Chapter II: Imperial Examinations

Five days later, Xiao Jin's father died.

Although they have only been together for half a month, Qiu Tongmian is still very sad.

Xiao Jin lost his mother when he was a child, and his father raised him single-handedly, and he studied hard for ten years.

Just to be able to raise people in high school, complete the old father's long-cherished wish, gain fame in the examination, and shine on the lintel!

The simple mourning hall was built in front of the courtyard outside the house, in front of a thin coffin, Qiu Tongmian wore filial piety clothes and knelt down to mourn the villagers.

Xiao Jin and his father are famous because of their merits, and they are familiar with poetry and books and the Five Classics, and they are still somewhat popular in this radius of several miles. So there are a lot of people who come to mourn the villagers.

A sturdy young man, squeezing through the crowd of people kneeling in front of him, walked towards Qiu Tongmian, squatted down and patted him on the shoulder

"Ah Jin, don't be overly sad, uncle's illness is also strange and tormenting, it is a blessing to leave, and the province is suffering from inhuman torture."

In the crowd, an elderly man Xu heard the words of the sturdy man, and nodded in agreement, letting go of the villagers who came over.

Pulled up Qiu Tongmian and said, "Your father's illness, a disease has been more than ten years, many years of torture, I think this is unbearable to go first, a month ago I heard that Li Zheng brought the news, saying that it was Yang Xuezheng who brought the words, so that you must review your homework and prepare for next year's exam." “

Before he finished speaking, a person standing behind him said, "Yes, Yang Xuezheng is very kind to you, this year is his last year, he hopes that you can go back to the capital with him next year, and there will be a good care on the way."

The words stopped, and the people around him politely bowed their hands to the comer, "Lizheng." ”

Qiu Tongmian looked at him, it turned out that this was the village chief, and he hurriedly bowed down to thank him.

Li Zheng held Qiu Tongmian with both hands and encouraged, "You are the only person in our Huizhou Mansion who lifts it, and you must win glory for our Huizhou."

Even if you can't get into the rank of scholar, you can still be appointed as a local official through the ministry, and you will have to rely on the good nephews and good students to take care of your hometown in the coming year."

After Qiu Tongmian heard it, he also knew that he didn't blame Li Zheng for comforting him, not to mention that he himself knew that Xiao Jin at this time was not the talented Xiao Jin.

The fame of a person alone, according to the understanding of hatred and cotton, is not something that ordinary people can obtain.

Especially in the Qing Dynasty, the main body of the Qing Dynasty was the Manchus, so in the imperial examination, the Manchus had the advantage of being much larger than the Han people, and only one lesson in translation was required.

To rely on the fame of people, first of all, you have to have the qualification of a child, and after obtaining the qualification of a child, you have to go through the county test, the government test, and the hospital test.

Considering the economic situation of the family, you have to study hard for ten years, and after obtaining the first three exams, you will be a talent at this time, and then you will go to the back, after the annual examination, the scientific examination.

The scientific examination is a pre-selection examination for the township examination, which is conducted in the second year after Xuezheng takes office. The results are divided into three classes, and the top 10 in the first, second and third class provinces and the top five in small and medium-sized provinces are allowed to take the township examination.

It is this level, but it has ruined the shadow of many people's lives, and they have not been able to go further. In the Qing Dynasty, the selection of people through the township examination was to take the meaning of the ancient "township examination".

The phrase "Xiangju" is found in the "Zhou Li". After passing the township examination, it is the master of the people, as the previous Li Zheng said, if the examination fails to get a good result, the Jinshi and the first, you can also appoint officials through the Ministry of Officials, and embark on a career as an official.

After listening to this, Qiu Tongmian replied, "If you are right, Ah Jin must always remember that Yang Xuezheng's kindness to me for cultivation must not be forgotten, and he will not live up to the expectations of the villagers."

He shook his hand at the crowd around him.

Qiu Tongmian was also very surprised by his own attitude, these red tape etiquettes seemed to be learned suddenly.

Although I don't know these villagers, the look of love and expectation in my eyes is really not fake, and it is also a true expression, and it also touches the stranger Qiu Tongmian.

Qiu Tongmian then spoke, "After I take care of my old father's funeral, I will review my homework well to prepare for next year's spring boudoir, please bring a message to my nephew to Yang Xuezheng, when to leave, I must inform me to go to Beijing together."

Li looked at Qiu Tongmian's posture, and was also very satisfied, clapping his hands and saying, "Virtuous nephew, please rest assured, you don't have to say this, your uncle will definitely help you inform you, please relax, keep filial piety, and review your homework with peace of mind."

Those who are familiar with the surrounding relationship, seeing that Li is finished speaking, he also hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, all kinds of comforting words, don't bother him, and Qiu Tongmian is all thanking him one by one.

After more than a month, after Xiao Jin's father was buried,

Qiu Tongmian studied the mobile phone in the room, and since he accepted the task that day, there has been no change, no prompt, and no change in the achievement number, it seems that he still has to explore a little bit by himself.

When I think of the task of mobile phones, if I try to rank next year, I may have completed the task.

According to the literal meaning of the task, it is not difficult to understand that personal achievements are not their own achievements and achievements. It's just that this value of 3000 is really difficult to judge, and there is no basis.

It's annoying to think about it, Qiu Tongmian didn't think about giving up the imperial examination, according to his meaning, he can grasp the brush and write his name, which is already very good.

I started learning when I was such an adult, and I am afraid that there is no hope in this life. You must know that after the examination, the re-examination, the palace examination, and the court examination all attach importance to the regular method, and it is difficult for those who are not good at calligraphy to get the best grades.

But if he gives up the imperial examination, not to mention the task, just how can he survive in this era?

Miraculously traveled to this era, are you willing to spend your life in this township and accompany the dealer in the field?

What's more, in this era, without its own strength and capital, how can it survive.

Xu is a good citizen who is obedient and obedient, and he may be able to survive for a lifetime, but if there is a lot of dissatisfaction, he may fall to the ground.

Thinking of what many villagers said to themselves that day, I looked down at the task on my phone, and the black crossing pattern, it seems that it will not work if I don't try.

If you can't pass the calculation test, you can also be an official as a person, or you can plan it. It's better than being in the countryside.

Since that day, Qiu Tongmian has been practicing calligraphy all day long, thanks to the help of the mobile phone, the intelligent system in the mobile phone, like an encyclopedia, as long as Qiu Tongmian wants any information, a little in his mind, the mobile phone will inform him of the content of the information.

This is also Qiu Tongmian inadvertently discovered one day, in addition to sighing magically, he is also full of confidence in his next year's test.

After months of practice, Qiu Tongmian has been able to write hand-readable fonts proficiently under the guidance of his mobile phone, and Qiu Tongmian himself can't believe it.

Perhaps, in the dark, the original owner of this body, Xiao Jin, also has his share of credit.

Time flies, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Qiu Tongmian went to the city, but Zhengli sent someone to pass the word, saying that Yang Xuezheng had an accidental cold and failed to do well, and he was afraid that he would not be able to go on the road in the winter moon, so he could only go on the road in advance.

At this time, the traffic is inconvenient, from Huizhou to Beijing, I am afraid that there is no more than a month to arrive, plus various emergencies.

After getting the news, he came to Huizhou Mansion because Qiu Tongmian did not have the memory of Xiao Jin, so there were a lot of jokes on the road, and he rushed to the wrong road several times, and also lamented all kinds of inconveniences in ancient times.

Because of money, Qiu Tongmian had no additional economic income, and used the little travel money left by his old father before leaving.

I thought it should be enough, but Qiu Tongmian had no intuitive understanding of the prices at this time, and it was also related to the discrepancies in historical data.

After Qiu Tongmian arrived at Huizhou Mansion, he was already penniless, and he was going to buy some gifts to visit Yang Xuezheng's house.

Qiu Tongmian was at a loss, and he was in no mood to look at the scenery on the street.

Later generations have also been to the ancient city of Huizhou, and there is nothing unusual about the Huizhou architecture, and the deepest impression is the garbage, feces and sewage on the streets.

At this time, the main means of transportation and transportation were horses and donkeys, so feces could be seen everywhere on the road. This drainage system is afraid that it is not enough, Huizhou belongs to the south, to the autumn soon, there is a lot of rain, this face, Qiu Tongmian has a deep memory.

asked passers-by and inquired about Yang Xuezheng's residence, which was in the Gongyuan Courtyard.

The examination room of the Qing Dynasty was called the Tribute Academy. Gongyuan is in the southeast corner of Huizhou Mansion, there is a memorial arch of "Tiankai Wenyun" in front of the gate, the gate of Gongyuan is hung in the middle of the "Gongyuan" ink plaque, the east and west of the gate establish two squares, respectively, the book "Ming Jing takes scholars" and "seeks talents for the country".

Outside the gate of the Gongyuan is the east and west two gates, and the gate is divided into three gates: middle, left and right. After entering the gate, it is the dragon gate, and there are four doors in the door. After listening to the gushing of passers-by, Qiu Tongmian knew that this should be easy to find, find the right direction, and see the archway.

Qiu Tongmian held his hungry belly, scurrying alley after alley, after turning into this alley, he didn't find the avenue, and he was almost bitten by the dog in the house.

The dark road is unlucky, stumbling to the front of a spacious house, only to see the door hanging in the middle of the "Xue Mansion", Qiu Tongmian's eyes lit up, it is rare that this is my future father-in-law's family, this luck is afraid that no one.

walked to the lion squatting, looked at this Xue Mansion, and heard that the old man said that his in-laws were the richest people in the city, and he was afraid that he was right.

This mansion, overlooking the back door a mile away, is afraid that it covers an area of five or six thousand square meters.

Qiu Tongmian was happy, he knew better than anyone else in his heart that no matter whether Xue Fu recognized this family affair or not, he didn't care, the most important thing was that he could solve the current urgency of not having money and solve the current urgent need.

Thinking of this, hummed, hehe, whatever, first solve the problem of food and clothing, and then rely on a sum of money, think about it, the son-in-law went to Beijing to catch the exam, and he wanted to support the point, if he didn't recognize this family, it would be better, and he would be better than the lucrative hush money, let's go.

Qiu Tongmian stepped forward to call the guard in front of the door, and the guard did see him before Qiu Tongmian, and he saw a lewd and down-and-out scholar muttering there from afar, and it was difficult not to pay attention.

Seeing Qiu Tongmian stepping forward, and seeing the sewage waste under Qiu Tongmian's group of cotton clothes, he hurriedly went down the steps to stop him, and asked, "Hey, this big brother stops, who are you?" “
