My life skills in Daming Liver

Upstairs in Kuixing, the waiter who served food heard the commotion on the top floor and the words Yanping Mansion, and went upstairs cheerfully.

"You are all the ministers of Yanping Mansion, congratulations!"

The guy is also a smart guy. He knows that those who can hold a banquet in the Kuixing Tower are basically sure to win. He said auspicious words while saying:

"This year, Mr. Xie Yuan belongs to the Yanping Mansion. May I ask who is the gentleman here? The villain dares to ask for a reward!"

Jieyuan? From Yanping Prefecture?

Immediately someone came up and asked, "Who is Xie Yuangong?"

The little servant thought for a while and said, "I heard that the young one seems to be a gentleman surnamed Su."

Huang Shixing's eyes jumped when he heard Su's surname, right?

He blurted out and asked, "Su Ze?"

The servant immediately said, "It's Su Ze. Is this Mr. Su also upstairs? Congratulations, Mr. Xie Yuan!"

The boys worshiped together, but no one answered, making the scene even more embarrassing.

Huang Shixing only felt his head buzzing, Su Ze? How can it be?

It was his first time to take the provincial examination, and he won the Jieyuan?

A failed scholar was already in a bad mood, and when he heard that Su Zezhong knew Yuan, his mood was even worse.

He often arranges Su Ze with Huang Shixing on weekdays. The scholar opened his eyes wide and said to the boy:

"No, get off!"

The boy also had good eyesight, so he quickly put down the food in his hand and ran down.

A group of people gathered around Huang Shixing and said, "Su Ze? He won the prize just after he was admitted to be a scholar this year? How is that possible?"

"I've heard people from the county school say that Su Ze's level is that Zhongxiu is not bad, but Zhongjieyuan is absolutely impossible!"

"It must be an imperial examination fraud case!"

"Yes, I heard that Su Ze has married the daughter of the former magistrate Fang Wanghai's family. This time, Fang Wanghai came up with the eunuchs. He must have lost his relationship and saved Su Ze's marriage!"

"It must be so! Brother Huang is so talented that he is only ninety in the provincial examination?"

"That's right, that's for sure!"

"A retest is required!"

"Retest!"

The re-examination of the township examination, that is, the candidates on the Beijing list will be re-examined. If the answers are not good or the words are not clear, they will be disqualified from the examination, but those who fail the examination will not be replaced again.

That is to say, the re-examination only selects people and does not add people, and it has nothing to do with those who did not pass the exam.

But those who watch the excitement don't think it's a big deal, and the fairness of the imperial examination has always been a topic of most concern to the scholars, and the call for a re-examination is getting louder and louder.

Originally, Huang Shixing was in a normal mood, but he shuddered when he heard the retest.

The five classics chiefs and the ninety ones are actually the same. With the qualifications for juren, you will have the qualifications to take the examination and be an official. Huang Shixing can accept it when he thinks about it.

But once the re-examination, with his level, whether he can pass the exam is still a question, he said quickly:

"Everyone, calm down, the imperial examination is a major matter, and there is no evidence to say that Su Ze cheated, so how can he corrupt people's innocence out of thin air."

Huang Shixing felt like he had eaten shit, he hated Su Ze the most, but wouldn't it be even more uncomfortable if the re-examination lost the qualifications he had obtained?

But everyone didn't know what Huang Shixing was thinking, they were just clamoring to go to the Gongyuan to make trouble, and they must settle the matter of the reexamination.

While pushing Huang Shixing, he also said that Huang Shixing is generous.

Seeing Huang Shixing refusing to leave, the scholar just stood up and took the lead, and a group of Yanping Mansion scholars who were drunk rushed towards the Gongyuan.

After Chen Chaoyuan and others saw that Xie Yuan was Su Ze, they immediately rushed from Gongyuan Square to Xichan Temple.

Naturally, none of them made the list, but it was also the honor of all the students from the county school that Su Ze won the title of Jie Yuan for Nanping.

Everyone wanted to tell Su Ze about the happy event as soon as possible.

Fuzhou Prefecture and Quanzhou Prefecture were originally the imperial examination centers. In recent years, Jieyuan came from the two prefectures. When they heard that a little-known scholar from Yanping Prefecture had won the Jieyuan throne, these examinees also became indignant.

At this time, a bunch of people came down from the Kuixing Building, swearing and shouting for re-examination, candidates from Fuzhou Prefecture and Quanzhou Prefecture also agreed one after another, and came to the entrance of the Gongyuan.

When Wang Daokun heard the report, the deputy examiner and the invigilator quickly said: "President Wang, the people in Fujian are so fond of litigation. These things have always happened in the rankings, just ignore it."

Wang Daokun stood up directly and said, "Open the door, I want to meet these scholars."

Wang Daokun straightened his clothes, opened the gate of the tribute courtyard, and saw the scholars who were petitioning at the door and said:

"The Beijing list has been published, what do you think is unfair?"

Seeing Wang Daokun wearing an official uniform, several leading scholars immediately faltered, but they still boldly said:

"Xie Yuan Su Ze has no literary name, so how did he win the championship?"

Wang Daokun sneered and said, "Su Rulin's "The Peony Pavilion" was sung by me when I passed by Jiangxi. Do you have any good poems and songs?"

As soon as they heard that Su Ze was the one who wrote The Peony Pavilion, many people were immediately scared.

Now the most popular drama in Fuzhou Prefecture is the Peony Pavilion, and it can be said that Luoyang Zhigui is the most popular drama in Fuzhou.

At present, Xiong Wu's sales channels have not yet spread to Fuzhou Prefecture. Some wealthy families specially send servants on fast horses to buy newspapers in nearby cities where there is a surprise sale, and then send them back quickly.

But there are still a few scholars who are familiar with Huang Shixing said:

"The judging is unfair! Huang Shixing, a scholar of our government, is known for his talent, why is he only listed in the 90th place!"

Hearing this, Wang Daokun smiled slightly, then changed his tone and said:

"The township examination is a national event. It's better to be cautious. Then don't send a post for the list. It will be decided after a retest in two days."

After saying this, Wang Daokun turned around and returned directly to the Gong Yuan.

That's it, agree?

The scholars around you looked at me, I looked at you, and I didn't know who yelled "Let's go, let's go", and they all acted like monkeys and scattered.

After receiving the news, Huang Shixing felt dizzy, what should we do?

And Chen Chaoyuan and his group rushed to the West Zen Temple, and when they rushed to Su Ze's room, Su Ze was still discussing carpentry skills with the old monk.

Chen Chaoyuan stepped into the room and shouted: "Congratulations, brother Rulin! Congratulations, brother Rulin! You have won the prize!"

Abbot Ci'en was startled, Su Ze actually fell in love with Xie Yuan?

After discussing carpentry with me for so long, it turned out to be Xie Yuangong from this local examination? !

Monk Ci'en was immediately overjoyed. Su Ze is staying at Xichan Temple today. He is a senior high school student, and the single room in Xichan Temple will definitely be overcrowded during the next provincial examination!

After a while, Han Li, who was behind, rushed in and said:

"Congratulations Rulin! I just heard that scholars from Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and Yanping suspected cheating in the imperial examination at the entrance of the Gongyuan. The chief officer, Mr. Wang, has already decided to retake the exam in two days."

"Retest?"

Chen Chaoyuan immediately said: "With Ru Lin's talent and learning, what are you afraid of for the re-examination! Let's retreat quickly and let Brother Ru Lin prepare for the re-examination!"

Abbot Ci'en immediately said, "I'll close the mountain gate and let Su Xianggong prepare for the exam!"

Retest?

Su Ze didn't expect that there was such a side issue. He smiled wryly and continued the exam.

But let's take the exam, anyway, it doesn't matter to Su Ze whether he understands Yuan or not, as long as he is admitted to Juren.

The candidates who passed the exam scolded the scholars in the three prefectures for being troublesome, and continued to prepare for the re-examination.

Two days later, the gate of the Gongyuan was reopened. This time Wang Daokun printed the papers himself, and all the prospective applicants sat in the Tianzi examination room near the chief examiner, and re-examined the Four Books and Five Classics.

Huang Shixing was trembling nervously, while Su Ze was calmly sitting in the numbered room, taking out his pen and ink to prepare for the exam.

"Curls!"

The same examiner personally distributed the papers to the candidates, and Wang Daokun even went around the examination room directly.

Seeing the paper, several people scolded their mothers.

The re-examination only examines the content of the first round, that is, three chapters of the Four Books and four chapters of the Five Classics.

But I saw that the questions this time were much more difficult than those of the last township examination, especially the part of the Four Books, which were very rare scriptures.

Huang Shixing became even more dizzy when he saw it.

According to Su Ze's Lv10+2 imperial examination skills, this time the rural examination is indeed more difficult than the previous one, but there are no cut-off questions in the rural examination. In fact, the test is still about the understanding of the four books and five classics.

He picked up the pen and quickly typed the manuscript paper.

Wang Daokun walked up to Su Ze, stared at his draft paper for a long time, stroked his beard and nodded.

Su Ze raised his head and saw a familiar face. Isn't this the merchant Wang who asked for a book?

So he is the examiner Wang Daokun?

Su Ze froze for a moment, seeing Wang Daokun nodding to him with a smile, Su Ze also nodded and continued to answer the paper.

After watching Su Ze, Wang Daokun walked to Huang Shixing again.

Wang Daokun frowned. It had already been an hour. Su Ze answered the questions so quickly, he had already completed two questions of the Four Letters, but Huang Shixing didn't even break the first question.

In fact, Huang Shixing's original ability is not so bad, but once a person takes a shortcut, it is difficult to take the right path again.

After cheating once, he became more dependent on cheating. Huang Shixing was already guilty and nervous, but when he saw that the papers were deserted, he became even more flustered, and instead couldn't answer the questions.

Wang Daokun inspected the circle and was satisfied with the talents and learning of most of the quasi-juren. He invigilated the exam until dark. Su Ze was naturally the first one to finish the exam. Wang Daokun nodded slightly to him, and Su Ze also knew that this time it was safe. .

Huang Shixing didn't finish the paper until the last moment, but he didn't know how he solved the problem in the first chapter of Si Shuyi, and he wasn't sure how many allusions he used.

After leaving the Gongyuan in a daze, Huang Shixing's followers who were waiting at the door immediately surrounded him.

"Brother Huang, I think Su Ze is the first to hand in the paper! He must have run away early because he couldn't answer!"

"Brother Huang! This time you will definitely be the top five in high school!"

"What Five Classics Kui! High school Jieyuan!"

It was the first time Huang Shixing felt that these servants were so noisy, he just buried his head back to the inn, and was silent all the way.

Now Huang Shixing only hated himself for uttering too many cruel words, and finally got Inspector Wang to agree to re-examination, re-examination, re-examination, what a stupid re-examination!

Since there were only ninety papers, the Gongyuan lit candles and quickly began copying and revising the papers with anonymous names.

The papers were corrected very quickly, and by midnight, all ninety papers had been corrected.

The examiners gathered in Xulun Hall, and the deputy examiner said:

"Ninety test papers, only one of which I can't understand."

Wang Daokun knew which paper it was without asking. He simply checked it and said, "Let's unpack the paper and make a list. Send someone to post the list, and let the new imperial examiners come to the Tribute Court to receive the gift."

All the examiners took orders one after another, and removed the names. Sure enough, the first paper was still Su Ze's.

And the paper that was dismissed belonged to Huang Shixing.

There was not much change in the ranking. After copying the Beijing list, Wang Daokun affixed his own seal and ribbon, and asked the officials of the Fujian chief envoy to affix the seal of the chief envoy's office.

Immediately afterwards, the officials of the Gongyuan began to copy the posters, and the posters of Dahong were the admission notices for the provincial examinations.

The higher the list posts, the more generous the rewards, especially the list posts of Xie Yuan and Wu Jing Kui are all in high demand. Fortunately, the one who snatched the list posts of Xie Yuan was Lin Shuli, who was in charge of the government envoy’s yamen. Excited, he checked the registration book and found Su Ze's registered temporary residence, so he rushed out with two yamen servants.

Just after dawn, the gate of the Gongyuan opened, and several government servants rushed out and began posting the re-examination list.

The number of people who came to see the re-examination list was much less, and if there were no supplementary entries in the re-examination, it would have nothing to do with most of the people who failed the list.

Except for those who made trouble at that time, and some spectators crowded in the square, most people stayed where they lived and waited for the news.

Anyway, the imperial examination is a major event for the entire Fuzhou Prefecture, and the results of the re-examination will be spread throughout the Fuzhou Prefecture before the sun rises, so there is no need to get up early to read it.

Huang Shixing was also standing in the crowd. When the list opened and the last place was No. 89, Huang Shixing felt a thump in his heart.

As the Beijing list opened, revealing the name of Su Ze, who was number one, Huang Shixing still didn't see his own name.

He rolled his eyes and passed out.

The attendant next to him quickly helped him up and pulled him to the side. At this time, the square was full of scholars who chanted Xie Yuan's name.

After knowing that Su Ze was the author of Peony Pavilion, everyone remembered that the editor of "Guwen Guanzhi", which was sold out before the provincial examination, also had Su Ze's name.

"Guwen Guanzhi" is different from Peony Pavilion in that its literary reviews and annotations are in place, and it is regarded as a wonderful book by scholars.

Now Su Ze high school Xie Yuan, that is what everyone expects.

The gate of the Gongyuan opened again, and the scribes and government servants rushed out with the posters in their hands. They first shouted the names of the scholars in the Gongyuan Square, and those who did not respond immediately went to the accommodation address registered in the examination booklet.

At this time in Xichan Temple, a young servant stood at the door of Su Ze's single room, with two maids standing behind him.

"Are you the bookboy of Fangfu?"

Looking at Fang's token, this book boy Su Ze had also met at Fang's house before, so Su Ze let go of his suspicions.

Fang Aizhu nodded quickly and said, "Young master is well. Madam sent me to Fuzhou Mansion to inquire about the situation. When I learned that I was in high school Jieyuan, I will serve you according to Madam's orders."

Su Ze frowned. He never liked being served by others. He wanted to drive Fang Aizhu away, but Fang Aizhu said again:

"Originally, I was supposed to arrive before the announcement of the rankings. I encountered some twists and turns on the road, and after some inquiries, I came to Xichan Temple."

Seeing that the three of them looked dusty, Su Ze couldn't bear to send them away.

Fang Aizhu said again: "Before I came out, the young lady also told me that my uncle must be very busy after being promoted and needs competent staff to order."

Sure enough, as soon as Fang Aizhu finished speaking, he heard the sound of gongs and drums beating at the gate of Xichan Temple.

Fang Aizhu immediately said: "Young master has accepted the poster and has to go to the tribute courtyard to receive gifts, so hurry up and help young master change his clothes!"

The two maids immediately took out a new set of Confucian shirts, Su Ze sighed and said, "Go out, I will change it myself."

Lin Shuli, who was holding the Jieyuan Bangpost, stepped into the mountain gate of Xichan Temple with a happy face.

The system also seemed to be congratulating, and a prompt popped up:

[High school Jieyuan, imperial examination skills +5000, Lv10, 5060/10000]
