As soon as July passes, it is August, and the autumn exams are coming.

Sun Xuewen came out of the academy and went to pick him up Weng Weng, Weng Weng will not go to the 'Land Opera Troupe' today, he didn't want Weng Weng to be too tired before, but recently he didn't have any hard work at all, but was very happy, he began to feel that Weng Weng could do what he liked, very good!

Suddenly there was a sneer and whispers from beside him. He knew that those people ridiculed him for wearing old clothes, using a bald pen, and studying mediocre, so he had to occupy a place in the academy and not leave......

He didn't look back, and walked over calmly.

It is difficult for the family to provide him with education, and his father, mother and Weng Weng have spent all these years frugally, but they don't want to waste his talent.

yes, talent.

The family said that he had talent, the younger brother memorized an article, three days to memorize badly, he seriously pondered a few times, can memorize three or five percent, this talent can not be said to be a prodigy, but it is not bad, even into the Kaifeng better academy, he is not worse than others,

However, as long as you are not such a peerless genius, you need time to read hard, and you have to have books to read.

The father and mother of the family and Weng Weng have made great efforts, but the books he can read are still very few, even if he can get all the books, he memorizes them well, but so what? Others have more books, enlightenment is earlier than him, there is a gentleman at home who specially teaches, he only began to read at the age of thirteen or fourteen, how can he compare with others?

If he wants books, he must have money, and without books, it will be difficult for him to fight with those scholars.

It's not just a book, you can use bamboo chopsticks and sand to learn words, and the paper that practices words can be used repeatedly on both sides of the front, although it may not be as good as people who write well on paper and ink, but they can barely cope with the past, but they can't always use no paper at all, and then save, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone still cost a lot of money.

He has to pay the bundle when he goes to school, he can chew more than the whole family for a year, and the early years are fine, but now Weng Weng is old, his younger brother is going to marry a wife and have children, and his sister is going to marry, he can't be so selfish, let the whole family support himself all the time.

Sun Xuewen was expressionless, but he had the answer in his heart, he relied on his talent to read Xiucai, which was already very good, so he couldn't expect too much, just give himself this chance, if he won, invite the heavens, if he doesn't win, then it's okay, he will accept his fate, anyway, as a Xiucai, he can be a teacher at the worst, and the hard work of the family over the years has not been in vain.

The autumn exams are coming as scheduled.

The students are waiting for this opportunity for the carp to jump over the dragon gate, a difficult exam is over, some people leave the examination room, ecstatic, some cry bitterly, and the white-haired old man sighs, they are like this, they have been taking the imperial examination for a lifetime, and today it is just an obsession, even if it is a real gold list title, I am afraid that I will not be able to be an official, and I will not even have a few years to live.

His Majesty is compassionate, and most of those who fail to pass the examination like this will give a favor and reward a birth qualification.

These are all good, in fact, as long as they come out safely, it will be very good, countless people are carried out of the examination room, and even, every year because of the imperial examination because of the death of Huangquan is unknown.

When Sun Xuewen walked out of the examination room, he was dizzy, stood against the wall for a while, and was hugged by his father, then he came back to his senses, sat down slowly, and reluctantly said: "Dad, I, I ......"

He gritted his teeth, and finally finished speaking, "I'm afraid I won't be able to hit this time!" Dad, I'm sorry, you scolded me! ”

His father was stunned, helped his son to move his legs and feet, and said softly: "Dad doesn't scold you, my son is already a showman, and he is the most promising in our Sun family." ”

Sun Xuewen's lips moved, he didn't say more, got into the donkey cart, let his father lead the donkey, and the father and son had their own thoughts and went home slowly.

This time the topic was quite difficult, and after he finished writing the thesis, he felt a little dry and had nothing to say. There was one more additional test this year, and he actually felt that it was okay, it was easier than the main question, and he thought that he had answered it well, but from the beginning, the examiner said that the additional test questions could be done or not, and they were not included in the score...... I don't know why the examiner suddenly asked these questions.

The time for the autumn exam is limited, and the serious questions are eager to be checked ten or eight times, and it is estimated that many candidates will not pay too much attention to the so-called additional questions.

When Sun Xuewen left the examination room, he still heard the little boy in the room on the left complain, saying that he couldn't understand the last page at all, and he didn't answer a single one, so the people around him comforted him, saying that it was additional and not included in the score, and most of the people who didn't answer were the same.

Time flies, and soon it is time to release the list.

Sun Xuewen was nervous, but the whole family still went out together, went to see the list, through the sea of people, the group finally came to the vicinity of the Tribute Courtyard, countless people looked forward to it, and finally saw the people of the Tribute Courtyard take the red list.

In an instant, thousands of people held their breath, at this moment, even the wind didn't move, and soon, some people laughed in ecstasy, some people cried, Sun Xuewen watched in silence as the third uncle squeezed into the crowd, for a long time, waiting until his legs and feet were stiff, and finally saw the third uncle panting out.

His father calmly asked, "How is it?" ”

The third uncle was a little tangled, and his face was strange.

He Weng Weng sighed, but raised a smile: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid if you don't pass the exam, our Ah Hu is still young, and it will be the same if we wait for another three years." ”

Everyone should be.

Sun Xuewen's eyes were red, and he wanted to tell Weng Weng that he would not take the test, but before the words came out, Weng Weng smiled and said: "We are easier than other candidates, at least we don't have to travel thousands of miles to Beijing to retake the exam, the home is in Kaifeng, and now the conditions are good, Weng Weng's owner is the master of charity, he is generous, we have five taels of silver per month, and we will officially debut in the future, I heard that there is a large bounty." ”

He doesn't want to be greedy for bounties, just the silver he gets now is enough for his grandson to study, besides, the family has a lot of strength, everyone is united, and they are working hard in one place, can't they provide for a scholar!

"Huh, there is no one on the red list."

The third uncle gasped.

Mr. Sun was so angry that he wanted to beat his little son, he knew this at a glance, and he had to say it a second time!

"But, there's on the gold list!"

"Huh?"

Sun Xuewen was also stunned, "Gold list? What do you mean? ”

"Today, not only did the red list post in front of the Gongyuan, but also a gold list, a total of thirty people were on the list, our Ah Hu was in the twenty-nineth, people let him go, said a lot of words, and I couldn't figure it out the third uncle, but people said that from today onwards, our Ah Hu is not only a person, but also a quasi-jinshi, saying that he will take another exam, if he can pass the exam, His Majesty will directly give the jinshi and the first, and the official residence will be seven grades."

The Sun family was stunned, only hearing the word Qipin, Mr. Sun almost fainted, not to mention Qipin, it is Jiupin, and his family has changed its door!

Sun Xuewen was also in a trance, there was a feeling of dreaming, a little official came over in person, with a smile on his face, politely gave him a notice, and also advised: "Don't miss the exam, there is still one more exam." ”

He let out a sigh of excitement and suddenly heard a noise in his ears.

"What's going on, what is this gold list for!"

"What is the Jinshi and the first, the imperial test will only be available next year, and it is not a Jinshi background, but a first-class, second-class Jinshi and the first, why?"

"What are these thirty people doing, and does anyone know each other!"

Not only Kaifeng, at this time, the discussion is all over the north and south of the river, however, Kaifeng has the most people on the gold list, there are thirty, and there is no one in many other places.
