Chapter 39: Township Examination (II)
On August 15, Chen Yu waited for a long time to enter the examination room like the first one, but with the experience of the first one, this time it was much easier. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
There was no so-called insomnia last night, and now his mental state is very full, although the answer to the "Book of Shang" in the last "Book of Books" in the first game is slightly unsatisfactory, but Chen Yu still reluctantly answered, and now he also has the confidence of the Shaoxing Shen fat man, if nothing else, this science will be successful!
Without the ideological pressure, the answer to the question is very fast, a "treatise" in the "three saints to teach each other", an edict to the internal department of the internal department of the "Han Dynasty in addition to the land rent tax", "to the Tang Dynasty to Song Xuan for the Xijing to stay in the edict", "to the suburbs of the ceremonial ceremony into a group of ministers to congratulate the table", after the completion of the three watches.
After blowing out the candles, on the second day, Chen Yu got up early and continued to read the five sentences, the first is "the officials who have used the faults", the second is "on reading the law", the third is "do not train the sergeants", the fourth is "the lawsuit is out of everyone's crime", and the fifth is "do not repair the time".
In fact, this second test is the writing of students' applied essays, although it must have a critical nature, but you can't have intense self-thought, you can't criticize the court, all the answers need to be reasonable, and you have to write your own experience, if you want to really investigate it seriously, this kind of topic is not difficult, the second and third field requirements are very low, as long as the sentence is smooth, there are no typos, and the meaning of the topic is expressed, basically there is no big problem, the main competition is the first seven pieces of art.
At noon on the third day, Chen Yu had already written all the answers, checked the article for typos, whether there were different sentences, whether there were disrespectful, fierce, and evasive words, and after checking them all, he wrote his name, place of origin, three generations, this scripture, etc. on the main scroll, and then began to transcribe it with that beautiful Zhao font.
Although a good poem has no effect in the township test and the general examination, after all, no matter how good your writing is, even if Ou, Liu, Zhao, Wang and others are alive, people will not look at you, because after you finish writing, there will be a transcriber to unify the font for you, and then it will be sent to the same examiner.
However, if you want to get a good ranking of first and second in the palace examination, your calligraphy is very important, because the palace examination uses on-site marking.
Not only is a good word important, but also the appearance is very important, if you are ugly, then the first, second, and other better rankings, sorry, don't think about it. (It's a bit cruel, but it's true, look at the age of faces!) Xu Zhenqing, the four great talents of Jiangnan, who will appear later, is. )
Finally the second exam was over, and Chen Yu was also sick, not only Chen Yu, but those with a slightly weaker system even almost died in the number room, but fortunately, an inspector found out.
Although he was sick, Chen Yu insisted on staying in the room for three days, after the three exams, he almost collapsed and fell headlong in front of the room when he left the room, but fortunately he was found by Shen Fatzi in Shaoxing next door and sent to see Langzhong, which picked up a small life.
Three games, nine days, the Zhejiang Township Examination, which was about to torture people to death, ended like this, and in the Gongyuan, the eight examiners including Mao Cheng and the same examiner, as well as the transcriptionist and the reading officials were sweating like rain to review the test papers.
After these three exams, it is like a rebirth for those students, in Daming, without experiencing a scientific examination, you are not a real literati, regardless of success or failure! It's so uncomfortable.
After a few days of recuperation, Chen Yu's body finally turned a little better, and he received a famous call from someone in the house, but it was Xie Pi and Dong Xi who invited Chen Yu to visit the West Lake.
These two people are not in a hurry to go back to Yuyao and Huiji, anyway, they are idle and have nothing to do, and the torture of nine days is about to drive people crazy, this is not easy to liberate, so naturally they have to have a good time, and by the way, they should wait here for the release of the list.
On the West Lake, the boats were slowly shuttling, Xie Yizhong wanted to rent a boat, but Chen Yu said that he would not be able to appreciate the beauty of the West Lake, so the three of them asked the farmer to borrow a dilapidated boat, fried a few side dishes, put a pot of wine, and a refreshing breeze blew, which was indescribably comfortable.
said that Chen Yu was asked to introduce the beautiful scenery of West Lake, but after the exam, the most common topics are often how to take the test.
Although there is no splendid painting boat, but the three of them are still the focus of the shuttle boats, the three of them are not very old, and they are very handsome, which has attracted the favor of many ladies for a while.
After a day of chewing wax, the three of them lost interest in the end and went back hastily.
Waiting for the days of the list is so difficult, Chen Yu turned the calendar day by day, hoping that the time could be faster, faster, at this time the most difficult thing is those students who are in the middle of the exam, too much, it's all in luck, so these people don't go anywhere all day long, they go to the Lingyin Temple on the Feilai Peak, and worship the Buddha every day, those monks see these students so pious, and they have said several times that they have good wisdom roots and want to be accepted as disciples and so on.
Finally, on the morning of August 30, the most nervous person in Chen's house was Chen Dafu, who was holding the Buddha's beads as big as an egg in his hand and muttering to himself.
"But it doesn't matter, but it's okay, after all, it's a show, it's okay, and there are still a lot of family wealth, and it's enough for this kid to take the exam for a few years......"
Seeing that Chen Dafu's face was not good, Steward Chen said to Chen Yu, who was calm and relaxed, "Young master, do you want to invite a Taoist priest or something to do a Fa?" ”
"Huh? What to do? Although Chen Yu looked calm and relaxed, the little heart in his heart had already reached his throat, and he finally jumped out of this sentence.
"Isn't this old man evil?" Chen Dongsheng said with a smile.
"Hehe, Uncle Chen, you are so funny." Chen Yu's face twitched for a while, and said, "Today's list, can you not be nervous?" ”
The gate of Chen's house was open early this morning, and Chen Dafu said that this would make it easier for the newspaper to identify the door, but it was noon, and no one came.
In the end, Chen Dongsheng couldn't stand it anymore, he simply said: "Young master, master, the old slave should go to the gate of the Gongyuan and take a look, anyway, it's not far away, it's too uncomfortable to wait!" ”
Regardless of whether Chen Yu and Chen Dafu agreed or not, they ran out, but it didn't take long for them to run back with a sad face.
Chen Dafu was shocked, the egg-sized walnut wood Buddha bead in his hand was crushed by him, and asked with a pale face: "Failed?" ”
"It's not!" Chen Dongsheng wiped the sweat on his head and said: "There are too many people on the street, the old slave was almost squeezed to death, and the road to the Gongyuan can't be crossed at all!" ”
"!" Chen Dafu said angrily: "Can you not want this...... So naughty, you old bad guy! ”
It was close to noon, and no one came to report the good news, Chen Yu said in his heart, "It's over!" ”
Suddenly two handsome sons came to the door, Chen Yu looked hard, where was the little guy who reported the good news, but it was Xie Yizhong and Dong Wenyu, the chrysanthemum-like smile on their faces proved that these two guys were in high school!
When the two of them entered the house, they sent silver to each person, and all the maids in Chen's house, but everyone who saw them, they gave one or two pieces of silver, and the shot was not small.
"Brother Tingyu, how many are you?" Dong Wenyu smiled brighter, and asked with a fist.
"Probably...... It's off the list! Chen Yu said a little disappointed: "No one has reported it so far, but the two of you are in high school?" ”
"Hmph, next year will definitely surpass Senior Xie!" Dong Wenyu said: "Oh, it should be replaced by Xie Jieyuan, this reads ...... It's a mouthful. ”
"Brother Tingyu, don't worry, the two of us were going to see the list, but who knew that when I passed by Er's house, I heard someone say that this year's Xie Yuan." Dong Wenyu said: "The road to the Gongyuan, that is called a water leakage, can't squeeze through it at all, I'll wait to think about coming to the house to take a look, you don't have to worry." ”
"Wen Yu should not be modest, this third is also a good ranking!" Xie Yizhong said with a smile.
Chen Dafu heard that the two of them were touting each other here, and he couldn't wait to kick these two bastards out, damn, even if he gave silver, it was the old man who sent it to the family and the maid, which two little bastards deliberately came to insult people, right?
"Hey, the way back to the mansion is surrounded by water, I may have to wait here for the night, I wonder if Brother Tingyu can entertain you?" Xie Yizhong's eyes showed a hint of cunning, but at this time, Chen Yu had no time to pay attention to his expression, and said distraughtly: "Hmm." ”
The people in a courtyard are so blank to each other, whether it is a housekeeper, a maidservant, a housekeeper, or the old and young masters.
Only Dong Wenyu and Xie Yizhong, these two seemed to be not long-hearted at all, holding the fruits on Chen's house, carrying two rocking chairs, and enjoying while eating.
As the sun set approached, a group of people looked out of the gate like a lookout stone, but outside the gate seemed to have been swept by the Japanese robbers, and there was not even a rooster crow!
The faces of the people in Chen's mansion gradually became worse, and Chen Dafu had the urge to run away, glaring fiercely at these two boys who came to "kick the hall"!
"Close the door!" Chen Yu said weakly to the housekeeper, and reluctantly showed a smile, and the smile was indescribably lonely.
Chen Dafu stepped forward and comforted: "It's okay, continue to take the exam in three years!" ”
"Slow down, slow down, maybe the one who announces the good news will arrive in a while?" Xie Yizhong said with a smile.
"You...... Where did you make two bad friends, this is simply watching us laugh and slap me in the face of Chen Dafu! Chen Dafu said fiercely to Chen Yu.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of gongs outside the door.
