Su Yizhao was about to answer, but Su Wenqing said again: "Since you got first place in the first exam, you must be very confident in the subsequent exams. You must take the exam well, and it is not impossible for the county chief to think about it.
It's also a bit honorable for my father to go out to meet friends."
Seeing Su Wenqing's smiling face and shining eyes, Su Yizhao was suddenly speechless.
After a long while, she said: "Son, try your best!"
The case occurred the day before yesterday, and Su Yizhao appeared outside the examination shed again early the next morning.
Today is the first exam, and the top ten candidates will have to sit in the hall, which means they will sit in the hall not far from the examiner.
So Su Yizhao changed his residence again today, and sat down with Su Yijue at the lower end of the examiner's desk.
Magistrate Liao still smiled and nodded at Su Yizhao, which made Su Yizhao even more puzzled.
Is it possible that Magistrate Liao and Cheap Daddy are good friends? But Su Yiliang is Su Wenqing's legitimate son, why can't he be so kind and friendly?
Unable to figure out what kind of friendship he could have with the prefect, Su Yizhao simply ignored him.
Anyway, just be respectful. It is not advisable to have close contact with the examiner during the exam, otherwise you will be suspected of cheating.
Su Yizhao took a look at today's paper and found that there were still ten sutras in front of it.
It seems that the officials who issued the papers attached great importance to the basics, but for Su Yizhao, such questions were simply a piece of cake.
Next is a four-letter title: "Uncle Wenzi's minister, the official, was born, and he and Wenzi were promoted to all the Dukes."
Su Yizhao thought for a moment and had an idea in his mind.
This question comes from the "Analects of Confucius·Xianwen" chapter, but today's question is quite satisfactory, which really surprised Su Yizhao.
She looked at the next question, which was a sutra question.
"Is that why a gentleman is safe and never forgets danger?"
Su Yizhao immediately thought that this was from the "Book of Changes·Xici". The original text is: "Therefore, a gentleman is safe but does not forget danger, survives but does not forget death, governs without forgetting propriety, so that his body is safe and the country can be protected.
.”
Once you remember the source, it is not difficult to solve the problem.
Su Yizhao still wrote the answers on scratch paper first and then copied them.
Magistrate Liao looked at Su Yizhao and was a little stunned. This boy was indeed very talented.
Unexpectedly, bad bamboos will produce good bamboo shoots. For a prodigal like Su Wenqing, this son is actually well-educated.
But then he thought of Su Yiliang, his legitimate son from the fourth house, and couldn't help but shook his head.
This child's performance is a bit mediocre, which shows that talent is still the most important thing.
With the experience from the last time, it took Su Yizhao less than an hour to write the sutra today before he started writing the four books question.
"It is a good act of a great official to recommend ministers of private households to ministers of the public court."
This was Su Yizhao's explanation of the topic, and then he started to take up the topic, "When it comes to serving ministers, no king should be the first to recommend talents. Officials know that their ministers are worthy and will not recommend them..."
While writing, Su Yizhao murmured in his heart.
How good would it be to write in vernacular? These things are indeed not as easy to understand as vernacular.
It's just that the scientific examination system is like this. Everyone just goes with the flow, and they can't escape the vulgarity.
The question was written quickly. Su Yizhao looked at it and found that there were no typos, but there was a small paragraph in the middle that needed polishing.
I had no choice but to write three hundred words. I was always eloquent, so I could only delete some.
After crossing out the in-depth discussion text, Su Yizhao wrote the last part about the buttocks, then read it again, and then nodded.
Su Yizhao copied it again on the draft paper to make sure there were no errors, and then copied it onto the paper.
This is her habit, so she must be careful. If she copies according to what she has corrected before, she may make mistakes.
After I finished copying this article, it was time to eat.
It’s still sauced beef, but today’s staple food is crystal cake and heyi pancake.
Su Yizhao refused the extra sauced pork elbow prepared by the kitchen. He was here for the exam, and the food he ate was greasy and stained the paper. How could this be allowed?
Furthermore, if you have a bad stomach, how can you take the exam?
She picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up the beef, when she glanced across the way inadvertently.
Huh? It’s actually the same candidate I faced last time?
That’s right! So many candidates have been kicked off the exam, and their previous seat numbers have to be rearranged.
Su Yizhao only felt that they were destined, so he smiled at the other party.
Unexpectedly, the other party frowned and seemed to have encountered a problem, but he actually passed the first game.
The examinee opposite saw that Su Yizhao had changed his pastries today and his lips and teeth were fragrant after eating them. He couldn't help but swallow again.
He bitterly took a bite of the white-flour steamed bun in his hand, feeling that the white-flour steamed bun he had spent a huge sum of money to buy today no longer tasted good at all.
How could Su Yizhao know what they were thinking? She just saw that the other side had also changed their taste today, and she immediately felt that it was a wise move for her to change her taste.
Su Yizhao answered the last sutra question very easily. It only took her an hour in the afternoon to finish it.
After checking the paper carefully twice, Su Yizhao rang the bell again.
All the students couldn't help but raise their heads from their papers and took a look outside the dormitory.
I saw that the sun was in the middle of the sky and showed no sign of setting.
"Needless to say, it must be Su Yizhao again! I didn't expect him to be earlier every time. I haven't finished writing the four book questions yet!"
Everyone couldn't help but feel a burst of resentment in their hearts, and then they immersed themselves in writing even harder.
Su Yizhao didn't care what these people thought. After the papers were sealed and taken away, she picked up the examination basket and walked out of the dragon gate.
Two days later, early in the morning, the list for the second game was released. This time, Su Yizhao and the others were just waiting in the teahouse for the report.
"Alas! Su Yizhao is still number one on the list this time. I have to say that this guy does have some abilities."
Some candidates couldn't help but feel filled with emotion when they saw that the results remained unchanged.
"Haven't you heard? Su Yizhao has a great reputation in the capital! The mountain chief of the academy wanted to accept him as his disciple, but it was a pity that Su Yizhao had already accepted Master Li as his disciple at that time. The mountain chief was still rude and heartbroken!"
"Are you talking about the mountain chief of Fengtian Academy?" someone asked in shock.
"Isn't it? It's the former Grand Tutor, Mr. Zhu!" someone said, clicking his tongue.
"This Lord Zhu was the mentor of the current emperor before he ascended the throne! The emperor still respects him very much. Although he has become an official, he often walks in the imperial study."
This man was shocked, pulled the man who just spoke, and said in disbelief.
"There were rumors before that he didn't want to accept any more disciples, but I didn't expect that he would be tempted. If he accepts Su Yizhao, he will be a closed disciple! Are he and the emperor brothers? This?"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense! But it's Su Yizhao who didn't have the blessing, so he chose Master Li as his teacher. It's really a pity."
This man said it was a pity, but his face was full of gloating.
"However, Mr. Zhu's eldest son is the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he claims to be a pure minister. Is it possible that the Zhu family has some ideas?" Someone suddenly said.
Everyone was puzzled after hearing this, "What thoughts can the Zhu family have? What does it have to do with this matter?"
