Aoyama Chronicle

The preparation time for the exam passed quickly, Zhong Yiwen waited for Tian Ping and the others to come to his home every day, exchanged knowledge with each other, and listened to the latest news brought by Tian Ping by the way, and his days were very pleasant.However, since the day of Mingyue Tower, Zhang Dufeng no longer made friends with them. Although they regretted it, they didn't really take it to heart.

Tian Ping and the others also took advantage of Zhong Yiwen's reputation as a "bamboo gentleman" to go out to socialize a few times. Naturally, there were benefits. The four of them also gained some reputation among the students, at least they would not be as unknown as they were at the beginning.

On the other side, Master Jiang copied Zhong Yiwen's thoughts in the Mingyue Tower that day, and immediately presented them to the Holy One.Of course, he didn't fully take the credit for this. After all, he was not the only one who heard Zhong Yiwen's remarks. He bluntly said that it was Zhong Yiwen, a Yangzhou exam candidate.After the Holy Majesty saw the memorial, he was frightened at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he looked happy again, and immediately called a group of people to discuss it.A few of his confidantes are also annoyed by the affairs of Yanzhou these days, and they are restless day and night. Now that they see such a fresh idea, they immediately open their minds, express their opinions, and quickly eliminate the imperfections in Zhong Yiwen's ideas, and then A lot of content has been added.Finally, an emergency plan for severe disasters in Yanzhou was formed, which was sent to the Seventh Prince who was on the front line of disaster relief in Yanzhou.

Mr. Jiang waited for a few days, and finally got the emperor's secret decree: this son is available.

Master Jiang immediately understood what His Majesty meant, and nodded understandingly, fearing that Zhong Yiwen's thoughts caught His Majesty's favor.Even he himself estimated that he could move up a bit because of this credit, and he was really satisfied with Zhong Yiwen immediately.

After receiving the letter from Butler Fu from Zhongjia Village, telling about the wheat and rapeseed harvest this season, the three-yearly rural examination has also begun.The township examination here is the same as the general examination. There are three exams in total, one a day, for three consecutive days.Although it was rather scary, Zhong Yiwen was still able to accept it, and it was much better than the one who had to take the exam for nine days.

The big exam year of Qingzhou Township Examination can be seen from the huge flow of people entering the exam room.

Qin Fei, who came to take the exam, held Xiaochen in his arms, looking at the endless crowd, his face turned pale.Zhong Yiwen was afraid that he would be hit by someone, so he hurriedly dragged him to a place where there were fewer people.

"I told you to rest this morning, so you don't need to see me off!" Zhong Yiwen's heart ached to death, but he accused Qin Fei bluntly.

Qin Fei glared at him, and then quickly changed his expression: "Well, you don't have to be too nervous, head of the family. It doesn't matter how you pass the exam, I will come to pick you up with Xiaochen in three days."

"Uncle, come on!" Xiaochen followed to encourage Zhong Yiwen.

Zhong Yiwen laughed, covered Xiaochen's eyes, and leaned over to kiss Qin Fei on the lips while Qin Fei was not paying attention.Then, pretending to know nothing, kissed Xiao Chen hard on the face, and finally, before Qin Fei could react, he ran away with his belongings.While running, Zhong Yiwen waved at Qin Fei.

Seeing Zhong Yiwen's appearance like this, Qin Fei couldn't help laughing.Obviously this year has turned 20 years old, why is this person still as uncertain as a child?It doesn't seem to be the case in front of other people, does it?

Qin Fei, in fact, you are telling the truth.

After leaving Qin Fei, Zhong Yiwen returned to his expressionless face. He walked to the entrance of the examination room and lined up. It was his turn after a while. After being carefully checked, he was let in.Zhong Yiwen quickly found his own private room, and it was actually right under the eyes of several invigilators. This position is really perfect.Zhong Yiwen shook his head, took out the things he had prepared one by one, placed them on the table, and then sat down, waiting for the exam to start.

Before the invigilator came in, Zhong Yiwen couldn't help but began to look around, but he really didn't see any acquaintances where he looked.

But when Han Kuaizhong Yiwen glanced at a corner a little far away from him, he seemed to see a familiar figure.Zhong Yiwen stretched his neck and looked at it for a long time but couldn't see it clearly. In the end, he stood up and took a look without giving up. Only then did he realize that he was really right.That person was the gray-haired old scholar Zhong Yiwen and the others met on the way to Qingzhou.But after they parted outside the city gate that day, they never saw each other again. It was a coincidence that they met in the examination room this time.

It didn't take long for Zhong Yiwen to feel emotional, several invigilators had already entered the examination room, and all the candidates put down what they were doing, sat down quietly and waited for the start of the examination.

In the distance, the gong sounded for the start of the exam, and at the same time as the door of the exam room was creakingly pushed shut, the servants also began to distribute the exam papers to each candidate.in this way.The three-year provincial examination officially began.

The first two rounds of the township examination are essays, and the last round is science.After Zhong Yiwen got the first exam questions, he took a closer look, and found that there was nothing new, quite satisfactory, and nothing worth developing.If the township examinations were full of questions like this, it would be no wonder that He Jianghai would let Zhong Yiwen gain a good reputation among the students first, because such examination papers alone would not be able to bridge the gap.

Zhong Yiwen didn't think too much about it. He typed the manuscript first before recording it on the manuscript paper. Afterwards, he revised and corrected the contents of the manuscript several times until he was sure that there was nothing missing before carefully transcribing it on the answer sheet.Zhong Yiwen answered the questions very carefully, and didn't notice the passage of time at all. After he finished transcribing, he looked up and saw that there was not much time before the end of the field.

What Zhong Yiwen didn't notice was that when he was answering the questions, an invigilator walked up to him from time to time to take a closer look.The invigilator was naturally Mr. Jiang.It's a pity that Zhong Yiwen didn't notice at all, and even if he saw Mr. Jiang, Zhong Yiwen might not remember that he had seen Mr. Jiang in Mingyue Tower two months ago.It can only be said that there were too many people at that time, and Zhong Yiwen was not very interested at the beginning. Even after giving an impromptu speech, Zhong Yiwen didn't care much about other people.Mr. Jiang didn't say a word except for a few words at the beginning, so his sense of presence was really not high.If he doesn't take the initiative to remind Zhong Yiwen now, Zhong Yiwen will never remember this person.

Master Jiang is not the case, he can remember Zhong Yiwen clearly, and originally wanted to look for him in the examination room, but he didn't expect him to be right under their noses.That's why Mr. Jiang wandered around a few more times.Mr. Jiang was very satisfied with Zhong Yiwen sitting in front of the invigilator and answering the paper calmly. He only felt that Zhong Yiwen's future was limitless.

The first day's scene passed so uneventfully, Zhong Yiwen never saw the scene where someone passed out and was sent out, the whole examination room was fairly calm.

In fact, the examination room of the entire rural examination is very large, and this year is the year of the big examination, so the number of candidates inside is really close to 100.Originally, [-] students were admitted for each provincial examination, but after the major year and the minor year, except for the ordinary years, [-] students were admitted. .Even so, the admission ratio in the big exam year is that there are more than [-] people in the list, which shows how fierce the competition is.

And today's first exam started, in a corner that Zhong Yiwen couldn't see, some students had already been kicked out of the exam room because of cheating. A total of more than a dozen students were affected, including Zhong Yiwen's cousin Zhong Yibin.The invigilator sentenced the principal offender on the spot that he would not be allowed to continue to take the test for life, and the accessory student was also sentenced to not take the test for three terms.Zhong Yibin was framed and implicated by the opposite student, and when he came out of the examination room, he was in a daze and hadn't reacted yet.

Zhong Yiwen didn't know this, but Ah Qi, who had been standing outside the examination room, could see it clearly.Although Ah Qi didn't know Zhong Yibin, when he heard that the name reported by the invigilator was so similar to his master's, he immediately realized that this was probably the young master from Zhong's family in the state capital.After Ah Qi went up to inquire about the news, he saw that the first exam was about to end, so he didn't want to wait any longer. He ran home and reported Zhong Yibin's matter to Qin Fei.

"My lord, you didn't see it. The young master was dumbfounded when he heard the invigilator's decision. He stood outside the door in a daze for a long time without reacting." Ah Qi deliberately imitated Zhong Yibin's appearance. amused.

The other servants in the family were all laughed by Ah Qi's exaggerated study of the Fa.

But Qin Fei frowned, a little worried: "I don't know if our head of the family will be affected by this matter, after all, they are still cousins."

Ah Qi immediately comforted Qin Fei as if asking for credit: "My lord, you don't have to worry. When I saw something happened to Young Master Tang, I immediately spent a few pennies to ask the gentleman next to him who asked the divination. Erqing, he said that keeping this matter will not affect our master."

"You can also believe the words of a person who asks the divination. He won't treat you as the one who asks the divination and fool you casually, right?" Ah Mo is also a little worried, but they don't know these things, so they can only be anxious.

"Who said that, the gentleman who asked the divination said that there have been many such things in the past, and my father was punished for cheating, but his son was selected. He said that there are many students who take the exam in this township, which has something to do with it." The number is even more numerous. If the matter of cheating is counted as joint and several, how many students will be implicated. The government has long stipulated that only one offender will be punished for what happens in the examination room, and no one will be implicated. Otherwise, If there are talented people who are deliberately framed by bribed relatives, or deliberately caused trouble by discord between relatives, will the country still have to select talents through scientific examinations?"

A Qi's words immediately attracted Qin Fei and the others to nod in agreement, and it was because they didn't know the inside story, and caring made chaos.Ah Qi was able to inquire so clearly, it was finally a matter of doing the right thing.
