At the banquet, officials walked among the students from time to time, answering the questions raised by the students. Gradually, Yuan Xuezheng came to Xie Yanqing's corner, which instantly made the students here excited.

Yuan Kuan first said a few words to a few students, and then suddenly named "Which one is Xie Yanqing?" ”

Xie Yanqing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but immediately reacted, and immediately got up and bowed to Yuan Xuezheng, "Student Xie Yanqing, I have seen Xuezheng. ”

Yuan Kuan glanced at Xie Yanqing carefully, he was really a child, it seemed that he had just turned ten years old, he was still too impulsive, but young people, impulsiveness is normal. But this time he should have been taught a lesson, and he almost couldn't even save his life.

"Come with me, I've got something to tell you." Yuan Kuan gestured to Xie Yanqing.

Xie Yanqing was very excited, his opportunity had come. He also knew about Yuan Xuezheng in advance, and he heard that he was an upright and benevolent person, and he was good at strategy and poetry, and he had never liked arithmetic, which was very much in line with Xie Yanqing's appetite. If he can become a disciple of Yuan Xuezheng, his journey to the imperial examination will definitely be much smoother, after all, someone will point out that it is different.

"Yan Qing, what did Yuan Xuezheng say to you just now? It's a great thing to be able to be found by Yuan Xuezheng to talk, why are you depressed when you come back? Chen Zhi asked curiously.

Since Xie Yanqing was found by Yuan Xuezheng to speak, Xie Yanqing's every move has been stared at, and Chen Zhi obviously felt Xie Yanqing's frustration, so he was so curious.

Xie Yanqing saw that the people next to him pricked up their ears after hearing Chen Zhi's words, and wanted to understand what they looked like, so he had to explain: "Brother Chen, it's nothing, Yuan Xuezheng is telling me to do what I can." He said that I came to take the college exam at such a young age, and it was too impulsive. ”

Xie Yanqing was indeed depressed at this time, because Yuan Xuezheng only told him these words, and he didn't have any idea of accepting him as a disciple. What's more, he knew that he was able to be on the sub-list this time because the official adult of the main examination had opened up the network, and his results were not enough to be on the sub-list. He wondered, how good would he have been when he got sick at the end? Can they all be on the list? It turned out that Master Fang saw that he had a lot of potential, and he didn't want this good seedling to be delayed, so he wanted him to be on the deputy list and be able to study in the county school.

As for why Lord Fang dared to be so selfish? That's because most of the students admitted to the sub-list are related households, and some eunuchs and wealthy families who have not passed the college examination will drag their children to the sub-list, so that they can enter the county to study.

Hey, what a disappointment today. There are so many officials, and none of them are interested in him, what a failure. Xie Yanqing couldn't help but feel sullen.

"Yan Qing, when do you plan to go home?" Chen Zhi suddenly spoke up, and Xie Yanqing, who was immersed in his own world, was really taken aback.

"Brother Chen, I should leave for home tomorrow." Xie Yanqing smiled embarrassedly.

"Don't you wait any longer? Brother Zhu and I plan to stay in the provincial capital for another two days before going home, so it's better for you to be late, and we can be companions together. Chen Zhi is kind and persuasive, and it is always better for the three of them to go home together. Because Yuan Sheng and Wang Ming didn't want to attend the thank-you banquet, they went back together yesterday.

"Brother Chen, it's okay now, and besides, the consumption in the provincial capital is too expensive, so I want to go back early." Xie Yanqing was a little embarrassed, but he and Xie Dawei really didn't have much money.

Originally, the money given by the Xie family's father-in-law was only enough to participate in the government examination, but Xie Yanqing took out all the money he secretly saved from his writing book, so that they could go to the provincial capital to participate in the hospital examination. But who would have thought that Xie Yanqing would get sick? You know, no matter ancient or modern, seeing a doctor is always the most expensive, so once they come and go, the money they have on them is only enough to go home. If they don't go back, they'll end up on the streets.
