Everyone was embarrassed when they heard this, but they didn't expect Yue Shuzhen, who had always been unsmiling and even seemed a little wooden, to have such ambitions. Fastest updates

Zhou Zhi's thoughts are more, the Yue family in Baiyue Village has not had a scholar for so many years, and it is precisely for this reason that the rapidly rising Chen family has the capital to compete with the Yue family.

But now the Chen family has no chance to recover because of the collusion with Li Shun and the bandits. The Yue family has become the undisputed boss in Baiyue Village, and their family has Yue Shuzhen, a scholar, and they will cover the sky even more in Baiyue Village in the future.

Fortunately, the difference between the Yue family and the Chen family is that the Yue family did not blindly rely on the people and tenants to run the family, they embarked on the road of business, so that the people of Baiyue Village and their tenants would not be bullied by them.

Fan Jin was silent for a while, and smiled at Lu Xingchuan, "Brother Xingchuan, Yue Shuzhen has such courage, give up his child's fame and retake the exam, don't you Lu Xingchuan have such courage?" ”

Lu Xingchuan immediately shook his head and said with a smile, "Brother Fan is making fun of me again, I don't want anything else, I just want to be successful in next year's Dao exam, and I will be very satisfied if I make a name for myself." ”

"Brother Xingchuan will definitely win the first place in next year's Dao test, hehe!" Qiu Haolan said.

"Hehe, how many years have I been taking the exam, I am still an old boy, it is really 'hooked for the old, hooked for the test, the old test for the child, the child is old for the old'!" Lu Xingchuan immediately laughed at himself.

Because Lu Xingchuan repeatedly failed the exam, he became an old boy, and his previous personality has changed and he has become very unconfident. However, through contact with Zhou Zhi and these literati friends, he was able to let go of his complicated mood and regain his self-confidence.

"Oops! It's just a few days since I saw him, and the exit of Xingchuan Xiandi is a pair, amazing, amazing! Fan Jin immediately complimented, then glanced at everyone, and said, "Since Brother Xingchuan is out of the upper pair, then please come out of the next couplet!" ”

The Shanglian that Lu Xingchuan just said actually only appeared in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, but Lu Xingchuan felt it, and a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and he suddenly said it. Everyone was caught off guard, and for a while, no one really came out of the next link as soon as possible, and they all frowned and pondered.

Only Zhou Zhi didn't care, his face was as usual, and he sat there silently. Fan Jin saw it really and said in surprise, "Speaking of the old man, he does have some Taoism, but he still can't compare to Zhou Zhi's boy!" Today, we are together, and we really don't have time to chant poems, so please ask Zhou Zhixian to say the next couplet! ”

"Me?" Zhou Zhi pointed to himself and asked in surprise.

"Huh! Not you, who else? I already saw that you were out of the next couplet. Fan Jin said hurriedly.

"'One is great, two are heaven, heaven is great, human affection is as great as heaven.'" Is this okay? Zhou Zhi said casually.

"Wonderful!" Fan Jin first exclaimed, and then Che Lang and the others couldn't help but admire.

Suddenly, Fan Jin's expression froze, and he said, "Speaking of talent, in the old man's opinion, Brother Zhou Zhixian should be the head of Qingdu County, and next year's Xiaobi Yue Shuzhen wants to seize the head of the case, hehe!" In the old man's opinion, he shouldn't be able to.

But! Alas! In our Qingdu County, the favor of this exam is really as big as heaven! Before each Xiaobi exam, I don't know how many people have to run for connections and bribe county officials, and they can pass the county exam very easily.

Regardless of Yue Shuzhen's talent, just because his niece married the county Cheng Yang Tong as a concubine, the county Cheng Yang Tong will definitely protect him in every way, from this point of view, this Yue Shuzhen is really likely to be the head of the high school case! ”

Fan Jin invited Yue Shuzhen to join the literary meeting, but Yue Shuzhen either didn't participate or came late, which made Fan Jin very dissatisfied with him and had a deep grudge against him.

Speaking of Yue Shuzhen's relationship with everyone, it is naturally not as good as the relationship between Zhou Zhi and everyone, everyone actually understands Zhou Zhi's talent, and to a large extent, they are looking forward to Zhou Zhi's first case.

Feng Mao said with a smile, "It's true that Qingdu County is trying to leave, but Brother Fan, don't forget, Brother Zhou Zhixian is a student of Chen Guangyao, the county magistrate, isn't this much harder than Yue Shuzhen's relationship?" ”

After Feng Mao finished speaking, he glanced at Zhou Zhi quite meaningfully.

Fan Jin said, "Brother Feng Mao doesn't know Zhou Zhixian's temperament? It's the relationship between the magistrate of the county, how can he move around? ”

Feng Mao nodded immediately. What Fan Jin said was true, based on his contact with Zhou Zhi and his understanding of Zhou Zhi, Zhou Zhi would definitely not do anything to bribe the examiner.

Listening to them, Zhou Zhi didn't say a word. The county magistrate has made it very clear to him that before next year's Xiaobi, he should not go to see him again, and the two of them will cut off any contact for a while.

Che Lang thought for a moment and said, "The county test in Qingdu County was really smoky in the past, and last year, the county magistrate almost didn't look at the test papers, and the ranking was obtained based on the relationship alone. But after all, that was in the past, and Chen Zhixian, who came after last year, is not necessarily the kind of person who bends the law for money.

A few days ago, when I went to the county seat, Mr. Qu said that Chen Zhixian wanted to take the exam seriously and correct the past practice of fraud and bribery.

In my opinion, Chen Zhixian wants to do something in Qingdu County. In next year's county examination, you will still have to rely on real talent and real learning before you can be admitted. ”

"That's good, that's good, Qingdu County can really have such a county, which is the blessing of those poor scholars in the county! I am afraid that the county will be difficult to support alone, and he will not be able to fight other officials in the county, such as the county Cheng Yang Tong and others. Qiu Haolan said worriedly.

He paused, and then continued, "Brother Zhou Zhixian is a student of Zhixian, and he needs to study and write more diligently these days, and try to have as little contact with the county as possible.

Alas! The officials of Qingdu County are too dark, and the officials are too cunning, so they really dare not compliment. ”

What he said seemed to be what Zhou Zhi was thinking, and Zhou Zhi nodded lightly.

"Okay, what's the use of me waiting for the officials to talk about it? For the sake of today, it is better to pay attention to reading and writing. Today I have brought a few new works, and I invite you to review them. Wei Haogu, who had not spoken, took out the paper and said.

Everyone stopped talking about the small comparison of the new year, and concentrated on reviewing the articles and exchanging experiences.

Soon it was noon, because it was the last gathering of the year ago, Lu Xingchuan deliberately let the family cook good dishes, and a few days ago he got a few jars of good wine from his uncle's house in Xinxian County, and everyone was delicious and drunk, so happy.

During the banquet, Che Lang said to Zhou Zhi again, "Next year's county test knows that the county has been released, and only two and eight shares will be tested." And it's all trivial. Therefore, in the opinion of Brother Wei, Brother Zhou Zhixian only did small questions two months before the exam, and it was better to keep improving. Brother Wei specially brought you three volumes of current texts, all of which are small questions from the county examination and government examination in Yuyao, Jiangyin, Zhejiang. ”

Zhou Zhi, a subset of Shiwen at Lu Xingchuan's house, has already read all of it, and I just don't know where to borrow it. And Jiangyin, Yuyao, Zhejiang is a place full of talents, and the articles they make are naturally high-class, Zhou Zhi hurriedly took it happily, and was grateful to Che Lang.

As a traverser and a liberal arts graduate from a well-known university in later generations, Zhou Zhi naturally has a lot of experience and is psychologically mature. Zhou Zhi actually has an idea, Qingdu County is just a small county, there are not many people who read, and the level is not very high.

If you fail the county test and even the capital test, then how can you pass the government test, the provincial test, the provincial township test, and the national general test? So he had to take the county test.
