Chapter 215 Test questions leaked! The city is full of storms!
Cai You didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly took it with both hands. After taking a careful look, he smiled and said, "Thanks to Mr. Taishan. With this year's test questions, my father and the others can be free."
Song Qiaonian glanced at him with a smile, and then shook his head: "Even without me, your father and the others can still know the test questions."
The three questions were all asked by Cai Jing and the others, how could people not know? The worst case scenario is to give them all three questions at once, and one of them will always win.
Cai You said this just to flatter Song Qiaonian.
Of course, the father-in-law just accepted the flattery, and the more he looked at his son-in-law, the happier he became.
Cai You hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "Master Taishan, many people have come to my door these days, asking my father for help."
"Now that I have the test questions, my son-in-law has a good idea. However, I really don't understand who should help, who should not help, and how to help. I would also like to ask Mr. Taishan to spare no effort and give me some guidance."
"well."
Song Qiaonian smiled even more happily.
This is not asking for advice, this is clearly giving up power!
Before Cai Jing went to the Tribute Courtyard, he must have told his son everything he should pay attention to, what he should do, and what he should not do. But now Cai You still comes to ask Song Qiaonian for advice, and the meaning behind his words must be based on him.
This is clearly a sign of respect for his father-in-law.
For his son-in-law to be able to do this, Song Qiaonian felt as sweet as drinking honey.
"Guidance doesn't count. We just discuss it together."
Song Qiaonian stood up and walked towards Cai Jing's study with Cai You.

From the day the examiners were locked into the Gongyuan, the candidates in the capital knew that the examination was getting closer.
No matter how generous I am in promoting people in my daily life, now I will review the article several times at home even if it is just to show off.
But everyone still didn't expect that the pace of the general examination was so fast. It felt like it was only yesterday that the examiner entered the Gongyuan, but when I heard others talking about it today, it was only five days before the general examination.
Now everyone didn't dare to take it lightly. Except for a few people, almost everyone became nervous.
In fact, there are generally two opinions among the people about the difficulty of becoming a Jinshi.
One is that "gold is the best for people, and silver is the best", which means that it is actually easier to pass the Jinshi exam than to be the best candidate.
This is also well-founded, because the ratio of candidates for imperial examinations is generally thirty to one, but for Jinshi, the ratio is only about ten to fifteen to one, and the competitiveness is less than half of that of candidates for imperial examinations.
Isn’t this simple??
But from the perspective of real insiders, if you really think that Jinshi is easier to pass than Juren, then you are totally wrong.
There is also a saying in the folk: a person who passes the imperial examination depends on talent and learning, and a person who passes the imperial examination depends on luck.
As for what this good fortune is, it may be luck, it may be connections, and sometimes it may be money...
Many times, many candidates do not understand this sentence.
But now that there was a rumbling in the capital, they understood.
This time, I caught up with good fortune.
Beijing, Yanfu.
Zheng Guan sneaked to Yan Zhenqing's house with a book in his arms.
"Brother Yan, look quickly."
Zheng Guan took out the book, pulled out a piece of paper from the pages, and threw the book aside numbly.
Seeing him like this, Yan Zhenqing was stunned for a moment, then looked at the piece of paper and asked tentatively: "What are the questions for the general examination?"
Zheng Guan gave a thumbs up: "I didn't expect that even you knew about it."
These words are not meant to belittle Yan Zhenqing, but even Yan Zhenqing, a closed-door homebody who likes to study at home, knows this. So how widely should this news be spread?
Both of them were silent for a while. Regardless of whether this thing is true or false, the fact that the test questions are sold so hot can already explain something.
You must want too many people.
They don’t think about polishing their knowledge, but think about taking advantage of opportunities and exploiting every corner. Is this still the country’s talent show?
After a while, Zheng Guan broke the silence and put the test questions on the table with emotion: "No matter what, Brother Yan, let's take a look first. The questions this time are quite interesting."
Yan Zhenqing was stunned and thought to himself, shouldn't the test questions be judged by their accuracy? How could it still be interesting?
He subconsciously reached out and picked up the test questions on the table.
Zheng Guan continued to sigh with emotion: "The price the boy in the restaurant asked for was really bad. He asked me for five hundred taels of silver in one fell swoop."
Yan Zhenqing had already picked up the paper, but when he heard this, he still trembled and almost threw away the test questions in his hand.
After getting along with Zheng Guan for so long, he naturally understood that Zheng Guan was not a stingy person, and he certainly did not say this just to share the money for the test with him.
"So expensive?"
Yan Zhenqing was speechless for a while. After regaining consciousness, he organized his words and looked at Zheng Guan with pity: "Brother Zheng, you are from Xingyang. You may not know the situation here in the capital."
"Before the exams for each subject, I have some unscrupulous people selling test questions in the capital. But those selling questions are all scammers. They made up the questions themselves and cannot take them seriously."
This is also the reason why Yan Zhenqing looked at this question without any scruples, because from beginning to end, he never regarded this as a proficiency test question.
"That's different!"
Zheng Guan waved his hand: "I also know that there were people who sold questions in previous years, but those people only asked for twenty or fifty taels, but this year the number has increased tenfold!"
"I swore to you that I would definitely keep it true! Otherwise, I'll refund you!"
"Refund guaranteed?"
Yan Zhenqing laughed in surprise, and looked at him helplessly: "When the general examination is over, who will you go to to withdraw? Is there anyone you can find?"
"You don't understand this."
Zheng Guan glanced at him with a smile, and then whispered: "The person selling the questions this time is none other than Juren, who is taking the exam with us!"
"What??"
This time Yan Zhenqing was really shocked: "Even the exam question is fake?"
Zheng Guan nodded solemnly: "I heard that these people also bought the questions from others at high prices. They wanted to recoup their losses and make some money at the same time, so they came out to sell the questions."
Since he is lifting people, he shouldn't be able to escape.
Yan Zhenqing's expression turned serious. He was so confident. Could it be that this question was true?
Thinking of this, he subconsciously put his hand that had just picked up the test questions back on the table.
"Look at it quickly!"
Seeing him put it back again, Zheng Guan suddenly became unhappy: "I spent a lot of money to buy this. How many people outside want to see it but can't."
Yan Zhenqing also understood why he was unhappy.
This is worrying.
For top academics like the two of them, not only is it not a good thing to know how to send out the test questions in advance, it is actually a bad thing.
Just one sentence: There is no gap between you and ordinary candidates!
It doesn’t reflect the level of a top student!
You might have won a lot of money, but if you get messed up by this leaky question, you might not win.
Yan Zhenqing picked up the test questions and looked at them. After pondering for a while, he still shook his head: "There are thousands of fake questions like this every year, and I can't see anything."
Zheng Guan scratched his head: "Then let's go ask Brother Li? Isn't he very well-connected in the court?"
