Chapter 241 Although my brother has been away from the palace for a long time, his studies are full of legends.
On the third day of May 19th, the 34th year of Jiajing, the day of the Shaoxing scientific examination. Although this exam was only taken by candidates from prefectures and counties, the number of candidates accumulated over the years was extremely large, so we still should not take it lightly.
In order to avoid harassment from relatives and friends, Chen Si moved to the courtyard where the guards were stationed on the second day of the lunar month. He didn't get up on the third day of the lunar month, and after a light but nutritious breakfast, he asked Tiezhu to prepare the car and prepare to go out quietly.
According to the convention, Tiezhu formed a ten-person guard, surrounded by carriages, waiting for the adults to set off.
The silence made him quickly withdraw the person and cursed, "I'm going to take the exam, why are you going to make a random show? Just Shen An and I come in." Tiezhu had to be a coachman himself, let his subordinates follow him far away, and took the adults and Shen An to the Palace Museum.
In the carriage, Chen An honestly held the young master's examination box and sat in a small stool, not daring to say a word of nonsense... After two months of confinement and the repair of Miss Qingcui, his problems have been changed a lot, but they have become much boring.
Chen Si teased him and said, "Qingcui stayed in Hangzhou, you are free again. Have you been visiting brothels these two days?"
Chen An said sadly: "My wife is so powerful. I don't know how many personal soldiers I have bribed. Wherever I go now, I feel that someone is staring at me behind my back, waiting to grab my handle and go back to ask her for rewards... Not to mention going to such places, I have not been watching a beautiful girl on the roadside for a long time."
Silent laughed and said, "It's right to have someone who can control you, so I can let you out."
Chen An changed his face anxiously: "Young Master, do you want me anymore? I haven't made any mistakes recently."
Silently smiled, "Do you want to be a book boy for the rest of your life?"
"Isn't that good?" Chen An said nervously: "I have always felt that there is no easier and more comfortable job in the world than a book boy. If you don't dislike it, I am willing to be a book boy for you for the rest of your life."
"Don't use me as a meal ticket." Chen Si rolled his eyes and said, "Tell you Chen An, after the exam is over, I won't need a scholar. If you have this little chance, then wait for the slaughter."
Chen An said with a sad face: "Young Master, you can't be so heartless. You have to work hard even if you don't have any credit."
"Why do I feel that your life is not only not bitter, but also erotic and tight?" said silently and smiling.
"That's all in the past. Now I'm cultivating myself and nurturing my character." Chen An said with a flushed face: "Apart from that, will you try it next year? Young Master, can you please let me feel comfortable first after this year?"
For this little book boy who was extremely content with the status quo and was not enterprising, he was completely helpless in his silence, so he had to nod and said, "Okay."
When I arrived at the Tulao River, there were still densely packed vehicles and ships. Fortunately, Shen Mo was experienced and had enough time to get off the car and walk over, but he was much calmer than last time and did not squeeze out his shoes.
When the exam card was displayed and I entered the front street of the Academy Palace, there were still bustling around... One prefecture school and eight county schools had more than 3,000 candidates. Although it was not as crowded as the prefecture exam, it was not much easier.
After a lot of effort, I found the lantern of the Fuxue School in silence. Under Shen An's charge, I finally squeezed over and arrived at the brink of the Shaoxing Fuxue School team.
Seeing that Chen An kept squeezing in, the student of the You Mansion was unhappy and grabbed him and said, "What are you rushing around? We are from Shaoxing Mansion."
Chen An broke free from his hand and said, "Of course I know it was from Shaoxing Prefecture. My young master entered Shaoxing Prefecture." The candidates looked at Chen Si, but saw that he was very unfamiliar... There were several big and small classes every month, and the students of the classmates were more or less impressed. But since the day of school entrance, the silent classmate was taken to the magistrate Tang to train alone, and then he was off school for a long time. Most of his childhood did not have the opportunity to participate in this scientific examination, so these classmates did not know him.
Feeling the suspicious eyes that everyone cast, Chen Si smiled awkwardly and said, "You are polite, I have seen you all in silence." Then he bowed to everyone.
In the noisy Shaoxing Prefecture School Team, they immediately calmed down. The candidates gasped in the air, turned around, stared at the silence with wide eyes, until a lazy voice said, "I say to you, Lord Shen, whom you wish you could see all day, is here, why is it because of the wood?"
When everyone heard that it was Shen Dacaizi's best friend. Xu Dacaizi said this until he couldn't make any mistakes. He quickly saluted Chen Si and shouted, "Students pay homage to the master." Chen Si quickly supported him and said, "You can't do it. Today, my words are just students in the house. Don't kill me, senior brothers."
He was low-key and humble, but everyone was in a hurry to have a lot of affection, surrounded him like a star surround the moon, and asked excitedly: "Are you really the little Sanyuan of last year, Shen Da Caizi?"
He nodded silently and modestly, and someone asked again: "Are you really Mr. Qingxia's eldest disciple who opened the mountain and closed the door?" "Is it really the Zhejiang inspector's military supervisor? Is it really the good friend of the governor?"
Chen Jing nodded humbly, and then heard someone ask: "What do you think of Chen Xiaoxia's inability to participate in the provincial examination, as his junior brother?"
"This question is very sharp," said silently, "At present, Hu Zhongcheng, the governor, the censor, and our prefect of Tang, Niuxian Zun, have jointly written a letter to request the court to restore the power of Senior Brother Xiaoxia to participate in the imperial examination. I believe that considering the surging friendship between the court, the court will make concessions."
"Can you catch up with the subject?"
"I'm sure." Silently nodded, "I will definitely do my best to not delay Senior Brother Xiaoxia's provincial examination."
When this question is solved, everyone's questions are still unable to be adjusted. What are the "What color do you like?" "What hobbies do you have in addition to studying?" "Is there any engagement or a partner to like?" and so on. These nonsense questions are not okay without answering them, and it is not okay to be perfunctory, because the question is his classmates, and the most reliable reliance in the future, how can you offend them with a slight slight consequence?
Just as Shen Mo was exhausted and suffering, a crisp gong sounded, and someone whispered loudly: "Start name, don't make noise!" The candidates let him go and lined up to stand.
Chen Si was relieved and stood side by side with Xu Wei, whispering: "You guy, you don't know how to rescue him, and you are still in that sapling. You really don't want to be a son of man."
Xu Wei laughed and said, "Actually, I have a question, I wanted to ask you a long time ago, how can you answer me?"
Silent stared and said, "What's the problem?"
Xu Wei whispered: "Why are you abandoning a woman who is as talented and beautiful as Miss Lu?"
"I have never worn those shoes, so how can I talk about throwing them away?" Chen Si rolled his eyes and said, "I knew you were interested in her."
"Don't talk nonsense, that's my student." Xu Wei whispered: "Do you already have a sweetheart?"
"Nonsense." Chen Jing said angrily: "Didn't I tell you that I will not marry Miss Yin in this life?"
"Hasn't she become a monk?"
"Who made the rumor?" said silent eyes.
"You said that." Xu Wei said depressedly: "I really don't plan to make you angry."
Chen Si then remembered that it was what he said to him, and bowed helplessly: "Brother Xu, Mr. Xu, just spare me, just pretend I was talking nonsense at that time... Let's stop here?" As he said that, he gritted his teeth and said, "If I fail the exam later, I will see how I deal with you."
Seeing that he was about to go crazy, Xu Wei quickly said, "Forget it, let's talk about it after the exam."
After entering the venue by name, everything went smoothly. I sat in a bad and bad position in silence, and waited for the paper to be handed over. After all, the subject exam was just a preparatory exam, and there was not so much red tape. I only took the exam for a whole day, with three big questions, and the test questions were very correct and not difficult at all.
Before the exam was over, Ti Xue was there to mark the papers. Because there were a large number of candidates and he was the only one who scored the papers. Although Ti Xue was a Jinshi from the first class and a master of writing eight-legged essays, reading so many articles at the same time, it was inevitable that he would get dizzy and cramp in his legs. Therefore, the attention given to each test paper was only a dozen breaths. Looking at the first few sentences, he felt boring and didn't take it.
Only when he sees familiar names or particularly good articles, he will read them for a while. So at this time, the papers of celebrities and acquaintances are very advantageous... The cost of copying names and copying these methods is too high, and only the provincial examinations can be used, so the students can see the names of candidates.
When I saw a paper with flying dragons and phoenixes dancing, Master Tixue saw that the word was so beautiful, and his eyes lit up, as if he had been drought for a long time. He quickly looked at the candidate's name, and it was 'Shanyin Xu Wei', which was as thunderous as the ears. Master Tixue read Xu Wei's paper carefully and thoughtfully, and said in his heart: 'What do you mean by such words! No wonder even a juren failed.'
Then he threw it aside and stopped looking.
