Ji remembered that there was another question.

"Even if you pass the Xiucai exam, it seems that you can't directly participate in the township exam, isn't there another subject exam?"

There are two types of hospital examinations: annual examinations and scientific examinations.

The basic task of the annual examination, in addition to selecting talents from the children's examination, is to assess the original talents, and then give rewards and punishments according to the merits.

Only students with good results in the annual examination can participate in the subject examination. Only after passing the examination will they be allowed to participate in the township examination at a higher level.

Could it be that she is mistaken?

"You're not mistaken, but ......," Song Wei snorted, "the king's decree has been issued, and the state capitals at all levels, whether they want to or not, must open the door to convenience." After the examination, the examination will be held in mid-September, when both new and old students can participate. ”

Ji didn't know whether to sympathize with those students or the officials who took the exam.

Students will finish the exam after they finish the exam, they still have to mark the papers, rank, and report the rankings......

But she was more worried about Song.

If everything goes well and Song has passed both the hospital examination and the township examination, then he will have to take the next year's entrance examination.

The examination is also known as the spring school, the location is in Beijing, and the examination period is in the spring February, which is held on the 9th, 12th and 15th of the first month of February.

Although Guanbei is far from the capital, the carriage and horses are only a month, but in winter often heavy snow and road closures, really encounter that kind of situation, and when you arrive in the capital, the daylily is cold.

In other words, Song Nian may not be able to spend time at home, so he has to leave in advance.

After the examination, it was followed by the palace examination, which was held on March 15, only a month apart.

With such a high-density arrangement, can he hold it?

Even if you have enough brain, your body can't bear it.

Song obviously knew what she meant, and the warmth in her eyes floated.

"It's not easy. But this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, for all readers, even if they are deficient or unable to do so, they all want to give it a try, maybe they will catch the tail of good luck? Even if it is not good, you can also accumulate some experience. ”

The most important thing is that Zhengke is held every three years, and if you miss this township exam, it means that you have to wait two more years.

Two years, there are too many variables.

Not to mention those who consciously sit back and relax after successfully entering school, and spend their days on recreation, so that they abandon their studies.

Just say that those students from poor families have been studying hard for ten years, and one more day is torture.

This torture is not only physical and mental, but also comes from life.

One day earlier before being admitted to the show to become a student, you can receive a little silver every month, and you don't have to burden the family from now on, but you can also earn some extra silver to supplement the family by saying items for people and guaranteeing children's lives.

Not to mention the basic benefits such as exemption from servitude, no kneeling when seeing officials, and no punishment imposed by the government at will.

Even if you fail to succeed in the future, you can still serve as an official's staff, or be a guest secretary for a large family, or you can be a private school teacher at the worst.

In addition to enjoying the basic privilege of not paying taxes and not being forced to do labor, from local landlords to small farmers and small businessmen, they will drag their families to come and rely on them to avoid the exploitation and extortion of tax collectors.

More importantly, if you become a lifter, you can become a leader.

In the future, even if you fail the test, you already have the qualifications to be an official. Although most of them are adjutant officials such as prefectural and county teaching and master books, it is not without the opportunity to be a school official and a county magistrate.

How else to say that the poor show is rich? The township test was a watershed in the meantime.

But only a small number of Xiucai can cross this dragon gate, and many more are turned away year after year.

Everyone knows that this threshold is very difficult, but before they try it, everyone wants to believe that they can pass it.

Therefore, in this township test, there are definitely not a few people who have the same idea as Song.

Ji sighed: "It seems that the relaxation of discipline also has the benefits of relaxation of discipline......"

Isn't this kind of opportunity for the emperor to suddenly have a brain pump.

"Then I wish you success in advance."

If the competition in the hospital examination is fierce, then the competition in the township examination is fierce, and the number of places in a province is only a dozen, although there have been times when it has reached 100, but that kind of situation is rare.

But for some reason, Ji just thinks that Song can do it.

"Of course, don't put too much pressure on yourself, although I'm sure you're absolutely fine, but ...... I mean, just in case...... You don't want it, it's the ......."

Song couldn't help but laugh: "Why do I think you have more worries than me." ”

After laughing, he looked at Ji seriously: "Don't worry, I will do my best." ”

Under Song's gaze, Ji looked away uncomfortably: "That's good." ”

The air fell silent again, and silence spread between the two.

This time it was Song Xian's mouth.

"Did you receive the letter I wrote to you later?"

Ji paused and nodded: "Roger." ”

"So, why are you ......?"

After the opening of the college, the day of the college examination is approaching, and all students who are qualified to take the examination are afraid that their heads are not enough, and the time for eating and sleeping can be saved.

The gentlemen also repeatedly added classes, and there were originally one or two holidays a month, but now they have also been cancelled.

In particular, Song is listed as a key focus object.

He couldn't go back to the village, so he took the time to go to the Hu spicy soup stall twice, and he didn't see Ji.

However, the more I can't see it, the more the worry in my heart becomes stronger day by day.

After thinking about it, he carefully wrote a letter.

There is nothing transgressive in the letter, but it is just a daily routine to prepare for the exam.

After checking it again, the envelope was sent to the bookstore, and the boss of the trust party handed it to her when Ji Lai picked up the book.

It took nearly half a month before I finally received a reply from Ji.

He returned to the dormitory with excitement, avoiding everyone, and opened the letter with bated breath, reading it word by word.

The content of the letter was exactly the same as his one, except for a few trivial anecdotes, and did not say much.

It's just that at the end of the letter, I specially instructed him, hoping that he would concentrate on his studies and not be disturbed by foreign affairs.

The meaning of this sentence is not unclear to Song.

But he didn't know why, every time in the dead of night, when his mind was tired and couldn't read a word, he would always think of her, want to look at her, and want to talk to her.

So he wrote two more letters after that, but until he returned to the village this time, he didn't wait for Ji's reply.

He once thought that this was Ji's answer to himself.

But on the day of the snow trek, he clearly saw another answer in Ji's eyes.

Which one is true......

He couldn't ask Ji openly, and learned that Ji Nan had grown things in the mountains, and he had been here every day since he returned to the village for the past two days.

I didn't expect him to wait.

Although when he first saw the transformed Ji, he thought about putting this question aside for a moment, but the greater impulse in his heart prompted him to ask

Ji also gave him the answer.

She received it, but she didn't get it back.

Maybe he should have followed up and asked, why didn't he reply? Is it too busy, or does it feel out of place, or is it because it is ......

Countless reasons went through his mind, but he couldn't open his mouth.
