My whole family has crossed with Goldfinger

Three days passed in a flash, Xu Dajun and Fang Congyun were immersed in their studies, they didn't go anywhere, but they still felt that the time passed too fast.

Early in the morning, the two got up, and after eating the breakfast bought by Wutong, they went out to Honglu Academy.

Honglu Academy is located on the Baiyun Peak in the south of the city. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, you can see the layers of houses on the peak, carved beams and painted buildings, which are amazingly beautiful.

As far as the Hanshan stone path is slanting, there are people in the depths of Baiyun.

Most of the mountains and forests are covered with maple trees. If you wait until late autumn, the maple leaves all over the mountain will be as red as fire, and then the Baiyun Peak will be so beautiful and charming.

Because there is an academy on Baiyun Peak, a small market has gradually formed at the foot of the mountain, and the people around here go to the market.

There are even inns and restaurants built at the foot of the mountain!
It can be described as lively.

From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there is still about three quarters of an hour to climb. Fortunately, the stone steps paved with bluestone slabs are not rough and difficult, but it is just difficult to climb.

No, they haven't climbed halfway yet, both of them are panting.

"If you're not in good health, you won't even be able to climb up!" Xu Dajun sighed.

Fang Congyun said: "This is very good for physical exercise." It's not good for a scholar to be weak, how can he stand up to the imperial examinations?

So this academy is built on the top of the peak, it's really great, everyone has to climb up, and they can't drive.

Just thinking about it like this, I saw that the slider was going up when I lifted my head.

As they got closer, they saw clearly that the person sitting on the sliding pole was a white-haired old man, presumably it was the master of Honglu Academy, the two quickly stood upright, and gave a student salute to the sliding pole from a distance.

The old man sitting on the sliding pole glanced past the two of them and nodded slightly.

After the sliding pole went over and up, the two hurriedly continued to climb up.

After two quarters of an hour, I finally made it to the top.

Facing it is a big standing stone with four big characters written in Honglu Academy.

A guard mountain boy found the strange face, and immediately came up from behind the stone to inquire about the purpose of his visit.

Fang Congyun held his hand and said, "Students Fang Congyun and Xu Dajun, come to take the entrance examination."

After hearing their names, the guard mountain boy scanned the booklet in his hand, and made sure that the two names were correct, so he asked another boy to lead them in.

Entering the door is a tree-lined road, with ancient pines standing on both sides, straight into the sky, and the cool breeze is blowing, and those who were sweating were swept away by the tree wind, and immediately felt cool and comfortable.

The two were led all the way to a place called Yuwenguan, and entered a hallway. The boy asked them to wait here for a while, and then left. There were already several people here. Judging by their attire, they were also scholars. , presumably should also come to take the entrance examination.

One of the men wearing a blue scarf glanced at Fang Congyun and the two who had just entered, and came forward to say hello: "Zhou Pinren of Qingyang Mansion, how dare I ask you two brothers' names? How about making friends?"

As a scholar, especially a scholar who participated in the imperial examination, it is natural to hear about the people who took the imperial examination together in the same class, especially if they are also from Qingzhou. They all have to match each other in the provincial examination, so they can understand in advance. Always right.

As soon as Fang Congyun heard his self-reported family name, he knew who he was. This time, the chief case in Qingyang Mansion, he cupped his hands and said: "Fang Congyun in Xia Yiyang Mansion, this is my classmate Xu Dajun."

Zhou Pinren didn't know about Xu Dajun, but when he heard Fang Congyun's name, he also knew, oh, this is the chief of the case in Yiyang Prefecture. If he can become the chief of the case in a prefecture, he must be a leader in talent and learning. This person will be the candidate for the provincial examination next year. One of the powerful competitors, it is necessary to make more friends, knowing yourself and the enemy can win every battle.

"So it's Brother Fang, Brother Xu! You two also came to take the entrance examination of Honglu Academy. I wonder which gentleman recommended it? Oh, Zhou was recommended by Mr. Su."

If you want to take the entrance examination of Honglu Academy and enter Honglu Academy to study, you must be recommended by the masters in the academy, and Honglu Academy also has regulations, and there is a fixed number of students admitted each year. Therefore, each gentleman's annual Nominations are limited to a maximum of five.

If you know which gentleman recommended it, you can still get some information.

For example, Zhou Pinren had already communicated with the other people before, and then those people seemed to follow him.

It's just because Mr. Su is the deputy head of Honglu Academy, his status is second only to the head of the mountain.

When Xu Dajun looked at this man's eyes, he knew that this guy was not a good bird. Although he was inferior in talent and learning, he was still good at judging people.

Which gentleman recommended them?Say it and scare you to death!
Fang Congyun cupped his hands and hadn't answered a word. At this moment, several students outside were led in by the little boy.

Among them, there were Zhou Pinren's acquaintances, he was busy going up to greet him, but he didn't pay attention to this. After he exchanged greetings, when he wanted to go over to talk again, students came in one after another, one after another. , Soon, the hall was full of people, at a cursory glance, there were at least 40 to [-] people.

Then, a gentleman from the academy appeared and called them into the lobby to prepare for the exam.

Therefore, Zhou Pinren didn't know who recommended Fang Congyun and the two in the end, and he didn't take it to heart. He was recommended by the deputy mountain chief. Who else in this group can compare to him?

Not surprisingly, as long as they pass the exam, they are classmates in the same class. So, isn't he the leader of the class?
All those who took the exam were provided with pens and ink by the academy, and the exam tables had been arranged long ago. After everyone took the exam papers, they found a place to sit down and began to answer. After answering, you must stop answering.

Xu Dajun got the examination paper and scanned it first. The question was rather interesting. There were [-] questions in the first part, and at the end he wrote an article about the proposition of the Four Books.

The so-called stickers are similar to the fill-in-the-blank questions of later generations.

The twenty questions are all from the Four Books and Five Classics, and the test is whether you have accumulated enough knowledge. At least, if you are not familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, you may not be able to answer all the questions that are half hidden and half exposed.

Fortunately, among other things, he has memorized the Four Books and Five Classics quite well.

Immediately start writing, and in a short time, I will answer all the questions in the post.

Fang Congyun looked at the posted questions, and immediately thought that Xu Dajun must have no problem with this question.

When he saw the title of the four books, he frowned slightly, "People with lofty ideals and benevolent people".

It really is much more difficult than the county test questions.

Fang Congyun thought for a while, and then wrote down the question.

Here, Xu Dajun looked at the topic and thought about it for a while before slowly writing.

His articles are still lacking. Even if he read other people's articles and did not write less or practice less, but it is still not enough to write articles that will be greatly appreciated.

He also knows this, so he can only do his best and write in the best state.

After the exam, the result did not come out immediately, the gentleman asked the boy to lead them to the academy cafeteria to have lunch first, and then return to the Yuwen Hall after lunch, waiting for the result.
