In fact, there were not so many people in the government examination in previous years, although Suzhou is a gathering of talents, almost every family studys, but after all, the county examination admission is limited, one state and seven counties, and the total number of students who take the exam is between three or four thousand.

However, this year's situation is different, due to the trouble in many places last year, the county examination could not be held, and the two years were merged into one year, making nearly 6,000 candidates. Some time ago, the Japanese invaded Songjiang and Taizhou, causing many people to flee to Suzhou for refuge and occupy many guest rooms.

As a result, the inns in Suzhou are overcrowded, and even the horse shed firewood house has been poured out, but many students still can't be settled, and they see sleeping on the streets. Although it was March and April, the night was still a little cold, and I had to catch up with another spring rain, and before I could wait for the exam, I would fall halfway.

If you really fall ill, will your chances of admission increase? Tang Yi thought with wicked amusement.

Of course, it was just thinking about it, Tang Yi called Wang Shouyi over.

"Wang Baihu, the exam is coming, it's inconvenient for me to go to Lord Fuzun, you go and tell the prefect Wang, and say that Tang Yi is willing to help."

Wang Shouyi agreed, and hurriedly went to the prefect's yamen to report, and heard that it was someone sent by Yang Bo, Wang Chonggu did not dare to slack off, and invited Wang Shouyi in. I asked about the experience on the road, and asked about some military things, not to mention, although Wang Shouyi is wild, he has ideas and skills, and he is very satisfied.

"Okay, this officer will immediately promote you to the general and help train the elite soldiers who don't collect at night."

"Yes!" When he came, he was promoted, Wang Shouyi was overjoyed, kowtowed to the adult and thanked him, suddenly remembered Tang Yi's instructions, and hurriedly said: "Lord Qiqi, the little one is here with Tang Yi and Tang Gongzi." He asked the little one to talk to you and was willing to help with the placement of candidates. ”

Wang Chonggu was worried about this matter, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, patted his thigh, and said with a smile: "If you have a virtuous nephew, I don't have to worry!" ”

……

It turns out. Wang Chonggu is very discerning, Tang Yi first found Zhou Qinyun and asked her to temporarily close all the silk villages in the city, clean them up, and change them into clean guest rooms. A batch of furniture and bedding, as well as pots and pans, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, were also mobilized for the students to use.

Subsequently, Tang Yi invited the students to come to live in the name of Changwen Paper Shop.

A few years down. Changwen Paper Shop is no longer an ordinary stationery store, but a status symbol. Being able to have a senior member of Changwen Paper Store means that you are talented, have a noble family background, and are potential stocks worth investing in.

There is a paper shop call, and the students readily agreed, and when they went to these temporarily renovated inns, they inquired, and the three-person room only cost 100 yuan for half a month. Free meals are also available.

You can't find a price even with a lantern, and you must know that the cheapest inn in Suzhou City costs 300 Wen. I don't care about the food yet. When I walked into the room, I saw that the furniture was brand new, and the beds and bedding were loose and soft, clean and tidy. Except for the temporary partition room, the sound insulation is poor, and the others are simply impeccable.

People say that the owner of the Changwen paper shop is kind. When I saw it today, it was really extraordinary.

Other shops all point to the student exam to make a windfall, not only do they not make money, but it seems that they have to make money, which is really amazing. Interesting!

Zhou Qinyun took out a total of more than 120 shops, and on average, the front and back yards of a store were added up, accommodating almost 20 people. All of a sudden, 2,000 students had a place to live, and the crying noses on the street disappeared cleanly.

"I don't get it." Xu Wei scratched his head and asked, "You can't afford to be early, is there any benefit in helping them like this?" ”

Tang Yi said disdainfully: "Brother Wen, haven't you heard that helping others is the greatest joy? ”

Xu Wei turned his mouth to the sky, it's strange to believe you!

"Alas, Senior Brother Wen, believe it or not, this is the consciousness of being a person in Shilin, and they and I are of the same class." After Tang Yi finished speaking, he stuffed half of the bun into his mouth, got up and picked up the lantern and walked outside, at this time the sky was still a little dark, and the lanterns on the road were like fireflies, gathering into a long dragon, rushing towards the examination room.

Only Wang Shimao and Shen Lin were left to participate in the government exam with Tang Yi, and as for Wang Shaozhou's little pen friend, he was still humming on the bed at this time.

Due to overeating, he made up too much and couldn't bear it, so he poured it directly.

After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, he prescribed three doses of vomiting medicine, and after drinking it for half an hour, Wang Shaozhou vomited and vomited all the bile. This was not enough, and he prescribed another medicine for leakage, and squatted in the toilet for three days, and the child's little face collapsed, and his body was as soft as noodles. He suspected that the doctor had a grudge against him, and he didn't bring such a whole person.

In the following days, Wang Shaozhou could only lie in bed, drink gruel every day to regulate the spleen and gastrointestinal tract, so that the medicinal power accumulated in the body was clean, the doctor said well, if not properly conditioned, there is a risk of intestinal rot.

Where can Wang Shaozhou, who lost half his life, still be able to participate in the government exam, so he had to shed tears and babble: "Don't win, accompany me to take the exam next time!" ”

If Tang Yi knew that this kid cursed them, he would have to pick his skin!

……

With the long crowd, when they arrived outside the examination room, there were heavily guarded soldiers on both sides, holding torches in one hand and weapons in the other, murderous, a wartime scene, and they did not dare to slack off at all.

It is true that the Japanese invaded Songjiang not long ago, and there were still a small number of Japanese in Suzhou. If it's a little worse, the talent ceremony will be mixed up by the Japanese robbers, and the students who will take the exam will be hurt. Wang Chonggu is waiting to be drowned by Shilin's spitting stars!

In order to save his life, Wang Chonggu was extremely careful and serious.

In front of the examination room, the priest of each county carried a large lantern and waited with twenty soldiers. When I saw the students in this county, I greeted them, as if an old hen was calling a chick.

Due to the large number of people, from time to time I heard people shouting that their hats were lost, their shoes were falling off, and so on. It's like a vegetable market. Tang Yi has practiced martial arts, which is different from ordinary weak scholars.

He was like a fast-turning spinning top, easily inserted from the cracks of the people, three times and two turns, and he arrived in front of the teaching, with him leading the way, Wang Shimao and Shen Lin also rushed over.

The instructor took the roster and checked it one by one, the candidates in Taicang were not slow, and in all the states and counties, the second one was assembled, that is, the second one entered.

Like the county exam, Tang Yi took the papers, went to his place, and sat upright.

After all the candidates entered, the tall and majestic Wang Chonggu walked out, first took the big guy to worship the Holy Ancestor Master Confucius, and then said a lot of unnutritious words. After that, the exam questions began to be distributed.

There are only two government exams, and the most critical of them is the first one, and every candidate is full of energy, secretly praying that the gods and Buddhas can bless themselves.

Tang Yi is relatively calm, as the head of the county trial, he is bound to win.

It's just that there are some differences between the rankings, of course Tang Yi hopes that the higher the rankings, the better, but relying on an article to determine the high and low is more subjective and unfair than "one volume for life", and he can only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven.

While he was thinking wildly, the exam questions were sent to Tang Yi.

Unfold it and take a look, the first one comes from the Analects, which is: "Zi Wei Yan Yuan said: If you use it, you will do it, and if you give it up, you will hide it, but I am a husband with you!" ”

This is a big question, Confucius told Yan Yuan, use me to do things, give up and go into hiding, only me and you can do it.

There is not the slightest controversy, this kind of topic is all over the street, Tang Yi did it a few days ago, it seems that Wang Chonggu is much more honest than Zhang Shouzhi.

Tang Yi quickly came up with more than a dozen ways to solve the first question, he looked at the second question with a relaxed face, and Tang Yi almost screamed in shock.

I saw six words impressively listed: "Stop at benevolence and be a minister." ”

At first glance, it is so awkward, it is a truncation question, as mentioned earlier, the truncation question is ever-changing, there are many types, and it is impossible to bet on it. However, these six words made Tang Yi feel very emotional, it turned out that at the beginning of the year, when he and Xu Wei were discussing the truncation question, Xu Wei had this topic.

This sentence comes from "University", and the full text is to be a man who is a king and stop at benevolence, a minister who stops at respect, a son who stops at filial piety, a father who stops at kindness, and a relationship with the people of the country ends with faith. The meaning of this sentence is very simple, as a king, you must be kind, as a courtier you must be respectful, as a son of man you must be filial, your father must be kind, and you must be honest in your dealings with others.

What was originally a logical thing pulled Ren and Renchen together for no reason, and the difficulty skyrocketed. Tang Yi thought hard for a long time, and finally figured out the key, this "benevolence" is not the benevolence of the courtiers, but the benevolence of the kings of the courtiers.

Xu Wei said proudly: "When you write the last sentence, your whole body is in the last game, and when you write the sentence, your whole body is in the last sentence!" Obviously, with his previous experience, Tang Yi coped with it and was much more relaxed.

Two questions in a row, it's nothing to do the big questions, and even the interception questions have been done, I have to say that it's a miracle.

This is a good person has a good reward, I helped the children who took the exam, God helped me!

Thinking of this, Tang Yi held his breath and condensed, lifted the brush, and muttered for a while, and suddenly his thoughts were like a spring. Gorgeous sentences flowed from the tip of the pen.

"The saint's journey is hidden, and the capable one begins to reveal it. It is not easy to cover the saint's line of hiding, and it is not easy to rule, since Yan Zi is a few, and it can be said with it. Gu Tezhi said: Lifelong experience......"

In less than an hour, an eight-strand article was written.

Tang Yi checked it repeatedly, trying to eliminate every flaw and make the article catchy. After checking it three times, he copied it on the test paper in a regular pavilion style, and each word was the same size, and the position seemed to be printed, neatly and neatly.

The students in the examination room are all immersed in writing, Wang Chonggu constantly walks behind each candidate, looks at their articles, and when he encounters a good one, he will take a few more glances and keep it in his heart, of course, more of them are nailed to the label of "magic horse stuff".

When he casually walked behind Tang Yi, Wang Chonggu was immediately dumbfounded, and a wonderful look flashed on his face, if Tang Yi had eyes on the back of his head, he was guaranteed to fall off in shock.

Wang Chonggu cried bitterly in his heart: "Tang Yi, Tang Yi, you deceived me so hard!" (To be continued.) )
