After the 16th August exam, the provincial examination was held. The scholars cheered and called their friends. The wealthy went to Bitong Hutong, Carp Hutong, Donkey Hoozi Hutong. The poor went to the Beiqinghe Factory, the Jinyu Pond, and the Jinyu Pond, which was the concentration of local prostitutes.

No matter how rich or poor, no one will go home a few days before the results are released. In this state of uneasy, anxious and fearful mood, it is best to find a sister to vent. They are glad that although the quality of the sister in the capital is not as good as that of the Qinhuai River, their service attitude is good.

Most of the provincial examinations were selected on Chen and Yin, so they were called the Dragon and Tiger List. Because the osmanthus flowers bloom in Mid-Autumn Festival, they were also called the Osmanthus flowers list.

"The dragon and tiger are on the list of dragons and tigers. It is a good time to smell the osmanthus under the osmanthus tree." After leaving the dragon gate and the gate of the Gongyuan, Zhang Mao twisted his body and stretched his body: "Hey, do you go to the goldfish pond to see the 'goldfish'? The value there is cheap!"

"Sweeping away, your family won't get married to you at your age?" Wang Yinglin said: "Although it is common for scholars and scholars to linger in fireworks, it is prohibited to patrol the city and yamen. Besides, it will also affect our reputation as a Shanhai Alliance."

"Don't talk to me about those Taoist studies, I don't care." Zhang Maocai looked at Jia Cong and smiled: "I understand. Zili hasn't eaten meat yet. You defend him, right? Come on, if you don't go, I'll go by myself."

Zhang Maocai went to the kiln, and Kuang Liuhe shook his head in disappointment: "I met someone wrong, I met someone wrong!"

Jia Cong: "..."

"It's been eight or nine days, I'll go home to report a letter." Jia Cong bowed and said goodbye, thinking about it, "It's time to do my best to be a landlord. Come out and I'll treat you to the shop."

"I was so annoying at banquets. It was better to visit the suburbs. There were markets and temple fairs in the capital. That day, I came to Beijing from Ximen and saw a young woman with hair and practice from afar. She looked like a Jiangnan woman with a slender waist and a thin willow, and her appearance was extraordinary."

Wang Yinglin folded his fan and pressed his chin, and he was fascinated by leisurely: "This is a wonderful thing, much better than Zhang Maocai's vulgarity. He deserves to regret it, so he is in Ximen Muni Courtyard."

Kuang Liuhe muttered, "Take a hair to practice? Isn't it appropriate for us scholars to get close to such people?"

"Oh..." This time it was Wang Yinglin's turn to be disappointed and sneered: "She is a monk. Wouldn't we go to pray for blessings and pray to God? Does Bian Yujing know? They are also monks, and they still have romantic stories."

Ximen Muni Courtyard? Could it be...

"Whatever you want, I will pay for the money for water and wine." Jia Cong made an agreement and the three of them said goodbye.

I was bored for eight or nine days, and as soon as I came out, I felt like I saw the light of heaven again.

...

Dongcheng, Luo Mansion, and Wei Wuzhi stayed at Luo Min's house. Luo Min was competent for the official department, the leader of the six departments, and was also the chief minister of the official department. There were crowds of traffic in front of the gate and the city was crowded.

The backyard pavilion, stone table and chessboard, and the uncle and nephew play chess. Luo Minzhibaizi: "I have read your three articles. If you recommend Mr. Xu, you will definitely win. Jie Yuan has hope."

Wei Wuzhi's breathing was rapid and he quickly calmed down. Heizi took a few steps to make a move: "Shame, Duolai's uncle teaches him."

...

The curtains in the tribute courtyard, Qian Xihong recommended the first article of the previous article. After the chief examiner Yu Chenglong finished reading, he asked the deputy chief examiner Xu Youzhen to take a look, and Xu Youzhen chanted in a low voice:

"The Ming Dynasty has a constant state of the holy teachings, and the Chu doctor can remember them."

All the eight-legged essay masters understand very well. If you solve the problem, you will understand the meaning. You will solve it very well. The "Havenly Trinity" breaks the "elegant words" and the "Doctor of Chu" breaks the "Ye Gong". This shows that this candidate is familiar with the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and has a good historical foundation.

Xu Youzhen thought of the last two: "A man's elegant words were passed down to the Eastern Kingdoms. After receiving the ultimate pen of Lin, he became the sect of literature. Ye Gong came from the south and regained the sheep and proved his father's reading, and was once taught by the sage."

Read to the end: "However, the Master cannot be speechless!"

That's it!

The dark smile on the corner of Xu Youzhen's mouth flew away quickly and said respectfully: "Sir, I think this article can be used as a decisive Jieyuan, and Lord Qian is well recommended. According to his room, this article belongs to Shuntian Prefecture, and is also the chief examiner. The prefect has made contributions to the education of the prefect."

Yu Chenglong hesitated and said, "This candidate's Five Classics Questions have been reviewed, and it will not be too late to decide."

The deputy chief examiner Xu Youzhen and Qian Xihong did not refute the same exam. It was equivalent to Jackie Chan's plan to read the candidate's Spring and Autumn questions and his strategy was just right, but the first game was really outstanding.

A few days later, 60% of the candidates failed the exam, and the emperor appointed more than 600 places in the Shuntian Prefecture provincial examination, and about 20 were selected.

Almost all examiners know the candidate's name, and they have to be on the list and sing the ranks in class on this day.

Sixteen examiners gathered together.

The provincial examination dragon and tiger list is divided into the main list and the secondary list. First write the main list, and first write the top six, starting from the sixth place.

Several clerks were squatting behind the table, one clerk compared the red scroll to the ink scroll, and opened the name of the paste, and the other clerk wrote the list, and finished reading the sixth Yakui. The clerks read again: "The fifth Chunqiui Jingkui, Shuntian Prefecture Wanping County, Wang Yinglin!"

"Now Keshun Tianfu is full of talents, and the top five are rich and recommended two of them."

"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

The officials and clerks brought the red candles to Qian Xihong's table, and Qian Xihong couldn't stop smiling.

Yu Chenglong and Xu Youzhen also smiled at the lobby. This is a rule and convention. There must be five classics in the provincial examination. The official who selected the Jingkui not only had face, but also the Jingkui's teacher. Since then, Qian Xihong became Wang Yinglin's teacher.

The clerk read the first place: "Xieyuan, Liangxiang County, Shuntian Prefecture, Wei Wuzhi!"

Then the drum musicians and celebrating escorts surrounded him and went to Shuntian Prefecture's yamen to set up a banner.

At this time, Yu Chenglong frowned and asked, "Why is that Jia Cong, the number one prodigy in Dashun, not on the list?"

Qian Xihong smiled with an old face and her eyes turned: "Sir, Jia Cong's red scroll is also a low-level review. He violated Buddhism and used improper words as a banner. He would not make any mistakes."

"Well..." Because Qian Xihong won the top five consecutively, and he could be said to be a keen eye for heroes, Yu Chenglong didn't want to look at Luoshu anymore and said, "It's good to be tempered, but the young man has too many edges."

Xu Youzhen smiled but said nothing. If Wei Wuzhi wins the exam next year, he will be the first benefactor that Wei Wuzhi should be grateful for. How could Wei Wuzhi not repay such unkindly?

...

After Jia Cong went home to report his message and asked him for peace. The scene was too dull. Jia Mu disappeared and asked Yuanyang to reply outside the door, "I understand."

Jia She was indifferent on the east side, but he ordered him to wait for the release of the results. However, his second uncle Jia Zheng seemed to be more concerned than Jia She. When he greeted him, he encouraged him a few words and vaguely mentioned that this year, all those who had something to do with Wang Ziteng would be fine.

The people from Rongguo Mansion cannot be said to be completely broken. When Jia Cong reads the Red Chamber, he remembers that Jia Zheng is the only one among the male owners of the Jia family who repeatedly predicts the family crisis, but he is powerless and has great ambitions and talent. The daughters, grandmothers, Jia Yuanchun, Qin Keqing, Wang Xifeng, Jia Tanchun, etc., are all bright about the current family situation.

It was said that after reporting the banquet of the same year, Jia She was not bad, so Jia Cong took Sun Fu and Long Aotian to dismount outside Xibianmen, and joined the Muni Courtyard with Wang Yinglin and Kuang Liu.

The temple is relatively desolate and there are few pilgrims. I recall that I went to Wanping and Gu'an with Qin Zhong on this street. It was also the first time I met Kuang Liuhe here. When they talked about it, it was only the past two years, but it was like a dream. It was so wonderful when they met a fate in their lives.

The three-room broken pillars supported the hall, and Jia Cong walked into the outer door. Suddenly, the three of them saw a woman wearing a paddy field dress under the red plum tree beside the wall. She was holding a hoe and digging a hole, burying four or five blue-faced porcelain jars. The woman was graceful and had a snow-skinned face. She was in a Buddhist temple and wearing a Taoist paddy field dress, which was already very strange.
