Chapter 22 Entrance Exams
Jiang Jin turned back uncertainly.
The woman in front of the door, wearing a loose flower Ruyi cloud smoke skirt and a bun of hair, was also looking at her.
After being released from confinement in advance, her eyebrows were full of joy, but she couldn't hide the tiredness in her eyes.
But this mean look still made Jiang Jin's heart really annoyed, and he just shouted respectfully helplessly, "Auntie." ”
The appearance of Jiang Wei's clan was unexpected by Jiang Jin.
But it also proves the voice in her heart even more.
Entrance exams can be dangerous.
But this is the road she has to take.
The examination level of the Dayan Dynasty was a five-level system of scientific examination, township examination, general examination, palace examination and Shujishi examination.
Among them, the "scientific examination" is not the first-level examination that must be passed to participate in the imperial examination, but it is the fastest to obtain the qualification for the township examination.
It stands to reason that the real scientific examination should start with the township examination.
There are three ways to qualify for the Township Examination.
First, the students of the country, the students of Fuzhou County.
Second, those who have not entered the Confucian profession need to be recognized by the government and obtain the Chinese style of scientific examination.
Third, those who have not entered the stream and have no money, food, etc.
The first path took too long, and the third she simply didn't fit.
Therefore, Jiang Jin chose the second way, to participate in the scientific examination, that is, those who passed the county examination in February, the government examination in April, and the hospital examination in parallel, became a Chinese-style person in the scientific examination.
Chinese-style students will be sent to county schools or government schools to study, and only those with excellent grades will be awarded the quota of Guozijian.
In other words, if she wants to enter the Guozijian, she needs to get a head of the court.
Today's entrance examination for Shanju Academy is just the beginning, and it is not even a stepping stone to the threshold of the imperial examination.
You can't be defeated today.
"Brother Jin has read so many books, I have to work hard today." Jiang Weishi pinched the handkerchief, and walked proudly but not timidly, "But you must not live up to everyone's expectations of you." ”
"Especially your uncle, he had an accident with the project yesterday, and he left in a hurry and didn't forget to ask me to take care of you."
The word "care" made her bite hard.
fell into Jiang Jin's ears and turned into a yin and yang weirdness, but Jiang Jin was not annoyed.
This aunt is probably angry with her mother's dowry.
It took a long time to suffer, and I suffered a big loss, and in the end I wanted to fight for a bunch of "dead things".
But what she cares about is whether something happened to her uncle and whether it has something to do with the capital.
pity
Uncle won't tell her this.
"With my aunt's good words, my nephew will definitely play well today."
Jiang Wei nodded, and waved his hand behind him, and Mama Gu stepped forward with the food box, and opened the lid neatly, revealing the neatly stacked Dingsheng cake inside.
It's red, soft, and has a glutinous rice fragrance.
I just don't know if it's sticky bean paste or a deadly poison inside.
"Brother Ling has used it before he goes out, they are all a family, and I am not a person who favors one over the other."
Having said that, it would be rude for Jiang Jin to refuse.
She raised her eyes to see the calculating red mole between Jiang Wei's eyebrows, but she still accepted it happily.
With her sincere thanks, Qingshan also stepped forward to take the food box.
"Alright, don't miss the hour."
After Jiang Wei finished speaking, he took Mama Gu into the carriage.
But no matter how Jiang Jin looked at Mama Gu, she felt that something was wrong.
This person has always been steady in doing things, and he loves to be the master's idea, so taciturn today, it must be Jiang Wei's explanation of something.
"Cousin, this cake was made by my aunt this morning, her craftsmanship is not good, please bear with me."
Jiang Jin came back to his senses, and it turned out that the indescribable feeling of exhaustion was due to getting up early to make pastries.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "It's okay, get in the car." ”
"Cousin, please."
Jiang Ling took a step back, and Jiang Jin didn't give in and stepped on the wooden bench and got into the carriage.
The carriage was covered with thick and soft cushions, lit with good-smelling soothing incense, and a charcoal brazier was placed in the middle, which made the whole space warm.
Jiang Jin couldn't help but "tsk", this is the first time I have seen her as a person under the fence.
Small is smaller.
But!
It's better than her who leans on her legs when she travels on weekdays!
The carriage swayed and set off, and this sense of disparity made her feel even more strange in her heart.
It's nice to have money.
It's good to have it.
It's not like she even struggles to hold the binding.
The hand touched on the mat, delicate and soft and not pricked the hand, the same as her quilt.
Her family also had clothes made of good materials, but they were all old things, and as she grew older, she couldn't wear them anymore.
A-Niang simply dismantled the clothes and spliced them into a quilt cover, although life was unsatisfactory, but fortunately, she could sleep comfortably.
And most of what she wears is changed from her father's clothes, and the styles and patterns are outdated.
Their family's money is carefully used for food, and A-Niang thinks that only by eating well can she have a good brain, so she suddenly changes her tricks.
The Yamaju Academy is a residential system, and there will be two days off a week.
If she wasn't at home, A-Niang wouldn't even be willing to eat.
It's one thing to pick the north of the city to the surface, and it's also urgent to change the way of doing business.
We can't continue to make petty fights.
She's going to make a big one.
A few days ago, Aoyama had already sent Aono to the north of the city, but I don't know how far it has got.
Jiang Jin twisted the jade pendant, thinking about things in his heart, and arrived at the place unconsciously.
"Madam, two young masters, the Mountain House Academy has arrived."
Jiang Jin lazily lifted his eyelids, and saw Jiang Ling closing his eyes as if to cheer himself up, and when he opened his eyes again, he was blazing.
The two got out of the carriage in turn, and they were both shocked by the scene in front of them.
The Mountain Residence Academy, concise and concise, is built in the mountains and is a suitable academy for living.
But when I actually arrived at the door and saw the academy surrounded by green mountains and green waters, I realized that the previous explanation was too simple.
The mountain gate is a heavy fancy type, the plaque in the middle is written "Mountain Residence Academy" four big characters, the knot is beautiful, the law is orderly, and the style of writing is elegant and thick.
The ancient trees outside the weeping flower door are towering, the branches and leaves are sparse, extremely elegant, after entering the door, the trunk of the forest trees next to the road also has a waist thickness, although it is winter, it is not lonely, it is really a quiet place to read and nourish nature.
But here it was built later.
Originally, the mountain residence academy was a righteous school, and it was held in the mountains, although the scenery was secluded, but the terrain was too remote and steep, and it was difficult to study.
In order to invite the great Confucian Song Lian out, the county squire moved the new school site to the flat place of the left branch.
It took three years and tens of thousands of taels of silver to build such a academy.
Originally, Song Lian didn't come out of the mountain, but later I don't know what tricks the mountain chief used to invite him out.
So these years.
Each season, the entrance exams are attended by a large number of people.
If you can't pass the exam, most of them will be like Jiang Ling, who will first study in a private school and come to participate in the quarterly exam as soon as the time comes.
Therefore, along the way, many people greeted Jiang Ling and wanted to go together.
But after seeing Jiang Jin on the side, he gave up this idea again.
For fear of being contaminated with Jiang Jin's bad luck.
Jiang Jin doesn't care.
Jiang Ling didn't move, he didn't think that his cousin, who had been idle all day, could pass this exam.
Coming with my cousin today, it's just like my grandmother said, the whole cousin is just thinking about it.
