Chapter 838 Xu Jiazi

Fangxian Cheng was one of the invigilators, and after the examination started, he brought several clerks and yamen servants to patrol the examination room, and after patrolling for nearly an hour, he returned to the main room in the front yard, and bowed to Zheng County Magistrate: "My lord. "

Then he bowed to an old man in the room: "Ma Jiaoyu."

Ma Jiaoyu is one of the teaching instructions of the government school, and he was ordered to come to the county government to invigilate the examination.

However, Ma Jiaoyu is famous for being easy to talk to and understands his status. He is only responsible for accompanying the invigilator and will not do anything that is presumptuous.

Ma Jiaoyu looked kind and was an old pedant. He nodded, cupped his hands, and returned to Fangxian Cheng to salute.

County magistrate Zheng looked at Fang Xiancheng and said with a smile, "Master Fang has worked hard."

Fang Xiancheng shook his head: "It's just an invigilator, it's not hard work, it's the group of candidates who worked hard."

County magistrate Zheng saw that he was emotional, and asked with a smile: "Master Fang, is this when you think of your scientific examination?"

Fang Xiancheng nodded: "It was difficult at the time, but now it's scary to think about it. It's just one exam after another, and there is no end."

The county examination is just the beginning of the imperial examination. After the county examination, there are government examinations and hospital examinations.Only after passing the college examination can one become a scholar, and one can be regarded as a real scholar.

And after being admitted as a scholar, you have to take the exams for Juren and Jinshi. There is really no end to it, and it can exhaust you to death.

County magistrate Zheng smiled: "Master Fang is already a leader in the imperial examination. Most of them are people who have gray hair and failed to enter high school."

Fang Xiancheng listened, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Your Excellency is absurd, it is not as good as the clan of adults, and there are not many people in the clan who have achieved fame."

The Jinling Zheng family is a powerful family, and they have been officials hundreds of years ago.There is also ethnology in the clan, and all the children of the clan can enter the ethnology for free when they reach the age.

County Magistrate Zheng smiled, and didn't say much about the Zheng clan, but asked Fang County Chancellor: "Master Fang, can you see the Xu family's offspring?"

The Xu family is a large family in Tianfu County, with countless land assets and many shops. However, the Xu family seems to have no official career. Although the family is rich, it has been unemployed for generations.

Mr. Xu is looking forward to day and night, and finally looking forward to Xu Zhaoming, the golden grandson, waiting for Xu Zhaoming to go to high school in one fell swoop.

Fang County Prime Minister nodded: "I see you, I have a graceful demeanor and outstanding literary talent. I heard that he is a student of Jinling Honghu Academy. He has been honed for many years. He just waits for this time to end, win a small three yuan, and become famous in one fell swoop."

Ma Jiaoyu didn't talk much. Hearing this, he said: "Honghu Academy is a famous academy in Jinling. Students who can study in Honghu Academy are all proud. I think this young man of the Xu family has some skills. The old man really wants to come here sooner." See his paper."

"Little Sanyuan?" County magistrate Zheng smiled, fearing that the Xu family's calculations were in vain, just because there was Gu Jin'an this year.

He didn't know about other people, but Gu Jin'an knew it very well.In the past three years, he has read a lot of Gu Jinan's theories and poems, all of which are excellent works, and they are different from the delicate and delicate works of Jianghuai and Jiangnan.

Fang Xiancheng listened, and asked: "According to the adults, it seems that Xu Jiazi can't pass the exam?"

County magistrate Zheng, as the chief examiner of the county examination, naturally wouldn't talk nonsense, and said with a smile: "I haven't checked the papers yet, so I don't know if he can pass the exam. Besides, this little Sanyuan can't just pass the county exam. You have to look at it." Government exams, hospital exams."

After saying that, County Magistrate Zheng didn't say any more, but got up and said to Jiao Ma: "Let's go to the examination room."

Ma Jiaoyu nodded: "Well, it's time to go around." He is here to invigilate the exam, and this is his duty.

County Magistrate Zheng and Ma Jiaoyu took several clerks and a team of yamen servants to inspect the examination shed for more than half an hour under the cold wind in February, and then Fang Xiancheng took the inspection, just in rotation like this, and people could not be cut off.

At You time in the afternoon, County Magistrate Zheng ordered the drums to be beat three times before lighting incense.

After the scribe finished lighting the incense, he shouted in the examination room: "The stick of incense has been lit, and the paper will be collected when it is burned out. I hope all students will answer the paper and seal their names as soon as possible!"

After hearing this, the examinees were very nervous. Two timid candidates who hadn't finished their papers passed out directly.

The county soldiers rushed to inform magistrate Zheng.

County magistrate Zheng shook his head: "With this little concentration, how can I be able to handle things when I become a parent officer in the future? Write down your name and cross it out."

"Yes." The county soldiers took the order and took the two fainted candidates out of the number room, and put them in a room in the ceremony room, and threw them out after the dragon gate opened.

The sticks of incense used in the yamen are very short, and burn out in less than a quarter of an hour.

Boom~boom~boom!

The drums sounded again, without the excitement when the exam started, it was a dull and slow drum sound.

When the drums sounded, County Magistrate Xu, County Chancellor Fang, and Ma Jiaoyu led the scribes to start collecting papers row by row.

All the papers are sealed by the examinees themselves, and after the grades are determined, the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the invigilator will tear the seals and open them together to prevent fraud.

After another half an hour of busy work, all the papers were collected.

Candidates watched their papers being taken away, as if their souls had been taken away, feeling uneasy.

Fang Xiancheng shouted at the examinees: "The first test is over, all students leave with the county soldiers, and the Dragon Gate will be opened for a retest tomorrow!"

The examinees followed the county soldiers and left the examination shed. By the time they left the dragon gate, the sky outside had already darkened.

Outside the dragon gate, there was still a lot of voices, all of them were family members or servants who came to pick up the examinees.

It was the first time for Gu Dashan and the others to take the exam, and they were very nervous. After sending the five of Gu Jinan to the exam room in the morning, they went to the Luo Family Escort Bureau to stay.

"Brother An, Brother An and the others are here." Zezi had good eyesight and saw Gu Jin'an at a glance.

Gu Dashan and the men from the other family listened, and hurried over. After seeing his son, the first question he asked was: "How did you do in the exam?"

Gu Jinan looked at Gu Dashan and said with a smile, "Very good." With a relaxed smile, he obviously did well in the exam.

Qi Kangming also looked relaxed, and it seemed that he did not do badly in the exam.

Gu Qingliang and Gu Qingtian came here to take the exam. Brother Gu Damu didn't ask them, it didn't matter how they did in the exam.

Gu Dexing was not so sure, looked at Gu Dafu, then at Gu Dagui, and said, "Father, Second Uncle, I don't know if I can pass the exam."

Gu Dafu comforted him: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam."

Gu Dagui also smiled and said: "Yes, Brother Xing, don't be afraid, if you don't pass the exam this time, let's take the exam next time."

"Damn! What are you talking about? Shut up if you don't know auspicious words. You can't pass the exam. I have worshiped all the Taoist temples, mountain temples, and earth temples in the county. How can Brother Xing fail the exam? "Mr. Chen couldn't wait to be a scholar aunt for a long time, and hated others that Gu Dexing failed the exam.

Gu Dagui was scolded, and hurriedly said: "OK, OK, I was wrong, stop scolding, let's go home quickly, or the city gate will be closed."

After hearing this, the family hurriedly greeted Gu Jinan and his mule cart, and ran towards Dafeng Village, Qingfu Town.

Originally, they could live in the county town, but Gu Jin'an and the others said that they should live at home to be more at ease, not to panic, and there is a mule cart at home, which runs fast, and it doesn't take much time to go back and forth.

……

Gu Jinan and the others returned home, and went to the county seat to take the re-examination the next day.

The re-examination is the second round, and the test questions are much more difficult than the first round, while the third round is a re-examination, and the test questions are even more difficult.

Many candidates handed in half of the papers in the third test, but Gu Jin'an was able to handle it with ease. After three consecutive tests, he was still in good spirits.

After the third test, Gu Jinan met Xu Zhaoming.
