Chapter 323
The time for the township examination has been set, and it will be on the ninth day of August. There will be three exams in total, each lasting three days.

That is, the entrance exam on the ninth, twelfth, and fifteenth day of August.

But this time, I have to go to the provincial capital of Jingkang Province for the exam. The journey is far away and I am not familiar with the place, so I need to go there one month in advance.

So Lan Xi was ready to set off at the beginning of July, and it was still Chang Erhai and Lan Xi. The family wanted to find a book boy for Lan Xi, but Lan Xi was not used to it, so let it go.

Following the convoy that had been agreed in advance, they drove the carriage. This was a carriage bought by Erfang, and a carriage was installed at the back for the convenience of resting.

On the way, Lan Xi and Chang Erhai switched cars, and Chang Erhai had already gotten used to accompanying the exams. Not to mention paying for Lan Xi's exams, he went with Chang Wenwu many times.

So he didn't feel nervous.

A group of people walked slowly to the provincial capital of Jingkang. It was already July 20th, and even half a month earlier, some inns were already full.

Lan Xi and Chang Erhai found a medium-sized inn and opened two upper rooms. Now the second rooms are not as they used to be, so they won't treat themselves badly.

Nowadays, all the people participating in the provincial examination are scholars. Naturally, many people hold banquets, some hold poetry gatherings, and some invite everyone to gather together for the purpose of communication.

You must know that this is a good opportunity to expand your network. After all, they already have some status, and there are even many children of officials and eunuchs.

Even though Lan Xi was not well-known, someone handed him an invitation card. Lan Xi glanced at it and put it aside.

Speaking of it, there are advantages and disadvantages to participating at this time. I have to say that it is a good opportunity, especially for people with no background like Lan Xi, especially to get in touch with some officials' children.

However, Lan Xi thinks that it's not yet time. A scholar with no background, among them, he is not conspicuous at all, and he can't make friends with anyone.

Even if you know one or two people with a deep background, you are just reduced to a background board. It is better to raise your own bargaining chip first.

Lan Xi didn't care what happened to the others, and now he just wanted to face the next rural examination first.

Occasionally, when Lan Xi gets tired of reading, she will go out for a stroll to see the buildings in the provincial capital and the green brick and tile houses on the street, which are very different from the county town.

And the customs here.

Once, Lan Xi encountered a group of students coming out of Xiangmanlou in a mighty manner, and Lan Xi unexpectedly saw Chang Wenqing.

Although he hadn't seen him for a long time, Lan Xi could still recognize him at a glance. Chang Wenqing walked in front of this group of brocade and silk students, walking side by side with the few in front.

Holding a long fan, blowing a lock of long hair on the forehead, smiling happily.

But when he looked at Lan Xi, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled mockingly, looked away, and turned to talk to the people around him more happily.

Lan Xi never changed his face, walking on the street, passing a group of people.

Lan Xi didn't take this matter to heart either, and soon the township examination would be held.

On the ninth day of August, the grand rural examination kicked off, and the physical examination was more stringent than before.

In any dynasty, fraud is a felony, and the selection of talents is the most important thing, so naturally it needs to be more stringent.

The first two exams were fairly normal, but in the last policy discussion, he actually wrote a paper on the way of being a minister.

Lan Xi couldn't help but think of collecting information about the imperial court by herself in the past two years.

His Majesty has been in power for 16 years, four out of [-], and he is still in good health. I heard that His Majesty fought against the former Emperor back then, and he grew up in one war after another.

Later, the first emperor pacified the world, and it was stable. The first emperor had hidden injuries in his body due to the war in the early years, but he passed away when he was only fifty, and now he succeeds to the throne.

Therefore, it is not easy to be sympathetic to farmers today, reducing taxes and encouraging land reclamation.

From the perspective of today's world, although it cannot be called the wise king of the ages, it cannot be called the faint king.

And as the current reign is getting longer day by day, the princes under his knees are all adults. Even if he is crowned prince, he has not been crowned prince, so the princes fight fiercely in private.

Now that he took such a question, Lan Xi couldn't help thinking about it, but these were still far away from him, and he was thinking about how to write to be successful.

Lan Xi thought for a while before writing, "When you see goodness, you must understand it, and you don't want to gain it for yourself; you celebrate goodness but don't have a name for it; you call yourself a position, and you don't want to make progress; you don't want to be rewarded, and you don't want to get it; the body is expensive. To be humble is not to go against one's morals; to be a virtuous person is to be unworthy, not to mess up the order..."

After writing this strategy theory, the time is almost the same. Now it is the third day of the third game. After Lan Xi carefully copied these, the time is almost the same.

In the examination room for the past few days, he must have been unable to eat well or sleep well. Fortunately, Lan Xi is in good health. Before, Lan Xi saw that the two of them had only had two matches before being carried out of the examination room.

After finally finishing the exam, Lan Xi breathed a sigh of relief. All that was left was to wait for the results to be released, but it would be September.

During this period of time, Lan Xi just went out for a little more time, and did not participate in various popular poetry gatherings in the provincial capital. Nowadays, students from all over the world can be seen in major restaurants and brothels.

Lan Xi waited quietly for the final result.

The result lived up to Lan Xi's expectations, winning No.6, Lan Xi was relieved, and Chang Erhai was also crazy with excitement, now his son is Juren.

During this period of time, he also inquired that juren can also be an official, but it doesn't matter that he needs to take care of it. He believes that his son will definitely pass the exam in the future.

During this time, when he met other people in the inn, they all greeted him with smiles, and some people even enthusiastically asked him if his son was married, but he kept his mouth tight and didn't say anything.

After the rankings were released, there was the Luming Banquet, which was hosted by the chief examiner this time, and the candidates who were selected this time were invited to participate, and Lan Xi was naturally on the list of being invited.

The scene of the Luming Banquet this time was quite magnificent, the sound of the orchestra was endless, and there were many high-spirited students reciting poems in opposition.

During the banquet, everyone sang deer singing poems and invited people to dance the Kuixing dance.

Between the toasts and cups, the sound of the phoenix flute, the light of the jade pot, all kinds of sounds are intertwined, endless.

It was a happy day, Lan Xi also let go, smiled and chatted with the people around her, it would be best to meet people with similar temperaments, if not, it would only take a few words.

In the end, there were not a few sober people in the whole banquet.

It is also understandable that Han Chuang has studied hard for many years, and now he has finally made a further progress in the imperial examination, so it is not exciting.

Some people even lost their composure at this banquet, and the host above didn't say anything.

In the end, even though Lan Xi smelled of alcohol, she was sober. As soon as she walked out of the gate, she saw a generous figure standing beside the carriage with slightly moist eyes.

My years of hard work are not only due to my own sweat, but also because of the support and hard work of my family behind me.

I am so lucky to have such a family with flaws but who loves me unconditionally.

Lan Xi thought that she has experienced so many worlds, not only to do tasks and fulfill the client's wishes, but also to experience a complete life.
