Did the prefect get the test paper wrong? It was clearly praising my article, so why did he feel Chen Yichen in the circle?

Xu Donghai still couldn't believe the result in front of him. Maybe this is his current age and his first experience in the ups and downs of life...

"Mr. Xie's red clothes are fine."

Seeing that his test paper was taken by the circle, Chen Yichen immediately bowed and thanked him.

"Don't thank you too early, our government will take the exam for you."

Li Min had a smile on her face. Although she said that, the operation process was reversed. In theory, she should take the exam first and then win.

Therefore, the exam that I took to the school is obviously a formality to avoid leaving any talk to others.

This picture is in the eyes of several other candidates waiting to hand in the paper. The emotions in their hearts are extremely complicated. The examiner is really biased and is a bit too obvious. If he is not a real talent and knowledge, then there must be a secret operation behind this!

"Please ask the prefect to give a question."

Li Min was really embarrassed about how to set questions and take the exam in class.

The couplets of conventional difficulty are definitely not very difficult with the talent shown by Chen Yichen, and they cannot show their strength to convince the public.

If the question is too difficult, I will first pass and then take the exam. If Chen Yichen can't answer, it will be a joke.

However, when his eyes glanced at the unwilling expressions on Xu Donghai and his men's faces, Li Min immediately had an idea in her heart. Today, Chen Yichen must show off two brushes!

"The field is lined with east and west, and the two literary lights are at the same level as the Beidou."

This first couplet is very particular. Each word contains profound meaning. The field column refers to the Xiajiang Examination House and is set up in the east-west direction. Wenguang represents literary talent, and Beidou is even simpler, similar to the ancient Wenquxing's description.

So this first couplet was told by Li Min that all the people who were talented in the exam were taken by him.

The first couplet has been released, and it is Chen Yichen's turn to be in a dilemma. It is not difficult to match the word group just by combining it. The difficulty lies in the fact that it also contains some profound meanings.

To be honest, if the prefect had not won the prefect in class, Chen Yichen would have suspected that this was Li Min making things difficult for me, Chen. How could such a difficult couplet have been produced in previous school exams?

Not only Chen Yichen thought so, but the other candidates who submitted the papers in advance also had murmurs in their hearts. They originally thought that Li Min had won the first pass and then took the exam, but the formalities were too obvious, so maybe there would be some secret operations behind it.

As a result, when you see the difficulty of this couplet, it doesn’t look like you can answer it in just a few sentences. From the heart, if you put the questions in this kind of exam, you may not be able to think of a good second couplet for a while.

Seeing Chen Yichen's face looked so embarrassed that he did not answer. Du Shi, the principal next to him, made a smooth move and said, "Mr. Prefecture, even if the senior official answers this test question, it will be difficult to come up with the answer in a while. Why don't you change the question?"

On the one hand, Du Shi made a smooth move, and on the other hand, he was also very concerned about what the hell is this prefect? ​​If you want to win, you will win. You can also give such a difficult first couplet in one go. Now it's frozen.

Not to mention Du Shi, the founder of the government, even Li Min felt a little embarrassed at this moment. If he had known, he would have walked through the normal form of taking the school exam in class, but on a whim, it would have increased the difficulty to convince Chen Yichen.

Now, if you don’t convince the public, you will definitely have rumors tomorrow. The examiner will be favored by personal gains. It’s really hard to even jump into the Yellow River...

"Why……"

Li Min sighed, regretting her sexual act, and planned to take the steps given by the Mansion Chief and change to a simpler couplet to take the exam. At this point, the circle has been drawn on the test paper, and even if you bite the bullet, you have to finish this process.

"Returning to the prefect, the student has already thought of the second couplet."

"Oh, say it."

Li Min suddenly felt relieved. He was indeed not wrong with Chen Yichen. Isn’t there any second couplet?

"The curtain is divided into the inside and outside, and a small joint is not ventilated."

In the second couplet, the "curtain" refers to the door curtain of the house. The joint is a metaphor, which refers to the behavior of bribery and requesting entrusted by human favors, money, back doors, etc.

In the first couplet, Li Min claimed that she was talented and was more from her own perspective. However, she objectively pointed out that Chen Yichen is a literary person.

So in the second couplet, Chen Yichen also praised him for going back, and there was no bribery and favoritism inside and outside the account. The examiner was honest and noble, and he did not understand the slightest link.

It can be said that Chen Yichen's second couplet has achieved perfection and perfection in terms of parallelism and intention, and is absolutely true!

"Sure enough, I did not disappoint our mansion's reputation. Yichen, you can go out first, and wait for the specific ranking."

Perhaps because of his great satisfaction, Li Min directly used the relatively close title of "Yichen". Theoretically, in the imperial examination area, there are only examiners and candidates, and they cannot be favored.

But Li Min still did this, which was enough to show that his valuation was not a false statement.

However, Li Min did not give a ranking in this test, but wanted to wait until the list was released. The reason is that the importance and specifications of the test were much higher than those of the test in the test. At least he had the title of a child, which represented a formal scholar.

"Mr. Xie is kind to you, and the student leaves."

Chen Yichen bowed his goodbye and turned around and left with a very casual look, leaving Xu Donghai and others with envious eyes.

However, when Shen Yichen had just walked out of Duzhi Building, Zhu Qingyu and others also handed in advance, hoping to get reviewed by the examiner in class.

When Xu Donghai and others saw the Zhu clan's family handing in advance, they couldn't help but mutter again when they saw that they were already convinced.

Could it be that the Duke Cheng’s Mansion has a wealth of talents and has completely surpassed Yingtian’s best Zhaowen Academy? Otherwise, how could the mansion test be done and everyone answered the questions with ease?

Of course, as the number of people submitting the papers in advance becomes impossible, these people will no longer be able to get the opportunity to review them in class. So Li Min just accepted the test papers and signaled that they could leave first.

Chen Yichen walked out of the "dragon gate" of the examination room, looked at the warm spring sun, and breathed heavily.

To be honest, the whole process of today's exam was not as easy as it seemed, especially the second interrogation question. Chen Yichen was completely unsure of it, just betting that he could find another way to succeed.

Those who may achieve great things do need a little luck to support Chen Yichen’s bet successfully. Li Min’s full-score idea was not about “ritual”, but about “order”.

However, this incident also gave Chen Yichen an inspiration, that is, in the future, he must not only consider the questions, but also the examiner.

In other words, you know the examiner's literary preferences in advance, check the test papers he has selected in previous sessions, and deliberately consider his preferences to minimize the risk of gambling.

In addition, Li Min's last couplet, Chen Yichen almost couldn't answer it. The main reason is that time is tight, and it is not easy to come up with a neat and meaningful lower couplet in a very short time.

Especially Li Min’s post was so difficult, and the underworld interrogation question made Chen Yichen wonder if this Yingtian Prefecture Prefecture had a bad taste of messing with students?

After adjusting his mentality, Chen Yichen quickly recovered as before and walked towards his return home.

The prefecture exam is different from the county exam. If he is won in class, he doesn’t need to take the exam again in the second exam. In other words, he just needs to wait at home for someone to come to report the good news.

In the small courtyard of his home, Shen was weaving cloth while silently reciting his son's mansion. After years of elementary school, this is the closest time for Chen Yichen to Tongsheng. I don't know if he can be won this time.

After all, when Chen Yichen is over 20 years old, he is the latest age for ancient men to twentieth. At that time, even the schoolchild is embarrassed to call him, but should change the title of Confucian child.

Thinking that he didn't even have a formal scholar at the age of twenty, even if Shen trusted his son extremely, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Just when Shen was worried, the gate of the courtyard was suddenly pushed open from the outside. When he saw that it was Chen Yichen who came back, Shen's first reaction was not to be happy, but his heart pounded. Could it be that his son had finished the house trial in advance?

"Chen'er, are you finished the exam?"

"Yeah, the exam is over."

Hearing this answer, Shen's heart sank to the bottom, and his son was really going home early to prepare for the next session.

However, in order not to hit Chen Yichen's message, Shen still forced a smile and said, "It's okay, Chen'er, you are still young, you will fight again next year."

"Fight again next year? Mom, will I fight for the local examination next year?"

"Middle Examination? Chen'er, are you talking nonsense with your brain too much in the exam? You haven't even passed the government exam. How can you get any provincial exam?"

"Mom, who told you that my house has not been tested? I went home after I passed it."

Chen Yichen was a little amused and crying. Every time he wanted to give his mother a surprise, he was always frightened when he got the reaction.

Maybe it was because the number of times the imperial examinations failed in the previous period, which made my mother think inertially.

"Don't you have to take two exams in the government exam? And it's still early, how could you pass the exam so quickly?"

Shen did not understand the rules of winning the class in class. He only knew that the county exam would take five days, the government exam would take two days, and the exam would take two days, and the exam would take the afternoon.

Chen Yichen went home just after noon, and he couldn't match any time.

"I was called by the prefect in advance, and now I can be called a child."

"Chen'er, take it seriously?"

In the eyes of many officials, the title of a child cannot be ranked at all, but for Shen, the expectation of the imperial examinations for so many years was to think that his son could win the title of a child and become a formal scholar.

"Mom, will I still lie to you? Someone will come to your home to report the good news and report the ranking of the government test in a few days."

Although Chen Yichen was not good at studying, he had never deceived himself in his grades before, so when he heard this, Shen no longer doubted.

"That's great, so good, Chen'er, you can finally be called a scholar!"

"Mom, please hurry up and fulfill your wish. By the way, go to the street to buy some good wine and meat, and pass the exam and ask your neighbors to celebrate."

According to ancient customs, feasts and celebrations must be held for those who have won the exam for fame and fortune like children and scholars.

Chen Yichen and his son don’t know much, and there are even fewer people who are willing to contact them because of their special identities, so they just need to cook a table of good meals at home and invite neighbors to their neighbors.

"Okay, I'll be happy to celebrate today."
