After all, a lot of first-hand information about the imperial examination will be inadvertently revealed before the exam, such as who the examiner is, what style of writing he prefers, or which direction this year's exam questions will be biased into, and what are the possible test points.

Too specific may not be reliable, but there is always some gossip that catches the wind. If you want to grasp those fleeting opportunities and find a direction that is beneficial to you, you should come here as soon as possible. Some scholars who feel that they have some ability but are not too sure about it always like to inquire about these things.

Most of these scholars who like to form gangs and get together on weekdays are also familiar with each other, and they accidentally caught a glimpse of Su Minghu's table, so they didn't look for another location, and walked straight to ask Xiao Er to move another table to share the table.

A few people exchanged pleasantries, but they didn't see each other, but they each sat down politely.

After hearing that several people happened to be here to ask for a guarantee today, they had some topics to talk about.

But today's topic is probably just about exams.

"I heard that the chief examiner of this year's county exam is our county magistrate, I like good words, if you have any good sentences, you may wish to write them then, maybe you can also get a little favorite......"

One person said, but the other interjected: "I heard that the direction of the imperial court this year is different from usual, and the wild men who rode beasts on the border a month ago have recently begun to change again, and presumably the officials of the imperial court will also be worried about this, maybe the exam questions will be closer to this aspect......

This is an aspect that no one has ever thought of, and after mentioning it, it feels like being in contact with the truth, and they have thanked each other. Even the middle-aged Xiucai also looked thoughtful, and he probably felt a little reasonable.

After chatting about these exam questions for a while, everyone found that they had their own opinions, and after all, there were not too many conclusions, and everyone felt that their guesses were more reliable, so there was no reason for anyone to be more convinced.

In this way, there was a lot of controversy, so I simply changed the topic and shifted to the candidates of the county examination.

As human beings are, many people will guess who will be the head of the case this year.

"I guess it should be the Chen Sheng of Dongji Village, I had the pleasure of meeting him a few days ago, and he is very good, and he is ashamed of himself, ......."

"I've seen Chen Sheng before, and his writing is really good, but I know that someone is a little more powerful than him. This year, there is a 12-year-old boy surnamed Hu in the academy, did you know? Many teachers have praised him as a child prodigy, he can read and write at the age of three, and the poems he wrote at the age of seven can make many people feel ashamed. ”

"If you talk about the head of this year's case, it must be this prodigy......

"If that's the case, it's possible!"

After all, the so-called position of the head of the case is too far away from them, as long as they can be on the list, it is already something worth celebrating, where do they dare to look forward to what ranking?

It's just that at this time, I don't know who first mentioned it, "I heard that Brother Su's younger brother is also going to participate in the imperial examination this year?" Isn't he also a rising star with amazing talent? ”

The tone seemed to be amazed, but it sounded so harsh and inexplicable.

Everyone looked at Su Minghu, who didn't speak much, with some curiosity in their eyes.

After all, not everyone is familiar with each other's family background, although Su Minghu and they know each other because they often get together, but it is not clear what kind of person the other party's younger brother is.

Su Minghu was stunned, and then his face turned red, and he waved his hand again and again, "Nothing, nothing, it's just a joke, don't believe it......"

"Hey, don't be modest." The man coaxed again, "Since you dare to take the imperial examination directly without even going to school for a day, isn't it a prodigy?" It's much stronger than the young man surnamed Hu just now! We laymen don't dare to compare! ”

The tone was yin and yang, full of sarcasm, Su Minghu's face was red and white, but he lowered his head but didn't dare to speak.

The uninformed people quietly inquired and learned that the second brother of the Su family was actually a cowherd baby, and he had never even entered the door of the school, so how could he talk about the knowledge of the imperial examination!

This kind of coarse person dares to enter the imperial examination hall in their eyes, which only cultural people with status can enter, doesn't it just because he has lowered the identity of the scholar that everyone is proud of, and has become a member of the cattle herding boy?!

Such a ridiculous thing is really unheard of and unseen, and it is really ridiculous!

The eyes of everyone looking at him gradually changed, from the original curiosity to a little more accusatory and annoyed, and their faces were not good.

At this moment, the middle-aged Xiucai knocked on the table, and said with a little dissatisfaction, "Su Minghu, why are you also from your younger brother?" Don't you know what the occasion of the county exam is? We, the literati who have read poetry and books, should also be cautious and restrained, this cowherd boy dares to enter the exam and is not afraid of making any jokes? When the time comes, what should not be written, what should not be said, in case the county lord knows, he will be held responsible, you can't eat and walk around, but don't affect me! ”

He wanted to simply throw the silver back to save the other party trouble, but after weighing the weight, he still counted it, and only warned him a few times.

Su Minghu almost wanted to burrow his head under the table in the ridicule and teasing words of everyone, and he was even more ashamed and resentful of the younger brother who was not successful.

It's that stinky boy who caused him to lose face in front of his friends!

In the end, it seemed that the interest was stirred up at this moment, and everyone did not intend to finish the meal any longer. One person suggested that it would be better to invite some friends to hold a small poetry meeting in the suburbs, and everyone agreed, ready to go.

Su Minghu also hurriedly got up, planning to clean up and follow along. In the past, although there were no nouns and good sentences in small poetry clubs like this, it was also beneficial for a group of fellow scholars to chat.

It's just that a person next to him stopped him, patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother Su, since your family has a prodigy's younger brother, why do you want to participate in any poetry meetings, why don't you go back and give him a good guide again, maybe this year's case will fall to your family?" ”

Su Minghu's face changed, and he was about to argue, but then he heard another person laugh and said, "Yes, when the time comes, we will ask the head of the Su case to take care of it......"

"Haha!"

"It's funny, this joke can be told to friends......"

Everyone laughed insolently and walked away together, leaving Su Minghu alone in place, looking at their backs, his face gradually turned pale, as if he had been struck by lightning.
