Chapter 35: Zhufeng leaves for the Beijing exam

A few days passed, early in the morning.

In the calm and tranquil flower house, the pot suddenly exploded, and the domestic servants who were still in other courtyards flocked to the front yard.

Why do you say that?

This has to be "credited" to Qiu Niang, who just came back from grocery shopping!

--- time back a quarter of an hour ago---

As soon as Qiu Niang stepped into the door of the house, she exclaimed to the servants who were working in the front yard before she put down the things and vegetables she had purchased.

Summoned: "Oh my God, do you know that our Mo Gongzi is about to go to Beijing to catch the exam?" I heard that among the people in the county this year, Gongzi and the other four talents in our county are the most likely to solve the yuan! When I was shopping for vegetables, I saw the official on the street next to the vegetable market sticking a notice list, so I knew. ”

There was silence. At first hearing the news, it was inevitable to be surprised, but after a while, there was a collective cheer......

"Wow, really?" The maids exclaimed in amazement.

"Childe, you're amazing! Come on to take the county test, we are waiting for you to come back with a good name. ”

This is the screaming and screaming of a group of servants and servants in the house.

"But who can tell me what the county test is? Isn't Childe a talent, why do you have to take the test again! Who's going to tell me about Lao Li. The first nursing house in the house was puzzled, it seems that he is an illiterate old man, and he usually doesn't pay much attention to these interesting things about literati.

At this time, a third-class little maid with a little ink in her stomach heard it and explained to him: "I'll say, everyone, listen!

In our Southern Song Kingdom, and even in the empire of the entire Mixed Yuan Continent (those small countries and tribes are not counted), the exam is divided into three times, and the test is divided into three ranks and names!

I'm afraid you don't understand, I'll go into more detail------

The first is the township examination, which is held once a year and is limited to 1,000 people in each city;

If you pass the exam, you will get: the last student rank, the name of the talent, and the 'student' who won the first place in the city.

(The examination requirements are: all 'unequal students' who have reached the age of 15 in the three places of 'city, county under the jurisdiction of the city, and township under the jurisdiction of the city', and the examination place is the 'county center' of the county, and the major 'public private school or academy' in the central city.)

In addition, the 'clan-run private school' and the 'private academy' established by wealthy businessmen were rejected as examination venues! Moreover, counties and townships do not have separate examination rooms and quotas: they need to go directly to the examination room of their respective cities, share the examination room with candidates in that city, and compete for qualified places in one city. )

The second is the county examination, which is held every two years and is limited to 500 people in each county;

If you pass the exam, you will get: the middle student rank, the name of the person, the first place in the county's 'Xie Yuan'.

(The examination requirements are all the 'last students' of the 'county and the three capitals', and the examination location is the major 'well-known academies' belonging to the 'capital', and basically one academy can accommodate candidates from one county.)

Most of the well-known academies are public, but there are also 'semi-public and semi-private academies' run by a few Confucian masters.

In addition, it is forbidden to use certain academies run by individual imperial families for the exclusive use of the imperial family and relatives, such as the 'Guoxuetang', and the only academy run by the royal family for the exclusive use of the imperial family, and the 'upper study' is the size of a palace specially set up in the palace! Neither of them can be used as an examination room. )

The third is the national examination, which is held every three years and limits the number of qualified people nationwide to 300;

If you pass the exam, you will get: the rank of a higher student, the name of Jinshi, and the 'Huiyuan' who won the first place in the county.

(The examination requirements are secondary students from all over the country, and the examination location is the 'Gongyuan' in the capital, a compound dedicated to the imperial examination.) )

After the exam, in fact, there is a palace exam three days later, and the final top three will be decided!

This palace examination is also held every three years, and only the top 50 jinshi of that year can enter the main hall;

If you pass the examination, you will get: the rank of a special student, the name "Longshi", which means "the protégé of the Son of Heaven";

As for the three capitals mentioned above: in fact, it refers to the three independent cities of the Southern Song Dynasty, which do not belong to the county, ------ the capital of the country in the east and the north, the vice capital of the country in the south, the vice capital of the country in the south, and the gate of the country and the guard capital of the west, 'Tiejiabao'.

So, you all get it? ”

After finishing speaking, the little girl raised her chin slightly arrogantly, but she said it simply and in detail! It seems that he has a straightforward personality and doesn't sell much guanzi, which won a round of applause from everyone.

……

Here, the crowd is still cheering and talking;

Over there, in the "Zhutao Xuan", the expression of Mo Zhufeng, who received the news, remained unchanged.

It's no wonder that he expected it, as the first talent in the county this year. If you can't even pass the county exam, let alone want to pass the national exam to become a jinshi, and even win the top three to compete for the top spot!

Therefore, in recent days, he has been reviewing and recuperating his books; Except for necessary outings, such as scholars' clubs, other cultural activities will not be attended.

He briefly checked the luggage he had prepared earlier, and decided to go to Xianghua Xiangrong to say hello in advance, so as not to upset her with a sudden goodbye.

Mozhu walked through the cobblestone path between the two gardens, and went straight to the big garden "Xiaoyue Pavilion" where Hua Xiangrong lived.

In front of the door, after greeting the servant woman guarding the garden, he walked to the door of the master bedroom of Hua Xiangrong.

"Knock---knock---knock---"

Mo Zhufeng knocked on the door twice, and when he saw that no one responded, he estimated that Hua Xiangrong might not have gotten up yet.

He said to the little maid guarding the door next to him: "After a while, the young lady will wake up, after dinner; I asked the girl to tell me on my behalf, and said that Zhufeng had already come, and I had a personal matter to report and discuss with her. ”

Seeing that the maid chuckled, he put his mind at ease and said again: "It can be bluntly said that Zhufeng is about to enter Beijing to catch the exam!" This girl may not have known the news, and the news has already come from the front yard, but this is also because you have been here all along; Because of this, your young lady usually doesn't even go out of the garden door, so it's even more impossible to know. So, I hope the girl must not forget to help Zhufeng tell me that I have been here, I am indeed in a hurry! Before leaving, there are still some important things that must be reported to the young lady, and there must be no delay. ”

After that, Mo Zhufeng also said "thank you".

Then I was ready to go back to my garden, and I added some more luggage to make sure that nothing went wrong; In the next few days, he will also have a good diet and rest.

In order to use the best state to face the county exam!

[Yu Jia has something to say 1: The ancient imperial examination in this chapter has been greatly revised by the author, anyway, it is an overhead era! ] Please forgive me if you are not used to it. 】

[Yu Jia has something to say 2: This mother's net is still my family's net, I don't know what the reason is, in short, it's too stuck---

Even if I didn't catch the last shift, it was a second slower, and the publication time would be tomorrow; It's so depressing, I was uploading a new chapter at 12:58, and I didn't get it in time.

It seems that you have to put the manuscript box first, otherwise it will be dangerous to forget things......]
