"Brother, I want to go to the state to study." The crown prince said.

Every imperial examination would cause a sensation across the Song Dynasty, from the imperial palaces to the people, everyone's eyes were attracted by the imperial examinations. Even Zhao Ji's third son Zhao Kai and later Emperor Kangxi both secretly participated in the imperial examinations. It is said that the grades were pretty good, one was the top scholar and the other was Tanhua.

People have a blind obedience mentality.

It is precisely this excitement that many people join the study army without hesitation.

It seems that the third brother was also moved. He thought that his private school education level could not keep up, so he wanted to go to the state to study.

"Third brother, I ask you, why is studying for?"

"List on the list like a big brother, glorifying his ancestors."

Like me? Do you know how many books I read in my previous life? But what should I do? I have to slowly enlighten me.

"Third brother, do you know how many students will participate in the autumn exam every time?"

"have no idea."

"It is said that there are more than 400,000 students participating in these classes, but how many students can be awarded? Then go to the provincial examination hall to take the exam. Do you know how many students will participate?"

"have no idea?"

"The average number of students participating in these sessions is as high as 20,000."

Not every autumn examination can release more than 20,000 candidates, but there are only a few thousand people. There are more old candidates going to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination. If the transportation is not backward, many candidates in remote areas probably don’t have much hope and the number of candidates will be even greater.

"So many people?"

"Yes, but how many people are there to be named at Donghuamen? You should know that all the students participated in the exams, and there are very few students who are just a bit of knowledge, and two-thirds of them are knowledgeable. Otherwise, why do I say that I can basically win the exams, but I may not be able to win the provincial examinations and palace examinations."

"But……"

"I know you are confused. I will be happy if you win. My dead father is in the nine springs and sees two Jinshi, I believe he will smile."

"Big Brother," the crown prince suddenly hugged Wang Ji and cried.

I didn’t understand when I was a child, but now I’m gradually sensible. Only then did I realize how difficult it was for the eldest brother to support his three brothers and sisters.

"Don't, let's talk about what you learned when you entered the state. It's best to be able to sing the name of Donghuamen when you study. But can't sing the name? Those who cannot sing the name should not read? You still have to read. Only by reading can you open up more wisdom, learn more knowledge, improve your life, and avoid being bullied. Therefore, in the Analects of Confucius, there are not many practical things to talk about governing the country, but talk more about how to be a human being, summarize it in four words, and apply what you have learned!"

"So I usually ask you to do something so that you cannot forget the roots. Or some truths, let you know that the human feelings in this world are warm and cold. If you just study for fame and fortune, you will not only lose the roots, but may also read like Zhu Erlang. Although he has become a little better with me, he is still not enough. He will suffer several major losses in the future to inherit the family business."

"Brother, I understand that you should study hard when studying, but you should have a good attitude. How to do things and how to get along with others is also important."

"Yes, this is my third brother." Wang Ju patted his head happily. After all, he was only eleven years old, so it was very difficult to say this.

In fact, this is what Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty harmed. There is Yan Ruyu in the book and a golden house. If he is a high school Jinshi, then he will have everything, a beauty, a housewife. But what if he is not?

Whether it is education or reading, the real purpose is to open up people's wisdom, wisdom produces creativity, and the country and the nation can make progress.

However, now we are missing the original and seeking the end.

If this idea does not change, even if Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi opened 100,000 schools, the Song Dynasty would still be the case.

"Yanzhou Prefecture School is also quite chaotic. I went in just a formality. No matter whether I will win in the future, it is impossible to go in again. You are still young and have poor self-discipline. If you enter Yanzhou Prefecture School, it may not be a good thing. As I said, if I can succeed next year, you have to follow me. If I cannot succeed, I will find another way."

As he was talking, the yamen runners outside rang the gong and shouted loudly: "The results are released, the results are released."

"So fast?" Wang Ju was surprised. It was only a few days ago.

"Brother, go and see the list," said the crown prince.

"Okay," Wang Ju took his younger brother to the state school to read the list.

Many people have come, not all of them are students and their families, but many are watching the fun.

There are also many students who have to send yamen runners to inform them outside the city or beyond. That will be even more lively. Once the list is delivered, the entire village will be sensational.

The Zhu brothers came, and Li Wan brothers and sisters also came, including Qin, all of whom came to watch the fun.

Zhu Qi raised his orchid and said, "Congratulations to Xiaolang for his victory in the first place."

Wang Ju took a few steps back first, and Zhu Qi's orchid could not afford to offend him.

"Zhu Dalang, I really dare not say this."

"Can you not compare to my second brother?"

"That may not be true. Seven points are determined by hard work, three points are destined, and there is also luck."

Qin said on the side: "Dalang of the Zhu family, don't say it anymore. You will know it as soon as the list comes out. If you don't win, you will be laughed at."

Wang Ju nodded. He was very hard to say, Jie Yuan was able to win.

Li Fei'er asked whisper: "Wang Lang, maybe."

"It can only be said," Wang Judao. This is in Yanzhou. If it is in other cities with developed education, Jie Yuan would not dare to mention it.

Qin Shi said: "Wang Ju, don't forget. If you win, you must go back to worship your ancestral tomb."

Is the Wang family’s ancestral tomb considered Wang Ju’s ancestral tomb? However, as he stayed in Song for a long time, Wang Ju gradually integrated into this country, so he nodded.

Just follow the customs of the countryside. If you want to live better in this world, or have dreams of making this country better, you must integrate it.

So he said again: "If I am defeated, leave Yanzhou and ask my concubine to worship the ancestral tomb on my behalf, otherwise my second uncle will go to the south again and there will be no one to burn paper thread."

Li Fei'er's face turned red immediately.

When she went to the Wang family's grave, it was equivalent to going to the Wang family's wife.

Then he hid shyly behind Qin and looked at Wang Ju with his big watery eyes.

However, Wang Ju likes this kind of youthful love very much, simple feelings, simple thoughts...

Qin also liked it and said, "Your idea is very good. Living people should be filial and dead people should be respected. It is better to do this. If you win, go to worship with your concubine."

"OK."

There were a few students next to him listening, and their hearts were mixed. Some thought, have you really booked your pick?

That's not. Even if you don't study with Zhang Zai for more than two years, even if Wang Ju studies by himself, he is confident that he will pass the exam. Of course, it's hard to say when he goes to the provincial examination.

Wang Ju also ignored the eyes of these people and said that Jie Yuan was a little more modest, but if he couldn't say it, it was hypocrisy.

Cheng Kan came with the yamen runners.

In fact, if a very smart person is aware of the importance of this imperial examination.

The imperial examinations in advance, the exams in person, and the lists in person today are equivalent to breaking all the previous examples of the autumn examinations in Yanzhou.

The crowds separated automatically, giving way.

Cheng Kan swept through the crowd with his eyes, saw Wang Ju, came to Wang Ju and said, "Wang Ju, after letting go, you can come with me."

"Here."

Cheng Kan didn't say anything anymore and led the yamen runners to the wall of the state school.

Zhu Qi said, "Wang Xiaolang, there is a chance."

"That's not necessarily the case. Mr. Cheng summoned me several times before." In fact, Wang Ju also knew that he had done well in the exam, otherwise Cheng Kan would not have looked so kind. However, the list has not been released, so why bother? He couldn't escape without saying that ranking, and he couldn't escape even after saying it, which made people think he was arrogant.

"Wang Lang, I'm so nervous." Li Fei'er couldn't help but come to Wang Ju's side and said, holding Wang Ju's hand.

This was the first time she held hands with Wang Ju. When she felt the soft, slippery and warmth of Li Fei'er's small hand, Wang Ju was a little ridiculous and laughed. A few days ago, she thought about whether to hold a hand, but she didn't expect to hold Li Fei'er's small hand in such an open occasion.

However, everyone was nervous and looked at the roll of red paper in the hands of the yamen runners with concern, without paying attention.

Wang Ju was also very nervous. Although he persuaded his third brother, he had to leave a footprint outside Donghua Gate so that he could shelter his younger brother and sister from the wind and rain.

A yamen runner coated glutinous rice flour on the wall, and the yamen runner holding the list slowly opened the list, and the remaining two yamen runners posted it with the corner of the paper.
