Chapter 273 Queuing up for the exam
Xu Jie was in a bit of a mess.
The Holy Master arranged to preside over the audition early yesterday morning. When he came out of the palace, he met Yan Song and stimulated the old miscreant. Just when he thought he was about to rise to prominence, he was announced to the palace again for no reason the next day, and was slapped down and scolded by Emperor Jiajing.
Xu Jie is a smart man. He lowered his head and listened to the angry curses of the empire controller in Taoist robes, but his heart was racing rapidly.
For the first time, Xu Jie was sure that it was the old thief Yan Song who was responsible. There was no need to think about it. There was no one else but him.
Then Xu Jie understood something: his thighs couldn't break Yan Song's little fingers.
It doesn’t matter, who made my idol Gou Jian.
So, from now on, I will be Gou Jian, but I don’t know if Yan Song is ready to be Fu Cha.
Moreover, things are not that bad. Although he was ignored by the emperor, his intention to preside over the examination has not changed. It should be Jun Wuxi. How could the emperor cancel what he once said? Very good , I still have the capital to make a comeback.
Subjected by the emperor and rejected by his colleagues, Xu Jie vowed to preside over this examination well.
The waves of the sky are easy to thank, but the time is hard to retain.
In life, if there is a gap between heaven and earth, it will happen suddenly.
In a blink of an eye, the day of the national examination is coming.
The procedure for the joint examination is similar to that of the provincial examination. The joint examination is also held in three sessions, each lasting three days. The first session is on the ninth day of the lunar month, the second session is on the twelfth day, and the third session is on the 15th day. Also enter one day first and exit the next day. The three examination questions were nothing more than eight-legged essays and policy questions.
The location of the joint examination is Shuntian Gongyuan in the southeast of the capital.
Zhu Ping'an had received the examination card the day before yesterday. It was issued by the Ministry of Rites based on the applicants. Your personal information is on the examination card, which is similar to a modern admission ticket.
Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen’s families arrived a few days ago, and they took care of all kinds of delicious food and drinks these days, just for the two of them to concentrate on trying. When they went to take the exam, their family members naturally accompanied them to take the exam, and they had no time to take care of Zhu Ping'an.
Zhu Ping'an finished washing up when he was ugly, and embarked on the journey to the exam alone, carrying his own special exam bag.
When Zhu Pingan left the inn with his luggage on his back, three large ships also arrived in Liaocheng, Shandong.
A beautiful girl took a bun-faced maid, accompanied by guards and an old woman, to the tomb of Cao Zhi by the river, burned incense and knelt down to worship. The beautiful girl muttered about toad, but donated A large sum of money was donated to the host to obtain a Wen Si Quan Yong Talisman.
When this beautiful girl silently made a wish toward the capital and kept the Wensiquanyong Talisman close to her body, Zhu Ping'an had already arrived in front of Shuntian Gongyuan with his luggage on his back.
At this time, there was a sea of people in front of Shuntian Gongyuan. Although Yousi had already prepared sufficient manpower, the order was still a bit chaotic for a while.
Shuntian Gongyuan is located in the southeast of Chongwenmen. At this time, in front of Shuntian Gongyuan, there are many candidates from all over the country who have come to take the examination. According to statistics from the Ministry of Rites, this examination Enke, the entire North and South Zhili of the Ming Dynasty A total of 5,121 candidates came to take the examination from 13 provinces.
These 5,121 people are all Juren. Most of the Juren masters have three or five followers to take care of their lives in order to prepare for the exam. In other words, there are about 20,000 people gathered here. . Although some officials sent soldiers and government officials to set up a fence to allow only candidates to enter, there were more than 10,000 people waiting outside the fence.
The place where Zhu Pingan lives is some distance away from Shuntian Gongyuan. When Zhu Pingan arrived at Shuntian Gongyuan, what he saw was this sea of people.
After a lot of effort, Zhu Pingan squeezed to the fence. After the outer gate officer verified Zhu Pingan's identity, he let Zhu Pingan in and queued up to wait for the exam.
The joint examination is divided into fifteen brigades according to the 13 provinces in the north and south, and each candidate queues up according to the administrative division where he or she is located. After Zhu Pingan asked a guard for advice, he followed the guard's instructions and went to the place where the candidates were waiting in line in Nanzhili.
Because there were so many candidates and they were surrounded by strangers, Zhu Pingan didn’t see anyone he knew for a while.
All of you have gone through the county examination, government examination, hospital examination, and township examination all the way. You are all familiar with the procedures of queuing, so everyone queued up and waited for the exam step by step.
However, there are exceptions.
While waiting in line, Zhu Pingan discovered such a strange person.
It was a queue from a province next door. This strange man was a bit fat and looked a bit like the group of distinguished nobles who he met at the gate of the city when he first entered the capital. The last fat man among his children.
This strange fat man is simply a strange flower. Ever since he started queuing up, this fat man has kissed all the things he brought with him one by one, and even made a very loud noise. Voice.
For example, right now, in Zhu Pingan's eyes, the fat man was holding an inkstone and kissing her wildly. After kissing him, he let go and put it into the examination box. Then he took out a hollowed-out writing brush, and again A violent bang-bang-bang.
Although it was now Nanzhili's turn to line up to enter the examination room, the fat man's behavior still attracted the attention of almost all the candidates nearby. Everyone looked at the fat man with silly expressions. All his baggage.
"Uh, this guy is mentally retarded. How can he catch anyone and kiss him?"
"It's not that the exam is coming soon, so I'm so nervous that I'm stupid. It's such a pity. It's not easy for everyone to get to this point. Alas , What a pity.”
“This person is probably a special noble son. Enyin joined the Imperial Academy and came to attend the meeting as a special case. Let’s give it a try. But why did you waste your quota by compensating for such a thing?”
For a while, the people around me were talking about the fat man’s obscene move, pointing fingers, and they were all very confused. He even despised the fat man's behavior and felt that participating in the examination with such a person was simply a humiliating experience.
Fat man turned a blind eye to the glares from everyone and continued his babbob as if no one else was around.
Finally, a polite gentleman behind him couldn't help it anymore, and with a red face he asked the obscene fat man in front of him who was carrying all kinds of luggage:
"My dear friend, what are you doing? Why? "
He was too curious, too incomprehensible, and too intolerable to the fat man's obscene behavior.
After hearing the question from the person behind him, the fat man stopped his babbling movements, put down a bag of food in his hand, wiped his oily paws on his clothes, and then replied with a mysterious look. Said: "This is called kissing (stable)."
Kissed? ! Stable? !
Dizzy, brother, I study a lot, don’t lie to me! (End of this chapter)
