The so-called children's examination is actually the entrance examination of the state capital and county school, the Ming Dynasty stipulates that non-schools are not allowed to take the imperial examination, and only after being admitted to Xiucai can they enter the official school and obtain the qualification to participate in the township examination.

Of course, don't think that the entrance exam can be taken lightly, in fact, most people will not be able to get the fame of talent in their lifetime.

The county exam has to be registered in the ceremonial room one month in advance, which cannot be replaced, Tang Yanei can only sign up with his dog legs - Wang Shimao, the second son of the king, Wang Shaozhou, the little fat dun, Shen Lin, the scholar, and a member of the Wang family, as well as a county student.

Because when registering, a five-person joint guarantee must be adopted, and a gifted student must be added as a guarantee, and the content of the guarantee is that the candidate's net worth is innocent, that is, the children and grandchildren of prostitutes, excellent students, subordinates, and deaths are not allowed to take the exam; No impersonation, that is, people who are not from the county are not allowed to pretend to take the exam; No substitute gun, that is, no one shall be asked to take the test on your behalf; Fourth, it is not allowed to hide the funeral, that is, the parents' mourning clothes are not yet full, and they are not allowed to take the exam.

Once the audit finds that the candidate has problems such as these and violates the examination discipline in the examination room, all of them are guaranteed to ask, that is to say, if one person has a problem, the five unlucky eggs will have to sit together.

If you don't know the root and trust each other, most of them won't take risks, so every year there are people who can't find a guarantor and can't take the exam, of course, with the status of the Tang family and the Wang family, there will definitely be no such embarrassing situation.

After they finished breakfast, they rushed to sign up, and it turned out that they were still late, and there was a large group of people in front of them, three in a gang of five.

Shen Lin said in a low voice: "Young Master, do you want to dredge up with the people inside and let us go in first?" ”

"Stupid!" Tang Yi glared at him, "Shen Lin, you remembered it for me, from today onwards." We're just in the system, you know? ”

"I don't understand." Shen Lin shook his head in a daze.

"To put it simply, in the past, we could not follow the rules, and no one could say anything about us, but in the future, we must abide by the rules, at least on the surface. You can't let others find fault, you know? ”

"Oh!" Shen Lin nodded silently, even Wang Shimao agreed, when his father went north, he had already told him that no matter what he did in the future, he would follow Tang Yi to ensure that there was no loss.

However, Wang Ergongzi didn't know that he suffered a loss on the first day of studying Tang Yi. Many people who have connections have already entered the county government through the back door and have already registered their names.

They waited stupidly in the spring breeze, standing with sore backs and legs, until it was close to noon, when it was their turn.

Walking inside, a few people who had just finished signing up came out. At the front was a gray-haired, wrinkled old fellow who looked to be at least sixty or seventy years old.

Tang Yi glanced at him. I only thought I was sending my grandson to sign up, and now I know that this person actually signed up for himself. Tang Yi really wanted to go up and persuade him: Uncle, you should retire, it is more suitable for you to find a place to dance a small apple. But he didn't have the guts yet, for fear that the old man would faint in anger.

The two sides passed by, and before they had taken two steps, a gust of wind suddenly came. The old man's turban fell to the ground, revealing his mottled scalp. The old man came with him and said casually: "Uncle Hong, your turban ...... falling."

"Shut up!"

As if he had stepped on his tail, the old man jumped up and scolded: "Bastard lamb." Don't say those two words, but say the first, and the first! Got it? ”

The old man scolded so much that the stars flew all over the sky, and many ugly words popped out, and another young man couldn't stand it, so he picked up his turban and brought it to the old man.

"You say a few words, Dai has got acquainted, I promise not to ......" The young man thought of the old man's hideous expression just now, and swallowed back the word landing in fright, and said casually: "I promise that it won't." ”

After three seconds of silence, the old man jumped up violently and slapped him.

"If the old man can't win this time, it's all your stinky mouth."

"Alas, you can't be unreasonable, you don't let it land, I'm talking about the first, yes!" The young man argued loudly.

The old man's face was blue, and he took off the soles of his shoes and chased after him.

"Let you say, you dare to say it!"

……

Looking at the old man like a madman, Tang Yi only felt a chill surging from the soles of his feet, cold to the top of his brain!

In any case, they have to pass the deadly imperial examination as soon as possible, and if they think that they will spend their whole lives in the exams, it is better to kill them!

Several people had palpitations and entered the ceremonial room, and the scribe inside lowered his eyelids, stretched his waist, and said casually: "After a busy morning, it's time to eat, you can come back in the afternoon." ”

As soon as he raised his head, the scribe's eyes almost fell, and he jumped up from his position all of a sudden.

"Tang Gongzi, you, why are you here?"

Tang Yi chuckled, "What else can you do, sign up!" ”

"Oh, you just say it, how convenient it is for the small one to come to the door and fill it out in person, why bother with your big driver!" The scribe said and pulled Tang Yi to sit down, poured tea and poured water, and the smile on his face was like the beckoning cat.

"Speaking of which, when Lord Tang was the master in Yamen, the two of us were good friends, drinking and chatting together. As the saying goes, Lao Tzu is a hero, a generation is stronger than a generation, Tang Gongzi can't be wrong, the little one wishes you an early three yuan and the first, Toad Palace is ......"

This guy's kind words are like not asking for money, and he doesn't repeat them for more than ten minutes. Tang Yi barely kept smiling, Wang Shimao couldn't bear it anymore.

"Do you want to get down to business first, there are a lot of people waiting to sign up outside, and we have to go home to review the book."

"Ah, yes, yes!"

The scribe accompanied the smiling face, brushed a little bit, filled in the names and ages of several people, physical characteristics, and three generations of resumes, and the scribe sent them to the door again, watching a few people disappear, and then rubbed his sore cheeks and returned to the ceremonial room.

Tang Yi wanted to go back to Wenshu, but as soon as he arrived at the door, a servant hurriedly ran over and said to Tang Yi: "Childe, Lord Tangzun wants to see you!" ”

"What's the matter with Lord Tan?" Tang Yi said casually.

The official hurriedly grinned and said with a wry smile: "It's not Lord Tan, it's Lord Zhang." ”

"Oh?" Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, he didn't do anything to Tan Cong, why did this guy run away?

In fact, Tang Yi spent the New Year, in addition to visiting the teacher, he went to the house to warm the book, and he didn't know that Zhizhou had been replaced. During the investigation of the White Lotus Sect, many magistrates were implicated and dismissed, leaving a shortage of officials.

Although Tan Cong has not made any achievements, he was found in a thief's nest in Taicang, and his preparation to sacrifice the Xuan Turtle has not happened yet, and he was suppressed by Tang Shunzhi. It's not that I feel sorry for Tan Cong, but I don't want everyone to know about it and arouse Jiajing's curiosity. Tang Jingchuan can't rely on this thing to get promoted and make a fortune.

In this way, Tan Cong had no fault, and he was promoted one level higher and transferred to Huizhou as the prefect.

It's fun now, he didn't succeed in trying to get promoted, and he was inadvertently promoted to the prefect, which is really providential.

Taicang's new governor is called Zhang Shouzhi, he is a Jinshi of Jiajing for 23 years, once did the magistrate of Jiading, with good political performance, and later transferred to Shandong as an official, but because of the integrity and integrity of the official, it has not been reused, and after ten years, he only mixed with Taicang Zhizhou.

Tang Yi, under the leadership of the officials, came to the signing room, Zhang Shouzhi was waiting here, he was less than forty years old, his body was thin, his cheeks were sunken, his cheekbones were prominent, and his eyes were bright and bright, not a good look. Seeing that Tang Yi didn't have any expression, he just said lightly: "You are Tang Yi?" ”

"It's the students."

"You haven't passed the exam yet, you don't need to call yourself a student!" Zhang Shouzhi said sternly, Tang Yi made a big red face, so he had to bow his head and stop speaking.

Tang Yi, as a disciple of Tang Jingchuan, claimed that there was no problem with his students, and Zhang Shouzhi made it clear that he was picking bones in the egg. What puzzled Tang Yi was why this guy didn't like him, he didn't seem to have offended him, could it be that someone asked him to make trouble?

Tang Yi was cranky and couldn't find an answer for a while.

Zhang Shouzhi's eyes kept wandering around Tang Yi, frankly saying that Tang Yi's appearance was enough, but Zhang Shouzhi had a prejudice in his heart, the more he looked at it, the more awkward he became, I heard that Yan Song also had a good appearance in his early years, and he didn't become a traitor to the country!

Thinking of this, Zhang Shouzhi suddenly stood up and said to Tang Yi, "Come with me." ”

Tang Yi followed Zhang Shouzhi to the front of the table, Zhang Shouzhi pointed to a painting on the table, and said lightly: "Take a look." ”

I don't know what this guy means, Tang Yi looked at it in a flash, and saw that in the picture, the crazy snow was sudden, the mountains and trees were in the wind and snow, there was a crooked path, and there was a young man on the road carrying a big bookcase, struggling to move forward. In the distance is a school, looming.

Zhang Shouzhi sighed slightly, "This painting was made by the old man, thinking back to the time when he was studying, the official's family was poor, and the school was more than ten miles away from home, and he had to go there before dawn." Catching up with the winter, there was no intact warm cotton clothes, and along the way, the hands and feet were numb and stiff, and I couldn't hold the pen. Now there are frostbite on the hands and feet, and every winter, it is still painful to the bone. ”

Which one is this?

Chicken soup for the soul?

Tang Yi couldn't figure out Zhang Shouzhi's path, so he could only echo and said: "Adults are eager to study, and they don't avoid difficulties, and the grass people admire them." "He bit the word grass man to death.

Zhang Shouzhi didn't care either, and sighed: "There are so many poor students in the world, and they have worked hard all their lives, and they may not even be able to get a talent and fame." And some people are of noble birth, have prominent families, study under famous families, and are born with an advantage over others. It is more important to be honest and energetic, and to learn wholeheartedly. You must know that there is a diligent path in the Book Mountain, and there is no end to the hard work of learning the sea. Don't ruin your life by looking for shortcuts. ”

After Zhang Shouzhi finished speaking, he rolled up the painting and sent it to Tang Yi.

"This painting is given to you, and I hope you can understand the painstaking efforts of this official."

Tang Yi was said to be angry and rushed up, God is pitiful, how can I honor the teacher at home, I didn't even go through the back door in line, as for looking for any shortcuts? Even if you look for it, you can't find it in the county exam! Even if you are a teacher for the county exam, you can't just give people a hat!

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Tang Yi smiled slightly, and said proudly: "Don't be busy, don't be busy, you can send me a painting, and Rong Caomin will write an inscription." ”

Saying that, Tang Yi picked up the brush, and without thinking, a Sauvignon Blanc poem jumped on the paper, Zhang Shouzhi looked at it, only to feel that his eyes were bright, it was really a rare masterpiece! (To be continued.) )
