Before the list was released, there were many opinions about who Xie Yuan was. After all, there is only one solution, and there is a certain chance and opportunity. In the final analysis, it is a scholar who is inferior to each other, and a particularly talented student has a particularly great appeal. They all want to be admitted to Xie Yuan, and no one is convinced. So there were a lot of people on the day the list was released, and before the list was released, a lot of people gathered. Some are students themselves, some are ordinary people, some singers, and some foreign merchants.

The county officials brought paste on the wall, a big red version of paper, from the bottom to the top, and posted it. When someone saw his name, he was half happy and half sad, happy that he finally passed the test, and sad that he was too backward. The county government deliberately whetted people's appetites, and the two officials slowly posted it up. Finally Ye Sheng, who was at the top of the list, everyone was stunned, who is this person. I haven't heard of it, it's so unexpected. Many students think that the government cheats. There is a reason for this, the minister was favoritistic during the Kaibao period, so Taizu duplexed again and admitted many students. If you succeed today, you are likely to overturn the retake. So those famous talents made a fuss again.

Bao Zhi County, as if he had expected such a thing to happen. Therefore, he rushed to the scene in advance and said in that tone: "Is there any hometown suitable?" Thinking of the academic official's evaluation of Ye Sheng, what do you want to do when you look at these people, especially Shen Pengyuan, you are the second place. Can your article not be the first?

But he said it was useless, and those famous students were red-eyed. Bao Zhixian beckoned to Shen Pengyuan, I know, this little brother is talented and learned, and he often wanders around the county, and he almost walks to his mansion.

Shen Pengyuan came to Bao Zhixian. Calm Yinuo: "I saw Zhixian in my later life".

Bao Zhixian sighed and said, "I've seen your article, and it's a good thing." Shen Pengyuan returned proudly: "Don't dare to be late." I heard that Ye Sheng returned home immediately after the exam and studied behind closed doors. You wanted to talk to him, but they left first. When you and the students are talking and playing in the mountains and rivers, they are studying hard at home. Shen Pengyuan was speechless. Seeing that Shen Pengyuan showed a look of shame on his face, but it was impossible to let Shen Pengyuan go like this. Bao Zhixian raised his head and said: I am very happy that this imperial examination has produced many talents, and I hope that there will be more students in Mengjin on the list during the provincial examination, and if I am still in office at that time, I will also feel very face-saving. "But talent is hard work, it's not impossible to study abroad, exchange knowledge with each other, but it's not for you to travel the mountains and rivers, spend all day drinking, and have fun. Let's put aside impetuousness, study with peace of mind, and the test is the beginning. The provincial test is your battlefield. ”

The noisy students all stopped, and Shen Pengyuan's face was flushed.
