On April 17, before the gate of the government office was opened, Lin Chenggui ordered two literate family members to guard it, and Lin Fangxu and the others waited for news at home.Lin Fangqi has been walking around the hall since dawn, feeling that he shouldn't listen to Uncle Gui, he should go by himself, there are many people crowded to watch the list, maybe he won't be as nervous as he is now.When Lin Fangqi was about to level the floor tiles in the hall, Xiao Jia ran in and shouted: I'm hit!
Young Master Xu has been hit by the case!
Lin Fangxu didn't react yet, but Lin Fangqin next to him stood up suddenly, and the person who was used to being serious didn't know how to express his joy, so he just took a deep breath, patted Lin Fangxu and said: Brother Xu, congratulations.Lin Fangwei and the others didn't care about congratulating him, and hurriedly asked if they had seen anyone else.The little guy is also sleek, seeing that the head of the case is Lin Fangxu, he naturally came back first to report the good news and received the reward, and then said, of course he didn't know if the others didn't win.After another half an hour, another little guy B came back, this little guy carefully read the list twice, and said after coming back: There are too many people watching the list, the small one only barely looks at a rough idea, and a total of about two hundred candidates have been selected, Young Master Xu won the first case, Young Master Qi ranked thirty-two, Young Master Shao ranked forty-eight, and the names of Young Master Ming and Young Master Wei did not notice.Lin Fangmao sent the same reward, so he asked the two to step down, and then promoted Xiao Yi to his side to do things, of course, this is a later story.At this time, even if Lin Fangqi's nerves were thicker, seeing that Brother Ming and Viagra were depressed, he comforted the others: Maybe the little guy didn't see it, let's wait a little less in the evening, and then go and see.It's a pity that the two went to see it in person in the afternoon, and they really didn't have their own names.Su Zhifu and Li Zhixian have different personalities, but they have a striking similarity, that is, they don't invite students who have passed the exam after the exam.So the day after Lin Fangqin finished posting the list, he took his younger brother to resign to Uncle Cheng Gui, and the group returned to Wuyi County.Chapter 17 Lin Fangming looked depressed along the way, people are just afraid of comparison, he didn't pass the county test in previous years, and he didn't take it seriously, this time his younger brother who was more than ten years younger than himself was the head of the two cases, hey, he still wanted to save face.Lin Fangming, who wants to save face, doesn't know that his wife is waiting for him to come home at home.The reason is that when Ai Xiaoya was talking to the shopkeeper of the study about the consignment fee, she met Qu Shuangshuang who came to buy pen and ink.It is said that Ai Xiaoya had planned to make friends with Qu Shuangshuang for a long time, but she was so busy with other things that she forgot about it.After the two met, Qu Shuangshuang stepped forward and took the initiative to talk: I am really fortunate to see the lady today, it is really fortunate that Shuangshuang has been looking forward to intersecting with the lady for a long time, I don't know if I am lucky today, please have a cup of tea.Ai Xiaoya couldn't talk to the shopkeeper, and was about to leave, so she agreed with a smile: Boss Qu invited, and he couldn't ask for it.After the two arrived at Honghu Tower, they both had the heart to make friends with each other, and naturally they talked happily soon, and after a while, one called each other Sister Qu and the other called each other Sister Xiaoya.Qu Shuangshuang naturally saw the manuscript in Ai Xiaoya's hand, and asked: I just saw the lady arguing with the shopkeeper Yuan, I don't know what it is.Ai Xiaoya didn't hide it, so she told all the causes and consequences, Qu Shuangshuang listened to it, and was very curious about what kind of script it was, so she asked Ai Xiaoya if she could borrow it.Ai Xiaoya was worried that she couldn't sell it, and it was okay if someone wanted to see it, so she said that she would get it herself after reading it tomorrow, and then went home.When Ai Xiaoya went the next afternoon, Qu Shuangshuang was waiting for her in the lobby, but it turned out that he wanted to buy her script.Honghulou once invited a female gentleman to tell the story, and at the beginning, there were many wives and ladies to support the party, but unfortunately the female gentleman would also have two books, and he was tired of listening to it and gradually became cold.Qu Shuangshuang is really optimistic about Ai Xiaoya's book, and after explaining the original end to her, he couldn't help but say a few words of truth, and said: I don't know how my sister would think of selling it in the study, how many people go there buy the book?
.How did you come up with it?
Traveling through what is written in the novel.Ai Xiaoya was also worn out of temper this time, so she said: If my sister buys it, how can I buy it?
Qu Shuangshuang didn't beat around the bush and replied: If my sister sells it to me directly, I can pay forty taels.If my sister cooperates with me, I will only pay ten taels of pen fees, and in the future, guests will reward my sister for listening to books.Ai Xiaoya thought to herself, she couldn't see it, this sister's bid was not low, the Lin family's 100 acres of land only had an income of about 200 taels a year, and the eldest brother-in-law housekeeper would give her a silver pocket money a month.Ai Xiaoya wanted to agree directly, but most of the script was written by Lin Fangming, so she still had to tell him, and she had to respect the other half.Then he said: I am willing to cooperate with my sister, but after all, the script has Xianggong to help polish it, and I still have to nod my head, so I can only wait for Xianggong's house to come back and then reply to my sister.The government exam was completed the day before yesterday, and it shouldn't be able to wait a few days, so Qu Shuangshuang naturally nodded and agreed.may be depressed, Lin Fangming got some wind chill on the way back, and he was delayed for a day on the way.The clansmen had already received the news of the government test, and the drinks, firecrackers, and banquets had been set, so they were waiting for them to come back and celebrate with the whole clan.Lin Fangxu and the others had just arrived at the entrance of Linjia Village, and they were surrounded by several children sent by their grandfather to sentry.A few people got out of the carriage, and Ermu bypassed his Lao Tzu, jumped on Lin Fangxu, and said happily: Little uncle, fortunately, you did well in the exam this time, grandpa said that he would hold a banquet to celebrate, and we had Buddha jumping over the wall to eat in the afternoon!
Hey!
If you do well in the co-authorship test, you just jump over the wall to eat Buddha?
Come on, we are all in the light of the head of the forest today, eating Buddha and jumping over the wall.Lin Fangqi teased with a smile.A group of people entered the village with a smile, and the grandfather who got the news had already arranged for someone to light the firecrackers that had been hung at the entrance of the village to welcome the returning students.It's no wonder that the clansmen are not reserved, after all, the candidates who have won the head of the government over the years may not necessarily win the first place in the college examination, but if nothing else, they will definitely be able to pass, so that the Lin family can be regarded as a famous top doorman.Sixteen tables were set up for the Lin family banquet, and Lin Fangxu, Lin Fangqi, and Lin Fangshao followed the eldest grandfather and other elders to make the main table.The cousins of the children above the table toasted to the three of them one after another, but Lin Fangqi and the two of them drank, and when it was Lin Fangxu's turn, the toasters were scolded back by the grandfather and other elders.Don't drink to Brother Xu, he's only thirteen this year, what should I do if I hurt my body!
Grandpa said.Brother Xu has to take the college exam in June, if you drink badly and delay the exam, you can't afford to pay for ten.The sixth grandfather said with a straight face.How dare the young people refute, but Lin Fangxu couldn't sweep everyone's interest, he walked with everyone in turn with a teacup, and in the end, the Buddha jumped over the wall and didn't take two bites, but drank the tea.However, he said that Lin Fangming did not go home after the party, and walked along the river bank alone, and finally stood next to the willow forest at the head of the village.Ai Xiaoya consciously understands him very well, just like the teacher appreciation banquet after the college entrance examination that year, the 985 and 211 exams sat next to the teacher, and talked freely about developing well in the future and earning money for their hometown.Ai Xiaoya didn't contribute any money this time, and she didn't eat good food, so she decided to be a good wife and followed Lin Fangming, planning to find an opportunity to comfort him.Lin Fangming stood on the bank of the river at the head of the village, looked at the river, and said to Ai Xiaoya behind him: Do you think the weeping willows by the river and the bright moon in the river are beautiful?
Ai Xiaoya thought for a while and replied: The willow trees are green, and the bright moon is bright, which is indeed beautiful.Lin Fangming said in a trance: Yes, how beautiful, I want to write a poem to sing about its beauty now.Ai Xiaoya said strangely: Then you write, I'll go get you paper and ink?
But only if you can't jump into the river.Lin Fangming didn't listen to her, and said to himself: Do you have to write a good eight-strand text, the eight-strand text of the current text was not originally written by a sage, how can it explain the subtlety of a sage, and the beauty of this world, the things of the world, how can it be described in the eight-strand text.Could it be that scholars must follow the eight-strand rules they formulated, be the person who sells fame and reputation, and be a national thief who is confused by the fame and fame.Ai Xiaoya thought to herself: Yes, it seems that I don't need to comfort you anymore.Lin Fangming used all his courage to make a decision: Lady, no matter how much my eldest brother scolds me in the future, I don't plan to take the imperial examination again.Ai Xiaoya felt that it didn't matter, and seeing that he didn't plan to jump into the river, she stood with him for a while and the two went home.On the other side of the willow forest, Lin Fangxu glanced at his eldest brother worriedly, only to see him break a willow branch at random and playfully said: Brother Xu thinks that a scholar must write a good eight-strand essay.Lin Fangxu thought for a while and replied: Readers naturally don't have to write Bagu Wen well, and Bagu Wen is not necessarily a reader, but just borrowing the name of a reader to do what he wants.Lin Fangqin raised his eyebrows and smiled: Brother Xu understands it, it seems that the eldest brother will not have to force your second brother in the future, since he doesn't want to take the test, then let him do as he wants, but in the future, Brother Xu will have to work hard to be a thief and ghost in that country.Lin Fangxu shrugged his shoulders, smiled casually, and said: The little brother of the national thief Lu ghost doesn't want to be it, but the little brother is even more unwilling to just be a scholar.Lin Fangqin listened to him, his face was full of relief, the two brothers looked at each other and smiled like confidants, and then went home.The next day, Lin Fangxu and Lin Fangqi invited each other, and the two went to Qixia Academy together, and when they entered the door, they met Wu Zisheng, who also passed the government exam, and Wen Boyuan, another candidate in his twenties.The five of them greeted each other and went to the door of Mr.'
s study to ask for a meeting, just as Mr. had already finished class.When Xu Zhaoping saw them, he smiled and said: Yes, the first two steps of the boy's test are considered to be stepping out, but the last step is missing, so don't be complacent.The five people hurriedly returned: the students did not dare.Xu Zhao said again: During this time, you can go home by yourself, study with peace of mind, I have asked you Senior Brother Xu to arrange a place to live, you will take a post later, and go directly to the Xu family courtyard when you arrive in Hangzhou.Then he commented on the articles of several county and government examinations separately, and explained some points that need to be paid attention to.When it was Lin Fangxu's turn, he said: Brother Xu is so young and has such a good mind, and there is nothing to teach you as a teacher in the article, but there is still a sentence I want to say to you.Lin Fangxu was busy: Sir, please speak.Xu Zhao was silent for a while and said: Brother Xu, being a man sometimes requires a little sincerity, and you must not overcalculate everything.After listening to this, Lin Fangxu didn't know what he was thinking, but he said respectfully on his face: Students should remember Mr.
Teacher's teachings.In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of May, Wuyi County to Hangzhou is much farther than to Jinhua, you must follow a caravan a month in advance, or Lin Fangqin, Lin Fangwu two people, before leaving, the sixth grandfather called Lin Fangqin over, gave a hundred taels of silver, and arranged two nursing homes to follow.Chapter 18 Lin Fangxu and the others arrived in Hangzhou at the end of May, and went directly to the other courtyard that Mr. said, and the housekeeper had already been instructed, and directly took a few people to the guest room to rest, waiting for Senior Brother Xu to come back from school.At this time, Ai Xiaoya and his wife, who were far away in Wuyi County, were immersed in the dream of the Red Mansion and could not extricate themselves.After Lin Fangming figured it out, he went to the county seat with Ai Xiaoya the next day, and Ai Xiaoya naturally talked about cooperating with Qu Shuangshuang.Lin Fangming was very interested after hearing this, and personally went to Honghu Tower with Ai Xiaoya to discuss the matter.Qu Shuangshuang knew that the two were actually husband and wife, but he was not too surprised, and the three of them quickly negotiated.The female gentleman spent a day preparing, and Qu Shuangshuang told acquaintances everywhere that there would be a new book to talk about in the teahouse, and Lin Fangming also invited a group of friends to come to the scene, and the effect was expected.The silver money rewarded on the first day was divided, and Ai Xiaoya got about two taels, and said with a smile: I don't know if there will be so many every day in the future, if there is, it will not be more than seven hundred taels that year.Ai Xiaoya traveled for so long, and for the first time, she felt that she had a little protagonist aura, but she was soon pulled back to reality by Qu Shuangshuang.Qu Shuangshuang smiled and said: My sister really thinks that this time it is a special place to find someone to support, how can there be so many in the future, and I am tired of hearing this story in a few months, and it is estimated that there will be no money a day.After listening to this, Ai Xiaoya smiled confidently: If my sister wants a new story, it is nothing rare, just write a better one.Qu Shuangshuang also smiled and said: If my sister has a new story, you must remember my sister, and then we will cooperate like now.Ai Xiaoya raised her eyebrows, and said undeniably: Let's talk about this when the time comes, I must write the story first, and my sister is satisfied with it.Ai Xiaoya also knew that the rewarded Qian Qu was only given 10% to the female gentleman, and she got 50% herself.Publish a new story by herself, the female gentleman is responsible for telling it, she will come out of the venue, not to mention that it can also drive the tea house business, the tea and snacks are sold more than usual, no matter what, she should not take fifty percent, and she feels that she takes advantage of the cheapness.When Ai Xiaoya returned home, Lin Fangming sat bored in the courtyard.Ai Xiaoya was surprised: Didn't you go out drinking with your friends?
Why did you come back so early?
Lin Fangming said with a humble heart: Someone suddenly had an emergency, so he didn't go.In fact, a few people have been there all the time saying: Is it your brother who has been at the head of the government?
Your brother is too talented.Do you think he can get a little three-dollar?
Lin Fangxu was annoyed, so he said that there was something wrong and left early.Of course, Ai Xiaoya will not get to the bottom of it, but said: When I come back, Sister Qu asked me to think of a new story, so as not to tell a repeat story, and when the guests are tired of listening to it, I still have a new story, do you want to hear it?
Lin Fangming is bored, so he should naturally be fine.Ai Xiaoya sat on the opposite side of the stone table and said slowly: When the Nuwa clan was refining stones to make up for the sky, she practiced 12 zhang high scriptures and 36,500 stubborn stones in 24 zhang in the Great Wilderness Mountain.Wa Huang's only used 36,500 yuan, only one piece was left unused, and it was abandoned under the green ridge peak of this mountain when Ai Xiaoya's dream of Red Mansions was not finished, and it was not two days before leaving the hospital to start the trial.After that, a few candidates stopped going out and gathered together to read and write.In the sixth year of Jianwen, on the tenth day of June, the hospital examination began, and the Zhejiang Political Department had jurisdiction over Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Huzhou, Shaoxing, Jinhua and other ten prefectures.Like entering the government entrance examination, Lin Fangxu and the others had to first find the red lantern with the word Jinhua written on it, and be with the candidates from their own government, and each government would enter the examination room together in the order of drawing.Jinhua Mansion is not bad luck, it is in the middle, and after all the candidates enter the venue, it is already the middle of the day, and at this time, the adult Tixue in a scarlet robe finally appears.There are two examinations in the college, and most of the people are eliminated in the first one, and the number of admissions is double the number of talents.Half of the second re-examination will be eliminated, and the rest of the people will be the showmen in this college examination, which can be regarded as having fame and fame, and they are their own people, and they will not have to kneel when they see officials in the future.The student was not verbose, announced the discipline of the examination room, and explained the number of examinations, and then announced the examination questions.If the county exam questions are only a little tricky, then the college exam questions are really difficult, and most candidates are estimated to not even be able to break the questions.In fact, the master of the school was also forced out of the fire by the wealthy families of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, before the dynasty, the family fled south, and later took the initiative to contribute, and the families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and other places who had not experienced the war were lined up, and the inheritance was complete.The people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang can read, and they are simply proud of the imperial examinations.
