Chapter two hundred and eighty sixth look at luck

Facts have proved that in an era without the Internet, the key to getting news quickly depends on how big the matter is.

The three-year examination was the most critical first. At the gate of the Gongyuan, Qian Yuan angrily scolded and kicked Zou Yinglong and passed away through word of mouth, and spread throughout the capital in a short period of time.

Gui Youguang was very famous in the southeast. In the afternoon of that day, scholars from Suzhou, Hangzhou, Changzhou and Songjiang came to Suiyuan to visit Qian Yuan, Xu Wei, and all Dashou admired Gui Youguang's literary talent. The former cursed Zou Yinglong, and even Wang Shizhen, who was about to break up with Qian Yuan, came to the door.

Fortunately, everyone knows that the examination is not over yet and it will be dispersed before dinner. However, Zhu Dashou, Chen Younian, Tao Dalin and others simply moved to Suiyuan. First, it will be quieter and closer to the examination room, and second, it is because everyone is worried about Xian Yu who has suffered from typhoid fever.

"You'd better go back to the Zhejiang Guild Hall." Qian Yuan frowned and whispered: "Don't go in. I've sent maids and servants to take care of them. The medicine has been brought in and is being cooked."

The Xian family in Kuaiji is a poor family, but Xian Yucai is known as a prodigy. He was originally not going to take the exam. After all, he was too young, so Tao Dalin was still there. Chen Younian encouraged him to go to Beijing to take the exam together.

After all, I have not yet entered the official career and my conscience has not been eaten by dogs. Several fellow villagers refuse to leave and stay in Suiyuan to wait for news.

Qian Yuan had no choice but to arrange for the guest house to stay in. He would enter the examination room again tomorrow morning and he might not be able to rest well when he returned.

However, the key to the first exam was the first one, and the next two were purely a formality. Qian Yuan did not have the mentality of not responding to the answer after one of the exams when he finished the college entrance examination. He repeated all the seven questions he wrote.

Among all the people, Xu Wei was the first to refer to his talent and knowledge. The guy shook his head and said, "If I were an examiner, I would definitely be a low-level person."

Qian Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he only looked at Zhu Dashou and Tao Dalin. The former was recognized as a master of the imperial examination and was experienced in the article, while the latter was fair and he commented on the articles when he was good at writing.

"This..." Zhu Dashou scratched his chin, "It's great, I can't find any bias..."

Xu Wei was coldly speaking from the side, "Do you understand? It means that there is nothing wrong, and there is nothing in front of you."

"Not to, not to." Tao Dalin smiled and said, "It is common sense to take the lead."

"It is common sense to not win..."

Everyone held back their smiles and watched Xu Wei and Qian Yuan quarrel, but this time, Qian Yuan was obviously at a disadvantage.

However, Qian Yuan saw that everyone was so tired that he drove everyone to rest early. As for whether Xian Yu would participate in the second session, it depends on his physical condition tomorrow, and on his own wishes. No one will make a choice for him in this kind of thing.

As soon as Qian Yuan returned to the house, Zhou Ze followed him, "Young Master, I have a letter."

"Yeah." Qian Yuan opened it and looked at it a few times, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Xiaoqi's letter was asking Qian Yuan whether he was doing well in the exam room, whether he was suffering, and he did not mention how he did the exam at all... He was too deliberate, and guessed that this girl had never had a relationship in her previous life.

Xiangling, who was making the bed, looked at this scene and frowned and muttered a few times. She had already discovered that every time Guard Zhou brought a letter, the young master always looked in a good mood and would not have a room outside.

When they woke up, everyone packed their things and set off again. Xian Yan reluctantly stood up and insisted on going, and everyone could only respect his choice.

"This is Huating Qian Zhancai, right?"

"Show your talent, do a pretty job."

"Then Zou Yinglong seems to be from Lanzhou. Who knows which guild he lives in?" A Kunshan juren rolled up his sleeves and shouted.

Someone with a strong memory frowned and said, "Lanzhou does not have a town, only Lanzhou Guard. King Su moved the military farm in Fanlan County, and should be assigned to Shaanxi."

It is difficult for scholars from the north, southwest and northwest to understand how high Gui Youguang's reputation is in the southeast, but they all saw that Qian Zhancai of Huating beat Zou Yinglong, and almost all scholars from the southeast were applauding.

Even when entering the dragon gate, the search officer couldn't help but look up and down for a while. He looked gentle and elegant, but he didn't expect that he had such a bad temper. Uh, he was also good at skill... It is said that Zou Yinglong was kicked so much that he went to hire a doctor overnight.

The second session was to take the five classics questions, test the edict, judgment, expression, and edict, and a question, which was not difficult for Qian Yuan.

Except for the Five Classics, the rest require a lot of reading and experience as support, and these are Qian Yuan’s strengths.

Almost no one among the candidates can compare with Qian Yuan's reading volume, and Qian Yuan also often goes to the government office in Huizhou Prefecture, and Qian Zheng also gave him more tips.

The third session is simpler, with five questions. Because few scholars in this era had insightful opinions before entering the officialdom, the examiners didn’t even read it.

Qian Yuan finished the questions early in these two games, and then started to make food leisurely, and even imitated Pan Yunduan to bring the copper hotpot in.

Like the provincial examination, the invigilator didn't care much about the last part, and the invigilator was also very relaxed. Qian Yuan and Pan Yunduan even set up hot pot in the aisle to have a feast, which made many candidates come over and almost opened a campfire party... until the chief examiner Wu Shan drove everyone away.

On February 18th, the 35th Annual Examination of Jiajing finally came to an end. The candidates who had lost their skin once in three years rushed out of the gate, and the rest were the examiners' lives.

"It depends on luck."

Qian Yuan said this to anyone, and even to his uncle Lu. It is really true. It is good luck to be able to pass the exam. If you can't pass the exam, you can only be reasonable.

"The Xu Mansion sent someone to ask, how do you reply?" Lu asked in a low voice: "All the exams are over, please give me a letter?"

"On average, it depends on luck." Qian Yuan said this again, and continued with a smile: "When the list is released, my nephew will give an explanation to my uncle and uncle."

After pausing, Qian Yuan asked in a low voice: "By the way, has Xu Mansion come here to measure the size of Suiyuan?"

"It's over-measured."

"Didn't you say what wood is used?"

"Roodwood." Lu recalled, "It was said that a group of Annan Kingdom came from, and now it is difficult to find mahogany."

Mahogany grows very slowly. As furniture, it was mainly popular after Zheng He voyages to the West. This eunuch of Sanbao brought a large number of mahogany materials from Southeast Asia. The official families had no set of mahogany furniture and were ashamed to see people.

However, there are fewer and fewer mahogany materials on the market in recent years. A set of mahogany furniture... Xu Jie is quite generous in Tie Tie's family heirloom, and Qian Yuan expressed his satisfaction.

"Brother Zhan Cai, how did you answer the last question?" Xian Yu, who ran over hurriedly, asked repeatedly.

After sending my uncle away, Qian Yuan turned around for a while, "The last question... was the tax, right?"

“Yes, yes.”

"Just write it casually, just don't involve Hai Trade." Qian Yuan looked carefully, "Is the disease cured?"

After the first exam, I was carried back, but I kept going into the second exam, and the third exam has returned to normal. The young people are in good health.

"It's over, I'll get to Haimao." Xian Yu lowered his head in frustration.

Qian Yuan uttered and advised: "It's okay, I guess the examiner doesn't think much of the last game."

"But what if it seems?"

"Then let's come back after three years." Qian Yuan hugged the boy's shoulder and entered Suiyuan.

Well, the garden was quiet and there was no sound at all.

"Some have returned to the Zhejiang Guild Hall, and some have already gone to the guesthouse to sleep." Yang Wen walked over quietly, "I have told you to have a good sleep, and then..."

That night, the lights in the garden were not turned off all night.
