Chapter Ninety-Six: The Township Examination Begins
The book society holds regular gatherings.
Jia Yun didn't stay much.
After collecting the money, he left with the people who carried it.
The second is in the left room.
Wang Hao, Liuliuhe, and Zhang Xian came.
Wang Hao drafted the charter: "Jingzhi, the covenant of the Lanling League."
Except for the two things you said, 'for the sake of the people and for the merits.'"
Do you want to add more? β
Jia Cong groaned: "You are the deputy alliance, and these two items are temporarily the core.
No, I don't think anyone will refute it.
The people are in front, and the people are also meritorious.
Benefiting others and benefiting oneself, with clear cause and effect, is the best policy.
As for the Lanling League, there should be rules and regulations.
It can be slowly added, decreased, and modified.
As the number of people increases, make another plan. β
"The scientific expedition is imminent, and Jingzhi is also ready to go."
On Saturday, he kindly reminded and discussed for a while, waiting for the two of them to go out.
Wang Hao hesitated, thought about it and said euphemistically: "Words, meritorious service, and virtue are what my generation wants."
I heard that there is a young lady in the Qin family, who used to be your nephew and daughter-in-law.
Li Zhen's lessons from the past are not far away, Jingzhi must not go astray......."
Li Zhen is regarded as one of the outliers of the Northern Ming Dynasty.
At that time, he had a heart-to-heart relationship with a widow in Hu Guangmacheng.
Be affectionate, stop courtesy, and chant poetry.
But this matter spread, this era of Cheng Zhu Lixue cannibalism.
This incident became one of the pretexts for the enemy to impeach Li Zhen.
Li Zhen was imprisoned and died in prison.
"I'll take notice."
Jia Cong sighed, although his face was expressionless.
But I am really disgusted with these rituals that deliberately bind people!
Meng Ziyun: Don't wait for the orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker.
Those who drill holes and peep at each other, and follow each other over the wall.
Parents and people are cheap.
Three into a row of west houses to the north of the room.
You Shi pulled his hair in a bun again and combed it tightly.
Makeup eyebrows, cloud shoulders, to the backyard patio to wash the clothes by himself.
Huang Junlang and Kim Hee-choi ignored it with interest and didn't bother with anything.
You could have gone back to her parents' house.
But the You family lost the support of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong.
Relying solely on the gifts from Jia Zhen and Jia Rong that You Lao Niang, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You originally received.
At most, it will be supported for half a year.
Tie Niu sent jujubes, pears, apricots, and peaches, and Xiao Qing'er also followed into the outer room.
You Shi was surprised: "What a fresh fruit." β
"Qing'er was called by the third master to serve, and she was willing to do it herself.
The girl was lonely, so she followed the grandmother. β
Iron Bull explained.
Qing'er saluted obediently, and the girl grew up a lot, exquisite.
The originally green face is getting more and more open, and she is a big girl.
Listened to the words of the Iron Bull.
You suddenly thought of the silver butterflies, and was speechless for a long time.
And I don't know what Jia Cong's move means.
You Shi came back to his senses and grabbed a handful of copper coins from the kang to reward Tie Niu and Qing'er.
Smiled and asked, "Has your master eaten it?" He's so good to you. β
"Hey, that's."
The iron cow chick nodded like a peck of rice: "My master's good temper."
In the sky and on the ground, there is no second one, which is Bao Erye.
On weekdays, they lose their temper from time to time, smash cups, play tea, smoke and hoe medicine. β
You Shi laughed and said, "What did your grandfather eat?" β
"Sour plum soup, cabbage, red dates."
Tie Niu and Qing'er replied in unison.
They were stunned for a moment and laughed again.
"You two go out and wait."
At this time, Jia Cong's scarf fluttered the curtain and came in.
Tie Niu and Qing'er responded and retreated.
Seeing this, You Shi got up and gave a salute jokingly.
She wasn't a person who loved to be restrained.
"Sister-in-law ......"
Jia Cong hasn't finished yet.
You Shi preemptively said: "You still call me sister, now there is no such relationship." β
"Okay."
Jia Cong paused, sat down opposite after speaking, and muttered: "She is willing to send Qing'er here."
She was alone, and approached.
At least I'll take care of it, sister-in-law...... Belch.
Big sister is not a person who treats people harshly!
There is no need to register with the government to sign contracts with each other.
I think it's a disservice to your reputation if you stay here for a long time.
No one else knows about me saving you, so don't worry. β
You Shi pursed his lips and wanted to say something.
Jia Cong continued: "When I finish the scientific examination and the township examination, I will not be successful or not.
I'll think of a way for you to make a living, and find another house.
Or you go home ......"
The last sentence came out, Jia Cong thought about it and felt that it was wrong.
If You Shi was willing to go home, he wouldn't come with him.
How so......?
You will not hold back, but it will not be useful to him.
It's enough to repay the kindness, and the night is long and dreamy.......
After all, You Lao Niang's family is not very close to her.
Step-mother, sister-in-law.
At the beginning, it was You's wealth, but now who cares about whom?
Come to think of it.
Jia Cong changed his tone and explained: "I'm not driving you away, it's good for you and me." β
After saying it in one breath, Jia Cong raised his eyes to look at her.
You Shi looked at him and couldn't take his eyes off it.
There were tears in his eyes, but he suppressed them.
Half ring... Qiang Yan smiled and nodded.
She couldn't say what it felt like herself.
"I don't want to get you involved."
You Shi bit his lip and turned his head: "It's just that you said that the second sister should marry Zhang Hua?"
I've never been able to make up my mind here......"
The matter of the You sisters, where does it have anything to do with him?
Jia Cong frowned and said, "Just don't hook up with Second Brother Shanglian."
You make your own decisions about the rest, and I'm leaving. β
Jia Lian hooked up with Second Sister You at the time of Jia Jing's funeral.
National filial piety and family filial piety, Jia Lian didn't care about it.
And there are still three years before Jia Jing's death.
Jia Lian can openly ignore etiquette, national filial piety, and family filial piety.
Stop the wife and remarry (using the etiquette of a wife).
These are undoubtedly the charges against himself.
Etiquette, can you break through this shackle?
Wang Zhideng delayed Ma Xianglan for decades.
Ma Xianglan, who is in her forties, personally came to the door to dance for him.
Sensation Jiangnan!
Wang Zhideng, who was sixty or seventy, cried: It's all the etiquette that has mistaken us!
Ma Xianglan has devoted her life to this dance.
After all, there is nothing to be gained.
"Rites" set the dignity and humility, divide the noble and the low, eat people and do not spit out bones.
This is the case.
Jia Cong was finally fortunate enough to be able to experience it.
Is it possible to break through the day of the rituals?
.......
Qin Ye supervised Jiyang in Xishan, which was not yet completed.
Jia Cong went to Qin Mansion to say goodbye.
Qin Zhong's face is ruddy, he is more handsome than before, and his body is thin.
Among the men Jia Cong saw, the most handsome were Jia Qiang and Qin Zhong.
"It's a pity, it's a pity, I can't accompany you this time I go back to my hometown."
Qin Zhong affectionately pulled him to sit down: "Jingzhi, aren't you going to see your sister?" β
"It's too late."
Jia Cong shook his head and smiled: "Let's just say that the Tribute Courtyard will be opened around the Mid-Autumn Festival." β
Qin Zhong was speechless, and Baozhu went to reply.
Qin Keqing was biting the thread in the ear room, and the two girls were not messing around.
"Third Master Cong is too famous at this time, and it is good to have scruples.
He was thinking about the girl, and Uncle Zhen and Uncle Xiaorong died.
The city was full of uproar, and the newspapers of the lord's mansion had reached home......
Fortunately, the young lady was not in Dongfu, otherwise she would have entered the Teaching Workshop Division.
We have to be sold! β
One day husband and wife hundred days, when I learned the news.
She wasn't happy for a while.
Qin Keqing dusted off her skirt: "My father often has errands.
As soon as he has a junior and younger student, his official fortune is prosperous.
Maybe he can be a waiter, is he a lucky star? β
"Yes."
Baozhu and Ruizhu nodded together: "He is also the girl's lucky star." β
Qin Keqing smiled, and the needles and threads in his hands flew up and down.
"Then it will be, it is better not to ask for it, and it is better not to fight.
As long as our father and younger brother are well, we will not be guilty. β
After speaking, I was thinking in my heart: "Does this matter have anything to do with my junior brother?"
If so, I will not be a red face, but a curse ......."
.......
.......
During this time, Rongguo Mansion was very calm.
After all, no one has much confidence in Jia Cong's scientific examination and township examination.
Originally, Jia Cong was just used as a training.
Northern wheat, sown in autumn.
Harvest in the summer of the following year.
Wheat from the Middle East is the main crop in the north.
In addition, the northern custom is to worship the god Qingmiao in July.
On the fifteenth day of July, the Magu was sacrificed.
In the face of a long period of rain and sunshine, it is necessary to "sweep the sunny mother" (Shaanxi is called sweeping the heavenly woman).
I saw these after the Jia Cong Yuan exam, and during the annual exam.
Hybrids and rotational crops also include millet, millet, sweet potatoes, etc.
Sweet potatoes were first cultivated in Fujian, Guangdong, and Yunnan.
Introduced from Luzon and Annam, the yield per mu is 1,000 catties.
It was the first choice for ancient farmers to satisfy their hunger.
Today's people want to know the situation of Wanping in ancient times.
Most of you have to look at Shen Bang's "Wan Agency Miscellaneous".
When the carriage walked through the official road, there was no wheat wave in the autumn.
The smell is the smell of ploughed and raked earth.
Arrived at the Shunzhi market.
Song Li in the western suburbs led people to stop the car and ask for words.
Humbly smiled: "Jia Xiaoxianggong is the first prodigy of our Dachu.
I didn't catch up with the sacrifice of the Qingmiao God before, so please write a few words today. β
"Little things."
Jia Cong got out of the car and took the brush, and after a little thought, he wrote:
Two flags, divided.
The dance is breezy and melodious.
God's Division, I'm in Xinjiang.
May the field be every time and set up my green seedlings.
It's not bad, it's okay.
There is no rain and no sun, and the hundred valleys appear.
But God descended to health and repaid the steamed sheep.
Although it is useless to say that it is to pray to God.
But since the Neolithic period.
Pray for God's blessing until the modern countryside.
Especially since the Yuan and Ming dynasties.
Planting, silk weaving, good things, bad things, everything requires God, and there are many kinds of tricks.
It is also considered scenery to ask Xiucai to write.
Song Lichang didn't understand the meaning, so he pretended to bow his head and said: "Look, this word is really well written, and the meaning is good." β
A few peasants just came to see what the prodigy looked like.
After listening to Song Lichang, this character can be framed to move the Qingmiao God.
They are as religious as Muslims, giving gifts and souvenirs.
Jia Cong smiled and took a few things casually, he only felt sad.
This is the ancient peasantry.
If anyone blasphemes their God.
They can pick up hoes and sickles and fight hard.
There are many taboos of planting mulberry and raising silkworms in the south of the Yangtze River, which are more powerful than the god of green seedlings.
For the sake of that god, the weavers and mulberry households ignored the government.
You are not allowed to enter the door during certain periods.
The government can only obey for the sake of the overall situation.
Register, fill in the confession, receive the number, and enter the Confucian Temple.
There are thousands of Xiucai participating in the scientific expedition in the West Road Hall.
Before the question is out.
Jia Cong's table number was one of the concerns of the same year.
Wang Hao came over and whispered: "Luo Qicai has a friend Wei Wuzhi, who is his cousin.
The students of Liangxiang County will arrive in Wanping.
At the drinking party, he threatened to avenge his cousin......"
Jia Cong nodded secretly and wrote it down, following the guidance of the other party's eyes on Saturday.
Sure enough, I saw a lean Confucian student in the west corner.
has been staring at himself coldly, like a man's back.
In the old days, the Confucian Temple was for modern people like Jia Cong.
Since eight shares have become a derogatory term.
"Down with the Confucian family" swept the country.
The Temple of Literature and the Temple of Confucius are very strange and ancient in the impression of today's people.
Da Chu followed the Ming system and became more standardized.
Dacheng Hall set up the statue of the most holy Confucius and the statue of the sub-saint Mencius.
and the statue of the Confucian "Ten Philosophers", before the selection of scientific examinations.
Both the academic administration and the candidates are required to burn incense and wash their hands in accordance with the etiquette before worshipping.
Although Jia Cong has taken the road of eight shares.
But in my mind, how much respect I have for Confucianism..... Not necessarily.
The examination room for the scientific expedition is located in the east and west of the seventy-six wings.
The reference of the show talent, according to the quota regulations.
Only a small number of them can be sent to the township examination.
Only after passing the township examination can people participate in the examination indefinitely.
Twenty-four in the west.
Jia Cong quietly lays paper and polishes ink in the southeast corner.
For the northwest corner of Wei ignorant cold eyes.
He turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear.
Wait for all the candidates to sit down after the search and inspection, and the officials are in place.
There are only a few poor men in soap suits who are assigned to several examination rooms.
Hand holding a wooden sign to announce the shuttle.
The scientific examination topics for this township examination are from the twenty-sixth chapter of "The Mean".
It's a big topic: Today's husband is so many, and it's infinite......
Fish and turtles are born, and wealth and goods are cultivated.
This paragraph is a description of the natural world of heaven and earth, mountains and rivers.
Even though it's ancient.
But modern high school students can understand and understand.
It's a relatively easy passage to remember.
The title of the test poem: "Zhuo Ju Guan Qun Shu" gets the word "book".
All eight-strand essay exams.
The admission criteria are overwhelmingly inclined to the first eight-strand essay.
Other trial poems, judgments, verses, expressions, and treatises are only used as references.
Of course, this is also the case.
Baguwen is not very good, other things are excellent.
It can also increase the examiner's impression score, so as to admit it.
However, it is common for the eight-strand text to be the first standard.
This scientific expedition.
Jia Cong's friends Liuliuhe, Wang Hao, and Zhang Xiancai are all there.
Most of the students from the five counties of the West Road Hall arrived.
What didn't come was due to filial piety, accidents, and so on.
The benevolent brother Lin Hao sitting next to him on the right is short-sighted.
couldn't see it clearly, so he pushed Jia Cong: "Prodigy Jia, what is the title of this sentence?" β
"The Mean" has one of the twenty-six chapters, and Zhuo Ju looks at the group of books to get the words."
Jia Cong kindly replied, and the benevolent brother thanked him.
Write an eight-strand essay in a proper manner.
An hour has passed, and the number of words is about five hundred.
The paper of the examination was printed and distributed by the government, red checkered paper, and eighteen columns.
Including scratch paper, take it back.
In addition to the basic principle of the practice of trial poems, it is to praise the saints.
From the beginning to the end of the sixteen sentences, it is also completely in accordance with the "eight-strand text model".
Solve the problem, take the topic until the comparison and the end.
It must be closely centered on the word "book" in the title.
The benevolent brother whispered again, "Prodigy Jia, I forgot, what is the rhyme of the calligraphy?" β
In ancient times, it was extremely difficult to read.
Try to post poems, eight strands of four than in addition to reciting the rhythm of enlightenment.
All the sounds must also be remembered.
Jia Cong smiled silently, like looking at a fool.
Dude, this is a regular exam, can I answer you?
If you want to die, don't bother me.
Seeing this, the brother laughed dryly, and was embarrassed to ask him.
Jia Cong finished writing the test post poem and was about to hand in the paper.
I don't want this benevolent brother to be not only short-sighted, but also physically wooden.
actually knocked over Jia Cong's inkstone, and the ink soaked part of the paper.
I !! grass
The quintessence of the country, who had not been seen for a long time, blurted out, and Jia Congqiang resisted the urge to beat people.
Half of the hour has passed, where is the time to write again?
Jia Cong's face was not good-looking, and his eyes were gloomy as he stared at the benevolent brother.
Brother Ren was embarrassed and guilty, and bowed his head repeatedly.
Silently making a gesture indicates that it is an unintentional act.
Jia Cong stared straight at him, not looking like he was pretentious.
Fang Cai sighed helplessly.
Now is not the time to get angry and rethink for a while.
One more poem was added at the end......
He can't treat himself badly, and he can't make things difficult for Chen Dongsheng.
If he fails the eight strands of literature and is admitted.
Chen Dongsheng is worried about his life.
Jia Cong had studied Baguwen in his previous life, although he could not say that he had studied it intensively.
But I practiced for so long in this life.
There are those intuitive impressions of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and my personal understanding is very deep.
He knew that the county government, annual examinations, and scientific examinations were not as strict as the township halls.
As long as you have a brain, you can still pass the test.
The old enlightenment miscellaneous sayings; "If you are willing to spend ten years of hard work, it is not difficult to take the test."
Jia Cong has a foundation and a prophetic thinking.
plus some of the exemplary texts in his memory for him to copy.
Although those exemplary texts cannot be fully remembered.
But he has the ability to borrow it, to modify it.
Now there is a "roll unclean".
He hoped that the poem would be useful.
is similar to Zhu Qingyu in the Tang Dynasty "recently tried to go to Zhang Shuibu".
I hope to understand it through poetry.
Of course, after Jia Cong was admitted to Xiucai.
It's just a matter of getting familiar with the regulations of the scientific examination and township examination.
It's good to prepare, even if it doesn't pass the test, it's within his psychological expectations.
Although this benevolent brother is reckless, he is not heartfelt.
Jia Cong could only admit that he was unlucky.
Ancient exams are the same as modern exams.
It is most common for all kinds of mistakes to go wrong in the exam room.
ββββββ
The annual examination grade is divided into six grades, which determines the life and death of talents.
The scientific examination is divided into three classes.
The first and second classes are allowed to participate in the township examination.
Third-class words...... Come back in three years.
It's just a joke, and the township hall only comes once in three years.
The first scientific expedition was not successful.
You can also continue to participate in the "Recording Course" and "Recording Heritage".
It is also hosted by the Academic Administration.
However, the pre-selection of the township examination only takes the number of outstanding talents.
No matter how hard you work and how you take the test.
Most of the talents are destined to be brushed off.
The township examination is a provincial-level examination, and tens of thousands of talents in one province are talented.
Those who can pay tribute can only maintain about 10,000 people per year.
Jiangnan Gongyuan is a little special and has a developed culture.
Up to more than 20,000.
East Reading Room.
Chen Dongsheng, who is also a student and politician, wears a three-grade red peacock complement.
The inside is still covered with a seven-grade style military official cyan hedgehog supplement.
Wearing a black gauze hat.
In the former Ming Dynasty, there was a habit of patrolling the Imperial Commander, and Da Chu became a part-time officer.
In order to prevent cheating, there is also a habit of confusing the name of the third-level examination of the Dachu County Government.
But the scroll is not transcribed.
Examiners can recognise familiar candidates by their handwriting.
As his protΓ©gΓ©, Jia Cong has a beautiful pavilion body.
Chen Dongsheng identified it at a glance, and at first he saw the filth on the scroll.
He felt the urge to throw it into the corner paper basket and take a closer look at the back of the test poem.
A poem was also added.
Chen Dongsheng laughed just now: "Okay! With this poem, it is enough to pass on a good story of teachers and students. β
Outside the door, there are two layers of guards such as the guard of honor and the official officer.
A few days later.
Chen Dongsheng rubbed his temples tiredly.
instructed Shen Gao, Liu Hua and others: "Release the list and send the exam papers." β
