Chapter 8 Road Encounters
The primary school exam that Chu Yun mentioned is also the children's exam, and the content of the exam is very simple for Chu Yun.
The content of the Tongzi exam is mainly some Confucian works, well, there is no Confucius in this era, but there is a character similar to Confucius called Dong Xuanzi, referred to as Dongzi, he founded the Confucian school, compiled the Six Classics, his disciples and descendants made a Four Books, and the content of Chu Yun's exam is the Four Books and Six Classics.
And the reason why it is simple is because this boy's test is to write scriptures silently, as well as to annotate the scriptures, and Chu Yun has gained the ability to remember after the autumn hunt, this silent writing is naturally not difficult, and the annotation is translation, Chu Yun didn't think it was so difficult, because in his previous life, he had studied ancient Chinese translation or something, and he was very good at this, compared to many children in this era, Chu Yun's golden finger still has it.
It was the subordinates of the Hou Mansion who went to participate in the children's examination with Chu Yun, Chu Yun was also a young master, and he naturally had to bring his entourage when he went out, and on the day of the children's examination, Chu Yun came to the examination room with his entourage early in the morning.
The imperial examination is very strict, and he has to search his body before the exam, and before the exam, Chu Yun understood the relevant regulations, so he cooperated very much, just like when he used to take the college entrance examination, didn't he also have to scan?
Nanjing as the capital, the material of the students here seems to be much better, Chu Yun once heard that the imperial examination is the first major difficulty in the imperial examination, and some people can't even become a talent when they are old, and Chu Yun looked at other people, and didn't see the characters of seventy or eighty. Probably in the capital area, the standard of living is relatively good!
It is actually very difficult to take the top prize in the cold door exam, this era is different from modern times, poor students don't even have books, and a family like Chu Yun has any books they want to read, and cold scholars have lost from the starting point, but the more this is the case, it is often the students of the poor family who become successful, because they have gone through hardships.
And Chu Yun thinks that the children in Nanjing are generally young and naturally because of this, when they have money, they can buy books, and with books, as long as they spend a little time, they can naturally pass. If you really can't get by, it will definitely not be suitable for the imperial examination.
This is the conclusion that Chu Yun came to after studying the exam questions. He has a task to participate in the children's exam, that is, he must pass the exam, otherwise there will be punishment. And after the exam, Chu Yun felt that he was just unreasonable.
When the results of the exam come out, Chu Yun should be upgraded to Xiucai, there are not many people who become Xiucai at this age, and they are not unique, which is quite in line with Chu Yun's definition of himself.
He can't be a mediocre talent, because he will be on the throne in the future, so he must pave the way for himself now, at least he must have a reputation, but his reputation must not be too much, so as not to arouse Chu Yu's suspicion.
Now that he is in the show, Chu Yu will not be jealous, people have already hugged the prince's thigh, although Chu Shen disagreed with Chu Yu's behavior of hugging the thigh of the fourth prince, but he did not forcibly stop it. The political wisdom of adults, Chu Yu, a bear child, can't learn. However, Chu Shen did not forcibly prevent Chu Yu from becoming the little partner of the fourth prince, which shows the attitude of the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion absolutely supports the future prince.
Even if it is possible to be tied to the chariot of the four princes, it is still supported.
Chu Yun naturally would not have such treatment, of course, no one wanted him to get in the car. Temporarily. Therefore, Chu Yu naturally would not be jealous of him, so Chu Yun could take the opportunity to become famous.
It's really tiring to survive in the cracks, but Chu Yun doesn't complain about his background, if he is from a poor family, it will be more difficult to get on the throne, although there is Chu Yu's time bomb in front of him, but with the recruitment of the four princes, Chu Yun can basically judge that Chu Yu's bomb should not explode.
That's fine, everyone goes their own way, anyway, Chu Yun didn't go to Chu Shen to report to work now, and Chu Shen didn't let Chu Yu learn from Chu Yun.
After taking the children's exam, Chu Yun felt very relaxed, there was no difficulty for him in this level of exam, and when he came out of the examination room, Chu Yun took his entourage home, and passed by the market to take a look.
He usually doesn't have many opportunities to come out to play by himself, the rules of the Hou Mansion are not strict, but Chu Yun wants to go out of the mansion at least to let the housekeeper know where he is going, and the housekeeper will also report to Chu Shen or the wife of the housekeeper, and Chu Yun doesn't want to leave a stubborn name, so if there is no good reason, he always reads well in the Hou Mansion.
The children's test is from the morning to the afternoon (about five o'clock in the afternoon), and Chu Yun doesn't know if he can hand in the papers in advance, although he has already finished answering, he still has to wait until the specified time to leave, so there is not much time for Chu Yun to hang out.
It was already dusk, and Chu Yun calmly walked on the bluestone paved streets, looking at the not bustling street market. For business, Great Xia also has a restrained attitude, but today's commerce is still much more prosperous than the ancient commerce, but Chu Yun can't see anything at this time.
It's getting late, the vendors who are engaged in the business may have closed their stalls and gone home, and the fixed shops will not be open all day long, but these scenes, in Chu Yun's eyes, are still a moving picture worth appreciating. For Chu Yun, perhaps the biggest dream is not to be the first assistant, from the bottom of my heart, it should be that the world is so big, I want to see it.
For modern people, everything in ancient times was novel enough when they were placed in front of them, and Chu Yun almost lingered, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Brother Dengzi!"
This is Wu Yun'er, right? Only hearing the voice, Chu Yun already knew who was calling him, and looked back, only to see a gorgeous carriage parked not far away, the curtain had been lifted, and Wu Yun'er showed her little head, looking very happy.
Chu Yun stepped forward, only to see that there was still a person sitting in the carriage, so Chu Yun called out respectfully: "Grandpa Wu." ”
The other person in the carriage was naturally Wu Yun'er's grandfather Wu Guogong, Wu Guogong had no ill feelings towards Chu Yun, since the younger generations had seen the ceremony, as an elder, he naturally had to care for a few words.
"Little guy, you are still outside at this time, are you participating in the children's test?"
"Yes, Grandpa Wu."
"Haha, your old Chu family is really different, you just like to read, you don't have the fan of a general at all, to you, a little guy, you actually took the test directly."
Chu Yun: "......"
I can't answer this, my brother......
Therefore, Chu Yun could only watch Wu Guogong laugh wildly, and he could only smile. Anyway, you can't talk about elders, and at this time, Wu Yun'er, who has been snubbed by Chu Yun, is unhappy.
"Don't you see me! Hum! ”
