Chapter 6 Examination

"Master, I've brought you in."

The concierge said respectfully to the screen.

"Come in!"

A thick sound soon came from the screen.

Chen Qingyun walked forward, crossed the screen, and saw the two people inside the screen.

A tall and thin middle-aged man was Yang Zhengxiu, and another old man wearing wide and fat clothes, was obviously an important guest in the previous concierge.

"Chen Qingyun has met Mr. Yang and this adult."

Chen Qingyun gave a scholar ceremony and said.

"You are Boqian's son, and Boqian and I are classmates, so just call me Uncle Yang.

Speaking of which, I haven’t seen each other for three years. I didn’t expect that I have grown so big. I wonder if it’s going to be good lately?”

Yang Zhengxiu looked at Chen Qingyun and said politely.

The old man next to him smiled and didn't say anything.

"Thank you Uncle Yang to care, everything is fine."

Chen Qingyun thanked him, then hesitated for a moment, and simply said: "It's just that I want to ask Uncle Yang for help."

"What's up?"

Yang Zhengxiu had expected it, and a hint of relaxation appeared on his face.

"It's like that, the boy dares to participate in this spring scientific test.

I was just because I had no guarantee for the essay. During the three years of mourning, I was not familiar with other students, so I wanted to ask Uncle Yang to protect me and participate in this scientific examination."

Chen Qingyun replied quickly.

"this……"

Yang Zhengxiu was stunned when he heard this, but a hint of disgrace appeared on his face.

"What? Zheng Xiu is a scholar who is a student in the imperial examination. He should have a guaranteed place?"

The old man couldn't help but ask when he saw this.

"I have a quota in my hand, but you know that I have a quota inkstone and I will also participate in the scientific examination this year. I have exchanged the quota with the Qi family's old scholar Qi to protect his nephew Qi Wenmo."

Yang Zhengxiu showed a hint of helplessness on his face and continued, "If it were earlier, I could have helped you deal with it. Now, many children will probably have secured each other..."

Chen Qingyun's heart sank.

"When did you become a child? I remember that if the boy tried it, it was not long before spring began in the beginning of the year, and it should still be your mourning period, right?"

At this moment, the old man with wide robe couldn't help asking.

"The exam passed in Shengjing City five years ago."

Chen Qingyun replied.

"Five years ago? At that time, weren't you ten years old?"

The old man with wide robe was shocked, and Yang Zhengxiu, who was beside him, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He passed the boy test at the age of ten, and was in a place where competition was extremely fierce... You should know that the scientific examinations of the Daxia Dynasty were significantly different from the difficulty of each region.

The more prosperous the literary style is, the more difficult it will be to pass the exam and obtain fame such as childish students, scholars, etc.

Because the competition is too great, the same talent may be able to win the first place in some remote and barren places with literary style and poor writing style, but in those places with literary style and outstanding people, it may be difficult for even a hundred people to enter, and there is even the possibility of failing the exam.

In Shengjing City, under the feet of the emperor, countless royal nobles, high-ranking officials, magistrates, and scholars gathered. Their literary style is extremely prosperous. If you want to stand out from it, it is naturally the most difficult to pass the exam for a child.

But Chen Qingyun passed the exam at the age of ten?

They were really shocked.

child prodigy!

This can definitely be called a child prodigy.

"That's right."

Chen Qingyun nodded.

In fact, when he passed the exam for the Tongsheng exam, he was nine years old, and he was on the list with the first place in the children's exam.

But he didn't explain deliberately, and his face seemed calm.

"I have always known that Chen Boqian is amazingly talented and has great literary talent. Unexpectedly, his son has better literary talent.

In this way, I'll take the exam to see if your talents are real or not."

The old man in broad clothes looked at Chen Qingyun and couldn't help but become excited and said quickly.

He couldn't help but feel a little bit loving in his heart.

But if you say it without any evidence, he will naturally have to take the test and verify it normally.

Moreover, when you are young, you may not be better.

He also wanted to see if Chen Qingyun still had corresponding talents at this time.

"My teacher's surname is Pei, his name is Yuanfang, and his courtesy name is Jingheng. He is a Jinshi in the 13th year of Shengde. Now he is the Xuezheng of Tongzhou Prefecture, and he is the eighth rank. If he speaks, you can easily solve your problem."

Yang Zhengxiu, who was beside him, said hurriedly.

"Mr. Pei, please ask."

Chen Qingyun was stunned and knew that Shengde was the title of the previous emperor. It was twenty-five years since then. The other party was at the eighth rank. Although it was not considered a success, he could definitely be regarded as an important figure for him, so he naturally did not dare to neglect it.

Not to mention, the other party is someone who can easily solve his scientific research and protection.

"good."

Pei Jingheng nodded, then smiled and said, "Don't hunt or hunt, Hu Zhanerting has a county special? What is the previous sentence, what does it mean?"

"If you don't have crops or flies, you can get three hundred billion grains?"

Chen Qingyun answered immediately without thinking.

He knew that this was a poem called "Fa Tan" from the Book of Songs. Not to mention that last night, he used the light of the full moon to read the Book of Songs. He happened to have seen this one. Even before, he remembered all the Four Books and Five Classics that must be learned in the scientific examination, and memorized them all.

Soon afterwards, he casually explained the source and meaning of this poem, which was quickly and naturally.

"good."

Pei Jingheng nodded and asked again: "That person treats himself as if he is seeing his lungs and liver..."

Immediately afterwards, he asked several questions, covering various chapters of the Four Books and Five Classics and some classic works. Chen Qingyun answered them one by one without thinking, reflecting his good academic skills.

Yang Zhengxiu, who was standing beside him, was also amazed when he saw it.

Although he has the reputation of a scholar, he has gradually lost his studies since he failed the exam three times in a row. Therefore, most of the questions his teacher just asked just now cannot answer.

Even, he believed that even if he had not abandoned his studies, it would be difficult to answer the teacher's questions one by one.

Because there are several problems, which are not necessarily subjects for the imperial examination.

As a result, these problems that he thought were extremely difficult were as simple as turning a book on paper in front of Chen Qingyun.

"Okay, it's true that you have a good knowledge and a good memory. You also have a very thorough understanding of the articles of saints.

Just based on your current knowledge, not to mention being a scholar, even a juren, it is enough to pass the exam."

Pei Jingheng looked at Chen Qingyun, became more excited and admired, but he still said, "However, the question I just asked can only prove your academic knowledge.

But for us literati, the best proverb is poetry.
