Chapter Seventy-One: The Government Examination Begins
The registration for the prefectural examination is similar to that of the prefectural examination.
There are five exams, and the last four are voluntary.
A four-book question and a trial poem.
Because the county government and Tongzhi hall of the West Road Hall of Shuntianfu are all in Wanping City.
Therefore, the government examination shed also followed the county examination.
Jia Cong can be said to be familiar with the road, and he filled in the confession as soon as he came.
Early in the morning, lanterns were lit up to line up, and the examination basket was hung in hand.
Tie Niu and Cao Dahua bought hot steamed buns and cakes.
His basket was full of dendens.
The people who participated in the prefectural examination are not only those who have passed the prefectural examination this year.
There are also those who passed the county test last year, but did not pass the government test, the year before last, and the year before last.......
Anyway, those who meet the conditions can participate, and there are hundreds of people visually.
There are no fewer candidates than the county exam, and it makes people feel pressured to look at.
"Jingzhi, I don't have enough confidence in this pass, I'm afraid I'm going to make a big mistake." Qin Zhong said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter, even if you can't pass the test, you can still accumulate experience, it's better than not taking the test."
Jia Cong gave him encouragement, and how far Qin Zhong could go was mainly up to him.
He doesn't have Jia Cong's more than 20 years of life experience.
The test-taking thinking of the two generations and the foundation of diligent Chinese studies.
Jia Cong usually supports, communicates, and guides Qin Zhong.
He still hopes that Qin Zhong can be a talent, at least to support Qin Ye and Qin Keqing.
Shen Tongzhi preached the general rules, and the search was orderly.
When it was Jia Cong's turn, the cakes, steamed buns, pen, ink, paper, and inkstones in the examination basket were all turned into a mess.
The official took off his shirt and pants, and wanted to take off the innermost pair of dirty pants.
Jia Cong's face was black: "Why don't I take it off myself?" ”
"Hahaha!"
The candidates in line burst into laughter.
But they didn't have to laugh long, and everyone was the same at this level.
"Hey, don't say that the head of the Jia case can't stand it, it's early in the morning, and you don't care about your face.
You also have to take into account this cold and swishing wind, no one can stand it! ”
"That's right! It's all about breaking the rules. ”
"That's it! This is a government test, and it doesn't have to be compared like the township test. ”
Shen Gao seemed to recognize the head of the Jia case, who was in the limelight, and did not deliberately make things difficult.
I went into the examination room to find a seat and sat down, and the cakes and steamed buns were removed and dirty.
In order to prevent entrainment, the official is cheating.
Jia Cong was assigned to the Yangzi table this time, and he frowned: "I can't eat it at all, and it's disgusting to take a test." ”
"Brother Jing, I have clean here." On Saturday, he kindly divided half of his own food.
Jia Cong didn't take it immediately, and asked, "Have they touched it?" ”
He couldn't eat the dusty hands of the servants.
The servants are only in charge of their work, so who cares if you are not clean? People don't care if you live or die.
"No, there are too many people in line, and the search in the back is loose."
Jia Cong nodded and thanked him, took it with both hands, heartfelt warmth, he didn't see the wrong person!
A moment later.
He saw that the big-faced treasure was also coming: Hmm..... Jia Baoyu really passed the retest, and there are still many who rush to take the exam.
It's been a few government exams, although it used to be.
But they are very experienced, and Jia Cong suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
Every exam.
Candidates are not allowed to leave the exam room, but they are allowed to take a break three times a day.
During this period, you can have someone bring food and clean, and you can also go to the toilet under the guidance of a special person.
Scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry, it's not for nothing that he runs a few times to the toilet.
There is no shortage of cheaters, but those who patrol are masters.
But if you behave strangely, you can't escape their eyes.
.......
The proposition of the Shuntianfu West Road Hall in the year of the Guiyou came out: Qi Hunger Chapter.
From the Four Books "Mencius, Wholeheartedly", this chapter is quite long.
The main talk about the famine in Qi country, the land of Qilu.
Later generations generally referred to Shandong, which was also a province where famine was common.
It seems that Shen Gao is menacing, and there is no empty talk about life ideals.
Instead, it goes straight to the point and points to the Confucian disaster relief strategy!
It makes many candidates feel miserable! Another big question!
"Explain famine and disaster relief from Mencius's perspective.
This question is a bit difficult.......
Shen Tongzhi deserves the name of being rigid and square. ”
Jia Cong straightened the paper, he had already experienced a rebellious age.
The edges and corners of the heart have been smoothed, and it is naturally not as impulsive as when he was young.
It's easy to rush to express your opinion!
However, candidates are not allowed to express their opinions in the imperial examinations.
It can only be justified from the perspective of a saint.
Tell a piece of nonsense vividly, as if it were a matter of fact.
Then congratulations, you've made it.
But he's used to planning before he acts.
learned from Liu Zhixian that Shen Tongzhi also likes Fangzheng's plain articles.
After all, the people who have been honed by the big and small exams are in the examination room.
Jia Cong's heart was still, he looked up and saw outside the fence of the examination shed.
A few butterflies fluttered by.
He seemed to have escaped into an ethereal realm, accumulating manuscripts.
The huge examination booth is quiet and quiet, and the needle drop can be heard.
Only the breath of the test takers remained.
Jia Baoyu was a young man, and he couldn't help but make a big discussion.
Thousands of words are written down freely, and I feel very good about myself.
Qin Zhong is a sentence of double thought.
On Saturday, several pieces of manuscript paper were scrapped and rewritten.
Qi Yu and Gu Heng were young and couldn't help but be impetuous.
I wrote a typo in a row, and I started all over again.
Glance at the inside and outside of the shed, and even the errand officers who patrol back and forth inside and outside the latrine.
Jia Cong sat upright, not squinting.
Even if there are candidates on the left and right, they all turn a blind eye without distractions.
The lake pen is dipped in inkstone, and the wrist is a few inches away from the desktop.
Handwriting from top to bottom, right to left:
"Keqing has no way to save the famine, and he will thank the Jin people."
"Fu Renzheng can't do it, and he is hungry.
Does it care? Mencius will be gone. ”
"And the sage is in the human country, and Daolong is ......"
Outside the examination booth.
The three classes of officials perform their duties, standing guard and patrolling.
Since the flourishing of the imperial examination system.
The fight against cheating is ongoing.
As long as there are shortcuts and profits, there will always be people who are willing to take risks.
Those who hand over money to the examiner to buy exam questions and send messages to the latrine.
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, steamed buns, double layers of clothes, carrying paper.
And the ....... written on the belly, on the thighs Repeated bans.
There's even one more dangerous one: shooting it with an arrow.
Therefore, no matter what level of the exam, the precautions are extremely strict.
At least on the surface.
on the passage connecting the street.
Candidates who have submitted their papers continue to come out.
Their faces change differently.
Some are relieved, others are uneasy.
They walked to the teahouse and inn not far away.
Prefectural exam.
Nominally, candidates from one province and several counties.
Shuntianfu West Road Hall.
There are five counties, including Wanping, Daxing, Liangxiang, Fangshan and Zhuozhou.
Therefore, the flow of people is quite impressive!
In the Fang Market, which is close to the examination shed, business is also several times more lively than in the past.
Under a small pergola.
On the square table, there are Tianjin stewed stew, two plates of tofu, and two bowls of noodles.
Tie Niu and Cao Dahua are looking forward to it.
Tie Niu muttered, "Why can't we drop it?" Don't smash the test. ”
The rise of Jia Cong's fame.
Their minions also followed the rising tide and the chickens and dogs ascended to heaven.
Besides, Tie Niu is a close nurse, so he doesn't make big mistakes.
Theoretically, it will take a lifetime, and he is most concerned.
It's Cao Dahua who has no heart and lungs, and only cares about eating and drinking.
There is also a table next to Li Gui, Mingyan, Sweeping Red, and hoeing medicine.
Li Guinai is the son of Mama Li and Jia Baoyu's brother.
is the male leader beside Jia Baoyu, and he is also the oldest.
He kept looking in the direction of the corridor of the examination room, and suddenly saw a person shaking his head and coming out.
Li Gui's eyes lit up, and he said, "It's Second Master Bao who came out, look at that high-spirited appearance, he will definitely do well in the exam." ”
Tie Niu pursed his lips, didn't say anything, and snorted coldly.
Followed by.
Jia Cong also finished the exam.
Jia Baoyu came over first and said with a dejected face: "Dead eight shares!" Rotten eight shares! Stinky eight shares! Grinding to death!
Fortunately, I finished writing, how did you do in the exam, Brother Cong? ”
This tone seems to be annoying, but it is full of the flavor of showing off your might.
Jia Baoyu doesn't hold much grudges, and in the original book, Jia Huan scalded him by pushing an oil lamp.
I don't see how he is, but his heart is not bad, but his temper is spoiled.
Jia Baoyu swore that he would be frank and easily pass the county re-examination this time.
The momentum is like a bamboo, and there is a great sense of competition!
In fact, with his talent, as long as he is willing to work hard.
Not to mention the township hall, the three roads of the county government are very hopeful.
Jia Cong naturally didn't have anything to do with his childish nature, and said casually: "Second brother Lao Bao is worried, reluctantly."
As for the outcome, it is not yet known. ”
Li Gui and Mingyan said that they would go back to the inn to pack up and go back early.
Jia Baoyu was not happy: "It's hard to come out once, I'll also go shopping." ”
I saw that my master was playing tricks again.
Li Gui said softly and hardly: "The second master has to go back quickly, what else are you going to visit?"
The second master didn't see him for a long time, and the old lady and his wife were very worried!
It's been all this time, and it's been okay?
The government sent someone to urge it, and it is only right to go back quickly. ”
"Let's go."
Jia Baoyu couldn't resist the milk brother, and suddenly felt bored.
He thought about it for a while, and knocked the folding fan into the palm of his hand.
Turning around, he said, "Brother Cong, don't you have a nightmare aura?"
Since they all dreamed of Chun Yudi.
Did you dream of Wu Zetian, Yang Guifei, Diao Chan and the like? ”
Jia Cong teased him: "Naturally! ”
Jia Baoyu took it seriously, and said with some jealousy: "Could it be that you are the reincarnation of Li Zhi, An Lushan, and Lu Bu who had an affair with them?" ”
"Well, almost." Jia Cong couldn't help but nod his head with a smile.
What is this kid thinking about all day?
When Jia Baoyu heard this, he left unhappily.
When leaving, he sighed again and again, "How could a beauty choose such a layman"!
It's a grievance for those beauties in the world!
He was dressed in a gorgeous costume, and the psychic jade on his chest glittered in the reflection of the sun.
Speaking of which.
Jia Baoyu is very similar to Zhang Dai in the late Ming Dynasty: good food, good fun, good food and drink.......
Manchu Qing entry.
Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, Shi Kefa and others died of observance.
Zhang Dai was afraid of death and escaped into the mountains to become a hermit.
Qian Qianyi of the Tianwen Sect originally dived and said that the water was cold.
finally surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a minion in one mouth, and called it a smooth slip.
As for the festival between the two: I can only say that everything is right and not right.
Mingyan reminded before leaving: "I heard that Third Master Cong and Luo Xiucai have a holiday, you have to be careful." ”
~~~~~
The sunset reflected the sky, and it was fiery red.
Jia Cong, Wang Hao, Liuliuhe, and Qin Zhong walked along the Lugou Bridge together.
Saturday sighed and said: "After this exam, it's really disappointing to talk about Shiwen again."
Jingzhi, although you must be the first to show talent.
But this time there are five counties, but there are five heads.
What are you going to do about Luo Xiucai? ”
"It's inconvenient for Xiucai to be punished, wait for me to be admitted to the middle school member, and Chen Xuetai will come down.
stripped him of his fame, and immediately said that all his enemies were moved.
beat the drum again to voice grievances, and let the county government arrest him into prison.
What did he do? Is there still a lack of charges? ”
Jia Cong's face was cold and full of solemnity as he spoke.
Of course, the biggest problem is how Shen Gao finalizes the volume.
Can he stand Rokicai's coercion?
What if you don't take Jia Cong?
Wang Hao frowned, thinking about this, "Jingzhi, I will help you in this matter."
Luo Qicai is a scourge in the township, and everyone is punished.
This time, you will take the lead and call on the people.
With the help of Chen Yushi, he doesn't have to worry about him not falling off the horse. ”
"Thank you." Jia Cong nodded solemnly.
"A gentleman is righteous."
Wang Hao smiled elegantly: "Zhou Jianda is my Wanping filial son, since you can help him, why can't I help you?"
At present, there are many schools today, after the Zili Mansion.
The elegance is extraordinary, the article is high, do you have any plans to form an alliance?
Zhao Beidou's Yan Society and Jiang Huajiao's Nanshe in Jiangnan are fashionable.
If you want to form an alliance, you will help each other in the future.
Recruit the talented people of the north and enter my world, it is none other than you. ”
Jia Cong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and a boiling blood rose immediately, but he was forced to press it down again in an instant.
"Besides, everything.... It always has to wait until after the township test.
In the name of lifting people, it is more convenient to act. ”
Tongzhiguan is equivalent to the yamen of the prefect in other places.
It is equipped with general judgments, experience and other officials, and experienced officials are in charge of documents.
Now it is the examination paper handed over and sorted out by the Tongzhi Lord.
There are more papers in the prefectural examination than in the prefectural examination.
Shen Gao hereby summoned Liu Zhixian and the bookstore offices of each room to help.
It is organized according to the geographical names of the five counties.
Shen Gao first looked at the county from the point of view that the rolls in the north were generally not as good as those in the south.
He is a native of Huating, Songjiang, Jiangsu, and was born in Jinshi.
Because the timing of the performance was wrong, it was demoted and retained.
Degraded to Shuntianfu Tongzhi.
The sophisticated eyes of ten lines at a glance read dozens of copies very quickly.
Shen Gao kept shaking his head, it was too bad, much worse than the Songjiang Mansion test.
But he had to admit a few at his discretion, and didn't there be a chicken head among the poor students?
Draw out the relatively better one.
While criticizing, he said: "These two misinterpreted words of the sage, it can be seen that the four books have not been read through and familiarized.
But! Liu Zhixian, how did you admit the county test candidates?! ”
"My lord, maybe it was not playing well on the spot.
The county examination file is copied in the county room, and adults can check it if they have any doubts......"
Liu Hua smiled flatteringly, since he came in.
The smile on his face never stopped, and his face was sour.
At this time, an experience officer tore off his name.
The name is obscured to prevent the examiner from seeing the candidate's name.
So as to bend the law for personal gain, and after review, it can be revealed.
That experience began to be recorded, and he was surprised in a low voice: "Jingxian Shuangjiao also returned with a feather...... It's really out of whack. ”
Liu Zhixian sighed in his heart: "Qi Yu and Gu Heng don't have hope?"
Gu Heng is still the head of the Daxing case.
It seems that the practice of the head of the case must be selected to show talents, and the ...... is about to be broken."
Wanping and Daxing are under the jurisdiction of the West Road Department.
At the time of the prefectural examination.
Qi Yu is Wanping's second!
Gu Heng is the first in Daxing!
But who would have thought that Shen Tongzhi had a strict style and was a southerner.
Looking down on the rolls in the north, the Shuangjiao of Jingxian County was defeated one after another.
When Liu Zhixian was secretly breaking out in a cold sweat.
Shen Gao coldly threw down a copy: "Depose the hundred schools and respect Confucianism."
This guy just talks about Lao Zhuang's learning and defiles the saint!
Let's wait until next year to take the test! ”
The experience unraveled the paste, and the first one was the word "Jia".
Liu Hua sighed in his heart, and changed color and said: "It's bad, how could Jia Cong make such an unclassy mistake?" ”
