Three days later, Zhang Yi put on the new clothes that Zhang Lin had prepared for himself, and the two of them each brought a bookcase and went to the Longbow City County Academy of Literature together.

The Great Zhou Dynasty governed a hundred countries, and the system of the hundred countries was different, in addition to paying tribute, the imperial examination system was formulated in accordance with the unified formulation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The imperial examination is divided into six rounds, the township examination, the county examination, the government examination, the meeting examination, the palace examination, and the imperial examination. The corresponding titles are Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, Gongshi, Jinshi, and Imperial Bachelor.

The township examination and the county examination are held in the county academy, after the township examination is completed, the county examination will be opened three days later, and many scholars are first born as children, and then promoted to Xiucai. Zhang Yi and Zhang Lin wanted to participate in the township and county examinations in a row and get the show.

The township test is not very difficult, the assessment is not strict, and it is divided into two rounds. In the first round, as long as the text is smooth, you can pass the test, and in the second round, you only need to choose any one of the poems, fu, policies, and scriptures to answer, and the examiner selects the top 150 to pass, and those who pass can get the general children's degree issued by the dynasty.

Counties, counties, prefectures, and countries, from low to high, are the common administrative region levels of the Tian Yuan Continent. And different counties and counties, counties and counties, states and states, and even countries and countries, are divided into upper, middle and lower grades.

In the case of the lowest-level counties, 150 children can be admitted to the upper counties, while only 50 children can be admitted to the lower counties.

Longbow City can be regarded as a first-class big city in the underflowing country, it is the capital of Baima County, the county literary academy and the provincial literary academy are not far apart, both are located not far from the city lord's mansion, this township examination can obtain one hundred and fifty children, many students have rushed to the county literary academy from home since yesterday.

Although the earthen house of Zhang Lin's family is dilapidated, the geographical location is good, after all, it was given by the wealthy Zhang Mansion at the beginning, and it only takes an hour to walk to the county academy.

The county academy in Longbow City covers a vast area, with red walls and green tiles, dotted with green all around, full of vitality, more expensive than some noble families, and a little worse than famous families. However, among the county literary institutes, they are shrouded in powerful literary movements, and the general famous families are not as profound as their heritage.

By the time the two of them arrived at the county academy, there were already many candidates gathered in front of the academy, and there were probably thousands of people densely packed together, and they really had the demeanor of a high-class county. Among these people, most of them are teenagers, and there are also some old people, Zhang Yi shook his head secretly, he knows better than anyone that studying and practicing martial arts and farming are the same thing, or have something to do with talent.

The candidates were divided into small groups, and in general, into two large groups.

The clothes and ornaments on the young men on the left are obviously more luxurious and expensive, these are the children of the rich family and their vassals. In the past, Zhang Yi must be the most dazzling figure on the left, even the son of the county guard family would smile at him.

The teenagers on the right are a little shabby, most of them are shabby, and many of them even have pudding on their clothes.

Zhang Yi pulled Zhang Lin to the right and stood slightly, Zhang Lin's face changed slightly, but he didn't say anything against it. Since the young master can think about it like this, he either lets go of everything he had before, or buries everything in his heart, no matter what kind of change, it means that he has changed.

Sometimes, change is a good thing.

"Isn't this Zhang Yi, the young master of the wealthy Zhang Mansion?

The voice was crisp with a hint of weakness, and everyone looked up at the person who spoke, and from the center of the left side stepped out a young man dressed in a brocade and ribbon. The appearance is quite delicate, but there is a weak look between the eyebrows, and at first glance, it is hollowed out by the wine.

"Isn't this the son of Chen Xiangwen of the Chen Mansion, how can you provoke a poor disciple?" asked one of the candidates on the right in a whisper.

A person beside him hurriedly replied in a low voice: "You don't know, this son is the son of the declining wealthy Zhang Mansion." It was precisely because of the advantage of Zhang's Mansion that this Chen Mansion was promoted from a prestigious family to a famous family so quickly. ”

"I see, this Chen Xiangwen is so shameless!" The man at the beginning no longer called Chen Xiangwen Gongzi, and said sharply, "Chen Fu got the advantage of Zhangfu, not only did he not thank Zhangfu, but now he even fell into the stone and suppressed Zhangfu's son." ”

"Shh......h Don't talk nonsense, the Chen Mansion is now covering the sky in Longbow City, we are all children of the poor family, so it's better not to get into trouble. ”

"Hey...... One's eyes are bigger than one's stomach.. ”

Nine times out of ten, the candidates on the left knew Zhang Yi, and when they saw Zhang Yi standing on the right, although they didn't say hello, no one made a sarcastic voice. At this moment, seeing Chen Xiangwen sarcastically speaking against Zhang Yi, the expressions on everyone's faces were different.

The people who laughed and held their feet came closer and more to Chen Xiangwen's side.

The candidates who were unwilling to fall into the lower stone, and couldn't even see Chen Xiangwen acting like this, unconsciously moved away from them.

Zhang Yi's face did not change his color and did not speak. Zhang Lin was angry that Chen Xiangwen opened his mouth to provoke, but seeing that Zhang Yi had never spoken, it was not easy to open his mouth to criticize, otherwise he would lose his identity and would be laughed at and despised.

Seeing Zhang Lin's breath-holding appearance, Zhang Yifang knew that he had to speak, and now that he was a descendant of Zhang's mansion, he couldn't lose his identity in vain.

Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Chen Xiangwen, this year is nineteen years and three months old, I have participated in three township examinations and failed to pass, and today is the fourth time you have participated in the township examination." Chen Gongzi, I heard that you are the only one in the Chen family's family who has not become a child, I wonder if you have the confidence to pass the township test today?"

"Mere ......"

Chen Xiangwen was so angry that he almost said the words "Township Test", but fortunately, the scholar next to him hurriedly pulled his shirt. If he dares to say such a rebellious thing within the scope of the county academy, if he is heard, the Chen Mansion will not be able to protect him.

Zhang Yi turned his head away and stopped looking at him.

The whole confrontation was light and light, but Chen Xiangwen lost completely. Zhang Lin looked at the young master who was half a head shorter than him on his side, his eyes were full of appreciation and admiration, and he secretly said in his heart, old lady, the young master has grown up, and he will definitely get ahead in the future and shine in Zhangfu.

The children of the poor family on one side stretched out their thumbs one after another, they all admired Zhang Yi's approach, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he had the atmosphere of a scholar.

"This little bastard, when the township test is over, I will definitely break his leg. Chen Xiangwen was furious, in front of so many people, Zhang Yi told him that he had failed the three township exams, it was too much of a slap in the face.

A group of rich sons on the side had strange expressions on their faces, they naturally knew about the deeds of the Chen Mansion next to them, but no one had ever said it in front of everyone, it really made people want to laugh and embarrassed to laugh.

The scholar beside Chen Xiangwen is named Chen Cong, who is very clever on weekdays, and when he heard Chen Xiangwen say this, he hurriedly stopped: "Childe, be cautious." If he had passed the township test today and become a child, we would not have been able to attack him so openly. ”

"Chen Cong, you kid is really smart, I almost made a mistake again. Chen Xiangwen patted Chen Cong's shoulder and grinned: "Hmph, Zhang Yi, this kid dares to use the township test to hit me, today I am 100% sure that I will pass the township test and become a child, see who dares to use this matter to attack me and attack Chen Mansion in the future." ”

Chen Cong smiled and nodded, Chen Xiangwen was fully prepared, he naturally knew that Chen Xiangwen could pass the township test.

When all the candidates from all directions rushed to the county academy, they were densely lined up at the door, and more than 1,000 candidates gradually registered and took the license from the guard at the door.

The Great Zhou Dynasty governed a hundred countries, and the imperial examination was open to anyone, regardless of whether the candidate was a slave or not. Anyone can participate, but you still have to register to receive your pass. If someone does not register, enters the exam without authorization, and is arrested, it is not his personal problem, even his family and country will be punished by the dynasty.

The children of the poor family all knew Zhang Yi's identity, and they admired his unfazed performance very much, and automatically let the two of them go ahead. Zhang Yi Zhang Lin nodded in thanks, received the exam card in the registration roster of the guard office, and stepped into the county academy.

Chen Xiangwen has been paying attention to Zhang Yi, and when he saw that his little servant Zhang Lin actually received the exam card and entered the county academy, he snorted: "Chen Cong, this Zhang Yi actually let his scholar also participate in the township examination, I can't be compared to him, you can also participate in the township examination with me." ”

When Chen Cong heard this, he instantly felt a wave of happiness. As a servant of the Chen Mansion, although he knew that he was much better than this young master, he didn't dare to participate in the township test privately, so he never had a literary position. I didn't expect that what I achieved today was the son of Zhangfu.

"Thank you Childe, I will definitely be admitted to the Tongsheng Examination, and I will not be ashamed of Childe. Chen Cong was stunned for a moment, and instantly showed his loyalty.

"Well, let's go in, it's the same whether you pass the exam or not, I'm just afraid that kid will steal my limelight. Chen Xiangwen walked in front of him indifferently, the joy on Chen Cong's face froze instantly, but his footsteps kept following him, and he came to the front of the guards, registering and receiving the license.

The candidates entered the county academy, and the team was divided into two columns and went forward.

Entering the gate of the county academy, the two guards who were guarding the door stood aside, and when they saw the candidates walking in front of them, they would say, "Take out the exam card and open the bookcase." ”

Zhang Yi walked up to the guard, took out the exam card, and opened the bookcase. The guard lowered his body to inspect the bookbox, which listed some brushes, ink ingots, inkstones, pen holders, pen holders, paperweights, and the food prepared by Zhang Lin in the corner, the guard nodded, handed the bookbox back to Zhang Yi, and signaled that he could go over.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Lin also passed the inspection of the guards.

Zhang Yi followed the candidates in front of him to the lobby of the county academy and waited for all the candidates to pass the test.

Except for when Zhang Lin was provoked by Chen Xiangwen, he had always been very calm, but as soon as he stepped into the gate of the county academy, his face was a little crimson and he was very excited.

"Meditation, this state is not suitable for taking exams. Zhang Yi reminded in a timely manner.

Zhang Lin nodded, suppressed his excitement, turned his head to see the calm Zhang Yi, and said curiously: "Xiao Yi, why aren't you nervous at all?"

"There are thousands of ravines in the heart, how can you be afraid of thousands of waves?"
