Chapter 132 The exam date is up
Time is precious, there are 24 hours in a day, and there will not be a minute or a second more.
Even if Zhu Pingan cherishes time, the gaps between his fingers are too wide and time is too thin, so time still slips quietly between his fingers. The sky can be mended, the sea can be filled, and the southern mountains can be moved. The sun and the moon have passed and cannot be traced back.
As Zhu Pingan worked diligently and diligently to prepare for the examination, the pace of the college examination was already approaching.
"Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu, let's go, let's go." Fatty Xue Chi knocked on Zhu Ping'an's door.
Zhu Ping'an, who was reading a book, opened the door and saw the fat man Xue Chi with a green forehead standing in front of his door with an excited look on his face, as if he had gotten a huge advantage.
"Why are you so anxious? The door was smashed, you have to pay for it." Zhu Pingan had just finished the topic and was about to finish the eight-legged essay in one go, when he was disturbed by the sound of the fat man banging on the door. It was all gone, so he looked at the fat man with an unkind look on his face.
"What's the matter? Mr. Tixueguan has just announced the examination dates for each prefecture during the college examination in front of the gate of Gongyuan. Everyone has gone out to see it. Let's go. Go quickly. If you are late, there will be no good place. "Yes." Fatty Xue Chi's fat face trembled with excitement as he spoke.
According to usual practice, the examinations of Nanzhili Academy presided over by the academic officials are held in Yingtian Jiangnan Gongyuan, because there are 14 prefectures in Nanzhili, including Yingtian Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, and Fengyang Prefecture. The government just passed this year plus the number of children who usually pass, this number is quite large, so even if everyone takes the examination at Yingtian Jiangnan Gongyuan, they are still in batches. The Southern Zhili Academy Examination is basically divided into two batches every year. As a rule, the first batch is from several prefectures around Yingtian Prefecture. After the first batch is completed, the second batch will be conducted in other prefectures. Don't worry about leaking questions. The questions in the two batches of college examinations are different. There is no need to worry about the different difficulty levels of the questions leading to different scores and unfairness, because the test questions are the same for candidates in all prefectures, and the college examination results are also distributed separately to each prefecture. Each prefecture has a fixed number of places to pass. According to the literary style of each place and the amount of money and food, it is divided into large, medium and small. The bigger prefectures have more places, and the smaller prefectures have relatively fewer places. The big prefecture has 40 people, the middle one has 40 people. 30 people in the big house and 20 people in the small house. Zhongyingtianfu, Fengyangfu, and Suzhoufu in South Zhili are the major prefectures, and the other prefectures are all Zhongfu.
Routines are routines, but no one can guarantee that there will be no changes this year. The so-called plan cannot keep up with the changes. The order of each college examination is based on the exam schedule announced by the academic officer.
"What are you doing standing around, let's go quickly." Fatty Xue Chi urged with a chubby face.
Under Fat Xue Chi’s repeated urging, Zhu Ping’an closed the door and went downstairs towards Jiangnan Gongyuan with Fat Xue Chi.
Before I reached Jiangnan Gongyuan, I heard a lot of people talking and talking. It seemed that there were changes in the examination period of each government this year.
As we approached Jiangnan Gongyuan, we couldn’t walk. There were too many people. Children from all prefectures came to see the exam signs. No matter how wide the gate of Jiangnan Gongyuan was, it couldn’t bear it.
"Copy the exam hanging cards, verbatim, 20 words per copy." At this time, some shrewd businessmen and vendors rushed to copy hundreds of exam hanging cards and sold them on the spot, which made a lot of money. There was a lot of money.
"Give me two." The fat man took out a handful of money from his pocket and waved it at the vendor.
After the hawker came to collect the money, he gave the fat man two copies of the copy. After the fat man received it, he gave one to Zhu Pingan. Zhu Ping'an didn't refuse, he took it in his hand and started to read it.
Sure enough, this time the academic officials have made major adjustments to the examination periods of each prefecture. Although they are also divided into two batches, they are very different from previous years.
The Master Ti Xue Guan divided the fourteen prefectures into two batches during the examination period. The first batch was seven prefectures, namely Yingtian Prefecture, Fengyang Prefecture, Huai'an Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, The examination time for Anqing Prefecture and Chizhou Prefecture is tomorrow; the second batch is for the remaining Songjiang Prefecture, Changzhou Prefecture, Zhenjiang Prefecture, Luzhou Prefecture, Taiping Prefecture, Ningguo Prefecture, and Huizhou Prefecture, and the examination period will be three days later. Candidates must gather at the gate of Jiangnan Gongyuan at 10 o'clock on the day of the examination (equivalent to 5 to 6 o'clock in the morning) and enter by roll call.
"Hahaha, Brother Zhu, we can take the exam in the same batch." Fatty Xue Chi looked at the contents of the exam cards and smiled so hard that he could hardly find his eyes.
"Yes." Zhu Pingan responded lightly.
"To celebrate the fact that we are taking the exam in the same batch, my brother is treating me to a treat. We will not go home until we get drunk today." The fat man said and asked Zhu Ping'an to go to the restaurant with him.
Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an almost couldn't help but kick the fat man's face two sizes wider. Damn it, there is an exam tomorrow. You can't return until your sister is drunk!
"I just finished breakfast, no need." Zhu Pingan replied lightly.
"That's okay. Let's go, I wish us success in passing the hospital examination and not returning until we are drunk..." The fat man was very enthusiastic, and the golden lock around his neck was dazzling.
Damn, I won’t come back until I’m drunk, I’ll take a math test tomorrow!
In response, Zhu Ping'an responded calmly, "I bought a bag last year!"
"Bag? Purse? I bought it last year, what can I say now? , let's go..." Fatty Xue Chi remained enthusiastic and not worried at all about tomorrow's exam.
Come on, the ancients didn’t understand the mystery.
"Forget it, I have to go back and hug the Buddha." Zhu Ping'an was determined not to join the same trap as the fat man.
"Oh, you are usually diligent enough, and you still study so hard. You will have the exam tomorrow, so you won't miss it this day." The fat man pouted and said helplessly.
"I advise you to go back and read a book. There is an exam tomorrow. You have to rush to the gate of Gongyuan early in the morning for roll call. If you are not drunk, you will have to take the test. After the exam, you will not be drunk until you return. It's not too late." Zhu Pingan patted the fat man on the shoulder and walked to the inn.
"Oh, oh, Brother Zhu, wait for me..."
Fat Xue Chi chased Zhu Ping'an and shouted, "Then we have an agreement, We won’t go home until we’re drunk after the exam, hahaha, when the time comes, my brother will take you to the other side to open your eyes...”
In the end, the fat man went back to the attic to read under Zhu Pingan’s persuasion. As for the effect, , then I don’t know.
Zhu Pingan returned to the inn, sat at the table, and recalled all the memories of the eight-part essay he had read in the past. Thanks to his rebirth, his memory was surprisingly good in this life.
Most of the other students in the inn are holding their papers to prepare for the college entrance examination. The business of Jinfenyulou on the other side of the Qinhuai River has also been reduced by most of the time. Those who are still promoting their consumption are some outstanding people, either confident or You are conceited, otherwise how could you stay in Wenwen Township?
One step further will lead to a brighter future, and one step back will bring shame and shame.
It was late at night and the inn was brightly lit. Students and scholars rarely sat in front of the window to study and prepare for exams. I don’t know how many students and scholars lost sleep that night. (End of this chapter)
