Before Fang Zhongyong could look this strange candidate up and down, he had already lowered his voice and said to Fang Zhongyong in a thick Shaanzhou Shushui accent:

Wang Anshi received an urgent letter from home yesterday, saying that the uncle of the Wang family was seriously ill, and he gave up the scientific expedition and rushed back overnight. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info I'm afraid that Brother Zhong Yong won't be able to find him when the time comes, so I asked me to talk to you." ”

At this time, I heard a voice over there, also with a thick Shaanzhou accent, shouting: "Sima Guang, this way, this way-"

Sima Guang was about to give up his hand, but was grabbed by Fang Zhongyong, and asked hesitantly, "Brother Sima?" How do you know I'm Fang Zhongyong? ”

Sima Guang smiled evilly and said jokingly: "The first coquettish female sumo wrestler in Bianjing City can personally escort him, besides Fang Zhongyong, which one else can it be?" ”

Fang Zhongyong looked behind him, Jian Jiao was still standing outside the gate of the Gongyuan, and saluted him with a little warmth.

A burst of pride and trouble in being a blue face and trouble, instantly swished to the chest.

There are still a lot of people who have not yet entered the venue, and inside and outside the fence, there are two or three thousand people crowded. Coupled with the large number of servants who were stopped at the door, the group of relatives and friends, the number of people is even greater.

The lifters were standing in a bunch of east and west bunches at random, some were talking vigorously, some were shaking their heads, as if they were still grinding their guns. Baskets and luggage of different shapes and colors are all over the ground, and the sound of continuous humming echoes in the ears.

"Jian Jiao—"

"I heard that this female sumo wrestling is as passionate as fire, and she fell in love with Xie Yuanlang Fang Zhongyong of Jiangnan West Road."

"No, isn't that Fang Zhongyong. Tsk, look."

"That Fang Zhongyong is very handsome, just like a little lady, he is very good-looking. Maybe it's a broken sleeve. ”

"Shhhh

The people who ate melons were still discussing, and Sima Guang was already laughing again, and continued to joke at the other party, Zhongyong, and said: "If you can't ride a horse, there's nothing, and the blessings are boundless, wouldn't it be better." ”

Then, Sima Guang waved in the direction of his little friends, smiled at Fang Zhongyong, waved his hand casually as if he was already familiar with Fang Zhongyong, and then sped up his pace and ran towards his little friends.

……

After listening to the rules, receiving the number plate and signing, and bathing and inspecting, Fang Zhongyong followed the crowd and walked slowly towards his number room.

At this moment, the two students with Bianjing accents in front of Fang Zhongyong were talking about the shady exam all the way.

"Did you hear that? The list of the top 10 candidates for this issue has already been decided. ”

"If there is such a thing, then won't we take the test in vain?"

"It's not a white test, but the first ten seats, I don't think about it, the old man group has already arranged for his protégé."

……

The two students with Taizhou accents behind him are engaged in feudal superstition activities.

"I went to the 'Iron Mouth Feng Blind Man' at the East Fifth Gate a while ago, and I tested a word, and said that it was a must."

"Oh, is that so? Before going out this morning, I re-dapped my hands, burned a incense stick, and then drew one from the fifty divination herbs, and then divided the remaining forty-nine into two parts, and counted them in groups of four, and counted them in groups of four. ”

"Ben, yes, 'Ben', the image of civilization."

"Not only that, in the hexagram, the internal and external lines are relatively launched, which seems to indicate that they kill two birds with one stone."

"What's the solution? Don't you still have the one who catches your son-in-law at the bottom of the list, and you also want to take it? Look at what you look like, think beautifully. ”

……

Fang Zhongyong walked among these people, bored, he could only take a look at the food in his food box and test basket, revealing a helpless smile that had passed a little past the time for lunch, why hadn't he entered the room yet.

It took longer than the township test, and this time, it was not until the evening that Fang Zhongyong entered the room.

After everyone bathed, they all wore wide and large white cloth straight jackets, and moved slowly for more than two hours under the scorching sun in the August afternoon.

In short, when he entered his room, Fang Zhongyong was already hungry.

This room is narrower than the Gongyuan room on Jiangnan West Road, only three feet wide and only four feet deep. In order to facilitate inspections, the rooms were built with a roof, no door, and no windows, only a small niche for oil lamps, and two rows of protruding brick brackets on each of the east and west walls.

The table and bed are still in the same structure as they were during the village test, with two combined planks. When answering the questionnaire, separate the two boards and put one on each of the upper and lower layers of brick brackets to become tables and chairs. When it's time to go to bed, two pieces are placed side by side on the two brick supports below, and the bed becomes a bed.

The capsule travel apartment in the island country in the future is similar to the high-tech version of the "No. 1 room". The place is small, and those who are slightly higher can only lie on their knees.

The test will be different from the township test, and in the Gongyuan of Gangnam West Road, the basic tools for making a stove and rice will be provided. In the Huixian Tribute Courtyard, it completely relied on the "trumpet army" outside - the veterans who were responsible for cooking the diet of the children, and begged for boiling water for three pennies and a pot.

Fang Zhongyong begged for boiling water, soaked a bowl of rice noodles, watched the sun gradually set, and hurriedly ate it in a hurry. I hurriedly opened the pen and ink and started grinding the ink.

A burst of cannons rang out, the cannon closed the door, the trumpet fence closed one by one, and there was a quiet silence in all directions.

The oil lamp didn't give much, and while the sky was still good, Fang Zhongyong first turned to the poetry question with the least number of words to answer.

As expected, the title of the poem is given by the new Shixian word card - "Drunkard".

The word card of "Drunkard" is composed by Dr. Shen Zun, a doctor of Taichang, Cui Xian, a Taoist priest of Lushan, and Su Shi, a new literary prodigy, with a song, thus forming a fixed and fresh word card.

Although in the Great Song Dynasty, this word card will also be popular for a while, but in terms of overall circulation, this word card in later generations is quite niche, but it has not been lost. Later music scores can be found in the early Ming Dynasty "Feng Xuan Xuanpin". The tune, level, and rhyme have all changed slightly from the Northern Song Dynasty.

The best "Drunkard" has spread at this time, and it is the version made by Su Dongpo, who is still a prodigy and a cute baby.

So, we have to settle for the next best thing.

Fang Zhongyong thought about it carefully, and the most suitable copy of "Drunkard" in his memory at this time. Finally, he remembered the group of two drunken exercises that he had done only a few decades later, Lou Yu, who was later a bachelor of the Duanming Palace and signed the Privy Council.

Although the rhetoric is not as fragrant as the one on Dongpo, it is a rigorous rhyme and elegant intention, and it is the most suitable masterpiece for scientific research in the few "Drunkard Exercises" that have been circulated in later generations.

After thinking about it carefully, Fang Zhongyong carefully wrote the two poems on the test paper.

First, the drunkard the garden

Vast. Firmament. The green mountains are around, thousands of acres are sparkling, and the new autumn dew is blowing incense.

Melodious and cool. The ancient shore swayed the weeping poplars, and sometimes there were egrets flying in pairs.

The hidden monarch is there, and the crane and the soaring. Where is the old immortal, there is still a wind that has not been forgotten.

Qin and Junxi palace business, wine and Junxi cups, Qinghuan is not young.

The west mountain suddenly slanted sun, want to go and wander, but also will think of the autumn waves.

Second, the drunkard the piano

Ranran. Qingyuan ......

When I was about to write it again, my eyelids already felt like some of them were starting to fight. Thinking that there were still three days to do in the next three days, Fang Zhongyong put down the pen, packed up the roll and put it on the ground on one side, laid out the "bed", rolled the quilt, wrapped himself, and then blew the lamp.

Xu was tired, and soon fell asleep.
