The entrance examination was approaching, and Xia Yuanding originally felt that there was nothing, because he had experienced countless big and small exams, and he felt that it was no big deal, but when it really came to that time, he was still a little nervous. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It seems that he still can't be unfazed, he says he doesn't care about gains and losses, but in fact, he still cares in his heart.

In January, the county office has announced the examination date of the county examination, which is set for the seventh day of February, of course, there is still a lot of preparation work before that.

Children who want to take the exam need to register with the county office in advance, and the candidates fill in the personal confession, mutual knot, and affidavit.

The confession is mainly to write one's own identity information, such as name, age, etc., and also to write the history of the three generations of ancestors. Mutual knot means that the candidate asks five people to write each other's mutual bond policy, and the cheater sits in a row. The knot, also known as the guarantee, is guaranteed by the endowment, and the candidate who is guaranteed is not impersonated, not hidden, not substituted, not fake, not a descendant of advocating excellent soap, and he has not committed any crime.

Their Xia family is a professional in the exam, these things are naturally clear, and now it is February, and these have been prepared as early as January, so there is no need to worry.

Originally, I thought that it was too early for me to take the county exam at such a young age, but I heard that someone won the top exam when he was seventeen years old, Xia Yuanding's face couldn't help but twitch, this is too against the sky, even if he doesn't fall off the list once, it will take six or seven years.

After thinking about it generally, he has generally mastered the things that his grandfather taught, and the level is there, so he doesn't think about it anymore, and quickly closes his eyes and sleeps.

On the fifth day of the second lunar month, early in the morning, Xia Yuanding saw his grandfather and Yuan Jie, today is the day they enter the city, this year's spring comes a little late, and sometimes there is a little chill.

"Dad, you don't have to go, my third brother and I just send them over!" Xia Shouzhi said to Xia Jizu.

"Yes, Dad, it's a bumpy road, and it's important that you still rest at home!" Sanboxia Shouli also said in a loud voice.

"It's not in the way, I'm still going to check it, and by the way, I'm going to visit an old friend, I haven't seen it all winter, I should see it!" Seeing the old man say this, Xia Shouzhi and the two brothers glanced at each other, and they both expressed helplessness.

"Ding'er, go to the test well, don't be burdened, you are still young, if you can't do it this time, there will be a next time!" Xia Li looked at his son and said encouragingly.

"If you can get over, when you come back, I'll ask my mother to make you something to eat!" Xia Yingxue also said on the side.

"Alright, you all go back, let's go!"

"Let's go!"

Compared to the last time they went into the city together, the meaning of this time is very different, this is to run for the future.

"I've memorized all the scriptures that I asked you to memorize before, so I'm going to test you now!" As soon as he got in the car, Xia Jizu couldn't wait to review his homework for his two grandchildren.

Now they have to rely on those classic works like the Four Books and Five Classics, that is, the sages here, most of them are this and that.

"The third part of Du Zi's "Qi Wu", Yuan Ding, you will memorize it!" Xia Jizu spoke.

"......, the husband is self and not the other, the beauty of oneself and the evil of others, everything is the same, so although right and wrong are different, the other and I are also ......"

An article, Xia Yuanding completed it in one go, without the slightest pause, and the tone was frustrated, so that the observers could not find the slightest flaw.

"Very good, Yuan Ding is very familiar with it, Yuan Jie, you can memorize "Hundred Questions"!"

"Yes, Grandpa!" Saying that, Xia Yuanjie began to recite the sage articles again. These "Qi Wu" and "Hundred Questions" are all classic works written by Hongru in this world, and they are the content of the county examination.

The road was bumpy, and the three of them, one old man, two young people, asked and answered on the ox cart, knowing that they were satisfied with the question, Xia Jizu stopped and said: "There is no problem for you to pass the county test, and it is more than enough to pass the government test!" ”

It's really fake, Xia Yuanding didn't dare to draw conclusions, it's not that he doesn't have confidence in himself, he really doesn't know how deep the water is tested in this mansion. Besides, what Grandpa said, sometimes he didn't fulfill it, maybe he deliberately said words of encouragement to make them confident.

"Looking at this year's situation, I'm afraid it's another bumper year!" While hurrying to the road, Xia Shouzhi looked at the green wheat seedlings on the side of the road and said.

"Yes, it snows in winter, and the crops are growing better, so as long as there is no drought, we can have a good year this year." Xia Shouli and the fourth brother always talked about farming.

"It's just that my Daning border has never been really stable since the founding of the country, and there are strong enemies on three sides, and I am in harmony!"

Xia Jizu suddenly felt something, which reminded him of many years ago, when he was still young, just in time for the cavalry sent by the Northern Yan to harass the border, full of blood and nowhere to vent, just because he complained a few words and criticized the court's peace policy, so that he was on a certain blacklist.

failed to make the list three times in a row, and his career was ruined, and it was rumored that he had offended someone, and it was all the same. Back then, he was also famous many times, and he had also been to the imperial capital, and all kinds of inadequacies in the past were not for outsiders.

has always been a very peaceful life, Xia Yuanding thought that Daning was very powerful, but he didn't expect that there were three strong enemies around Beiyan, Nanyue, and Xiliang, and he didn't raise troops for decades, just to recuperate?

Hearing and kissing, Xia Yuanding could think of only the word shame, even if he didn't have a deep affection for this country now, but in the land where he grew up, thinking that his peace was actually exchanged for a woman, no matter how calm his heart was, he would be touched.

"Grandpa, can we beat them now?" Xia Yuanding asked.

Hearing this question, Xia Jizu glanced sideways, took a good look at Yuan Ding, and said thoughtfully: "At the beginning of the dynasty, it was indeed impossible to beat, the population was sharply reduced to less than forty percent compared with the previous dynasty, the fields were barren, all kinds of waste were waiting to be rebuilt, there was a shortage of war horses, weapons were insufficient, and the supply of grain and grass was difficult. After the three dynasties of Gaozu, Taizong and Gaozong, the national strength is flourishing, but the war is not a poem and a poem, the cavalry of Beiyan and Xiliang has a high combat power, and the naval division of South Vietnam is also known as the first in the world. ”

Listening to Grandpa's tone, he didn't seem to approve of war, but sure enough, he was getting old, and he looked at problems from a different angle.

"But if you're always bullied, shouldn't you give back the grievances you have suffered?" Xia Yuanding asked.

"You can understand this, grandpa didn't understand it when he was young, when you grow up, go find the answer yourself!" Xia Jizu patted Yuan Ding's shoulder and said.

Xia Yuanding stopped talking, but just looked at the north from a distance, thinking that if the battle really started, would it hit their hometown, and he didn't want the peace here to be broken.

The axles creaked, and when they looked back, a lonely mountain was quietly watching them go west in the east, and they could sigh what year it was!

――――――

Heaven and earth people, seeing the word "Sanhe" hanging on the head of the city, they knew that this was going to enter the city, the crowd outside the city has gradually increased, the crowd of people entering and leaving the city is mixed together, when there are fast cars and horses passing, there will be some commotion.

"Baiyun Inn!"

Xia Yuanding saw that he had arrived at the old place again, and his grandfather would take care of his old friend's business, and he liked to live here because he didn't live in so many shops in the city.

"Grandpa Xia!" As soon as I entered the inn, others didn't see it, and the first thing I saw was Wang Jinxuan, a little girl.

"Jinxuan, why did you run to the counter, your father!" Xia Jizu asked.

"Dad has something to go out and says let me help look at the store for a while!" Wang Jinxuan said with a sweet smile.

"What nonsense, how can you be watching here, you come, follow me to the backyard, your grandfather is at home!" Xia Jizu pulled Wang Jinxuan and was about to leave, and before leaving, he didn't forget to instruct, "Shouzhi, you guys are here to watch for a while!" ”

Xia Yuanding remembered that his grandfather seemed to have brought a gift to this little girl, which was enviable, and he couldn't understand the inside story.

"What's there to look at in the store, just greet the guests and have a buddy, what can you do at the counter, and help settle the accounts?" Xia Yuanding thought so, he thought it was impossible, Wang Jinxuan might just be acting on the counter.

In that case, why did he stay here, so he quickly said that he was in urgent need of urine, so let them stay here.

This is the second time he has come here, and he is also very familiar with this place, and he does not need others to lead the way, and he can go wherever he wants.
