When I woke up, the sun came out the next day, most of the candidates got up, and there was a sound of rustling everywhere, Pei Ziyun got up and moved his body, and finished going to the toilet under the official errand, returned to the number room, drank some water, took a small sip, and swallowed it after a while. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After using up a piece of cooking cake and an egg, Pei Ziyun only felt that he was in excellent spirits, so he checked the draft, read it carefully, and confirmed that he had solved the three major problems yesterday, and there were basically no mistakes or omissions, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, if this can't be a show, there is really a problem.

Then, he transcribed word by word, and it was not until noon that Pei Ziyun copied all the three major question papers on the original manuscript.

"Here's the last line, the poem. ”

"To be honest, whether it is attaching importance to practical learning or attaching importance to scriptures, poetry is not important, but it can reflect literary brilliance, so it has become the last question. ”

"I can only say that if you write it, you will have some extra points. ”

Pei Ziyun is naturally not a great poet with quick thinking, but he has poems in his memory bank, and there will never be exactly the same poet in the two worlds, right?

After reading the poem "Early Spring", Pei Ziyun was stunned, this is very familiar, so familiar that he feels a little headache - it's not that he can't think of it, but which one to choose?

While thinking wildly, grinding ink in his hands, staring at the topic in a daze, after a while, Pei Ziyun finally decided: "Then copy Han Yu!"

"People are from the Tang Dynasty, the poems of the Tang Dynasty are the most expensive, not like the poetry of the later dynasties, and this person is an official to the Ministry of Officials, posthumously presenting the Ministry of Gifts, nicknamed "Wen", just bring me some Wenyun. ”

Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun secretly exhaled in his heart, this time he didn't need a draft, and directly waved his pen on the original draft.

Early Spring

"The light rain in the sky street is as moist as a crisp, and the grass color is close but there is nothing.

It is the most beneficial spring of the year, and it is absolutely better than the smoke and willows in the imperial capital. ”

Whew-

After writing, Pei Ziyun only felt that his whole body was relaxed, and he checked the test paper several times to see if he would be evasive, and looked around, and saw that the candidates were still burying their heads in writing, all of them were pale, and they had finished writing in advance, so they shouted softly: "Submit the papers!"

The official asked in surprise: "It's not dark yet, you've finished writing?"

Pei Ziyun said: "It's finished." ”

At that moment, the official did not dare to slack off, and called the official who received the exam, and the official glanced at the manuscript, and when he saw that the answer was full, he nodded: "Release!"

These test papers are to be confused, will be written by a special person to all the papers, and wait for the examiners to finish the test papers, select a certain number of places, you can read the original papers, at this time the words are good, you can add points, now even if the examiner, can not read more.

Pei Ziyun came out of the examination room, and said, the atmosphere in the examination room, the more depressed the more you go to the back, this place really doesn't want to stay, it is said that you can go out in advance for the government exam, and you have to stay full even if you finish the provincial exam for three days!

And when he copied it himself, he found that a candidate was carried out in shock, it was an old boy with gray hair, crying and shouting to go back, Pei Ziyun watched coldly, and only felt that he was related.

This is the case with the imperial examination, if you don't pass this subject, if you don't pass all the time, it will become like this.

Except for excellent luck or extremely high talent, if you can be admitted to Xiucai, Renren and Jinshi, almost all of them have to fight several times, so when he walked out of the door, Pei Ziyun only felt tired and relaxed.

The government has tried, he is a showman, he has achieved fame, and he has officially become a "scholar" class, and he must have completed the task given by the plum blossom.

When he went out, Pei Ziyun saw a black head outside.

In addition to the scholars' families, scholars, servants, and dense coachmen, these are all means of transportation, candidates in the past generations have prostration and illness, even if they are not sick, they are staggering when they walk under pressure, and they naturally need it, they are not like this, but they don't want to walk back, and they beckon.

An ox cart hurriedly approached, and Pei Ziyun said directly: "Shunfeng Guandao Inn!"

"Okay, sit down. ”

Bumpy all the way, back to the inn, Shunfeng Guandao Inn is very well prepared, as soon as I see it back, the shopkeeper shouts: "Hot water!"

Pei Ziyun took a hot bath directly, and before he came out, there was meat porridge again, and he drank it, and saw that the candidates came back one after another, only to see Tang Zhen's face pale, and when he saw Pei Ziyun, he hurriedly strode up and gave a salute.

Pei Ziyun was surprised and said, "Why should Brother Tang be so gifted. ”

I saw that Tang Zhen was a little ashamed, and Zhengse said: "Thanks to the other day, you woke me up, I went back to study hard behind closed doors, and when I took the exam, I saw the question papers, and there was a question that I had reviewed these days, so I thanked Brother Pei." ”

"Haha, is there still such a thing? This is Brother Tang's chance. Pei Ziyun said with a smile, this is not a lie, this person does have some luck, and he even has a problem.

After drinking the porridge, seeing that a few more candidates came back, he didn't care anymore, went back to the room and lay down on the bed, and fell asleep sweetly without a moment.

…………

Schools, to the public court

The armor is still arranged, and it must wait for all the approvals to be released, and the east chamber of the public hall is transcribed, received, and sealed, and the west chamber is read, and the inner supply is provided.

The official who receives the scroll takes the scroll to the sealing room, and the sealing clerk seals the scroll in the name, and then the sealing official sends it to the transcription room for the scribe to transcribe it.

After the transcription is completed, the transcription and the original volume are then sent to the west reading center, and the reading official proofreads whether the transcription and the original volume are consistent and correct, and the original volume is left and sent to the public court.

To the public hall is isolated by a curtain, the outside is dedicated to the volume, and the inside is read by the marking officer, and the specific is the isolation of a small screen, which is a bit like an office.

Every room when the marking officer is satisfied with the reading of the file, he will tick a circle on it and then hand it to the room official.

If the deputy chief examiner is satisfied, he will check the circle and submit it to the chief examiner, and finally the chief examiner will decide.

At this time, several stars hung in the sky at night, and the candles in the room were lit, each candle was very thick, and the room was brightly lit.

The room is very simple, only a few tables, a few chairs, and the table is full of test papers, the chief examiner Ye Xianggao is Xuezheng, in his fifties, with white beard and white hair, looked at the examiner at this time: "Today, you will wait for the papers, you must not forget the hard work of the year, and you must not forget the expectations of the imperial court. ”

The examiner said yes, to receive the papers.

The examiners are all teachings, and the first Moyi, the scriptures, the Ming Calculation, and the Ming Law are all memorized, and there are standard answers, and the examiner reads them very quickly.

Sure enough, only a moment later, a teaching examiner shook his head: "There is a mistake in the fifth scripture, this kind of question, children can answer it correctly, even if this person is a clerical error, this subject is suspended." ”

As he spoke, he threw the article into the drop volume.

There are 2,700 copies of the paper in the government examination this time, Moyi, Tijing, Mingsuan, and Minglu only read the mistakes and omissions, and there are more than a dozen examiners in the room to read it, and within an hour, I heard a gong sound, and the previous paper was finished.

"My lord, out of two thousand seven hundred and forty-one volumes, there are always three hundred and ninety-one volumes, and there are errors and omissions in the first volumes. ”

The degraded volume may not be hopeless, and when the other volume is finished, I will also look at their back volume, but unless the back volume is amazing, or there is little hope.

"The remaining 2,350 volumes have entered the review of the big question. The examiner, Ye Xianggao, sat precariously and said.

"Yes!" The review of the big question was much slower, until late at night, a grader yawned, even if there were many people reading the papers, but looking at so many words, it was inevitable that he would be dizzy, and he read a volume in his hand patiently with responsibility, and he didn't like it: "What is this writing again?" ”

I threw it into the discarded paper and didn't look at it.

When I saw one, I suddenly perked up, and pinched my beard with a smile: "Yes, it's like drinking wine!"

Just take a close circle on the volume, this is junior high school, I have to put down the volume, and I am reluctant: "It's unbearable to have so many volumes, look at this again." ”

I watched it again from beginning to end, tasted some more flavors, and sighed: "Rare, rare!"

In the corner of the volume, under the circle, write the word "high recommendation", which is written, the housing officer will focus on it, and there is not much time, the volume will be sent to the housing official.

If the examiner is as tired as a dog, the house official is a cat at ease, he only needs to look at the paper with circles.

The room official was not tired, and looked more carefully with an expressionless face, and after a moment, the room officer raised his head and glanced at the official who read the file just now: "This paper is recommended by you, highly recommended?"

"Yes. ”

The room official was silent for a long time, drew a circle on the scroll, and wrote: "The words are really old, and they can be Cheng Wenyi." ”

The marker was startled when he saw it, and saw the room official say to a scribe: "This paper is sent to the deputy chief examiner." ”

At this time, there were not many papers with circles, and even fewer with two circles, and the deputy examiner picked up the article, and after reading the comments, he smiled: "Is there a good paper?"

After reading it, I was silent for a long time, but I didn't criticize, drew a circle again, and sent it to the examiner.

The examiner saw the three circles on the paper, which was unanimously approved by the marking officer, the room officer, and the deputy examiner, and read the article through.

For a long time, the examiner fell into deep thought.

"How is this article?" asked the deputy examiner.

The examiner said for a long time: "This article is old-fashioned, no strange, no algae, there is already a little bit of Zhuang Ya Chongyi, really mellow and big, just by the text, there is a qualification for the middle school, in this government examination, at least the top three on the list, but it looks a little lonely, and a little self-pity, I am afraid that the candidates are not young." ”

The deputy examiner was stunned for a moment, understood, and said, "It's a pity." ”

Although the imperial court takes the examination to show talents, although it is said that it does not look at people, it is actually also to look at people - the court takes you for your loyalty as an official, and the examiner takes you for the sake of forming a teacher and taking care of each other in the future, no matter what point it is, when you are old, you will be secretly discriminated against.

You're forty or fifty, and if you are taken, how many years can you do?

So the older you get, the lower your chances of being admitted, and how many old and gray old children are old and talented, in fact, there are not many opportunities.

The article is lonely, he is such a person, but this article is really good, and the deputy examiner is a little unwilling: "Then degrade?"

This article is so, and the derogation is too harsh. The examiner was silent for a long time and said, "Put it in the middle of the second list!"
