Although "The Story of Stones" became popular, Xie Shen's goal has not changed. The focus of the pen www.biquge.info the court was still on the imperial examination, and after returning to the academy, he followed the instructions of the previous Confucian edict to repetitively strengthen his memory.

If the content of the four books cannot be corresponded to the notes of Zhu Ziji, no matter how good the article is, it will not be favored by the examiner. Although Xie Shen's image in the hearts of Wu County Ling and Confucian Sectarians is very good now, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Xie Shen still has to gnaw this hard bone.

The days of reading are dull, and it will inevitably be a little boring after a long time. But fortunately, Xie Shen has Shui Yun, a red-sleeved beauty, and the days of rest can be regarded as a spice.

Summer goes to autumn, autumn goes to winter solstice.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Shen has been in the second year of coming to the Ming Dynasty.

The spring breeze in February is steep, and Xie Shen, who was sitting by the attic window, looked at the red dust and purple Mo stupidly.

After nearly a year of preparation, Xie Shen's understanding of Confucian scriptures has made great progress. Coupled with the notes and notes given by Wang Shouren, Xie Shen has infinite expectations for tomorrow's county test students.

This is the first step in the long road to the imperial examination, and Xie Shen must go well.

Someone needs to guarantee the registration of the county examination, which is also a major feature of the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty. Specifically, five students need to guarantee each other, and there are many candidates in Sanwei Academy who participate in the county examination, in addition to Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi, Xie Shen found two other students who are relatively good friends to protect each other.

In addition, it is also necessary for a student from the county school in the county to come forward to vouch, Xie Shen originally wanted to ask Wang Shouren to be a guarantor, but this year is the sixth year of Hongzhi, which happens to be the year of Dabi. Wang Shouren passed the township examination in the autumn of last year, and he was already preparing for the examination in Beijing at the moment, so naturally he could not guarantee Xie Shen.

In the end, Xie Pi found a student from the county school to protect Xie Shen.

After the guarantee is settled, all that remains is to wait for the county hall to determine the eligibility for the exam.

Yuyao is a strong county in the imperial examination, and there are many candidates, which need to be selected to a certain extent. Students with unclear family backgrounds will be eliminated without hesitation. As for those students who are still mourning, they are naturally not eligible to take the exam.

Xie Shen had conducted in-depth research on the imperial examination in his previous life, but when he experienced it himself, he was still shocked by the momentum.

There are as many as 800 Yuyao students for reference. That's 800 people!

You must know that the county examination, as the most basic first-level examination, is not like the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination, which are held every three years. That is to say, every year, nearly 1,000 scholars wrestle with each other, and they are red in the county exam.

The number of people admitted to the county examination ranges from dozens to 100, and the number of admissions in a county like Yuyao is about 80. In other words, the admission rate of the small first-level county test is only one-tenth.

The county examination is mostly held on February 15, and the examination room is a temporary examination booth set up in the county school.

Wu County Ling is a person who cherishes students, so he ordered the county government to allocate special funds to purchase thickened grass sheds to prevent candidates from suffering from wind and rain. Xie Shen went to the county school in advance for the purpose of stepping on the point, and when he saw the simple house separated by a brick wall, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

This is the atmospheric examination shed in the mouths of all students? Xie Shen, who was accustomed to the elegant environment of Sanwei Academy, couldn't accept it.

Fortunately, the county examination only lasted for two days, and it was divided into five sessions.

In fact, the county test has a lot of freedom, because the examiner is the county magistrate himself, his personal preferences will directly affect the purpose of the test room.

For example, Wu County Ling likes to compose poems, so the examination school for the last interview in Yuyao County is set as a test poem, and the topic is naturally from Wu County Ling.

Due to the large degree of freedom in the county test, it is easy to have many temporary emergencies. For example, in the first examination of Shiwen, the county magistrate liked a student's article very much, and it is likely that he will be the head of the case, and the next few exams will be equivalent to going through the motions. As long as the results of the remaining exams of the students who have been determined by the county order are not outrageously bad, they will definitely be the first of the county exams.

Xie Shen carefully prepared for this first current language exam. The long preparation cycle made him feel a little tired, so he decided to go out and have a good meal with Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi before the exam to relax.

Xie Shen went down to the attic and found that the Wang family's carriage had stopped at the door of the bamboo building.

Seeing that the two of them looked grim, Xie Shen was quite emotional.

"I've been preparing for so long, it's time to look at this exam."

Wang Shouwen sighed. In comparison, he is the worst of the three, and if he can't pass the county exam, there is no point in talking about the next things.

The Wang family is a scholarly family, and if Wang Shouwen County can't pass the test, it will be humiliating. Especially with the example of Wang Shouren in front, Wang Shouwen will be ruthlessly compared.

Xie Shen patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't be too nervous. It shouldn't be a problem for you to have a solid foundation to cope with the county exam. ”

The three of them got into the carriage one by one, but when they heard a crisp whip, the carriage slowly moved.

Pulling the curtain and looking at the bustling street market, Xie Shen felt a sigh of what year it was.

Wang Shouwen had already booked a seat in Mochizuki Residence, and when the carriage stopped, several small servants accompanied him with a smile on his face.

Xie Shen frowned when he saw the darkness in the lobby and said, "Why did you choose such a noisy place?" ”

Wang Shouwen explained repeatedly: "The seat has already been booked in the private room on the second floor, don't you feel at ease when I do something?" ”

Xie Shen smiled bitterly: "That's fine." ”

The three of them went upstairs in turn and sat down at the private seat near the window, and the little girl asked with a smile: "Do you want to participate in tomorrow's county exam?" The small shop has the Jinbang porridge boiled by the chef, and you can drink it to high school. ”

Xie Shen rolled his eyes and said: "There are only a few dozen people on the list in the county test, if hundreds of people drink your porridge, will you make up for the remaining places?" ”

Wang Shouwen waved his hand and said: "Brother Shenxian, it's just to ask for a lottery, and he is not wrong." Anyway, I'll pay for it, so let's do it, you can bring me three bowls! ”

Wang Shouwen didn't ask the price and immediately ordered three bowls of Jinbang porridge, which is really heroic!

The little guy couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and retreated in response.

Xie Shen cursed: "I don't know how much silver they want to earn, what is the difference between this and robbing?" ”

The waiting time for the food was a bit long, and Xie Shen glanced at it casually but saw that the person in the adjacent banquet was very familiar.

That person was dressed in a beautiful costume and surrounded by a group of students in the middle, just like the head of the Xinke County trial.

Xie Shen fixed his eyes and saw that person who was not the eldest young master of the Candle Lake Sun Clan, Sun Ruoxu!

But I heard one person boasting: "Sun Gongzi's knowledge is the second in Yuyao City, and no one dares to say the first." The head of the county test must be Sun Gongzi. ”

Another person continued: "Yes, Sun Gongzi comes from a famous family, and he should inherit the ancestral business and run the family with the fragrance of books." ”

"I heard that Confucius has accepted a new student named Xie Shen, who is very talented, I wonder if it will pose a threat to Sun Gongzi?"

"Xie Shen? I haven't heard of it, it should be a broken and humble family, such a person can also be the head of the county trial? ”
