After that, Yang Liyan and Wei Yangshuo returned to the inn where they were temporarily staying, and reviewed harder, and did not participate in poetry meetings, assemblies, etc., except for participating in some lectures, which was basically a retreat to study.

Zhong Shuyu also paused to report to the Ministry of Industry and entered the preparation stage seriously.

As soon as the middle of February passed, some of the early peach blossoms in the capital suddenly grew flower bones.

At this time, the capital has not become deserted at all compared to Chinese New Year's Eve and Lantern Festival, but has become more and more lively.

Because there is only half a month left before the biennial examination.

Students from other places who came to take the exam have come to Beijing one after another at this time, how can Beijing not be lively!

In the streets and alleys, teahouses and restaurants, you can see people wearing straight shirts everywhere, and the inns in Beijing are full of all the candidates.

In such a strong atmosphere of the examination, whether it is the circle of candidates and literati, the circle of businessmen, or ordinary people in Beijing, the topics discussed after tea and dinner are all about this year's examination. ❃wap.fengs✹hug✴✶f✱o

Who can win this year's Huiyuan?

Who can be appointed by the emperor as the champion, the eye, and the flower!

It can be said that these points are the top priority of people's attention every year, after all, there are so many references, and only three of them have been honored in two years!

In the heated discussion, Zhong Shuyu made her famous because of what she did in the autumn of Suzhou Province, so she was also nominated by many people this time, thinking that she has the potential to be a Zhonghuiyuan.

However, because after Zhong Shuyu arrived in Guozijian, except for blaming Gao Yang, Yu did not make much of a splash on the way to study.

Especially after the Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival will be the most famous to spread its reputation.

Zhong Yiyu did not attend.

Therefore, Zhong Shuyu was forgotten by many people, so although she was nominated, she was not the favorite candidate for the top of the examination, and there were not many people in several gambling houses in Beijing who bet on her to be the top of the examination.

There are not many people who bet, which means that if Zhong Shuyu really wins the Huiyuan, the odds are extremely high.

After Zhong Shuyu heard about this, she just smiled, so much so that she didn't bet thousands of taels on herself to make a lot of money, because although she was confident that she would win, she didn't 100% think that she could get the top spot in the exam.

After all, the article is not like mathematics with an absolutely correct answer, which is very subjective.

Sometimes no matter how well the essay is written, if it does not meet the examiner's three views and the examiner's preferences, the score will not be high, at most it will be an upper-average score.

So Zhong Shuyu just asked Fang Dabao to make a small fuss and place a bet of one hundred taels, so he didn't pay attention to this matter.

February 17th.

On this day, Zhong Shuyu had just come out of Guozijian, and in the crowd of Wuyang students who had come to pay homage to Guozijian, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy jumped at her and waved his hand, "Second young master, this way." ”

Zhong Shuyu looked at this person, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Isn't this the scholar next to Zhong Shuze?

Sure enough, Zhong Shuyu looked in the direction of that side and saw Zhong Shuze next to the carriage over there.

However, although Zhong Shuyu saw it, he didn't have the idea of greeting him at all, and after staring at him for a second, he retracted his gaze and said, "Go back and tell Zhong Shuze that there is no need to meet." ”

Except for a few times when the two competed against each other, and once she won the top prize, he knelt down and called her father's bet, and they didn't have any friendship.

Just test yourself, what are you doing when you come to see her?
