Take the imperial examinations with the red envelopes of the writers

The next day Su Yan excitedly suggested to his father Su Yue that his second brother Su Yue should take the "mock exam".

The literary giants in the group also talked a lot:

Cao Zhi: What is a mock exam?Imitate, but imitate the imitation county test?

Su Yan couldn't help giving Zijian a thumbs-up in his heart, he deserves to be a literary hero in Jian'an, and he guessed it just by hearing the name.

Su Yan: Yes!It is to imitate the examination form of the county examination, and go through the process at home by myself, so as to adapt to the examination in advance, check for omissions and make up for vacancies, and can also eliminate various emergencies in the examination room as soon as possible, and exercise the mind.

Li Bai: This method is wonderful!

Du Fu: Brother Yan is quite clever!

Su Shi: Very good!Every year, there are many examinees who are quite knowledgeable when they talk eloquently on weekdays, but when they enter the examination room, their faces turn pale and they are confused. What they write is incomprehensible and nonsense, and some even get the title of "white paper scholar".

Su Shi: Thinking back to the "On Punishment, Reward and Loyalty" I wrote during the scientific examination back then, I also made up an allusion about "Gaotao killing people", but no one in charge of the examination at that time recognized it.

Su Yan: Pass tea to the boss.jpg

Su Shi: However, if my student Li Fangshu also took the mock exam earlier, I am afraid that he would not fail repeatedly.What a pity, what a pity.

"Well, the mock exam makes sense." Su Yue looked thoughtful.According to the youngest son, a shed similar to the number of the county examination room should be built in the yard of the home, imitating the examination process of the county examination, and the examination papers will be produced by oneself or using previous examination questions, so that Su Yu can experience the examination of the county examination in advance atmosphere.

"This is a good idea!" Su Yue immediately made a decision, and ordered the housekeeper, Uncle Zhou, to find a carpenter to make a similar examination room.

"Father, the examination shed for the county examination should not be very new, it should be a bit worn out, with some air leakage or something?" Su Yan raised his small face and poked secretly to remind him.He thought in his heart, this is all for the second brother's model test to be more realistic, and when he officially ends, he is so calm and unhurried, he absolutely has no other ideas!

At least he didn't suggest that Dad set up the test booth next to the toilet to simulate the situation of encountering a "stinky number"!

Just like that, when Su Yu looked at the dilapidated examination shed in the yard with his forehead throbbing, and was told that he was about to take the "County Examination Mock Exam", he looked keenly at his little brother who was carved with jade, and raised his eyebrows , with vague doubts in his eyes.His father didn't look like someone who would make such a suggestion!

Su Yan opened his round almond eyes, blinked and looked at his second brother Su Yu pretending to be innocent.

The eldest brother Su Ze stood aside and watched the little movements of the two younger brothers, his brows were gentle, and there was a hint of a smile in his usual stern eyes.He continued to watch the interaction of the two younger brothers without expression.

Su Yan saw that his second brother still had doubts on his face, so he hurriedly activated the secret trick of showing off cuteness, shaking his little head and waving his small fists at his second brother.

"Second brother, you have to take the mock exam well. I asked Chef Feng to prepare delicious food and you can enjoy it after the exam!" After finishing speaking, Su Yan saw Ban Xia sharply. He had asked Ban Xia to go to the kitchen to prepare. A bowl of ginger soup.Look at how much he cares about his elder brother. It's winter, so don't freeze his second elder brother to death.

Su Yan took the white porcelain bowl in Ban Xia's hand, the hot ginger soup exuded a strong spicy taste, and the surrounding air-conditioning seemed to be dispelled.Su Yan attentively held the hot ginger soup and brought it to his second brother.

Su Yu looked at his face that was a little red from the wind, both funny and helpless, took a sip of his drink, touched his head, and took the test basket that Uncle Zhou had prepared next to him, and slowly Walk into the narrow and dilapidated test shed.

It is now January, the winter sky is gloomy, the cold wind whizzes past, and the bitterness is mixed with a trace of coldness and dampness.

Su Yan watched as his second brother lit candles in the narrow examination room, waiting for the "temporary invigilator" father Su Yue to hand out the test papers and straw papers when the time came.

I have to say that my brother is really excellent.Most people would be in a hurry, but Su Yu finished it in an orderly manner.

Seeing how easy his second brother took the mock exam, Su Yan felt that his brother should be stable in the exam.

After the three rounds of mock exams, and a few days before the county exam, they came to the best inn in Changxi County and booked a few rooms so that Su Yu could prepare for the county exam.At this time, Su Yan felt that he was like a parent sending him to the college entrance examination, more nervous than Su Yu, the person involved.

Su Yu looked at his younger brother's serious face full of complicated emotions, couldn't help but smiled, reached out and rubbed his tender face, tsk, it feels so good.

With a smile in Su Yu's eyes, he joked, "So worried about your second brother? Brother Yan doesn't believe my level."

Su Yan slapped off the evil hand of the second brother with his paw, and made a grimace with his tongue sticking out at his brother, "I'm not worried about you! Anyway, if you fail the exam, you'll be ashamed of yourself!" After finishing speaking, he ran out.Su Yu's teeth itch, this little bastard is indeed the cutest when he is angry.

The three county exams were exhausting. Although the second brother Su Yue looked much better than the other people who had taken the exams, he still looked exhausted.

The Suyu County Examination passed smoothly, and the case was included in the bag.Next, go to Minzhou Examination.Minzhou is a state under the administration of Jiangling Prefecture, and the county where the state government is located is generally called "the first county".Changxi County is not far from Chongshan County, the first county in Minzhou, and it takes a day and a night to get there by horse-drawn carriage.Su Yan tormented his father for a long time before he got his father to agree to take him there to open his eyes.

The county seat of Chongshan County is slightly larger than that of Changxi County, but due to the same geographical location, the buildings are also of the same style. The small stone streets are all over the county, and there are tea houses, restaurants, inns and workshops on both sides of the street, and there are many hawkers in the open space. a small vendor.There is a moat called "Yongze River" surrounding the county seat. The river is clear and clear. There are two or three small boats in the water, and the sound of oars makes the boat shadows. It is a peaceful and peaceful town scene.

Su Yu once again successfully won the first case of the government trial.

Tongsheng participates in county examinations, government examinations, and hospital examinations. Whoever ranks first is called the head of the case.The first person to win three cases in a row is Xiao Sanyuan.

Thinking that the second brother might get the little three yuan soon!Su Yan was very excited.

Su Yue became more and more calm, glanced at him, and poured cold water on him: "The college entrance examination is more than twice as difficult as the government examination, and the students who can pass the government examination are all able to understand and have their own strengths. Talented people are like crucian carp crossing the river. What's more, I heard that Lu Xianzhi, a talented scholar in Jiangling, will also fail in this subject."

"Lu Xianzhi? Who is he?" Su Yan asked curiously.

"Lu Jue, the word Xianzhi, comes from the Lu family in Jiangling. The Lu family is a leading family, and it has firmly rooted in Jiangling during the previous dynasty. Lu Xianzhi's grandfather is the teacher of the current emperor. Not only the emperor respects him very much, but Lord Lu knows it well. He is famous for his outstanding knowledge of the ancients and the present, and all scholars in the world know his name." There was also a hint of admiration in Su Yu's words, he had heard his father Su Yue praise Mr. Lu for his integrity and foresight when he was in the capital.

He continued: "Lu Xianzhi was very intelligent when he was young, and it is said that he has the ability to never forget. When he was studying with the prince, he was praised by the emperor for his outstanding talent. And he was accepted by the great Confucian Mr. Anhe at a young age. As a disciple, he must be determined to win the first case in this court trial."

Su Yan was dumbfounded, this little brother Lu Xianzhi got a proper script for the heroine.

Su Yu pretended to be depressed, and sighed faintly: "Since Sheng Yu, He Shengliang."

The college examination was held in Yangzhou, the capital city of Jiangling Prefecture. Jiangling Prefecture has a prosperous literary style and outstanding people.Now all the talents who have passed the government examination under the Jiangling government are gathered here, it can be said that a group of talents gathers together, and the crowd competes for beauty.

It was evening when they arrived in Yangzhou by boat, and the afterglow of the evening sun lightly fell on the cornices of the pavilions. The fine halos were like fluttering butterflies, adding a bit of hazy and poetic flavor to the prosperous evening scene of Yangzhou city in front of them. .

After the Su family disembarked, the housekeeper, Uncle Zhou, had already hired a carriage and waited quietly at the pier for a long time. Uncle Zhou had already arrived in Yangzhou half a month ago, and arranged for the host's family's next basic necessities of life.

They got into the carriage and went to the yard that Uncle Zhou had rented in advance. Su Yan lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the scenery of Yangzhou City.

Yangzhou, the prefecture of Jiangling, is much more magnificent than Chongshan County, Changxi County. The streets are spacious and grand, extending from north to south and intersecting from east to west.There are dotted houses, and there are many shops on both sides of the street.Teahouses, restaurants, inns, pawnshops, and workshops are lined up next to each other, and the shops are crowded with people.There is an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, some are on the road, some are driving and carrying sedan chairs, some are leisurely shopping, some are stopping to chat, and some are admiring the scenery of Shuhe River and Heshan Mountain.

The Shu River runs across the city of Yangzhou. Merchant ships come and go on the river, and large-scale painting boats float leisurely. The sparkling water expresses feelings, adding vitality to the city.

And the towering Heshan Mountain has become the natural background of Yangzhou, because it is surrounded by clouds and mists all the year round, it looks full of immortality.With rich imagination, people have fabricated many legends about Heshan.The most widely circulated version is that in the early years of Heshan, there was a guardian crane sent by the gods in the sky to sit in the town. A nearby villager once entered the mountain. By chance, he saw the figure of the crane and was blessed by the gods. It was talked about and passed on by word of mouth.Later, people called this mountain Heshan.

Now Heshan stands there quietly, embracing the entire Yangzhou city.The real Shanshuizhou City.

Liu Yong once expressed emotion in his poem: "The city is full of pearls, the households are full of Luo Qi, and they compete for luxury." Now Su Yan is also deeply moved when he sees such a scene.

It's no wonder that this kind of water and soil can breed a genius like Lu Xianzhi.

They came to a quaint and quiet small courtyard. The three-entry courtyard was not too big, but it was exquisite and lovely with all internal organs.It's not too close or far from the examination room of the college entrance examination. It only takes a quarter of an hour's carriage to arrive.

Su Yan secretly admired Uncle Zhou's professionalism in his heart. In modern times, Uncle Zhou was an excellent special assistant for a large listed company, and he was definitely the kind whose company president was very satisfied. Faster than that.

After settling down, Su Yan urged his father and elder brother to have dinner at the restaurant, and couldn't wait to try the delicious dishes of Yangzhou.

The author has something to say: Gong has finally appeared!Hey hey hey!

Here is a description of the settings (warning: this is a private setting of a stupid author!):
