第九章恨前仇纠党雪耻苦读书独立登科(7/9)

就回家，见母将前事一说，母亲大惊。
                                                                                                                                                                文英道：“科场在迩，欲把经书时文二三场之类，预为温习，只是没有幽静之处。忽闻得张、任二友俱有科举，在一个古寺内肄业，我不若往昭二人，同他们作伴。”
                                                                                                                                                                便寻到古寺内，见垂杨清溪，果是个幽静寺院。有唐诗一律为证：清晨入古寺，初日照高林；曲径通幽处，禅房花木深。山光悦鸟性，潭影空人心；万籁此俱寂，惟有钟磬音。
                                                                                                                                                                文英便往房头访问，长老随指引张、任书房之内见了张、任。即将伴读之事与张、任一说，张、任应承。
                                                                                                                                                                文英遂回家，唤家僮挑了行李并衣服书籍即刻挑来，三人切磋琢磨。
                                                                                                                                                                你看天表见文英一去，便对夫人道：“文英前日同我到江阴去，我把几个笔画多的字问他，就不认得，还去进什么场？”
                                                                                                                                                                夫人道：“他吟诗作赋，俱是来得。”
                                                                                                                                                                天表道：“如今世上人谁不晓得做几句打油诗，这折油诗能骗别事，难道举人进士也是骗得来的？如今把侄女另觅佳婿，不然那旧病又要发了。”
                                                                                                                                                                夫人听说，与他争闹，放声大哭。他只得仍回庄。
                                                                                                                                                                自此文英一月一回与小姐一会，其余在寺中苦读。俄而冬尽秋来，又是一年光景。与试官已到，初六日进帘。到了头场，文英喜得题目凑手，七篇文字尽皆称意。二场、三场，无不中式。
