The list is released.
After having breakfast, the students all came to the entrance of the government office.
Qi Jing's eyesight was very good, and he could see almost ten lines at a glance. After a few brief glances, he laughed and said, "I passed, and I am still ranked in the middle this time."
"As long as you pass, the case leader and Sun Shan are the same, there is no need to pursue rankings." Qi Yu said seemingly nonchalantly.
"Yes!... Hey! Congratulations, brother Qi, you actually ranked ninth in high school."
"Ah...really?"
"..."
Qi Yu counted along and found his name as expected.
However, I was happy for a moment and then felt sad again. Yin Jun ranked third this time, beating himself!
Alas!
Alas!
After being suppressed by him for two consecutive games, my heart was about to break.
I had told him before that the real master is the one who laughs last. Why do you feel that this generational hierarchy is going to be in chaos?
How can you have the face to meet Mr. Jiangdong?
...And the lady?
calm down.
I haven’t taken the third exam yet! What if he fails the exam?
In the end, we still have to look at the comprehensive ranking of the three games!
Thinking that there was still hope of making a comeback, Qi Yu's expression suddenly turned bright again.
"Brother Qi, help me look for it and see if Liu Jincheng's name is on the list. You look at it from this end and I look at it from the other end."
"good!"
The two of them looked at it twice, but still couldn't find it. It seemed that he failed this time.
The imperial examination is a sad road, it depends on who can persevere and go further and more steadily.
After reading the list, Qi Yu looked specifically at the crowd, but still couldn't find Liu Jincheng and Yin Jun. It seemed that they had already left.
Leaving aside Yin Jun, my brother-in-law came to this foreign land alone, and he had to take care of him no matter what. Now that he has failed the exam, he is probably about to leave for home. How about sending him off?
Qi Yu first went to the inn where he was staying to ask, and then walked somewhere outside the city alone.
Outside the east gate of the city is a lush green landscape, with peach blossoms in bloom and apricot blossoms in decline, willows lingering, and foraging birds chirping overhead.
The government has regulations that failed candidates must go out through the east gate and then turn onto the main road in all directions. This will facilitate management and guidance, so Liu Jincheng will also pass by here.
Qi Yu was wearing a plain gown, holding a white folding fan in his hand, and was leisurely looking at the bees gathering nectar on the peach blossoms.
Liu Jincheng saw him as soon as he walked out of the city gate, and then turned his head deliberately.
"Jincheng, walk slowly!" Qi Yu called him.
"What's the matter?" Liu Jincheng glanced at him and said coldly, "Did you deliberately make fun of me when you saw that I didn't fail the exam?"
"How could it be? I'm your brother-in-law. Of course I hope you get well." Then, Qi Yu said with admonishment: "Brother-in-law, I know you don't like me very much, but as your brother-in-law, I have the responsibility to say Say a few words to you."
"Are you trying to persuade me to study hard? Or are you trying to persuade me to drop out and start over again? If it's just these words, there's no need to be verbose." Liu Jincheng said impatiently.
"Okay, that's all I'm going to say." Qi Yu pursed his lips, and then said meaningfully: "You are now at the age of Shao Mu and Shao Ai, and my brother-in-law has some thoughts that he wants to share with you. Ahem ! To be honest, women are really good, but they are much more interesting than men..."
Liu Jincheng looked confused: "Huh??...Of course I know women are good!"
"Well, you're right to think so!" Qi Yu nodded in approval and said with a wink: "If you are really good at it, if not, just go to the Nanfeng Pavilion and have fun. I will never tell your sister. There’s no need to show off your face.”
"Pfft..." Liu Jincheng suddenly smiled, "I understand, you saw that Brother Yin and I were too close, so you thought I was... good as Long Yang?"
"Isn't it?" Thinking of Yin Jun's pretty face, Qi Yu nodded without comment.
"You are thinking too much. I am very normal. For now, I am only interested in beautiful women."
Fortunately, okay, his brother-in-law hadn't been bent over by that guy yet, so Qi Yu let out a long sigh of relief.
"In that case, I won't mention women's matters. Well... I have one more thing to ask you. You have always been in conflict with me. Could it be that I have offended you somewhere?"
"snort!"
Did not say?
Qi Yu smiled: "I have always believed that your character is not bad, but you must have been instigated by Yin Jun, so you misunderstood me."
"No, this matter really has nothing to do with Brother Yin."
Qi Yu asked curiously: "What's the reason?"
"Why? Because your whole family is a big liar!" Liu Jincheng's eyes turned red and he said angrily: "Back then, your second uncle came to my house to propose marriage, so my parents asked me to inquire about your family's financial situation. Huh! No! Knowing what tricks Zhou Dashui used that time, he got me involved in a confused way. After I got back, I told my parents that you Qi Yu was a good person, and the marriage was settled."
Qi Yu was startled, he really didn't know these things?
Second uncle... is indeed a man with flexible means.
"But what's the result? Not only did you overturn the table during the banquet back home, but you also offended the elders of the Liu family, who all called it a matchmaker. I was the one who inquired about this matter, and I got scolded a lot for it! You said, What are your whole family if they’re not liars?”
Well……
Qi Yu sighed and said seriously: "I was the bastard before, but I have changed my ways now. If you don't believe me, you can ask your sister."
"Humph! I have my own mind on right and wrong, so there's no need to ask others." Liu Jincheng turned his head and pretended to leave.
Qi Yu hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Wait, you haven't said yet, why do you want to hang out with Yin Jun?"
"This is my private matter, I can't tell you." Liu Jincheng rolled his eyes and said.
Qi Yu was startled and showed a sinister smile: "I'd better tell you the truth, otherwise I'll tell people you're good at cutting off your sleeves... Huh? Why are you glaring? I'm not trying to scare you. , if you don’t believe me, try it!”
"you……"
I didn’t expect my brother-in-law to be so evil!
Liu Jincheng felt frustrated and made a compromise: "I said, I have a crush on Yin Jun's sister Yin Tao..."
Oh, I see!
"So I thought of a way to get close to the Yin family. Yin Jun had been engaged to my sister before. We knew each other before. After meeting at the Dao Huisi years ago, we gradually became familiar with each other." Liu Jincheng said very clearly. Be concise and to the point.
Qi Yu thought for a moment and then asked: "Then why does he miss your sister so much? He even came here to harass her a few years ago?"
"He was angry. Although his engagement was broken off by the Liu family due to some misunderstandings, he still felt very embarrassed. He wanted... to ask his sister to apologize to him in person, and to ask her if she regretted it. "Liu Jincheng stopped hiding it and told the truth.
"What? He wants my wife to apologize to him? And ask her if she regrets it? Bah!" Qi Yu suddenly turned into a ruffian, and hummed: "He doesn't take pictures of himself after taking a piss, except that his face is better than mine. Apart from Bai, what other sense of superiority do you have besides knowing how to chew old people?"
Liu Jincheng was stunned. Why did his brother-in-law suddenly become like a common man and say bad words?
"The idea that he asked Sun Dacai to ask me to paint was also your idea, right?"
"Well... that's right!"
That counts? That's for sure.
In this way, they were connected. Yin Jun and Sun Dacai did not know each other, and they were not on the same road. Without someone else to help them, they would never have peed in the same pot.
Right now, the focus is still on stabilizing the brother-in-law and improving their relationship.
"I will come up with a solution regarding sister Yin Jun. If I encounter a suitable opportunity, I will help you find out."
Only ghosts believe you!
Liu Jin sighed: "Okay, I'm leaving!"
"Wait!"
Qi Yu waved to the city gate, and a carriage drove over, which he had specially prepared for his brother-in-law.
Although his elbows are turned outward, he is still his brother-in-law after all! When you go out, you must never fail to take care of him.
Liu Jincheng didn't appreciate it, and stooped as if he was lighting a firecracker. But in the end, he was screwed into the car.
"By the way, have you paid the toll?"
"Don't worry, it's already paid!"
"That's... not bad!"
Now, Qi Yu finally understands Yin Jun's thoughts and motives.
His purpose, huh! Don’t even think about it!
I won't even give him that chance!
If I hadn't been suppressed by him in the previous two games, I would have wanted to go over and ridicule him now!
No, you have to turn over!
Otherwise, he will be ridiculed!
Thinking of this, Qi Yu's pace back accelerated a bit.
After the eliminations in the first two games, there were not many people left in the apartment, and Qi Yu also moved from the upper bunk to the empty lower bunk.
Next is the third round of the government examination, which is also the most difficult of the three rounds.
Main examination category: Policy theory!
The so-called policy theory refers to the candidates’ opinions on national politics and their suggestions.
The purpose is that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Even if you are an insignificant match, you must exert the heat you should.
This test requires two consecutive days of exams, eating, drinking and sleeping inside. It is a real tough battle.
Qi Yu found Qi Jing: "Is there still much of that medicine left?"
Qi Jing took out the small porcelain bottle, looked at it and sighed: "How many? Not much!"
Ahem... I really want to smash you to death with a fennel bean!
If it's not much, just use it sparingly. After grinding for a while, he finally got Qi Jing's consent and took another sip.
Qi Yu knew in his heart that these were all small paths, and the key to whether he could turn around or not depended on his true ability.
It was another sunny day when the exam started, with a gentle south wind and neither cold nor hot.
The students all looked cautious and did not dare to be careless.
As long as you pass this exam, you will have the status of a child student, and you must do your best.
The exam is about to begin!
Enter, search, and roll.
The excrement in Gong's bucket was still there, and the strong smell that could only be imagined but not described could no longer be described in words.
Take a deep breath!
Calm down and focus on nothing else, the exam is the most important thing!
There are two policy questions in total.
The first question is, 'On the restraint and importance of craftsmen'.
The second question: 'On the pros and cons of strange people and strange practices'.
Solve and review the questions first.
The first question is about whether the profession of craftsmen should be suppressed or supported?
Craftsmen generally refer to those in special industries such as masons, carpenters, blacksmiths, and potters, and are commonly known as craftsmen.
As far as the current era is concerned, the status of craftsmen is even lower than that of farmers, and they are not valued much. But in terms of social development, these people determine the current production technology, so should they be supported?
If it is supported, it will directly challenge the authority of agriculture as the mainstay. If everyone goes to learn crafts, who will farm?
This is contrary to the traditional concept of focusing on agriculture and mulberry, so this question is not easy to answer.
The second question means that it is a good thing or a bad thing for strange people and strangers to participate in the imperial examination?
Strange people and strangers generally refer to the current industry and commerce, and also include the craftsmen mentioned in the first question.
This question is also a difficult problem left over from history. During the Song Dynasty, the policy was relatively liberal, allowing outstanding craftsmen and businessmen to participate in the imperial examinations, which was the beginning. When I arrived at the front court, I opened up even more.
However, this policy has been debated for hundreds of years, and no consensus has yet been reached. In other words, there is no fixed answer to this question.
Both questions have pitfalls!
How to answer?
