Chapter 384: Tribute Courtyard
This way to Jinan, for a long time, Wei Ming was concerned about the Dou Sect of Gaomi County, but the Dou Sect Edict neither asked Gui Zhiyu to do anything, nor did he make any small moves under Gui Zhiyu's nose.
Wei Ming had no choice but to continue to stare, but found that Cui Zhi seemed to be sick, wilting every day, and there was no excitement at all in the first two days of departure, until she arrived at Jinan Mansion and saw such a prosperous style, she was like a duckling in the Santao River jumped into the water and swam happily.
In Jinan Mansion in the past three years, the crowds are endless, and the streets and alleys are crowded with people who come to the countryside to try the test, and they take the opportunity to increase the money for food, and ask for the price when they look at the residence, and even the stalls for drinking tea on the roadside are crowded, and they may not be able to serve the table if they give money.
The residences of Anqiu Gaomi and Gaomi counties are also connected together, Cui Zhi does not live with them, Duan Wanquan came to Jinan to transport wine before, arranged a courtyard for her, and just took Wei Ming and Wu Li together with Ge Qing and Wen Chuan, Cui Zhi took Su Ling to live in the main house, and the four of them lived in the wing room, not far from the place where Anqiu sentencing was placed, only an alley away.
Cui Zhi went to Jinan Mansion with Su Ling and Jiao Wen brothers with great interest, but she didn't finish the shopping, she was interested, and said to Wei Ming, "Are you going to see the examination room?" When to go? Take me with you! ”
The examination room for the township examination is the Gongyuan, which is only available in the north and south of Beijing and the provincial capital, and it is useless on weekdays, and it is only used in the township examination every three years.
Wei Ming naturally wanted to go to see the examination room, Gui Zhiyu meant, everyone should go over and have a look as soon as possible. Gui Zhiyu took Anqiu's students to see it, Wei Ming didn't mix with them, and seeing that Cui Zhi was rarely so interested, he said that he would go at the end of the day.
The Gongyuan is built in the southeast of Jinan Fucheng, also known as the Thorn Courtyard, Cui Zhixian is still a little ununderstood, to the Gongyuan Gate to see, suddenly realized, only to see that the courtyard wall is above, full of thorns, is the role of prevention, lest someone cross this wall for no reason.
There is a plaque with ink characters hanging in the middle of the gate, the book "Gongyuan" two big characters, and a square is built on both sides, which are respectively "Ming Jing to take scholars" and "seek talents for the country." ”
Cui Zhi was already shocked when he walked to the door, Wei Ming saw that Xiaoya had always been arrogant, and this time she finally showed that she had never seen the world, and secretly felt funny, for fear that she would be separated, so he personally pulled her sleeve and walked inside.
At present, the Gongyuan is not closed, the courtyard is still being cleaned, there are many candidates who come to see the examination room, Wei Ming pointed to the tallest high-rise building to Cui Zhi, "Mingyuan Building, you can see the inside and outside of the examination room clearly upstairs, there is an invigilator looking for the examiner during the exam, and at night the upstairs blows the horn and beats the drum, and the horn drum is used instead of the watch." ”
As he spoke, he laughed, and Tete said to Cui Zhi, "When the horn is blown, there are still people shouting that there is revenge and revenge, which is very scary to hear." ”
"There is revenge, there is revenge?!" Cui Zhi was taken aback when he heard him say, "Isn't this the Gongyuan?" It's not a prison, what are you shouting about? ”
She looked at the Gongyuan again, and saw that there was still half a person-high barren grass that had not yet cleared, and suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing.
Wei Ming was not in a hurry to explain, all the way to the center of the Gongyuan, Cui Zhi went to the next stop of the tall statue, his jaw trembled, and Ge Qing, Wu Li, and Wen Chuan had already stepped forward to worship, Wu Li was still chanting, "Wanwang Kao God blessed!" ”
They worship the god of Kao.
But the god King Kong was angry, and he was angry, Cui Zhi swallowed and spitted, "Zhang, Zhang Fei? Is the test god Zhang Fei? ”
She followed Zhang Kaoshen to look at both sides of him, and saw two flags erected on both sides of Zhang Kaoshen, and two lines of words were written: There is revenge for injustice, and there is revenge for revenge.
Cui Zhi is dizzy, the painting style of this tribute courtyard is a little off!
She really didn't understand, "Master Wei, what's going on, you tell me about it!" ”
Wei Ming said that it is not difficult to understand, Zhang Fei is not the rude and reckless Zhang Fei as rumored, Zhang Yide's calligraphy is vigorous and majestic, there are calligraphy stone carvings such as "Lima Ming", and he deserves to be a god, but what is more important is that Zhang Fei is mighty and can deter Xiaoxiao.
"This is the eight words of revenge and revenge, and it is placed in front of the face of the god, which is the purpose of specially attracting resentful ghosts and ghosts. I hope that the ghosts and ghosts will write off the grievances before the exam is released, so as not to be lifted by the enemy, the court will be hot, and the grievances of the ghosts and souls will have nowhere to apply! ”
Cui Zhi heard this statement for the first time, and he only felt that his whole body was hot.
The ancients paid attention to humanistic care in this regard, and also remembered to let these ghosts and monsters have revenge and revenge, so as not to have revenge in the future, and they will be even more wronged and unable to be reincarnated.
This also shows from the side that who is selected and who is not selected has little to do with people's conduct, and the villain is not a case!
Cui Zhi sighed for a moment, thinking of Wu Tao's family, Wu Tao's failed to get Wu Li to take the township test for her son, and he must not give up, there must be other means. Wu Tao's son is also unstoppable!
Everyone went to see the number room again, a dense cubicle, where candidates want to sit and lie down to eat and answer questions, but the Gongyuan is not completely forbidden to act, there is a place to cook and make tea in the alley, candidates can go over to eat and drink, as for Lazar, Cui Zhi does not want to visit, it is said that it is dark and cramped, and it stinks......
At the end of July, there is only half a month left before the township test, and there are still a small number of places that have not been cleaned.
Wei Ming told her that the Gongyuan only opened once every three years, and no one took care of it on weekdays, and if they came to see it a month earlier, they could see that the basil in the Gongyuan was taller than people and very barren, "As for foxes, Wong Tai Sin and the like, not to mention." ”
Cui Zhi sighed, Wei Ming said again, "It's only a few days of work to sweep up, and on the first day of the eighth month, the rooms of the examiners such as the chief and deputy examiners must all be prepared, and the furniture should be new, and it should be decorated with brocade, and the entire Gongyuan will be changed ...... weather."
With Wei Ming, who knows everything about the imperial examination, Cui Zhi's visit has been very fruitful, and he is still amazed when he leaves the Tribute Academy.
The imperial examination is really an indispensable event in ancient life!
They went to many places in the city, found an old tavern full of people, and waited for a while before making a table. Jinan's cuisine is more northern-style, roast chicken and donkey meat are indispensable, Cui Zhi got a day's explanation from Lord Wei, patted his chest, "I'm in for a treat!" ”
Wu Li was especially happy, picked up the chopsticks with one hand, and took Wei Ming's hand with the other, "The blessing of the head of the Wei case!" ”
Wei Ming smiled and said nothing, and finally saw that Cui Zhi had returned to his appearance of loving food and drinking, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that everyone ate something and walked back, and after walking a short distance into the alley, they saw an acquaintance. Cui Zhi and Wu Li both "tsk" twice, and the acquaintance turned his head and saw them.
Unfortunately, it was Wu Tao, who personally brought his two sons to the examination.
