Zhang Xiang and Zhao Cheng learned from Zheng Shijie about the questions of this exam, and they were not idle when they returned to the room, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to find the books involved, and read them seriously.

The big examination is divided into two parts of the examination, filial piety and integrity, and Xiucai, which basically inherits the examination system of the previous dynasty. The Department of Filial Piety and Honesty mainly examines the Confucian scriptures and texts, mainly examining the Confucian Five Classics, namely the Book of Poetry, the Book of Rites, the Book of Rites, the Zhou Yi, and the Spring and Autumn Period. This part covers a wide range of topics, and the questions are often taken from the tip of the iceberg, which can best test students' foresight and resourcefulness.

With Zheng Shijie's ingenuity, he will definitely be on the list and among the best in this big exam, but why Zheng Xun risked losing his black yarn hat to revise the book and inform him that he would test the exam questions, which made him think twice. Once Zhang Xiang and Zhao Cheng, the two idiots, unintentionally leaked their mouths, if the entire school palace knew about it, Zheng Xun would definitely be unable to escape the blame.

"Brother Zhang? Hey, it's rare to see Brother Zhang so studious, it can't be stimulated by something, right? "Wei Qian, a Confucian student in the middle of the house, poked into the room like a thief, and this guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp." I see that you kid is just stimulated, what are you sneaking up on me for? Zhang Xiang pretended to put his hands behind his back leisurely, so as not to be seen by him.

"Hey, why did Brother Zhang say this? Foolish brother is here to ask you for poetry and literature~" Wei Qian smiled at him charmingly, Zhang Xiang almost vomited nauseously, thinking that he was also bullshit, how could he come to ask for poetry, there must be something strange in it.

"You're exalting me too much, you don't know how many drops of ink I have in my stomach? Foolish, I'm just putting on a show. Zhang Xiang was clever once, but Wei Qian still didn't give up, and said in his ear: "I've seen it!" Brother and Brother Zhao came out of Zheng Gongzi's room..."

"Shut up! Did you kid hear that? Zhang Xiang asked with a tight heart. Wei Qian looked at him like a furry monkey who was mad and angry, and hurriedly said, "No.. No, no.. The voices of the few of you are so small, and there is the bitter gourd-like son guarding the door, where can you hear wow~" Zhang Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked him to get out of the house quickly.

Wei Qian suddenly knelt on the ground and cried, crying as if he had no father and mother, holding Zhang Xiang's leg but refusing to let go. Zhang Xiang was annoyed, and looked back thinking that if he didn't tell him, this kid would go around and make some gossip, and he would eventually drag him down.

In desperation, Zhang Xiang secretly told him to ask the exam questions, and took out a knife from the bedside, warning him that if he leaked out, he would rip out his heart and liver, Wei Qian was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and staggered and ran away.

It's sad not that I don't know the exam questions, it's sad that I don't know how to answer the exam questions, Zhang Xiang is like this, Zhao Cheng is like this, the two of them meditated hard, racked their brains, and couldn't even squeeze out a complete article, and they didn't dare to find Zheng Shijie to ghostwrite, and finally had to let Wei Qian write on his behalf and wrote three decent articles. Although this Wei Qian is not as intelligent and knowledgeable as Carrie Lam, he is also half a talent.

In the afternoon, Zheng Xun, who was the chief official of the big middle school, and Chen Tong, who was the chief official of the small middle school, each led their men and horses to the Dongyang School Palace one after another, and the husband Wang Chong personally met and greeted them.

Later in the evening, Zheng Xun called the child Zheng Shijie into the hall for questioning, this Zheng Xun has white hair, and his thick raised eyebrows are also white, and he asked with a calm face: "Feng'er, how many years have you been studying in the Academy?" Zheng Shijie bowed his head and said: "It's been nearly three years." Zheng Xun exhaled: "What did you learn?" "There seemed to be life in the conversation.

"Four books and five classics, literary and historical classics, poems.." Before Zheng Shijie finished speaking, Zheng Xun interrupted him: "Have you learned to be a man?" Zheng Shijie said slyly: "The child doesn't know why his father said this..."Zheng Xun stared at him, got up and said angrily: "Husband Wang told your father what you have done unruly and bad things, dare to bluff your father, have you forgotten your mother's fate?" ”

"Don't mention my mother! Don't..."Zheng Shijie was suddenly indignant, the corners of his mouth trembled, his eyes were full of tears, and his voice gradually weakened again.

Zheng Shijie's mother, Jia Shi, was born young and beautiful, married into the Thorn History Mansion at the age of eighteen, Zheng Xun loved and doted on her very much, and gave birth to Zheng Shijie the next year. Who would have thought that this Jia family had an ambiguous relationship with another man before marrying into the mansion, and had a private lifelong decision, the two can be regarded as a love affair, the two are happy, and marrying into the assassin's mansion is not what she wants.

The infatuated Jia can't forget the man, and after getting married, the two have exchanged many letters, and the words are full of love and madness. Whenever Zheng Xun asked her why she was depressed, Jia Shi would use excuses to prevaricate and lie and deceive.

After Zheng Xun learned the truth that she did not abide by women's morals and had constant ambiguities with others, he forced her to write a letter to lure the man to the house and poison him to death. After that, the Jia family went crazy, Zheng Xun married a few more wives, but they did not give birth to a son and a half daughter, looking at Zheng Shijie, who had not yet learned to walk, Zheng Xun finally had some conscience to leave the Jia family in the house.

Although Jia Shi is crazy, she recognizes her child, which may be a mother's instinct. Zheng Shijie has grown up in the company of Jia's and servants for more than ten years, Zheng Xun's official career is smoother, he is busy with official affairs, and he has no time to take care of them, and secondly, he has no intention of caring about the mother and son, every time he sees Jia's crazy appearance, he is angry and angry.

Zheng Shijie trembled with fear every time he thought of what happened to his mother, when he was still young, Zheng Xun later married several wives and concubines who often humiliated and bullied him and his mother Jia, and locked him in a dark room, he shuddered when he thought of his mother's crazy face.

Zheng Shijie grew up, and Zheng Xun slowly became interested in him, after all, he was the only son, and he was also flesh and blood, and those wives and concubines who were vicious and vicious on weekdays did not dare to do anything wrong to the mother and son.

Three years have passed, with Zheng Shijie's intelligence and intelligence, the high school grade is tantamount to taking something in the bag, but he deliberately left his younger brother, because only in the Dongyang School Palace, he can experience the feeling of being high up, not afraid of heaven and earth, he wants to make everyone afraid of him and respect him, he doesn't dare to go home to face his mother's crazy face, and he doesn't dare to face the world outside the school palace.

"The children have confessed..."

"For my father, I risked losing the black yarn to help you once, if I don't go to high school this year, I will go home, your mother has been nagging about you lately." Although Zheng Xun's tone is heavy, it is light and ruthless, and Zheng Shijie should be sad. Zheng Xun didn't worry about the children's big exam, but this year's strategy was very different from previous years, and he had to take a risk.

"Feng'er, I heard from the husband that you gathered a crowd to make trouble in Xuezhitang yesterday and injured someone, really?!" Where did Zheng Xun think that Xiao'er would be so lawless. Zheng Shijie said: "Father, yesterday the child did gather all the students in the Xuezhi Hall, but the child just wanted to make things difficult for that Xu Xianglin. ”

"Xu Xianglin? Who is he? Zheng Xun frowned, got up and asked, Zheng Shijie told him what happened yesterday carefully. Zheng Xun paced a few steps and stopped, turned around and asked, "Do you know where the people are?" Zheng Shijie said: "It seems to be the clan of the county under the Wu Hurt People." Zheng Xun asked again: "What is his father's name?" Zheng Shijie said: "The child is not clear, but the husband should know." Zheng Xun thought for a moment and told him to go down and rest.
