Chapter 51: The sound of the wind and the rain and the crying are not in my ears
Liang Pandi's face became more and more gloomy, obviously angry at Yang Liu's ignorance, Fan Jin was very calm, and said with a smile: "Before the person passed the door, he helped Uncle Hu calculate first." Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info you really asked the wrong person about this, there is a high hall in the family, and it is not my turn to call the shots. My marriage is up to my mother, what my mother says, I will do, and when I marry a child, I will have the final say. ”
"Yes, Jin Tsai is preparing for the house exam right now, where is the time to talk about the love of children, the sister of the Liu family, you have to touch a nail to be satisfied?"
"Sister Liang, we don't have to touch the nails, it's just that since we are elders, we have to do our best. Since Jin Tsai said so, then I will go back and ask Hu Butcher to invite a matchmaker to go to Aunt Fan to mention it, anyway, Jin Tsai is at least not objectionable, right? ”
The three of them were talking, and the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, but they saw Sister Hu carrying a basket and coming in from outside, her head was covered with sweat, and she wiped it while walking, obviously it was very hard all the way. But when he saw Fan Jin, he smiled complacently, walked up to him in a few steps, put the casserole on the table and said, "Brother Jin, I will boil you the champion and the first porridge." Also, my father said that I don't have to rush back, this time when you win the government exam, I just want to congratulate you. ”
The prefectural examination was originally scheduled for April, but it was brought forward to mid-March for the sake of entering the army. When entering the venue, it was still the fourth watch, Sister Hu carried the lamp, Liang Pandi carried the test for Fan Jin, and Guan Qing and Gu Bai acted as bodyguards like door gods, opening the way for Fan Jin left and right.
The place of the examination was in Guangzhou Fuxue, and more than a dozen high poles were erected at the head of the gate, and a huge air death lantern was hung on each pole. The lanterns are written with the names of counties such as Nanhai and Panyu, and candidates from each county must stand under the corresponding lanterns and wait to enter.
Fan Jin, as the head of the Nanhai case, enjoys the treatment of the court, and he holds a hall number in his hand, and sits near the examiner during the exam. It's a stone's throw away, and if you want to cheat, you can't bring it with you, but it's also good to be close to the exam.
As with the county examination, there are many examiners in the government examination, and the examiners may not be able to read the paper carefully, and the slightest negligence may dismiss a good article. Titang students were treated semi-guaranteed, and officials would make a mark on their papers to ensure that they read them carefully. And because of the proximity, as long as it is still early after handing in the papers, you will have the opportunity to be interviewed by the government, so that the probability of the middle test is far greater than that of ordinary students who submit the papers. In addition, Fan Jin has the identity of the head of the Nanhai case, and there is actually no pressure in the examination of the government examination.
Outside the school, I saw dozens of public servants carrying sticks and whips to be on guard, and there were many more officers and soldiers, which made them murderous. Sister Hu was a little scared when she saw it, and looked at Fan Jin and said, "Brother Jin, why is it not like an examination room here, but like a battlefield." The first head also said that he wanted to come to the house to cheer up his brother, but there were many things in the field, and he couldn't leave. If he had come, he would have been so frightened that he would have forgotten anything about his encouragement. ”
Liang Pandi sneered, "Of course, we have to send more soldiers and horses, if you don't let go, if someone smashes the examination room, it will be a big mess." You listen ......"
Following the sound of the wind, Sister Hu only heard bursts of crying, shouting of grievances and heart-rending cries in the distance. At this time, the sky is not yet bright, the sky and the earth are pitch black, only a few lanterns are swaying, like ghost fire, and when you hear this kind of movement again, you can't help but be terrified.
Because of the words passed by Yang Liu's family, Sister Hu decided that Brother Jin was willing to marry her, but she was just waiting for her aunt, thinking that she and Aunt Fan were the same mother and daughter, and the family affairs were all right, and the jealousy of Liang Pandi's jealousy was actually much lighter. Coupled with the situation, he couldn't help but ask, "...... What's going on? ”
"What's going on? The villagers in several counties were forced to die by the grain tax master, so they had to come to the provincial capital to ask for an explanation. The imperial examination is a big event, when will you come if you don't come to cry at this time? If it weren't for the large number of soldiers, they would have come in. ”
Smelling the salty smell wafting from the wind, Liang Pandi said: "Most of this weather is going to rain, these people have no food or drink, and if it rains, they must be sick." ”
"When there are many sick people, there may be an outbreak of pestilence. Even if there is no outbreak of the plague, so many resentful villagers have been in the city for a long time, which is a hidden danger to public security. If it can't be cleared early, there must be a major problem. ”
Listening to Fan Jin's chatter, Liang Pandi couldn't help but smile, "You, you've been a student for a few days for the county master, and you're really taking yourself as an official." Listening to what you mean, I don't look like a candidate, but like an official. ”
"How do you know that I can't be an official, the imperial examination is still for the purpose of being an official in the end, so it is appropriate to understand some government affairs in advance." Fan Jin was talking, but taking advantage of the darkness around him, his hand gently pinched Liang Pandi's arm, and the latter slapped the back of his hand with his hand, and his eyes unconsciously looked towards Sister Hu.
At this moment, I heard that the messenger had already shouted: "The candidate with the number of the hall, come forward to search and prepare to enter!" ”
Fan Jin took the test blue and lantern, walked towards the examination room, turned around and nodded to Liang Pandi, Sister Hu desperately cocked her feet, waved her arms to say goodbye to Fan Jin, and said with a smile on her face: "Brother Jin smiled at me, I knew that he wanted to marry me." When we get married, the third sister will come to drink the wedding wine. ”
There are lights and candles lit in the examination room, the wind blows in, and the candles are blown swaying, under the flickering candlelight, Tao Jianzhi, who has a long face, seems to be the five halls of Yama, and the candidates are ghosts. The exam was in the morning, and Fan Jin took advantage of the time to lay his head on the table and take a nap first.
Half-asleep, he was dreaming that everyone came to congratulate him, he grabbed Liang Pandi to kiss, but suddenly heard a thunderclap, which shattered all his dreams. When he sat up smartly, he heard rolling thunder one after another, and the raindrops fell on the roof of the school, like bursting beans, and it really rained.
I don't know if the third sister brought an umbrella? According to her temperament, maybe she will buy dozens of umbrellas and sell them outside the examination room, because she is in the food business, she now has face in the provincial capital, and she can lend some umbrellas without money. Some of this business is profitable.
Until the drum sounded, Fan Jin's mind was still immersed in these things, and he sent someone to hold up a wooden sign and write the questions of the government examination on it. Like the county exam, the government exam is also two questions and four book questions, and the scriptures and meanings are not examined. After seeing the question clearly, Fan Jin was happy in his heart: This is really God's help, but it's a pity that this good luck shouldn't be used here, it is better to keep it for the big exam in the future.
The reason for his joy is very simple, he has done all these two questions during the special training in Hou Zhi County, and he has memorized the manuscript very clearly. According to Hou Zhixian's reform, as long as it is written like this, not to say that he is a showman, even if he is a person, it is also easy to get it, and this fame is in vain.
The thunder and rain were urgent, and occasionally the sound of the people crying, through the heavy encirclement, was sent into the school. In the examination room, no one cared about those, and there were only two words left in everyone's hearts: fame.
