Chapter 54: The County Examination (3)

Dou Ding was not in the mood to go against Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song at this time.

Although he was forced by Huang Xiancheng to strip naked and be searched, he also knew that the top priority at the moment was to do well in the county examination, and as for taking revenge on Huang Xiancheng and figuring out why the two Yan Heng brothers were not discovered, they could only be put aside for the time being.

Yan Heng also didn't have time to pay attention to a naughty and maybe a little calculating.

After he sat in his exam seat, he smiled and made a cheering gesture to Xiao Yan Song: "Come on!" ”

Xiao Yan Song understood what his brother meant, and hurriedly squeezed out his wavy eyebrows and winked at his brother Yan Heng, and also raised a small fist: "Come on!" ”

Then, Yan Heng began to place the food, pen and ink, and multi-functional straw paper in the test basket one by one.

And Xiao Yan Song also did the same, watching what his brother Yan Heng did opposite, he also did, carefully putting everything away.

Yan Heng made a strange appearance to Xiao Yan Song again, and his hands clenched into fists and erected them to his chest.

Xiao Yan Song also followed, and the missing teeth of the smile were also exposed.

I don't know, I thought the two brothers were not taking exams but doing pantomime.

Dou Ding saw that Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song had been making strange appearances, and couldn't help but smile contemptuously.

"I've never seen such a stupid person, I really don't know how brave his father was to let them take the county exam."

Dou Ding had a feeling of being insulted for participating in the county exam with the two brothers.

Even, Dou Ding regretted a little that he shouldn't have deliberately rectified Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song just now and was harassed by Huang County.

Because he now found that these two brothers were two fools, he didn't have to worry about what future they would have in the imperial examination, and he didn't have to worry about them taking away his cousin Ouyang Xue.

Ouyang Hong also saw Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song's actions from a distance, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, thinking that he was afraid that these two people knew that they had no ability, and they were purely here to have fun.

The other children of the Ouyang family were also speechless about this, and they all secretly thought that after the exam, they would have to find someone to tell the jokes of the two fools of the Yan family.

In fact, what they didn't know was that the reason why Yan Heng did this was just to keep Xiao Yan Song in a relaxed state.

After all, Xiao Yan Song didn't have any ink to participate in the county exam this time, and he relied on some articles and poems in his stomach temporarily, and he was young, so he was easily nervous, and when he was nervous, he probably wouldn't even be able to play any skills.

Now that he is an elder brother, he happens to sit opposite Xiao Yan Song, which itself gives him a certain sense of security, if he behaves more relaxedly, Xiao Yan Song will also feel relaxed and stress-free, so he may be able to play better.

At this time, a servant came over with a wooden sign, and the wooden sign was written with the title of the scripture and righteousness:

"No rules"

At the same time, some people read the questions on the side, so that the short-sighted Confucian children could hear the questions.

Xiao Yan Song obviously saw it, sat there in a daze, and suddenly smiled.

Yan Heng knew what he was laughing at, because the eight-strand model essay with this as the theme, Xiao Yan Song had memorized it, and it was the subject test paper of Xiong Xiu in Zhixian County!

Maybe Xiao Yan Song was at a loss at first, but as long as he thought about it, he could remember how familiar this topic was.

The prefectural test has always been the test with the highest degree of freedom and flexibility, and it is not surprising that there are test questions that have appeared before.

Sometimes, candidates only need to write the articles they have seen before to get the first place.

Yan Heng didn't have the energy to guess why Zhixian Xiong Xiu used the current question at this time, he was busy giving Xiao Yan Song a thumbs up now.

Xiao Yan Song was indeed very excited, because he was worried that he should copy that one when he encountered a topic, but he didn't expect that it was a topic he memorized, which was indeed a joyful thing for him.

And Yan Heng also has no pressure, although the one that Xiong Xiu has done, he can only give it to Xiao Yan Song for free, but he can also find other model articles, and it is a better model article.

Because this model essay is the work of the late Qing scholar Yu Yuezhong, who was in the top ten of the examination.

Yan Heng thought that it would take a lot of trouble to participate in this county test, and it was even very likely that he would really lose his name to Sun Shan, but he didn't expect that he and Xiao Yan Song would be so favored by the old lady.

In this way, Yan Heng was even more confident, and so was Xiao Yan Song, and the two brothers hurriedly began to study the ink and prepare to write.

As soon as Dou Ding saw the county exam questions, he closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, and only opened his eyes after the idea of solving the questions was cleared.

After opening his eyes, Dou Ding was very confident that he could win the championship.

Dou Ding saw that Yan Heng was already grinding ink with a lot of trouble, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, thinking that this Yan Heng was doing a good job, but he was afraid that he was just covering up his incompetence.

Ouyang Hong also glanced at Xiao Yan Song with disdain, and then he held his cheeks and began to think about how to solve the problem.

The two brothers, Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song, completely ignored the eyes of others at this time, and both studied the ink seriously, then spread out the paper and wrote the articles in their minds on the paper seriously.

"The rules are also followed, but only by this clarity and ingenuity."

Yan Heng wrote down his broken question, and Huang Xiancheng, who happened to help the invigilator, came over, and when he saw Yan Heng's broken question, he first nodded, and then had to shake his head when he saw his words.

When Yan Heng looked up, Huang Xiancheng was already standing at Dou Ding, and he didn't go again, probably still suspicious of Dou Ding's small movements.

Dou Ding couldn't help but roll his eyes, but he also started to study and write directly with interest, he wanted to show this ignorant little official to see how brilliant his writing was.

Unexpectedly, Huang Xiancheng was admiring Xiao Yan Song's beautiful font.

Xiao Yan Song is indeed talented in calligraphy, and perhaps his ability to write green words later into the eyes of Emperor Jiajing is also related to his extremely high calligraphy attainments.

Xiao Yan Song is now writing like a god, and he has no pressure to write the model text he memorized.

Huang Xiancheng couldn't help but be stunned, he knew Xiao Yan Song and knew that Xiao Yan Song was a filial little prodigy who knelt in front of the county yamen to suffer for his father, but what he didn't expect was that this little prodigy Yan Song was so powerful and could write the article so quickly.

Huang Xiancheng took a closer look, there are so many articles in the world, he naturally doesn't know that this is what Xiong Xiu has done today's county order, at this time, he only thinks that although the article written by Xiao Yan Song is not the best, it can be regarded as a superior work!

And Huang Xiancheng couldn't help but look at Yan Heng in the distance, because Yan Heng's words had scared him so much that he didn't dare to get closer, so he didn't know how Yan Heng's article was, but he felt that Yan Heng's writing as a brother was so poor, I was afraid that the article would not be much better, and now it seems that his brother Yan Song is more talented, but I don't understand why the above officials value Yan Heng more, is Yan Heng more cunning?

Huang Xiancheng was very angry about this, because he didn't like people who didn't have much talent but only played smart.
