According to the practice of the imperial examination system in the Dahua Dynasty, the examination will be scheduled to start on the ninth day of the second month, and now it is the thirteenth day of the first month, and the time is less than a month, Han Fei decided to close the door and calm down to review the books.

In the previous county test, the government test, the hospital test, and the township test, he more or less took advantage of it, and there was no external force to borrow from the test. Of course, if the exam questions happen to be recorded in the super system in his head, then it is another thing to say, he can't put all the treasure on luck.

Before this, Han Fei still has one more job to complete, that is, to help Jia Baoyu's father repair a phoenix hairpin. The workmanship of that phoenix hairpin is extremely exquisite, rarely seen on the market, he intuitively feels that it should be something in the palace, and it is very likely to be the thing of Concubine Jia Yuanchun, but this matter involves other people's privacy, and it is inconvenient for him to ask.

He had prepared all the things for the application last night, and today he locked himself in the ashram and was busy all morning, and he was done. After lunch, he rushed to Jiafu again with the waiter.

The gatekeeper of Jiafu had already learned a lesson, and when he saw Han Fei getting out of the car, he hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Little greetings to Han Gongzi, please go in!" ”

"I have other important matters, so I won't go in, you go and inform Young Master Baoyu!" Han Fei understood that when he entered the Jia Mansion, he would toss and choke enough, so he simply didn't bother to enter the door.

After about a stick of incense, Jia Baoyu walked out of the door quickly and said, "Second brother, why don't you come in and sit down?" ”

"No, I'll wait to go to the bookstore to have a look, pick out a few books, and then go back to read books behind closed doors, after all, the exam time is imminent!" Han Fei handed the brocade box in his hand to Jia Baoyu, and said, "This thing has been completely repaired, you give it to your uncle, and greet your uncle on your behalf!" ”

"Repaired so quickly?" Jia Baoyu opened the brocade box and took a look, and exclaimed: "The second brother's skills are really ingenious, and there is no trace of it!" ”

"This is a small skill of carving insects, it's nothing, third brother, so be it, I'm leaving, your family is preparing to welcome Concubine De's provincial affairs, and you're too busy, let's get together after the Lantern Festival!"

Jia Baoyu knew that Han Fei was telling the truth, so he said: "Okay, second brother, the younger brother will visit the house again after the holiday!" ”

When Han Fei left Jiafu, he also went to Gong Street, where the Gongyuan was located, which was mostly filled with shops such as calligraphy, painting, books, and the Four Treasures of the Scholar's Room, and was the favorite place for literati to gather. He didn't come here to buy any books, the ninth princess Zhang Wanyi had already prepared them for him, and the purpose of his visit was to hear if there was any news related to the exam, after all, sometimes the gossip is often closer to the truth.

When he arrived at Gong Street, Han Fei abandoned the car and walked all the way with the bookkeeper, while visiting the bookstore, while listening to the discussions of other scholars. The focus of the discussion is nothing more than who the examiner of this year's exam is, the preferences of the examiner, and so on. The imperial court will generally announce the list of examiners and fellow examiners on the eve of the entrance examination, but there is still a bit of context to follow, according to the convention, the chief examiner is basically the ministers of the Ministry of Rites or the cabinet, and the same examiner is to select senior Hanlin from the Hanlin Academy.

Walking all the way, it was already the time of Shen Shi, and at this time, Han Fei and the waiter happened to arrive in front of a restaurant. Han Fei looked at the golden "Zhuangyuan Building" plaque on the gatehouse and said, "Waiter, I have long heard that the wine and food of the Zhuangyuan Building in the capital are good, let's eat here for dinner!" ”

"Master, the wine and food in the Zhuangyuan Building are definitely not as good as our Yuelaiju, but unfortunately our Yuelaiju branch has not yet opened in the capital!"

"Haha, it's almost there, Yuelaiju will definitely open a branch in the capital this year!"

As soon as Han Fei entered the store with the waiter, a guy immediately stepped forward, bowed down and asked, "Guest officer, are you dining in the lobby or going upstairs?" ”

The Zhuangyuan Building is a traditional business model, and the upstairs is not divided into small private rooms, and only a few independent rooms are available on the top floor, but that is not for ordinary diners. Han Fei glanced at the lobby and saw that the diners were already full of seven or eight percent, and it was estimated that there would be no fewer people upstairs, so he said, "Just here, send your special dishes to try!" ”

The diners in the lobby are basically people who are dressed in clothes, in fact, it is normal, the name of this restaurant is good, this year is the year of Dabi, who doesn't want to be touched by the joy of "champion"? However, not many of these people actually dined, and many of them were talking about something.

Han Fei chose a corner table to sit down, and the shopkeeper brought tea, and he listened to the discussion in the store while sipping tea.

"Jiangsu Province and Jiangxi Province have always been places where culture and education flourish, and today's battle is really exciting!"

"What I said is that after today's competition, Jiangsu's move is still slightly inferior, but the bet is too ...... Hehe, Jiangsu Juzi is going to lose face! ”

"It's only because Xu Zheng doesn't think he's doing anything, he's just the second place in the township exam, how can he beat Ruan Wenyuan? After all, he is Xie Yuan of the Jiangxi Township Test! ”

"That's right, it's a pity that Jiangsu Xie Yuan Han Fei didn't come...... Han Xie Yuan is famous all over the world, if he appears, it will be a real strength competition! ”

"Well, some people are rumored that the ones who are most likely to win this branch will be Ruan Wenyuan and Han Fei, who do you say has a better chance of winning?"

"It's hard to say, both of them are well-educated, I'm afraid that the final win or loss depends on the background of the two. Han Fei's mentor is Du Yun, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, but after all, he is worried about returning to his hometown, and Ruan Wenyuan's uncle is the first assistant of the cabinet of the current dynasty, Ruan Changfeng, a scholar of Huagai Palace, so it can be seen that Ruan Wenyuan's chances of winning are much greater. Of course, after all, the test is a transcription of the papers, the key is to read the article, maybe neither of them can get into the first class! ”

"We are self-aware, and if we can be selected, our ancestors will bless us, and we don't dare to expect the first and second first! Alas, don't talk about these, then Ruan Jieyuan's pair is really absolute, 'Wangjianglou, Wangjiangliu, Wangjianglou Wangjiangliu, Jianglou is eternal', the younger brother sighs to himself, he can't think of the next link, can the brother have a couplet? ”

"The little brother is ashamed, and he didn't come up with the next link!"

Hearing this, Han Fei knew that he was in the wrong place, but he encountered a competition between Jiangsu and Jiangxi Juzi, but it was when Jiangsu Juzi fell behind. In this era, the concept of the countryside is extremely strong, as a member of the Jiangsu Juzi, if it is known that he does not help his fellow villagers, then he must be pointed out by thousands of people in Shilin, Jiangsu. But he thought that the leader of Jiangsu Juzi was Xu Zheng...... The old accounts falsely accused by the Xu family have not yet been settled!

At this time, there was a wild laugh from upstairs, and at the same time someone shouted: "You Jiangsu Juzi have this ability, and you came to participate in the examination, you really lost the face of Jiangnan Juzi, or honestly climb downstairs and go back to your hometown!" ”

"You-" A man who was probably from Jiangsu shouted angrily, "What are you arrogant? Today, the province has not arrived, if you have the guts, let's make an appointment to compare! ”

"Not ready? You're talking about your Jiangsu Xie Yuan Han Fei, right? The surname Han has a false name, if he dares to come today, this son will still let him climb out from here, haha......"

Matt, if you don't mess with the master, you will pretend to be confused, and dare to use the master's reputation as a stepping stone...... Aunt can bear it, Uncle can't bear it!
