It was still raining for the next few days, and the best thing to do on a rainy day, in addition to having children, was to read.

Yan Heng didn't go out again in the past few days, so he stayed in the inn with Xiao Yan Song and read and write articles honestly.

From Li Si of the Qin Dynasty to Sima Qian of the Han Dynasty, to Li Mi of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and even the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, as long as the content is related to the main purpose of my five out of ten and aspiring to learn, Yan Heng wrote it out, so that Xiao Yan Song memorized.

Xiao Yan Song's own essay on "I am determined to learn five out of ten" was also carefully reviewed by Yan Heng, pointed out the shortcomings, and compared it with several excellent contemporary texts of the same kind that he remembered in his mind.

Moreover, Yan Heng had to ask Xiao Yan Song to write a few equally excellent essays, at least infinitely close to this level.

Xiao Yan Song is talented, and he can write amazing good time essays in addition to being well-read, but no matter how Yan Heng looks at it, he still lacks a kind of background.

Yan Heng could only let him continue to read and memorize, and at the same time let him continue to write.

The time was spent in this repeated reading, writing, and writing, and it was not until the day before the start of the government examination that Yan Heng found that he and Xiao Yan Song's nails had grown, and they forgot to comb their hair.

It just so happened that Ouyang Xue came here at this time, and waited for Xiao Yan Song to open the door to take a look, only to find that the whole room was already full of paper, and Yan Heng was still sleeping sweetly on the bed with his clothes on his back.

The musty smell and the smell of ink in the rainy season were mixed with Ouyang Xue, who made everyone beautiful, cover her nose for the first time.

When Yan Heng woke up, he found that the room was much cleaner, but there were piles of three-inch-thick papers on the table.

Xiao Yan Song actually changed his clothes, wearing a clean dress, sitting on a stool and looking at his neatly trimmed nails.

The ground seems to be much cleaner, how did his mud-stained boots return to their original color?

"Has anyone been here?"

These days, Yan Heng has been taking care of training Xiao Yan Song, but he didn't make any preparations, so he stayed up all night last night and went through the current text in his mind about "I am determined to learn" or the content related to it.

That's why he slept for an extra hour or two today.

"Sister Xue'er has been here," Xiao Yan Song replied.

……

Finally waited for the day of the government test, Yan Heng didn't know how long he would have to go on the road to this career, but now he was at least about to cross the second hurdle.

Yan Heng stretched his waist, he began to sigh, the cold window in the past ten years is really not something that ordinary people can insist on, seeing an old man with white hair in front of him, he was even more awe-inspired, thinking that maybe focusing on a career and having no distractions is also a secret to longevity.

Xiao Yan Song also stretched his waist after learning from Yan Heng's appearance, and clenched his little fists and said to himself: "You must pass, otherwise you will be tortured by your father and brother again!" ”

The two brothers waited for the school exam with a relaxed mind.

And Dou Ding waited for the coming of the government examination with anticipation, and the results of the county test gave him a big shadow, so he made full preparations for getting the head of the government examination this time.

Especially when he saw Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song in front, he secretly vowed to let these two people taste the taste of falling this time.

"Alas, with your brother Yan here, there is no hope for me Dou to be the head of this government trial!"

Dou Ding doesn't know what is going on with him now, he likes to get close to Yan Heng now, he really wants to talk to Yan Heng, and even say some lies to flatter Yan Heng, as if not doing so is not enough for him to be happy enough when he sees Yan Heng fall off the list.

Xiao Yan Song saw that Dou Ding was coming, and hurriedly covered his brother Yan Heng and his own test basket.

And Dou Ding smiled awkwardly and continued to laugh: "Brother Yan is only afraid that he can win the case again this time." ”

"Thanks to Brother Dou's auspicious words, but don't say too much about this kind of auspicious words, if you say too much, it will come true!"

As Yan Heng spoke, he pulled Xiao Yan Song to be searched before.

And when Dou Ding saw Yan Heng say this, he couldn't help but hate in his heart: "When the time comes, when the list is sent down, I see that you are still proud!" ”

……

Because Wang Tong, the prefect of Yuanzhou, was just sued by his mentor Xiong Zhixian, so in order not to fall into the crime of favoritism and fraud in the government test, this government test was stricter than the county test in Yi County.

Not only did the Grand Master Yang Yiqing come in person, but the Wang Governor's Mansion also sent more invigilators and subordinates.

Xiao Yan Song couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and didn't dare to let go of Yan Heng's hand.

Yan Heng carefully instructed him:

"Xiao Yan Song, you remember my brother's words, no matter how strict the invigilation is in this government exam, and no matter how difficult the exam questions are, as long as you remember one thing, if the topic is "I have ten and I am determined to learn", choose a piece of time about this question that my brother remembered in the past and answer it, if not, you must make up such a sentence in the article, understand? ”

Xiao Yan Song nodded, this time he didn't arrange the exam with his brother Yan Heng again, so he was even more nervous, and when he looked around, he was snorted by the sergeant who was invigilating.

was so frightened that Xiao Yan Song could only sit down in a proper manner.

And Dou Ding couldn't help laughing when he saw it from the side, thinking that there was no five-year-old prodigy who ranked second in the county test in this world, and his brother must have done something last time, but now looking at him in a panic, I'm afraid it's because his brother is not around, and he is a little weak-hearted.

As he spoke, Dou Ding couldn't help but glance at Yan Heng in the distance, but saw Yan Heng sitting there quietly grinding ink, his mouth seemed to be consciously reciting something, and he didn't seem to have any nervousness at all, and he seemed to be very sure.

However, seeing this, Dou Ding became more and more disapproving, and said in his heart: "Even if you Yan Heng really has a bit of talent, I don't know that you are doomed to the fate of only falling before the exam, and when the time comes, see how arrogant you are!" ”

The title of the first session was announced in the form of a wooden card.

However, the title is not "I am determined to learn five times out of ten", but "The first scholar is all the things in the world, and all things in the world are beneficial to the poor because of their known principles".

Xiao Yan Song bit his lip lightly, he remembered that this was the words in "University", and how Zhu Zi, who he had memorized now, commented on this sentence, but what he was embarrassed about now was how to better solve the problem, and he also had to use the sentence "I am determined to learn" in the "Analects" said by his brother.

Fortunately, although Xiao Yan Song is young, he does have an agile literary style, and after memorizing dozens of ancient texts in his mind, he can naturally solve a problem, even if the idea may not be new, but there will be no big problems in the government exam.

And he also appropriately used the sentence "I am determined to learn five times out of ten" confessed by his brother Yan Heng into the article.
