Even after the township test ended, the white light shrouded outside the township school did not dissipate, including the false marks on the foreheads of the students, but only deeply converged and did not disperse. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It will not be until the list is released three days later that these talents and imprints will be dispersed.
There are township examination answer sheets in the township school, so except for Xuezheng and the students who participated in the township examination, no one else can enter, even if they are students, they cannot enter the library.
At this moment, in the township school, Xuezheng was full of smiles, surrounded by talented students in the township, about seventeen or eighteen people, and Jiang Shilang was also among them.
At this time, those who can enter the township school are all excellent students in the eyes of everyone, that is, those who have hope for the talented students, and other students who ask themselves no hope have not entered.
"Xuezheng, can you tell us about the results of this township examination?" In the crowd, a thin student asked with a shy face, and then said: "The national dynasty stipulates that the number of places cannot be disclosed before the list is released, but you can talk about the number of talents in the examination." ”
All students who participate in the imperial examination know that the paper of the answer sheet is specially made and can resonate with the talent of heaven and earth, so when the answer sheet is completed, Xueyin will automatically determine the grade of the answer sheet.
Subsequently, although there are still procedures for academic and bachelor's review, most of the answer papers will not change the grade of the answer papers.
So generally speaking, at this time, the list of Xiucai in the examination has basically been determined, and Xuezheng undoubtedly knows the inside story.
According to the regulations of the national dynasty, before the list is released, it is absolutely impossible to announce the list of winners, but it is still possible to reveal the number of people who have passed the examination, and this kind of thing has happened in all prefectures and counties of the national dynasty.
Xuezheng didn't refuse, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but he coughed lightly twice.
Some small noisy crowds suddenly quieted down, and seventeen or eighteen people all looked at Xuezheng with blazing eyes, to be exact, at Xuezheng's old mouth.
"Everyone knows that there are standards for show talents, two A and one D, one A and one B, one C, and three B, and if they are lower than these three standards, they cannot be awarded to Xiucai. Xuezheng pulled his beard, and in the nervous eyes of everyone, he deliberately paused, obviously to release important news.
Sure enough, with Xuezheng's movements, the breath of a group of people around him was suddenly held, and they looked at Xuezheng with fiery eyes, as if Xuezheng was a peerless beauty.
At this moment, even peerless beauties are not as attractive as Xuezheng.
I also participated in the scientific examination in the same year, and I understood the mood of the students, so I didn't leave any suspense, and said with a smile: "In this township examination, there are two first-class and seventh-B answer sheets for Jingyi, one A-six-B for policy theory, and one A-seven-B for poetry answers, and one student answered three first-class answer sheets at the same time. ”
The top three test papers, direct to the house!
Almost every student popped up these two words in their minds, and then turned their fiery eyes to Li Rong.
Li Rong is well-deserved as the first talent in Jiyuan Township in the eyes of everyone, if there is a student who answers the top three answer sheets, then nine times out of ten people will believe that this student will be Li Rong.
In an instant, Li Rong's head was raised infinitely.
Xuezheng smiled, did not break this matter, and looked at Li Rong's gaze, but there was a hint of indescribability.
If in the past, even if Li Rong was proud like a big rooster and cherished the talented Xuezheng, he would think that Li Rong was a young maniac at most, but now, with Jiang Shangli Zhuyu in front, Li Rong's posture is a little unbearable.
"In other words, the top three are one person, and in addition, there are at most six candidates who are talented!"
With a brush, all heads looked at Xuezheng.
Xuezheng nodded, shook his head again, and said, "There are six in total." ”
Obviously, not everyone answered three B-class answer sheets, and there were still two B-1-C or 2B-1D answer sheets, and the latter would be deposed and would not be awarded Xiucai.
Almost all of the eyes that looked at Xuezheng lit up, and there was apprehension, inquiry, and anxiety in their eyes.
There were seven or eight people present, Li Rong was afraid that he had a quota for Xiucai, so the other seventeen people, only five of them were Xiucai, and only one of the three people would be selected!
Presumably, the three days of waiting for the release of the list are probably very torturous for many students who have no bottom in their hearts.
"Okay, if it's okay, let's all disperse, release the list in three days, and come back to the township to study. Xuezheng said with a smile.
According to the Great Zhou Dynasty's "Prefecture and County Laws", there are 30 counties under the jurisdiction of Fanfu, 18 townships under the jurisdiction of Fanxian County, and 73 prefectures under Daxue Road on Wednesday, and the number of people admitted every year is about 6,000, and the average number of people in each prefecture is less than 100.
And every year, there are nearly 6,000 talents in each prefecture, and there are more than a dozen in a township on average, but there are only six talents in Jiyuan Township, and it stands to reason that the results are very poor.
But Xuezheng didn't care at all, he really didn't care at all, because Jiang Shangli was there.
Jiang Shangli is the biggest surprise of Xuezheng this time.
A student who answers the top three directly to the school, in the eyes of Xuezheng, is far heavier than a dozen ordinary talents, the former has the hope of becoming a lifter, a tribute or even a jinshi, but the latter may have a mediocre life, and the future and possible achievements of the two cannot be compared together.
Xuezheng, who was in a good mood, looked at the attitude of the children who were reluctant to leave, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't be like this, you are all young, even if you don't win this time, you can continue to participate in the township exam next year, and the results are not bad." These three **** should review the answer sheet, if there is nothing to do, don't come to the township to study. ”
Xuezheng's words made all the students breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, yes, even if they fail the exam this time, who says that they won't be able to do it next year? Besides, there are five talents among the seventeen people, who said that there must be no me?
After figuring this out, coupled with Li Rong taking the lead in leaving, many students said goodbye to Xuezheng one after another, and then walked towards the outside of the township school.
The sun has set outside, and there is still nearly an hour before it gets dark, which is enough for those students who are far away from their hometowns to get home.
Another student came to say goodbye and leave, Xuezheng smiled, and was about to nod in agreement, when a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he asked, "Are you Jiang Weiyuan?"
Jiang Shilang, who was about to retreat, was stunned for a moment, but still replied: "Master Xuezheng, the student is Jiang Weiyuan." ”
Jiang Shilang's name is called Jiang Weiyuan.
Several other students who never left were also stunned, so many students in front of them didn't stop, why did they find Jiang Jiashiro?
"Well, you stay for a while. Xuezheng said with a smile, and the other students also left with each other, and when Jiang Shilang was left, Xuezheng glanced at Jiang Shilang with admiration and said, "How many years have you been studying in the township?"
Feeling that the atmosphere was a little strange, Jiang Shilang replied cautiously: "Three years." ”
"Three years, it seems that you have been diligent in the past three years, and you have not wasted. Xuezheng shook his head, stroked his beard, paused, and said, "I did well in this exam." ”
Jiang Shilang was stunned for a moment, and then his whole body was excited, as if he had been struck by lightning, he trembled slightly, his mouth opened, but he didn't say anything.
It's exciting!
Even Xuezheng said that he did well in the exam, how could Jiang Shilang not realize what was going on? Seven or eight times out of ten he was a Zhongxiu talent!
The law of the Great Zhou prohibits the announcement of the list of talents before the release of the list, but some subtle hints and points are also acceptable.
It took five or six breaths for Jiang Shilang to return to normal, he breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Xuezheng gratefully, and said, "Thank you Xuezheng for teaching." ”
Xuezheng squinted and nodded, as if he said casually: "What is the relationship between Jiang Shangli and you?"
"Liulang?" Jiang Shilang was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and wondered why Xuezheng asked this, but still replied: "Liulang Xijing, he has a good relationship with me." ”
Indeed, I am afraid that in addition to Jiang Dawei's family and the deceased old master, the one who has the best relationship with Jiang Shangli is this Jiang Shilang.
"Well, that's good. Xuezheng nodded and said, "Don't be complacent, go back and study hard, and there will be a government exam in three months." ”
Jiang Shilang nodded, Xuezheng's words confirmed his thoughts, and a burst of ecstasy surged in his heart, he was in Xiucai!
"By the way, while there is still time, have a good exchange with your brother Jiang Shangli, and in three months' time, if my Jiyuan Township can have a good fortune of two people, it will be the best. After speaking, Xuezheng walked towards the library without hurrying.
Behind him, Jiang Shilang was completely dumbfounded, standing in place, both eyes lost focus, and Xuezheng's words were like thunder, shocking him.
Jiang Shilang is not stupid, so he can hear the meaning of learning the truth, and look forward to two people in one course, doesn't it mean that he is now a two-show talent?
And Xue Zheng mentioned Jiang Shangli in and out of his words, didn't he say that Jiang Shangli also won the show?
Doubt, disbelief, shock, ecstasy...... All kinds of emotions swirled in Jiang Shilang's heart, and he bowed to Xuezheng in a daze, and Jiang Shilang walked outside, until he arrived outside, and the whole person had not returned to normal.
Jiang Shilang's father accompanied him to wait outside, and he was also waiting, as well as the ox cart in the village, and learned that Jiang Shilang did well in the exam, and this was the ox cart specially ordered by the patriarch.
"Shiro, I heard that Xuezheng left you behind for questioning, what did Master Xuezheng tell you?" Father Jiang showed a hint of hope in his eyes, considered the wording, and asked cautiously, for fear of getting a disappointing answer.
"Well, it's staying. Jiang Shilang said in a dull voice, the news that Liulang may be a Xiucai has been like a thunderbolt in a sunny day, and he was dizzy, and said according to Jiang's father's words: "Master Xuezheng said that I did well in the exam." ”
Father Jiang was stunned for a moment, and a burst of ecstasy and excitement surged in his heart, and then he asked expectantly, "But you won?"
Jiang Shilang glanced at Xiangxue, leaned on the ox cart, and said, "Dad, before the list, this kind of thing can't be said nonsense." ”
However, seeing that his father was a little disappointed, Jiang Shilang said: "However, if there is no problem, the five hundred copper coins that participated in the township examination should be returned by the township school." ”
Father Jiang wondered, didn't understand why the township society returned back, and sat on the ox cart and thought hard.
Consistent copper coins are 1,000 Wen, which is equivalent to one tael of silver, and four copper coins are converted into one tael of alloy.
Participate in the township examination and the government examination, because this is a big wave of the two checkpoints, every year the candidates are like the carp crossing the river, the amount of answer sheet is very large, in order to avoid the huge cost of the treasury, so each candidate charges a fee of 500 Wen.
Therefore, a family like Jiang Dawei usually waits until Jiang Shangli is not too old to let him participate in the township test.
I am not very old, so I can continue to study in the future, and I am not young, I have read a lot of books, and I have the capital to take exams.
And like Jiang Shilang and Jiang Shangli to participate in the township examination, they generally pay half of their own money, and the clan subsidizes half of the examination fee, of course, the clan will only subsidize three times, if you have not passed the exam three times, and if you want to participate in the scientific examination in the future, then pay for it yourself.
If the township test is a talent in the show, the township will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and the village will also be rewarded with five taels, far more than half a tael of silver for the examination.
The ox cart had gone half the way, and Jiang's father finally figured it out, grinning with bared teeth, and slapped his thick palm on his son's green shirt, and suddenly printed a black slap print.
"Is this true?" Father Jiang asked solemnly.
"Nine times out of ten. Jiang Shilang replied equally seriously, both father and son knew what they were talking about.
Nine times out of ten, that's it, leave a room or two.
"The clan is finally going to show talent!Hahahaha, my son is going to become a talent!" Father Jiang looked up to the sky and laughed, and said excitedly: "Fifth uncle, stop at the small shop in front, I want to treat my child." ”
"Okay!" the old man who drove the car also smiled, and while waving the long whip, he muttered: "The clan has not shown off its talents for some years, and this year is finally hopeful, the patriarch will be very happy to know!"
I'm afraid I won't be able to find the edge, but this time it's two at a time! Jiang Shilang said in his heart, his mouth moved, and in the end he still didn't say anything about Rokuro's exam.
It's not that Jiang Shiro is unwilling to share such good things, but because Liulang has always behaved very mediocre, and I'm afraid not many people will believe it when he says it, so it's better to wait for the list to be released, and then everything will naturally understand.
Chapter 15 There Are Guests
Update time: 2014-12-1911:51:09 Word Count: 2628
After arriving in the village, Jiang Shilang and Jiang's father got out of the ox cart, carried the marinated goods bought from the roadside store, and walked happily towards their home.
As for the old man who was driving the cart, he shouted and drove the ox cart towards the patriarch's house, and the old man felt that this kind of good news should be told to the patriarch as soon as possible.
Jiang Shilang and Jiang Dawei's two families are relatively close, and when they walked back, they could see that Jiang Dawei's family had already turned off the lights, which made Jiang Shilang's intention to visit frustrated, and this idea could only be abandoned.
Soon after arriving home, the patriarch came at night, and a few people who were very interested drank some wine together to celebrate, and Jiang Shilang, who was not strong enough to drink, naturally became dizzy quickly, and went back to his room to sleep after a while.
On the second day, perhaps for others, the afterglow of the township test has not yet dissipated, but for Jiang Shangli, the township test has become a thing of the past.
In his previous life, Haizi had a poem called "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms".
From tomorrow onwards, be a happy person. Feed the horses, chop wood, and travel the world. From tomorrow, care about food and vegetables. I have a house facing the sea and spring is blooming.
For Jiang Shangli, there are no horses to feed, and he has no capital to travel around the world for the time being, let alone facing the sea.
But reading books, practicing calligraphy, and teaching Haizi every day, in this warm spring day, Jiang Shangli feels that he is a happy person.
The bamboo board in his hand shook, ignoring the bitterness on Jiang Hu's face, Jiang Shangli said, "Stretch out your hand." ”
Jiang Hu's mouth was deflated, and he looked like he wanted to cry, but he still obediently stretched out his hand.
"Smack!"
The bamboo board hit Jiang Hu's hand lightly or heavily, and a red mark immediately appeared in Jiang Hu's left palm.
"That sentence is dew into frost, okay, now repeat it. Jiang Shangli was expressionless, looking like a strict teacher.
Jiang Hu rubbed his palms, and then carried his back behind him like a little adult, and after Jiang Shangli finished speaking, he said: "Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate...... The clouds cause rain, and the dew turns into frost. ”
There are ten sentences in total, forty words, although there are some stumbles, Jiang Hu still barely memorizes it.
Jiang Shang was satisfied, but his face was still calm, and he handed Jiang Hu a wooden stick: "Practice your own calligraphy." ”
However, Jiang Hu was young and could memorize forty words, but he might not be able to remember these strokes, so Jiang Shangli wrote these forty words vertically into ten columns one stroke at a time on the beach, and then asked Jiang Hu to copy them in the back.
After practicing for more than a quarter of an hour, Jiang Hu was tired, so he secretly glanced at Jiang Shangli, stuck the wooden stick on the sand, and rubbed his wrist with a bitter face.
"Ahem. Jiang Shang coughed lightly without a trace.
Like a mouse who saw a cat, Jiang Hu immediately picked up the wooden stick, cautiously glanced at Jiang Shangli's back, and then honestly continued to copy the words written by Jiang Shangli.
After writing for about half an hour, seeing that the sun was a little high, Jiang Shangli stopped and took Jiang Hu to clean up the handwriting on the beach.
At this moment, Jiang Yue also finished working, and the three brothers and sisters returned home together, and before they were halfway through the road, the fifth uncle who was driving the car yesterday drove the cow over slowly.
When he saw Jiang Shangli, the fifth uncle shouted and drank the old scalper and asked, "Liulang, why are you still here?"
"Fifth uncle, what's wrong?" Jiang Shangli asked with some surprise.
"Well, your family has a guest, and your second uncle is not at home, and now Shiro is greeting, go back quickly. The fifth uncle admonished, and continued to drive the oxen towards the river.
Jiang Shangli and Jiang Yue were both a little stunned, and they didn't celebrate the New Year's holiday, how could there be guests?
"Go, go back. Jiang Shangli thought for a moment and said.
When Jiang Shangli returned home, he knew the identity of the visitor.
With a veil on his face, Chen Yijin has a relationship with one side, and the one who sits on the side is naturally Song Moran.
Today, Jiang Shangli naturally knows Song Moran's identity, but the thorn in his heart is not so easy to disappear.
Who asked Song Moran to play a song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" to Jiang Yue in front of Jiang Shangli?
Seeing Jiang Shangli returning, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, said a few more words, and found a reason, and took Jiang Yue from the main hall to the backyard, after all, it is better for a man to come forward for this kind of thing.
"I don't know if Master Song is visiting, don't blame it. Jiang Shangli said dryly, with a stiff expression on his face, anyone could see that Jiang Shangli did not welcome Song Moran.
When a student encounters an examiner or invigilator, sometimes it is not appropriate to call him by his or her first name, so he or she can be called a teacher.
However, Song Moran didn't care, but instead set his eyes on Jiang Yue'er behind Jiang Shangli, and looked at it two or three times, and then withdrew his gaze.
Jiang Yue'er also recognized that the seemingly old man in front of her was the one who played a tune to her a few days ago, and when she saw that Song Moran's age was really as the sixth brother said, he was no longer a handsome son, and she was a little disappointed in her heart.
Of course, it's not as unbearable as the sixth brother said, the old ones are about to lose their walk, and they look like they're in their fifties at most.
However, Jiang Yue'er was not rude, and was slightly blessed: "I've seen Mr." ”
Song Moran lost his mind slightly, Jiang Yue'er's fall and generosity made Song Moran's thoughts drift back to the rainy season twenty years ago.
"Ahem...... Chen Yijin coughed lightly twice without a trace, waking Song Moran from his distraction.
Seeing Jiang Shangli's unhappy face, Song Moran didn't see embarrassment on his face, for Song Moran, who had lived for so long, his skin was thick enough to resist Jiang Shangli's gaze.
"Hello girl, see you again. Song Moran nodded slightly, and his looking gaze made Jiang Yue'er's face blush a little.
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty is open, being looked at by a strange man is still very uncomfortable for a woman who has not left the cabinet, even if the other party is older enough to call her father a brother.
Jiang Shangli's face was a little angry, and if he didn't speak, he really treated me as air?!Immediately coughed: "Yue'er, go to the back room." ”
"Hmm. Jiang Yue'er responded, carrying the bamboo basket on her back and was about to walk towards the inner room, her eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of Song Moran's flute, her heart suddenly moved, hesitated for a moment, after all, she couldn't help the ** in her heart, looked up and asked: "Mr. Song, your flute played very well that day, I don't know if you can teach me ......"
A woman's lack of talent is virtue, even in the Great Zhou Dynasty, this is also recognized.
Song Moran was stunned, but Jiang Shangli's face darkened directly, what to teach? Teach "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix"?
"Yue'er!" Jiang Shangli's voice was also a little lower, and he directly interrupted Jiang Yue'er's words: "Go back to the house!"
Jiang Yue'er felt a little aggrieved in her heart, but she didn't refute it, and pulled Jiang Hu towards the back room.
Inside the room, it suddenly became quiet, Jiang Shangli and Song Moran sat opposite each other, no one had the intention of speaking, even the little white fox in Chen Yijin's arms could feel the weirdness of the atmosphere, and stayed quietly in Chen Yijin's arms.
Chen Yijin sat next to him, his eyes looked at Jiang Shangli for a while, and Song Moran for a while, not knowing what he was thinking.
Song Moran looked like an old monk, Jiang Shangli also looked at his nose and nose, and finally Chen Yijin couldn't stand it, knocked lightly on the table, took the cup he had already drunk dissatisfied, and asked, "Hey, Jiang Shangli, do you still have tea at home?"
is unhappy with Song Moran, it doesn't mean that Jiang Shangli will be angry with Chen Yijin, that is not hospitality.
After Jiang Shangli filled Chen Yijin's cup with water, the atmosphere in the room finally became lively, Chen Yijin was not interested in the story between the two men in front of him, and asked with great interest: "Jiang Shangli, congratulations on this township test! Hurry up and say the last two sentences of that poem!"
Jiang Shangli pretended not to know: "What congratulations to me?"
Chen Yijin glanced at Jiang Shangli with disdain: "Who said that after the middle lift, you will finish the unfinished poem in the examination room......?"
"Ahem!" This time it was Song Moran who coughed, Da Zhou Lu forbade this kind of gossip to take a walk in advance, and it was okay to give a small hint in secret, such as Xuezheng hinting at Jiang Shilang, but it was better not to do that if you blatantly reveal the news like Chen Yijin.
Chen Yijin's voice stopped abruptly and rolled his eyes.
