Chapter 13: Examination of Xiucai
In the next few days, Ye Xiaotian actually really concentrated on reading. Ye Xiaotian used to learn a lot of things, many of which were profound, after all, although the people who taught him in the heavenly prison were not of good character, their knowledge was excellent.
can become a Beijing official and be a big official among the Beijing officials, which one is not from a Jinshi background? It's just that the knowledge taught by these people is only a few words, very fragmentary, and may not be suitable for the imperial examination, and now he can systematically read the classics of the saints and the examination papers of many sages, Ye Xiaotian really immersed his mind in it, and it is quite fun.
For more than ten days, Ye Xiaotian has been concentrating on reading. These days, Hua Yunfei secretly went to Sanlizhuang a few times, and found out that Xue's mother, who was blinded by hatred, really sold the house and took her daughter to Shuixi, but she put on a posture of breaking the boat.
Hua Yunfei was a little worried, and when he came back, he found an opportunity to tell Ye Xiaotian about this matter, and Ye Xiaotian just smiled faintly. Not to mention that he has a clear conscience, even if Xue Mu really handed the case to the Criminal Division, there is no evidence to take him based on her words alone, not to mention that he has the strong backing of Li Xundao.
In this lawless and powerful place, what tricks can a lonely old woman do? Ye Xiaotian was also helpless about her paranoia, so he could only let her go.
After a few more days, it was time for the hospital examination. Speaking of Xiucai, the image of a poor Xiucai inevitably floats in the hearts of future generations, just like the magistrate of the official, because of the opera, the descendants regard the Qipin official as the official of the sesame mung bean Daer, and they despise it, which seems to be not worth mentioning.
In fact, otherwise, Qipin Zhengyin, that is a parent, even if you are admitted to the Jinshi and can directly release a magistrate, it will take a very tough backstage to operate for you. It's the same with this show, it belongs to the lowest level in fame. But at the local level, it is also very remarkable, and you have to pass five levels and kill six generals to get it.
If a scholar wants to take the show, he must first test his childhood. As long as the test students finish reading the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", and can write some superficial eight-strand texts according to Zhu Xi's "Notes on the Four Books". Even so, some scholars are still children when they reach the age of knowing their fate.
The child examination is divided into three stages, the first stage is the county examination, and the chief examiner is the county official. There are four or five exams, respectively to test Bagu Wen, Paste Poems, Sutras, Laws, etc., but this stage has been completed by a county under Tongren under the operation of Li Xundao, in other words, Ye Xiaotian is now a child. Naturally, his place of origin also fell in that county.
After that, I have to take the government test. The local prefect served as the main exam, and the prefect of Tongren was Zhang Duo Zhang, the local prefect nodded, and he didn't even go through the formalities, so he smoothly handled it for Ye Xiaotian, and the next thing is the hospital exam that will be held now, and only after passing this level can he be regarded as a showman.
The college examination should have been presided over by the provincial academic administration. However, there is something special about the Guizhou region. A few decades ago, Guizhou did not have its own Admiral College, and Guizhou students needed to go to the nearest three provinces of Yunnan, Sichuan, and Hunan to take the examination.
However, the rules have always been flexible, and many learned southern scholars are confident that the tribute examination can be passed to the guò, so they do not want to toss in Nanjing first and then in Beijing, but send their home to the Beizhili Shunfu to take the exam there, and directly participate in the Jinshi examination after the examination.
Later, Guizhou also set up the Admiral College, but because it was still a short time old. Many rules are not strict, including the hospital examination, which should have been presided over by the provincial academic administration, but the academic administration of this province is to be sentenced to the punishment and concurrently serve as the probationary envoy, how can he have the kung fu to wade through mountains and rivers to Tongren to preside over the examination, so he gave power to Zhang Duo, the prefect of the country. This is also the reason why Li Xundao is completely sure that Ye Xiaotian can pass the exam.
The hospital examination is divided into two sessions, one is the main examination. The second is the re-examination, and the admitted person is the student.
Early in the morning, as soon as it was dawn, Ye Xiaotian rushed to the Fuxue examination room with the examination basket, and Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi accompanied him. Even Yaoyao got up early in the morning, and Fuwaer and the big man naturally followed all the way, and this lineup was very eye-catching.
As for the winter gentleman, he often tinkered with all kinds of bottles and cans in the room until midnight, and he was used to going to bed late and getting up late, so Ye Xiaotian didn't call him.
Although Ye Xiaotian had never taken the exam, he probably knew some of the grand occasion of the exam, but when he arrived outside the gate of the school that served as the examination room, he saw the officials lined up on both sides, majestic, and there were many candidates, but there were very few candidates, and there were many parents and elders who sent the candidates here, among which there were many white men who were hobbling with crutches.
When he entered the examination room, when he dismantled his bun and took off his shoes for a search, Ye Xiaotian was shocked to find that it was not those young people who came to the exam, but those old people, and there were two middle-aged people sporadically, and the old man who was hobbling with crutches was also a candidate.
Ye Xiaotian didn't have any entrainment, and he didn't need to entrain, because he already knew the exam questions, and even the eight-strand essay was written by Li Xundao and ghostwritten for him to memorize. If you get to this level in the merit test, probably only Wei Haogu, who was mistaken by the examiner for a nine-thousand-year-old relative in cross talk, and thus promoted to three levels in a row, can be compared.
The school has been rearranged in accordance with the rules of the examination room, but there are scattered in the exam number, and there are few people at all, so it seems that the cultural and educational aspects of this Tongren Mansion are really weak.
Ye Xiaotian received the test paper number, entered the number room, and suddenly sighed when he raised his hand to study the ink: "I, Ye Xiaotian, was originally a jailer, but I didn't want to be the Venerable of nearly 100,000 people in Jiutong Eighty-one Village, but also be able to walk into the examination room to write and answer the paper, my ancestral tomb must be smoking......"
After a while, a small official walked around the venue with an exam question card and read out the question loudly, which was exactly the same as the question that Li Xundao secretly told Ye Xiaotian.
After all, Ye Xiaotian wrote eight strands for beginners, and he already understood the rules of breaking the problem, undertaking the topic, starting to speak, starting, starting the strand, starting the strand, and bundling the strand, but he still had some difficulty in writing a good article.
But now that the article has already been memorized, he just needs to write it silently, which is much easier, so Ye Xiaotian put all his energy into writing, his handwriting is really beautiful, and every word is good after writing a volume, not even a single ink speck has been stained.
After Ye Xiaotian finished writing the paper, he looked left and right, and saw that all the old men were burying their heads in answering the paper, and said in his heart: "I am too conspicuous to hand in the paper at this time, it is better to sit for a while." ”
Ye Xiaotian struggled for nearly an hour before picking up the paper and getting up to hand it in. The chief examiner was supposed to be Zhang Duo, the prefect of the Tu Prefecture, but how could Zhang Duo come here to suffer the crime, and he had already entrusted Li Xun with carte blanche to teach him. Li Xundao woke up early in the morning, a little sleepy, and was sitting on a chair and dozing off at this time.
The little official stepped forward to take Ye Xiaotian's roll and began to paste his name, and Director Li woke up when he heard the movement and opened his eyes. Seeing that it was Ye Xiaotian, he beckoned: "You come!" ”
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly rushed to his side, and Li Xundao complained in a low voice: "Why has it been so long, but I haven't memorized it?" ”
Ye Xiaotian also lowered his voice and said, "The students are naturally familiar with the melons, but they just see that the other children have not handed in the papers." Students think it's better not to be too conspicuous. ”
Li Xundao sighed and said: "You kid, be too careful, those people have been taking the exam for most of their lives, and that's it, where can they still grow?" I have no successor to Shilin in Tongren Mansion, otherwise why do you think this official is looking for you. When you are hit, the official will take you to see the prefect. Go back and get ready. ”
Visiting the Tu Governor's Mansion is because this Zhang Governor's Mansion has made a lot of efforts from it, as for Zhang Governor's whimsical desire to let Ye Xiaotian make persistent efforts and go to Shuixi Guiyang Mansion to participate in the tribute examination and raise people, Li Xundao did not say it, because he thought that Zhang Governor's Mansion was joking.
When Ye Xiaotian heard this, he naturally understood what it meant to "make some preparations", and Ye Xiaotian said with understanding: "Teacher, don't worry." The students will surely be satisfied with the prefect. At the teacher's place, after the list is released, the students also go to the house to visit. ”
Li Xundao stroked his beard and nodded with a smile: "The child can be taught, go, go." ”
"Yes! The student said goodbye. ”
At this time, Ye Xiaotian didn't want to say too much, so he bowed to Li Xun, and his own little official led him out of the examination room.
Outside the exam room. Mao Wenzhi, Hua Yunfei and Yaoyao have been waiting for him, and Fu Wa'er is squatting and dozing under a towering ancient tree. As soon as he saw Ye Xiaotian come out, Mao Wenzhi, Hua Yunfei and Yaoyao immediately hugged each other, and Mao Wenzhi asked nervously, "Big brother." How did you do on the exam? Is the question difficult? ”
Ye Xiaotian glanced at him angrily, Mao Wenzhi had already taken Gu poison and was loyal to him, so Ye Xiaotian didn't hide anything from him, Mao Wenzhi knew about getting the exam questions in advance, and he actually asked such a thing, am I so stupid that I can't be cultivated?
Mao Wenzhi saw that he didn't answer, but he glanced at himself angrily, and couldn't help but say happily: "Ah! The eldest brother looked so disdainful, it must have been a great wave. ”
Ye Xiaotian shook his head with a smile and said, "You, suddenly reminded me of a brother I met in Huxian, if you see him, you must get along with him, because you two are a pair of living treasures." ”
At this time, a black shadow fell from the sky, but it landed silently, and stopped steadily in front of Ye Xiaotian, baring its teeth and cracking its mouth at him, but it was the giant ape playing alone in the tree, and saw Ye Xiaotian come out and jump down from the tree.
Yaoyao took Ye Xiaotian's hand and said happily: "Brother, Uncle Mao said that if my brother is admitted to Xiucai, he will be a person with status, and he will be able to become a big official in the future, right?" ”
Ye Xiaotian said in his heart: "If you want to be an official, you must at least be a lifter, and Xiucai seems to be a little behind." However, seeing Yaoyao's happy appearance, Ye Xiaotian couldn't bear to disappoint her, so he replied vaguely: "Well, yes!" However, he is only qualified to be an official, whether he does it or not, it depends on whether his brother likes it or not. ”
"Hmm!"
Yaoyao nodded vigorously, and said with a smile: "Of course, my brother has such a big ability, if you make your brother a petty official like a gentle horse, the big man will laugh at you." Either my brother doesn't want to be an official, but if he does, he will be an official like Monkey King. ”
Yaoyao is really happy, not only because Ye Xiaotian was admitted to Xiucai, but also because he went to a heart disease. My brother is so lucky, and he will be admitted to the show to be a Monkey King immediately, which shows that he is not a broom star at all.
Ye Xiaotian laughed, stretched out his hand to hug Yaoyao, and said, "Yes, what our family Yaoyao said is right, if we don't give it to the big official, we won't do it, let's come to him to make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace." Haha, let's go, let's celebrate in advance and go to the restaurant!
