Chapter 10: At the beginning of the county test, the door is good
(The early bird doesn't eat the worm, where is the ticket?Where is the support?)
Jing County belongs to Yangzhou and is located in the Jiangnan region.
Since ancient times, Jiangnan has been more literate, and the pen and ink are prosperous, and every imperial examination is a strong man, and the same is true for the children's examination. The dynasty selects people, according to the proportion of regions, the proportion of Jiangnan candidates is among the best, but the base is often several times more than that of other states and counties, and most of the local candidates are full of poetry and books, and they want to emerge from it, which is really a bloody examination road.
The Boy Exam is the first step on this path.
Jing County is not big, but there are county schools, there are social studies in the township, and as for private schools, there are dozens of them -- Mr. Yang's private school is just one of them.
In this way, in the county, there are hundreds of candidates who sign up for the children's examination every year, and after three screenings, only a dozen or so people are finally eligible for the student quota.
The big waves wash the sand, nothing more than that.
Early in the morning, Chen Sanlang got up and freshened up, and after breakfast, he was sent by the housekeeper Uncle Hua to the examination room set up in the county school.
Mo Daojun walked early, and there were even more pedestrians early, outside the gate, there was a black press, at least thousands of people, and they almost couldn't squeeze in.
There are so many people, not all of them are candidates, including the candidates' families, and guarantors.
After waiting for a while, I saw Mr. Yang and a young scholar arrive. The scholar is not tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he is Mr. Yang's proud protΓ©gΓ© Qin Yushu, and now he is a student in Nanyang College, with a bright future.
ββIf you want to participate in the children's test, you must have someone to guarantee it, and you must guarantee it once, and it is common to all three levels. There are many forms of guarantee, among which it is the easiest to ask a student to be sure.
Simple is not the same as easy, the first is to know people, and the second is to pay a lot of money. Otherwise, for no reason, who is willing to guarantee in vain?
Mr. Yang's subordinates participated in the children's test, and naturally Chen Sanlang was not the only one, but there were five others. There are six people together, all of whom ask Qin Yushu as a guarantee.
"I've seen Senior Qin. β
Seeing Qin Yushu coming, the students hurriedly greeted him.
Qin Yushu smiled and nodded in response, and when his eyes swept over Chen Sanlang, he was inexplicably cold: This Chen Sanlang doesn't know how to do things, he returned to Jing County from Nanyang Mansion, and other people have set up banquets and drinks and presented etiquette, but Chen Sanlang is nowhere to be seen.
"Hmph, it's always been money, if it weren't for the sake of Mr., how could I help you guarantee it again?"
In the normal market, the student will receive a consistent 200 yuan as a guarantee. Other forms of insurance, such as inviting three talents to join the insurance, are estimated to be more expensive, and the total cost is at least two dollars or more. Besides, Chen Sanlang couldn't take the test, and his grades were ridiculously poor, Qin Yushu was worried that his reputation would be damaged, and he was very reluctant to protect the other party, Mr. Yang said that this was the last time, and he reluctantly agreed.
I thought that Chen Sanlang would be reasonable and add extra money, but I didn't think that this nerd wouldn't even invite a meal, which was extremely rude.
Feeling the cold gaze, Chen Sanlang was stunned, then understood, and showed a wry smile: This matter is indeed his own negligence, because he had a lot of things a while ago, and he was a little dizzy, but he lost his favor.
Then he stepped forward and said, "Thank you Senior Qin for guaranteeing Xiaosheng, and after the exam, I will invite my seniors to the banquet to express my gratitude." β
Qin Yushu replied indifferently: "After the on-site guarantee is confirmed today, I will return to the academy, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat this meal, unless you can pass the county exam, but with all due respect, it is difficult to go to the sky." β
The meaning of contempt is overflowing with words
Chen Sanlang listened, his face tightened, and he no longer spoke: Is it difficult to go to the blue sky......
The hour is approaching, and the inspection and entry begin, and the crowd is crowded.
Behind the gate of the county school, there is a temporary platform, on which a person sits upright, wearing a double bird supplement suit, with a solemn complexion, three long beards, which is already a little gray, it is the old county commander He Zhiming of Jing County. Since he took office, he has been strict with himself, his laws and regulations are clear, and he has won the reputation of "clean official". However, due to his advanced age, he will leave his post next year and go home to retire.
The atmosphere of the county test is relatively relaxed, and the roll call inspection and body search verification are not strict. Candidates lined up and streamed in.
Chen Sanlang carried the examination basket and lined up in the line, and it didn't take long for him to enter the dragon gate and come to the examination room.
In this examination room, the examination shed is divided into two columns, and the shed is divided into a room for the candidates to sit in the opposite number.
Chen Sanlang found a seat, sat down, put the exam basket, put the four treasures of the study, and waited for the exam questions to be announced.
Many candidates 6 continued to come, and once they sat in the exam number, they converged on the sound. Soon, when all the candidates were seated, the huge examination room was silent, so quiet that you could hear the sound of people's heartbeats.
The dynasty emphasized literature over military force, and took the imperial examination. For countless scholars in the world, the court is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is Tianzi Hall, which is only on top of a fame. Therefore, it is a long road to the imperial examination, and every examination seems sacred and relevant.
Under invisible pressure, it is difficult to be calm.
Inexplicably, Chen Sanlang felt that his heart was beating so fast, and his hands and feet began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
Is the horror disease going to be done again?
His face turned ugly.
The three-way drum sounded, and a county official began to walk back and forth in the examination room with a sign in hand, and the sign was pasted with white paper and black letters, which were clearly written, which was the exam question this time.
One by one, they looked at the sign in unison, and when they saw the two scripture questions, the candidates immediately began to meditate and consider the article.
When the little official passed by Chen Sanlang's examination house with a sign, he couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the scholar with his head down, trembling all over, and sweating like pulp, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
For Chen Sanlang, he knows himself, in the past in the examination room of the children's exam, Chen Sanlang was like this, shaking so much that he couldn't even hold the pen, even if he barely grabbed it, but when he put down the pen, he couldn't write words, the ink splashed down, stained the paper, and was a mess.
"It looks like I have to hand in a blank paper again this year......"
The little official thought about it, and without pausing, he walked over.
"Calm down, be calm......"
Chen Saburo kept talking to himself in his heart, and when he thought of a useful method, he closed his eyes and began to take a deep breath.
One, two, three......
With the spitting, it gradually becomes a rhythm. At this time, he slowly became quiet, forgetting that he was in the examination room, but it seemed to be in an empty place, and there was no one around, but himself-
"It's not the same......"
"Yes, I'm not the same anymore......"
My heart suddenly brightened, and I suddenly opened my eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.
At the same time, a manic heart, as still as water.
He looked up at the sign, took the topic into his eyes, and was not in a hurry to compose, but still slowly adjusted himself.
The county trial exam lasted for a day, and there was plenty of time, so there was no need to rush.
Chen Sanlang took out a cake from the test basket, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, ate, and then picked up the jug to drink.
After doing these trivial things, I tightened my face and began to close my eyes and think about the topic.
"Well, there is, 'I want to establish people, and I want to reach people', we should take this meaning. β
After a while, Chen Sanlang's face was happy, he picked up the pen and ink, and wrote the paper. A few words at the beginning, the tip of the pen is still a little unstable, the font is flawed, but it doesn't matter, it's just a draft, and when it's written, it's done repeatedly scrutinizing and checking, and then it's okay to copy it again.
He wrote very quickly, one article, in only half an hour, and then the second.
At this moment, it was really a spring of thought. To use a vulgar analogy, it is like holding back a soak of urine for a long time, and finally finding an outlet, gushing out, hearty, without the slightest sense of lag.
It feels so good!
After you write it, check it all over again, word by word.
As soon as noon arrived, Chen Sanlang had already finished copying the two finished articles.
At this time, most of the candidates in the examination room put down their pens and took food out to eat and drink. Writing articles for the entrance exam, mental pressure, extreme worry, and consumption is not small, so you need to supplement your diet at noon, otherwise you will be hungry and your stomach will growl, how can you take the test well?
Dressed in a whole garment, Chen Sanlang suddenly walked out of the examination room with the exam paper and walked towards the He County Order on the main seat.
This scene was noticed by many candidates, and they were all surprised: Is Chen Sanlang going to hand in the papers? How is it possible?
Could it be that he knew that he couldn't pass the test, so he simply became a bachelor and handed in a blank paper?
Regardless, the latter is the most likely.
But the next moment of life made many candidates stunned, and some of them were even so shocked that even the pen in their hands fell to the ground.
I saw that Chen Sanlang not only handed in the papers, but also stood, ready to ask He Zhixian for an interview!
The children's test is far less formal and strict than the township test, and those who are the first to submit the papers can request the examiner to conduct an interview. If you do well in the exam essay and pass the interview, the examiner will approve it on the spot.
He Xianling looked at Chen Sanlang, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. First of all, I read the article and saw that every word was written in good spirits, which made people feel comfortable. Not to mention anything else, just this pen can already make people feel good.
"Well, this article is pertinent, the format is standard, and it's very good!"
In half an hour, He Zhixian finished reading Chen Sanlang's article, held a red pen, and dotted a circle to express his approval.
Chen Sanlang took the opportunity to speak: "Please interview." β
He Zhixian stroked his beard and smiled: This son has been useless in the past three children's examinations, but this year somehow, it seems that he has changed people, and his appearance has suddenly become outstanding. It seems that it should be overcoming the disease of the horror scene in order to have a good swing.
After thinking about it, he said: "Teaching with talent, Taoism with morality, is enough to be a teacher." β
That's the problem.
Chen Sanlang thought for a moment: "Learn without getting tired, teaching without tire, you can be an expression." β
A decent answer is better than a fit in the meaning and does not reveal flaws.
He Zhixian said: "The two of them sit on the soil." β
This one sounds simple, but it is actually extremely difficult, and it belongs to the split word couplet, which is full of mysteries.
Chen Sanlang raised his eyebrows, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he replied, "The sun is bright in January." β
He Zhixian smiled and praised: "Wen Si is sharp and kind." β
Pick up the pen and annotate on Chen Sanlang's exam paper, and write the word "may": "You have been selected in the county examination, just wait for the public list, and you will be known for the next level." β
Chen Sanlang was happy in his heart: "Thank you, sir." β
Under the gaze of a series of surprised and inexplicable eyes, he walked out of the examination room.
Uncle Hua was waiting outside, and when he saw the young master coming out so soon, he couldn't help but look gloomy, thinking that this time, he must have failed the test again, and was thinking about how to comfort him, when he heard Chen Sanlang shouting: "Uncle Hua, you go to the market to buy a big rooster and go home." β
"What do you do when you buy chicken?"
"My county has tried to pass the test, and my mother must be very happy to know it, so she naturally wants to kill chickens and sacrifice to the gods. β
"Ahh
Uncle Hua opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.
