Chapter 58: The Exam Begins
A happy reception, the gift is over.
The Xiliang candidates stood upright with a smile on their faces, many of the other candidates looked annoyed, and the examiners gathered in front.
"I'm ashamed, I'm not very familiar with Gu Zhouli.."
"Fortunately, Lord Xu is here. ”
"What's wrong?"
"Is this right or not? After all, it didn't say that the ancient Zhou rites were used. ”
A low voice of discussion came from the front, and the candidates standing nearby all pricked up their ears to stare at them, and their eyes focused on an old Confucian with gray hair and wrinkled face and crutches, who had studied etiquette with the Kong family, and that was the family most familiar with the ancient Zhou rites.
Lord Xu's somewhat cloudy eyes narrowed, and he said, "All the rites in the world originate from the ancient Zhou rites. "Final word.
There were sounds of surprise and low annoyance all around, and the Xiliang candidates smiled, their smiles were not triumphant, only the confidence of the young people, and they looked extraordinarily brilliant and not annoying.
Pang An's face was much worse than before, and he looked a little confused, why did things turn out like this, I thought that the Xiliang people would become the foil, but why did everyone become the foil of the Xiliang people.
Zhang Shuangtong raised his hand to poke Liu Chunyang, who was standing in front: "It seems that your grandfather's money is still spent in vain." ”
Liu Chunyang shook his shoulders and ignored him.
Xue Qing said: "Don't say that, if they do well, it doesn't mean that we don't do well, as long as we don't make mistakes, we won't lose." ”
Zhang Shuangtong said: "That's right. He shouted, "Everyone is doing a good job, let's follow the rules and not make a public appearance." ”
This kid... Xue Qing smiled, and the other candidates felt that they had shouted out their hearts and spit out a sullen breath, and no one on the Xiliang candidates' side was annoyed, still smiling.
"Don't dare to grandstand. A Xiliang boy said with a smile, "I am extremely devout in participating in the Great Zhou exam, and what we learn is what we think is the best, not deliberately to disobey the rules." ”
Song Yuan, who was sitting on the high platform, heard this, slapped the table and said, "What is not in order, isn't the ancient Zhou ceremony the six rites?" looked at those examiners, "I'm not a scholar, I don't understand, you say, isn't it?"
Who dares to say that the ancient Zhou rites are not the six rites..
"Isn't this good, people don't cheat and don't cheat, it's just more prepared, why don't you prepare for the Gu Zhou ceremony? People work hard to learn more difficult, you still don't accept it?
"Prepare for the next one. ”
....
....
Zhang Shuangtong glared and was about to say something more, but Xue Qing raised his hand and pressed his shoulder.
"I said, as long as we don't make mistakes, we don't lose. She whispered, "Don't argue meaninglessly. "Also look forward and backward," This is the strategy of the Xiliang people, don't be confused." ”
Pang An took a deep breath, and his pale face was flushed again.
Xue Qing said to him: "Tell everyone that if others do well, it doesn't mean that we don't do well." After a pause, "I hope that Lin Xiucai's seniors will set an example for us young people." ”
Pang An went forward to convey to the candidates in Chang'an Mansion one by one, some nodded at this, some were indifferent, and some ignored it.
Since there were no problems, the exam continued, and the celebrant announced in a loud voice, and the assembled examiners once again dispersed to their respective positions.
Instead of wasting energy on the subjects that you are not good at, it is better to save up your energy to get the best high score in the subjects you are good at.
There is no one on the Xiliang candidates' side, all of them are in high spirits and waiting for the exam to start, although the spirit of the Chang'an Mansion is not as good as theirs, but they are all present, the small actions of the Chang'an Mansion The Xiliang candidates did not react when they saw it, but they just smiled, and they didn't care.
"Actually, the demeanor of the Xiliang people looks really good. Some of the onlookers couldn't help but whisper.
"Why should the overdoers be ungenerous?"
A voice behind him sighed softly.
Girl.
Creak?
A few candidates in front of them couldn't help but look back, and saw a girl standing behind them at some point, wearing a veil on her head to cover her face.
In addition to the people near Huangsha Daocheng this time, there are many people who come from all directions to watch, and you can see the crowd of people on the way when you come, and many people are blocked out because of the special nature of the queen's mausoleum, but in the end, there are still people who can come in, such as those who have money and power, look around, in addition to the people from the government and the black-robed candidates, there are also other people, there are old and young people dressed differently, and it is not strange for women to come to watch.
She was in a fairly high position, and there were four or five men standing beside her, who seemed to inadvertently but appropriately isolate her from the others, and although they couldn't see their faces clearly, they stood there gracefully and dignifiedly, and they said such things with a graceful bearing.
Seeing that everyone looked over, the girl was not shy and uneasy, or felt that it was inappropriate, or was not interested in looking at it calmly and turned around, and the men around her followed the crowd and escorted her out.
A young lady from a rich and powerful family.
....
....
"Miss, don't you read it?" Ji Zhong asked, originally Miss didn't plan to watch the exam of the Rite Subject, but when she was about to leave, she heard that the Xiliang candidates were interested in doing the Gu Zhou Ceremony, and this is not over yet.
Song Ying hummed and said, "Don't look at it, the people of Xiliang have won." ”
Ji Chong said: "Because they are the only ones who use the ancient Zhou rites?"
Song Ying shook his head lightly, the tulle moved slightly, and said: "It's not just what they use, but they have really worked hard and have real skills, and they do it impeccably, and they are really good." ”
Ji nodded and said, "Miss said that Xiliang candidates must be outstanding. ”
Song Ying said: "Yes, otherwise what are you going to do? Do you go all the way to take your own humiliation? King Xiliang is not stupid." Slowly lowering his hands, he suddenly stopped and looked back, the people in front of the queen's mausoleum and the flag filled up to cover the original appearance, only the stele was erected, the stele body blocked the sunlight, a black shadow could not see the pattern inscription on it, and it seemed to be full of light.
She watched the towering Queen's Mausoleum stand still, the sunlight shining on her veil revealing a hazy outline, Ji Zhong quietly lowered his hands behind her, and the great music of the five salutes came, accompanied by the noisy voices of people.
There are more and more people around the examination room, and the fourth ceremony has been carried out in the room, and there are more and more candidates who are absent from the exam in the queue... Sitting down for a set of five salutes is a great test of mental and physical strength, but there are two exceptions, one team of Xiliang candidates, and one team on their right.
The military salute seems to be the favorite for the Xiliang candidates, it is more vigorous than the previous momentum, and it is still the ancient Zhou ceremony, the selected conquest ceremony, the young man in the black robe and long sleeves can't hide the youthful vigor and brings the fierce momentum of the alien race, which makes the viewer can't help but hold his breath... It's so pretty.
"It's pretty good over there, too." Someone also reminded, "It's a ritual of drilling.."
Over there, he looked at the right hand side of the Xiliang candidates, which was a completely different action from the Xiliang candidates, there were old and middle-aged and young people in the team, black robes and black hair, black robes and white hair..... More eyes condensed.
In all fairness, not all the movements made by this team of candidates are perfect, some of the old are obviously physically exhausted and the movements are slow, and some of the young are flustered and unfamiliar, but the strange thing is that it does not make people feel ridiculous, probably the kind of old man who does not retreat, the young man is not afraid of the middle-aged person is calm, and the momentum of waiting to listen to the order is condensed, and two of them are really good-looking.
"Look.." Someone stretched out his hand and pointed over, "Those two teenagers." ”
When he looked over, Xue Qing turned around and lunged his sleeves, with a little sweat on the tip of his nose.... Attentively recalling every movement he saw, slowly and accurately, without missing a beat.
