The morning breeze blows the three gates of Wuying Building. On the eighth day of the third month, around the Qingming Festival, at the beginning of Mao, the morning rooster crows, and the lanterns that are rushing to the exam are not as bright as the torches of the guards.

The three towering gates were familiar to Jia Cong and other Zhili Juren. The provincial examinations were here, and the same was true for the imperial examinations. The difference was that the people who took the exams came from all over the country, including Jiangxi, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, and the largest number of people. Yun, Guizhou, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ning were pitiful, and the number of people in Jin, Lu, Henan, Huguang, Fujian and Guangdong was the most common.

The examination is a national examination. The number of examiners and their names were copied from the residence. Mingfa was released in the world. The examiner was the chief assistant of the cabinet, Yang Qinghe, the Minister of Personnel. The deputy examiner, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, Dong Anguo, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and Dong Anguo also served as the supervisor. There are 18 house officials, all of whom are from the Hanlin Academy, including Jiang Huajiao, who has just recovered. Jiang Huajiao was elected as the leader of the three great masters of Jiangzuo and the leader of the Jiangzuo League. There are also Hanlin Academy Shuji Wei Wuzhi, editor Jaswen, compilation of Wei Gongshang, etc.

For the juren from other provinces, this is the first time they have accepted the emperor's personal questions. The provincial examinations in other provinces are all academic and political questions. Jia Cong has twice Zhili provincial examinations, one consular examination, and all emperor questions.

"This is a lot of talents, and the whole country's spring exam battle is not the same. Dong Fuyin is from Zhejiang, and there are many members of Zhejiang Lanshe. Yang Ge is from Suzhou, Jiang Huajiao is from Yangzhou, and Wei Tingjiao is from Songjiang... Look, the entire examination room was almost contracted by Jiangnan. Not only you, Gong Dingci, Dai Fengxiang... and us are both dangerous. It is said that the level of literature and literature in the same subjects is very different..."

Zhang Maocai stuck out his tongue and seemed unconfident. He and Kuang Liuhe also passed the provincial examination, while Wang Yinglin participated in the spring examination for the second time.

After a while, the scene began to be very chaotic. Dong Anguo shouted loudly, and the officers and soldiers separated the team with torches, and then gradually became quiet. Wang Yinglin said seriously: "You guys, you will become a dragon and become a phoenix. Let's see today. Time is endless. The dragon gate is right in front of you. After leaping past, we are dragons, and we must not waste our years."

Kuang Liuhe cheered and said, "Zhang Qingsong, don't be ambitious and destroy your own prestige. According to what you say, what hope does the northern people have? All the tribute scholars in the world can simply take Jiangnan. The imperial court has quotas for each province. No matter how powerful Jiangnan is, there are quotas limits. Don't worry, the imperial examination is based on the provincial quota, and Zhili ranks second, what are you afraid of?"

"See you again in three days, I'll encourage you." Jia Cong looked at the Dragon Gate with firm eyes.

The team kept moving forward, singing, searching, entering the door, Dai Fengxiang clenched his fists: "I must be in the top three!"

Gong Dingci said intently: "Join of Yanshe, today is our road to rise!"

Among them, the other two of the three great masters in Jiangzuo are the ones who can be called this by Jiangnan. Their own strength represents the top in Southern Province, not to mention that many examinees are from Jiangnan? One of these two is the talented man from Songjiang, Wei Shixuan, and the other is the Tongcheng Juren Fang Wuhui. Rugao Jiang family, Fang family in Tongcheng, and Weijia in Songjiang, are all Hanlin families for generations and scholarly families.

...

When entering the west side of the second entrance, Jia Cong saw the three propositions in the first place.

Question 1: The benevolent must have courage, and the brave do not have benevolence.

Question 2: Which one is better, whether a woman or a woman?

Question 3: If a five-acre house with mulberry trees under the wall, the woman hides it, then the old man will be able to wear silk. Five hens and two mothers will not lose their time, and the old man will not lose his flesh. If a hundred acres of land is plowed, a family of eight people will not be hungry... It is called freezing and hungry if it is not full or warm.

After spreading the paper, Jia Cong pondered for a while and wrote:

"With benevolence and courage, we know that the saints do not value courage."

"If benevolence but without courage, one cannot be called benevolence; if brave but without benevolence, it will often be true. Those who look at benevolence can think, and those who practice it themselves should know to do it."

"...Being benevolent is the body, and being brave is the use of it. The body can be hidden and used, but not the body. Therefore, although the same kindness of Yi, the firmness can only be close to benevolence; benevolence is the complete, and the brave is the partial, and the partiality cannot be complete. Therefore, even though we share the name of virtue, the body must be respected as the original good."

"Those who observe benevolent can think, and those who practice by themselves can know what they are doing."

On the ninth day of the third month, when Jia Cong thought about the second topic, the explanation of "The Collection of Notes on the Four Books" appeared in his mind: Hu said that Zigong was a man. After the Master was speechless, he asked him who would recover from it and to see how he knew himself. He knew ten things when he heard one and two things when he knew one and two things when he heard one and two things, and he learned it and learned it...

Sitting upright, Jia Cong lifted his pen and wrote:

"Who is more asked about the wise man, and he wants to reflect on himself."

"Who is the result of Master Gong or Yan Yuan? Don't Master know about it? So I asked Master Gong, don't he want his son Gong to reflect on himself?"

"If you say: Women are good at ordinary people, I have always regarded women as virtuous. Those who are in others still have the meaning of analogy, but those who are in themselves are not calculating. Those who are in others will not be ignorant of their confidants. I would like to pick up one person to be polite to each other."

"... Will the woman say that she is better than the woman? Since she always asked her, she has become better than the same family. She is better than the woman? Since the woman has not violated her in March, she has been praised by my party for a long time."

"I will say that the return will not be cured by the woman, but the woman will not be cured by the woman? This can be discussed as excessive or insufficient, but the return of the woman is not the case; this can be discussed as follows: Sometimes the return will become more and more women, but the return of the woman is not the same as the result of retreating and the request of the person, but the return of the woman is not the same..."

"I cannot forget my love for my daughter, and I cannot forget my love for my daughter and return. Who will be better if my daughter or return?"

...

At Shanhai Bookstore in the front and back yard, Luo Gaocai sighed at the Sword of Pain: "If this continues, the business will be closed. How can the people in the Prince's Mansion be fed easily?"

"Let's wait until next month before you talk. The young master is participating in the spring exam. He has many connections. Now the prefect is the examiner? Not everyone in the capital is afraid of the prince." Zheng Yeliao also forced herself to support herself and asked, "Are all the people who go down to Lingnan dead? No reply?"

"A few years ago, they met a young master in Suzhou. Now they are contacting Yangzhou. Fortunately, the shop there has grown bigger and we will not lose money when we return to the south."

Zheng Yeliao touched her chin and whispered: "Old Luo, let me tell you something. The young master came to inspect a few days ago. Have you noticed any abnormalities?"

"What's wrong? I can't tell..."

"He is like that, he is full of spring breeze and walks a little bit wild? He is not young anymore, so he must be at home...hehehe..."

"hey-hey……"

...

Two beauties turned gracefully at the end of the road, Lin Daiyu, who was as weak as the wind, and Xue Baochai, who had ice-skinned and beautiful bones, walked forward to Jia Cong's courtyard. Hearing Jia Yingchun talking in the window of the wing room, the other two were Qingwen and Xiangling.

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and asked Baochai to eavesdrop. Xue Baochai shook her head and didn't want to be a wall. Daiyu had to go in with her. Qingwen served tea and chatted for a while. Jia Yingchun looked at Xiangling and said, "I just said that Qingwen is skillful and Xiangling is well-behaved, and she is the same big beauty. If I were a man, I would be jealous of Brother Cong."

Xiangling saw Baochai and after saluting, she could chat with Miss Bao. Jia Yingchun looked at Xue Baochai and thoughtful. Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Blessed, blessed, from now on, you will be my brother and sister."

Qingwen and Xiangling were all here to make trouble for Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai sat upright and said to Yingchun: "According to your family's courtesy, two full rooms should be enough. If Brother Cong is on the Spring Examination, at most three people will be there, but he may not be as good as Xiangling. Should you, a sister, thank my brother?"

"It's thank you, it's thank you." Jia Yingchun snorted: "If you come here to be my brother and sister, it's even more thank you."
