Seven days later, Cheng Jingzhou came to find Xie Rongzhao and went out together.

They planned to leave tomorrow, and before that, Cheng Jingzhou decided to take the good treasure back to Xie's house first, only saying that he was going to Fucheng for a trip, just so that he could bring some things to Xie Xiuwen.

Cheng Jingzhou's original intention was to let Xie Rongzhao show his face in the Xie family, so as to save the Xie family from having any further complications.

As for Grandpa Xie asked about Mrs. Liu's condition, Xie Rongzhao only said that he was still taking medicine, and the doctor said that he was too tired before and couldn't stand it, so he fell ill.

Such a statement made Grandpa Xie feel that it would not hurt to let his daughter-in-law take care of him for a few more days, and Xie Xiuwen was not at home, and their mother and daughter went to live in their parents' house for a while, but this inner house could live in peace.

Gao County is not too far from the capital city, and it will set off before dawn, and the carriage will arrive in one day.

Cheng Jingzhou and Liu Sanlang sat in the same carriage with Xie Rongzhao all the way, and it was also thanks to Xie Rongzhao's young age, otherwise, he would definitely be talked about again.

When they arrived in Fucheng, after Cheng's father took them to settle down, he called Cheng Jingzhou out to speak.

About a quarter of an hour, Cheng Jingzhou returned with a smile on his face.

"Good baby, let's go to Mingshan Academy tomorrow."

Xie Rongzhao jumped up happily: "Really? But aren't you going to follow your uncle to visit the elders? ”

"It doesn't matter. My father said I didn't have to go. Have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow my third cousin and I will take you to Mingshan Academy. ”

Xie Rongzhao was happy, and then thought that not everyone entered Mingshan Academy.

Cheng Jingzhou touched her head with a smile: "We are also the family members of the students, and after the ceremony, we should be able to see our uncle." ”

Mingshan Academy, because of the exams for several days, the students are a little nervous.

Although the gentlemen didn't say it explicitly, they roughly knew that this was Xu Shanchang selecting a beginner disciple for himself.

Now I have taken the exam twice, and the results of each time have been posted, and to this day, there are only more than ten people who have been included in the first list.

There are more than 300 students in the entire Mingshan Academy, and now after the two exams, there are only more than ten people, which can barely be regarded as entering the eyes of Xu Shanchang.

Wang Jin did not enter the first list, but he was not discouraged.

"I'm self-aware, I didn't rely on talent to get to this point, and secondly, I also know my shortcomings, after all, my brain is slower than others. It's really good Zicheng, your results this time are really good, and it's already good that we can have four people in class A on the list this time. ”

It's not necessarily the best to be in Class A.

Because some of the students who come to study are still young and have only a short time to study, they cannot be looked at from the perspective of Xiucai.

Now on this list, there are students from all classes, which is obviously a fairer selection for students.

Xie Xiuwen can enter the first list, and rank third, which is enough to make the entire first class boil.

Some rejoice, others are angry.

Fan Xing failed to make the top list in this exam, so he was naturally unwilling.

But this time the test questions were grown by Xu Shan, even if he was unwilling, he didn't dare to make trouble in the open.

"Everyone, be quiet, just now there was a message from the Zhiyuan Pavilion to let the twelve people on the first list go to the Zhiyuan Pavilion, and Xu Shanchang is already drinking tea there."

Zhiyuan Pavilion has always been a place for the head of the academy and the heads of affairs to deliberate.

Now let these twelve students go, and the meaning is naturally obvious.

Xie Xiuwen didn't dare to delay, he finally had such an opportunity, and naturally he couldn't miss it in vain.

Fan Xing had the heart to stumble on him again, but when he thought of the style of the chief Xu, he secretly suppressed his plan, but the resentment in his eyes was like fire, and he almost gritted his silver teeth: "Xie Zicheng, let's come to Japan!" ”

In the Zhiyuan Pavilion, in addition to Xu Shanchang and several respected gentlemen, there is also a middle-aged man who looks at his eyes.

The middle-aged man was dressed as a scholar, but he sat there, with a good momentum, even if there were no superfluous movements, it still made people feel oppressive.

Xie Xiuwen just raised his head and glanced at it hurriedly, then quickly lowered his head.

Today's opportunity is so precious that nothing can go wrong.

Xu Shanchang first praised them here, and then temporarily came out to test their talents, from the Four Books and Five Classics, to the national economy and people's livelihood, it can be said that these students are being tested in all aspects.

At this time, Xie Xiuwen was extremely glad that he had made preparations early, otherwise, he might not be able to answer some questions about how to solve the governance of local officials.

After about an hour, Xu Shanchang let them all disperse.

"Yunping, what do you think?"

Rong Kuo, a middle-aged man called Yunping, is Xu Yuanqing's protégé, a jinshi ten years ago, and now he is an official of the fourth grade.

Rong Kuo bowed his head slightly, and his attitude was very respectful.

"Naturally, the teacher's vision is the best. These twelve people are indeed all very promising, and when it comes to reading a wide range of books, the students think that Li student is very good; If you want to say that you have quick thinking, Xiucai surnamed Song is also very good. ”

Xu Shanchang smiled and waited for his next step.

Sure enough, Rong Kuo said again: "But the student privately thinks that the Xiucai surnamed Xie is a person who can be cultivated." ”

"Oh? Why? ”

Rong Kuo thought for a while: "Xie Xiucai has read more books than Song Xiucai, and his thinking is more agile than Li Xuexue, and when it comes to people's livelihood issues, he is not just the kind of puppet school that simply acts according to government decrees, and he is obviously more inclined to look at problems from the perspective of the people." ”

Xu Shanchang heard it and laughed a few times.

Yun Ping is right. This Xie Xiucai is indeed interesting, whether it is talent or knowledge, he is not top-notch when he comes out alone, but he is not bad. Such a person will not be easy to do things. ”

Rong Kuo smiled and didn't speak, but obviously agreed with the teacher's statement.

"However, since I am going to be a disciple, I still have to take a closer look. At the very least, the conduct is passable. Moreover, there should be a lot of people like Xie Xiucai in the academy, and this time I accept disciples again, thinking that I can help you in the future, no matter when, this loyalty to the monarch and patriotism is the first one. ”

"That's what you said."

The matter is over, since Zhiyuan Pavilion tried it, no results have been posted, and there is no news about which one to accept as a disciple.

Xie Rongzhao was carried up the mountain by Cheng Jingzhou, and he didn't walk fast step by step, and Liu Sanlang on the side opened his mouth several times to take over the good treasure, but Cheng Jingzhou refused.

Just kidding, this is his wife, how can he let other men hug him?

Even if it's a cousin, that's not good!

"Hey, Grandpa Xu, what are you doing?"

Xu Yuanqing was screaming with a bamboo shoot with the scholar, but he didn't expect to be seen right.
