Chapter 254: Spring Dawn
- After coming out of the official's house, Ouyang Xiu lived in Taixue, and from this day until the beginning of the exam, for more than ten days, they, the examiners, were locked in Taixue, and there were heavy guards to prevent the request.
But don't worry about them being bored, a group of literati and get together, and naturally they will sing endless poems and kill time. And unlike other hurried entertainment, or whimsical works, the most important thing to lack during the lockdown is time, so the first one is meticulously crafted, and the masterpieces are endless.
Moreover, this time there is also Ouyang Xiu, the leader of the literary league, in charge, which is a long and dangerous rhyme, and the public system is intertwined. So that the pen clerk was tired of writing, and the history of the servant ran back and forth. Occasionally, it is ridiculous, in the form of irony, and it is even more entertaining, and it is often overwhelming. It can be described as a momentary event, and it has never been done before.
It's really a personal life smug and unscrupulous, but it also leads to a lot of trouble later, but this is a later story......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Outside the examination room, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the Shangyuan Festival of the fire tree and silver flowers that never sleeps has passed, even if it is a new year. Chen Xiliang and Cao's family, and Song Fu, who arrived in Beijing a few years ago, took a cadre of children...... That is, Song Duanping's father, went to the Temple of Literature, to the Temple of Emperor Wenchang, and to the Temple of Erxianggong...... However, with the lesson of last time, I didn't ask for a sign this time.
In the next few days, Chen Ke received six sets of stationery from the time-honored Hanmotang examination box in Beijing. Eight pairs of light gloves in satin velvet, 12 deerskin ear protectors, nine pairs of short-haired soft boots, as well as various ear protectors, waist protectors, and scarves...... Dozens of pieces. Everything is a valuable fine goods, which are sent by Qi Meier, Qi Li'er, Feng An'an, Zhang Shishi, Ji Jiniang, Ji Yan'e and other pink beauties.
If it weren't for the fear of affecting his rest, the ladies would definitely come and send sweet blessings in person!
Of course, this kind of treatment is not only Chen Ke. Su Shi, Liu Ji...... Wait for the first prize to win the favorite, and there are all young talents! It's just that Chen Ke can fill in the lyrics and make songs, so he is even more recruiting.
Of course. There is also a small county lord's love snack. Well, the county lord's craftsmanship is getting better and better, and before he entered the examination room, he let Chen Ke eat a fine light.
In a blink of an eye, the 18th arrived, and it was still the same as last time, and a group of relatives and friends came to make a grand trip. But for all of you, this time is more offended than the last time...... The last autumn was in August, and although the autumn was cool in the morning and evening, the weather was generally pleasant.
It's the first month of the year! I don't know which one of the brains was decided. Candidates were actually allowed to take the exam in the first month. Even if the winter in Kaifeng is not cold, it is still below freezing! This is really a pit for weak scholars...... One by one, from head to toe, tightly wrapped, like cotton monkeys. Fireworks are strictly prohibited in the examination room, and you can't bring a heater in, so I really don't know how to survive these three days!
However, among the five people in the Chen family who went to the exam, only Shiro was the only one who had this distress. The other four are all steel-cast iron body bones, and they only wear single clothes in the ninth month, how can they care about this cold?
At the fourth watch, the family set off for Xuejie. In the autumn, the Kaifeng Fuxiang test was in Taixue, and the Guozi invigilation test was in the Guozi invigilation. In the spring, there were more than 7,000 candidates, and they were only taking the exam in Taixue.
When the drum of the fifth watch sounds, three cannons will be put before the Taixue. The fence was opened; Three more cannons were fired, and the gate was opened; Three more cannons were fired, and the dragon gate was opened. The soldiers of the forbidden army came out to line up, and then a cadre of examiners came out with signs in their hands, asking the candidates to line up according to the words on the name......
Except for a few more shots. The process is no different from that of Qiuqiu. After a time like Chen Ke, there is naturally no nervousness at all, and people will do whatever they want.
On his exam card this time, the word 'Li' is written, which is the forty-fourth group, but it is much later than the last time. This is the only loophole in the exam arrangement, and on the day the candidate receives the number plate, he or she will know which group he is in and what time he will enter the exam. ..., the waiting time is a little longer, but Chen Ke is also a man of the year now, and the scholars in the same group basically know each other...... At least I know him, so it's not hard to pass the time by whispering, chatting and joking.
Wait until the sun is three poles, and then it will be their turn to enter the field. After the strict verification, a group of forty people was taken to the courtyard on the left, in front of a makeshift shed. The examiner said with a straight face: "Immediately take off your clothes and bathe, and get your examination tools and clothes at the exit." ”
"No......" Everyone couldn't help but complain, how to take a cold shower in this winter, how to take the test if you have a cold?
This kind of unlucky child is not unprecedented, but how can the court system be easily changed? If you don't wash it, believe it or not, someone will help you strip naked?
"Don't bother, there are more than a dozen groups behind!" The examiner reprimanded and turned to go out.
I had no place to be reasonable, so I had to grit my teeth and take it off. The crowd quickly turned into bare pigs, put their clothes in a basket, and pressed the test cards on top. When they entered, soldiers would come and carry their baskets and boxes for their clothes to the exit for inspection.
There are too many clothes in winter, and it is impossible for the imperial court to provide clothes like autumn. So you'll have to wear your own later. But this does not mean that the search is loose, on the contrary, because the test is actually the last elimination, and the inspection is ten times stricter than that of Qiuqiu:
According to the regulations, candidates should wear unsewn clothes, single-layer shoes and socks, and it is forbidden to bring wooden frames, wooden boxes, double-layer benches, thick mattresses, quilts, roll bags, wraps, etc. And the inkstone is not allowed to be too thick, and the pen tube must be hollowed. The water injection should be made of porcelain, the wax table should be hollow on a single plate, and the cake should be cut to expose the filling...... That's why Chen Ke finished eating in advance, he was reluctant to let the little county lord's dim sum look like a work of art, and he was stabbed by that innocent knife.
In addition, it is also required that the felt carpet has no lining, the leather coat has no face, and the entrance is only allowed to carry the bamboo examination box, and it is not allowed to bring a piece of paper and words. Of course, bathing is also indispensable.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fortunately, the official did not lose his conscience and bathed the lifters with cold water. So many people took a bath and used dozens of stoves to boil water, barely enough to supply.
However, the water temperature can only be said to be not cool. Many of them ran out of the bathhouse without any water, and hurriedly wrapped themselves in towels, and curled up in a trembling ball, waiting for the soldiers to bring in the baskets of clothes.
However, after waiting for a long time, no one came in, and the children sneezed into a piece and made a loud noise. Then they came in and threw them baskets of clothes.
The lifters used the fastest speed in their lives to put on their clothes, only to find that the good cotton jackets had been removed and the cotton boots had their tongues sticking out, which showed that the inspection was careful. However, the cotton monkey, which had a poor image, became a beggar, which made the candidates feel angry and couldn't help but scold......
Chen Ke's clothes list looked neater and neat, and he said to everyone: "It's useless to talk more, let's think about it in the future." ”
The effort was not in vain, Chen Ke spared no expense and made great efforts to build the Jiayou Society into one of the most influential societies in Bianjing. At the same time, it also gave him a strong personal influence. At least he said a word, whether it was a move from the Jiayou Academy or not, he all shut up, got dressed, and went outside to get the exam box.
Soon, everyone put on their own test boxes, but saw that Chen Ke was still empty-handed.
"What's wrong? Where's your test case? ”
"I didn't find ......" Chen Ke saw that there were no test boxes in the field, smiled bitterly at everyone, turned to the search officer and sang: "Excuse me, are all the test boxes here?" ”
"It's not." The inspector looked at him coldly and said, "What's your name?" ”
"Student......" Chen Ke chuckled in his heart, but he still said calmly: "It's called Chen Ke." ”
"Chen Ke......" The inspector's eyes sank and said: "Take it away!" ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and saw two tall forbidden soldiers walking forward, one of them grabbed Chen Ke by one arm, and was about to drag him out. ..., "Let go of me!" Tall and tall are relative, Chen Ke is half a head taller than them, I saw him flick his arms, he bounced the two of them away, glared at the examiner angrily and said: "Dare to ask this adult, which exam rules did the student commit!" ”
"Knowingly asked! But the official still answers you! The search inspector sneered and said loudly: "The "Great Song Dynasty Examination Regulations" clearly stipulates that all candidates are not allowed to coerce the book policy except for the official "Rhyme", so that the prison gate and the patrol shop officials will be aware of it, and the offender will be helped out immediately, and the two moves in the hall of the scholars and the five moves of the halls of the sciences!" Saying that, he looked at Chen Ke with disdain and said: "The transcript you hid in the exam alley has been searched, if you have anything to say, go and say it to the invigilator, take it away!" ”
Chen Ke was a little stunned when he was in charge, coerced? How is that possible? Before going out, I carefully checked my test box, how could there be a cheat sheet?
At this time, two more soldiers came over, trying to pull him out together.
As soon as he was pulled, Chen Ke immediately reacted, if he was taken down without saying a word at this time, then he would be called a yellow mud and fall into the crotch of his pants, and the crime of cheating would be confirmed!
This is not only the second move of the temple...... That is, if you can't take the exam again for eight years, his reputation will be ruined!
Who wants to associate with a villain?
"Go!" With a roar, Chen Ke exerted all his strength, bounced the four soldiers away, grabbed the examiner's arm as he spoke, and shouted: "Thief, you dare to frame me!" ”
The search inspector is a director of the Ministry of Rites, where have you ever seen such a tyrannical candidate? He felt as if his right arm was glued to a soldering iron, and he screamed in pain: "If you dare to attack the examiner, arrest him quickly!" ”
......The guards drew their blades and shouted angrily at Chen Ke, "Let go of your lordship!" On one side, someone raised an iron ruler and threw it at him.
Chen Ke blocked the search prosecutor in front of him and said loudly: "Take me to see the provisional prosecutor!" ”
"No murder!" All the candidates also came back to their senses, and they rushed forward and said, "He must have been wronged!" ”——
