Chapter 39, County Exam!
"Hey, I heard that chivalrous and courageous Xing Gongzi burned the lease deed."
"Really?"
"That's still fake! Isn't the cousin of my uncle's second son a tenant of the Xing family? ”
"Natural disasters and man-made disasters, we little people are sad in this disaster year......
"How many lives have been saved by this son of the Xing family."
"That's it, living bodhisattva."
In various teahouses and restaurants in Hanjiang County, many people are talking about this matter.
This is the first time in many years that someone has burned a lease!
As a result, it soon became a hot event in the whole county.
In particular, the promoter of this matter is a well-known figure in Hanjiang County, a chivalrous and courageous Xing Gongzi!
But there are also many people who think that Xing Meng is selling his reputation.
Of course, most of the people who scolded were landlord families, and the common people didn't have time to praise them, so how could they do this kind of thing without backache when they stood and talked?
Xing Meng is too lazy to pay attention to these, he can't bite a dog or a person bite, right?
Fall!
However, in the process, his fame has increased considerably.
Three or four days later, the Spring Festival. The eldest brother Xing Wu did not go home, Xing Meng had a reunion dinner with his father, second sister, and family.
The Xing family also wrapped red envelopes for each subordinate according to the usual practice and begged for a lottery.
After the Chinese New Year, there is only nearly a month left before the county exam, and Xing Meng will also pay all his attention to the county exam.
The content of the imperial examination here is divided into two parts: scriptures and poems. In terms of scriptures, there are not many places to play, what is needed is to memorize the essence of the sages' books, mainly fill-in-the-blank questions and material essay questions, but the answers are all the content of the sages' books.
These days, Xing Meng picked up the scroll, collected the content of the exam papers over the years, and opened the brushing mode.
The imperial examination is similar to the college entrance examination, and the tactics of Wenshan questions are also very effective, and the study during this period is also very prominent.
On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.
This day is the day of the Dasheng County test. The streets were full of people and lively, and the scholars from ten miles and eight townships in Hanjiang County flocked to the county to take the exam. Businessmen also took advantage of this opportunity to set up stalls and vendors, and organized buying and selling.
Xing Meng packed up his belongings early in the morning and took a car to the examination room. The examination room is in the county, not far away, and the presiding officer is Li County Order.
In front of the examination room, several soldiers-like personnel with guns and knives inspected every soldier who took the exam, and if there was a substitute exam, a cheat sheet, etc., they would be immediately arrested and imprisoned, awaiting judgment.
"Xing Gongzi!" Some people who knew Xing Meng shouted excitedly.
Suddenly, thousands of eyes were on him. Xing Meng's reputation is well-known in Hanjiang County, so at the moment when this person spoke out, many eyes also moved.
"Gongzi Xing? Is the chivalrous Xing Gongzi? ”
"Yes, it's still Xing Gongzi who burned the lease deed! It turns out that he also came to the exam, and it is really an honor to be in the same exam room with him! ”
"I didn't expect to come to the county test, and I could meet our young heroes in Hanjiang County, it's not in vain!"
The scholars began to discuss, and the scene was chaotic.
Xing Meng hurriedly bowed his hand and thanked everyone. He saw that there were also classmates in the crowd who knew him, like Yao Tianci, but they were standing far away, for fear of being noticed by Xing Meng.
Since Xing Mengxia's reputation for righteousness and courage came out, almost everyone in Hanjiang County knows that Yao Tianci was also punished by his father for the matter of Xing Meng at the poetry meeting, and knelt in the ancestral hall for three full days!
So now that he sees Xing Meng, he can't hide even if he has the slightest bit of arrogance.
Xing Meng didn't care, in his eyes, Yao Tianci was a school bully, clean up, just be obedient and not cause trouble, if you still cause trouble, then clean up.
"Quiet!"
The inspecting soldier snorted coldly, which stopped the scene from getting out of control.
As everyone returned to order, Xing Meng also walked into the examination room and found his place.
After sitting down, the officials of the county government handed out the test papers in turn. Xing Meng took the test paper, and after filling in the name and other information, he first went through the entire test paper to make sure that he knew it in his heart.
Then, he dipped his pen in ink and began to answer the questionnaire.
If you follow the dog-crawling handwriting written by the original owner, even if the answers are correct, you may not be able to pass the test. Xing Meng has insisted on reading and practicing calligraphy in the past few months, but the effect is obvious.
The test paper is divided into three main sections.
The first part is to fill in the blanks of the scriptures.
The second part is the appreciation of the works of modern masters.
The third part is poetry writing.
The first two parts are all memorized by rote, Xing Meng followed the map, followed the knowledge in his memory, and answered very smoothly, smoothly.
The title of the third part of the poem writing is "In the seventh year of Dasheng's Kaixuan, the frontier was in turmoil, the demons invaded, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the people were displaced, so the poem was composed against this background".
Xing Meng looked at the title, pondered for a long time, and immediately began to write.
"Spring Hope"
The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is deep in spring.
When I feel the tears, I hate the birds.
The beacon fire lasted for three months, and the family letter was worth 10,000 dollars.
The whitehead scratching is shorter, and the hairpin is overwhelming.
Perfect!
Although the last sentence "white-headed scratching is shorter" is written by an old man, Xing Meng can be said to be a character portrayed in the third person, not written by himself, but it is not a big deal.
After answering the question, Xing Meng carefully checked and proofread it twice, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed in the paper.
For a whole day of answering questions, Xing Meng walked out of the examination room in less than three hours.
"Who is this boy, who came out so early, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to pass the exam!"
"Is this self-abandonment? The most taboo thing in answering questions is to be impetuous, run out in such a little time, it's strange to be able to get in! ”
The people guarding outside the examination room saw someone walking out from afar, and they started talking for a while.
When Xing Meng got closer, everyone saw that it was actually Xing Gongzi! So, the conversation changed.
"I'll just say, submit the paper in advance, it's definitely not a layman, it turns out to be Xing Gongzi, the leader of the Hanjiang Poetry Club, then it makes sense!"
"Xing Gongzi handed in the paper early, which shows that he is confident in his heart, has poetry and books in his belly, and has a spirit in his pen, it seems that Xing Gongzi should get a good score in the exam this time."
"Hmph, maybe you pretend to be, you may not be able to go to high school!" Someone said disdainfully.
The man had just finished speaking.
Suddenly, dozens of eyes shot around him, like a sword stabbing at him, making him like a man's back, cold sweat shaking off, and his back seemed to penetrate dozens of holes, which was cold.
"I'm talking nonsense, talking nonsense......" The man laughed, quickly squeezed through the crowd, and walked away.
Xing Meng is now well-known in the county, and when he said this, he was undoubtedly looking for abuse.
……
……
Outside Hanjiang County, Shili Pavilion.
Two horses, one red and one white, rode side by side.
"Brother, this is Hanjiang County? Such a poor and sour little place is also worth the two of us, I really hate it! ”
On the white horse, sat a woman with a fiery figure, her slender and round legs clinging to the horse's belly, showing amazing elasticity.
She looked at the handsome man riding a red horse, her eyes showed a charming color, her delicate lips pursed, and her tone was very disapproving.
"The above has to set up a 'harvesting point' here, we are responsible for harvesting enough qi and blood, and the rest is in charge of that." The handsome man said expressionlessly.
"I understand, people are not stupid. There was a drought here last summer, a heavy snowfall in the winter, and this year will certainly not be optimistic, and many people will die. We harvested them before the natural disaster came, at least we didn't let them die in vain, so much rich qi and blood were wasted, but it was a very big sin. ”
The hot woman rode the horse, her round buttocks fell together, and every time she touched the horse's back, she squeezed out an amazing arc.
"However, qi and blood resources are not inexhaustible, and we cannot take them arbitrarily. It is also a troublesome matter to avoid insufficient supply of qi and blood in the future. The handsome man said.
"Hehe, what's so hard about that? When the population is insufficient, it is ordered that they must reproduce, and if they do not obey, they will be killed! In less than a year, the number of people will grow rapidly, and it will not have any effect at all, and it will grow faster than leeks after the spring rains! ”
Hot women don't care about authenticity.
"This time the task of setting up a 'harvest point' is not only us, but also other people, and our side cannot be left behind." The handsome man's eyes suddenly darkened, and he said.
"People know." The hot woman is coquettish and authentic.
Da-da-da-da!
Two horses began to shuttle through various towns outside Hanjiang County.
