I'm just a dude

Qi Yuan instinctively felt that Xu Yu must have encountered some difficulties, otherwise he would be fine, and would not suddenly leave early and return late.He was very worried, but felt that there was nothing he could do to help, so he could only secretly pray for Xu Yu.

NO.18 On this day, each class sent a special invigilator instructor over.Qi Yuan got up early and memorized Xu Ting's finished manuscript again. When the exam started, he saw that the topic was exactly the same as what Ruan Hong had inquired about, so he breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his pen and carefully fell silent.

There are many types of exams in the Imperial College, and the average is almost once a month.The content of the exam this time is similar to that of the ten-day exam. It is a four-book question and a strategy theory.

Every time you take an exam, the score will be recorded by the instructor, and if you do well in the exam, you will be rewarded with silver.The first-class one gets one tael of silver, and the second and third prizes are rewarded with 8 qian, in descending order.If you do well in the exam, you can consider promotion.If you get below the third grade in the three exams, you will be expelled from school.

Although Qi Yuan didn't like Guozijian, he was a little scared when he thought of being expelled from school.After all, Yuanshen has always been a child prodigy in Shuntian Mansion, from Taifu Yang to You Ji, everyone has high hopes on him.If he doesn't do well in the exam, he can still find some reasons to say that he is not performing well.But if he was expelled from the Imperial College, it would be really embarrassing, and he would not know how much ridicule he would cause.

But when talking about Taifu, Qi Yuan couldn't help but think of what Fang Chenghe told him a few days ago, it will be the teacher's mother's birthday in a few days, let him make preparations, and then we will go to see Taifu together.

Qi Yuan never understood how Yang Taifu became the teacher of the original body, but after inquiring about it, he found out that it was Yang Taifu who took him as the head of the case in the Shuntian Mansion Taoist Examination, and he was also his teacher.

It's just that the old matriarch was depressed enough, and he took a young child prodigy to be the head of the case, but was ordered by the emperor not to take part in the scientific examination for six years.It is also pitiful to choose someone with outstanding looks and literary talents as the second, and then be forced to become a son-in-law by the princess.

Qi Yuan shook his head secretly, thinking many thoughts in his mind.

The test papers were just handed out, and no one answered the questions right away, so he didn't dare to show off, so he waited silently at the side until noon, when others had an idea and started to write, he pretended to write Xu Ting's essay as well. go up.

This test is a whole day.Qi Yuan waited for Ruan Hong to hand in the paper together, when the two of them came out, seeing that it was still early, they went to Shepu to have fun again.

There are already a few supervisors practicing archery over there, Qi Yuan has never learned this before, and now he doesn't teach much in archery classes, so he goes behind the house to watch the excitement.

When I got closer, I realized that there were two familiar figures among the people standing there.

Ren Yan hadn't seen Xu Ting for many days.In the past, he was not often with Xu Yu in the Imperial College, but since the last time he saw Qi Yuan living with Xu Yu, he felt uncomfortable in every possible way.He wanted to find a chance to have a talk with Xu Yu, but for some reason, he always bumped into Xu Yu and Qi Yuan going in and out together.

It wasn't until these two days that Xu Yu returned to his previous solitary appearance that he was a little relieved, and handed in the papers early, and when Xu Yu came out, he came to the shooting garden to practice archery together.

The brothers of the Xu family have all practiced martial arts since childhood, and Xu Yu's archery skills are even more superb, which is really rare among the supervisors.It was not easy for Ren Yan to make an appointment with Xu Yu to Shepu, and many people came here admiringly.He was proud and depressed, he had to hold back his words to persuade Xu Xuan to stay away from Qi Yuan, but before he had a chance to say it, he saw that little annoying Qi Yuan also came.

Ren Yan was so angry that he glanced at Qi Yuan and turned his head away.

Qi Yuan let out a "hey", curled his lips, and asked Ruan Hong: "Is there something wrong with him? When he sees me, his nose is not his nose or his eyes?"

Ruan Hong didn't like Ren Yan either, so he said "Hi" and said, "Who knows, maybe he doesn't like our kind of students. He is a great talent, and the word Wenying, doesn't Wenying mean outstanding literary talent?"

Ren Yan really only associates with good academic performance.

Qi Yuan was not convinced, he snorted and said, "What's so great, it's not as good as my big brother Fang."

Ruan Hong said: "That's right, he's more talented than him."

Fang Chenghe is good at writing articles, reciting poems and composing lyrics, and even more good at painting.The more they thought about it, the more proud they felt, and now they didn't bother to go there, and chose a place to play by themselves.

Although Ruan Hong is not good at school, he has been practicing archery for several years, and he showed Qi Yuan two moves first, and he hit a hundred hits.Qi Yuan was envious of him from the bottom of his heart, and kept praising him from the sidelines.Ruan Hong was so happy that he simply pulled him over and taught him how to draw a bow hand in hand.

Xu Yu had seen the two of them coming a long time ago, and was still nervous for a long time.Whoever wanted to turn their heads, those two people went elsewhere without even saying hello.

He couldn't help but look up, and saw Qi Yuan was holding a small bow in his hand, standing upright.Ruan Hong was behind him, holding his wrist with one hand, and patting his back arm with the other, as if teaching him how to exert strength.

Qi Yuan's excited little face was reddish, his mouth was slightly opened, and his eyes were narrowed.After posing like this for a long time, I finally pulled hard enough.It's just that the arrow didn't go through the air, but in the eyes of everyone, it wobbled and fell two steps away.

Qi Yuan was taken aback, and looked down at the small bow in his hand in disbelief.Xu Yu was wondering if he would be ashamed, when he saw the two people over there burst into laughter at the same time, and they just laughed like this.

Ren Yan kept looking at the situation over there, and snorted coldly when he saw it, "It's really similar."

Xu Yu hesitated for a moment, then asked him: "You don't seem to like Brother Shen?"

He originally wanted to ask Ren Yan if he didn't like Qi Yuan, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that Qi Yuan's name was a bit hot, and he didn't know what tone to pronounce it properly.

Ren Yan didn't notice his uneasiness, so he just hummed: "Don't starve to death, Confucian crowns often miss their posts, and the Guozijian is full of such indiscretions, so the style of study will go from bad to worse."

Ren Yan had suffered a lot before remarrying with his mother, so he couldn't get used to these playboys.The Duke of the State liked him for being upright and honest, so he stayed in Xu's residence several times and invited famous teachers for him.

Xu Ting also complained about the atmosphere of the Guozijian, but he didn't think Ruan Hong and Qi Yuan were annoying, so he kept his mouth shut.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ren Yan snorted, "Brother Zijing probably doesn't know about the matter of accepting millet supervisors outside. It is said that the qualifications for admission to prison outside have been fired from 800 taels of silver to 2000 taels, that is, who can afford 2000 taels of silver?" , Even if you are illiterate, you can enter the prison to study at any time. In the future, after you get the qualifications, you will be released as an official and your wife and son will be sealed, it is not ridiculous!"

Xu Yu said: "The matter of accepting millet is probably because of the severe drought this year, and the treasury is empty."

"As long as there is a shortage of years, borders, and large-scale construction projects, will the imperial court set up regular prisons or simply sell officials and nobles?" Ren Yan sneered, "That really knows how to take shortcuts!"

"Wenying..." Xu Yu froze, quickly stopped him, and persuaded him in a low voice, "Don't talk about government affairs in prison."

Ren Yan's face turned pale slightly, he pursed his lips and turned away angrily.

Seeing his angry expression, Xu Yu was afraid that other people would hear these words, so she hurriedly told him to leave.

From the corner of his eyes, Qi Yuan saw the two of them whispering together intimately, and he was a little unconvinced. When he saw the two of them walking away, he curled his lips, and suddenly felt that it was meaningless, so he waved his little bow: "No more training practiced!"

Ruan Hong said: "It's only been so long, you can leave before you practice!"

He was quite happy to teach Qi Yuan, but he didn't enjoy it right now, so he held on to him, dragged Qi Yuan back, and forced him to give him the bow: "Try again, a famous teacher produces a good student, I guarantee you can learn from me." A hundred steps through the Yang and come out."

Qi Yuan's arm strength was weak, but he had no other place to go, and no one else to play with, so he had to continue practicing archery with Ruan Hong for the next few days.However, his hands were almost worn out, and he hadn't practiced the ability to walk through Yang with a hundred steps, and his arms were still very sore.

He didn't have much patience, and then he stopped practicing. If Ruan Hong wanted to pull him, he made a bet with Ruan Hong.

Ruan Hong prides himself on being a romantic young man in the middle of the capital. He gambled with him on drinking, betting and throwing pots, and later on playing chess and playing Shuanglu, but none of them won.Qi Yuan still felt that he was unfamiliar, and he had blown out a few of them, and even compared spelling with Ruan Hong all day long.

The more they played, the more speculative they became, and they played tricks to fool Fang Chenghe.

The exam was just finished recently, and the instructor didn't arrange to re-speak, Fang Chenghe saw that the two couldn't control it at all when they got together, so they simply let go and let them go. They had a good time happily for a few days.

In the blink of an eye, it was April, and Qi Yuan stumbled a little because he remembered the embarrassing things he said last time, so he memorized Fang Chenghe's "Compilation" almost by heart.But it's strange to say that ever since he became a little more confident, the Guozijian's re-speaking lottery has never drawn him again.

Occasionally, he just memorized the questions that others drew, and he felt itchy in his heart. He stretched his head and brain to think about it in the team, but the instructors turned a blind eye, which made him very depressed.

In late April, Guangyetang had another exam.Although Xu Yu has been going out early and coming back late this month, and didn't talk to him very much, when Qi Yuan came to look for the exam questions, he still wrote the answers for him, and Qi Yuan happily copied them as usual.

In two days it will be the teacher's wife's birthday.

Qi Yuan felt that he answered the questions well, so he had to go with Fang Chenghe to ask for a leave of absence early the next morning.Who knew that just after the ascension ceremony, Jijiu came to their class in person.

The supervisors in the school looked at each other and stood up to salute.The students in Guangyetang are divided into ten classes, most of them are dudes, they seldom come over for sacrificial wine, and it is not known whether it is a blessing or a curse to appear suddenly today.

Qi Yuan was also puzzled, and exchanged a glance with Ruan Hong, desperately thinking whether the thing about setting up a game together these few days had been exposed.He muttered in his heart, so he stood up very honestly, looking forward with a cute face.

Gong Jijiu really took a serious look at him, then coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Qi Yuan and Fang Chenghe, the Xinzi class of Guangyetang, are allowed to be promoted to the monastery hall because of their excellent performance in the examination."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and when they came back to their senses, they all cheered and congratulated Fang Chenghe and Qi Yuan endlessly.

Gong Jijiu also glanced at the two with a smile: "The craftsmanship you two have made is pure and magnificent, and it is an example for all living beings." It is a very high evaluation for Jijiu to say this.

Fang Chenghe saluted respectfully and said, "Students are ashamed."

Only Qi Yuan came to his senses after half a day, and he was dumbfounded with a "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"—he asked Xu Xuan to write a ghostwriting, but he forgot to tell him that the writing was a little bit worse!

The author has something to say:

Xu Ting: Let go of my Yuanyuan, let me come!

Fang Chenghe: Hehe, I have been promoted.
