Chapter 122: Township Test (1)
The fifth day of the ninth month of the third year of Chongzhen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shaanxi Gengwuke Township Test officially kicked off.
At the end of the day, Wu Fanhui, Chen Minghui, Ye Kaiyi and others appeared outside the Gongyuan on time, and they set off from the Sihailou Inn at the same time and came together.
The climate can already be described as cold, the candidates standing outside the Gongyuan are waiting, dense, most of them are stomping, standing in the cold wind is not a taste, some people are frozen to the pale, although the sky is not yet bright, but the outside of the Gongyuan is bright, countless lanterns illuminate the surroundings, almost every candidate has brought lanterns.
At the end of the day, the gate of the Tribute Temple opened.
This is where the suffering of the candidates begins.
The inspection of the township examination is unusually strict, and the candidates need to spend ten days before and after the Gongyuan, and the things they eat and drink for ten days need to be brought in by themselves, and the Gongyuan will not provide them, because the time of the examination is too long, and it is impossible to bring all the cooked food, such as food, which can only be done by themselves, and eaten after being cooked in the examination shed.
After entering the Tribute Academy, the inspection was even more insulting, and the candidates took off only their big pants and let the examiner search their bodies, and all the things they carried were also checked, except for food, the rest were not allowed to be brought into the Tribute Academy.
The examination is divided into three sessions, each of which lasts for three days, and the content of the examination involves the four books and five classics, the strategy in combination with the actual situation, as well as the edicts, judgments, and tables drawn up on behalf of the imperial court, and the most important of them is the first examination of the four books and five classics.
There are more than 2,000 candidates who participated in the exam, and there are more than 6,000 test papers in the three exams, and each exam is more than 2,000 test papers.
Therefore, the test paper of the first exam is the most important, in principle, the internal curtain officer and the same examiner will only look at the article of the first exam, so as to determine the person who can be admitted to the township exam, as for the second and third articles, the way of grading, it is not too much to describe it as a horse and a flower, unless your article is particularly excellent and is found in the process of horse viewing.
Standing outside the Tribute Courtyard, waiting to enter the Tribute Courtyard, Wu Fanhui's mood was a little complicated, the patriarch Wu Mianqing's letter, he read it three times, and after remembering the contents, he burned it without hesitation, except for Wu Mianqing and the two of him, no one else knew, even if it was Lu Weibiao, it was not necessarily clear, Wu Mianqing would never admit that he had written a letter to Wu Fanhui.
Wu Fanhui felt that after the crossing, every exam he took was gambling, which was equivalent to the college entrance examination hundreds of years later, and he was able to grasp the focus and mainly review the internal similarities in certain aspects.
Fortunately, Wu Fanhui won a big win every time he gambled, so before entering the Gongyuan, he still had a lot of confidence and believed that he would be able to win a big victory this time.
Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi both stood behind him, Wu Fanhui originally planned to see where Yan Qi was, but when he saw the dense crowd of people outside the Gong Courtyard, he gave up completely, since he came to Xi'an Mansion City, more than a month has passed, he has not contacted Yan Qi, and he doesn't know where Yan Qi lives, and in his heart, he didn't think about taking the initiative to contact.
As for the candidates who took the exam from He Luoxuan and the Wang family, Wu Fanhui didn't even think about contacting them, there was no intersection between them, so there was no need to deliberately contact.
The movement of the front team is still very fast, standing outside the Gongyuan is not exactly the candidates, there are many candidates' families, or scholars, specially to send, when the gate of the Gongyuan is opened, these people will retreat to the demarcated area outside, and the candidates will also consciously line up, enter the Gongyuan in turn, and accept the inspection.
The inspection is still in the Gongyuan, and before entering the examination room, there are more than 30 inspection locations in the ten examination rooms, which is also convenient for candidates to enter the examination room quickly, after all, the examination will start after the hour.
Just as he was about to enter the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, a whispered voice came from behind Wu Fanhui.
"Brother Qianjue, work hard, I'm waiting for your good news."
"Brother Wen, thank you, I am also waiting for your good news."
There are still ten examination rooms, from the first examination room to the tenth examination room, candidates enter the Gongyuan, first hold the examination guide, in exchange for the examination number, that is, the wooden card, the wooden card says which examination room you are in, in the number of the examination shed, and then go to the front of the examination room to queue, wait for the inspection, after passing the inspection, you can enter the examination room.
If it is found to be in possession, the candidate will be disqualified from the exam on the spot, and will face the punishment of having all merits revoked, so in this case, there is almost no cheating.
The exam number that Wu Fanhui received was still the first examination room, and what he didn't expect was that he was actually the No. 1 examination room.
When the examination room is numbered, it has already been completed, this is the responsibility of the curtain officer, now it is not a random selection mode, and there is no computer to operate, it is all made up by the curtain officer one by one, and the candidates enter the tribute institute and receive the exam number directly.
Holding the exam number and looking at it carefully for a while, Wu Fanhui was sure that he was not mistaken, so he walked towards the first examination room.
Maybe he is too young, even if many candidates are busy, there are still people who look at him sideways, everyone who has taken the township examination understands that those who can enter the first examination room are those who think it is good for the curtain officer, and the chance of high school in the first examination room is also relatively large.
Of course, Wu Fanhui didn't know this, after all, it was the first time for him to participate in the township exam, but the No. 1 examination booth in the first examination room still made him understand something.
It was finally Wu Fanhui's turn.
When he got dressed, he was prepared, he didn't wear too much, even if it was frozen, it wasn't too big, anyway, after entering the examination booth, he could add clothes.
Handing over the exam number, Wu Fanhui spread out the luggage he was carrying, mainly some rice noodles and the like, as well as some cooked food.
There are three checkpoints in the first examination room, the task of the search is completed by the sergeant, and the patrol is the patrol officer, the patrol officer generally does not do the inspection, but watches the sergeant carefully inspect, if there is a place where the inspection is not in place, the patrol officer will also reprimand.
When Wu Fanhui opened his luggage, the inspector happened to come over, perhaps because he saw that Wu Fanhui was too young, so he picked up his examination number and looked at it, which made the inspector's eyes widen and walked in front of Wu Fanhui.
The sergeant was still checking the luggage, Wu Fanhui's luggage was very neat, it was clear at a glance, he had specially prepared, and Chen Minghui and others had also reminded him, so the speed of the inspection was very fast.
The sergeant quickly finished checking his luggage and walked over to search his body, and the patrolman waved.
"I'll check this."
The inspector did not ask Wu Fanhui to take off his clothes, because he could see that Wu Fanhui was not wearing thick clothes, and he couldn't hide anything on his body at all.
After Wu Fanhui raised his arms sideways, the inspector only touched his waist and legs in a few places, signaling that the inspection was completed.
This kind of inspection is too simple, Wu Fanhui looked at the inspector, and immediately stepped forward to pack his luggage, at this moment he will not be stupid and still standing, it is obvious that the inspector saw his examination number and found that he was young, so he personally checked, the inspector is also a scholar, and he will not be so rude to check.
The last time he came to take the college exam, Wu Fanhui was also in the first examination room, but he was not arranged in the No. 1 examination shed, he was already familiar with the examination shed inside, so after briefly asking the officials waiting at the entrance, he walked towards the No. 1 examination shed.
The sky was already slightly bright, the lanterns in the examination room were still on, and he could still see the surroundings clearly, Wu Fanhui saw that some candidates had entered the examination shed, and the examiner who followed quickly locked the door of the examination shed.
The first examination booth is the first in the first row, it is easy to find, Wu Fanhui entered the examination booth, and before he could sit down, an examiner appeared behind him, and closed the door with an expressionless face.
Wu Fanhui doesn't care anymore, when he enters the examination shed, the first thing he does is to pack up his things, and then he will spend ten days in this examination shed, eating, drinking, and sleeping all here, and he can't go out, unless he doesn't want to take the exam.
Busy packing up things, looking at the paper, pen and ink inkstone placed on the wooden board, Wu Fanhui shook his head slightly, to say that this Ming Dynasty, a lot of regulations are messed up, but this imperial examination is still very strict, with the ability to test, the more the family of scholars, the stricter the requirements for the children in the family, you must study seriously, if you can't do it academically, it will be reprimanded or even rejected, there is no scholar family, the first thing that comes to mind is to go to the relationship, so that the children of the clan can pass the imperial examination, It's better than it was a few hundred years later.
As for the inequality of educational resources, it will still exist hundreds of years later, and students in rural areas cannot be compared with students in big cities in all aspects.
After setting up the two planks, Wu Fanhui sat down, looking at the still snow-white walls around him, and looking at the charcoal brazier that had not yet been lit under his feet, he could only remind himself that he needed to concentrate and prepare for the exam next.
It was also at this time that Wu Fanhui thought of Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi, both of whom were in the second examination room, and it seemed that their previous grades were also very good, I don't know if these two people are ready, and I don't know if they will be able to go to high school after the township examination.
From the perspective of his inner thoughts, Wu Fanhui hopes that Chen Minghui can go to high school, so that even if he really has a friend who reads, and after more than a month of exchanges, the two have similarities in many aspects, and they will be able to support and support each other in the officialdom in the future.
