Chapter 546 County Top Ten (two chapters in one)
The examination of the imperial examination is based on the rules.
The general scientific research sheds used by the county examination are all large and small, facing north and south. There are east and west gates in the south, surrounded by wooden fences, and there is a large courtyard. The north of the courtyard is the main entrance, called "Dragon Gate". Wait for your name to be called.
There are three more halls, with an aisle in the middle. The grand master sits in the west room and faces east to roll the roll.
If there are many candidates, they will be sorted in advance. There will be paper light boards in the center of the courtyard, which are easy to see.
Huju follows this routine.
But Gu Fengcheng's master had other ideas.
The test shed is built in a style similar to that of the government test, with separate rooms with compartments.
To show that he, the great master, attaches great importance to Gu Feng's education.
But the effect is just... no effect.
On the contrary, it also increased the workload of Mr. Gu Feng.
Originally, you only need to sit in the hall, and you can clearly see the status of the candidates by scanning your eyes. If you want to appear close to the people, you can go for a walk, and if you want to appear majestic, you can sit still.
After setting up these numbered rooms, he can't stay warm in the room and stay still. He has to go out to make inspections from time to time, which is the duty of the examiner.
It's cold in Guanzhou, and it's unbearable in February. What's more, it's not yet the first month. Mr. Gu Feng is walking slowly in the aisle of the two rows of rooms, with no expression on his face. Instead, his face was numb from the cold...
When he reached a certain number room, he paused slightly.
In the numbered room where his eyes fell, a candidate was using a wooden stick at the end of the broom to poke hard at the roof of the shed.
Take a closer look at the roof of the shed.
The old tiles and boards on the roof of the shed are all gone, but a single piece of clothing is used to cover the head.
At this time, the examinee stabbed each other with a stick, in fact, it made the snow fall, so as not to pollute the number room.
The elder of Gu Fengcheng took a second look and felt that the examinee looked familiar.
After a little thought, he remembered.
This should be the second brother of Yan Huaiwen and Yan Hushu, the one named... Yan Huaian.
Master Tian originally agreed with him, and the two exchanged positions.
Not wanting to go to Ling County to take the exam ahead of time, Yan Huai'an had to come to Gufeng to take the exam.
A gust of wind blew in circles, rolling the snow on the ground into the air again, and slapped towards him as soon as he saw it.
Master Gu Feng suffered from this blow, clenched his teeth, insisted on walking around, and quickly dodged back to the hall.
The people below were winking, and quickly moved the furnace to this side.
He poured some boiling water for the Grand Master.
Master Gu Feng poured the cup with his left hand and his right hand, and didn't put it on the table until both hands were relieved.
The servants quickly changed him to tea with a moderate temperature.
"Why are you so inattentive in repairing the test shed?"
"Returning to the elder, it is really not the fault of the little ones. The snow is too heavy. We have gone up to clear it several times. It must have been accidentally stepped on... just two or three places."
Who are the candidates for the county test?
Most of them are half-grown teenagers, or young men who have just won the crown. When they enter the examination room and see this situation, their mentality will collapse...
The only one who persisted and is still taking the exam is... that one.
He came from Huju and is said to be Yan Shusheng, Yan Hushu's younger brother.
Regardless of the requirement for silence in the examination room, the servants did not get together much, but the news spread so quickly.
The Grand Master didn't intend to pursue it either.
Give it a try, it's rough and hard.
The luck is bad, no one is to blame.
"See if there are enough charcoal fires prepared, if not, send some." Master Gu Feng said slowly.
Yan Huaiwen is very appreciative.
This is the so-called Aiwujiwu.
Since I can do what I can, it doesn't hurt to take care of it a little bit.
…
The other skills of the yamen servants may be weak, but judging from the grand master's face and understanding the grand master's mind, one is stronger than the other.
No, Yan's second son was immediately assigned here.
Not only sent some charcoal, but also several dry rags.
Let him wipe it.
Others have written it, but he is still cleaning up here.
Finally, no snowflakes drifted into the No. 1 room from the top, and stabbed it twice from time to time, so as not to let the snow stay.
The snow in Room No. 1 was unclear, and he didn’t dare to light charcoal for heating, for fear that the temperature would melt the snow and make water everywhere, so how could he write successfully.
The rag came just in time.
The piece he brought from home was torn into strips during the inspection, so he had to roll it into a ball, which was not easy to use. He was wondering if he should take off another single piece of clothing...
When he finally wiped the tables and chairs, cleared out the snow in the number room, and lit the charcoal basin again...
Finally, I can look at the topic.
Not to mention, after such a busy job, he was so absorbed in cleaning the table that Qingxue completely forgot about his nervousness.
Wait for Yan's second child to see the topic clearly.
My heart is steady.
…
"Come out! Dad! Here!" Yan Yu sat cross-legged on the bullock cart, and when she saw someone coming out, she stood up and waved constantly, for fear that her father would not see her.
Yan's second son hasn't come close yet.
Yan Yu couldn't wait to ask: "Father, how is it? Is the exam difficult?"
"Hehe!" Yan Laoer's face glowed with confidence: "It's not difficult at all, I will be silent."
He said proudly: "Kang Da, I remembered your words, counted them twice, and the number of words is more than 600, but less than 700. Don't worry, I definitely didn't write too much."
Kang Yinli nodded with a smile: "Then this one will be safe."
Yan’s second child has a problem. Others can’t write. He is good and can write, but the test is not dominated by the number of words. The first round of the county test is the main one.
"Father, why are you still taking off your clothes? Is it hot inside?" Yan Yu asked suspiciously.
"Speaking of this, girl, dad almost failed the exam!" Yan Laoer put on the sheepskin jacket on the bullock cart, rode directly on Sanbao, and threw himself on Sanbao's back regardless of what others thought.
The three treasures started to heat up automatically, and Yan Lao Er hummed softly.
"Dong Weng looks exhausted, let's go back to the inn first and let Dong Weng rest." Kang Da suggested.
"Yes, Dad, let's talk about it when we go back."
…
"...Good guy, my heart was so cold at that time! I just thought that this is not a bad thing! It's all snow, and the desks and benches are all white. How can I take the exam, and I can't fit the papers."
It was easy for Yan's second son to clean up when he came back. Apart from being a little tired, everything else was fine.
He secretly whispered to his daughter behind Kangda's back. During the exam, he took a bite of Huochan meat sticks.
The effect is immediate!
Immediately, the coldness disappeared, and the heat from the throat all the way to the stomach.
Not only to drive away the cold, but also to refresh yourself!
"Thanks to your father's steady state of mind, others have been working for a long time before I laid out the paper and sharpened the ink, but once I wrote it, hey! It's completely different!" Yan Lao Er said happily: "If there is any ink in the pen, it will be different!" God help, the words are like lining up in my mind, jumping out one after another, I just write and write, without stopping in one breath, what is this called, this is called one-stop!"
"Dong Weng, can you still answer the paper silently?" Kang Yinli asked.
"Yes!" Yan Lao Er was full of confidence this time.
After reading his answer sheet, Kang Yinli nodded to his father and daughter who were right.
"Dong Weng must pass this battle."
"Father, you are amazing!" Yan Yu cheered, "It's written in the bulletin board that Gu Feng has a total of four exams. Originally, the exams were held on the same day and the next day, but now time is tight, everything has to be advanced, and there will be no results tonight. , There will also be a sign posted before entering the arena tomorrow.
Then let's hurry up Dad, don't waste time, hurry up and prepare for tomorrow's show! "
"Oh, I just passed the first round of the Tongsheng exam. It's nothing to please you. Your master and your uncle have said that I am not far behind in the Tongsheng exam. This is a normal performance..." Yan Lao Er smiled His eyes were narrowed into a slit, and he said again: "But you are right, hurry up and prepare for tomorrow, and by the way, Xiaoer, don't forget to stuff some extra rags for dad..."
…
After a trial, his name was indeed on the list of crimes committed.
The second set of tricks is not out of the scope of the Four Books, but the third and fourth sets are all directly copying the original questions from the mathematics book.
Yan's second son should not answer too easily!
The number of seats kept advancing, and he was lucky, and he didn't come across any number that went wrong.
Until the final incident.
Yan Huai'an's name is impressively among the top ten in the county list!
"Sixth!" Yan Laoer was dizzy: "Xiao Er, did you see it? Your father and I got sixth in the exam!"
He muttered to himself in a daze: "So I'm actually a sixth child..."
"Daddy! Don't be dazed. Let's go back quickly. Mom can't wait any longer. I have to report to Uncle. I'll go in person!" Yan Yu was very excited, and couldn't stop chattering: "I don't know how the eldest brother is doing, he must be fine, hahaha! Let's go quickly, I will go to Huju to pick up the elder brother and stay for two days. Dad, what do you want to eat? There are cats in the forest flying in the sky, as long as you say , as long as it is there, your daughter will be back for you, we have to celebrate and celebrate, this is the first step of victory, but it is definitely not the last step, oops! Dad! Why am I so happy! Haha! I am so happy! "
Yan Lao Er came back to his senses and looked at his daughter happily like a little fool.
also smirked.
"That's right, hurry home and make your mother happy."
Seeing the father and daughter returning home like an arrow, Kang Yinli hesitated to speak.
It stands to reason that ten people before the county examination should go to visit the county lord.
It’s okay not to go, after all Dong Weng’s situation is special, and he’s just taking the exam here temporarily.
County top ten, which is good, but…
He also really felt the gap between the Guanzhou Trial and other big cities.
This question... This question...
I won’t talk about the arithmetic problems in the next two games.
Will the previous two games be too simple?
There is also this arithmetic problem...Although the candidates are relatively young, and the county examination is mostly based on the four books, many candidates may not have touched such books on mathematics, but with the original question, this Gu Feng is really too understanding...
…
According to common practice, the top ten in the county examination must come to visit the Grand Master one by one.
The great master will also give a few words of encouragement, and most of them will also give money.
Of these ten people, even if one person can continue to pass the exam, it is his meritorious achievements in education.
Nine people came and went.
Master Gu Fengcheng waited for the tenth person to arrive.
He made a comparison and compared the person who didn't come.
It was Yan Huai'an, the sixth in the county examination.
Master Gu Feng felt relieved immediately.
said to himself: "It turned out to be him!"
He thought for a while, and he found out the reason for not coming.
Yan Huai'an was taking the test temporarily, probably because he was embarrassed to take his bonus.
Thinking about it this way, he felt pity instead.
Master Gu Fengcheng, is he short of this money?
He has read Yan Huai'an's test papers, the first two tests are correct, and the last two tests are correct.
It can be described as quite satisfactory.
It should be that the exam questions are too simple to show his true level.
Master Tian’s student, Yan Hushu’s younger brother...
If he is selected as a scholar, even if it can't be counted as Gu Feng's achievements, it doesn't matter if he makes one or two in advance.
Besides...he has other thoughts.
Master Gu Feng's little thoughts rose again.
Thinking that if the Yan family's uncles and nephews can all pass the exam this time, then the Yan family... is a top three scholar!
Yan Huaiwen is such a talented and capable official, maybe someone will fall in love with him, and they rush to marry his family without waiting for him to be elected.
No, he can't wait any longer.
By the time Yan Huaiwen becomes the Juren master, it will be too late!
…
Yan Yu dragged the roe deer to Huju.
She felt that there was no problem with the big brother county test, so she went directly to the celebration process.
Different from Gu Feng, Huju took five exams.
Four games and five games, in fact, they are all random, and the examiner is the master.
Because of the many exams, Yan Yu came at the right time.
Today is the day when the crime happened.
"Brother? Have you passed the exam? What rank did you pass? Come and tell me!" Yan Yu jumped off the sledge and rushed over when he saw Yan Xiangheng.
Yan Xiangheng turned his head and saw her running round and round.
There is a smile in the eyes.
Before Yan Xiangheng could answer, Yan Yu saw it.
"Wow!" She exclaimed, her eyes widened: "Brother, you took the first place in the exam, and you are the first! The county chief!"
She was full of joy: "Brother, you are amazing!"
Yan Xiangheng was a little at a loss when he saw the people around him looking at him in unison, and the roots of his ears began to turn red.
hurriedly dragged Xiao Er to leave quickly.
Running all the way back to the residence in the government office, Yan Xiangheng let go of his sister's hand.
asked: "Didn't you go to Gufeng with your second uncle? Why did you come here? Yes... Second uncle finished the exam? How did you do? But passed?"
Yan Yu then told about his father's grades.
"The master of Gu Fengcheng gave two original math problems. Dad is familiar with them. The first two games are also easy. Haha, dad got sixth in the exam. We are all happy!"
Here we are talking about the daughters of the Yan family represented by Li Xuemei.
My family knows my own affairs.
It is not easy for Yan Laoer to pass the exam. They dare not even think about getting into the top ten.
Yan Yu sighed: "Thanks to those two math problems, if not, even if Dad could pass, it would not be so easy."
Her father even gained confidence in the exam. He is very interested in the next exam and looks forward to it.
He also made a bold statement, saying that if the ratio is still like this, half of arts and sciences, he can pass the end!
"Father told me to pay more attention to the subject of arithmetic, and I guess it will aggravate such problems later on." Yan Xiangheng said seriously to Yan Yu: "Don't forget to tell the second uncle when you go back, so that he knows what to expect."
Yan Yu smiled and said: "Don't worry big brother, Uncle Kang also said the same, my father can save it."
"By the way, big brother, I'm here to take you home." Yan Yu looked around the room, the father and son lived together and it was very clean.
In addition to the necessary living things, there are also many piles of pots and pans.
She took the roe deer off the sledge and went to look at the big tank at the door.
"Brother, what have you and my uncle been eating recently? The meat in this tank hasn't gone down yet!" Yan Yu muttered dissatisfied.
Turn out all the meat in the tank and check to see if it is damaged. Seeing that it is still hard and showing no signs of melting, I feel relieved.
Yan Yu simply cleaned out the big tank.
After cleaning, re-spread a layer of meat and snow.
Plug the corners and corners.
What a mess.
Finally put half a roe deer packed at home into it.
Huh~ I'm too tired from the house~ This day, I've been busy from morning till night!
The house mother is an enthusiastic little old lady, relatives are here, and the schedule is full, me? I don't have a mouth, I just need hands and feet, to be honest, I'm more tired than Riwan~
Hey, I almost wanted to ask for leave, but I thought about asking for it yesterday, and I won’t change it today~ I was afraid that you would send me blades, so I used the card point method again~
Please don’t be surprised when you see the repetition, it’s good to refresh every ten or eight minutes, calm down, let’s calm down~o(*////▽////*)q~
