On the first day of August, Xie Xianzhi and Yang Chun set off to Hangzhou to take the college examination together with the gentlemen and classmates of Zhushan Academy.

Among the people who went with them, there were also several students from Zhushan Academy who had already achieved fame in Xiucai, as well as the children of the fourth and fifth rooms of the Xie family, all of whom went to participate in the township examination in the same month. On the way, they will also meet several uncles and children of in-laws and cousins within Huyin County, some of whom are going to take the hospital exam, and some are going to the township to take the exam. The group of people combined, there were also about 20 people, plus their own clerks, long-term attendants, and the gentlemen who led the team, the stewards who ran errands and did some errands, etc., there were sixty or seventy people, accounting for seven or eight boats, and they marched in the direction of Hangzhou, and the whole county was eyed.

Xie Mulin and his relatives went to the dock to see him off, looking at Xie Xianzhi's high-spirited appearance, he sighed in his heart.

Xie Yinghui was even more excited than her, and said in private: "My brother will definitely go to high school this time!" It should be the first case, right? That's also a small three-yuan, and it's not bad compared to the second child! ”

Xie Mulin laughed when he heard it: "The two brothers are equally good, who can be worse than the other?" It would be good for both of them to take the exam in the same year. ”

"This is also true, at least the two brothers are small three yuan, and it is also a good story to spread it." Xie Yinghui glanced at Xie Jin, who was not far away, "I don't know how to speak softly, but I still know what to do in my heart." The second child did not take the township exam this year, but waited for my brother to take the next exam together, and did not steal his limelight. ”

Xie Mulin had to explain again: "The second brother is because Niu Daru said that he has not had enough experience and insufficient accumulation, and if he reluctantly participates in the township test this year, it is very likely that he will fall off the list, and even if he is on the list, the ranking will be very low, which is not decent enough." It's better to prepare for a few more years, wait until you are confident and then go to the exam, and win the top few places in the autumn festival in one go, then it will be beautiful. The second brother thinks that Niu Daru's words are reasonable, and he plans to take advantage of the period when he goes north to see the world more. He didn't mean to do it just to wait for someone to take the exam. ”

Xie Yinghui glanced at her: "When will you two brothers and sisters be able to speak honestly?" Is it so difficult to admit that you are a good brother and sister who are caring? ”

What kind of accumulation and experience do you need for this kind of thing? Their father, Xie Pu, was famous in one go, and he also said that his sons would not enter the gate of the capital if they were not admitted to the exam. Although the eldest brother had broken this ring because of her injury, and now his father no longer insists on waiting for his sons to be admitted to the Lifting People and then going north, it is enough to have a show of fame, but Xie Yinghui still feels that this is not because it is difficult to get a reputation for lifting people. Father will relax the requirements, but because Xie Xianzhi had to keep the filial piety of Duchess Chengen back then, delayed for a year, and could not participate in this year's township examination, he changed his mind.

If it weren't for Xie Xianzhi's filial piety that year, he and Xie Jinzhi would have participated in the township test together this year, both of them were lifted, and then they went north together to reunite with their father. Xie Pu felt that the two sons had this strength, so Xie Xianzhi and Xie Jinzhi must have this strength. Xie Jinzhi did not participate in the township test as originally planned, but waited for Xie Xian's subordinate reference before going out together, was it not deliberate or what? Xie Yinghui doesn't know about the imperial examination article, but she knows who is really good to her brother and sister.

Xie Mulin, who had accompanied his two elder brothers and two younger brothers to read the imperial examination articles and clearly knew how perverted Baguwen was, was speechless. How can she explain to her eldest sister that the township exam is not so easy to pass? Forget it, Xie Xianzhi's boat is about to leave soon, why is she still here struggling with her eldest sister about the difficulty of the township test? Anyway, Xie Yinghui's idea can't be said to be wrong, so she acquiesced......

Xie Xianzhi and Yang Chun, as well as the children of the fourth and fifth rooms, left their enthusiastic relatives and friends on a boat and went to Hangzhou to take a very important exam in their lives. And the people in Xie Jiajiao, life is still going on.

Xie Meijun would see a relative and friend who came to "persuade peace" almost every other day, and she was very annoyed. But her attention was on her son who participated in the hospital exam, and she couldn't muster up the energy to talk to others at this time, but she accidentally heard about Yang Yiquan's recent situation from outsiders.

In the past, Yang Yiquan gave up taking the entrance examination because he received a teaching position at Zhushan Academy. And the gentlemen of Zhushan Academy, there are several people who do not have the fame of Jinshi, and there are many people who have to make meritorious achievements, so he does not take the exam, and no one thinks there is anything wrong. And now, Yang Yiquan has resigned from the teaching position of Zhushan Academy in the name of preparing for the Spring Festival, and two years have passed, and he seems to be not ready to go to Beijing to take the exam. Otherwise, next year will be the year of spring, and there is only half a year left before now, where does he have time to go around holding poetry meetings and literary meetings with others, trying to call others to harass his ex-wife, but he doesn't mean to bury his head in hard reading?

Xie Meijun and Yang Yiquan have been husband and wife for more than ten years and know his level of knowledge. Without careful study, he has no hope of passing the examination. When he won the township examination that year, his ranking was a little low. It's just the Jiangnan Township Test, except for Xie Yuan, who ranked first, who is eye-catching, and the top ten are also qualified to be talked about, there is not much difference between the eleventh place and the second hundredth, so no one laughs at Yang Yiquan's ranking. It was precisely because his grades at that time were not satisfactory that he gave up continuing to take the examination and concentrated on the affairs of the college to avoid being ugly. Now is it possible that he has forgotten his true level and thinks that he doesn't need to bother to study hard to be able to go to high school?

He probably heard a lot of flattery from others, so he really thought he was some kind of peerless talent, right?!

He resigned from his teaching position in the name of preparing for the exam, and if he hadn't participated in the Spring Festival for two or three years, the gossip would be ugly!

Xie Meijun was a little suspicious, Yang Yiquan was either so flattered that he got carried away, and planned to go to the capital next year to make a fool of himself; Either they pretend to participate in the Spring Festival, but in fact, they want to reunite with her ex-wife through the marriage of their children, and then they can continue to return to Zhushan Academy to teach, and in the name of concentrating on teaching and educating people, they will leave the Spring Festival behind.

He did this kind of thing!

Xie Meijun couldn't help but sneer, seeing that the talented lady who came to persuade her was terrified: "Sister Xie, what are you...... What's wrong? ”

"Nothing." Xie Meijun put away her sneer and said to her lightly, "You don't have to persuade me anymore, what did Yang Yiquan do and say outside, and I am not blind or deaf, how can I not know?" If he had repented, he would not have deliberately allowed outsiders to chew his tongue! He has neither heart nor righteousness, so why should I go back and endure him? Now that I'm doing well, Brother Chun is about to grow up, and when he gets fame and starts a family, I will find a good family for Sister Yuan, and there will be nothing to worry about in this life. I'm living comfortably in my mother's house, why bother going back to Yang's house to suffer?! Yang Yiquan only said it nicely, but in fact, nothing could be done, and he only knew that he was at the mercy of his aunt. What more can I expect from this man?! ”

Xiucai Niangzi smiled dryly: "Don't say that, how can Brother Yang be as bad as you say?" He's a well-known talent......"

"Is it a talent, let's talk about it when he is admitted to the Jinshi!" Xie Meijun chuckled, "Our Xie family has no shortage of talents, and everyone in the academy is studying, where is he better than others?" ”
