Chapter 274: The House Exam

The Xue family got the son of the head of the case, and the entire Xue family was also stabilized.

The second day after the list came out, it was the day of the government exam.

The prefectural examination is conducted in the prefectural government that has jurisdiction over the prefecture and is presided over by the prefect.

The process is the same as the first level, except that there is one more person who guarantees the settlement, and the others are basically the same.

Because of the achievements of one game, Xue Pan of the Xue family was mediocre from the beginning, and directly entered the eyes of many scholars in Jinling.

Those who have the conditions to get the Xue Pan County test roll, when they see Xue Pan's roll, everyone has to praise it, it is clean and tidy, and the foundation is solid.

But this praise ends here, no one thinks that this Xue Pan has anything special.

Because the difficulty of this exam increases, it is not only based on the foundation of daily recitation.

Which level and level of the exam is not related to the understanding of the article, as well as the judgment and solution of questions?

Their families who are born to read, the books that have been passed down from generation to generation, and their understanding of the articles have been accumulated over the years.

That's called the foundation of the reader.

They are not like the children of merchants, just by spending money and going to a good academy, they try in vain to compete with their scholarly people in the exams.

Therefore, this case is at most to make these individuals amazed, the young man is smart, and there is nothing else.

On the day of the government exam, the people who came to Jinling Mansion to take the exam were not only students from the county where Mai Fan was located.

The students who have tried in many counties are gathered in one place, and the total number of students who have been referred to by Mai Fan during the county examination is as large as the number of people he referred to during the county examination.

And so many people participate in the prefectural examination, and the number of people admitted remains the same.

After the whole government test, only sixty people were taken, of which the top ten were first-class, and there was a bonus for the last level of the later Xiucai test.

The remaining 50 are B-class, which means that they still have a little knowledge or lack of knowledge.

To outsiders, that's 60 places, but in the eyes of the students who write the exams, they only have 52 places.

Because there are a total of eight counties and districts under the jurisdiction of Jinling Prefecture, there are eight small cases in these eight counties.

According to the previous rules, this case is equivalent to passing the second level directly.

Didn't the rest of the people have to break their heads for these fifty-two places?

Probably knowing that he was hating, Mai Fan came over early in the morning, so he found a relatively secluded place, and sat in the carriage without getting down.

Looking out through the gap in the curtain of the carriage, sure enough, the waiting students were too bored, and they would start a few dirty words.

Mai Fan's mind is not in this group of people at all, he is the youngest among them, and he is not in line with his villain's temperament as a villain, compared to the humility and courtesy he had to show to everyone he saw in the past.

It is also thanks to the fact that the process of the government test is faster, and the prefect of Jinling Mansion is still a considerate and kind official.

As soon as the time for entry came, the door of the government office was opened, and the officials at the gate checked the students, and the group was led to the examination room of the outer courtyard.

This exam is much stricter than the previous ones.

The examination subjects are divided into three sessions: scripture, essays, and policy discussions, which are respectively tested in memorization, diction, and political and current affairs.

The process of the exam is completed in one go, and it is no longer like the first level, and you can go home or go to your place to rest after the exam.

There will be three days before and after this government examination, and the eating, drinking, and Lazar of these three days will be solved in the courtyard of the government office.

In addition to the introduction of this examination, candidates are not allowed to bring anything in, pens, ink, special paper, etc. are provided by the examination room, the first two are each one day, the third strategy needs to be tested for two days, and the overnight quilt is also provided by the examination room, each candidate is separated, each occupies a place.

Mai Fan's luck was good, he was assigned to a central position, some distance from where the stinky number was, except that the weather was a little cold, and the bedding given by the county government was a little hard, and there was nothing too big about it.

At this time, he was very glad that he came from a rich family.

If you pay attention to the amount of books, the Xue family basically doesn't have much.

But when it comes to exquisite life, there are really few in the entire Jinling City that can compete with the Xue family.

Because paper, ink, pen and inkstone are not allowed to be brought in, but personal clothing and food are not included in this prohibited category.

When Mai Fan went to take the exam, he was wrapped in a large coat of fox fur specially sewn at home for the scientific examination, and the inside was a cotton coat lined with silk cotton.

Knee pads and shoulder pads are all sewn from wolf skin, and the hand stove to warm hands is Jingdezhen's purple sand cloud disk.

Even if the quality of the quilt to keep out the cold at night is not good, Mai Fan only needs to put these fur protectors under his body and wrap them in a big coat on his body, so that he can sleep warmly.

If this is just a residence, others will not be able to see it, and they will not be so jealous.

It's just that when it comes to food, it is generally like this for the exam, when it comes to the meal, there will be officials entering the examination room, peddling a kind of dry and hard Hu cake with the students, and at most a pot of hot water, and everyone will eat together.

People with slightly better conditions will bring some food that is not easy to spoil, but at most it is some snacks and the like, no matter how good it is, it will lose its original taste because it is dry.

But when Mai Fan eats, others really see the value that money can create.

The square box he was carrying didn't hold anything, it was full of tools for collecting food.

A set of small stoves connected with white porcelain, some golden wire charcoal that ignites when it encounters fire, pack after pack is ready, and only need to add water to warm the food blocks.

Don't look at the appearance of the ingredients in the small bag is not very good-looking, but when you return to the pot on the stove, the smell of hot soup and hot water will permeate the entire examination room.

This made the examiner in charge of the invigilator sniffle, and when he saw that the time was not early, he said a word to the officers who patrolled the field, and then retreated to the backyard to eat.

The other examiner who came to take over understood what was going on as soon as he smelled it.

This is a gluttonous worm that was seduced by the food brought by other candidates.

It's no wonder that the other party would be like this, the beef stew that Mai Fan brought was made by the cook at home who used a full five hours of low heat to simmer.

In order to improve the taste and nutrition of beef, the ingredients not only add a variety of seasonings from the Hu people, but also add a few traditional Chinese medicines.

This piece of beef is gently inserted with chopsticks, the texture is clear, the silk is separated, and it is paired with ordinary white cakes, as long as it is soaked in this soup, it is also a delicacy in the world.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
