Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, it is April.

After the Qingming Festival, Jincheng suddenly became lively, and the reason was very simple, Jinjiang Academy was going to recruit disciples.

Jinjiang Academy was built on the site of the Wenweng Stone Room, in front of the academy, all people regardless of poverty, rich and poor lined up in front of the gate of the ancient Binglingjiang Han Zai Yingduo with the inscription Jiahui Min'e Ruins.

Chen Fusheng dressed up, looked at the time, stretched out his hand to tease the brilliant peach and plum, and waited to hear his name.

Fortunately, Jinjiang Academy, which has organized countless entrance exams, is still very experienced in handling it, and it didn't take long for thousands of people to be taken to the academy's large flat.

The mountain chief, dressed in a soap-edged white silk robe, wearing a black hat, quietly appeared on the podium, pressed his hands down slightly, quieted the students, and then said: "The contemptible person is Wang Yan, the head of this college, and I hereby introduce the structure of the academy to you. The institute is divided into upper, middle and lower schools, the lower academy is designed for beginners, those who pass the primary school are promoted to the middle academy to study arts and sciences, and those who have excellent articles are promoted to the upper academy to study intensive knowledge or prepare for the imperial examination. Of course, I know that many of you are here for Mr. Wen, but Mr. Wen is teaching in the Upper Academy, and if you can't pass the middle and lower courts, you will naturally not have the opportunity to learn from him. Now please take the assessment according to the number plate. ”

As soon as the words fell, the senior brothers of the academy handed out good cards to everyone, and Chen Fusheng took this bamboo card, but it looked like it was a Xuanzi No. 9. He knew that he was going to be tested in the third examination room, and there were eight people in front of him.

After bowing to the senior brothers, Chen Fusheng asked the location of the Xuanzi examination room and walked away.

It didn't take long for the students to arrive one after another, and everyone tacitly arranged in two rows of long snakes according to the serial number.

The first eight went in quickly, and they didn't come out slowly, but there was no embarrassment on their faces, after all, those who entered the lower courtyard without assessment and were prepared to go to the second middle court have some strength.

Seeing that it was his turn, Chen Fusheng exhaled lightly and walked into the room.

The room is not big, and what greets you is two long tables put together, and behind them sit three Confucian scholars, old, middle and young.

Closing the door, Chen Fusheng handed over the bamboo card and stood respectfully in front of the table in a just right position.

"Name, age, place of origin?" The old man in the middle clasped the number plate on the table, picked up the pen and began to record.

"Chen Fusheng, eighteen, Qingshen County, Meishan. ”

"Chen Fusheng of Qingshen County, Meishan, why don't you study at the local Zhongyan Academy nearby. But the Dongpo monks were born here?" the middle-aged man asked.

"In Shuzhong, students have heard that Jinjiang Academy has the longest history and the highest status, and most people naturally want to worship the best family. ”

"Eighteen years old, where did you get your education before?" the young scholar asked curiously.

"Students are taught by their fathers, and then they study on their own. ”

"Father taught, ...... is the name of the honor?"

"My father is pictured below, and he has also been on the yellow list in Beijing. ”

"It turns out that you are the son of Yuande, you are really jealous of the talent, I also heard that you are studying hard at home, and I have never seen you. The middle-aged Confucian sighed lightly, looked at the old man and the dazed young scholar, turned his head sideways, and explained softly.

"Since you have a family history, you don't need to think about it in elementary school, just ask you directly from the Thirteen Classics, I will read a paragraph and you will continue to recite it, Gongsun Chou asked: Master and Son Gazi are the prime ministers, and they have to do the Tao, although this is not different from the overlord. In this case, is it tempting?"

This is the second chapter of Gongsun Chou, and there is no difficulty for Chen Fusheng, who has never forgotten him, but he speaks aloud: "Mencius said, "No. I'm forty unmoved. He said, "If so, then the master is far away from Meng Ben?" and said, "It's not difficult, I don't want to tell the son first." He said, "Is there a way to be unmoved?" and said, "Yes." Beigong is not brave: not skinny, not fleeing; thinking of a little frustration to people, if the tart is in the city; not subject to brown broad, nor subject to the king of ten thousand times; look at the king of ten thousand times, if the prickly brown man: no strict princes; evil voice, will be the opposite. Meng's almsgiving is also brave. ......”

"Okay, let's stop, let's have another "poem", just choose "Zijin". ”

"Qingqing Zijin, relax my heart.

Even if I don't go, Zining won't make a sound?

Qingqingzi Pei, I think about it.

Even if I don't go, Zining won't come?

Picky and embarrassed, in the city.

Not seen for a day, like March!"

"Yes, I remember it very firmly, let's talk about the passage where Zilu, Zeng Hui, Ran You, and Gong Xihua sit in the advanced part of the Analects. ”

There are two sighs in the Analects, this "I and the point" has always been the focus of Confucianism, Chen Fusheng naturally had been prepared, and he came as soon as he opened his mouth, and the three gentlemen nodded one after another.

"Very good, take this number plate, and wait for the afternoon to listen to the bell to participate in the upper house assessment. The old Confucian in the center is still old and childlike, and he threw the bamboo card with his hand.

Chen Fusheng took it easily, and the back of the bamboo card had already been approved with a red pen and bowed to retire.

The examination room in the upper courtyard is much more formal, not only for oral exams, but for exam papers to be handed out in the classroom for answering.

As soon as the bell rings, prepare for the exam.

The bell rings twice and enters the examination room.

When the bell rings three times, it is the exam.

Stepping on the second bell and stepping on the scattered petals on the bluestone slab, Chen Fusheng and a group of students who passed the preliminary examination climbed the stairs to prepare for the second exam.

There are a lot of questions in the re-examination. Chen Fusheng opened the test paper, and there were two exam questions on it, namely two scriptures, one poem, one fu, one treatise, one question, and three mathematics, which ordinary people would never be able to complete in one afternoon.

But Chen Fusheng is obviously not an ordinary person, there are three techniques, one geometry, one calculation, and one synthesis, ordinary students have not studied these and can only give up, but when he flipped through the miscellaneous books of the Heavenly Desire Venerable, he was also quite interested in the creation of heavenly creations, which was not difficult for him.

Jingyi and Shifu are also the same, but he really has no actual governing experience, and he really has no certainty, but at this point, everyone is standing on a unified starting line, and he doesn't need to worry.

Putting down the pen in his hand and gently drying the ink, Chen Fusheng looked at the people who bowed their heads left and right to answer the questions, and smiled slightly.

When he was doing the questions, he probably understood that the academy had so many questions, obviously because he wanted to have a comprehensive understanding of what the students were learning and what they were interested in, not just to prepare for the imperial examination.

Arrange the answer sheets in turn, walk up to the invigilator, and give a gentle salute.

"Hey, you're done so quickly?" After a little flipping through it, the gentleman's face was full of surprise, he naturally understood how huge the number of questions was, and he didn't even think that any student would be able to complete it within the allotted time.

"Students are just a fluke. ”

"Things in the world, how can there be any luck at all, Meishan Chen Fusheng, I have written it down. ”
