Chapter 55: County Examination (4)

Because Yan Heng's series of actions after the crossing attracted the attention of Yang Yiqing, the deputy envoy of Jiangxi, Wang Shu, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and the old merchant of the pavilion.

And these bigwigs unanimously decided that Xiong Xiu must turn Yan Heng into his student, so as to avoid a generation of genius prodigies falling into the hands of eunuchs.

Xiong Xiu couldn't refuse the kindness of several officials, after all, several officials said that this was for their own good, and that they were the mentors of genius prodigies, to lay the foundation for their future political forces, and also to increase their strength for the political consolidation of Qingliu civil officials.

So Xiong Xiu gave Yan Heng great attention, although he had taken the Yan Heng exam once, but he was not sure whether Yan Heng, a twelve-year-old boy, could win the championship or be among the best in the county, after all, in the entire Fenyi County, there are not many people who are higher than Yan Heng in terms of current literature, such as Xia Yan and Ouyang Hong.

After knowing that Yan Heng made money by summarizing the previous county examination answer sheets, Xiong Xiu, the magistrate of Fenyi County, thought of a way, in order to let Yan Heng pass the county examination smoothly and become his own student smoothly, Xiong Xiu decided to release the water and directly produce the current questions that had appeared in the past.

However, when the county exam was about to start, Xiong Xiu, the county magistrate, found that many people were carrying cheating, and they were all booklets from Wenqu Study, which made him very annoyed, and he was very worried that Yan Heng would do the same and play these tricks.

As a result, Xiong Xiu temporarily changed the idea of the current title of the county examination that he had taken in the previous Fenyi County examination as the county examination questions, and temporarily took out the current language questions he had done as the county examination questions.

Xiong Xiu, the magistrate of Fenyi County, believes that if Yan Heng is a student who studies steadily, he will also collect the world's excellent current texts, and will study all the current texts with his heart, and do all the current topics that appear with his heart.

Therefore, Xiong Xiu felt that the questions he had done not only took care of the embarrassment that Yan Heng might not be able to play in the examination room, but also tested whether Yan Heng was well-read in a down-to-earth manner.

Of course, in this case, some Confucian children who tried to cheat by relying on the booklet of Wenqu Study would not be able to cheat, which can be regarded as indirectly protecting Wenqu Study and preventing Wenqu Study from falling into the crime of disrupting the imperial examination.

It is worth mentioning that a few years later, Xiong Xiu will regret the care he took of Yan Heng today, because he did not know that he was cultivating the gravedigger of the gentry group

……

Huang Xiancheng had already gone to other places to invigilate the exam at this time, and Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song had already finished this essay from "Mencius".

Yan Heng dried the answer sheet, put away the pen and inkstone, and squeezed his eyes at Xiao Yan Song.

Xiao Yan Song also pouted, and showed a silly smile at his brother Yan Heng.

The two brothers were indeed very happy, and they were thanking Heaven for His blessing.

Yan Heng played a lot, took out the egg, and wrote the chemical formula "What is carbon plus oxygen equal to" on the egg with a brush?

Xiao Yan Song has already followed Yan Heng to accept some mathematical, physical and chemical common sense, this most basic chemical reaction formula, he has mastered it, and did not hesitate to write carbon dioxide on the egg.

Yan Heng gave a thumbs up to Xiao Yan Song, wiped off the ink on the eggshell, and then wrote two Arabic numerals with decimal points.

Xiao Yan Song, who had already mastered the meaning of Arabic numerals and knew the meaning of the decimal point, quickly made a size comparison.

Yan Heng gave a thumbs up to Xiao Yan Song again.

Xiao Yan Song happily raised his little head and crossed his waist, obviously proud of his cleverness.

Yan Heng is now basically using this entertaining way to let the genius Xiao Yan Song master more knowledge, Arabic numerals, which are very convenient to represent mathematical meanings and English letters, have been taught to Xiao Yan Song for half an hour every day.

Xiao Yan Song has a strong learning ability, and now he can almost go to higher primary school.

The two brothers have been playing happily like this since they finished answering the paper, sometimes Xiao Yan Song will answer incorrectly, Yan Heng will shake his index finger, and then Xiao Yan Song will pout unwillingly.

And Dou Ding and other candidates are still struggling to think about how to choose words and make sentences.

In fact, it is not very simple to ask a teenager to answer this kind of current text, even if he is intellectually superior, at most he is about the same as an adult, and he needs to think carefully.

Therefore, none of the candidates present thought that the two brothers had any superiority because they finished answering in advance, and they all felt that they were giving up on themselves.

The two brothers Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song were tired of playing for a while, so they began to eat, Xiao Yan Song clumsily peeled the eggshell, wanted to be coquettish to Yan Heng, and asked his brother to help him peel it, but he also knew that Yan Heng couldn't come over, so he could only follow Yan Heng's steps to touch the eggshell to the wooden board.

Xiao Yan Song made a crackling sound when the wooden board was broken, which also attracted the attention of the examiner and the invigilator, but everyone didn't care when they saw that he was a child.

Yan Heng pointed at Xiao Yan Song with a little seriousness and made a gesture to keep quiet.

Xiao Yan Song smiled embarrassedly, and threw the egg into his mouth, and the corners of his mouth were full of yolks.

The second article didn't come out until the afternoon, so Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song were not in a hurry, and they took a nap not long after eating.

When the gong sounded, Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song woke up from their sleep.

Xiao Yan Song was already drooling, but fortunately, Yan Heng had reminded him to put his answer sheet aside, otherwise his answer sheet would have been ruined by Xiao Yan Song's own saliva.

The sound of the gong means that the first essay answer sheet is over, and someone will come to collect the answer sheet.

The invigilator who collected the test paper looked at Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song with disdain, because they found that these two brothers were sleeping in the entire examination room, and other candidates were answering the questions seriously.

Dou Ding finished transcribing his answer sheet on time, he was very satisfied with his answer sheet, and he felt that he was a wonderful pen.

Then, Dou Ding also looked at Yan Heng, he thought that Yan Heng had no answer sheet to hand in, but he didn't expect Yan Heng to take the initiative to give the answer sheet to the invigilator who collected the paper.

Dou Ding was stunned, but he also secretly laughed at Yan Heng, who didn't know what kind of bullshit answer he handed in.

Ouyang Hong was a little annoyed, because although he finished answering, he always felt that he was not satisfied with the answer.

In his opinion, the questions of this county exam are more difficult, because the questions are a little biased, and they are short, it is difficult to grasp the deep meaning, unlike the kind of long Shiwen questions that can basically easily know the meaning of the question.

Ouyang Hong couldn't help but secretly complain about the person who asked the question, and when he saw that Xiao Yan Song had also finished answering the paper, he was even more inexplicably nervous in his heart.

Indeed, Zhixian Xiong Xiu temporarily changed the question in a hurry, and only thought about how to test Yan Heng, but he didn't expect that the question itself was difficult, which would discourage a large number of candidates who were not fully prepared.

As a result, even now, there are many Confucian children who have not answered the questions, among them, the children of the Ouyang family account for several of them.
