Chapter 170: Examination (I)
And after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jia Huan calmed down, and the entire Jia Mansion was not allowed to disturb Jia Huan.
Because the examination is approaching, the examination is held in February every year, and it is divided into three sessions and one session every three days.
The first session was held on the 9th day, the second session was held on the 12th, and the third session was held on the 15th. The three test items, four books, five words and eight rhymes, five scriptures and questions, are the same as the township test.
The test is approaching, and the entire Jia Mansion is preparing for the Jia Huan test.
Well, in fact, there is not much to prepare, just prepare some items for Jia Huan to enter the examination room.
However, Jia's mansion is up and down, except for Jia's mother and wife, the rest do not care about masters or slaves.
When everyone passed in front of Tingfeng Xuan's door, they had to hold their breath and be more careful, lest they disturb the third master of Huan to study hard.
At this time, Jia Huan also got the information of the two examiners.
The chief examiner of the examination is called the "president", and is generally served by the cabinet scholar or the six scholars.
The same examiner is the house official, which is served by the officials of the Hanlin Academy, a total of 18, called "18 room officials". The housing officer is in charge of the papers, and the president is in charge of the examination and decides on the personnel to be admitted.
The examiners of this subject are Zhu University Scholar and Cheng University Scholar, Zhu University Scholar is called Zhu Shouli, and Cheng University Scholar is called Cheng Zhiren.
Soon, the Jia family collected the articles of the two scholars and sent them to Jia Huan.
After seeing the articles of the two scholars, Jia Huan couldn't help frowning slightly.
Because these two scholars are the old school, they advocate the old ways, and resolutely reject all new things.
Their assertion is completely contrary to Jia Huan.
Fortunately, I knew the preferences of the two scholars before the exam and saw their anthology.
Otherwise, I am afraid that it will be difficult to pass the exam, and even if I do, I will not be able to get a good ranking.
Time passed unconsciously, and soon it was the eighth day of the first month of February.
On this day, Jia Huan got up early, and as for how Jiafu prepared all kinds of festive breakfasts and all kinds of send-off pomp, there was no more than Xiao remembered.
Not long after, Jia Huan was sent to the Tribute Academy.
After Jia Huan left, Aunt Zhao inserted three sticks of incense in front of the Bodhisattva statue in her house, and knelt on the ground to worship.
"Bodhisattva bless, bless me Huan'er high school champion! If she really succeeds, the believer will reshape the golden body of the Bodhisattva! Bodhisattva bless! Bodhisattva bless! ”
In Mrs. Wang's Buddhist nunnery, Mrs. Wang sincerely knelt on the futon and prayed: "Bodhisattva bless, bless my concubine who is not in this subject." He was young, and it didn't do him any good if he got it too early. In another thirty or twenty years, he will be able to stand up. ”
Mrs. Wang is not really a bodhisattva, and she is not really good to Jia Huan.
It's just that in the first few Jia Huan exams, she also prayed to the Bodhisattva, but every time it didn't work.
This made Mrs. Wang suspect that prayer is a bad spirit. The Bodhisattva is originally very compassionate and compassionate, and when she prays for others to be bad, the Bodhisattva will most of them ignore it.
Therefore, this time Mrs. Wang came up with a good idea, and she prayed for Jia Huan's good reason. I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it.
If any concubine really waits for thirty or twenty years and then gets into the middle school, the family property will be divided at that time, and which concubine will be older, it will not matter.
The process of the meeting test is generally the same as that of the township test, which is to enter the venue one day in advance and postpone the appearance one day later.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, I got up early and the weather was very cold.
Fortunately, Jia Huan wore a finch gold fur, this top-quality fur, worthy of being made of peacock feathers, was very warm, and Jia Huan did not feel cold.
However, there are some children from poor families, although their clothes are thick, but they are still difficult to resist the cold wind, and they shiver in the wind.
After working for most of the day, Jia Huancai went through various inspections and entered the examination room.
Next, you have to wait patiently in the exam room for half a day and a night, and wait for the next day before the first exam will be held.
In the evenings, the weather gets colder and colder.
Fortunately, this time Jia Huan also brought a large mattress with a money python, so he would not feel cold at night.
Until the morning of the ninth day of the second day, the pre-deposited answer sheets and the question sheets printed with the test questions were distributed.
Jia Huan picked up the test questions and looked at them, and this time, he found a surprise again.
The first question is asked: Ambition and benevolence.
And this topic was made by a bull man in the Ming Dynasty.
This bull man is Wang Shouren, a Confucian master and the founder of Xinxue.
This person is known as Confucius, Mencius, and Zhu Xi as King Confucius, Mencius, and Zhu Xi.
This article written by Wang Shouren is very good, and it happens to be recited by Jia Huan, and it has not appeared in this world.
Next, Jia Huan wrote quickly on scratch paper.
Of course, it can't be exactly word for word, and there are always a few revisions, which are obviously after some revisions.
After the revision, Jia Huan carefully wrote this article into the test paper.
A saint has a master in his heart, and he has the power to determine his heart and virtue.
Husbands and people have a heart to the Lord, and they are not confused by their own interests. When I am a human being, when I am dead and alive, I only see that his desire is not ashamed in my heart, and what compassion is there for me? This master is the world's unambitious and unkind. Therefore, it is revealed.
Therefore, it is revealed. If you say: Things in the world are impermanent, and life and death are very important. It is inherently difficult to avoid it, and it is necessary to survive to harm the benevolent; There are also those who see danger and give orders, and kill those who become benevolent, which is the reason for decision, and those who are easily confused by perseverance. I have taken it from the people with lofty ideals!
……
This article was written, and Jia Huan made up his mind.
In the next few test questions, Jia Huan didn't have such good luck.
However, these articles, for Jia Huan at this time, are not a problem at all.
However, the next article will have to be carefully pondered.
There are three days left or right, but there is no need to rush.
Next, Jia Huan turned on the stove and started to make a fire to cook.
After eating, making tea again, resting, and drinking hot tea, Jia Huan continued to work on the following topics.
The first test took three days, which was completely enough for Jia Huan.
Soon, three days passed, Jia Huan handed in the papers, and then followed the people who handed in the papers together and walked out of the examination room.
After leaving the examination room, he only had less than a day of rest before he had to enter the examination room again.
Jia Huan got into the carriage, and when Jia Huan entered Jia's mansion, the maids and maids he met along the way all respectfully saluted and called the third master.
Unconsciously, Jia Huan's status in Jiafu is getting higher and higher, and faintly, its majesty has surpassed Baoyu.
As soon as she returned to Tingfeng Xuan, Qingwen, Caiyun, and Xiao Jixiang, the three little girls, hurriedly greeted her.
"Slave maid wishes the third master the champion of high school!"
Jia Huan laughed, played Xiao Jixiang's brain, and said: "If you don't learn and don't have skills, this is the way to try!" Even if he is the first in high school, it is just a huiyuan. ”
"However, if the third master wins this time, and then wins the first place in the palace examination, then it will really be the champion."
Xiao Jixiang asked angrily: "Third Master, I didn't say it alone, why did you only play me?" ”
Qingwen and Caiyun ran away when they heard the words, and warned: "Xiao Jixiang, you wait, you have a lot of good." ”
Jia Huan smiled: "You two big ones, you can't bully her little one." ”
