Take the imperial examinations with the red envelopes of the writers

At the end of a feast, the students of Yunshan Academy talked a lot, and they all imagined that one day they would be able to win the gold medals like their predecessors, ride horses and parade through the streets, rise to the top and be proud of life.

Until the carriage back to Qinglu Academy, everyone was still feeling emotional.

Zhou Yunwen found that Su Yan was a little distracted, and looked at him with a little worry.

"I want to win the first prize too!!" Su Yan raised his head, his eyes sparkling, and he whispered to Zhou Yunwen.

Zhou Yunwen simply thought that his junior brother was very envious after watching the horse-racing parade of the Xinke Scholars, and was a little stimulated.

This time is of course to encourage the younger brother!He nodded, looked at Su Yan with a look of relief and said sincerely: "No problem! You will definitely be able to do it! At that time, Brother Yan will be the same as Senior Lu—the number one scholar in the Six Yuan World!"

Zhou Yunwen didn't say anything against his will. Since he was a child, he felt that his younger brother was talented and intelligent. Later, he found that Su Yan's position in Shangshe was still stable in Yunshan Academy where talented people were like a crucian carp crossing the river.

And the younger junior is not only smart, but also quick and eager to learn. Zhou Yunwen is very optimistic that Su Yan will shine in the Chunwei and palace examinations three years later, and he must be the number one scholar.

"At that time, there will definitely be more girls throwing hydrangea at me!" Su Yan whispered in his heart thinking of Lu Xianzhi's popularity.

When he grows up, he will definitely be like a beautiful tree, with an appearance like Pan'an, no less handsome than Xianzhi's brother!

Su Yan and his party returned to Qinglu Academy that night.

The students of Yunshan Academy continued to study and live in Qinglu Academy until the end of June, and then returned to Yunshan Academy under the reluctant retention of new friends.

Before returning to Yunshan Academy, Su Yan received another letter from Lu Xianzhi.After Lu Xianzhi confessed himself in the letter, he entered the Imperial Academy and was awarded the Sixth Grade Imperial Academy Compilation. Then he wrote about his daily life in the capital in a plain tone.

Su Yan also wrote back a letter to him, talking about his study and experience in Qinglu Academy, his recent reading experience and so on.Neither of them said a word about the day they played horses and paraded through the streets.

After returning to Yunshan Academy, Su Yan asked Ji Shi to bring back three thick calendars from Songzhuzhai for the next three years, tearing off a piece of paper every day that passed.

Su Yan drew a large circle with a red pen on the approximate date of the provincial examination, and began to prepare for the local examination review in a targeted manner.Zhou Yunwen admired it very much after seeing it, while Song Zixiu and Xie Linfeng were shocked, trembling under the halo of the god of learning.

Time seems to pass by, all of a sudden.

The days in Yunshan Academy were pure and fulfilling, and three years passed by in a flash.Su Yan and Lu Xianzhi never saw each other again, but the wooden boxes in his desk drawer were full of letters one after another.

The red envelope group system seemed to be dormant, and Su Yan's side missions also collected [-] books, but still did not trigger any surprise red envelopes.If it weren't for Su Yan who had questions from time to time and needed to ask the bigwigs in the red envelope group for advice, he would have almost forgotten that he still had such a golden finger.

Su Yan and Zhou Yunwen had just arrived at the pier and got off the boat. They returned to Jiangling Mansion to take part in the township examination.

The housekeeper, Uncle Zhou, returned to Yangzhou Mansion early and prepared all the logistical work in advance for Su Yan's rural examination.This time in Yangzhou, they still lived in the quiet courtyard that they had during the college entrance examination.The difference is that the two teenagers have grown up, and they are tall and handsome.

Su Yan even made a special trip to the Wenshen Temple in Heshan before the provincial examination.The Wenshen Temple is still surrounded by green trees, and the towering ancient cypresses in the courtyard are tall and straight, and there are no traces left by the years.

In the clear sunlight, Su Yan climbed to the top of the mountain along the overgrown path, and went around the old Taoist temple, where he and Lu Xianzhi met for the second time.

Of course, now that Lu Xianzhi is far away in the capital, it is impossible to appear here like before.Su Yan withdrew from the memories, lowered his head and smiled slightly.The cool breeze seemed to be attracted by his handsome face, gently blowing and gently kissing his cheek.

Su Yan stayed on the top of the mountain for a while, looking into the distance, admiring the picturesque scenery of Yangzhou City for a moment, and then went down the mountain briskly.

Three days later, the township examination in Jiangling Mansion kicked off.

At Maoshi, the morning mist was light, the sky was white, and the Venus flickered slightly in the distant sky.

When Su Yan and Zhou Yunwen arrived at the gate of Jiangling Mansion Gongyuan, they looked at each other and smiled, and they both remembered the courtyard examination back then.

At this time, the long-eared test basket in Su Yan's hand was also improved into a small wooden box with wheels.This small wooden box is larger and can hold more. You don't have to carry it yourself, you just need to pull it away, which is much more convenient.

They entered the gate of the Tribute Academy, and the officials began a routine inspection of the candidates.

However, the inspecting official looked at Su Yan's examination and citation documents, and knew that he was a former junior Sanyuan, so his attitude was very polite.He didn't bother him too much, but carefully checked the examination equipment, food, etc. in Su Yan's test basket, and then told him the approximate location of the number room, and asked Su Yan to go find his number room.

Su Yan found the place, and heaved a sigh of relief when he walked to the narrow room where he was going to stay for the past three days.

Now that he has grown taller and slender, he is no longer able to stretch his body in the numbered room as he did in the courtyard test.

He cleaned up briefly, set up wooden boards, hung up horn curtains, and sprinkled powder to repel mosquito bites on the corners and walls of the number room.

Su Yan took out the things in the test basket one by one and put them away, then he sat quietly on the wooden chair and closed his eyes to rest.He could hear the noisy sound of candidates entering the arena one after another, but his heart was still very peaceful, without waves or disturbances.

At this moment, Su Yan heard the long-lost red envelope system prompt:

【Ding!Congratulations to the group leader for triggering the regular task and getting the first place in the township examination, Xie Yuan! 】

Oh, you also know that there is a release task!Su Yan clicked his tongue softly in his heart.

[Although I am silent, this system has always been with the group leader! 】

OK.

At this time, the literary giants in the group also sent their blessings before the exam:

Su Shi: Finally!arrive!Qiu Wei!

Su Shi: Rubbing hands excitedly.jpg

Su Yan: Hold down the restless you.jpg

Su Shi: Hurry up, Qiu Wei!

Su Shi: Let's watch Yan Ge'er's imperial examination for the champion!

Su Shi: So what Lu Xianzhi three years ago, Liuyuan world, our brother Yan can do it too!

Su Yan: Akimbo swelling.jpg

Li Bai: It's just Qiu Wei, it's nothing to Yan Ge'er!

Li Bai: I hope that the wine at the Lu Ming Banquet will be delicious!Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Su Yan: It should be pretty good!At that time, I will send you a red envelope!

Du Fu: Brother Yan answered the question well, your level is enough to handle Qiu Wei.

Cao Zhi: Good luck.

Zhu Xi: Look carefully at the question, solving the question is the most important thing, don't rush to write, first...

Su Yan looked at the long exam notes sent by the big brother Zhu Xi, which took up the entire screen, and suddenly felt like being instructed by the dean.Su Yan thanked him in the group and looked carefully.

When the loud gong sounded to indicate that the exam was about to start, Su Yan noticed that there was a junior examinee younger than himself sitting in the opposite room.

The child noticed Su Yan's gaze, and also raised his head. Facing Su Yan's exquisite face with crescent-like eyebrows and scissored eyes, he felt the graceful demeanor of Xia Ziyue on him, and his ears turned red quietly.

Su Yan just casually glanced at the "neighbor" across the way, but didn't notice any strangeness in him later, he just sighed a little in his heart, sure enough, there are talented people from Jiangling generation.

Then he heard a steady and powerful male voice say: "Tianle 46 years! Jiangling Prefecture Township Examination! Exam starts!"

At present, the clerks quickly handed out the draft paper and answer sheets, and some guards walked around the narrow alleys between the examination rooms holding question cards.

The township examination is also called Qiuwei, and there are three examinations in total.The scholars who passed the exam are called Juren, and all those who take the intermediate exam have the opportunity to participate in the general exam held in the capital in the spring of the following year, which is commonly known as Chunwei.

Su Yan carefully looked at the questions of the first round of the township examination: three questions and four books, four questions and five classics, plus a five-character eight-rhyme poem.

This time the chief examiner sent to preside over the Jiangling Prefecture Examination is a highly respected Master Xu from the Hanlin Academy.In the letter, Lu Xianzhi mentioned the style of writing that Mr. Xu likes: he doesn't like carving and flashy writing, and he likes the ancient prose style that is easy and natural, and the writing is clear.

Su Yan looked at the questions. Sure enough, in the first exam, Mr. Xu didn't ask any off-the-cuff questions to test the candidates' ability to diverge their thinking and adapt to changes. Classical foundation.

Three Dao and Four Book titles come from "University", "Doctrine of the Mean" and "Analects" respectively.Su Yan wrote down the questions, concentrated his attention, and started to solve the questions.

After so many years of reading and essay training, Su Yan has long been able to solve problems quickly and accurately, and his intentions are better than others.

At this time, there are not many ideas in his mind about solving this problem, and he can continue to write a wonderful article if he picks out any one.What worries him now is which idea to use to solve the problem and write it down.

Oh, sure enough, being talented is also a kind of trouble.

For each of the three township examinations, one had to stay in the Gongyuan for three days and two nights.Su Yan still intends to follow what he did during the college entrance examination back then, and take advantage of the first day when he is most energetic and clear-headed to quickly write the drafts of all the questions, and then slowly revise them as appropriate in the next two days.

Su Yan quickly finished the drafts of three essays, and it was already noon when he stopped writing.

He took out the cocking stove, called the servants to light the fire, boiled the water, put fresh mint leaves and rock sugar in the tea, and made himself a refreshing cup of rock sugar mint tea.

With tea on the side, he finished the egg cake for lunch.

After Su Yan finished his meal, he closed his eyes and selected the Five Classics questions in his head.Entrusting the system with the previous task of "concurrently governing the Five Classics", he can now choose the topic he thinks is the best to write as the answer for the five classics according to the topics given.

He finally decided to choose "Spring and Autumn" as the scripture for this exam.

After that, Su Yan rested on the table again.Maybe it was because he was in a good mood, but he fell asleep quickly lying on the wooden planks of this narrow numbered room. When he woke up dimly, he felt refreshed, and took the opportunity to write down the thoughts of the five scriptures on the draft paper.

When he ate noodles at night, a familiar aroma wafted around him.

When Su Yan returned to Yangzhou this time, he heard the housekeeper Zhou Shu talking about the changes in the exam with a smile.Since the overbearing aroma of noodles he ate during the imperial examination shocked other examinees in the Gongyuan, the major restaurants in Yangzhou have also kept pace with the times and introduced various foods suitable for candidates during the imperial examination. Delicious and easy to store noodles and various sauces.

It seems that I have inadvertently improved the difficult exam life of the candidates in the David Dynasty.Su Yan smiled and put the noodles into hot water to boil, then took them out and put them in a bowl sprinkled with various seasonings, and had noodles for dinner tonight.

After dinner, Su Yan lit a candle and thought carefully about the last five-character and eight-character poem in the exam.

The dim candlelight was flickering, and the gentle firelight shone on his delicate and beautiful face, and some golden firelight danced on his slender eyelashes like crow feathers.

Look at a gentleman under the moon, and look at a beautiful woman under the lamp.

The cool and watery moonlight shone on the Gong Yuan in Jiangling Mansion, and warm candles were burning in the rooms of the Gong Yuan.The moonlight intertwined with the lights, leaving deep and shallow magnificent shadows on Su Yan's face.

The young examinee opposite was tired of answering and writing. He raised his head and rubbed his eyes. He was just looking around casually, but unexpectedly, he caught a glimpse of the scene in the opposite room. He was attracted by the beautiful scenery for a moment. Eyes straightened.

The young examinee stared at Su Yan with burning eyes, and thought in his heart, my God, the pretty big brother across from my room is so pretty too!I have never seen a man with a more handsome appearance than him, and even my cousin who is known as the Pearl of Yangzhou is not as good as the young man opposite.

However, his long scrutiny did not attract the attention of Su Yan, who was in deep thought. On the contrary, the official who was standing aside conscientiously noticed that something was wrong with the candidate.

Good guy, you dare to peek at other candidates' answers in front of me.The official hurriedly walked over with a sullen face, staring suspiciously at the test paper of the young student.

Seeing the official messenger coming, the young student realized that something was wrong, hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and stared down at his draft paper with a flushed face.

When he came back to his senses, he was about to cry, so he glanced at the handsome big brother opposite, and his thoughts on the article just now were all gone!Sure enough, it's so sexy!
