February 12 is the day before the final day of the prefectural exam. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xie Xianling has decided to take only one exam, because he already has a grasp of the knowledge level of the students in this county, and there is no need to spend time on one more exam, which is good for everyone.

This last one was presided over by the county magistrate himself, before leaving, Xia Yuanding deliberately looked for the clear water in the copper basin, and after seeing the appearance of his jade tree in the wind, he left satisfied, this stinky and beautiful appearance was fortunately no one saw it.

"When you get to the Confucianism Department, try to get as close to Xie County's order as possible after entering, do you know?"

On the way, Xia Jizu was still instructing, looking at his grandfather's experienced appearance, Xia Yuanding only felt that his grandfather's majestic image had completely collapsed in his heart, and he had indeed taught him some twists and turns these days.

Xia Yuanding couldn't imagine how such a shrewd grandfather could be tricked by his two brothers back then, with his grandfather's current life experience, obviously nothing could escape his sharp eyes.

The Confucianism Department is the place where Xie Xianling meets students.

No matter how fast their carriage was, it was no faster than people's fame and fortune, and by the time they arrived, some people had already begun to enter through the door of the Confucian Education Department.

"Hurry up and get in, someone else has taken out the seats in the front row!" It's hard to say anything, Xia Jizu pushed a grandson in one hand in the direction of the door of the Confucian Education Department.

Presumably these are the people who were admitted, Xia Yuanding looked at these students who were generally different from their age, and thought to himself. Is it just necessary, just to meet with the county master and a few officials, why are you so anxious, the exam has to be tomorrow!

He and his cousin then joined in, and the two of them became the center of attention, and they were surprised that such a young student could be admitted.

Everyone came to the main hall, but unfortunately the front place under the plaque had been occupied, and they could only choose the back corner. But it doesn't matter, Xia Yuanding thought, with the age of their two cousins, no matter where they sit, they will be concerned.

After all the students arrived, they began to talk and make friends, which were all the same year and fellow villagers, and they would have a good idea when they went out in the future.

It's just that no one came up to talk to Xia Yuanding and them, maybe they also felt that there was an age gap, and they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to talk together.

After the arrival of Xie County's order, the chief bookkeeper, the secretary's office, the teachings and others, the main hall, which was still a warm atmosphere, became quiet.

Seeing the county officials, all the students saluted one after another, fortunately it was not kneeling, otherwise Xia Yuanding would rather give up the opportunity to take the exam and kneel to his parents, even if the emperor Lao'er came, Xia Yuanding also had the backbone and did not kneel.

After the ceremony, Xie Xian ordered to say a few words as usual, and took some innocuous words to encourage the candidates, hoping that they would focus on their studies and guard against arrogance and rashness.

The final exam of the county exam, the fourth exam presided over by Xie County Order, because he passed the first exam, Xia Yuanding sat in the front row.

Yesterday, when he was in the Confucian Education Department, Xie Zhi noticed that two seedlings suddenly appeared in a tall poplar tree. Naturally, he didn't think that it was a child from a family who was running around to play, he knew that there were two very young schoolchildren.

It's just that the age of seven can pass the county exam, not to mention that it is rare in Sanhe County, that is, Zhongzhou, the whole Daning, he has never heard of it so far, and he admitted these two students, which is a precedent.

He read the article written by Xia Yuanding, it was indeed well written, and at first glance, it was pleasing to the eye, and it was really unreasonable not to admit it. It's Xia Yuanjie, he thinks it's still a little worse, but the other students are really not angry, so he has to admit Xia Yuanjie as well.

After reading the test papers of this exam, Xia Yuanding breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked at the content, it was still the same as the previous test, and there was not much difference.

Fifty students got the test papers, and they were all working hard to write, and the same was true for Xia Yuanding.

It's just that there is a question that is more strange, if he didn't know that it was an exam, Xia Yuanding couldn't help laughing, what kind of topic is it?

"A gentleman will do anything!"

That's right, it's this topic, if Xia Yuanding hadn't read poetry books a lot, he would have been really confused. Of course, except for him, everyone else felt that this question was normal, and there was nothing wrong with it.

A gentleman does everything, to explain that a gentleman will make every effort to achieve the highest state of perfection, what is a gentleman, a person with high morals and fairness is a gentleman!

How to achieve the way to perfection, Xia Yuanding understood the topic, so he played well, and it took a lot of effort to write.

When encountering this kind of exam question, he can write it down very smoothly, but he is stuck in the poem.

This time, Xie Zhi gave a question and asked him to write a seven-character poem, not that he gave too many restrictions, but that he didn't give it at all, which made it difficult to write.

It's just that I want to write about the spring trip to the lake, as soon as I saw this, Xia Yuanding suddenly thought of the county order falling into the water, and his thinking suddenly thought of this.

Xia Yuanding greeted in his heart that the county order did not play cards according to the rules, but he was a person who did not have a spring outing to the lake, so he had to make it up for him.

That's right, if you can't do it, you have to make it up, otherwise you're stupid, and you can't even be clever in writing!

When will the double flying swallow return?

The peach blossoms on the shore are dipped in water and boiled.

The spring rain breaks the bridge, and people don't spend it,

The boat stretched out of the willow shade.

Xia Yuanding thought in his heart, isn't it just the first seven words, he hasn't caught it yet, but unfortunately this poem was not written by himself, Xia Yuanding thought that in such a short time, he couldn't write such a good poem, it was really embarrassing for him.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xia Yuanding still started to write, on the white paper, stroke by stroke, and began to write poems, he didn't ask for anything, is it really as his grandfather said, to earn a "top ten in the county".

In Xia Yuanding's eyes, fame is a floating cloud, floating clouds naturally drift high, how can ordinary people get it, they can't force it.

After handing in the papers and leaving, Xia Yuanjie couldn't wait to ask, "Yuan Ding, how did you do in the exam?" ”

Xia Yuanding, looking at the sky, raised his head and sighed: "Alas......"

One word says all the emotions in my heart, which makes people anxious, what is this lamentation?

"Yuan Ding, are you not playing well, it's okay, I didn't answer well, it is estimated that there is no hope for grandpa to explain that he wants to take the top ten exams this time!"

After speaking, he also became depressed, and Xia Yuanding said: "Fifth brother, I'm worried that I did too well in the exam, you said that if I really got the top ten in the county, does the entire Sanhe County know my name!" ”

After saying this, Xia Yuanding left, leaving Xia Yuanjie stunned, this is him looking at Xia Yuanding's back, his mind is complicated, his eyes are surprised, this feeling is strange and indescribable, and later he learned that Xia Yuanding is not a "cheap" word can be summed up.

"Gone, grandpa won't pick you up, I won't wait for you!"

Xia Yuanding waved his hand at his cousin behind him, asking him to keep up with his footsteps.

Xia Yuanding was very ashamed, he still couldn't resist the temptation of fame and fortune, he was supposed to be a low-key person, reading books and painting every day, and he didn't hold it for a while, so he answered a little better.

Let's hurry back to the inn, Xia Jizu may be waiting for them to go back. In order to prevent his grandfather from running around, Xia Yuanding refused his grandfather's offer to pick them up, so they had to walk back by themselves.

Fortunately, the distance was not very far, and the time for half a pillar of incense was enough for them to rush back. The final examination was not held in the examination booth in the south of the city, but in the inner part of the city, where there was a place for fifty people.

The ranking of the admitted students can only wait until tomorrow, and as soon as the long case comes out, the truth will be revealed who is the head of the county case at that time, which is really exciting!
