Chapter 105: The Examination Room of the Tribute Academy
Temple of the Three Saints.
Wang Yuan packed up his baggage, and before leaving, he naturally did not forget this place of sages.
Passing by the Three Holy Temples, Wang Yuan felt that it was natural to worship one or two sages.
The tall Three Holy Temples are more than the century-old temples that Wang Yuan once visited in Qizhu Mountain, and even more so than the Three Emperors Hall that cannot be glimpsed in Xingyang.
In these ten miles and eight towns, the well-known Sansheng Temple is just a few rather dilapidated temples.
There is also a shabby temple that takes care of this small temple.
Wang Yuan walked into the Three Holy Temple.
Miaozhu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, handed over a few incense sticks, and tried to say a few words, sacrificing the three saints is beneficial to the road of the imperial examination, but Wang Yuan waved his hand to stop him.
The Yellow Emperor, Emperor Yan, and Cangjie are all sages of Huoyun Cave, how could Wang Yuan come to pray to God and worship Buddha for the sake of the imperial examination.
Of course, these bigwigs are willing to help, and that must be excellent......
After the incense was applied, Wang Yuan casually took out a piece of silver and threw it to the temple.
"Take good care of this little temple!"
"Thank you, Wang Langjun!"
Miao Zhu was slightly happy to see this, although the Sansheng Temple has always had a little incense, but there are not many people like this Xiao Langjun in front of him.
It's just that the three incense sticks are lit, and this temple blessing doesn't know if it's an illusion, but it feels like the three golden bodies are faintly revealing purple clouds.
Wang Yuan also saw the fragrant clouds that swirled around the three golden thrones.
The other gods here are often manifested, and the three saints are able to swallow incense and clouds, so Wang Yuan is not surprised.
Especially the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, Wang Yuan had also seen the divine general who claimed to have served the orders of the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and had another mission.
Wang Yuan turned to leave, and on the road above the official road, Wang Yuan saw many villagers from Yangjia Village who came to see him off.
Yang Fa, Yang Erye, and some villagers of Yangjia Village.
These villagers were still carrying a lot of things in their hands, and when they learned that Wang Yuan was finally going to set foot on the Beijing Division and go to the exam, these villagers spontaneously came to see him off.
Wang Yuan has lived in Yangjia Village for more than three months, and although he has not done much good in the village, he is kind and willing to help some villagers, which makes many villagers feel very cordial.
In particular, Wang Yuan himself is still from a famous family, which makes many villagers in Yangjia Village have a good impression.
They came to see them off, not because they wanted to have a relationship with this old man, but just to say goodbye to relatives and friends in the village!
Seeing this, Wang Yuan naturally sighed a little.
Although these villagers are sometimes calculating, they are extremely good-natured.
Compared with those dignitaries, Wang Yuan was sometimes more willing to deal with these villagers.
At this time, Wang Yuan noticed that Yang Shicheng was in the crowd, this half of the eldest son, and at this time, sneakily appeared behind many village names.
"Brother Wang, come here!"
Seeing Wang Yuan's gaze, Yang Shicheng walked to the side under a big tree and quietly beckoned.
Naturally, some villagers saw Yang Shicheng who was dodging and couldn't help but smile kindly.
In Yangjia Village, this Wang Langjun is indeed very popular, including those half-sized children.
Not to mention that this Lang Jun also learned carpentry from Yang carpenter.
"Shicheng, what do you want to say?"
Wang Yuan walked over, he looked at Yang Shicheng as if he had something to say!
Seeing Wang Yuan's arrival, Yang Shicheng pulled Wang Yuan, this kid quickly stuffed a piece of yellow talisman into Wang Yuan's sleeve, looked at Wang Yuan with a pair of eyes, and whispered.
"Brother Wang, my sister asked me to give you this wishful talisman, this is a talisman that my sister asked for you in the Jade Immortal Temple, and said that I wish you the gold list!"
Holding the talisman that did not have any mana and aura in his sleeve, the smile on Wang Yuan's face narrowed slightly.
Yang Xiugu's thoughts on him, how could he not understand.
Beauty love, but he doesn't feel anything.
Wang Yuan will not easily accept a woman who has no love between men and women, there is no need for such feelings.
But such a direct refusal may cut off Yang Xiugu's way of life.
Wang Yuan didn't want to hurt a young girl in her early bloom so uprightly.
"Shi Cheng, you tell your sister, Wang Langjun thank her for her blessings, and I have seen it for her, her marriage still has a bright time!
"Okay, Brother Wang, I remember clearly!"
Yang Shicheng nodded vigorously when he heard this.
A pair of sparkling eyes looked at Wang Yuan, grinned, and bounced away!
Wang Yuan looked at Yang Shicheng's departing figure.
The flowing water is not intentional, and the white clouds are unintentional!
I didn't think about it, but I also provoked the peach blossoms, Wang Yuan felt that when I traveled in the future, I should change my appearance and make my face ugly, otherwise the peach blossom luck would become a peach blossom evil, and it would be terrible.
As for Yang Xiugu's marriage, Wang Yuan is not very worried.
If the Qin clan can keep the peach wood gossip mirror in his hand, Liu Xinzhai will naturally be disaster-free in the future.
But now it seems that no matter how spicy the Qin clan is, it can't deal with the men and women of the entire Yangjia Village.
Lost the mahogany gossip mirror.
Sooner or later, the monster will come to the door.
Unless Liu Xinzhai can be before this, he will be a scholar in one fell swoop, enter the Temple of Literature, and be given a literary spirit.
Otherwise, he may not be able to obtain Yang Xiugu.
Bidding farewell to the many villagers of Yangjia Village, Wang Yuan came straight to Jingshi from his official path.
......
Yang Xiugu was not far from the entrance of Yangjia Village at this time, looking at Wang Yuan's distant journey, and her expression was slightly melancholy.
This farewell, I don't know if I can see you again!
Wang Yuan and Wang Langjun in front of him, whether it is appearance or character, are worthy of respect.
At this moment, Yang Xiugu saw Yang Shicheng coming from the rocky path, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"Sister, Brother Wang accepted your wishful charm, and said that my sister doesn't need to be pessimistic, he has seen it for you, and there will always be a bright future in the future!"
"Bright ......"
Yang Xiugu's pale face was slightly flushed, and there was probably some comfort in her eyes, but there was no more girlish activity in her eyes, and her body seemed to be much heavier.
......
Wang Yuan's speed of rushing was not slow, because there were only less than two days left before the start of the February 19 Rite Examination.
At this time, the examiners who acted as invigilators at all levels and read the papers had already arrived in the Gongyuan.
In order to be afraid of leaking the test papers, the official family will assign a group of officials at this time of year to enter the tribute courtyard as early as the end of January, and stay in the tribute courtyard for more than half a month until the beginning of the rite examination.
From this, it can also be seen that the dynasty attaches great importance to the Ministry of Rites test.
In order to prevent the occurrence of fraudulent collusion, the invigilator who first came into contact with the examination papers was placed under house arrest for more than half a month.
......
In the suburbs of Beijing, there is another stream next to the official road, the pebbles are piled up by the stream, the clear water is murmuring, the camel bell rings in the distance, only to see the official road, a long camel caravan, carrying heavy living animals, coming towards the market outside the suburbs of Beijing.
From a distance, a few donkeys and lean horses were already overwhelmed, and the packers behind were skillfully driving these horses, and they looked like they were going to pass through the bridge at the bend, and then through the market, and go straight to the capital.
"Jingshi is too prosperous!"
Wang Yuan also led a horse and walked out of the crowd of merchants and pedestrians, surrounded by bustling caravans and merchants, passing through this bridge combining commerce and agriculture in an orderly manner.
Not far away is the pier in the suburbs.
There were boats coming and going, and there were many small and cluttered yards beside it, bare on the dry trees, and occasionally a few birds' nests could be seen.
Next to it, there are people blowing and blowing, and some people are taking advantage of the auspicious day of the zodiac to marry the bride.
The bride sits on the flower bridge, which is a real flower bridge, in front of a groom riding a tall horse, behind the groom is a dowry porter, and there are people holding the bride's dressing box next to him.
There is also a porter in the back, carrying a load of fish.
Wang Yuan knew that it was the woman's mother's family wishing her husband to be rich and rich.
At this time, a light rain suddenly fell on the horizon, and the light rain was dripping, and Wang Yuan saw porters, cargo owners, and loitering on the road, and guests scattered and fled in all directions, or entered the tavern next to them to hide from the rain.
The bridegroom who passed through the door did not expect that the heavenly father was not beautiful, and it actually rained at this time, and he was suddenly quite embarrassed, and the porter who carried the gift behind was also in a hurry.
In the bumping, Wang Yuan saw the curtain of the bride's flower bridge fluttering, and the bride was unsteady by the porter, screaming.
Fortunately, a dock was built in front, and there were many warehouses on the dock, as well as a place for huge ships to moor to shelter from the rain.
Wang Yuan chuckled at this scene, he opened an oil umbrella from the book frame behind him, and quietly walked past the place called Hongqiao.
After a while, before coming to the city gate, a few lazy soldiers leaned on the city gate, and randomly checked the road guide issued by Wang Yuan, as well as the identification certificate, and did not embarrass Wang Yuan anymore, allowing Wang Yuan to enter this prosperous giant city smoothly.
Wang Yuan glanced at a few lazy soldiers, and shook his head secretly.
From these soldiers at the city gates, Wang Yuan could not see a trace of vigilance and morale belonging to the forbidden army.
The city defenses were scattered, there were few guards under the city walls, and there were not many fortifications on the city.
The dynasty is rotting!
This is not what Wang Yuan wants to see, the entire dynasty is immersed in prosperity and is negligent in taking precautions!
How many years has it been since the founding of the country!
Wang Yuan's face was a little dark.
It seems that he may have to face a heavier future than he imagined.
......
Wang Yuan stepped into the city in the autumn rain.
At this time, the inns of all sizes in Jingshi were in a state of fullness, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.
Of course, Wang Yuan didn't need to find an inn by himself, Wang Fu and Wang Xi, who had arrived a month earlier, had already spent a lot of money to find a separate courtyard for him to settle in.
At the same time, I have already made sufficient preparations to find out everything, where to participate in the entrance examination, how long it will take, and what to bring.
......
And just when Wang Yuan set foot in Beijing, a group of Hanlin officials in the Gongyuan field finally completed the formulation of the exam questions.
After the exam questions are formulated, the next step is to open the tribute courtyard and let the people of this department enter.
To be honest, in such a cold winter, being locked up in a simple tribute courtyard is not easy for these officials.
Where can the cold and cold Gongyuan field compare to the splendid silk at home, the wife and concubine!
Not to mention that eating, drinking, and Lazar have to be in this leaky place.
......
Guozijian, the examination room of this subject is located in Guozijian.
Although the steps of the ritual examination in today's dynasty are complicated, the establishment of the examination room is simple.
In previous years, it was either to reveal the temple of Wucheng Wang, or to borrow the country to get the land.
The cold wind is cold, the white moon is beautiful, the frost and cold branches, the third watch day is the time of the change, and the country is already a torch like a dragon before the country.
The blazing light of the fire also seemed to dispel the chill in the air.
Wang Yuan was still wearing a thin Confucian embroidered robe, but he was wearing a crane on his body, which was quite warm, which was a standard dress for a rich and noble brother.
The crowd under the firelight, at a glance, there were not many people dressed like this, and there were also a small servant busy inside.
These faces show that they are either rich or noble.
There are also some people from the cold family, but they know how to shiver in the cold wind.
They also had to arrive early.
The ceremonial examination of the national dynasty is usually over within a day, unlike in later generations, if it takes a few days in a row, people will be lame.
"Childe, are you cold!"
Wang Xi, Wang Fu was beside him and asked for warmth, and under nervousness, sometimes he didn't know a word at all and asked many times.
Wang Yuan looked at the two personal scholars with some dumbness, they were even more nervous than him, who was taking the imperial examination.
At this moment, Wang Yuan's eyes moved, and his eyes saw a familiar figure not far away, and he immediately greeted him.
"Brother Li!"
There were two voices there, and when I saw him say hello, I couldn't help but be surprised, and one of them was even quieter.
"It's the pervert surnamed Wang!"
There was an inaudible voice, but Wang Yuan raised his eyebrows, and looked at Li Fu who was whispering with a smile.
Those two figures were Li Zhaoting's master and servant.
is also tied in a bun, with a face like jade, Li Zhaoting took Li Fu and approached with his footsteps.
That group is not only Li Zhaoting's master and servant, Cai Qi, who has not been seen for a long time, but also Zhou Yi is among them, and there are more than a dozen young people who are also high-spirited.
At this time, on the tall building next to Guozijian, there were many other figures in the dark night, and they were also excitedly looking at the crowded places under their feet.
Being able to witness so many lifters from all over the world is also a rare opportunity for many merchants and cargo owners, and they have to go inside.
Every year, some lifters will always forget to bring Wenmo, or like to ask for an auspicious lottery before entering the Tribute Academy!
Here's the chance!
There are also many ladies who simply come to see the excitement!
In today's department, who has the hope of being a middle jinshi, and who has the hope of being a champion, I am afraid that it has long been discussed, and there are even young ladies who show their eyes and patrol in the crowd.
"He is Wang Cunhou!"
And on top of one of the tall buildings, it was extremely quiet, and a graceful and luxurious figure, following the guidance of a beautiful woman, fell on Wang Yuan and a small group of people.
"Yes!" the beautiful woman next to her bowed slightly, then took a half step back.
This graceful and luxurious figure looked at it carefully for a moment, bowed his head slightly, and then led several beautiful women behind him to leave quietly!
After the beautiful woman left, Wang Yuan glanced at the tall building, but as far as his eyes could see, he didn't see any figure.
"Is that her?"
