After registering and going home, Wei Chen lived in a small lakeside courtyard again.

Every morning, Wei Chen reads a collection of scriptures, and then practices Shiwen under the guidance of Zhuang Jun.

In the previous government examination, in order to cater to Shen Du's preferences, Wei Chen changed his style of writing to be gorgeous and beautiful, and thus won the first place in the government examination.

Zhuang Jun adheres to the concept of applying it to the world, and he is not a corrupt Confucian, he can understand the practice of Weichen Mansion when trying to trick himself, but he does not approve of it.

After reading the article of the Weichen Mansion test, he said this: "Although your current writing is neat and gorgeous, it will inevitably be reduced to a lower level, such an article, if you meet a half-hung person like Shen Du who likes gorgeous rhetoric, you can still get a good ranking, but if you meet the real Confucianism of the Fang family, it will not work." ”

In fact, there is no need for Zhuang Jun to say, Wei Chen himself knows that his article that won the first place in the government examination was originally made to cater to the prefect Shen Du, in the eyes of those who know the industry, this is the behavior of flattering people, and the style is of course relatively low.

Therefore, even if Zhuang Jun belittled his article to the point of not being worth mentioning, Wei Chen had nothing to refute.

Didn't you hear that in Zhuang Jun's mouth, the dignified prefect Shen Du was just a half-ass?

This is Zhuang Jun's confidence as a great Confucian in the world, even if Shen Du himself is here, he has to obediently bow his head and be trained.

After commenting on the article during the Weichen Mansion test, Zhuang Jun talked about Wei Chen's new work "Returning to Zhao after Completion".

"This ancient text of yours is much stronger than the current text, and the old man has not seen such a strange article for a long time. If your current writings can be like your ancient texts, take off the rope and ink arrangement, and express the indelible views of the ages, then it will be the world's first-class article! ”

After listening to Zhuang Jun's words, Wei Chen only felt that his eyes suddenly brightened.

In the past, he wrote articles, mainly on the basis of imitating his predecessor Cheng Wen, and explored with difficulty step by step, and Wei Chen was actually very confused about how to go next.

And Zhuang Jun's words directly cleared the clouds and mist for Wei Chen and pointed out a broad road to him. As long as Wei Chen works hard in this direction, there will be a day when the article will be completed.

Wei Chen couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, Zhuang Jun deserved to be a famous Confucian all over the world, his eyes were vicious, and he could see his own problems at a glance, how fortunate he was to have such a Master.

In the following days, Wei Chen locked himself in the room to read and write, and except for Chen Jun and Tao Dazhi who came to visit a few times, Wei Chen never met anyone else.

But Sheng Changbai has never been to the courtyard.

I don't know what the reason is, this guy seems to have always avoided Zhuang Jun.

Wei Chen was quite puzzled by this, but since Sheng Changbai didn't want to mention it, he wouldn't ask the bottom of it.

In the early morning of the day he arrived at the hospital for the test, Wei Chen got up early in the morning, only to feel refreshed, and he had the pleasure of breaking through.

After breakfast, Wei Chen checked his exam card, pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things, and walked out of the small courtyard with the test basket, Tao Dazhi was already waiting outside the courtyard on a mule cart.

After picking up Wei Chen, the two rushed to the examination shed by car together.

When I got out of the car, I saw sparks lit up in front of the dragon gate of the examination shed, and people were boiling.

This time, there were about 800 children who came to participate in the hospital examination, which was much less than the government examination, and even the scale of the Youyang County examination was not comparable.

During the county examination, most of the candidates were fourteen or fifteen years old, and during the government examination, most of the candidates were eighteen or nineteen years old, and when it came to the hospital examination, the number of people of each age group was about the same, and the age gap between them was particularly exaggerated.

There is no way, the government will take 50 out of 3,000, even if it is supplemented later, it will be a few dozen more people, and it will take an unknown number of sessions to save these 800 children, naturally there are old and young, uneven.

I think that at the beginning, Wei Chen's Mengshi Shi Kai was almost forty years old, and he was just a child.

As soon as Wei Chen arrived at the examination room, he and Tao Dazhi found the traces of Sheng Changbai and Chen Jun, the four of them were all in the top ten of the government examination this time, and according to the rules, they also had to sit in the hall number during the hospital examination, and they could enter together.

However, at this time, the sky was only cloudy, and the line of sight was blocked, and it was quite difficult to find two people among the more than 800 children.

Wei Chen looked at it, but instead of looking for Sheng Changbai and Chen Jun, he found an old acquaintance.

"Mr. Shi?"

Seeing the middle-aged man in a green shirt in front of him, Wei Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised.

stepped forward and said, "Mr. Shi, you are here too." ”

The middle-aged man turned his head to glance at Wei Chen, but hurriedly denied: "Who is your husband, you have recognized the wrong person!" ”

After saying that, he hurriedly hid his face and left.

Wei Chen's face was inexplicable, Shi Kai's face was remembered clearly, and he shouldn't admit it.

Wei Chen saw that the middle-aged man had dodged and blended into the crowd, so he hurriedly chased after him.

But after walking a few steps, Wei Chen stopped again, and he suddenly understood, obviously that person was Mr. Shi, why he just refused to admit it.

was a former student, but now he is the same year as himself, Shi Kai's self-esteem made it difficult for him to accept this sense of identity and status for a while, so he chose to avoid it.

In this case, even if Wei Chen catches up with Shi Kai and forcibly recognizes him, it will only make Shi Kai even more embarrassed.

"Let's wait until we finish the college exam......"

Wei Chen sighed, and finally stopped, standing in place, watching the familiar figure gradually disappear into the crowd.

"Virtuous brother!"

Wei Chen was sighing, and suddenly heard an excited shout from behind, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Sheng Changbai.

Wei Chen said happily: "Brother, I have been looking for you so hard, what about Brother Chen?" ”

Sheng Changbai said: "Brother Chen met Brother Tao early, and they are all waiting outside the Dragon Gate at this time, so they are the only one left." ”

"Okay, let's go together."

Wei Chen listened, and immediately walked in the direction of Longmen with Sheng Changbai.

On the way, Wei Chen saw that Sheng Changbai's face was very bad, so he asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you, your forehead is full of sweat?" ”

"Uh, huh?"

Sheng Changbai was slightly stunned, and quickly took out a towel to wipe his sweat. Wei Chen only found out at this time that Sheng Changbai's palms were also full of sweat.

After wiping the sweat off his forehead, Sheng Changbai said abruptly: "Let the virtuous brother smile, the foolish brother didn't close his eyes last night, and asked the female envoy around him to boil the soup to refresh himself, so that he had the strength to take the exam." ”

Wei Chen was surprised and said, "Brother, you are the second in the government test, why are you so nervous?" ”

Sheng Changbai smiled bitterly: "How did the second foolish brother come here, you also know the virtuous brother, it's not that we are lucky enough to be blinded by the question?" When it comes to real learning, I am barely ranked in the top five of the government exam.

This college exam is not as good as the government exam, it is the new Xuezheng himself who takes the exam, this Hai Xuezheng has always been honest and strict, and he is a famous article, but it is not so easy to get along! ”

When Wei Chen heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it turned out that Sheng Changbai was not afraid of exams, but afraid of walrus!

Unexpectedly, Bai Lan, who has always advanced and retreated, has such an embarrassing time.

Is there really such a thing as telepathy?

Seeing that fine sweat began to break out on Sheng Changbai's forehead again, Wei Chen had no choice but to comfort him warmly: "Brother, you can relax, your article is not under me, what about the college exam?" As long as you test carefully, you will not lose. ”

Wei Chen was also very helpless, he couldn't tell Sheng Changbai, Walrus Qian is your future father-in-law, it's normal for you to be nervous, right?

Sheng Changbai looked melancholy, pinched the half-wet towel in his hand, and sighed faintly.

"I hope so......"
