111 Exams
The imperial examination has been developed for hundreds of years, and now it has entered a relatively mature state, and the imperial examination system of Nanyu is different from that of the previous dynasty.
In the previous dynasty, it was like this, the autumn was the township examination held by the provinces, and the examination was lifted, and the spring was the national examination of the people to the capital, and the examination was the tribute, and the tribute was admitted to the palace to accept the emperor's examination.
After the palace examination, the top three entered the first class, the second class jinshi, and the third class with the jinshi, like the little fat man Tang Guo, he felt that he could enter the top three is good.
Nanyu on the other hand, they took the spring test to raise people, and the autumn test to pay tribute, and the others were not much different from the previous dynasty.
The conditions of the examination room are extremely poor, and the small board room where the candidates live is cold in winter and hot in summer, cramped and cramped, and is only suitable for men below 1.65 meters.
Qin Zhanying's examination room was the most partial, there was no one except the other side, he thought, at this glance, he knew that no one from the Qin family had ever lived in this broken house, and I was afraid that he didn't even come here to take a look.
His mother told him that the height of the men of the Qin family is okay, Emperor Kailong is a man on the other side of Shanlu Road, he has not eaten and drunk well since he was a child, his nutrition is worrying, and he is still hunched back when he is an adult, and he is still two meters faster when he stands up, and it is estimated that it is higher if he is not hunchbacked, and now most of the Qin clans are taller.
After the ruler built something, he did not personally review it.
Qin Zhanying kept this incident in mind, he was more than 1.7 meters, he was considered an upper-average height among men, and he was very uncomfortable to live in, so he could only sit and write articles.
Sitting opposite him, a tall man, a middle-aged man who looked like he was in his forties, saw a young man like Qin Zhanying, he showed a friendly look, but because of the order of the examination room, he didn't make a sound, he only tried to lower his body, and after seeing the test paper coming down, he began to ponder.
The first subject was naturally extracted from the Confucian classics, but the excessively handsome young man did not think twice, his pen was flying, and his body did not even use straw paper, and he began to write directly on the noisy page.
Most of the candidates who can go to Dajing are not parallel goods, and middle-aged candidates occasionally raise their eyes to look, but they only sigh in their hearts, in the end, they are young people, frivolous and confident, and they must be very famous in their hometown.
Qin Zhanying: I don't have a good name, but I am the leader of the textbooks in my hometown.
Because Qin Zhanying was going to stay in the examination room for three days, Qiu Yu did not stay at the entrance of the examination room all the time, but went to the vegetable market in Xishi, as the only vegetable market in Nanyu that can definitely not have a vegetable shop, this is also a rare vegetable market that Qiu Yu is willing to go in and visit when she goes out.
Meisha introduced: "I used to stay in Dajing for a year, and the powerful and wealthy here all had Zhuangzi people send vegetables, eggs, meat, and rice to the mansion, but it is not easy to live in the capital, so the officials who do not have a deep foundation still have to go to the vegetable market to buy goods." β
Qiu Yu was not surprised: "It seems that the land around the capital has been taken away by the powerful. β
Mei Sha smiled bitterly: "Otherwise, why is the emperor constrained, those lands are not only fenced, but there are also a large number of people who seem to protect the courtyard but are actually private soldiers, the number is not small, but the power is not small, a few years ago, Daze cleaned up three of the four pavilion elders, and the emperor also cooperated to clean up the three private soldiers in the capital, but the Gu family and the magnates of the non-pavilion old family were not damaged." β
If these people don't have nursing homes, okay, then the law and order must be done well, right? What if a strong man breaks into a private house, they can't be killed.
Emperor Kailong wanted to treat these people at that time, and the magnates (including the poor brothers who started with Emperor Kailong) said that they should be good, but in fact, they turned their heads and asked people to pretend to be strongmen into their own courtyards, rape and kill their concubines and concubines, and then reported to the officials and cried, saying that the patrol and arrest department was incompetent, resulting in the abolition of the private soldiers of each family.
Yes, even the military attachΓ©s and nobles who should have been trusted by Emperor Kailong the most, were actually corrupted by the civilian clique, and those people were like maggots on tarsal bones, after discovering that a new force had the hope of winning the world, they immediately attached themselves to it and pulled it into their own interest groups through bribery, marriage, etc.
They are the eternal rotten sores of this land.
After Qiu Yu heard these lawsuits, she couldn't help but feel a pain in Yingying's head: "What a big mess." β
Meisha: "It's not that I'm forced to a certain role, and I may not invite our master to succeed him." β
Meisha's psychology is also very interesting, he actually still thinks of himself as a person from Daze's side, and in Ze, he only recognizes one Ying character.
The people that Ying Ying brought to Yu were people who only knew Ying characters and might not be able to convince Lu Xiaoxuan, and female official groups such as Wei's mother, who were naturally close to the empress because of their gender, were left over there because of Lu Xiaoxuan's ability to quickly subdue them.
Because Ze has always taken overseas expansion as a national policy, Qiu Yu is very suspicious that Australia, North America, and South America will be defeated by the Women's Army in the future...... Aunt Lu had already trained a female army of 2,000 people on hand, and now she is still expanding the army!
The mother who did not save fuel gave birth to a son who was even less fuel-efficient.
Qiu Yu has been following Ying Ying for so long, she has an understanding of the deep meaning behind her arrangement, and she also admires it in her heart, a fourteen-year-old child, who is still in junior high school in the twenty-first century, Qin Zhanying dares to take over a giant mess like Nan Yu, and can scavenge a group of strongmen and suppress it, what a bull.
"It's just that the body is not good enough, and you need to make up for it." Qiu Yu squatted down and asked a vendor who still didn't look very tall after he squatted, "What do these chickens and ducks usually eat?" Are you looking for something to eat in the pond in the field? Do you feed bud grain rice bran or not? How big is this? β
Qiu Yu picked and chosen, asked for an old duck, a big rooster with his head held high, all of them were the best and fattest and strongest of all genders and ages, and brought it back, first toss the chicken, cut the neck and bleed, and then scald off the hair with boiling water, and cleaned it cleanly.
The chicken gizzard is very fragrant when it is fried directly with sauerkraut, the chicken blood and chopped green cabbage leaves are cooked together in soup, the quality of Dajing's chicken is naturally not as good as that raised in Wenchang County, Qiongya Island, and the taste of white cut is definitely not good, then take the wine to burn, the alcohol will volatilize in the process of burning, leaving only a strong aroma.
Feiyun, who came over, said, "The master likes spicy food. β
Qiu Yu complained: "Heavy oil, heavy salt, heavy spicy, he is already in poor health, and if he uses spicy energy, it will be bad in case of laryngitis." β
Qin Zhanying's greed from childhood to adulthood caused inflammation of the tonsils in her throat, and then she had a fever so many times that Qiu Yu didn't want to talk about him.
After that, spread a plate of egg minced meat cakes and put the food in a box, Qiu Yu walked to the back door of the examination room, knocked on it, and someone wearing official uniforms came over, this is the emperor's inner palace four-grade guard, Bai He, who was once one of the top ten swordsmen in the rivers and lakes, is a fifty-year-old man, and he is usually in Luanyi
Wei Li is the leader and guards the emperor, and this time he actually came to the examination room in person.
Seeing Qiu Yu, Bai He was very polite: "Qiu Shilang." β
Qiu Yu: "I have resigned from the position of the squire of the household department of Zeguo, and His Royal Highness is going to Yu, and I am going to make him a subordinate official of the East Palace. β
Bai He: "That's also a colleague. β
Qiu Yu: "I'll send a meal to His Highness, I'm afraid he won't be used to eating in it." β
Bai He: "The brothers have already prepared a meal for His Highness, but the old family must be more palatable, so I will send it over." β
At this time, Qin Zhanying's voice came from the side: "No need to mention it, I'm eating outside." β
When the two looked at it, they saw Yingying's dark face, and Qiu Yu was puzzled: "Ah, what's wrong with you?" β
He wasn't surprised that this kid could run out, after all, in the examination room, after writing the papers, he put the curtain at the door under the cover and pretended to take a nap, and then ran out with the light skills of the innate master, and the literati next to him could find out that there were ghosts.
Qin Zhanying: "Find a thatched house." "He wasn't used to the commode in the exam room.
Bai He: "I'll send you there." β
Qin Zhanying: "It can't be a dry toilet, right?" β
Bai He: "This ...... Oh, yes. β
Qin Zhanying is very able to endure hardships, but he is also a thief when conditions permit, for example, he resolutely does not use dry toilets, and there has been a record of not wanting to go to the toilet outside, so he only drinks clear porridge and rice soup for five consecutive days to avoid going to the thatched house, which is quite magical.
Qiu Yu understands him very well, because he can't stand the aqua toilet either...... That thing is a bit anti-human to him, but Aunt Lu is said to have grown up in the countryside in the 70s when she was a child, and later went to Africa to mingle, and she can adapt to an environment that is more extreme than a dry toilet.
Qiu Yu sighed: "The yard I bought in the capital is not far away, and there is a flush toilet there. β
Qin Zhanying disappeared immediately, and Bai He looked at his back and was shocked: "Your Highness's light skills can be listed among the top ten in the world!" β
Qiu Yu: "No, his father-in-law is the number one master in the world, the first thief in the rivers and lakes also made him a horse boy, a bunch of light masters rushed to open a small stove for him, and then there was an urge to go to the toilet, Bolt could only eat ashes behind him." β
Ever since she found out that Lu Kong was the kind of ruthless person who was eighty or ninety years old and could break ten seconds without the blessing of internal strength, Qiu Yu had always suspected that Aunt Lu, who was now in the prime of life, might be able to break the body for nine seconds.
What is the speed of a leopard, the strength of a bear, and the eyes of an eagle! Lean back .jpg
Bai He: "Bo, Bo what?" β
Qiu Yu went back with the box of vegetables again, Qin Zhanying had lunch in the courtyard, and then floated back to continue the exam with light skills.
But this person has a good bottom line, and he resolutely doesn't use his terrible eyesight and light work to cheat, after all, Yingying's classmate is too good, he can be on the list even if he writes with his feet.
Qiu Yu specially asked Ying Ying for the articles he wrote all the way to Beijing to prepare for the trial, as well as the outline of the review system he compiled himself, and then he made a secret book for the imperial examination and sold it to the bookstore.
The funny thing is that because the thatched house inside the examination room is too simple, she will try for three days, and every time Yingying wants to go to the toilet, she has to float out with light skills, and then run 1.5 kilometers to reach Qiu Yu's yard with light skills.
However, except for the matter of going to the toilet, Qin Zhanying refused to compromise, and did not engage in privileges at other times, meditating on the thin white-washed bedding at night, enduring the cramped and cramped, rotten light, and the night wind blowing outside the house.
For the native Qiongya Island baby, the night in Dajing is already quite cold, Yingying didn't say that he wanted more quilts, in short, except for the thatched house, he also made Baihe secretly impressed.
At the end of the three-day exam, Qin Zhanying was finally able to get out of the examination room justifiably, stretched her limbs and moved, threw the small burden on her body, and calmly lined up to leave the examination room.
And, of course, Sun Zizhen.
Facing Sun Zizhen's expression as if she had seen a ghost, Qin Zhanying gave her a cold smile and strode out of the examination room.
Qiu Yu spread his arms, and generally speaking, every time he did this, Ying Ying would step on him very cooperatively, or directly kick him on the waist.
Qin Zhanying was stunned when she saw Qiu Yu, and then naturally opened her arms and hugged Qiu Yu, and then held his hand and bumped his shoulder, but unfortunately due to the height problem, the small shoulder only touched Qiu Yu's chest in the end.
When hugging, the aroma born from taking Caoxian Baba also seeped into Qiu Yu's nose.
Then the child complained coquettishly: "I haven't taken a bath for three days, I stink, and I want to take a bath." β
Qiu Yu: "Yes, yes. β
The Hundred Flower Bath is outdated! Early this morning, in order to break out of the future of not losing to his mother and brother, Zhang Shao, who came over, took it personally, and took a few medicine children and apprentices to boil a few large pots of medicinal herbs, mint, cicadas, aloe vera and other things that are good for the skin, not boiled with water, but boiled with milk.
"When you go back, you can wash your hair while taking a bath, massage your head, shoulders and neck with essential oils, and get your nails trimmed."
Qin Zhanying: "Brother Yu, I still want you to help me dig out my ears." He likes the rustling sound in his ears when he picks his ears, but unfortunately Qiu Yu strictly requires him to only pick them once a month, for fear that digging too much will affect his hearing.
Qiu Yu: "Arrange the arrangement. β
People will inevitably be forced to develop various life skills in ancient times, he will be able to massage children, ear cleaning and help people wash their hair is no problem, Qiu Yu will even make ancient hair dyes to help people dye their hair, but unfortunately the materials are too primitive, and the maintenance time is not long......
Qin Zhanying: "Fix your sideburns again, I have too much broken hair in front of me, blocking my eyes." "The king of hair volume is also troubled.
Qiu Yu only refused to compromise on this matter: "No! As long as your mother and I are alive for a day, you are not allowed to move your hairline! βοΌοΌοΌ.
