The students who can enter the Bamboo Academy to study are at least talented, but there are also some people who come to study.

On weekdays, the teacher's forum is secondary, and self-study is the main thing, and the students of the Bamboo Academy go to Mr. to ask for advice if they have any questions, because whether they are from a show or a child, they are studying together.

The newly admitted students have been examined by Mr.,Originally, it was just a casual thing.,Later, it developed into a three-way examination that had to be examined.,What you say.,Must be recognized by Mr. and Tongzhen.,If there are some students who are not convinced,On-the-spot discussion,There are also。

Meng Zhongting said that he was red-faced when he was asked, and finally it was the mountain chief Ye Yongqu who spoke, saying that he was just a new talent and should not be too demanding, so he reluctantly passed.

Meng Zhongting said that he was a little embarrassed, "...... It seems that Shen Sheng, who enrolled last year, was convinced by Tong Zhen, but the questions he asked were even difficult to answer. ”

"It's the ...... surnamed Shen again" Wu Li was not angry, and when she saw Meng Zhongting looking like she had been hit, she hurriedly said: "Although they are both showmen, what age is he and what age are you?" If he really has the ability, why don't he go directly to Qiufu and study here. ”

Meng Zhongting is only thirteen years old this year, the same as Wei Ming, but Shen Pan is already twenty.

Wei Ming nodded again and again, seeing that Meng Zhongting was still hesitant, he suddenly thought of what Cui Zhi said before, he was so reborn in the imperial examination, he robbed all the positions of the head of the case that originally belonged to Meng Zhongting, and it was just a matter of not having the position of the head of the case, but he inevitably hit Meng Zhongting.

Looking at Meng Zhongting's appearance, he was obviously hit by himself, and then he came to this masterful bamboo courtyard, which was another blow.

No wonder every time the girl mentioned Meng Zhongting, she had a look of pity.

After all, Meng Zhongting is still young......

At Wei Ming's age, of course, he wouldn't take children seriously, so he threw away irrelevant things at the moment, and persuaded him together with Wu Li.

"That Shen Pan is very polite, I think I am afraid that you will steal his limelight, so you deliberately make problems as interference, you should not take it to heart, a good man has lofty ambitions, and he doesn't have to care about temporary success or failure."

When Wei Ming said this, it was very similar to what Meng Zhongting's mother taught him.

He couldn't help but look up at Wei Ming, and suddenly realized that there was nothing disgraceful about his defeat to such a person!

The fourth brother Meng Zhongliang laughed at him for losing to the country boy, but in the end, the bamboo courtyard did not keep Meng Zhongliang out! And he can at least stand here with dignity!

Meng Zhongting took a deep breath, set a few points in his heart, and talked carefully to Wei Ming and Wu Li about the situation when he was tested at the beginning.

On the third day of the wine invitation, Wei Ming finally saw everyone who had woken up on the mountain.

Ye Shilang is old, and he has long ceased to be in charge, and the academy entrusted it to his son Ye Yongqu. Ye Yongqu is also from the two lists of Jinshi, and among the three gentlemen in this examination, even if he is one.

In addition to Ye Yongqu, there is also a Mr. Teng, is an old man, he has only taken the spring exam once, after the name fell to Sun Shan, he was not interested in the government, seeing the chaos of the government and the opposition, and the capable ministers who had no way to govern the country, he came to Yangzhou to follow Ye Shilang. Although he is a person, he is not under Ye Yongqu at all in terms of learning, and his lectures are simple and insightful, and the students of the academy respect him very much.

Finally, there is a gentleman with the same surname and name. Wei Ming felt strange when he saw him here, Qian Tong was one of the backbones of the Zhejiang Party behind him, but he didn't expect to be a gentleman in the Bamboo Academy.

Qian Tong was born as a Jinshi, but he was a Tongjinshi.

Wash the feet of Mrs. Ru and give her the same Jinshi background.

Serious Jinshi looks at the same Jinshi, and he still looks down on him. But Qian Tong will use his strength to prove that he, a fellow jinshi, is still an official.

These people are all people that Wei Ming has almost never seen and only heard of, and now they are indescribably interesting to see with such a face.

He thought about it to himself, and then thought about it, until he was dragged by Wu Li, he came back to his senses, and he listened to Wu Li said: "Mr. asked you and me to find a seat for each of us, and the exam is about to start!" ”

Meng Zhongting secretly beckoned to them, and on both sides of Meng Zhongting, there happened to be empty places.

The three gentlemen were at the top, and there were several young men dressed as gentlemen on either side, and then there were six tables in each row, and nearly twenty rows were students. However, this is only a part of the students in the Bamboo Academy, which considers the limited teaching hall and has opened a staggered class system, and half of them do not attend classes today.

Wei Ming and Wu Li went to Meng Zhongting, and immediately a student said, "Oh! It's a coincidence, these three are all guests from Shandong! ”

He bit "Shandong" and "Guest" hard, and all the students laughed secretly. What's more, he whispered: "It's not funny, after all, when people take the northern paper, they will be happy and relaxed, and we will take the southern paper, which is a lot of hardship." ”

According to the imbalance of regional development, the imperial examination was also ranked separately from the north and south, and there were some remote areas, where the number of applicants was not large, but the allocated number of places was quite a lot.

In contrast, the Jiangnan area is thriving academically, with many academies, and the students' academic knowledge is generally higher than that of other regions.

Almost all the students in the Bamboo Academy are southerners, and they deeply envy Wei Ming and the three of them, and naturally they also look down on the three of them.

Someone muttered in a low voice, "That Wei Sheng is the only little Sanyuan in Shandong last year!" Maybe you have some skills! ”

Someone replied, "Little Sanyuan is not Sanyuan!" Don't you know how difficult it is for children? Shandong's children's test is just a child's test, you and I have passed, and we are also small three yuan! ”

This person is not polite at all, and there are not a few students who show such a meaning.

Meng Zhongting frowned, and thought that he had passed the test, and he didn't embarrass Beidi, so he straightened his waist; Wu Li only cares about the four treasures of the study room placed on the table, which are exquisite and superior, and other people's words should not be heard; Wei Ming was even less anxious, rolled up his cuffs, and grinded the ink calmly.

Shen Pan was also present today, he was sitting close to Ye Yongqu, looking at the two of them from a distance as if they didn't take the exam seriously, but he was very calm, he directly threw his hand at Ye Yongqu and said: "Yesterday's homework was delayed for a day, so it's better not to delay it for too long today." Sir, let's get started, after a few students, there are still unclear points in the Analects, and I want to consult with Mr. ”

Ye Yongqu said hello and said, "Since I mentioned the Analects, I will come up with a chapter question of the Analects, and the two of you don't need to be nervous, just answer at will." ”

The title of the chapter is to take off two or more chapters of the two couplets in the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" as the title of the eight-strand text. Many of these questions are long, complex in content, and have a variety of clues[1]. Ye Yongqu said that he would answer casually, but if he really answered casually, he would not be able to get by.

And Ye Yongqu opened his mouth and said: "Just the third and fourth chapters of "For Politics"! ”

only said the name, and did not even mention the content of the article.

Everyone present, Hulala, all turned their heads to look at the three people from the north.
