[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

Wang Yue's life in the princess mansion is getting better and better, but as the year approaches, even if Princess Shuxian and his wife are quiet and do not like to socialize with others, they have to start spending most of their time on socializing.

In this way, Lin Qing spent much less time teaching Wang Yue. After thinking about it, Lin Qing simply gave Wang Yue a vacation, and directly opened a book list for him, and made a long list of books. Tell him to take it home to read, and assign various homework, not only to do a painting every day, but also to write a policy theory and an article in the Five Classics.

Regarding Wang Yue's weakest poems, Lin Qing also explained otherwise. Don't rush to write poems first, and memorize the collection of poems first before making other plans. Therefore, the collection of poems alone accounts for a quarter of the books that need to be read during the Chinese New Year. .

In this way, although the level of poetry writing is not top-notch, it can be regarded as reaching the level of ordinary people. Probably Lin Qing also feels speechless about the level of his little apprentice's poetry. After thinking about it, he can only use such a Stupid way.

After Wang Yue knew Lin Qing's plan, she rushed to bring a lot of souvenirs from home on the day of the holiday. They were not expensive things, but they were novelty, and it was her own heart. It was also a gift to the teacher and wife It's an early age.

After coming out of the Princess Mansion, Wang Yue went to the Imperial College again, because in February of the next year, the Spring Examination will be held, and the Imperial College has given all the students who passed the exam a holiday, so they don't need to come to the Imperial College to study again.

However, despite the holiday, the dormitories in the school are still reserved, so there are many people staying.

Many students from other places are willing to stay in Guozijian. It is not easy to live in the capital. They only have to wait until the end of the examination for basic necessities, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. One's own food and drink, no matter how frugal they are, two or three hundred taels of silver is indispensable.

Two 30 taels of silver is enough for a well-off family to spend for a year, and two 300 taels of silver is almost bankrupt for those students from poor backgrounds.

But if you stay in Guozijian, first of all, the dormitory of Guozijian is free, and you can save hundreds of taels of silver just by renting a house.

What's more, let's not talk about whether the rented house is good or not, but with their financial resources, they definitely can't rent a single-family yard. They must rent it with others. big impact.

Moreover, no one can guarantee the surrounding environment of the rented house.

In this regard, Guozijian can naturally be called a very comfortable residence.

Moreover, in the Guozijian, the school will provide them with three meals a day free of charge. Although it is not considered delicacies, it is enough to satisfy their hunger, and the school will be open to the public to ensure that they have enough places to study. In addition, there are teachers who can Ask for advice, there are classmates who can discuss, it can be said to be a good place to study.

So few people would be willing to leave the Imperial College.But for Wang Yue, these conditions are naturally not attractive, and he is still willing to go home and live.

Moreover, he does not intend to take the examination this time. First of all, he is still too young. Even if he passes the examination, it will be difficult for him to be awarded a good official position. Of course, for Tu Hui and Lin Qing behind him, for him It is not difficult to choose a good official position, but it is inevitable that people will lose their tongues. It is better not to rely on external force for the first step when he first steps into the officialdom.

It's just that there are so many people who come to the Imperial College to inquire whether he will participate in the examination, and there are always people who intentionally or unintentionally reveal that they have connections, which is really annoying, and staying here is just causing trouble.

Therefore, Wang Yue came back this time to pack up his things and prepare to go home for the New Year, but he didn't want to see Tu Hui who hadn't shown up for a long time as soon as he stepped into the door of the dormitory.

"Why are you here?" Although they haven't seen each other for two months, the relationship between the two has not been alienated. Instead, they have become more enthusiastic because they haven't seen each other for a long time.

"This is not a place for you alone, why can't I come?" Tu Hui retorted with a smile, then stood up, raised his hands to Wang Yue and said, "I came this time to thank you."

Wang Yue hurriedly dodged to avoid his thank you gift, and asked curiously: "Well, why did you thank me suddenly? But what's the matter?"

"Thank you for your suggestion. I have already sent someone to stop the lame Taoist and the monk. As you said, they have been wandering in the mountains and forests all year round, and they have hidden a lot of good medicine in their hands. The old mountain ginseng with thick arms has already Polygonum multiflorum in human form, snow lotus from Tianshan Mountain, and Cordyceps sinensis are much better quality than those in the national treasury. The imperial physicians in the palace have these medicines and have prepared many good medicines. The emperor's grandfather's illness has stabilized a lot , this proposal was made by you, don't you want to thank you this time?"

Hearing this, Wang Yue was also happy for Tu Hui, he laughed twice, he did not refuse Tu Hui's thank you, but accepted it frankly: "Indeed, you should thank me, but what kind of thank you have you prepared? If it's not good, I'll turn my face!"

"The things I sell are naturally good, and this time it's not just me, my father, mother and grandmother have something to reward you, little money fan, you can make a fortune this time!"

Wang Yue cooperated with showing the appearance of a money fan, reached out to look through the things on the table, and said in his mouth as he turned over: "Then I have to see to be sure."

Opening the cloth draped outside, revealing the contents, Wang Yue carefully looked at it, and then secretly gasped, it really was a good thing.

It is no longer an item specially produced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for special rewards, but a more exquisite and valuable item. It seems that because of this incident, his status in the family's heart has improved a lot, and the corner of Wang Yue's mouth curled up. Come on, it's not bad.

"Still satisfied?"

"Of course I'm satisfied." Wang Yue sat down with a smile, and poured a cup of tea for himself and Tu Hui. He stretched out his hand to test the temperature, and it was just right. Consider getting.

"That's good," Tu Hui also laughed, "Actually, you called me Grandpa when I asked me to reward you with something. Isn't it right to do me a favor?"

"You man, why are you so stingy, it hurts your heart a lot!"

Wang Yue angrily grabbed a handful of melon seeds and threw them on him, sneered and said, "See if I will help you in the future!"

"Well, it's my fault again, it's still not enough!" Tu Hui hurriedly admitted his mistake, and the two laughed and quarreled for a few more words, then they calmed down, and Tu Hui asked, "Will you participate in next year's test?"

Wang Yue shook his head and said: "It's not that you don't know, why are you asking? I said I wouldn't go. The test has always been Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I'm not sure if I can pass it? It's not that you don't know There are rumors outside, there are some black-hearted people who insist that the little Sanyuan in front of me and the Jieyuan are obtained by you, tell me, aren’t the people who say this brainless, but there are still people who believe it?”

"Don't pay attention to them, it's nothing more than jealousy, and they will speak ill of people behind their backs!" Tu Hui saw Wang Yue's expression was not good, so he quickly comforted him, and then said: "With your ability, you can definitely pass , a 15-year-old Jinshi, although not unprecedented, is extremely rare, are you not tempted?"

"The 15-year-old Jinshi or Sanyuan Jidi is more rare?"

Wang Yue's nonchalant rhetorical question made Tu Hui's words of persuasion suddenly speechless. He paused for a while before saying, "You do have ambitions, but I'm afraid you have to take the exam next year?"

"Why? I haven't applied yet? Besides, I'm going to retake the exam in a few days, and I haven't reviewed it yet?"

Wang Yue was afraid that someone would come up with a moth again, forcing him to take the exam ahead of time, so he was busy looking for reasons for himself.

The imperial court stipulated that a re-examination must be conducted in the capital before taking part in the general examination. Only those who pass the re-examination can participate in the general examination.

The re-examination results are very important, but those who are light are not allowed to participate in the general examination, and those who are serious will deprive Juren of their fame, which can be said to be as important as the general examination.

Before the re-examination, the registration time was much earlier. These few days were the deadline for registration. If Wang Yue wanted to participate in the general examination, he had to register in these few days.

It's just that Wang Yue didn't have this plan before, and many things haven't been prepared yet, so I'm afraid there will be no good results.

"If I fail the ranking, those people outside won't laugh at me? I won't go!"

Wang Yue resolutely refused to go, but Tu Hui ignored his excuses, "I don't know your skills yet, it's just a re-examination, and Mr. Gao said long ago that you are ready to take the exam. It must be within the top two."

"That's not necessarily true. Who knows if there will be some dark horses. If I become a fellow Jinshi, then I will be in a big loss. You haven't heard of Tong Jinshi, Mrs. Ru, it's so ugly!"

Tu Hui curled his lips, he was really too lazy to entangle with him any more, so he directly used his big move: "Grandpa Huang asked you to take part in the examination before next spring!"

"Why?"

Tu Hui shook his head. To be honest, he didn't know why Grandpa Huang made this decision. Although he regarded Wang Yue as his best friend, he didn't think Wang Yue would bring any change to the whole plan.

"Then..." Wang Yue pondered for a moment, sighed, and said, "Forget it, I'll sign up tomorrow! Your family, it's really..."
