Chapter 185: Exams
Han Fei walked out of the carriage with the support of the two little guys, his face was obviously a little pale, and when he jumped out of the carriage, his body couldn't help but shake a little, which showed that his body was still weak. Subsequently, Du Wei also got out of the carriage with the two of them carrying the test baskets. When the two saw the quiet scene in front of the examination room, they were slightly stunned.
"Brother Han Nianβ" All the students present greeted Han Fei.
Han Fei glanced at the audience, seemed to understand something, and was secretly moved in his heart. He pushed away the little guy who was supporting, took a quick step, bowed to the surroundings and saluted: "Brothers, Han is ashamed, you have been waiting for a long time!" The exam is about to be examined, so please come in! β
"Brother Han Nian, please ...... first"
"The hospitality of your young brothers, Han Mou's heart has understood, you young brothers arrived first, how can Han transgress and break the rules? Please come first, don't keep the examiner waiting! β
The chief examiner standing at the entrance of the Tribute Courtyard bowed slightly to the scene in front of him, instructed the officials around him to say a few words, and turned around and walked into the Tribute Academy. The students who took the exam knew that they could not afford to rub it off, so they began to walk towards the entrance and be inspected for admission.
Today's scene touched Du Wei a lot, he helped Han Fei to follow behind everyone, and looked at Han Fei's eyes full of respect.
"Senior brother, Daddy is right, even if the younger brother is lucky to win this exam, he will not participate in next year's Spring Festival, and the younger brother will go to the people to declare to be a reporter for three years, go deep into the grassroots, and experience the public sentiment and public opinion in various places!"
"Senior Brother Wei, you can understand the deep meaning of the teacher, the teacher must be very pleased, you have more experience and experience, and you will definitely become a pillar of Dahua in the future!"
"The younger brother is ashamed, he was still a little unwilling to his father's decision before, but now from the senior brother, the younger brother understands that only by truly caring for the people can he be supported and respected by the people!"
In the chatter of the two brothers, they had already walked not far from the entrance of the examination room, and the two immediately took the examination basket from the little guy and sent the little guy back.
Finally, it was Han Fei's turn to enter, and as soon as he walked through the entrance, the officials on both sides bowed and saluted: "Master Han, you don't need to check, please go in!" β
"Thank you for your kindness, the rules that should be there can't be broken, please check it according to the usual practice!"
Han Fei said this, and several errand servants hurriedly stepped forward and flipped through it at random, saying that they had checked it, and let Han Fei and Du Wei enter the venue.
According to the regulations of the Dahua Dynasty, the township examination is three days, namely the ninth day of August, the twelfth day of August and the fifteenth day of August. The examination is also much stricter, each candidate's test paper must be transcribed before grading, and the candidates' seats are also arranged in advance, and they must be seated in the right number.
After Han Fei and Du Wei received the number plate and entered the venue, they couldn't continue to chat, and each entered the exclusive test room according to the number plate. There was no paper for the exam, and it was not allowed to go out halfway, and there was food for lunch in the exam basket. Han Fei prepared an extra bottle of ginseng soup in the examination basket, which was specially arranged by Wang Ruolan, and she was worried that Han Fei's energy would not be able to keep up.
Han Fei put away all kinds of items, secretly glanced at the surrounding students, and then sat in his seat, closed his eyes and waited for the test papers to come down.
Although the township examination is a three-day test, the most important thing is undoubtedly the first day, he must concentrate and calm down, cope with the exam with all his energy, and cannot live up to the expectations of so many people who care about him.
It didn't take long for the test paper to finally come down, and Han Fei couldn't wait to glance at the test questions, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and his heart was settled. Immediately, he methodically spread out the manuscript paper and grinded it, as if he usually practiced composition at home.
The chief examiner of the township examination is a bachelor of Hanlin selected by the imperial court from the Hanlin Academy, although he has only come from Beijing for a short time, he has long heard of Han Fei's reputation, and this time he happened to encounter a tornado and hail disaster, and he admired Han Fei's righteous act of sacrificing himself to save others. Therefore, he paid great attention to Han Fei, and when he saw that he looked calm, he was secretly surprised, and he couldn't help but quietly go around to Han Fei's side to observe in the name of inspecting the examination room.
At this time, Han Fei was concentrating, and his pen was walking with a solemn and majestic pavilion style handwriting, which immediately made the examiner's eyes shine, and the rigorous and old-fashioned style of writing made the examiner even more amazed.
At the end of the first day of the exam, Han Fei and Du Wei walked out of the examination room and came to greet Xue Zhen and several subordinates of the Han Mansion.
Xue Zhen helped Han Fei and asked with concern, "Is the second brother okay?" β
"Big brother, little brother is fine, how do you work, you come to pick it up in person, just let the next person run away!" Han Fei smiled slightly.
"It's okay, my brothers and sisters were going to pick you up, but I stopped my brother, how about this exam?"
"Big brother, it's only the first day, and there are still two exams ahead, so it's too early to discuss this."
"Well, yes, let's go home first, my brothers and sisters are in a hurry!"
Han Fei was sick this time, and the women in the family were not at ease, although they did not go to the Gongyuan to pick up people, they were all waiting in the hall of the front yard. As soon as Han Fei's carriage arrived outside the gate of the mansion, there was immediately a report from the maids, and they all couldn't wait to rush to the gate of the mansion to greet them, and only when they saw that Han Fei was safe and sound, they let go of their anxious hearts.
"Let's eat first, Senior Brother Wei and I are already so hungry that our chests are close to our backs!" Han Fei saw that the women in his family were all nervous, and his heart warmed, and he quipped.
"The concubine is going to let the subordinates prepare the banquet!" Wang Ruolan agreed and rushed to the back first.
Today is the first day of the township exam, and Han Fei and Du Wei didn't talk much about the exam, but everyone can see from the relaxed expressions of the two that both of them did well in the exam.
After two days of recuperation at home, another exam was held on August 12.
The last exam was August 15, which happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and after the exam, Xue Zhen still went to the Gongyuan to pick up people. As soon as he returned home, Han Fei felt that the atmosphere at home was obviously different, and when he walked into the mansion, he realized that the Xue family and his senior brother Yu Shiying's family had come.
After the exam, I rushed back from the Gongyuan, it was already late, and the Han family immediately set up a banquet. Xue's mother and daughters were all in the backyard, received by Wang Ruolan and others, and Yu Shiying, Han Fei, Du Wei, and Xue Zhen dined in the second side hall.
After three rounds of drinking, Yu Shiying said: "Senior Brother Han, Senior Brother Wei, in order to avoid suspicion, you can't come over until the beginning of the third game, you transcribe the text of the first game, and see how it is for your brother!" β
Han Fei glanced at Du Wei and said with a smile: "The junior brother expected that the senior brother would see it, and he was already ready, waiting for the junior brother to go to the study to get it!" β
After a while, Han Fei took the exam texts that he and Du Wei had transcribed and handed them to Yu Shiying for review.
"Great article! Haha, the two junior brothers should not be a problem this time, and Senior Brother Han's article is even more wonderful, and there is great hope for success! After reading the two articles, Yu Shiying couldn't help but high-five.
Han Fei said with some hesitation: "Senior brother has won the award, it's too early to say, right?" β
"The two junior disciples have such an article, and there is no doubt that they will be selected, but whether they can get Xie Yuan depends on the will of the examiner!" Yu Shiying picked up a glass of wine and said happily: "The township test will take no more than ten days, and let's wait and see!" β
