Chapter 201 County Examination

After running a long distance, the two stopped to look at each other and laughed. The last time they laughed together like this was at this time last year.

After laughing, Wang Xian suddenly and mysteriously took out a pair of chubby and smiling clay sculptures of big-headed dolls from his sleeves.

"Big Ah Fu!" Lin Qing'er exclaimed in surprise, took the pair of clay figurines and began to play with them fondly.I saw clay figurines divided into one male and one female, wearing red bellybands, sitting cross-legged holding a lion cub, fat and puffy, smiling, naive and cute.

Just now in the street market, Lin Qing'er fell in love with this pair of big men, and was about to buy them, but she was surrounded by crowds, so she had to give up.Unexpectedly, Wang Xian saw it and bought it for her... Uh, why did you buy it?Lin Qing'er suddenly remembered, this guy didn't talk to the stall owner at all?

"Hush..." Wang Xian whispered ghostly: "Slow down, these two little guys ran into my arms by themselves." If I were a real person, I would tell Sister Lin honestly that I stole it. But Wang Xian, a slippery guy, is used to making people happy with his mouth.

"Nonsense." But Lin Qing'er knew him well, she had already guessed seven points, and said with a wry smile: "This clay figurine has no feet, how could it run into someone's arms by itself, and it's almost as good as someone taking a sheep by hand."

"I really came here by myself, and even talked." Wang Xian's face was not red, but he stared and said: "I don't believe it."

"What did you say?" Lin Qing'er gave him an infinitely beautiful look.

"Call me Daddy," Wang Xian looked at Sister Lin fieryly, "Call you Mother."

"Bad guy..." Elder sister Lin couldn't bear this the most, she moaned, her pretty face turned red to her neck, and she fell softly into her lover's arms.Da Fu poked his head out from the arms of the two of them, smiling innocently...

.

The next day, Wang Xian returned to Hangzhou to make final preparations for the county trial next month.However, there are beautiful women with red sleeves, and the family takes good care of them, and studying hard has become a kind of enjoyment, and the time will soon come to February.

As a rule, at the beginning of February, if you want to obtain a birth certificate, you must first register with the instructor of the county school, and then report to the county ceremonial room, fill in your name, place of origin, age, three generations of resumes, and obtain a co-signed guarantee from the county's linsheng. Guaranteed not to be of false nationality, hidden in mourning, not a descendant of advocating slaves, etc.These things are not big, but the process of signing up, asking for a job, guarantee... the series of things is really cumbersome, and it can't be done in three to five days.

But for him, it's another matter.In order to let Wang officials study with peace of mind, as soon as he entered February, Han Jiaoyu from the county school and Guan Sili from the Lifang went to Hangzhou to handle a document for him.As usual, when registering at the county school instructor's office, you have to ask a familiar granary student to be a guarantee. If you can't find a scholar who is willing to be a guarantee, then you cannot apply.After registering the name, the instructor will send another granary student as the assistant guarantor. Without this person, he will not be able to take the exam.

So this has also become a good opportunity for those poor talents to play the autumn wind. According to the market, even if it is a deputy insurance, it will cost two taels of silver and a banquet to spend. It is really a money-burning business, and it is not surprising that many scholars are penniless.

Of course, Wang Xian didn't have to worry about this, Li Yu and other talented people who came with Han Jiaoyu, offered to co-sign him with insurance, and also enthusiastically asked, do you need free pre-exam counseling?

Wang Xian had Sister Lin and Yu Qian as guardians, so he didn't need their help, but he was very grateful for their enthusiasm and kindly kept them for dinner, but the scholars were afraid of delaying his study, so it was inconvenient to bother him. Finally, the two sides met after the county examination and revisited the West Lake. Enjoy the spring with the lamp, and then reluctantly leave.

Speaking of which, the two sides used to regard each other as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, but now they are as good as something. It can be seen that the fickle things in this world are not only the feelings of women, but also the relationship between men...

Wang Xian had no time to feel emotional, so Wang Xian had to hurry up and practice composition. It is said that from last year to now, he has memorized no less than a thousand Chengwen. When you have passed a thousand stereotyped essays, you will know how to write an essay.

The so-called eight-legged essay refers to the eight parts of the article-breaking the topic, inheriting the topic, starting the lecture, starting, starting the section, middle section, back section, and conclusion!This is a style that has the highest requirements on format, and each section has specific requirements, such as the first two sentences, or three or four sentences, which are called breaking the topic, and most of them are pairs of sentences.Then explain its meaning and make four or five sentences, which are called inheritance questions.Then it is proposed why the master made this statement, which is called the beginning of the speech... At the end of the article, after the words of the sage have been performed, and then express what you see, or count ten or more than a hundred words, it is called the conclusion.

Everything has a formula, as long as you are willing to work hard, it is not impossible to perfuse a compliant stereotyped essay.Of course, this is only the minimum standard. If an article wants to be judged by the examiner, it needs to be outstanding. This requires many years of immersion in this way to see the subtle words and righteousness of the saint, and it cannot be done quickly.

However, no matter how many rules there are in composition, it is still a subjective question.Subjective questions, you know, as long as you can’t find any major problems, it’s not that the examiner says you can do it, you can do it, you can’t do it, you can’t do it, you can’t do it, you can’t do it?
And the county test is unclear and the name is not transcribed...

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was February [-]th. On this day, accompanied by Shuaihui and Erhei, Wang Xian left Hangzhou and returned to Fuyang to prepare for the next day's imperial examination.

In Fuyang, he still lives in Lu Yuanwai's villa... Oh forgot, it's his villa now. Lu Yuanwai saw that he liked this exquisite and elegant small house very much, so he brought eight or nine servants in the house together. He was given to Wang Xian as his residence when he returned home.

Wang Xian was polite, and then he accepted it with a smile. Lao Lu now has a net worth of tens of thousands of taels, and this house is just a drop in the bucket, so the meaning should be right.

Knowing that the master was coming back to take the exam, three days in advance, the house began to be busy, and when Wang Xian came back, everything was ready.In the evening, Wang Xian, Li Yu and Yu Xiucai came to have dinner together. These two are his guarantors for tomorrow, and they are honored to be valued by Daguan Wang. They explained to him the procedures and rules for tomorrow in detail: " There are a total of five county examinations, four of which are eight-legged essays with four-book questions, and one of which requires Fu or ancient poetry. In the future, people will be deleted every time, and finally there will be 60 people who will be selected in the county test."

"Although there are five exams, there are more than 600 people in our county taking the exam. How can the elder have the energy to watch each one? In fact, he only concentrates on reading the first four books." Yu Xiucai said mysteriously: "I don't even read the first chapter. I just read the first three sentences. If the first three sentences don't catch my eye, the scholar will be bad. If I can, I'll be admitted."

"So in the first three sentences of the first chapter, the adults must use all their strength, and the latter is almost enough." Li Xiucai nodded in agreement.

"The top names in the first to fourth rounds are all called drafts. Drafters are also the first volumes of unfinalized cases, but they are not interesting. Because the top names in the final round of the exam are the real heads of the case." The scholar continued: "Only the chief of the case is interesting, because as a rule, as long as there are no major mistakes in the case of the county and government examinations, the chief of the case must be a scholar, otherwise the magistrate will not look good on the face of the county."

"Besides the top of the case, the rest of the rankings are of little significance." Li Xiucai said again: "Even if you are the first in the first four exams, but you don't get the top of the case in the last one, you may not be able to enter the scholar in the college entrance examination. "Pause and said: "No matter how bad you are in the exam, even if you don't pass the county exam, you can still take the government exam. If you don't pass the government exam, you can still take the college exam. "

"In this way," Wang Xian said with a smile, "the county government examination is only to get the first two cases, so it's too much work."

"Hehe, you can't say that," Li Xiucai said with a smile, "I said that if you haven't taken the county exam, you can still take the government exam. It's for people like us. That's fine, and the college examination also has to be specially approved by the master, if it's an ordinary student, the master can make the magistrate look bad, and the prefect can't give the magistrate face?"

"Hehe, yes." Wang Xian nodded, thinking that only a few people can enjoy the privileges granted by the imperial court, and most people have to follow the steps and pass the entrance examination.

"If you want me to say, it's better for you to ask Jiangzhi County to give you the case chief. Regardless of the 21, this student is the right one." Yu Xiucai came up with a bad idea.

"Good idea!" Li Xiucai praised: "With your lord's status in Fuyang County, even if you take the case first, everyone will be convinced!"

"Hehe..." Wang Xian looked at the two with a smile, wondering if they were stupid in reading, or they had no good intentions to come up with such a bad idea.He, who has an official to participate in the county examination, is already eye-catching enough. If he takes the lead in the case again, there will be an uproar.In case there are those scholars who are not selected, they sue aggressively for a while, even if they press this matter, their reputation will be ruined, how can they mess around in the future?So absolutely not desirable.

Seeing that he smiled and didn't respond, the two hurriedly said: "We also came up with an idea blindly. If your lord thinks it's inappropriate, just listen to it as a joke." smashed.

"Where is it?" Wang Xian shook his head and smiled, "I have learned a lot from what you two have said, and I will keep it all in my heart." After talking for a while, he was asked to take the two gentlemen to the guest room to rest, because of the exam They are all famous in the sky, so they will live here and go there with Wang Xian tomorrow morning.

Wang Xian also returned to the back house, and saw Lin Qing'er carefully tidying up the test basket for him, Wang Xian leaned over, hugged her slender waist and said, "Isn't everything packed?"

"Don't worry, I'd better sort it out again." Lin Qing'er didn't turn her head, and counted the pens, ink, papers and inkstones and food inside, "I can rest assured that nothing will go wrong."

"I think you are more nervous than I am." Wang Xian said with a smile, "Which one of us will take the exam?"

Lin Qing'er rolled his eyes at him, everything was kept silent.

　I was really tired during the day today, I couldn’t write anymore, I slept until 4 o’clock, regained my energy, and immediately re-entered the battle, continue, come on, come on! ! ! !
