The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

"The grandfather of the two of them was frightened and fell off the horse. We have to wait for the situation to stabilize before signing up." Sheng Yuan finished talking about the situation of Ouyang Ling and Xia Shuangjun, and then took out the explanatory letter with the seal of Jiujiang Academy and handed it over. , Evidence from the Supervisory Court.”

Then she took out another document: "This is an explanation written for Mr. Qu Lin, our guarantor, with his personal seal on it."

"En." Hearing this, the clerk found out the seal picture of Jiujiang Academy and Qu Linsheng's personal seal picture from the case, and carefully checked it. Seeing that they matched, he briefly looked at the explanation letter of the academy and Qu Linsheng's document.

"Since it is Qu Linsheng who guarantees the knot, you can take the test card here! When you enter the venue, remember to stand according to the test card, and there will be a document to compare with Qu Linsheng."

The three of Sheng Yuan took the test card, carefully put it in a small bag, and then cupped their hands to express their thanks.

"No need to be too polite, pay the fee later!"

Sheng Yuan knew that what he was talking about was the test paper fee, so she didn't say much, and hurriedly walked back.

"Bring your own or buy the certificate?" The fee-paying clerk shook his abacus and looked at them.

"Buy the roll." Sheng Yuan had already taken out the small purse.

"The price of the scroll is [-] Wen, Cheng Hui!"

Sheng Yuan took out a string of money that he had prepared long ago, and neatly put it on the table.

Seeing the clerk put his hand on the money string and quickly stroke it, his thumb and index finger flashed afterimages in the process, and before Sheng Yuan and the others saw it clearly, he nodded and said, "It's all right!"

After saying that, he drew a stroke on the account book, picked up the seal and stamped a seal on Sheng Yuan's documents.

Sheng Yuan took a look, and saw three words clearly printed on the document - "Paid in full".

After completing the payment, the registration is considered to be over.

The three of Sheng Yuan walked out according to the instructions of the guide document, and they went out to the side door of the ceremony room, and walked out from there to the street.

It was also at this time that the three of Shengyuan were in the mood to look at the incoming and outgoing candidates.

"Look, that white-haired boy! He walks tremblingly, and he still needs to take the exam?!" An Yu grabbed Sheng Yuan with one hand and stretched Lu Sheng with the other, reminding them to look forward.

"Although the road to the imperial examination has made many people poor, but this..."

An Yu felt it was a bit exaggerated: "Even the county exam has been taken for dozens of years, is it necessary to continue?"

This is too embarrassing for my own head.

Some people failed repeatedly in the provincial examinations, and some fell into the sand again and again in the general examinations. Although the process sounds a little tragic, most of these candidates still have some real talents.

However, after dozens of years in the county examination, he still failed... I can only say that this candidate is really not suitable for studying.

He was curious how many words the other party knew!
It was also the first time Sheng Yuan saw such a candidate.

She originally thought that such a person could only be seen in the provincial and general examinations.

"It's so pitiful!" Lu Sheng shook his head and sighed, "I won't do this! I can pass the exam three or five times at most. If I don't pass the exam, I won't take the exam!"

"What's so pitiful about him! If you want to say that he is pitiful, then his family is pitiful!" An Yu has read a lot of such stories from story books recently, and only feels that the examinee's relatives are pitiful.

"By the way, if he insists on taking the exam like this, he must be avoiding work on purpose!" An Yu rubbed his chin and guessed, "Scholars can still be exempted from taxation, what's the use of being a child?!"

Sheng Yuan felt that An Yu's guess was reasonable: "If this is the case, it is really sad."

"That's selfish!" An Yu hugged her arms and snorted, "It's better to earn more money and use it for the scientific examinations of your children and grandchildren!"

"Master Hou!"

While the three of them were talking, Cheng Dong brought someone over to find him.

This is now the chief guard of Ancheng Hou Mansion.

"Miss!" Xiaoyao couldn't see Sheng Yuan coming out for a long time, worried, and followed Cheng Dong to find her.

"Miss, someone just reported the janitor's fake bond guarantee!" Seeing Sheng Yuan, Xiaoyao crisply talked about the new things she saw outside.

"Fake?!" The three of Sheng Yuan yelled at the same time.

Immediately, the three people who were gossiping just now surrounded Xiaoyao: "Say it! Say it!"

"It's right in front of the gate of the ceremony hall, and it's still arguing!" Xiaoyao couldn't explain clearly, so she pointed it out to them.

As soon as she pointed the direction, the three people who were around her before disappeared.

As soon as the three of Sheng Yuan squeezed from the crowd to the inner circle, they saw a man who looked like a cook, staring at the two students who were accusing him with a livid face, and said angrily: "Guarantee! Guaranteed! It's us Lin Shansheng took the risk of bearing guilt to guarantee to the court and county government that the candidates met the requirements for applying for the examination.

This matter is related to our future, how can we lose our righteousness for small gains? !I bonded to the girl from the Xue family because she meets the requirements, how can you falsely accuse us of cheating?If you don't make it clear today, I will go to the county government and sue you for framing the yansheng and intending to obstruct the exam! "

After he finished speaking loudly, Miss Xue mentioned in the words came out of the ceremony room.

"Yan Zicheng, you have to provide evidence for what you say!"

"If I don't have evidence, how can I make a fuss here!" The thin man named Yan Zicheng took out a document from his arms and unfolded it for the people around to see, "Xue Ziyi, formerly known as Yan Xinan, is the second daughter of the Yan family. Originally, I had the responsibility of being filial to my father and ancestors and caring for my elders. How could I have thought that once I became a widow, I changed my name and surname after marrying into the Xue family, and became a girl of the Xue family, and I no longer have any affection for my parents and grandparents? The second! How can such an immoral person pass the exam?! Mr. Zonglin, do you still dare to say that you have made no mistakes?!"

Zong Linsheng, who was originally dark-faced, was a little stunned when he heard the words, and immediately looked at Xue Ziyi and asked: "Student Xue, is what this person said false?"

Before Xue Ziyi could say anything, that Yan Zicheng had already said loudly: "There are ten major faults. One is that there is a lack of language and disobedience in the service. This is an unfilial fault! The second is that the mausoleum insults the elders and the crippled flesh and bones. This is an unfriendly fault! Xue Ziyi, oh , no, it's Yan Xinan, you have two big mistakes, how dare you refer to them?!"

"You are talking nonsense!" Xue Ziyi was so angry that he was trembling all over, and her voice was trembling, "The day I changed my name and surname, the Yan family took 500 taels of silver from the Xue family! They adopted me to Xue family, and the patriarchs of the two clans made it clear that from now on I am the daughter of the Xue family and have nothing to do with the Yan family!
You are drunk, immoral, and prostitute, and you are filthy and filthy, but you have committed a crime that is not shameful, and someone is using you to blackmail you with thousands of taels of silver!The Yan family couldn't get it out, so they harassed the Xue family, trying to use the money from the Xue family to relieve the shame of your Yan family, how reasonable is this? !
The Xue family's parents love me and love me, and if they want to pay, I shouldn't!A daughter from the Yan family was sold to the Xue family twice, so you can't drag the Xue family down with rotten wood like you, right?
Our Xue family doesn't care about it, but the Yan family's father and grandfather sent people to mess around in Xue's house all day long. I couldn't be more angry. I had a quarrel with my cousins ​​of the same generation, and you all slandered my mausoleum, insulted the elders, and said disobedient words. Just don't forget , the neighbors around have heard about it, but you can't discredit it with nonsense! "

After saying that, she turned her head and cupped hands with Zong Linsheng: "Sir, please take the student to Xunzhi County's old parents to clarify."
