Chapter 146 Boy, pick up my footsteps and send them on!
"An, please don't be nervous. It doesn't matter if you don't do well in the exam. It will be the same if we wait for another three years. It's enough to have your eldest brother in our family. Don't put too much pressure on yourself!"
At the door of the county examination room, Feng Qing'an listened helplessly to a man wearing silk and satin, who was full of wealth and aura, grabbing her and talking nonstop.
There was naturally no nervousness on Feng Qing'an's face, but for the man in front of him, Feng Qing'an could clearly feel his palms shaking.
Although the wealth of the past three years has changed the man a lot, he still inevitably felt nervous when he personally sent his son to the entrance of the imperial examination room.
No one dared to laugh at such an embarrassment, because Feng Shouli did not come alone. He brought a dozen tall and strong long-term workers and followers to give the examination to his youngest son.
When the eldest son took part in the imperial examination, he was just a scrounger with no ability or time, so the eldest son had to go alone to participate. By the time the second son took part, he was already capable and naturally he would not stay any longer.
sit.
This excessive thoughtfulness actually made Feng Qing'an feel a little helpless, but fortunately, his father's thoughtfulness and care could only be limited to the county examination, and it was beyond his reach to participate in the government examination.
However, Feng Qing'an discovered with some subtle expression that his father actually hoped that he would fail in the county examination, which was different from others.
However, he can fail, but he will never fail in the county examination. This is a boy's examination, which is more basic. Basically, you can pass the examination if you study a little and work hard. There is no lack of talent.
If he can't even pass the examination for a mere child student, then he is a complete loser. If he fails in the county examination, it will be a joke. It's nothing for him alone, and I'm afraid his brother will be involved.
Feng Qingan could now see that at the gate of the county examination, other candidates and students who came to take the imperial examination were frequently looking at him, not only because of the entourage brought by his father, but more importantly, him.
A child who can still be called a general actor. Although he is taller and stronger than his peers, his immature appearance still reflects his extremely young age.
In just a moment, Feng Qing'an's identity was spread outside the gate of the county examination room. It was impossible to hide things in a small county town, so Feng Qing'an had become the focus of the crowd.
The younger brother of Lang, who won six consecutive prizes in the last term, his identity is enough for anyone to take him seriously, even if he is so young.
However, Feng Qing'an didn't pay much attention to these looks. He just waited quietly. When the door of the examination room opened, Feng Qing'an was naturally given the courtesy of everyone and became the first candidate to enter the examination room.
The personal belongings carried before entering the examination room must pass strict inspection. However, the yamen officials obviously knew Feng Qingan's identity. They just went through the formalities in a symbolic way and did not do much search on his belongings. Apparently, they believed that he could not be there.
Fraud in the imperial examination.
Entering the examination room, Feng Qingan met Old Master Zhang, who was vouching for his scientific participation, and then saw the county magistrate who came to speak. He could clearly feel that the county magistrate valued him very much, and his attitude was obviously different.
.
But Feng Qingan simply dealt with it, then sat down in his seat and prepared to answer the questions, because even the county magistrate was no different in nature from those who went to his home.
The examination process was lackluster, but it took quite a long time. There were four county examinations, each taking place from morning to evening, with an interval of two days. The main purpose was to let the examiners mark the test papers and then release the results. Only those who passed
Only those who participated in the previous exam can participate in the next exam, so it is not easy to complete four exams.
Although the time arrangement of the county examination is quite humane, such a long time interval is undoubtedly a kind of test and torture for the souls of the candidates. But not everyone can follow Feng Qing'an and watch the fun.
Be knowledgeable and go through the motions.
There are thousands of students in Yongning County, but I don't know how many of them hope to stand up through the imperial examination. Every time the results are released, Feng Qing'an can see that some people laugh, some cry bitterly, and all kinds of things are reflected under the results.
As for Feng Qing'an, even if he didn't put his mind into books, with the influence of his elder brother and the ability of photographic memory after practicing, the county examination was no problem for him, and he passed every exam.
It is the first case on the list.
He himself was not surprised by the results of the results, but his father Feng Shouli was as ecstatic as if he had passed the exam. From the first release of the results, there was a big banquet in the restaurant he ran.
Guests and merchants will not be charged any fees to celebrate.
And Feng Qingan's achievements, not surprisingly, caused a sensation in this small county town.
Three years ago, there was also a young man who was almost the same age as him, but no one noticed. He firmly held the position of leader of the case and won the first place in the subsequent examinations, winning six yuan in a row.
As two brothers who are both brothers, it is difficult for outsiders to compare. Feng Qing'an has just taken part in the imperial examination, and some people are already calling him the number one scholar. Some gambling houses even use this as a gimmick to attract people to place bets.
After the county examination, there were many frustrated people who were sad and crying. However, in the county inn, the successful students were celebrating, poetry and wine were taking advantage of their youth, and they were enjoying themselves, chanting and singing, so wantonly.
When Feng Qing'an returned to the restaurant run by her father, she was naturally the focus of the crowd, and many people came to congratulate her and want to make friends with her.
Feng Qing'an smiled at first, but after a day of dealing with it, he felt bored. Early the next morning, he left the restaurant and walked alone in Yongning County.
“It’s finally quiet!”
Although the stars holding the moon make people feel good, if they do this for a long time, they will eventually feel uncomfortable. The peace at this moment makes Feng Qingan feel more comfortable.
Unknowingly, Feng Qing'an walked to a river in the county and stopped. On the other side of the river, there was a young girl washing rice and a young daughter-in-law. Although her appearance was ordinary, the sound of this ordinary woman laughing and playing could not be heard.
, but it has a pleasant and fresh atmosphere of the mortal world, which can make people feel the beauty of the world.
"Look, the handsome young man on the other side is peeking at us!"
"How can you say I'm peeking? Isn't this blatant viewing?"
The atmosphere in Da Jin cannot be said to be very open. There are still various restrictions between men and women. Everyone is a lady, but ordinary people are not so particular about it. Nowadays, there are so many girls and wives on the shore, and they are not afraid of gossip.
Immediately, a group of young wives pointed at Feng Qingan, and some brave ones shouted directly at Feng Qingan,
"Xiao Langjun, what are you looking at? Could it be that you have taken a fancy to one of our sisters?"
"Young master, please don't look around. Those are already married. Why don't you take a look at my sister-in-law, who is unmarried in her 28th year, has good facial features, and is a good hand at washing and cooking!"
There was even a woman who talked to Feng Qing'an on the spot and recommended her sister-in-law. However, the girl on the side blushed with embarrassment and started fighting with her sister-in-law, making the women and girls nearby laugh.
"Sister Liu, you can tell at a glance that she is a scholar who took part in the imperial examination. This little girl is beyond your reach."
"How could it be possible? Look at how young this young master is. I'm afraid he came with the adults!"
"Hey, Xiaolangjun, are you a student who came to take the county exam a few days ago? Did you get the chance?"
A woman asked Feng Qingan across a river.
"Fortunate to be on the list, Tian is the head of the case!"
Feng Qing'an replied with a smile. If he were an ordinary boy, he would have fled amidst the teasing of the women, but at this moment he was calm and composed, his face as if the spring breeze was blowing.
"Ah, the head of the first-class case, isn't this the number one scholar in Yongning County?"
A woman screamed in surprise. Feng Qingan never expected that his reputation was such that even women from ordinary families had heard about it. Although the imperial examination was a big event, it was only for those who participated in it.
Others can do whatever they have to do without any influence.
"I'm not even a child, so I can't be considered a top scholar!"
Feng Qingan explained.
"But I heard someone from my family say that the brother of the top case in this county this year is the number one scholar in Yongkang in the 28th year!"
The originally noisy and bustling river bank became quiet almost instantly. Many women and girls looked at each other in confusion. However, after a moment, the bustling river bank just now fell silent. There was no one left, except for the helpless young man on the other bank.
"Let you talk more!"
Feng Qing'an gave his mouth a gentle tap, and the smoke and fire in the world that he just felt was gone in the blink of an eye with his mouth.
He himself could not care less, but he didn't dare to care less about the people facing him. The moment his brother passed the exam, his family could no longer be regarded as ordinary people, and there was a gap between them and ordinary people.
"well!"
Feng Qing'an sighed and prepared to leave. The interest he had just in visiting the city was gone now.
But at this moment,
Snap!
A cloth shoe that was covered with patches and had a faint sour smell fell not far from Feng Qingan's feet, and then he heard an old voice commanding him,
"Little boy, pick up my shoes and send them on!"
Feng Qing'an looked for a voice, and immediately saw an old man wearing coarse linen clothes standing on the stone bridge not far away, looking down at him, with an expression that a poor person would never have.
An arrogant look.
"Boy, why don't you hurry up and take me to my feet?"
Seeing Feng Qing'an look over at the old man who seemed to be full of poverty, he immediately scolded him.
Feng Qing'an lowered his head and glanced at the rag shoes, which had dirt stuck to the soles of their feet and seemed to still emit a foul smell. Then he looked left and right. The passers-by turned a blind eye to the shoes, and no one looked there.
"You boy, don't look any further. I am talking about you. I think you are a scholar. Could it be that the sage's instructions have been read into a dog's belly? How dare you turn a deaf ear to an elder's request!"
The old man's noisy voice sounded again. Feng Qing'an raised his head and looked at him steadily. He suddenly smiled and walked to the broken boots. Just when the old man was about to show an approving smile, his right leg curled back, then fell down and flew up.
With one kick, the broken boots were kicked dozens of feet away.
"..."
Seeing this completely unexpected scene, the old man's palm that had just been stroking his beard suddenly froze, and his eyes widened slightly, but the next moment he reacted, his bright face suddenly turned red, he blew his beard, glared, and yelled angrily,
"Huangkou kid, what are you doing?"
But unexpectedly, Feng Qingan ignored the scolding and turned a deaf ear. He walked in the direction where he kicked his shoes away. He walked a hundred steps again and kicked out again, kicking out dozens of broken boots again.
ten feet.
Seeing Feng Qing'an's behavior that looked like Cuju, the old man in coarse linen clothes raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at Feng Qing'an who was walking further and further away. For a moment, he was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
"Hahaha, Mr. Jin Yuan, your climbing shoes were kicked away by that kid, why don't you go and get them back?"
A mocking laugh came from beside the old man. The old man's red face suddenly darkened, and he glared angrily at the fortune teller who came holding a long banner.
"Is this excitement good to see?"
"Hahaha, it's so interesting. Such an interesting story. The next time I get together with Cang Yunzi and others, I will definitely tell them about it, and I will definitely laugh at you!"
The fortune-telling Taoist priest was laughing so hard on the stone bridge that he had no manners to speak of. However, the passers-by walking on the stone bridge acted as if the Taoist priest did not exist, and no one even cast a glance at him.
"Young-mouthed kid, ignorant brat, blind and blind!"
Seeing the acquaintance of the fortune teller laughing at him, the old man was so angry that he cursed. The scene that just happened was something he had never expected.
Anyone with a little bit of intelligence can see such a simple test. As long as he calms down a little and helps him put on his boots, he will have the opportunity to give it to him.
It was so pitiful that he prepared two volumes of Taoist scriptures, but in the end, the child turned around and kicked away the boots he had thrown down. It didn't matter that he kicked them away, but he walked over and continued to kick them. It was simply too much of a lie.
"Hahaha, Mr. Jin Yuan, how can you blame Mr. Feng? It is clearly because you are old and disrespectful, and you are bossing around with your arrogance. How can you allow your youthful spirit to be so arrogant?"
The Taoist fortune teller stood up straight, wiped the tears from laughter from his eyes, said a few words, and then leaned back and forth again. He did not expect the current scene, but it really opened his eyes.
"I just gave him a try. How could I have imagined that this boy is so incompetent? He is so beautiful on the outside but so rotten inside. He has neither the wisdom to recognize people nor the tolerance to tolerate them. He will definitely achieve nothing in the future!"
Komirugong was still cursing, he was really angry.
"Kong Zoukong, this is a fallacy. Looking at this young man, I am afraid that I have already seen your origins, so I responded like this. It is just a response to your rudeness!"
The fortune teller did not agree with Mr. Huang's opinion, but his words showed his admiration for the young man.
"Even though I was rude, but I am also an elder, why didn't you obey my wishes? Did the Confucian saints he read teach you to kick away the shoes of the elderly?"
Mr. Huang Zangong was not convinced. It would be fine if the young man was stupid and ignorant, and could not see the real person face to face. But if he did this after seeing it, wouldn't it be a clear sign that he looked down on him?
