"I'm ...... Where?"

Lu Ming opened his eyes and found himself lying on an exam table, wearing a shabby white coarse cloth shirt and holding a short brush in his hand.

"Here it is...... Sacred Forest Continent!"

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then he knew that he had traveled to another world, and at this time he was in the examination room of the Academy of Literature in Jiang County, Shaoming Fujiang, Suzhou, Daliang Kingdom, participating in the imperial examination for scholars.

Lu Ming looked around and found that all the candidates were concentrating on answering the questions, and they didn't notice Lu Ming at all.

Suddenly, Lu Ming felt a pain in his brain, and a huge memory suddenly came flooding up.

Lu Ming gritted his teeth and didn't make any sound, but his expression was extremely ugly, if it weren't for his strong perseverance in his previous life, I am afraid that he would not be able to bear it and faint.

After a long time, the pain gradually disappeared, and Lu Ming also regained his complexion.

"It turns out that this is a world of cultivating Confucianism, and Confucius in this world sanctified Confucianism and founded the Confucian Academy, and those who worship him as a teacher can obtain 'talent', and through 'talent', they can control the power of heaven and earth!"

"The poetry and songs of this world can be transformed into the power to kill the enemy, and after the scholar controls it, defeat the invading two major tribes of the Eastern Demon and the Southern Yi, and finally pacify the world!"

"After the death of Confucius, the Holy Academy complied with his last wish, discarded the view of the portal, accommodated the essence of a hundred schools, and established the ten heavenly scholars, scholars, scribes, talents, Hanlin, scholars, Confucians, great Confucians, semi-saints, sub-saints, and holy beings, only scholars can have talent, and talent must go to the temple to worship the saint to be able to let the saint descend, and in the process of talent empowerment, you must be careful that your talent is taken away by others, otherwise you will be taken away from the ......"

Thinking of this, Lu Ming was a little excited in his heart, he didn't expect that he would come to such a magical world.

The world also passed through the Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms and Jin dynasties, but after the Jin Dynasty, it was divided into seven countries.

At this time, Lu Ming was worried, for no other reason, at this time he was still a sixteen-year-old scholar, with a family of four walls, and he made a living by working in Jiang County.

He has an unmarried wife named Lin Xiaoyan, who is the daughter of Lin Donghai, a scholar in Jiang County, and Lin Donghai and Lu Ming's father are close friends, and they have decided on this family business since they were children, and Lu Ming has formed a deep friendship with Lin Xiaoyan since he was a child.

When Lu Ming was ten years old, his parents went out on business and accidentally contracted an epidemic and died.

Since then, Lin Donghai's attitude towards Lu Ming has changed greatly, and he no longer agrees with Lu Ming and Lin Xiaoyan, and makes insulting remarks, and the neighbors have since looked at Lu Ming coldly and often sarcastically.

Later, Lu Ming learned that Yan Weiqing, the son of the Yan family in this county, actually fell in love with Lin Xiaoyan, and when he learned that Lin Xiaoyan and Lu Ming had a marriage contract, he began to bully Lu Ming, not allowing him to do any business in Jiang County, and only let him live by working, and was nicknamed "Lu Poor Sour".

Most of the neighbors tend to be inflammatory, so naturally no one helps Lu Ming, and no one sympathizes.

So Lu Ming worked hard, determined to get ahead in Jinbang High School, and waited until he was sixteen years old to take the imperial examination.

However, more than 1,000 people participated in the imperial examination this year, while only 100 scholars were admitted to the annual scholar examination in Jiang County, and more than 40 people were unable to obtain academic degrees and could not be promoted to scholars because their talents were taken away by others every year.

According to this ratio, Lu Ming's face was a little ugly, and he felt that it would be very difficult for him to want high school, but in his previous life, he was a "champion of liberal arts" on the earth, and he had read a lot of books, so he might be able to cope with it.

Looking down at the test paper, I found that I had already answered half of the questions, and the material of the test paper was very good, so that the ink would not penetrate.

Lu Ming began to browse through the test papers, and with each question, some memories would emerge.

The county examination is the most basic imperial examination in the Liang Kingdom, and the questions in it are not difficult, and the questions in the "Analects" are all examined, and they can be answered as long as they are familiar with it and memorized it.

According to the memory I have obtained, these answered test papers are very suitable for the question, and basically there will be no mistakes.

Lu Ming was a little relieved, and the next test was a couplet, and he wrote the upper or lower couplet according to the existing couplet.

Speaking of this couplet, it originated from Meng Chang, the lord of Later Shu, who suddenly issued an order on the eve of the Spring Festival, asking the ministers to write couplets on the "peach charm board" to test their talents.

However, when the ministers wrote the couplet for Meng Chang to see, Meng Chang was not satisfied. So, he took the pen in his hand and wrote on the "peach charm board" "New Year's Yuqing, the festival number Changchun", which is the earliest Spring Festival couplet.

Lu Ming read the first question, which is an uplink:

The mountain spring on Jingquan Mountain is quiet.

If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that this is a palindrome couplet, which is the same text whether it is read forward or backwards, so the next link must also be palindrome.

"Couplet?"

The corners of Lu Ming's mouth rose slightly, in his previous life, his favorite thing to play was couplets, and he couldn't be better at this, so he immediately wrote:

The pond is clear.

Immediately followed by the second question:

The blue sky is even the water and the water is the same color.

"It's kind of interesting!"

Lu Ming became more interested, began to ponder, and wrote after a while:

The bright moon accompanies the stars and the moon, and the stars and the moon shine together.

Taking advantage of this interest, Lu Ming quickly finished the couplet test paper and entered the poetry and song test.

At first, he silently wrote the famous poems in "Dajin Poems", but Lu Ming memorized all the poems according to the memories he obtained, and soon wrote the answers.

The last question is more difficult, it is to write a poem according to the topic, there is no requirement for the necessary level, but it must be in line with the topic.

The title on the test paper is "Spring Festival", which reminds Lu Ming of the lively scene of setting off fireworks, playing with firecrackers, and pasting couplets on both sides of the gate during the Spring Festival, and a poem was born immediately:

Yuan Ri

The sound of firecrackers in the year old,

The spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu.

Thousands of doors and thousands of pupils,

Always replace the new peach with the old charm.

In the poem, a golden aura emerged and gathered for a long time.

"Is this talent?"

Lu Ming's face changed slightly, and then he put down the test paper and ignored it.

Only by becoming a scholar can you control your talent, so the talent condensed in this poem cannot be used for yourself, and since this is the case, there is no need to take it seriously.

This poem was written by Wang Anshi on the earth, anyway, this world has not experienced the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, so naturally there are no Tang poems and Song lyrics.

"Knock! knock!"

Suddenly, three bells rang, which means that the exam time has ended, and many candidates put the test papers on the table and left the examination room one after another.

"The exam is over so soon?"

Lu Ming looked up at the window, it turned out that it was already evening unconsciously, and he was writing very slowly with a brush, so it took a lot of time.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming packed up the four treasures of the study room and put them in his backpack, and then left the examination room with the other candidates.

At the same time, Lu Ming was also thinking about those questions, and when he confirmed that there were basically no mistakes, he was relieved and walked out of the gate of the Academy of Literature.

"Lu Qiansour, you finally came out, how did you do in the exam?"

A piercing voice sounded, and Lu Ming looked for it, and saw a young man in brocade walking over, looking very arrogant.

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and sorted out his memories about this person, it was Yan Weiqing, the eldest son of the Yan family, who was very literary and was praised as "Jiangxian prodigy".

"It's okay to pass the test. ”

Lu Ming replied like this, still a little confident in himself.

"Really?"

Yan Weiqing sneered and said, "Lu Qiansour, don't have any luck, you can't go to high school!"

"Why?"

"Huh...... Don't forget, Luo Xianling has a friendship with my Yan family, as long as our Yan family doesn't agree, your name will never appear on the gold list, do you understand when I say this?"

Yan Weiqing laughed after speaking, shook his fan and strode away, and the others also cast mocking glances at Lu Ming.

"You ......"

Lu Ming's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and at this time he thought that the Luo County Order of Jiang County had a deep friendship with the Yan family, and this year's chief judge was a member of the Yan family.

"It's really unlucky!", Lu Ming lost interest in an instant.

"Xiao Ming, don't listen to that guy's nonsense! Every year in the imperial examination, there will be saints sitting in the holy courtyard to look down on the world, how dare they deceive the saints!"

A thin scholar spoke, his face full of disapproval, this person's name is "Chen Jun", and he is Lu Ming's classmate and friend.

"Is that so?"

Lu Ming was skeptical, could it be that the saints of this world had the ability to "see the whole world"? This is too outrageous, right? Taking a step back, even if the saints had this ability, they would be able to know all kinds of things that happened in Jiangxian without any mistakes?

"Let's go, don't think about it!"

Chen Jun said with a smile: "Wait for the two of us to go to high school together, and see what else the surnamed Yan has to say!"

"Alright, let's go home!"

Lu Ming didn't have the heart to continue to think about it, so he went home with Chen Jun.

Passing by a "Zhu Ji Restaurant" on the side of South Street, it is the place where Lu Ming works, and he came by the way, but today is the day of pay.

"Shopkeeper Zhu, please settle my salary. ”

"Lu Ming, you're here. ”

Shopkeeper Zhu was a man in a robe, and after seeing Lu Ming, he smiled and said, "Lu Ming, I'm really sorry, you have been fired, as for the salary...... Naturally, there is no more. ”

"Dismissal?", Lu Ming's face changed.

Chen Jun immediately said angrily: "Shopkeeper Zhu, what are you kidding, Lu Ming worked hard in your house, and in the end you actually crossed the river and demolished the bridge!"

"Chen Gongzi, I can't be blamed for this!"

Shopkeeper Zhu said with a smile: "You also know that the Yan family is powerful, our restaurant is only operated on a small basis, but we don't dare to offend the Yan family, the Yan family has already spoken, and I can't disobey it, right? ”

"You ......"

Chen Jun gritted his teeth in anger, but he had nothing to say, because the Yan family was indeed a soil overlord, and no one in Jiang County dared to offend.
