第三场是南海、番禺两县童生。周学道坐在堂上,见那些童生纷纷进来;也有小的,也有老的,仪表端正的,獐头鼠目的,衣冠齐楚的,蓝缕破烂的。落后点进一个童生来,面黄肌瘦,花白胡须,头上戴一顶破毡帽。广东虽是气温暖,这时已是十二月上旬,那童生还穿着麻布直裰,冻得乞乞缩缩,接了卷子,下去归号。周学道看在心里,封门进去。出来放头牌的时节,坐在上面,只见那穿麻布的童生上来交卷,那衣服因是朽烂了,在号里又扯破了几块。周学道看看自己身上,绯袍金带,何等辉煌。因翻一翻点名册,问那童生道:“你就是范进?”范进跪下道:“童生就是。”学道道:“你今年多少年纪了?”范进道:“童生册上写的是三十岁,童生实年五十四岁。”学道道:“你考过多少回数了?”范进道:“童生二十岁应考,到今考过二十余次。”学道道:“如何总不进学?”范进道:“总因童生文字荒谬,所以各位大老爷不曾赏取。”周学道道:“这也未必尽然。你且出去,卷子待本道细细看。”范进磕头下去了。
话说严监生临死之时,伸着两个指头,总不肯断气;几个侄儿和些家人都来讧乱着问,有说为两个人的,有说为两件事的,有说为两处田地的,纷纷不一;只管摇头不是。赵氏分开众人,走上前道:“爷,只有我能知道你的心事。你是为那灯盏里点的是两茎灯草,不放心,恐费了油。我如今挑掉一茎就是了。”说罢,忙走去挑掉一茎。众人看严监生时,点一点头,把手垂下,登时就没了气。
