On the second day, Xie heard that Xu He was going to Yangzhou to take the exam, so he naturally gave him another thousand instructions.

Xu He's trip to Yangzhou this time had been planned in advance.

He asked Xu Peng early to help find Xiao Er and ask him to help send the exam.

And this time, Ding Ze and his sister Juan'er will also accompany him.

Because Xu He will live in the courtyard sent by Shen Xuan on the shore of Slender West Lake.

He hasn't been there since the last time he got the keys and got the deed.

asked Juan'er to follow, so naturally she went to help sprinkle and sweep.

In this way, on this trip to the hospital test, Xu He, Xu Peng, Xiao Er, Ding Ze, and Xie Liangcai, who followed in the fun, there were five men on the boat, and it was not easy to do it alone with Juan'er, so Xu Peng asked Xiao Er to bring his sister-in-law, so that Juan'er would have a female companion, so that it would not be too embarrassing.

When it was time to set off, Xu He saw Xiao Er's sister for the first time.

Xiao Er's sister has no name, and since she was a child, her family has always called her girl.

In a poor family, the daughter has no name, and she has to go out early to work every day.

Looking at the girl, Xu He knew that this girl also walked on water all year round.

With a healthy and upright figure, wheat-colored skin, and a big braid that a fisherman's girl often wears on her head, after seeing a group of men, this little girl even dared to look at them one by one.

"Childe, my sister has been wild on the water since she was a child, but she told Childe to see jokes!" Xiao Er scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

Before Xu He could speak, Xie Liangcai interjected awkwardly: "Isn't it good?" The fisherman's girl is spicy and bold, and it's quite fun! ”

There is a maggot with your big head, Xu He gave him a blank look and drove him to the bow of the boat, because that place was the farthest away from the two girls in the stern.

It's not that Xu He is unkind, it's really that Brother Sao has his own Sao Bao physique, and Xu He has to be on guard at any time.

After a while, Ding Ze came over to ask if he wanted to start the boat, and Xu He nodded.

A moment later, the two pennies at the stern of the boat pointed at the pier at the same time, and the boat immediately turned around and headed west.

Should I say it or not, it would be more appropriate to have a woman on the ship, and Xie Liangcai, who was noisy on weekdays, also began to set up a character of studying and working hard.

Just as everyone was watching the scenery and reading a book, there was a burst of tea fragrance from the stern.

Before everyone could find the fragrance, Ding Ze's sister Juan'er walked in with a red face and a pot of tea.

I saw her walk in with a pot in her left hand and a stack of stoneware bowls in her right hand.

Xu is not familiar with Xu He, Juan'er didn't dare to raise her head, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "A few sons, this is the night tea fried by the girl's sister's family." ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her snow-white wrist and placed a pottery bowl in front of everyone.

Xu He saw her wrist and sighed in his heart, some people are really born beautiful, if you want to say that the harsh environment of the salt farm, you have to do so many things every day, but Juan'er is still born fair-skinned and pretty, no wonder Dou Matong's old pervert is still a thief to her when she is old.

However, at this moment, even Brother Sao knows that in a place like the cabin, etiquette still needs to be observed.

After Juan'er finished pouring the tea, Xu He said in as plain a tone as possible: "Sister Juan'er, it's hard work!" ”

The reason why it is bland, but it is not that Xu He wants to suppress anything, this is because he knows that if he wants a person to quickly integrate into the group, the people in the group should not be surprised, it is best to express gratitude appropriately, and saying too much will make the girl more shy.

When Juan'er heard this, she was really much more relaxed than when she said the first sentence, and after pouring the tea, she carried the teapot to the stern.

Today was smooth sailing, and the boat soon came to the Slender West Lake outside Yangzhou.

Xie Liangcai looked at the sparkling lake and said with a smile: "Since the last time your poem came out, now Yangzhou City calls this Baobao Lake Slender West Lake." ”

Xu He smiled, and said in his heart that he didn't expect the famous name of Slender West Lake in this life to start from himself.

After the two of them stood on the bow of the boat and watched for a while, Xu He always felt that today's Slender West Lake was a little different from the last time in Yangzhou.

In the last government test, Xu He passed by Slender West Lake when he came and went to Yangzhou, and when he followed Shen Xuan and others to the lake, the lake was full of painting boats, and the wandering scholars came and went.

But today's Slender West Lake is deserted, and there is not a single painting boat.

Seeing this, Xu He expressed his doubts.

Xie Liangcai smiled when he heard this: "Hahaha, the guy who doesn't know you, as soon as I hear your words, I know that you are not a talented man!" ”

Xu He frowned and said, "How do you say this?" ”

"Don't you hear that there is no talent on the cross street; Mention the school, the whole city is drunk]? ”

Xu He suddenly, I see.

The scholar is pressed to a certain place, and the saying is called "dismounting".

After dismounting, the examiner began to arrange the examination, and one more thing was to inquire if there were any traitors in the school this year who needed to remove their reputation.

In addition, some of the more serious scholars will also send their own officials to the city to check the local style of learning.

What is local style of study?

Naturally, it's to see what the local readers are doing on weekdays!

On weekdays, the scholars who are roaring and wandering are like mice seeing cats during this time period, and they don't dare to move when they stay at home, let alone visit the Qinlou Chu Pavilion.

In case the priest who was raptured to learn the Tao was discovered, he would be directly placed in the school to the [Errand Class], or he would be expelled from the school.

It can be said that mentioning the Tao is the nightmare of all the scholars below the people, without him, the power of life and death is in hand, and he has to be coaxed!

When Xu He arrived in Yangzhou, the first thing he did was to go directly to the government room to pay.

The clerk in the ceremonial room read the checkpoint, asked Xu He a few more questions, and then tore off the stub.

Before leaving, the scribe said: "Tomorrow, the great master will get off the horse, and there will be a mention of the school at the entrance of the government to announce the exam date, remember to come and check on the same day!" ”

Xu He thanked the scribe and asked in a low voice, "Dare to ask the government to judge Master Li in the Yamen?" ”

The little official glanced at Xu He and said, "What are you doing when you ask Lord Li where he went?" Go and go, don't delay me to see the checkout, don't you see so many people behind you? ”

Xu He just wanted to leave when he heard this, but the warden in the ceremonial room turned his head when he heard Xu He's inquiry.

As soon as he saw Xu He, he immediately stood up with a smile and said, "It's Xu Gongzi, hey, Master Li didn't tell us that you came today, otherwise why do you need to run in person, let's send someone to go!" ”

When the impatient scribe saw the appearance of his boss just now, he asked in a low voice, "Boss, who is this?" ”

The warden glared at him and said, "Didn't you be there last time?" This is the first case of the government test Xu, and we will judge the adult's protégé! ”

The people who were queuing behind Xu He just now felt a little unhappy in their hearts, and immediately became behaving after hearing that Xu He was the head of the government.

The article of this Xu case leader, it was specially posted at the door of the government by the prefect Peng for the big guys to study.

Now that they saw the real person, these scholars suddenly lost their impatience, and one by one they greeted the impatient scribe and kept a look.

The warden glanced at the scribe, and said to Xu He with a smile: "Master Li happened to be absent from the mansion these days, but the son has something?" ”

Xu He heard that Li Zhijie was not there, so he shook his head and said, "I wanted to go and say hello to the teacher, but since the teacher is not there, then next time!" Thank you for the gift! ”

The warden of the ceremonial room is called [Book of Rites] in the folk, and the warden heard the mysterious whisper in Xu He's ear: "Young Master Xu, reliable news, tomorrow's great master will dismount, the day after tomorrow's scientific examination, the day after tomorrow is the hospital examination, you can prepare earlier!" ”

Sure enough, there was someone in the yamen who was easy to do, Xu He arched his hand at him, and the two looked at each other and smiled!
