I am very grateful to Jiang Fengliunian (588) for the reward!

Zhang Xun spread his hands, seeing that Zhang Xun was not holding a chess piece, Luo Xin said, "Brother Zhang, please come in and talk."

Zhang Xun shook his head and said, "Brother Xin, shall we go for a walk by the river?"

"it is good!"

Luo Xin didn't go back to deliver the flute, he walked out of the courtyard door, closed the courtyard door behind him, and walked side by side with Zhang Xun towards the small river not far away.

Zhang Xun was very silent today, Luo Xin looked at him a few times and saw his thoughtful face, so he didn't bother him, just accompanied him to the riverside, and walked slowly along the river.

"Brother Xin, I'm going to end next year."

Luo Xin was startled and said: "Brother Zhang is ready to start the scientific examination?"

"Yeah!" Zhang Xun's eyes showed a trace of nervousness: "I'm already 12 years old, and I'm not only studying with Mr. Lin in the school, but my father also gives me lectures every day. If I don’t take the exam next year, I’ll have to wait another three years, and I’ll be 15 years old in three years. Brother Xin, you haven’t been in school for a long time, so you still don’t understand the exam?”

Of course Luo Xin understood that in his previous life he had thoroughly researched ancient scientific research.But at this time, of course, I can't say that I understand, so I said:

"The teacher thinks that I am still young and not qualified for the scientific examination, so he hasn't told me yet."

Zhang Xun glanced at Luo Xin and said, "Actually, I think with your current level, you can take the county examination."

"County test?"

"That's right! The exam we just started was called the boy's test, also known as the children's test. The children's test includes three stages of examinations: the county test, the government test and the hospital test. The county test is generally presided over by the magistrate, and the county's children have to take the same test. Those who are five people are connected with each other, and they can take the exam only if they have a guarantor from the county.

Most of the exams are in February. There is only one exam for the county exam, government exam, and college exam. Each exam has two stereotyped essays. The county exam and the government exam are four-book questions. , Poems, policy theory, etc., you can take the government examination only after you pass the county examination.The government examination is presided over by the magistrate or the prefect of Zhili Prefecture, and the Tongzhi of Zhili Office. The examination content and sessions are the same as the county examination, and the examination period is mostly in April.Only those who pass the government examination can participate in the hospital examination.The college examination, also called the Taoist examination, is presided over by Xuezheng, who is in charge of the affairs of Confucian scholars in a province.After passing the college examination, you are called a scholar, and you can enter the official school and formally take the imperial examination.

In February next year, there will be the county examination first, then the government examination in April, and the Taoist examination for the promotion of academic officials in the following year.Brother Xin, don't underestimate the boy's test. The small questions in the boy's test are difficult to do. There are fewer scholars in the north than in the south, but it is almost one out of forty. "

Luo Xin couldn't help shaking his head slightly, this competition is no worse than the college entrance examination of later generations, and even more intense.This is just a county test, so if you go to the government test, the road test...

"Brother Xin, the reason why I asked you to take the county exam next year is because I think you should be able to pass the knowledge, and even if you fail, you should familiarize yourself with the exam room, anyway, you are still young."

Luo Xin thought for a while, and finally realized that he was too young, even if he passed the examination of scholar, what could he do at such an age?
Traveling?

Is it strange that the parents agree?
So Luo Xin shook his head calmly and said: "I'm still too young, let's talk about it in a few years. I wish Brother Zhang a successful start and success in no time. He will easily kill the general and win the case for three times in a row. Guan, become a scholar."

Zhang Xun sighed softly and said, "How is it so easy? Many scholars have to try many times to pass the most basic county and government examinations to become Tongsheng. There are also some people who fail the college examinations many times after obtaining the status of Tongsheng. There are many people who still call "Tongsheng" in Cang Cang."

The two of them talked and walked, and the sky gradually dimmed.Zhang Xun looked up at the sky and said, "Go back."

"it is good!"

"Brother Xin really doesn't plan to take the county test next year?"

"Not going!" Luo Xin shook his head and smiled.

Zhang Xun didn't try to persuade him any more, once the sun set in the sky in March, there would be a cool breeze, making people feel slightly cold.The two quickened their pace, and soon came to Luo Xin's house. Luo Xin took a deep breath, the slightly cold air lifted his spirits, and bowed his hands to Zhang Xun and said:
"Thank you Brother Zhang for your explanation, I wish Brother Zhang a good news!"

Zhang Xun smiled and said, "If I pass the children's examination, even if I only pass the county examination, my father will send me to study in the county. From now on, it will be rare for you and my brothers to get together. I hope that Brother Xin will come to the county in three years. Be classmates with me again."

Luo Xin also said with a smile: "I'm afraid Brother Zhang will go to the meeting in three years. Even if I become a child student, I won't be able to study with Brother Zhang."

Zhang Xun shook his head, then sighed softly, "It's so easy!"

Then he bid farewell to Luo Xin.After walking a long distance, he looked back and saw that Luo Xin was still standing in front of the courtyard gate, but he didn't look at him, his head was slightly lowered as if he was thinking about something.Behind him is a dilapidated house.

Luo Xin stood in front of the courtyard gate, with his head slightly lowered, thinking in his heart, one out of forty, this is just the county examination, this journey from the death of a child to the Jinshi is really a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge.At this moment, Luo Xin felt a little timid.

No!

I must find a way...

Suddenly, there was a noise from the end of the village, waking Luo Xin up from his meditation. He looked up and saw that Zhang Xun had disappeared, so he glanced at the end of the village again. He was too lazy to watch the excitement, so he turned over and opened the courtyard door. walked in.

"mother!"

"Big brother!"

No one answered, Luo Xin felt a little strange, so he walked into the east and west rooms of the house and looked around, but he didn't see his mother and elder brother.Standing in the house and thinking for a while, he walked out of the courtyard door and walked towards the end of the village.

When I came to the end of the village, I saw a courtyard door open, and there were many people inside and out. This was Zhang Wang's home, and it was also an ordinary farmer like the Luo family. At this time, I don't know why almost the whole village gathered here. , Luo Xin looked around curiously, but he didn't see his mother and elder brother. He thought that maybe they were in the yard, so he went to the crowd and asked:
"Lin Bo, have you seen my mother and elder brother?"

Lin Bo turned his head and saw that it was the village prodigy Luo Xin, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Brother Xin, your mother and elder brother are inside."

Then he shouted loudly: "Folks, make way for Brother Xin."

When the people in front heard this, they all walked out of a human-shaped alley, and looked at Luo Xin with smiles on their faces.Luo Xin knew that they respected him because of his title of child prodigy, so he bowed his hands to thank the neighbors on both sides and walked forward, listening to the praise of the neighbors:

"Brother Xin is really polite."

Luo Xin walked into the gate of the courtyard, and saw that the courtyard was also full of people, all of them cocking their feet and looking into the window, with curiosity, excitement, and fear on their faces...
