The Zhuangyuan Building is located next to the Zhuangyuan Square in the south of the Huizhou Mansion Yasi Prison Division. The reason why there is this name is because there was a champion Tang Gao in She County during the Zhengde period. This is since the Hongwu period Huizhou Mansion out of a champion, after seventy or eighty years to fill the blank again, so after a magnificent champion square was built, there are shrewd businessmen built a champion building next to it. Such an excellent lip gloss, coupled with the excellent geographical location overlooking the Champion Fang, makes this Champion Building the most frequented place by the sergeants of Fucheng.

In previous years, although all counties in Huizhou Prefecture also had banquets for students or children to go to the examination, it was the first time that it was as grand as this year. The owner of the champion building is Hong Renwu, a native of Jixi, since he took over such a thing, he personally went to Zhang Luo, and went to add a group of cooks to spare. In order not to be a night, the Hero's Feast was a luncheon, not a dinner, and he and the cooks had been busy a few days earlier, and since the night before, they had not had time to close their eyes at all, and they were all preparing non-stop. Fortunately, the most troublesome seat problem, each county has sent someone to arrange it, so he doesn't have to worry about it, otherwise he doesn't know how much hair will fall out.

Today's attendees are not all students, those who are lucky enough to be satisfied with a fame are not qualified, and those who have been mixed in the third or fourth class of scientific examinations for many years, and are only one step away from being eliminated are not qualified, except for those who are going to go down in the autumn today, they are a few of the stars of tomorrow who are evaluated as having great potential - among them, there are young children brought by elders or brothers.

Each county is ranked in the first and second ranks, and there are thirty or forty people who can participate in the township examination, and there are more than 200 people in the six counties. And the ten tables on the third floor, the main table is the chief secretary and the top eunuch of the Huizhou Mansion and Shexian Yamen, and the second table is the state and county officials and the second-class eunuchs, and the distribution of the remaining eight tables, the six counties almost didn't break their heads. In the end, Shexian County won three tables, and the remaining five tables were two tables in Wuyuan, one table in Xiuning, one table in Qimen, and one table in Jixi and Yixian.

This is all according to the ratio of jinshi and juren in previous years, even if they are not convinced, they can only sulk secretly. As for the allocation of the second floor and the first floor, it is slightly simpler.

After 10 o'clock, there were groups of students who rushed here. Most of these early arrivals have already participated in the township examination once, twice, and three times, and they know the difficulty, and they know that they have little hope, so most of the seats are located in the lobby on the first floor. It's just that Hong Renwu, who personally greeted the guests, still smiled at everyone and was courteous for several weeks. Because there is no such thing as the imperial examination, those who take Xie Yuan once may be as unlucky as Tang Yin, and those who only pass the examination seven or eight times may also pass the Jinshi examination. On this occasion, it is better to lose the pulsatilla, not to bully the young man to be poor, and a bowl of water must be absolutely even.

As more and more people grew, the first and second floors were full of six. Especially the people who sit at the very far back, all of them are among the people who come later, looking for those who are famous.

"Look, that's Zhao Mingzhang of Yixian County, it is said that the most promising person in Yixian Jinke is him, and some people say that he can win a sub-yuan."

"That's Pan Zheng from Qimen, and the last township test was said to have stained the paper with ink droplets, so I regretted not being on the list."

"Look, that's the three Bao brothers, a family of three talents, but it's a pity that there is no one to lift!"

In the midst of such discussions, one by one Xiucai in shirts either held their heads high, or entered the champion building humbly and respectfully. Everyone already knew their seat, and after calling their friends to sit down, they followed the others to continue gossiping about the people who came after them. But so far, not to mention that none of the county eunuchs have arrived, and there are only a few people sitting on the third floor. Apparently confirming the old adage that important big people are always late. The first to come will be slandered, but many people know that they are just trying their luck this time, and they can only envy, jealousy and hate in their hearts.

"That's Cheng Kui from She County!"

"It's not just Cheng Kui, don't you look at the Wu brothers of Xixinan and Nanxinan?"

"Who are the others? Why is he so young, and he looks very raw. ”

On the second floor, there are a few students near the window, and some people come here to look down. I saw that next to the three young Junjie of She County, who everyone was very familiar with, there were a few younger ones, one of them was fifteen or sixteen, two were thirteen or fourteen, and the youngest was a boy who was eight or nine years old. Everyone looked at each other for a while, racking their brains to think about who was qualified to walk with Cheng Kui and the others, when someone suddenly exclaimed: "I know, it must be Wang Fulin from She County, and his adopted son Wang Jinbao!" ”

"That's the legendary father and son? Get out of the way and show me! ”

"It really looks like there is a difference of five or six years old, a fourteen-year-old father, and an eight-year-old son, it's really unusual!"

"Don't just talk about being strange, just this fourteen-year-old boy, how much wind and rain has been stirred? Today, even the hero's banquet has come to intervene, what a big face! ”

It is not known how many third-class officials of the government have been mobilized to maintain order around this champion building, so the students are not allowed to ride horses, cars, and sedan chairs when they come from the cross street, and they all walk. When Wang Fulin, Cheng Kui and others came, all the young and old who caught their eyes were wearing this jade (elegant light green and light green) shirt, and everyone was submerged in this sea of cyan. And when he came to the champion building, he just looked up at random, and found that the location near the window on the second floor was full of people, and some people even stretched out their fingers to point at them, and even more than ten people on the third floor were looking down condescendingly.

"Shuangmu, when the time comes, Brother Kui will go up to the third floor, we will be on the ground floor, there are many people, and I will let Brother Kui arrange the seats alone, so that it will not be a problem for you to bring Jinbao and Qiu Feng." Cheng Naixuan glanced at Qiu Feng as he spoke, and secretly muttered about Wang Fulin's indiscriminate kindness. Jinbao is okay, but Wang Fulin even changed his outfit to bring people in, what do you think?

Wang Fulin also learned that he and Cheng Naixuan were on the first floor, so under Qiu Feng's repeated pleading, he agreed to take him to the market. After all, when he was playing chess openly and secretly, Qiu Feng not only quietly went to Liu Hui to carry a letter, but also ran around with the two Cheng family members to attract the attention of others. In addition, he does his best to do things on weekdays, and his ability to recognize people has also helped him a lot, except for the occasional self-assertion and impulsive action, there is nothing to find fault with. Coupled with this little guy's longing for a reader, he responded as soon as his heart softened.

Hong Renwu, the owner of the Zhuangyuan Building, came over to say hello, and immediately led everyone into the door with a smile on his face, but there were still people behind him, so he had no choice but to confess and go out again. Cheng Kui and Wu Zhongming Wu Yingming personally led Wang Fulin to an empty table near the stairs, and Cheng Kui lowered his voice and said: "Here is a table that I specially ordered someone to set aside, your Jinbao, and you, the scholar, will not be picked on, plus with Brother Xuan, it will be easy to make the town easy, and there will be no other people to disturb it." And it's convenient to turn back and go upstairs here, and it's easy to see here when a few of our old men come in after a while. ”

Wang Fulin thanked him, and watched Cheng Kui and the three of them go upstairs, and then beckoned Cheng Naixuan to take a seat.

At this table, Cheng Naixuan was on his left, Jinbao was on his right, and Qiu Feng was sitting next to Jinbao. The latter two were both attending such an occasion for all scholars, and their faces were a little rigid. Qiu Feng was indescribably nervous, but Jinbao's eyes were dripping, and when he saw a familiar figure, his eyes lit up, and he forgot about his nervousness, and stood up and beckoned vigorously.

In previous years, there were also eight or nine-year-old students in Shexian County, but there were no prodigies who had such a breakthrough in the past two or three years, and Jinbao had attracted infinite attention when he first came, and many people looked over here at this time.

And that year, Fang Xiaoguan described the handsome young man who was looking left and right, and when he found Jinbao, he walked over quickly with a smile, and arched his hand at the stunned Wang Fulin and said, "Don't mind if I sit here?" ”
