Time is precious, there are 24 hours in a day, not a minute or a second will be lost.
Even if Zhu Ping'an cherishes time, the gaps between his fingers are too wide and time is too thin, so time still slips quietly through the gaps 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.
With Zhu Ping'an's diligent preparation for the examination, the pace of the college examination is 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 Ping'an had just broken the topic, and when he was about to finish the eight-part essay in one go, he was disturbed by the sound of the fat man banging on the door, so he lost his thoughts. He looked unkind when he looked at the fat man.
"What's the matter? The academic officer has just announced the examination dates for each prefecture in front of the gate of Gongyuan. Everyone has gone out to see it. Come on, leave quickly. If you are late, there will be no good place." Fatty Xue Chi As he spoke, his fat face trembled with excitement.
According to usual practice, the examinations for the Southern Zhili Academy presided over by the academic officials are held in Yingtian Jiangnan Gongyuan, because there are 14 prefectures in Southern Zhili, including Yingtian Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, Fengyang Prefecture, etc., and each prefecture has just passed the examination this year. The number of children who pass the examination is quite large. Therefore, 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 larger 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.
Conventions are conventions, 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 with Fat Xue Chi toward the direction of Jiangnan Gongyuan.
Before we reached Jiangnan Gongyuan, we 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 articles per copy." At this time, some shrewd businessmen and hawkers copied hundreds of exam hanging cards and sold them on the spot, and they also made 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.
The vendor came over to collect the money and gave the fat man two copies of the copy. After the fat man received it, he casually gave one to Zhu Ping'an. Zhu Ping'an didn't refuse, he took it in his hand and started to read it.
Sure enough, this time the academic officials made major adjustments to the examination periods of each prefecture. Although they were also divided into two batches, they were 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, Anqing Prefecture, and Chizhou Prefecture. The examination time 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 Pingan to go to the restaurant with him.
Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an almost couldn't help but kick the fat man's face to two sizes. Damn it, there is an exam tomorrow, so 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 exam and not returning until we get 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 Pingan 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 as enthusiastic as ever and was 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 Pingan was determined not to join 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 will be an exam tomorrow. You have to rush to the gate of Gongyuan early in the morning to take the roll call. If you don't get drunk, you will have to take the test. It won't be too late after the exam if you don't get drunk and don't return." Zhu Ping An patted the fat man on the shoulder and walked to the inn.
"Oh, oh, Brother Zhu, wait for me..."
The fat man Xue Chi chased Zhu Ping'an and shouted, "Then we have agreed that we will not return until we are drunk after the exam. Hahaha, when the time comes, my brother will take you to the other side to open your eyes..."
After all, the fat man went back to the attic to read under Zhu Pingan's persuasion. As for the effect, 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 on to 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. Those who are still promoting their consumption are some outstanding people. They are either confident or conceited. Otherwise, how can they be gentle? I can live in the countryside.
One step further will lead to a brighter future, and one step back will lead to disgrace.
It was late at night, the inn was brightly lit, and students and scholars rarely sat in front of the windows to study and prepare for exams. I don’t know how many students and scholars lost sleep that night. ;
