After eating the roast beef, Wang Fu patted his bulging belly and suddenly joked: "Liu Xian, the court has regulations prohibiting the private slaughter of farm cattle, so you are not afraid that the origin of this beef is unknown and it is illegal to eat it with me."

?"

It is true that the imperial court has an express decree prohibiting the slaughter of farm cattle. However, the people of Yujiang regard beef as a delicacy, and beef is served at all banquets, large and small.

The emperor's reign was Anping, and now it is the thirty-ninth year of Anping. When Emperor Anping first came to the throne, he launched a mass prison in the province for the act of killing cattle. As a result, too many people were arrested and the implication was widespread.

The emperor almost couldn't get off the stage. Later, an official came to the court to explain the reasons and asked the court to release him without questioning his guilt. Emperor Anping got off the donkey and expressed his agreement.

As a result, beef even appeared openly at banquets held by provincial officials.

This information is known to all scholars with some status.

Wang Fu knew that Qin Chuan was born in a rural area and his family was poor, so he wanted to tease him to see if Qin Chuan could remain as calm as ever.

"I remember that a poet from this dynasty said, 'Chinese kitchens prepare a rich meal, cook sheep and slaughter fattened cattle.' There were also poets in the previous generation who said, 'Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle is a pleasure, and you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time.' If you want to slaughter cattle, you will have to drink three hundred cups."

It's in line with the law, but it's in line with emotions. Etiquette and law are nothing more than human feelings. If you eat beef, nothing will happen. And the king brother has eaten it, but the younger brother doesn't. Isn't it unloyalty?" Qin Chuan said with a soft smile.

"Haha, Liuxian has read so many poems. I have never heard of this sentence. But these two poems sound good. I have to drink three hundred cups at a time, but I have to take the exam tomorrow, so I won't

I advise you to drink."

Most of the scholars who took the imperial examination had their heads buried in the Four Books and Five Classics before they were admitted to the imperial examination, especially those from families who farmed, read and passed down books. They paid special attention to this point, for fear that their family members and nephews would be distracted by other things and delay the imperial examination, which was the most important event in life.

They used poems, songs, ancient articles, or being named on the gold medal list to cultivate their sentiments for entertainment; or they used it to pass the time and comfort their frustrations when they were discouraged during the imperial examination.

He concentrated and began to solve the problem.

Before noon, Qin Chuan had successfully answered the paper.

Qin Chuan keenly felt that Huang Meng glanced at him with a slightly unkind look.

Afterwards, the two of them chatted for a while, and Qin Chuan took the silver coins he deserved, and then asked the housekeeper where Zheng Tu and his wife were staying. Then he fed Ying Ning again, and left Ying Ning with the old book on his back.

After all, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come to cover it up.

It's the same as offending people.

As soon as the test questions were announced, many candidates immediately cried out.

There was also a new set of clothes and baby swaddling clothes prepared inside. Even the paper and inkstone were brand new. There was also a sum of silver in it. The butler explained that it was the 30% of the silver that Qin Chuan deserved for selling the wolf skin yesterday, and it was included.

Qin Chuan: "Brother Wang, I really like this gift. But the bookcase I brought was borrowed by Brother Zheng, a fellow countryman, so that I could take the college exam. I will go out to look for them later. If I change the bookcase

, wouldn’t it hurt my friend’s heart? Brother Wang regards me as his friend, so naturally he doesn’t want his younger brother to do this. So I accepted the book case, but after my college exam, I will return the book case to Brother Zheng and pick it up again.

?”

It can be seen that Wang Fu was very considerate. He carried such a good bookcase on his back. If he was dressed simply, it would be indecent and would make people laugh. He also carefully prepared swaddling clothes for Ying Ning. He was really considerate.

"Liu Xian, this is my gift to you. No matter whether you pass the exam or not, it's all because of my brother's heart. Don't refuse it."

He called the housekeeper and whispered a few words.

Qin Chuan naturally thanked him.

Since he had finished answering the questions, he was just killing time in the examination room. He might as well go out early to get some fresh air and wait for Wang Fu to come out.

Because Qin Chuan was dressed simply, he stood out among all the brightly dressed children.

Because the college examination was anonymous, the academic officer obviously did not know Qin Chuan. When he saw the font on Qin Chuan's paper, his eyes lit up and he was immediately attracted by the articles in the paper.

He asked himself that he had nothing in common with the other person, but after searching his memory, he found that he had met this person in both the county and government examinations before his awakening.

Qin Chuan did not look for the prince of the Wang family, but looked for him, which shows that Qin Chuan is by no means a person who forgets wealth and status.

When it gets slightly brighter, we start setting off.

Qin Chuan didn't pay too much attention to it. Anyway, Wang Fu would still be the eldest son of the Wang family if he couldn't pass the exam. In the future, he would spend money to donate a supervising student, so he could directly take the provincial exam.

Qin Chuan handed in the paper and left. He just noticed that the academic officer's reaction was a little strange. After thinking about it for a while, he understood:

Thinking about it, my handwriting is not much different from before I awakened, but it is more neat and powerful. If I have seen his county and government examination papers, I will probably be able to recognize them.

But Qin Chuan does not feel humbled by poverty. It is even more valuable to get along with him and have a solid foundation for advancement and retreat.

As soon as Qin Chuan handed in his paper, Huang Meng followed suit and didn't leave in a hurry.

Zheng Tu patted his chest and said, "I'll go do this for you early tomorrow morning. You just have to go to the exam during the day. Ying Ning and my wife will take care of it."

When all the candidates have arrived, the exam questions will be announced and the exam will officially begin.

Qin Chuan smiled and said: "Brother Zheng, I was just going to find you, but I didn't expect you to be here waiting for me."

Others recognized him as the head of the county and government examinations and said that Qin Chuan was born in a very poor family and came from a small rural village.

Qin Chuan, Zheng Tu and others spent the night in an open space near the vegetable market. Even if it was an open space, they had to pay. Of course, at three or four o'clock in the morning, there were vegetable vendors and butchers starting to prepare at the stalls.

Qin Chuan sat cross-legged and meditated one night and easily dealt with it.

So they all stayed away from each other and no one cared about them.

He thought that it must be the leader of the case who caused the trouble.

In addition to Wang Fu's inability to study, he was quite skilled in human relations.

The questions in this college examination are quite difficult. They consist of two essay questions, which are combined questions in the scientific examination. The angle of the questions is very tricky and weird.

The errand guarding the examination room nearby couldn't help but sigh,

Wang Fu clapped his hands and sighed, "Liu Xian is really like the ancients. I promise you, brother."

Soon it was time to enter. Surrounded by a crowd of servants, Wang Fu appeared on the stage.

Tixue read Huang Meng's paper again and asked Huang Meng softly: "Huang Meng, the person who handed in the paper just now is Qin Chuan."

As for helping Qin Chuan find a house, it is naturally convenient to do the two things at the same time.

Of course, Qin Chuan already had a way to make money in his mind, and he would just wait until the hospital tried it before he started working on it.

Qin Chuan smiled slightly: "Although Wang's House is good, it is not a place where I will stay forever. If Brother Zheng finishes selling meat today, please help me find a secluded house not far from the Fuxue Academy tomorrow, and wait until our trial is completed.

After that, I will rent it. I plan to live in the city for a long time in the future. I will worry about it now.”

When he saw Qin Chuan, he laughed loudly and said, "Liu Xian, let's enter the examination room together."

Wang Fu recognized the other party and knew that the other party was Huang Meng from the Huang family, so he whispered: "Liu Xian, don't pay attention to this person. Let's find a place first."

There are also people who revealed that Qin Chuan got the head of the case and offended the Huang family.

But in this college examination, it was impossible for him to give in. Otherwise, the article would not convince the public and would slap the face of the previous county magistrate and prefect.

After a while, the housekeeper fetched a bookcase. It was made of rosewood. It was exquisitely made, deep in color, and had its own fragrance. When traveling in the wild, you would not be bitten by many mosquitoes even if you carried it on your back. Moreover, there were hidden tricks inside.

, equipped with poles and curtains to protect from sun and rain, multi-purpose.

As an immortal, he doesn't want to cause trouble, but he's not afraid of it either.

"Today's young people are too snobbish. After all, everyone is just a reference. They don't use any hypocritical politeness, and they don't even bother to be perfunctory."

But in the examination room, someone actually arrived before the two of them.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they left the gate of the Wang family, Zheng Tu and his wife appeared together with their two apprentices, surrounded by a wooden donkey cart selling meat.

It's early August now, the night is cool and breezy, but it's not too cold yet.

Qin Chuan felt at ease. After seeing the incident of the person coming to the Qian Academy, he was afraid that he had something to do with it.

Who entered the examination room first and who came last? Originally, they had to call their names and enter one by one. However, Wang Fu directly gave a silver ingot to the clerk who registered, so the two of them were called by name first and entered the examination room before anyone else.

He has been familiar with the classics for several lifetimes, and his accumulation in this lifetime is not small. With his detached thinking, he can write eight-legged essays with ease.

However, Wang Fu did not sigh, which was a bit unexpected by Qin Chuan.

What's more, Qin Chuan and Wang Fu got along very well, and they could stay overnight. All he had to do was ask, and Wang Fu would give Qin Chuan whatever orders he wanted.

Today is the college examination, and there are many candidates heading to the examination room. When they arrive outside the examination room, one or two hundred people have gathered.

The old man once said that friends with potential must give them full respect and help before they get rich. Being wise is easy to add to the cake, but difficult to provide help when the time is right.

I feel more and more that this brother who is the head of the county examination and the government examination will definitely go further in the future in terms of fame and wealth.

Zheng Tu then smiled at Mrs. Zheng and said, "Hun, I said that although Brother Chuan is staying at the Wang's house, he will definitely come out to look for us today."

He can't afford to buy a house now, but with the money he has, he can still rent a separate and secluded house in the city. In Lingzhou City, the rent for houses not facing the street is generally not expensive.

Qin Chuan's ability to speak ancient poems was both unexpected and reasonable for Wang Fu. Because Qin Chuan was born in a rural area, no one in his family could point him to these details.

Zheng Tu wanted to sell meat in the city for a long time, so he naturally planned to rent a house. Of course, his goal was to open a butcher shop, preferably one facing the street.

"How do you know, sir?"

Ti Xue smiled slightly: "The child in Lingzhou Prefecture can only do better in writing than you. However, for the sake of the Huang family, I will let you be the head of the case for this college examination. It's just his

Article, I really can’t despise him, even if I am ranked below the first level, I will feel guilty.”

Huang Meng looked gloomy, "Sir, please let me take a look at his test paper."

Ti Xue then showed Qin Chuan's paper to Huang Meng. Huang Meng was known as a child prodigy. When he saw the paper, he glanced at the ten lines. After a moment, his expression turned pale.

"Sir, give him the head of the case."
