A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination

    "Sir, stay."

    Rong Ke paused when she heard someone behind her. She turned around and found that it was an acquaintance: "Xiao Jingduo? How is it you?"

    Xiao Jingduo stopped in front of Rong Ke and persuaded sincerely, "Master, polo is too dangerous. At your current age, it is best not to participate."

    Rong Ke snorted softly: "I'm just talking casually, leaving peace and quiet. I don't want to stay with her."

    Xiao Jingduo nodded silently, he saw it.

    Since Rong Ke didn't plan to really join in the fun, Xiao Jingduo was relieved, he walked one step behind Rong Ke's left, turned his head and asked Rong Ke: "The princess, then you Where are you going next?"

    "Go back to find my mother, what else can I do?" Rong Ke said angrily, "You don't let me do anything, where else can I go?"

    Xiao Jingduo was overjoyed at the answer, when it was rare for this little ancestor to be so obedient, he hurriedly said: "This is very good, the Crown Princess is probably in a hurry, I will send the county master back ."

    Today the emperor went out to play, and the crown princess was naturally in the accompanying team. The female family members of the royal family rested in the Fuyun Tower. Outside the building, there were heavy armored guards. A maid who looked like a palace servant was standing at the door, looking anxiously.

    Suddenly, her eyes narrowed, and she exclaimed in surprise: "The princess, you are back!"

    The maid trotted over to greet her, Rong Ke nodded lazily and asked, "Auntie is still inside?"

    "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is naturally there, Princess Xin'an, just now Princess Xin'an sent us a letter to pick you up at the gazebo, but we went there but no one was there. It's really anxious. If you don't come back, Prince The concubine will send guards out to search!"

    "Oh, I walked in the garden at will." Rong Ke was vague about this, and Xiao Jingduo sighed secretly in his heart, you can never guess what Rong Ke wants to do next, obviously Just now they agreed to go back to Fuyun Tower, but Rong Ke suddenly became interested in the surrounding flowers and plants before they were halfway there. Xiao Jingduo could neither leave her nor take her back forcibly, and could only accompany Rong Ke at the Wandering around in the Hibiscus Garden. It is conceivable that it took a lot of time to come and go, and it happened to miss the person sent by the Crown Princess to respond.

    Xiao Jingduo suspected that Rong Ke was intentional.

    Xiao Jingduo stood behind Rong Ke, and the maid naturally saw it. Although she still doesn't know Xiao Jingduo's identity, the people in the palace always have their own three-point smoothness. No matter how she guessed in her heart, the palace maid still greeted Xiao Jingduo with a friendly face: "Slave, please say hello to Langjun, and Langjun is well."

    Xiao Jingduo avoided him sideways.

    After she got out of the sight of the guards outside the building, Rong Ke became more and more reckless. In the end, she simply got rid of Xiao Jingduo and several maids, and ran inside quickly: "Mother!"

    Prince Concubine Xia was sitting in the room chatting with officials and family members. When she heard a familiar voice, she raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows and said, "You still know how to come back?"

    Rong Ke was not afraid of the Crown Princess at all. After she ran into the house, she saw all the familiar people, and she became more and more lawless. With a smile, she greeted the ladies of Zaifu: "Hello ladies, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why do I think the lady has become beautiful again?"

    The ladies pointed at her and laughed: "Oh, Keke is always so good at talking. You make the Crown Princess angry, don't drag us in, we won't say good things for you ."

    Rong Ke's words made several ladies laugh, and even the Crown Princess couldn't hold back her lips. Seeing that the Crown Princess was no longer sullen, Rong Ke knew that she had passed the test today, and became more and more relaxed.

    Xiao Jingduo stood outside the door and couldn't help but admire Rong Ke's words.

    With just one sentence, she not only praised the prime minister's wife, but also revealed the respect of the prince concubine to the prime minister's wife. You must know that secret praise is far more useful than open praise. She said good things for her mother in a few words, and she also closed the distance between the East Palace and the prime minister's wives. Therefore, it is not unreasonable that Rong Ke has been favored for so long. of.

    Prince Concubine's heart is smooth, so she has the intention to wink at her daughter: "You only come back now?"

    Rong Ke immediately understood that the Crown Princess was asking Xiao Jingduo.

    "I forgot to introduce to you, this is Xiao Jingduo, the eldest son of Hou Dingyong, who is currently studying in Guozijian. Today, when I was traveling with Aunt Xin'an, I happened to meet Xiao Jingduo, who sent me back just now. ."

    Although Xiao Jingduo came back with Rong Ke, he was very polite. Before the princess spoke, he never walked into the house, but just stood quietly outside. Now that he heard Rong Ke's introduction, he took a step forward and saluted the Crown Princess and the ladies in the room: "In Xiao Jingduo, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Princess and all the ladies."

    "Duo, a good name." The princess smiled faintly. She had seen the young man behind Rong Ke for a long time, but she was busy getting angry with her daughter before, and she had not taken a close look at this man. When she looked at it now, she found a handsome young man. Fourteen-year-old boy, with clean and beautiful eyebrows, standing outside the door with low eyebrows and eyes, it is easy to make people feel good. The Crown Princess's mouth had already brought out a smile: "It was you who brought Keke back today? She is a child who is willful and unreasonable. Thank you for today."

    "Auntie, I admit that I'm self-willed, but where do I start?"

    The Crown Princess turned her head and glared at Rong Ke. Although Rong Ke was not convinced, she could only shut up. Xiao Jingduo and several ladies laughed together.

    In Xiao Jingduo's impression, Rong Ke is a sensible and almost cold girl. However, Xiao Jingduo did not expect that in front of her family, she would be so lively and squeamish.

    The princess asked some other questions, and Xiao Jingduo answered them one by one. The Crown Princess is really a gentle person, and Xiao Jingduo's affection for this future mother of the state has doubled. Not to mention the crown prince, the crown prince is also an easy-going and gentle prince. It is really the greatest blessing in life to have such a pair of gentle parents.

    Xiao Jingduo thought of his parents, and felt a little lonely in his heart, but no one can choose their own birth, the idea just came up, and was thrown away by Xiao Jingduo.

    "You are studying in the Imperial College, which is excellent." The Crown Princess smiled, "Do you plan to go from hiding or take the imperial examination in the future?"

    "I want to try the imperial examination."

    The Crown Princess was a little surprised, and then she smiled softly: "Very good, ambitious."

    At this time, another lady also said: "Are you Xiao Jingduo? I heard from our poor grandson that your grades are very good. Very rare."

    Xiao Jingduo has not yet reached the level of the prime minister's wives, and naturally he does not recognize who this lady is. But the lady who was able to sit with the crown princess should say that it was a third-grade appointment. She wanted to say that this lady's grandson was one of Xiao Jingduo's classmates. Xiao Jingduo bowed his head humbly: "Madam is wrong, thanks to Jijiu and the doctor's good teaching."

    "You have outstanding knowledge and are willing to work hard. Presumably in the future, the scientific examination will be like searching for things. Maybe we will be able to see you at the flower banquet in one year." The princess smiled, " But I don't think that day is far away."

    "Thank you, Your Highness, for Ji Yan, Xiao Jingduo is here to thank His Highness." Xiao Jingduo was overwhelmed by the blessing of the Crown Princess and quickly thanked him.

    Xu Shi responded to the Crown Princess's words, and then Xiao Jingduo's life in Guozijian was extremely smooth, and before he knew it, it was the eighth year of Qiyuan.

    In the eighth year of Qiyuan, Guozijian.

    When Bai Jiayi entered the room, Xiao Jingduo was sitting by the window reading. Bai Jiayi walked over with a smile and asked, "Tomorrow's ten-day holiday, do you want to go out?"

    Guozijian takes an exam every ten days, so it is called a ten-day exam. After each ten-day exam, there will be a day off for students to rest and adjust, which is also called a ten-day vacation.

    "No, the graduation exam is coming soon. I am preparing for the graduation exam." Xiao Jingduo said without raising his head.

    Xiao Jingduo enrolled in Qiyuan for five years, and completed the Five Classics within three years, becoming the fastest graduating group of students who entered the same year. After studying the corresponding scriptures, according to the regulations of Guozijian, Xiao Jingduo only needs to complete the graduation examination to be successful in graduation.

    Guozijian set the graduation examination in August, now it is July, and the examination is coming soon.

    Bai Jiayi was not surprised by Xiao Jingduo's answer. He smiled and sighed: "I knew it. As expected of the first student who can't be beaten by the country's sons, he is always so diligent!"

    Xiao Jingduo also smiled: "It's just for others to talk about it, you also come to join in the fun."

    "You're still here, the ten-day exam is always top-notch, and even the annual exam is crushing everyone. Go out and ask, who else in the same class doesn't know Xiao Jingduo's name?"

    Xiao Jingduo just smiled and didn't want to make excuses with Bai Jiayi. Don't look at what Bai Jiayi said, but in fact, Bai Jiayi's grades are quite good.

    When she first entered the school, Bai Jiayi made many common-sense mistakes because she was not familiar with the environment. Later, after Bai Jiayi got used to it, he also showed a strong desire to win. Although he was still a man, he was quite hardworking in his studies. In addition to reading, Bai Jiayi seems to be struggling with Xiao Jingduo, and he also works hard in martial arts. Now that three years have passed, Bai Jiayi can no longer see the way he used to be a frivolous son.

    Xiao Jingduo was also happy to meet such a formidable enemy, he did not give in, and at the same time exerted his strength in reading and martial arts, always crushing Bai Jiayi. The two of them spent three years in such a chasing atmosphere, and at the same time became the fastest graduating wave of students in Guozijian.

    After Bai Jiayi made a joke, he turned to the business: "What are your plans after graduation?"

    In words, the result of the graduation test has been defaulted.

    Xiao Jingduo also has the confidence to pass the graduation exam with confidence. He does not shy away from talking about his future plans: "I plan to participate in the Spring Festival next year."

    "Next year? The spring season is probably in the first month or February, it's only half a year away, are you so sure?"

    Xiao Jingduo and these students who graduated from the official school are called apprentices and can directly register for the scientific examination without participating in the selection at the county or state level. Every year, there are thousands of students who graduate from official schools, plus the candidates for tribute from various places, but there are only more than 20 people who are admitted. These people are all local leaders, proficient in poetry and poetry, but they can only cross the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops. From this, it is not difficult to guess how difficult it is to become a jinshi.

    Therefore, those who applied for the imperial examination never thought that they could pass the examination once. Many people had to take the examination several times, and some even failed to pass the examination for four years. Xiao Jingduo dared to participate in the imperial examinations within a year of graduation, but he was courageous enough.

    "Sooner or later, what's the difference?"

    Bai Jiayi nodded: "It makes sense. Then next year, see you in spring."

    Xiao Jingduo also nodded lightly and smiled: "See you in spring."

    As a classmate and roommate for three years, Xiao Jingduo and Bai Jiayi have already reached an extraordinary tacit understanding. However, although Xiao Jingduo and Bai Jiayi sympathize with each other, he always guards against Bai Jiayi. After all, Bai Jiayi's abnormality is very obvious. With Wu Junru's lessons learned, Xiao Jingduo can't be more thoughtful.

    I believe Bai Jiayi feels the same to him, both trusting and defensive.

    It seems as if the admission was only yesterday. Maybe a few years later, some of these students will become officials with him in the same dynasty, or even become his superiors.

    Sacrificial wine thought a lot, but only a few moments passed. He regained his expression, said some words of encouragement similar to the ones when he entered the school, and announced the start of the exam. Only this time, the teaching center of the wine sacrifice has changed from the way of studying to the way of being an official.

    Graduate exams are given by the doctor and invigilated by the wine. For a time, in the classroom of Nuoda University, only the rustling of the pen falling on the paper could be heard, and the sacrifice wine was slowly pacing in this silence, silently passing by one student after another.

    When Jijiu walked to Xiao Jingduo's side, he couldn't help but stop and looked down at his answer sheet. Jijiu had a deep impression on Xiao Jingduo. He was the eldest son of Dingyong Hou’s mansion, but he didn’t seem to be close to his family. He lived in Guozijian all the year round. But every family has scriptures that are difficult to read, and there are so many students in Guozijian. If Xiao Jingduo's family is only complicated, he will not enter the eyes of sacrifice wine.

    Sacrificial wine had a profound impact on Xiao Jingduo, more because of his achievements.

    In the past three years, Xiao Jingduo's achievements have been very dazzling, and he is one of the most outstanding students in this group of students. The names of Xiao Jingduo and Bai Jiayi are known to everyone in Guozijian. Everyone knows that Guozixue has two students in the same class. They are outstanding in appearance and strong in both civil and martial arts. It's just that Xiao Jingduo and Bai Jiayi have different personalities. Bai Jiayi is often active in classmates' gatherings, while Xiao Jingduo is more cold and mysterious.

    However, there is one thing that cannot be doubted. Anyone who has seen Xiao Jingduo himself will not easily forget this person. With beautiful eyebrows, a tall and straight posture, and that natural fierce temperament, he only needs to stand there and do nothing, and he is already the focus of everyone's attention.

    Sacrificial wine looked at Xiao Jingduo for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and walked away quietly.

    Sacrificial wine stood beside him, resting on an ordinary person who would not be nervous and shaking his hands, but Xiao Jingduo's writing speed was very stable, and he was never affected by the sacrificial wine from beginning to end.

    After leaving the examination room, Xiao Jingduo squinted at the scorching sun in the sky, showing a long-lost smile.

    Bai Jiayi also played very well. Seeing Xiao Jingduo standing outside, he took the initiative to come up and joke: "It seems that I don't need to ask you how you feel about this exam?"

    Xiao Jingduo smiled and nodded: "each other."

    The parting is imminent, Bai Jiayi rarely gets a bit of sensibility: "The graduation exam is over, I'm going to move back to the Bai Mansion. I'm going to say goodbye, I don't know when we will meet, you are welcome when you are free. When the time comes, I will introduce my sisters to you."

    Sure enough, Bai Jiayi couldn't say anything good, Xiao Jingduo put away his smile, glared at him and said, "How important is a woman's reputation, don't talk nonsense."

    Bai Jiayi shrugged and said, "I'm telling the truth, if you become my brother-in-law, wouldn't it be a good story? You don't know how famous you are among the female relatives. , ever since my sisters knew that I was in the same room with you, they have been pestering me to ask you about you all day long, and what's more, they have followed me to Guozijian just to see you!"

    Xiao Jingduo smiled coldly: "You should be glad you didn't agree."

    "Tsk." Bai Jiayi disgusted, "I don't understand the style, I really can't figure out why you are so popular among female relatives. If you want me to say, you will definitely not be able to marry a wife in the future."

    "You said that?"

    Hearing that Xiao Jingduo's tone was wrong, Bai Jiayi immediately accepted it: "Just kidding! But one of what I said just now is true, I will welcome you to Baifu as a guest. ."

    Xiao Jingduo nodded silently in his heart, Bai Jiayi really improved a lot, and now he can say elegant words casually.

    Xiao Jingduo's face was serious, how could Bai Jiayi know that the person in front of him was mean to him, and he said goodbye to his classmates sincerely: "Take care, see you next year when you start a department."

    "See you next year."

    The classmates moved out one by one, and Xiao Jingduo also left the school where he had lived for three years and moved back to the Dingyonghou Mansion.

    Unfortunately, the peaceful days don't last long. Xiao Jingduo had just put his luggage in, and he didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief. His blood relatives presented him with another problem.

    Under the persuasion of everyone, the old lady couldn't help but have some secret thoughts.

    The author has something to say:

    [The copy of Guozijian has been cleared, and is now being graded, please do not leave]

    [System rating: full marks. Congratulations to Xiao Jingduo for getting the highest score and unlocking the hidden branch: the mystery of Guozijian's substitute]

    [Random gift pack draws…]

    【Congratulations, you got a trouble-making package. The mess package is ready, now it's time to count down]

    [No need to try, cancel is useless, smile. 】
