Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 389
"I've been signing up since this afternoon. Hurry up and don't dawdle any longer. After lunch, I'll take you there in person. This time, no matter what you say, you have to be admitted to this university." The middle-aged man looked at Sun Qingchang and said, Said with a serious face.

Except for Sun Qingchang, in the entire Xuan Town, as long as there are people who have studied at home and are around 20 years old, almost all of them look like this.

These parents are more anxious than his children at this time.

After lunch, Sun Qingchang's father hurriedly led Sun Qingchang towards the university.

Originally, Sun Qingchang's father planned to take Sun Qingchang with him in a carriage, but now Sun Qingchang liked riding a bicycle, and he refused to take a carriage anyway.

And his father couldn't ride a bicycle, so he had to sit in the carriage and follow behind Sun Qingchang.

Sun Qingchang thought he came early enough, but he didn't expect that when he came to the registration point set up by Daming University, he found that there was already a sea of ​​people, and the entire registration point was overwhelmed by the crowd.

"Brother Sun, it really is you!" Just as Sun Qingchang stopped at the end of the line with his bicycle, a young man of his age came up and stopped beside Sun Qingchang.

"Brother Cheng, I didn't expect you to come too. I remember your father said that if you were going to such a university, he would break your legs?" Sun Qingchang looked at the excited Cheng Hao who was shaking his folding fan, Said teasingly.

Cheng Hao said: "What do you know, didn't you select hundreds of people from the university to go to Shanxi Town a few days ago? After my father learned about this, he instantly became jealous.

After moaning and sighing at home for a long time, he kept regretting, saying that he regretted not letting me go.

He also said that if I go, I will definitely be selected and go to Shanxi Town.No, my father personally sent me to sign up this time! "

Cheng Hao pointed behind him, and saw a middle-aged man with a similar face leading a few servants, standing behind Cheng Hao, looking this way with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"Hey, my father is still like this. By the way, you usually like the study of arithmetic and mathematics the most. Do you think you are sure this time?" Sun Qingchang asked.

Cheng Hao patted his chest, and said firmly: "I'm not bragging for you, I'm sure."

"In that case, let's hurry up and line up. From what it looks like, there are probably 3000 to [-] people here today. This is the first day." Sun Qingchang parked his bicycle next to him, and then went to sign up with Cheng Hao place to go.

The registration point is located in front of the square below the library building, and the square is now flooded with crowds.

Because Sun Qingchang and Cheng Hao came late, they had to be at the back.

Sun Qingchang's father, Sun Dong, parked the carriage outside the university, and led a few servants to the back of the square.

Standing under a big willow tree, he looked anxiously at the long queue in front of him.

"May I ask that you also accompanied your child to sign up?" Cheng Hao's father, Cheng Wentao, came over and cupped his hands at Sun Dong with a smile on his face.

Sun Dong returned a salute, "Yes, I just learned about it this morning, so I hurriedly sent the child here."

"It's the same below. I thought I came early enough, but I didn't expect it to be a bit late." Cheng Wentao looked at the densely packed team in front of him, feeling a little anxious.

"Hey, I think the same as you, I also thought I came early enough, but I didn't expect it to be late.

Originally, I didn't want to come, after all, the child is so old, but if I didn't come, I was really worried.Although I am also a Juren, but here in Xuanzhen, Juren is useless. "Sun Dong sighed.

"That's right, Xuanzhen is different now. Normally, even if the child takes the imperial examination, I wouldn't care about it. Everything is his own business.

But it's different now, and the sky is about to change now, so I can't help but be careless. "

Although what Cheng Wentao said was very cryptic, Sun Dong could still understand.

After all, Sun Dong's small calculations are almost the same as Cheng Wentao's.

With Xuanzhen's current strength, it is estimated that the Ming Dynasty will soon come, and when the new dynasty comes to power, it will be the time when a large number of talents will be needed.

Sending your own children to college at this time, there is a great chance that they can be either party in the future.

If it was just an ordinary exam, these parents would not put down their face and send their children to sign up in person.

But this time it's different, this time it's the work of the dragon, so they can't help but be careless.

……

The registration period lasted until the morning of October 1nd, and a total of more than [-] people signed up.

Even so, there are still many students who delay the registration time due to various reasons and miss the registration.

These students who missed the registration couldn't help but sighed about the unfair fate for a while.

Among the 1 people who signed up were the children of gentry, businessmen, ordinary people, and even military families.

Sun Qingchang had already registered on the first day and got his admission ticket at the same time.

There is not much difference between the current examination admission ticket and the later examination admission ticket, with detailed information and specific appearance characteristics of the candidates on it.

After Sun Qingchang signed up, he locked himself in the study and began to review seriously.

During the period of review, all the people in the mansion were cautious no matter what they did.

Even Sun Dong, who likes to meet up with friends for drinks on weekdays, calmed down and suppressed the thoughts in his heart.

In the past few days, except for going to the toilet, Sun Qingchang didn't take a step out of the study for the rest of the time.

Seeing his son working so hard, Sun Dong was also very satisfied.

"This kid really looks like I did when I took the government test." Sun Dong sat in the hall with an excited expression on his face.

Sun Qingchang's mother sat next to Sun Dong, "You, when your son was going to take this university, you insisted on stopping him."

"Didn't I not understand the situation at the time? Now the situation is obvious. If I still stop him, then I will delay his future." Sun Dong retorted, stroking his beard.

Time passed slowly, and October [-] came on time.

Sun Qingchang got up early that day, and after washing up, he walked out of the study room and came to the dining room for the first time.

Sun Qingchang looked at his parents who were already sitting in the hall, and bowed first.

"Come and eat quickly. Today is the exam time. If you don't eat enough, you won't have the strength to take the exam." Sun's mother waved at Sun Qingchang with a smile on her face.

Sun Qingchang let out a sigh, and then sat down at the dining table.

Sun Dong looked at the servant standing beside him, and ordered: "Hurry up and get everything ready for the exam. Now there is only one hour left before the exam."

The servant saluted Sun Dong and hurried down.

"This is the mung bean soup that I specially ordered the kitchen to make for you. To quench your thirst, drink more." Sun's mother put the bowl of mung bean soup on the table in front of Sun Qingchang.

Sun Qingchang didn't care too much, picked up the bowl and started drinking.

After breakfast, the time for the exam is getting closer.

Sun Qingchang stood up and looked at his parents, "Father and Mother, I'm going to take the exam. Today I can go alone. Don't send me off."

"Are you going alone? This exam is of great importance. What should we do if something goes wrong?" Sun Dong asked.

Sun Qingchang said: "It's only two steps away, I'll be there soon on my bicycle, don't worry about it."

After Sun Qingchang finished speaking, he took the bamboo basket containing the examination supplies from the servant, turned and left.

Looking at the back of Sun Qingchang leaving, Sun's mother sighed: "The child has finally grown up and is so sensible."

But Sun Dong said disapprovingly: "I didn't go alone when I took the Juren exam? Chang'er is now 20 years old, and he doesn't go to the exam alone today. Do you want me to send him again? "

"Can he compare with you? You were already in your 30s when you took the Juren exam. It's not embarrassing enough if you fail to pass the Juren exam in your 30s." Grandma rolled her eyes and teased.

Sun Qingchang put the test items in the basket in front of the bicycle, and then pushed the bicycle out of the house.

It is not very far from his home to the university, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to ride a bicycle.

When Sun Qingchang came to the university, the entrance of the university was already full of students who came to take the exam.

Sun Qingchang parked his bicycle at the door, took out the bamboo basket containing test supplies from the bicycle basket, and walked towards the university gate.

Just a few steps away, Sun Qingchang met Cheng Hao.

"The exam is about to start, are you nervous?" Cheng Hao looked at Sun Qingchang nervously.

Sun Qingchang smiled and said, "What's there to be nervous about? Just take your time."

"You have a big heart. When I set off this morning, my father told me not to come back if I didn't pass the exam." Cheng Hao took a few deep breaths and kept calming down his nervous mood.

Sun Qingchang said: "My father didn't say these words, by the way, which examination room are you from?"

"I'm Jiazi NO.17 examination room, how about you?" Cheng Hao looked at his admission ticket and said.

"I am also the No. 17 examination room of Jiazi." Sun Qingchang said excitedly.

Cheng Hao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Since both of us are in the No. 17 examination room of Jiazi, let's compare the two of us to see who finishes the test paper first."

Sun Qingchang looked unconvinced, "Compare, no one is afraid of anyone."

While the two were talking, the university gate was brought in from inside, and the guards of the university came out from inside.

"Everyone line up and do a body search first. Only after passing the body search can they enter. If there is cheating or cheating, once discovered, their qualifications for the exam will be disqualified immediately."

A seven-foot man in black clothes and holding a mace led seven to eighty people standing at the school gate, shouting at the students gathered outside.

"Now you line up and come one by one, no crowding, no noise, no trouble."

The big man stood in front and shouted non-stop, and these students hurriedly followed the big man's instructions and started to line up.

Not long after the search started, several candidates with cheat sheets were kicked out.

Sun Qingchang looked at these candidates who were crying and begging for another chance, and instantly became contemptuous.

Sun Qingchang was at the front, and it didn't take long before it was his turn.

"Examination admission ticket!" The big man shouted at Sun Qingchang.

Sun Qingchang hurriedly took out the admission ticket and handed it to the big man.

After careful inspection, the big man handed over the admission ticket to him and arranged for a body search.

When everything was over, Sun Qingchang walked in with his exam tools and admission ticket.

As soon as he walked in, Sun Qingchang saw the signs on the road.He followed the signs on the road and came to his examination room.

Cheng Hao followed behind him and entered the examination room at the same time.

As soon as he sat down, Sun Qingchang put his exam items under the table, closed his eyes slightly, and began to rest his mind.

Cheng Hao sat behind him on the left, about three seats away from him.

The layout of the examination room is not much different from that of the later generations. Each examination room can accommodate [-] candidates to take the exam at the same time. There are four invigilators in the examination room, and there are tours outside the examination room.

As the bell rang for the start of the exam, Sun Qingchang took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.

The invigilator unpacked the prepared test papers and distributed them one by one.

"The exam time is two hours. There is an hourglass to mark the time in the classroom. When all the wooden signs in the hourglass float up, the exam time will be over." The invigilator pointed to a copper hourglass timer in the corner of the classroom. Shouted to the candidates in the classroom.

After getting the test paper, Sun Qingchang didn't rush to pick up his pen, but started to check it first.

After checking all the test papers, Sun Qingchang took out the pen and ink he had prepared and began to answer.

The first test is Chinese studies, and these things are simply sub-questions for a scholarly family like Sun Qingchang.

Sun Qingchang held a brush and buried himself in writing on the test paper.

When he finished all the answers, there was still more than half an hour before the end of the exam.

He rubbed his sore wrist, looked at the hourglass in front of the classroom, and then raised his hand as a signal.

The invigilator looked at Sun Qingchang who raised his hand, and walked over slowly.

"You can go. Remember, you can't come in after leaving the examination room, and you can't make loud noises, otherwise your grades will be cancelled?" The invigilator packed up Sun Qingchang's test papers, whispered a few words, and let him leave.

Sun Qingchang cupped his hands at the invigilator, saluted, picked up his examination tools, and walked outside.

At this time, Cheng Hao also finished answering.

"How is it?" Cheng Hao walked out of the examination room, hurriedly caught up with Sun Qingchang, and asked in a low voice.

Sun Qingchang smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not too difficult, I've finished the answers."

"Me too, I don't think it's too difficult. But there's still a math class in the afternoon, so this test can open up the distance." Cheng Hao let out a long breath, feeling a little more at ease in his heart.

Sun Qingchang looked at Cheng Hao, "Mathematics is in the afternoon, not too late. By the way, where are you going to eat? How about we go to this university cafeteria?"

"The university cafeteria will sell us food?" Cheng Hao looked at Sun Qingchang suspiciously.

"You don't know? When I signed up, the teachers who signed up said that the school can provide us with meals during the exam, but we have to pay for it.

are you going?Today I treat you, if you don't go, then I will go by myself. "Sun Qingchang hurriedly urged.

"Go, why not?" Cheng Hao hurriedly replied.

Not long after lunch, the second exam began.

The math test paper this time is either difficult or not, and the topics in it are basically selected from books like "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic", with a slight twist.

In the past, Sun Qingchang liked mathematics, and he liked to study books such as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" on weekdays, so this math test paper was easy for him.
