The days were like flowing water, and a month passed in the blink of an eye, and as early as three days ago, the academy stopped teaching and asked the students to go back to prepare for the college examination.

And today, Xu Mingyuan got up early in the morning as usual, went down the mountain to carry water and filled the water tank, and practiced swords on the stone flat in front of the view. After carefully combing up, he changed into a clean half-worn green shirt, tied his long hair tightly with light blue strips of cloth, carried the bamboo box that had prepared paper, ink, pen and inkstone last night, said hello to the master, and went down the mountain.

Today is the first day of the college exam, because he was carrying a bamboo box, and he was going to start the exam when he arrived at the academy, so Xu Mingyuan went to the grass hut at the foot of the mountain to take Lao Huang and took a donkey cart to the academy today.

The old donkey cart was on the fairly flat post road, swaying slightly, accompanied by a melodious sound of creaking and creaking, slowly heading towards Shuzhou City.

Xu Mingyuan sat on the wheel, his legs hanging in the air, swaying gently with the shaking of the donkey cart, squinting his eyes slightly, as if he was asleep.

In the past month, Xu Mingyuan has already mastered the scriptures that need to be memorized, and he has written dozens of essays. As for poetry, Xu Mingyuan is really a little less talented, but with the practice of this month, it is difficult to have a hand-me-down work, but he can still write one or two poems in a decent manner.

The donkey cart slowly entered Shuzhou City, Xu Mingyuan ate a bowl of cold noodles at the roadside noodle stall, and the lady who sold noodles heard that Xu Mingyuan was going to the academy for the exam, so she refused to accept him Tongbao, and stuffed two cakes for him to eat during the exam. is similar to Liu Sanniang in Dongcheng, and there are many people in Xicheng who have watched him grow up and treat him like an elder.

Xu Mingyuan smiled and accepted the cake, took advantage of the fact that the eldest lady turned around, put a few tongbao on the back of the stove, got into the donkey cart, and went straight to Nancheng Academy.

Xu Mingyuan can be said to have grown up eating 100 meals in Shuzhou City, Shuzhou City is the root, and it is a place where he has to come back every time he travels. He doesn't have much dream in this life, if it was before, he would like to take a sword to the rivers and lakes, the first in the world dare not think, he can do chivalrous righteousness a few times, and he can also brag about half a life when he returns to Shuzhou City.

Now, if you can take the imperial examination, you can go to Chang'an, the first male city in the world, to take a look, and then mix a sesame petty official, and be greedy for small profits by the way, and when you are old in the future, you will be like a master, and return to Shuzhou City, not necessarily to teach, but also to tell books.

I have walked through so many places, seen the waves of the east coast, seen the vast and boundless Beili grassland, and seen the uninhabited desert of Tubo, but I still feel that the small city of Shuzhou is the most difficult to give up, and the people in Shuzhou are the most lovely.

Therefore, Xu Mingyuan also thought that if one day he was really old, it would be good to return to Shuzhou.

The donkey cart walked through the streets and alleys and swayed to the front of the academy, because Xu Mingyuan got up early, so although Lao Huang walked slowly, it was not yet time to reach the front of the academy.

Not all college students can take the college examination, only students who have been enrolled for more than three years, or who have outstanding academic performance, can take the college examination.

Therefore, only more than 100 students can participate in the college entrance examination today, and other college students who did not participate in the college examination cannot stay in the college during the two days of the examination, because the college is the venue for the college examination.

Dawan has a history of 300 years, mainly to the Ming Jing and Jinshi two subjects as the main subjects, as for the other subjects although set, but not valued, even after the examination, there is no great future.

Moreover, after the current saint ascended the throne, he paid special attention to the Jinshi department, and several prime ministers of the dynasty were all born in Jinshi, and most of the senior members of the court were Jinshi and first. Therefore, even if the Jinshi and the first are not reused, they are also white-clothed, that is, although they are white-clothed, they have the prestige of the minister, which shows the importance of the imperial examination.

What Xu Mingyuan is preparing is Jinshike, as long as he can pass the rank, he can basically get an official and a half position, which can be regarded as officially stepping into the Dawan officialdom. It's just that although the Jinshi subject is heavy, it is the most difficult to test, known as the thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi said, thousands of scholars enter the Chang'an imperial examination, but only dozens of people can enter the Shi and the first, which shows the fierce competition.

The imperial court attached so much importance to the imperial examination, and naturally attached great importance to the examinations at all stages of the imperial examination, and in order to prevent students from cheating, it also formulated a lot of countermeasures.

At this time, there was a row of ten people dressed in black round-necked shirts, with a pitch-black wide knife hanging from their waists, blocking the entrance of the academy and preventing the students of the academy from entering.

These traps are the first hurdles to check whether the things that sentient beings carry with them are forbidden or whether they carry book pages. Although these catchers have long knives hanging from their waists, they are the lowest in the yamen, and even the slightly powerful businessmen will not take them to heart. Therefore, standing in front of the gate of this academy, there are all the people in front of him, or who may become the officials of the court and the central government in the future, but he is a little restrained.

Before the time came, all the beings could not enter the academy, so at this time, they all stood on the stone lawn in front of the academy, some in a pile of threes and twos, talking with friends, some holding books alone and meditating, planning to hold the Buddha's feet again, and some were standing silently aside, closing their eyes and resting.

Xu Mingyuan's donkey cart swayed slowly to the front of the academy, and the creaking sound and the dilapidated carriage that was much larger than the ordinary donkey cart immediately attracted the attention of the students in front of the academy.

Those students who were talking in pairs turned their heads to look at the donkey cart, and the students who closed their eyes and rested couldn't help but open their eyes, and even the students who were holding books and bowing their heads to read silently also raised their heads and looked at the past in a bit of a daze.

Among the students of the academy, there are many scholars from good families, even scholars from poor backgrounds, and they will not come to the academy in such a dilapidated donkey cart.

So at this time, Xu Mingyuan was wearing a half-worn green shirt, and came in such a broken donkey cart pulled by a thin donkey, and made such a ridiculous creaking sound, as if it would fall apart at any time, and the eyes of all beings couldn't help but show contempt.

Some of the students even talked softly with their friends, and their words were full of jokes, and the atmosphere in front of the academy became a little strange for a while.

Xu Mingyuan entered the academy for a month, and to this day, many people still look at him unpleasantly. Wang Ziqi didn't say it, it was basically a dead knot that could not be solved.

As for the other students, they still don't look down on Xu Mingyuan's identity, and they can't get used to seeing him go against the trend and win the first debate after he entered the academy.

Since ancient times, literati have been light, if Xu Mingyuan has a family background like Baimolou, I am afraid that no one will dare to say anything at this time.

But in the eyes of all students, Xu Mingyuan is just a poor Taoist priest, why can he take the college examination after entering the academy for a month. They felt that they had studied hard for ten years before they had the opportunity to take today's college examination, and Xu Mingyuan was able to enter the college and participate in the college examination just by virtue of the relationship with the dean, which was undoubtedly unacceptable to them.

And today, Xu Mingyuan came in a dilapidated donkey cart, and the dissatisfied beings naturally looked at each other coldly, and in the crowd, Xie Hong mocked: "Even if you come, you can't escape the name of Sun Mountain." ”

"It's been in vain that the dean's hard work is in vain, and then it's time to die of that little toad idea." That Qian Qingfu also spoke out in response.

These two people lost face because of Xu Mingyuan in Zuixiao Tower before, and later became a laughing stock in the circle of sons in Shuzhou City, and their jealousy and hatred for Xu Mingyuan were naturally not shallow.

The atmosphere at the gate of the academy changed suddenly, and the young catcher standing in front of the academy couldn't help but be stunned, and glanced at Xu Mingyuan, one of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old young catchers held the long knife in his hand, and planned to step forward to drive away this shabby-dressed young man who was riding such a broken donkey cart.

But as soon as he stepped out, a man in his thirties standing next to him, burly, who should be the head of the class, kicked him in the leg, pointed at Xu Mingyuan and said softly: "What are you kid going to do, he is a serious academy student, and besides, your aunt loves this baby, if you let her know what you want to do, I can't protect you." ”

"Guo Tou, it's not like I didn't do anything, don't tell your aunt. It's okay to be scolded by her, if she doesn't make me cold noodles, then I won't be able to live this day. The young man's face changed, and he hurriedly stood back in place with a bitter face, and looked at Xu Mingyuan with some puzzlement and said softly: "Head, didn't you say that the students of the academy are all the reincarnations of Wenqu Xing in the sky, how can you and your aunt still know this Wenqu Xing?" ”

"You kid can't be illiterate, you know a fart! Mingyuan, this kid has a good heart and a wide range of knowledge, not to mention his talents, if you want me to see, every student in this academy can compare to him, and he will definitely be on the list in this college exam. Even my girl taught him a lot of words, and now teaches me to write my name every day. The catcher glanced at the young catcher, looking at Xu Mingyuan, his eyes were full of relief and pride.

"There are all Wenqu stars in the academy, is this guy so powerful?" The young catcher obviously didn't believe in the words of the catcher, but immediately changed his face again, looked at the catcher with some flattery and said: "Head, or you will also let Sister Cailing teach me to write my own name, I am the three words Wang Dayong, and I know how to write the big character in the middle, and the other two will not know it." ”

"Don't you look down on others, why do you still want to learn how to write from the disciples taught by others." The head catcher shook his head, looked at Xu Mingyuan and said with some emotion: "I originally thought that your kid was still loyal and honest, and if Cai Ling agreed in the future, it would be a good thing." But that girl decided that Mingyuan was a kid, and he didn't want to marry. Mingyuan is now a fish in the pond, but when he enters the academy, he will have to jump into the dragon gate sooner or later, where is the girl chasing after him. ”

"Isn't this kid just a little whiter, a little better-looking, that little arm and thin leg, I can lift him to the ground with one hand." The young man listened to this, and said in a slightly sour tone.

The head catcher shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't be unconvinced, with your three-style knife technique, Mingyuan can fight ten of them." ”

Hearing this, the young man was completely stunned, grabbing the long knife hanging from his waist, looking at Xu Mingyuan with a tangled expression, probably thinking about whether to let Xu Mingyuan come out and fight him.

On the other side, Xu Mingyuan gently tugged on the reins, and the donkey cart stopped. He saw the performance of Zhusheng in his eyes, and the words of Xie Hong and Qian Qingfu also fell in his ears, and he was even more clear about what Zhusheng thought in his heart.

Looking at those beings who stood with their hands in their hands and looked unabashedly contemptuous, Xu Mingyuan shook his head with a smile, and just wanted to ask in his heart:

"Who has traveled thousands of miles? How many people can complete the road I have walked in this life? ”

"Who hasn't had a cold window for ten years? How many of the books I have read have been able to read in this lifetime? ”――
