*********************************

When returning to Meizhou, the boat became a boat upstream, although comfortable, but it took a long time, so Xu Gang and the two chose to return on horseback and ran non-stop for three days.

After arriving in Meizhou, Daoyuan did not enter the city with Xu Gang, but went back directly to the Military Office, and now he took over Ziyi's affairs and was fully responsible for the contact between the army, which took seven days and a lot of things to deal with.

When Xu Gang pushed open the door of the rented house, the moon had already risen overhead, and there was no light in the courtyard, so he came to the outside of the hall by the moonlight.

"Squeak~~~"

They're all asleep! Xu Gang looked at Liu Ziyi's room, and when he saw that the door was closed, he went back to his room to rest.

"Knock Knock~~~"

Early the next morning, Xu Gang's door rang, and then Liu Ziyi's silver bell-like voice came: "Brother Xu, are you back?" ”

"Hmm~~ I'm back!" Xu Gang slowly opened his eyes and answered.

"Breakfast is ready, Brother Xu, get up and eat quickly!" After hearing Xu Gang's response, Liu Ziyi was very happy, and it could be heard from her voice!

"Lazy pig, hurry up!" As soon as Liu Ziyi's words fell, Wu Ling'er's shout came, although she was urging him, she could also feel that she was also very happy.

"Okay, right away!" It's a blessing to have such a red face! The corners of Xu Gang's mouth pulled up a smile, and he suddenly turned over and got out of bed, and replied while getting dressed.

"Brother Xu, has your Dan been refined?" At the dining table, Xu Gang feasted and quickly finished eating, as soon as he put down the bowl, Wu Ling'er asked him about alchemy, and Liu Ziyi also sat aside and strengthened his ears.

"Well, on the day we just arrived, we happened to meet the master out of the customs, so he helped me refine the Dan by the way." Xu Gang smiled, and then briefly told the second daughter what had happened in the past few days

"Giggles, Dao Yuan must be depressed, you suddenly became his uncle and ancestor!" Wu Ling'er smiled and showed two beautiful little tiger teeth, why didn't she find it before!

Liu Ziyi also covered his mouth and chuckled lightly.

"Ling'er, how is the dissolution of your marriage contract with Qiu Tianbao going?" Xu Gang also asked about Wu Ling'er.

Wu Ling'er stopped laughing when she heard this, looked at Xu Gang, and shook her head.

"What's wrong? Did Qiu Tianbao repent? Xu Gang hurriedly asked.

"No, he said that his father and mother asked him to put everything on the go, and everything will be said after the autumn test!" After Wu Ling'er finished speaking, her expression was a little helpless.

"Ling'er, there are still a few days to pay tribute, this is really important for a student, just wait!" Xu Gang nodded and persuaded.

After breakfast, Xu Gang went to the school with Liu Ziyi.

"Brother Zhengyuan, you're finally back!" As soon as he entered the lecture hall, Su Shi's voice came, and Qiu Tianbao, who was at the table in front of Xu Gang, also turned his head to look at Xu Gang and smiled slightly.

Xu Gang also smiled at Qiu Tianbao, nodded, and walked towards Su Shi.

"Brother Zhengyuan, I heard that Mr. said that you are going to participate in these autumn exams, are you ready?" Su Shi faced Xu Gang's chest and gently gave him a palm.

"Uh~~" Xu Gang touched the chest that had just been hit by him, and pretended to lean back, making Su Shi laugh.

"Brother Zhengyuan, you must come back with a Xie Yuan!" At this time, Su Zhe, Cheng Xiaoliu and others all came to Xu Gang's side to cheer him on.

What do you think of the spirit? One day Lao Tzu will make you look good, huh! Hu Yunyang, who was sitting not far away, pursed his mouth, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"Zizhan, Ziyou, Xiaoliu, thank you for your encouragement, I will definitely work hard! By the way, how are you preparing? Xu Gang looked around at everyone and gave a salute with his fists.

"Hey~~~" Su Shi was a little disappointed in his eyes, and said slowly: "Don't hide it from Brother Zhengyuan, my father will not allow our brother to participate in this imperial examination." ”

"Why?" Xu Gang was a little surprised, in his opinion, although the Su Shi brothers are young, their writing is quite good, and they can take a solution test, which is a matter of being caught!

"My father said that taking the imperial examination to gain fame is really not the purpose of studying and studying, and with our brother's shallow knowledge, it is not enough to gain fame." Su Shi sighed secretly and told Xu Gang what his father meant, and after he finished speaking, the loss in his eyes quickly disappeared.

At this time, Su Zhe also added: "Daddy asked us to finish reading the books in the study and then talk about participating in the imperial examination." ”

Xu Gang nodded slightly, remembering that when he first went to Su Shi's brother's house, their father had said this.

"I'm with Zizhan and Ziyou!" Seeing Xu Gang looking at him, Cheng Xiaoliu said with a brotherly expression.

Seeing Zizhan, Ziyou and Zhengyuan staring at him at the same time, Cheng Xiaoliu shrunk his neck and explained the real reason: "Actually, my father doesn't agree with me to participate in the imperial examination this year!" ”

It didn't take long for Master Liu to arrive, and everyone returned to their seats and sat down, and soon fell silent.

Liu Fuzi looked at Xu Gang, nodded slightly at him, and started today's lesson.

"Zhengyuan, Ziyi, you two come with the old man!" As soon as the morning class ended, Liu Fuzi called Xu Gang and Liu Ziyi to the backyard for dinner.

After eating, Liu Fuzi and Xu Gang came to the backyard garden alone for a walk, and Liu Zifu said as he walked: "Zhengyuan, have you done your business?" ”

"Mr. Hui's words are all done, thank you for your concern!" Xu Gang bowed respectfully.

"Well, that's good!" Liu Fuzi paused slightly, nodded, stroked his beard and said: "There are still a few days to take the exam, the Jinshi examination, the main content is to test one poem, one poem, one treatise, five strategies, ten posts of "Analects", and ten articles of Moyi for "Spring and Autumn" or "Book of Rites". ”

After that, Master Liu stopped, turned to look at Xu Gang and continued: "The scriptures, Moyi, and current affairs are all on the back, so the teacher is not worried that you will not be able to pass the exam at all, but poetry and fu need some real talents." ”

When Xu Gang heard this, he nodded, he knew very well that his current level of poetry was not high enough, and none of the poems he made were particularly outstanding!

"So, you have to work more poetry, and you have to remember that your ultimate goal is to be the champion!" Liu Fuzi continued to walk around, and said lightly: "You can discuss poetry and songs with Zizhan and Ziyou!" However, you have to remember that when you take the poem test, you must write it according to the rhyme book, and you can't rhyme, otherwise no matter how good the article is, it will be zero points! ”

"Students remember!" Since Xu Gang came to the school, he has often studied poetry and poetry with Zizhan and Ziyou, although he thinks that his level is not high enough, but it is not bad!

In just a few days, it will pass in a flash, and tomorrow morning, Xu Gang will go to Meizhou Gongyuan to participate in the autumn test!

"Zhengyuan, do you have confidence?" General Shi Yinglong sat opposite Xu Gang, his fingers tapping lightly and rhythmically on the tabletop, making a clanging sound.

"General, please have tea!" Liu Ziyi took two bowls of freshly boiled tea, entered the hall, put them in front of Xu Gang and Shi Yinglong respectively, and then added some lamp oil to the oil lamp, and then withdrew.

"General, I still have a little confidence, but you always ask me to take the Xie Yuan exam and come back, I don't have much confidence!" Xu Gang held the teacup in both hands, looked at Shi Yinglong, and pretended to be aggrieved.

"Hmph, don't be poor, you kid, you have to remember that your ultimate goal is to be the top candidate! In such a small place as Meizhou, if you can't even get a solution yuan, why should you go to the capital to take the top prize? Shi Yinglong's eyes were round, and after finishing speaking, he took a sip of tea, he wanted to take a big sip, but unfortunately it was too hot!

It's hard to be a general, in order to cheer up Xu Gang, he specially rushed back from the fierce ghost ditch, ran away from the dead horse, and finally entered the city this evening, otherwise it will be dark and the city gate will be closed, and he can only enter the city with privileges.

Uh~~ I never said that I wanted to take the top prize, these are all imposed on me by you! Hey~~~ Xu Gang sighed secretly, and his originally helpless look instantly became firm: "General, my subordinates will definitely do their best to seize Xie Yuan!" ”

"That's pretty much it!" Shi Yinglong saw that his eyes were attentive and his tone was firm, so he nodded with satisfaction.

Xu Gang was secretly happy: Hehe, it's still Ziyi's intimacy! Tell me early that the general's decision, don't fight, and show your determination in time, otherwise he will be endless! As long as it's not on the battlefield, the general won't do anything to himself!

"Okay, the old man is gone, don't bother you, Old Man Liu is still waiting for me to drink, you go to bed early and take care of your spirits!" With that, Shi Yinglong drank all the tea in the cup, got up and walked out of the hall, jumped up, and disappeared into the darkness.

"The general is too, such a big person, if you don't leave the door, you have to jump up and down!" Xu Gang originally planned to send Shi Yinglong, but who knew that he would flash in three or two clicks.

"Poof~~~ Brother Xu, you are so bold, dare to say this about the general behind your back! Cluck! Liu Ziyi walked in from the door and smiled.

"He doesn't know that I said him, unless Ziyi you sue me for being black, but I know that Ziyi is the most well-behaved, of course I won't say it, right!" Xu Gang pursed his mouth, then pulled up Liu Ziyi's hands and said tenderly.

"Brother Xu, the light in Ling'er's sister's room is still on, she saw it for a while, how embarrassed!" Liu Ziyi secretly glanced at Wu Ling'er's room in the West Chamber, and saw that there was still a light in her room, she panicked inexplicably, and quickly broke free of her hand, then put away the teacup, and walked to the kitchen as if she were fleeing, leaving a sentence: "Brother Xu, go and rest, there will be an exam tomorrow!" ”

What are you afraid of, this girl! Xu Gang looked at the palm of Liu Ziyi's remaining warmth, smiled sweetly, and went back to the room.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Xu Gang turned his head and glanced at the Kaolan in the hall, which was carefully prepared for him by Wu Ling'er and Liu Ziyi's two daughters for two days, which contained the flax cakes made by Wu Ling'er for him, the persimmon cakes made by Ziyi for him, and other food, as well as pens, ink, inkstones, etc.

Xu Gang smiled knowingly, thinking that he would enter the house by name before dawn tomorrow, so he went back to the house to sleep.
