Chapter VII County Examination

After breakfast, the students of the entire county school entered their respective dormitories and read books intensively, after all, it is a matter of life, even children of a few years old know that the stakes are high, not to mention, the children who can enter this county school are all extremely intelligent people, and cannot be looked at with ordinary eyes.

But there is only one exception, that is Li Tiedan, who has nothing to do, after Li Tiedan was hit by Han Yuanshan, although he was silent for a moment, he returned to normal after a while. The bold Li Tiedan started Xu Ran's idea, yesterday due to the first time leaving home, plus too many new things, Li Tiedan did not take care of it, today after a leisure, Li Tiedan had a strong sense of curiosity about the book in Xu Ran's hand, Li Tiedan thought that he had read countless books, except for books such as gods and monsters, he was not interested, just a pastime to pass the time when he was a child. The book that may make the vice president of Baiyun Academy not leave his hand, Li Tiedan is very interested in reading it.

At this moment, Li Tiedan was outside Xu Ran's door, thinking about what method was more appropriate to use to get in. As for where Li Tiedan knew about Xu Ran's residence, the black-robed supervisor said that he wanted to cry. The prefectural examination stipulates that no one can enter or leave the prefectural school until the test is completed. Vice President Xu Ran is his boss, so he naturally can't control him, and Xu Ran won't tell outsiders the news inside. But Li Tiedan is different, so when Li Tiedan wants to go out to find Xu Ran, he naturally can't agree. So Li Tiedan retreated and asked Xu Ran's residence, but the black-robed supervisor didn't think that Li Tiedan could go out through the gate guarded by the guards, so he told him in order to appease Li Tiedan. The kid took out a hook lock from his luggage, climbed over the wall and left. Before leaving, he pressed a piece of paper with a few pieces of jerky on the table in the main hall, and it was written on the paper that he would go back when he went.

"What do you do outside the door, come in. When Li Tiedan was thinking about his words, Xu Ran's voice came from the door. Li Tiedan stuck out his tongue and pushed the door and walked in, "Uncle Qing, I miss you, come and see you." Li Tiedan said with a sneer.

I thought it was a very lame reason, but Xu Ran was stunned, this tone and demeanor were too similar to the person in his memory, could it be that people really have an afterlife? Xu Ran looked at Li Tiedan, who was full of thoughts, touched his chin, and asked playfully, "Do you think I will believe it?" Say, it would be too worthless to run out of the county school just to see me. ”

Li Tiedan looked at Xu Ran, who had a soft face, and somehow let go of his caution, and said honestly, "Uncle Qing, I want to know what books you read." Xu Ran handed over the book he was holding in his hand, "That's it?"

Li Tiedan was stunned for a moment, this is different from the scene he thought, shouldn't he have to go to great lengths to see this book? But he still took it and flipped through a few pages, "Huh, Uncle Qing" Li Tiedan glanced at the cover of the book, "This book is nothing, it's all blank paper." ”

Xu Ran smiled and touched Li Tiedan's head, "You will understand in the future." Let's go back now, otherwise it will be difficult for Steward Li. ”

Li Tiedan scratched his head blankly, and then remembered that he had run out secretly, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Xu Ran, and hurriedly ran back.

"Alas, this trip, instead of satisfying this curiosity, was taught a lesson, and I really found my own guilt. Li Tiedan stood at the door of the lobby and thought angrily. Director Li next to him triumphantly bit the jerky in his hand, thinking in his heart that he must let this kid stand until night, and he would never pay attention to what he said.

In the evening, Li Tiedan sat opposite Steward Li and talked eloquently, "As soon as the vice president saw me at that time, he said: You kid is a genius, and the exam is useless to you. Then just give you a place. I tried every means to refuse, but I had no choice but to accept it, so the county test was just a formality for me. ”

Steward Li is also very optimistic about this child with the same surname in his family, chewing the dried meat over and over again and saying, "Since the vice president has taken a fancy to it, there are only four books and five classics, and there is no big problem when you think about it." And I see that you kid is not just the kind of dead student, his brain is very bright, I tell you the truth, I have also met a lot of students of Baiyun Academy over the years, but like you, this is the first time I have seen it. ”

"Four books and five classics, one word and one fu?"

"That's right, what is the test if you don't take this in the county exam?" Master Li replied of course.

Li Tiedan wiped the cold sweat on his head, don't look at the remoteness of their village, but according to the collection of books, even in the Great Wei Kingdom, where they are still learning, their village can be compared to seven or eight towns, and of course there will be no sage books like the Four Books and Five Classics. But the problem is that he, Li Tiedan, only glanced at it a few times at most, and never memorized the content, as for writing words and fu, he has written a few limericks, but he doesn't know if he can do it or not.

"Yes, since it's a county exam, then you must take these tests. Li Tiedan echoed weakly, and secretly thanked Xu Ran in his heart. In fact, it's no wonder that Xu Ran, who would know that a person who doesn't know the Four Books and the Five Classics actually came over to take the county exam with a big grin. In the final analysis, the tiger skin of the village chief is to blame, in short, the first person in a thousand years who does not know the Four Books and Five Classics at all entered Baiyun Academy in this way.

The two had a very happy conversation, and Steward Li befriended Li Tiedan, who had great potential, and Li Tiedan also got a lot of information about Baiyun Academy. After dinner, Li Tiedan went back to the room, and Wang Han and the others were still reading at night. Li Tiedan didn't bother the two, lying on the bed pondering these things today, I don't know how long I thought about it, Li Tiedan fell asleep suddenly.

Early the next morning, Li Tiedan accompanied Wang Han and the others to the examination room, and encouraged the two, Li Tiedan sat next to Steward Li, and he didn't have to participate in today's county exam, so naturally he didn't have to sit down. A moment later, there were more than a hundred tables and chairs in the county college, and on each table and chair sat a student, either writing a book or meditating. The annual county examination kicked off at the same time in the county schools of each county of the Great Wei Kingdom.

The county examination is a more important examination than the imperial examination in the Great Wei Kingdom, because the county examination basically includes all the talented children in the Great Wei Kingdom, not to mention Baiyun Academy, even those who stayed in the county school after taking the county examination, many of them became officials of the Great Wei State. Compared with the imperial examination, the county examination is undoubtedly more important.

After an hour and a half of answering, the county exam ended, many students turned pale, Li Tiedan even saw a few children crying because of their bad exams, and it was here that others found out that this was just a group of children under the age of eight. It would be too difficult for them to write the Four Books and the Five Classics, which took more than ten years of hard study to understand thoroughly. But there has never been a shortage of geniuses in this world, such as Han Yuanshan.

Li Tiedan looked blankly at the bustling peers in the courtyard, and then he realized that the path of cultivating immortals was far more cruel than he imagined, and this was just the beginning.
