Wang Chuan looked ahead and said to himself: "Biaozi, there are only 100 places to be elected in the provincial examination. Do you think we can pass it?"
How did Yu Tiance know?
Liang Yuandu took the exam two or three times. However, he went back to study in the county study. Anyway, he didn't have to perform corvee or military service. If he couldn't pass, it would be casual.
The only thing that puts him under pressure is his father-in-law, who is a national treasure.
Shen Kangzheng was worried that he couldn't find a reason to scold him. If he couldn't, it would definitely be a pretense and showoff.
"It doesn't matter. I failed the exam. Let's try it next time."
"I have to live it!"
Wang Chuan's eyes were firm.
He had already passed the exam once and didn't want to fail the second time.
Whether you can turn a crow into a phoenix and become a master of government depends on your hard work!
at this time. Transportation is underdeveloped, and people in remote mountainous areas have to travel far to go to the city, let alone come to the provincial capital to take the exam.
Because of the long distance, some farmers' children are heavily in debt after just one exam.
And on the road, you may encounter many accidents.
Everyone knows that scholars have a lot of money and almost always travel alone, and murders often happen.
Walking out of the pier, I realized that there were not many people watching on the boat just now.
On the street facing the dock, there were so many people that it was almost impossible to walk, until the end of the field of vision.
Everyone went to Jiang Yue Tower first.
Along the way, the inns where you can stay are crowded with people, and even the corridors are paved.
Uncle Lu Yuan arranged three rooms for several people, all of which were of the highest standard, and took them to have a drink.
For the next few days, meals were delivered to the house.
Except for registration on the third day of August, in the other days, Yu Tiance and Wang Chuan stayed behind closed doors and studied hard day and night.
He said it didn't matter, but in his heart, Yu Tiance still wanted to pass.
If you become a Juren, you can be called a master.
Even if he doesn't pass the exam, he can still use the knowledge of future generations to do business, or spend money to gain connections to become an official, and live a happy life.
Be confident, not much.
Because there is a backlog of scholars over the years, all those who have not given up want to participate. This Yongliang Road has a total of ten prefectures and three states, and there are probably tens of thousands of scholars.
There are so many people competing for one hundred candidates, and the probability is one in fifty or sixty. Who can guarantee that they will pass...
After a few days of seclusion, the rural examination began.
Regarding the various regulations of the Provincial Examination, they were also introduced on the day of registration. The specific time and appearance time are all things that need to be kept in mind.
In addition, you need to bring your own food for the rural examination.
Before leaving, Wang Chuan said dissatisfiedly: "The rules have not been changed yet, and almost nothing I brought with me can be eaten. Last time I returned to my hometown for the exam, in order to prevent cheating, my rice was crushed into paste!"
Wang Chuan said something, and the two sisters Shen An and Shen Jing, Yu Tiance and Chen Qing all laughed.
That's too exaggerated!
At this time, Lu Yuan prepared two dumplings of cakes and gave them to Yu Tiance and Wang Chuan.
"Don't laugh, what Yueyang said is true!"
ah?
Only then did everyone look surprised and looked at Lu Yuan in confusion.
Can you really crush rice grains?
"It's not that exaggerated. I just stir the rice with my hands to make a mess and make sure there are no notes."
That's disgusting enough.
The rice you eat must be mixed with others before you eat it.
"You two don't need to worry. Lu has prepared dry biscuits for you. Even if they break them, you can still eat them with water."
Fortunately, someone helped me, otherwise, I might have been hungry for two days.
Yu Tiance asked in confusion: "Uncle Lu, why don't you provide food for the provincial examination?"
Hi!
Lu Yuan said with a smile: "I heard that nine years ago, someone bribed the cook in the kitchen and put the note in the pancake and brought it into the examination room, so I changed to bring my own food."
So that’s it!
At a quarter past three o'clock, it was just dawn.
The night watchman walked out of the tribute courtyard and took away the surrounding lanterns.
Looking around, the entire main street is packed with people taking exams, people watching the excitement, people selling things, people selling cakes, people sending their children to take exams...
Jiang Nan, Wang Min, and Edo also came to Gongyuan.
This time, they did not dare to provoke.
First, they all knew Lu Yuan's identity, and second, Yu Tiance's relationship with the county magistrate prevented them from saying provocative words.
But Jiang Nan and Wang Min were angry.
Just as he was about to step forward to say hello to Yu Tiance, Yu Tiance ignored them and turned around, carrying the test basket and entering the checkpoint.
The examination of the township examination is much longer than that of the hospital examination.
Especially in the food aspect, as Lu Yuan described, the yamen inspected with their hands, pinched the rice, and broke the pancakes into fine pieces.
Fortunately, there is Lu Yuan's help.
In addition to the cakes, the dried meat helps to make it into powder, which can be eaten without much chewing by mixing it with water.
The yamen officer looked at Yu Tiance with disdain, flicked it with his hand, and let him pass the first level of inspection.
For the previous exams, a local student will be required as a guarantor.
When it comes to the provincial examination, there is no need for junior students. After all, no one will make fun of their reputation as a scholar for the sake of plagiarism.
Only the joint guarantee system has reservations. Candidates need to pair up with each other and form a team of five. If one person is found to be cheating, all the other five will be kicked out of the examination room.
Yu Tiance and Wang Chuan, as well as other disciples in the county study, worked together to protect the situation. They knew everything about it and there shouldn't be any problems.
Next, there is a body search.
Yu Tiance was stripped naked, even his underwear was not kept, and his buttocks were exposed.
After a lot of tossing, I finally entered the examination room.
Yu Tiance took the food and followed the yamen servant to find his examination shed.
Think about it, it would be relatively happy to be reborn in Chang'an Mansion.
He has been to this Gongyuan three times.
If I were born in another county, I would not only have to travel thousands of miles to Chang'an, but also have to change examination venues every time, which would be even worse.
The difference between the rural test and the front yard test half a year ago is that a tong bucket was placed in each oven.
Yu Tiance turned around and smiled awkwardly: "Brother Yamen, is this bucket changed every day?"
"What are you thinking about?"
The yamen officer rolled his eyes at Yu Tiance: "In the three days of the first session, no one is allowed to approach the examination room except yourself and the official who handed out the papers!"
Grass!
It seems that he will have to live with his own feces for three days!
Scholars entered the stage one after another.
Jiang Nan and Wang Min glared at Yu Tiance fiercely when they passed by his examination booth.
Fortunately, it's not them on both sides.
Otherwise, he would have to guard against these two people throwing notes at his feet. Lu Yuan said that this kind of thing happens from time to time during such advanced exams.
It is conceivable that if one quota is eliminated, there will be one less competitor. Everyone has this idea in their mind, but not everyone will do it.
Just like, what man doesn't want to be dirty?
Just after three o'clock in the morning, a short drum beat sounded, and the gate of Gongyuan was closed with a bang.
Immediately afterwards, five hundred troops surrounded the Gongyuan and pushed the onlookers back several feet to ensure that the candidates would not be disturbed.
When the hour comes, the gong sounds...
The examiner handed out the papers, pens and inkstones.
Yu Tiance was sharpening his ink while reviewing the questions on the paper.
The time has come for the sparrow to turn into a phoenix!
