Husband is extremely regent

Chapter 206: Chapter 206
"Brother Beichen, you are a bit unlucky."

"Originally the No. [-] scholar was already in Brother Beichen's pocket. I didn't expect Brahma to participate in Chunwei."

At the tea house outside the Taiyuan Academy, several scholars sat together to discuss the results of the article, but somehow they talked about Fanxing.

Bei Chenmo's expression was exactly the opposite of his name, and he said with a smile on his face, "I think it's not a bad thing for the first son of Nanli to take the imperial examination. On the contrary, it can inspire us to be more motivated and show greater potential in the examination room."

"I came down to take the imperial examination just to see Miss Lu Xu."

"Why, taking part in the imperial examination will allow you to meet Miss Lu Xu, who misses you day and night?" Bei Chen asked indifferently.

"I'm afraid not." A scholar from Liangzhou said: "It is said that Ms. Lu Xu is in seclusion. I don't know when it will end. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see her this year."

"Hearing what you said, I'm really curious about what is so special about this Miss Lu Xu. It is worth your efforts for her." These people are so crazy about her.

"Miss Lu Xu is extremely beautiful, you will be confused by her beauty at first sight, but once you get in touch with her, you will gradually forget her beauty, and you will only be overwhelmed by her talent."

"I'm overwhelmed by her talent." Bei Chenmo said with a smile all over his face, "Brother, I'm also very curious about this Miss Lu Xu. I don't know what talent she has, so that you all forget her beauty?"

"Miss Lu Xu knows astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom. Many things that we can only explain with ghosts and gods can be answered in reality with her."

"for example?"

Naturally, Bei Chenmo would not believe it.

The scholar from Liangzhou said: "For example, the common will-o'-the-wisp, we always thought it was caused by ghosts, but Miss Lu Xu told us that it is because the human body contains a substance called phosphorus, which has a very low ignition point. , In the natural environment, it can spontaneously ignite without ignition, and she also demonstrated a will-o'-the-wisp using egg shells."

"Any more?"

"Make paper kites that can fly people."

"I will also use a very simple method to make the gunpowder needed for fireworks."

"Oh, by the way, it's a kind of transparent ink. You can clearly see the black characters when writing, but after it dries, only a piece of white paper is left."

"Miss Lu Xu knows too many things. In short, her talent is more attractive than her appearance." Another Liangzhou scholar said, and then sighed: "I haven't seen Miss Lu Xu this time. I will take the imperial examination well, and I will always have a chance to meet if I stay in Kyoto, after all, we are classmates."

"With Miss Lu Xu's current status, I'm afraid I won't see you." Bei Chenmo said with a gentle smile on his lips, "Your Prime Minister's only daughter has such a noble status, how can she see you as soon as she wants?"

"Miss Lu Xu is not that kind of person, if she is, she is not worthy of my admiration."

"Okay, everyone, don't argue, the exam starts tomorrow, let's talk about serious things, so that we don't get a word wrong when we enter the exam room tomorrow."

Afraid that everyone would quarrel, the organizers immediately smoothed things over and brought everyone back to the topic: "Actually, the topics are back and forth. As long as we memorize them well and add some personal ideas, it won't be a big problem to win the exam."

"Brother Zhou is right..."

****
The next day.

Chunwei begins.

The Gongyuan is full of carriages for scholars to go to the exam.

Of course, there are also people who come here for a stroll, for example, Fanxing is one of them.

Holding an umbrella with pear blossoms painted on a green background, Fanxing strolled leisurely on the road to the Gongyuan, both sides of the road were full of pear blossoms.

It was okay to walk at first, until a carriage passed by them, and because it was raining in April, the muddy water almost splashed on Fanxing, Gu Qi couldn't bear to complain in a low voice:
"Young master, why don't you sit on a horse, and why don't you wear clothes that are old and new?"

"Appreciate the scenery along the way to the exam."

Fanxing walked leisurely, and if you look carefully, you will find that the accumulated water on the ground is basically stained on his clothes.

On the road, they met acquaintances who were walking at the same time, and they also bowed their hands to greet each other, and walked together to the Gongyuan. After walking not far, they saw the one just now, which was almost splashed with mud and water.

Seeing this scene, Gu Qi suddenly realized: "It turns out that the young master knew that the road would be blocked, so he deliberately didn't take the carriage."

Fanxing pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Last year, there was a lot of traffic. Fan Chen also reminded us early, don't take a carriage to the Gongyuan, and said that you can encounter many beautiful scenery on foot."

nice view?
Gu Qi disagrees.

A fellow scholar said: "Brother Fan's talent, even if you don't take the imperial examination, the emperor will still use it."

Fanxing smiled and said: "But I haven't experienced the tense atmosphere of Chunwei, so I will feel a little regretful in my heart, and after participating in Chunwei, I can say: You and I are fellow scholars."

This remark made the fellow scholars laugh, and they all cupped their hands and said, "Thanks to Mr.!"

Arriving outside the Gong Yuan, Fan Xing took the bookcase and said, "The exam will take three days anyway, I will watch inside the exam room, and you will also watch outside the exam room."

Gu Qiquan responded one by one and said: "Young Master, you should also be careful in the examination room. It is said that His Highness the Crown Prince also participated in setting the questions. Be careful that he deliberately digs holes for you. If you answer wrong, His Highness will definitely make fun of you for the rest of your life."

"Crow's mouth."

Fan Xing entered the venue after saying a word.

After checking the book box to the examiner, he received the room number plate and found his room under the guidance of the examiner.

After checking his personal information, he walked into the room. Inside, the four treasures of the study were ready, and Fan Xing sat in front of the desk with his eyes closed and meditated. He didn't open his eyes until all the candidates had entered.

bang...

The exam bell rang.

"Bo's."

As soon as the bell rang, Mo Jinli's voice came from the air.

As soon as the word Bo was dropped, Fan Xing was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that this was the exam question for this year's Chunwei.

Luckily, Brahma's self-cultivation is extremely high, and when he suddenly heard Mo Jinli's exam questions, he still cursed in his heart: "Mo Jinli, I'm fucking your ancestors for eighteen generations."

Fan Xing was really angry, otherwise he would not have forgotten that he and Mo Jin had an ancestor.

Taking the Bo family as the topic means that candidates are required to write a poem, a classic discussion and a policy theory based on the rise and fall of the Bo family.

Gu Qi was right, Mo Jinli was trying to trick him, if he didn’t answer well, he would lose the chance to propose marriage to Xu’er, if he answered well, he would probably be beaten by the elders in the family, how could the Fanshi and Moshi’s bloodlines contain Bo’s blood.

Fanxing has a headache.

No matter how he answered, he would inevitably be beaten.

Of course, he was not the only one who had a headache, and there were wailing sounds in the examination room, which showed that the questions were extremely tricky.

Mo Jinli sent out the questions directly, and everyone in the capital could hear them. The Empress Dowager didn't have to wait for the people inside to send out the questions, but it was more difficult than sending out the exam questions.

"This test question is absolutely perfect."

Aunt Liu sighed for a while, the question actually broke the traditional habit.

It is not difficult to write poems and fus, but the difficult thing is to have a new idea to have a chance to shine, and not to follow the old path of the predecessors. This alone makes many people unable to write.

The queen mother leaned on the couch, closed her eyes and said: "The Ai family has done their best, the rest can only be seen on their respective abilities, let those staff members answer together, and those who have good ideas can be sent to the examination room."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Aunt Liu immediately ordered someone to spread the word.

Fanxing greeted Mo Jinli eighteen times in his heart before he began to think about how to create a new idea.

As time passed by, Fanxing thought: Forget it, you will be beaten as soon as you get beaten, this is a wake-up call to the big families, don't make the same mistakes as the Bo family.

The reason for the downfall of the Bo family was that they relied too much on bloodline inheritance and neglected their own efforts, but they didn't know that bloodline inheritance was nothing more than a set of exercises.

It is not enough to gain a foothold in the world with strong force, it also needs enough wisdom, just like the ancestor Princess Jinghua not only has a high level of cultivation, but also has extraordinary courage and wisdom, otherwise, who would dare to take such a dangerous place like Tianyu City? Set as the capital of the country.

Since ancient times, the poems and proses describing Bo's family have been full of praise for those who are amazingly talented, but they rarely write about the fate of those who are good-looking but mediocre.

Fanxing conceived in his heart for a while, and finally wrote nearly [-] characters on the draft paper. After repeated consideration and confirmation, he transcribed the content on the examination paper, checked that there were no typos or typos, and then put down the pen to rest.

There was a knock on the door, and Fan Xing remembered that it was time to rest and have lunch.

Every year, in order to take care of the poor family's two sons, the meals in the examination room are distributed uniformly to ensure that everyone has sufficient physical strength.

The size of the window left on the door is just enough to bring in the tray. The meals are very simple: the staple food is a bowl of rice, two steamed buns, beef, seasonal vegetables on a plate, and a bowl of ginseng chicken soup.

Fanxing's diet has always been exquisite, but right now he has no choice but to make do with it, planning to sit down and rest after eating hastily, and prepares to finish writing the scriptures in the afternoon.

When he was about to move his chopsticks, there was a sound of throwing plates, and the people in the next room complained loudly: "How dare you send something that even a dog can't eat? At the feet of the emperor of the capital, Chun Wei will try it and give it to the tribute students!" These games, how can people write good articles.”

Fan Xing couldn't help laughing when he heard that, sure enough, there were everyone in the examination room, who knows where the examiners came from so rampant, it is estimated that they will soon be famous all over the capital.

After a while, someone sobbed and said: "I thought that the emperor made an exception to increase the number of scientific examinations, and had the opportunity to honor his ancestors, but he didn't expect that the questions would be so difficult."

"Father, mother, the child is not filial."

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of the door opening was heard. I didn't expect someone to abandon their filial piety so soon.

Brahma shook his head and felt that Mo Jinli had gone a little too far. He only cared about making things difficult for him but forgot to consider others. What's the point of adding an imperial examination like this.

The food was indeed not very good. Brahmacharya finished his meal in a hurry and started to meditate. After an hour, he began to write the scriptures. He experienced the decline of the Bo family in Nanli country. He saw the problems of the Bo family early on. Some productions should be scrapped .

After resting enough, I wrote an essay on the succession system of the Bo family, hoping to remind the big families.

As for policy theory, it did not write about the Bo family alone, but took the title "On the Family", and discussed not only the rise and fall of the Bo family, but the rise and fall of major families.

Born in the top family in the mainland of China, he naturally understood the reason, and wrote nearly six hundred words. It was already evening when he finished writing. After dinner, he simply washed up and lay down on the couch to rest.

The weather is still cold in April, but this coldness is nothing to Fanxing, but he is worried that Lu Xu will also be afraid of the cold during his retreat.

After all, Lu Xu's body is too weak, even if the cold poison is cleared, he still fears the cold, but fortunately Xue Bao and Orange King are by his side, and the bed is always warm, so he is afraid that they will fight in the bed at night, and they will fight for a while. Missed the head and accidentally injured Xu'er.

Suddenly there was a very light movement on the roof, Fan Xing did not act rashly as agreed, but listened attentively to which room these people ended up in.

In a relatively secluded room, the man in black handed over a roll of paper and said: "The queen mother said that the exam questions were too tricky, and the staff members did their best, and only a few dozen or so papers were available. Young master, take a look first, use it if you can use it, and use it to go to the toilet if you can't use it."

"Understood, back off."

"Yes."

The man in black quietly left the tribute courtyard again.

Fanxing listened for a while, and it turned out that he wanted to cheat, and it seemed that he wanted to be an official.

Passed the news to Mo Jinli, and Mo Jinli replied with four words - it was unnecessary, and Fanxing also agreed with him.

There was already a queen dowager party in the court, so why arrange another group of people, after all, these people may not be able to stay in the capital after being elected, and even if they stay in the capital, the official position will not be too high, and it will not be of corresponding help to the queen dowager party.

Thinking of this, Fan Xing immediately told Mo Jinli his thoughts.

It took Mo Jinli a while to reply: "It is the strong outsiders who want to put eyeliner in the court. They found the Queen Mother, and the condition is to revive Prince Ding."

"How does Your Highness know?" Fanxing asked via voice transmission.

"Secret."

After Mo Jinli finished transmitting the sound, it seemed to cut off all connections.

The three days passed quickly, and when the bell rang at the end, the invigilating officials came to receive the test papers.

After handing in the papers, Fan Xing tidied up and walked out of the room. It happened that people from the next room also came out.

His eyes are full of energy and there is no sign of fatigue. He is not troubled by the topic, and he is also a talented and learned person.

Thinking of the incident of him throwing food, Fanxing felt that there was no need for a deep friendship, so he just nodded slightly and walked outside, not knowing how Xuer had spent the past three days.

Bei Chenmo was startled when he saw Fanxing, and when he came back to his senses, Fanxing had gone far away, and murmured: "I can't imagine that there is such a person in Jingdu, I don't know which family's son is so pure and refined, if there is a chance, I will definitely go to see him." Befriend him."

Vatican walked out of the gate of the Gongyuan.

Gu Qi immediately went up to him, took the book box and said: "Thank you for your hard work, young master, hurry up and get on the carriage."

Fan Xing got into the carriage, Gu Qi came in and put away the bookcase and said: "The snacks are ready, and the water is also boiled, just wait for the young master to come out and brew."

"You don't know that the dishes in the examination room are all too salty, and you can't drink clear water, so you just want to come out and have a cup of tea." Fan Xing finished vomiting bitterness, picked up the copper pot and filled the tea with water, and glanced outside by the way, It was found that there were not many people walking outside the gate of the Gongyuan.

"Aren't you worried about getting stuck in a carriage now?"

"Don't worry, son, I won't be stuck on the road today."

"Why?"

"The main reason is that the exam questions are too difficult."

Gu Qi said truthfully: "Many people gave up the exam on the first day of the exam, and even more on the second day. It is estimated that only half of them persisted until the end."

Fanxing did not expect that there were so many people who gave up the exam, and Mo Jinli was afraid that he would regret it to death. He shouldn't have asked such a difficult question, so that the court could not recruit many talents, and the emperor would inevitably scold him.

"careful!"

Suddenly there was a reminder, and Fan Xing hurriedly circulated his true energy to protect the teapot.
