Chapter 133: Is it difficult to become a scholar?

Tao Yuchen only said one sentence: "I am unwilling to lose to others." Then he asked Adult Tixue to give up the idea of ​​making bad things.

On the afternoon of the next day, a servant from the Tixue Yamen went to the docks and hotels where the children of each prefecture were located, and posted the list of the hospital examinations. The candidates flocked to search for the list of their prefectures. But this time most people were in a relatively relaxed mood when they looked at the list.

Because in the "county court" and "town meeting hall" in the Ming Dynasty, the first two-level three-level examination system, the "county court" and "town meeting" were used to eliminate candidates, while the last level of the "college examination" and "denomination examination" were based on ranking and allocation... This is particularly obvious in the palace examination. Generally, as long as you are in the Chinese style of the examination, as long as you don't get dizzy and get confused, you will get a "golden list title" if you are good at it.

The college examination is similar in nature to the palace examination, and it is also to divide the candidates who stand out in the previous exams, and decide whether they will go to the prefecture school or the county school to study. However, the college examination is still not as comfortable as the palace examination because it also has a certain elimination rate. Overall, about 70% of them were admitted, but because the teaching level of each prefecture is different, some prefectures and counties are on the list, while others are only 50% to 60%.

But overall, compared to the cruelty of winning one of the county exams and winning one of the government exams for fifteen, this game is undoubtedly heaven.

Before Shen Mo could see, several Kuaiji candidates came over and bowed to him and said with a smile: "Congratulations to senior brother, you have become the first little three-yuan in our mansion in decades."

Shen Mo looked at Tao Yuchen who was slowly walking over from a distance. Seeing him nodding at him with a smile, Zhan Yan finally smiled with relief and bowed to the same year who congratulated everyone.

At this time, more and more people gathered. Almost all the 170 candidates from Shaoxing City surrounded him and congratulated Shen Mo sincerely. It was harder to impress them in their knowledge and character than to ascend them.

But Shen Mo did it, and he had become the unscrupulous leader of these Shaoxing scholars.

After saying good things, it was supposed to be sent a red envelope, but Shen Mo was already empty and could only smile embarrassedly: "When I go back, I will invite everyone to drink at the best restaurant." Everyone knew that he had contributed all the money, so they naturally understood. The rich candidate whispered: "We should invite our senior brother!"

Many people agreed and said, "Yes, yes, if we didn't have the righteous act of our senior brother, we would definitely not be able to get such a good exam in the exam."

Shen Mo then remembered and asked, "How many have we passed the exam in total in the two counties?"

"There are 63 counties in the top 100 people in our palace!" The candidates said excitedly: "This score is unprecedented!"

Shen Mo was also excited when he heard this, and his voice was a little sharp: "So many? Wouldn't you basically pass the exam?"

"Yes, we have 63 places for 100 places in the provincial schools," the candidates said happily: "In addition, each county school will get 50, and a total of 163 will pass the exam!" Such a high admission rate has never happened. In addition to the strong strength of the candidates in the two counties, it has a lot to do with their early entry.

Because Shaoxing Prefecture is at the last entry, if you go in step by step, you will definitely not be able to get the exam seat. This is June. If there is no shaded exam seat, you just sit under the sun. It is estimated that the possibility of heatstroke is much greater than that of Chinese style.

Chen Si was also very happy. After laughing with everyone for a while, he raised his hands slightly, and the crowd calmed down. He heard him say loudly: "When we go back, we will jointly write a book. Please tell me that Xuedao is very kind and record the seven people of the same year. A gentleman has the beauty of becoming an adult, and I believe that the Xuedao is willing to fulfill this story."

Everyone cheered, shouted and danced, and their enthusiasm was so high that people around them looked at each other... or envious.

Since the results were out, everyone decided to leave this ghost place immediately... This trip to Hangzhou was treated like a prisoner, which made the candidates really lose their favor for the long-awaited paradise.

But when the boatman was about to pull the board, a carriage from the Tixue Yamen drove into the dock. The official in the carriage shouted: "Master Tixue invites the five masters of each government to attend the hairpin banquet!"

Chen Mo and Tao Yuchen had to come out of the boat, and everyone said, "We are waiting for you two."

The two of them discussed in a low voice and said with a smile: "No need, I don't know when, let's go back on the passenger boat." Everyone thought about it, and told them to be careful, so they said goodbye.

Chen Si and Tao Yuchen stood on the dock. Looking at the big ship gradually fading away and the water bird behind the ship, Chen Si suddenly said softly: "It's really not easy..."

Tao Yuchen nodded with deep emotion and said in a deep voice: "It's really not easy to get one in the past ten years of hard study and the cruel exams in the past six months!"

Chen Shu was stunned at first, then smiled faintly, "Yes." In fact, what he was feeling was a deeper level - he thought of his father from the difficulty of being a scholar in the middle school...

Originally, in Shen Mo's opinion, my father's life was absolutely failure. He failed many tests, his family property was ruined, his wife was sick and had no money to treat him, and he was still hacked when he was a house. When his son was seriously injured, he would not even be able to do the house. If he hadn't met Miss Yin, his son would have died. Then he would not say anything, and he would have gone to the street to sell something and almost made him unable to take care of himself.

All of this silence is seen in my eyes. Although I never say it, I always look down on my father in my heart. Although he conceals it well, he can also see the clues from his daily performance... First of all, when the father and son are alone, he never use respect but treats it as a friend. Although he is intimate, he loses respect. You must know that he is very respectful when treating outsiders and has always been known as a "humble gentleman". Why is he never humble when treating his own father? This is the reason why he is despised by his thoughts.

What is more obvious is that he has too strong control over his father. He must do whatever step he should do. If he doesn't do it, he will force him to do it. It can be said that the relationship between him and his son is completely reversed, his son is strong and his father is weak, so when he hears that kind of thing, he becomes angry. He is obviously thinking that he is too different from Xu Xian's age. In fact, it is better to say that he is angry that he is taking his own initiative and breaking away from his own control.

If Chen He is really a complete loser, then he deserves this. But when Chen Mo personally experienced a test for the child life and knew how cruel the elimination rate was, he suddenly realized that being able to become a scholar is a great success in life! This at least proves that you are better than 95% of the child life in the entire palace!

How can people who can get the top 300 exams in more than 5,000 candidates be said to be losers? The reason why life is difficult is that the imperial examination is too cruel and the Zhejiang provincial examination is too cruel.

When I saw those spirits of the same year, I saw that Chen He was one of them twenty years ago. He stepped onto the ship returning home with confidence, looked back at Hangzhou, and shouted in a young and frivolous voice: "On the day I come again, I will definitely win the Sui Ban!"

With such a proud experience and in such a moral society where "the king is the leader of the minister and the father is the leader of the son", you can imagine how much pressure this reversal of the father-son relationship will bring to the father. However, Chen He never showed it - because he knew that his son was better than him and his son was good for him. When he was tortured by the time, his son was his life-saving straw.

Chen Shu finally realized that the father must be in pain, because he lost something called "dignity" in front of his son. Even if he became the third in command of the county, he still said nothing in front of his son... Gratitude and pain were entangled, and the old man must be very eager for liberation.

The ice in the silent heart suddenly became loose. He seemed to understand the reason why his father was anxious to revive his strings - he wanted to regain his dignity from other places, so as to get rid of the current state of tangled status without dignity, happiness but not happiness.

Youyou sighed, and he said to himself: "Watch it a different standpoint, the old man is actually not that hateful."

"Who is hateful?" Tao Yuchen saw that he was in a daze for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Who is the oldest?" He glanced silently and left.

Tao Yuchen followed and said with a smile: "After dinner, let's go to West Lake?"

Chen Si shook his head and said, "I want to go back quickly, I'm a little homesick."

Tao Yuchen widened his eyes and said, "I always thought you were very heartless."

"No matter how big the heart is, there is a home inside." Chen Jing turned his eyes and then walked forward for a while.

Looking at his fairy-like back, Tao Yuchen shook his head and smiled: "This guy has changed a lot recently."
