Crab roe dipping sauce is eaten too much, easy to diarrhea, fortunately Jia Cong is not greedy, the general rice wine is not high, even if the child drinks a little, it will not hurt the body, get up early the next day, Qingwen is still laughing when she sleeps, Jia Cong covered the quilt for her, Xiangling came in to serve and dress and wash, and asked Sun Fu to enter the Neiyi Gate on the East Road to reply, and they went to Nancheng and rode a gentle family to raise horses.

When he arrived at the Qin Mansion, Qin Ye wore the brocade chicken supplement uniform of a second-grade civil official, with a bright chest and back, bright and dazzling, and entered the house to talk, Jia Cong congratulated: "The teacher has been promoted?" Also, if you take the exam every three years, you should be promoted in six years. ”

"The left waiter of the Ministry of Works, in fact, is not very elegant." Qin Ye shook off his three-foot long sleeves and sat down: "The camp department is responsible for the construction of palaces, mausoleums, castles, mandalas, ancestral temples, warehouses, mansions, barracks, and royal mansions, as well as the production of halogen books, musical instruments, honor guards, and prison equipment. ”

"It's not a Qing important department, the Ministry of Industry is also one of the nine kings, my Chao Shangshu is a first-class member, no wonder the students come back this time, the mansion has a new look, and the waiter is better than Langzhong." Jia Cong looked at the enlarged mansion and thought to himself that the water conservancy engineering department should be at the deputy ministerial level, and it would be easy to make some money.

The reason why his teacher's original book died of illness in one fell ill was also due to his old age, and the most important reason was that his own son Qin Zhong made him extremely disappointed, and he couldn't make any progress in his career, lingering with nuns, and he felt hopeless. Although the average life expectancy was low in ancient times, for the bureaucratic class, it was not difficult to pay attention to health preservation, nutrition and hygiene, and it was not difficult to live to be sixty or seventy years old.

"This is not the case with the Ministry of Industry, and hundreds of officials are ashamed to be together." Qin Ye shook his head: "During the Xuande period, Lu Xiang, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, was born as a stonemason, the left waiter of the Orthodox Ministry of Industry, Kuaixiang was born as a carpenter, and Wan Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Chemical Industry, was just a county official, and the Shangshu of the Jiajing Ministry of Industry was also a carpenter...... When he went to court, he was crowded behind, Jiuqing ...... The Ministry of Engineering is not worthy of its name, so it is the safest for you to take the Jinshi Examination, no matter which department you go. ”

"I remember that Pan Jitao was not a craftsman." Jia Cong said, even the first-class jinshi looks down on the third-class jinshi, not to mention the eyes of the general jinshi who look at the craftsmen, it's strange not to squeeze them behind, gentle and frugal, hehe, just talk.

"Pan Jitao is a two-list person from the Eight Classics, and a famous river ruler transferred from the chief priest of the Criminal Department." Qin Ye said: "I was promoted to the squire, and I was the emperor's special Jane, and the craftsman Shanziye you have seen is ranked with me as the right squire." The real reason is that the temple is completed, and it will be buried in the earth in the coming day, and it can also be buried according to the etiquette, which is considered to be no regrets in this life. ”

"The teacher said that these are still far away, isn't the senior brother in the show, and there will be a time to enjoy happiness in the future." Jia Cong consulted Qin Ye on some current affairs and policy issues, and the palace examination was scheduled for April 21, and the time was urgent.

If the tribute does not participate in the palace examination or the court examination, he will never become a jinshi, and he will be sandwiched between the lifting person and the jinshi, and some of the tributes will be delayed by some things, and they will always become a tribute. Although the palace examination does not test the Four Books and Five Classics, and turns to practical political strategies, the subsequent second-class and third-class court examinations, including the regular examinations of the Hanlin Academy, are mainly based on the Four Books and Five Classics, which also puts an end to people who do not have real talent and learning.

"Today, since I was a child, I have lectured on the teachings of the lecturer, from time to time to hold sutra feasts, and when the dragon dives, I have inspected the world, and the strategy must be based on practicality, and maybe a few poems will be added." Qin Ye flipped through the copywriting and put on his glasses: "There are a total of eight ministers who read the papers in the newspaper, and the Ministry of Rites will issue a bill, and the six Jinshi scholars from the six departments will be hand-picked Shangshu, Shilang, Zuodu Yushi, Zuo Deputy Imperial History, and Cabinet University Scholar ......"

"The cabinet minister Zhang Fenyi is in the list, Jiangxi is pleasant, and the division and Liu Dongsheng are both in ......"

Jia Cong was shocked, the hall tried twice, the first one was the Di newspaper, the Jia family received the Di report only Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng is now the Henan Xuezheng, so the news is the first time he has heard it. Since the palace examination is nominally the emperor as the main examination, it is called reading the paper but not the reading of the paper, and the reading of the minister's paper is first evenly scored, followed by the round view, and finally the table is transferred, and the results are generally approved by the chief minister.

This year's Bingzi Palace Examination, the selection and ranking, in the hands of the cabinet minister Zhang Fenyi, Jinshi to meet the emperor, must be the little pass and pass the pass after the exam.

"Oh...... The students bought two hundred-year-old ginseng from the Xue family store to replenish the teacher's body. Jia Cong said: "I have already asked the little guys to transfer it to the housekeeper." ”

"Why bother, I've already seen Imperial Doctor Wang of Dafangmai (Internal Medicine) of Tai Hospital, and it's no big deal." Qin Ye has a slight heart, there is a kind of student who does not recognize the teacher, and even turns against him because of political interests, he is glad that Jia Cong is not like a white-eyed wolf, and he wants to talk about the situation of several princes, but he feels that it is too early, and asks him to go down to find Qin Zhong.

A garden was added behind the Qin Mansion, Jia Cong and Qin Zhong talked for a long time, went out of the study, walked through the hall, it was the garden, the summer flowers were brilliant, the lotus leaves were green, Qin Keqing and the two girls were fishing for fish, Qin Zhong was polite: "What flowers do you like?" ”

Jia Cong thought about it and said, "Hibiscus, peonies, and peach blossoms are all good." ”

"Since Li Tang came, the world loves peonies very much, I just asked my father for a few altars, Caozhou peony, that bright." Qin Zhongdao.

"Only the peony is true to the country, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom." Qin Keqing moved the fishing rod and interjected: "Why doesn't anyone love chrysanthemums?" I'd rather die with incense on the branches than blow down in the north wind. ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Chrysanthemum, I can't appreciate it." Let Tao Yuanming enjoy it. The world loves beauty, peach blossoms and peonies are gorgeous. ”

"Your sister is like Jasmine...... Isn't my sister a peach blossom? Qin Zhong whispered, and Qin Keqing asked, "What are you talking about?" The two men remained silent.

……

Mingshun has a developed commodity economy, and there are shops in the front streets of Yaxian and Yamen in various places, and these shops must have something to do with the Yamen, and the plaintiffs and defendants in lawsuits and lawsuits must invite the people in the Yamen to eat and drink.

Take the capital as an example, on both sides of the main chessboard street, are the location of the yamen of the capital, the Metropolitan Inspectorate's Soldiers and Horses, Shuntianfu, and the shops on the front street, row upon row, squeezed together, and the disguise is either copper or tin, wishing that each one was bigger than the other. The same is true of Zhengyangmen East and West Street, Xuanwumen West Market, and Chongwenmen East Market.

Among them, many paved porch houses around the railing, the eaves, the eaves stretch out far away, the road is getting narrower and narrower, the road between the corridors and houses has a canopy to shelter from the wind and rain, at that time the people who wrote the local chronicles, the capital chronicles said sadly and indignantly: today's streets and alleys, what are the streets and alleys of the past? The day is getting closer and the day is narrowing, like encroachment.

People from all over the world gather in Beijing, all kinds of alleys, restaurants, teahouses, as far as Zhengyangmen, as far as the goldfish pond in Nancheng, Guanxiang, neighborhoods, you can see the rare and rare figure of the old man in the past, Jia Cong with the title of five yuan, the news of the palace test, are their talking points.

It was not until April 21 that the temple examination began.
