Xu Ji's hands trembled a little, when their family played word games by themselves, his grandfather lost in the last lot, is it wise for him to draw this kind of lot?

But now he is really difficult to ride a tiger, it is a challenge he proposed, he does not dare to smoke himself, and his face is lost.

Fan Ning smiled beside him: "Senior Brother Xu, why don't I come first?" ”

Xu Ji wished that Fan Ning would draw first, but the rule was that the person who made the question drew first, and the inscription was placed in front of him.

He snorted, "Since I made the question, of course I came first." ”

He had no choice, so he gritted his teeth and pulled out a lot.

The host looked at the inscription, and hurriedly flipped through the bookcase for a long time before finding a book, he secretly shook his head in his heart, Xu Xiaoguan's luck was really bad, and he actually drew a broken intestine lot.

He said to Xu Ji: "Please recite the Book of Han, Volume 73. ”

The scholars around were silent, just joking, the elderly may read the "Book of Han" in their spare time, and the young scholars are all fighting for the imperial examination, who has time to read that kind of boring history books.

Not many people have even read the Book of Han, and they have to memorize one of them, who would know what the seventy-third article is?

Xu Ji's face was pale, his forehead was sweating, under his grandfather's strict requirements, he had indeed read the "Book of Han", and he also knew that the seventy-third volume was Wei Xian's biography, but if he wanted to memorize it himself, he couldn't do it anyway.

He now knows why his grandfather repeatedly told him not to choose a lottery in public.

At this time, he was full of remorse in his heart, why didn't he listen to his grandfather's advice, why didn't he be thick-skinned and let Fanning draw this lot first?

After standing for a long time, Xu Ji had to say with a cold face: "I will give up this question!" ”

There was a sound of regret all around, and sure enough, even Xu Xiaoguan couldn't answer.

The host pushed the inscription holder to Fan Ning again, and Fan Ning smiled and said to Zhu Pei: "You have always been lucky, help me draw a lot." ”

Juppi had never been drawn a lot, and she was itching, so she winked mischievously and smiled: "That's what you said!" Don't blame me for the bowel lot. ”

She stretched out her snow-white and delicate little hand and drew a lot for Fanning.

The host looked at the inscription and smiled: "The luck of the little official is really good, he actually drew an escape lot, please recite Wu Rong's "Red Leaves". ”

The most difficult of the last sign is called the broken intestine sign, and the easiest is called the escape sign, which is about the same difficulty as the top grade sign.

Zhu Pei's face was flushed with excitement, and he said to Fan Ning triumphantly: "Thank you for taking care of you!" ”

Fanning arched his hand, "Don't thank you for your great kindness, I'll talk about it later!" ”

Ju Pei took advantage of the lack of attention and quietly kicked Fanning below, "If you want to get rid of it, no way!" ”

At this time, there was already a whisper on both sides, although this poem is also very cold, most people can't recite it, but compared to the "Book of Han" just now, it is much simpler.

Xu Ji gritted his teeth with hatred, this stinky boy took shit luck, and he actually drew an escape ticket, and he was angry to death!

Fan Ning thought about it, and recited this red leaf poem: "The dew stained frost is dry and the pieces are light, and the slanting sun ......shines brightly."

Fanning recited the whole poem in one breath, and there was applause all around, and it was obvious that Fanning had won the game.

Fan Ning glanced at Xu Ji and saw that he was unconvinced, so he said lightly: "If I defeat you like this, I guess you won't be convinced, so be it!" I'll answer the "Book of Han" question just now. ”

This turn of events made everyone dumbfounded, and Xu Ji couldn't hold his breath, "What did you say?" ”

Fan Ning ignored him and said unhurriedly: "The seventy-third volume of the Book of Han is the biography of Wei Xian, and the full text is as follows. ”

His voice was not loud, but every word was said exceptionally clearly, "Wei Xian's character is long, Lu Guo Zou is also a person, his first Wei Meng, his family is Pengcheng, and he is the king of Chu Yuan, Fu ......."

He memorized it to the end in one breath, and the applause outside became more and more enthusiastic, and the applause continued.

Xu Ji's face swelled like a pig's liver, and before Fan Ning finished reciting, he stomped his foot hard, pushed away everyone and fled in embarrassment, today he humiliated himself and lost face, I really don't know how to explain it to my grandfather?

．．．．．．．

Fan Ning and the three of them came out of the Temple of Literature, he gently held five taels of silver in his hand, and complained to the two: "This color shed is cheating, since it is called five lottery signs, I answered two lots, you should give me ten taels of silver, and in the end only give me five taels of silver, hateful!" ”

Liu Kang smiled: "Didn't they explain it to you?" The rule is that each person can only answer one signature, if a big Confucian comes and answers all his ten five-run signatures, wouldn't it be a miserable loss. ”

Fanning dismissed this explanation, "This is just an excuse, since you have to have the consciousness of being answered by someone when you put out ten sticks, you dare to put up a colorful shed with the Five Classics crosswords, you can't even afford to pay fifty times?" ”

Zhu Pei tilted his head and looked at Fan Ning for a while, sighed and said: "I am actually obsessed with a few pieces of money, since I love money so much, the host gave you Xu Ji's five hundred yuan, why don't you?" ”

Fanning snorted, raised his head and said, "It's not my money, why should you?" Although I love money, I also take it in a good way. ”

"Go! Go! Go! is obviously a money fan, and he desperately puts gold on his face. ”

At this time, Liu Kang suddenly screamed, "It's over!" Finished! ”

"What's over?"

Liu Kang said to Fan Ning with a sad face: "We forgot the appointed time, my mother has to beat me to death!" ”

Fanning was also startled, his mother gave him half an hour, it was already over, and he hurriedly said to Zhu Pei: "I'll send you on the boat first, we have to rush back." ”

Zhu Pei waved his hand generously, "You don't need to send it, I have Sister Jian to accompany me back, you can go quickly!" ”

Fan Ning and Liu Kang turned around and ran, seeing that the two of them were running in a mess, Zhu Pei giggled, but unfortunately she didn't see Fan Dumb being beaten by his mother.

．．．．．．．．

With the passage of the Shangyuan Festival, the sound of reading aloud in Yanying School has resumed again.

On this morning, Zhao Xiuwen, a scholar in Wu County, walked into the door of Yanying School with a dissatisfied face.

He walked into Liu Xuezheng's room aggressively, but no one was there, Zhao Xiuwen turned around and asked the little tea boy, "Where is your master?" ”

The little tea boy was a little scared and pointed in the direction of the latrine, "The owner of the courtyard has a bad stomach in the morning." ”

It was extremely rude to disturb others Rugong, but Zhao Xiuwen couldn't care about it, he came to the toilet and coughed heavily.

I saw the master of the Liu courtyard lazily inside: "Everything comes first and comes first, no matter how anxious Brother Zhao is, he has to line up!" ”

"Liu Lao'er, come out quickly, I have to pull out your beard one by one today."

"Huh! It seems that Zhao Guanren's family is so poor that they have no rice to cook, and they are going to kill for money. ”

After a while, the master of the Liu courtyard covered his stomach and swallowed it slowly, and Zhao Xiuwen was about to speak, but the master of the Liu courtyard said: "Wait until I wash my hands and talk to you, otherwise it will be too rude." ”

Zhao Xiuwen had to hold back his anger and wait for him, and it took him a long time before he washed his hands and came back.

Zhao Xiuwen couldn't hold back any longer, glared at him angrily and said, "Does Yanying Academy still participate in the county taxi selection competition?" Today is January 20th, and only your school in the county has not handed in the list, how many days have I been waiting for you, but you just won't come! ”

The county taxi selection competition is commonly known as the prodigy competition among the people, and the young scholars who participate in the boy examination are selected, and they are called county soldiers.

Then participate in the state capital level of the examination, if the examination is passed, it is called a tribute, and the state government recommends that he go to the capital to participate in the provincial examination.

There will be many benefits to choosing a junior county magistrate, such as free admission to the county to study, subsidies for studying, exemption from labor for parents, halving taxes, and entanglement in Beijing to participate in the children's examination.

Of course, it is not easy to become a county magistrate, and a selection competition is held every three years, and in the end there are only ten county magistrates.

Being able to go to the county to participate in the county taxi selection competition is already a great honor in itself.

Not every school can participate, and even if they can, there are only three places in each school.

Master Liu waved his hand helplessly and said, "I still want to go to you tomorrow, I have encountered a little trouble in this matter."

"What's the trouble you're going to have?"

"Let's go back to our room and talk!"

Zhao Xiuwen glared at him fiercely, refused to hand over the list, and had to come to urge him himself, if it was another school, if he didn't pay it, he would give up.

The head of the Liu Academy invited Zhao Xiuwen to his study and poured him a cup of tea, which told him about the current troubles encountered by the Yanqing Academy.

Zhao Xiuwen was stunned, "You mean, if Fan Ning wants to participate in the county taxi selection competition, the other middle school students will collectively boycott?" ”

Courtyard Master Liu nodded, "I've talked to them a few times, but these guys have a very stubborn attitude, surprisingly unified opinions, and resolutely refuse to participate with Fan Ning, which gives me a headache!" ”

Zhao Xiuwen was speechless for a long time, it was actually the students who were resisting, and he had never encountered this kind of thing.

Zhao Xiuwen's brows furrowed, "What the hell is going on?" Why did Fanning have such a big hatred with them? ”

"Isn't it the joint entrance examination system prescribed by your brother?"

Master Liu explained the annual examination in detail, and finally sighed: "I have inquired, other schools are all playing normally, the top three are all middle students, but our Yanying School has a lower student, and it is still the first place, what do you want me to do?" ”

"You can't handle the contradictions in the school yourself, and you actually blame me?"

Zhao Xiuwen said dissatisfied: "Anyway, I don't care, I came to remind me today, it is considered to be benevolent and righteous, if you Yanying Academy does not submit the list again, even if you give up this opportunity?" ”

"It's impossible to give up, I want to discuss with you, can we Yanying Academy send two teams to participate in the selection competition."

Of course, Zhao Xiuwen was angry, even if the rest of the Yanying Academy didn't participate, he had to let Fan Ning participate, and after waiting for a few months for such a good opportunity to appear, how could he let it go?

Zhao Xiuwen took a few steps with his hands in his hands, but he finally shook his head.

"The rule is that there are three places in each school, I can't make an exception for Yanying Academy, otherwise other schools won't do it, please forgive me for not being able to do it."

Courtyard Master Liu said unwillingly: "I'm not saying that only Yanying will be given more places, and the other three halls will also increase the places!" As for other ordinary schools, there is no need to think about it. ”

Zhao Xiuwen knocked on the table, "You have to understand that this kind of change will involve a lot of rules and changes, one is that it is too late in time, and more importantly, the county order and county will not agree."

Of course, I'll mention it for you, but I suggest that you don't have hope yet, and select three candidates according to the old rules, and you must give me the list tomorrow at the latest, otherwise it will be regarded as Yanying Academy's abandonment. ”

"Isn't there a chance at all?" Courtyard Master Liu asked with a frustrated expression.

Zhao Xiuwen shook his head, "The possibility is too small, I advise you not to miss this competition because of a small loss." ”
