After thinking about it, Brother Wen could only secretly praise Yang Bichuan in his heart for distinguishing between public and private affairs and never bringing personal emotions into work.

Since all the acquaintances had warmly invited him, Brother Wen walked over with Hong Zhen. Although he was not tall, his back was straight, and he looked a bit like a Jie Yuan from his posture.

Hong Chu didn't expect that he could see a solution when he accompanied his new friend to look at the list, and he couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He glanced at Brother Wen next to him, who was about the same height as him, and then at Huang Bang, who was close at hand.

, I just felt that everything in front of me was incredible.

Even though his grandfather was already a third-rank official in the local government, officialdom was still quite far away for him. He and his father spent every day swimming happily among the books. Unexpectedly, his father rarely invited a friend home, and this friend actually

I can take the Jie Yuan test!

No wonder he has a friend who came to accompany him in the exam!

Although Hong Cheng didn't squeeze in, he heard the news coming from outside.

Brother Wen is Jieyuan!

He also left the game early, but what others got was Jieyuan!

Even though he had learned about Brother Wen's glorious deeds from others in the past few days, Hong Cheng still felt that it was a bit unreal.

When he thought of his father, Xie Qian, and Wang Hua, they all knew each other, and Hong Cheng suddenly became confused.

When his father gets the news, he will definitely write a letter to reprimand him.

Take a look at how the Wang family teaches their sons. The eldest son is already a concubine, and the third son in front of him has won the title of Xie Yuan!

If I continue to take the exam like this, won't I have a chance to get "top scorer in two subjects"?

I heard that Wang Hua also had a chance to get Jieyuan when he took the provincial examination. However, because he had served as a teacher for six years before coming back to take the exam, the examiner gave Jieyuan to a younger official student after careful consideration.

Only when students in school take Jieyuan can they be more motivated to advance!

So Wang Hua got second place at that time!

Now, the little prodigy of the Renwang family has brought Jieyuan back!

Is there any candidate in the past who is younger than him and more suitable to motivate the underachievers?

At this moment, Hong Cheng only felt as if he had read a storybook with ups and downs, and his mood was so excited that he was even more excited than passing the Jieyuan exam.

This year, the news about the eight-year-old Jie Yuan also spread like wildfire throughout Hangzhou.

Along with this news, various legends of child prodigies spread. Even articles such as "The Addict to the Golden Lotus" and "A Letter to My Father" written by Brother Wen when he was a child were dug up and disseminated again.

What I missed then, I can see now.

Look at this little prodigy who has dared to scold some scholars who indulged in women and had bad morals since he was a child. He is also so concerned about his father's health. It can be seen that he is a good boy with good conduct and filial piety to his parents!

I heard that two of the Hanlin Academy bosses who wrote poems for "The Pursuit of the Golden Lotus" have already joined the cabinet. In the future, if scholars want to pursue an official career, they will have to pay more attention to their own style.

At first, some people questioned whether the eight-year-old Jie Yuan had some shady secrets. For example, the examiner directly gave Jie Yuan to him for the sake of his two old teachers.

But then I thought about it, if this little prodigy hadn't obtained Jieyuan based on his ability, how could the examiner dare to put him in such a high position? If someone pulled him out, wouldn't it mean that even the examiner would be ruined?

Let's look at the resume of the little prodigy from childhood to adulthood. It is true that he has never left books since he knew how to do things. He grew up in the Hanlin Academy and was among the number one scholars since he was a child! Under such influence, he was able to pass the exam.

It’s not surprising that Jie Yuan is there.

Some people even secretly started a bet on whether their Zhejiang province could produce a nine-year-old champion next year.

The nine-year-old champion, it’s very exciting just thinking about it!

People from Zhejiang don’t question Zhejiang people, their children from Zhejiang are the most awesome!

For a time, the whole Hangzhou Prefecture was bustling with excitement.

Cars, horses, and boats going to various counties to report the good news also came and went constantly, and they all wanted to be the first to report the news to the homes of the masters, and strive to collect a share of the reward money to feel happy.

The next day was the Luming Banquet after the Provincial Examination. It was hosted by Wu Botong, the examiner, and Yang Bichuan, the examiner. Officials from Zhejiang's Chief Secretary were also present.

The candidates headed by the eight-year-old Xie Yuan, Brother Wen, had to worship the sages and thank the examiners in a serious manner.

Bichuan presided over these events, and officials from the Chief Secretary of Zhejiang Province were also present.

The candidates headed by the eight-year-old Xie Yuan, Brother Wen, had to worship the sages and thank the examiners in a serious manner.

There were etiquette officers to guide them all, and Brother Wen had rich experience in attending banquets (after all, he had eaten and drank at the Jinshi banquet), so he was not at all panicked by these procedures.

I even had the leisure to wonder what I would like to eat later.

This deer-crowing banquet was officially organized, and special funds were allocated to purchase it. After we sat down, the first thing we were served was fruit plates and snacks. The most eye-catching one was the high mountain of candy in the center of the table.

Each candy mountain is made of sugar cookies weighing several kilograms to form the shape of a mountain peak. It looks very unique and very festive.

Brother Wen really wanted to try it, but he was afraid of eating it to pieces!

However, most of these candies and snacks are just for viewing, and they may not taste very good, so Brother Wen is not too obsessed and eats whatever he wants.

It’s a satisfying meal to eat.

It's just that Brother Wen, the little Xie Yuan, can't drink, so a lot of wine was saved at the Luming Banquet. While everyone was toasting each other and getting drunk, Brother Wen stretched out his little paw towards the candy mountain and secretly raised his head from above.

I broke open a piece of candy and tasted it.

The taste is predictably average, with a sweet aftertaste.

Curiosity kills!

Brother Wen quickly picked up the tea and took two sips to suppress the sweet taste in his mouth. After drinking the tea, he felt someone was looking at him. He turned around and suddenly met Yang Bichuan's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Brother Wen: “…………”

It's okay, the things put on the table are for people to eat. He didn't steal or rob, so why was he afraid of being seen!

After all, they were both his own tutors for the provincial examination, and they were both from Zhejiang, so Brother Wen simply started chatting with Yang Bichuan. He was quite curious about how he could understand Yuan!

Yang Bichuan asked instead: "Do you think your answer sheet should not be awarded Jieyuan?"

Brother Wen said: "It's not just what I think."

Whether you can take the first place in the exam does not just depend on your own strength, but also on who is taking the exam together. Anyway, it depends on the right time, the right place, and the right people!

As an examinee, all he can do is try his best to answer the paper.

Yang Bichuan explained to him the complete marking process.

First, the fellow examiners below will review the papers and write comments. After he gets the papers, he will refer to their comments for a second review.

Most of the people who can be selected as examiners are quite qualified, so the comments they write are quite valuable for reference. As long as they recommend them, he, the examiner, will carefully review them.

Among the answer sheets submitted for the three exams, his paper received the longest comments, and they were from different exam papers!

This is a paper that was copied and assigned to different examiners, but no one knows which examinee it is.

I don’t know how this kid is so smart, but the article was so well written that it inspired the examiner’s desire to comment, so this kid had the main prerequisite for being ranked first: all three!

Then comes the final ranking stage.

First of all, the Five Classics of "Poetry", "Book", "Li", "Yi" and "Spring and Autumn" have to be sorted out to be the leader of the Five Classics. Brother Wen is studying "Spring and Autumn". The number of elective students is extremely small, and there are even fewer exam masters. It is easy to stand out and become the "Spring and Autumn".

"Spring and Autumn" Kui.

Then Wu Jingkui made a horizontal comparison and found that he had the least shortcomings. He performed extremely well in every game and wrote down the examiners' comments (recommendations) on every answer sheet.

Doesn’t this single out Jieyuan?

As soon as the name was revealed, everyone agreed even more: he passed the test in terms of knowledge, passed the test, and passed the test in conduct (so many big guys watched him grow up), so what reason was there not to give him the title of solution? Not only is age not a problem, it's also a period of time.

Good story!

As long as they take out the answer sheet of their little Jieyuan and show it to everyone, who can not be convinced?

Of course, the comments they carefully wrote during the marking process must also be disseminated!

What is this called? This is called discerning with a wise eye!

However, Yang Bichuan would not tell Brother Wen about these thoughts of the examiners. He only told him the specific marking process. Anyway, they were fair and impartial and did not accept any requests!

After Yang Bichuan finished speaking, he glanced at Brother Wen, stood up with a smile, and said to the new judges at the table that everyone had almost eaten, and they could pass around this year's Jieyuan answer sheet as an after-dinner program.

Brother Wen:?????

Eat, just eat, what answer sheet are you passing around!!!

Everyone was very satisfied with this after-dinner program. This is also a tradition of the provincial examination. In fact, not only the answer sheet of Jieyuan, but also the answer sheet of Wu Jingkui will be circulated to everyone. It can be regarded as providing an exchange and learning experience for the candidates who are about to go to Beijing to participate in the Spring Festival.

Chance.

Why can others get Jingkui? What is the gap between you and Jingkui? How will you check for leaks and fill the gaps in the next half year to prepare for the Spring Festival?

The banquet suddenly became lively again, and Wen Geer, the new Jie Yuan, was surrounded by people discussing how to prepare for the exam.

Brother Wen didn't hide his secrets. He told them about his learning process generously. In short, he was given homework by his senior teacher every day since he could walk. On holidays, he would go to his senior teacher.

Home is subject to assessment.

Then Mr. Da found him a Go teacher, a composition teacher, a calligraphy teacher, etc. It could be said that he bought one and got many, so he could learn a little bit of everything.

However, the second teacher and the other two are very nice people, but the eldest teacher is the strictest. Even when he goes to his house to pay New Year greetings during the Chinese New Year, he will say, "I'm here, remember your homework." From time to time, he will find excuses to give him extra homework. It's really scary!

Of course, the most disgusting thing is Qian Fu and Zhang Ling, who were his bad friends. They actually gave him questions at the dinner table, and they only allowed him to take a bite if he failed one question. If he had no idea, the food would be cold, right?

This way of preventing others from enjoying delicious food in the first place is simply outrageous!

After listening to Brother Wen's introduction to his learning process and learning methods from childhood to adulthood, the dinner fell into a long silence.

What’s outrageous is not just Qian Zhuangyuan, how are they?

You try to solve a problem at the dinner table and take a bite, but the food is still not cold after you finish eating?!
Chapter completed!
