marquis of jingan

Chapter 56

Examination is one of the goals in life that Shen Yi has set for a long time. Before that, because of County Magistrate Feng, he was a little scruples about the exam, but now County Magistrate Feng was kicked from the dinner table in Jiangdu by the gentlemen in the capital. If it continues, then there will be no obstacles to Shen Yi's road to exams.

It was also for this reason that Master Lu began to ask Shen Yi to prepare for the exam.

Lu Anshi stood up from his chair, turned around, rummaged through his bookshelf for a while, then found a booklet, handed it to Shen Yi, and said, "It's June, this year Jiangdu's The county test is in September, and the government test is in November, so you have to hurry up and prepare."

"This is a collection of essays from Jiangdu County Examination and Government Examination in the past three years. Take it back and read it. You don't need to memorize it, just use it as a reference."

Ganquan Academy is a "prestige school" for examinations. Every year, there are many scholars and candidates, and every three years, one or two or even six or seven Jinshi are issued. Therefore, some "examination materials" are naturally prepared in the academy. In recent years, the county The "excellent test paper" of the government test is one of the indispensable test materials.

This kind of thing may not be so rare in the era when there were printers in later generations, but in this era, most of them are handwritten copies. Although it is unlikely that Master Lu copied them himself, it is also unlikely for ordinary people to get them easily.

If this kind of thing is sold in Jiangdu City, at least it can be sold for ten taels of silver.

Shen Qi quickly lowered her head and took it with both hands.

"Thank you sir."

For the exam, Shen Yi still has some confidence in his heart, because he is not only him, but also another Shen Yi, and that Shen Yi has a very good foundation. According to Shen Yi's personal teacher, Mr. Qin, Shen Yi and Chen Qing, It is not difficult to get a scholar's fame.

What is really difficult is the follow-up examination of Juren and even Jinshi.

Jiangdu Prefecture is located in Gyeonggi, and only the county examination will take the examination locally in Jiangdu. When it comes to the college examination, Shen Yi will leave Jiangdu and go to Jiankang, which is Da Chen's current capital examination.

Of course, if there is a foundation, there is a foundation, and the old man’s "small stove" still has to be eaten. Shen Yi thanked Mr. Lu repeatedly, and flattered the old man in Mr. Lu's study, and then embraced this "" Examination materials" bid farewell and left.

Before Shen Yi left, Master Lu warned again: "The previous magistrate presided over the government examination last year, not Chen Fuzun. You just take a general look and don't need to memorize it."

Speaking of this, the little old man paused, and continued: "As for the county examination... When the new county magistrate takes office in a few days, the academy will find some of his anthologies here for reference to the students who participated in the county examination this year. Come to me and copy a copy back."

Shen Yi once again bowed his head to thank Mr. Lu, then took his leave and left.

After getting the precious test materials, Shen Yi no longer had the intention of going to Jiangdu Chengye, but obediently returned to the dormitory to study.

Mainly to read the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as the annotations of the sages, and the "understanding" of the sages' books by the emperors of the Dachen Dynasty. The first two are because the exam is required, and the last one is because some examiners like to take pictures of the dragons of the emperors. fart.

have to guard against.

In this way, Shen finally lived in the academy for a few days, consolidated the knowledge of another Shen Yi, and became a good student in the academy for a few days.

On the third day, Mr. Qin gave Shen Yi a strategy test. When Shen Qilang was writing in the dormitory, he received a letter from Tian Boping.

After receiving Tian Laoba's letter, Shen Yi got up from the desk and stretched a lot.

Then he glanced at the half-written policy theory on the table, and muttered in a low voice: "Mr. Qin didn't say he had to hand it in today..."

Ever since, the young man put down his brush, turned his head and changed into a clean dress, and ran to the gate of a large courtyard in the backyard of the academy.

After arriving at the gate of the courtyard, Shen Qilang coughed and cleared his throat.

"Junior Sister Lu, Junior Sister Lu~"

Because of shamelessness, Shen has a very loud voice.

Soon, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with a delicate appearance hurriedly opened the courtyard door. Although the little girl was young, she had a good temper and gave Shen Yi an angry look.

"What are you shouting about? What are you shouting about?!"

It was Lian Er, Miss Lu's maid.

During this period of time, Shen Yi ran to Lu Anshi's place when he had nothing to do, and became familiar with Miss Lu and Lian'er, the master and servant. Seeing this little maid, Shen Yi smiled brightly: "Sister Lian'er, I'm looking for Junior Sister Lu."

"I know, I know, half the academy knows!"

Lian'er looked at Shen Yi angrily.

"Wouldn't you knock on my door if you're looking for my lady? Why are you shouting? You're still a scholar, you're ashamed of my lady..."

Having said this, Lian'er blushed and stopped talking.

Because by saying that, it seems like Shen Yi already has an affair with Miss Lu.

However, the thick-skinned Shen Yi didn't blush and his heart didn't beat. He smiled at Little Lian'er and said, "Sister Lian'er, tell Junior Sister Lu that I found a new restaurant in the city. Junior Sister Lu is going to taste it, and take a stroll around the city by the way."

Lian Er had never seen such a man like Meng Lang, let alone a scholar like Meng Lang, plus she was young, her face turned red all of a sudden.

"You... What nonsense are you talking about? Master... Master doesn't allow Miss to go out!"

"rest assured."

Shen Qilang smiled confidently, patted his chest and said: "The head of the mountain knows it's me, so he won't stop him. I have a very good character."

Saying that, Shen Yi winked at Lian'er, smiled and said, "Sister Lian'er, go tell Junior Sister Lu that I'll wait for her at the gate of the academy after lunch, and I'll be back before dark."

After saying this, Shen Yi waved to Lian'er, and then walked away very coolly.

Little Lian'er was left standing at the gate of the yard, dumbfounded.

After a while, Lian'er returned to Miss Lu's embroidery building. Seeing Lian'er coming back, Miss Lu looked a little embarrassed.

"What did he say... what's so loud?"

Only then did Lian'er repeat Shen Yi's words to Miss Lu, then spat, and said in a low voice: "Miss, this Shen Yi used to look quite honest, but after being arrested in the county jail, he became slick and cheeky." It's a bit thicker, a bit like those old gangsters in Jiangdu City..."

Lian'er snorted softly, "It's probably because I stayed in the prison for a few days and learned from the prisoners in the prison!"

She looked at her young lady and said in a low voice: "Miss, let's ignore him. When the master comes back, sue him in front of the master and let the master deal with him!"

Miss Lu stood in front of the window, looked at the direction Shen Yi left, then turned her head to look at Lian'er, blinked her eyes wide: "Lian'er, haven't we been to the city for a long time?"

"I want to try the novel food he said."

Lian'er's eyes widened, and she looked at her young lady.

"Miss, that fellow has no words or deeds!"

"how come."

Miss Lu argued: "I've seen Senior Brother Shen, his words and deeds are gentle and elegant, how can his words and deeds be so shameless? It's just..."

Miss Lu blushed.

"It's just that his voice was really louder just now..."

Lian Er is only 13 years old this year, so naturally she doesn't understand what's on the mind of Ms. Lu, who is almost 16 years old. She stared at her miss for a long time, and then hummed softly.

"Okay, miss, you just go with him..."

"I will not speak up for you when the old master makes a move on you..."
