I became famous for writing ridiculous stories in ancient times

The process of the prefectural examination was basically the same as that of the county examination, and it was also held in the Imperial Academy in Liuzhou City. People from other counties had to arrive in advance, but Fu Wenyu and others did not have to. They still lived in the city two days in advance, just like the county examination.

Then there was a body search in the middle of the night to enter the venue, confirm identity, receive blank papers, etc.

During the body search, some people were found to have smuggled things, whether it was true or not.

When Fu Wenyu, Zou Erlang and Fu Mingliang were queuing, they saw someone in the next queue cursing loudly, saying that the soldiers who searched them were "disgraceful", "unruly", and "lowly in status", and that they would write to the emperor to prohibit such behavior after they passed the exam.

At first, Fu Wenyu thought he had met an old-fashioned person, and he didn't care after taking a glance.

Who knew that this man in his twenties who spoke so much was actually found to have a cheat sheet in his examination basket during the body search, and was slapped in the face on the spot.

Moreover, he was still not convinced after being found to have cheated, and he clamored to see the prefect, saying that he was wronged.

"Asshole!"

"I am wronged!"

"I want to see the prefect——"

But no one paid attention to him, and he was kicked by an impatient soldier, and fell to the ground holding his stomach, wailing and wailing. Finally, the young man who shouted to prohibit body searches was dragged away rudely.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Fu Mingliang, who followed Fu Wenyu, whispered: "... I heard from Brother Minghui that someone would throw cheating things on people when they are not paying attention. We must be careful."

Fu Wenyu and the other two looked stern, and hurriedly checked their things again. Fortunately, they did not have one more or one less thing.

They were relieved.

After entering the venue, Zou Erlang and Fu Mingliang were in the back, while Fu Wenyu was in the front room like the other first cases. After the exam, although the question types were still the same, they were more complicated and more difficult than the county exam.

However, none of these could stump Fu Wenyu.

After the results were announced, he ranked fifth.

After passing the Tongsheng exam, only the Academy exam remained.

The Academy exam was held in Liuzhou, Jiangzhou and Anzhou. This year, it happened to be Jiangzhou's turn, and the time was June 15. Unfortunately, Zou Erlang and Fu Mingliang did not pass the prefectural exam, so Fu Wenyu could only go with Zou Tongsheng, who was also going to take the exam.

There was still more than a month before the departure, and Fu Wenyu stayed at home to recuperate. As for the story of "Imperial Examination Cultivation", although some plots occasionally flashed in his mind, he did not write it again, but changed the original five-day update to a monthly update.

Readers complained continuously, and they were looking forward to him taking the Academy exam more than Fu Wenyu.

In early June, Fu Wenyu and Zou Tongsheng came to Jiangzhou.

This time, they were accompanied by people specially arranged by the village chief Fu Wencheng. One was Fu Qingtong and the other was Fu Wenhe. Of the two, Fu Qingtong was steady and old, and was one of the leaders in the village. As for Fu Wenhe, he was a rising star who came out to see the world.

Moreover, the two of them were either actors in dramas or members of the martial arts team. They were well-informed among the villagers, and following Fu Wenyu out would not cause him any trouble.

As for Zou Tongsheng, he also brought someone with him, Zou Silang from the same clan, who was also a member of the martial arts team.

Because it was still early, after successfully booking an inn, the few of them went out for a walk. As a result, during this walk, the few of them heard something. It turned out that the current governor of Jiangzhou was actually an acquaintance.

This news was found out by Fu Wenhe.

"Uncle Zou, Wenyu, guess who is the governor of Jiangzhou?"

"It's County Magistrate Mu of Chen County!"

Fu Wenhe said in a surprised tone: "I heard that he was promoted to the governor of Jiangzhou because of his great achievements in Chen County. He has only been in office for a short time."

"And he solved several cases as soon as he took office. Now everyone calls him the great judge."

When Fu Wenhe said this, Fu Wenyu also remembered it.

Isn't County Magistrate Mu of Chen County the one whom Fu Qingshi and others met when they went to Chen County when they were cheated?

Although the other party was serious, it can be seen that he was a good official.

It was also with the help of this 'County Magistrate Mu' that Fu Qingshi and others were able to get back part of their losses, otherwise the money they were cheated of would definitely not be recovered.

I didn't expect that the original 'County Magistrate Mu' has now become the 'Governor Mu'.

For a time, several people were a little emotional.

Zou Tongsheng also said: "It's a pity that now is the eve of the college entrance examination. The prefect Mu will not meet with people like us, otherwise we can go and pay a visit." As for whether he can meet him, that is another matter.

Fu Wenyu smiled and said: "When we pass the examination, we can also meet him."

Zou Tongsheng was relieved, "This makes sense." As a result, when the results of the college entrance examination came out, both of them were on the list. Fu Wenyu was the fifth, and Zou Tongsheng finally passed the exam this time, ranking 28th.

Both of them are scholars!

When the news reached Fujia Village, the whole village was boiling.

A village elder laughed so hard that his teeth were exposed, "Hahaha, scholars, both of them are scholars!"

"Add them two, and Minghui from the clan leader's family, then our village has three scholars. As long as one of the three of them can pass the examination, the village will not have to worry about the future."

"Village chief, we must worship our ancestors!"

The village chief Fu Wencheng was also very happy and said loudly: "Sacrificing ancestors is a must. Let's prepare first and start worshiping ancestors as soon as Wen Yu and others come back."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

At this time, Fu Wenyu's family was also full of people.

When they learned that Fu Wenyu had passed the scholar examination, everyone who knew him or not came to celebrate.

There are even matchmakers who come to visit.

"Mrs. Zhou, as the saying goes, you must first get married and then start a career. I have several ladies here who are suitable for your family. If you get married this year, you will be able to have grandchildren next year."

Although Zhou was a little moved, she still refused.

"Let's wait until Wen Yu comes back. This matter is not urgent."

The excitement reached a climax after Fu Wenyu and others returned. Under the auspices of the village chief Fu Wencheng, Fujia Village set up flowing mats and built a high platform, and laughter continued for three days.

After passing the scholar examination, Fu Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief.

With his fame and fame, he will not only be able to go anywhere in the future, but his social status will also be different.

As for the people who will be promoted after the scholar, he has no idea now and plans to continue studying for a while. After all, the provincial examination is held every three years, and this is not the year of the provincial examination.

After he relaxed, he was ready to continue writing his storybook.

"Imperial Examination and Cultivation of Immortality" is longer than any other article he has written before, and the current 30,000-plus words are just the beginning.

In Chapter 11, Fu Wenyu wrote about Sheng Wen, who followed his father to the "Baigongfang" after passing the examination.

‘Baigongfang’, as the name suggests, is a place that sells refining items, which is equivalent to a grocery supermarket. The items sold there range from mustard seeds that are large enough to hold several mountains, to hair ropes that are as small as hair ties. Unexpectedly, there is nothing they don't sell, whether it is for monks or ordinary people, everything is available.

Sheng Wen and his son are here to buy storage bags.

Since the scholar will be able to use the storage bag, Sheng Wen's father has long promised to buy a good storage bag for him after Sheng Wen passes the examination.

After buying the storage bags, the father and son went shopping around again.

Fu Wenyu also depicts a colorful world of immortality through the eyes of father and son.

Then we entered the academy chapter.

Because in the storybook "Imperial Examination and Cultivation of Immortality", the imperial examination is combined with the cultivation of immortality, and the imperial examination tests not only the individual's knowledge of the meaning of the scriptures, but also tests on calligraphy, law, and companionship. Therefore, each academy developed its own unique style over time because the masters were good at different things.

There are those who are good at the meaning of scriptures, some who are good at fighting, and some who are good at refining elixirs, refining weapons, talismans, etc.

Sheng Wen chose the family where the master who taught him alchemy worked.

It's called "Xiaoyao Academy".

When writing this, Fu Wenyu felt that something was missing from the simple academy life, and since it was a world where destiny was determined by imperial examinations, how could he miss the 'Math Olympiad' and 'admission'?

So after studying there for a while, the master called Sheng Wen over and said to him: "Sheng Wen, you are the most talented child I have ever seen, otherwise I wouldn't have been there when I was sent to the school. I will accept you as my disciple on a temporary basis.”

Sheng Wen, who had grown into a young man, replied calmly: "Thank you, Master, for the compliment."

The master nodded with satisfaction.

Then he said earnestly and sincerely: "We all know that being a scholar is just the beginning of the imperial examination. If you can't move forward, you will still turn into a cup of loess after your longevity."

"The day you first arrived at the school, your master told you, right? If you don't become a Jinshi, you will be an ant. So if nothing else happens, you will have to take the examination for Juren and Jinshi in the future. Regardless of Juren, the examination will be held once every three years, and four people will be admitted at once. Ten people, as long as you persist, you will pass the exam one day."

"But Jinshi is much more difficult than being a candidate, and it's not that easy to pass."

Sheng Wen thought that after decades of taking the exam, he was still the same parent as Juren, and nodded in agreement. Moreover, not only his parents were doing the same thing, but Erniu's parents were also doing the same.

As for other relatives and friends, most of them are scholars and scholars, and only a few are Jinshi.

Is it because everyone is not working hard enough?

Of course not!

In fact, most people work hard. For example, Sheng Wen's mother still insists on studying. As for his father, he is also improving himself through minor studies and has never slacked off.

But if you don't pass the exam, you don't pass the exam.

Based on the thirty-six tributaries of the imperial court, forty candidates will be born every three years. The thirty-six tributaries are more than 1,400 people. But more than 1,400 people have to compete with those who have passed the examination in the past to compete for the Jinshi quota, which is limited to 300 in three years.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is one out of ten thousand.

The difficulty can be imagined.

His master saw that his apprentice understood, so he continued: "But now there is an opportunity that can make it smoother for you to take the exam. That is the athletic competition held only once in a hundred years by the imperial court. As long as you can get a ranking in it, then you will be able to take the exam. When you lift people, you can get higher scores than others.”

"If you win the first place, then your reputation as a successful candidate will be a sure thing."

"Would you like to go?"

A sure-fire success?

Sheng Wen's eyes lit up, "I'm willing to go and ask the master to teach me!"

His master laughed, "Then you must defeat the people in the academy first. Once you defeat them, the spot will be yours. Don't take it lightly, this is a competition that everyone in the world aspires to."

"Because if you get a good ranking in the country, you can go abroad to compete with people from other countries. If you can still win, it will be very beneficial for you to take the imperial examination in the future."

"Of course, this is a matter for the future."

Sheng Wen nodded heavily, "Please rest assured, Master."

He was confident in himself.

So in the next competition in the academy, Sheng Wen successfully obtained a place with his outstanding alchemy skills and had the opportunity to participate in the competition held by the court.
