Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 18

The examiners next to me were very surprised. Why did Xuezheng break the convention today?
An examiner reminded in a low voice, "Xuezheng, let's draw lots!"

The examiner waved his hand, "It's okay, I know the rules, my questions will only be more difficult than the lottery."

Fanning was speechless, why?When it comes to myself, why is it more difficult than others.

He smiled and pointed to the lottery box, "Old man, I'd better draw lots! Just like everyone else."

"come here!"

The examiner ignored his pretense and his request, and his attitude was very strict, "If you are told to come here, you will come here!"

Fan Ning had no choice but to admit it, who made the examiner dislike him.

Jiang Agui in the back actually forgot to be nervous, he was gloating, and almost shouted out with excitement, and finally saw the time when Fool Fan made a big fool of himself.

The chief examiner didn't have anything extra to say, so he said with a gloomy face, "I'll ask a scripture, and you tell me its source, and if you answer it, you'll be considered a pass!"

Fan Ning nodded, the examiner stroked his beard and thought for a while and said: "If you don't know how to count, but want to make a big deal, it's like having no boats and want to go through the dangers! Tell me where the words come from?"

As soon as this question came up, all the examiners in the room looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one knew the source of this scripture.

Fan Ning cursed in his heart, this examiner is really perverted, he actually used such an uncommon topic as "Guanzi" to test himself, did he offend him somewhere?
The examiner also realized that the question he had chosen was too difficult, so he said: "You don't need to tell the detailed source, you just need to tell which famous book it comes from."

Fan Ning was silent for a while, he had an impression of this sentence, he had recited it before.

After a while, he slowly said: "From "Guanzi. Seven Laws", if you don't know the mind, but want to give orders to others, you will be more aggressive and must be arrested. If you don't know how to count, but you want to do big things, you still have no boats And if you want to go through water danger.”

All the examiners couldn't help applauding, and the chief examiner gave a thumbs up and praised: "It really is a child prodigy!"

Fan Ning's heart skipped a beat, did Fan Zhongyan greet him?This makes sense, why he had to test himself alone.

"Maybe you recite the full text?"

Fanning nodded, "I can recite!"

A flash of surprise flashed in the examiner's eyes, and just as he was about to speak, the examiner next to him quickly reminded him in a low voice, "Xuezheng, you can only take one test!"

The examiner waved his hand, "It's okay, let him carry it on his back!"

He laughed again at Fan Ning: "Then you recite it to me, and recite "Guanzi. Seven Laws""

Fan Ning thought about it for a while and then said loudly: "If you say yes, you can't stand it; if you say wrong, you can't abolish it. They must be abolished, those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who are guilty must be punished..."

Fan Ning spoke neither fast nor slow, and uttered every word very clearly. He had memorized thousands of words, but none of them were good.

The chief examiner was stunned. At this moment, the deputy chief examiner couldn't bear it any longer, and gently pushed him, "Xuezheng, it's almost done!"

Only then did the chief examiner wake up, and quickly said: "It's fine!"

Fan Ning stopped reciting, and the chief examiner sighed to the deputy chief examiners on both sides: "I have studied Guanzi for many years, and even if I am asked to recite it, I may not be able to do it well. It is amazing."

He took a deep look at Fan Ning, took out a note and handed it to him, and said with a smile, "Congratulations on passing the first level, go!"

Fan Ning breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and saluted, took the note and went out.

Watching Fan Ning go out, the chief examiner smiled and asked the two examiners beside him, "How is this one?"

An examiner sighed: "He can answer such an uncommon question, and he is so familiar with it, which makes us ashamed!"

Another examiner asked cautiously, "Did you know about this kid before studying politics?"

The examiner just stroked his beard and smiled lightly, but didn't say much.

"The next Jiang Agui, Jiang Agui! What are you doing, why are you opening your mouth so wide?"

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Fan Ning walked out of the interview hall, and there was an examiner sitting outside. He had seen the situation in the school, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Shaolang."

"Thank you sir for your compliment!"

After registering his test card, the examiner pointed to a university hall inside and said, "The written test is inside!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Fan Ning saluted, and walked quickly into the university hall. From a distance, he saw seven or eight people sitting at their desks, thinking hard, and the number of them was less than half of the interview candidates.

It was only then that Fan Ning realized that the interview was not easy, at least half of it had to be cleared.

At this moment, Fanning felt a pain in his back as if being acupunctured. When he turned his head, it turned out that the little girl disguised as a man was stabbing him with a dagger.

Fan Ning thought of the embarrassment on the boat just now, and he was really unhappy, so he straightened his face, "What's the matter with you?"

"Do you know that chief examiner?" Little Loli asked curiously.

"I do not recognize!"

"Then why did he test you alone?"

"You ask me, who am I going to ask? Do you think I will know him even in the "Guanzi" exam?"

"That's not sure!"

A hint of cunning flashed in Little Lolita's eyes, "Maybe he told you the topic in advance, deliberately making you look different."

Fanning didn't bother to talk to her, turned around and walked towards the lobby.

Little Lolita quickly caught up with him, "I hit the mark, right?"

Fan Ning stopped and said to her angrily: "First, I don't know him, you don't believe that you can ask him personally; second, I don't know you well, so there is no need to answer your question; third, I still don't know him. I need a written test, please don't follow me."

"Huh! Who cares about you, I also have to take the written test, you know?"

Fan Ning was taken aback, "This school still recruits female students?"

Little Lolita rushed forward, with her hips crossed, staring at Fan Ning with wide eyes, "Who says I'm a woman, you can prove it to me?"

Fan Ning looked at the handsome young scholar in front of him, and shook his head for a long time, "Forget it, what does it matter to me whether you are a man or a woman? I'm going to take the exam first."

Fan Ning ignored her, turned around and walked into the school, but Xiao Luoli was triumphant, and followed him into the university hall.

Fan Ning handed in the test card at the door and took a copy of the test paper. An invigilator pointed to the seat in front of him and asked him to sit down quickly.

Fan Ning quickly glanced at Little Lolita, seeing that she didn't hand in the test card, and walked in and sat down in a swaggering manner. The invigilator hurriedly handed a paper to her in front of her.

Fan Ning suddenly realized that this little loli should not be simple.

Fan Ning didn't think about it anymore, he opened the paper with a sinking heart, there was a question on the test paper, write a poem, describe daily life, five words or seven words are acceptable, the time limit is one hour.

He pondered for a moment, and a poem came to his mind. For him, writing poems is not a problem, but calligraphy is his weak point.

Although he has been practicing calligraphy hard during this period, his progress has not been as fast as he imagined because his foundation is too weak.

Of course, his current handwriting is not as shameful as it was at first, at least horizontally and vertically, it looks very neat.

Fan Ning was full of ink, picked up a pen and wrote down a poem seriously on the paper.

"Spring Field"

The sound of chicken at noon in the willow flower deep alley,
The tips of mulberry leaves are not yet green.

Sit and sleep and have nothing to do,
The window is full of sunny days to watch sericulture.

. . . . . . . . .

After finishing the poem, Fanning put the pen aside to wait for the ink to dry, when an invigilator stopped beside him.

After a while, the invigilator asked in surprise, "Did you write this poem?"

The voice sounded familiar. Fan Ning raised his head. It was an old man with a long beard and a black gauze hat. Fan Ning recognized him. He turned out to be the chief examiner who was interviewing him.

"This guy is haunted!"

Fan Ning just wanted to leave quickly, so he got up quickly and said, "I'm going to hand in the paper!"

What a joke, if the old man doesn't follow the rules and writes a poem for himself with a separate proposition, then he will die.

Seeing that Fan Ning was frightened by him, the old man couldn't help laughing, and tapped the paper, "Your name hasn't been written yet!"

Only then did Fan Ning realize that the place to write his name was still empty, so he had to sit down and write his name again, Fan Ning, Jiangwan Village, Mudu Town.

The old man read the poem again, and praised sincerely: "This poem is well written, lively and interesting, with skill in simplicity, and it is quite like everyone."

Fan Ning wiped the sweat from his brow. Can Fan Chengda's poems in the Southern Song Dynasty not be as elegant as everyone else?

The old man didn't make things difficult for him this time, he nodded and turned to leave.

Fan Ning just got up and was about to hand in the paper. He quickly glanced at Little Lolita, and saw that Little Lolita also put down her pen solemnly, and she was about to hand in the paper.

Fan Ning was in a hurry, handed in the paper and walked out quickly, but unexpectedly he went in the wrong direction, and found that the road ahead was a dead end, so he turned around quickly.

But she saw little Loli crossed her hands on her chest, tilted her head, and looked at him mockingly.

"I thought you were going to climb over the wall!"

"Just laugh!"

Fan Ning stepped forward quickly, and walked past her. Little Lolita didn't get annoyed, and asked with a smile, "I just want to ask what your name is?"

"His name is Fan Dadai!" A strange voice came from behind.

Fan Ning turned around and saw Jiang Agui coming out of the exam hall, and he also handed in the paper.

Jiang Agui looked at Fan Ning with hatred on his face, "Dumb, you are really good at pretending!"

Little Loli covered her mouth and snickered, "So your name is Fan Dadai?"

Fanning didn't bother to explain, he shook his head and walked away quickly.

Jiang Agui rushed out of the school gate and roared: "Fan idiot, just wait and see how I deal with you when I go back!"

Fan Ning stopped in his tracks, turned around and walked forward, "Call again and try!"

"Fan nerd! Fan nerd!"

Jiang Alian yelled twice, and looked at Fan Ning with contempt, "I just yelled, what do you dare to do?"

Fan Ning stepped forward in two steps, and punched Jiang Agui hard in the face. Jiang Agui was caught off guard and was hit on the nose by Fan Ning.

He let out a scream like killing a pig, and squatted down covering his nose.

Fan Ning clapped his hands, turned around and walked away. Little Lolita saw clearly and said with a smile: "This little guy is quite brave!"

Fan Ning left the examination room and walked quickly to the riverside where he had made an appointment with his father.

From a distance, he saw his father sitting on the stone rail, talking and laughing with a middle-aged man.

Sitting next to him was a boy who was about the same age as him. He was very dark, with broad joints, and looked very thick. His eyes were particularly radiant.

Fan Ning walked up quickly, "Daddy, I'm done with the exam!"

"How was the exam?" Fan Tiezhou asked with concern.

"I passed the interview. The written test was to write a poem. I also wrote it, but I don't know the final result."

"What questions did you get in the interview?" asked the boy next to him.

Fanning gave the boy a surprised look.

Fan Tiezhou quickly smiled and introduced to his son: "This Uncle Liu used to be from our Jiangwan Village, and later moved to the town."

Fan Ning hurriedly saluted respectfully, "Hello, Uncle Liu!"

"Not bad!"

The middle-aged man praised repeatedly: "It's unbelievable that Dumb can pass the Yanying Academy."

Fan Tiezhou pointed at the boy again and smiled, "This is Uncle Liu's son, Liu Kang, who is one year older than you. He used to play with you, and now he is studying in Yanying Academy."

It turned out that this boy was also from Yanying Academy, no wonder he would ask himself what kind of questions he was taking.

Fan Ning scratched his head and asked with a smile, "Is there any particular question about which questions to choose?"

The young man nodded earnestly, "Of course there are particulars, but the particulars inside are very important, and it is related to whether you can be admitted to the school."
