This time he went to study in Fuxue, Xu He didn't bring Sister Gu with him, because he was determined to close the door and concentrate on studying, leaving Sister Gu alone, he was really a little uneasy.

In the end, he only took Ding Ze with him and let him stay at his uncle Xie Bin's house.

He plunged into the school and never came out again.

Another year has passed.

Unconsciously, the summer of the thirty-sixth year is about to pass quietly.

In the last monthly exam, Xu He's article was highly praised by Professor Gao Bi and instructor Jiao Ze.

This year, he has been immersed in hard work almost all of his life.

In addition to discussing articles with Xie Liangcai, Gao Guoguang and others, he borrowed a large number of [idle books] from professors and teachers.

It covers so much that even the people in the same house are surprised to see it.

It is difficult for ordinary people to understand and memorize the Four Books and the Five Classics and their commentaries, and I don't know where Xu He got the time to read so many books that have nothing to do with the imperial examination.

In fact, what they didn't know was that in the spring, everyone had rested at night, and Xu He was sitting at the desk at the bedside in his clothes and reading.

Every time you don't pay attention, you see the sky bright.

The next day, except for a short nap at noon, I was still energetic and hard at work all day.

If you have good talent, it's already scary.

But Xu He is not only talented, but also works harder than others, which makes Gao Guoguang Ma Luo and others in the same house difficult to sleep.

As the day of the township examination is getting closer and closer, the students who are eligible to participate in the township examination also learn to read until the early hours of the morning.

But often in the middle of the night, drowsiness comes invariably, making everyone wonder why Xu He is so energetic.

Gao Guoguang didn't hold back later, and went to ask Xu He for advice.

Xu He said with a smile: "The ancestors of the Eastern Jin Dynasty heard the rooster dance, and they were sages who could pull their bows when they got on their horses and read when they got off their horses!" ”

Gao Guoguang didn't understand what Xu He meant, but before dawn the next day, he saw Xu He get up and get dressed and go out.

Curious, he followed Xu He out to take a look, only to know what Xu He meant by what he said yesterday.

It turned out that Xu He first trotted around the backyard a few times when he arrived at the backyard of Fuxue, and then took out the bow and arrow in the shooting room, and practiced archery in the shooting garden for half an hour.

Sure enough, when he came out of the shooting garden, Xu He, who had obviously stayed up all night, was in good spirits at this time, and greeted Gao Guoguang with a smile and went to the dining hall to eat.

From now on, Xu He's unique learning method spread all over the school at once.

Many people think it's magical, and with the attitude of giving it a try, the shooting garden is overcrowded all of a sudden.

Xu He didn't get angry when he saw it, turned his head and ran a few laps, and then went to a secluded place to do a set of radio gymnastics, and ate and read as always.

The crowd persevered for a while, and there were gradually fewer people in the shooting garden.

After another six or seven days, the shooting garden was quiet again.

The scholars of the Great Wei Dynasty, many of whom can be admitted to Xiucai, are from rich families, and these sons and brothers study hard, but if they are allowed to bend their bows and arrows, it will be their own lives.

How many people finally covered their arms and went home to recuperate for a period of time before returning to Fuxue to continue their studies.

In the end, there were only a few people such as Xie Liangcai and Gao Guoguang who could stick to Xu He's side.

On this day, everyone washed up early, and Xu He did not go to the shooting garden to exercise as before, but rushed to Minglun Hall after eating with everyone.

Two days ago, Gao Bi asked the instructor to inform the sentient beings, saying that they had something to say.

Gao Guoguang, the god of ear reporting, informed Xu He early on, saying that his father was going to cheer everyone up before the township test.

Xu He nodded, the township examination is a very important level in the imperial examination, and after passing it, you will have the qualification to be an official, and the instructors must do pre-examination mobilization in advance.

As soon as they arrived at Minglun Hall, almost all the senders and epiphytes had already arrived.

Gao Bi saw that the people were almost there, so he put his hands behind his back and examined the beings in front of him.

After everyone gradually quieted down, he said with a calm face: "The three-year big competition, with the direct province of the life test, the township test!" ”

As soon as the words "Township Test" came out of his mouth, the relaxed look on everyone's faces became solemn.

Gao Bi looked around and said: ""Zhou Li" has clouds, and the great Situ is set up, and the people are taught by the three things in the township and the people are prosperous. ”

Xing Juju also, the township doctor to raise its sage and ability, with the courtesy of drinking, the words of the township change from here.

However, the township examination of that era was not an examination but a recommendation.

"In the Han Dynasty, there were literature, filial piety, and talent." Gao Bi continued, "In the Tang Dynasty, the scholars were selected and used in various subjects, and the county and township tributes were paid by the prefectures and counties, and the Song Dynasty was released by the foreign government before the Ministry of Gifts, and the examination must be carried out, which is somewhat similar to the national dynasty, which is the origin of the national dynasty and township examination." ”

Confucianism pays attention to the origin of everything it does.

So whether you want to hear it or not, Gaobi is bound to say the name of the township test.

"Let's talk about the township test, the township test is also called Qiuqiu, to be honest, you students, in fact, in the eyes of the literati of the dynasty, are just Mengtong babbling and learning to speak.

"Listen, what's important below!" Gao Bi patted the case with his hand, like the math teacher said in the third year of high school, "Let me tell you, this question has been tested in previous years, but I didn't take it last year, and it is estimated that there is a great possibility of taking the exam this year, you can't memorize it, ...... it at will."

"Our township examination in Nanzhili is different from the provinces, the provinces are in the political department, and we are in Beijing, from the ninth to the seventeenth day of August, three exams, the same day after the examination is handed in, and the next exam is three days later! Got it? ”

When everyone heard this, they got up and said yes, and some people took paper and brushes to write them down, for fear of forgetting.

"The first session on the ninth day of the first month, the second session on the twelfth day, and the third session on the fifteenth, there are two examiners, four people in the same exam, and the chief examiner is a Beijing official selected by the imperial court, all of whom are young and strong and excellent in learning and doing, and the same examiner is filled by the magistrate of the county, Tongzhi and other local officials, and the four people are only customized, and it may be increased to fourteen or fifteen people.

The candidates looked at each other, and their hearts couldn't help but be awe-inspiring.

At this time, Gao Bi said: "In addition to the main examination and the same examination, the township examination also has a promotion officer, a supervisor, and a supervisor of the examination. Listen, that's the Imperial History, if you are caught cheating, it's not just as light as being beaten on the board! ”

When Xie Liangcai heard this, he turned his head and whispered to Xu He with a smile: "Don't listen to the professor's scary, the inspector is an official outside the curtain, and when he enters the Kowloon Field, he has nothing to do with him at all." ”

The so-called curtain outside the official, according to the old practice of the field, the township test is divided into curtains, and the disadvantages of internal and external isolation of traffic, from the curtain is presided over by the chief examiner, and outside the curtain is the patrol of the invigilator of the imperial history. The promotion officer is also the general internal and external.

Gao Bi continued to nag and said: "The ink pen is used for the examination papers, the receiving, transcription, and reading are all red pens, and the examiner uses a green pen, and red is not allowed to be used in the ink, and ink is not allowed to be used in the red place, and it will be the same for you to participate in the examination in the future." ”

Lao Gao tried his best to talk about the rules of the township test in the morning, and then he could finish speaking.

The crowd was dizzy.

But even so, everyone didn't dare not listen, but the more Lao Gao said, the more pressure in everyone's hearts and the importance of the township test increased.
