The governor of Shaoxing, Xu Shijin, sat upright in the lobby. The Shaoxing Prefecture School professor and the county school teacher of Shanyi, sat on both sides. Several Confucian children were standing in the hall asking for interviews. Xu Shi went in and out of a pair to let those Confucian children meet. Seeing Zhang Yuan in, he ignored the Confucian children and called Zhang Yuan closer and asked, "Zhang Yuan, you have a good name. I thought you would be the first to hand in the paper. Is the question difficult this time?"

Zhang Yuan bowed and said, "Students only focus on writing and write carefully, and did not think about competing for the first place to hand in the paper." As he said that, he presented the test paper.

Xu Shijin nodded and first glanced at Zhang Yuan's article "Zhao Meng's place" and saw Zhang Yuan's small regular script. He said: "What is precious but what is cheap is forgotten. Because his disciples have some words, they have the same words as others."

This is a problem that is solved. Although it is summarized accurately, it does not make people stunning. Xu Shijin remained silent. When he was about to continue reading, he heard a Confucian boy interrupting: "Main Master, the student has already made a big deal to make a shortcoming."

Xu Shijin smiled and said, "Long talent is to win, but the value of great talent is to win late, and this pair can still get it." He wrote the word "ke" on the Confucian test paper and said, "I have taken you, you all have to withdraw."

After a few Confucians left, Xu Shijin continued to read Zhang Yuan's art-making title: "Mrs. Not a noble lady, I don't want to think about the day when she is cheap." Turning to look at the prefecture professor and the two county-level teachers, the three academic officials nodded together, and they all felt that the title was smooth and concise.

Xu Shijin also said, "However, it can be so cheap, so a gentleman does not care about the sayings of others. Now, based on the heart of people and choose them, it is not as noble as the only one, and sometimes it is not as noble as the most expensive person. If one is noble, it cannot make people more humble, but far more than the initial one. However, they are all expected to be expressed in thought, and hope for success is lost in reason. In this world, the song of cutting wood is unknown, and the emperor does not seek friends: the call of chariots is hoped to be sent, and the princes will not be appointed as teachers. Is it worth asking for people to be valued in this world? Is it the only thing that the powerful is the ministers? When I came here, Xu Shijin slapped the table and praised: "Wonderful!"

Master Fuzun called it wonderful, and the professor of Fuzun and the two county teachers praised it "Miaozai" repeatedly.

The professor of the prefecture said, "It is powerful, and it is taken from Qin and Han dynasties: it is smooth and bright, and it is obtained from Ou Su Mansion, and it is indeed keen to recognize talents."

The servants and the school officials praised him. Zhang Yuan Gongli was naturally relieved and felt that his painstaking thoughts were not in vain. The reason why his eight-legged essay was so exhausted was because he deliberately wrote the article with the Fuli Shop of the Han Dynasty. He mixed the four-six essays in the eight-legged essays, which were mixed with four-six essays in the eight-legged essays, which were essays in the eight-legged essays, was not a rash recklessness, but was targeted. Xu Shijin was a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Wanli. Zhang Yuan went to the bookstore a few days ago to find the ink scrolls of Yi Wei and carefully read Xu Shijin's seven essays. He found that Xu Shijin's eight-legged essays had a characteristic, that is, he liked the four-six essays, and he liked to show off his words. Zhang, the uncle of the clan who was on the same list as Xu Shijin.

Rushuang also said that Xu Shijin likes the gorgeous fu like Sima Xiangru, Wang Siren once taught Zhang Yuan that he wanted to pass the scientific examination smoothly. The first is that he should do a good job in the eight-legged essay, but doing a good job in the eight-legged essay may not necessarily be appreciated by the examiner. Why? It is because of the differences in aesthetic style between examiners and candidates, and the poems are not clear. Although the eight-legged essay has certain criteria for judging, the person who scores the papers will always be influenced by their preferences. An examiner who advocates concise brushwork certainly does not like vocabulary and splendid articles. This is normal. Zhang Yuan must consider all the factors that can be considered and try to find the most convenient and safest path to the imperial examination. Therefore, Zhang Yuan fell into the favor of the prefect Xu. This eight-legged essay also has a sāo Fu style style.

The eight-legged essay by Xu Zhifu read Zhang Yuan. The more he read, the louder the sound, it became, it was obviously very resonant and very refreshing: "A husband favors his daughter but does not cover the seat, and his favorite ministers do not cover the pavilion. He is so ugly that he is so embarrassed. Moreover, he is a matchmaker. It is difficult to have the same career path as the mountains and rivers? A frustrated man who moves the hearts of the powerful and nobles will move forward day by day and his feelings will fade away day by day, and his rituals will increase but he will avoid deepening."

Xu Shijin read quickly, and was a little breathless, and took a break, looking at Zhang Yuan and said, "The younger generation is terrifying." He read again, "...and it was once a great man, but now it is falling. Moreover, a great scholar, who picked pepper orchids at the water: a elegant family, playing the piano and singing in the room. There was a descendant of the Yanhuang Dynasty, so the righteousness was quite good: he was still happy, and the dream of rooster crowing was not alarmed. Hu was roaring by autumn, and regretted the temple forever. The white horse was so proud that those who were concerned about the situation were in the other, and those who were in the other could not be blocked: the ones who were in the ones who were in the other thoughts were in me, and those who were in the other thoughts were in the ones who were in the other thoughts were in me, and those who were in the ones who were in the ones were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in the ones who were in

After reading it in one go, Xu Shijin smiled and looked around and said, "How about this article? Can you get it?"

The three academic officials looked at the red face of the Lord of the Mansion and said in unison: "Congratulations to the Mansion for obtaining this outstanding disciple."

Xu Shijin laughed and said to Zhang Yuan: "Zhang Yuan, when you come to this mansion in the future, you will be called teachers and students." This is clearer, but Zhang Yuan’s mansion passed the test.

Zhang Yuan said happily: "Thank you, my teacher." He knelt down and gave a big gift.

Xu Shijin twisted his beard and laughed, saying, "It's rare that you have also dabbled in the great fu of the Han Dynasty at a young age. Have you read all the "Zhaoming Wenxuan" through?" Zhang Yuan said, "Students have recently started reading "Zhaoming Wenxuan" and like the colorful chapter of the great fu of the Han Dynasty, so they were a bit unveiled when making art."

Xu Shijin said: "If you have a good layout, you should be erect and unrestrained in your writing, and your talent is revealed."

A clerk hurried to the hall and reported, "The Master of the Mansion, a candidate in Xuntang suddenly foamed at the mouth and twitched continuously, which was very scary, and the minor official was worried."

Xu Shijin frowned and said, "Please take him out and pass it to the doctor for treatment."

The little official quickly went out, Zhang Yuan also quit and walked towards the dragon gate with the examination basket. Two officers carried a young Confucian boy out of the Xuntang examination room. The young Confucian boy no longer twitched at this time, broke free and stood up, wiped the foam from his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "I haven't copied it yet." He ran towards the examination room again.

A clerk, two servants were stunned for a long time, and saw that the dying person was going to take the exam again in a blink of an eye. Didn’t you die without finishing the exam?

Zhang Yuan walked over and said, "It must be Yang Laifeng, which will occur every now and then, and it will be fine if it occurs."

The clerk recognized Zhang Yuan and bowed, "Young Master Zhang was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and I was really shocked just now." He also said, "Young Master Zhang has to wait for a while to leave the exam room."

The dozens of candidates who handed in the papers in front put out the top cards, and the dragon gate was closed again. It took half an hour to put the second cards. Zhang Yuan waited by the dragon gate for about two minutes. When the military officer came to open the door, he left the examination room. He saw the tall and burly yellow-bearded man Mu Jingyan. Mu Zhenzhen was surrounded by Mu Jingyan, who was dressed but radiant. Suddenly, two young children ran over and shouted: "Uncle Jiezi, Uncle Jiezi.

"But it was Lu Chun and Lu Jie's little brothers.

Lu Chun and Lu Jie followed Wu Ling and the two maids who were taking care of them to the Fu Academy Palace to wait for Jie Zi to leave the examination room. The child was anxious and kept asking, "Why is Uncle Jie Zi not coming out yet?" When the first sign was put on, the cannon opened the door. Dozens of candidates rushed out. The two brothers didn't see clearly and kept calling "Uncle Jie Zi" but didn't see the uncle coming out. They were so disappointed. This time, the second time I opened the dragon gate, I finally saw Jie Zi's uncle coming out. I was overjoyed and jumped to greet them. The child's joy was so pure, and it was not worthy of the joy. Zhang Yuan was bowing his head and talking to his two little nephews, but someone behind him asked: "Senior Brother Jie Zi, is the scientific examination going smoothly?"

Zhang Yuan quickly turned around and saw Wang Ying, Zi Lun, wearing a Confucian shirt, waving a folding fan, and smiling at him.

"Why is Brother Ying Wang coming?" Zhang Yuan asked in surprise. When he looked left and right, there was a sedan chair not far away, and a maid stood beside the sedan chair.

Wang Yingzi refused to answer and asked anxiously: "Have you used that art production article?" She had learned about the exam questions from the candidates who had appeared before. At that moment, she couldn't control her happiness, but she was worried that Zhang Yuan would not use her eight-legged essay.

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Is it so urgent? Do you have to ask for the money for money?"

After hearing what Zhang Yuan said, Wang Yingzi knew that Zhang Yuan had copied it, and her eyes suddenly smiled even louder and asked, "Then why didn't you put the top card?"

Zhang Yuan said: "Of course, you have to do your best to do another article better, otherwise wouldn't you be ashamed?"

Wang Yingzi said: "Senior Brother, can you recite the article "Zhao Meng's place, please tell me?"

Zhang Yuan said: "Tomorrow I will go to see the teacher to report the situation of the mansion test, and I will write it out for you to show it."

But at this moment, Zhang Yuan heard his sister Zhang Ruoxi's voice: "Xiaoyuan, you did a good job in the exam?"

Zhang Yuan looked back and saw that his sister Zhang Ruoxi was also a Confucian shirt. She was just like Yingzi’s junior sister Zhang Ruoxi liked to travel for men before she left home. Her father Zhang Ruiyang was not at home all year round, and her mother Lu had a good temper. Zhang Ruoxi would take her younger brother Zhang Yuan to Dashan Temple and Longshan City Temple. After marrying to Qingpu, she became much more restrained. She was a good wife and mother. She occasionally went out with Lu Dao. This time she returned to her parents’ home, but she didn’t leave her home. Today she saw Lu Chun and Lu Jie.

The two children have not come back after so long. They are also concerned about their younger brother's scientific examinations, so they wear their former Confucian robe and ask Yiting to accompany them to the palace. However, they see their younger brother Zhang Yuan talking to a young scholar. Zhang Ruoxi is careful and dressed as a man. She immediately finds that the young scholar is a woman. She is very surprised. Although she also goes out in men's clothes when she is a daughter, she never talks to outsiders except for following her younger brother Zhang Yuan and Zhou Ma. Who is this woman?

Wang Yingzi also looked at Zhang Ruoxi in surprise. Zhang Yuan was a little embarrassed. Of course, it was difficult to introduce the two of them. He just said to Zhang Ruoxi: "Sister, the Mansion Master has seen my art and asked me to call him a teacher in the future."

Zhang Ruoxi said happily: "That's the test, it's great, very good." While speaking, he looked up and down at Wang Yingzi, Wang Yingzi's face was slightly red, and bowed to Zhang Yuan and said, "Senior brother, then I'll go back first." He bowed to Zhang Ruoxi again, hurried back to the sedan chair, got on the sedan chair and left...
