Chapter 265: The First College Entrance Examination
Qingli three years of Shaanxi's township test in Chang'an City's Qunxian Fang, the word Qunxian represents how high the Yamen's expectations for this year's candidates, after the war, a hundred wastes to be revived, Yamen also hopes that this session of candidates can produce several national pillars of talent.
"Childe, can you go faster, what should I do if I can't enter the exam room when I'm late?"
Lu Zifei said half-heartedly as he walked: "Banxia, look at where the sun is now?" It's not like we don't know, I'll let you have some dinner with me at home, you're like a hungry ghost, it's okay now. ”
Banxia said: "Aren't I afraid that my son will be late? After walking for a while, I also felt hungry. ”
"Then let's go to Yongpingfang to eat something first, and then go to the examination room, when you enter the examination room, my son-in-law will cook and eat by myself."
Banxia asked hesitantly: "Is that Yongpingfang that Childe said close to the examination room?" In her heart, nothing is bigger than the matter of the child's exam, and she would rather go back hungry without eating.
Lu Zifei said: "Ten minutes away, you can follow me with peace of mind, now there are more than two hours before entering the examination room?" ”
The two of them came to a century-old shop of mutton steamed buns in Yongpingfang, not to mention whether it was delicious or not, anyway, it was very famous, Lu Zifei looked at the busy Xiao Er and said: "Two water basins, five baked cakes, and one more green onion." ”
"The boy by the window has two water basins, five baked cakes, and one more green onion, you wait, it'll be fine right away." Xiao Er said in his unique voice, the kind that has a lot of charm.
"I thought that Gongzi was going to eat something, why is it mutton, I don't know if they do it well, the smell is too heavy, Gongzi you eat alone, I don't eat it." Banxia said complainingly.
Lu Zifei said with a smile: "Do you know why it's called a water basin?" The water basin is your own steamed bun, mainly to drink soup, whether their meat is good or not, it must be hot, and you will taste it, girls eat more mutton to warm their stomachs. ”
Banxia said: "I want to learn from my sister, you see how good her figure is, many girls are envious." ”
The two people stopped discussing the mutton, and Lu Zifei sniffed it and said, "It's not bad to add pine wood to the scald." ”
Rushing to believe his son's words, Banxia still drank a bowl of soup, and all the meat in it was given to Lu Zifei, took a bite of the steamed bun and said: "This steamed bun is okay, if the son doesn't go in, I will bring you some." ”
"Forget it, this steamed bun is colder than turning my head, and it's better to save a little bit of charcoal than I brought."
The two of them came to Qunxianfang after a full meal, Lu Zifei took a look, there were not many candidates, no more than two hundred, but this army of relatives was the main force, and the entire entrance of the examination room was occupied by them.
Some parents are telling something, some are sharpening knives, and most of them are still silent.
The candidates of this era are about the same age as the college entrance examination candidates of later generations, eighteen or nineteen years old, and of course, there are those who are older, Lu Zifei saw several people who were at least forty years old, maybe his son was taking the same exam with him.
Banxia followed the gaze of his son-in-law and saw the older ones and said: "Son, what can you do if they pass the exam, it drags down the family, it is better to plant a few acres of land in peace." ”
Lu Zifei thought to himself, what do you little girl know, scholars are more terrible than ordinary people, they have made this feudal society corroded, in order to study and take the top prize, they can give up anything, and their daughter-in-law is also willing, after all, living in this world, fame and fortune are inseparable topics.
"Their strong willpower is still worth learning, but it can't be used in learning, it's one thing to study hard, skills and talent are also important."
"Brother Tai is right, at this age, it's better to go home and train your son well, make way for young people, it's been more than ten years since I took the exam, it's me and I don't have the face to come out to meet people."
A strange candidate accosted, and Lu Zifei arched his hand and said: "Chang'an Lu Hanzhang has seen Brother Tai. ”
"Zhe Kexing has seen Brother Lu, Brother Lu is so blessed, you are the only one with the maid who is full of candidates." There is also that kind of bad look in his eyes, which means that they are all men, you know.
Lu Zifei raised his eyes and found that this was indeed the case, Banxia also went underground, Lu Zifei said: "I don't know if Brother Zhe knows General Zhe Jimin?" "Because he knows that the surname Zhe is rare, and if I remember correctly, there is only one family, that is, the famous Zhejia Army, and the well-known 'She Taijun' in later generations is from their family.
Zhi Kexing said in surprise: "I didn't expect Brother Lu to know my father, is my father so famous?" Anyone knows. ”
Lu Zifei looked at this funny young man and smiled, he didn't expect that he was the son of General Zhijimin, where would he not meet in his life!
"Disrespectful, I didn't expect Brother Zhe to be a famous family, it's just."
Zhi Kexing said: "Do you want to ask me why I don't inherit my father's art of war and come to participate in the imperial examination?" ”
Lu Zifei said embarrassedly: "It's just a little curious, don't think too much about it." ”
"What do you have to think about it, my father said that there was no war to fight at the border, so let me participate in the imperial examination, don't you say this is bullying?"
Lu Zifei said: "The general has a good eye, I saw the demeanor of the general in Gyeongju that day, and it is still unforgettable, it seems that Brother Zhe is also a tiger father without a dog, I will not let Brother Zhe in the examination room." ”
Zhi Kexing said with a big grin: "I didn't want to get ahead here, I was bored at home, I just wanted to go to the capital to see it, Brother Lu said that you have seen your father in Gyeongju, have you also joined the army?" ”
Lu Zifei said: "It was an unbearable past, the northwest was defeated, General Zhi was one of the few people who won the battle, without those victories, the people of the northwest would have been desperate." ”
"It's not as serious as Brother Lu said, but Brother Lu, you make me admire, no matter what the reason is, it is not easy to survive that battle, I think you were not too old at that time!"
Lu Zifei recalled that time and said: "I entered the military camp at the age of fifteen and stayed in the northwest for three years, I grew a lot in those three years, and it was the most valuable experience in my life. ”
Zhi Kexing said: "Don't say much, Brother Lu accepts my knees, you are really a big brother, the Zhi family has been in the army for generations, and there is really no one who went to the battlefield at the age of fifteen, and you don't look like a practitioner in your figure." ”
"It's all forced, there is a way who will be idle and have nothing to do on the battlefield, let's go! It's time to search your body, so let's go too! ”
The door in front of the examination room was closed, and the four sharp-eyed yacha searched their bodies one by one, calling whose name was on whom, Lu Zifei saw that many candidates had found entrainment, in their hair, steamed buns, and clothes, and they were really painstaking in order to cheat.
These people who searched their bodies have always been engaged in this industry, and the ways of cheating of candidates are commonplace for them, and after searching more than a dozen people, one of the yacha said: "Those who are smuggled and entrained, I suggest that you dispose of them yourself, there is no need to waste time here, no one can escape our eyes." ”
Those who are timid have consciously thrown their cheat sheets into other people's baskets, anyway, there are still people who don't give up and are lucky, Yacha is unceremonious to this kind of people, and they turn over the boxes with stationery and food in a mess, even a steamed bun has to be broken to see, Lu Zifei thought that he was not sure that he would review for two years, this way is really despicable.
"One hundred and fifty-three, Lu Zifei stepped forward."
After Lu Zifei came up, the yacha casually looked through it and respectfully invited him inside, the candidates in the back were not happy, you are too strict with us, at first glance, it is a relational household, can we hot-blooded young people let it go?
"Why can he pass easily, you haven't searched him."
Yacha stopped what he was doing and said, "He doesn't care about cheating at all, you know?" You haven't heard the name Lu Zifei in Chang'an, so if you haven't heard of it, you will inquire clearly and come back. ”
Zhi Kexing finally knew that he had heard the name Lu Zifei there, and patted his forehead, what a stupidity! I should have thought of it a long time ago, the famous Wangbei Hou! No wonder he said he had met his father, but he was quite approachable.
It's just that this young man is a bit excessive, fifteen years plus three years of war, plus two years, and this year is a full twenty years old, which really doesn't give us mediocre people to live.
There are also people muttering below: "Wangbei Hou came to participate in the township test, what chance do we have, it's all Hou Ye who still came to compete with us for this place, can't you be your own Hou Ye?" ”
"Shut up, Master Hou's family doesn't care about you, what are you doing here, the opportunities are fair, I haven't seen Lord Hou oppress people with power, a group of people who are amorous and jealous of other people's talents, what does it have to do with identity in their hearts, the bottle is full of sound, half a bottle is swaying, and I look down on people like you the most."
These yacha were very poisonous snakes under the noise of the day, and those who spoke were dumbfounded by him, and after the body search, someone on the side shouted: "Close the door, and open the door again in three days." ”
After Lu Zifei came in, he found that this examination room was quite interesting, the ancient people also thought of a lot of ways to deal with cheating, the distance between the examination tables was still a little far from each other, and after placing the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, the examiner of the school department came in, Lu Zifei thought of a problem, he had never visited the county school.
After everyone sat down, the examiner said: "Qingli three years 'Jingzhaofu' township examination officially began, before the exam I will talk about the rules of the exam, not allowed to hand over ears, not allowed to pass a small note, once found, immediately dismissed from the examination qualifications, now verify the correct body." ”
Lu Zifei thought to himself whether he was going to take off his clothes after checking his body, but in fact, he was wrong, the county government was afraid that someone would come to impersonate him, so he would only carry out this step after entering the examination room.
Fortunately, there was no substitute in the examination room, everything was normal, and the examiner said: "Start sending questions, and say in advance who has a problem or a vague test paper after the question is in hand." ”
