Chapter 230: Suzhou

After Xu Xian came to his senses, within three days, the injuries in his body not only fully recovered, but also better than before he fell into a coma.

This state is better, not only referring to the medicinal effect of the rejuvenating grass, but also at the level of consciousness and soul!

Because of the reason of "Song of Righteousness", although Xu Xian has not been able to control the Haoran righteousness at the level of 'Weeping Ghosts and Gods' for the time being, his realm has already remained at this level, and naturally his understanding of Haoran righteousness has become more and more profound.

Haoran righteousness is omnipresent and pervades everything in the world, so Xu Xian can distinguish the breath contained in the mountains, rivers, and even the stars, and also distinguish the luck that can be as small as one person and as big as the entire Dali Dynasty......

These fortunes affect all things all the time, as if they have been spread out into an invisible net, netting the heavens and the earth!

Although Xu Xian's current cultivation level of Haoran Righteousness was already the highest in the world, and no one could beat him, he still felt that he still had a long way to go.

The majestic righteousness at the level of 'weeping ghosts and gods' is incomparably majestic for a single individual. But if it is placed in the luck of the Dali Dynasty, it will seem insignificant, like a drop in the ocean.

In addition, when Xu Xianyang was cultivating out of his body, he found that his speed was a few points faster than before, and his divine soul became light and happy!

Xu Xian didn't know where this change came from, he could only guess in his heart that it might be the reason for the medicinal effect of the fairy grass 'Rejuvenating Grass' brought back by the lady, or it might be the reason for "Song of Righteousness".

He didn't know that this was the benefit that the Great Emperor who lived on the Ziwei Star had injured a trace of his own origin at a great cost!

Increasing the speed of cultivation is only a small part of the benefits......

......

......

Autumn is crisp and the leaves are colorful.

Jiangnan at this time, although it is not as beautiful as the fireworks in March, it also has a unique charm. In previous years, at this time, many talented people would organize activities such as poetry clubs and autumn outings, and drink and compose lyrics.

Spring and autumn scenes are all landscapes that can inspire poets.

But this year, for many talents, they don't have the heart to enjoy the autumn scenery, because the autumn township test is coming!

The order of the imperial examination of the Dali Dynasty is divided into county examinations, government examinations, hospital examinations, township examinations, meeting examinations, and palace examinations!

Among them, the county examination and the government examination are to obtain the merit of children, and the college examination is to obtain the merit of Xiucai.

The first three tests, although the difficulty is not small, and the importance is not low, but compared with the township test, it is too bad in any aspect!

The county examination is to gain fame, and in the eyes of the students of the Dali Dynasty, this pass is tantamount to a pass of 'Leaping Dragon Gate'!

If you pass the exam, it is equivalent to a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and from then on your life will be very different, and you will become the envy of everyone, and you will have a bright future!

If you are lucky, or if you have a little relationship, you can take up an official position and become an official of the imperial court!

However, if you want to pass the township examination to become a lifter, it is also quite difficult, almost no less than the earth college entrance examination in later generations to be admitted to the top universities such as 'Tsinghua University' and 'Peking University'.

In the previous three levels of the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination, the candidates were mainly young people, and those over 30 years old belonged to a very small minority. However, when it comes to the township examination, there are many candidates over the age of 30, accounting for the majority! There are even some elderly people with gray hair and beards!

Only geniuses like Xu Xian and Fang Zhongyong can come to the township examination room at a young age.

As for the entrance examination, it is even more difficult. It was only recruited once every three years, and the number of people recruited each time was uncertain, depending on the number of official positions in the imperial court at that time. Because after winning the Jinshi, the imperial court must be assigned official positions, even if it is the most unsatisfactory, if it is assigned, at least it is the county!

The magistrate of the county, but he is the head of a county, and he is a parent official.

Therefore, when taking the exam, if there are many vacant positions, then this year's Jinshi will recruit a little more, and if there are few vacant positions, then recruit a little less, and the range is generally between 100-300.

That is to say, the entire Dali Dynasty has a population of hundreds of millions, and the number of Jinshi every year is no more than 100 people!

I once saw how cruel the imperial examination was, and it was not much more than the way of cultivation. Under the feet of every jinshi, it can be said that he is stepping on thousands of 'dry bones', and he will succeed in ten thousand bones!

After Xu Xian completely recovered, he took Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing from Hangzhou Mansion to Suzhou Mansion within two days, preparing to participate in the township test.

However, compared to the nervous state of many students preparing for the exam, Xu Xian is much more relaxed.

He has not been idle this year, although he did not go to the capital to study like Fang Zhongyong, but he has not relaxed his studies, and now he is confident and full of confidence. The ten days before the exam are suitable for relaxation and no need to cram.

Songhe Tower.

It is not the top and most expensive restaurant in Suzhou City, but it is the most famous place to eat crabs.

At this time when the autumn breeze is cool and the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, the first food to eat in Suzhou is naturally the hairy crab in Yangcheng Lake.

"It's not delicious, it's not delicious...... Xiaoqing looked at the hairy crab on the plate and was a little worried, and he didn't understand what this hairy crab was delicious. Not to mention the taste of crab roe and crab meat, it is too troublesome to accurately remove the meat and crab roe from the shell!

Raising his head and looking at Xu Xian, who was eating deliciously, he said angrily: "Serve other dishes, I won't eat crabs!"

Bai Suzhen shook her head with a smile, sandwiched the crab meat she had just separated into Xiaoqing's plate, and said, "Actually, this hairy crab tastes really good, as long as you master the method." Xiaoqing, you just lack patience. ”

Bai Suzhen has been practicing for so many years, and it is the first time she has tasted hairy crabs, and after Xu Xian taught her once, she accurately mastered the skills.

"Thank you, sister!" Xiaoqing thanked her sweetly when she saw this, and began to eat the ready-made crab meat on the plate, while not forgetting to glare at Xu Xian. said: "It's better to be a sister, unlike some people who only care about eating by themselves!"

Xu Xian smiled and didn't speak, but his attention was attracted by the guests at a few tables next to the restaurant.

Most of the guests at these tables are the same as him, they are well-known scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, and they came to Suzhou City to participate in the township examination not long after. And the topic they talked about was even related to him.

"Alas, our hope for this township test is very slim, there are too many hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"

Xu Xian, Fang Zhongyong, Shen Zhou, Qiu Ying, Lu Zijiu...... Our Suzhou government admitted 40 lifters at one time. Let's just wait for their batch of people to pass the exam, and then take the exam in three years......"

Most lamented.

Although the literati are light, if the gap is too big, even if you want to be light, there is no way.

"However, with so many talents this year, who do you say can obtain this position of Xie Yuan?" asked another person with great interest.

"Who else can there be, naturally Xu Xian, the current number one talent in Jiangnan......! But Fang Zhongyong also has a chance. I heard that Fang Zhongyong went to the capital to study at Yingtianfu Academy for a year this year, but Xu Xian didn't go, maybe this time Fang Zhongyong will be even more prosperous. Someone commented.

Suddenly, a slightly harsh voice sounded: "Xu Xian, Fang Zhongyong, what are they, they also want to get the position of Xie Yuan this time?"
