Before admission.

The iron cow touched the master's clothes back and forth.

As if testing whether Jia Cong's bones are strange.

Cao Dahua glared at the copper bell with big eyes: "I said Xiao Niuzi, this is not a fireworks restaurant."

Master's noble body, is there anything you touch?

Miss Qingwen of the Chengri family and you still say that I am stupid.

The brain is missing strings and tendons, I look at ......"

"You know what!"

Tie Niu interrupted him: "Go aside, the field will be sent down a long time ago."

All the clothes are dismantled, double cotton jackets are not allowed, and those who wear felt blankets must be disassembled.

The bottom of the inkstone and the brush barrel are all hollowed out for easy viewing.

No cheating, all food is cut, is this a joke?

In case something happened, the Son of Heaven was furious and dragged to the Xuanwumen vegetable market.

No matter how famous you are, show your talents.

It's all clicking......"

"The children here and the children are all made by Miss Qingwen.

Tell her to take it apart, it's hard for her not to complain this time.

It's going to be bitter, Third Master Cong.

I've heard that squatting is just squatting in prison......"

Tie Niu pursed his lips disdainfully, in front of Cao Dahua.

He has always had a sense of superiority over the city people over the country people.

Cao Dahua blinked and said enviously: "I don't know that's the case."

If you don't say that Miss Qingwen is so skillful, this cotton jacket is so dense with needles and threads, tsk......"

"Stop it, give me the candlestick and the charcoal stove."

Jia Cong stopped the two of them, shook his head and smiled, these two family members are really a pair of living treasures.

The two handed it over.

As a milk brother, Tie Niu is more careful and thoughtful.

"Third Master Cong, our copper hand furnace is much better than other people's braziers.

When I came back from the scientific expedition, Xiao Rong's grandmother.... Miss Qin sent it.

I'm afraid that you will squat in the cold of the house, and this package will be eaten.

It was brought by Grandma Zhen, hurry up and take the roll call, go quickly! ”

"Hmm."

Jia Cong carried the basket and candlestick in his left hand, and held the hand stove in his right hand.

The coolness of the early autumn morning does not feel so cold.

Walk in line with Shuntianfu.

This time, the queue is arranged by government, not by county.

He also met a lot of students from other prefectures and counties in Zhili.

Tianjin Mansion, Hejian Mansion, Daimyo Mansion and so on.

The officers and soldiers guarding the gate and maintaining order at the gate of the Tribute Courtyard.

sent the officials of the Shuntian Mansion, the soldiers and horses of the five cities of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the people of the three yamen of the five battalions.

In all provinces and townships, the governor was used as the supervisor.

Shuntian Mansion is slapped with Yin Dong An.

The governor Yu Hazy concurrently served as the chamberlain of the Ministry and was elected as the chief examiner.

At present, all officers and soldiers must be dispatched by Dong An, the temporary supervisor

Dong Anjun personally sat in the second court of the Gongyuan and entered the public court.

The lights on both sides of the yard were dim, and the sound of chickens crowing was heard in the distance.

Jia Cong, Wang Hao, Zhang Xiancai, Saturday He and others who made an appointment.

One by one, they lined up and passed the search, and this time the search was extremely strict.

The examiner, the deputy examiner, and the room officer sat and watched.

However, officers and soldiers cut food with knives and did not touch them with their hands.

There are more than 10,000 candidates, and Sven is swept away.

Passed through strict searches without dignity.

Under the leadership of the house official, he entered the inner dragon gate and turned a few corners to the second entrance of the tribute courtyard.

And he saw more than a foot of thorns encircling the house.

The building is made of brick and stone, and there are more than 10,000 rooms.

Rows are distributed on the east and west sides of the second entrance.

Taller than the number building is the Mingyuan Building, the Lookout Tower.

There are cold-faced officers and soldiers staring at the candidates.

Many candidates shivered.

Jia Cong entered the house according to the order, and the officers and soldiers came over and closed the door.

This is a veteran: "If the little minister wants to be respectful, call me." ”

Jia Cong pursed his lips and said secretly: "The township test house is really a prison."

Squatting for three days at a time? It's really tormenting. ”

Meanwhile.

The three entrances of the Tribute Courtyard are inside the inner curtain door.

Qian Xihong, who is currently patrolling the city of Xicheng, has already accepted a bribe sent by Wang Xifeng.

Qian Xihong was born in Kejia, and he wrote well in Baguwen.

He was elected by the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites as one of the trial officials of Guiyou Township.

Jia Cong's examination papers, he has the right to take the lead in asking.

Yanjing is the capital of the country.

The provincial capital of Zhili Province, the Yamen of Shuntianfu is also located in the city.

The tribute courtyard inside the Chongwen Gate at the southeast gate.

It brought prosperity to the hutong neighborhood near Gongyuan.

There are pen holder alleys, carp alleys, and donkey hoof alleys.

Headlines, two, three, etc.

The central building of the Gongyuan is from the outside to the inside; "Open the Astronomical Fortune" door.

Inner Dragon Gate, Mingyuan Building, to the Public Hall, Feihongqiao.

Inner curtain door, Jukui Pavilion, Huijing Hall.

The number building is on the east and west sides of the second entrance, and there are watchtowers at the four corners.

The chief examiner, deputy chief examiner, and house officer start from the appointment of the king.

Then he sat down at the inner curtain door.

It is strictly forbidden for examiners to meet with students prior to the exam.

A hand stove with coals, candlesticks for lighting candles.

Pens, ink, paper, inkstones, water, and food in the basket.

Table, chair, bed, and more.

Nothing.

The dim candlelight fills the small space.

This is one of the rows of buildings on the east side of the second entrance.

Jia Cong looked around, shook his head, and stabilized his mind.

The situation of the other more than 10,000 candidates is probably not much different from Jia Cong.

Of course.

The imperial examination represents fame and wealth.

For the sake of wealth, some candidates are not afraid of death.

Or you have secretly visited a related examiner before the exam.

Or rack their brains to conceal the search and carry the entrainment.

Or buy the question.

The unspoken rules are also interesting.

On the evening of the eighth day of the eighth month of August.

Jia Cong finishes push-ups.

The veteran who watched him occasionally looked out the window, patrolling back and forth.

This kind of surveillance is like installing someone else's surveillance in a personal bedroom.

Very uncomfortable.

But Jia Cong was very patient and finished his workout a little.

poured water and wiped his face, and fell asleep as if no one was around.

The veteran soldier was fully armored, and sighed: "Isn't this a liberal arts examination?"

Feelings: This little brother should be a martial arts exam.......

I just heard the transcription staff at the inner curtain door ask me.

Say this is a child prodigy...... What a fucking envy.

We are working the battlefield, and we are not as glorious as a showman!

What bullshit ...... world"

In the first month of the eighth month of August, it hangs obliquely on the east mountain.

The orange glow shone brightly.

Coming in through a wooden window.

It's like the silk and light veil of the fairy Chang'e.

Jia Cong, who used his hands as pillows on the straw mat, was slightly intoxicated: "Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, father and son died in Huangquan."

According to the Di newspaper I saw from the second uncle and Teacher Qin.

At that time, Wang Xifeng discussed with the two of them, and there must be a section of the upper recital......."

So, what will Wang Xifeng do?

With that woman's temperament and strength.

I'm afraid I won't let go of this little uncle easily.

It's not peaceful outside, it's not peaceful at home......."

"But this identity is not bad, compared to those civilians, degenerates, and minions.

I'm so lucky, the tragedy of the Twelve Hairpins.

Compared with them, who have suffered a lot, they are also very happy......

Take it one step at a time and adapt to the situation.

If Wang Xifeng kills me completely, don't blame me for being reckless in the future! ”

It is different from the guessing, apprehension, and anxiety of most test takers.

Jia Cong is like playing.

But he thinks more and more practically.

The plan after the township test, the shadow of Prince Yu.

How to deal with the characters at home, how to deal with them, and so on.

At this time, no one can understand the loneliness and a little hesitation.

Everyone has something on their minds and can't say it.

No more cultured country guys.

Midnight dreams also think of the gap between family property and parents.

These things can only be their own forever.

"When! While!!! ”

The morning light of the ninth day of August has just dewed.

The autumn breeze was slightly cold.

The bell of Mingyuan Tower rang throughout the tribute courtyard.

Mingyuan upstairs.

Dong An, a third-grade civil official two levels higher than the general prefect, was slapped.

put a big red peacock tonic on his body, warmed his ears, and commanded.

"Lock the courtyard, besiege the thorns, and pass the question."

With the order of the prison officer, the order was conveyed layer by layer.

Unhindered into the ears of every officer and soldier in formation.

The officers and soldiers guarding the door locked the door of the five-bay room.

Thorns more than a foot high surrounded the house in all directions.

More than a dozen bad masters.

Carrying the emperor's personal proposition in batches, patrolled outside the window of the number house.

Organized and organized.

The Wenchang acacia tree on the east side of the second entrance covers the sky and the sun.

It is located in the east.

The knot is ancient and mottled, and it is left over from the Yuan Dynasty.

The branches and leaves stretched out of the west far, far away, and they all stretched out of the window of Jia Cong's house.

Many people are comforted by the leaves of Wenchang Huai.

Wenguang shoots bullfighting, with the blessing of Wenchang Huai.

Jia Cong pays attention to the maintenance of his eyes, combines work and rest, and often does eye exercises.

It greatly avoids the occurrence of myopia.

I glanced directly at the bulletin board with two shaking eyes, and saw the title clearly:

The first four-book question of the township test is "all Yayan." Ye Gong".

From the end of chapter 15 and the beginning of chapter 16 of the Analects.

This is a "truncation question" with a preface that does not match the afterword.

Try the poem: "How many buildings are smoke and rain, and the word rain is obtained."

From Du Mu's poems.

The veteran brought in red checkered paper and scratch paper.

The interception question is the most difficult of the four book questions.

Solving the question can stump the candidate for a long time.

Because these two sentences have nothing to do with each other.

Gotta find a way to connect them.

Even small and medium-sized trippers have practiced a lot of similar truncation problems.

But if you want to play extraordinary, write the best in your mind.

For Jia Cong, it's not as simple as eating and drinking.

He himself found it a little tricky.

But he still resisted the urge to curse the emperor and curse Baguwen.

It's just a trial poem, and it can't help it.

A "crunch" sound.

The veteran closes the door and locks the door.

Jia Cong's brain, which fused two souls, spun rapidly.

Zhu Xi's collection of notes, the accumulation of his previous life, rolling in.

A hand stove with coals warms the heat under the table.

Drink water, eat bread, and replenish nutrients.

Jia Cong remembered in a trance that he had seen a model article with the same topic in a literature and history book in his previous life.

But I can't remember the log as it is, but fortunately, the general idea is there.

........

To the north of the public hall there is a flying rainbow bridge.

At this moment, Zhili Township is tested, and there are heavy guards.

Examiners cannot come out, and candidates cannot enter.

The auditorium inside the inner curtain door.

More than a dozen house officials have already bowed, kowtowed, burned incense, and washed their hands.

Let's take a look.

Accompanied the examiner in the lobby to Jackie Chan to open the questions sacredly.

Busy with the program.

It's really boring at this time.

A few old men who have studied the eight stocks are talking back and forth.

Jia Cong, who is the most in the limelight, also mentions it from their mouths from time to time.

However, the frequency of mentioning Jia Cong is not the highest.

After all, Jia Cong is still young, and the second township test is not the county government.

How many prodigies and amazing candidates have returned here.

Examples of lifetime failure are common.

The candidate base is large and the admission rate is low.

This is destined to be the case.

Chatted for a while.

Fang official Qian Xihong excused himself to compliment.

The old man walked slowly and leisurely to the passage outside a room.

The transcriber who had made the appointment came to meet and bowed his head to pay homage.

"Lord Qian, I don't know what to tell the little one?"

"Hmm......."

Qian Xihong helped him up: "Xiao Li, don't see outside."

You are the scribe of my yamen, and it is your relatives who gave you this opportunity.

After three township exams, you must find Jia Cong's ink scroll.

He personally transcribed the scroll and numbered '贰贰一' in the corner of the scroll.

Then I will know that the red scroll is his, you know? ”

Li Chenglu was stunned when he heard this, looked left and right, and was a little panicked.

"My lord, cheating in the township test is going to kill your head.

A small little scribe is not enough to copy all the doors! ”

"Who said there was fraud?

How do you know I'm going to cheat? ”

Qian Xihong glared: "This is Wang Ziteng's niece."

I'm in charge, do you want that girl in Jinxiangyuan?

At that time, I opened my mouth with my colleague Lao Ma in Dongcheng.

and the money of ransom shall be spared for thee.

Don't you want land in the western suburbs?

I sent a servant out of the horse, and a member of the staff was also deceitful.

If you don't know each other, you have offended the king's rule, can you and I have good fruit to eat? ”

Li Chenglu thought about it, and was bewitched by interests, and his face loosened somewhat.

"Yes, how dare the little one disobey.

Adults forgive sins, but it's just a moment of uneasiness. ”

The second entrance is the number building on the west side.

Wei Wuzhi's mood was different from Jia Cong and most of the candidates.

He should be the most sure.

Grasp not only comes from the deep foundation of the eight strands, the four books and the five classics.

Long after the scientific examination, before the township examination.

He went to Beijing to visit his cousin Luo Min.

talked about Luo Guoqi's indistinct death.

The Wanping County Ya only reported one "horse thief committing a crime."

Luo Sheng had a criminal record", Luo Min laughed angrily.

Also present that day was Xu Youzhen, the deputy chief examiner of the township examination and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

Uncle Luo Min played a good hand of dominoes.

There is a vague mention of the promotion of the nephew.

Xu Youzhen was silent, and only said: "Two one." ”

At that time, Luo Min understood: "Xu Shilang, there is no 'one' in dominoes!"

The lowest land card is no more than two points. ”

Xu Youzhen smiled: "The dominoes are made up of two dice.

If you do this, there is an extra zero point.

One point and zero point together, and there you have it. ”

At that time, Luo Min didn't break it.

After Wei Wuzhi went back, he pondered for a long time.

"Two-one-one? What does that mean exactly? ”

"Two One One, Two One One ......"

After reciting it silently a few times, Wei Wuzhi slapped the bed in his cousin's room.

Suddenly realized: "That's it! ”

The words "that's all".

In an eight-strand article, it was just a dispensable tone word

It depends on how the candidate is used to using it.

Xu Youzhen clearly said: As long as the word "that's it" is brought at the end.

He has a good chance of being accepted!

This is the most commonly used unspoken rule of fraud in the scientific field.

The examiner will not explain directly, and it is up to the candidate to comprehend his words.

For example, "I have the best pot in the Qing Empire".

Originally, it was the drinking words that the examiner and the examinee said at the banquet.

But there's a mystery to it.

In the end, everything has an eight-strand text with "as much as this (as much as this pot)" at the end.

The examiner was accepted.

If you don't break it, it's because of fraud in the field, and you will be dismissed at least and killed at worst.

So to say some pun entendre, it all depends on the candidate's mistake.

Pull the relationship?

Fraud?

Leaking the question?

Not.

This kind of unspoken rule can't find a crime at all.

Didn't people just say a word at the right time......

At that time, there were several friends with Wei Wuzhi in the past.

Some didn't comprehend, some comprehended, tacitly.

Write the words "that's all" at the end of the red checkered paper.

Wei Wuzhi put down the pen, Yixing flew away, and couldn't hide the spring breeze proudly.

"Wei has decided to return to his hometown this time, Jia Jingzhi, Jia Jingzhi.

I'm afraid you don't have the good luck of Wei, my uncle said.

Wang Ziteng's niece is not dealing with you.

The house is restless, and the outside is troublesome.

Jia Jingzhi, you have done a lot of evil, and your edge is exposed.

This time, he will inevitably fall from the paradise of a prodigy into the abyss of falling.

Cousin, I'll avenge you, hahaha......."

A trial poem was written with a wave of the pen.

It's the tenth day of the first month.

Wei Wuzhi couldn't help but be overjoyed: "With the favor of the deputy chief examiner, I should have the hope of solving the yuan in the township test?"

And you Jia Jing has a Five Classics question, and even the house official can't pass it.

Alas...... I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu.

It's chilling in the heights! ”

～～～～～

On the tenth day of August, the township test show was handed in and appeared.

There is a long way between the east and west cities.

Tomorrow eleven will enter the field again.

So Jia Cong didn't go home.

With Tie Niu and Cao Dahua, he got out of the pen holder alley.

To the carp alley.

This place is the most lively and prosperous alley near Gongyuan.

Legend has it that there was a poor man who went to Beijing to take the exam.

An old man here took him in, and the next day it rained heavily.

There are carps jumping to the dragon gate of the Gongyuan, and the poor people are the champions of high school.

When he came back, he built an archway for the old man, and this place became popular.

The inns in Liyu Hutong are almost overcrowded.

The hustle and bustle of talking, ordering and punching came and went.

Saturday asked, "How did Jingzhi do in the exam?" ”

"I can't say, it's a matter of skill and luck.

There is enough time to write so-so. ”

In the past, it was possible to connect small and medium-sized three yuan, except for the eight-strand text.

It is also important to have a good relationship with Liu Hua, Shen Gao, and Chen Dongsheng in advance.

Now the main examiner is Hazy, and the deputy examiner is Xu Youzhen.

Jia Cong doesn't matter.

"I used the words Buddha and Zhenguan in the middle two and the last two.

I don't know if the examiner will misunderstand. ”

Jia Congcha came to his lips and stopped asking.

Wang Hao has experience in township tests.

This is also inaccurate, Buddha and Zhenguan are also mentioned in the Four Books and Five Classics.

But at first glance, the Buddha is Buddhism.

And Confucianism is heaven, Zhenguan is afraid that it will be recognized as Li Shimin's year name. ”

Wang Hao frowned: "The examiner has done a good job in Baguwen, but Baguwen does not mean that Bogu is in the present."

You shouldn't use those words....... But that's just to be on the safe side.

Since the Four Books and the Five Classics have a source, if the examiner uses this as a reason.

Jing Zhida can fight back against him, with our Lanling League Book Society.

Widely printed and widely publicized.

If the examiner misjudges, it will be difficult for you to go home and farm. ”

"Yes, you are a serious eight-strand foundation, I'm afraid of him as a Raush!"

Zhang Xiancai drank in a big bowl: "Our Lanling League pulled a few more people in.

Maybe one day it can be compared to the Yan Society.

Is the accession charter to be finalized?

You can't fill the number indiscriminately, and you would rather lack it than overuse. ”

"Not bad."

Jia Cong nodded and said, "The conditions for joining the alliance are like this first.

Recognize the core of 'for the livelihood of the people, for the meritorious work'.

The second is not to talk about the government in vain, and the third is to carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future.

It not only inherits the lineage of Confucianism, but also does not reject other ideas.

I mean, farming, paddy fields, crafts.

Books and discussions on steel and other categories should be inclusive. ”

Wang Hao felt that it was inappropriate: "The latter is just the end, isn't Jingzhi the end of the book?" ”
