Seven or eight stars outside the sky, two or three points of rain in front of the mountain. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info on the mountainside, a young woman is dragging her chin, looking at the starry sky in the south of the Yangtze River blankly, a little starry outline a very serious smile, she tried hard to wave this person's face, but found that this smile has been deeply seared into the heart, lingering.

After a while, a middle-aged man appeared behind her, he held a cloak in his hand, looked at the girl's back, shook his head and sighed and walked over, quietly put the cloak on her and said: "Let Er go back to Taixing's hometown, but you don't want to, you have to follow your father to this wilderness to suffer, damn, it's been three months, and I haven't even seen a person who can speak Chinese, this ghost place!" ”

"Dad, it's good here, quiet, quiet, the mountains are good, the water is good." She felt that she was no longer worthy of the bad guy, and only Zhongluo could experience the bitterness, and the self-confidence that was originally supported by wealth was so vulnerable.

To be confident, start with your heart, Li Ziqi glanced up at Jiangnan, and then followed Li Bi towards the dilapidated post station.

Jiangnan and Hangzhou Mansions, the streets are bustling, all the scholars wearing square scarves and long Confucian shirts, and they can hear words like that everywhere.

Early in the morning, in front of the Shopee Bun Shopee: Can you sell my three bags?

At noon, in front of the wine shop: Brother Chen regards noon as a knowledge, don't drink too much!

In the evening, inside the house: can there be free time too?

Approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, some people held a book in their left hand, looked up at the sky behind their right hand, and held back a sentence for a long time: "Ask the wine to Qingtian, what year is it tonight?" ”

What's even more exaggerated is that someone next to him actually high-fived and said, "What a poem by Li Bai and Li Zimei!" ”

Approaching the autumn season, although it has been eliminated after the small examination, there are still more than 1,000 candidates in the autumn festival, and Hangzhou is overcrowded for a while.

Absorbing the experience of the hospital examination, this time Chen Yuke rented a mansion in Hangzhou Mansion early, and the location was not far from the Gongyuan.

Of course, Chen Yu is not the only smart person, when he lived in the mansion, he found that Xie Yizhong and Dong Wenyu had also moved in early.

The township examination is the first step for officials and the cornerstone of middle and lower-level officials in the Ming Dynasty, so this examination is very important to Chen Yu.

In the past few months before the exam, Chen Yu basically stayed in Chen's Mansion and rarely went out, during which he had read the "Four Books and Five Classics" and Mao Cheng and other scholars of the Hanlin Academy many times. Even so, at this time, he was still extremely nervous.

He even pondered all the township test procedures in his mind over and over again.

The township test is divided into three sessions, each lasting three days, the first session is from August 9 to 12, the second session is from November to August 12 to 15, and the third session is from the 15th to the 18th.

Two days before the start of the exam, the candidates should be checked to see if there are impersonations, household registration does not match, whether the three generations are good citizens, etc., this series of verification is not over, but also to number the candidates, write a certain line, a certain number, a certain number of candidates, and post the candidate's name outside the room, unveiling the list to show everyone.

In principle, there will be no such situation as no seats in the hospital exam, but Chen Yu knows that you don't know how much time it will take to enter the number room, so there is still a little psychological advantage in going first!

There are one or two chief examiners for the township examination, and the chief examiners of the provinces of North and South Zhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Huguang and other provinces choose to serve as the chief examiners of the Hanlin Academy, the editor, the reviewer, etc., the deputy chief examiner is played by the horse washer, etc., and the other provinces use six subordinate officials and six subjects to act as the middle of the matter.

The tasks and responsibilities of the examiner are very important, they need to preside over the examination of a province, and they are also responsible for formulating the test questions, reviewing the candidates' answer sheets, and deciding the candidates' rankings and admissions.

This test question is okay, but the task of examining the candidates' answer sheets is very heavy, you know, there are more than 1,000 candidates in this province, and there are even more than 2,000 people, the first seven arts, "Analects", "University", "The Mean", "Mencius", divided into three, each not less than 200 words, "Five Classics" four, each not less than 300 words.

In the second scene, one is a sentence of righteousness, five sentences, and one edict, edict, and table, with no less than 300 words.

In the third scene, there are no less than 300 words in the five policies of the history and current affairs.

At this time, there is no punctuation, and the "out of context" all depends on the eyes of the examiner, not to mention anything else, just this one candidate, how many words can be imagined after three games.

It's okay if you have plenty of time to mark the papers, but the court has decided that before the end of August, the list must be unveiled and announced, which shows the weight of the task on the examiner.

In addition, the imperial court also has the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy to "grind", the main thing is to review whether there are any mistakes in these test papers, the meaning of the sentences is not clear, etc., if there is a mistake, the examiner will be severely punished.

There is also Emperor Taizu who has set a "pragmatic search for talents", if some crooked melons and cracked dates are selected and lose the face of the country, then you, the chief examiner, will also come to an end!

Although the task is heavy and it seems difficult to complete, it doesn't matter, these officialdom people know everything about what has been passed down hundreds of years ago, and this kind of thing is "default".

What is the key to taking by default and not taking? The answer has already been said in the college exam, four books and five classics!

Of course, it is impossible to complete an exam with only two examiners and six examiners.

These examiners are composed of Fu Yin, Fu Cheng, professors, Xuezheng, teaching, discipline and others, and their responsibilities are to assist the examiner in the examination questions, as well as to mark the papers in advance, give instructions to take or not, and write down the reasons, before sending them to the examiner, the examiner also gives instructions to take or not, and then writes down the reasons for taking.

In addition, two inspectors will be transferred to inspect the discipline of the examination room.

Before the examination, there is a printing officer, the batch printing of the test papers, generally composed of a general judgment, pushing the official, when the issuance of the paper officer, generally composed of a government experience, washing horses, after the examination there is a seal of the official will seal the volume, there are two counties in the prefecture of the county officials, after receiving it can not use this test paper to hand over to the same examiner, because the font is very easy to recognize, in order to prevent cheating, will also arrange two county transcriptions, called the transcription officer, after which there is a complete examination officer system for the reading officer, the search officer, the supply officer, etc.

If you carefully study the arrangement of this official, you will find that this is very, very humane, at least on the surface, it is all kinds of fairness!

In the situation of these exams, Chen Yu has formed a complete idea in his mind, so that he can maintain his composure in various situations.

Before the exam, Chen Dafu equipped Chen Yu with an exquisite oven, which was divided into four layers, and the first of which contained test paper, pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things. The lower layers are stuffed with food for Chen Yu.

On August 8th, Chen Yu had insomnia all night, and got up early in the morning of the second day to pack up the items such as the examination and examination, and the sky was full of stars, Chen Yu walked towards the Hangzhou Fugong Courtyard with the oven, but who knew that as soon as he went out, he was stopped by Xie Yizhong and Dong Wenyu behind him.

"Senior Brother Chen so early?" Dong Wenyu asked suspiciously, the blood-red eyes clearly told Chen Yu that he was another guy who had not slept all night.

Chen Yu smiled shyly, and he said, "I'm nervous, I didn't sleep last night, so I'll go to the examination room." ”

Dong Wenyu and Xie Yizhong also smiled shyly and said, "It seems that not only have I stayed awake all night, but it turns out that Senior Brother Chen will be the same." ”

"In that case, let me go together!" Chen Yu said that, and walked with Xie Yizhong and Dong Wenyu to the tribute courtyard.

When they left the mansion, they found that there were already groups of Confucian students shuttling in pairs on the street, and the three of them couldn't help but smile similarly: "The willow tops on the moon, people are about five watches later!" ”

When the three of them arrived at the front of the Tribute Courtyard, they found that there were already people queuing at the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, the queue was not long, but it was not short, and the three of them also hurriedly went over to line up, Xie Yizhong was in the front, Chen Yu was in the middle, and Dong Wenyu was in the back.

After waiting for a long time, this naughty weather seems to be joking with the exams, that is, it is not dawn, for a while, the team is full of hazing, this kind of thing has a chain effect, if two sleepy people stand together, one of them should be the first to fight, and the other person may also be beaten. There are more than 1,000 people here! Not to mention how spectacular it was.

Finally, the door of the Yongdao was opened, and the examinees breathed a sigh of relief, and they stripped and entered the Yongdao one by one. Of course, so many red-striped men did not go in to make a foundation, but waited for the search and inspection to enter by name, and these officials were also called external liaison officers.

Fortunately, the weather is not too cold in this autumn season, if it is spring, think about it, Chen Yu's whole body is trembling.

"Senior Brother Chen, is this cold?" Dong Wenyu leaned forward and asked.

"Don't come here!" Chen Yu hurriedly shouted, he was really afraid that someone would push him from behind, and if he didn't want to do it at that time, he would have to do it!

The imperial examination is really not easy! Chen Yu let out a cry from the heart.

Before each exam, when the candidates enter the examination room, they should be searched one by one, and the candidates are not allowed to bring a piece of paper into the venue without permission except for carrying answer paper, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and food.

Even so, there is still an endless stream of cheaters, and this time Chen Yu finally knows the greatness of this cheating tradition, and the scholar in front of him who shook his head was kicked out, but because he was carrying paper between his hips.

This kind of disgusting thing can also be thought of, Chen Yu has to secretly admire the intelligence of that guy's mind!

This investigator is generally played by military attachés, and these military attaches are usually inferior to civil officials, and there are not many opportunities to humiliate these noble civil officials in their lives, so how can they not be bullied this time? Besides, maybe which one wins the champion in the future, these people can still boast about it, thinking of the champion Lang and the old man, who were destroyed by the old man's hot hands......

Finally it was Chen Yu's turn, and the investigator said coldly: "Hand him the clothes!" ”

Chen Yu obediently handed the clothes to another investigator on the side, and the investigator began to turn them up, and then came to search the examination box, and after the investigation was completed, the detective took the bamboo strip in his hand and tossed it in Chen Yu's hidden holes......
