(If nothing unexpected happens, there will be another update later! Today I saw that there are 84 mooncakes. I have to ask my wife not to buy mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Haha, thank you everyone!)

The city is bustling, the crowds are bustling—

"Sorry, our store will not accept any unknown person's pen and ink. Please go and find another company."

Chen Sanlang was dressed in a tidy dress and went out with a high spirit: A man who doesn’t know the goods!

...

"You think you write well...hey, I'm the boss. I don't think it's okay. The guests think it's not okay, that's not okay..."

Chen Sanlang resisted the indignation of being despised and continued to go to the next house.

...

"Don't show it to me. If a group of people come to me every day with pens and ink, do I still want my eyes? Go out and don't interfere with my business!"

Chen Sanlang left in shame.

...

"I have seen many scholars like you. I can write some words, but I think I am a calligrapher. I always think that I am not satisfied with my talent, and I always think that you can do it if you give you a chance. If you are really so confident and confident, why not put a desk on the street and write impromptu to see if anyone buys it? This boss is also a person who cherishes talent. Look at you with two points of talent. It is better to do this. This "Wanqing Wangting Tie" was written by the famous artist "Jinguishanke". It is 20% off and sold to you for 23 taels of silver. After you buy it, you will definitely benefit you... Hey, don't leave, think the price is expensive, you can discuss it again..."

Chen Sanlang fled in panic.

After walking around three streets and asking nearly ten stores, he had to accept the cruel reality. However, he was still unwilling to accept it. He gritted his teeth and really had to buy a desk and prepare to open a stall on the street.

But when I saw it on the street, I was stunned again.

There are many streets in Nanyangfu, but the popular main roads are dazzling on both sides and full of stalls. Where can I get somewhere to join?

Chen Sanlang looked for places everywhere with his table on his back. After walking a long way, he finally saw a small piece of open space. He was delighted. Just as he was about to pass by, he saw a ragged figure rushed forward very quickly, rolled into the open space, and slept there. Then he took out a broken bowl and placed it on the ground, holding a bamboo stick in his hand and knocked on the broken bowl: "Good intention, good intention, a penny of charity..."

His eyes were fixed on Chen Sanlang, insisting on staring until the scholar paid for it.

"What kind of world is it? I'll ask me to pay if I grab my stall!"

Chen Sanlang spat angrily, lifted the table and continued to search.

The table was not too heavy, but it was extremely difficult to walk such a long way with his body. Soon he got gasping and sweating profusely.

A quarter of an hour later, I finally found a place at the entrance of a relatively remote alley, put down the table, took a short rest, and began to place the four treasures of the study.

Chen Sanlang was ready to beat his hands and looked at himself: It is said that the Emperor Taizu of this dynasty was humble and lived a difficult life in his youth. He made a living by weaving straw sandals and selling shoes. It only took thirty years to go from one shoe to the next world.

Since Taizu's foundation can start with a shoe stall, Chen Sanlang's bright future starts with a one-line stall. Compared with that, the starting point is already one level higher.

Put your belongings in an orderly manner and everything is ready, so customers are just waiting for you.

"Well, who allowed you to set up a stall here?"

It was not the guest who came, but a fat yamen runner who was full of fat faces - the yamen runners in this world held several positions, patrol, guard guards, arrests, industry and commerce, etc.

Chen Sanlang was a little guilty: "Brother Yama, can't you set up a stall here?"

The yamen grasped the sword on his waist with one hand, and his aura was powerful: "It's not impossible, but I have to pay the stall fee, twenty cents a day and five hundred cents a month."

A fat hand reached in front of Chen Sanlang: "Save trouble, please pay for a month."

Chen Sanlang opened his eyes wide and hesitated: "The young man's business has not opened yet and he has no money. Can he ease it..."

Bang!

The yamen slapped the table: "If you don't have money, you can't set up a stall. If you don't have money, you can't set up a stall! Get away quickly, otherwise everything will be confiscated."

Chen Sanlang hurriedly ran away with the table, like a homeless snail carrying a heavy burden.

When I returned to the inn, my whole body was tired and sore, as if I was about to fall apart. I lay on the bed and couldn't move for a long time.

On the first day of his attempt, his beautiful dream of selling words to make a living was gorgeously disillusioned.

Life is never an easy thing.

Chen Sanlang decided to get out of the way, so he should concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination first. This is the most important difficulty at present. Don’t lose the big picture because of small things and fail to get a good name, that’s funny.

For the next few days, he locked himself in the room and worked hard and reviewed his homework.

Time flies quickly, and it is time for the examination to officially start. Early in the morning, Chen Sanlang packed up his things and rushed to the examination room of the examination room.

I thought that after the previous two levels of elimination in the county examination, there would be fewer candidates participating in the examination, but when I came outside the venue, I saw that the number of people seemed to be much larger than when the county examination was tested.

What's going on?

Chen Sanlang watched curiously and saw a large number of strangers, many of whom were quite old and even had gray hair. But looking at their clothes, they didn't look like family members who were sent to the exam. After looking around, Chen Sanlang finally understood: these candidates should be the old boys who took the exam countless times but did not pass the college entrance examination in the end.

Tongsheng is not a fame, but if you get a test, you will not need to take the county examination and government examination every time you take the exam, but you can take the college examination directly.

As the most important examination for the promotion of a scholar, the specifications and difficulty of the college examination have increased significantly compared with the previous two levels, and the examiner is the admiral Xuezheng who is present in person. Xuezheng is an official of the third rank, and is appointed by the court. He is generally from the Hanlin Academy. In terms of official rank, he is one level higher than the prefect.

This shows that the court attaches great importance to the examination.

In each class of boy exams, there are many children who are stuck in the college exams, and they accumulate year by year. Over time, a huge group has formed, and it is not surprising that there are more candidates than the county exams and government exams.

In the Xiayu Dynasty, learning to get old and getting old is basically the creed that every scholar adheres to. For many old children, if they fail to get a scholar, they will die with their eyes open. Therefore, every time they take the college entrance examination, they flock to them and their perseverance is amazing.

However, this situation is different when it comes to the provincial examination. The qualification to participate in the provincial examination requires recommendation, and not all scholars in the world can participate. In comparison, the threshold is much higher, and a large number of old scholars can be filtered out. Otherwise, no matter how big the exam room is, it will be bloated and will not be beneficial for national talent selection.

As time goes by, more and more people come to the exam room.

Chen Sanlang met He Weiyang - he also passed the imperial examination and became a child.

Isn’t He Weiyang’s side Qin Yushu a guarantor?

Seeing Chen Sanlang, Qin Yu's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. As a student at Nanyang University, he was invited by many candidates to be the guarantor every year.

Protecting a person is a very generous business and there is nothing to do. He just goes to the site to confirm every exam and then sits and counts the money - this is a very generous income.

In addition to counting the money, the guarantor's extra filial piety is quite considerable. As for the big banquet and drink, it is even more casual. When the guarantor passes the boy exam and wins the reputation of a scholar, they naturally respect and be grateful to the guarantor and are called "seniors".

Many times, this kind of love reward is often more valuable than the insurance pay.

Over the years, Qin Yushu has guaranteed many candidates, but he has never met someone like Chen Sanlang. How can I say that Chen Sanlang is like a naughty man and is too ignorant of being a human being.

Fortunately, this college entrance examination is the last one, otherwise Chen Sanlang would slap him in the face every time he passed the exam. This feeling is really unbearable.

Thinking of Chen Sanlang's absolute response to Shangchaoshan Temple, after the news came out, Qin Yushu was so frustrated that he almost rushed up to beat Chen Sanlang. Especially that hateful face, he had to step on his feet to relieve his anger...
