Chapter 0070 - State Trial Opening
Some candidates fainted and fell to the ground, in addition to the two officials, Zhu Chengjun came up to care.
Others see it as taboo and avoid it.
Confucius said to be benevolent, and Mencius said to take righteousness.
The words of the sages are on their lips every day, and they really need to be put into practice...... Hehe...... Easier said than done.
"Poof...... cough ...... "Under Zhu Chengjun's simple rescue, this old candidate woke up slowly.
Every state exam has candidates fainting for various reasons, and the officials have long been surprised.
"Sir, if your body really can't bear it...... Next time. The official advised.
Next time? To put it mildly, this old boy still has a few years to live.
"Old man...... Can you still do ......" The old examinee struggled to get up with Zhu Chengjun's support.
Just this perseverance and perseverance are enough to make people look sideways.
"This gentleman, please sit down and eat some salt water and sweets, relax your mind, you will be well soon, and it will not affect the exam." Zhu Chengjun glanced up and saw that there were still many candidates waiting in line for inspection, and helping others might not waste much time.
"Old man, thank you son."
The old examinee went to the tea stall on the side with Zhu Chengjun's support, and Zhu Chengjun casually threw a dime of broken silver to the tea stall owner and told him to do what he said.
After eating the sweets of salt water and resting for a while, the old candidate's mental state was much better.
Kindness can be given without reciprocation, but the recipient cannot forget.
"The old man's surname is Fan, his name is Jin, and his name is Ji Pu, and he dares to ask his son's surname." Fan Jin stood up and took a deep look.
Fan Jin? Zhu Chengjun smiled lightly, I hope you will take the high school test in the state, otherwise I will be disappointed.
"The boy's surname is Zhu, his name is Chengjun, his name is Hengshu, and he has met Mr. Fan." Zhu Chengjun bowed his head lightly, and the right to return the salute.
Fan Jin waved his hand and said modestly: "Gongzi praises falsely, the word 'sir', I dare not be ashamed." Fan Jinguan and Zhu Chengjun were also preparing to take the exam, and asked: "Is Zhu Gongzi participating in the scientific examination for the first time?" ”
We look like rookies in the science field like this? This Fan Laosan still has some eyesight.
"As Mr. Fan said, it is the first reference for late students." Zhu Chengjun replied truthfully.
Fan Jin saw that Zhu Chengjun did not have half a point of nervousness and helplessness when he participated in the scientific examination for the first time, which was much stronger than he was back then.
"Gongzi is extraordinary, he has this heart at such a young age, and he is ashamed of himself." Fan Jin praised others and degraded herself, and then sighed for a long time, and the worry between her eyebrows was faintly deeper.
Zhu Chengjun saw that the age of Fan Laosan was at least a little older than his father, so he learned the tenacity of learning from him to the old test, Zhu Chengjun was determined to relieve him and relieve the blockage in his chest, in his state, even if he entered the examination room, he would only be carried out. For scholars who are only dedicated to being officials, they can help if they can, just for the sake of his name 'Fan Jin'.
"Brother Fan in his later life is depressed, as if he is trapped by nightmares, it just so happens that he understands the science of dream interpretation a little, if the elder brother can trust the younger brother, you can talk to me, maybe you can help." Zhu Chengjun is talking nonsense, like a magic stick.
Although it is nonsense, it is also a fact, and those who have tried and failed to read have a knot in their hearts.
Zhu Chengjun saw that Fan Laosan's eyes were bloodshot, which was obviously caused by excessive psychological pressure and poor rest before the exam.
Fan Jin shook his head gloomily, with a bitter face, and sighed: "The old man is not afraid of the jokes of the son, this time I went to the county to catch the exam, and met two old farmers on the way, and learned from the two of them that the mountain that I had to pass for the exam changed its name at some point, and suddenly a gust of wind came, and the old floating ticket happened to be blown down to the mountain." The floating ticket is older than the coil, and it has always been collected well, and there is no possibility of losing it, but it was ...... by a gust of wind that day. Alas......"
Just disturbed by such trivial things? It's not that you can't go to the tribute house to sit on the number if you lose the floating ticket, the child is silent, and the strange force is confused, and the landing is 'falling down' is nonsense at all, so why should people keep it secret.
The floating ticket landed and the old mountain was renamed, and Zhu Chengjun faintly felt that the name of the mountain was definitely a taboo for students.
Zhu Chengjun frowned slightly, and asked: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of being down, that mountain is called 'Sun Mountain'?" ”
Sun Shan is the name of a person, the two old farmers look forward to their grandson in a hurry, and it is normal to name the mountain Sun Shan in private, after all, in reality, the place names of many small places come like this, and there will always be people who make wishes, and the mountain will have a spirit.
Fan Jin stroked his forehead and said gloomily: "Zhu Gongzi said in his words." ”
Zhu Chengjun snickered: "The floating ticket fell on the mountain? ”
"Yes." Fan Jin has not yet understood the meaning of Zhu Chengjun's words.
The floating ticket representing the identity of the candidate fell on Sun Mountain, it was on the mountain not under the mountain, why was this buddy's reaction so slow, Zhu Chengjun got up and clasped his fists lightly, and said, "Congratulations to Brother Fan!" This state test is bound to be on the list! ”
"Why did Childe say that?" Fan Jin was stunned.
"On Sun Mountain! Isn't it on the list? Zhu Chengjun explained.
Zhu Chengjun suddenly remembered that 'the last place on the list must be my Sun Shan, and Ling Lang is behind me', a euphemism inadvertently left an allusion that will be passed down to future generations, and later generations often call the nameless person on the list 'Sun Shan'.
"Uh...... That's right! It's the old and mediocre who disturbs himself. Fan Jin slapped her head suddenly.
The knot in his heart was untied, Fan Jin swept away the haze in his chest, turned around and gave Zhu Chengjun a deep bow, and made a big courtesy.
"Haha...... This son...... That's a great solution! At this time, a scholar happened to pass by.
In order to convince Fan Jin, Zhu Chengjun gave the Tsing Yi Xiangshi a dime of silver in advance, bowed down and asked: "Mr. master, how dare the younger generation get an axe, and solve it here...... Can it be worthy of a 'wonderful' word? ”
"The mountain man said two words, and the poor road sent two more words, 'wonderful!' "Xiangshi stroked his beard and head.
Zhu Chengjun saw that Fan Jin instantly became high-spirited, and said in his heart: Fan Jin is really in high school this time, will he stage all kinds of things in "The History of Confucianism"? It's really exciting.
"Mr.'s words of encouragement, old decay is unforgettable, he will be in high school, there will be a retribution." Fan Jin bowed deeply to Xiangshi and said, "This little brother is kind to the old man, and please break it off with the master." ”
Zhu Chengjun hurriedly thanked this Fan Jin brother for his kindness, and said: "Brother, you are the one who gets the chance, the younger brother doesn't have your fate, the fate is not there, how can you tell the fortune?" Aren't you embarrassed sir? ”
"Ho ho ...... What the virtuous brother said was very ......," Fan Jin smiled.
For some reason, Xiangshi was silent this time and didn't say a word.
Zhu Chengjun thinks that this Xiangshi is looking at silver and talking about things, and he doesn't have any real skills, for the sake of him to explain Fan Jin, that corner of broken silver is not a white flower.
Turning around and looking at the few people scattered in front of the Gong Courtyard, the time was almost up, Zhu Chengjun gently waved Xiangshi, and said lightly: "It's time for the juniors to enter the examination room, and I'll visit Mr. another day." ”
Zhu Chengjun and Fan Jin walked into the dragon gate side by side, but saw the hands of the two guards suddenly stretch out, and it seemed that the amplitude of the hand reached out by someone in front of them was too large. Zhu Chengjun understood in seconds, and gently clenched his fist at the official on his side, and a small corner of silver wrapped in paper fell on the heel of the person, and he only needed to move it to collect the silver on the soles of his feet. Seeing that Zhu Chengjun knew the current affairs so well, the gatekeeper bowed his head happily, and he didn't know when the silver was gone, so he rushed to this kung fu, and he couldn't practice it in a few years.
On the other hand, on Fan Jin's side, the official stared at the person tightly, as if he wanted to recognize the whole face.
Seeing this, Zhu Chengjun quickly pushed Fan Jin to his original position with a wrong body, and then repeated the action just now to this officer, who showed an imperceptible smile at Zhu Chengjun, snorted his eyes, and signaled to enter the venue quickly.
The candidates rushed in, and then the three gongs sounded.
"Closed!"
In the Song Dynasty, there were many scholars, and the state and county tribute institutes had become popular.
Don't look at the small size of Zhongli County, the size of the Gongyuan can accommodate three or four thousand people to take the exam at the same time.
Zhu Chengjun looked at the rows of numbered rooms, looking for his own room by number. Just as he walked through the passage, an indescribable smell came to his nose, the stench was unpleasant, Zhu Chengjun immediately covered his nose and slandered himself: Is this the number room or the thatched house!
The layout of the Gongyuan is horizontal, vertical is vertical, and it is not difficult to find a personal examination shed, Zhu Chengjun quickly found his own room, and his position was actually the first row in the center, closest to the examiner.
The benefits of the examination booth close to the examiner are also obvious, clean, not broken, and the same as new, much better than other rooms. Inadvertently, Zhu Chengjun saw someone behind him casting sympathetic glances at him, on the other hand, the candidates in the same row as him sighed. Obviously sitting in the cleanest and best room, but with a sad face, it is simply in the blessing and does not know the blessing.
As soon as Zhu Chengjun sat down, he quickly had the answer in his heart, and made small movements under the eyes of the examiner? Do you want a bright future? Even if there are three urgency, do that indecent action and disrespect to the saint in front of the examiner, and stamp your exam paper in minutes, once the stamped exam paper will be judged as a dirty paper by default, even the splendid article will be put aside, disrespect to the saint first, the examiner will still have the heart to read your paper?
"Alas......" sighed, and Zhu Chengjun soon had the same expression as the candidates sitting in the first row. Zhu Chengjun shouted in his heart, he did his own sin, he didn't enjoy a good life, and he came here to suffer.
"......Shhh Whoop ......"
What kind of sound is this, normal men know it, and before the exam was announced, the brother next door was in a hurry to urinate.
The neighbor is so unbearable, Zhu Chengjun can only hope that he will squat on the toilet a few times, phew! It's Gong Bucket, Gong Respect for the Saint, how can such vulgar words as toilet come out of the mouth of a scholar, it's indecent.
"Ascending water!"
At this time, the official came to Zhu Chengjun with water, with a smiling expression, Zhu Chengjun dared to say that if he didn't give money, he would immediately have another expression. If you really want to offend these disgusting stinky flies, in the Gongyuan this acre and three points of land, they may not know what means to use for you. For a bright future...... Let's put up with it.
Zhu Chengjun smiled and put the two dimes of silver on the tray, made a full set of plays, and did not forget to nod very politely to the officials when he was done, as a sign of gratitude. When he saw the silver, the smiling face of the 'water' official was bright, and he was delighted from the bottom of his heart, Zhu Chengjun checked himself, is it too generous for us to make a move?
Taking advantage of the fact that the exam had not yet started, Zhu Chengjun glanced at his colleagues at the opposite corner, and saw that he was dressed poorly, and the money used to buy water was definitely less, which made the official look displeased, and he didn't give him a good look, and the hand holding the water was unsteady and spilled most of the bowl.
Seeing the 'carelessness' of the officials, Zhu Chengjun was glad that he would come to trouble if he had money in his hands. If the water is really sprinkled on the written examination papers, there will be no doubt that the papers will be dirty, and the future will be ...... And a future?
"Uh......" A desperate scream resounded through the examination room.
Without much thought, everyone could guess that a certain candidate fainted and was carried out of the examination room.
After studying hard and preparing for a long time, I didn't have a chance to get a glimpse of the exam questions, which is really sighing.
Zhu Chengjun's position has a good view, and in a short time, the examiners are all in place.
Several examiners exchanged glances, and then bowed their heads.
Zhu Chengjun knew that the time for the opening of the stump was coming.
"Open the book!"
"Bang dang ......" is another gong.
