Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

After blasting her daughter away, Xie Ran regained her spirits and sat in the study for a while to think again.

In fact, this thing can still be done, this is the name of a person!

Even though he had just told his daughter that he was not interested in fame, he felt that being a scholar in the north and the south was enough.However, in ancient times, scholars who were good at learning were able to become officials, and those who won the Juren, but those who could directly become officials, although they were not from a serious background, were still very attractive.

Xie naturally thinks that he is also a person. If he starts studying at a young age, he may be able to become a Jinshi.However, he has only started studying vigorously in the past few years, and he has already missed the best reading age.It took a lot of effort to fight for the fame of a scholar.The family business is growing day by day, and there are too many chores, and it is even more impossible to calm down and read the words of the sage.

Jinshi fame, he had no idea for a long time.

As for Juren, to be honest, I am not sure.

But Nannan pointed out a way for herself today, and there was no risk at all.

Xie Ranran has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, a person who licks blood at the edge of a knife, naturally does not have the sourness of ordinary scholars, and feels that cheating is a very shameful thing.Since there are shortcuts available, why not use them?

To be honest, since they are all scholars, it is not difficult to leave a joint in the examination paper that only myself and Xueshi Su can understand.Relying on his friendship with Su Zongshi who fought the Tatars side by side in Ningxia that day, it's hard to think of anyone.

Thinking of this, Xie naturally became excited.

After deliberating again and again for a long time, I finally came to a conclusion. In any case, I should wait until the examination room, see the specific questions, and then just adapt to the situation.

Seeing that a person who has made a name for himself is worshiped in front of him, Xie Xiucai is about to become Master Xie.Even he, a tycoon of the rivers and lakes, was so excited that he lost sleep.

The next morning, Xie Ziran got up with two panda eyes, just took a sip of water, suddenly thought of something in his mind, and immediately fell into the ice cellar.

"Thank you, thank you, you still think this matter is too simple."

It turned out that there were thousands of candidates from all over the province in the rural examination room.It is impossible for Su Mu to be the chief examiner, paper by paper, otherwise, he may not be able to finish reading it in half a year.Moreover, according to the rules of the imperial examination, the provincial examination must be submitted within half a month at most.

Therefore, after the candidate's paper is finished, it must be handed over to other examiners for review.After passing the review, they will be recommended to the main examiner's desk according to a certain number of places.

The chief examiner saw that there were no problems with the paper, so it was considered a pass.

To put it bluntly, the two chief examiners are just ranking Chinese candidates.

Not to mention the large number of candidates in this province, there are also a lot of talents. It is not an easy task to break out of so many top candidates and finally hand over the papers to the chief examiner.

Even if he Xie Ranran left joints in the paper, if the two examiners can't pass the hurdle, no matter how close their friendship with Xueshi Su is, it will be useless.

"No, I have to hurry up and study my homework!" Xie Ran was so excited that he didn't care about eating, so he hurried into the study and tried to figure out a collection of contemporary essays over and over again.

After reading a few pages, a fellow came to hug me, saying that it was some kind of scholar from Tianshui who came to visit.

"No, no time."

……

"Master, Liu Xiucai from Hua County is here to visit. This is his film."

"No...you can just tell me that I, Xie Ziran, is studying behind closed doors, and I don't see any guests. Please forgive me."

……

In this way, for the next few days, Xie naturally thanked the guests behind closed doors and devoted himself to studying until the day he entered the examination room.

Xie Tianran didn't see a single guest. On the surface, he seemed quite arrogant and wanted to offend others.

But he didn't want to, the more he saw no customers, the more curious others became about him.

Therefore, not only Xie Ranran's poems and essays over the past few years were dug up and read by everyone, but even his experience over the past few years was checked out.

At this time, everyone was surprised to know that Xie Ziran was studying when he was a child.But after the death of both parents, he was forced to make a living, and hadn't touched books for many years.It was not until after starting a business that life got better that I began to study the Four Books and Five Classics systematically.In only four years, he went from a small child to a scholar.This talent, this ambition, really makes people respect and fear.

As a result, Xie Ziran's reputation became more and more resounding, and he became another great talent in Shaanxi after Li Mengyang and Kang Hai.

"In my pass, how talented and evil!"

"Such an extravagant character must be selected!"

After the exam was over, Xie Tianran realized that his reputation was now frighteningly great. He was surprised and felt pressured at the same time: if he wins, that is what he should do.If you don't hit, you will lose your adult.

The time finally came to the day of entering the examination room.

In the first three days, as usual, there were five essays and four essays.For stereotyped articles, Xie naturally wrote neither good nor bad, so he just wrote honestly according to his previous standards.

After finishing the work, I probably thought about it, that is, the middle level, maybe I can hit it, maybe I can't hit it, it just depends on luck.

But luck is such a thing, who can say clearly?

Naturally, I felt a little uneasy, and a little helpless.

Xie Ranran is familiar with the writing of official documents such as policy papers, which he has been doing business on the border all year round.In fact, these kinds of questions often test the administrative ability and knowledge of scholars. When it comes to knowledge, who among the candidates can compare with him.

I just made a few questions in a stable manner, and I feel very satisfied.

However, the four scriptures in the first round of the imperial examination are the key, and the next two rounds are just for reference.

Xie Ranran's eight-legged essays in the first round were only of a mediocre standard, and it wasn't outstanding among a lot of papers from Shaanxi scholars, even if the papers in the next two rounds were brilliant.It is useless if not selected by the examiner of Shibafang.

Thinking of this, Xie was naturally a little depressed.Such things as fame and fame are of no use to him at present, but these days his reputation has become a bit big, and he failed the list, so he must not look good.

Thinking of this, and recalling what Nannan said, he thought slightly: Actually, it is also possible to leave a joint in it.Instead of doing nothing, give it a try.

I just thought back on the days when I got along with Su Mu. If I want to keep my joints, the poem I met in the city that day is naturally the best.

However, this is so obvious that everyone can see it.When the time comes, it doesn't matter if you load it yourself, it will hurt Xueshi Su instead.

No, you have to get another one.

However, what should be replaced.

For a while, he had no claim.Feeling a little confused, he simply added some water to the inkstone, picked up the ink ingot and began to grind it slowly.

As the ink stick turns, an idea gradually takes shape.
