Wu Jie didn't know what happened to the Tang family, and he didn't have the heart to care about it.

After a delay of two days in Xinjin County, after cleaning up, he took a sedan chair with the moth and headed towards Chengdu. Originally, Wu Jie wanted to take a boat to pass, but in these years, there are no cars and trains, whether it is comfort or speed, taking a boat is the first choice for passengers.

It's a pity that Mozi said that Wu Jie's body is still very weak and can't blow the wind, so he can't help it, so he can only stay in the sedan chair honestly. Fortunately, Chengdu is only 30 kilometers away from Xinjin, so it will not be impatient.

The health of several porters was surprisingly good, and they carried Wu Jie for twenty miles in one breath, without the slightest respite, but they turned him a little dizzy.

The weather started to heat up, and everyone changed into single clothes. But Wu Jie's body was still covered with a thin quilt by moths, covering him with sweat.

didn't want to talk to the moth on this, Wu Jie could only accept his fate. Lying on the sedan chair, his mind had already flown to the house test.

The government test is the second level of the boys' test, and the number and content of the county test are basically the same.

In fact, a few days ago, the Chengdu government had already posted a notice announcing the date and number of exams. It's still three, and the exam is completed in three days. At the end of the exam, the list will be announced three days later.

These three sessions are one essay, one trial poem and one strategy.

On the first day of the exam, write an essay, which is an eight-strand essay. This is Wu Jie's strength, but I am not afraid.

The next day is a test poem, anyway, the test questions are in hand, just copy it.

The only difference with the county exam is that there is one more policy discussion, and according to the rules, it takes two days. However, this year, the prefect of Chengdu was busy with government affairs, and he didn't have time to spend too much time on the government examination, so it was compressed into one day.

Speaking of which, these three exams are not difficult for Wu Jie at all. Anyway, with the test questions in hand, I memorized Fan Wen half a month earlier, so I thought it was a life experience.

The prefect of Chengdu was impatient, and Wu Jie was even more impatient. Compared with the county exam, the prefectural exam is much more formal, not to mention the formal examination room, candidates are not allowed to bring any items into the venue, and they have to search their bodies before entering. After the exam, I was not allowed to leave the venue, and I had to sleep in the examination room that night, and I could not go home until the end of the examination period.

To stay in the examination room for three days is simply inhuman torture, do not candidates enter the examination room, but also have to review the questions, write drafts, answer questions, and then check, although the three days are long, but also fulfilling. Poor Wu Jie only needs to copy the pre-memorized model text, and it won't take long at all. Is it possible that you will have to be in a daze in the exam room next?

Fortunately, the prefectural examination is the same as the county examination, the examiner can mark the paper on the spot, as long as the examiner reads your essay and is pleasing to the eye, you can be admitted on the spot, and you don't have to suffer for three whole days in the examination room with nothing to do.

Therefore, Wu Jie decided to pass the surname once. There is no need to hide it, so he copied a famous work with the surname Suo, and then waved his sleeves and left with the honor of the head of the case.

As for the next two trial poems and strategies, to hell with them!

In fact, the topic of the first eight-strand essay is very simple, and there are at least ten sample essays to choose from in the materials in your hands. There are also several famous works by celebrities. The one that could be selected went up made him a little difficult.

It is precisely because the two levels of the county test and the government test in the children's examination are really informal, and it has a great relationship with the personal taste of the examiner. By the way, the main examiner's appetite, everything is easy to say. Otherwise, no matter how well you write, you won't take anything.

If the prefect is a high-flying, elegant and elegant character, you just copy an old and heavy eight-strand to go up; Or, the prefect is a steady gentleman who likes thick and mellow words, and you just write the article in a colorful way, but the result is just the opposite of what you expected.

Just like Fan Jin in the famous novel "The Biography of Confucianism" in later generations, Fan Jin should be an honest and honest character, and the things he writes are old and dull. After a lifetime of exams, I can't get into life or death. But later, because of the appetite for the main exam, he finally became famous, and finally became crazy by the great joy.

Wu Jie didn't know anything about the name of the Chengdu prefect and what kind of writing he liked. It is precisely because the government test is successful because of the person that you can't mess around with your feelings. It is still necessary to touch the bottom of the prefect in advance.

Fortunately, Wu Jie Tongwen Tongzhi met at the Tang Family Poetry Conference, and this time he was about to visit Chengdu, first, to ask him as a guarantee, and secondly, to find out about the prefect's personality and surname, so as to prescribe the right medicine.

The sedan chair traveled on the road for a while, and the footmen had a good footpath, and finally closed the city gate and advanced to the city after dark.

I was too tired along the way, and I couldn't care about anything else, so I found a clean inn near the Nanmenfu River Bridge and rested, and slept beautifully for one night.

When he woke up the next day, Wu Jie asked the store to buy a gift, wrote a letter of worship, went to the yamen to ask Wen Tongzhi's address, and went to visit.

In modern society, Wu Jie also came to Chengdu once. Speaking of which, it was still a matter of college, and one of my roommates in the same dormitory was from Chengdu, and during the summer vacation of his sophomore year, he was invited to travel once.

That guy seems to live in Hongzhaobi next to Renmin South Road, and it just so happens that Wen Tongzhi's family is also here.

Different from the high-rise buildings in later generations, there are continuous green tile courtyards in front of you, only the Sichuan political envoy in the north, the Chengdu prefect's yamen and a prince's palace are crowded together, which looks majestic and majestic, and the location is just located in the position of the provincial exhibition official in the modern society. It's just that the tall statue of the old man Mao reaching forward was replaced by a city building.

After looking at the old Chengdu style for a long time, Wu Jie went to call the door.

Wen Tongzhi doesn't seem to be a wealthy person, as the second-in-command of the Chengdu administration, he lives in an ordinary two-entry house, and the house looks very dilapidated.

"It turned out to be the famous Wu Festival Wu Caizi in Shu, and now the Qinglou Chu Pavilion all over the city is singing your poems! My lord has been talking to you for the past few days, saying that he can't meet you. Today, Wu Caizi, you actually came to the door in person, and he didn't know what joy he was like when he knew about it. What came out of the door was a door in his early forties, who took the film handed over by Wu Jie, took a look, and was very polite. So he led him into the living room, looked at the tea, said, "Wait a minute," and went into the backyard.

Wu Jie was proud in his heart, and sat leisurely in the living room drinking tea.

But he couldn't wait for a moment, but the man came over, threw the prayer post on the coffee table in front of Wu Jie with a very bad attitude, and said coldly: "Lord Tongzhi is busy, let's wait." ”

Wu Jie was shocked when he heard this, according to what this disciple said before, a poem he made at the poetry meeting had shaken the whole of Chengdu, and Wen Tongzhi also admired him very much. But why did this attitude change in a blink of an eye?
