marquis of jingan

Chapter 144

The incident at the snack shop in Dongshi Street did not cause too many disturbances in the end.

The relevant yamen and the Ministry of Rites of the imperial court may know about this matter, or they may not know it, or they may pretend not to know it. In short, no yamen came to ask about this matter. This matter can only be shelved for the time being because of the motive of "aspiring to eat Hulu meat".

As for this matter, no one knows whether His Majesty the Emperor who lives in the deep palace knows.

And after Shen Yi simply dealt with the matter of the snack shop, he told Xu Fu and Ding Man to temporarily close the shop for a few days.

Because in the past few days, Shen Yi is going to take the entrance examination, and he has no free time to deal with the business of the shop.

Da Chen's college exam only takes two exams, that is, the exam takes two days, and the procedure is similar to the county exam. The interval between the two exams is one or two days, depending on the specific notice from the school administration office.

The only difference from the county test is that students in the same province have different test times.

For example, Jiangdu, where Shen Yi is located, is managed by Jiankang Mansion. Because Jiangdu Mansion is very close to Jiankang, Jiangdu's children's examinations are taken together with Jiankang's children.

For those state capitals that are far away from Jiankang, they have to wait until the school administration presides over Jiankang's college exams, and then go to the scene in person to preside over the college exams locally, and test the children from nearby prefectures.

The content of the courtyard examination is not much different from the county examination, because there are only two exams, and the content of the examination is relatively simplified, but it is nothing more than choosing two of these subjects, including post scriptures, test post poems, ink meanings, essays, and policy theory. How to choose the topic depends on the mood of Master Xuezheng.

Because the exam will be held on the fourth day of March, on the third day of March, Shen Yi packed up some stationery and test baskets necessary for the exam room, found a place to live near the Jiankang exam room, and went to bed early the next day before dawn. I got up and went to the examination room to report.

Because I went to the Xuezheng Yamen to sign up early, the clerk at the entrance of the examination room confirmed Shen Yi's examination card identity, and after a body search, Shen Yi was put in. After many searches, Shen Yi finally got his own examination card.

Tianzi No. [-].

The test number is very important, because it not only represents the candidate's seat, but also basically becomes the candidate's code name. Whether it is the first admission or a subsequent case, the announced list is written with the test number instead of the test number. Write your real name.

After getting the test number, Shen Yi began to search for his test room according to the test number. After finding his test room, Shen Yi hung the test card at the door of the test room, and then he was not in a hurry to sit down, but from the test room. He took out a square cloth from the basket and began to wipe the tables and chairs.

This is the experience Shen Yi summed up in the previous two exams.

A place like the examination room can only be used once a year or even two years. Although the responsible yamen at all levels will send people to clean it before the exam, but the people at the yamen gate have their nostrils in the air. How can they seriously do this kind of cleaning work? At first, when Shen Yi took the county exam, he was covered in ashes, and when he walked out of the exam room, the new clothes on his body were covered in smoke and dust.

Now Shen can be regarded as a veteran of the examination room, with rich experience.

Because it was March at this moment, the dawn was not early. After Shen Yi finished cleaning the examination room in a hurry, the sky had not completely brightened yet, so he was not in a hurry, and fell asleep on the table.

When the servants of the Xuezheng Yamen knocked the gong to distribute the examination questions, Shen Yi woke up from his dream and took the examination questions from the servants.

It's essays.

The topic is a sentence in the classics of Confucian sages.

Repaying resentment with virtue, why repay virtue?

Shen Yi has long been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics. In the past few months, he has not missed reading the anthology. In addition, these famous sentences in the Four Books were taught by the gentlemen when they were in Ganquan Academy. Shen Yi's teacher Qin Qin My husband once gave Shen Yi a similar topic and asked him to write an essay.

With Shen Yi's current knowledge, it is not difficult to make such an essay. He first wrote it on the draft paper, then checked the typos and some inappropriate places, and carefully transcribed the revised essay into the examination paper.

Just as Shen Yi was answering the questions attentively, Jiankang Xuezheng Feng Ying led a group of officials from the Xuezheng Yamen to inspect the examination room. When passing by Shen Yi's examination room, this Feng Xuezheng stopped for a moment and glanced at the examination card on Shen Yi's examination room , and then walk away with his hands behind his back.

The day passed quickly, and when the first round of gongs sounded in the evening, Shen Yi handed in the papers on time and left the examination room.

What I have to say is that the academic and administrative office in the capital is very efficient. The next afternoon after the first round of the college examination passed, the second examination list was posted at the entrance of the examination room.

The elimination rate of the college exam is not low, and it is very cruel, because the number of people admitted in the first round of the college exam is twice the number of scholars admitted by the department.

In some local state capitals, each prefecture may only admit thirty or forty scholars in one session. Although there are more lists of local scholars like Jiankang Jiangdu, there are at most one or two hundred places.

However, the number of participants in each college examination is more than 3000.

That is to say, in the first round of the college examination, almost [-]% of the children will be eliminated, and only [-]% will enter the next round of the college examination, and then half of them will be selected in the next round.

Shen Yi's essays were well written, and he entered the first round very smoothly. After waiting for a day near the examination room, the second round of the college examination started.

Since the first round of the college examination has set essays, then the second round of the college exam must be policy theory.

Shen Yi has undergone rigorous training by several famous teachers, and he has been reading policy theory collections in Liquan Building during this time, so he is already very experienced in writing policy theory. After getting the second round of examination questions, Shen Yi just thought briefly. After a while, I started to write on the manuscript paper to solve the problem, and in less than an hour, I wrote a decent policy theory.

Because the questions are not difficult, and Zhang Jian said earlier that Shen Yi would not have to worry about the college entrance examination, Shen Yi wrote very quickly. Just after lunch time, he transcribed the strategy theory on the examination paper, opened the examination basket, and started cooked rice.

Just as Shen Yi was burying his head in eating in the examination room, a neutral and mellow voice came: "Finished?"

Shen Yi looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a third-rank official uniform standing at the door of his examination room.

The academic officials in the provinces of Dachen are called "Tixue", and most of them are of the fourth rank. Only the academic officials in Gyeonggi, that is, Jiankang, are called "Xuezheng", and they are of the third rank.

At this moment, he is taking the examination, and naturally there will be no other third-rank officials who can patrol here. Shen Yi quickly wiped the cake crumbs from the corner of his mouth, stood up from his seat, and bowed his hands to the middle-aged man in front of him: "Students have met the Grand Master."

Jiankang Xuezheng Feng Ying, who is also the "Great Master" in Shen Yi's mouth, nodded slightly, looked at Shen Yi's test card again, and smiled at Shen Yi: "I see that you are writing like a fly, I think it's already written It's over."

"Students get lucky by chance, so they write faster."

Feng Xuezheng lowered his eyebrows, glanced at a line on Shen Yi's test paper, silently memorized the line in his heart, and then nodded slowly: "It's good for a young man to have self-confidence, just eat, I have to go to other places to inspect the examination room .”

After all, this Feng Xuezheng left with a group of people from the government office.

Shen Yi, on the other hand, stood at the door of his examination room, looking thoughtfully at Feng Xuezheng who was gradually going away.

"It's exactly the same as what Senior Brother Zhang said..."
