The private school has two parts, inside and outside. The front hall is relatively small, which is a place for receiving guests. The back hall is surrounded by several large rooms, and there is a large courtyard in the middle.

Wen Yu stood in the hall, and after waiting for less than half an hour, an old man with white hair and a goatee came out from behind the curtain.The emaciated literati she imagined were different, with a rather imposing manner. This person should be Lu Fuzi.

Wen Yu lowered her eyes, cupped her hands and bowed in a respectful manner.

"Hello, master."

Mrs. Lu waved his hand and motioned her to sit down: "Are you here to study, or are you signing up for someone else."

"It's students who come to study."

Master Lu glanced at her: "What's your name, how old are you?"

"Student Wen Yu, fourteen years old, fifteen years old."

Master Lu heard his words: "You can read."

"Student literacy."

Master Lu looked her up and down again. He was neither humble nor overbearing. The child was in a good mood, and his attitude was a little gentle: "Where did you read the book?"

"The students have finished reading the Four Books and Five Classics."

Mrs. Lu glanced at her again, with some interest in his eyes: "Can you recite it all, can you write it silently?"

Wen Yu's expression was very calm: "Yes."

Mrs. Lu stroked his beard, but this time his eyes were scrutinizing: "Okay, memorize "Meng Zi Teng Wen Gong Xia" once."

"Chen Dai said: "If you don't see the princes, it's better to be Xiaoran.Now that I see it, the big one is the king, and the small one..."

"Then do you understand the meaning of it?" Wen Yu roughly said what she had figured out. If it wasn't for her major in her previous life, she might just memorize it without understanding the meaning.

Mrs. Lu looked at him with different eyes from the beginning. Although his understanding was young, it was not lacking in new ideas.

"Come in, I'll give you a pen and paper, and write it silently."

Master Lu saw that her handwriting was compact and regular, with light horizontal and vertical weight, strong and round strokes, and clean curls, so he couldn't help but praise her.

"Your foundation is very good. Have you ever attended other private schools or invited teachers?"

Wen Yu replied: "Students started their enlightenment at the age of four, and learned "The Analects of Confucius" at the age of six. Later, their family fortunes fell, and they were self-study after that."

Mrs. Lu pulled his beard subconsciously, and learned the Analects of Confucius at the age of six. If this child has never lied, his talent is astonishing.

The family is in decline, these four words are really heartbreaking, Master Lu sighed.The world is like this, and can't complain——

Master Lu: "Are you planning to take the county examination in February next year?"

Wen Yu blinked suspiciously: "Can students participate at this level?"

Lu Fuzi: "The first three exams test the understanding and memory of the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as the candidates' basic writing skills. If what you say is true, then you can do it."

After examining some of her content, Mr. Lu has already believed her words to a great extent.

However, Mrs. Lu glanced at the coarse cotton coat on Wen Yu's body, and turned his gaze over the patch a few times, thoughtfully.

According to the regulations of this dynasty, candidates for the imperial examination need one hundred essays for each examination paper, and the county examination generally takes three subjects in three days.In addition, to sign up for the county test, the county's granny is required to be a guarantee. According to the usual practice, each person needs to pay the granny two taels of silver, which is another considerable expense.

The child seemed to be from a poor family, Master Lu frowned: "You don't need to rush to pay the tuition."

"Master!" Isn't he planning to accept himself?

"You sit here first."

Mrs. Lu went back to the back room and came out after a stick of incense.

"This is a set of test papers, you take it back and do it first. Come to me the day after tomorrow, and I will review it for you."

Wen Yu's eyes were filled with joy and gratitude, and she bowed deeply to Mrs. Lu.

Wen Yu: "Thank you Master, I will definitely finish it seriously."

The test paper includes three general scopes, which are consistent with the content of the county test, posting scriptures, Moyi, and essays.

Tiejing and Moyi accounted for as much as half of this set of test papers.The scope is the Four Books and Five Classics, as long as you can write it correctly and understand the meaning, it is not difficult; and the essays are to test the candidate's writing style.Generally speaking, as long as the candidates' basic skills are solid enough, it is not a problem to pass the county test.

It’s just that the amount of questions in the test paper is relatively large, and some of the postings even require the full text to be written silently; as for the essays, there are two, and the number of words is also limited.

Xiaonian, the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month.

After this day, she will be fifteen years old.

Wen Yu cooked himself a bowl of Longevity Noodles as usual, and the cooking skills were not better than last year.

But it is more hopeful than in previous years.

On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Wen Yu came to Lu Yigui's home early with the completed papers.

"Master, I have finished writing."

Mrs. Lu has already inquired about the specific situation of Wen Yu's family in the past two days, and his love for this young man has increased.

Correcting a complete set of test papers, he touched the goatee and sighed, and sure enough, he didn't miss it, this kid is really smart.

"Did you ever read a book when you were making the paper?" Master Lu looked at the pleasing paper.

"Students never."

Master Lu couldn't help nodding his head. There were no mistakes in the scriptures, and the essays could be rated as above-average works, so the county examination would definitely not be a problem.

"Good! Good! Wen Yu, every fifth day, the private school will be closed for bathing. You come to my house at that time, and I will personally tutor you."

Mrs. Lu told Wen Yu to get her money ready, there were four people in the private school who were planning to take the exam, and when the registration day came, he would take the five of them to find the teacher in a few days.

Wen Yu's eyes were red, and she knelt down and kowtowed three times to Lu Yigui.

"Thank you Master, the students will never forget the great kindness of Master."

Two months have passed since then, at the beginning of February, the day after tomorrow is the county examination.

Lingchang County is ten miles away from Yongshui Village. On weekdays, Wen Yu often takes this road to the town, and it takes about an hour according to her footsteps.

Even when she checked her college entrance examination results in her previous life, she was not as nervous as she is now.

On the day of the county examination, it was still dark, and Wen Yu had already set off. There were three or four steamed buns in the bag, a water bag, and a better bag that contained writing tools such as brushes, inkstones, and so on.

This year's winter is not as cold as last year's, and there is less snowfall. It is a warm winter.However, in February, the cold wind in the morning blew across the cheeks and penetrated through the gap between the neck and the cotton-padded jacket, and it was still unstoppably cold.

The ceremonial house in Lingchang County is on the outskirts of the county seat. There are not many residents here, and there are almost no people there on weekdays.

When Wen Yu first arrived, there was already a queue in front of her.

Candidates gathered in front of the ceremony room included old and young, old people with gray hair, and children about ten years old. Their faces had a resolute expression, which was a sense of sacred solemnity.

The imperial examination is the only way for ordinary people in this era to go to official career and change their class.

It was just dawn, and the front of the ceremony hall was filled with darkness, full of people who came to take the exam. At first glance, there must be a hundred or so people.Lingchang County is not big, so many people gather together, except for temple fairs and festivals, this is the only time.

There are many people, but very quiet.

The yamen servants at the gate yelled and began to enter the arena.

It was Wen Yu's turn, her heart was beating fast, her face had been stiffened by the cold wind, and her nervousness could not be seen.

Fortunately, as she had learned, the yamen servants would only ask the candidates to take off the outer coats to check whether they carried cheating tools such as cheat sheets in the package.

The inspector held a portrait that was not very similar to the real person, but Li Jia marked the candidate's characteristics on it: beauty, wealth, appearance, and medium stature. After comparing it up and down, she was allowed to enter.

Wen Yu stood in the hall holding the test card.After about half an hour, all the candidates had entered the venue.Then, after the chief official offered incense to the sage and taught the rules of the examination room, the examination began.

Finding her examination seat, it wasn't particularly dirty, Wen Yu wiped off the dust with a rag, polished the pen and ink, and waited for the hair to be rolled.

Post scriptures on the first day, Mo Yi on the second day, and essays on the third day.

The test papers were sent out.

According to the habit, Wen Yu read all the test questions and began to answer the paper.

It is not difficult to fill in the blanks in the articles in the Four Books and Five Classics, but the amount of questions is very large.

Wen Yu tried the test pen on the blank paper, wrote a few words, and concentrated on answering the questions.

Checked again and again, there was no mistake, Wen Yu put down the pen, the ink was dry.

It's time to hand in the paper.

On the second day, Mo Yi and Wen Yu were also the first to hand in the papers.

Essay on the third day, still the same.

After the exam, her mood brightened, Wen Yu nodded the copper coins in her hand, and decided to have a good meal today.

Wen Yu found a small restaurant nearby and waited for the dishes to be served.

Most of the candidates probably thought this way, so the restaurants near the auditorium were all full, basically all students who came to take the exam.

"Brother, you are also a candidate for the county examination this year, right? There are no other places, can I share a table with you?" One person asked her very politely.

Wen Yu raised his head, and what came into view was a chubby little brother, dressed in light yellow low cotton jacket, with a brocade cotton cap on his head, he looked about the same age as himself, he looked like a landlord in a TV drama who was spoiledDrowning young son.

Wen Yu put down the chopsticks, stood up, and found that this person was about the same height as her.She looked around and nodded, "Of course."

After hearing this, he showed a bright smile to Wen Yu.

"Jin Yushan, come here quickly, I have found a place."

"oh."

A young man wearing an indigo cotton robe walked in from outside the store. His face was not clearly visible due to the backlight.It was obviously very noisy here, but this man's voice was heard clearly in her ears.

When he got closer, Wen Yu realized that he was tall, at least half a head taller than herself, and the backlight made the shadows and outlines on his face more eye-catching.

Seeing that he is still a young man, his eyebrows are slanted upwards and grow wildly, his eyes are like bright stars, and there is a kind of unconcealable arrogance between his brows, can see that he nodded to Wen Yu lightly, with an indescribable expression on his face.The taste, that is a strong sense of oppression, not angry.

The chubby boy wiped off his non-existent sweat: "Hello, brother, my name is Cai Tianxian, and I am seventeen this year. This guy is called Jin Yushan, and I am sixteen this year. We are both from Lingchang County.Several restaurants have finally found vacancies."

The author has something to say:

Goose to his chin, Jin Yushan is about 1.9 meters tall⊙ω⊙

Because of the death of her relatives, the female goose didn't react much to the outside world and became numb.Although he is not stupid but rather stubborn, he will drill in one direction if he sees the truth.

In the early stage, the female goose has a slight social fear attribute. If you don't talk to me, I won't take the initiative to talk to you unless necessary. I don't like to take the initiative to socialize. Be honest.And because she worked for a short time in her previous life, she mainly lived in a relatively simple campus environment, and she had not experienced severe beatings from society; in this life, although her grandfather passed away, she had neighbors to help her, and she found a good teacher.The living environment is relatively simple.

So after experiencing a series of things later, the personality will gradually change. This is actually a story of a person growing up slowly.

But in essence, it is a piece of Suwen, what you want is to be a fan of people without knowing it.
