Chapter 66: Township Examination
In the following days, Su Tiancheng didn't go out, he studied his homework at home and received the license plate, all of which Su Jun and Su Ertong did.
August 9th, ugly hour.
Su Tiancheng and Su Tianhao set off from the house.
It was dark all the way, Su Ertong was holding a lantern, Su Jun was holding a pen, inkstone and manuscript paper, and Wang Dazhi was following behind. Su Tianhao also had a few small servants around him, holding things.
The two brothers did not speak, and hurried away.
At two o'clock, the two finally arrived at the Tribute Courtyard.
The front of the Tribute Courtyard is still bright, and countless candidates are holding lanterns and waiting outside the Tribute Academy.
didn't sleep all night, it was useless for Su Tiancheng to scold people, the township test was originally for tossing candidates, and here, candidates had no self-esteem.
At that time, the door of the Gongyuan opened, and the candidates entered in turn.
However, this is not considered to be entering the examination room, a long corridor, at the end of the corridor, there is a small door, guarding the sergeant and the outer curtain officer, all the candidates, must untie their clothes, accept inspection, things that have nothing to do with the exam, are not allowed to be brought in, found with entrainment, will be disqualified from the examination.
This kind of inspection is very time-consuming, August is already the early autumn season, and the early morning is still a little cool.
Su Tiancheng deeply felt that this was an insult to his personality, but he had no choice, everyone was like this, if he resisted, he would be blasted out, and he would not be qualified for the exam.
All the candidates who enter the corridor, holding pen, ink, paper and inkstone in their left hand and clothes in their right hand, stand in turn and wait for the inspection.
Su Tiancheng felt that this time was particularly long.
Finally, it was the turn of the candidates in front of Su Tiancheng, and in front of a small door, there were two sergeants, and two outer curtain officers, watching the sergeant's every move.
The two sergeants touched the candidate's body and checked it carefully, Su Tiancheng felt a burst of nausea, thinking that he was going to be like this, this is not a foundation, why are you so serious, I can't wait to touch the inside of my crotch.
Su Tiancheng was still thinking like this, the sergeant was really touching the candidate's crotch, looking at this candidate, there was no reflection, it seemed that everything was taken for granted.
He can only lament, this is a scholar, what kind of face is there, and what is Sven.
He almost couldn't bear it, if he didn't have to take this path, he would have turned around and left.
Finally, it was Su Tiancheng's turn.
Slowly walking in front of the two sergeants, Su Tiancheng's heart was cold, thinking about everything that was coming, he felt that the pores on his body were upside down.
One of the outer curtain officers suddenly walked to the side of the two sergeants and whispered a few words, the two sergeants nodded, and one of the sergeants touched Su Tiancheng's waist, checked it briefly, and waved his hand to indicate that he was released.
Su Tiancheng was a little dumbfounded, it's so simple, but he is not stupid, he must have been taken care of, as for why this will happen, after the exam, let's figure it out.
Entering the small door at the end of the corridor, Su Tiancheng quickly got dressed and looked at the number plate in his hand.
After walking a few steps, there was an outer curtain official in front of him, who took the number plate in Su Tiancheng's hand, looked at it, pointed to the direction on the right, and asked Su Tiancheng to pass.
When entering the "bird cage", Su Tiancheng smiled bitterly, he had traveled in Nanjing Gongyuan and saw these "bird cages", at that time, he was still sighing, such a place, staying for several days, it is really not a human life, I didn't expect to travel less than a year, I came to the "bird cage".
Before the exam started, there was still a period of time, Su Tiancheng hurried up and slept on the small table, this damn township test made him not sleep all night.
In a daze, the gong sounded and the exam began......
There are three township examinations, namely the ninth day of August, the twelfth day of August, and the fifteenth day of August, of which the first one is the most important, and the content of the examination is four books.
The duration of each exam is one day, and after dark, a candle is issued, and when the candle burns out, stop answering questions and leave the Gongyuan.
Su Tiancheng finally saw the harshness of the township examination, and the two candidates with white beards fainted during the examination and were carried out of the Tribute Academy.
He heard Yoo Joong Ki say such a situation, but he didn't believe it at first.
The requirements of Baguwen are very rigid, as Su Tiancheng is in this situation, there is still room for personal play, the key is in the content, combined with the previous Su Tiancheng's knowledge, plus some literary talents in later generations, these three articles are very well written. Especially the first article, he spent a lot of energy.
Su Tiancheng's own feelings, the three articles, are all written in a very atmospheric manner, implicit but not revealing, and the aftertaste is endless.
On August 15, Su Tiancheng left the Gongyuan.
As soon as he walked out, Su Ertong and Su Jun supported him.
"Young master, why is your face so pale, is it uncomfortable, why don't you find Lang Zhong to take a look."
Su Ertong was very anxious, he usually saw Su Tiancheng, his face was ruddy, and he was jumping around, but after a township test, his hair was messy, and his face was very pale, was he affected by the wind and cold.
"Nonsense, you go and sit inside for a few days to see, it's better than me, I don't have anything wrong, hurry up and go home, I want to wash well, I'm hungry, Su Jun, you find a restaurant, order more good dishes, what chicken, duck and fish, nothing less."
The carriage was already ready, and it was almost dark, and when he got into the carriage, Su Tiancheng stretched his waist and felt a kind of pleasure, which was an inevitable feeling after completing a big thing.
Su Tiancheng washed for half an hour.
Su Tiancheng's washed skin turned white, and he felt that his body still had the smell of the Gongyuan, it seemed that although he had left the Gongyuan, his thoughts were still in the Gongyuan, this imperial examination was really torturous.
After taking a bath, Su Tiancheng felt refreshed and walked much easier.
Walking out of the room, Su Ertong looked at Su Tiancheng carefully and spoke again.
"Young Master, your face is much more ruddy."
Su Tiancheng knocked Su Ertong's head.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm going to eat, my stomach is growling, believe it or not, I can swallow a cow right now. By the way, is Big Brother back? ”
"Ha Luha, I don't know how many cows the third brother has prepared, and I am also going to swallow a cow."
Su Tianhao's face, with a relaxed smile, came over slowly.
Coming out of the Tribute Courtyard, they are all in twos and threes, it is impossible to come together, the Tribute Courtyard is so big, Su Tiancheng doesn't know where Su Tianhao is, and it is impossible to know Lu Dao.
When I entered the Tribute Courtyard, it was all dark and dizzy, and when I left the Tribute Courtyard, it was already dark, and it was impossible to know where the two sides were.
"Third brother, the smell of Gongyuan is really unpleasant, and I always feel that it hasn't dissipated yet."
When Su Tiancheng and Su Tianhao and his party rushed to the restaurant, they found that the business of the restaurant was particularly hot, the lobby on the first floor was full of people, almost all of them were students who participated in the township test, and the guys were busy with their feet not touching the ground, holding plates in their hands, and reporting the name of the dish loudly in their mouths.
Su Jun contacted a private room, Su Tiancheng was a little strange, and after asking, he realized that Su Jun had already booked a room.
Su Tiancheng nodded secretly, it seems that this Su Jun is indeed flexible.
Today is August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival, a very special festival, the township test is just the end of this day, and I don't know if this arrangement is intentional, it was originally a day of reunion, but many candidates from other places don't want to reunite with their families.
At this meal, Su Tiancheng opened his belly, perhaps because he was in a good mood, and the township test was finally over.
He picked up the wine jar and fought with Su Tianhao.
Su Tianhao was full of confidence, he knew how much Su Tiancheng drank, but the result was beyond his expectations.
An hour later, Su Tianhao was so drunk that he couldn't speak, and when he stood up, he staggered.
After eating, Su Tiancheng really felt tired, and after unloading the burden, people would really feel very tired.
When he returned home, he fell asleep upside down, and he didn't burn his feet for the first time, so that when Su Ertong came in with hot water, he found that he was already asleep.
Seeing Su Tiancheng like this, Su Ertong muttered to himself.
"It's not necessarily that the exam is so hard, no wonder people say that if you pass the exam, you are possessed by the gods in the sky."
This night, Su Tiancheng felt very comfortable sleeping, and when he woke up, it was already the second day, and he had never slept for such a long time.
The spirit has been completely recovered, and there are still ten days left for the release of the list, and these ten days are also waiting in Taiyuan Fucheng, but you can relax and take a walk around.
Su Tiancheng also has a trace of worry, anyway, the results of the township test have come out, and after the list is released, it can be regarded as a real stone landing, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, in case he is not able to go to high school, the future road, I really don't know how to go to the road, I have never thought about it before, and I have a bit of a road from ancient Huashan.
After washing, when he walked out of the room, Su Jun, Su Ertong and Wang Dazhi were already waiting outside.
Su Jun came up with a wicked smile on his face.
"Young master, the eldest young master hasn't moved yet, I heard them say, in the middle of the night, I sent water to the eldest young master, hum, thinking about fighting with the young master, and I didn't look at my own ability."
Hearing Su Ertong say this, Su Tiancheng was still a little worried, if he drank too much, something would happen.
"Su Jun, don't say that, drinking too much alcohol hurts my body, last night, I was also a little uncomfortable, how is the eldest brother, is there any problem."
"Young master, the little one has already asked, the eldest young master has nothing to do, it's just that he drank too much last night, and the eldest lady was a little worried, I guess she said something."
Su Tiancheng smiled and didn't continue to speak, the eldest mother was worried about her son, it was right, but unfortunately, for him, his stepson, there was no taste of concern.
