Chapter 9 The Mind Intentionally Writes Itself
After a short time, the candidates all received their papers and put their papers in their bags. From this time on, the candidates could not talk to each other, and there were people watching along the way, so they each took the examination equipment, carried the examination basket, and entered the two-story Gongyuan gate. After entering the door, I saw that there were many inspectors sent by the state government sitting on both sides of the public desk, checking the names of the students, and then a special person led the candidates into the special dormitory for the examination.
Sun Xu came to the last room in the first row, and the number of soldiers who had their own invigilators reached out from the low fence of the room to take a test kit that Sun Xu was carrying and put it on the side of the room, and Sun Xu was still waiting to open the fence for him to let him in! The house stood up, unable to straighten its waist, and lay down, unable to stretch its legs. Eating, drinking, sleeping, and writing are all in this place. If it weren't for the two treasures of this place, about the world's scholars, who would not have come to the thousands of rivers and mountains for no reason to taste such a taste.
Sun Xu rested for a while, nailed the prepared oiled paper curtain to the wall, divided the two wooden planks in the number, and put the clothes and hats, bowls and furniture, and food all together. This matter was not done by him alone, he had been clothed and fed since he was a child, and the trivial matters should either be done for him by a maid, or the four sisters of Ah Shi arranged it, and they came over to do things for the first time, and they were in a hurry. Fortunately, the army who served in the first few rooms was a local, who knew Sun Gongzi's name and had seen Sun Gongzi in person, so he was doubly attentive and quickly arranged.
After a while, the gong sounded, and then a few people came to check the number, and after the inspection was completed, the gong sounded again. After a while, someone came over to stop and handed out the question paper with exam questions, Sun Xu took it, just glanced at it, then made pen and ink, showed the exam paper, and wrote the Taoist scriptures first. When I was sleepy in writing, I collected the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, removed the wooden board used for writing, cooperated with the wooden board on the ground, and took out the prepared bedding, and lay down here, although I couldn't even stretch my legs completely, but I could only do that.
The army outside the wall saw that this boy was sleeping like this, and he didn't know if he was a master of art or had no ink on his chest, so he could only find Zhou Gong as a companion. However, the family is the son of Fu Yin, and there are countless family assets, so the imperial examination is hopeless, and it is also worry-free.
When Sun Xu was asleep, he was dazed, only listening to the quiet outside, sometimes the gong sounded, and when he was full of sleep, he saw that it was already night, and he was a little hungry in his stomach, so he went to the examination basket to take out the small dishes to eat, the charcoal stove, and heated the meal. After you are full of wine and food, tidy up the cover, then put up the horizontal plate, and write.
At the end of the afternoon application, an examiner came out to collect the paper, and when the paper was finished, someone came to collect the question paper. All the items were in order, and the students were allowed to leave.
Sun Xu walked out of the gate of the Tribute Academy, and saw Ah Shi standing with another woman outside the gate early, the woman was so pretty, only attracted the attention of the surroundings, but saw that she was dressed in pink, her appearance was dignified, and three thousand green silk fell, only tied with a pink hairband, and the woman's skin lined with pink color revealed a faint pink, which was beautiful, and her phoenix eyes flashed slightly, obviously waiting for someone in the examination room. Ah Shi next to him is still dressed in men's clothes yesterday, and the two of them are together, but they have a feeling of a golden boy and a girl. Everyone else thought, "Who are these two people waiting for?"
As soon as Ah Shi and the woman in pink saw Sun Xu coming out, they hurriedly greeted him and gave a salute, one took the test basket, and the other took the miscellaneous items. When the three of them were together, someone had already recognized it, "Is this the prince of Fu Yin?" I heard that the dragon of the prince of the mansion Yin has seen the head but not the tail, there are many miracles, and when I see it today, it seems to be no different from us?"
These words have already been followed by others, but it was Fan Sheng, who was scared half to death by the hanged ghost, "Hmph, what kind of romantic character? It's just a shadowy life, what is there to be proud of?" He was originally a commoner, how could the wife of the chaff in the family compare to the fairy-like woman in pink in front of him? In addition, he was a student who had passed the real examination, and he had an indescribable sense of superiority in his heart, and he said sarcastically.
There are not only examinees, but also family members of examinees, officials and businessmen, and civilians who have not used the favors of the Sun Mansion on weekdays? At present, many people can't help but have a look of indignation on their faces.
"Fan Sheng's words are wrong, Sun Laofu Yin is a benchmark in Shilin, he has been in Jinhua for decades, and he has made a lot of political achievements, you are also a beneficiary, how can you talk like this?" Another candidate next to him was a fellow villager of Fan Sheng, and seeing that the people around him had the intention of beating Fan Sheng, he hurriedly said.
"The family of merchants, how can they flaunt Shilin? It's a shame for my generation!" These words not only humiliated the Sun Mansion, but even the surrounding merchants were brought in.
At that moment, a few tall people surrounded him, and someone said in a loud voice, "The one surnamed Fan, I worked to help when I was giving food to Sun Mansion in the spring of this year, but I saw you go to get food, not to mention, and after receiving it, Tian shamelessly changed clothes and went a few more times." Speaking of this, he saw that the man walked up to Fan Sheng and made a gesture to fight, "Let me ask you, the family of the merchant cannot be flaunted as a scholar, why can you accept the grain of the merchant calmly? The first emperor has already made it clear that he will open a department to obtain scholars, but he does not ask about his background in terms of talent and learning, if he talks about his background, what about the old privy envoy? What about the former secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs? A dog-like figure still dares to talk about his origin?"
Fan Sheng saw that this person was tall and big, and his words were full of fierceness, thinking that he could not defeat him, so he retreated again and again, looked at the air, and hurriedly ran, shouting as he ran, "Read the book of the saint, speak the heart of the saint, what is wrong with me?
Seeing that this Fan Sheng was so timid, everyone couldn't help laughing and said, "Fan Sheng, you are in high school, don't forget to ask me to wait for the reincarnation wine." As soon as he heard this, Fan Sheng's face was full of shame, he stopped speaking, and with a little force on his feet, he left the tribute courtyard as if flying.
And Ah Shi, who had long wanted to teach this Fan Sheng, who didn't know what to do, saw that everyone supported Master Fu Yin so much, so he knew why Fu Yin put grain three times a year and gave countless porridge. But she didn't understand what the word reincarnation meant. asked an insider at the moment, and the three of Sun Xu laughed when they heard it.
It turned out that this Fan Sheng's reputation was famous, and his family was poor and inflexible, and he was pedantic. In his early years, he went to his house as a guest, and saw a bowl of yellow water on the table at the master's house, so he thought it was the rice wine used to entertain him. I don't want it to be a bowl of boy's urine, which is used to ward off evil spirits, and boy's urine is also known as reincarnation wine, if it is not necessary, who is willing to drink people's urine?
Since then, if this mad life has offended people, people who know about it will use reincarnation wine to attack Fan Sheng, although Fan Sheng is arrogant, but he still knows the word shame, every time he hears about it, he is naturally ashamed and unstoppable, hiding his face and running away.
