, they study all their lives, they can't put down their bodies to do mundane things, they can't do business, they can't do anything that people look down on.

The imperial examination is their only hope.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he could better understand the deep meaning of the three-year covenant that his father had made with him and his second brother.

The crowd gradually entered the examination room, and Shen Kang and the three stood up and followed the back of the line up the steps.

Sou Zi selflessly searched them carefully, and then put them in the examination room.

Stepping on the threshold of the examination room, Jiang Liusu said: "The name of this door is Longmen. ”

Shen Kang smiled and said, "Brother Jiang didn't say it earlier, it's a pity that my carp crossed the dragon gate so casually." ”

"Hey, hey." Jiang Liushu said: "As long as you pass the test, there will be more opportunities to cross the dragon gate in the future." If you can participate in the palace test, then it is called a real carp crossing the dragon gate. ”
