Chapter 18 The Township Trial Has Arrived

After Liu Fan finished lunch, he wanted to find Sister Zhaoji to complain, but it was not early, so he had to reluctantly and reluctantly lead Xiaoliu to embark on the road of no return to the Zijian Prison, which is really close to the end of the world. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The days passed quickly, and half a month passed.

Liu Fan didn't have any big gains in the past half a month, but he finally listened to some people who messed around in the school every day. On the ten-day holiday, I honestly went home for a reunion dinner, a good baby in a feudal society, Mr. Liu was relieved, and with a wave of his hand under the joy, Liu Fan's monthly money rose from fifteen taels of silver to thirty taels per month. From time to time, Mrs. Liu also stuffed a few silver tickets to Liu Fan, with denominations ranging from fifty to one hundred. Look, there are still benefits to being a good baby, and it only takes half a month to increase your salary and earn extra money.

The biggest harvest is the sixth son, every time I come back to the little six, I will say good things to the master and Mrs. The young master, the lord and Mrs. are happy, reward! The young master has a better life, reward! In this way, in just two times, the sixth son accumulated a large fortune - two hundred and fifty taels of silver! Originally, Xiaoliu only had to reward him with two hundred taels, but Liu Fan had no intention of asking him once, he answered truthfully, Liu Fan rewarded him with fifty taels on a whim, Xiaoliu was very puzzled by this, and asked Liu Fan once, Liu Fan gently picked up the teacup, and explained to the sixth son with affection: "Because you are the young master's two hundred and five!" "The life experience of the sixth son is destined to have no chance to understand the deep meaning of the young master in this life.

The period of leaving the township examination is getting closer and closer, and the sound of reading in the national prison is coming and going, and at the end of the month, the day of the township examination has finally come. Liu Fan got up early, and when he looked, Mom, it turned out that he fell asleep on the desk, it seemed that he was working too hard, it was just a cantilever and a thorn in the beam, and he fell asleep on the table when he was sleepy from reading, ouch, his back hurts, he was very uncomfortable, and he was too tired. He picked up a book on the table, wrote five big characters of "Spring and Autumn Seeking Beauty", and scolded in his heart: "Xiaoliu is really not a thing, I am studying hard, what are you doing all the time sending this kind of novel to Young Master Ben, it's really shameless." "I don't know which author wrote this novel, anyway, it's very cool, Liu Fan couldn't imagine that the Great Chu Dynasty also had such a novel, it's so interesting. The wording is also very exquisite, taking off clothes is not called taking off, it is called falling, kissing is not called kissing, it is called stealing preserves, xxoo is not called xxoo, it is called ooxx. After reading this book, Liu Fan benefited a lot and was very moved, this conscientious people's artist is really great, he doesn't seek fame and fortune, he doesn't want money, he just writes hundreds of thousands of words in order to make people feel good. Liu Fan stretched his waist, and Xiao Liu brought breakfast, and today's breakfast was extraordinarily rich. After all, today's township exam, so I have to be cautious.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Liu said with a smile: "Young master, have you finished reading the book?" What do you think? This book is worth reading. ”

Liu Fan said with a straight face: "I've read this book, it's unbearable, it's just too bad!" I decided to confiscate it, Sixth Son, as a senior companion of this young master, I have high hopes, and you will follow me to serve the court in the future, and you want to govern the country and the country, how can you find this kind of book for the young master to read? In the future, you can find it for the young master to collect, no, it's confiscated, and you won't be allowed to read this kind of book in the future, so this book, I confiscated it, that's all. ”

Liu Fan hurriedly followed Liu Fan's meaning and said: "Yes, yes, the young master taught me that this kind of book villain is already uncomfortable after reading only one book, and he blames himself deeply, where is he willing to read the second book." ”

When the master and servant were talking a little witty, there was a chief Xu and an assistant teacher in the dormitory to wake people up, it turned out that Master Tang was afraid that the prisoners would get up late and delay the exam, so he ordered someone to call the bed (a simplified version of calling people to get up). Xiao Liu hurriedly changed Young Master Liu Fan's clothes, served Liu Fan hastily for breakfast, and followed Liu Fan to the examination room. met the ladyboy on the road, Li Gongzi was full of confidence, shook his fan and said hello to Liu Fan from afar, and asked Liu Fan: "Is Brother Liu sure to be at the top of the list this time?" Liu Fan pretended to be pitiful, shook his head and said: "I was originally sure, but yesterday Xiaoliu sent a book, saw it in the middle of the night, and woke up today with a muddy head, I'm afraid that this time the results will not be ideal." Li Gongzi was very sorry, and cheered Liu Fan up: "Brother Liu's writing is very good, even if he stays awake all night, he must be able to get a good ranking." Brother Liu should not be humble. ”

Humble yourself sister, don't you understand what Ben Shao said? Liu Fan was very helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Li, don't wear a high hat for Zaixia, you still know your own catties and taels." ”

Saying that, Liu Fan and the ladyboy Li Gongzi walked into the examination room together.

The examination room looks very formal, using the venue of the imperial examination, and as far as the eye can see, the sheds are scattered, and they are so continuous that there is no end in sight. Each person was divided into pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and went to the examination booth, and then gave the test questions, the so-called test questions, but only a few words, on which the word "diligent study" was written. Needless to say, this is teaching people to compose a poem. What Liu Fan is most afraid of is quoting the scriptures, but he is not afraid of poetry, but fortunately, this is only a township test, mainly to find out the foundation of the new prisoner, but it has not involved so much complicated content. "Diligent study?" Liu Fan hesitated to pick up his pen, and saw a teaching assistant carrying a lantern passing by the examination booth. As soon as Liu Fan's thoughts were broken, he scolded in his heart: "What kind of lantern to carry in broad daylight." ”

Liu Fan couldn't figure it out, so he didn't want to think about it too much, he picked up the pen and fell into deep thought.

"Study hard, study hard" think about it, this is a township test, you can't fail the test, try to do your best. Liu Fan pondered for a long time, and finally had a draft, his face softened, he smiled slightly, and was about to start writing, but he stopped. Why? Because he Liu Dashao can't write calligraphy, and the words he writes are like earthworms crawling, so he really can't handle it. "What to do? What to do? "Liu Fan is really turning into an ant on a hot pot at this moment. Suddenly, Liu Fan had an idea, raised his hand, and after a while, a teaching assistant came over: "What are you doing without writing poems and raising your hands?" ”

Liu Fan hurriedly said: "Teaching assistant, the student wants some carbon black." ”

"What do you want carbon black for?" The teaching assistant was puzzled.

Why are you 100,000, where are there so many questions, Liu Fan is very angry, but on the surface, the more respectful and polite he is, he bowed and said: "Ask for your permission." ”

The teaching assistant still has some humanity, and instructed a servant to go to the kitchen and find a burned wooden stick for Liu Fan. In this era, naturally no one will know what a pencil is, not even graphite, and Liu Fan will not use a brush, so he can only replace it with carbon black.

Liu Fan held the carbon black in his hand, thought about it in the face of the test paper, smiled again, his eyes fell, and he waved his hand freely, all in one go.

After finishing the poem, Liu Fan relaxed, put down the carbon black and looked at the situation of the other candidates, many inmates in the examination shed were still worried. Liu Fan smiled slightly, sat on the chair, rested his head on his arm, and waited for the gong to sound.
