It is now the autumn period, and the provincial examination has always been the focus of the whole city, so the news that Xu Jin was appointed by the emperor to be the leader of Jiangxi Province immediately swept through the whole city like a whirlwind, especially the restaurants and inns where the candidates gathered, and it immediately caused a stir.

Yes. Some people are surprised and stunned, some are envious and jealous, but most candidates are extremely angry.

It's no wonder that Xu Jin had just finished the first round of the provincial examination, and he had already taken Jieyuan in advance. Everyone was a student who studied hard, so why did he, Xu Jin, come out on top without taking an exam?

Guixiang Inn.

A group of scholars who had just finished the first session of the provincial examination were gathering in the lobby and discussing with indignation.

"It's unreasonable. Xu Sanyuan won the first place in the government before he was dismissed. His name is unfair and unjust. I, Zhou Xu of Anfu County, do not accept it!"

"What Brother Zhou said is absolutely true. Xu Ziqian, the name of Jieyuan Na, is not justified, so how can he convince the public? Xiao Wan in Xia Jishui County is not convinced!"

"Exactly, Gong is not convinced either."

"Everyone, Huang Dacan, Yiyang County, to be fair, the traitor King Ning suddenly rebelled at the beginning of the year and massacred Nanchang officials. He imprisoned Nanchang officials. Xu Kui, the great master of Tiexue, died for justice, and Governor Sun was seriously injured and dying. Xu Ziqian was ordered to guard at the critical moment.

Qianshan County withstood the advance of the bandit general Wu Sanba, saving Shangrao, Yushan, and Guangfeng counties from war. Later, Xu Ziqian led his army to fight bloody battles with the bandits for seven days and seven nights, and finally won with a small number of soldiers.

He defeated tens of thousands of traitors and recaptured Yiyang, Yingtan, Yujiang, Jinxian and other prefectures and counties. I wonder if such a great achievement does not deserve the honor of Jieyuan?"

Zhou Xu Dayi said solemnly: "Zhou does not deny Xu Sanyuan's contribution, but the imperial examination selects talents for the country, and the emphasis is on literary talent. How can it be judged on martial arts?"

Xiao Wan from Jishui nodded in agreement: "Brother Zhou's words hit the nail on the head. Xu Sanyuan's meritorious service is indeed worthy of reward. We have no objection if he is promoted to an official position, but it is not appropriate for the emperor to reward him based on his imperial examination merit."

"Yes, the imperial examination is for scholars all over the world. How can the honors of the imperial examination be awarded to each other privately? If Xu Sanyuan had real talent and practical knowledge, he could have resigned from the emperor's appointment and quit after three years. Based on his true ability, he could have won the rural examination interpretation

Yuan."

Huang Dacan frowned and said: "Brother Gong, what you are saying is so heartbreaking. Xu Sanyuan is a boy who took the exam for Xiao Sanyuan. His talent is obvious to all. If he hadn't injured his hand and couldn't finish the exam this time, passing the provincial examination would be a piece of cake. If nothing else, it's just

The song "Linjiang Immortal" performed at Tengwang Pavilion last year was beyond your reach."

Gong Xiang blushed and retorted: "Poetry is a small way, writing is the main road. Isn't it ridiculous to use poetry to judge the superiority in the imperial examination competition?"

Huang Dacan said with consternation: "Xu Sanyuan can pick off boys to test Xiao Sanyuan, which shows that his writing skills are extraordinary. If you are not convinced, you can openly ask Xu Sanyuan for advice at the Luming Banquet, and talk about people's rights and wrongs behind their backs. You are not a gentleman."

What you did!"

Zhou Xu said proudly: "As you wish, if Xu Sanyuan dares to come to the Luming Banquet, Zhou will definitely question and ask for advice in person!"

"Brother Zhou Xu is a real warrior, including Gong!"

"Xiao also joins in the fun!"

In addition to the Guixiang Inn, the scholars in all the major inns in the city were discussing the fact that Xu Jin was appointed as the candidate for the provincial examination. It was just one stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and Xu Jin was quickly swept into the forefront of public opinion.

Of course, these scholars could only vent their dissatisfaction verbally. The emperor gave the golden seal, and Xu Jin was determined to be the provincial candidate for the provincial examination. However, there were many unconvinced scholars like Zhou Xu, Gong Xiang, and Xiao Wan.

Mao Zujin prepared to "teach" Xu Jin at the Luming Banquet and let him give him a hard fight. The premise is that they have the ability to pass the provincial examination, because only by passing the provincial examination can they be eligible to participate in the Luming Banquet.

…

On August 25th, the results of the Jimaoke Provincial Examination in the 14th year of Zhengde were finally released. The whole city of Nanchang was boiling again, and all the major restaurants were occupied by the candidates. Celebration banquets and farewell drinks were held one after another, and the high school students

Some were ecstatic, some were devastated when they failed, and some even cried and got drunk.

Of course, what attracted the most attention was the deer-minging banquet held at the governor's office the day after the provincial examination results were released. Because before the examination, Zhou Xu from Anfu, Xiao Wan from Jishui, and Gong Xiang from Qingjiang, who had threatened to question Xu Sanyuan in person, all passed the examination.

Obtained the qualification to participate in the Luming Banquet. Obviously, if Xu Sanyuan attends the Luming Banquet tomorrow, there will be a "Dragon Fight".

On August 26, Xu Jin finished bathing and put on a brand new Jurenzhijia (a kind of slanted collar, wide-sleeved shirt) and a square scarf under the service of his lovely wife and beautiful maid.

After two months of recovery, the injury on Xu Jin's right hand has basically healed, but he can't use force yet. However, the splint used to set the bone has been removed, and the sixteen-year-old boy wearing a straight jacket looks even more handsome and tall.

Xie Xiaowan looked at her husband-in-law, her black grape-like eyes bent into cute moon buds with joy. She was both proud and sweet. In just two years, her husband-in-law had already become a master of civil engineering. Recalling the embarrassing situation of the family with only four walls, it felt like it was a lifetime ago.

.

If passing the exam to become a scholar is the only way to break away from the common people and officially become a scholar, then the exam is a watershed that changes one's destiny, from being a subordinate to a superior.

Because you have obtained the title of Juren, you can go directly to the examination, and you don't have to take the annual exam every year like a scholar, and you can be exempted from various taxes. The nearby villagers will rush to attach their fields to the name of the Juren, so the Juren can earn a very considerable income.

, so there has always been a saying that there are only poor talents, not all the people.

In addition, the juren are also qualified to become scholars and officials. If the juren does not want to continue to take the examination, they can report to the government. When there is a vacancy, they can fill the vacancy and become an official. If they are lucky, they can become a county master.

Xu Jin dressed up under the service of Xie Xiaowan and Yue'er, walked out of the inner room, and immediately felt two pairs of beautiful eyes looking at him.

Fei Ruyi's beautiful eyes looked at Xu Lang who was dressed in a civil servant's uniform. Yi Xi's pretty face was full of joy and pride. Fei Jixiang lowered his head with a blush. The handsome "little pretty face" with red lips and white teeth in front of him really impressed the girl.

Blushing capital.

Fei Ruyi took a few steps forward, tidied Xu Jin's clothes gently, and said a little worriedly: "Mr. Xu, otherwise you won't be able to participate in the Deer Ming Banquet!"

Xu Jin has become the focus of public opinion in the city these days. Naturally, all the girls have heard about it. They heard that someone is planning to attack Xu Jin at the Luming Banquet, so Fei Ruyi is a little worried.

Xu Jin smiled and said: "Heavy snow weighs on the green pine trees, and the pine trees are tall and straight. You must know that the pine trees are noble and pure until the snow melts."

Xie Xiaowan, Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang all shined. Xie Xiaowan has been reading and literacy, especially in the few months she spent with Fei Ruyi, her progress was quite rapid. It may be difficult for her to write poetry, but her appreciation ability is still there.

Already have it.

Fei Ruyi's eyes were filled with wonder, and he couldn't help but think of two other lines from Xu Jin's poems: "Looking at the strong pines in the dim dusk, and flying across the chaotic clouds calmly." When Wu Sanba's army pressed on the city, Xu Lang was able to deal with it calmly, let alone Ju.

There were so many questions about him, and with Xu Lang's talent and learning, I felt it was unnecessary to worry.

Under the watch of the girls, Xu Jin left the house with Dabao and Erniu, and calmly went to the governor's Yamen to attend the deer roaring banquet.

In fact, Xu Jin could have used the injury on his hand as an excuse not to attend the Lu Ming Banquet, but he could not escape the first day of the junior high school, but he could not escape the fifteenth day. The hand-picked Jie Yuan was the hand-picked Jie Yuan after all. After all, there was something missing.

Confidence, the authority of the emperor cannot suppress the hearts and minds of scholars all over the world.

So Xu Jin did not choose to escape, but faced the difficulties. Today he must stop the mouths of scholars all over the world with a hearty and pure victory.
