Xiuxian: The longer you live, the better your talent!

Chapter 34 Childhood (1)

Time flies by, and in a blink of an eye, it’s already August.

Qiuwei takes place every three years. As one of the only ways for many people at the bottom to break through class, the importance of the scientific examination is self-evident.

Anyone who wants to participate in Qiu Wei will come no matter how far away they are.

The four-door position is already crowded.

There are also many strange people on both sides of the street, in restaurants, private houses and other areas.

Early in the morning, Lu Changsheng went to the Heishan Fufu Yamen and passed the registration of the Fuyamen.

Different from the imperial examinations in memory, the imperial examinations in this world do not need the so-called "guarantee", but need to pass the roster and file.

The requirements for admission are not high. You only need to be able to read a text provided by the examiner in front of the examiner, and you have passed.

In addition to simply testing the school's basic ability to read and write, registration on the roster also needs to check the birth information.

It took five full days to prepare for the file.

On the sixth day, the first childbirth test began.

In the morning, after breakfast, Lu Changsheng walked into the examination room of Jixia Academy under Li Nangua's gaze.

"Lin'er, don't be too nervous, your father is a famous teacher, as long as you take the exam well, you will be fine!"

"Yes, young master!"

When some familiar words came, Lu Changsheng turned his eyes slightly and saw a group of people not far away.

A group of nurses followed behind the female relatives, and in front of them was a slightly hurried boy.

That young man has red lips and white teeth, and his brows are six to seven points similar to Zhao Qing, but at the moment he is in a state of indecision.

Zhao Xinghua stood nearby to comfort her aunt.

"After all, I'm still a little young!" She thought to herself.

At the same time, there are some emotions in my heart.

At the age of eleven or twelve, they came to take the children's examination. Presumably only these big families can do it.

Like rural folk, most of them can only follow their parents to do farm work.

I felt more and more glad that I followed my aunt to Heishan Mansion, but, for some reason, no rich family always looked at her.

At first there were one or two more, if they were placed in the village, she must be ecstatic.

But now, she no longer looks down on that level of big business, so she implicitly refused.

"Only by marrying into the Xun Mansion will you be rich!"

After coming here for so long, Zhao Xinghua knew how strict the ranks were in a big city like Heishan Mansion. If she hadn't been a daughter, she might never have set foot in the gate of Xun Mansion for the rest of her life.

Just as she was thinking, suddenly, she seemed to see a boy who was about the same age as Chen Lin walking over.

"Is he the son of a wealthy family?" she asked secretly.

Sure enough, it was only right to marry into a rich family.

At this moment, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her whole body seemed to become hotter at this moment.

But not far away, a group of nobles and sons came striding forward, all of them were extraordinary, walking like a dragon or a tiger.

"Xinghua, give in quickly!"

Zhao Qing couldn't hide such a big commotion. Seeing the group of young people approaching, his complexion changed slightly.

Mr. Chen's family was definitely considered a wealthy family in a rural area, but in the eyes of those young people, he was no more than a commoner in the countryside.

There are also huge differences among large households.

And the young man in the lead is none other than Xun Zimo, the son of the Xun family that Zhao Xing is fond of, and he is the descendant of the very famous No. [-] scholar Xun Zi.

"Auntie, Mr. Xun also wants to take the Tongsheng Examination?" Zhao Xinghua came back to her senses.

"This is not surprising. Although people like Mr. Xun have no shortage of teachers, their own talent is a problem, and the teacher's teaching method is also a problem. Maybe, Mr. Xun has no chance of passing the Tongsheng exam. The scales are so big!"

Zhao Qing said this, but in his heart he secretly reminded Zhao Xinghua.

The latter has seen a lot in the past two years, and his spirit has grown a lot. From time to time, he will drag the Xun family to overwhelm his Chen family, and he seems to have entered the Xun family.

Although this is true, Zhao Qing must be somewhat unhappy.

Fortunately, Zhao Xinghua finally remembered her kindness.

"master!"

After a while, several richly dressed elderly people in their sixties came over.

Zhao Qing quickly pulled Zhao Xinghua and walked over to Fuli.

Master Chen with a pale face saw that Chen Lin had already entered the examination room, and after inquiring about it, he took a seat at the Zhuangyuan Pavilion next to him.

The Zhuangyuan Building and the Zhuangyuan Pavilion are very famous architectural symbols outside the examination room, especially the Zhuangyuan Building, which cannot be entered by non-nobility.

The facilities inside are elegant and filled with sandalwood. Correspondingly, the barriers to entry are extremely high. Old boys like Mr. Chen, even if they have enough money, are not eligible to enter.

The Zhuangyuan Pavilion is one level lower.

Locating here can not only be auspicious, but also get first-hand information about the examination room.

In comparison, those silver coins are nothing.

"By the way, Mrs. Zhao, I heard from the people below that a while ago you had a relative who wanted you to arrange for a young man to come to the school?"

Master Chen suddenly spoke.

"Ah? Master, this happened more than a year ago!" Zhao Qing said in surprise that Mr. Chen would bring up this matter at this time.

He should have known about this long ago!
"If Lin'er doesn't pass the Tongsheng exam this time, let that person come over and have a look. If possible, let him be a servant next to Lin'er!"

"Master, how could Lin'er fail the exam?" Zhao Qing glanced angrily, showing a hint of charm.

"Always plan with both hands! The exam questions this time are more difficult. It is estimated that there will not be many children this year!"

Zhao Qing's heart sank.

She didn't doubt the old man's words at all, because the old man could communicate with the people at Jixia Academy, and the information would probably be correct.

"If this is the case, we can only wait until next time. Lin'er is not old and can afford to wait!"

During the chat, soon, the first exam came to an end.

Candidates walked out of the examination room one by one with different expressions!

Some were serious, some wailed in situ, some cried bitterly, and some even knelt on the ground, grabbed the ground with their foreheads, and knocked blood on their heads, feeling sorry for relatives and friends, elders in the family, and heaven and earth!
Life is full of vicissitudes!
Lu Changsheng walked out of the examination room and immediately saw Li Guanggu waiting for him standing under a big tree.

But she didn't directly ask how the exam went like others, but instead took out the steamed buns she had prepared.

"Here~ eat, I didn't eat at noon, I must be hungry!"

Lu Changsheng nodded, took the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

In order to prevent cheating, candidates are basically not allowed to bring anything in.

Fortunately, it’s just one meal, so it’s not too difficult.

After he finished eating, he handed over water again, and then asked, "How is the exam?"

"Not bad!" Lu Changsheng said, looking back at the high gate compound of the examination room, looking forward to it.

He is getting closer and closer to practicing martial arts!
······
On the first day, the test was "Book".

On the second day, the test was on the Scriptures.

On the third day, the test was "Fu".

On the fourth day, the test was "Policy Theory".

For four days in a row, there was nothing thrilling, but I just saw all kinds of things in the world.

Perhaps many people knew that they had no chance of success, so they retreated sadly, and their backs before leaving seemed to be abandoned by the world.

Lu Changsheng felt emotional in his heart, and he became more determined to be admitted to Tongsheng.

"My fame will allow me to have a foothold in Heishan Mansion, so that I won't be easily overthrown by the 'Three Red Gang' and others!"

Therefore, although his mind was not on the imperial examination, he devoted himself to it without hesitation, just to clear the way for practicing martial arts to strengthen his body!
Now, it’s time to reveal the results!
On the fourth day, the last exam was over. Lu Changsheng walked out of the examination room and went directly back to his residence to wait.

Another five days passed, and the results of the Tong Sheng Exam finally came out!
