Everyone was surprised when they saw the results.

They didn't expect that all of them would be on the list.

Next comes the third exam: the Provincial Examination

An examination is held every three years in various state capitals (including Kyoto). It is also called Qiu Wei because it is held on the ninth, twelfth and fifteenth days of the eighth lunar month in autumn.

The examiner is appointed by the emperor.

After the examination, the main and deputy lists are released. The person selected for the main list is called Juren, and the first place is called Jieyuan.

After finishing this exam, you can go to Kyoto.

There are still three months left before the exam. This exam is very important. If the previous exams were for junior high school and junior high school, then this time it is the college entrance examination.

This determines whether everyone can go to Kyoto and enter the officialdom.

Now Mr. Murong and Mr. Song have returned to Kyoto. We were able to pass the test before because Mr. Murong and Mr. Song laid the foundation and gave us test questions from previous years. The test questions every year are somewhat similar, and everyone is familiar with the test questions. .

But now that everyone is facing this problem, Qian Xiaoxiao gets a headache just thinking about it. Now that there is no teacher to teach everyone, she is so anxious that her mouth is blistering.

She had never thought of this before, and she secretly lamented that she was really inexperienced. Otherwise, according to her personality, such an important thing must be prepared in advance.

"Are you stupid? It's not like there are no talents in Jingcheng." Xiaoyao raised his head and said.

"Silent City, Silent City, Silent City?" Qian Xiaoxiao thought for a while, she really didn't know him.

"Think again, Rulin..."

"The Scholars? The Scholars? Yes, Chen Sheng said before that Mr. Tang from the Scholars is a very powerful gentleman, highly talented and knowledgeable, but..."

"Don't worry, he will agree."

"Are you sure? Do you know something?"

"How about a bet?"

"So sure? Then I'll go take a look first."

"Teacher, where are you going?" Qian Xiaoxiao was about to go out when Huang Jianren came in through the door and almost bumped into him.

"Go and fetch you sir." Qian Xiaoxiao said without looking back.

"Teacher, teacher."

"What's wrong?" Huang Jianren called her from behind, and she had to stop.

"Teacher, isn't it said that once a teacher is a lifelong father? And isn't there a saying here that only recognizes one master?"

"Ah, really? What about Mr. Song?"

"Have you forgotten? We didn't become apprentices."

"That's right. Mr. Murong is still your master, but you must have a husband to take care of you now."

"Teacher, I'm going too." Huang Jianren said carefully.

"Teacher, and me." Chen Yue didn't know when he stood behind Qian Xiaoxiao.

Qian Xiaoxiao turned around and saw that his classmates were all there.

She counted the time, and it was now lunch time. Everyone had just returned to the front yard from the school in the back.

"Everyone is there."

"Teacher, it's dinner time now." Chen Yuanyuan said softly.

"That's right, I forgot. Let's eat first, and then we can talk about going to the Confucian Academy after we're full." Qian Xiaoxiao gave himself a roll of the eyes, he was so mad.

After lunch, Qian Xiaoxiao thought about it and took Chen Yue and Pan Anzi to the Confucian Academy.

"Wow, teacher, this is the school in ancient times."

Pan Anzi and Chen Yue were at the door looking at the big characters on the door.

"Old sir." At this time, an old man came out.

Qian Xiaoxiao quickly stepped forward and saluted.

"Don't call me that, old man. I'm not a gentleman. What's the matter with you?" the old man asked with a laugh.

"We're looking for Mr. Tang. I wonder if... Grandpa, maybe he can help us pass the message?"

"Looking for Mr. Tang, that's really unfortunate. Mr. Tang is not here today. Please come back tomorrow."

"Huh? Such an unlucky thing?"

"You guys are out of luck. Mr. Tang will be off on April [-]th every year. You guys, please come back tomorrow."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Qian Xiaoxiao and the others saluted and had no choice but to return to the South District.

"Teacher, it seems that Mr. Tang is also a man with a story." Chen Yue said with rare gossip.

"What did you hear?" Qian Xiaoxiao also had a gossipy look on his face.

"I also heard from other people when I was waiting in line for the exam. Mr. Tang was admitted to the first place in the exam, but he did not stay in Kyoto and refused the emperor's request to stay. At that time, many people said that he would offend the emperor."

"Well, I've heard about this too. No one knows exactly what happened."

"Okay, the most important thing for you now is to prepare for the next autumn, don't be distracted."

The next day, Qian Xiaoxiao went to the Scholars Academy on his own.

This time I met Mr. Tang smoothly.

Qian Xiaoxiao was led by the bookboy to the hall of the academy. When she entered, she found that Mr. Tang was already waiting in the hall.

"Mr. Tang, bring the guests." The book boy called at the door.

"Go down."

"Mr. Tang." Qian Xiaoxiao walked straight into the hall and saluted Mr. Tang.

Mr. Tang also stood up when he saw Qian Xiaoxiao coming.

When Qian Xiaoxiao saw him acting like this, he knew that he was not a difficult person to get along with as the legend said.

"Boss Qian, please sit down." Mr. Tang returned the favor.

As soon as Qian Xiaoxiao sat down, a bookboy served him tea.

Neither of them spoke, until the book boy went down, and Qian Xiaoxiao said, "Mr. Tang, I didn't disturb you by coming here so rashly, right?"

"No, no, yesterday was the anniversary of my late wife's death, so I wasn't in the academy, but I heard the concierge Uncle Guo talk about it when I came back in the afternoon."

"Mr. Tang, I am a straightforward person, so I will keep my story short. You must also know that we are a Shuren private school."

"I know, of course I know. In the past six months, Shuren Private School has been very popular."

"It's like this. The children's husband is busy, so we can't continue to tutor them. You also know that the exam is coming soon, and you can't find a suitable teacher right now. What do you think?"

"This matter..." Mr. Tang did not expect Qian Xiaoxiao to come over because of this matter.

"Dean." At this time, the book boy shouted from outside. Both people in the hall heard it and looked out the door at the same time.

"I heard that Boss Qian is here." Dean Lin's hearty laughter came in.

"Dean Lin." Qian Xiaoxiao stood up and saluted.

"Sit, sit, sit." Dean Lin did not sit at the top, but sat next to Mr. Tang opposite Qian Xiaoxiao.

At that time, the hierarchy was very clear. The dean's move undoubtedly told Qian Xiaoxiao that everyone was the same and equal, or that he did not care about these red tapes and etiquette.

Although it was a small move, Qian Xiaoxiao noticed everything.

Don't think that people in ancient times were not as smart as people in modern times. If you don't have eight hundred ideas, you really won't be able to survive in ancient times. As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

"I heard from Uncle Guo that Boss Qian is here, so I came over to take a look. I wonder why Boss Qian is here this time?"

Before Qian Xiaoxiao could speak, Mr. Tang next to him approached Dean Lin and spoke to him in a low voice.

Qian Xiaoxiao could vaguely hear what Mr. Tang was saying, intermittently, and could only see Dean Lin stroking his beard and nodding.
