The time for the admission test was half an hour, and soon it was time to collect the papers, and the invigilator reminded loudly: "There is still a stick of incense time, and you should hurry up if you don't finish writing." ”

Hearing this, those who had written the chest Chinese chapter early naturally smiled, spread the test paper flat on the table, held their heads high, and occasionally looked around, although they were pretending to be calm, they still could not hide the slightest smugness in their eyes, obviously extremely confident in their work.

All the students here are all talented people, all of them are talented people, otherwise it would be impossible to be admitted as a protégé by Chongwen Academy.

They can finish it before others, not to mention the quality of the article, just one "quick thinking", the speed of writing has an advantage, naturally a little happy.

The rest of the people heard the invigilator's words but their faces changed slightly, some of them were nearing the end of their writing, but they were not very flustered, but some of them were sweating all over, and even the hand holding the pen was trembling, so they almost threw the pen out.

Seeing this, Qiao Chenan couldn't help but shake his head slightly, just looking at the performance of these people in this small test, he could take a peek at the leopard, and roughly guess whether they were people who could achieve great things......

All living beings are in it.

But in the final analysis, in the end, it is a matter of one's own knowledge, if there is really a talent for Guan Zhongleyi, how can a small exam be taken to heart?

He dipped his pen in ink, glanced at the blank rice paper in front of him, and his heart flashed in his heart for a moment countless good texts that he had recited in his previous life, and immediately put down the pen and paper, and slowly wrote it.

The fragrance of ink spreads, although Qiao Chen'an has not specially practiced calligraphy, but there is a special momentum between the pen, the pen walks the dragon and snake, like a silver hook and iron stroke, through the back of the paper, but he frowned before writing a few sentences.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly rubbed the rice paper in front of him a few times and threw it aside.

The poem he wrote earlier is a classic, but it has two shortcomings, one is that it is too classic, and it is a bit overkill to deal with such an admission test, and the other is that the content is somewhat undesirable. It was for these two reasons that he decided to give up and write another song.

But it is not easy to find a poem that suits the occasion in a hurry, Qiao Chen sighed lightly, it was the first time that it was so difficult to find "cheating".

Suddenly, a cold air hit, and with a twist of his hair, Qiao Chenan subconsciously turned his head to look out, only to find that a fist-sized hole had broken in the window at some point, and cold air continued to overflow into the room.

But when he looked through the window, he felt a light in front of him for a moment, and it turned out that there was a light snow outside, and a little silver fell, like a fairy dancing between heaven and earth.

A cold plum in the courtyard, bright red like blood, because of a cold wave last night, many petals are hung with ice crystals, in the afternoon under the light of the slanting sun with brilliant streamers, like silver scales, faintly there is a fragrance of nothingness with the wind into the nasal cavity, which makes people feel refreshed.

He smiled suddenly, a smile on his lips, took the paper again, dipped it in ink, and swept down his pen.

When he finished writing the last word, Mr. Invigilator's voice sounded at the right time: "The time has come, all the beings put down their pens and finish the question." Immediately afterwards, the waiter collected the examination papers one by one, sorted them into a single paper, and the invigilator took them away, presumably to be sent to the dean.

As soon as the gentleman left, there was a burst of lamentation in the room, and many people were sad, looking extremely dissatisfied with what they had just played.

But after the admission test, nothing could be changed, and before it was dark, the beings did not hurry to leave, but began to talk to the others indoors.

Obviously, the exam time has been carefully considered, and the remaining hour is reserved for new students to make friends.

Not far away, a tall, handsome young man was in the center, while the others stood around like stars and moons, all with a respectful look on their faces, and the young man smiled and seemed to enjoy the feeling.

"I don't know my brother's surname?" suddenly heard a question in his ears.

Qiao Chen'an heard the prestige, but saw an ordinary-looking man with a stocky figure looking at him, and replied, "No, Qiao Chen'an." ”

Unexpectedly, the man was surprised when he heard this: "Qiao Chen'an, Your Excellency is a family Qiantang?"

Qiao Chen'an was surprised: "Exactly, how does Brother Tai know where my home is?"

"Haha, it turned out to be Brother Qiao, in Xia Zhengyuan, it was a local. I have heard of Brother Qiao's name for a long time, and he is known for his talent and learning, and today I finally have to see my brother's respect!"

Zheng Yuan bowed his hand, and did not deliberately lower his voice when he said this, so many people in the room could hear it clearly, and many people immediately looked here, and they were all curious: "He is that Qiao Chen'an?"

There was a look of admiration in his eyes, and he subconsciously leaned closer to him.

Some people were puzzled and asked, "Qiao Chen'an, is it very famous?"

Someone explained: "Brother Qiao is a native of Qiantang County, and he has been known as a prodigy since he was a child, and he was admitted to the academy with the name of the top student in the Hangzhou Tongsheng test, and he is only eight buckets high!"

"What!

The man was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "I've seen Brother Qiao!" He only reluctantly entered the academy, and when he saw the first place in the Hangzhou Tongsheng Examination, he was naturally very respectful.

Qiao Chenan touched his nose, his face showed surprise, he didn't expect that he would become a celebrity now, even if he came to Hangzhou, there were acquaintances, is this the so-called "celebrity effect"?

......

In a study in the backyard.

The invigilator respectfully placed a stack of test papers on the table and said, "Dean Wang, this is the paper of this admission test, please take a look!"

On the other side of the table sat an old man who looked to be about fifty years old, with gray hair, a face bearing the marks of time, a pair of bright eyes, and a blue and white Confucian shirt, looking very wise.

It is Wang Lizhi, the dean of Chongwen Academy.

Wang Lizhi nodded, took the top volume and looked at it carefully, and said, "The narrative is reasonable, the writing is smooth, not bad." By the way, I heard that the level of students in this class is good, are there any particularly good?"

The invigilator hesitated for a moment before he took out a copy from the stack of papers on the table, presented it to Wang Lizhi, and said, "Dean, please take a look." ”

He had already seen it beforehand, so he had a rough idea of the merits of each person's answers.

"In the midst of the snow and ice,

Different peaches and plums mixed with fragrant dust.

Suddenly, a night of fragrant hair,

Scatter the pure air and fill the sky. ”

The sound of recitation sounded in the room, and Wang Lizhi's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he slapped his thigh sharply, and said with a smile: "Okay, good! What a good poem! I have already obtained the essence of the poem! What a word borrowed from poetry!"

Mr. Invigilator's body shook imperceptibly, his face was already full of surprise, I remember that since Wang Lizhi took over Chongwen Academy, he has not been so excited!

I didn't expect to be so excited by a new student's poetry this time!

Others may not know, but he knows what kind of high position the person in front of him once was, although he has retired from that position, but the influence is still there, if this student named Qiao Chenan is promoted by Wang Lizhi because of this, his career in the future can be said to be unimpeded!

I couldn't help but feel lucky for this kid named Qiao Chen'an.

After Wang Lizhi sighed, he looked at the frontispiece and read lightly: "Qiao Chen'an, it's a good name, do you know where he is from, and how he came to make this poem!"

"That's right, this life is a ...... of Qiantang County," Mr. Invigilator slowly explained his situation.

Wang Lizhi looked at the book in the poem, but he sighed in his heart, the sentence "different peaches and plums mixed with fragrant dust" is almost a portrayal of his official career, he does not seek thousands of family wealth in this life, nor does he seek the company of beauties, what he wants is not the arrogance and nobility that belongs to Mei?

People live for a lifetime, just to stick to the righteousness in their hearts, how can they be in the same stream with the flies and dogs?

It is precisely because he is too upright and speaks out in the court that he will be demoted to this place and become the dean of this academy, and it will take some time to enter Beijing again.

Waving his hand to pull the invigilator back, Wang Lizhi got up and came to the window, looked in the direction of the capital from afar, and whispered for a while: "I have been away from Beijing for a long time, and that family is afraid that it is ready to move again......
