The weather in Jincheng is like the changing face in Sichuan opera, cloudy and uncertain.

In the past two days, the autumn rain has stopped and stopped, and it has stopped and fallen, often the sun is still shining in the morning, and it will be dark at noon, so that the people of Jincheng do not know how many times they have to change their clothes in a day.

On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, just after the ugly time, it was still pitch black outside, and I couldn't see my five fingers, only the morning star in the sky twinkled and twinkled.

At a time when many people were still asleep, Chen Fusheng had already gotten up early in the morning, for no other reason, today was the day of the township test.

After hurriedly using a bowl of green rice porridge and swallowing two eggs, Chen Fusheng took the examination box, took the carriage with the "Jincheng Township Test" hanging in front of the car, and went straight to the Gongyuan in the east of the city.

Lift the window and look out, both in front and behind are exactly the same carriages with the same lanterns, and the cars that used to clean up the garbage at night and deliver firewood to large families and restaurants have disappeared cleanly.

This is also a common practice in various places, during the township examination, the whole city is under martial law, and the sedan chair that does not hang this kind of lantern is not allowed to go on the street, so as not to collide with the talent of the examination.

After all, compared with the previous three tests, the weight of lifting people is much heavier, after all, Xiucai is still only white, but he already has the qualifications to be an official.

If Chen Fusheng had made a magic weapon rise into the air at this time, and looked down from above, he would have found that countless burning fire dragons had been born in this dark Jincheng, clustering around the tribute courtyard in the east of the city, forming an unforgettable scene of dragons winning pearls.

Chen Fusheng put down the curtain and slowly closed his eyes, the township tried to work hard for three days, or let's talk about something else.

The passage along the way was unimpeded, and the carriage was also moving smoothly, and before the coachman could speak, Chen Fusheng had already opened his eyes, and he knew from the carriage that was slowly stopping that the Gongyuan had arrived.

In August, the days are still long and the nights are short, and although it is not too late to come out, when the time comes, the sky is already overcast.

Stepping out of the carriage, Chen Fusheng looked around, because of the township test, the bustling market in front of the Gongyuan in the past was no longer visible, and instead of a black oppressive human head, the front of the Gongyuan was crowded densely.

These are naturally all the scholars who participated in the township test in Shuzhong this year, and the scene is really grand, no, but the small fight of the third test of the county government can be compared.

But looking at the appearance of these readers with square scarves and straight jackets, Chen Fusheng just smiled.

Jincheng as the provincial capital of Shuzhong, every time the scholars from all the provinces poured in when they went to the township test, the inn inn naturally refused to let go of this good business opportunity to sit on the ground and raise the price, and the price increased several times at once, but they were all full, and the supply exceeded demand

But you can imagine how bad the environment of the inn that has undertaken such a large amount of traffic is, not to mention reading quietly, I'm afraid that I can't even sleep well, needless to say, this alone, Chen Fusheng doesn't know how much advantage they have.

"Floating life, come here. ”

Looking up and seeing a familiar figure, Chen Fusheng smiled slightly and stepped forward, although there were many scholars who participated in the township test between the two, but Chen Fusheng was stunned that he didn't touch a person's body.

The unexpected "pop" sound did not come, Chen Fusheng lightly let Ye Xin slap his palm, and smiled lightly: "Don't move, I won't see you in January, you treat me like this?"

didn't shoot Chen Fusheng, Ye Xin closed his palms, patted lightly, raised his eyebrows, and scolded with a smile: "I haven't told you yet, you just counted me first, and you went to retreat and study without telling me, so I went to your house several times." ”

Yes, after thinking about it, Ye Xin still couldn't bear it, and decided to take this subject, which is also human nature, although his father is the envoy of the festival, but he is not the eldest son, his father's power in the army is not his turn to take over, if he just gives his eldest brother a hand, how can he be satisfied, not to mention the noble and martial arts, he does not want to bet his life on the army.

Therefore, this scene is very important to him, and in the future, whether it is the government or the people, it will all be done here. If not, he'll have to go back and wait three years to come back. No one wants to waste another three years, so he is bound to win this time!

Shaking his shoulders, Chen Fusheng didn't say anything, he understood deeply, like the other party, he also had a reason not to come, but it was not so open-minded, but with his level of understanding of Ye Xin, it was not too difficult for Ye Xin to get his hands on this time, and it depended on luck for Jinshi to be admitted.

Thinking of this, he changed the topic, lowered his voice, and asked, "I only came back the day before yesterday, and I didn't know much about this examiner. Do you know where he is?"

Although no matter what the other party is, he has the confidence to successfully win Qiu Yu with the article, but it is always good to be prepared, and he believes that with the power of Ye Xin's family, he dare not say it clearly, and the general information of the examiner has already been obtained.

Ye Xin has been dealing with him for a year, so he naturally knows the meaning of the string song, looks left and right, and suddenly lowers his voice and says: "Brother Chen, I heard that the chief examiner this time is from the imperial history, named Jiang Yuan, it is said that when he took the exam, it was Wen Lao Xiangguo who did the main exam, and he was extremely safe and square. ”

"Is Old Xiangguo his teacher?" Chen Fusheng nodded secretly and thanked him, "Brother Ye, thank you for your advice." ”

In this sentence, there is a lot of information, Yushi assumed the responsibility of supervising the rumors, and he was the protégé of the leader of the old party, with a square personality, with these three aspects, it was enough to make a good article.

Born in the old party, naturally you can't talk about words like changing the law, and most of the imperial history pays attention to a moral person, so it will definitely not be wrong to start from these aspects.

Thinking of this, Chen Fusheng quickly went through the article of Wen Lao Xiangguo in his heart, Wen Lao Xiangguo has been in charge of the court for more than ten years, and he is a scholar, and his articles are naturally circulated all over the world.

A famous scholar of the previous dynasty once said that "kung fu is outside the poem", and the imperial examination is not, even if your article is full of flowers, and the article does not meet the eyes of the examiner, then there is only the wrongful of hatred, and there is no place to reason.

It's just that, at best, it's just to buy insurance, and if you want to get a good score, you still have to work the article itself.

"No, you and I brothers, these things are nothing, if they become officials in the same dynasty in the future, they will have to join hands with each other. And everyone talked about it at the recent conference, and basically everyone knows about it, and it's just that you hide in the mountains alone, so you don't know anything about it. ”
