43, Injustice in the imperial examination
Chu Cizheng and Chu Xiaoyuan packed up their things, but Butler Xu got the Zhongliyu's job and came to help them.
Butler Xu was used to doing these things in his early years. He packed things quickly and well. With his help, Chu Ci saved a lot of things. To be honest, he really couldn't sew quilts.
The door of the room was suddenly opened, and a student walked in and then left to check the number. Then he walked in again and asked, "Dare you ask me, are these your family members? Should they be tonight?
Live here?"
"No, they are students of Mengtong Pavilion. Because they are my nephews, they are in the same school as me."
"If a child is playful, if he makes a fuss every day, will it affect our studies? Does the chief of the mountain agree that you will do whatever you want?"
"I'm not thinking well with this brother. Let's do this. I'll go and change to another school building, and then I'll set the space in this room so that I won't disturb you."
If only him and Chu Xiaoyuan were the only ones, he would have to assure others that Chu Xiaoyuan would not make a big fuss, but with an extra young master, two children would inevitably play games or something together, so they could not be too
I've been sure. Chu Ci thought it would be better for the three of them to live there.
"Hmph, are there two bad money? "The student snorted and then went to change the cards. Chu Ci smiled helplessly. This matter was indeed because they were not very thoughtful, but what he didn't expect was that one day he actually turned out to be.
You will also be called a great deal of money. Well, you can really do whatever you want if you have money.
Chu Ci went to the teacher to explain the situation. The teacher said he would ask the mountain leader first, so Chu Ci went to ask the mountain leader again.
This time, Chief Kong Shanshan was easy to talk and nodded directly to agree. Anyway, there are many schoolhouses in the county, and occasionally there are students who really can't get along with others and live alone. They don't advocate this style, but it's really difficult.
I will not disagree if I ask for it.
Chu Ci went to pay the money and felt relieved. The opening ceremony of the Mengtong Pavilion was about to be held this afternoon. There was already someone urging him outside, and even if Mr. Xu was reluctant to leave, he would leave.
After he left, Zhong Liyu sat on the bed, tears could not fall off. He occasionally turned his head to look at Chu Ci and Chu Xiaoyuan, and then quickly turned back, consciously hiding his actions, but in fact they had already noticed them.
"Ahem, it's getting late, let's go for a meal." Chu Ci said.
"Okay! I want to eat a big bowl of rice today." Chu Xiaoyuan agreed. He had been hungry all morning today.
"My friend Zhongli, are you going?"
When Zhongli Yu heard someone calling him, Xiao Zhongli, he smiled shyly, and then remembered what Grandpa Xu said, "Uncle Chu can call me Yu'er."
"Okay, Yu'er, Xiaoyuan, let's go for a meal." Chu Ci held one with one hand, took his own food box, and went to the county school cafeteria.
There are three types of canteen dishes: A, B, and C.
Cuisine A is a meal with one meat, two vegetarians and white rice, twenty-five cents per meal. Cuisine B is a meal with one meat, one vegetarians and white rice, twenty-five cents per meal. Cuisine C is a meal with two vegetarians and brown rice, twenty-five cents per meal.
In the past, Chu Ci ate C vegetable, but the other two were too expensive and he couldn't afford it. Moreover, even C vegetable, the oil and water were more than at home, and occasionally he would use the remaining oil residue after refining to cook for them.
Even if the people who attended the county school paid the money for the repair, they were not all rich. Like Chu Ci, those who ate Cooked vegetables often came to make food at the end and were timid. For fear that others will see it.
Chu Ci looked at the dishes and then asked the two children about their opinions. Zhong Liyu pointed directly at the two meaty ones in the dishes A and B, indicating that he wanted to eat them. Chu Xiaoyuan looked at the price on the brand and then firmly said that he was It means you want to eat C dish.
In the end, Chu Ci handed over the food box and brought three portions of A dish. Now they are not short of money.
Not to mention the fifty taels I paid from Zhang Wenhai’s family, just talking about his question collection, he should have paid out the money in the past few days. He accounted for one fifth of the proportion at that time, and the net profit after removing a series of costs .
This collection of topics is very popular. Even if it sells less, there should be three or four thousand. Chu Ci guessed that he would get at least 100 taels of silver this time.
Once the money is available, the family can repair the house. It just so happened that he and Chu Xiaoyuan were not at home, so he asked his mother and brother and sister-in-law to rent a house to live in another family, and then go back when the house is ready. At that time, their little daughter should have been born.
After dinner, after sitting in the room for a while, Chu Ci asked the two little girls to carry cloth bags and take them to Mengtong House to wait.
Mengtong Pavilion is about ten minutes away from the imperial examination class. There is a small goalkeeper in the northwest corner connecting the two places. It usually doesn't open very much, and only dining will open for half an hour.
There is also a curfew at night. Those who don’t come back after the time will have to record their names. Those who have more than three times will drop out of school. For example, Chu Xiaoyuan and Zhongliyu, they must register with the Master and the concierge.
"Xiaoyuan, you should listen carefully to your sir here, don't mess around, I'll pick you up in the evening." Chu Ci squatted down and touched Chu Xiaoyuan's head and comforted him. This kid looks like a little adult on weekdays It's like that, after all, I'm only eight years old.
On the other side, he looked at Zhongliyu with his head lowered his nose a little sore. His father had never treated him like this, he had no uncle, only a little uncle, and he was still very fierce. He was so pitiful.
Chu Ci felt that he was negligent, so he was about to touch Zhongliyu's little head and instructed: "Yu'er, you'll be with Brother Xiaoyuan. You two will sit together later. Uncle Chu will come to pick you up after you study. .”
"Well! Uncle Chu, I will be obedient!" Zhong Liyu raised his head and smiled sweetly at Chu Ci.
Chu Xiaoyuan snorted softly, expressing his despise of this flattery.
Seeing the two of them go in, Chu Ci took his own things to his husband's place. The imperial examination class has not yet started yet, and he has to wait until the annual event of the county examination is over.
On February 15th, the government will be tested.
The Prefecture Examination and the College Examination were originally going to take the exam, but because the days were close and the distance was too far, there was a case where the student who was taking the exam was robbed and killed on the way. Later, it was decided that the Prefecture Examination and the College Examination and the College Examination and the College Examination were robbed and killed on the way. The college entrance examination only sent invigilators to each county, and the papers were revised in one place. This year it was just the turn of Yuanshan County.
The difficulty of the scholar's examination is the most difficult for the government examination, the second is the county examination, and the last for the college examination.
In addition to the fifty people who won this class, there are more than twenty who only passed the county exam in the previous class. In fact, only forty-nine people are required to participate in this class, because The county test case must be won in the capital test, and the government test case must be won in the first court test.
However, the person who can win the case head of the county examination naturally hopes that his prefecture and county examinations can also be obtained. At that time, he can also add luster to his reputation as a scholar.
After one game, Zhang Wenhai was not as happy as the last game. He had never done the title of this essay. Although he had written it out, he always felt that he was not as good as Chu Ci had corrected it. Fang Jinyang seemed to be in his heart, and there was no darkness between his eyebrows and eyes.
The color.
There are seven county towns in Ganzhou Prefecture, and each county town has almost 70 or 80 people participating in the prefecture examination. Before these people take one hundred of them to participate in the college entrance examination, fifty people are selected as scholars. The competition is still relatively large, after all, everyone
All passed the county test.
The results were released on February 17, and each county and government office posted one. All the invigilators of the government test gathered in one place to correct and then obtained the results.
This time, Zhang Wenhai and Fang Jinyang were both squeezed down and waiting. The moment the list was posted, everyone's hearts were raised in their throats.
"Fang Jinyang, Yong'an Town, Yuanshan County, is the head of the case!" Someone shouted loudly after seeing it. Everyone was very happy that the top spot was in Yuanshan County this time.
"Fang Jinyang?! If I remember correctly, he was obviously the last county exam, so why could he suddenly rise to the first place this time?" After seeing it, a student looked angry and felt that there was something dirty in his heart.
Things are here.
"Yes, I remember he was the last one."
"The last case leader Qi Zhigao ranked sixth this time. Why can Fang Jinyang make such great progress in a few days?"
The voices of discussion were getting louder and louder, and people called out "Injustice to the imperial examination", which made Fang Jinyang, who was originally immersed in joy, feel a little at a loss.
Zhang Wenhai ranked 32nd this time, although he was not as good as the county exam, but he was also very satisfied. Fang Jinyang achieved good results and he was also happy for him. Suddenly, he heard so many voices of attacking him, and Zhang Wenhai was furious.
"Jinyang, he-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's go together.
The three of them left quietly in anger. Fortunately, everyone didn't know who Fang Jinyang was, otherwise they would have been sprayed to death by saliva today.
When he reached a remote place, Zhang Wenhai was finally able to speak: "Brother Chu, why did you cover my mouth just now and prevent me from whitewashing the grievances for Jinyang?"
"You say they can listen now? Then the more they explain, the more chaotic it becomes, maybe the fight will be inevitable if the crowd is angry. Brother Zhang, even if you have the ability to fight against Zhuge Kongming, you will have Lu Fengxianwan, then you have Lu Fengxianwan, even if you have the ability to talk about the words and fight against the scholars.
Is it unfair to be brave?" Chu Ci first stopped him.
Then he said, "It's the entrance of the county government. These scholars are so noisy that they will definitely alarm them later. Wouldn't it be better for us to state the grievances in front of our parents? Besides, Brother Fang was also personally taken by the county magistrate.
”
They shouted "unfairly" and wanted to go to the Confucius Temple to "cry". This behavior was originally to question the judgement of the examiners and challenge the prestige of the county magistrate.
More and more people there gathered, and even those who failed to pass the county examination came. It was said that it was unfair to the imperial examination, and Fang Jinyang occupied the position and caused them to fail the exam.
In the county yamen, everyone was resting, but after listening to the yamen's report, the county magistrate was unhappy first.
"These students are so outrageous? They gathered outside the court and roared. Now they dare to question the examiner and arrest the ones who are the most terrifying!"
The adults who came to invigilator for the imperial examination are all here at this moment. If they can't control them, wouldn't they be famous? Besides, they are not scholars, and they will be caught as soon as they are innocent.
"Sir, this is inappropriate. If there are only a few candidates outside the door, we can still kill the chicken to warn the monkey. But now there are hundreds of people gathering outside. If the troublemaker is caught, I am afraid that the crowd will do something irrational in anger. Then the time comes
Instead, it will expand the situation and be difficult to deal with."
The master immediately stopped him, and his fortune was all about the county magistrate, so he must not make mistakes.
