Shelter in the pastoral

After a while, Mr. Luo also came over, and said to them: "The reason why I asked you to come back is to hurry up. There are not many days left for you."

Fang Shujing frowned slightly.

Mr. Luo said: "The emperor passed away and the crown prince took the throne. The news hasn't come yet, but it's only been a few days. The new emperor is likely to open Enke ahead of schedule!" This is big news.

The so-called Enke is an examination other than the normal scientific examination.

That is the benefit of having someone in the court. Their mountain chief is an official in the court. Many people have already got the news before they know it.

The people present are all top students in their studies, and they are students who are very hopeful to get the title of scholar.

If the normal exam had to wait until autumn, it would be a joy for some families and a worry for others to hold it earlier this time.

It is good for those who are ready to get fame early, but if they are not ready, it will increase a lot of psychological burden.

Mr. Luo said: "You have been lax these days, pick up your books quickly."

As soon as his words fell, everyone became nervous, afraid that they would forget everything they had learned before.

Mr. Luo said: "Everyone is studying in Class A first, and I have asked you Brother Song to clean up a dormitory alone. Everyone will move there. I will ask them to bring you some charcoal pots at night." Centralized management is also possible in one place: "Everyone go to settle down first, and then the kitchen will prepare hot meals for everyone to have a bite, and come back for the exam."

"Okay." Everyone said in unison that their hearts were full of enthusiasm, no wonder everyone wanted to come to the college to study.When they got the news, they started to prepare immediately. When those small private schools got the news, they had no time to prepare for the exam, and they had already reviewed it several times, so they were naturally much better than others.

They hurried back to settle down, the dormitory for ten people was not big, and after a while Senior Brother Song brought two charcoal basins, which were enough to keep warm at night.

After everything is settled, go to the dining room to eat.

Most of the people in the academy didn't come back, and they didn't cook so many kinds of meals, so they made a stewed cabbage and potatoes, which was soft and steaming, and the only staple food here was steamed buns.

Even Mr. Luo and Mr. Wen eat the same food, there is no separate small stove.

Many people also came back after a long journey, and they are very easy to get hungry in winter, and the hot meals are delicious.

Fang Shujing was the last one to come.Now the sky has completely darkened, and you have to light candles wherever you go, otherwise the road will be slippery in the dark.

Fortunately, Senior Brother Song took two lanterns and everyone went to Class A. At this moment, candles were lit on every table in Class A.

The whole house was full of fire and bright.

Both Mr. Luo and Mr. Wen were there, and each of them was given a test paper, asking them to write a parallel character, which was not too long.

These people are the top ones selected from hundreds of people, and they don't need to think too much about such a simple topic, just pick up a pen and start writing.Soon the little prodigy was the first to hand in the paper, and then there was the second one.Fang Shujing also quickly finished writing and handed in the article.

Mr. Luo said: "Go back and go to bed early. Anyone who is late for early class tomorrow will be punished to stand outside. Now there are only a few of you in the academy. There is only one pot of rice in the morning. If you wake up late, you will only be hungry. "He explained these words very carefully.After going back for the Chinese New Year and staying for so long, I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of them if they eat and drink well at home.This is an academy, so it won't work if you let it go loose.

"Yes, sir." These people all know the importance of the exam. They have been busy just now, but now they are still a little fanatical. They were at home yesterday, but now they are in the academy.Moreover, the imperial examination is the dream of many people, so we will not relax.

Mr. Luo said: "Fang Shujing, wait a moment."

As soon as his words fell, many people went back to the dormitory to rest.Of these people, only Fang Shujing was left behind.

Mr. Luo looked at Fang Shujing and said: "The head of the mountain has high hopes for you, you must pass this time." He also felt a little emotional when looking at Fang Shujing.There are more than 200 scholars in the academy, and the head of the mountain has an official position. He occasionally comes to test their knowledge.Not much attention is paid to them!

But Fang Shujing, who entered Class A through the back door, impressed the head of the mountain several times. When he wrote the letter and came back, he specifically told him to do a good job in his studies.

But Mr. Luo is also convinced. Fang Shujing is a decent man with high knowledge and not showing off, his experience is more complicated than others, and he is less sour as a scholar. Whether he is selling pickles or giving wine, everyone remembers him. good.

Round but not slippery and well-versed in the world, such a person is naturally suitable for officialdom.Mr. Luo is highly educated and went around the officialdom but almost lost his life. This is the difference.

Mr. Luo was afraid that he didn't understand, and said, "After this Enke is over, maybe you can take the Juren examination this year."

If it can be done, there is no need to wait another three years.

Even a steady person like Fang Shujing's heart thumped several times when he heard this.

Mr. Wen said next to him: "These are some of my recent annotations. You can take them and read them if you have nothing to do." Not everyone has the opportunity to read this kind of precious manuscripts. If you can fully understand and pass the current level, your knowledge will also be greatly improved.

Fang Shujing took it as if he had found a treasure, and said, "Thank you sir."

Mr. Wen said: "You don't need to thank me, you have to work hard."

Fang Shujing nodded repeatedly.

After obtaining these things and teachings, I returned to the dormitory.Ever since Fang Shujing became well-known in the town, his ability has been recognized by Shanlin Academy. When he came back, he said, "Why did you stay there, sir?" Everyone was very curious.

Fang Shujing said: "I didn't say anything, I just asked about knowledge."

"Oh."

The scholars in Class B are a little envious, and only the students in Class A can be so familiar with the gentlemen, but if the students in Class A know this, they will be wronged.Because the communication with the teacher in Class A is limited to the classroom, Fang Shujing is an outlier, he can drink and talk with the teacher every day, and it is precisely because of this willfulness that Fang Shujing has high hopes for him I think it would be a pity if he only got the fame of a scholar, his natural ability to get closer to people.

The brazier was lit, and it was not cold in the crowded room, so he fell asleep soon after eating and drinking.

Fang Shujing was the first to wake up the next day. He came back from the shower, and his classmates were still asleep. He was really used to living a comfortable life at home, but he hadn't gotten used to coming back suddenly.

Fang Shujing called them up one by one.

They were in a daze, and when they asked what time it was, they all woke up from their beds like carp fish, still muttering: "It's over, it's over, it's too late..."
