Chapter 74 County Exam (3)

"Yunsheng, Brother Yu wants to toast you this glass of wine. If you hadn't asked me to recite those articles, how could it be so easy today?" After the old Dong gave the wine and food, Wang Qinian poured a full glass of wine, with a bit of temptation in his words.

"Haha, I didn't know that it would be such a coincidence." Chang Jin was prepared for this and said he was lucky. He never thought he could guess it. Then he gave Wang Qinian another piece of advice, so that he would not know about it from others.

Wang Qinian naturally knew that if the two people guessed the high school entrance examination questions, it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble, especially those students who failed the county exam.

They have heard of the county trial and the list. Because there are many students who are so shameless at this time.

The two of them drank a few more glasses of wine, and they saw that it was getting late, so they separated.

In the next few days, many students saw the list announced by the county, and then went to participate in the first resumption and then resumed.

However, Chang Jin saved a lot of trouble. He only studied and practiced swords at home every day, waiting for the meeting to come, which means the entrance exam will come.

This interview is extremely simple. In fact, after the first three exams, the county magistrate has already set the ranking. Now that the interview is conducted, I just want to see if there are any candidates who are just a subtitle among the admitted candidates.

As long as you have a little bit of knowledge in your belly, it is impossible to be eliminated at this level.

Therefore, for candidates, this level is very easy.

Tongqu County is originally a big county. Nearly 100 children selected for the county examination this time, which is much higher than other county. However, thinking about the base of nearly 1,000 people before, it is nothing, it is just a ratio of one of ten.

As the most eye-catching person before the county examination, Song Jiechuan naturally led the way. As for Chang Jin and Wang Qinian, they followed the crowd and entered the county yamen.

The clerk brought them all the way into the back garden. Although the winter was just over, there were already a few traces of green and tender green in the county yamen. Looking at the distance, the grass in the distance was green. But as I walked along the way, I still saw that it was withered and yellow.

However, the few weeping willows by the pond sprouted tender buds, giving people a pleasing feeling.

There are more than a dozen long tables placed around the pavilion, with pen, ink, paper and ink on it.

The clerk led them to the desk, bowed and said, "Wait for a moment, I'll go and invite the county master to come."

After a moment, he saw Magistrate Zhao walking towards him in his official uniform.

After everyone gave their mentor's courtesy, Zhao Shouren cleared his throat and said loudly: "All students are all dragons and phoenixes. In the future, they will definitely become pillars of my great swallows and add color to my Confucianism.

Today I won’t talk nonsense. The interview is very simple. You just need to write a poem in an incense stick of incense based on the spring sunshine in this courtyard.”

In order to give everyone a relaxed creative environment, Zhao County Magistrate left the backyard after he finished speaking.

Writing poetry... Many candidates were stunned when they heard this, and then suddenly realized it. The interview was just a formality. It seemed that the county master was unwilling to waste too much time asking the candidates one by one.

Especially the county magistrate just said that the theme of spring in the courtyard was not specified, so that everyone can display their "talent" with full play.

It is naturally difficult for Chang Jin to write a poem with the title of spring. He thought for a moment and a famous poem that was widely circulated on the ancient earth appeared in his mind.

Speaking of which, although there are Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in this world, the dynasties are very different from those on the earth. There are no Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, let alone Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

Therefore, Chang Jin was able to learn from poetry and lyrics with ease. He had the goods in his heart, so he didn't have to worry and leisurely look at the scenery in the courtyard.

However, before he was delayed from going to the case, Wang Qinian became anxious and quietly came over and whispered: "Does Yunsheng have no idea? I just thought about two songs, and I will read one for you?"

"Haha, Brother Qingyuan, I have already thought about it, so you can rest assured." Chang Jin slapped his shoulders and saw that there was no one in front of one of the desks. He immediately walked over and picked up his pen to write.

"Ode to Willow" makes a tall jade tree, with thousands of green silk ribbons hanging down. I don't know who cuts out the thin leaves, but the spring breeze in February is like scissors.

After writing, Chang Jin put down his brush and smiled at Wang Qinian, "Brother Qingyuan, how do you think I wrote?"

"Good poems, good poems!" After Wang Qinian read them, he immediately praised them.

His voice didn't matter, and he attracted the students around him, all wanting to see what poems Chang Jin wrote.

Of course, there are also people who disdain, that is Song Jiechuan. He snorted coldly, just thinking that the two of them were sensational and wanted to take the opportunity to attract the attention of Zhao County Magistrate.

"Yunsheng's poem "Ode to Liu" is indeed very wonderful, especially the word "cut" is really useful." Another familiar student praised after reading it.

When this poem was read out loud, there was a lot of discussion in the courtyard for a while.

County Magistrate Zhao sat upright in the hall. When he heard the backyard was messy, he couldn't help but frown and reached out to call the clerk: "Go and ask what's going on, why is it so noisy outside?"

The clerk hurried out and returned after a moment of touching a page of paper. He reported with a little excitement: "Congratulations to the county master and congratulations to the county master. One of the students was named Chang Jin and Chang Yunsheng. He wrote a song "Ode to the Willow", which attracted everyone's praise."

"Oh, where is the poem?" Zhao Shouren also showed a hint of joy on his face. Since ancient times, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. When literati are inferior to each other, they can be praised by everyone. This poem must have been done quite well. If it can be widely circulated, it will be a good story in Tongqu County.

"Sir, please read it." The clerk hurriedly presented the manuscript to the poem.

"The jade is made up into a tree..." Zhao Shouren finished reading in a tone of ups and downs, and was shocked. Although Shi Wen, who had seen him before, felt that his talent was beyond ordinary people, he was just a middle-class person. He never thought that Chang Jin was extremely brave and his literary spirit was so great.

This poem is fresh and refined, and it makes people unable to forget it after reading it for a long time. It can definitely be called a good article and can be passed down through the ages.

The current writings of Chang Jin and Song Jiechuan have their own merits, and they can be said to be indifferent.

However, there was someone behind Song Jiechuan. He had already secretly pointed this person as the head of the case, but as soon as this poem was published, Zhao Shouren hesitated.

After thinking about it over and over again, Zhao Shouren finally made up his mind.

Soon a stick of incense burned, and the candidates handed in the papers one after another.

There are Chang Jin's poems and essays in front of them, and Zhao Shouren, the poems written by these students, have been read out in a hurry, and the rhymes are smooth, and there is no too much difficulty at all.

Then, the Magistrate Zhao held a banquet in the county government office to entertain all candidates.

Not mentioning it during the meal, when they parted after drinking, Zhao Shouren deliberately left Chang Jin until the end and gave a few words of advice.

***

In the blink of an eye, Xiaobai has arrived for more than a month. The little guy's original gray-white fur is getting brighter day by day. Especially the luck above his head, he is now three-point red, and it shows that he is a monster that comes into being.

But this guy is as naughty as ever and very likable.

Today's county trial results were released. Wang Qinian came to the door early in the morning. He never thought that Chang Jin was holding a meat bone in his hand and was having fun with Xiaobai in the corner of the yard, looking happy and contented.

The little guy whined and jumped around Chang Jin, very fiercely.

Wang Qinian didn't know the origin of the White Tiger, so he just thought it was an unknown big cat, so he didn't care.

"Yunsheng, I really admire you. The county test list is about to be posted. You still have the leisure to attract cats and dogs here. Hurry up and follow Brother Yu to check the list! I'm late, I guess there is no place to stop."

Chang Jin put down his flesh and bones, smiled and slapped Xiaobai's head, and said, "What's the good thing about it? Zhong is Zhong. If you don't, what can you change even if you go early?"

I did my best to do this exam and would accept it calmly no matter what the result was.

"You, you..." Wang Qinian shook his head, pulled Chang Jin and was about to walk out. As soon as he took two steps, he saw Xiao Song running in like crazy, and shouted while running: "Young Master, Young Master Chang, you all passed the exam..."

"Really? Have you ever seen it right?!" Wang Qinian was much more excited than Chang Jin's plain reaction. He grabbed Xiao Song and asked anxiously.

Although it was expected that he would pass the county examination, he was still very excited when he heard the news of the announcement.

"Xiaosong, my brother really passed the exam?!" At this time, Xiaoxiao and Xing Suer also received news and rushed over.

"Absolutely, Komatsu doesn't know much about literacy, but the young master's name will not be mistaken. There is also Mr. Chang. I specifically asked the scholars who read the list, Mr. Chang's name is also on it. You are all within the third class..."

In addition to the top, the county examination list is divided into 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Among them, only candidates with third grades are eligible to take the provincial examination.

Chang Jin and Wang Qinian had just added a reply, so they naturally passed the county examination.
