Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 64 An Enthusiastic Speech
On the county school square, [-] students who participated in the selection of county officials stood in line.

Several officials and more than a dozen county school professors stood on the wooden platform in front of them.

Li Yun, the county magistrate, was mobilizing before the competition. His voice was high-pitched and penetrating, and every student could hear him clearly.

"This is not only related to the ranking of your own school, but also to your personal future and destiny. I believe there is one or even a few future Jinshi standing among us. This Jinshi is likely to be you. As long as you work hard, everything is possible .

I was a Jinshi in the second year of Qingli. Back then, I was standing on the square of Kunshan County School like you, listening to the instructions from the teaching instructions. At that time, I never dreamed that one day I would be admitted to Jinshi.

Looking back on my school career, there is only one word 'bitter! '

in those days. ． ． ． ． ． ． "

Fan Ning couldn't stand the long speeches during the meeting, especially the undisguised self-boasting of the county magistrate Li, who was simply memorizing a novel "How to Make a Jinshi".

Not to mention, there is actually such a book in the bookstore, but it is not a novel, but a guide to the Jinshi exam.

Anyway, after reading that book, you will feel that you can easily pass the Jinshi exam, and then willingly spend your money to buy this book.

"At that time, my life was hard! When I was a child, my family..."

The history of Jinshi's struggle has evolved into a family history of suffering, which makes people drowsy.

Fanning began to lose his mind again, looking towards the south gate.

On the opposite side of the square is the gate of the county school. The concierge seems to have been unable to stop the enthusiasm of the county magistrates to select Sailala team members, and more than 200 people rushed in.

Inside and outside stood hundreds of onlookers, gentry and merchants, as well as domestic servants sent by major wealthy families in Pingjiang Mansion to inquire about news.

In addition, there are representatives from various villages and towns. Fan Ning heard from Pei Guang yesterday that there were more than [-] members of the Mudu family who came to the door willing to provide logistics services.

Such as accommodation, meals, bullock carts, and rewards.

Principal Liu politely declined all the good intentions of the staff, but Mudu government-run school heard that it has received a lot of benefits. At least every student has changed into a new suit, and there are snacks for supper at night.

If they can break through the first round, each student will be rewarded with ten coins.

Who doesn't want such a good thing to get ten pennies easily?

However, another curiosity in Fan Ning's heart at this time has surpassed the reward of ten pennies.

"Juppe, how can there be a large group of merchants there?"

Not only businessmen, but also many well-dressed gentry.

"Who are they?" Fanning asked curiously.

Zhu Pei was standing right behind Fanning, she didn't turn her head, with a mocking expression on her face.

"See that big fat guy on the far left? It's like the one with two lanterns stacked together!"

Fan Ning moved his eyes to the left, and he saw a big fat man with a round head and a round belly. He had to admire Zhu Pei's precise words. Two round lanterns were stacked together, isn't it?
This fat man has a small nose and small eyes, wears a turban on his head, and wears a white satin gown without even a belt. The long gown hangs down, revealing two short legs.

Fan Ning nodded, "It looks like a rich businessman, who is he?"

"You don't even know him?"

The mocking smile in Zhu Pei's eyes became stronger, "Isn't he your future father-in-law?"

"nonsense!"

Fan Ning's voice was a little louder, and Director Liu at the front turned around and gave him a sharp look.

Fortunately, the county magistrate above fell into the affectionate memory and couldn't extricate himself.

Officials and professors on both sides smirked and struggled with him in fond memories.

If the imperial court suddenly decreed to dismiss the county magistrate as a civilian, I believe countless feet would kick him off the stage together.

Fan Ning quickly pinched his throat and whispered, "Why is he my father-in-law?"

"Didn't you see that he is choosing a son-in-law? Everyone guesses that he has not let it go."

Only then did Fan Ning understand what Zhu Pei meant. It turned out that these gentry and wealthy businessmen came to choose their son-in-law, but this was a selection contest for county officials, not If You Are the One.

Zhu Pei also covered his mouth and said with a smile: "I think that fat man has a strong similarity with you, and they are both relatively dull, so I think he will definitely choose you. His daughter is probably beautiful and dignified, and she will definitely satisfy you. "

For some reason, the image of the Fourth Aunt jumped out of Fan Ning's mind.

"Dumb, do you want me to lead you in the yamen?"

Zhu Pei spoke more and more vigorously.

Fortunately, County Magistrate Li's Yiku meal is almost finished.

"I wish this county selection competition a complete success; I wish every child prodigy the best results; I wish every examiner can select excellent seedlings; I wish every schoolmaster can achieve their ideals Ranking; I wish our county magistrates can advance to the capital in the future imperial examinations, and I wish the government can..."

I go!Is it over?
"Okay, the above is my short speech. At the end of the game, I will say a few more words."'Bang! '

It seemed to be the sound of someone falling to the ground, someone shouted: "Professor Ma fainted!"

"I announce that... the [-]th County Scholars Selection Competition and College Competition in Wu County, Pingjiang Prefecture has officially started!"

Thunderous applause erupted immediately below, and the students all cheered.

"Thank you! Thank you everyone!"

County magistrate Li was so excited that he bowed his hands again and again. Every speech he made had such a good effect, he was very popular!
. . . . . . . . .

Fan Ning and the others were assigned to the first examination room in District B. The examination room was a large and spacious room with windows on both sides and bright light.

When Fan Ning saw the layout of this big room for the first time, he felt a sense of familiarity.

Isn't this the later quiz?

Four large tables were placed in a semi-circular arc, and in front of it was a long examiner's desk, on which three examiners sat, all of whom were professors of county studies.

"Are you two members of Yanying Academy?" a professor asked.

"Exactly!" Fanning nodded hastily.

"Go and sit down, the game is about to start."

Fanning and Jupe came and sat down at their table. They were the first table with a sign saying Yanying Academy.

Jupe felt that the chair was too high. Her feet could not be placed on the ground, and it had no backrest or armrests. It was just a high stool, a bit like the bar chairs of later generations, which made her very uncomfortable to sit on.

"Dumb, let's find a way to change the chair later!"

Fanning felt the same way. The chair didn't even have room for his feet. He was just fine, but Jupe was petite and the stool seemed high.

"The feet can be placed here!"

Fanning found that there was exactly one wooden pole in the table in front of him, which was suitable for feet.

Jupe also put his feet on the wooden pole, which stabilized his body a little.

At this time, Fan Ning suddenly felt a dazzling provocative gaze. He looked up and saw two eleven or twelve-year-old boys looking at him hostilely at the fourth table opposite.

Both of them had the same clothes, wearing green shirts, gauze caps, and black leather belts around their waists.

"The middle school students of Yuqing Academy, one surnamed Xiao and the other surnamed Yang, are No. 2 and No. 3 in their entrance examination." Zhu Pei whispered to Fan Ning.

Fan Ning knew that the other party was Yu Qing Xuetang, and had seen their clothes yesterday, but how could Zhu Pei know their surnames?He even knew their rankings in the entrance exam.

Fanning gave Jupe a puzzled look.

Zhu Pei curled his lips, "Only an idiot like you would go shopping in a bookstore and buy the local annals to go back. The yamen has planned a strategy and sent spies to find out the enemy's old background."

"and many more!"

Fan Ning's eyes widened, "You also sent someone to follow me yesterday afternoon?"

"No! I don't have the kind of leisure to follow you. Didn't you say you went to the stone shop? I followed another guy who went to the bookstore."

After speaking, Zhu Pei looked at Fan Ning with a mocking smile in his eyes.

Fan Ning scratched his head, laughed and said, "I seem to remember wrongly, I visited the stone shop the day before yesterday."

Zhu Pei kicked him under the table angrily, but suddenly lost her balance and nearly fell off the stool. She quickly grabbed Fan Ning's arm.

"It's all your fault, you almost made me lose my face!" Zhu Pei whispered angrily.

Fan Ning hurriedly looked down. Fortunately, there was a baffle below, and their small movements could not be seen around, which made him heave a sigh of relief.

He smiled, and turned his mouth toward the second and third tables, "Which school are their two teams?"

"I don't know, I don't care about this kind of small school!"

At this time, the vigorous bell rang, and it was time for the game.

The leading professor stood up and said with a smile: "Everyone sitting here is the outstanding person sent by each university. Some of you will represent Wu County to participate in the imperial examination for boys in three years. At present, you are all young talents. I will not talk about the unnecessary words. Now let’s get to the point, I’ll read the game method and rules, and then the game will officially start.”

The professor read the ten rules and specific competition methods aloud, and at the same time introduced the four participating teams.

Only then did Fan Ning know that the second table was sitting at Huqiu School, which was also a private school, and the third table was at the government-run Collection Town School.

Fan Ning and Zhu Pei participated as the deputy team of Yanying Academy, and Yuqing Academy directly opposite was also the assistant team, but they were not students from the lower dormitory, but two 11-year-old students from the middle dormitory.

"The following is the first question, please draw a question for each team!"

A child stepped forward, holding a lottery tube, and each team drew a lottery.

It is exactly the same as Doujing, except that two people's Doujing has become four group Doujing.

"I come!"

Zhu Pei was very interested in the lottery. She picked a lot for a long time, as if picking a piece of jewelry she was satisfied with. She stretched out her delicate fingers to draw a lot, and handed it to Fanning with a smile.

There is a number on the title label, the 220th question.

Fan Ning opened the checkmark, and what Zhu Pei drew was the Five Classics crossword.

There is only one sentence on the title: "There are no more than five colors, and the changes of the five colors are indescribable." '

Zhu Pei leaned forward and looked at it for a while, her big black and white eyes blinked, "Dumb, where did this come from?"
