"Wow, look at it, there are really a lot of people who have been on the list of the imperial examination township this year. ”

"Yes, yes, isn't the distant cousin of the son of the uncle of the old Wang family's relatives next door to my house on the list, hahaha, don't talk about it, I have to hurry up and prepare to go to congratulate him." ”

The imperial examination of the Celestial Empire was a grand event that was valued by everyone from the emperor to the princes and officials, to the merchants and peasants. In this annual imperial examination, there will be so many little-known figures, who will soar like this, and their fame will spread from street to alley, and people will talk about it.

The imperial examination is recommended by the local official uniform, and the unified examination is called the "township examination" or "one examination". The imperial examination is divided into three examinations, namely, "Township Examination, Hui Examination and Palace Examination". The first place in the township test is called Xie Yuan, and the first place in the meeting test is called Huiyuan, plus the champion of the first place in the palace test, which is collectively called Sanyuan. Lianzhong Sanyuan is a good story in the imperial examination. Thinking about that Xu Yan, Xu Zaifu is the first person in the ages.

"Tong'er, go and see who Xie Yuan of our Jincheng is this year. ”

"Okay, sir, I won't help you, you can stand carefully, I'll go to the front and take a look, it's on the list. ”

"Go ahead, my body is standing now. "The person who spoke was not very old, but he could also be said to be in the prime of life. It is said that he is now unstable on his feet, just because he is "Xu Jinsong". The one who spent a year in a wheelchair. Now I am recovering from a serious illness and living a new life. In everyone's words, it is, "This person looks like a person." ”

The three masters all thought that this Xu Jinsong was dying soon, who knew that Xu Jinsong guarded the ancestral hall with this stone, as if there were gods to support him, and the strange disease on this body was gradually getting better. This Xu Jinsong, seeing that his illness has improved, is also pulling about the achievements of the past, and asked the head of the Xu family for a house and a few acres of land, but it is a nourishing life.

"Master, this year's Xie Yuan is amazing. ”

"Oh, but this Xu family?"

"Sir, no. You guess again. ”

"Then, it's the Chen and Su families, whose young master is it?"

"Haha, master, otherwise this year's Xie Yuan is amazing, my Jincheng Xie Yuan has never had a person from the Li family. This may be the first time since the three major families gained power, allowing outsiders to take away this Xie Yuan. ”

"What's the matter, looking at you like this, you're not from the three major families, you're very happy. ”

"Master, you are scaring the little one again, everyone knows that the power of these three major families in Jincheng is getting bigger and bigger, this prestige, especially the current local government. This is not a rumor, "Rather provoke officials, eat prison food." Don't dare to compete with the three major families. "In the Luoguan Mansion, you can still eat a good meal before you die, if this falls into the hands of the three major families, but you can't understand how to die. ”

"Who are you listening to? Master Xu is famous, and the other two major families have also built schools. Hugh is babbling nonsense. ”

"Master, isn't this a rumor, if you can't get on the stage, we'll just talk about it in private, and have fun. I'm not laughing at Xie Yuan, who is called "Li Chengjie". I really don't know if he's smart or confused, I've studied so many books, and I don't understand a little bit of the truth of being a human being. Now that I've taken the exam, I don't know if I have refuted the face of the three major families, and whether I will live to take the test. It's said that it's too rigid and easy to break, and too smart and easy to die."

"Master, what do you say?"

"Gone, gone. You little boy, what are you wondering about day by day? But this, Li Chengjie, is a good name. ”

The relationship between the master and the servant should be excellent, seeing that the master was leaving, the little boy hurriedly ran over, helped the master, and slowly walked towards the house. It's just a little windier. Blowing on this street, it suddenly seems a little deserted.

The master and servant returned to the house.

"Master, you see that the demon wind is everywhere today, and I am afraid that there will be heavy rain in a while. I won't go to the ancestral hall to worship today. Let's be lazy too. ”

"I knew it was going to rain in a while, so I didn't hurry up and ask someone to prepare the car. Xu Jinsong, even coughing, said continuously, but he looked angry.

In this way, the child has seen too much. Because he has persuaded him countless times, but he has not got a good face every time. Xiao Tong knew that this old man had nothing to do with the people in the ancestral hall, and Xiao Tong couldn't understand why Xu Jinsong wanted to go to the ancestral hall every day to worship. Originally, I thought that the Xu family was watching closely and had to go. Now that the people of the Xu family have withdrawn, why does the old man still go to sacrifice every day, could it be that if he puts three incense sticks every day, his strange disease can really heal itself?

The child had no choice but to ask someone to prepare a car and drive to the ancestral hall. It was too late and then it was fast, and in a little while they went to the mountain. The boy helped the old man out of the car and walked slowly up the mountain.

When I walked to the door of this ancestral hall, I saw a scholar who was reciting a book.

The child sees people, but he is happy. He asked, "Who are you?" but you are here to worship, the stone immortal?"

Xu Jinsong also looked the scholar in front of him up and down. The length is quite delicate, there is a little heroism in the eyebrows, and the clothes are very simple, and it can be seen that the background is not rich.

"Xiaosheng is polite. I was a scholar in Beijing to take the exam. Before the parents went out, they repeatedly told them that they must come to the ancestral hall of the stone god to worship. Please also make it easy for me. ”

"Little boy, don't hurry up and open the door, go get a few more sticks of incense. I see that the little brother in front of me has a good face, and he is very fateful. Let him be exempt from his rules. ”

"Yes, sir," the little boy was obviously a little unhappy when he heard this. The worship of the stone bindings is a public worship once a month. If it's temporary, you need to follow his rules. Usually no one comes, and usually one or two people who are in a hurry to worship are also not bad for money. His rules include a lot of money to open the door. This boy has made a lot of money here. Although he didn't like it, the little boy had to listen to the old man's words and obediently open the door.

The scholar understood it, leaned over and said, "Thank you for your love." After thanking the master, he walked quickly to the little boy and stuffed a money bag.

The little boy took the silver bag, feeling that this weight was not light, and he was immediately happy. opened the door suddenly, took out a few more sticks of incense, and handed them to the scholar.

The scholar entered the house and shouted, "I look at its image, the breeze is awe-inspiring"

"The Ninefold Son of Heaven is noble, and the fifth-class princes are respected.

Striving to be like a cloth doctor for all beings, not teaching life is a good thing. ”

"Childe, what a poem. Little boy, go out first, I will worship with this son today. Do not disturb without permission. Xu Jinsong threw over a money bag again.

Xiao Tong happily took it and went outside the door to count today's harvest.

"I also asked for the name of my son. Xu Jinsong leaned on this wall and lit three sticks of high incense.

"Xiaosheng is not talented, how dare you call a big name, a junior, surnamed Li, and a famous Chengjie. Li Chengjie also lit the three pillars of high incense.

The two of them, standing in a row, faced with the stone-bound statue, bowed deeply.

"It turns out that you are Xie Yuanlang of this imperial examination. See you today, three lives are lucky. When he said this, he sat down on the cushion and handed over the three pillars of high incense. Obviously, let this Xie Yuanlang help him do the things of his legs and feet, and go to the incense.
