Chapter Twenty-Eight: It is difficult to make a living, and the hospital examination begins

(If nothing else, there will be a change later!Today, I saw that there were eighty-four moon cakes, and I had to tell my wife not to buy moon cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival, haha, thank you!)

The market is bustling and the crowd is bustling.

"Sorry, we don't accept the pen and ink of unknown people, so go find another store. ”

Chen Sanlang dressed up and went out proudly: I slandered in my heart: A guy who doesn't know the goods!

......

"You think you can write...... Hey, I'm the boss, I don't think it's okay, the guests don't think it's okay, that's not ......"

Chen Sanlang held back his indignation and continued to the next one.

......

"You don't have to show me, if a group of people come every day to show me pen and ink, do I still want to go out and don't hinder my business!"

Chen Sanlang left in a gloomy manner.

......

"I've seen a lot of scholars like you, and I can write Braille, so I think I'm a calligrapher. I always think that I don't meet talents, and I always feel that if you are given a chance, you will be able to do something. If you are really so confident and so sure, why don't you set up a desk on the side of the street, and see if anyone buys it? It's not as good as this, this "Evening Sunny Pavilion Post" is made by the famous "Jingui Mountain Guest", a 20% discount, 23 taels of silver sold to you. If you buy it and think about it day and night, it will definitely be of great benefit...... Hey, don't go, it's expensive, you can discuss it again......"

Chen Sanlang fled.

After turning three streets and asking nearly ten shops, he had to accept the harsh reality. However, I was always unwilling in my heart, and as soon as I gritted my teeth, I really had to buy a desk and prepare to open a stall on the street.

But when I looked at the street, I was dumbfounded.

There are quite a lot of streets in Nanyang Province, but the main road that is popular is full of stalls on both sides, where is there still a place to intervene?

Chen Sanlang carried the table around to find a place, walked a long way, finally saw a small piece of open space, a joy in his heart, just about to pass, he saw a ragged figure rushed to the front very quickly, rolled to the clearing, slept there, and then felt out a broken bowl and put it on the ground, holding a bamboo stick to knock on the broken bowl: "Kind, blessed, give a penny......

stared at Chen Sanlang with his eyes hooked, and he had to stare at the scholar until he paid for it.

"What kind of world, rob my stall and ask me to give money!"

Chen Sanlang spat indignantly, picked up the table and continued to search.

The table wasn't too heavy, but it was extremely difficult to walk so long with his bones. It didn't take long for me to gasp and sweat.

After a quarter of an hour, I finally found a place at the mouth of a relatively remote alleyway and put down the table. After a short break, I began to put the four treasures of the study.

Chen Sanlang is gearing up and looking forward to his self-pride: It is said that the Taizu Shengshang of this dynasty was from a humble background, and his life was difficult when he was a teenager, and he made a living by weaving straw shoes and selling shoes. From a shoe stall to the next world, it only took 30 years.

Since Taizu's foundation can start from a shoe stall, his Chen Sanlang's splendid future starts from a word stall, and the starting point is already a level higher in comparison.

Put the belongings in order, everything is ready, and send the guests to patronize.

"Well, who gave you permission to set up a stall here?"

It was not a guest, but a fat-faced servant -- a servant of this world who wore many hats, patrolling, guarding, arresting, business, and so on.

Chen Sanlang was a little weak-hearted: "Brother Yacha, can't you set up a stall here?"

Yacha grasped the saber at his waist with one hand, and his momentum was mighty: "It's not impossible, but you have to pay a booth fee, 20 wen per day, and 500 wen per month." ”

A fat hand stretched out in front of Chen Sanlang's eyes: "Save trouble, pay enough for a month." ”

Chen Sanlang's eyes widened, and he said hesitantly: "Xiaosheng's business hasn't opened yet, and there is no money, can you slow down ......?"

Syllable!

Yacha slapped the table: "If you don't have money, you can't set up a stall if you don't have money! Go away quickly, otherwise it will all be confiscated." ”

Chen Saburo hurriedly picked up the table and fled, like a homeless snail with a heavy burden on his back.

When I returned to the inn, my whole body was tired and sore, as if I was about to fall apart, and I lay on the bed, unable to move for a long time.

On the first day he tried, his beautiful dream of selling words for a living was gorgeously disillusioned.

Life is never easy.

Chen Sanlang decided to run aground, so let's concentrate on preparing for the college exam first. This is the most important difficulty at present, but don't lose a big one because of a small one, and you can't get famous, then it's funny.

For the next few days, he locked himself in his room and worked hard to brush up on his schoolwork.

Time flies quickly, and it is the day when the college examination officially begins. Early in the morning, Chen Sanlang packed up his things and rushed to the examination room of the examination institute.

I thought that after the elimination of the previous county examination, there would be fewer candidates participating in the hospital examination, but when I came to the sidelines, the number of people seemed to be much more than that of the county examination.

What's the situation?

Chen Sanlang watched curiously and saw a large number of strange-looking people, many of whom were quite old, and even had gray heads. can look at their clothes, and they don't look like family members who sent them to the exam. After looking around, Chen Sanlang finally understood: these candidates should be old children who have taken the children's examination countless times but have not taken the college examination in the end.

Tongsheng is not famous, but if you get a child, you don't need to take the county test and the government test every time you take the Xiucai exam in the future, you can take the college exam directly.

As the most important exam for the promotion of Xiucai, the specifications and difficulty of the college examination have been greatly increased compared with the previous two levels, and the chief examiner is the Admiral Xuezheng who is personally present to supervise. Xuezheng is an official of the third grade, subordinate to the imperial court, and generally born in the Hanlin Academy. In terms of official rank, it is one level higher than the prefect.

It can be seen that the imperial court attaches great importance to the hospital examination.

In each session of the children's examination, the number of children who are stuck in the hospital examination is quite large, accumulating year by year, and over time, a huge group has been formed, and it is not surprising that there are more candidates than the county and government examinations.

In the Xia Yu Dynasty, learning from the old to the old is basically the creed that every reader abides by. For many old children, they can't get into the show, they can't be blinded, and they flock to every college exam, and their perseverance is amazing.

However, this situation is different when it comes to the township test, and the qualifications to participate in the township test need to be recommended, and not all talents in the world can participate. In comparison, the threshold is a lot higher, and a large number of old talents can be filtered out, otherwise, no matter how big the examination room is, it will be bloated and unbearable, and it will not be beneficial to the national selection of talents.

As time passed, more and more people came to the examination room.

Chen Sanlang met He Weiyang - he also passed the government examination and became a child.

Isn't He Weiyang's side the guarantor Qin Yushu?

Seeing Chen Sanlang, Qin Yushu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. As a student of Nanyang College, he is invited by many candidates to be a guarantor in the children's examination every year.

It is a very good business, and you don't have to do anything at all, just go to the site every time you take the exam to confirm it, and then sit and count the silver - this is a very good income.

In addition to counting the silver, the extra filial piety of the guarantor is also quite considerable, and as for the big banquet and small drinks, it is even more leisurely. And when the guarantor has passed the children's examination and won the fame of Xiucai, they are naturally very respectful and grateful to the guarantor, and they are called "seniors".

In many cases, this love reward is often more valuable than the insurance person's compensation.

Over the years, there have been many candidates who Qin Yushu has guaranteed, but he has never met someone like Chen Sanlang. How to say it, Chen Sanlang is like a stunned young man, too ignorant of life.

Fortunately, this college exam is the last one, otherwise Chen Sanlang would have slapped him in the face every time he took the exam, and this feeling was really unbearable.

Thinking of Chen Sanlang's absoluteness towards Shangchaoshan Temple, and the enthusiastic reaction of all parties in the literary world after the news spread, Qin Yushu was so aggrieved that he almost rushed up to beat Chen Sanlang, especially that hateful face, he had to step on his feet to relieve his anger......

At this time, a gong sounds: the candidates are inspected and entered.
