Fang Jifan was dressed properly and walked out.

When I arrived at the door, I saw that the door of Fang's family had already opened.

Manager Yang got up very early today.

These five scholars are all disciples of the young master. It is unrealistic to expect the young master to arrange for them to enter the palace for examination. All the ink, paper and inkstones must be prepared. After entering the palace, the emperor would not be able to keep them for meals, so he had to prepare some steamed cakes to save them from being hungry.

In addition, early in the morning, people have to prepare warm water. Since they want to enter the palace, they have to bathe in the early morning. Even the Rushan and Lun towels must be newly cut. This is a sign of the journey, and they cannot be careless.

Although most of the time, the so-called palace examination and palace entrance examination are the emperor's questions, and the emperor may not show up, but the emperor is different today. Since Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, several palace examinations have not been taken down. Every time, I am in the palace, waiting for the candidates to hand in the papers before leaving.

Therefore, the first impression they gave His Majesty was extremely important.

Of course, the sedan chair must also be prepared. Before the fifth day, the sedan chair bearers must be called up, fed them, and after raising their spirits, they will carry the tribute students into the palace.

The five tribute students, arranged in one word, were ready, and they were all ready, just waiting to say goodbye to their mentor.

Manager Yang seemed a little anxious. Although it was actually early, he kept looking at the sky, afraid that the young master would make a mistake.

Finally, when he saw the young master coming, he immediately smiled and greeted him: "Young master, all the young masters are waiting for the young master..."

"I understand." Fang Jifan nodded and quickly walked to Tang Yin and the other two.

Tang Yin and the other two looked at Fang Jifan deeply.

They still have a lot of feelings with their mentors.

Without a mentor, Ouyang Zhi and the other two knew that they were probably just a small scholar. They were likely to fail at the beginning. They returned to their hometown in Baoding Prefecture, continued to study hard, and prepared for the next provincial examination.

If there were no mentors, Tang Yin and Xu Jing would have been afraid that they would no longer know whether they were dead or alive.

During these long days, they were all working with Fang Jifan. At first, they must have been a lot of discomforts, but gradually, in their world, they had become accustomed to having such a respectable and awesome elder.

The five of them bowed down together and silently performed the teacher's salute on the bluestone slab in front of the door.

Now, this wealth and glory are within reach. On such an early morning, after an exam, the five people are about to have their own great future. Thinking of the past, thinking of their mentor's usual teachings and their mentor's daily beatings, deep in the hearts of the five people, all of them were moved to their hearts.

No matter how the teacher treats them, whether they beat or scold them, they all believe that the teacher is good to them and will think about them in everything. Therefore, tears that inexplicably blew their eyes.

Compared to their feelings, Fang Jifan looked at them with a smile and said, "Take a good exam, and I'll treat you to the chicken after the exam."

"Mr...." Tang Yin sobbed and choked, "Students should follow their teacher's teachings."

Fang Jifan nodded and looked at Jiang Chen: "Although you can try to lose the person you are a disciple, but... forget it, this is all in the past."

Jiang Chen felt a sense of sorrow. Because he lost his hooves in front of the horse during the examination, he had been read for countless times, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Disciple is burning his boats. If he is not able to fight for the best, he will have no face to see his mentor."

Fang Jifan waved his hand gently: "Go."

I hate this kind of scene the most.

Looking at the five people's eyes, they looked like they were going to the execution ground.

By the way, why are they so easily moved that they almost want to shed some tears with them.

But...can't cry.

When I cried, my character collapsed.

Therefore, it is better to have such touching scenes rarely seen.

The five of them stood up and picked up their Kaolan. Seeing that their mentor had turned his back and bypassed the screen wall of the Fang family. The trace disappeared, they took a deep breath, got into the sedan chair, and set off!

…………

After one stick of incense.

A sedan chair from the Wang family slowly passed by the Fang family.

The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, revealing Wang Shouren's face. Wang Shouren glanced blankly at the Fang family's residence, thinking about it, he suddenly said to the sedan chair owner: "Stop here."

The sedan chairman stopped and the sedan chair fell.

Wang Shouren got out of the sedan chair, looked at the Fang family's mansion, wanted to step forward and inform the doorman, but only took one step, but stopped. After a while, the young and mature face turned around and got into the sedan chair: "Let's go."

The sedan chair got up and swayed away.

Wang Shouren sat in the sedan chair and sighed quietly. Then, his eyes became clearer, and a competitive heart arose from the bottom of his heart.

His competitive spirit does not come from the gambling game among the public.

After all... he has no interest in betting.

How could he not know the rumors outside that the gambling house had already opened, and he was the hottest person to see who could win the palace examination first. Of course, the disciples of Fang Jifan were not small, but many people still placed their hopes on themselves, believing that they came from a famous family, and after this famous family, Strategy had a great advantage.

Deep in Wang Shouren's heart, he didn't look down on Fang Jifan's disciples. Although he was good at eight-legged essays, after having been in contact with Ouyang Zhi for a long time, he always felt that they were always half a beat slower than others when they talked and did things. That feeling was like a puppet.

Xu Jing is a person who is too active and has the kind of people who are good at doing things and are all thinking about it. Such people are not good at academic research.

Tang Yin...I heard that he was caught by Fang Jifan every day to paint.

Well, these people are not worth mentioning. This time, I will definitely win the top spot.

When the sedan chair arrived outside the palace, it was about to walk.

At this time, the candidates had gathered and waited for the Meridian Gate to open. Xu Jing and several senior brothers stood together. When they saw Wang Shouren, they reached out to say hello to him: "Brother Wang, Brother Wang, come here."

Wang Shouren went up and the five of them stood together.

As soon as the palace gate opened, all the tribute students entered the palace one after another.

There are nearly 300 tribute students in this subject, including the top three, the second-level scholar, the second-level scholar and the Tanhua, and were given the Jinshi; there are more than 100 people in the second-level scholar, and the third-level scholar is given the Jinshi. The number of people in the third-level scholar is given the same Jinshi. The word "same" actually means "different". "Same Jinshi" is really embarrassing: it seems that when someone is hungry, someone else serves good food and good food, but suddenly finds a green-headed fly stuck on the plate. He has to stretch his chopsticks for his stomach. When he stretches his chopsticks, he feels disgusting. Therefore, those who have a little self-esteem and self-love will regard "Same Jinshi" as an indescribable hidden secret that cannot be washed away.

Of course, even if you are granted the same Jinshi, it is impossible for countless people to expect.

Every tribute student is now ready to go and does not want to be awarded the title of "Same" Jinshi, because what is related to this is not only a matter of identity, but a matter of future.

Everyone walked through the door hole of the Meridian Gate and arrived at Baohe Hall under the leadership of the eunuch.

In Baohe Hall, Emperor Hongzhi was already sitting here. In addition, the two groups of Hanlin officials stood on both sides. They looked at the "late-born and backward" who were entering one after another, and probably remembered the glory of the glory they thought of when they entered the hall to ask questions, and couldn't help but sigh.

Emperor Hongzhi did not say anything. According to etiquette, he should be silent now.

Immediately afterwards, eunuchs stood up and named the candidates. Then, the candidates praised and bowed.

Some nervous tribute students came to Baohe Palace and began to tremble. They lowered their heads and even had their minds blank when they gave the big gift.

However, Ouyang Zhi and the other two performed, especially outstandingly.

From beginning to end, their faces were stiff and they looked like they had never seen any storms. After the great gift, Emperor Hongzhi stared at the candidates in the hall and smiled slightly: "Let's just flat."

Everyone was hustling, and many people bowed their heads and their faces turned blue.

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly smiled: "Where is Ouyang Zhi, this subject meeting in Yuan Dynasty?"

The reason why he remembered Ouyang Zhi was because this Ouyang Zhi was really a legend. It is said that he was just a lost scholar in Baoding Prefecture, and there was nothing surprising about it. But since Fang Jifan was trained, a native chicken instantly turned into a phoenix.

This inevitably made Emperor Hongzhi feel curious.

What does this person look like?

Ouyang Zhi stood up and saluted: "I am here."

The face was calm and honest, and he even spoke. Although his tone was full of dusk, he was not afraid of being trembling when he arrived in front of the emperor.

Compared to other candidates, his face was unnatural, and he seemed much more calm.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded secretly. This person was quite arrogant and had a bit of a calm style in the face of danger.

After several palace examinations over the years, I have seen many tribute students who are frightened and uneasy. If they are famous by the emperor, the panic that appears when playing the right song will be even more obvious. There are many jokes that are made.

Ouyang Zhi's performance did make Emperor Hongzhi nod secretly, it was good, very good.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "You are the first year of the imperial examination today, and the palace examination... take the exam well."

After being encouraged by the emperor, anyone who is at this moment should be emotional, blushing, and excited or helpless.

But Ouyang Zhi was even more calm. He saluted again. Although he was slower in reaction, he said calmly: "I thank Your Majesty for your auspicious words."

Not bad, really good.

Haha... Fang Jifan is really capable.

Beat it out?

Emperor Hongzhi thought of the prince. That guy was always alive. If he was like Ouyang Zhi and as stable as Mount Tai, how good it would be, he would be like this.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and gave a wink to the Minister of Personnel Wang Ao. Wang Ao understood and said seriously: "Spread the papers and issue the questions!"

With a command, eunuchs who had been outside the hall entered one after another, holding papers in their hands, placed them in Baohe Hall, with more than 300 desks on them.
