Jia Zheng sighed in his heart, and asked Jia Lu again: "Is there anything you don't understand?" You've read so many articles in such a short period of time, I'm afraid you won't be able to understand it.

To do learning, we must talk about gradual progress, we must not be in a hurry, it is better to be greedy and chew more, it is better to pick up three or two good articles and eat them thoroughly. ”

Jia Lu said: "There are indeed many things I don't understand, and there are many allusions that I haven't heard, I have already written them down, and I will ask my grandfather when I go to school."

Although he couldn't fully comprehend the beauty of each text, his nephew felt that there was a lot of benefit from reading more, so he asked the second master to help borrow some more. ”

As he spoke, he took out a notebook.

Jia Zheng took a look at it, and sure enough, he didn't understand what part of the article was recorded in detail on it, and there was a blank space at the back, obviously for the record after the consultation was finished.

"Good, good! Sure enough, it's a heart! Brother Lu doesn't have to wait to ask your grandfather. You can also ask Zhan Guangshan and hire them.

Didn't I tell you last time? They are also quite talented, if you don't understand something, just ask, they will teach you. ”

Jia Lu agreed and said, "Second master, I still have something to ask for the second master." ”

Jia Zhengdao: "You just have to say! ”

Jia Lu said: "My nephew is not able to do anything, and I want to try to participate in the county exam next spring, I don't know what the second master thinks?" ”

Jia Zheng nodded and said, "It's okay." Although you have only been studying for a year, my grandfather often praises you for learning quickly, so it doesn't hurt to try it next year. I'll help you get things like your resume in check. ”

It's not that Jia Lu can't do it, the county exam is at best a primary school graduation level in later generations, so the difficulty is not high, as long as you can write an article, you can basically pass the sentence smoothly, and the pass rate is basically about eighty percent.

The county examination is the first of the imperial examinations, and only after passing the county examination can they be regarded as children, and they can participate in the next prefectural and hospital examinations. Only after passing the examination can it be regarded as a meritorious talent.

Looking at Jia Lu who was standing there with a humble face, Jia Zheng couldn't help but think of his eldest son Jia Zhu again.

Jia Zhu also took the county exam at the age of eleven, and entered the school at the age of fourteen.

It's a pity that God is jealous of talents, and he fell ill before he was twenty years old.

It was precisely because of Jia Zhu's untimely death that Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang believed that Jia Zheng forced Jia Zhu to study too harshly when Jia Zhu was a child, and he fell ill.

Jia Zheng was extremely filial and didn't dare to refute Jia's mother's words, so he had to let Jia's mother spoil Jia Baoyu.

At this time, Jia Zheng secretly hoped that Jia Lu could work hard to gain fame by himself, which could be regarded as making up for his regrets in Jia Zhu, and also let Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang see that in the end, diligent learning would not kill people.

However, the show is easy to test, but it is difficult to lift people, and the ratio of show talent is about fifty to one, which means that each state can only produce ten people in three years.

I have to wait for Jia Lu to come back from the exam, and then reason with Jia's mother, Jia Zheng really can't wait.

Do you want to sign up for Jia Baoyu by the way, so that he can participate in the county test?

Even if you don't let Baoyu go, you have to let him have more contact with Jia Lu!

Even the two girls around Jia Lu have followed the reading and writing, Jia Baoyu can be more or less affected, right?

Jia Lu naturally didn't know about Jia Zheng's psychological activities, so he said something and sent Jia Zheng away to breathe a sigh of relief.

Qingwen smiled and asked, "Are there any guests this time?" ”

Jia Lu said: "I don't think it's there." ”

Sure enough, no one came at night.

Somehow, Ping'er ran to the west room early and fell asleep, leaving Qingwen in the house to serve.

When Jia Lu lay down, Qingwen also got into the quilt, but she didn't hurry to blow out the lamp, but looked at Jia Lu and asked, "Third master, are you really going to take the exam next year?" ”

Jia Lu smiled: "Can it be fake?" ”

Qingwen said: "I heard that in the examination room, one pass is not allowed to come out for nine days and seven nights, eating, drinking, and Lazar are all in a small trumpet the size of a palm, third master, you are so young, how can you stay up......"

Jia Lu also turned to look at Qingwen: "What, is this distressed?" ”

"Are you just a little worried...... "Qingwen muttered quietly.

Jia Lu said with a smile: "What you said is that the township test and the meeting test are so strict." However, it is not that he has been locked up in the tribute courtyard for nine consecutive days, and he has to rest for three days in the middle.

The county test is much easier, divided into five games, the first is the main field, the second is the initial recovery, the third is the resumption, and the fourth and fifth games are the continuous repetition.

Each test is only one day, and I will come back on the day after the test, and I will take the next test in a few days.

Of course, if you can't take the last test, you don't need to take the next test.

Also, the county examination in general places does not need to be taken in the Gongyuan, and there is no single room number as you said, but it is one person and one table, and the candidates are doing farther.

But we are in Shenjing, so naturally we use the Gongyuan as the examination room. It's only one day in it, and it's nothing. ”

After listening to Jia Lu's explanation, Qingwen said, "It's not about the same." Otherwise, it's all children going to the exam, how can they afford to go home for a few days in a row? ”

Jia Lu smiled: "Who told you that they are all children?" The county exam was better, and during the hospital exam, many fifty or sixty-year-old white-bearded old boys went to the Xiucai exam with crutches! ”

Qingwen made up the scene of the old man and the teenage child taking the same exam, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"The third master knows so much!"

Jia Lu said: "You learn words hard, you will study more in the future, and you will know more." It's a pity that women in this dynasty can't participate in the imperial examination, otherwise Qingwen is so smart that she will definitely be able to take the female champion. ”

Qingwen said angrily: "The third master is making fun of others again." ”

Jia Rui said: "It's not a joke, there is a story called "The Female Concubine", which is written about a woman named Feng Suzhen who entered the examination room by mistake in order to save her lover and won the top prize. ”

As he spoke, he sang: "In order to save Li Lang from his homeland, who expected the champion in the emperor list ......"

Who knew that after singing two sentences, I heard Ping'er's voice coming: "Third master, go to bed early, why are you still singing at night?" ”

Jia Lu agreed and pinched Qingwen's little nose: "Look, it's all you, a little girl, who scolded me, right?" ”

Qingwen wrinkled her nose and said, "Cut~ Why can she talk to the third master when she is on duty at night, but I can't do it?" ”

Jia Lu was speechless, stunned for a while and smiled: "Okay, Ming'er, you go and ask her in person." Don't wait for Ming'er, let's go and question her now? ”

Seeing that Jia Lu was about to get up, Qingwen hurriedly held it down: "That's it, I don't know her in general...... Third master, then don't sing, you can probably tell me what kind of story the female colt is talking about? ”

Jia Lu laughed and said: "This is another ghost story, aren't you afraid that you can't sleep when you listen to it?" ”

Qingwen remembered that day when Jia Lu told her about the ghost painting, she couldn't help but be ashamed and embarrassed, and said angrily:

"That's what you did on purpose! This story is called the female colt, where the hell did it come from? If there is a colt, there must be a princess! If the third master doesn't want to talk about it, forget it! ”

Jia Lu smiled: "Okay, okay, let's talk." This story is about a daughter in Xiangyang Daotai, Huguang, whose name is Feng Suzhen. She has had a childhood sweetheart since she was a child......"
