One morning in the first month of the New Year, Tao Ziyun and the people in the order watched the dragon and lion dance performance at the temple fair venue of the Fire Temple, and saw Zhao Jinglan and Cai Huixin, and there was a young man next to them.

Tao Ziyun put aside his companions, walked over to greet Zhao Jinglan, and asked her curiously, "Who is that man?

Unexpectedly, Cai Huixin interjected: "What are you talking about! He is my younger brother Cai Penger." ”

"Oh, so you brought your brother out to play!" Tao Ziyun quickly understood what was going on.

Zhao Jinglan glanced at Tao Ziyun: "She took her younger brother out to play, what's strange, I don't believe you didn't bring your sister out to play." ”

Tao Ziyun just wanted to blame Zhao Jinglan, and another voice came: "We're here too!"

The person who came was Zhao Wenfeng, followed by his wife, a son and two daughters, only to hear him say: "I came here with our military advisor Cai Youyue!"

Tao Ziyun took a closer look, and another person stood up next to Zhao Wenfeng, it turned out that the military advisor Zhao Wenfeng said was Cai Huixin's father, named Cai Youyue.

Cai Youyue only nodded to his daughter Cai Huixin, and greeted Tao Ziyun: "It's sunny today, and on such a warm day, you didn't go to pay New Year's greetings?"

"Today is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, according to customs, a single day is not suitable for going to relatives to pay New Year's greetings, just do something of your own, you can also come to the temple fair, tomorrow double day to go a little better. Tao Ziyun solemnly replied to Cai Youyue, not because he was superstitious, but because he had been used to it for many years. He asked Cai Youyue rhetorically, "What about you, why did you come to the temple fair today?"

Cai Youyue thought about it for a while, and then told Tao Ziyun and said: "Maybe it's what you said, my family didn't go to pay New Year's greetings on a single day." But we, the soldiers of the rebel army, don't care about this, Zhao Wenfeng, who is not far away, brought his family to my house, and his children heard that it was lively here, so they wanted to come here to play, so we had to accompany us. ”

"Did you go to Miss Huang's house to pay New Year's greetings?" Zhao Jinglan interjected with concern and asked Tao Ziyun.

Tao Ziyun blurted out and replied to Zhao Jinglan: "Did you go? I went to her on the second day of the first month to pay New Year's greetings." ”

"What's going on?" Zhao Jinglan naturally asked, for her. She understands the situation, and she is simply knowingly asking.

Zhao Jinglan's question touched the hidden pain in Tao Ziyun's heart. He was depressed, but he still insisted on replying, "It's still the same as before, she is lukewarm to me." ”

Cai Youyue shook her head helplessly: "Alas, you descendants. Why is it so unlikable and disgusting? My son is also facing this problem. So I can't say anything about it. I can't help you with this, so you can do it yourself. ”

"I'm from here, you tell me about your situation, I hope I can give you some ideas, preferably if I can help you realize your wishes. Zhao Wenfeng, who came with his wife and children, volunteered to solve problems for Tao Ziyun.

Moss Yu pursed her lips and advised Zhao Wenfeng to say, "General Zhao, don't worry about it." You can't help Tao Gongzi with this. ”

Zhao Wenfeng retorted disapprovingly: "Pure nonsense, you didn't see that I have a wife and children. I have experience in hooking up girls, and you actually say that I can't help Tao Gongzi?!

Tao Ziyun smiled self-deprecatingly: "General Zhao, I understand your kindness, my situation is different from yours, and it is very difficult, so I won't trouble you." ”

Zhao Wenfeng saw that Tao Ziyun was so serious, and asked Tao Ziyun in astonishment: "What is so difficult? ”

"To tell you the truth, this has just passed the New Year, it was the year before last, the year before last, the Chung Yeung Festival, Miss Huang proposed a new agreement - within four years, if I can be admitted to the Jinshi and come back, our marriage contract will still be valid, if I can't be admitted to the Jinshi, she will withdraw from the marriage. She explained why there was an agreement between four years, because the imperial examination is to hold a township examination every three years, and then the second year will be the examination, that is, the entrance examination, and a cycle of four years. In the sound of drums and firecrackers at the temple fair, Tao Ziyun told Zhao Wenfeng about the past with a solemn expression.

"Miss Huang, she is so good, do you have to be admitted to the Jinshi to marry you?" Zhao Wenfeng lowered his head in frustration as soon as he heard Tao Ziyun explain this situation clearly.

"In my heart, she is a good girl, everyone says that I am not good, so she will put forward this agreement, I hope this agreement, let me fight, the only countermeasure, is to work hard! More than a year has passed, and in another year, that is, in the autumn of next year, I will go to the provincial capital to take the exam. Tao Ziyun said solemnly to everyone.

The friends and relatives next to him, after listening to Tao Ziyun's statement, some people encouraged him one after another, nodded approvingly to him, and blessed him one after another.

Tao Ziyun lifted his spirits to accept everyone's wishes: "Thank you, let's go shopping around!"

The warm spring is coming, the hot summer, will the distance be far away? Adults, in the autumn, sigh "the weather is cool and autumn!", in the cold winter, thinking of the close relatives and friends, the heart of the sweet, warm warmth. Between Tao Ziyun and his relatives and friends, the cold and summer come and go, the seasons change, more than a year has passed, and I have come to the township to test the year!

Tao Ziyun's father is also a showman, and in the autumn of this township test year, he is going to go to the provincial capital with Tao Ziyun to participate in the township test. He handed over the task of teaching to his successor, and then packed his bags and prepared for the road.

A few years have passed, in the eyes of Tao Ziyun's father, Huang Taoyu is a qualified scholar, this time the father and son rushed to the exam together, Tao Ziyun's father and mother were ready to let Huang Taoyu accompany him.

Tao Ziyun happily said to Taoyu: "I'm used to being with you, this trip, I have to go with you, that's good, my father and mother let you go to the provincial capital together, otherwise, I have to take the initiative to ask them for this." In this way, you have been approved by my father and mother in my house!"

Moss replied calmly: "Of course, it is natural for a scholar to go out on a long journey and take a scholar with him. In the past few years, I have been living with you as a scholar, and I have gotten along quite well, and everyone will want me to accompany you to the exam. ”

On the morning of this day, saying goodbye to Tao Ziyun's mother and other friends one by one, Tao Ziyun went on the road with his father and Taoyu.

Moss Yu carried the booklet made of oil fir wood, which contained the daily necessities of her and Tao Ziyun, as well as the bookshelves, and Qin Ji stood on the curtain raised by the shelf at the top of the book. Tao Ziyun took his father's burden and carried it on his shoulder.

According to Tao Ziyun's father's arrangement, they had to walk to the river and take a boat all the way to the north, so that they could reach the provincial capital safely, which was much better than riding a horse and taking a bumpy road all the way. Tao Ziyun knew that he had plenty of time to set off on this day, and he didn't have to use other ways to hurry, so he listened to his father.

Everyone stood outside the gate of the order of things, waved goodbye to Tao Ziyun and the three of them, Tao Ziyun said to them as happily as possible: "Go back to the school and go to class, don't worry about me! This is a journey of brewing hope, you wait for our good news with hope!"

After everyone entered the gate of the courtyard of the order, Tao Ziyun and the others turned their heads forward, walked quickly to the river, got on a sailboat there, and then went all the way to the north, straight to the Gongyuan in the provincial capital.

Arriving in the provincial capital, under Tao Ziyun's suggestion, they stayed in the inn called "Furong State Guesthouse", which was the luxury inn where Tao Ziyun and Fucai Dao Chang tracked He Meimei in the past.

But said that for more than a year, Tao Ziyun has raised ducks and geese in the pond, raising a large number, in addition to the ones they kill every day to cook and eat, most of them are raised to sell after they are raised, and they make a lot of money.

Tao Ziyun and Moss Yu lived in the room where He Meimei's master and servant lived at that time. Tao Ziyun's father obviously didn't want to score as well as his son, so he lived alone in the next room so that he could quietly review the scriptures.

It will be a few days before they go to the township to take the test, and they don't go out shopping, except for eating and the like, they go out for a while, and the rest of the time they read in the room.

The time for the exam finally came, and Tao Ziyun and his father entered the Tribute Academy, each doing their best to write the exam papers. They just take the exam based on their real talents, and if they can't pass the exam, they all rely on their own skills, and they don't even think about things like entrainment and cheating.

Of course, they are tested to write eight strands of essays, from the paragraph point of view, breaking the topic, undertaking the topic, starting to speak, starting, starting shares, middle shares, back shares, bundle shares, divided into eight parts to write, among which there are two strands of text that are ranked with each other, which is a bit like writing a rhythmic poem.

Most of the excellent poets can use their skillful skills from the strict rhythm, show their skills in creative practice, and write good works that conform to the rhythm.

In any case, in each era, there are products of each era, and writing Baguwen can be regarded as a product of this era that can survive zài, and this style of writing is not suitable for people to play better, so I look forward to the style that will appear in the future. It is a rule that the style that appeared later will be replaced by the style that appeared later.

Finally finished writing, Tao Ziyun and his father handed in the papers, and left the tribute courtyard one after another, and returned to the inn with Mosyu, waiting for the release of the list.

There is expectation, it is always sweet, and waiting for the news of the release of the list in the inn makes people have beautiful associations. Tao Ziyun and his father were too lazy to go out in the inn, but Moss Yu couldn't help but go out, she said that she wanted to take the opportunity to go shopping.

"Ziyun, you're hit, you're lifted!" I don't know how long it took, Moss Yu ran back from outside, and brought back the news that Tao Ziyun was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bring it back! (To be continued......)
