How to make a famous minister

Chapter 51

Fan Xuanchao had never felt such a pain in his head, as if someone had hacked him from behind with an axe, as if Athena was about to pop out of his head in the next second.

While Gu Yu and Jing Zhe helped him wash and drink honey water, they also complained: "Young master went out to drink, and I don't know how to evade it. After drinking like that, it's not good after all."

Jing Zhe felt distressed, "Master drank so much, he vomited all over when he came back, and now he has a headache again, next time he should not drink so much. If they want to persuade them, let them persuade them."

"Did I vomit? Spit on Huiding?" Fan Xuanchao was startled. It's no wonder that the first thing he thought of was Ni Houzhan. After all, according to his identity, Zhu Youjian would not send him back in person, but according to his relationship. Said that Ni Houzhan is also his best friend.

"Young master Ni didn't send the young master back. It was His Highness Xin Wang who sent the young master back, and he is currently in the courtyard of the guest room." Jing Zhe said, she looked around, approached Fan Xuanchao and whispered, "The guards brought by His Highness Xin Wang , are vicious, completely different from the nursing home in our mansion."

Fan Xuanchao didn't think much about it at all, just smiled and said: "That's the bodyguard brought out from the palace by His Royal Highness Xin Wang, so the ones in our mansion can't be compared with others."

Jing Zhe stood awkwardly, and didn't say anything more, when he raised his eyes, Gu Yu gave him another stare, stuck out his tongue, and went out with a water basin.

Gu Yu tied up Fan Xuanchao's hair before saying, "I heard from Jing that His Highness Wang Xin has already woken up."

"Then Gu Yu, hurry up, I'm going to see His Highness Xin Wang." Fan Xuanchao looked in the mirror left and right, but the bronze mirror was blurred, and nothing could be seen, which made Gu Yu chuckle instead.

Fan Xuanchao also felt that there was nothing wrong, so he casually went out.

Zhu Youjian is teaching Fan Xuanlang Wu Qin Xi in the yard.Fan Xuanchao didn't expect to see this scene as soon as he came out, and he was a little surprised. "Good morning, Your Highness. Langer."

"Brother is up?" Fan Xuanlang stopped learning at once, jumped over, and opened his mouth and said, "Big slob! I only get up when the sun is drying my ass!"

Zhu Youjian couldn't help coughing twice.

Fan Xuanchao didn't care whether Fan Xuanlang was old or young, he patted his head, "Langer wakes up early, sleeps early and wakes up early to be healthy."

When Fan Xuanlang was young, he still enjoyed being pampered and felt that he was being praised. Now that he has grown up, he doesn't like people touching his head.He patted Fan Xuanchao's hand, "Brother, don't touch my head."

Fan Xuanchao laughed, touched it again, walked in front of Zhu Youjian, and apologized: "Yesterday, I was drunk in front of His Highness Xin Wang. It really shouldn't be. In the end, His Highness Xin will send me back to delay His Highness's return." The palace is even more hateful."

Zhu Youjian waved his hand, not minding these trivial matters.Instead, he became curious about Fan Xuanchao's house and asked Fan Xuanchao to take him around.

This is of course no problem, Fan Xuanchao took Zhu Youjian to visit the Fan Mansion, but Fan Xuanlang couldn't play with him, he was going to study at Mr. Chen's place.

Zhu Youjian remembered that Fan Jingwen had rented here for more than ten years in the capital, and now he had the opportunity to visit the house of Buer Shangshu, and the house where Han Yuan grew up was also very interesting.

The three-entry yard has to accommodate the master and servants, and also allocates yards for each of them. No yard is just that big, and you can even look from one end of the yard to the other end of the yard at a glance. Zhu Youjian, who lived in the palace from the bottom up, and believed in the palace next time, felt a little aggrieved.Fortunately, Fan Xuanchao introduced the embarrassing stories of Fan Xuanlang who is not around in the yard one by one, which made it not so boring.

It's just that Zhu Youjian is still a little bit lost seeing Fan Xuanchao's appearance as a handsome young man in troubled times.

————————————————————————————————————————————

The beginning of spring has passed, next is summer, and then it is autumn.

Although Fan Jingwen is not in the capital, since the beginning of summer, he has been sending letters every three days, one letter and one letter, all of which are full of the kindness of a father who hopes that his son will become a dragon, and can't wait to encourage the seedlings to grow.

Except for asking Fan Xuanchao to tell Fan Xuanlang to listen to Mr. Chen's words, the letter was all about exhorting Fan Xuanchao to make progress and work hard.

The rural examination is more difficult than the college examination, but in Mr. Chen's view, it seems to be just a small slope that Fan Xuanchao has to pass.Fan Xuanchao recited the papers written by famous scholars, champions and elders of the court every day, pondering every chapter, reciting every day, and his writing has improved a lot.

He was bored in the yard for the whole summer doing the final sprint. He hoped day and night that he would finish the rural exam as soon as possible. This kind of worrying day would pass away soon. As for what the rural exam was and how he was studying, he didn't bother to care about him. .

But when the science exam was about to come, Fan Xuanchao felt flustered and sweated coldly, and would rather wait another two years before taking the exam——I still haven't finished reviewing the last two essays!

No matter how Fan Xuanchao changed his mind, the township examination still came as scheduled.

With the experience of last time, Fan Xuanchao was much calmer this time.There were fewer people in the rural examination than in the college examination, but Fan Xuanchao saw that there were many people older than him, but children who were about his age or younger did not show up.

Candidates for the rural examination were either confident or fearful, but most of them did not have the lifeless appearance they saw during the college examination.Maybe it's because he passed the college examination and became a scholar. Anyway, he stepped into the ranks of scholars one step at a time, and the pressure was not so great.It may also be because there are no cut-and-answer questions in the township examination, and the pressure in my heart is not so great.

As far as Fan Xuanchao is concerned, he is better at answering questions, so Mr. Chen specially trained him to answer orthodox questions.What he is most afraid of in the rural examination is the almost overwhelming number and intensity of the questions.

The township examination consisted of three consecutive exams, three days each, a total of nine days. Although it is said that one can leave the Gongyuan after one exam, but after one night and returning the next day, it is no different from staying for nine days.

In the first round of the township examination, "Four Books" and "Five Classics", there are a total of seven questions. If there is not enough time to answer, you can reduce one question to answer each.But who can't finish the seven questions in three days, and who dare not finish all of them.

In the second exam, there is one theory and five judgments. The trial theory is also the strategy theory, and the judgment is to judge "doubtful things", and it is also the basic skill of the exam.

The third test is the five-dao policy of current affairs, which is to express comments or opinions on current affairs and government affairs at that time in combination with the theory of Confucian classics.This seems to be the ability of the examiner, and to a certain extent, it also depends on how well the examiner knows the invigilator, so that he can write an article that satisfies the invigilator.

On the sixth day of the first day, when the examiners entered the palace, they first held a horse-riding banquet under the curtain, and all the officials inside and outside the curtain had to attend the banquet.After the banquet, the inner curtain officials entered the inner curtain of the back hall, and the supervisors closed the door.

Candidates from the ninth day of junior high school enter the venue.Fan Xuanchao was called up early, Jingzhe Guyu was so busy up and down that his feet didn't touch the floor, Jinglou was careful, checked the test box he was going to bring again, and quietly passed to greet the carriage.

Fan Xuanchao couldn't figure out why no one cared about the impact of sleep time on the quality of answering questions when the township test was such an important test.When Jing Zhe Yinshi called him up, he still looked flustered: "Young master, young master, it's going to be late!"

It's only three o'clock!

If I got up at three o'clock on the day of the college entrance examination, I would probably have a triple life.Fan Xuanchao complained angrily about this unscientific timetable in his heart, so he could only put on the blue cloth shirt and jade-colored square scarf in a proper manner, and started to eat breakfast at three o'clock with a blank expression.

Mrs. Zhang personally sent him out. As usual, it was Mr. Chen who sent him in, because the tribute court asked to bring a bookboy in to carry the luggage, but Fan Xuanchao thought he could recite it...but Jing Chuan still snatched the test box: "Where?" Is there a master who carries the test box by himself? If you are tired, how do you take the test?"

Fan Xuanchao couldn't resist him, so he just let him go.

The carriage was swaying, and Fan Xuanchao was also drowsy. Mr. Chen originally wanted to say some gossip to calm him down, but when he saw him looking so heartless and about to fall asleep, he laughed dumbfounded and let him fall asleep .

When we arrived at the Gongyuan, the time was just right, the sky was getting bright, and there was a faint light in the east.Jing Chuan is flattering and inviting: "Master, it's time to be particular about it. The sky is just twilight, and the sun is about to come out. Doesn't it just indicate that the young master is a dragon and phoenix among people, and the time and place are right and harmonious, and he will surely be able to do it." Take a test and come back."

Fan Xuanchao said unhappily: "It's rare for you to have such careful thoughts." Before Mr. Chen could laugh, Jing Chuan showed a happy face, and Fan Xuanchao said, "But if you use this kind of thought to let the young master sleep a few minutes longer On the clock, I have a higher chance of being admitted to Jieyuan."

"Ah!?" Jing Chuan originally thought that Young Master Chao was going to praise him, but in the end it turned out to be self-defeating?I couldn't help but look down, very frustrated.

"Okay," Mr. Chen relieved Jing Chuan, "You're just lazy, look at these people in the square, don't they all come here at this time. If it's too late, I'm afraid it will be too late, and then will make you cry. "

Fan Xuanchao smiled, comforted Jing Chuan a few words, his face looked much better now, he was holding the test box, and was about to speak, when suddenly his eyes lit up, and he called: "Young Master Ni! Mr. Bai!"

Ni Houzhan and Bai Yang had already stood behind him at some point, Ni Houzhan said with a smile: "You bullied your school boy again."

"I've met Mr. Chen." Bai Yang saluted respectfully. He has been to Fan's house several times, and he has also asked Mr. Chen questions, so he respects Mr. Chen and is regarded as his half disciple.

"I have seen Mr. Chen."

Mr. Chen stroked his mustache, "Since we came together, let's go in together, get a good reputation, and drink together when we come back."
