Yang Cong has already set the goal of taking the top scorer in the exam. So, should he immediately brag about his grandfather, ask for rewards, and then run to take the imperial examination excitedly?

This is a manifestation of a rash person. Of course, he would not be so rash. It’s nothing to brag about with others. He dare not talk nonsense in front of his grandfather Yang Rong.

He had already seen that his grandfather was a very mature and polite person. Such a person doesn't like others to brag in front of him.

If he ran to his grandfather just because he was hot and said, "I want to be the top scorer in the exam, then his grandfather would probably think that his grandson had a brain disease!"

If others think that his brain is sick, that's fine. If his grandfather thinks that his brain is sick, it will be in trouble. The Yang family is more than just his descendant. Will his grandfather hand over the huge family business to someone with abnormal brains?

Therefore, you cannot be impulsive, at least you cannot act like a stubborn person in front of his grandfather.

He ran to find his grandfather, but he did not mention the imperial examination.

He said with great utmost importance that he had not been to the county school for many days to listen to the lecture. He was afraid of delaying his studies, so he wanted to rush back and prepare immediately and go to the county school to continue his studies tomorrow morning.

Yang Rong was naturally very pleased that his grandson was so sensible. Not only did he agree happily, he also rewarded Yang Cong with a thousand taels of silver.

He knew that Yang Cong spent only about 500 taels of silver on this trip to the city, but the effect was surprisingly good. Not only did he meet Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng and other generals, he also climbed to the high branch of Xu Jie, the chief judge of the government office. Such achievements naturally require rewards, so he rewarded Yang Cong with an additional 500 taels of silver.

As for the Zhang family, Zhang Shen’s birthday party has been completed by now. It doesn’t matter whether Yang Cong is here or not, but Yang Rong has to stay here for two days to handle the aftermath before going back.

Yang Cong took Yu Dayou and others back to Hui'an. In order to understand the situation of the imperial examination as soon as possible, he specially asked Yu Dayou to ride on the carriage with him and chatted all the way.

This chat really surprised him.

This imperial examination is really not easy. Just a student or scholar has to go through four exams.

This scholar is not so easy to take. First of all, you must pass the county examination and the government examination to obtain the title of child student, and then you can participate in the college examination presided over by the emperor's imperial examination. You can pass the official examination and the re-examination of the college examination to obtain the fame of the scholar.

This guy, Xu Jie said so easily. It seems that taking a scholarship is like drinking porridge. It’s a trick, what about drinking porridge? This is a full four meals!

Fortunately, the questions are not very difficult. Judging from Yu Dayou's description, the test questions are just an eight-legged essay and a so-called test post poem. Moreover, the student examination does not require high requirements for eight-legged essays. As for test post poems, you can even think of various types of tests in advance. As long as it is not plagiarism, you can pass the average level of poetry.

This is a bit complicated to take the exam for a scholar, but no matter how complicated it is, he must be. He is a man who is determined to take the top scorer. How could he be scared by a scholar exam?

After returning to Hui'an, he began to prepare for the exam for the scholarship.

The first thing is to register.

This imperial examination is not a joke. It is not that you stand on the street and shout, "I want to take the imperial examination", and then you can take the exam. If you want to take the imperial examination, you must go to the county government to register with the imperial examination.

So, what kind of official is the county magistrate?

The county magistrate is actually a professor of county schools, that is, Mr. Yan, who teaches. Speaking of which, this old man is still a serious eighth-rank official, but he can manage students and Tongsheng, and has no other power. In Yang Cong's eyes, his power is even worse than that of county magistrates.

Of course, this is just Yang Cong’s personal opinion. In the eyes of others, this teaching is an extraordinary official, because "everything is inferior, but only reading is high"!

No matter how a scholar-in-law is, who else is awesome? In Hui'an, except for the county magistrate, the teaching master is the most awesome.

Yang Cong didn't care how awesome Mr. Yan was. After returning to Yang's mansion, he took Yu Dayou to the county school and came to find Mr. Yan.

The reason why he was so anxious to find Mr. Yan was not only for the imperial examination, but also one thing was very important, that is, his personal safety.

Chen Wenjie didn't know if he would seek pirates or even Japanese pirates to retaliate against him, so he couldn't take it lightly.

With Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan moved in, the Yang Mansion or the compound he lived in was relatively safe. However, there was no security guarantee during his time in the county school. Who knew if Chen Wenjie would make someone attack on the way or even rushed into the county school to kill people. This guy is a lawless master.

Regarding the safety issues of going to the county school, he also discussed with Yu Dayou on the way, that is, let Yu Dayou accompany him to go to the county school.

Yu Dayou is a serious student. He has won the reputation of a scholar more than ten years ago and is naturally qualified to go to the county school.

However, he is a student from Quanzhou Prefecture City. If he wants to come to Hui'an to go to school, he has to be familiar with the county's teaching dictator.

Just so happens that Mr. Yan has to be asked for the imperial examination, so Yang Cong simply brought Yu Dayou with him and did the two things together.

It was almost time for You to come, and it was time for the county school to end. Yang Cong and Yu Dayou stood outside the gate of the school for a while, and a group of students rushed out of the inside.

The first ones came out were those poor scholars. Although they saw Yang Cong, they pretended not to see it.

There is no way, I hate the rich. This poor scholar and the children of rich families are like natural enemies. They are incompatible with each other. They are already polite. If it weren't for Yang Cong's family's strength, they would probably have choked on anything like "a good dog will not block the way".

After the poor scholars were exposed, there were several births. When they saw Yang Cong, they were very enthusiastic. However, when they heard that Yang Cong was coming to find Mr. Yan, they immediately escaped. Just kidding, that old guy is so fierce that anyone can play with him.

After the students left, Yang Cong quickly walked into the school and bowed to Mr. Yan who was about to get up, "Sir, the student is back."

Mr. Yan was shocked by the sudden sound behind him. He subconsciously picked up the bamboo ruler on the table and stared back.

He fainted and turned out to be Yang Cong. This student was not easy to beat. As the saying goes, "He is soft in his hands and eats people's mouths." He charged Yang Cong a consultation fee of 100 taels of silver. If he beats him up again, it would be too unauthorized.

He secretly put down the bamboo ruler and said helplessly: "If you come back, come back. Why are you running sneakily behind me? I almost got scared by you."

Seeing this, Yang Cong hurriedly bowed and apologized: "Sorry, sorry, sir, the student hasn't seen sir for a long time. He is so excited, rude, rude."

Mr. Yan shook his head and said helplessly: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

He knew that Yang Cong would not come to him if he had nothing to do, especially when he was absent from school at this time, so Yang Cong must have something to do when he came over.

Yang Cong was not in a hurry, but he bowed slowly and said, "The student wants to invite the teacher to have a meal together. I wonder if the teacher can appreciate his face."

It’s good to have a meal!

When Mr. Yan heard this, he couldn't help but look excited in his eyes. It's not that he cares about this food. The main reason is that Yang Cong likes to give away money when he invites people to dinner.
