Chapter 063: County Examination (I)
The Bangzi had just been knocked on, the sky was still gray, and the moon was still hanging obliquely on the east branch, and the carriage of the Lu Mansion had already stopped at the gate of the Yan Literature College. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Changfeng lifted the curtain, and Lu Shuo jumped down from the carriage first, followed by Qingquan Xiuzhu in turn, carrying the test basket, bookcase and other things used in Lu Shuo's exam.
Although it was still early, red lanterns had already been hung on the east and west doors of the Yanwen Academy, illuminating the entire entrance of the college in red.
As soon as Lu Shuo got off the carriage, he stood still, and when he looked up, he saw a plaque inscribed with the four big characters of "Yanwen Academy".
The dragon flying and phoenix dancing mentioned in the four words "Yanwen Academy" looked at it without much discipline.
Lu Shuo smiled and shook his head.
The calligraphy of this time-traveler emperor is really not very good!
The "Yanwen Academy" was specially established by Emperor Taizu Xie Lun for the students of Jingshi.
Formally speaking, the county examination is conducted uniformly throughout the country, and each county has prepared an examination room, which is set up in the county office of each county, presided over by the county officials of each county, and the instructors of the Confucianism Department invigilate the examination.
Emperor Taizu felt that there were many Confucian officials in the Jingshi family, and there were many talents, and it was a place where the dragon and the tiger were hidden, and the imperial examination should also be paid special attention to.
Therefore, the people's power was mobilized to build this "Yiwen Academy", which was used as a venue for Beijing students to conduct the imperial examinations at the township examination and below the level, and was open for use regularly.
Of course, the examination for the gathering of talents from all over the country is also held here.
For the students of Beijing Normal University, the establishment of the "Yiwen Academy" has both advantages and disadvantages.
On the one hand, the "Yanwen Academy" was personally urged by Emperor Taizu to be built, and compared with the number houses in other counties, the construction is much more elaborate.
According to Lu Yun, who has experience in scientific research, the number room inside the college is very spacious, and it is equipped with hot food on time, and each room has a wall that has been opened, and the fire wall has been repaired according to the design of Emperor Taizu.
The creation of the wall of fire is simply the gospel of the imperial examination candidates!
Once the fire is lit in winter, the fire wall will warm the room. Even if the exam is held on a cold February day in Kyoto, you will not feel cold when you are wearing only a single suit.
Because of the good effect, the use of the fire wall has also spread to other Daozhou counties.
Almost all the candidates praised this feat of Emperor Taizu.
You must know that several exams in the imperial examination are held in winter, and the cold has also become a big killer of the imperial examination!
Many candidates have poetry books in their stomachs, but because they are weak and unable to stand the cold, they will not only be affected by their performance, but also be threatened by their lives from time to time.
After all, there are not a few candidates who die because of the cold in the examination room!
On the other hand, Kyoshi is not only the capital of the province, but also the largest prefecture in Kannai Province. Emperor Taizu, however, gathered candidates from the entire state at the Yanwen Academy for the imperial examination.
There are many subordinate counties in Beijing, coupled with the flourishing literary style, the competitive pressure is not small.
Just like the county examination he is going to take now, there are more than 2,000 candidates every year, and there are many outstanding ones.
Therefore, although the level of the children's examination is low, because it is a competition with people from the whole state, there are a large number of people who fail to pass every year.
Therefore, if you can win the "little three yuan" in the county examination, government examination, and hospital examination of Beijing Division, it is equivalent to defeating the students of the entire Beijing Division, and compared with other states and counties, the gold content is very high!
Lu Shuo was thinking about this, and the white steward had already come to him, and said helplessly: "It's just past hour, and it's not dawn yet! The slave thought it was early enough, but he didn't expect so many students to come." ”
Lu Shuo looked at the crowd in front of him and said with a smile: "You don't know the situation of the Jingshi, this is also something that can't be helped! The county exam is the first round of the exam, and the students naturally have to pay more attention, plus there are many people, and many candidates are worried that they won't have time to enter the examination room, and it is normal to queue up so long in advance!"
Although he said this, he wondered in his heart: it was just the middle of the day, but these people came so early, and they were not afraid of lack of sleep in the examination room.
While talking, several people approached the crowd.
When I got closer, I could see the situation of the crowd clearly: there were those with gray hair, and there were also teenagers like him, bringing together people of all ages, but they were very orderly.
It turned out that because there were too many people, the students were divided into twenty or so small columns and lined up to enter the gate.
Lu Shuo quickly found the queue he was in.
He turned around and took the examination basket and bookcase from Qingquan Xiuzhu's hands, and explained to the white steward: "Uncle Bai, you can't enter over there, so you can send it here! I see that this county exam will take more than half a day, and you don't have to wait here, it is better to drive the carriage back to the house first, and when the time is estimated to be over, it is not too late to pick me up." ”
The white steward was very persistent.
"Young master, don't worry about this, nothing is as important as your exam now, our main responsibility today is to let you enter the exam room smoothly, and take you back if you don't feel at ease, the slave will not leave." ”
Seeing him insisting like this, and knowing that the white steward had always been a proper one, he simply stopped caring about it, waved goodbye to the four of them, and followed the crowd into the academy.
Lu Shuo lined up in more than fifty people in this line, and by the time he arrived, the sky was already slightly bright.
The little official who checked took Lu Shuo's identity document and exam card, and as soon as he saw the names of the three generations of clan relatives and the guarantor written on the document, his attitude immediately became respectful.
Lu Shuo could understand him.
His own background is just that, and the name of the guarantor is also well-known - it is Lu Yun's friend, now Fan Qin, the head of the household.
The household department is a fat shortage, and it is the most powerful of the six departments except for the official department, and many people want to enter it, and the competition is very fierce.
Fan Qin was just a son of a poor family from a peasant family, that is, he had no clan support and no strong wife, so he simply worshiped under his maternal grandfather Yuan Zhongdao, and because of his excellent knowledge, he was accepted by Yuan Zhongdao as a disciple, which helped him a lot.
"It turned out to be Little Master Lu!" The little official who checked stood up and saluted with a smile, his face a little flattering.
Although this is the case, because of the strict rules, the little official still compared the physical description on the document, "10 years old, with a fair face and a medium ......", and looked at Lu Shuo.
After seeing that there was no difference between him and the appearance described in the document, the little official hunched his waist and let go.
Lu Shuo was taken by the soldiers to a nearby room for interrogation.
It was very warm in the room, and there were already a few people at this time, and the disheveled ones were the students who had just lined up in front of him.
Lu Shuo looked at their shirtless and cramped and uneasy appearance, and closed his eyes slightly.
What a spicy eye!
But soon it was his turn.
The soldier ordered him to take off his clothes, and it was not until there was only one single layer left that he felt around, and when he saw that there was really no entrainment, he was considered to have completed the inspection and let him go.
Being checked by a little brother touching around through a single coat, this feeling, really, very sour.
While Lu Shuo was wearing clothes, he secretly complained in his heart.
