May of the 17th year of Hongji. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This day is a very ordinary day in the Ming Dynasty, and on this day, the Ming Dynasty, as in the past, is quietly spending.

A lot of things may have happened in various places, and in the imperial court, this day is the death of Emperor Renzongzhao. Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry, replied to the disaster and begged for the official, but he was not allowed. In the surrounding area, people of various ethnic groups came to pay tribute.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Chen Yu, but the next appointment has a lot to do with Chen Yu, not only Chen Yu, but even the entire Zhejiang students.

Chen Yu was promoted to the deputy envoy of the Zhejiang Inspectorate and transferred to the school.

There are four main responsibilities, one of which is the entrance examination for students in a prefecture, state, and county. The second is to divide the candidates into good and bad grades in the school for scientific examination. The third is to organize a provincial hospital examination.

So such a person is simply a king of heaven for all students!

Chen Yu, a native of Linyi, a Jinshi in Chenghua, is impartial and upright (pay attention to this character), not afraid of power, loves to make poetry, and once observed the people's feelings during the supervision of the imperial history, and made a "Ballad of the Cable Husband".

Towards the flow of the stream,

Twilight from the countercurrent.

When the official ship does not stop,

Wind and rain come and go.

There is a riser around the waist,

Grass drinks to make up for a salary......

With such a person to promote the school, there will undoubtedly be no unfairness, cheating, etc., so in a certain aspect, it is a good thing for Chen Yu.

God favored Chen Yu, he didn't know that Chen Yu would give him a very big surprise!

At this time, the college examination is divided into two kinds, the first is the "hanging examination", this method has been formed in the orthodox years, to the Hongzhi period prevailed, the specific meaning is that a province is promoted to the official residence of the city, and the surrounding students are sent to the city after the pre-selection of the county and the state, and the unified competition.

The second is the "class examination", but it has become less popular in the later period of Hongzhi, that is, the promotion of adults to run between the prefectures to hold the hospital examination, first, this method is more wasteful, and secondly, the time spent is too long, so the "hanging examination" has gradually become the mainstream evaluation method of the college examination.

Of course, in the later period of Zhengde, and even Jiajing will also hold a "legacy talent" test, which will not be expressed here.

On the fourth watch of the second day, Chen Yu got up, and this night he slept for two hours with difficulty.

Since Qiantang is close to Hangzhou Mansion, and this time the evaluation of each prefecture is on the Xuan Street of the Political Envoy of Hangzhou Prefecture, Chen Yu is not in a hurry.

It is not good for the students in other prefectures, they have arrived in Hangzhou one after another yesterday, and even farther away, they have arrived the day before yesterday.

There were as many as 2,000 people in this exam, and the inns in the entire Hangzhou Mansion were already full, even the wine shops and inns in Qiantang County.

Therefore, Chen Yu originally planned to go to Jianxuan Street on the fifth watch, but he was afraid that there would be many people and the road would be blocked.

After reading the hour, the time was still early, and the black lights outside were blind, and it was impossible for anyone to walk at this hour, so Chen Yu planned to review the four books and the scriptures for a while.

Not long after the lights were lit, there was a burst of light footsteps.

"Ugly student, do you get up so early? Father fetched you a little hot water and washed your face. Chen Dafu carried the copper basin into Chen Yu's study, and the copper basin was steaming.

Chen Yu hurriedly took the copper basin in Chen Dafu's hand, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The child is not filial, how dare he bother his father to personally bring water for the child?" ”

Chen Dafu looked at Chen Yu who was kneeling on the ground, he didn't know if it was the mist on the hot water in his eyes, or something else, he took the copper basin from Chen Yu's hand again, turned around and put down the copper basin, and scolded: "Get up!" Such a big person, Lao Tzu served you less when he was a child? How? Disgusted now? ”

Chen Yu knew that Chen Dafu didn't mean this, so he quickly got up with a smile and said, "Daddy, why don't you sleep for a while?" ”

"You have an exam today, where did you sleep for your father?" Chen Dafu sighed and said: "Just do your best, don't have too much pressure, my father used to nag you a lot, so that you have to be lifted, you must be a jinshi, and I must give you a lot of pressure." ”

"Actually, the father doesn't care so much, as long as you can be safe."

"Dad, don't be sensational at this time, I'll be moved." Chen Yu also wiped the tears in her eyes, remembering how difficult it is for a man to be a father and a mother to pull himself up!

"Stinky boy, it's good to know how to joke, you've changed." Chen Dafu said: "In the past, I saw you study and become obsessed, and I didn't know how worried my father was, but now I see you becoming more and more cheerful, and I am really happy for my father, thank you Guanyin Bodhisattva." As he spoke, he bowed reverently with his hands.

It's just that the direction is facing the north, which makes Chen Yu laugh.

"Wash your face quickly, it'll be cold immediately!" Chen Dafu took the towel in the copper basin, wrung it out and wiped it for Chen Yu, this kind of scene, Chen Yu also tried it once upon a time. Different circumstances, but the same touch.

"Be careful on the road for a while, don't join in the fun for your father, I wish you success!"

After Chen Dafu left, Chen Yu wanted to continue reading the book, but he didn't expect that as soon as he left on his front foot, Zhu Shou came in.

"Chen Yu, you're going to take the exam? Come on, you must pass the test. Zhu Shou said very seriously: "I wanted to accompany you, but Liu Gong said that there were many people and miscellaneous, so he said that he wouldn't let me go." ”

"He's right, what are you going to do, you have to take the exam for a day, and it's not fun." Chen Yu said with a smile.

Each exam is limited to one day, and the papers are handed in at dusk, if they are not completed, the officials will be given three candles, and they must leave the venue after the candles are extinguished.

"I knew he was going to get in my way, so I bought the anesthetic, and he didn't think he would wake up until tomorrow." Zhu Shou said innocently.

"Day! Oh, you're doing a great job. Chen Yu felt deeply worried about that Liu Gong, according to the character of this little ancestor, I don't know how many sins Liu Gong has endured, and in the future... Have a good time.

"It's finally the turn of the excitement, I don't want to stay at home stupidly, I'm going to take a look!" Zhu Shou smiled and said, "The hour is almost up, let's go." ”

Chen Yu looked at the sky, the east had already revealed the white of the fish belly, although the sight was still not good at the moment, but the shadows of the trees and the road could already be faintly seen.

Chen Yu nodded, and he said to Zhu Shou: "There are a lot of people today, and there must be some petty theft on the road, do you want to be a little longer?" ”

"Don't worry, whoever dares to steal me, I'll kill him!" Zhu Shou said viciously.

After saying that, it was already five watches, Chen Yu reluctantly took the examination box and walked towards Xuan Street, the political envoy, with Zhu Shou.

Soon after I went out, I could see a faint group of people on the road, and the place where I lived was already a bit remote, I didn't expect that there were so many people here, and I didn't know what kind of grand occasion the examination room would be!

Along the way, all the wharves of the Qiantang River were full of figures, all of them were wearing Confucian shirts and scarves of Pingding Sifang, and they didn't need to look to know that these were all students who went to Hangzhou to take the exam.

The closer they got to Hangzhou Mansion, the more people there were, and by the time they arrived at Jianxuan Street, Chen Yu and Zhu Shou were already very embarrassed.

On the day of the fifth watch, all the surroundings were blurry, but there were a few bright lights near the examination shed on Jianxuan Street, and when I looked up, I realized that the light source was emitted by a lantern.

Because there are too many students in each prefecture, and the entrance examination is based on the prefecture, in order to gather the students effectively and quickly, the academic administration of each prefecture has come up with such a method, and the name of each prefecture will be written on each lantern.

In fact, in previous years, the students of various provinces would not gather students from various provinces to take the exam in one day, because the small test is very arbitrary, and it can often be divided into several months, as long as it can be completed before the township exam.

This year, due to the temporary appointment of the University Minister, in order to save trouble, the various prefectures were held on this day, and the number of people can be imagined.

Chen Yu and Zhu Shoumo vaguely saw the lanterns of Hangzhou Mansion, and the two of them squeezed over there with difficulty, and when they arrived at the place, they found that Xuezheng was already sending the students in, Chen Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately they caught up.

It stands to reason that the order of entry is inconclusive, and the randomness is very large, but Chen Yu did not expect that Hangzhou Mansion would be the first to enter.

Due to the large number of people, the examination seats are naturally insufficient, and those candidates who come in later do not even have the examination booth, so they can only add seats outdoors at zero o'clock, and if they encounter rainy weather, they can only consider themselves unlucky, so it is very advantageous to enter first.

The competition of the small test is not compared with the township test, everyone has a fixed number room, and the selection of seats for the small test is very arbitrary, and you can choose a good test seat when you enter first.

When Chen Yu was about to go in, he found two acquaintances, and Li Wuzheng looked at him proudly, patted Chen Yu's shoulder and said, "You kid is lucky, I spent money to let you get clean!" ”

Chen Yu knew, it turned out that Hangzhou Mansion was not lucky, but wealthy, so that he could catch up with this first entry.

Chen Yuyang pretended to smile gratefully, and said in his heart: "I think you did it on purpose, and seeing that I was not there, I took this opportunity to enter the scene first!" ”

Chen Yu saw Li Ziqi next to Li Wu again, and glanced at it casually, but found that there was a red rope hanging around her neck, and she wanted to follow the rope down to see if it was the piece of Lantian jade she sent, but she kept staring at her chest.

"How?" When Li Wu saw that Chen Yu didn't speak, he thought he was grateful to himself.

"Great!" Chen Yu said: "Ah, no, thank you Senior Li." ”

But Chen Yu's action did not escape Li Ziqi's eyes, since she saw Chen Yu, her little heart kept beating, the more she looked at Chen Yu, the more shy she became, she still wanted to bless Chen Yu, but she didn't expect it...... This color embryo!

She glared at Chen Yu fiercely and said angrily, "I hope you will never be able to go to high school!" ”

After saying that, I felt that my sentence was too heavy, and added another sentence in my heart: "It's good if you can't be a big official in the future, it's better to be in high school......

Seeing that the hour was almost up, all the students in Hangzhou Mansion were about to enter, and the little officials had already begun to urge, so Chen Yu entered the examination room with Li Wu.

When he left, Chen Yu seemed to think of something, he turned back to Zhu Shou and said, "Watch the little lady closely, don't be rubbed with oil by others." ”

"What is oil?" Zhu Shou touched his head.

"Oh, Miss Li knows." Chen Yu looked at Li Ziqi's chest, smiled again, and turned his head into the examination room despite Li Ziqi's anger.

"Chen Tingyu, you are a ...... Colored embryos! Li Ziqi was furious.

Only Zhu Shou, the second monk couldn't figure his head, looked at Li Ziqi, who was inexplicably angry, shook his head, and said to himself: "What does this oil mean?" Didn't Chen Yu rub oil on her just now? ”

Zhu Shou asked very curiously, "Sister Li, what does this oil mean?" ”

"Get out!"
