Entering the main hall of the county school, Xie Shen found that the Confucian edict was also there.

The young man hurriedly bowed to the Confucian Teaching, but the Confucian Instruction waved his hand, signaling Xie Shen not to restrain him.

Wu Xianling coughed lightly and said: "I have also read your article in this county, it is a clever idea, the idea is profound, and the article is written in a spicy and decent manner, which can be described as a burst of blood." Even the Confucian teachings have praised your article. ”

Xie Shen didn't know what Wu Xianling meant by boasting like this, so he humbly stood with his hands tied so that he could listen to Wu Xianling's teachings.

No matter what, Wu Xianling was also born as a Jinshi, and he knew much more about the imperial examination and many unspoken rules of the Ming officialdom than Xie Shen. Listening to more suggestions from him will only be beneficial to Xie Shen's development.

"But your edge is too exposed, and the county is afraid that you will suffer in the future."

Wu Xianling sighed, looking quite helpless.

"Please also ask the county to teach you."

Xie Shen knew that Wu Xianling had something to say, and he didn't want to go around with him, so he simply took the initiative to ask for advice.

Wu Xianling said in a deep voice: "If your article is put in the township test, it will definitely be a superb work." However, in the county examination, it stands out from the crowd and will arouse suspicion. ”

Xie Shen said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the county is suspicious of the students? ”

Wu Xian Ling shook his head and said, "At first, the county did suspect you, but you were brought out by Confucius. The county specially found Confucius and asked him about your schoolwork. Confucius praised you for your extraordinary talent and a rare talent. He has read your writing and is sure that it is your style. ”

Xie Shen let out a sigh of relief.

Wu County's tone just now really made him palpitate, but fortunately, Confucius told him to protect him, otherwise it would be a little difficult to do if Wu County's order was suspicious.

It seems that his choice of Zhang Juzheng's article is indeed too aggressive. Although Zhang Juzheng's ranking in the imperial examination in history is not ideal, he is also a good player in sycophant articles, and his articles are used to cope with entry-level exams such as the county examination, which is like killing chickens with a knife - too wasteful.

"It's terrible."

Wu Xian Ling paused and continued: "If you are from a family, it is nothing, but you are a child of a poor family. If someone is jealous of your talent and orders your servants to spread rumors and make trouble, you don't even have a backer who can shelter you from the wind and rain. ”

Xie Shen secretly said Aren't you Lao Tzu's backer, otherwise Lao Tzu will do his best to please you.

"It's good for young people to have ambitions, but they have to learn to hide their edges. April is the government exam, you should prepare well, and don't let down the county's ardent expectations for you. ”

Xie Shen thought that Wu County's order had said a lot of things, and he would give him a set of information such as a red treasure book, and no matter how bad it was, he would have to write a note and hand it to the prefect to say hello in advance. Just said a word of encouragement, is it right to start the eternal article written by Xie Shen?

Confucius also said: "What the county zun said is right, you must guard against arrogance and rashness, and don't be carried away by the results of the county test leader." In normal times, you might be praised as the head of the case. But this year is the year of Dabi, and the talents of the Ming Dynasty have gathered in Beijing after the township test selection. At this time, all three exams have been completed. March 15 is the temple examination. Now don't say Zhejiang, that is, the eyes of the world are gathered in Beijing. ”

Confucius's words can be regarded as pouring cold water on Xie Shen. He thought that the head of the county trial case could make him famous, and no matter how bad it was, he could take advantage of the situation to squeeze into the circle of Yuyao gentry. But now it seems that Xie Shen's time to participate in the county exam is very unlucky.

Now it is the sixth year of Hongzhi, and in February and March, there are two big exams in the Beijing Division, the meeting examination and the palace examination, who else will pay attention to who is the head of the district and county examinations?

Xie Shen was very disappointed, but the result could not be changed, and now all he could do was to try his best to take the next government exam.

"Be quiet in your studies. With your qualifications, as long as your mind is calm, it is still easy to obtain a student qualification. ”

Confucius seemed to be well versed in the essence of the carrot stick theory, and at this moment comforted Xie Shen.

"Thank you for your teachings."

Xie Shen is also a student of Confucius, and he still has to listen to his old man's words.

After listening to the chicken soup from Wu County's order and Confucius's edict, Xie Shen was a little depressed in his heart.

When the door of the school hall opened, Xie Shen walked out slowly with Wu County's order and Confucius's edict, and the students who were on the list of county exams cast envious glances at him.

The treatment of the head of the case is good, and he has received separate teaching and guidance from the county and the teachings.

Xie Shen vomited blood in his heart, what kind of teaching, it was clearly a big truth. These big truths not only did not help Xie Shen in his next exam, but also hit the teenager hard.

Hey, that's it, that's it. How to say that this is also the first case that Xie Shen took after coming to Daming to participate in the imperial examination. Although the treatment of the county test head was very different from what he imagined, at least Xie Shen had been greatly boosted in terms of confidence.

Wu Xianling and Confucius were both busy people in Yuyao City, and the two didn't say anything more to the students on the list, and left directly.

As soon as they left, everyone's eyes fell on Xie Shen.

"Xie is worthy of being a genius, and my Yuyao must have another Jinshier."

"The champion doesn't dare to say, how can it be a three-ding armor."

"Why not the champion? Maybe the head of the Xie case will come to a company with three yuan. ”

"Tut, the grandson was boasted like a fairy before, what happened to the result, he was not at the end of the list. Today, I thanked the county for not coming, and he pretended to be sick, and this amount of energy is afraid that this is the case in this life. ”

"Then how can the rats of the Sun family be compared to the head of the Xie case. In addition to his background in the Sun family, what else can he compare with the head of the Xie case? ”

"That's right......"

I don't know who said it first, and then the students' praise for Xie Shen continued one after another.

Among these people, many of them boasted about Sun Ruoxu in the restaurant before the exam. Now that Sun Ruoxu has been defeated by Xie Shen, they have all fallen to Xie Shen, which is really a pile of wall grass.

For Sun Ruoxu, Xie Shen was no longer worried at all. Most of the students who can pass the prefectural examination are at the top of the county exam, and Sun Ruoxu will be directly classified as mediocre by the prefectural examiner if he takes such a final ranking. Once Sun Ruoxu can't get fame, his title of the eldest young master of the Sun family will have no appeal, after all, the reason why these families can prosper for a hundred years is because they can continue to produce scholars with merit and fame like machines.

As soon as there is a break in this period, these families will be questioned. If the family can't produce a few people in time to dispel doubts, the rumors will ruin these seemingly powerful imperial examination families.
