Chapter 71: Searching for No Encounters, Falling in the Water
(Thanks to book friends "Dongfang Ningyun", "Wuheng Suiyi", "Dongting Feng", "Mo Xuanyi", "Tank Xiao", "I am indeed a little handsome", etc. There were 20 people rewarding this week, which was really unexpected. After midnight, "Slaying Evil" will usher in the last two days of public period, and it will be officially launched at midnight on October 1st. The time to witness life and death has come. I don't know how many readers will be subscribed by then and how many monthly tickets will be obtained. I am really unsure and very nervous. It's the same old saying, if you like it, please support it. The Southern Dynasty will work hard to update it. Thank you everyone!)
The news that Chen Sanlang's first in the scientific examination caused quite a stir at Nanyang College. It was a rare thing for a new scholar to be able to take the scientific examination back then, let alone the first place?
It's simply unheard of.
But soon, there was a rumor that Chen Sanlang, the first one, was worth discussing, and it must have been obtained by using dirty means and using Du Xuezheng's approach.
Some people also say that it is just a scientific test, and the ranking has nothing to do with the provincial examination. So what if you are the first? When you go to the provincial examination, you will be defeated and end up in vain.
The provincial examination is the real big test.
"First? Hey, the means are really not covered. Do you want me to be proud?"
Many comments and comments are like a breeze blowing, without adding to the heart. Chen Sanlang naturally understood in his heart that the other party was trying hard to promote the momentum, but fortunately he would win the highest level in the shortest time. Just like raising pigs, he devoted himself to feeding very generously in the early stage, and when he was fattened, he would immediately show off his knife.
If it were someone else, they would probably be complacent because they were appreciated by the scholar-officials. They would quickly burn incense to worship their ancestors, and kill pigs and return to the gods.
In the study, Chen Sanlang wrote a lot and wrote two sentences on the paper: "I hate you every year to press the golden thread and make wedding clothes for others."
After looking at it, I was not very satisfied and wrote a few more sentences: "Zhou Lang's brilliant plan to help the world, and he lost his wife and his army."
After a while, I wrote another picture: "I was too smart to do everything in my mind, but I lost my life."
After writing, I threw the pen and laughed.
Xu? He heard the sound and came, not sure why.
The provincial examination is held every three years, and each session is basically scheduled around August, so it is also called "Autumn Examination". As for the examination room, you have to go to the local prefectures and counties to take the exam.
Now it's just May, and there are still three months left before August, but under normal circumstances, I will definitely go to Yangzhou one month in advance. After doing so, the time cannot be said to be too abundant. Many matters must be handled in advance.
In fact, the direction of the development of things has exceeded the original trajectory. Chen Sanlang's plan was not like this. Otherwise, he would not have rented a house for one year in Nanyang Mansion. However, in life, he has no choice but to do so. In many cases, how can he follow the steps?
The leaves will swing with the wind, and the mud and sand will be swept by water, just like that.
Chen Sanlang decided to go to Taoranzhuang as an appointment to visit Zhou Fencao.
Taoran Village is not in the city, but at the foot of the mountain beyond the southeast of Nanyang Prefecture. There are green trees and fields connected, and the sound of chickens and dogs are heard one after another. From time to time, busy farmers can be seen shuttle and go, carrying or carrying loads, and each holding the farm tools to work.
A path as wide as two meters winds out, and at the end of the road is a large manor.
Chen Sanlang and Xu? Walking on the road, looking around, secretly admiring in their hearts: This large area should all belong to Taoranzhuang, with a strong layout and a broad and brightness; water conservancy repairs are well-organized; farmers are active and vigorous. From this, it can be seen that this week, the Cao Cao is indeed a talent with a strong foundation.
It's a pity that such talents do not go to office and contribute to the country.
Inexplicably, Chen Sanlang had an idea in his mind: If he could leap over the dragon gate in the future and turn into a dragon and soar, he would definitely ask Zhou Fencao to come out of the mountain to assist...
This idea abruptly and absurdly. After all, he is just a mere scholar now. Zhou Fencao is a Jinshi, a senior and a young man, and the status difference is really huge.
"Hey!"
I laughed at myself and put aside some messy thoughts.
When I arrived at the village, I reported to my house and asked the door to inform me. Unexpectedly, the door answered very politely: "Mr. Chen was unfortunately here, and my master left yesterday."
Chen Sanlang said "Ah": "Where did you go to divide Cao Gong?"
"Either traveling to the mountains or playing in the water. There is nowhere to be seen between the mountains and rivers, but I don't know it."
As the saying goes, "the upper part works, the lower part works." The master is elegant, and the servants are also very literary and learn to speak in a tone.
Chen Sanlang asked again: "When will he come back?"
Menzi shook his head: "It may be three to five days, or ten days and half a month, and there is no regularity."
Zhou Fencao went out this time to avoid Du Yinyan.
Chen Sanlang sighed and pondered for a moment: "Can I leave a note for your master?"
"Of course, please write in the beginning."
"Haha, no need to worry, just here."
As he said, from the book, he took out the four treasures of the study and saw a large bluestone beside the door, which was a horse-mounted stone. He spread the paper and started writing it in a flash. He wrote it in a moment, blowing the ink and handing it to the door: "I'll give it to your master."
The disciple agreed immediately.
I didn't meet you when I searched for it, so I went home.
On the way, Xu? asked curiously: "Sanlang, what message did you write?"
Chen Sanlang said: "Just a few gossips."
Xu? He stopped asking and suddenly said, "When will we go back to Jingxian?"
It is a big event for Chen Sanlang to obtain the qualification for the provincial examination in the current year. He must go home and say goodbye to his mother.
"Go back next month."
Being able to refer to the provincial examination is an opportunity for me. I have to hurry up and study the literary theory while I have time. Although I am suspected of sharpening my guns in the face of battle, my own articles are already well done and quite accurate. What I need to pay attention to at present are some more subtle details.
"So long...well, why don't I go back first?"
Xu? I'm a little worried about my father.
"Okay, then be careful all the way."
"Hehe, who dares to mess with me? Fight and kick."
Xu?'s smile is very bright.
In July, I went to Yangzhou to take the provincial examination. Xu? I didn't live in the capital city, so the house I originally rented became redundant. At least one year in the contract was completely wasted. Fortunately, I only paid three months of rent at the beginning and didn't lose much.
Find the landlord and explain to him to check out in July.
The landlord was a little unhappy when he heard this. However, Chen Sanlang was about to take the provincial examination. He was not good. He jumped over the dragon gate and passed the imperial examination. He transformed brilliantly, but it was not suitable for offending him. He thought that he could earn half a month's rent for nothing, and after the house was vacant, he could rent it to someone else, so he smiled and agreed.
Early the next morning, Chen Sanlang sent Xu to the pier to take a boat and waved goodbye. He felt quite melancholy in his heart, so he didn't rush to return to the city, but walked along the riverside and watched the river view. The trees on the shore were lush, birds were singing and flowers were fragrant; sails on the river flowed, and the waves were rolling.
Before I knew it, I walked out a section of the road. There was a turn in front of me and there was a tributary forming a water bay, and there was no one around.
Seeing the clear water bay and fish swimming, when I approached, I was hit by the cool water vapor on my face, and I felt refreshed and refreshed. A breath in my body suddenly became ready to jump into the water and enjoy the pleasure!
It is "The True Dragon Water Rewarding Art"!
I have been deeply impressed for a while and have some insights. At least there is no big problem at the theoretical level. I only lack real practice at the moment.
So now, isn’t it a good opportunity?
Chen Sanlang looked around and saw that there was no outsider present, so he couldn't hold back and immediately used the magic tricks and flew into the fish and jumped into the water bay.
With a plop, a big splash of water was stirred up on the water surface. Chen Daxiu fell into the water, his clothes were soaked, and he was very embarrassed.
Chapter completed!
