Chapter 166: The House Exam
Hibiscus sat in a chair, her eyes hollow and her eyes numb. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
She looks five points similar to Mu Ling, and she is only three years behind next year, but now she looks like she is ten years behind. Mu Hibiscus pupils are hollow, her eyes are dilated, Mu Ling is talking to her at this time, and she also reacts, but she mutters "Little Sister Little Sister" without crying and laughing, obviously she recognizes Mu Ling, but she doesn't even know how to express joy.
"Big Sister ......"
Mu Ling and Mu Hibiscus hugged their heads and cried, Mu Ling felt sorry for Mu Hibiscus's ordeal, they were flesh and blood, and they felt the same way.
"Your sister is probably suffering at the hands of human teeth, you don't have to rush to stimulate her first, maybe she will get better in two days."
Mu Ling nodded, Mu Hibiscus was not suitable for crying and laughing at this time, and she could only recuperate to regain her senses.
"Madame, what shall I do?"
Impatience is not a way, Mu Ling regards Mei Xueyan as the backbone at this time, Mei Xueyan can calmly win in the face of the Qinglian faction, in her heart, Mei Xueyan is obviously about the same age as Mu Hibiscus, but she seems to be an omnipotent person, just like the rumors outside, she is the apprentice of the fairy master.
"You go and pack up a side room and come out, let your eldest sister recuperate for a few days, there are many accommodations in our house, by the way, we will also pick up two rooms for these two soldiers."
"Hmmm! But the eldest sister doesn't have to occupy a lot of housing, she just eats and sleeps with me, and I can take care of her. ”
"That'll do fine." Mei Xueyan didn't force it.
Mu Ling didn't care about the injury on her knee, and acted according to Mei Xueyan's words in a hurry, but was stopped by two guards.
"Hey! Madam, we don't need it either, we rolled up the bed ourselves, we will clean it up ourselves, and we are not used to being served by others. ”
One of these two guards is called Wei Xiong, the other is called Wei Ying, and they are also two brothers, Mei Xueyan knew the two of them when they were in the Chiyan Army.
"Okay then." Mei Xueyan said helplessly, "Mu Ling, you go to the Meiji Herb Hall, find Dr. Mei Changgeng to prescribe two soothing prescriptions, pick up the medicine for your sister to drink, and let him record the money in my account." ”
Hibiscus was brought back by Lin Sanlang from Ren Yazi, and sure enough, it would be better to have a man in charge of the family to do things, if Mei Xueyan went by herself, those people Yazi had a way to send her, but she was afraid that she would return empty-handed.
But Lin Saburo is different, he is rude when he comes to the door, and he doesn't reason with them, as long as he is a person, the Chiyan Army is almost sideways in Taiyuan Mansion, and even the City Guard Mansion can't control them, and he is even more unscrupulous to deal with some pickled people, and it's okay for people to bully ordinary people, and if they are planted in the hands of a military household like Lin Sanlang, it is more than manpower and martial arts.
Now that I think about it, even if the human teeth can really suppress Lin Sanlang, they don't dare to make a big fuss, their Qinglian faction's eyeliner in the city, once they are entangled with these military households and official mansions, they are in danger of being exposed, and they can only let them go.
After Mei Xueyan explained some trivial things, she took a nap with peace of mind, and then got up to read and practice calligraphy, preparing for tomorrow's government exam.
……
The government examination is the biggest event in the land of a government, because the government examination can be described as the most important level in the life of a literati.
Lifting people or more can serve as official positions, for example, the seven-rank Wu County Order is a lifter, without a humanistic position, even if the family background is outstanding, it cannot be awarded more than the eight-grade official title.
The government test is biennial, and only ten people are taken in the entire Taiyuan Mansion, which is more difficult than 10,000 people crossing the single-plank bridge, and the ten lifters in the middle will naturally become the upstarts of the Taiyuan Mansion, and the losers are like countless carps crossing the river, so they can only wait for another two years.
In order to prevent those who try their luck from filling up the number of seats, the Faculty of Arts stipulates that only the number of places recommended by regular colleges can participate in the government examination, and the number of places owned by a college depends on the results of the previous government examination.
For example, Yuelu Academy was at the bottom of the ranking of Taiyuan Mansion, and only one person was selected in the last session, so this year's number of recommended people was reduced to 600 people. And the biggest is naturally the Fu Academy, last year's champion came from the Fu Academy, and there were four people in the promotion, so this year's recommendation quota is still 2,000 people.
Generally, government-run academies will be stronger than private academies, and for ten consecutive years, the number of academies in Taiyuan has exceeded one-third of that of Taiyuan Mansion, and every year the champions are from academies, which is normal.
Mei Xueyan stood empty-handed outside the Academy, sighing that the Taiyuan Mansion was really magnificent, the Academy covered an extremely wide area, Mei Xueyan only saw the wall and gate like a long dragon and was shocked, the gate was traditional and solemn, the plaque inscription persuaded the couplet to learn a lot, and there were two huge stone lions outside.
"You give me the bookcase, you can go back first."
Mei Xueyan stood bored, and Wei Xiong also stood with her, not leaving an inch.
"No, Lord Lin has an order, don't let Mrs. out of sight, you must follow!" Wei Xiong said with his chest straight.
Mei Xueyan has told him several times in this conversation, and sure enough, the stubbornness of being a soldier is like a cow, no matter how much persuasion works, they only carry out military orders, and do not tell you the reason.
"And when are you going to follow? When the exam starts, you won't be able to get in. ”
Wei Xiong hadn't thought about this problem, once the exam started, he would definitely not be able to enter the Fuwen Academy.
"Then ......," Wei Xiong thought for a moment with what little brain cells he had left, "then I'll wait outside and wait for Madame to come out!" ”
“……”
Mei Xueyan couldn't help but roll her eyelids, unable to communicate at all.
Fortunately, the academy is large enough to accommodate thousands of people to take the exam on the same day, otherwise it will be divided into batches, and the students waiting outside are naturally crowded, and there are many young ladies in the boudoir who watch the excitement, or send their relatives.
"In this government test, I can only be 20% sure......"
"Twenty percent? It's already quite a lot, I don't even have half of it! It's all a matter of luck! ”
"That's it...... Especially Mei Xueyan came to our Taiyuan Mansion, and there is one less place, plus the ironclad 'four sons' of the Mansion Academy, it is still our turn? ”
"Let's fight, it's all Bo."
"Most of us burn incense and worship the Buddha by luck, if you are lucky, maybe you will get a champion, hahaha......" Some people comfort themselves.
"Don't think about it, with Mao Kaizhi, no one can take away this position."
After speaking, he was lost and dignified, and he was faintly admired.
……
There are endless discussions like this, and the talents have to talk to each other to relieve some tension, of course, there are also withdrawn ones, hiding aside and silent, but some of their faces are iron-blue, and some of their lips are white, and the wait before the exam is the most difficult.
Many people came to greet Mei Xueyan, and the words were not particularly warm and hostile, because Mei Xueyan helped the Chiyan Army eradicate the Qinglian faction rudder, and in Taiyuan Mansion, Mei Xueyan was their benefactor, plus the rumors of those divine doctors and fairies, and the disciples of the masters, they were more curious.
"Miss Mei!"
