Chapter 142: Spring Exam

Pushing open the window, I saw that it was Guan Lang, who had sold Qin Chuan's "Taiping Manuscript" before.

When I spent the New Year at the Tongfu Inn before, I wanted to invite him to eat together, but then I heard Aunt Niu say that he went to a relative's house outside the city. Unexpectedly, not long after Qin Chuan arrived in the room, Guan Lang seemed to smell the smell and followed.

Qin Chuan hurriedly put away the sword box on the table under the bed and opened the door of the room: "Hey, Guan Lang, I wanted to look for you before, but you weren't at the Tongfu Inn, but it saved me a lot of wine." "Guan Lang is the same age as Qin Chuan, and his parents are not around, so he has the same helplessness as Qin Chuan's fate, so Qin Chuan feels very cordial to Guan Lang. What's more, because the "Taiping Manuscript" was also bought from him, although he also paid the money, Qin Chuan always felt that he took advantage of Guan Lang.

Guan Lang was sweating profusely at the moment, as if he had run from somewhere, and said happily: "Hehe, don't worry, the wine that should be drunk will naturally not be missing." Hey, I passed by Bailu Academy today and saw a notice posted on it. Guess what it says?"

Qin Chuan shook his head, he didn't like to guess such dumb riddles, and motioned for Guan Lang to continue.

Guan Lang didn't answer when he saw it, but he didn't get angry, but continued: "The White Deer Academy in Qingzhou City is going to hold a spring exam in two days, and the readers in Qingzhou City can't sleep at night these days, and they are all asking who the examiner who produced the test papers is, to see if they can go through the back door and drag the relationship." If you are interested, let's try it at White Deer Academy. ”

Regarding the spring examination of Bailu Academy, Qin Chuan naturally knew about it, and it was held every three years, often one in a hundred. Although in Longguo, the reputation of Bailu Academy is not as good as before, and even some scholars in Qingzhou City are not far away, crossing the poor mountains and bad waters to study in prosperous places. Even some wealthy local businessmen would rather invite a few well-known teachers than send their descendants to Bailu Academy. Especially in recent years, as long as you donate some money, you can get the admission quota of Bailu Academy, so the prestige of Bailu Academy is not as good as day by day.

However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the White Deer Academy has a deep foundation, although the teaching in it is not as proficient in the history of a hundred schools as that of the Tai Academy, but it is good to be familiar with the classics of the collection, and it is not a problem to teach in the treacherous place of Qingzhou City. Especially for poor families, as long as they can enroll in Bailu Academy, not only can they have the opportunity to win fame without spending money, but they can also get some example money every month, as long as they save a little, it is not a problem to support themselves. Therefore, a large part of the students who come to Bailu Academy to apply for the exam are because they can't afford to eat.

Qin Chuan knew that the White Deer Academy had gradually declined in recent years, so he didn't have a particularly big interest in the White Deer Academy, if he didn't know that there was a super magic circle inside, otherwise he wouldn't have looked twice when he walked to the door of the White Deer Academy. What's more, after the old road left, although Qin Chuan temporarily cut off the money, he would not starve to death in Qingzhou City by relying on the work of playing suona, let alone go to Bailu Academy to eat with a cheeky face. Qin Chuan knew that he had a few catties and a few taels, except for donating some silver money, it was absolutely impossible to get in.

Guan Lang saw Qin Chuan frowning beside him, thinking that he was thinking about enrollment, so he looked around vigilantly and entered Qin Chuan's room, locking the wooden door with his hand.

Seeing that it was suddenly dark in the room, Qin Chuan didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly asked, "Guan Lang, what are you doing?"

Guan Lang put his finger to his mouth, made a silent movement, and carefully took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, there were already a lot of creases and oil stains on them, which should be because they had been circulated many times: "This is the exam question I bought from the black market in Pingyangfang, it is said that when Bailu Academy went to the printing shop to copy the question, it was kept by the owner of the shop privately, so it was circulated in the black market to buy and sell." Those sour readers were so stingy that they didn't lend it to me at all. If I hadn't drunk eight points in the tavern, and an acquaintance who had a stall in front of the White Deer Academy sold me, how could I have such an opportunity. However, it cost me a lot of money. Take a good look at it first, and don't pass it on to others. If you prepare carefully, you may be able to enter Bailu Academy. ”

Guan Lang handed over the paper, looked around the room, and couldn't see the figure of Lao Dao, so he asked again: "Hey, where did the old man who was with you go?"

Qin Chuan took the paper, only felt that it was a little rough, not like a regular printing shop, glanced at Guan Lang and replied casually: "His old man said that he went to travel the martial arts rivers and lakes, but in fact, I know that he went to see his old friend." If it's early, I'll be back in March or May. If you have fun, you may stay for ten or eight years. ”

Qin Chuan looked at the so-called exam questions carefully, just glanced at them briefly, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Guan Lang's money. Although the reputation of Bailu Academy is not as good as before, there must be some thresholds for students who come to enroll. This question that Guan Lang bought from the black market, even people like Qin Chuan who have never applied for the exam can see that it is very simple, and even some of the debate topics are inconsistent, not at all like those well-established teachers in Bailu Academy.

But Guan Lang spent so much money, and he couldn't lose his face, Qin Chuan rolled his eyes, and reminded kindly: "Although you got the admission question of Bailu Academy, but now there must be many scholars in Qingzhou City who also know it, if the gentleman of Bailu Academy suddenly changes the exam question at that time, then you will be at a loss." Therefore, if you ponder the exam questions over the years, you can see what kind of reputation you have. I know my own ability, not the material for reading, I wish you 'a wolf pen in your hand, into the main Wenqu star'. ”

Hearing such an answer, Guan Lang seemed to have guessed a long time ago. Qin Chuan grew up in a remote place, and he didn't know much about some academies, etc., and he didn't know what the benefits of enrolling in Bailu Academy were, so Guan Lang couldn't help but say, and took Qin Chuan down the stairs, through the patio, and arrived at the courtyard wall of Bailu Academy, where he found that a notice was written on it, and there were already a lot of scholars crowded next to it. Even a few nerds who had lived in Tongfu Inn for a long time came out with pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and looked at the notices in a daze.

"At the beginning of the new year, everything is revived. The spring examination of Bailu Academy in Qingzhou City is held soon, and all students, regardless of their background, regardless of age, regardless of gender, can enroll. After entering the unified examination, students can get five taels a month as usual. I know that you have great ambitions and a long way to go. Therefore, the top three students this year can get the state guard's funding and enter the capital to participate in the big exam. ”

Qin Chuan looked at the notice word by word, and couldn't help but make his own little calculations in his heart. Lao Dao said before that his next path is to improve his martial arts cultivation realm, even if he travels thousands of miles, he can not be harmed by thieves, and secondly, he goes to Qingzhou City and finds the scholar who likes to drink osmanthus wine, and he will naturally tell some things. However, the capital is the residence of saints, and the city gate is heavily guarded, and if ordinary people enter, they will definitely be closely followed by the letter post, and it is rare to be free. If there is a recommendation from the White Deer Academy, then there is a legitimate reason, and it will not seem so abrupt when it is active in the capital.

There are many academies throughout the country, and not all scholars can participate in the capital examination, only those children of big families, or descendants of officials in the capital, or outstanding academies have the opportunity. Therefore, it is also an incomparable honor to be able to participate in the big exam in the capital.

Qin Chuan made up his mind in his heart that he must go to the capital to participate in the big exam and see how the prosperous capital is doing.

Suddenly, a cold voice came from this time: "Bailu Academy is getting worse and worse, even such a small color embryo dares to covet it!"
