Butler Xu left a bunch of things, then got on the carriage and left Zhong Liyu alone here.

Zhongliyu didn't cry or make a fuss, just as nothing happened, and after lunch, he urged Chu Xiaoyuan to take him to play.

"Well, Yu'er, did Grandpa Xu say when did you come to pick you up?" Chu Ci asked tentatively.

"Grandpa Xu said, I can play as long as I want. He asked someone to send something to him every three days, and when he wants to go back, he gets on the carriage. I have brought my clothes and toys and also my homework, Chu

Uncle, don’t worry." Zhong Liyu replied sensibly.

Chu Ci was amused and crying, but he also understood that it must be Zhong Liyu who was making a fuss at home. If it weren't for the fact that his family couldn't live in, Mr. Xu would probably have stayed here.

"Okay, you'll sleep with Uncle Chu at night."

"No! Uncle, I want to sleep with you too." Chu Xiaoyuan shouted. He had always slept with his grandmother, but now Zhongliyu wants to sleep with his uncle, so he also wants to sleep with his uncle!

"Xiaoyuan." Shen Xiuniang called softly and Chu Xiaoyuan immediately shut up.

Although he stopped, he was in a bad mood. When he took Zhongliyu out, his pace accelerated a lot, and he seemed not to want to wait for him.

Zhongliyu smiled foolishly and chased after him, not caring about Brother Xiaoyuan's coldness at all.

Chu Ci shook his head and returned to the room with a smile. He opened the package that Butler Xu gave him and found that there were several books and some gadgets. These books were Ancheng Fengwuzhi, Ancheng Travel Notes and Ancheng Joys.

It was Chu Ci who was very curious about what he said last time Ancheng, so Kou Jing gave him these books.

Chu Ci opened the scenery of Ancheng and slowly read it...

In the evening, with the women standing at the door, "Go home to have dinner", the children at the beginning and end of the village scattered, leaving only Chu Xiaoyuan and Zhongliyu in the middle.

They played muddy balls with other children today, and Chu Xiaoyuan finally discovered one of the advantages of Zhong Liyu, that is, his skillful mind and hand-tightness, the mud balls he rubbed were smooth and round, and would not break easily even when hit on the ground, so that Chu Xiaoyuan could not be easily defeated.

I won a lot when competing with others on the Niwan.

"Give these to you." Chu Xiaoyuan looked at a cloth bag of mud balls and counted half of them to Zhong Liyu.

"I don't want it. I'll leave it to you, Brother Xiaoyuan. Just play it for me when you want to play."

Well, Chu Xiaoyuan quickly took it back and decided to start treating Zhong Liyu as his younger brother, so he should be ranked behind Da Zhuang first.

...

Chu Ci made a daily plan for himself.

Get up at 5:30 in the morning and play the five animal show for about fifteen minutes to enhance your body in preparation for the devilish nine days in the August provincial examination.

After the Wuqin Show, wash for five minutes, sit quietly for ten minutes to calm down your mood and organize your thoughts.

Then start to use breakfast. When eating health care, it is important to chew slowly, and the time is set to be fifteen minutes.

After sitting quietly for a while, I started reading. In the morning, I read one of the four books and one of the collections written by the great scholars, deeply understand the connotation, and then draw out the big questions assigned by the Master to start answering.

After lunch, take a nap. Note that it is a nap, not a nap! Then start memorizing the Five Classics. The original owner spent most of his time reciting the Book of Songs and the collection of the Book of Songs. So before he decided which scripture to cure, he recited it every day.

A paper on the Book of Documents and Spring and Autumn, and then draft the title and write a question by yourself.

After dinner, I went to have a walk around the village and then went back. I started writing a poem every day, with different rhymes. Then I read two historical books and wrote a thought of one or two hundred words. Finally, I washed up and went to bed.

After the plan was formulated, Chu Ci began to implement it. In a certain aspect, Chu Ci is actually a person who can restrain himself.

Time flies by. When he woke up one morning, he saw Chu's mother take off the white cloth from the courtyard door and the door, and untied the hemp rope tied to the sleeves of his clothes, he realized that it was March 16th.

.

...

The national mourning on the fifteenth day has passed, and the new emperor is indeed the second prince. He ascended the throne on March 15th and changed the year name to Tianhe. The new emperor ascended the throne and was forgiven for the whole world. Except for the death penalty that cannot be forgiven lightly, all other crimes will be reduced.

First time. At the same time, the news of Kaienke also spread to various provincial governments with the post station, allowing local officials to immediately announce the news to avoid delaying the students participating in the provincial examination.

This news made people who had already started preparing to feel relieved. Although the new emperor usually ascended the throne, there were no exceptions. Emperor Liang of the previous dynasty died suddenly and his young son was forced to ascend the throne.

Of course, the previous dynasty then perished.

This year's provincial examination will be more nervous than before, because the value of the examination this year is different from previous years, so more people will participate. Anyone who passes this year will participate in the examination next year

qualifications.

In the past, the emperor could only invigilate the palace examination, and often only those who participated in the palace examination could be called the emperor's disciple. However, when the new emperor first ascended the throne, he would usually be named the chief examiner of this examination.

Therefore, as long as the winner of the examination this year, no matter what the examination scores, they can be called the Emperor's disciple. If the winner of the examination in previous years participates in the examination next year, although they can also be said to be the Emperor's disciple, the value of the Emperor's disciple will be reduced.

With this name on it, whether it is a release or a re-official, it can be half a level higher than an official at the same level. Who would refuse this?

However, within a province, three thousand scholars will receive ninety scholars. The admission rate can be said to be very low. In the examination, three thousand scholars will receive three hundred Jinshi. It is strange that everyone wants to say, "Jin Juren and Yin Jinshi".

"It's right.

...

On March 18, Chu Ci took two young men to Mengtong Pavilion to pay for leave, and then he rushed to the Xianxian Pavilion in the county school to attend the opening ceremony.

This time, it was a lot later than in previous years. The county examination and national mourning combined, resulting in the opening ceremony of the imperial examination class being held only now.

The imperial examination classes are divided into three categories, namely the provincial examination class, the county examination class and the boy class. These three classes are divided into three classes A, B, and C, which are generally arranged according to qualifications.

The provincial examination class is basically not too old, and has scholars and fame. The provincial examination class A is even better, and generally ranks within the top 20 of each session.

The county examination class is slightly older, but not over thirty years old. These people are only one step away from the scholars. Generally speaking, they have passed the county examination or the government examination.

The boy class is also called the juvenile class. They are the youngest on average, and they are basically people who have passed the boy exam and promoted to the Children's Hall. They have never participated in the county exam or have lost after taking the county exam.

County schools have monthly exams every month, and the Masters will adjust the class according to the monthly exam results ranking. If there is no improvement or the situation cannot be maintained on the spot for three consecutive times, then the county schools will be persuaded to withdraw.

When Chu Ci stepped into the Xianxian Pavilion, the people in the provincial examination class were almost there, and there were crowds of people inside. He was a little confused and didn't know where to stand.

"Brother Chu, here!" A person waved to him in the distance. Chu Ci looked closely and saw that it was Chen Zifang that day?

"Brother Zhongxing! I haven't seen each other for a few days, and my spirits are getting better." Chu Ci bowed.

"Haha, so is Brother Chu, his temperament is even more noble." Chen Zifang replied.

The two stood aside and talked, and suddenly heard that it was much quieter beside them. They realized that the mountain chief was taking more than ten teachers from the county school and more than twenty teachers to the door of the Xianxian Pavilion.

The students present bowed and said in unison: "Hello, the master of the mountain, the teacher, the teacher, the students are polite."

The voice resounded throughout the hall. The mountain captain looked at the respected students with a smile, and was as angry as a bell, saying, "You don't need much politeness."

"Xie Shanchang." Everyone bent down again, then stood up and stood still.

The mountain leader first said a lot of scenes, and then came the most exciting one - the class division. This class was divided according to the results of the graduation exam last year. The mountain leader signaled, and then a surnamed Jiang

The instructor stood up with the list.

"The first class of the provincial examination, those who read the name are out. Qi Xu, Jianghuai... Zhang Ding... These twenty-eight people are students of the first class of the provincial examination." The ones who were called were calm and a little happy. Look,

These people should be promoted to Class B or Class C.

"Next to Class B, the person who read the name is out, Luo Yingshu, He Jin..."

"Then it's C-class. Those who read the names are out, Zhu Xiang, Zhu Jie... Chu Ci, these forty-two people are out."

Chu Ci was very embarrassed. He didn't take the graduation exam last year, so his score was naturally zero. No wonder he was assigned to the end of Class C. It seems a bit embarrassing.

However, there were 120 people studying last year, but why only 110 people read the names? Except for the number of people in Class B, there were two people in Class A and eight people in Class C. It seems that there are ten people this year.

Being persuaded to withdraw.

"Teacher, students rank first in Class B, why can't they be promoted to Class A?" Someone came out to ask.

Teacher Jiang replied: "The school has always had a rule that if you register for the first place in this college exam, you can be exempted from being admitted to Class A. The leader of this case, Jinyang, had already signed up the day before yesterday, so Class A needs to leave a seat for him."

"There is only one person in the head of the case, isn't there another position?" The resources of Class A are very different from those of Class B.

"There is another rule for county schools. Any student transferred from the government schools can also be exempted from the examination for class A. Chen Zifang, a student who was originally studying in the government schools, came to register a few days ago, so he also had to leave a seat for him.

"Teacher Jiang said again.

The student had no choice but to retreat. Chen Zifang Lue, who was standing behind Chu Ci, felt a little embarrassed. He felt that he had occupied someone else's position. If he had learned this rule in advance, it would be better to join Class C with Brother Chu. Anyway, he would have been a month later.

You can also advance to Class A.

Chu Ci was very happy for these two friends, but Fang Jinyang came later, and he must say this boy a few words, but he was still mysterious. He had just seen this yesterday, so he didn't tell him such good news!

By the way, there is also this kid Zhang Wenhai, he should be studying in Class C with him.

Sure enough, in the following time, Teacher Jiang pronounced eight people who entered Class C, including Zhang Wenhai's name.

After the study, the students are divided into two sides, leaving a path in the middle to welcome the new students to enter.

It turned out that Chen Zifang, who was standing with Chu Ci, had sneaked out of the side door at this time. He didn't know that there was this ceremony, so he came in before.

The new students walked in with their heads held high under the guidance of the teacher. All of them were full of energy on their faces. Obviously, the title of the new scholar brought them supreme glory.

When Fang Jinyang met Chu Ci's eyes, he smiled bitterly. Chu Ci understood and threw his sinister eyes on Zhang Wenhai's face again.

Zhang Wenhai was originally laughing, but was busy bowing to other students. When he met Chu Ci's sight, his smile suddenly stopped, like a screaming chicken that was pinched to his throat.

It's over, Brother Chu is angry again!

The author has something to say: Update! Everyone is so friendly! I rubbed the line at 9 o'clock in the morning to update, but I forgot to wish you a happy holiday! Here is a blessing, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a reunion between people and moon.
