"Young Master, should we find a place to settle down first, or should we visit the prefect first?"

Stepping on the streets of Changzhou, Hongshang asked Ye Heng's opinion.

Ye Heng said: "Let's settle down first, I want to ask to see the prefect, I'm too presumptuous to be afraid that it won't be good!" Let's find an inn first......"

Changzhou is located as a hub connecting Jiangning, Yangzhou and Suzhou and Hangzhou, and has always been a prosperous place, of course...... Compared with the southern capital Jiangning and Yangzhou and Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is still incomparable, but during the Tang Dynasty Wuzong, Changzhou had a glorious history of rising to one of the top ten state capitals in the country, which also reflects the prosperity of this place from the side.

Walking on the streets, you can see vendors and people rushing to the market everywhere, especially the street in front of the government office is the most lively.

It is now September 14, and there are still eight days before the start of the Jiangning Township trial, but three days have passed since the Changzhou Township trial list.

So Chen Yuqing has also been busy in the past few days, and it can be said that he has just taken a breath, but he can't relax yet.

He also had to accompany the examiners and the scholars to prepare a banquet, and when the banquet was over and everyone went their separate ways, Chen Yuqing could be said to be idle.

And Ye Heng, who learned about this situation, had no choice but to let Hongshang prepare and stay at the inn for a few more days.

According to the original plan, Ye Heng and the others should be able to go to Changzhou on September 12, and then go to Jiangning on September 15, so Ye Heng still has some time to review the collection of poems!

However, because the trip in Chongde was delayed for two or three days, Ye Heng's time is very tight now, but Ye Heng is not worried.

Of course, it is also necessary to make up for the knowledge of the imperial examination while he has free time, and at this time, Changzhou has just finished a township examination, and Ye Heng needs some information that is easy to collect.

Hu Buxiu is a head catcher in the yamen, and he used to serve as a guard for the township test, and he is also familiar with the operation, so Hu Buxiu helped Ye Heng to inquire about some important news.

For example, the exam questions of the Changzhou Township Examination this time, as well as several other questions, as well as the model texts that can be found among the scholars who were raised this time, if you can get these materials, at least Ye Heng can also make a reference.

After asking Hu Buxiu to do these things, Ye Heng said to Hongshang and Lu Hongsleeve: "In the past two days, Changzhou is going to hold a banquet, but I am afraid that the prefect will not have time to see me." Instead of wasting your time, take the opportunity to read more books, and don't disturb me! ”

Lu Hongsleeve looked at Ye Heng in surprise and asked, "You can't be ...... Sharpen your guns, right? ”

"Of course not......"

In fact, when Ye Heng said this, he was a little weak-hearted, and he was really sharpening his gun.

Although this body has read some books before, and it is still the one that is rote memorization, but if you want to apply the great principles recorded in those scriptures and canons to the exam, you need to think about it carefully.

After Ye Heng arrived in this era, with the knowledge brought by the time travel, and the things that he had memorized before this body, it should not be a big problem to write a good exam paper, but Ye Heng knew that the imperial examination was not something you could say and write!

There are so many doorways in this!

In the past two days, he has locked himself in the inn and specially studied the Analects, Mencius, Poems, and Books, because from the information collected by Hu Buxiu, although the imperial examination in the early Northern Song Dynasty was much more mature than that of the Tang Dynasty, the content of this examination was still inseparable from the interpretation of the two Confucian classics.

Of course, in addition to the Jingyi Arguments, the Imperial Examination will also test poetry, but compared with the Jingyi Arguments, poetry will have a much smaller impact on your grades.

Moreover, Ye Heng was not worried about the exam in terms of poetry, so his energy was focused on the scriptures.

This scripture is not easy to learn, and this thing is still the ancestor of the later Ming and Qing Dynasty Baguwen, Ye Heng is not interesting to learn alone, for example, in this "Analects", there are many questions and answers between Confucius and his students, and now many highly respected scholars often say one of the dialogues when testing their juniors, and then let the person who is tested make up this dialogue, and by the way, explain the meaning, this is called the examination school.

The examination school where the two of them asked and answered was naturally more interesting than Ye Heng finding the question casually and then answering it himself, so Ye Heng found the red dress and said to her: "Come, you come and ask me!" ”

As he spoke, he handed over a few books to Hongshang, and then Hongshang was confused, shook his head and said, "Young master, I'm ...... How do I know what to ask you! ”

Thinking about it, although Hongshang knows words, it was some of the fur that she learned when the Ye family followed the old lady before, and later taught herself some by Ye Heng's side, but for these profound and obscure scriptures, it is strange that she can understand them!

Ye Heng was helpless and said: "Alas, I ask and answer by myself, of course, all I ask is what I remember in my subconscious, what's the point?" Alas......"

sighed, which also made the red dress anxious.

For a long time, she regarded Ye Heng's participation in the imperial examination as more important than anything else, but now that Ye Heng was under so much pressure, Hongshang was a little worried about him.

After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and came to Lu Hongsleeve's side.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Hongsleeve's room was next door to Ye Heng and Hongsheng's room, and beyond that was Pang Tietou and Hu Buxiu's room. Seeing that Hongsheng came to find him, and his face was not very good, Lu Hongsleeve hurriedly asked.

Hongshang looked at her, blinked her eyes and asked, "Sister Red-sleeved, I heard Uncle Hu say that when Brother Ling was studying in the past, it was Sister Red-sleeved that you helped by the side, right?" In that case, Sister Red Sleeves, you should be very powerful, right? ”

In the past, Hongshang had always called Lu Hongsleeve the master, but later Lu Hongsleeve felt that this title sounded a little awkward, because she had already disbanded the water village, so she mentioned yì and the Hongshang sisters!

"Why do you ask this?".

Lu Hongsleeve asked rhetorically, then breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I just saw that you had a bitter face when you came in, I thought something had happened!" As for your question...... Hehe, I don't dare to say that I'm amazing, it's just that when my brother was studying, I helped sort out some related things together and ......"

"That ......"

Hongshang looked at Lu Hongsleeve with expectation, and then said, "Sister Hongsleeve, you can go...... Do you want to help the young master? ”
