In the blink of an eye, it is August, and the time for the rural examination is approaching.
According to the imperial examination system of the Chen Dynasty, as long as students of the appropriate age can pass the county examination, government examination, and hospital examination, they can complete the transformation from ordinary scholars to scholars. The county examination is presided over by the magistrate, the prefectural examination is presided over by the magistrate, and the college examination is presided over by the provincial education administration. Although it is necessary to pass five passes and kill six generals, this is only the beginning of the road to promotion in the imperial examination, and it will not be difficult. Therefore, there were not many scholars in the Chen Dynasty. Although they had some privileges such as exemption from corvee, it was not a big deal.
Compared with the previous exams, the rural exam can be said to be a hurdle for scholars. Each county will recommend those who are of good character, knowledgeable and knowledgeable from a group of scholars, and only those who have been recommended can sign up for the township examination.
The township examination is held in the state capital, and the examiners are all appointed by the emperor. Those who pass the township examination are candidates. The biggest difference between Juren and Xiucai is that Juren has the qualifications to be recommended to work in the officialdom.
Therefore, this exam is not unimportant to Song Qingyun.
Hong Dou used to visit the Jiangnan Gongyuan. At that time, looking at the cubicles, he just felt that the ancient people were too miserable, and the exam was like going to prison.
She still remembered that the sun was about to go down at that time, and most of the tourists had left. She was wandering around alone, and she could vaguely feel that there were people sitting in the cubicle, which scared her and ran out.
"Qingyun is too miserable." Hongdou couldn't help saying what was in his heart when he thought about what he saw at that time.
"You child, what are you talking about? Being able to study and having the opportunity to take the provincial examination is already a great blessing. Not all families allow their children to study. At the beginning, your father did not take the scientific examination because the family did not have enough money. Road." In Ren Pingping's heart, Song Ziwen is a talent who knows everything, and she feels that if her husband goes to take the scientific examination, he will definitely be able to make it to the top.
Hongdou was also silent, no matter in the Chen Dynasty or in her previous era, reading is the best way to advance in class. Although there are many unfair places in the exam, it is already a relatively fair way.
Song Ziwen also thought about it in his heart before, if his elder brother hadn't taken the imperial examination, would he have a chance and how far he could go. But that was just a fantasy when he was young and confused. Now he is no longer entangled in these things. After seeing too much life and death, and life is impermanent, he feels that a family together is the best life.
The so-called no confusion at forty is not that people understand everything when they reach forty, but that they understand everything that should be understood, and are not attached to what should not be understood.
"Doudou, originally it was enough for me and your mother to take care of Qingyun, but now you are coming along, along with Nong Mo and Nong Ying. There are too many of us." Song Ziwen didn't want his wife and daughter to be entangled in the topic just now, and asked A topic said.
Song Zixiao and Zhao Xueqing really didn't have time to accompany Song Qingyun to the state capital to take part in the provincial examination, so Song Ziwen and Ren Pingping formed the "medicine and food worry-free" combination. The two of them will accompany Song Qingyun to take the provincial examination. After all, there is still more than half a month between arriving at the state capital and preparing for the examination. Naturally, the best conditions should be prepared for the candidates within the scope of family conditions.
Hongdou had only been to the state capital once or twice before, and she came and left in a hurry. Now that she has the opportunity to stay in the state capital for more than half a month, she will naturally follow.
Song Ziwen couldn't screw her, so he could only ask Song Xiaohe and Yang Lingfeng to help guard the shop, and Nong Lian stayed for them to cook. In order to avoid attracting gossip, Lao Songtou and Grandma Song were also invited to sit in the store.
"Yeah, with so many of us, it's not cost-effective to live in a hotel, and there must be a lot of people staying in a hotel in the state capital now, why don't we rent a house." Ren Pingping felt that the inn is not suitable for studying, so it's better to find a house by yourself. Living in a house, the place is spacious and not restricted by people.
Hongdou felt that it would be convenient to stay in a hotel when going out. If we find a place to live by ourselves, we have to buy all kinds of daily necessities, which is inconvenient: "Mother, if we find a place to live by ourselves, don't we have to buy bedding? What a hassle to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar."
"What's the matter, we have the bedding in the car. Besides, we are going to cook for Qingyun to make medicinal food. If we stay in a hotel, it is not so convenient to use other people's kitchen, and the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are also expensive. It¡¯s only a few dollars, just buy less.¡± Ren Pingping, as a professional housewife, arranged things clearly at once.
Song Ziwen nodded: "My lady is right, why don't you find an inn to rest after going to the state, let's go out and see if there is a suitable house, if there is no one, just make up at the inn."
Hongdou's family sat chatting on the carriage driven by Song Ziwen, and Song Qingyun was also talking to Nong Mo who was driving the carriage behind: "Nong Mo, I am going to take the provincial examination this time.?Too much time to hang out with Doudou. When the time comes, you and Nongying remember to take Doudou out for a walk. "
"Understood, young master." Nong Mo replied loudly. He knew that although his young master was careless when getting along with Miss Tang, he actually cared about his younger sister very much in his heart.
The Gongyuan in Chuzhou was built along the Hanhuai River, and near the Gongyuan is the Confucius Temple and some shops of the Four Treasures of the Study. On the other side of the Hanhuai River is a row of brothels. The world's cleanest place for reading and the most prosperous place for fireworks are far away from each other, presenting a picture of Tai Chi, so contradictory yet so harmonious.
Song Ziwen found a small courtyard in Zouma Lane near Gongyuan.
Speaking of Zoumaxiang, there is also a well-known story. The masters who passed the provincial examination in the state capital will basically find a place to live near the Gongyuan, and continue to study while communicating with other masters. When the time for the examination comes, they will go to the capital to participate in the examination together. Once they pass the examination, they will become Gongsheng students. If you enter the officialdom as a juren, you can only engage in some local affairs. To put it bluntly, you are just an official. But if you enter the officialdom as a Gongsheng, you are an official in the true sense. Not only can you formally preside over the work, but your rank will be much higher.
Only Gongsheng students are eligible to participate in the palace examination hosted by the emperor, and the pass rate of the palace examination is very high. Under normal circumstances, the passing rate of the palace examination is 100%. That is to say, all Gongshi will eventually become Jinshi.
The difference between Jinshi is only the ranking, which is determined and approved by the emperor. The first, second, and third places in the first class are the champion, second place, and Tanhua. They are called "Jinshijiji". A few people in the second class are called "Jinshi background". Several people in the top three are said to be "from the same Jinshi background".
Speaking of which, the alley that Song Ziwen found was because after the establishment of the Chen Dynasty, there were more than 30 Jinshi who came out of this alley in the past dynasties. When the late emperor passed by here on his southern tour, in order to show respect for the students all over the world, he got off his horse and walked through the alley. So this alley was named "Zouma Alley". (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
