Lin Yuzhi was excited, apprehensive, anxious, and uneasy, but all this was about to end, because the day of the township test had arrived. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

August 19 is a day worth remembering for students.

Compared with the general examination, the difficulty of the township examination will be relatively greater, the number of candidates participating is larger, the competition is more intense, and the pressure is greater, which is a difficult hurdle to overcome.

After passing the township examination, it is called Juren, and Juren is actually an alternate official, so he is qualified to be an official. According to the regulations of the imperial examination system of this dynasty, people can register with the Ministry of Officials, obtain a certain official position, and become a county official or county magistrate, but there are very few such official positions. But for the staff, masters, and low-level official positions, the vacancies can still be filled.

Being able to lift is equivalent to soaring among readers.

The Eight Strands not only imprison people's minds, but also inhibit the development of science and culture, and do great harm.

But the long-term system of selecting and promoting talents inherited from feudal society, Lin Yuzhi has no way to question it, and he has no ability to change now. You have to adapt to it and rely on it.

Shuntianfu Township tries to be in the southeast corner of the capital in Chongwen Gate. Shuntianfu Beijing Gongyuan is also the place where the examination is held, hang the "Gongyuan" ink plaque in the middle of the gate, build "Ming Jing to take scholars", "for the country to seek talents" two arches on the east and west sides of the gate.

Outside the gate is the east and west gates, and the gate is divided into three gates: middle, left and right. In front of the gate, there is a "Tiankai Wenyun" archway.

The main and deputy examiners of this year's Shuntianfu Township Examination are all hand-picked by Emperor Rongjing. The chief examiner is Gao Jiwen, a university scholar, and the deputy examiner is Zhu Yancheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

The day before the exam, Lin Yuzhi carefully inspected the prepared long-eared test basket, which contained pen and ink, snacks, and red candles. Before dawn, Lin Yuzhi got up, had breakfast, wore a blue shirt, carried an examination basket, took eleven and thirteen, and walked towards the Shuntian Mansion Tribute Courtyard with a little seriousness. The first game is the main game, which is crucial.

A large number of students gathered early in front of the Gongyuan.

Ten years of cold and bitter windows, once jumped into the dragon gate.

Ten years of cold windows no one knows, once famous all over the world.

Whether students who have studied hard for many years can be added to the rank and knight, and the carp can jump over the dragon gate, depends on this time.

Lin Yuzhi looked at the students waiting in line to enter, in such an exam where thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, it was not easy to succeed. In each township examination, there are thousands or even tens of thousands of participants, but only more than 100 are finally admitted.

The Gongyuan was in good order, with officials from the Shuntian Mansion maintaining order, and officials from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division patrolling back and forth to prevent lawbreakers from mixing in and disrupting the order of the examination. They did these things very skillfully, and they all followed the old system.

As for how to enter the examination room in groups, the Ministry of Rites has long posted a public notice, in the order of registering ancestral homes. Each group will erect a sign in front of the Gongyuan to guide the students to wait in line according to the regulations.

It is strictly forbidden to make noise in front of the tribute courtyard, and Yin Lufugui of Shuntian Mansion nodded with satisfaction. Now that he is registered in front of the emperor, he needs to be more careful in his actions, and he can't go on business trips anymore.

Before dawn, the examiner takes a roll call. Candidates enter the room, according to the number of seats, and sit in the examination booth.

The invigilation in the Gongyuan is very strict, and when the candidates enter the Gongyuan, they must be strictly searched to prevent the candidates from hiding "entrainment" on their bodies.

Lin Yuzhi was carefully inspected, not to carry a note, to wear a single layer of clothes, and to cut the food, before he was allowed to enter the examination shed.

The examination shed, also known as the "No. room", is one by one, as a "examination room" and "dormitory" for candidates to answer the questionnaire and eat and stay in the Gongyuan. The imperial examination is a single room for each candidate. When candidates enter the examination booth, they must lock the door. During the test, the candidates were not allowed to come out until the end of the test.

The room is very narrow, with only two planks on the top, the upper board is used as a table for writing the answer sheet, and the lower board is used as a chair, and the two boards are used as a bed when sleeping at night. There is also a charcoal fire and a candle for the candidates in the examination shed. Charcoal fires can be used both for heating and cooking. Candidates are isolated from the outside world during the exam, and they have to solve the problem of eating by themselves. The invigilator only cares about cheating in the exam, and the invigilator does not ask about the other actions of the candidates in the number room.

The township test is divided into three sessions, each of which lasts for three days, and all three need to enter the examination room one day in advance and appear one day after the exam.

Such a regulation is very painful for Lin Yuzhi, because to stay here for nine days, eating and living in this small space, thinking about it is an inhuman treatment, a perverted horror. Lin Yuzhi only hated that he couldn't redeem Bigu Dan in the system now, and he didn't have to eat for a few days.

Lin Mansion, Mrs. Lin's yard, inside the main house

Today, the eldest wife Sun, the second wife Wang, and the third wife Sun, led a group of young ladies to sit around the old lady. Standing next to him were Lin Muzhi's wife's eldest young grandmother Wang, and Lin Qingzhi's wife's second young grandmother Li.

The second young lady Lin Mengfan, the third young lady Lin Mengru, the fourth young lady Lin Mengyan, and the fourth young master Lin Yuzhi and the fifth young master Lin Fengzhi all sat on both sides.

The eldest young grandmother, Wang, said with a smile, "This big competition, our Lin Mansion eldest young master and third young master participated, which is really a gratifying and congratulatory event. ”

"Amitabha, Buddha bless!" The old lady folded her hands in prayer. I hope that these two grandsons can be admitted, and the grandson and grandson are very different from each other. Although he values his grandson more and loves his eldest grandson more, this grandson's talent is very famous in the capital, and even his son has mentioned his good knowledge many times.

"Qingzhi has been studying hard in the past few years, and there will definitely be good news in this department." The second wife also silently prayed in her heart, hoping that her son Jinke could overwhelm the concubine and raise people in high school.

"The big brother is so good at learning, he can definitely pass the exam, I believe in the big brother. Mother just waited for the good news. I could see the nervousness of the second wife, and Lin Mengru came to have fun.

Li stood quietly behind the second wife, and the apprehension and nervousness in his heart could not be clearly expressed, which would make people feel that they had no confidence in their husband.

"Listen to our master, the eldest young master's knowledge is not as good as the third young master! Oops, I didn't pass the exam last time, and I don't know if I can do it this time! "The second room has now pressed the big house, and now the second room is the concubine at the same time, and if you don't provoke them to cause trouble, the people in this big house really have no status in the house.

When the second wife and Li heard this, their straight chests rose and fell and they were depressed, who listened to this now?
