Zhu Ruide originally wanted to leave Shanxian on the second day, but because Xiao Mo gave him too many surprises, he couldn't help but stay at Xiao Mo's house for three whole days in a row, learned about Xiao Mo's knowledge progress in detail, and worked with Xiao Shenyan to help Xiao Mo improve "The New Solution of the Mean" again. 1. During the sorting out of the novel αC, Liu Zongsheng, Xiao Huan, and Fan Guan also came to help many times.

Although they were helping Xiao Mo, in fact, on the way to improve "The New Solution of the Mean", they gained even more.

In the past three days, although Xiao Mo did not show everyone such a huge surprise as "The New Interpretation of the Mean" or "Xiao Ti", the knowledge he showed, as well as the arguments and laws he wrote over the years, made everyone applaud many times.

Not to mention Xiao Huan and Fan Guan, even Zhu Ruide and Liu Zongsheng, when they got along with Xiao Mo, they both felt that their knowledge had been stagnant for many years, and they had a feeling of sudden enlightenment in the past few days.

Especially Xiao Huan and Fan Guan, after coming into contact with "The New Interpretation of the Mean", not only greatly improved their vision and knowledge, but also under the teaching of Zhu Ruide, Xiao Shenyan and others, their knowledge is becoming more and more sophisticated, especially the understanding of Confucian scriptures, in just a few days, it has been completely improved to a realm.

Originally, the knowledge of these two people was extremely solid, and what they lacked was just some guidance from famous teachers. In fact, Zhu Ruide himself is one of the most famous literati in Yunzhou, and although Liu Zongsheng is worse, he is much more clever than the teaching gentlemen they met before, so although they only get along for a few days, the benefits obtained by the two are undoubtedly great.

However, after all, Zhu Ruide has an official position and cannot live in Shanxian County, so three days later, Zhu Ruide said goodbye to everyone and left.

Before leaving, in addition to telling Xiao Mo to remember to go to his house to live when he took the state exam, he also took away a few articles of "Xiao Ti" written by Xiao Mo.

The advent of a new kind of calligraphy, if it wants to be recognized by the world, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult, and it will be difficult for countless people in the early stage.

Zhu Ruide is familiar with several literati who are quite famous in the way of calligraphy, but he wants Xiao Mo's "Xiao Ti" to be recognized by those literati before it comes out, so that when "Xiao Ti" comes out in the future, there will be people to support him immediately, and the pressure will be reduced a lot.

Although Zhu Ruide did not particularly like the style of "Xiao Ti", and always felt that although the structure of this font was perfect and rigorous, the charm was too casual, he still hoped that the calligraphy created by his disciples could be recognized by the world, and he did his best to do so.

As for the state exam, Zhu Ruide is not worried at all, in Zhu Ruide's opinion, with Xiao Mo's current knowledge, even if he participates in the palace examination and wants to get a good ranking, there is no problem.

It's not just Zhu Ruide, after in-depth understanding in the past few days, everyone thinks so.

Only Deng Shangquan, after receiving a secret letter one day, was more silent than usual, and his eyes looking at Xiao Mo seemed to have some indescribable complexity.

After Zhu Ruide left, there was only one month left before the state exam began, Fan Guan and Xiao Huan both had to start preparing for the state exam, and they were less entangled with Xiao Mo, studying hard behind closed doors, only occasionally when they encountered difficult problems, they would ask Xiao Mo and Xiao Shenyan for advice, except that Liu Zongsheng still talked to Xiao Mo every once in a while, Xiao Mo's life was finally restored.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Twenty days later, in the early morning sun, Xiao Mo took Deng Shangquan, together with Fan Guan and Xiao Huan, under the send-off of Xiao Shenyan, Wang Jirui and others, and slowly drove towards Deyang City in a carriage, and the driver was still Deng Shangquan.

As for Wang Jirui, under Zhu Ruide's advice, he is not ready to participate in this state examination, and with his knowledge, he still needs to accumulate a period of time before he can participate in the state examination.

What's more, Xiao Shenyan's wind and cold are still not all good, and he has to stay and take care of them.

is different from last time, because of the company of Xiao Huan and Fan Guan, I talked with the two along the way, and listened to the bickering of the two, but I would not be bored.

The only thing that made Xiao Mo feel unaccustomed was that the closer he got to Deyang City along the way, Deng Shangquan's brows wrinkled tighter, and his expression became more complicated when he looked at Xiao Mo.

Deng Shangquan's control of speed and time was undoubtedly extremely amazing, and before the gate of Deyang City closed in the evening, the carriage happened to enter Deyang City.

Zhu Ruide served as Yunzhou Tong Zhilang, on behalf of the Son of Heaven to inspect one side, inspect the three winds of a place, that is, the official style, the folk style, and the style of learning, and go further, he will enter Beijing to serve as the prince Shaozhan or enter the inner province, although he is in the field, he can also be regarded as half of the Beijing official, although the power is not large, but even if the history of a state assassin must be treated with courtesy.

But when Xiao Mo came to Zhu Ruide's mansion with Xiao Huan and Fan Guan under the guidance of Deng Shangquan, Zhu Ruide's mansion was extremely simple, just like Zhu Ruide's personality, square and restrained.

After informing the next person, it didn't take long for Zhu Ruide to come in a hurry with a group of subordinates, and he actually greeted him in person, which made Xiao Mocheng feel terrified.

"Mo'er, you're finally here, the old man has been waiting for you for a long time, there are only ten days left for the state test today, I thought something happened to you and delayed, I wanted someone to pick you up in Shanxian County."

A smile flashed from Zhu Ruide's face, but it disappeared in an instant, and he patted Xiao Mo's shoulder and said.

The tone is still stern, but the taste of concern is obvious.

"Teacher, you Ye know, my fourth grandfather is not feeling well these days, and the students dare not leave lightly, so they have been waiting by the bedside, and they didn't leave home until early this morning, but it makes you worried, teacher."

Xiao Mo bowed down and said apologetically.

Next, Zhu Ruide introduced his family to Xiao Mo.

said that it was family, but in fact, there was only Zhu Ruide's wife Deng. Zhu Ruide only has one son and two grandchildren, but they are all in the capital. This is a rather kind old woman, perhaps because Zhu Ruide often mentions Xiao Mo to her, and she is very kind to Xiao Mo in her words, and she seems to be extremely familiar.

After Fan Guan and Xiao Huan saluted Zhu Ruide, at the invitation of Zhu Ruide, the two also lived in Zhu's mansion in the days before the state exam. Zhu Ruide's decision, but the two of them couldn't help but be overjoyed, a few days ago with Zhu Ruide, Xiao Shenyan together, has made the two feel that they have benefited a lot, at this time before the state test, if they can be taught by Zhu Ruide for ten days, their grasp of the state test will undoubtedly be much greater.

But Zhu Ruide didn't think about it so much, he just wanted to make it convenient for Xiao Mo.

Zhu Ruide is a strict teacher, and after dinner, he urged Xiao Mo and others to continue to study with him, in order to prevent Xiao Mo from having any accidents in the state exam, he spent a lot of time personally teaching and supervising before the state exam. In order not to distract Xiao Mo, the attitude of those literati towards "Xiao Ti" was not mentioned.

Ten days passed in a hurry, and the state test finally began.

The most special feature of the state examination is that after the initial written test, after the candidates reach the standard of knowledge, they also have to participate in the interview presided over by the examiners of the Ministry of Rites to examine the candidates' character, wit, demeanor, etc., only after these are also recognized by the examiners, can they obtain the fame of the judges.

There are still many candidates, after entering the examination room and coming to their own position, looking around, Xiao Mo's current environment here is no different from the county exam, it is still a tent several feet wide and long, still next to the toilet behind him, and it is still the low seat, but Xiao Mo has already been mentally prepared, Deng Shangquan and Zhu Ruide are even more prepared for him, but they are no longer as helpless as a year ago, after the exam papers, they immediately calm down, have no external objects, and concentrate on answering the papers.

Compared with the county examination, the written examination of the state examination, in addition to the three items of scripture and righteousness, the law, and the argument and policy, there are also two more miscellaneous studies and responses.

Miscellaneous studies are to examine candidates' understanding of Taoism, Buddhism, Legalism, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and other subjects in addition to the four books and five classics, which is also called a liberal discipline. The response is similar to poetry, but the examiner produces a few poems, and the candidate organizes the lower poem in his own language.

In comparison, Xiao Mo has concentrated on the study of Confucian scriptures and meanings over the years, and the two aspects of response and miscellaneous studies are much weaker.

Although there are two more subjects, the time for the written test is still only three days, and the time is undoubtedly much tighter.

But perhaps because of the full preparation, three days later, after all the answers were completed and handed over to the examiner, Xiao Mo smiled with satisfaction, but he felt very good, not to talk about the three subjects that Xiao Mo was already good at, even if it was dealing with and miscellaneous studies, Xiao Mo also answered very well, which was considered to be extraordinary. This was something Xiao Mo hadn't thought of before

And because of the continuous practice of the Five Fowl Opera for a year, Xiao Mo's physical condition has also improved a lot, at least after the written test, although the image is still wolf, but it is not as shaky and staggering as a year ago.

After leaving the examination room, I saw that Zhu Ruide and Deng Shangquan had been waiting outside the inspection for a long time, because Zhu Ruide himself was very famous in Yunzhou, so it attracted a lot of attention.

And Xiao Huan and Fan Guan had already left the examination room, reporting their results to Zhu Ruide, and looking for Xiao Mo among the candidates.

After seeing Xiao Mo, everyone greeted them quickly.

"Mo'er, how did you do this time?"

Zhu Ruide asked with concern, as old-fashioned and majestic as him, but there was still a little nervousness in his expression at the moment.

And Xiao Huan and Fan Guan also looked at Xiao Mo with concern.

"I did well in the coping and miscellaneous exams, much better than I expected."

In the face of everyone's concern and inquiry, Xiao Mo knew that this was not the time to be modest, so he replied with a smile.

Hearing Xiao Mo's answer, Xiao Huan and Fan Guan both cheered softly, and even a relaxed smile flashed on Zhu Ruide's face.

Although Xiao Mo just said that his "Miscellaneous Studies" and "Coping" were good in the exams, everyone knows that with Xiao Mo's knowledge, it is difficult for the other three even if he wants to do well, once the two relatively weak subjects of "Miscellaneous Studies" and "Coping" are well examined, then Xiao Mo will already be able to score nine out of ten in this state exam.

"Brother Xiao and Brother Fan, how did you do in the exam this time?"

Seeing Xiao Huan and Fan Guan's expressions, there was no fraud in their happiness, and there was no trace of jealousy, Xiao Mo couldn't help but be moved, and asked rhetorically.

Hearing Xiao Mo's inquiry, both of them smiled and nodded, their confidence overflowing.

The knowledge of the two of them is already very solid, these days they often communicate with Xiao Mo, and they are personally taught by Xiao Shenyan, Zhu Ruide and others, they have advanced by leaps and bounds, and their knowledge has long been different from that of a year ago. And both of them have taken two state exams before, although they have not passed guò, but they have rich experience, and they naturally know whether they are good or bad.

And when everyone was elated, only Deng Shangquan, who was standing quietly behind Xiao Mo, looked at Xiao Mo with a hint of pity and complexity in his eyes.
