In mid-July, the new student officer finally arrived in Jiangning City.

As soon as he entered the city, Walrus Qian settled in the examination shed, announced that the door was closed, and all visits were refused.

In fact, the college examination is not a gathering of children from a province to take the exam in the provincial capital, but a school administration going out to take the examination, and which county they go to.

However, as the legs and feet of the past generations of scholars and politicians became more and more lazy, they basically gathered the children in one place for the college examination, sometimes one government and one examination, and sometimes two schools together for the examination, also known as the hanging examination.

The reason why Walrus Qian was able to hide and not see anyone as soon as he arrived in Jiangning was because when Xuezheng went to various prefectures to conduct the college examination, there was a local prefect who was appointed to take charge of the promotion, and all kinds of affairs were also handled by the government office, so there was no need for Walrus Qian to bother with any more thought.

When the ministers and wealthy families in Jiangning City heard about the arrangement of the hospital examination, they all hated it.

During the government examination, Shen Du obstructed all kinds of requests, and even threatened to publish a list of titles, resulting in many children of the family not even passing the government examination, and they were embarrassed and lost to their grandmother's house.

When I arrived at the hospital test, not only was Shen Du, a-stirring stick, still there, but there was also an old man like Walrus who didn't eat oil and salt.

Moreover, walrus dry is much more difficult to deal with than Shen Du.

The Hai family is a five-Hanlin family, and it is a Qingliu family with red roots, and the old men of the Hai family have a bullish temper, and they dare to stand up to the emperor and can't come to the stage.

Qingliu, the last thing you are afraid of is the powerful.

For Walrus Qian, the impeachment of the imperial relatives in Tokyo City is as common as drinking water and eating, not to mention these "second-rate wealthy families" in Jiangning City?

If it is said that when Shen Du asked for strict discipline in the Ming Mansion, there were still people who would say strange things next to him, then as soon as the walrus came, the bull ghosts and snake gods in Jiangning City were immediately suppressed and did not dare to come forward.

Soon after Walrus Qianqian took office, he cooperated with Shen Du seamlessly, guarding the wealthy families in Jiangning from being airtight, leaving no chance to exploit loopholes.

For a while, the major families and wealthy families mourned all over the country, and they all sighed that this year's scientific expedition in Jiangning was really a ghost!

At the end of July, the Jiangning Mansion issued an announcement ordering the children of Jiangning Mansion to go to the government to collect the examination card.

Wei Chen ended his penance-like life in the lakeside courtyard, and together with his friend Sheng Changbai and others, he came to the Jiangning Mansion to receive the admission ticket for the college examination.

The scribes in front of them compared and copied them one by one, and the queue to receive the exam cards was long, but it was far away when it was Wei Chen's turn.

Tao Dazhi came to Wei Chen's side and said, "Brother Wei, according to the usual practice, the capital of the government examination case is a must-take student, and you can take this hospital test with your eyes closed." ”

Wei Chen smiled slightly: "Where, Lord Futai gave me this opportunity, it is the intention of cultivation, if I don't do well in the college examination, wouldn't I live up to Lord Futai's hard work?" ”

Chen Jun smiled and quipped: "Brother Wei's talent is already much higher than ours, and now he has been taught by the world-famous Mr. Qingteng, which is even more amazing." Looking at Brother Wei like this, he wants to take over the county, government, and hospital three test cases, and the sword is pointing at Xiao Sanyuan! ”

Wei Chen didn't speak, but the smile on his face was full of confidence, obviously because Chen Jun had said something.

In the imperial examination, in addition to examining the candidate's talent and learning, the candidate's reputation is also a very important off-the-field factor.

The national examinations such as the township examination, the general examination, and the palace examination are all vague when grading, but when the ranking is arranged, the examiner will still be affected by the candidate's previous reputation.

This is also why, some scholars have to sell their anthologies to the capital at any cost before the examination.

And Xiao Sanyuan, although it is not worth mentioning compared to the big Sanyuan, it is the easiest way for Wei Chen to become famous in the world now, after all, he is only one hospital test head away from Xiao Sanyuan, which can be said to be close at hand.

At this time, Tao Dazhi suddenly grabbed Wei Chen's shoulder, and said shyly: "Brother Wei, in my opinion, Xiao Sanyuan or something, most of it is luck, you must pass the test left and right, so you don't need to be so tight, I heard that Yichun Lou has recently come to a Qing people, do you want to go together tomorrow to relax and relax?" ”

Wei Chen was stunned when he heard this.

Good for you, Tao Dazhi with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

The mind is really vicious!

This is to mess with my mind before the exam!

No, it must be severely criticized!

Wei Chen was about to criticize Jiang Ningcheng's Fengyue career with Tao Dazhi, but he saw Sheng Changbai on the side step forward and glared angrily at Tao Dazhi.

"The hospital test is imminent, and I still want to go to Goolan Washe to have fun, if it spreads, will the reputation of the virtuous brother be gone? If you want to go to yourself, Hugh will teach my virtuous brother badly! ”

Sheng Changbai's righteous and awe-inspiring words fell, and Tao Dazhi immediately shrank, resigned to his promises, and looked aggrieved.

He also had good intentions, he couldn't stand Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai's ascetic life, and wanted to take them to experience Qin Huai Fengyue, how could he have thought that Sheng Changbai would react so much?

However, looking at Chen Jun's expression next to him, he seemed to be quite interested in this matter, and he could discuss it privately with him for a while.

In fact, Wei Chen is also a little moved by Tao Dazhi's proposal, even if he is too young and weak, he can follow to see the world and open his eyes.

It's a pity that there is still Sheng Changbai, a square gentleman, and Wei Chen can't leave him alone.

That's not enough friends.

Seeing the world can only be said when there is a chance later.

Wei Chen noticed that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he coughed lightly and changed the topic: "Everyone, it's boring to wait here, let me tell you a joke!" ”

Tao Dazhi and Chen Jun listened very face-to-face, and Sheng Changbai, who was a little angry, also cast his gaze.

"There was a tiger out of the mountain, depressed and returned, the tiger came forward to ask, why did not find anything? Hungry Tiger Road, I met a person on the road, but I didn't want to eat.

The group of tigers asked the reason, and the hungry tiger said, when he met a talent, he did not eat because he was too sour. The tigers laughed.

The hungry tiger said again, and then met a child, and he didn't want to eat. The tigers are puzzled, why don't children eat? The hungry tiger said, afraid of biting his teeth.

The tiger asked, why are you afraid of biting your teeth? The hungry tiger replied, Tong Sheng is too old to bite! ”

After Wei Chen finished speaking, Tao Dazhi and Chen Jun both laughed.

Sheng Changbai couldn't help laughing, forced a laugh, and lowered his voice: "You joke, it's okay to talk to us in private, if the voice is loud, which old boy will hear it, I have to beat you up!" ”

Wei Chen smiled faintly, but said in his heart, I heard this joke from the respected Lord Futai, whoever has a grievance should send it to him!

After telling the joke, the atmosphere between the few people finally became active again, and Tao Dazhi didn't mention anything like visiting the Qinglou in front of Sheng Changbai.

Finally, the team finally lined up with them, and Wei Chen stepped forward to respond to the inquiry and receive the exam card.

Many scribes in the government knew Wei Chen, the head of the case who was in the limelight during the government examination, and knew that his identity as a child was just a formality, and it was a sure thing to become a student to go to school, so they couldn't help but congratulate him in advance.

Wei Chen smiled and returned the salute, not despising these scribes because of their low status.

The king of Hades is good, the little ghosts are difficult, and the prefect like Shen Du may have to be changed every few years, but these subordinate officials have been rooted here for several generations, and their power in the yamen is intertwined and deep-rooted.

Jiangning is Wei Chen's hometown, and it is indispensable to ask these local snakes to take care of one or two in the future.

The other children who came to sign up next to them saw Wei Chen and the yamen scribe talking and laughing, and their hearts were full of mixed feelings.

They were still worried about the upcoming college exam, but Wei Chen had booked a place early and sat firmly in Diaoyutai.

But they don't have anything to say, who made the family the head of the government trial? You should also enjoy some special treatment.

At this time, someone suddenly thought that it seemed that Wei Chen was not only the head of the case during the government examination, but also the head of the case during the county examination.

Speaking of which, it seems that Jiangning Mansion has not had a small three-yuan for more than 50 years, right?
