Chapter 227: Save the Little Life!
Shaking his head helplessly, Xie Shen chewed the cake in his mouth and swallowed it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.
At this moment, Xie Shen really realized the truth of this sentence.
On the second day, the content of the exam was very mixed, not only with judgments, but also with internal medicine. Choose one of the three questions, Xie Shen has no strength in this part, at most he can only do not lag behind.
Therefore, the day was a bit boring, and the teenager began to close his eyes and refresh himself after completing the exam in a hurry.
Fortunately, it didn't rain again today, and the smell of the nearby drain was no longer so strong......
After using some cakes to satisfy his hunger, Xie Shenfang felt that his qi and blood were more relaxed, and when he wanted to take a nap, he heard a sound from the trumpet house next to him in the west.
The sound was peculiar, and it seemed to be......
It looks like the sound of an earthquake!
Xie Shen subconsciously leaned out to look outside the building, could this be an earthquake?
Fortunately, he did not get bad luck to this point, and there was no earthquake in Gongyuan.
What is that?
The internal structure of the Gongyuan building is very simple, and the ground is all original soil.
It's better to catch up with the sand and rocks, but if you catch up with the mud, once it rains, the house will become a mud pond.
Fortunately, there was a lot of sand and gravel in this piece of land under Xie Shen's feet, and he would not fall into the mud pond for a while.
But......
The sound is more like the sound of a shovel hitting sand than an earthquake!
Could it be that the examinees in his western house are digging in the ground?
Xie Shen always thought that the word "three feet into the ground" was exaggerated, but he never thought that he would hear it with his own ears today, which is also strange.
After thinking about it, Xie Shen immediately understood what this benevolent brother who was close to the house was doing.
Digging three feet into the ground in the Gongyuan House and making such a big disturbance, it must be cheating!
Xie Shen had also read similar things when he read some wild history miscellaneous records in his previous life.
It is said that during the township examination of some political envoys, the candidates would bribe the officials in the Gongyuan and bury the Four Books and Five Classics and Zhu Ziji's annotations in advance in the number house. These officials have long been in collusion, and those candidates who have spent money will happen to be assigned to the number house where they have done tricks.
But what made Xie Shen wonder was that there was such a big movement in this house, why didn't there be an inspector to reprimand? Could it be that all the officials in the tribute court have been bought? How much money does it cost?
Xie Shen coughed subconsciously, but there was no reaction......
Now the boy can be sure that the inspectors in this line are in the same group as the candidate.
So, the next question is whether he should jump out and point out this fraud?
If he jumps out, he is the first person to cheat in the township test in Zhejiang Province, and he is meritorious.
However, there are also risks in doing so, for example, the fraudulent candidate jumped over the wall and bit him back, and insisted on pulling Xie Shen on his back, which is really ......
But if he didn't report this guy and let him dig into the ground so arrogantly, Xie Shen couldn't bear this breath.
Just when Xie Shen hesitated, two officials in soap clothes suddenly walked out of the approaching house.
Wait a minute......
How is this script different from what Xie Shen imagined.
Could it be that the Gongyuan has already provided door-to-door service?
But Xie Shen soon noticed the mud on the two officials.
Shouldn't the floor of the nearby building also be dominated by stones?
Xie Shen then noticed that a foul water channel was flowing from the neighboring house.
Belch......
Xie Shen suddenly understood something, could it be a coincidence......
The complaints of the two officials destroyed the last illusions of the young man, and you can imagine the two officials with Shaoxing accents complaining: "This thief who killed a thousand knives, it rained a few days before the exam, and this drainage canal has been deserted for almost two years, and it will be repaired now, isn't this killing people?" ā
"Who says it's not, this grinding plate big stone directly blocked the mouth of the ditch, and our brothers don't know how much energy they wasted just by breaking this stone, it's really infuriating."
"It's just a matter of crushing stones, it smells so bad."
"Hehe, don't complain, finish early and settle early."
There are no candidates in this neighboring house!
No wonder he felt unusually quiet here, no wonder when he was assigned to the number room to receive the number plate, the clerk looked at him with a kind of pity, no wonder the clerk who came to hand out the test papers kept frowning and pinching his nose, no wonder......
It turns out that his house is next to the drain!
Xie Shen wanted to look up to the sky and let out a long roar, then straightened his chest and asked the examiner to change his number, otherwise he would not take this township test!
The drain is the dirtiest place, and it is fine on weekdays, but once it rains, all kinds of mud and filth are mixed in it, and it is not much cleaner than the latrine.
There is only one smell of the latrine, and the smell of this drain is really mixed......
But reason told Xie Shen that he had to endure it.
If he proposes to change the number now, he will be the center of attention.
That's really the attention of the public, and it depends on the time to brush up on the prestige, and it is obviously not suitable for a serious and formal occasion like the township test.
endure the sea and the sky for a while, not to mention that there is only one game left.
I didn't think it yet, but as soon as the mouth of the ditch was dredged, the smell spread, which was really disgusting.
Xie Shen clasped his hands together and said silently: Guanyin Bodhisattva, who saves the suffering, save the little life.
......
......
After the second exam, there is only the third strategy left, and in the blink of an eye, it is August 14th. Xie Shen came to the Gongyuan the night before and entered the house in advance.
This is because there were candidates who were late for the first two sessions, and the chief examiner Ji An ordered all candidates to enter the Gongyuan early for the third session the night before the exam.
At night, a bright moon hangs high in the night sky, which is exceptionally bright and dazzling.
The Mid-Autumn Festival in the eighth year of Hongzhi is not fundamentally different from previous years, and families gather together to enjoy a rare and comfortable time.
And for the candidates who took the township test in the Gongyuan, they obviously did not enjoy the joy of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
During the day, the Gongyuan houses look neatly arranged like a chessboard, but at night they are as gloomy as a cemetery. And the houses are as terrible as bulging graves.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the temple has been in use for too long and has not undergone large-scale renovations.
Normally, the Gongyuan will only be used once during the township examination, and then it will be locked and wait for the examination to start again three years later, except for catching snakes and weeding before the examination, there will be no more value-added services.
After all, it costs money to repair the Tribute Temple, where does this money come from?
It stands to reason that the two counties of Qiantang and Renhe under the jurisdiction of the Hangzhou Prefecture have responsibilities, and the government also has responsibilities. But most of them will put the blame on the governor and the political envoy.
