Chapter 11 Competition
"Yo! Isn't this Su Lin? I didn't even reach Kaizhi, and I dared to come to participate in the county exam? It's a pity that with your word 'diligence', I have 1,500 taels of silver. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
You didn't sell it to me, but wasted it to take the county exam, it's really beyond your means, do you think that only 20 children can have your share?"
When he was waiting to enter the venue, a handsome boy of the same age as Su Lin walked up, obviously it was already autumn, and he was still holding a flower and bird folding fan in his hand, so he sneered at Su Lin elegantly.
Beside him, followed by several Confucian students who were also going to take the county exam, they also laughed when they heard this, and they were all laughing at Su Lin's inadequacy.
"You're talking nonsense! My brother is already wise, much better than all of you. I will definitely be able to pass the middle school entrance examination. ”
Su Ru saw that her brother was being ridiculed, and refuted them unwillingly.
"Oh, even if your brother has already enlightened his wisdom, he must have only enlightened his wisdom in the past few days, right? Is it a show of talent or a person's speech? Is it possible...... Ha ha...... Is it the wisdom of a child?"
"My brother is ......" Su Ru just wanted to say that his brother Su Lin was a genius of the Holy Word and Enlightenment, but because he was banned by the power of the half-saint, he was speechless.
Any words related to Su Lin's holy words and enlightenment were all restrained and couldn't be said, so Su Ru had no choice but to say, "Anyway, my brother is much more powerful than you." ”
"It's ridiculous!, little girl, even your brother, who was only enlightened at the age of fifteen, also wants to be admitted to the Tongsheng examination, let's take the examination for the rest of his life!" the man continued to mock disdainfully.
"Zhao Shuang! Even though I just opened my mind the day before yesterday, but this time in the county exam, I will be a child. ”
Su Lin didn't want to talk much to this group of classmates who looked down on him, but he really couldn't bear his sister Su Ru being ridiculed by Zhao Shuang and others because of him.
Strictly speaking, this Zhao Shuang is not a Confucian student in Fengle County, and his background is really not small, but he is a descendant of the Zhao family, a wealthy family in Jianzhou, and the Zhao family is a wealthy family with great Confucianism in the clan.
The reason why Zhao Shuang, a son of a wealthy family in Jianzhou, would participate in the county test in Fengle County, a small border county, was because his father hoped that Zhao Shuang could get the title of the first case leader in the county test.
The quota for the imperial examination is fixed, and there are 20 children in one county, and the first name is the case. Therefore, if some children of wealthy families want to obtain the title of child or the first case, they will be arranged by their families to participate in the county examination in some small border counties.
Zhao Shuang was arranged by his family to Fengle County, this practice reminded Su Lin of the previous life on the earth because of the different college entrance examination policies in various places, this situation also occurred, and many people deliberately tried to send their children to some provinces where the college entrance examination papers were easier.
Jianzhou is full of wealthy families, talented people, Zhao Shuang is enlightened in the words of Hanlin, and he is only a middle-class asset in Jianzhou, because there are many geniuses in Jianzhou every year who open their minds with great Confucianism.
But in a small place like Fengle County, he is already a great genius.
It can be said that among the more than 1,000 Confucian students who participated in the children's examination in Fengle County this time, Zhao Shuang's talent and talent are recognized as the first.
And because he is a descendant of the Zhao family, a wealthy family in Jianzhou, there are many Confucian scholars who deliberately curry favor with him, hoping to climb the high branches of the Zhao family.
When he was in the Fengle County Shi Clan School before, Zhao Shuang knew that Su Lin, a fifteen-year-old and unenlightened talent, and learned that Su Lin had the word "diligence" passed down to him by his father, so he wanted to invest in it.
Zilin, only Confucian students who have obtained the rank of Xiucai are eligible to enter.
And the "holy word" is not every Xiucai who enters the word forest can get it, there is a certain chance, generally one hundred Xiucai, only twenty or thirty can get the "holy word".
The talents who have obtained the "holy word" cherish the abnormality, and even after death, they will pass it on to their descendants, and few of them are bought and sold on the market.
So even if Zhao Shuang is from the Zhao family in Jianzhou, he doesn't have a "holy word" in his hand now.
So he was jealous of the word "diligence" in Su Lin's hand and wanted to invest in the purchase, but Su Lin sternly refused, so he always held a grudge.
"Don't be afraid to flash your tongue when you say big things! Su Lin, can we still not know your level? Don't say that there are only twenty children out of a thousand people, even if you take nine hundred and ninety-nine, don't think that you can be on it. ”
Hearing that Su Lin actually said that he could be admitted to the middle school boyhood, Zhao Shuang slapped the folding fan very disdainfully and said.
"Zhao Shuang, don't you really want me to be 'diligent'?"
Su Lin ignored their ridicule, and directly moved his wisdom, and the word "Qin" flew out of it, held it in his hand, and said to Zhao Shuang.
"Do you dare to compete with me, who has the higher ranking in this round of county exams? If you win, I will give up the word 'diligence'. But if you lose, you have to apologize to my sister in person, she is not called Little Girl, she has a name, she is called Su Ru!"
"What? I heard you right, did I? Surin, what are you going to do? Compete with me? haha......"
Zhao Shuang seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and said to the Confucian students around him, "Have you heard, the fifteen-year-old fool who was only enlightened actually wants to compete with me in the county test, you say, is it ridiculous?"
"Su Lin, you really can't do what you can! Zhao Gongzi is enlightened with Hanlin's words, and the head of this year's case is none other than Zhao Gongzi. ”
"I said, Su Lin, if you want to give the word 'Qin' to Zhao Gongzi, just say it! No need for this euphemistic way! Haha......
......
The surrounding Confucian scholars also looked over, they all knew Zhao Shuang and Su Lin. One is the sister-in-law of the Su family in Jianzhou, and the other is a stupid fool who can't be enlightened at the age of fifteen in the county's Xiucai family.
"In a word, Zhao Shuang, are you better or not?" Su Lin didn't take the ridicule of others to heart, he didn't believe that his true holy words and wisdom could still lose to a gentleman who was enlightened by Hanlin? Not to mention, he also had the assistance of the word "diligence" and the word "wordless heavenly book".
"Than! I didn't expect you to be the county exam you signed up for by yourself, and you didn't use the word 'diligence'. Since you are willing to send the word 'diligence' to the door, does my Zhao Shuangyan have a reason not to accept it?"
Zhao Shuang laughed out loud and said, "But in order to avoid others saying that I take advantage of you, if you win, I will not only apologize to this little girl in your family, but also add a thousand taels of silver, how about it?"
In Zhao Shuang's heart, he was sure to win, and he didn't care about the size of the bet at all, so he pretended to be very generous and said boldly.
"Okay, as you said, if you want to give me two pieces of silver, how can I refuse?"
Su Lin smiled, asked someone to borrow a pen and paper, and wrote down a note in an instant, "There is no evidence for empty words, but there is evidence for words." Zhao Shuang, sign it!"
"Okay! I'm worried about what you'll do if you lose!"
Zhao Shuang happily signed his name, and as soon as he finished signing, the county government beat the drum to enter the venue, and the candidates lined up, and after passing the physical examination one after another, they entered the examination room.
"Li Xiancheng, did Su Lin come to participate in the county exam?"
Within the county office, Xu Wenliang, the county magistrate who was the main invigilator, asked.
"Lord Prefectural, here. But it's interesting, I heard that at the gate of the county government, Su Lin and Zhao Shuang of the Zhao family had a conflict, and the two also set up a gambling note, and the content of the competition is the ranking of the county test. Li Ting, the county magistrate, told the truth.
When the county commander Xu Wenliang heard this, he was interested and said with a smile.
"Oh, then the Zhao family is one of the top wealthy families in my state, Zhao Shuang's grandfather is the great Confucian Zhao Xiuwen, I heard that he is enlightened by the words of Hanlin, if there are no variables in this county test, I am afraid that the first case leader is none other than him."
But it's a pity that now there is such a big variable as Surin, and even I don't know who will be the head of this case. ”
"Xu County Order, who is this Su Lin?
Ye Hongye, who was also sitting in the main invigilator position, was a supervisor sent by the temple, and he arrived yesterday, and he didn't know about Su Lin's holy words and wisdom that day.
"Ye Jian is from the temple, don't you know this Su Lin?"
Xu Xian Ling said unexpectedly, it stands to reason that Su Lin's holy words were enlightened that day, and all the saints were shaken, how could this Ye Hongye, as the temple supervisor, not know?
"I don't know!" Ye Hongye shook his head.
"Actually, it's nothing, Su Lin is the son of a talented person in this county, and he is more intelligent. ”
Xu Xian Ling remembered the ban order of the half-saint that day, and I am afraid that except for the half-saint of the temple, the rest of the people probably do not know that another genius with holy words and wisdom was born in the Tianren Continent.
Therefore, Xu Xianling also felt that he should not say more, so he passed with a vague sentence.
However, Xu Xian Ling was pondering in his heart, and it was true that Su Lin was enlightened with holy words. But after all, he was only enlightened at the age of fifteen, even if he had accumulated a lot of money, and was good at understanding the words of the saints.
is not necessarily good at the "sticking scriptures" and "poems" of the imperial examination county test, is he really so confident that he can beat Zhao Shuang, who has the highest voice at the head of the case?
Su Lin didn't know that his gambling with Zhao Shuang at the gate of the county government had reached the ears of Xu County Ling.
At this time, he was sitting upright in the examination room, and more than 1,000 candidates were separated by small cabins of one square meter. The cabin was already stocked with pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and even a toilet for Izuku.
The county examination is only one day, the examination of the scriptures in the morning, and the examination of poetry in the afternoon, and the candidates cannot go out of the cabin until they submit the papers.
Su Lin, who has experienced various exams since he was a child, is simply pediatric for him.
Sit patiently and wait until the test paper is sent out, and there are nearly 50 pages of test questions.
"Isn't this just the silent writing of ancient poems? I have a wordless book in my hand, why is it difficult?"
The test questions are 50 pages, one question per page, simply put, the words of the saints, down to some incisive words and sentences in the works of scholars, and the next sentence is required to fill in the next sentence, and the next sentence is required to be filled in.
