In the early morning, a round of orange-red sunlight rises from the horizon, casting a layer of glow on the earth shrouded in darkness.In the Heqi Courtyard, the maids, big and small, were doing their work carefully without making a sound.

Xiao Rui got up very early today, and after being served by Zi Yun and the others to wash up, he chose a bright blue shirt.Today is the day to go to Luding Academy.There was a word from the main courtyard that his father would lead him to the academy after the early morning, so that he didn't have to go everywhere to pay his respects, and get ready first.

The original owner was taught by his grandfather Gu Gelao when he was young, and he and his mother began to recognize characters when they were four or five years old.When I was seven years old, I was picked up by my grandfather to study. After I recognized the characters, I began to read "Book of Filial Piety", "University", and "The Doctrine of the Mean". I went there every morning and returned at night.Although he didn't need to take scientific examinations at that time, he was smart since he was a child, and he was very fond of Gu Ge.So I learned a lot intermittently.

But ever since Mr. Gu Ge left Beijing to retire and returned to the south, he didn't learn much.If you want to take the scientific examination at this time, you have to review it from the beginning.

Luding Academy, in Academician Zhou's study, Xiao Mingjue brought Xiao Rui to the Luding Academy after the morning court.

I saw that the study room is not big. There are two sets of lacquered maroon tables and chairs, one on the left, one on the left. There is a large pear marble case in the middle, on which there is a square of precious inkstone and various pen holders, and there are unfinished large characters on the case. In the middle of the west wall is a large rice Xiangyang "Picture of Misty Rain". The pair of couplets is written in Yan Lugong's ink, and its words go: Yanxia leisurely bones, spring and stone wild life.

Xiao Rui didn't dare to look around carefully, but raised his eyes for a quick glance, and stood upright behind his father. Zhou Qingyun was talking with his father, and the two exchanged pleasantries for a while before getting down to business.

"This is Brother Xiao's son?" Zhou Qingyun stared at Xiao Rui seriously. He was not yet 50 years old. Wearing a light blue robe with wide sleeves, he looks very elegant.

"Yes, this is my ineffective son Xiao Rui, who was taught by my old father-in-law." Xiao Mingjue nodded and asked Xiao Rui to salute Zhou Qingyun. Xiao Rui saluted Zhou Qingyun respectfully.

Zhou Qingyun nodded when he heard it. He could trust his teacher's knowledge. After asking Xiao Rui about the books he had studied, and seeing Xiao Rui's elegant and upright appearance, he was even more happy, his eyes lit up, and said: "It seems that the teacher has someone to succeed him." Ah! But you have to take the scientific examination. Although the academy recommends you, you can directly pass the college examination and pass the Tongsheng directly, but you have to understand that natural intelligence is important, but it does not allow you to easily pass the imperial examinations. You can't pass the exam just by being smart, you need to work hard, and you have to work very hard." Xiao Rui nodded respectfully: "Student Union."

Zhou Qingyun turned around and went to the bookcase, and took out four books, "University", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects of Confucius", and "Mencius".He handed it to Xiao Rui: "You read it first, and you can ask me directly if you don't understand anything. You can go to class B first, and you can enter class A when you make progress."

This is the beginning. If you want to take a scientific examination, you must study "Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Book of Changes", "Book of Rites", and "Zuo Zhuan", which are often called the Four Books and Five Classics.

In a blink of an eye, a year passed, Xiao Rui was 15 years old, and his body also recovered after this year of recuperation. 4025 Meimei's boasting of herself is also due to me. Without me, how could the master recover so quickly!

Xiao Rui also finished studying "University", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects of Confucius", and "Mencius" in this year, and began to study the Book of Songs and the Book of Rites. His learning speed made Academician Zhou tear off several beards in joy. After questioning him again and again, he thought that he could give it a try. The third day of August this year is the day of the hospital examination.It's still a few days away.Xiao Rui is ready.

In this year, not only Xiao Rui has made progress, Gu Wanru in the Hou Mansion has been well-managed after the last lesson, and the last time she was furious, she made all the servants obey, the old lady She is happy to ignore the matter, she is living in Ci'an Hall for the elderly, Xiao Jingfang is seventeen years old, if Gu Wanru didn't want to keep her for one more year, everyone at the same age as her would have already married, and now the marriage with the eldest son of Lin'an Palace should also be on the agenda, Xiao Jingfang was being restrained by her mother every day to learn how to manage the house.And Xiao Jingyi stayed quietly in the yard except to ask for peace. However, 4025 told Xiao Rui recently that Xiao Jingyi had some movements.It is also because Xiao Jingfang's engagement is getting closer and closer, can she sit still?

The first college exam was of great significance to Xiao Rui. Although the exam was easy for him, it was the first step in his career. Xiao Mingjue had already told Gu Wanru that he wanted the college exam and asked her to keep quiet. It's just that it was arranged by Mr. Gu Ge, so the old lady and Xiao Jingyi didn't know that Xiao Rui was going to be an official.

On this day, the weather was sunny and sunny. If you want to talk about what you are most afraid of in the exam, you are most afraid of too cold weather and too hot weather. However, on the third day of August, the weather became neither cold nor hot, which made all the students who took the college exam With a little happiness, if the location is good, it is really like a godsend.

The chief examiner this time is Xuezheng, who is served by Liang Tianchen, the servant of the Ministry of Rites.It is rumored that this senior academician was born as a Jinshi in two rankings.

Very upright personality.Academician Zhou told Xiao Rui that it is certain that his knowledge can pass, but sometimes the examination papers have to match the taste of the chief examiner.

From Maoshi, Xiao Rui came to the examination shed with poems and books. This time, he told his father and mother when he came out, and Zi Ling helped pack the examination things.Now awaiting inspection for admission.Xiao Rui was recommended by the academy, and he directly participated in the college examination. At this time, in addition to references from disciples from aristocratic families like Xiao Rui, there were also many disciples from peasant families who passed the examinations, passed the county examination and the government examination, and became children. To take the exam.

The inspection this time was extremely strict, and a body search was required to prevent entrainment.Even the food boxes have been tossing for a long time. After paying homage to the statue of Confucius and listening to Xuezheng's speech, everyone came to their room.

The college exam is divided into two sessions, the first is the main exam, and the second is the second re-examination. This time you have to stay in the exam shed for three days before you can come out.

Sitting in the numbered room, Xiao Rui looked at the small place. How many people were looking forward to being nominated for the gold list. It was his first time to take part in the scientific examination. No, ask me!Xiao Rui ignored it, although he thought it was simple, but after writing these, he had to allocate his time reasonably, and the paper would be handed in at noon tomorrow.

Time passed quickly. In order not to be obvious, although Xiao Rui did it very easily, he would stop writing from time to time to show that he was thinking. In this way, he stopped writing and finished writing quickly. Xiao Rui relaxed After a while, I ate a lunch prepared by Siyu, one meat and one vegetarian, very delicate, the bottom was carefully covered with fine carbon for heat preservation, and the food was still warm at this time, compared with the pancakes next to me people, much happier.

After eating, Xiao Rui stood up and walked around, stretched his wrist, studied the ink carefully for a while, and started to write again.Soon after all the questions were answered, he took a break and started reviewing again, preparing to transcribe.It was getting dark, and I saw the person next to me with the oil lamp still writing earnestly, but Xiao Rui was really sleepy, he was looking for guilt, so he lay on the straw mat, amidst the sound of others writing, start to fall asleep.

What Xiao Rui didn't know was that when he was asleep, the examiner led a group of officials in official uniforms to walk past him slowly, saw him sleeping soundly, and was regarded as a rarity A few glances.The examiner also kept him in mind.

After a good night's sleep, Xiao Rui stretched lazily, took out the food box and took a delicious bite. He was very energetic. Compared with the person with dark circles under his eyes, he was really envied by a peasant student in the next number .

Xiao Rui looked at the time and started copying again. It was around noon when Xiao Rui finally finished all the papers.He checked carefully from the beginning to the end, and found that the number of papers was correct, the format was correct, and the words that should be taboo were avoided, so he felt relieved.At noon, the yamen servants began to collect the test papers, and the first session ended like this.

Soon, after lunch, the second exam papers began to be distributed.Three days passed in a flash, Xiao Rui had finished all the test papers, organized them neatly, and waited for the end of the test.These three days of exams allowed Xiao Rui to experience the cruelty of ancient scientific exams. When he was copying, he found that occasionally some candidates had heatstroke and were carried out by soldiers, or they couldn't answer the questions of the gray-haired old man who couldn't bear the pressure. Tong Sheng, it's no wonder that after an exam, many people fell seriously ill after appearing on the stage.

When queuing up and leaving the examination shed, even Xiao Rui felt exhausted. Mo Yu and Shishu were waiting outside the courtyard examination. As soon as Xiao Rui came out, they were helped by the two of them into the carriage with concern, and went straight home .

During the days of waiting for the results, Xiao Rui rested at home for two days, and then started the days of going to school in the morning and going home in the afternoon.Until the day when the list was released, Xiao Rui was called into the study by his nervous father, pacing back and forth.

"Father, the teacher said, I'm very sure, this is just the hospital exam!" Xiao Rui looked at his father dumbfounded.

"What do you know? This is the first person who passed the science test since our Xiao family changed from Wu to Wen. If you pass, our family will never be called a vulgar warrior. Alas, what a pity you Father, I am not material to study, I can only be granted such a title by the emperor's grace." Xiao Mingjue twitched his beard excitedly.

I don't know how long it took before I heard someone yelling outside, "My lord, you won, you won No.1!" Mo Yu ran back in a hurry, he went to see the list with Shishu and got the letter, I immediately ran back to announce the good news.There were only 180 scholars admitted in this college examination, and the top ten were Jiake.

"Okay, okay, pass it on, reward! Hurry up and inform the backyard, tell the old lady and the lady." Xiao Mingjue spun around happily, opened the door curtain, and went straight to the Ci hall. He wanted to talk to the ancestors , Our old Xiao family has also produced literati.

Hearing the news of the servants announcing the good news, she tore off all the prayer beads of the old lady in Ci'an Hall, "What did you say? My little grandson went to the courtyard for an exam? He won the first prize." The old lady's hair burst out of excitement. faint.Biyu hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

"That's right, old madam, the young master has won the first place." Biyu said happily.There were bursts of joy in the yard.

Gu Wanru hurriedly ran towards Ci'an Hall. "Mother, mother, my son is number one." Gu Wanru had tears in her eyes.

"Okay, okay, my Xiao family is blessed!" The old lady had the same heart disease as Xiao Mingjue. Although the Xiao family was favored, it was for the sake of the former empress.His family was born as a military general, and now the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful. The emperor doesn't like military generals to take over the military power. After the Xiao family handed over the military power, they turned martial arts into literature, but outside, they are still called martial arts.Otherwise, the old waiter couldn't make an engagement with Gu Ge's daughter.

At this time, Xiao Jingyi was serving in Ci'an Hall, when she heard the voice, she dropped everything in her hand in shock, how could it be possible?Why is it different?In her previous life, she never heard about Xiao Rui's scientific examination until she got married and died.God is too eccentric, how can this make her take revenge, no, the better they live, how peaceful it makes her, and the mother in the family temple.Xiao Jingyi's eyes were red with hatred, and she still had to hold back and stepped forward to bless her.

On that day, the Xiao family gave a big prize, and the outsiders gradually knew that Xiao Ruiyuan's test for the first name was worthy of being Gu Ge's grandson, and it was also said that the Xiao family had successors who were not under the shadow of their ancestors.There are also those who say that he is just a scholar, and people have heard that you can give it a try.For a time, the capital could be described as various voices.Even the emperor in the palace heard the wind and called Xiao Mingjue to question him.He couldn't help but be happy to know Xiao Rui's ambition.If Xiao Rui becomes an official, this is another available person.

The author has something to say: Ah!It’s so difficult. I originally wanted to skip the scientific examination, but after much deliberation, if I just write about the success of the scientific examination and then become an official, it doesn’t make sense. I will write this paragraph quickly and try to write as little as possible. I guess it will take two chapters .Little angels, don't abandon me!Thanks to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution~

Thanks to the little angel who cast [Mine]: 1 Song of Morning Xiao;
